Michelle, “cannot tolerate that young, blonde airhead that cohosts with Whoopi.” I think her name is Elizabeth….she is so dumb it is just incredible. And she just makes things up. Obama is going to double taxes etc. Whoopi has a lot of patience. And Whoopi, obviously they compare a Harvard Law shool grad, editor of the Harvard law eivew, State Senator reelected 6 times and with one of the 6 highest ratings in that body for environmental stewardship. A man who could have gone to Wall St or into a major law firm and started out with a 6 figure income, and instead went to So Chicago to serve. So yes, no one has seen a candidate this strategic, this articulate, this charismatic since JFK (who still has a 85% global approval rating) of course they compare him to Paris/Britney to denigrate and belittle him. That’s rove’s style. A bunch of pigs at the trough….and a truly great man. That’ how the game is played. I used to think McSame was OK. Now I see he’s the Manchurian Candidate….wonder what the Oilgarchy has on him. Elizabeth on The View being incomprehensible…but her arms do look good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScVlMkI-kQo

Yeah, Carly Fiorina only ran the world’s 11th largest global company with $104B in revenues. But hey! Today McSame defended Palin’s past experience on the Wasilla City Council and as mayor of the Alaska town pop 8,500!!! To put that into perspective, the small seaside resort of Santa Barbara has a population of 85,000. So golly jeepers that is just so cool that Miss Congeniality was major of some podunk town in Alaska a tenth the size. What are the majore problems in a podunk Alaska town….? Moose crossings?

Maurine —“but I loved her comments to Mugsy.” That was really nice. Asthma is the worst. I hope Mugsy will be well soon…

I can’t wait to see Miss Congeniality’s acceptance speech. I’m sure she wants World Peace. Will they put her in a soundproof booth and then she’ll come out—perhaps introduced by the other GOP Movie Star Mitt Romney? He only strapped one dog to his car roof for a cross country freeway ride, she hates Polar Bears! That’s not nice Miss Congeniality!! Wiil she Answer the Question in an Evening Gown? Will there be a swimsuit competition? Talent? I mean besides the resume: PTA, Hockey Mom. Sports reader. Journalism degree. Will she be crowned Miss Exxon-Halliburton? We’ll just have to wait and see.

Gee, I’ll bet it just frosted the B-Day boys cake that Obama had the biggest global TV audience in political history. Over 40M watched his speech live. More than the Olympics opening the Oscars….only a few Super Bowls have come close. So he picked a Kewpie Doll he’s only met once, dissing Romney etc now reduced to carrying her water at the GOP convention on Monday, and to get the attention off the serious issues and onto a discussion of this PR move of selecting a female tool to front their 8 and hopefully 12 year Oilgarghy run out of 1600 Penn. Are you better off than you were 8 years ago? Are you or the US or the world going to be better off with 4 more years of the same? do we want a D-Student and a Barbie Doll with 18 months exp running a state that is small by far (population 606,000) than US major cities: NYC 8M, SF 700,000 etc?? This is pandering at its cheapest worse, and it is for McCain’s Oil Overlords. What’s hokey…oh I’m sorry, typo, Hockey Mom going to do if the Geezer in Chief drops dead? He’s the Mancurian Candidate and this is a bigger joke than was Mr. Potatoe Head.

It IS contemptuous of women. It is pandering to oil companies (McCain and the GOP’s pay masters) and taking the conversation off Obama’s huge success and discussion of real issues. McCain has met her ONCE. She stopped twirling her baton and asked what a VP did. This is about putting a tool in front of the GOP that is all for the Oilgarchy to garner the [dumb] woman’s vote and extend the Halliburton-Exxon administration at least 4 more years. What is rather pathetic is that women here who have stated they try to have $1 meals are voting for a man and a party that is against all their issues. How really dumb can you be? How many of those women are better off than they were 8 years ago? MCain couldn’t sell out a 85K seat stadium, nor could he garner the kind of global audience Obama had because most people with brains don’t care about an oily geezer who voted with Bush 90% of the time and so needed a Kewpie Doll for the Convention to create a little news. Gee, I wonder how Romney etc feel getting shoved aside by a Beauty Queen who doesn’t know what a VP does…..blink…blink….blink Obma’s speech last night had a bigger world audience than the Olympics Opening, the Oscars, and the biggest ever for a presidential candidate. They have to get the news conversation off of that and onto Sarah “I hate polar bears” Palin. Obama’s speech had an audience of over 40 million people. It was the most popular political television event in history. Nielsen Media Research reported that more people watched, than they did the Bejing Olympics opening ceremony, the final “American Idol” or the Academy Awards this year. Only 4 playoff football games, including the Super Bowl between the Giants and Patriots, were seen by more than 40 million people. No other convention had more viewers ever in history. The closest in interest was the 1976 GOP seen in 21.9 million homes. 38.4 million people watched Obama’s speech live. PBS had an additional 4 million viewers that wasn’t counted in the Neilsen numbers, and neither was C-SPAN’s audience. The Republican convention begins Monday. And John McCain wanted to take attention away from Obama by selecting Palin who he met ONCE. Now I am out of here because I am that sick and disgusted and don’t even want to see the word McCain. He doesn’t just have contempt for women, but for the severity of everything we face as a world and a nation to pick at this crucilbe time an ex-beauty queen who for 18 months has governed a remote state smaller than every major US city. What is is hockey mom going to talk about at the G8 with world leaders? This is a cheap a shot as dumping his crippled wife for a $100M dollar Barbie doll. He’s an opportunist. He got another Barbie who came with a state full of oil for his oil paymasters. This is disgusting.

