Clinton Endorses Palin
OK, not exactly, but effectively. The day’s Palin roundup starts with Bill liking Sarah, via NewsCorp:
Mr Clinton, acclaimed even by his enemies as one of the most consummate American politicians in recent history, said he did not agree with Republican vice presidential pick Mrs Palin on politics, but warned fellow Democrats not to underestimate her.
“She’s an instinctively effective candidate and with a compelling story,” Mr Clinton said in an interview with CNBC.
“I think it was exciting to some that she was a woman,” said Mr Clinton. “And I gotta say, that’s one smoking hot Republican!”
Yeah, yeah, I made up that last bit.
“I think she, I get why she’s done so well. It’s a mistake to underestimate her. She’s got good intuitive skills. They’re significant.”
Mr Clinton said he thought Republican presidential candidate John McCain, a Vietnam war hero and veteran lawmaker, was a “great man” and that the election on November 4 would be close, but he predicted Democrat Barack Obama would emerge triumphant.
But if Senator McCain should win, would Hillary Clinton, who narrowly failed to capture the Democratic presidential nomination this time around, challenge the Arizona senator in 2012?
“I don’t know,” Mr Clinton said.
In other Palin news:
Malkin on Emailgate and Obamist AP: Victim was asking for it.
Wash Times: Hacker wanted to derail Palin, found no dirty laundry while rooting through her drawers.
Gateway: Tennessee Dem rep’s son.
Vanderleun: Palin should give the kid a break.
That would definitely be the high road, a classy move. I hope the feds don’t, though. Hacking is a crime, and invasion of privacy is a serious matter.
But he’s a young college kid, caught up in the excitement of the moment. No harm in granting some clemency. Here’s what I’d like to hear the sentencing judge tell him: “Through that door is the federal slammer. Through that door is the United States Marine Corps.”
Vanderleun also has obtained Obama’s Gmail.

Honestly, Jules, do you think the Marines would have any use for him?
