Maybe ABC is trying to goad her into running....if she does I’m gonna help her kick some you know what.

This is so obvious that a person of intelligence like yourself risks a loss of credibility for posturing as if you do not see the difference.

But just in case you truly do not, allow me to explain. The use of a first name is most often a token of felt closeness, of familial affection, of camaraderie. When a person who genuinely likes and respects Sarah uses her first name, there is no cognitive dissonance. The usage “feels” right, because it matches the cultural template for an expression of affinity.

Whereas when someone like McGuinniss uses the familiar names of the family to whom he is a predator, there is no affection, no sense of family, no personal affinity, only predation. The usage is as jarring as if a rough-looking total stranger driving an old van approached your young daughter at the play ground and called her by her first name. What does your cultural template tell you about that? Creepy? At a minimum.

BTTT - absolutely excellent.

Aside from the fact that when she introduces herself, she calls herself Sarah to us.

Sheeesh.

Another clue to McGinniss’ mental health is how mad he gets when telling Savannah Smiles about Todd
Palin “tromping” through the yard to tell him to behave himself and stop peeping on the Palin’s minor children.

I have a friend who works at bookstore who is allowed to borrow books for free, and she’s going to lend me McGinniss’ book for a few days so that I can read it, do a write-up on every accusation he makes in it, and then return it. This way, people can know what lies McGinniss has told without them ever having to read this tripe for themselves. It will be worth staying up all night reading this garbage myself so that other people don’t have to, and so they don’t send any royalties McGinniss’ way from buying his work for use as anything other than toilet paper.

Appreciate you taking one for the team, Kevin...

Two quick points...

1. This book will not have the authors desired impact, and
2. Anyone who entertains this cretin on their network virtually guarantees they (if not their network) will not have access to Governor Palin any time soon (regardless of the outcome of her upcoming decision).

Amish don’t speak like that. Wrong “hood”!

[onyx]

Yer right.
Your question remains without an answer.

[RedMDer]

Thanks!

BTTT !

I find myself asking variations of that question regarding most of his major policy decisions or statements.

No, it wasn’t Meredith Viera. It was the new one. Savannah Guthrie? All these NBC types look alike. Just like all the dames on Fox look alike.

[miss marmelstein]

Hi, Sam. Geoff is not here tonight but I am!

[Sarah Barracuda]

OOPS..I didnt read the part where it said “Succeeding” Meredith Vierra..I missed that part

[samantha]

Awesome!!

[EnquiringMind]

Savannah is even worse than the former host Vierra. Savannah is the former MSNBC White House reporter (and ya know what that means....)
