Empress Palin has pulled most of her engagements. One in Florida was cancelled because of 'thunderstorms.'

Uh huh.

The Orange Satan has been tingling with rumours that an uber-scandal is in the offing. I think it's just as likely that McRunningJoke is seething with misogyny at being upstaged. He didn't really think this through, and when Her Imperiousness made her speech about a Palin/McCain administration he decided to remind her who the boss man is.

My guess is the press will try to swing it back to the middle regardless, just for newsworthiness. But if there's the mother of all scandals brewing next week, that's going to be fun to watch.

I won't apologise for wanting to see Palin's political career destroyed over the next month or so. If that doesn't happen she'll be back in 2012, and 2016, and she'll keep coming back until she gets the top job.

The planet really can't afford that, so it's going to be better for everyone (excepting wolves and polar bears) if she goes back to fishing, flirting, and mismanaging car washes.

The McCain campaign apparently hasn't ever heard of the idea of holding events inside.

It's not like they have to hold the event in a stadium park someone's back yard wherever.

I haven't heard of this rumor.  Any idea what it's about?

Scandals are fun.  Where's Vicky Iseman?  I want to know if he was sleeping with her in exchange for voting her way.  (And it would make for some wicked signage playing on the "Drill, Baby, Drill" slogan.)

The rumours are still rumouricious, so could turn out to be nothing. All we have are the facts of the cancellations, and a big pile of - someone I know talked to someone else who said that someone at a major media outlet had found some ugly meat.

The cancellations are real and can't just be explained by the weather, because some of the events were indoors. They've disappeared from the official website schedule, but beyond that it's all guesswork.

As other people have pointed out, Palin isn't being allowed out solo, which is just slightly unusual for an election.

Ah, that makes some sense.  We'll see.  I hadn't even considered that as a possible reason for the cancellations.  I figured they were likely just hiding her again because of all the press coverage.

Either way, I'm grateful to McCain.  Palin's-mother-from-Bobby's-World accent makes me want to throw things at my teevee, so not having to listen to her is welcome.
