Look out, Dems, we got Tom Hagen

As I was reading this ABC News story about the crowds for John McCain and Sarah Palin, this caught my eye:

Actor Robert Duvall claimed to have known about Palin all along. At the New Mexico event, he was on hand to cheer on the new political couple.

“About a year ago I first saw this wonderful woman speak,” the veteran of “Lonesome Dove” and the “Godfather” movies said. “I didn’t know who it was. And I said who is this woman? And a year later, I said to myself about three or four weeks ago, why isn’t she up for the vice presidency?”

How long before the nut-roots accuse the GOP of associating with the guy who ordered the hit of Senator Pat Geary’s “escort”?
