Bushisms & Palinisms During Initial Campaigns Were Identical
These carefully ranked malapropisms are quite funny. Equally funny and much sadder is to re-visit one or two of Bush's hilarious interviews in 1999 and 2000 -- and compare them with Sarah Palin interviews in 2008. It is difficult to remember how unschooled Bush was in foreign and domestic affairs as he set out for the highest office. Bush ...

Why is her lack of geography knowledge hard to believe?
I don't find it hard at all to believe that she doesn't know the signatory nations to NAFTA or that Africa is a continent. Having been a decent student as a kid has clearly not followed through to make her a lifelong reader and intellectually curious person, or she wouldn't have consistently sounded like such a numbskull every time she was off the ...

Re: I don't really see the big deal
I agree...I think it's a non-issue (me-Independant voter, not rich...). In fact, I think Slate is showing their political cards by having an article on this. These kind of articles are what justify the FOX news watchers (my mother!) into labeling the media the 'liberal elite'. On top of the fact, it's sexist. I haven't heard anything reported ...

Where's Hillary?
The McCain-Palin brouhaha over the 'pig in lipstick' analogy is so much BS. But rather than the Obama campaign responding, it should be Hillary. Because McCain made the same crack about her health care plan, she is in the ideal position to call him out on their supposed outrage. And let's not forget the town meeting where one of McCain's ...

Genetic problems can be tested at later and SAFER time
Being Pro-CHOICE means supporting ALL women. Women who want to carry a pregnancy to term as well as women who don't. Additionally, it means promoting family planning aids like birth-control pills, IUD, etc...which Palin is against (as evidenced by her now pregnant daughter). I recommend spending some time reading up on medical testing during ...

Amniocentesis is NOT a SIMPLE test
Amnio is an INVASIVE test that puts a pregnancy at risk. I have worked with many parents who have to make the decision to get the test-they are ALWAYS afraid that they will end up with a miscarriage or infection to the mother. It's not as easy decision. Amnio was invented to give families information early enough to abort if needed. Doctors ...

Already Done!
The fashion war already done with Romney the winner for the republicans and Obama for the Democrats. Several mags on Obama's style and suite designer (in Boston, made in America). Obama won for beauty, McCain won for the most expensive out fit. Overall, more magazine review and media attention on Obama style than on Clinton. Like the sexism ...
