Another insightful journalist tells it like it is.
More than 10 writers and a few lawyers holed up in a hotel room for 3 days working with Sarah Palin on a script originally written for a male running mate.
(hi and bye, Tim P.)
2 months to the big day, folks.
Stop this madness. -
Pepe Escobar "meet the lipstick pitbull"
good one.
On NPR this morning I heard one commenter say she reminded him of " eyes of Caligula and lips of Marilyn Monroe" .
thanks for the interview Vierotchka
by the way, when she "bared her teeth", I had to stop listening to her.

I like 'The REAL News'. It's the way news should be. They give the info say it how it was and leave it at that. All without adding dirt into the mix. Knew nothing about it untill I found Current:)
Thanks V for the post.

If Big Brother gave a damn about us this would be shown in place of the truth ministry err - FOX news.
But Big Brother is an ass that would rather keep his people in the dark so that he can keep/stay in power :)

"Drill Baby Drill" and why not? If Alaska is like the United Arab Emerit for oil and Sarah is like a Sheikh, is this not like understanding foreign affairs after all?
MacCain got his " Elli May Clampett/Terminator" without asking Arnold.
I did not know how the Republicans were going to bring some life into the election program (it was looking like curdled milk for the longest time).
Sarah "terminator" is straight out of central casting and ready to skin bears for breakfast.She is a better speech giver than Bush. She was a sports caster after all. Reagan was the best at that speech giving , but you want someone who can't speak?
I am a firm believer in the Jed Clampett (Beverly Hillbillies) America and was waiting for the next Jed Clampett to vote for. He would be a Trust worthy, honest , straight shootin and Bible believing frontier man like Abraham Lincoln. I could not have imagined a better man for the job of V. P. since all our war heros are too old and or dead.
"Rosy The Riveter" and aging Uncle Sam MacCain just might do the job, and bring some pride back to American Soil.OR, we could just give it to "Mr. New Deal Islamic America Guy" and hang with our homies in the World Hood and forget about that old mean America all together.
Socialism is the latest trend anyway and individuals are far too unruly to know what is good for them after all. We should vote for who ever can draw the biggest crowd at a rally, yes this is the best idea yet. -
I'd like to see the Bowie knife she packs for cutting off people's balls. You can see the hubby is a whipped sled dog who is so desperate for a voice that he attends meetings from fringe offshoot groups. private ibber

Talk about a pot/kettle, goose/gander moment - ROTFLMAO!
Republicans sure don't like it when the same jabs are turned around and pointed back at them, do they?
