Thanks for putting up the thread, Alas!

Let's just hope I behave myself.

[Alas Babylon!]

A couple of great resources for those countering the smearing of Gov Palin!

Fight The Smears About Sarah Palin

Palin Rumors

[Cedric]

Would you put Palin on the Sunday shows?

[nhwingut]

The media says she doesnt have time for veep and motherhood...

So now she can say, “Sorry guys, no time for you scum.”

[igoramus08]

“Would you put Palin on the Sunday shows?”

No. Deliberately put her on a few puff interviews and comedy shows. 0bama will whine, and he will come off as a sook.

[xrmusn]

Agree...at least let her be as ‘selective’ as HRC was (seemingly) allowed to be....

[Cedric]

Obama chief strategist David Axelrod

The newest Zogby poll has McCain up 4%.

Axelrod has some "splainin'" to do.

[rodguy911]

Thanks AB for the thread. Morning all.

(playing the hurricane watch game today and tomorrow)

I wonder if Chris Wallace will ask Axelrod to explain the computer trail that leads back to one of his websites regarding the fiasco of made up BS about Sarah Palin not giving birth to a downs syndrome child?

Think that question will come up? Somehow I doubt it!! Somehow I don't Think Chrissy is any more a Freeper than the other tingly Chrissy is. They are both part of the DBM problem,no wonder Sarah doesn't want any part of them why would she!

Now let's see, if someone(the DBM) had just spread endless rumors about you and your family and every friend you ever had how anxious would you be to do an interview with any of the sorry basturds,not very.!!!

GO SARACUDA KICK ALL THEIR BUTTS !!

[Roccus]

Would you put Palin on the Sunday shows?

(I know you didn't ask me, but after guzzling coffee for the last three hours, I just can't help myself.)

Why would we want her on these shows? She has already stated that any "good opinion" of her by the media is not what she cares about. IMO, to appear on these shows would only give them credibility far beyond what they deserve.

just my .02

[Cedric]

Agreed.

Hopefully, this campaign team will refrain from sticking her head in a meat grinder, rather than doing so, then complaining bitterly about it, after the fact.

So far, so good.

[Cedric]

Due to Pelosi induced inflation, your .02 now is worth $1,000,00.00.

And spot on!

Not sure if it counts as a “Talk Show”, but ABC Good Morning America just had a segment on the rimless glasses Sarah Palin wore at the RNC. Apparently the manufacturer has been getting calls from around the country. Even fashion designers are picking up on it. Show hostesses wore the glasses and put their hair up like Palin. It’s the “new pantsuit”, they said, comparing Palin as the new look versus Hillary as the old and tired look of yesterday.

Typical celebrity culture stuff. But I can’t remember the last time the celebrity was a Republican. Arnold Schwarzenegger actually lost his popularity after getting elected.

[rodguy911]

Thanks AB just made favorites out of both of them.

McCain has made Sarah a sort of energy czar,yesterday we had some good discussions on what is going on in Alaska and just how important Anwar is. Here is a good review of what is going on there by those who know.

What do you think Stephanopoulos should ask Obama?

Send Stephanopoulos your questions. http://abcnews.go.com/ThisWeek/story?id=5718166&page=1

Today’s leading news story: Obama Whines ‘Johny’s copying Meeee!’

[Miss Didi]

Happy Sunday, All! Rick Klein, of ABC News, (whoever he is) was just on Fox with the Friends...Clayton, trying to stir up trouble, asked why Sarah Palin was missing from the lineup???

Klein sarcastically says--we can only guess! She is the most fascinating woman in America right now and she hasn't given a single interview! We don't know how she reacts to probing and prodding--does she know the answer to these questions? We know she is behind closed doors with McCain advisors getting tutelage, getting briefings on what's going on in the world to make sure she's up to task and when she gets that first interview it will be a high-profile pop quiz, can you name this, can you name that. She's home studying like she's going on Jeopardy. The McCain campaign says it's important she's talking to the American people--that's code word for she's not going to be talking to reporters if she can avoid it.

Then his microphone went dead so that was the end of that interview.

[Morgan in Denver]

Morning and thanks.

You can add this site, linked from News Busters, as another source to counter the Sarah Palin rumor mill and smear machine.
