I'm sorry, McCain and Palin are both getting their just deserts. McCain for being ultra lazy and arrogant in his thinking that her being as dumb as a post wouldn't matter. She suffers from BLIND ambition, when you will do or say anything to further yourself, you should be prepared to take whatever comes your way.
I don't feel sorry for her! She threw her daughter and grandchild to the wolves for her ambition. Shame on this reckless, proud to be ignorant, un-Christian, race-baiting, media/attention whore! While she's standing up in front of her single-digit IQ having fans and feeding them racist lies about Sen. Obama, she should feel a little shame and sorrow for herself for sinking so low. If something were to happen to him, his wife or God forbid one of his children, what was this animal killing shrew going to say,"oopsie"! Ugh, she needs to go back to her glacier where she belongs.
the rats are leaving the ship and eating each other before they jump.
It's just waayyy too embarassing. This woman is an idiot, a moron of the first order and should not be allowed near sharp objects much less the oval office. Please let her go back to Alaska pretending that she did something and let her keep up the charade of being Mommy to her Grandchild. Please just make her go A-WAY!
To all those defending her, that fact that you refuse to acknowledge how stupid/incompetent she actually is, is the reason this country has been dragged down by a similar moron who now sits in the oval office.
Your President should not be your contemporary, he should be a few steps above and at least 50 IQ digits ahead of you!
I'm an African-American( I really hate that term) who thought this was hilarious! Lighten up girlsix! Incidentally, it's not Boo-yea, it's Boo-YAH!!! Hopefully, I'll be screaming this at the top of my college educated lungs sometime tonight........................................
Amen and Amen.
Let's remember to support him when he tries to do what's to do what's right instead of what makes us instantaneously happy. It took 8 LONG years to get us into this mess, it will take some time and HARD decisions to get us out.
responsibility for our own failings/mistakes. Did she come looking for them, no, they came looking for her. When you appeal to the lunatic fringe ( on any side) instead of telling them to sit the **** down in a corner and shut the **** up, you will get lunatics! Why did they think they could control a not-that-bright, borderline-nut-job, diva?? While she is responsbible for the hubris that allowed her to think her folksy charm ( You betcha! wink! me gagging)was enough for her to get by, they in the end are the fools that picked her without really vetting her. Sorry, their fault!
it's not my taste, it's hers. Not many women can carry that off and I think she did. She's not an old woman, she's a young, vibrant, working women in the age of business casual, she doesn't have to wear the boring suit and the sensible shoes, she has the height and the figure to be outside our boring comfort box. I'm looking forward to what I hope will be a FIERCE ensemble for her husband's swearing in and a drop dead gorgeous, elegant gown for the balls.
Let Michelle be Michelle.
How sexist and sill are you to think that's the only reason a woman could dislike another. I'm pretty good looking myself, no fear there. I dislike her because she's a nitwit, plain and simple. She's not stupid, but she chooses to be ignorant, she knew deep inside that tin can she calls a brain that she was not up to the task ahead. Does she buckle down and study, does she try to catch up? NOOOOOOO!!!! She thinks that uttering stupid phrases (you betcha) and winking like a 15yr old drunk is enought for her to get by. I dislike her because she made the rest of us look bad. There were SERIOUS Republican women they could have chosen, but they chose to got with "pretty paper" empty package, because they assumed we'd all be too stupid to expect her to actually KNOW anything. You should be insulted by that.
I love it, a perfect choice to get things DONE!!!A take no prisoners, kick-ass and take names Chief of Staff. This is going to be good, and I'm glad that President Obama ( I LOVE saying that) is choosing carefully and wisely.
when a woman chooses to behave like she's an idiot, gets all diva and demanding, uses her looks to get folks to look at her because she's got nothing else to offer, then when she gets called on it, has the nerve to WHINE that everyone is picking on me because I'm a poor defenseless woman!!! You know what, she stepped into the ring with the big dogs, she needs to pull up her big girl drawers and take the hits like the big dogs. Stop defending her for being a using, dim-witted, conniving little tool!
This is not choosing up sides for softball of who gets to plan the Senior Prom. We are in TROUBLE people!! I agree with the person who said : Find the smartest peopel and fix the problems. Really who give a rats ass about making everyone happy when we're on the edge of disaster. Pull your heads out of your butts, those of you who are whining ALREADY!!!
