The motorcyclists are not political they say, but if ya wanna ride then ya can ride.....So on hops Sahara, wave to your moron supporters, ya know the ones who STILL say they would vote for her for president LOL!
This family makes me puke, they are fuckin media whores, plain and simple! This is what I call trailer park trash!
"How do you wear all this leather and stay cool?" she asked one woman. Palin asked others to show off their tattoos as she took off her own leather jacket and worked her way through a crush of fans, photographers and reporters.
Just before she, husband Todd and daughters Bristol and Piper rolled from the Pentagon's parking lot, she gave a thumbs-up to a military police officer who asked if he could snap a picture while taking a break from directing traffic.
On the windshield of Palin's bike: a likeness of President George W. Bush. Next to it, the words "Miss Me?" And on her hand, the words "justice rolls" were written in smeared ink.
It was an apparent reference to Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, which is quoted on Palin's website: "We will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream".
It would be alot of fun if she did run, but no, she's not, she's just queen of the trailer park and loves to have her picture taken.....you can't be president of the USA just cuz you're cute, a little substance would help, she has none..

This woman really is a classless piece of excrement. As a recent poll shows, only the uneducated support her. But she sure knows how to get the media to drool all over her.
To quote Chris Matthews......."This woman knows NOTHING".
Happy Memorial Day!
Thanks to this stunt, and thanks to the publicity preceding her upcoming film (not thanks to the film itself, which will turkey out as fast as Atlas Shrugged did), Palin's back where she wants to be -- at the center of attention.
I'm still not convinced that she's actually going to run for President. She's figured out that her hunger for publicity (and the resulting flow of money) is best fed by appearing to be in the race and keeping the speculation going.
Some of the Rolling Thunderers were a bit unhappy that she showed up and turned their event into a publicity stunt for herself, but then, too, she'll always manage to find some of her fans at such a venue. Either way, she's got no reason to care -- any publicity is good publicity.
Speaking of white trash, just what the hell does her husband do?
I love how mccain said she can win against Obama. This from a man that thought HE could win solidly.
She is not going to run, but she will milk every dollar she can out of the publicity.
Neither Mrs. Obama nor Mrs. Palin are trailer park trash - the utilization of such desperate terminology far more a reflection of our own anger and insecurities than anything. What was it, folks, that Mr. Obama said about people being angry and turning to....?
I disagree Will, and alot of other sane people think she is too...she crossed the line on her motorcycle photo opt...
* A Vietnam Veteran's Letter To Sarah Palin - author unknown *
For some time now, you have been an amusing, albeit mostly incoherent annoyance. But today you crossed a line. With that high cut helmet, carefully designed to allow your professionally coiffed hair to flow freely, you have tried to hijack a moment that you can't even begin to understand. You decided that an event that has for years been intended to call attention to our POW/MIAs would make a really cool photo-op, as well as a great kick-off for your next get-rich-quick scheme. Well, Sarah, you picked my war this time. I had several buddies, two of whom died within a couple of meters of me, and you zoomed right past their names on The Wall today; winking and smiling all the way. You weren't invited, you weren't welcome, but when has that ever stopped you? Did you make a few extra bucks for your PAC? If so, I hope that helps you sleep tonight. Because you see, Sarah, my buddies have been sleeping for 40 years; and if they knew that a two-bit grifter like you would one day be making money off of their sacrifice, they might not be resting as easily as I hope they are tonight. I'm a Christian, Sarah, and I don't say this lightly ... God damn you, Sarah Palin.

Mrs. Palin is hardly the first candidate (or potential candidate) to exploit a situation for political gain. Bill Clinton (as part of his reelection run in 1996) went in front of a bunch of businessmen and said, "You probably think that raised your taxes too much. Well, let me tell you something, I think that I raised them too much, too." Thank God, isn't is, that he never spoke in front of......
For God's sake, Will - there is a world of difference between Clinton appearing before a bunch of businessmen and a political figure who appears UNINVITED on a holiday set aside to remember our fallen heroes at an event organized by a group of veterans. Not only that, but memorials, such as the Vietnam Wall and the Jefferson Memorial, are considered hallowed ground. A circuit court judge just ruled as such two weeks ago. What would you say had she ridden her bike through Arlington Cemetery?
