Slog - Comments on Sarah Palin! http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/09/sarah_palin_just_said_about_her_husband 7:39 pm: Sarah Palin talking about her husband: "It all makes for quite a package." 7:40: Palin is courting the "children with special needs" vote. I gotta say, whoever wrote this speech is a genius. 7:42 pm: "The difference between a hockey mom and a pitt bull? Lipstick." 7:45 pm: "Here's a little news flash for reporters and commentators. I'm not going to Washington to seek their good opinion. I'm going to Washington to serve this great country." 7:51 pm: It's amazing, the difference between this Sarah Palin and the uncoached, unpolished Sarah Palin of last week. Whoever wrote her...

No, it's definitely the drinking game. I should have never chosen the word "liberal". But I'd still do her.

She obviously has lots of weak spots but the Republicans know how to lie and cheat when it comes down to the wire so she might actually be able to strenghthen the ticket. On the other hand, it could be considered a terrible mistake adding credibility to the argument that McCain has poor judgment. The main point is to turn on the heat and make sure this is not a close race in early November.

The Obama attack was disgusting and unnecessary, also.
Mayor of 8000 people has actual responsibility, community organizer doesn't?
She should work on her strengths instead of trying to show she's better than Obama. At anything.

But I wonder how her hits and the crowd's hoots will stick after he graciously let her off the hook. She seems desperately bloodthirsty.

You know, the place where Barack Obama tried to help a disaffected population without the benefit of a money pipeline from Washington, courtesy of Ted Stevens, or where the citizenry didn't get $1,000 checks each year courtesy of oil companies.

Let's see the Ice Weasel belittle community organization in Pittsburgh, or Baltimore, or Oakland, or Atlanta, or DC, Atlanta, Tallahassee, New Orleans, or any major metropolitan area suffering from industrial decay, unemployment and massive foreclosures.

The Democrats--I hope, deliciously, in the person of Joe Biden with an assist from Obama--are going to disassemble this reactionary hack and ship her back to Anchorage in a box.

We haven't lost a goddamn thing. Not by a long shot. If you think we've lost it because of this ratty, vagina sporting carbon copy of Dick Cheney, shut your fucking mouth an open your checkbook.

@ 95 - Hitler? Seriously? Like, I understand this is the internet, and that it's Slog, and half the point of both is to be a stupid, anonymous asshole, but Hitler?

World leaders have Biden on speed-dial, dude. Foreign policy is not like a suntan. Palin can't lay on a Russian-facing Alaskan beach and just soak up the foreign policy.

The extemists can't be psychotic on both sides, but only in the Republican party do these extemists get such weight.

The person who won Time's man of the year and really didn't say much in substance, but had the power of charisma to really stir people's nationalism.

Maybe I pulled a Ted Turner on this one ... I don't see her gassing any Jews any time soon. But if this is how she rises to power ... ouch.

She won't. They won't. She offers nothing but hate and fear in a new sexier package, and people will watch and enjoy the show, but then remember they still don't have health insurance and still can't get a job and the environment is still going downhill and, and and AND. They won't win, but man she, they, all of them are so damn scary.

Your comment "Whoever wrote her comments from the rally in Ohio last week has clearly been taken out back and shot" made me roar with laughter. Great stuff.

I don't think we've lost it, but she definitely spooked me. I'm going to keep my fucking mouth open AND open my checkbook (just made my first donation to Obama/Biden). Hope that works for you!

Palin may have had some tough zingers, but she's going to need a lot more than that for the debates. I predict she will greatly regret all those hits about "experience" sometime during the VP debates.

Everything she said tonight is prime fodder for attack ads, ESPECIALLY all her hot air about saying "no thanks" to the Gravina Island bridge. Lies said with a straight face are still lies, and I will cherish watching each one of them get thrown back in her teeth.

Despite what others are saying, I didn't think she was that good. She sounded stiff and rehearsed, and it definitely looked like she was reading off a teleprompter.

Whoever said that the baby Trig should be home in bed, right on. Poor little guy looks tired!