Here’s what Ambassador Marc Ginsburg said, “Incredibly stunning to say the least…another Dan Quayle selection moment in American politics. First termer and former beauty queen . So this is John McCain’s bait to dissatisfied Hillary supporters? Sen. Obama was correct… John McCain just doesn’t get it. He actually believes Rush Limbaugh who had to have collectively brainwashed the McCain operation that placing a neophyte female Alaskan governor on the ticket would convert the “over 50” Democratic moms to the GOP fold. McCain turned down far more nationally qualified individuals who have now been relegated to subordinate status in the pecking order GOP politics: 1. Mitt Romney 2. Tim Pawlenty 3. Tom Ridge 4. Lindsey Graham 5. Charlie Crist 6. Joe Lieberman 7. Carly Fiorina How must they feel? Each rejected candidate now having to gamely march out before the national media to defend this singular act of a political Hail Mary pass. To steal an old adage of former Secretary of State James Baker… putting Sarah Palin into a debate with Joe Biden is going to be like throwing Howdy Doody into a knife fight! This is the person McCain will entrust to be a heartbeat away from the presidency? To be a commander-in-chief when the nation is fighting two wars??? Self-indulgence has long been McCain’s dark underbelly. McCain’s 72nd birthday present to himself… leaping without a parachute into the poltical unknown appears more rash than rationale. If the McCain campaign was hoping to make the issue of experience a determining factor… it just took that issue completely off the table. … welcome Gov. Palin to the intense limelight of the national stage and the collective sounds of shocked gulps from your own party.”

Ambassador Marc Ginsburg had some B-Day thoughts; “Incredibly stunning to say the least…another Dan Quayle selection moment in American politics.

Whoah. I guess now we know why they call her The Body. Can’t she be McCain’s VP??!! She could give us National Pilates lessons everyday at 3PM. And I wonder what her position is on oil? Canola, grapeseed or olive?

It’s digusting and it reeks. She’s just an ambitious, unsophisticated tool for the Greedy Oil Profiteering party to bring in votes. And to move the news from Obama’s excellent speech on issues that have been denied for 8-years and to glam up the GOP convention.

Right on Joan. I’m disgusted that we’ve endured 8-years of Rovian tactics, wholesale wreckage and a nightmare of hell with Bush/Cheney and then get this pandering move. Use a puppet to grab the spotlight away from Obama’s excellent speech—full of issues that have been submerged for 8 horrific years. And place an unequalifed beauty queen a heartbeat away from the nuQUEleer button. Pathetic. Big time. And ever more so that some unsophisticated women think that using the hockey mom as a front to bring in votes and keep the oil/war profiteering party in office is somehow a compliment or step up for women. She’s a tool. Plain and simple. It just reeks.

Ditto!!

DeBurca, Exactly. It’s disgusting, pandering and a Rovian move to grab the spotlight away from Obama’s excellent speech and real issues. And use an inexperienced woman as the ‘front’ for the Greedy Oil Profiteering party to retain office. She is nothing but their tool. It is shows utter contempt for the US and Americans. It’s politics as usual and not some maverick move. This is a tactic like the Corporations that are polluting the world and have bogus butterfly commericials. Just a PR front. It’s beyond a careless choice. Its a completely reckless choice. To put a hockey Mom one heartbeat away from the nuQUEleer button as she said. What is she going to talk about at the G8? This is so low and despicable. If women think this is breaking the glass ceiling or a compliment to them, they are really gullible.

She isn’t a ‘woman’ of merit on the ticket she’s a manipulated puppet to help Exxon and the other big oil companies, and oil service companies like Halliburton, wreck the world a little more. A GOP airhead is no ‘sister’ of mine. She’s a tool for the GOP oligarcy.

Pam—-Brilliant. You get it completely. “Thanks, little lady. Now sit on your hands and shut up!” Blind ambition and blind stupidity. The “heartbeat away from the presidency”? Exactly. You just cut to the chase. An easy to manipulate puppet.
