Thursday Stuff
OK, everybody in the world probably has seen this by now, but here's the "Alaska Disasta" herself giving her interview in front of turkeys being slaughtered (I thought the MSNBC captions were hilarious - h/t Atrios)...

And she said it "was fun."
I can't help but wonder if the votes against Stevens in Alaska were against her as well. Knocking him off eliminated her getting his seat if and when he had to resign the senate. She also was snubbed by the governors who elected new leaders, all men. The relection campaign for governor will be very interesting but I think she is finished on the national level.
I'd like to think that you're right about the Stevens votes being against her also - I don't have any numbers one way or the other. And part of me wants her to remain on the national level for kicks, but part of me doesn't. People like her are pretty cagey and seem to end up in jobs way beyond their capabilities (see Bush, George W.).
