    The Republicans don't mind running a female VP as long as she doesn't sound too confident, imposing, or threatening to men. I am sure Ms Palin, as a devout follower of the word, will know her place.

    I just hope she doesn't shake out her hair and unbutton her blouse at the podium.

    I don't think it is weird at all. They want the women vote and they believe Palin can deliver it. So we get a "tough" guy speech from McCain and a "little woman" speech from Palin. Just perfect if you are a fundie.

    So they're giving the speech a sex change? Kinky.

    "We are in the worst Republican environment since Nixon in 1972," said Davis. "We take that seriously. We get the joke."

    Well, I don't get the joke. Somebody explain the joke to me, please. Is George W. Bush the joke? Or is the Republican Party the joke? Throw me a bone here.

    Repugs understand that KOOLAID is properly served by female staff, especially if they fit a HOOTERS uniform.

    This just proves mccain's own campaign didnt know what was going on with the VP pick. Had palin really been thoroughly vetted you'd think somebody would have known before the pick was announced, but no it was a surprize for everyone. Mccain made Palin his surprize draft pick.

    This doesn't surprise me, most pols have someone writing a good portion of the speech and then edit it to personalize it some more. So I don't have a problem with this. I do have a problem with the absolute hypocrisy of Palin.

    1] Her daughter does not have a CHOICE in keeping the baby, it was mandated.
    2] Palin refused "explicit-sex education" in favor of abstinence-only. Umm, so how come her daughter didn't get this message? So if her daughter didn't get the message "preached" from home, how good is this abstinence-only program? How realistic is its effectiveness? Really, come on.
    3] Since her family is a member of Alaska as an independent country, she really does HATE AMERICA, doesn't she? So how can you have a VP that hates America? If she becomes Prez, do you really want an Anti-American running the country?

    So many questions, so little answers ...

    "RUSH: Ed, you don't get it. John McCain gets it. She is a maverick pick! She is a total maverick pick. We're the ones that have the babe on the ticket, Ed!"

    Limbaugh just proving that Hooters will always have customers ...

    So how do you put tits on a speech???

    "she is adapting the speech to her own needs and personality. hmmmm, so does that mean she'll take the opportunity to continue lying her ass off?

    Seriously, these guys want to cry "sexist", and then they come out with stuff like this??? give me a f'n break! Ms. Palin doesn't have a chance in hell of "wooing" any of Hillary's supporters...

    Original line: "I am willing to stare down Vladimir Putin and go balls to the wall for the US of A."

    Revised for Palin: "I aimed a shotgun at Levi Johnston, so I can do the same to Vladimir Putin. I have killed moose in my home state of Alaska, which is up there next to Russia, so Vladimir knows I mean business."

    Stop the presses! The rhetoric and composition textbooks have been rewritten! And there are some who deny that Repblicans stand for change! This is the biggest change in rhetoric since Aristotle!

    A talking parrot with breast. Just what America and the world needs in these trying times.
    Just remember, As governer she did protect us from invading Russan polarbears last winter. Shot three of them on the Governers Manson in her pajamas. What they were doing in her pajamas she want say.

    You shouldn't take this lightly. All she has to do is repeat a prepared speech tailored for her and the misguided. And this will foolishly help increase the myth. From there, 60+ days of careful press coverage.

    She does have the speaking experience to accomplish this. Conservative Americans need only hear 30 minutes to maintain their vote. Issues and experience aren't the issue for this woman .
