Sigh...

I'm so tired of hearing about Palin when there is a real presidential campaign going on involving a guy named McCain, of whom we rarely hear anymore.

Can we save Palin posts for when there really is some news about her? Please??? I'll give you a cookie!

John McCain is running for president. Obama doesn't need anyone else to get people excited to vote for him.

No more daily dose of shit.

Its time to quit Palin bashing. Don't get me wrong. There's plenty to bash. But she's not the candidate. John McCain is the candidate. "Palin quickies" distracts us from the real task: beat McCain. There are plenty of "McCain quickies" to publicize. How about getting busy publishing them? In the end, the votes will to to either Obama or McCain, not the VP candidates. Get after McCain and forget the valley girl veep candidate.

and I'm sick of it, too, but the news about the Anchorage demonstration is relevant.

So, Palin is calling Fey a witch, right?

Because

1. We haven't yet excavated all the dirt in her record
2. The public needs to get sick of her

So far, Sarah Palin has been a ray of sunshine to the stumbling McCain campaign. By keeping the spotlight on her, just to find out things the public actually needs to know, she'll eventually be transformed into a painful sunburn. (sorry)

There's no compelling need to dig deeply into her dysfunctional family dynamics, although I see the National Enquirer has an article about her druggie son and why he "chose" Iraq. Just get at the facts of her government service, from village councilman to Mayor of Alaska - sorry, that's "Governor" of Alaska.

If you're already tired of Palin, you may not be listening closely enough.

Is there any evidence that Palin wanted to go on Oprah? Because I can't imagine her going on a talk show where she would likely be asked questions about her pregnant teenage daughter, or other personal questons. I don't watch Oprah much, but it seems to me that someone who doesn't want to talk about her family, and with good reason, would stay off Oprah.

Are you harding of hearing my darling?

Why would I want another "Palin quikie"

I don't wanna get fucked...

Cos I'm no masochistic sickie.

My wife and I went to the Anchorage Anti-Palin rally, and we were shocked to see that so many people turned out in protest. It was unprecedented for Anchorage. The local right-wing talk radio wannabe ideologue had tried to whip up counter-protesters, but there were 10-1 antipalin-to-palin despite (perhaps partially due to?) his efforts. Police were there, but fortunately everyone was cordial, even though there were pockets of pro-Palin people mixed within the much more numerous anti-Palin folks. Even the presence of the radio talking head didn't stir any real trouble (he did earn some nasty glares, however). Good times were had by all. We really loved the creative signs - check the WPo link in the post for some examples.

Misery is abroad in the land and Obama is like a flower in the desert blossoming because of all the tears being shed. Without catastrophe his candidacy would die. He seems to relish the fact that financial disaster is everywhere. Neither Palin nor

Obama should be in the Oval office, the tiny tots have taken over the Democratic and Republican Parties.

Obama appeared on Oprah's show in January 2005 and October 2006. Both appearances were before he announced began his campaign for the presidency (he was at the time a U.S. Senator from IL where, as it happens, Oprah's show is based). Oprah did do a couple of big fundraisers for him after he announced for the presidency and she did endorse him but she didn't interview him. As far as I can find (in a cursory search), Oprah never interviewed McCain or Biden or Hillary. But this group of boycotters thinks that Oprah should interview Palin and not McCain, or Biden, or Obama. How can they justify Palin being entitled to an interview when the other three candidates aren't? Is it because she has a . . . lipstick?

Radio talk show host Ed Schultz did an event Sat. 9/13 in Anchorage in which he discussed the Gov. with a large gathering of ordinary citizens; the program was taped and broadcast on Air America outlets today. Pretty impressive stuff!

...is what the racist Palin calls Eskimos.

Eh, I don't buy it. Anyway she probably thinks Halloween is one of those evil holidays that Christians shouldn't celebrate.

give people a clue

from Pink and Lindsay Lohan...

geez.

"I feel your palin."

If some 16% of voters still think Obama is a Muslim, perhaps a well conducted survey would reveal a surprising number of people thinking Palin is the Presidential Candidate and McCain VP. That might explain it!

@ Brightstar -- great phrase! I hope it shows up in SNL and Oprah.

... have stated categorically that there have never been any discussions of having Palin on her show, and Palin never asked to be on it. This is one of those whipped-up-out-of-thin-air "controversies" to give Repub women an excuse to scream shrilly. Ignore them.

it's Republican - both men and women!

It's Oprah's show and she can have whoever the hell she wants on her show. And if the two-faced hags for Palin want to make a big deal, they can take their oil money and spend it someplace else.

Abuse of power? Aw, c'mon. That's what George W. Bush and Dick Cheney eat for breakfast every day for the last 8 years.

Shut up, go back home, and bake us a cake.

but can't help remembering that if elected she'll be second in command to an old, sick man. America does need to keep hearing what a horror she would be if she ascends to the Presidency.

Keep piling it on. Maybe it will shame her supporters into thinking with their brains instead of... whatever they're currently thinking with.
