PINK FLOYD & SARAH PALIN???

For those of us who are Floydies, that coupling alone is jarring but that's what popped into my mind when I heard about Caribou Barbie endorsing Newt Gingrich:

Here's former political person Sarah Palin continuing her weird quest to endorse Newt Gingrich without really endorsing him, telling weekend Fox News muppet Jeanine Pirro that Republicans should vote for Newt Gingrich now to "rage against the machine" and "annoy a liberal."

Goodness, really: "Vote for Newt. Annoy a liberal. Vote Newt."

(For those unfamliar with Pink Floyd, the song "Welcome to the Machine" is from their 1975 album, Wish You Were Here. The song is a condemnation of the crass commercialism of the music industry.)

This endorsement upset Glenda Beck who is convinced that Newt is another Republican Progressive.
