I agree that she is not ready to assume leadership of the free world, but do NOT make her a martyr through our sniping.
She's an anti-abortion creationist who hates gays. The Evangelicals and single issue voters love her.
She knows jack shit about politics and the world - Like Dubya, like McCain. The blue collar anti-intellectual crowd loves her.
She's a hockey mom. The ignorant housewife vote loves her.
She's all for drilling in ANWAR, her husband worked for BP. Big Oil loves her.
She's attractive. Shallow neanderthals like rich fratboys and Rush Limbaugh love her.
What is there for Republicans to be unhappy with?
Diamond studs perhaps.
McCain tells Brian Williams Palin's got more experience than Obama and she's the best person to take over the White House . . . and McCain cited her PTA experience.
Now that we know McCain has lost his marbles . . .
Hey, I was a PTA secretary for a year, who knew?
Back around the end of July and early August, a nut from Focus on the Family released a video calling for people to pray for rain of biblical proportions to disrupt Barack Obama's acceptance speech at the DNC.
I don't know, but isn't it ironic that Hurricane Gustav is pummeling towards the Gulf Coast just when the RNC is about to begin?
She is so Sally Fields wanna-be!
It's too bad shes completely inept and has no business on the ticket.. but she will fit right in with the other inept Republicans I guess.
So really what the hell are you trying to say. I do admire you for being functionally impaired. And still trying to appear smart.
This place is great on political policy and gay rights issues, to do a post like this feels disrespectful frankly. We don't usually mock McCain's ties or his ill fitting suits, so why this? It reminds me of Junior High School.
Shessh Prezzildent, I think these types of comments about Palin's earrings stink, especially in lieu of the voluminous amount of actual issues that we can hold up to scrutinize Palin. It's her policies that we should be debating not whether you like her fashion style!
The more we demean Palin with stupid little bits like this, the smaller WE appear.
and there's nothing "odd" about that...
If the shoe or earring were on the other protuberance I doubt their jest would be as light-hearted and gay in-joke-y.
I also really doubt any of our mischief could appear as small as the 20+ year history of people who advocated placing HIV survivors in isolation camps in the 80s and torture in the 00s.
Also commenting a day after a thread dies reminds me of another more infamous Ablog commentor from the preDisqus days...
Your tactic of chastising me for posting what you consider to be as "late" seems to be uncalled for and a bit more than bullying. I have been posting on this blog for 3 years now, so if you are trying to make assertions that I am new here, those claims are more than false.
Enough already, I will post when and where I see appropriate.
Don't go there. She will implode on her own without our discussing her fashion sense. We're smarter than they are. But if you want to see something that points out to how stupid she is, read Tomasky

Those earrings can be used as a flotation device. She could conceivably rescue people with those.
Her motto: Be prepared.
The more important question is "Why is she there?" She has absolutely no governmental function that requires her disruptive presence. It is merely a chance to exploit tragedy for a campaign photo op.
Now -- I called the number to ask
a) How on earth did you get my phone number
b) Take me off your list IMMEDIATELY.
How did that happen?
(I am actually serious)
Thank yo u! Thank you! Thank you! I thought the VERY thing when I saw that! How juvenile! And you know, her voice is SOOOOOOO high school cheerleaderish that it makes my ears hurt! And John McCain wants me, a 52 year old independent woman, to give him a "second look"???!!!! Yeah, right.
But you know he likes his women "ready to please". It's not much different than Cindy showing up in red leather for his primary win, which some of the stock photos show. And evangelicals like this stuff?
I for one am not that stupid. I hope other women like me are not taken in by McCain's "Hefnerism".
It's like McCain's campaign is running off the script for some kind of Legally Blonde 3 sequal.
She's making a statement girls. She might be leaderesque and all but gosh darn it she's still has a right to look as foolishly ladylike as the early 80's fashion catalogs she's seen back home in the outhouse.
One on each side of her head - like 'floaties'!

Or is it just that she does not look like a bull dyke and they can not handle seeing a good looking woman in politics? The Democrats are freaking out! How funny!
Heck, most women that I know put on earrings to do almost anything; it's like putting on lipstick or blush in the morning. If you're dissing her choice in earrings, then I would ask why?
Frankly John, this feels kinda "off" to me both in sentiment and in the intent to instigate a pile on. There are PLENTY of things to criticize about Sarah Palin, such as her POLICIES, ACTIONS, MEMBERSHIPS and BELIEFS, but this kind of snarky post is merely tacky, disrespectful (to women) and is most definitely beneath you.
Come on John, you do great posts when attacking policy; that is where we all should be focusing, not on her fashion sense or lack thereof.
Hopefully I never have to put myself in this situation, BUT if so I would quickly put on a pair of casual earrings, brush my hair & teeth, put on some light makeup and out the door...nothing odd or time consuming with that IMO.
