PRICELESS….Email from a friend at 12:14 pm:

Prediction: By the end of the week, someone will make a Sarah Palin spot that is a takeoff on the Mastercard “Priceless” ads.

End of the week? Here’s former McCain advisor Mike Murphy blogging at Swampland at 1:00 pm:

New ad slogan: “Clothes for Gov. Palin? $150,000. Time machine to go back two months to late August and ask what the Hell were Schmidt and Davis thinking when they cooked up this idea and sold it to McCain? Priceless.”

I think my friend is still working on old-fashioned MSM time. We’ll probably have three or four versions of that ad up on YouTube by tomorrow morning at the latest. Sometime tonight is probably a better guess.

Fact:

Mother Jones was founded as a nonprofit in 1976 because we knew corporations and billionaires wouldn't fund the type of hard-hitting journalism we set out to do.
