All worries about Palin instantly assuaged by reassuring endorsements of Bush and Cheney

According Time magazine, Dick Cheney, who's skulking around Europe on some immensely suspicious secret mission, approves of the Palin pick, and laughed when he recalled her speech at the Republican convention -- partly because her jokes amused him, but mainly just because he is a happy-go-lucky fellow and a merry chuckle is never far from his lips. And also perhaps because he's figured out some way in which he can implant tiny computers in her brain in order to control her mind and use her as another tool in his world-domination project.

Here's exclusive audio of Dick Cheney laughing.

In other news, this guy, a loveable Washington character who hangs around the White House claiming to be president, approves of the Palin pick too. Both public statements are potential fuel for the Obama campaign's efforts to link McCain to the current administration, so presumably, now that they've said their pieces, we'll hear little more on the topic from either of these two.
