Nothing that happens anymore shocks me!

[MrDanger]

Oh my goodness. I didn't know the evil liberals were out to get me too because I had my identity stolen.

[DeWayneTN]

It weren't liberals, MrDanger, it was ME! I've always wanted to be MrDanger. I even went out and bought me a pair of hot pink shorts.

[MacUser]

Yes.

Enter a Strong Woman on a National Presidential Ticket other than Democrat DOES exactly = equal = Media target for destruction and SOS signals all fringe operations to seek and destroy, just like Clarence Thomas.

Except this has the potential to be much more vicious.

Hold on. The accusation is that during the 80s I allegedly owned a pair of hot pink PANTS not SHORTS. So, at least get your false accusations correct. Thank you and good day.

Are you planning on wearing those on your honeymoon???

[DeWayneTN]

I would probably get locked out of the room.

She's the pick, so I'm through poo-poohing the choice.

As a voter for McCain, I'm gonna vote for her, obviously, with my reservations about the choice intact.

What's going on in the media is off the chain, as the kids say. I'm just completely laughing out loud at the attacks by the media. It is insanely funny. They sit there and make these observations, ask these questions, launch attacks with a straight face.

Two words: Bill Clinton. Every time they bring up these matters, he's the guy sitting in the background with his arms folded, shadow largely looming over them, as fitting every derisive description of Palin. Part of me thinks Clinton orchestrated this whole thing ---- but I'm not that cynical or paranoid just yet.

Inexperienced governor of a small state: Bill Clinton (according to Ross Perot, remember the Wal-Mart analogy?) (Note: I know Alaska is practically as big as the western part of the lower 48, but population wise, small.)

Sex scandals galore: Bill Clinton

Troopergate: the original movie, Bill Clinton, writer, producer, director and star

Nubile young thangs with their pants down: Bill Clinton

Sarah Palin's speech tonight should be "I'm rubber, you're glue."


I'll be honest, this whole frenetic, frantic panic mode by the Democrats is a mystery to me. The best way for them to react to this is simply to fold their hands and act like it isn't happening or to simply be dismissive as if "who cares?". Sarah Palin is the nominee? That's nice. See you at the debates, ma'am. Oh, you're the governor of the largest state? Great. You're courting the moose vote, then. Daughter's pregnant? That's great, but how will you help unwed teen mothers in the inner city? Oh, sorry, you don't HAVE an inner city in Juneau, do you? (The merit of that point is beside the point; rhetorically, it would work.) NRA member? Wonderful. Hillary voters note -- she shoots first and asks questions later.

Instead, this reaction she's getting is nuttier than the pick itself. They're making her into more than she would be but for their visceral, demonstrable hatred of her as a conservative. Their best advice right now would be that if you can't say something nice, shut up. Address her on the positions she takes, the associations she has and belittle the merit of her experience later.
