Sarah Palin!

[Kopji]

As I said (somewhere): If she was covering for her daughter, then there may be a backlash of sympathy. It still raises the question of judgment, for Palin for not disclosing this to McCain and expecting it not to come out once the media spotlight comes on and for McCain for inadequately vetting her before picking her.

Oh, I've had several years to vote uselessly against 'McCain the Arizona Senator from Cornville'. He's very comfortable in trusting his own personal perceptions over, well, mere data. As I said, this is his working comfort zone and I will be surprised if he does not come out smelling just fine.
I don't like the guy much but he does have some political skillz.

When I say 'personality issues', he has earned a rep of being a bully. McCain is a little sexist, not badly so, but enough to treat a woman VP with deference. That makes him look more Presidential, so all good from his pov.

On Palin's 'judgment', if this "scandal" turns out to be true, the news conference the Dems would be slavering for would probably feature her attractive but naive 16 year old daughter in tears, confessing that the Downs baby was really hers and that her mother was acting as a loving mom caring for a wayward 16 year old and a child she could not raise. We might even be treated to a short apology about her having previously thought that these were personal matters and the meddling goberment had no right to be prying.

If she would use her daughter in such a despicable way, I would lose all respect for her.

How refreshing. You actually backed up your statement with a quote.* Too bad it directly contradicts what you claim it says.

You're about as fit to pass judgements and reach conclusions as Ms. Palin is to discourse on world affairs and matters of science.

*Care to retract your repeatedly unsupported lie that "Penn and Streisand proclaimed 9/11 to be an inside job?" No? What a surprise.

Bill's words may be to nuanced for you. Ask Sherman for clarification. Hilliary is voting for Barack, Bill is voting for Barack, And the 18 million Hillary supporters are voting for Barack, or so says William.

You are an expert on fits. As for Palin's abilities, your condemnation of the women before she even gets into the mix is predictable. we shall see how Biden stacks up aginst her in the VP debates.

Every video on this site has a 911 Bush/Israel/Media conspriacy theme. I wonder how Sean Penn's "War Made Easy" manged to make the cut? It fits perfectly with the other inane offerings on the site.

Not true. I know of several here.

Mind you I am not saying this is what happened here; but I think it bears some quiet investigation.

Quiet investigation on the Thom Hartmann show, perhaps?



BTW, thanks, Ben, I downloaded the show from your site. How wonderful is that?

Was that on Thom's show? I am too busy producing shows to listen to them!

And feel free!

However, this is not the issue I had in mind earlier, and I am not at all sure I would have gone to the public with it without doing the investigation FIRST. In part because these things are much harder to investigate after they break.

However, people are trying; http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x3889224

But you know what? I am not at all sure this really matters except that it might show her to be a liar, and I am betting we could have found something else to prove that if we tried.

 

[Brainster]

Yeah, I hate listening to them as well, but every now and then, I bite the bullet for the cause:

Hartmann: Kerry, I'm hearing some--now this falls into the category of rumor, Sarah Palin's 17-year-old daughter, Bristol, whom I know nothing about, is pregnant?

Kerrigan: I have heard that as well and I know people who go to her--this is a very small community, when people ask me what Alaska is like I describe as Mayberry where Andy Griffith lived, because Aunt Bea would cook a pie and Barney would smell it and come by for a slice. And that's kind of what we're hearing up here from some of the kids who've gone to school with her at her high school as well, saying the same thing.

Hartmann: So her daughter Bristol, the 17-year-old daughter is single? She's not married?

Kerrigan: That is correct.

Danke!

It could very well serve the same purpose Hillary's teary moment just before the NH primary did.

 

[Tricky]

I hear that her name is actually Svetlina Stalin and that she was raised Communist.

 

[Pookster]

I can't help but wonder if the tables were turned and it was Obama who had picked a liberal version of Palin, what would the McCain supporters be saying?

This doesn't mean Penn is a twoofer, only that his movie is posted there.

That's the problem with these lunatics, they'll take whatever seems to criticize the US, even the legitimate things as their own. They parasite on anti-war rallies where they are not even welcomed.

So much for the pantsuit jokes, a staple of right wing commentators.

How is this the same rumor? Explain, please?

You think Palin looks the same in a pants suit as Hillary? In Hillary's case, it looks like the Taiwanese laborer struggled to find sufficient stretchable material.

Penn is a twoofer just as is Jesse Ventura, Rosie O'Donnell, Charlie Sheen, Michael Moore, James Brolin and wife Streisand, Ed Asner, etc. It isn't an accident he is always mentioned among the Hollywood twoofer set. If he didn't share in the Bush/Israel/Media conspriacy theory (the flick he narrates is big on the media conspiracy), he could easily challenge the use of his name and image in conjunction with 911 "truth" grunions.

That is what makes politics difficult to satirise really well - it self satirises so much.

 

[Pardalis]

I know about the others, except Moore who tries to stay clear of the twoofers and Barbara Streisand: her husband and herself are two different people, if one is a twoofer doesn't mean the other is.

But I've never heard anything about Penn. Do you have a specific quote from him?

 

[ksbluesfan]

But Joe Biden is a Roman Catholic.

I was raised Roman Catholic, My whole family was pro life, creationist and against same sex marriage...

Must be a different Roman Catholic church Biden attends, do you think?

Is Joe Biden pro-life and an advocate of teaching creationism in science class? I don't care what his issues are with his religion. I only care how he votes.

Reaction from her second appearance and mention of Hillary ...

Palin booed for mentioning Hillary Clinton
Posted: 07:35 PM ET

From CNN Political Producer Peter Hamby

WASHINGTON, Pennsylvania (CNN) – This might not be the best way to reach out to those disillusioned Hillary Clinton supporters.

In just her second appearance on the campaign trail with John McCain, newly-minted GOP running mate Sarah Palin was showered with boos on Saturday for attempting to praise Clinton’s trail-blazing bid to become the first female president.

Maybe McCain forgot to tell everyone he was rolling out the welcome mat for Hillary supporters.

*shrugs*

 

[BenBurch]

Neither Biden nor the Roman Catholic Church are Creationists except in the weakest form of that phrase; That the Creator started the universe in a manner such that its laws would put us here to be his people at some time in its evolution. The Church explicitly recognizes evolution.

Excellent point.