Sarah Palin is an insensitive, narcissistic, publicity seeking, tacky, trashy wench, period.
All of you on the fringe left are a'holes, period!
The lot of you fail to muster the firepower of a single brain cell.
Baa, Baa, Baa...
Another false equivalence from willy to make the liberals do it too (so the idiocy or crass political opportunism of the tea baggin far right fringe is OK) meme sound credible.
News Flash Willy, The Clenis NEVER dishonored the memory of Viet Nam Veterans for pure monetary gain like the white trash from Wasilla did ...
never.
But you TRY like hell to make sound like he or some other liberal did.
Funny why you always defend right wingers in this way, but never seem to do the obverse.
RN: GO FUCK YOURSELF.
"All of you on the fringe left are a'holes, period!
The lot of you fail to muster the firepower of a single brain cell.
Baa, Baa, Baa..."
That sounds like something a fringer would write.
Personally, I chose to ignore Palin and her publicity stunt to gain attention and money.
I read that she actually had to write her talking points on her hand! This from a woman who mock Mr. Obama about a teleprompter?
Look people, you give her too much notice--much more than this under educated and over confident know-nothing deserves.
Just remember that this silly woman characterized the Israeli/Palestinian issue as a "zoning problem."
That statement alone in a rational society should have been enough to laugh her into obscurity.
However, this country has a small rabid group of people that admires pretty ignorance--thus Palin will be around for a while to annoy us.
I find her rather adorable--like a chihuahua--she makes squeaky sounds but is really insignificant.
Leslie I agree completely, comparing Clinton speaking to businessmen and Palin's photo opt barge in for monetary gain is ridiculous.
And RN, why do you come here? Your wise ass comments are not needed.
Shaw, if that woman is gonna run for POTUS it's our responsibility to point out the ridiculousness of it all, right? It makes the wingnuts furious too, which is so much fun! LOL!
There's that RN again giving us his intellectual, detailed reasons for why we are wrong.
Thanks for proving my point about you RN. Again, and again, and again..................
Sue,
Palin won't run for president.
If she does, she will replace Douglas Feith as the dumbest f***ing person on the planet.
LOL!
if that woman is gonna run for POTUS
Would cause a real conundrum for St Sarah of the Grift.
If she runs she has to stop the grift, there are laws about grifting while actually running for national office.
BUT when she loses (trust me, she will lose), she can grift on an even higher level .... so much money ... how to get as much as she can while doing as little as possible.
A very hard decision for her, lots harder then remembering what papers she reads, or which hand she wrote her teleprompter notes on......LOL
I'd apologize for losing my cool with RN but it would be less than sincere and therefore dishonest. I'm sure most of us come here to have meaningful discussions and hopefully a little fun along the way, NOT to be insulted by this reprobate. He belongs at the bottom of the dung heap with Lisa and her ilk.
L, your comment to RN was so much fun I had to let him stay so the visitors would know why you lost your cool! :-)
I am beginning to think there is a chance Sahara will run... she has just enough conceited arrogance, and like Bachmann says, God will have the final say. So if those two bimbos run you can bet the rapture really will happen in 2012!
LP ... "RN: GO FUCK YOURSELF."
Guess I was wrong. You just proved you do indeed posses a single brain cell. You can capitalize.
You and Tom combined would make a real two cell dynamo!
I thought that businessmen (especially those from the corporate world) were the devil, and that by showing you how Clinton was basically willing to suck their ^&^&*^) for votes, you'd see it as a damn good analogy. Guess that I was wrong. I guess that your hatred for the hapless Mrs. Palin trumps basically everything.............Hey, how 'bout that slut, Laura Ingraham. What a frigging piece of crap she is, huh?
I don't think that liberals ARE vile, Lisa. It's the fringe. They're the ones who seem to go for the jugular.
