Due to Nojo’s invitation on the Talibunny titty post, the Stinque Department of Lady-Bits presents our Jon Hamm drink of cool water for the afternoon.

Bonus: A little something-something for TommCatt after the jump.

Are they live or augmented? Wingnut blogger TigerHawk summarizes:

Sarah Palin’s breasts are suddenly the objects of great interest on the left, not because of their obvious appeal, but as an opportunity to accuse her of having enhanced them with implants. This controversy follows an earlier obsession with Sarah Palin’s medical care, the election-year spat over whether she is indeed the mother of her son Trig or (alternatively) was reckless in flying back to Alaska to give birth to him.

While we can’t deny that lefty blogs are, um, milking the story for all it’s worth, for the record it appears to have originated at the Boston Fox affiliate:

The former Alaska governor was spotted at the Belmont Stakes in New York last weekend looking bustier than usual, prompting many to wonder if she’s gotten a boob job.

Palin’s newfound perkiness even bumped “Heidi Montag” and “implants” off the most Googled list.

Profile whores Kitty Harris and Michele Bachmann were unavailable for comment.

The truth may be out there about South Carolina Mystery Candidate Alvin Greene, but darn if anyone can find it. Jim Clyburn, who singlehandedly keeps SC from being a total loss to the Republic, has called for an investigation into whether Greene’s a plant, and an SC pol has helpfully explained what went wrong:

State Sen. Robert Ford, D-Charleston, who lost his gubernatorial bid Tuesday, said race could have played a role. The Democratic primary electorate is majority black, as is Greene, but not [Senate primary opponent] Rawl. “Vic Rawl had money, but he didn’t have enough. He wasn’t able to identify himself with black voters,” Ford said. “No white folks have an ‘e’ on the end of Green. The blacks after they left the plantation couldn’t spell, and they threw an ‘e’ on the end.”

Er, sorry. We’re supposed to say something clever here, but our jaw just rolled under the table.

We could care less what the Queen thinks about our English, but it’s good to know we’re mostly off the hook.

And speaking of Gray Ladies, the NYT “standards editor” would like you to know that “tweeting” is verboten:

“‘I think the people responsible in the oil spill — BP and the federal government — should take full responsibility for what’s happening there,’ Boehner said at his weekly press conference this morning.” Meaning: We pay for it, too. [TPM]

We keep imagining the great mistakes of South Carolina and Arizona in some kind of competition for the America’s Cup of Douchebaggery — just as one takes a commanding lead, the other comes from behind — but we’re beginning to wonder whether they’re really tag-teaming us.

We’re trying to figure out a way back to London so as to embark on a tour of the great houses.  That includes Hardwick Hall – Elizabeth Cavendish (aka Bess of Hardwick) outlived four husbands (and Elizabeth I by 5 years), then built her masterpiece. She was the Frank Lloyd Wright of her day (look at all the damn glass … in 1582!):
