Palin gets hearts beating on both sides (BARF alert)
Chicago Sun-Times ^ | 9-1-08 | RICHARD ROEPER

Posted on 09/01/2008 4:59:29 PM PDT by Impy

'We're the ones with the babe on the ticket." -- Rush Limbaugh, crowing about the Republican ticket.

Rush was talking about Sarah Palin, right? But hey, maybe he's got a man-crush on McCain.

As Limbaugh and others drool over Palin's Suzanne Pleshette-circa-1975 attractiveness, the governor of Alaska has become an overnight celebrity.

Of course, such fame is relative. As of Sunday, if you googled "Sarah Palin," you got 453,000 hits. If you googled "Kim Kardashian," you got more than 7.8 million hits. God Bless America.

But over the last few days, a lot of us were learning all about the formerly obscure "Sarah Barracuda."

On first glance, some of the details from Palin's biography make her sound more like a Hollywood star than a GOP poster figure.

Roeper is a tool. He can't review movies either. The crack about Pleshette is meant as an insult. But I saw the early seasons of the Bob Newheart Show on Tvland, I thought she looked good.

"The GOP countered by claiming Palin has more experience than Obama, which is more of a stretch than Hawk Harrelson is hoping for when a Carlos Quentin fly ball barely reaches the warning track."

Worst Passage as it is patently obviously she is more qualified than Obama, the least qualfied person nominated by either party since William Jennings Bryan.

Let us cheer on the liberal leftist media — let them continue to document their complicity, their extreme political bias, their total disregard for people or the truth, their criminal attempts to hurt REAL Americans and pander to America’s Fifth Column....yep, just let them keep it up.

McCain has all the ammo his campaign needs to turn all this around on Obama, the DNC and all of America’s other internal enemies.

I’ve heard Roeper drool over some actresses, could be a smokescreen though.

So by election time, Obama gets the gay vote (2%), the black vote (10%), and the hard-core Dem vote (20%).

McCain/Palin ticket gets stuck with a measley 68% of the popular vote, and only 535 electoral votes. Darn!

Richard Roeper.

In other and more-telling respects, Palin sounds like Ted Nugent with a uterus. She's a "hockey mom" and a crack shot, she ice-fishes, and her manly-man husband is a four-time Iron Dog snowmobile race champion.

Ahhhh...now we're getting somewhere. Somebody is jealous that somebody else is married to a manly-man.

Don't give up hope, Richard. There's a manly man out there for you, too.

Is Palin the most qualified Republican VP candidate in all the land? Of course not. Then again, was Dan Quayle the best choice for vice president in 1988?

Wrong question, here. And, BTW, Dan Quayle actually had a lot of experience.) The real question is not whether Quayle was the best VP choice two decades ago, but whether the Obambi is the best PRESIDENTIAL choice today. And that's a question this guy doesn't want asked.

Wow. How long did it take you to type in "Kim Kardashian" in the google search box 7.8 million times, Richard?

No matter. That's not what it means when someone says, "I hit that."

Except in your dreams. And that's none of our business. Please. Seriously.

the fact that so many freepers have no idea who Kim Kardashian is just underscores why Republicans are getting creamed in the youth vote.

She’s the daughter of Robert Kardashian, OJ’s lawyer. She made a s*x tape that made her famous. She and her sisters have a reality show now and she’s dating Saints tailback Reggie Bush.

I don't see how. Pleshette was pretty attractive back then. And Palin does sort of look like her.

And that is it in a nutshell-We have Sarah Palin and they have Hillary. We have Katherine Harris and they have Cindy Sheehan. We have Rush Limbaugh and they have Al Franken. We have Bo Derek and they have Susan Sarandon. We have Belly Girl and they have Code Pink creature, Medea Benjamin. We have........

“I have no idea who Kim Kardashian is.”

Wow, where have you been? Kim Kardashian is the daughter of one of O.J. Simpson’s attorneys and has tried to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. She’s sort of a Paris Hilton wannabe (which is like saying a poor man’s Ford Pinto).

Her mother, Kris, divorced Robert Kardashian in 1989, and married former Olympian Bruce Jenner in 1991. The whole family have a E! channel TV show called Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

It's hard to imagine Palin keeping up with Joe Biden in a debate on foreign policy.

I love the way these folks are under-estimating Palin. They will rue the day, especially when the debate is about energy independence. I bet Palin knows a lot more than Biden about the world's top energy producing nations, especially Russia.

Hell, I think she looks more akin to gun-totin’ Angelina Jolie than Suzanne Pleshette, both in terms of appearance as well as self-confidence.
