I think Sarah knows what she is good at, and she is doing it. She has made a difference in smaller races around the country and she is in AZ doing just that. Good for her. She, also, promotes herself into a career. Good for her, it’s the American way. President? No way, she had her shot and failed.

Anthony Weiner is an overweening twit.

A weenie tweety or a tweety weenie. Works either way.

It came out of Boston, apparently. It’s campy. It’s so gay it’s wrapped around the other side and ceased being gay.

i think she knows what’s shes good at also. but her acolytes on FR will never stop being breathless at the thought of her as president. i know i am merciless when it comes to palin, but it’s truly those same acolytes which have made me feel this way about her. it’s a cult of personality every bit as as pronounced as those for obamabots for obama. they lose all perspective when it comes to the reality of her limitations.

Rush would be a great surprise speaker. And I’m going to take up for Taylor, who was raised right and is a good kid who just happens to be an emotional girl who falls hard when she falls for someone. It’s not the first time. She dresses modestly and does a lot of charity work under the radar. Overall, she’s a good role model for young girls unlike the others out there in the limelight.

He's tanned, rested, and ready.

Actually the ultimate surprise speaker is Obama's brother: George Obama.

Overweening is like overpreening, only wussier.

i know all of that about her and have liked her, but this is beyond the pale because it’s all so public. xshub has always adored her but he’s beyond disgusted with her antics with the kennedy TODDLER!
Jpod suggested surprise speaker might be nancy reagan?

I hope not. Newt would be a good choice too. He undressed Hissy Matthews the other night.

What was with the mother of the bride asking her to leave twice? And the wedding was Kyle Kennedy’s? The mother of the bride’s surname is Kennedy? Is this another Roy Orbison sort of setup? Did I misread?

The Kennedy family culture involves undesirable behaviors (for the males, at least) which tend to undermine relationships. This too shall pass.

Kathie Lee Gifford, who is the stepmother of Victoria Gifford Kennedy who is the mother of the bride, Kyle Kennedy. soooo...Kyle is the bride, Victoria Gifford Kennedy is the mother of the bride and Kathie Lee Gifford is the grandmother of the bride.

I can’t keep my own family’s marriages and remarriages straight. How do you do that?

A few short years ago, the state of New York had a governor who was overweening.

i just googled it. you were probably thinking, like me, that KYLE is a boy’s name, but guess it’s unisex.

Even talking about a storm
Obama is obviously preening-
The biggest giveway yet that
His conceit is overweening

Just like when the Seal team
Sent Bin Laden off to hell
Obama blabbed for the cameras
That it was his deal as well

No matter what the occasion-
Whether it is pleasant or grim
That narcissist wants the credit-
It just has to be all about him
