Class acts, all the way... ...unless this is just a way to keep the family name in the headlines!

Are they sure they aren't Welsh?

Hah!

The surname Palin is a name of British origin, either English or Welsh.

LOL!! See, it's not their fault, it's in their genes!

PALE IN COMPARISON


To Mrs. George G. Meade

FALMOUTH, VA., April 9, 1863.

I have omitted writing for a day or two, as I have been very much occupied in the ceremonies incidental to the President's visit. I was invited on Monday to a very handsome and pleasant dinner with General Hooker. The President and Mrs. Lincoln, Mrs. Stoneman, wife of Major General Stoneman, besides the corps commanders, constituted the party.

Hooker says that the vacant brigadiership in the regular army lay between Sedgwick and myself, however the President intends to leave this position open till after the next fight. I declared to Hooker that I had no pretensions upon it.

I have ventured to tell the President one or two stories, and I think I have made decided progress in his affections. Also I have been making myself very agreeable to Mrs. Lincoln, who seems an amiable sort of personage. Her people in Kentucky are respectable. Her father was a senator, but his mercantile background is offered in mitigation.

Mrs. Lincoln is excessively fond of a free Negro woman, who is seamstress to her now, as well as to Mrs. Varina Davis before the war. This Mrs. Keckley claims that Mrs. Davis offered to employ her at Richmond upon the outbreak of hostilities, that it would be for mere months, after which the Davis family would be back in Washington, living at the White House in the place of the Lincolns.

Strictly entre nous, having seen the likeness of Mrs. Davis in the newspapers, in comparison to the present incumbent’s companion, you must forgive me for observing that the difference is almost sufficient to wish that Mrs. Davis had it half right.

While it is not relevant in the making of brigadiers, Presidents would be advised to choose their mates with more regard to comeliness.

"Then the war did soon engage...

'Twas woman to woman and man to man...

Shillelagh Law was all the rage,

And a row and a ruction soon began...

John McCain scoured the country mile by mile and she was the best Republican he could find.

Still quite a hit with the unwashed and unread masses in the right-wing pasture. The politics of resentment travels well.
