she and cheney would get along famously.

Yeah, no kidding.

Interviews show that Ms. Palin runs an administration that puts a premium on loyalty and secrecy.

I've changed my mind.

It seems Ms. Palin is eminently qualified to replace Dick Cheney.

I hate her so much I only want to have sex for her like 4 times.

Don't they know this is just more red meat for the Republicans?

Now the NYTimes is picking on Palin too! That's how McCain's going to spin it. When are Obama and the media going to realize the Republicans don't care about facts, they just care about winning?

The really scary thing is, the conservatives will eat all this up. They'll love her even more.

Methinks the Palin hangover has begun.

drhansenej: The really scary thing is, the conservatives will eat all this up. They'll love her even more.

This sort of thing happened during the Clinton adminstration(s) too but it was relatively low key and nowhere NEAR as organized. I swear - it's like the Republicans looked at everything Clinton did and said 'y'know, I liked his style but he didn't go far enough...so lets go overboard!'

So, Palin is indeed Bush?



As if the Republicans will care. They'd still vote for her in a heartbeat. And with McCain's health the way it is, a heartbeat is all it will take to make her president.

This election is making me jaded. Should I be worried about that?

Let me guess at least one of the responses to this article.

Blah blah blah lazy journalists, blah blah blah MSM sucks.

And yet none of you ever does anything about it besides biatch. You never write these journalists, you continue to give their article ridiculous amounts of clicks, you never boycott those things you all "hate." What's wrong with you guys? GET ANGRY!

/mad as hell and not taking it anymore
//someday WE'LL replace those biased bastards.
///There are thousands of Murrows and Woodward's waiting in the wings.

The new mayor also tended carefully to her evangelical base. She appointed a pastor to the town planning board. And she began to eye the library. For years, social conservatives had pressed the library director to remove books they considered immoral.

"People would bring books back censored," recalled former Mayor John Stein, Ms. Palin's predecessor. "Pages would get marked up or torn out."

Witnesses and contemporary news accounts say Ms. Palin asked the librarian about removing books from the shelves. The McCain-Palin presidential campaign says Ms. Palin never advocated censorship.

But in 1995, Ms. Palin, then a city councilwoman, told colleagues that she had noticed the book "Daddy's Roommate" on the shelves and that it did not belong there, according to Ms. Chase and Mr. Stein. Ms. Chase read the book, which helps children understand homosexuality, and said it was inoffensive; she suggested that Ms. Palin read it.

"Sarah said she didn't need to read that stuff," Ms. Chase said. "It was disturbing that someone would be willing to remove a book from the library and she didn't even read it."

"I'm still proud of Sarah," she added, "but she scares the bejeebers out of me."

Wow, sounds like a real winner.

sivmac239: Methinks the Palin hangover has begun.

Seconded.

The rope-a-dope is still working. Give it time. McCain cannot keep her the main story for 50 more days, and that's what he needs to do to win.

Dickless Cheney
Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse than the last eight years

a small-minded person who populates her administration with cronies and grade-school friends, fires those who dare to criticize her and uses the power of her office to pursue personal vendettas. In other words, someone in the habit of abusing official power who should not be let within a mile of being president.

mekki: And with McCain's health the way it is, a heartbeat is all it will take to make her president.

I felt the same way about Hillary - if Obama had picked the witch queen as his running mate, I'd have expected her to bump off Obama and grab control.

Great vetting, POW.

FTFA: So when there was a vacancy at the top of the State Division of Agriculture, she appointed a high school classmate, Franci Havemeister, to the $95,000-a-year directorship. A former real estate agent, Ms. Havemeister cited her childhood love of cows as one of her qualifications for running the roughly $2 million agency.

True or not, that's comedy.

disgusting little cow
isn't she?

wowee

Cronyism and personal vendettas.

Yeah, that's nothing at all like the last 8 years.

Weaver95:

If you don't think Obama is man enough to take on Hillary, why are you voting for him for President?

Her love of cows?!?. WTF goes on in Alaska. Someone please pbotoshop the state of alaska with a cigarette and caption, Alaska, WTF is this state's problem?