I thought that businessmen (especially those from the corporate world) were the devil,
Right wing talking point #1 from will
and that by showing you how Clinton was basically willing to suck their ^&^&*^) for votes,
Right wing talking point #2 wrapped in Monica Gate sexist (gay included)innuendo
you'd see it as a damn good analogy.
Only if you accept right wing talking points as valid, I do not.
Guess that I was wrong.
B-I-N-G-O, the only correct thing in your rant.
I guess that your hatred for the hapless Mrs. Palin trumps basically everything
untrue right wing talking point #3 actually two wrapped into one,
Palin is hapless, she isn't, and we "hate" her, most don't just see her for what she really is..............
Hey, how 'bout that slut, Laura Ingraham.
Nice way to infuse a mistake into a right wing talking point for your ranst eh will?
What a frigging piece of crap she is, huh?
You said it, I didn't but you want attack us for your rant?
Oh wait you are really pissed because you got called on your false generalization and false equivalence.
But it is OUR FAULT?
Damn are you a piece of work.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. You right-wingers have no right - none - to come to someone else's blog and spew insults and expect people you've insulted to just keep taking it without handing it back. You dish it out but cry big crocodile tears and go whining to your mommies when someone hands it back to you in spades. TOUGH. You're also a bunch of chicken shits because you wait until Sue has signed off for the night before you come out like vampires and start sucking blood. Wow, how impressive.
Clif, I've actually developed empathy for you over the years. And, besides, trading insults is ridiculous/pointless. You came back to my blog and not only did I welcome you back, I told one of the other commentators that you "meant well". I find it a total shame that you have to act like this. I do, however, wish you well.
Your definition of a right-winger, Leslie? Anybody to the right of Ed Schultz? I haven't voted Republican for President since 1988. And I don't think that I've EVER voted for a Republican (other than Mr. Bush in '88 - who flip-flopped, btw) who wasn't pro-choice. You really need to come to grips with it here, fella'. This is a venue that even President Obama himself would find discomfort in.
I find it a total shame that you have to act like this.
What? Point out the various right wing talking points and sexist innuendo in your rant?
Sorry, but for a supposed non partisan, you seem quite adept at framing the debate in right wing talking points and attacking liberals when they do not toe your supoposedly non-partisan line.
This is far from the first time you have been called out on this and your reaction each time is the same attack the person, instead of dealing with FACTS.
You continuous false equivalence between the far right and liberals, bloggers here and elsewhere is actually outrageous, not to mention your attacks on veterans when they have disagreed with you in the past.
Sorry, but I see what I see, when you post the way you do.
In your rant, you are much closer to Lisa and RN then most of the the people who post here. You should think about that, especially since this isn't your blog any more the LC was. In many ways you haven't changed any from the spring of 2008, except given your history you are transparent to people who have seen to whole act for the last 3 years.
You are still going on other people's blogs and attacking them because they don't accept your framing of the issues, which many see framed with rather far right talking points. Then you get quite angry when called on it, your rant as an example.
This is a venue that even President Obama himself would find discomfort in.
Actually Barack Obama probably has a much larger confront range then you allow him to have will.
Too bad you still want to force your frame on everyone.
Wow, Clif. That "sexist innuendo" you're referring to was a reference to the Ed Schultz dis of Ms. Ingraham. Google it.......And, also, Clif, when you live on the moon (as you still apparently do), even Connecticut and California look close together. It's all about the perception, bra.......I suspect that Lisa and RN didn't vote for Nader, Kerry, and Obama.
That "sexist innuendo" you're referring to was a reference to the Ed Schultz dis of Ms. Ingraham.
NO will it is NOT;
I know what I was referencing in my own posts.
I was referencing the line:
Clinton was basically willing to suck their ^&^&*^)
Please stop trying to frame everyones viewpoints into your own, and accept we all are different and don't agree your's in the only correct viewpoint.
And lower the obvious right wing talking points when attacking liberals, because they do not agree with your viewpoints, and you might not get called on it so much.
For a supposed non-partisan, you are quite comfortable attacking liberals almost exactly the way far right fringe bloggers do.
