    Does Sarah Palin have ‘Linsanity’? You betcha!

    Barack Obama isn't the only political figure caught up in the hoops-hoopla surrounding Jeremy Lin. In an appearance on Fox Business, former Alaskan governor Sarah Palin admitted she's in love with the new New York Knicks point guard--just like the rest of the country.

    "I am, I am," the 2008 vice presidential candidate-cum-Fox News contributor said on Thursday. "Talk about an All-American story: the underdog works who so hard, erased all the stuff out on the periphery in his life that didn't matter. Humble. And look at where he is, man--putting his talent to good use."

    Palin, who was once a sportscaster in her home state, even showed off her own "Linsanity" t-shirt. "I am obsessed with basketball anyway," she said.

    Alaska, of course, doesn't have a professional basketball team. No matter.

    "All of the sudden our team is the Knicks," Palin said. "Linsanity, man!"

    Palinsanity.

      Bandwagoner. I've been a Knicks fan since 1970, aside from that year and 1973, it's been mostly a painful experience.

        First she takes a square of TP and cuts a small hole in the center saving the small piece. She then puts her finger through the center of the hole. The small piece that was saved is to clean out your fingernails.