Thanks

Y'know, my LEAST favorite thing in the world is to get stuck behind a livestock truck in august while PennDot fumbles around the highway, putting in a few new craters and generally backing up traffic for hours at a time.

After years of this sort of activity, I now have a somewhat less than favorable opinion of bovines in general.

Dickless Cheney!!! I LOL'ed big time. That's exactly what I thought after reading the article. This woman ran her administration just like Bush/Cheney. I was deja vu all over again.

We all know she had to have sucked majorly like Dick to get the job, this just proves it.

She got the job due to her ability to maintain status quo and play GOP politics. Loyalty before country or law, no acceptations.

really....where have I ever said I was going to vote for Obama?

pfft. two dimensional thinking.

sivmac239: Her love of cows?!?. WTF goes on in Alaska.

You big-city, queer-loving, cosmopolyhomos don't get small-town values.

I hate.

So much.

The things.

She chooses to be.

Copied over from non-green thread:

So, pick a side I guess. Palin the narrative, the small-town beauty queen with the gun-slinger's intuition and a rock upon which Alaska was so recently built, or Palin the Bush-bot, the vindictive, Bible-thumping, smooth-talking good ol' girl who scares the bejeezus out of anyone that thinks Katherine Harris should never have gotten her office. There isn't another way to paint the women, so the freepers would have us believe.

Or maybe, she's like my mother. Earnest and ambitious, she really wants to help do what she thinks is right, but her views are influenced by her religion and a seeming overwhelming sense of vindictiveness towards opponents. My mom is a good person, and many people love her... but they don't cross her, because she holds what she holds very dear, and defends it viciously when questioned. She loves her family, she goes to church and believes in God and the dogmas that go along with it. She can't comprehend the world's complexity; she cannot even keep up with the plot of a well-scripted movie, let alone the effect of someone making a decision in the seat of the President of the U.S.A. I think Palin is exactly like my mom... and while I don't think there is anything wrong with that on a human level, I can't in good faith vote for her (either one) for President.

/So... apparently, I'm sexist.

Palin sounds like Hillary and Pelosi. Why are women vindictive in office.

Indeed. It was called Travelgate. I thought Clinton was in the wrong then. I think Palin is in the wrong now.

It reminds me of another person's qualifications...

Childhood love of cows = agricultural genious
Living in a state close to Russia = foreign relations genious

What's the next thing she's going to be accused of?

I think sex with high school boys is about the only thing left.

NYTimes huh? That newspaper (term used loosely) is sinking fast and is resorting to anything to keep it's readership up. Consider the source.... NYTimes is widely known to have an editorial policy with a strong liberal bias against McCain. When did the NY Times do any digging into Obama's past?

atlanta_ufo: Palin sounds like Hillary and Pelosi. Why are women vindictive in office.

The most vindictive boss I ever had was a woman. she carried grudges to an unbelievable degree too. My last week of working for her (I was a medical insurance claims adjuster) I paid out EVERY claim that came across my desk. No questions asked. I paid them all.

Then I quit.

former coworkers tell me that her screams went on for MONTHS.

The sad thing is, people will excuse this behavior. They'll say that her blatant corruption is admirable, because she's "just like one of us," and everyone wishes they could put their friends in positions of authority.

The more I read about Sarah Palin, the more I understand why she was put on the ticket. She's certainly a politician, but she's a ruthless and unethical one.

drhansenej: The really scary thing is, the conservatives will eat all this up. They'll love her even more.

They were going to vote for her anyway.

This isn't the primaries, anymore.

Dick Cheney with PMS.

Xerxes99: NYTimes huh? That newspaper (term used loosely) is sinking fast and is resorting to anything to keep it's readership up.

Therefore, obviously the story is false because it's in the NY Times. When other papers report it, conservatives can just say "it's a NY Times story, therefore, it's false!"

I wish I was conservative, so that I could pretend that anything the government says cannot be questioned but that the press is always wrong.

I had a conversation with my mom today, and she couldn't believe that I, at 23, have become jaded to politics.
