I am really surprised by the trivial response of WOWOWOW to yesterday’s important news. One of the biggest potential stories of the decade, with respect to women, is the vetting of a possible future female vice president (and, by extension) of the USA. This story came to a head yesterday. Are all the good ladies on the WOWOWOW masthead asleep at the switch (excuse the mixed metaphor)? Surely, today’s question should relate to the vetting of Sarah Palin and NOT to summer movies?

Isn’t the entire front page of WOW covered in various editors’ opinions/responses to the nomination of Palin, each followed up with hundreds of readers comments??? I, for one, got burnt out on the Palin discussions, so there MUST have been a response that was more than “trivial”.

Hi Kryssi, Yay for Kryssi! (I would add Kryssi for President, but I don’t want to risk 791 responses) Yay for Kryssi!

Didn’t see Mama Mia. Dark Knight was too long and full of desperate situations over and over and over again. Although Heath Ledger’s performance was stellar and genius, I got up and left - got kind of bored. Sorry. Waited for hubby in the lobby.

Hi Frannie, Hope the popcorn was good! I took my “little brother” to see Dark Knight, and would have dashed for the lobby, too, but Big Brothers/Big Sisters is pretty strict about sticking close to your “little.” That movie SCARED me…

Aw you’re too sweet, but president of this country is an impossible task that I would NEVER be willing to take on! Hell, I can’t even watch the local news anymore without popping Xanax…

Hee hee. Funny, Kryssi. Let me know if you ever change your mind. If you share your xanax, I’ll be your economic advisor…

Sam, I totally agree that WOW should be leading an inquiry re: vetting and examining the ideas,positions, and experience background of Palin. For a VP candidate who is unabashedly against Choice,Stem cell Research,Pro Death Penalty,Pro Gun Lobby,and much much more we would hope that a real discussion of the issues and experience involved would be crucial. We know this quick pick was done in a desperate need to fire up the base and get evangelical dollars asap, but McCain must be held to account for this kind of selection which leads Palin within an eyelash of the Presidency. I am concerned that WOW hasn’t dealt with this full tilt. Especially since McCain has just told us the election will be decided on personality, and not on the issues. McCain is now speaking code.

Oops. The phrase in parenthesis in the second sentence should read “and, by extension, president.”

Sam Aren’t there enough threads where the vitriol will go on and on and on and on for you? Why do we need more threads to tear down another woman. The funny thing is, later everyone says, “oh gosh, why are women so hard on other women and want to tear them down”? It is amazing how many different negative adjectives that some can come up with. What? It makes them feel powerful? What is that?

Frannie, I feel no vitriol, but it is my sacred right to question and challenge ANY candidate for VP who is a heartbeat away from Presidency. Palin needs vetting and we all deserve to know more about her positions on the important issues. We do know that she is pro gun lobby, pro death penalty, anti choice, anti stem cell research, and more. But there is lots we need to know and have every right to know about ANY candidate Palin’s sex does not count. It’s her positions that do.. She has put herself out there, and that alone speaks volumes as to why we must know more about her record, and the issues. Being a woman does not give her a free pass to the White House, yet you imply questions about her are “vitriolic”. Nonsense. If she’s tough enough for the job she should have no problem allowing us to understand what she stands for and what she’s done. As we speak McCain tells us that this election will be about “personalities” and NOT on the issues. We’ll see.

Mitzi I agree, it is everyone’s sacred right to question and challenge ANY candidate for VP (or President). You are right, but that isn’t all that has gone one on the site. Have you read all of the threads? There was a massive piling on of negativity as well as blame of manipulation. Yet every news source on earth was running down just how much negative reporting they could do. Then many here took that to an even further degree with adding their own take on the “understory”. The criticism was extreme and many times had nothing to do with her doing her job. Hey, anyone can do and say whatever they want, and of course make their decisions of who they would vote for. The surprising aspect was that most of those people are Obama/Biden supporters, and have already chosen their candidate. I said this the other day, if there is an active and loud attack on her, the other side will rally around her. Maybe it doesn’t make sense to you, but they will, and they are. Republicans that were on the wall will now circle the wagons to protect her and vote for her. Which they are. Republicans that were going to vote for Obama are going back to their party. Remember in the ‘o4 election when the conservative voting base was floundering, the Republicans put the anti-gay marriage initiatives on the ballot in certain areas? It got the conservative voters to the polls, because if they would vote for that, they would also vote for Bush. I don’t know who the American people will elect president. I could not tell you. It seems that the Obama/Biden machine is running fast and strong. Hey, I wasn’t a Hillary supporter when I came on here, but I never went into all that negativity about her. What is the point? Tear another woman down on a woman’s site? Snarky comments about republicans, such as someone mentioning picking up a rock and seeing writhing worms and it reminded them of conservatives. What? I just thought that we were better than that. My mistake.

I am waiting for Netflix to give me the summer movies. Well, they will be winter movies. I do not give a hoot when I see them.