Neither Mrs. Obama nor Mrs. Palin are trailer park trash - the utilization of such desperate terminology far more a reflection of our own anger and insecurities than anything.
clif, how long have you and I had to suffer this?
Well, let me tell you. Half my family is what would affectionately be termed "white trash." I am of them, and I know them, and I assure you.... Mama Grifter is some of the worst white trash I've ever seen. I cannot figure out for the life of me what anyone would find in her that is the least bit redeeming. The average "Springer" guest is more dignified.
Clif, there's another blogger who used to come here. Her name is Linda and I believe that even Sue would call her a staunch conservative. I got ganged up on over at her blog, too. You want to know why? I'll tell you why. I got ganged up on because I was defending President Obama. I said that he was a good man and that he WASN'T a radical. I told them that the Bill Ayers thing was garbage and that his health care plan was basically the same one that Hatch, Gingrich, etc. put forth in 1993. I tried to reason with them. How could Obama be a radical, I asked, when he kept on Bob Gates and appointed Tim Geithner and Jim Jones? I obviously didn't persuade them, just like I'll never be able to persuade you.......P.S. I also got banned (Linda didn't ban me) over at Tammybruce.com, for criticizing Palin!!! How's the irony there?
And RN, why do you come here? Your wise ass comments are not needed.
"wise" ass? Show me where this one ever said anything approaching wise.
I thought that businessmen (especially those from the corporate world) were the devil, and that by showing you how Clinton was basically willing to suck their ^&^&*^) for votes, you'd see it as a damn good analogy.
I've accused you of having an agenda. I've accused you of being a Rush-sucking winger who only "knows" whatever you're told to know about "the left."
And right here, sir, you have removed all doubt as to the accuracy of my observations.
As usual you point out facts here that do not really affect the actual posts you have here in this thread will.
What I was discussing is the actual posts you have done TODAY, not something I have not read.
Your defense seems not to actually discuss your actions here today.
PS; will at least three different people have the same questions you want to ignore with your But I do other things someplace else.
Sorta like you can get away with your slandering the people here because right wing talking points are true?
And you question others who are not here at other times, feels weak and hollow for a defense if you ask me, for your posts here today.
PSS; at least Ed Schultz was man enough to apologize. So far you have ranted then made weak ass excuses.
BULLSHIT, JN (Jolly Nimrod). Basically every other comment on this blog is a screed against corporate America and "rich people". And I've never even listened to frigging Limbaugh (yeah, I've heard some of it second hand), you frigging automaton. What an ass!!......You see, I DON'T have empathy for you.
Then you get quite angry when called on it,
Thank you will for proving my point once again.

Ahh I see Will........call names and attack anyone who doesnt say exactly what YOU want to hear then cry like a baby when you are called on what YOU say.
I know I'm like extremely good looking and all so it's totally hard to live up to my standards, being that they are set so high (total sarcasm), but the one thing we can ALL agree on has got to be that the helmet Ms. Palin is sporting has got to GO! What is up with it being so HIGH like that? Would that even protect her cranium if she were to get into an accident? She needs a size or two larger. Did her vanity get in the way of this? Did she refuse to go for the XL helmet and opt for the medium instead just because she wanted to "think" she has a normal sized head. I mean I have an extremely large head too. I have to wear a L helmet when I ride my scooter. That helmet is a BIG fashion FAUX PAS Ms. Palin. SHAME ON YOU!
ah, getting back to Sarah... it seems that she still cannot write proper notes and has taken to scribbling on her hand again.
A quick google image search, Sarah Palin Rolling Thunder hand pops up the images.
...which leaves me with the thought... "She can't do better?"
The woman is really only interested in furthering her self as a 'brand' to generate money.
Journalism dies a little more with every corporate media word wasted on the half-wit Twit of the Tundra.
She represents, more than anyone, the ignorant, celebrity worshiping cult of personality that has taken over our political landscape.
The sooner this arrogant vindictive person is forgotten, the better off our country will become.
FJ why did you delete your comment?
@ Dave Dubya, But what in the hell will I do whilst getting my quarterly (lol) pedicure without Palin? She is responsible for bringing politics to the tabloid ragazines. I can actually kind of read a rag-mag, since that's all that's in a parlor, and be quasi-entertained (I didn't say informed).
