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.

Nuts, if she were at all civilised, she would apologize for lying that Mr. Obama spends his time with terrorists as she represents the worst terrorists in the world, the Republican Party of the United States, as their candidate. You need to apologise for being so very rude to everyone here. It is, however, very American of you.

Freyja: You need to apologise for being so very rude to everyone here. It is, however, very American of you. Whoa !! Now that is insulting. Are you a friend of Obama’s? Because he has no particular love for America, either. Thinks it’s all broken and only he can fix it. McCain/Palin 2008 for America’s sake

Marjorie — I don’t agree with you that he thinks that it’s “all” broken. He thinks that Washington is broken. yes. But consider this — if he did not LOVE America, he would not be bothered to fix it!

Freyja — It is you who owe an apology to everyone here. In the first place, how do you know she is a Republican? Your remarks are just such a load!!! I must pass on this advise from “Maxine” “Wipe your mouth girl ——there’s still a tiny bit of bs around your lips”.

Freyja —- “It is, however, very American of you”. And, just what is your nationality? Be interesting to know!

Very good points, Freyja

Buh- Bye
Well I know I won’t be looking to Dear Prudence for advice on human understanding in the future. Whew. Did Margo Howard actually say… ” 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…?” Uh… yes she did.

In fairness to the woman who now writes Dear Prudence, you should know that although I was Prudie for eight years, I have been writing “Dear Margo” for Yahoo News and Creators Syndicate for almost three years, so boycott me, if you are so inclined.

Ahahahaha, dahling Margo, you are described as “A longtime journalist?” Even old, dead movie stars know that journalists are objective reporters who give facts to their readers to draw their own conclusions. Journalist? Ahahahaha. Thanks for the laugh. You’re a rabble-rouser, dahling. Nothing more.

Tiny correction, hon. Reporters are tasked with being “objective;” columnists, essayists, and pundits are expected to have opinions — and voice them.

Thanks for the clarification. I think that is an important distinction and obviously why columnists can be more fun to read because they do not have to worry about coming off as biased. I think we all need to remember that is why Fox News can say the things it does because they are not true reporters they are pundits, they just like to pretend they are reporters.

g c: …just like to pretend they are reporters. That applies to much of the main-stream-media, then.
