She Played The Flute?!

John McCain has just chosen some chick named Sarah Palin as his running mate. She's the governor of Alaska or something like that. I don't know her deal. I think she's anti-anything fun. But that's not what I want to talk about. I want to talk about her beauty pageant past!

Sarah was Miss Wasilla 1984. She won second place in the Miss Alaska contest, but was voted Miss Congeniality. Miss Congeniality basically means you're homely but you smile a lot. Sarah played the flute during the talent portion. THE FLUTE?! It's Alaska! Shouldn't she have skinned a trout or danced with a grizzly bear? No wonder she lost. I did a quick search on YouTube, but couldn't find shit from the pageant. I'm sure shit will come up in the next few days.

And and I thought Heidi Montag was locked as McCain's VP?

I LOVE SARAH ALREADY--WHAT AN INCREDIBLY STRONG, CAPABLE, SHARP WOMAN AND PLUS SHE IS ATTRACTIVE!!! I AM SO PUMPED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITIES SHE BRINGS TO THE TICKET AND THE STATUS QUO IN WASHINGTON D.C. WE ARE LOOKING AT OUR NEXT PRESIDENT ABSOLULTELY!!! THIS WAS A CHOICE OF CHARACTER AND SUBSTANCE. YEAH!!!

Earlier I watched a portion of her acceptance speech for the run for VP. I have to say she did get my attention when she admitted that it wasn't her "life dream or goal" to be in politics but it simply started out with the PTA and built up from there.

How many times have we wanted someone in office that "understood" what the day to day grind of our lives are, not that manufactured politics of these old rich guys (that were born privileged) that already have money and are looking to protect it. It just seemed refreshing listening to someone like that, not the tailored speeches that seem to be the norm.

Meh, I've had a couple of beers so maybe I'm a little off my rocker right now, but I don't think so...

McCain looks like a damn joke right now! McCain and Palin look like they're running for presidents of a high school class.

One question: Does she look more presidential than Biden? I don't think so. THAT'S DEBORAH HEATON!

McCain still doesn't "get it". People were voting for Hillary and Obama as people, not as tokens. Palin is a token female.

Oh yeah, and last week I had a client who, among other things, had been raped by her brother and had to get a hysterectomy at age 20 because he gave her 2 different STDs that went untreated from AGE SIX to 20... I suppose if he'd impregnated her, she would have been "weak" to abort the baby? May I suggest anyone who thinks so work my job for a week, if you can hack it. There are some truly fucked-up sickos out there and a lot of women (and their fetuses) suffer the consequences of being fathered by a schizo bastard or raped by his offspring.

Not that you shouldn't be allowed to get one for any reason your heart desires. I think too many people are having kids, anyway. Too many kids.

1) Pandering to women - agree.

2) Pro-hunting, anti-choice - still don't understand that dichotomy. About like the anti-welfare, anti-choice -- are they okay with the baby starving once they force you to have it?

Yes! George Bush's only experience was failure -- a failed oil company, a failed baseball team. Now a failed country.

No, Obama was not my first choice. And I am one of those who would rather vote for a third-party candidate. But I will vote for OBAMA, and PROUDLY, because he is a GAZILLION times better than ANY FUCKING REPUBLICAN!

Seriously, people who abstain on principle or because they aren't "in love with" either of the candidates annoy me... because this is a war, dammit, and we need our guy to win! I don't like the idea of getting blown up by the Iranians 2 or 3 years out of law school!

(There was a comment a few pages back about how she couldn't have had "much dirt" because the Republicans are the ones to dig all that shit up... how does that make any sense? The Repubs can put up any dirty candidate they want because they know the Dems will just tiptoe around any "personal issues" and try to focus on the REAL issues... like the ones involving people starving, losing their homes, and being blown up.)

Sorry for the partisan rant, I'm waiting for the hubby to get home and a bit tipsy in the process. As some of you know, I work in the disability division of a legal services corporation in NYC and have seen, firsthand, the effect Bush has had on this nation's economy, particularly the poor people and their children. It is a FUCKING CRIME.

After doing a little research, the new VP choice appears to be a home run. Palin is definitely a woman who kicks ass and takes name, preferably ones with an (R) behind it. Both parties could use a person like that, those who "out" their own for corruption and misuse of office. Good for her.

Finally, someone who actually knows what they're talking about.

Most people are just spewing BS, without knowing anything about her or what she's done. She vetoed a bill that would bar same sex couples from receiving benefits, which effectively granted State of Alaska benefits to same-sex couples.

People are bitching about experience - can you tell me, exactly what experience does Obama have? She's running to Vice President, he's running for President.

If experience was really an issue, Hillary would be the Democratic nominee (which, she should be, but that's another argument) This woman fought against corruption, in her own party! That alone makes her more qualified than most crooks in Washington.

