Palin paying herself a per diem to stay home is hilarious!

"Why, lil ole me, I'm no more than an inoffensive stay-at-home Mom, darlin! EVeryone knows I wouldn't harm a gnat! As long as I get my per diem, I'll be home workin my lil fingers to the bone...You know I wouldn't want to get out there with all the fuss and bother of the big boys fightin and brawlin--might mess up my lipstick! To say nuthin of my coiffure. And it's worth it, you see, for them to pay me to stay home. Mr. and Mrs. McCain, to say nuthin of my new friend Karl Rove, like it that way..."

Meanwhile Obama says "A pig with lipstick is still a pig" right after the WaPo asks whether Palin has influenced to media to go easy....LOL.

And her "closest friends" look in that photo as if they were being grilled by the KGB. Out of four or five, only one of the friends said she would support Paylin.

What a payoff that was.
