Original article: Poor Sarah Palin

wtf?

Did that ad actually show a plane.... then wolves.... then a photo of Obama seeming to howl? Was I the only one expecting Sarah to lean out of the plane and take them out?

As a man who has too often been compared to a wolf (or other canine) I am outraged. OUTRAGED! These sexist ads have got to stop!

Practice makes perfect (recitation of talking points)

Does anyone know if the McCain campaign saw the questions before the interview? It seems very hard to believe that Palin pulled that Lincoln reference out of thin air. Rove probably wrote that line.

Original article: Cranky vs. cool

@ CronenBurgerMeister

Yeah.. my wife and I noticed that too. Someone was too busy looking over his list of talking points to listen to what was being said. Also of note - the McSame campaign was launching videos of Obama saying thought "McCain is right" minutes after the debate ended. This seems to explain why he never admitted to agreeing with Obama's positions, even as he simply paraphrased Obama's answers as his own.

Wisconsintration camp

That just makes me sad. Thanks for the reminder of why I moved out of that city when I was 19. Any remaining guilt for moving to Minneapolis (and 300 miles from my family) so long ago just vanished. How my "big L" Liberal mother stays there is a mystery. (although Door County is nice)

Original article: "McCain-Palin Tradition"

phoning it in

I listened to 5 seconds of it. At least some studio musicians got paid to wank off. This is as much of a pure career move as McPain's "suspended campaign".

"Hate" rhymes with "eight" just dandy.

Would you like to buy a clue?

"What do you mean what do I read in Alaska. I read the same things that you guys read in New York and there in L. A. and in Washington State."

'cause, you know, that's were the capital is over there. This woman has no clue what she is talking about. We have postponed our move to Australia for another four years. :)

Please put us out of our misery

It's been a frustrating experience for us Minnesotans, but watching Coleman undo decades of resume building is not without it's entertainment value. The hypocrisy of this man and the entire GOP is amazing!

@What the???

Thanks for posting that link. This guy is simply a narcissist who is prostituting regular folk who would like to see abortion outlawed for his own gain. He is a sad, strange little man, and I pity him.

Vanilla Ice

Seriously Joan? Is Newsweek (a rag that no literate person has read in over a decade) going to do a serious critique on the merits of Palin as politician without having a little fun? She's controlling the conversation quite well, and NW just followed suit with a photo that sums her up quite well.

Sarah Palin is the new Vanilla Ice. Expect a comeback tour in 15-20 years.

Wednesday, November 18, 2009 04:19 PM

And another thing Joan

So if Newsweek had instead run an article on the "Hottest Female Politicians of 2009" and used that photo you would have stayed silent?