This is going to be my only comment on the issue, because it's really not worth it to argue over something like this, especially on a gossip blog. People have their minds made up and nothing I say will change that. I just think people should know the facts before making some statements.

I don't know what your purpose is here but you are not serving your fellow citizens well with your campaign of misinformation and your spying.

Why don't you get a real job instead of spraying message boards with your crap?

oh that's right, you cant get a "real job" because there are no real jobs to be had in our country.

As far as I know, we did not endure 8 years of war with Clinton in office.

Forget about the meaningless loss of life, (killing other human beings is clearly not a concern for the so called religious right).

Do you know how much money has been tossed away on these exercises in Iraq and Afghanastan?

TRILLONS OF DOLLARS.

We are in the shitter.

You want to talk about stats but
I am talking from personal experience.

I am talking about my family and my friends and colleagues who are struggling to make ends meet.

Stats or no stats, my reality confirms what is known to all about our country's economic status.
There aint no fucking jobs to be had even for college educated professionals.

I asked how many people you know who are unemployed, underemployed, crippled with debt and losing their homes?

I KNOW SEVERAL.

Can you explain how a company like Bear Sterns which survived the stock market crash of 1920 can go belly up in 2008 without a serious discussion about where we are heading?

and then youre gonna turn around and shriek about moral values?

where is the morality in killing people around the globe ( war = killing, death and murder) and destroying this earth's resources?

we have been totally fucked under 8 years of the GOP's mindless bullshit.

Her entire state has the population of Memphis. Not to mention this anti-choice Assemblies of God moron thinks the planet is 6,000 years old. Bitch, please!

I do believe there's a conservative approach to universal health care as well as fixing some of the imbalance between the ultra rich and the ordinary working stiff -- I have seen where our empire is in decline and the dissolution is going to bring about scary times. Our country won't last much longer with things as they are on either side of the fence - both sides have got it horribly wrong -- our country has become too big to manage

It's funny that you think I'm an Obama Maniac (I was actually rooting for Hillary) but you can't pull your head out of your ass long enough to see that McCain has no problem compromising his IDEALS to placate his party, so that they will finally accept him. You must be right to say that Palin is fresh and new and therefore will be different. How? She's still against a woman's right to choose, she's all for busting up our few untouched National Wildlife Reserves for the sake of searching for oil instead of focusing on renewable sources of energy (her husband's an oiler, btw, and would very likely profit from this), Against gay people having the same rights as any one else. Again, go ahead and think what you want, and keep that blindfold on and think just because someone is inexperienced like she is, she's somehow incorruptible and different.

@Conky, Sarah Palin had the right to chose to have a baby with Down Syndrome. Don't start that bullshit at all. Iknew that was coming, saw it two miles away. She wanted to have a child with Down Syndrone which her choice, she gets no special award for that.

I think Heidi Montag would have been the betetr choice. I don't see why he didn't call Dan Quayle.

The fact that you just called a baby who would have Down's a retard speaks volumes about you as a person. Keep deluding yourself that McBush/Palin will win by a landslide.

This Sarah Palin looks like a very interesting person who possesses real moral values.. she had a Down syndrome baby knowing it would be born that way.

Obama would abort it himself if Michelle was gonna have a retard baby. LOL

She's anti-choice, anti-gay, pro-war, pro-oil, a creationist who has almost 0 qualifications. Vacuous and disgusting - has nothing in common with Hillary except they're both women. Here's to Biden smashing her down in the debates, though such a puppet they'll prob feed lines to.

OH, GinaOliviaMallory, so sorry I missed your insight!

I think everything's been covered by everyone else but the welfare you speak of..your precious tax dollars? Yeah, the majority of long term welfare recipients are unwed mothers, most of whom had their first child when they were teenagers. No education for them, shucks. I wonder if they knew they had a CHOICE. Prolly not, maybe they had mothers like you. I'm sure those welfare women, struggling to make a life for themselves and their children feel so STRONG as the same motherfukkers screaming for them to keep their babies are the same motherfukkers looking down on them for needing help. The same holier-than-thou bible thumping motherfukkers who damned the possibility of using birth control.

Just wondering... did you know the VP can work 60, sometimes up to 80 hours per week? A mother with 5 children, and one with special needs? *gasp* What does your hypocritical ass think about that?

I agree, It´s quite disturbing how most people don´t have a clue how ecosymstems function. People seriously believe that unless natural predators are "controlled" by humans, they will just eat up all their prey!!!
There´s one reserve in my country where the arctic fox is not allowed to be hunted (although there are still some fucking assholes who break that rule) and there are people that claim that the species is ruining the birdlife in the area! To that I always say, the fox was here long long before the humans arrived, do people think that there wasn´t any birdlife back then? And if so, how the hell could the foxes have survived if they had eaten up all their prey??? It´s just so stupid...
