It’s better than “Dickless Cheney.”

This week, the false left-wing Internet rumors about Sarah Palin — about how her youngest son is actually her daughter’s baby, about how she was an Alaska secessionist — were as unworthy of the attention of the mainstream media as any claims that Barack Obama was born in Kenya.

Oh really? Methinks the National Review may be in for a surprise, or a disappointment. We may not have seen the last of Hillary Clinton.

It was an impossible act for John McCain to follow — and indeed, conservatives at the convention were dissatisfied with his performance.

He's not a great speaker, but when he has something to say it resonates. So its more important to speak an important message imperfectly than to speak brilliantly but have in the end nothing to say.

When McCain is delivering pro-forma remarks, checking off the check boxes, he'll put you to sleep. But when he speaks from the heart he connects and people hear him. Thats how you overcome your limitations as a speaker; speak from the heart and have something important to say. He did a good job last night. He'll be fine.

I feel bad that Oprah is sidelining Governor Palin from a mainstream women's audience.

Dems: Keep on calling her ‘Caribou Barbie’....I’m sure that’ll work out for you.

LOL. Idiots.

Western Barbie...

I'd buy my daughter a “Caribou Barbie,” and all the snowmobile accessories.

'Caribou Barbie' is actually extremely clever ... and I think we should adopt it ASAP. Nothing like adopting something intended as a perjorative to really gall the other side.

Of course, that would make Todd Palin something like 'Caribou Ken,' but the size of his family can be used as proof that, unlike the Mattel version, he is not androgynous.

I think Sarah will show up on another venue that has a large women’s audience.
Not all of my gender listen to Oprah with any regularity.
Too much “feel good” stuff and too much obvious favoriteism.

Since Dr Phil is a supporter, maybe a 2 day show with Sarah will be in the works???? Alot of Dr Phil’s staff is female, and most of his audience is also female. Also Rachel Ray???

Anyone out there who can make that happen???

Unfortunately we will never see an accomplished Barbie such as this....it would insult the insensibilities of the faux women’s rights groups.

"... A radio interview with Palin surfaced in which she discussed a petty, last-minute attempt by Lyda Green — the Republican state Senate leader and Palin’s political enemy — to change the time of this year’s state of the state address. The schedule had been set well in advance, but Green cited a transparently bogus scheduling conflict in an attempt to force the speech to a time that would have prevented Palin from attending her son’s graduation. In that context, Palin let loose a small giggle when the radio host called Green a “bitch.”

I spoke with three Alaskans about these issues at the convention on Wednesday. One was Randy Ruedrich, the man Palin had removed from the Alaskan Oil and Gas Conservation Commission for unethical behavior and whom she has tried repeatedly to remove as state party chairman. One of his companions, a young woman, piped up immediately: “Well, Lyda Green is a bitch.”

I don't know what the hell goes on up there with the Republican party in Alaska, but whatever it is, it needs to friggin' stop pronto.

Someone at the national RNC level in the Republican party needs to make it very clear that if their little Alaskan purse fight screws this election up for the GOP, they'll all be walking guard duty around a Sarah Palin poster outside Ice Station Zebra at the top of the gol'damned Artic Circle in the dead of winter FOR-EV-ERRRRrrr.

Get that?! FOR-EV-ERRRRrrr.

Yes, I agree. Many women are just too busy to watch Oprah, and since we love men, keep ourselves looking nice, have children, work outside the home, and have REAL LIVES — it is irrelevant to us whether Oprah even has a show.

Sarah Palin will do better on Jay Leno and in a few appearances that do not pander to whining, pathetic women-as-victims.

[AZLiberty]

For all that, the worst piece of legitimate dirt on Palin appears to be that she might have intervened improperly to fire a law officer who had used a taser on his ten-year-old stepson.

Sounds like the kind of woman I'd like to have in charge of people like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
