That's a man, baby!

Jamie Lee Curtis on Sarah Palin: I couldn't hold my own for one minute in a debate on any issue with someone like a Barack Obama or Joseph Biden and neither can Sarah Palin. When the call comes at 3AM I want a mind who was at the top of their class, who has gravitas and a real intellect. I want a leader who is a scholar who can hold the history of civilization in his head and will read and learn from the past as he charts the future. Real debates, where issues are explored, are the only way, prior to an election, to get the two candidates and their running mates to share their ideas and plans for the myriad contingencies they will/might face. This isn't a test. We don't get a re-do. This is the hardest time this generation has ever faced and people are all scared about the economy, our health care and mostly our children's futures. That is what millions of Americans and I can relate to.
Palin will chew up Biden in the debate and spit him out and everyone knows it. Be of good cheer.
The only thing Curtis is good for was her stripping scene in True Lies. :)
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, please don’t say it is so. I like her body..err movies. Dang it, another Hollywood moron I am not going to watch anymore!
This is the hardest time this generation has ever faced and people are all scared about the economy, our health care and mostly our children’s futures.
She’s still a butterface.
Thank you for adopting those babies.
But she wants someone who was at the top their class, well as we know thats not Barry or Joe.
If Jamie Lee Curtis can’t “hold her own” against a debate against Obama/Biden then she is even dumber than I thought.
You couldn’t hold your own in a debate with Hussein because he wouldn’t debate you...unless he had you list all your points in advance, and was given sufficient time to have his speechwriters program the teleprompter with his answers to splice in between your half of the “debate”.
Otherwise he’d end up resorting to his usual stuttering, um-uh-um-ing self. Biden would just go on one of his rants where he accidentally says what he’s really thinking and alienates half his audience.
Celebrities (whether Jamie Lee Curtis or Barry “What’s my line?” Obama) are paid to entertain, yet for some reason they continue to think themselves qualified to run the lives of all those stubborn nobodies trying to live productively.
That's a man, baby!
Jamie Lee, please explain to me why an experienced executive (decades of company, city, state agency and governor of our largest state) couldn’t go up against a neophyte and/or a crusty long tenured senator/lawyer. Neither lawyer has EVER tried a case, as far as I know. One was editor of his law review, yet NEVER authored an article.
Would it be because she’s a conservative, fecund, Bible-believing, pro-life Christian female? She has far more executive experience than Hillary Clinton, Joseph Biden and Barack Obama COMBINED!!
“And regular, I want someone who is regular to be answering that phone” she did not continue to say.
I guess affirmative action makes Barack Hussein Obama qualified in her eyes..
Forget all about the baby stuff. I’d bet my money on Sarah Palin winning the debate with Joe Biden. McCain would make mince meat of Barack Hussein (a/k/a the sleeper) Obama in any forum. At 3 AM, I’d want someone with a basic grasp of reality, not someone who has to check history books and read through Homer in the original before he knows what to do. Take a look at Lin Yutang’s Between Tears and Laughter regarding having a grasp of first principles, as opposed to mere knowledge of the intricacies of international affairs.
BTW, didn’t Barack just steal a line from Rush Limbaugh (”Words Mean Things”)? What a “scholar”.
Too much yogurt does that to a person.
I'd add "Trading Places" too, for the fans - that is, if you're a fan of watching someone who who looks like a guy with enhanced, silicone breats. Jamie Lee has more male hormones racing around that bod than most NFL players. Big-time YUCK!!
How can I possibly take a woman seriously who goes on national tv and does commercials about being constipated while eating this yogurt that will finally give her the trots?
Ms. Lee Curtis.. Have another spoonful of your trot maker and give us a call when you finally let go of some of that built up fecal matter inside of ya.
Jamie Lee Curtis, great knockers, no brains.
