John McCain thinks of his former running mate's possible plans for 2012.

@Betty...the moon is not swiss cheese......honest.
It is hard to believe there are people who would follow Manson. But, then, it is hard to believe people follow certain politicians, leaders or cult figures that stand outside the main stream of society.
Excellent job,that's way I follow your program.Keep up the good work.
So creepy the Manson story.
Good night everyone! I hope you all get "lucky" on this Friday the 13th!
@Emily...no way on the Palin book. I'm sure we'll all hear plenty about it soon enough. I prefer non-fiction.
Emily – I guess so.
Please don't tell me the moon is not swiss cheese. It really is Friday the 13th!
re: Moon...Ice, Ice baby.
Sounds like Manson is a brilliant guy, using his powers in a bad way. Charisma, leadership, speaking in riddles....
@ Jennifer – Michigan,
I suspect that those that are "following" Manson are also a little Mentally disturbed!
Manson's riddles do not deserve thought, and his name and pictures do not deserve attention.
@Anderson, I think Manson sees his life in prison as an entire career and a validated life–the attention, influence, his messages, etc., etc.
Call it what you may, but everyone should respect life.
Anderson, The reason Manson is sought after is because he is a celebrity. Celebrities, no matter how useless or disgusting will always attract someone.
if i'd like a beautifying tips or picking up parenting skills, i'd read it from good parenting or RS...not from Palin's book.
It is said there is a fine line between genius and insanity. Mason has been blurring that line for 30+ years.
manson is crazy...but most dangerous people are...
It is facinating that people actually follow him. He is mentally disturbed.
Thanks Randi Kaye! Charles Manson is nuts! Simply amazing that anyone could be so disconnected. So fasinating how people from similar backgrounds can be so different. Some nurture the good and others the bad. Always feed the good~
Old crazy guy. 🙂 Well put. Made me chuckle it did.
Sorry... correction:
It's amazing!! The look has not changed!
@JoAnn...I agree and I think that young woman is a little bit of a "nut job."
Why does anyone follow any of those maniac's?
Whether it be Manson, or the cult leaders, etc.
I hope someone is keeping an eye on that girl, "Star". If she is following him, mayb she will kill to make him happy or proud. Scary thought.
Sarah Palin needs to understand that "winners never quit and quitters never win". She turned her back on the people that had trust in her to help the state of Alaska. She had plenty of time to step forward to try and run for the job of president. Would she turn her back of the American people, I would say yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Every U.S. news source is covering Sarah Palin right now trying to give insight into her future plans. It seems to me that, first she is trying to sell a book. And the future? Just like reading between the lines of any buisness news source. Follow the money! Her background and recient endevours suggest that she is trying to be the next Rush Limbaugh.
I can't think of anyone during my lifetime that has made me more uncomfortable and makes me squirm, like Charles Manson. The fact that he now looks almost "normal," including his eyes, is even creepier. I really would like to know what is going on in Manson's head.
