How you've deduced beauty = liability by someone suggesting people follow proper decorum is beyond me.
A hypothetical: Say I bumped in to you and Mrs WD at a restaurant and while coyly smiling I said to your wife, "I've fantasized about meeting you!" Chances would be pretty damn good you would sock me in the eye. And deservedly so.

But just for your benefit, Martha MacCallum has looked resplendent these last two days. And Thomas Jefferson, THE Founding Father, was a very bad public speaker. If one wasn't fortunate to be seated near him his words were barely, if at all, audible.

"She deserves you all watching her back -- and I do not mean it literally."

he he. "I hate to see you go, but I love to watch you walk away..." Isn't that a country song?

I can’t remember any pics of her rear-end. Does she have a nice caboose?

Chris is an AHOLE
____________________

Chris is a journalist. Journalists ask the hard questions. He could have been far worse, asking intrusive questions that had no bearing on Sarah’s past or future, with the purpose of being “snarky” or damaging her in some way — but to me it doesn’t seem he did. Of course, my perception could be different from others. If so, my apologies. I’ll go back and watch it again. My point is, if we expect journalists to lob us softballs like so many do for Liberals, we’re dreaming; and in a nation that should pride itself on the Bill of Rights, we should not expect the media — ANY media — to give ANY politician a pass on the “hard questions.”

You never answered who "all" is. Is it a made up southern man thing? Or did it mean something in the real world?

btw, I know when to relax, and when not to. It's a positive trait in a woman AND in a man on either side of the Mason/Dixon line..... :)

Thompson is right. These kind of remarks feed into the image of Palin as a bimbo and an air head. These kind of “jokes” just chip away at Palin’s image.

You see, that's what makes me break out in uproarious laughter, wardaddy.

You just make things up and then say I'm playing "dumb" when I don't know what you're talking about.

Frankly, I do remotely remember that a few weird freepers thought I ran in some "pack" but it was so preposterous that I put it out of my mind.

I repeat for the record (and not for the imaginative.......or is that dishonest?...... guys like wardaddy)......

I functioned completely independently from Day One on FR. I was not part of any so-called "harpy" group (though the misogyny in that term is quite remarkable). I have always gone where I wanted to and never at the beck and call of any other freeper. Any accusation to the contrary is absurd beyond description.

Now you need to stop making things up, wardaddy. If you don't, I will conclude that, far from being a benign southern gentleman, you are a bald faced liar.

An apology for your gross error, misjudgement and implied accusation will go a long way toward making things right.....

I offered my opinion, it`s an opinion I have held for a long time, not just after last Sunday. That`s the great thing about opinions, everybody has one.

But if you want to talk just about Sarah Palin only? Bill O also did a snarky interview with Sarah.

First thing I would do is cut Wallace loose if I was ever in charge at Fox.

He is not even a good reporter IMHO, just the Rush stuff alone, he was dishonest in his coverage of what Rush actually said about the R word.

Sorry, I have no use for him. Also I am not sure why we have to have a Democrat hosting on Fox News Sunday, He is no Tony Snow or Brit Hume, that is for sure. Bill Sammon would be a great host.

I know that Jeri isn’t Southern born and raised, but she well could have been.

She represents us very well.

LOL! Is that an apology for your "error," wardaddy?

Unless you say otherwise, I'll take that as an "I'm sorry I made such a stupid mistake and publicly besmirched the good name of a nice conservative Yankee lady by propagating false rumors and innuendo based on, well........false rumors and innuendo."

OK with you? :)

Why is everyone blasting Wallace and not Imus who started the remarks? Just because Imus is known to be a pig is no reason to let him off the hool.

I decided to try to be nice to you but being a stereotypical haughty Yankee harridan from a state that can't hold their own together but who loves to look down on the rest of us you just can't do that can you...magnanimity when offered submission is just not in your DNS is it?

So I am revoking it and we can remain foes as it should be.

I was there during the amnesty battles here over immigration and got a sabbatical for my efforts.

I remember you quite well along with many other who fled over Rudy.

Maybe you didn't run off or maybe you posted as an anti-freeper under another nick like plenty of others did who have now slunk back....who knows...Ivan's little experiment crashed and burned given all those giant egos...good lord they even banned him.

If you don't like me having a memory that's tuff hon....btw plenty of others here pay attention and not just me

since I know you can't help yourself ..flame away..and you will get last word.

Wow. You're sensitive for a sexist name-caller. I was kidding around in response to your adorable kitty photo, but I see you're dead serious about your false accusations, so I shall simply reply with the truth, and you may do with it what you will.

If you choose to remain foes, it will be because you choose not to see the truth, but to revel in your vague and faulty memories.

I think it's hilarious that you think I "fled over Rudy." I never in a million years would have supported Rudy. I am staunchly pro-life and a strong social conservative, and Rudy, as admirable as he was as mayor of NYC, would never have been my choice for President.

Wrong on accusation one.

The place where I posted was not "anti-freeper," and I left for one reason, and one reason alone. The attacks on my son's Commander in Chief here, while we were at war became vile and ugly, and things were permitted that were against the FR rules. I oppose profanity, name-calling and lies, so I took a break.

Wrong on accusation two.

I didn't 'slink back'. Someone posted an article I had written as anonymous and someone else let me know about it, so I had some freeper friends notify the mods that I wanted to post (I had been banned because JimRob understandably thought I had opused, though I had not). I came back with Jim's blessing, started posting, and have been back almost a year.

Wrong on accusation three.

There was wierdness that went on with a few people at that site (some of those Rudy people were just plain nuts!), but they left, and all was well until it crashed. There were the same kind of discussions we have here, but without the vile, crudeness that is permitted here. I liked it, and nary a word against FR was allowed.

Wrong on accusation four.

Your memory is entirely faulty. Your presumptions are entirely wrong and based on fabricated evidence, and there is no reason in all the world you and I should be enemies.

But that is clearly the way YOU want it to be. I am here to work with fellow conservatives to rid the nation of the festering wound of Marxism in Washington.

If you prefer to call me the enemy because of your errant "memories" and my refusal to tolerate them, so be it. If defending the truth against being called a "harpy" is being "haughty" to you, so be it.

You want me to flame you, wardaddy? OK. I will. I thought you were more of a man than this. But you're not. You're a coward who can't handle disagreement.

I really did think better of you, wardaddy. I knew you were a sexist and a bit rude, but I didn't think you were afraid of a little honest confrontation.

This post of yours has just proven me very wrong.

If you got to the end of this post, you know the truth. What you do with that truth is up to you.

Coming back this morning to say I'm sorry for calling you a coward, and saying you aren't a man. No excuses. Just an apology.

I just want to repeat that I'm really disappointed that you prefer to consider me an enemy, and that you prefer to believe what is patently false.

If you think I'm "haughty" for defending myself against some bizarre accusation complete with name-calling, I can't do much about that. But you do your share of haughty, wardaddy, so where I may be guilty of condescension, you are not innocent of the same offense.

I really, really hope you think about this more, understand that what you think occurred in the past did not, in fact, occur, and realize that we are on the same side, fighting the same battle for this great nation that we both love.

Once again, I apologize for where I stepped over the line. Be well, wardaddy.

Let's fight the bad guys together, OK? Not as enemies, but as partners.

One last post, and then I will leave you alone.......

If we meet on another thread, I will treat you as an ally, and not as a "foe."

Because that is what we are. Allies. Not foes.
