My male friends all seem to have the same assessment of the Republican nominee for the vice presidency of the United States: She's pretty hot.
I guess that depends on what you mean by hot. If GOP leaders had intended to pick on the basis of pulchritude, I would have suggested perhaps a Scarlett Johansson lookalike. Instead they chose a Tina Fey clone. But apparently much of America is willing to vote for her based on her looks. The GOP better hope so. She sure isn't going to win based on her brains.
We got a hint of that during her supposedly brilliant acceptance speech at the GOP convention. In the midst of the predictable diatribe at the media, Palin denounced pundits. That's fine, but she pronounced the word "pundints," adding a nonexistent "n" to the second syllable.
My fellow conservatives made fun of Sean Penn last year when he employed that same mispronunciation as part of a tirade against the Bush administration. And deservedly so. We conservatives are smart. People who can't pronounce simple, two-syllable words aren't.
That goes for simple three-syllable words as well. In a televised interview with Fox News last week, Palin was served a softball question by Sean Hannity about the economy. In her response, she twice attacked the "verbiage" of her opponents. And in both cases, she pronounced it "verbage," leaving out the second syllable. Again this is the sort of thing that, if done by a Sean Penn or some other Hollywood airhead, would be held up as evidence of inferior intelligence. An intelligent person rises above such errors by eighth grade, an average person by the end of high school.

paul mulshine is a hair splitting idiot
My, my, my... don’t they have their undies in an uproar????
; ~ )
hang me.....
irrelephant
ROFLMAO!!!!!!
great, now she’s being attacked by the grammar nazis
Methinks Paul’s been drinking too much moonshine.
The pundint should learn to spell, PUNDIT.
These effeminate, liberal girlymen are getting so catty these days. This stuff is getting just plain silly. Sorry you don't like Sarah, Pauly boy.
This stupid bastard. I am ready to have Sarah as my president right now. She is extraordinary. Put a bag over her head and elect her if you are worried about her looks. She is one of a kind, and I’m completely confident in her. Let’s get on with it.
Is this schmuck a conservative in the David Brooks mold?
Poor news reporter. He probably thinks that Obama “has” visited 47 states.
Hay, loosen up there Pauli. What’s Sarah stealing all you male friends away?
Like President Bush saying NUCULAR.
My Uncle was the Superintendent of schools, and he said it the same way.
Whoever wrote this blog, is just being anal.
Mr. Mulshine appears to be one of those “conservatives” who are p*ssed off that McCain didn’t pick another white guy for his VP.
And as another poster said, he’s from New Jersey, and he’s making fun of the way Gov. Palin talks?
I got a friend from joisey. She had difficulty’s with her water softener.
I told her to go to the hardware store and ask for “soft water salt”
She asked for sot watah sot... the rests was hilarious
I think he was trying to be scartastic. (Intentional)
We from the south mispronounce a whole slew of words...big deal! We eat our PEE CAN pie while those in the north have “peckon” and we hug our “ants” while you hug your “ahnts”. Just because we do it all time and time “agin” does not mean we are stupid. I never did catch on the Bush and nuclear. It sounded fine to me! :-)
The success of Johansson is a complete mystery to me. Yet I find a lot of liberals think she's hot--is she some kind of "thinking man's sex symbol" because she's openly liberal?
