Hypocritical McCain Campaign Deploys Aggressively Adorable Piper Palin in Cynical Bid to Butter Up Press Corps


Piper Palin, seen here taking orders from Republican candidate John McCain, has a history of candy-related scandals in her past, according to sources.

For all of you out there who think Gwen Ifill ought to disclose her authorship of her utterly dispassionate examination of "How the Age of Obama Allows for Post-Partisan Uplift in a World Once Again Mercifully and Rightfully Without Republican Leadership," perhaps you can tell me why it was that CNN had to disclose this little tidbit instead of the campaign coming clean:

On the flight to St. Louis, Piper — made famous to the nation during the Republican National Convention when she styled her baby brother's hair with her saliva — wandered back to the rear of the campaign plane to distribute licorice to reporters.

According to extensive reporting by the New York Times, this is not the first time Piper has been caught in a confectionary scandal. Speaking on condition of anonymity, for fear of reprisal by the powerful Alaskan first-grader, several sources confirmed she had once brought cupcakes to her class at school, but "did not have enough for everyone."
