"That's great but Americans are looking for someone to handle Wall Street and Iraq, not Bristol and Track."
That line is great!

Even more to the point, she failed with both Bristol and Track. Then again, you can take that as her real talent lies in dealing with Wall Street, Iraq, Pakistan, Syria, and Russia.

I'm still convinced she named the kids after where they were conceived.
Bristol - at Bristol Bay Trig - In the high school trig classroom (I'm sure it was empty at the time) Track - on the track at the football stadium (may or may not have been empty at the time) Willow - either under a willow tree or while watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer Piper - Any guesses?

I believe Bristol was actually named after the headquarters of ESPN.

Failin/McSHAME are running on her "appeal" and his anti-pork platform. As said in the article, aren't the Repugs the party that is trying to put "Lipstick on Pork", or more technically, "LIPSTCK on A PIG" Platform?
They made the platform, they get to keep it's Name!

I laughed at that as well... a de Rothschild (and "Lady" at that) calling Obama elitist??
LOL!!!

Ouch. I'm glad he's calling out de Rothschild's ridiculous comment. But I'm sure the McCain camp will just dismiss Yepsen as another in their growing, growing list of sexists.

no no... sexist isn't working anymore.
as a reporter, he's just "in the tank"... meaning, part of the Obama camp.
that's their new catchphrase for anyone who asks them actual questions, or reports on their many gaffes... they're in the tank.

Check out Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D) of Ohio telling Hank Paulson and Wall St. where to stuff it . More Democrats like this, please.....
"A British government minister attacked Republican US vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin as "horrendous" at the Labour Party conference on Saturday. The outburst from Communities Secretary Hazel Blears threatens to undermine Prime Minister Gordon Brown's determination for the British government to maintain a neutral position in the US presidential election.
Speaking at a fringe meeting of the centre-left party during its annual party conference in Manchester, Blears said Palin was capitalising on people's disillusionment with regular politics.
"I just think there is so much anti-politics -- not just in this country but around the world," Blears said."
If she's going to handle Wall Street like she handled Bristol then we are well and truly f**ked.

Miss de Rothchild is most likely a person that married into true upper upper. The Upper that is trying to solve the problems we now have. She is most likey an upstart from questionable backround...given her unbelievable switch in politics.
These people often marry into money and gain power...for a time, until they show themselves as having absolutely no class, no belief system, etc.
This women really needs to fade away.

Iwoans are not fooled by Palin. Not one bit. Obama leads by a sizable margin there.

Yepsen's pretty sharp.
And the fact that he writes from outside the beltway makes him even more impressive.
Kind of a political wise man of the plains.

Is being attacked as an elitist by a de Rothschild more like the pot calling the kettle black, or putting lipstick on a pig? Huh? Actually it's neither. Obama's not an elitist, so she's not accusing him of something they have in common. And "lipstick on a pig" doesn't even make sense-- she's making him appear more glamorous than he is? I think Yepson's just trying to look cool by tossing around smart-alecky cliches. Is she throwing Obama under the bus, or being politically correct? Does this remark bring home the bacon or is it merely robust? Was Yepson three sheets to the wind or more confused than a nine-peckered billy goat?

...fighting back:
can someone - hopefully far more talented than me - do a play off the "original mavericks" slogan, maybe for youtube? could have mccain / palin as the "original mavericks", and bush / cheney as the "original pintos". one's just a copy of the other...

Marcy Kaptur is my new favorite congressperson.
The outburst from Communities Secretary Hazel Blears threatens to undermine Prime Minister Gordon Brown's determination for the British government to maintain a neutral position in the US presidential election.
Speaking at a fringe meeting of the centre-left party during its annual party conference in Manchester, Blears said Palin was capitalising on people's disillusionment with regular politics.
