Ohmigod. You've been following the Republican social dramz, right? No? Okay, quick recap: Last night the National Republican Senatorial Committee and the National Republican Congressional Committee held their joint prom in Washington, DC, and first Sarah Palin was supposed to attend and then she wasn't and then she was and then she wasn't and then she was like, fine, I don't want to go anyway, and the rest of the GOP was like, well, I hear she stuffs her bra.

In the end everything worked out just great! Sarah showed up with her date Dude, and they slow-danced a little too close for chaperone Newt Gingrich's taste but then everybody laughed it off over by the punch bowl. And this morning, all the kids at the school papers are saying stuff like how Sarah "stole the show" and was "a star" and "the center of attention," oh boy, let's find out what else she did, maybe she took off her shoes and danced on a table while shooting wolves or something…

Palin did not speak at the event, but during a break in the program for dinner, Republicans clustered around the former vice presidential nominee’s table near the front of the ballroom, eager to meet the governor and pose for pictures.

It was the only table in the vast ballroom that had a crowd gathered around it — and despite their distance from Palin’s table, multiple television cameras kept their lenses trained on the governor for much of the evening.

Hmm, so, basically she just sat there and let a bunch of drooly Republicans project their weird political fantasies on the blank canvas of her brain. What can you do? It's her #1 talent, along with abstinence education.

Also the Republicans raised $14.45 million at their prom, so they should have a really fun class trip to Disneyworld in 2010.
