Depends on which abuse of powers - the tanning room she paid for.

In reply to You know those females, they

It's simple - the fact that she has a vagina or was a state Miss some years ago is irrelevant. That she used that Miss title as a college scholarship shouldn't be insulted (e.g. did she really exploit her looks so that MILF is warranted? They got the 60+ year old Hillary for showing "too much cleavage" ) That people (including the moronic press) couldn't get straight the basic number of schools Palin went to just shows standard smear tactics. And she did get a degree and achieved reasonable success as a TV announcer.

That every bit of her caretaking of her children was analyzed was basically unfair, as Obama managed to work out of a different state/district than his kids, and no one asked him, "aren't you neglecting your kids?" That she spent money on clothes during a campaign was again sexist - no one bothered McCain about his expensive shoes, which he needs to be on his feet. Her job was to come out of nowhere and mesmerize people - that takes a lot of support, including the right wardrobe.

That she was very good at coming out of nowhere and rousing a crowd was scary (and competent - more competent than Kerry in that regard).

That her handle on issues was tentative and facile was obvious - and should have been easy prey. However, she's very good at memorable slogans/soundbites, and her opponents spent most of their time digging into family trivia than confronting her unworkable.

[The "what is the Bush doctrine" was a "gotcha" question. Was it to pre-emptively attack & invade countries you don't like? Whisk people off to torture? Occupy the entire Mideast for its oil? Move to mercenary military-for-hire tied to large corrupt sole-source contracts? Support the rich by unsustainable tax cuts? I'm still not sure.]

That she quit her job as governor and has been a total flake in ditching her "presidential bus tours" should be bashed as many times as needed. And while her attempt at latching onto the Tea Party has been relatively successful, she should fail by the same standards where the Tea Party fails. Of course many Dems can't seem to figure out the Tea Party is still winning even while theoretically losing. It's depressing.

Dole? Wait. Wut?

You know those females, they just can't help spending frivolously.

Neither can that blow-dried poof, Edwards, if I recall the arc of scandal past (apparently, that isn't the *only* thing he can't avoid doing frivolously ;)

Your point really doesn't seem to have a whole lot of credibility though. I mean, you learned about Newt's issues the same way you learned about Sarah Palin's. Newt isn't a national candidate yet ... do you think if he becomes one that the issues won't be rolled out center-stage again? And if he doesn't are you really comparing apples and oranges?

Also, don't you think that when someone pops up out of nowhere to stand for the second-highest office in the land - literally, secretly whisked from Alaska and presented at the convention as a first introduction - that EVERY minor detail would (and should) be amplified just because of the small amount of available data and the exceedingly short period of time a nation had to scramble and assemble enough information about who the woman actually was to make an semi-informed choice (and subsequently gage just how fucking insane John McCain must be to select her).

I never got your thing with her. Still don't.

Well, I would certainly

In reply to Is this sexist tripe really

Well, I would certainly nominate her for most winktacular vice presidential nominee I've personally observed.

And Rick Perry? Ok. But at some point it became a valid question if the man has had a stroke or something ... bad flashbacks to the later years of Regan, IMO.

Herman Cain I would place as her exact equivalent in every way that matters for a candidate ... with the exception that he had not had the opportunity to demonstratively abuse the powers of an elected office before unleashing his buffoonery upon America.

In reply to The Republican Race for the Presidency: The Greatest Book-Selling Scam in History

No Democratic candidate would ever do anything like that.

{Edit: in case the distinction between this book the other two Obama titles mentioned isn't clear, this title was released in what can only be described as a marketing approach fully positioned to capitalize on what was a foregone decision to make a run for president (pretty much like Herman Cain's). And, while I'm not knocking Obama's tender thoughts regarding his daughters ... he even released this book from the White House (possibly donating proceeds to a cool charity?). Now, this might be misconstrued to be implying that indeed Democrats are no different than republicans. But upon deeper inspection, not necessarily so, it seems perhaps equally plausible that Barack Obama is, deep-down, 97% republican.}

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah manlove.
