Loud-Mouth-and-Loose-Lipped Palin Owes Obama an Apology for This One, by Margo Howard

Editor’s Note: A longtime journalist, Margo Howard went into the family business (her mother was the fabled Ann Landers) in the 1990s as Dear Prudence. Her broad experience and understanding of human nature provide answers for the troubled — and entertainment for everyone else. Click here to read her column on Yahoo!

I really thought I was done talking about Sarah Palin, but life is what happens when you’re making other plans. I wish there were a word that was a cross between "appalled" and "nauseated," because that’s what the lady’s latest outburst has me feeling. Saturday evening Drudge picked up a Breitbart story where the headline was: "Palin says Obama ‘palling around’ with terrorists." As if this weren’t bad enough, she went on to tell whatever group she was addressing: "This is not a man who sees America as you see America and as I see America." Well, I’ll tell you what I see: a loud-mouth, loose-lipped nobody who is drunk on media attention and a quart low in the judgment department. I think both she and her aged "maverick" buddy owe Mr. Obama an apology for this one.

To live on the same street and to have served on a board with Billy Ayers, part of the Weather Underground when Obama was in grade school and now a professor, is not my idea of "palling around with." I think this hockey mom/moose skinner fits perfectly into the class war she is helping perpetuate, even though she has none.

It would have far more factual validity for Obama, or a surrogate, to publicize the fact that Track, the kid who joined the Army, did so because a judge told him it was that or jail due to his dealing drugs. I have a strong hunch, however, the Obama people would never get into that. Up until now the lady has annoyed me because of her ignorance and arrogance, but now I am furious, especially when her headline-making remark from yesterday was that Obama was not "fit" to be commander-in chief. I think the McCain people better lock the lady up again and tell her to zip it, because she is not fit to even ad-lib.

Kermie, thanks for the link. I just sent it to everyone in my contact list. If that doesn’t seal the deal on his candidacy, I don’t know what will. “America needs a cool hand on the tiller” indeed!

This smear campaign is getting pretty ugly….Just found this article about McCains’ brother and what he said about Virginia: McCain’s brother says N. Va. ‘Communist country’ Sunday, October 5, 2008 1:21 PM EDT The Associated Press By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican presidential candidate John McCain’s brother made an apparent joke at a campaign rally this weekend that might not play well in parts of newly competitive Virginia. Joe McCain, speaking at an event in support of his brother, called two Democratic-leaning areas in Northern Virginia “communist country,” according to a report on The Washington Post’s Web site. “I’ve lived here for at least 10 years and before that about every third duty I was in either Arlington or Alexandria, up in communist country,” Joe McCain, a Navy veteran, said at an event in Loudoun County, Va. Joe McCain then apologized, but the remark drew laughter at the event, according to the report. Virginia has long been a Republican stronghold in presidential elections, but Democrat Barack Obama is running even or ahead of McCain in recent state polls. Obama is being helped by fast-growing communities in the Washington, D.C., suburbs of Northern Virginia, which tend to vote more Democratic than other parts of the state. One of those areas is Arlington, Va., where John McCain owns a condominium. “This was Joe McCain’s unsuccessful attempt at humor,” said McCain campaign spokeswoman Gail Gitcho. “John McCain and Sarah Palin are committed to winning the support of voters in Northern Virginia and understand the region’s importance to victory statewide.”

Ahhhhhhhhhhh….and they wondered WHAT publications Palin reads right? They now have their answer. NEW YORK TIMES reported this, http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/04/us/politics/04ayers.html?_r=1&oref=slo… straight for the paper itself. Hmmmmmmmm…I know Palin is going to let ‘others’ know what other publications she reads and I know she will QUOTE them also. Soooooooo…get ready obots - the Saracudda is coming out swingin’!

Evidently, neither you nor Sarah Palin actually read the article.

NUTS, I take it you did not read this article! Because if you really had read it verse skimming it, you would have never posted this! “I know Palin is going to let others’ know what other publications she reads and I know she will QUOTE them also.” Are you personally acquainted with Palin that you make this claim? You do sound quiet a bit like her in regards to use of the English language.

Jennifer “Say it ain’t so Jenny” - you haven’t the slightest CLUE ‘who’ I am so don’t even try. Perhaps this might just make things a bit more CLEAR for you. If a writer wishes to let the mighty pen flow then put those words out for the entire world to see then they should expect some opinions to be not what they intended to be. dig it?

Nuts, What does any of this have to do with your posting an article that is contrary to supporting your position? I do not have a clue as to who you are is right. I would just like to know where you have gotten your information about the papers and periodicals Palin reads? You put the statement out there, and Yes, I question it’s foundation. You have failed to answer it in any form what so ever. Oh, I have not used the name Jenny since childhood. Jen or Jennifer. Thank you, and unlike you I use my real name, not a made up one. I really put my self out there, I do not hide.

That’s because she’s going nuts. At least, that’s what her alias tells us. (She could be calling you “Jenny” as a reference to a female donkey/Democrat. Jack would be the male version.) Or not.

Jennifer, Say it ain’t so Jenny” - you haven’t the slightest CLUE ‘who’ I am so don’t even try. This is what Nuts says to you. I find when I want to know who someone is I click on their Avator and read some of their other comments………….gives you a good idea of the person you are sharing ideas with. Just a suggestion Jennifer.

From the article you spoke of: “In a televised interview last spring, Senator John McCain, Mr. Obama’s Republican rival, asked, ‘How can you countenance someone who was engaged in bombings that could have or did kill innocent people?’” Vietnam? Baghdad? We will pay for your silly arrogance, waving your blood-stained flag. It means nothing now.