Mary,
Not that I'm in any position to know otherwise about parlor reading; I thought that kind of place was why vampire books were written...
people like Palin and Bachmann are entertainment. It's fun showing America what the republican party turned into the past few yrs. it's our job to highlight the insanity that is the GOP.
we really can't say people like Palin and Bachmann will NEVER be president, especially after the wingnuts put W in the WH for 2 terms. now Bachmann is saying out loud, God told her to run, no not run a marathon, RUN FOR POTUS....GFL.....
According to Rolling Thunder spokesperson, Christine Colborne, Sarah Palin WAS invited to the rally. She was invited by a member named Michael DiPaolo.......Hm, I guess that they just needed some extra wenches, whores, and pieces of excrement.
Hey Sue,
Because Sarah Palin is not all that important. It does suck that FOX is paying for this huge bus tour for a potential candidate. Certainly a violation of some type of ethics. But that's no surprise. And yes, fallen comrades, MIAs, POWs these are sacred things. Sarah is just icky.
Obviously Ted Shpak, another organization spokesperson (NOT RETIRED) thought she shouldn't be there, or he wouldn't have called her a "distraction".
Sue, your post really upset Will. On his blog he said, "I'm not a humongous Palin fan. But I'm beginning to dislike her detractors even more".
Why? Because you called her a "media whore" (but not an actual whore). I guess he doesn't know what the difference is.
Palin is a total joke its hard to tell the difference between the Tina Fey imitation and the real thing..........anyone who thinks that uneducated fool has a shot to become president is probably a bigger fool than she is.
"Who's more foolish the fool or the fool who follows him?"
If Sarah resembled the Tina Fey character, everybody would love her!

Jolly you notice how Will ALWAYS frames his attacks and criticisms of the left as right wing talking points while "pretending" to be "fair and balanced" yet he NEVER criticizes the right anywhere near as vigorously............look how Will tries to assign his criticism of Ed Schultz to the entire left but never seems to do the same to anyone on the right he might criticize a certain person here or there but never the Right wing as a monolithic whole.
Same for particular bloggers..........notice how Will constantly criticizes liberal bloggers for being mean or vulgar but NEVER criticizes his good buddy Rusty who has used multiple sock puppets for close to a decade to attack and silence liberal bloggers, and who is so far on the fringe right wing he's clinging off the right side of the planet by his fingernails..........More of Willl's "fair and balanced schtick.

Exactly.........Tina Fey is hot........and she's funny.......everyone loves Tina Fey!!
Hm, I guess that they just needed some extra wenches, whores, and pieces of excrement.
Because you used the plural, and Sarah Palin included two of her daughters on her trip,
You cannot be including them in your derogatory attack can you?
She would have shown up at a firefighters' rally if they wore tighter outfits.
In my screechiest, loudest most annoying fingernails down the chalkboard voice...I Just LOVE the Smell of Emissions! Aaaaaaaahh!
I guess I don't have much faith in the voters, they could put a Palin or Bachmann in the WH...it happened before, remember?
She shoulda brought her mechanical bull on the bus tour to pump up the crowds
No correction on the "she wasn't invited" error. WHAT A SURPRISE!......Oh, and, just for the record, Mike, I just chastised Rusty for his having calling Meghan McCain a fat so and so.......As for my "not attacking Rusty", I only attack people who lie and distort my record/attack me. Get it?
Palin was asked today.."when will you make the decision to run for POTUS?"
She said OH Maybe in a few weeks but I'm in no hurry...just what I said media whore, raking in the money for her personal use cuz that will end when she decides to run...UGH she is hideous...
Will, I googled once again and the stories are plenty... this one seems to be the norm,
Responding to what he said was a press release announcing Sarah Palin would visit the annual “Rolling Thunder” veterans’ bike run in Washington, D.C., as part of her bus tour along the East Coast, a spokesman for the group says she was never invited.
