LOL, If I send you my password to Desperate Singles, will you pick out my next GF? Please!


richard...can we talk, i have a candidate for you....

Oh my. I feel sorry for her. She just doesn't get it. I wish she would have had someone else write the resignation. She rambled on and in her usual, poorly constructed sentences. She is SO out the league. Oh well.

If you Google her speech, you can find it somewhere.... oh, let's see is I can give you the link, should you want to listen.

If I screwed up the link, it's on YouYube......

This month's issue of Vanity Fair also has an interesting article about Ms. Palin.

And one about Julia Childs - also a frequent target of Saturday Night Live...who could take it!

[sasvermont]

The link I have in the previous post links only to the second part of the speech. Somewhere on YouTube in a link to part 1. I listened to both parts just moments ago, and I am still trying to remember what my ears heard. Someone at one of the links commented that she must have gone off her medications before she gave the speech. It was one run on sentence after another.

The first part of the speech had a couple of birds flopping around behind her, as well as a baby crying in the background noise. I found that rather entertaining.

All in all, the speech was confusing at best. Maybe she didn't take Public Speaking 101 in college or high school.

Bless her heart.

P. S. Any bets on how quickly a call was made to Tina Fey for a SNL visit!

I loved the ducks in the background

As for Tina Fey, I got the distinct impression that she wanted no part of SP in the future.

[sasvermont]

I suspect Tina doesn't need the money or exposure so returning to SNL to play SP would be a stretch, surely. I wonder though - they would probably pay her a small fortune to do a cameo.

I really would like to see all of the hoopla go away for SP and her family, but if she keeps her family etc. on display or in the limelight, the negative press will keep up. Someone needs to save her from herself.

Maybe she should write a book - as stated in a couple of articles I've read. I hope her writing is better than her public speaking. Maybe she will have a co-author as many do. In fact, I encourage it.

I am going to give this topic a rest now. As you can tell, she is not my favorite person.

I've just now finished the Vanity Fair article. It did manage to make
Palin a sympathetic figure near the end.

[Edwina's Secretary]

From the Vanity Fair article...one of my favorite examples of her previously cited "eloquence"!

... she stopped to talk to a local television reporter about what she had learned in the campaign just concluded. “I don’t think it’s changed me at all,” she insisted, clutching a cup of coffee as her breath steamed into the frosty air. “You know, it’s pretty brutal, the time consumption there, and the energy that has to be spent in order to get out and about with the message on a national level, a great appreciation for other candidates who have gone through this, but also just a great appreciation for this great country. There are so many good Americans who are just desiring of their government to kind of get out of the way and allow them to grow and progress, and allow our businesses to grow and progress. So, great appreciation for those who share that value.”

Liz...I am curious what made you feel Palin a sympathetic figure? I reread it last night but could not tell.

It was refreshing to read that a) she uses a speechwriter (inlcuidng for her much raved acceptance speech) AND b)she uses a teleprompter. I thought it so strange and unprofessional that she would not.

Palin was given a speech writer while she was a VP candidate, and she used a teleprompter while she was the VP candidate. As Gov she writes her own speeches and doesnt use a teleprompter. For you to call it unprofessional shows to me some people want to be told what to do, that some people want to be ruled.

If RICHARD spoke about a female elected official the way you speak about Mrs Palin you would accuse him of hating women and need a JB smoothie.

Caught a little of the Russian press conference.


We did well until the Q&A part of the program.

How does Um, Ah, Uh translate into Russian?

I like Ms. Sanford!

She's the kind of woman that represents some of the females in the United States today.

They will not let go of a sham marriage, they will do anything to deflect THEIR part in the sham marriage, she is hell bent to stay 'relevant' in the marriage by giving the Governor a biatch slap any time she thinks he slips up.

I was informed that Ms. S is a self contained person who does not need the money or public adulation.

That said?

LOL-She's a lame duck wife, waiting to finish out her term as the Current First Lady of SC. After that, she'll write a book about how she went thru hell during the marriage and his term as Gov.

Alaska needs a governor.

I wonder what Ms. Sanford's qualifications are.


Street Rat Crazy, Baby!

had never, ever heard a woman publically take as much shiat as this woman.

Some of the things the MEDIA reported about her was really bizarre.

ANd some of the comics were merciless.

Hmmmmm same song...different tune? Yup!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

One thing, if Sara Palin runs for President she won't need to worry about getting my vote. If she can't handle being a govenor, she sure as heck couldn't handle being a President.

This is the paragraph I was referring to. For a brief few minutes, I could
see her as a human being. In the end, she really is her own worst enemy.


"In Evansville, though, Palin concentrated on the task at hand: an emphatic defense of the anti-abortion cause. But in doing so she made a startling confession about what she thought when she learned she was pregnant at 43 with her youngest child, Trig, who arrived in April 2008, as the world now knows, with Down syndrome. “I had found out that I was pregnant while out of state first,” Palin told the crowd. “While out of state, there just for a fleeting moment, I thought, Nobody knows me here. Nobody would ever know. I thought, Wow, it is easy to think maybe of trying to change the circumstances and no one would know—no one would ever know. Then when my amniocentesis results came back, showing what they called abnormalities—oh, dear God—I knew, I had instantly an understanding, for that fleeting moment, why someone would believe it could seem possible to change those circumstances, just make it all go away, get some normalcy back in life.” It is almost impossible not to be touched by the rawness of her confession, even if it is precisely this choice that Palin believes no other woman should ever have, not even in the case of rape or incest.
