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.

Wow foe being the party of “diversity” they sure aren’t very tolerant of accents are they? *rolleyes*
Is this all they’ve got? This jackass from New Joisey thinks Gov. Palin has misprounciated some words? They’re misunderestimating her, just as they do all Republicaners. At least we knowify that there are only 50 states.
Yes, attacked in a manner such as Jen-jis Khan.
Yeah so was I :)...I too pronounce it as if it were pundint.
Even when I purposefully say pundit, it comes out pundint.
So I guess I am an airhead too. NOT.
LOL!
There is no "n" in the 2nd syllable? Who knew?
If tells me there is no "r" in the last syllable of 'elementry' I just might go nuclear.
Even though mulshine admits to being conservative, I’m guessing he doesn’t want Sarah to go to ‘Warshington’.
And I regularly make 3 syllables out of A$$!
I agree, for all intensive porpoises... :D
Conclusion: anal retentive to the max.
Crap. I just might go nuclear anyway.
What an arrogant snob he is.
It seems Paul had some sand in his vagina.
My mother, who unfortunately, has gone over to the dark side with a severe case of BDS, was criticizing Sarah Palin today because “she didn’t know what the ‘Bush Doctrine’ was”.
When I tried to explain to her that there are several versions of the Bush Doctrine, she didn’t want to hear it. It would interfere with her opinion of Governor Palin.
This after Michelle Obama’s “cute” remark.
What the left doesn’t seem to understand is that the GOP base would be just as excited about Sarah Palin if she looked like Barbara Mikulski.
It’s a bonus that Sarah is a gorgeous female with a great figure, but it would have been enough that she is smart, articulate, and CONSERVATIVE.
Perzactly
Someone from Jersey mocking anothers pronunciation of English? Coitenly!
Weak.
You discover her talents only when you are sitting across from her at a negotiating table. The deal with the oil companies, the natural gas pipeline deal. She has accomplished things in two short years, that her far more experienced GOP colleagues were apparently stuck in.
Every time someone tries to suggest she is somehow “stupid”, they are just asking for it. You underestimate Gov. Palin at your own risk.
Don't you mean Nuculear?
I told her to go to the hardware store and ask for “soft water salt”
She asked for sot watah sot.
Aw, f**k Ryan out loud - she goddit WRAWNG! She shuddasaid, “SAW ftwawduh sawlt.” How come nobiddy knows how to tawk anymaw?
Almost makes me nostalgic for the city of my birth (NYC).
The more they object to her the more I like her...