“This is not a political event—maybe she’s coming because she knows we have half a million people in town,” Ted Shpak, legislative director for Rolling Thunder, told MSNBC. “The way it came out she’s saying we endorsed her. We’re not endorsing anybody, and she’s not speaking on our stage during our program.”
the guy you mentioned Will, is a former board member, sounds like plain 'ole old man infatuation, not wanting her there for any other reason. So to me, the way she talked to the media, the way she dressed and walked thru the crowds, the way she made herself the center of attention... that's a media whore.
She was invited. The spokesperson confirmed it.
Another bald-faced lie, Mike. I DID NOT tar the entire left with Ed Schultz's line. I even told Lisa that the problem ISN'T liberals (I like and respect President Obama, pal, and I've defended him). It's the mean-spirited, far-left, angry, "the government owes me something", "I hate the rich", "anybody to the right of Bernie Sanders in a Reich winger", "anybody who has a conservative friend must also be a Reich winger" blogosphere. That's where the frigging problem lies.
I did 6-7 posts in which I hammered/ridiculed Donald Trump for his despicable treatment of the President. Why didn't you notate THAT, Mike? I mean, I know why you didn't. But why don't you tell THEM why you didn't. Be a frigging man for once in your life, would you?
Sure she was invited.
BY ONE PERSON!
It doesn't matter if she was invited, or not. She had the free will to decide not to attend, but her interest lie in promoting herself as much as possible, to earn as much as possible, no matter who she uses to promote herself. She's not running for President, she's trying to make money.

I'm not a prude, Russ (you know that!), but now it looks like you're being mean just for the sake of being mean. Let the progressives show their true colors with their vitriol toward Palin."
Oh no Will..........this is from YOUR own blog giving Rusty a far right wing troll that attacks liberal bloggers a mild rebuke while seamlessly attributing any criticism of Palin justified or not to all progressives and attempting to portray ALL progressives as vitriolic and rabid with your dishonest sweeping generalization
Time and time again you attempt to slimily stifle any criticism of people you dont want criticized.......I will like who I want to like and criticize who ever I want to criticize I dont need your permission.
You were dishonest when you tried to attribute Ed Schultz's comment to all liberals and your dishonest when you to tried to CLAIM all progressives treat Palin like she and Rusty treat progressive bloggers or politicians.
For someone who CLAIMS to be so "fair and balanced" you need to stop with the dishonest sweeping generalizations and false equivalencies that right wingers always use to stop liberals from criticizing the right like the right criticizes progressives and liberals.
@ Mike and Will,
I appreciate your visits and comments but can we not turn this thread into a personal fight? Thanks!
Whoa... this has just gotten to be a flame war. The point, still, was Sarah Palin. The issue, still, is that she brings shrill talking points, vague generalizations, and a small cult of personality worship with her. Nothing else.
The Tea Party movement, again a rather discombobulated emotional menage defying actual description, but thick with emotion has more or less been disenfranchised by the candidates they supported. On many issues. That is a better talking point that a small town mayor who resigned the only significant political office she was elected to.
Sarah is a distraction...whose presence really has no point in national political debate. I left a comment on a different blog that was discussing this:
"//Instead of discussing real problems,//
I totally agree. Except, Sarah has become, perversely, a real problem, and accentuates the lack of real dialogue. There is a growing thought, on the tubes and elsewhere, to just ignore her, like the screaming kindergarten kid that gets put in a corner.
America, in a sense, has become a blog.... and she is the ultimate troll. Sarah=delete, delete, delete"
... and I think that is valid here.... she really is, in any sense, anti-intellectual. Now, that may be stand alone point,and may tinder further 'flame comments'...but I believe it.
I am not a Romney fan...by any means, but in my evaluation, as flawed as that maybe, he is the most likely qualified candidate.
Palin should be ignored and rational discussion should be on Mitt....
what say?
I'll work on that Jim...so you think MITT WILL BE THE NOMINEE?? Thats a good thing cuz the religious right won't vote for him, guess they won't vote at all. They'll spin it as a sign of end times..NO CANDIDATE, whata we do whata we do????
