Thanksgiving is the time we set aside each year to give thanks for the many blessings in our lives. Here at Camp Campaign, we thought it might be a good idea to list those things related to politics for which we are thankful this year.

I’m thankful for Michaele and Tareq Salahi, the reality show wannabes who crashed a state dinner at the White House this week. Without there well-publicized party crash and subsequent attempts to sell their story for hundreds of thousands of dollars, we wouldn’t know how lame the security around our president is, how desperate people are to get on TV (the balloon boy evidence notwithstanding), or just how greedy people can be when they get their 15 minutes of fame.

I’m thankful for Sarah Palin.  She’s so good for politics.  She’s just so different than anyone else on the national stage.  She’s hot.  She’s folksy.  She’s not running for anything (at the moment).  She can kill a moose with her bare hands.  She’s like the anti-Nancy Pelosi.  Did I mention that she’s hot?

I’m thankful for the numerous and lengthy recesses taken by Congress each year.  Every day that they’re in recess is a day that they can’t screw anything up.  Maybe we could convince them to take an extra month off each year to celebrate Groundhog Day.

I’m thankful for the 10th amendment.  I’d be more thankful if the Federal government would honor it.  It’s good stuff.  Look it up.

I’m thankful for Fox News.  Love ‘em or hate ‘em, you’ve got to admit that they’ve changed the political discourse in this country.  You know things just aren’t right when the White House declares war on a news network but decides to leave Iran to work on their nuclear bomb in peace.

I’m thankful for freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and the Internet.  The three working hand in hand are a beautiful thing.
