That was kind of annoying especially the you betcha.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear the newest supreme court guy, a non-idiot, using expressions like doggonnit. There are plenty of reasons to be upset with the Palin pick, but doggonit and youbetcha do not exemplify what's wrong with it.

yeah some people just have irrational hatred of palin. i really don't understand why some people throw reason out when it comes to political discussions.

Once a poster said "Dagnabit Listerine" and threw his hat on the ground. That was very hot.