No one will vote for a candidate that wants to repeal the same legislation he once supported and got passed in his own state.
I hope it is him.
I don't know about Mitt being the nominee.... but of all the others... none have anywhere close to his credentials...that's all I am saying.
I last heard Perry from Texas is going to jump in... over 200 death warrants signed during his administration.... almost 50% of all executions in the US since it was re instituted. Romney sounds good vs. Perry. Not that I would support Mitt over Obama... but I would like to see a reasonable choice... and it sure ain't Palin.
The weird thing about republicans today is that they won't go with anyone who plays nicely. Any candidate who wishes to be taken seriously has to prove that they will play hardball, never give an inch, scorch the earth, destroy the forests, frack, drill and remove mountaintops, only raise taxes on the poor and elderly, subsidize big oil, deregulate energy and banking, eliminate any consumer protection agency, repeal health insurance reform, you name it... You have to be a real dickhead to make it in the republican party today.
Remove when Palin tried to pass herself off as a great reformer? That was rich. She's a regular Bull Moose Party trust-buster!
Ah, that's Remember when... I guess I was more tired than I thought last night. I'll bet a lot of people were wishing that someone would remove any and all Palins.
I just saw Bob Schieffer reporting on The Early Show that, according to Pew Research, 40% of Republicans are dissatisfied with their party's field of candidates. Good news. But then Bob goes on to suggest that if Chris Christie entered the race, he might be the shot in the arm the Republicans need!!! You know? I've been wondering for some time if Schieffer's losing his analytical skills.
"Palin is a total joke.........."
Actually, she's a total DUNCE.
She was in Boston during her Bus-O-Rama tour and, speaking extemporaneously, informed the people around her during one of her stop-offs that Paul Revere began his ride by "ringing bells" and tellin' those British that they weren't going to take away our arms. IOW, she believes that Paul Revere's ride was about the 2nd Amendment! Something that DID NOT EXIST at the beginning of the American Revolution!
Between Palin and Bachmann, we've now witnessed the complete mangling and dumbass rewrite of our history.
These two women need to go back to school and learn their American history and stop spreading lies and disinformation about our country.
Palin is a dunce. And we will continue to call her out every time she says anything as stupid and ignorant as she did in Boston.
These two women are supported by a large part of the GOP, which apparently thinks its cute when their presidential hopefuls make asses of themselves.
But then Bob goes on to suggest that if Chris Christie entered the race, he might be the shot in the arm the Republicans need!!!
More like shot in the foot, although he certainly appeals to the "I got mine" crowd. If he did become president, with all of the extra food he could get his hands on, Air Force One would have to be a C-130 transport after a year or two.
When someone like Sarah Palin can make it as far as she has, it can mean only one thing and it's not a particularly good sign: We are living in a culture that has been custom-tailored for idiots. When a person who can barely put two coherent sentences together without the aid of a teleprompter becomes one of the best-selling non-fiction authors of the decade, that's usually a pretty good indicator that society is spiraling downward at a fairly decent clip. Fasten your seat belts, kiddies!
part of me agrees Tom and part of me hopes you are wrong...
Always a pleasure to have you here, thanks!
Wow Sue, it was getting pretty wild earlier in this thread. It was the online equivalent of one of those barroom brawls you’d see in an old western!
As for Sarah Palin, it’s a toss-up for me as to whether or not she is trailer park trash. However, there’s no doubt she’s a media whore. I don’t think she has any intention of running for POTUS. This bus tour is just a way to get her name back in the headlines because she has started to fade over the last few months. The reason I don’t think she’ll run is because there is still lots of money for her to make off the “Lollipop Guild” (aka the suckers who think Palin is presidential material). Instead of running for president, she can continue earning cash from speeches in which she criticizes everything President Obama says/does and spouts tired, right-wing talking points. Also, Sarah isn’t up to the task of dealing with any of the tough (but fair) questions she’d have to answer outside of the Fox/right-wing talk radio bubble. I’ve seen her completely miss some of the softballs that Hannity and O’Reilly have tossed at her. There is no way in hell she’d survive an interview with someone like Rachel Maddow.