I always kinda like Jamie Lee Curtis, but seriously, she is projecting her desires upon Obambi and Plugs. How can a man who never published a single article when he was Harvard Law Review president and a lecturer at the U. of Chicago, and becomes a stumble-mouth gaffe-machine when he goes off script be considered a real intellect?
As for ol’ Joe, how can a 35-year Senator who has never been trusted with a leadership role by his own party be considered an example of “gravitas”?
This race is between Obama and McCain, one of them will be the next POTUS so try writing about them and not Palin.....go away airhead.
That sure isn't Biden, who has lied about his class standing in law school and had to repeat a year of undergrad because he was caught plagiarizing.
And it probably isn't Obama....whose grades at Columbia are, for some unfathomable reason, sealed.
Yes, the history scholar Obama wants to protect all 57 states!
Yikes! She said “gravitas” while referring to Obambi!
Are you acting in a movie today, dear? No? Then shut the f**k up.
just another set of boobs who thinks her opinion is means something...
Well, Jamie Lee is probably right about the first half of the statement. And if she is, she would not be in a position to judge on a debate by people who are all much smarter than her.
The Dow’s floor is at where the ceiling used to be. Unemployment has reached 6% for the first time in DECADES, fuel is expensive, but houses are getting cheaper. Let’s all go to Californee. I hear they pay five cents a bushel to corn pickers thar.
I agree with everything you say, but Jamie Lee Curtis? I liked her! UGH. (she is off my to do list)/sarc
Now, she goes on my too stupid to endure watching list. It has grown much longer than my love to see them list.
Oh well! Luckily I have FR, my books and art to see me through.
vaudine
Sarah Palin has more executive, foreign policy, and commander in chief experience than either Obama or Biden.
Joe Biden is urinating himself like a shivering Chihuahua at the mere thought of debating Sarah Palin.
I had a non-speaking role in a movie, once, and appeared as an extra a couple of times. Can I have an opinion, too?
I have always liked Jamie Lee Curtis in films but I don’t think men should make sexist comments against female candidates.
You clearly never saw “True Lies”.
All doubt removed there....
Preach it :)
OK Peggybac, you changed my mind, she is really off my “to do list” thanks for the pic. I have to go to bed with that visual in my head. UGH
I don't see any Hollywood first-run movies any more. If I like what I read about them, I either rent or buy a DVD. I've saved a lot of money and what remains of my sanity. :)
In the spirit of accepting rumour as fact it's always been said that she's somewhat hermaphroditic.
A genuine hermaphrodite is as rare as a unicorn scientifically.
He stole “Yes We Can” from Bob the Builder, a kiddy show. I sure am scared to debate HIM.
vaudine
lol...you bad.
These people are silly to underestimate Sarah.
I hope they keep it up!
And about this whole debate thing. Biden has already lost before it’s even began. I saw Palin in action at two of her debates in Alaska. She already has Biden by the family jewels. He will not be able to get away with snide remarks and he knows it. He will be forced to answers all questions directly. Sarah is completely in charge during her debates in stature and word. She is never caught off guard. Is very prepared and will directly challenge any host that tries to go off topic. She has a way of controling every thing from beginning to end and she does not flinch. Biden will be stepping into a “familiar” arena with a very unfamiliar foe and he will not know how to deal with her. On the other hand she knows all about him and exactly how to map out her entire approach. Sarah also comes to the table with something else going for her. She realizes as a woman she will be scrutinized completely different. She won’t be giving 100 percent she will be giving 500 percent to prove an even deeper point. Something Biden simply will not understand. It all equates to him just sitting there thinking.. when the hell is this going to be over with? Let the talking heads get me out of this one.
Ms. Lee Curtis sadly falls into the category of over deifying two men who are walking jokes. One old school senator with enough scandal and lies for a great nasty novel and another who is a complete empty suit. And if she doesn’t think she can hold her own against a man who does nothing but uh.... oh... uh... over and over then she needs to give Gov. Sarah Palin a call and take a quick course in Sarah 101 on how to grow a spine.
