– Jonathan Martin’s Blog: In reintroduction, Palin to do more interviews and “tell her story” - Politico.com

Matthew: maybe I say this because people keep using the word crisis all the time, but I was just thinking "you know, it kinda feels like the United States is in the middle of a big crossover event right now"
Sean: god help us!
but you're right
Matthew: it's that "everything at once" feeling
Sean: it's the Final Crisis model where you've got the main thing, which is the election, and then all these tie-ins
Matthew: "nothing will be the same again!"
Sean: Financial Crisis
Rage of the Red Staters
Matthew: Rove's Revenge
Sean: Palin of 3 Worlds

Sean: costume?
Matthew: wasn't Jimmy Olsen Turtle Boy or something when that happened?
Sean: no, I meant Dennis Kucinich is turtley enough as it is
Matthew: snap
