Who the Hell is Sarah Palin? I'm sure I wasn't the only one asking that with the word that she was chosen as John McCain's running mate.

So grab a sack of mooseburgers, throw out your birth control, and relax as we spend more time learning about her than John McCain ever did. These stories were all pulled from Digg, and are the stories with more than 3000 Diggs.
How about we start with a video. This isn't as much about Palin as it is about hilarious. This is two conservative commentators on MSNBC, after they're off the air, saying what they really think about the veep choice. Pure gold!
