What is Good About Palin is That...........

never again will there be a "computer clueless" candidate for president. Within minutes of her VP candidacy being announced, a Google search revealed much of the "dirt" about her that later was substantiated fully.

I guess this establishes the level that the Dubya RepubliCONs have sunk to. They must use computer service providers with mainframes to do their fund raising.

Have you seen Palin's recent interviews? How dare you brag about successfully smearing this woman. Here is a quote from Camille Pagglia on this issue:

Given that Obama had served on a Chicago board with Ayers and approved funding of a leftist educational project sponsored by Ayers, one might think that the unrepentant Ayers-Dohrn couple might be of some interest to the national media. But no, reporters have been too busy playing mini-badminton with every random spitball about Sarah Palin, who has been subjected to an atrocious and at times delusional level of defamation merely because she has the temerity to hold pro-life views.

How dare Palin not embrace abortion as the ultimate civilized ideal of modern culture? How tacky that she speaks in a vivacious regional accent indistinguishable from that of Western Canada! How risible that she graduated from the State University of Idaho and not one of those plush, pampered commodes of received opinion whose graduates, in their rush to believe the worst about her, have demonstrated that, when it comes to sifting evidence, they don't know their asses from their elbows.

Here is a link to the entire article:

You're so desperate you're siding with... Paglia? LOL!

(And before you go all screamy, Paglia's like the 25th smartest person in the world; I know that. I know a lot more about her than you do. Of course she's rushing to the defense of another woman who's made a career trading on sex appeal. You should see the other stuff she does.)

I am well aware of Paglia's opinion's. Tell me how do you know: 1. so much about Camille Paglia and 2. so much about me?

lubbesuh. The elections over. The RepubliCONs are no longer funding your posts. Go to the nearest McBush office and get them to cut you your final paycheck before they close their doors!

As a career classroom teacher, I can see how smart she is -- and quite frankly, I think the people who don't see it are the stupid ones, wrapped in the fuzzy mummy-gauze of their own worn-out partisan dogma. So she doesn't speak the King's English -- big whoop!

from the paglia piece. fuzzy mummy gauze glaze worn out dogma. for a democrat, she is OK in my book.

As, well, a kind of professional feminist, I come across Paglia all the time and have even met her once. I'm sure you have all kinds of awesome Paglisms of your own, but my favorite recent one is where she accused Naomi Wolf of wagging her breasts at men.

I know so much about you because I read your posts. For the record, I wouldn't care if your advisers said things about you.

palin is more of a feminist that obama's ungrateful wife and that is for damn sure.

Huh? Care to elaborate?
Re: What is Good About Palin is That...........

sure i'' explain. palin's husband is subservient to her needs while obama's ungrateful wife plays second fiddle to the big eared one. that makes palin more of a feminist among other reasons.

What a bizarre notion of feminism. That's not what the word means at all.

And even if it did, it's still a seriously crazy way of looking at the Palins' and Obamas' family dynamics. When Todd's out at one of his professional snowmobiling gigs, who do you think is playing 'second fiddle' running the state and her household? Oh, and he still makes more money than she does, even as a part-time oil and fish man.

what do you think feminism means? i'm of the rush limbaugh attitude where feminism is more of a way for ugly, rich, white women to be mainstreamed.

Re: What is Good About Palin is That...........

Well, there's your problem. Of course you think Palin is more 'feminst' than Obama, then.

Just because Palin distances herself from the "femnist" label doesn't mean that she doesn't embody the ideals. Apart from abortion, there's really nothing core to the feminist movement that she doesn't represent and I think that reasonable people can disagree on whether or not abortion is an appropriate plank in the feminist platform.

Those who control the "feminist" political brand are loons--just as those who control the "christian" political brand are loons. We shouldn't let them brand the 95% of people who don't 100% agree with him as traitors to the cause.
