from a Vanity Fair article on Sarah Palin

A flamboyant divorce lawyer who drives a big red Hummer with the vanity license plate WAR, Ross is a good old boy of pithy expression and considerable charm.

    Dude! I was going to blog this same article earlier today! I wanted to feature this money quote:

    More than once in my travels in Alaska, people brought up, without prompting, the question of Palin’s extravagant self-regard. Several told me, independently of one another, that they had consulted the definition of “narcissistic personality disorder” in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders—“a pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy”—and thought it fit her perfectly. When Trig was born, Palin wrote an e-mail letter to friends and relatives, describing the belated news of her pregnancy and detailing Trig’s condition; she wrote the e-mail not in her own name but in God’s, and signed it “Trig’s Creator, Your Heavenly Father.”

    But then I held back, unsure if y’all would find this as funny as I do.

    I can never tell if I find this stuff funny or if I want to poke forks in my eyes.

    Bile just rose up in my throat.

    Oh heck. If I couldn’t giggle nervously at the crazy, self-important Christians, I’d have gone blind years ago. Forks are too accessible.
