I like pissant on most topics. He just goes kind of nuts with regard to Palin. Sort of like the eccentric, avuncular presence, who occasionally goes on a little toot with the rye. Then we all pretend we didn’t notice. That is how we handle it down here anyway, or used to.
And he does have his own party, which is kind of cool. Granted, that might not be as cool as a motorcycle, but at least the parts are not strung out in the garage either.
