Oh wait… Fiorina went on to say that "just because Sarah Palin has different views than Hillary Clinton does not mean that she lacks substance." Fair enough ” so why haven't we seen it? The election is in six weeks, Carly. Time's a wastin'. Instead of calling a female comedian "sexist" when she very obviously is not, let's chat about that "substance."

Did Bristol and Levi Have A Shot Gun Wedding?
Bristol and Levi may have tied the knot recently. That is, according to a Facebook page that has Bristol's name and picture on it. The couple got hitched and she, like any forward thinking woman may or may not do, hyphenated his name. Do you really think that she would have used that picture, out of all pictures available? I'm thinking no. I think that the couple will be getting married soon but that it will be a minute or two before they do. Sarah Palin has a lot going on and needs to get a couple
