He he he. . . she's just one mess after the other!

[Jigglypuff]

That, "screw the political correctness" remark - is that from Alaska Independence Party founder, Joe Vogler?

[Virginia Plain]

Shannyn,

You are made of much stronger stuff than I.

I REALLY tried to listen to the "Wailing Dudess", but 51 seconds was as much as I could bear before I was struck by a sudden urge to throw myself off a cliff!

There is not enough money in the world to pay me to sit through a Spalin Screech.

There is nothing more disturbing than watching another republican quoting from President Reagan, who was one of the worst President this country has ever produced! President Reagan (just to give you an idea of who he was) was the same President who didn't care enough about helping HIV victims right up until Rock Hudson (his close friend) was diagnosed with the disease himself, hmmm, the typical republican attitude!

[mychagall]

roch20,

You are absolutely right! Don't worry about what people say. Most republicans don't have the sophistication, the knowledge, the pure insight or moxy to understand how bad a president he was. The republicans didn't have anybody they could truly look up to other than Lincoln. Additionally, the republican party of Lincoln's time was much different than it is now and more akin to the Democratic party of today.

I agree, it is truly sad that Reagan didn't lift a finger to help his pal Rock Hudson until it was too late. Thank God Elizabeth Taylor, Rock's other good friend, help change things for the better regarding medicine and research..

You're not serious? Dig deep enough into the archives (try not to trigger a gag reflex) you'll most likely find Newt's source. Ask Garrison Keillor; these two need visual aids to even SEE "above average".

If they want to attract voters under 35, stop reaching back to Reagan.

[skepticalindenver]

Slightly more articulate than the beauty pageant contestant in South Carolina talking about maps......very slight difference. I'm embarrassed the country I live in could elect this woman to a position higher than local dog catcher.

[lis60]

SO TRUE! I am horrified that there are people in this country who think she is fantastic! They are nuts!

[Roxanna]

I am amazed at the constant referral to the "Liberal Media" ....

Who exactly is that.???
Where is that station???
And Who are the Corporations sponsoring it ???
Freedom for whom???.... "little Christain Soldiers"???

"PAINFUL".... AS ALWAYS LISTENING TO PALIN....

[Freesia2]

The liberal media is anybody who expects someone in higher office to be able to speak in coherent sentences, not lie incessantly and then smile another lie went caught in a lie, and steal other people's material. In short, people who see through a fraud like Palin. Just as she viewed "real" Americans as anyone who was voting for her.

[poaster]

Here is part three. Even more thought provoking.

I guess it's time for Sarah to start her own 'party'. She has p issed on the GOP party again.
Mudflats had someone post this link.

----------­----------­----------­------
Sarah Palin’s on-again, off-again appearance at Monday night’s gala GOP fundraising dinner is off — again.

After being invited — for a second time — to speak to the annual joint fundraiser for the National Republican Congressional Committee and the National Republican Senatorial Committee, Palin was told abruptly Saturday night that she would not be allowed to address the thousands of Republicans there after all.
----------­----------­----------­----------­----
Reports are she may refuse to attend. Sounds kind of like a petulent High School Child...

[Kristin262]

Every time I hear her voice I want to cough up a fur ball.

[Kristin262]

and ask her to sit down and shut up...

[Adrasteia]

Is the delightful Mrs. Palin reading from notes? Notes??? Aren't those the equivalent of a teleprompter? Outrageous...

[Bigunsmom]

Nope, teleprompter makes him look like he is watching a tennis match.

[PanFx]

Oh, and that is SUCH a barrier to delivering his message, isn't it? Pfffftt!

You must have the attention span of a flea.

[Bigunsmom]

Hey where is the teleprompter????LOL

[poaster]

Yeah really, all I see are marionette strings.

[Cullen Stalin]

In some parts she doesn't even know how the clauses go together, she emphasizes the wrong words in the sentences... that is because she is READING HER SPEECH (poorly). Do you really care that much about the medium of the text's delivery? Most politicians read their speeches - some simply also understand what the words mean.

[mamalisa38]

Wow! Sorry you had to sit through that Shannyn. I can't imagine living with someone with a voice like that. I truly believe I'd go insane. I wish she would stop going on about those strings, her own legislature has already said that they found none. I can't imagine how she thinks she has a snowball's chance in hell of ever winning the nomination for pres. What is going on in her mind?

[2008CaliforniaFan]

Palin is like the 'VERY popular High School Girl'.... (she dresses like one in those red 'shoes' too)

The Daily Kos has decided to spread the story as well.
