Jeez...First her mother-in-law disses her by saying she's not sure what she brings to the party and then her "family" releases this photo. With family like this, who needs enemies? If you don't have anything nice to say, just keep your mouth (and your photo album) shut....

[SherryIndianapolis]

This woman was just picked to be used. The Repub PTB know this woman has no business in any national (or international) position of power.

They are counting on the basest thoughts of men (why are we seeing these photos? Better question-why do I get the feeling that there are an abundance of them and this is not even the tip of the iceberg?) and the "joy" of women (She's just like us!! NOT...) to get them through this.

Don't care anything abut America or helping the country overcome our economic and international issues. This woman is ONLY the swinging watch in the room........

[geobushono]

ok,ok so we have lots of commenter's who aren't offended by this NORMAL pic of a (then)normal, college student.
all you defenders of palin...because that is what you're doing.......all you defenders in high dudgeon, are missing the point, that it's not about personal freedom, it's about shocking some repugs into abandoning palin/mccain for her immodest, flaunting her pre repug body.............it ISN'T about you...or Democratic Values this time......it's just repugs sacrificing their own......settle down and watch this rare cannibalism.
palin doesn't need us to defend her about anything.......

[poco767c]

The issue if there is one, here is not the t-shirt, but the fact that her family chose to release it.
It just seems very strange.

[JimMan35]

I'm wondering: Don't they love her?

[000Jade000]

Doesn't seem that her family likes her. Didn't her mother-in-law recently say that she doesn't know what Palin adds to the ticket? Anyway, the issue seems more along the lines of a so-called feminist wearing a shirt like that.

[ThatSharkeyGeezer]

I still like her better than Hillary. And she's clearly got better management skills.

Obama/Biden '08

[waiguoren]

Clearly!

[FinsterBaby]

Not sure where you get the "better management skills" opinion from. I've read that around 14 members of her administration and her husband all pressured the public safety commissioner to fire her ex-brother-in-law allegedly without her knowledge. To me that sounds like she doesn't control her staff too well.

[fishsandwichesr2good]

OMG, she wanted to fire a cop who tasered a boy and threatened several adults? What a scandal!

[DCtrain]

I think some of Palin's positions are not on target. Also, in the event that she'd have to take charge, that would be a very scary day. I think we'd have to go through competency and impeachment hearings. Hillary on the other hand. While I don't care for the Clinton apparatus, that is, the Bill apparatus. Hillary does stand for the right things and she's got a tried and true track-record. So, if Hill had to step in and take charge. I would be more confident and the country would be respected internationally. If Palin were at the helm, can you imagine Putin having to take her seriously? There are far better Republican Women than Palin... far better for America.

Yawn

AP Breaking News as re-reported by Huffington Post!

20 years ago, VP Candidate Sarah Palin had a t-shirt that was a pun about being broke, that had to do with her breasts! Because, you know, as a woman she has breasts, and she was a college student! OMG!

Kids, let that be a lesson to you - those humorous t-shirts that you're wearing today? Yeah, just try running for public office, like, ever. We will track down photos. We will show them on TV.

Because we can.

[repugnicansfearme]

Spoken like a true Puma.

[Tommygun264]

Judging from everything I have read and heard thus far, the fact that she is a woman is the main reason she got tapped for VP. This old photo illustrates this point. It's called irony - look it up.

[creationwaits]

You know, there is some truth to what you say actually. Can you imagine running for national office 20 years from now? The press will do nothing but search through the web archives, find websites you published when you were 8. The HuffPost headlines will be "Republican front runner thought sister was jerk; sister was convinced candidate would never amount to anything, was scum."

[Foolacious]

I have to agree with you here, pakaal. This just humanises her. "See, she was a goofy college kid who said and did some immature things, like Obama and anybody else." This isn't going to hurt her at all.

[Gary47]

Heck, if I was running y'all would be digging up my photos.

[RushLiberal]

AMERICA - How does it feel to be the LAUGHING stock of the WORLD?

[doctordoubt]

Only if we let this comic duo in the White House.

[sb250guy]

We're taking it in stride. After all, we're quite good at it.

[LiarLiarIraqsOnFire]

Unfortunately, we've become accustomed to it over the past eight years.

**What's new?

[GaiusLucilius]

What's next--"I may not know much about foreign policy, but my makeup is expertly applied?"

The message on that pink shirt goes against everything that the women I most admire stood and stand for. She's indicating to the world that she thinks her deficits can be made up by her appearance--she's buying into sexism, which values women primarily for their looks. Looks are top priority, and looks will trump other qualities every time, according to sexist thinking. I know that she's a young woman in this picture, but given the culture she's been around I doubt that her thinking would have been exposed to more salutary influences causing her to modify it.

[GaiusLucilius]

My T-shirt slogan:

We will be broke
And Palin will be busted
Under the McCain tax scheme

[Kohimama]

Poor thing, she has no idea what she has gotten herself into.

[the964kid]

These types of pics won't define her unless these kinda 'blasts from the past' becomes more abundant. That being said, this pic definitely doesn't inspire confidence.

[Loobie]

And your confidence is inspired by Obama hanging out with communists when he was in college? Which seems more American, the t-shirt or the communism? Remember I asked "American" which doesn't mean what you want America to become.

[QueenCeleste]

In Idaho that very might well pass for haute couture.

[AtTheMoon]

nice.

where are you from? New Jersey?

[nubret2008]

Folks concentrate on the important issues, not on Dougheyed-Dubya!

[EJA]

On the back of the shirt it says, "Praise Jesus", so quit pickin' on her!
