/look forward to the day I get to watch people like Campbell Brown being frog marched. It's be just like the scene in V where the smartass TV producer meets Mr. Trucheon and his friend Mr. Hood.
//you will have earned it.


maybe by that time we will also have a few Vs we may need to return the country to the people.

What...the hell?

Where did I ever say that? I'd be the first to agree with you.

I went too far ans assumed that you meant Sarah Palin was being disrespected soley because she's a woman and I thought I'd point out how its done on the other side.

/my bad


Yeah cause the last 50 years of elected politicians has done us such a great job.

Fark...i want a political Noob in office. All these professional, life time politicians have done nothing for this country but hurt it.

Id take a common smart person with little to no political experience.

Dealing with foreign nations is not rocket science. In fact America needs to be a lot tougher on the rest of the world.

But no you damn pansies will want a kinder gentler way....Farking socialists...your gonna ruin this country. Capitalism FTW. And a strong hand upside the rest of the worlds head!

I guess she's not as "independent" as you, since you're someone who hates all political parties, and since you are a rugged individualist who is most certainly not a Bush-fellating Republican, CNN is now a bastion of far-left bias.

Barbecue Bob: //As a diplomat, Palin is a joke compared to Biden.

You wrote all that stuff to prove what point?

//
My point is that Palin is meeting a couple of leaders and the media make it out to be this big deal. They won't STFU about it in fact.

You said yourself "There is more to being a great leader than having met a bunch of people." So why make Palin's recent meetings an important media topic?

She's seemingly so politically enept we are not allowed to hear about what she has said to any of her recent meets with foreign leaders. That to me is a big deal.

Her meetings are only a big deal because she's never met a single foreign leading soul before. That is my biggest point.

You should not become VP of the United States of America just because you live next to Russia.

Biden has represented the United States and met with Kings and Queens, the Pope and the Dahli Lama, so many many others.

Palin was squeezing out crotchfruit, ruining a small towns economy and banning books.

Palin is a giant media attention whore for the GOP and it's amazing to me that many here are not wise enough to understand or admit it.

/Might as well make Paris Hilton VP. She's about as qualified.

Gription: Maybe they shouldn't sign the check. Problem solved.

No. They should sign the check if it is necessary, but should grow a pair and put some teeth in it.

here are my ideas:

1) If you sell your sour mortgages to the fed, every nickel of profit your company makes will used to buy them back over time. This is a loan. you must repay it.

2) Receive a portion of the company stock in proportion to the debt they buy. Start by yanking stock options.

3) CEO pay will be reduced to the same salary as a US congressmen. Since the congress is essentially keeping the company solvent, which is the job of the CEO, he should not be paid one cent more.

4) Create a compensation commission made up of members of congress to approve or veto any raise or bonus to any employee of the company selling their debt.

5) The congress will have seat on the board of directors in proportion to the amount of debt we buy from them.

Basically, the companies are not solvent, so the American people have to step in and make them solvent. They have shown they will blow their own money, what will they do with ours?

So, since they need the American people to save them from their own mismanagement, the American people should have a say in said management until it becomes solvent again.

You do realize that no matter who wins the election, the same corporate oligarchy will remain in power. The government and business have become so intertwined there is no way to separate them now. They will continue to distract you from your best interests by using the political party system, bad television, lowered educational standards, etc. and will continue to amass their wealth and power. Just look at any typical Fark political thread. Blind party loyalty distracts us from uniting as a country and fixing the real problems that need to be addressed. Meh.

sloppy shoes: Atillathepun: I think CB doesn't really think it's sexism either. What I do think is that she wants to get her hooks into Palin and knows the McCain campaign CANNOT allow a sexism meme to get started. CB is essentially calling their bluff.

I agree with that.

But it's sexist of CB or the Huffington Post to say it's insulting to women- they are implying that Palin represents women. She doesn't. Any non-conformist, non-idiot male or female will tell you that she doesn't. If (and hopefully when) Palin fails, it won't be because she's a female- it's cause she's not ready for the job, especially compared to all the other people in the ring. I would love to see a female Prez, and I'm getting excited about finally having a minority one, (I think it will do wonders for the lingering racial tension if he does well), but I also don't want to see an idiot female in their either. Partially because people will fallaciously assume it was cause she was a woman, and mostly because I don't want to see another idiot in office.

It's certainly not the end of the world that CB said this, but I wish the issue was taken with more seriousness than it is.


And I'm sure that when Obama fails to get the Pres, it won't be because of race. :)

As far as Palin, she's not as inept and unaware as some believe. The media is hounding her in the worst way cause of her vying for VP, and it is taking some steam from Obama's status. It's still not sexism, it's the media simply doing BAU (Business as Usual).

Nice reader post.

I support that Biden would be a great diplomat. He would make a crappy POTUS. You wrote all that stuff to prove what point?

There is more to being a great leader than having met a bunch of people.

Seriously, do you really Biden could even manage a Dairy Queen? He is farking clueless. He is full of steam though. We could tap him as an energy supply.

Why doesn't Campbell Brown ask about Obama's ties to Tony Rezko, or his dismal mismanagement of the ludicrous Chicago Annenberg Challenge, and his ties to Weather Underground chumps? Why doesn't Campbell Brown mention that Obama and Biden voted for the "Bridge to Nowhere" twice? Why doesn't Campbell Brown ask about the "Senator from MBNA" ("Credit Card Joe") and his pushing of the sh*tty bankruptcy bill that gave credit card companies the freedom to screw consumers? Why doesn't Campbell Brown mention Joe Biden's own "Bridge From Nowhere to Nowhere" in Delaware, and his son's lobbying for bills up for Daddy's consideration, and the millions and millions wasted by Joe Biden earmarks on make-work, stupid projects in his home state?

The press should give McCain what he wants. A complete and total blackout in coverage. The only way that McCain/Palin appears in print or on TV is through paid advertisement. Now try to get their message out. McCain and the RNC should be reminded that they need the press just as much as the press needs them. The past seven years, the press has been threatened with a loss of access if they get too pushy, or ask too many uncomfortable questions. But access is a two way street when the administration (or a candidate) is trying to gain support for a pet policy. Shut 'em down. If they want to promote a message, they can buy the time/space, just like any other advertiser.

How do you think it works now? Do you honestly think reporters are scouring the bowels of government looking for stories?

The "media" has earned the door it finds slammed in their face. It's a just reward for thirty years of their inaccuracy and bias pre-internet.

The "media" has become just another PR tool for business and government. The Tail wags the Dog.

The "media" was unwilling to add DETAIL to their reporting and and they were unwilling to broaden the categories of stories fit to investigate.

People wanted more and the Media gave them less.

Jeeze, give up Palin brown nosers...

Even trolls do not have any ammo with her.

As some wise whoever (G. Stein) once said "There is no there there."

Some have said because she has almost zero experience that she is better than those who have been around to fark it all up(Like McCain?)
However, she not only has potential to fark up way more by being in over her head, she'll also have no idea how to unfark it.

Just 'cuz she wants to change shiit does not mean she has any idea how to change shiit. Or any idea what needs changing. Or who to talk to about it.

She probably can't even pronounce half the names of the foreign learder Biden has met, or point out the countries they're from on the map.
