Sarah, tell everyone why you have an Israeli flag in your office.

Maybe Romeny and Rudy's speeches weren't clear enough (for a very few).

The MSM made her the underdog.

Okay Sarah, start easy and get a head of steam. And stop saying "Thank you."

This rudy speech is making me throw up a little in my mouth.

Sarah Palin has more executive experience and leadership than all of the Presidents of the United States in U.S. history combined.

She'll loosen up as she goes along.

Heh - she's already started.

This is so important for women like me. Women who've looked for an American Thatcher to rise. A self-made woman, who isn't just riding on "a woman's right to choose" and "equal pay for equal work." A true woman, not a political playing card.

I'm psyched.

I have never been enamored with a political candidate before, but I am now. I was born four months after Reagan took office, so I was too young to enjoy those heady days. I can only imagine that what I am witnessing now is similar to the inspiration that Sarah Palin is inspiring within me right now.

And, no, my enchantment with her has nothing to do with her physical appearance. She is one of the most impressive, intelligent, and inspiring speakers that I have ever heard. Because she means EXACTLY what she says.

THAT, my friends, is leadership.

Palin Confirms She's A Purely Political Pick
by georgia10
Wed Sep 03, 2008 at 08:12:25 PM PDT

If there was any doubt left among voters, pundits, and politicos alike that John McCain's selection of Sarah Palin was based purely on politics, tonight's speech should lay to rest any notion that Republicans chose their candidate based on anything other than a shallow political calculus.

With her snarky, amateurish, almost Student Council-like speech, Palin proved today that she can attack like a candidate for vice-president. And she demonstrated that she can support the top of the ticket like a candidate for vice-president.

re: #748 Silhouette

What is up with the orange handkerchiefs up front?

I have a sneaking suspicion that it's a shout out to Hillary supporters - Hillary wore orange for her speech, some have said as a sign of "captivity" (i.e. prisoner jumpsuit orange) or of being forced to do something she didn't want to do.

SO perhaps that is a shout out to disgusted Hillary supporters who were blown over by the sexism that Sarah's now going through?

Dunno. Just a thought.

It is a close game. RB ( running back ) McCain usually is given the ball and runs up the middle. He has not gotten a lot of yards with that play. That offensive line is big, but seems unable to get in the right position to block. They have just bought in a new QB ( quarterback ) Palin, hopefully she can get this offense rolling. Little is known about this player from Alaska, lots of criticism from the local press. Seems small for the position. First play, she calls an audible, fakes to McCain, fades back as to throw, no one is open. She tucks that ball under her arms and run the length of the field. Touchdown! Just what McCain and this team needed. Now, maybe that run up the middle will work a little better, with the whole field having to be defended. Great job Palin, you are a winner.

OHHH MYYY GOTTT! She was stinking BRILLIANT! She knocked it out of the park, out of the town, out of the ATMOSPHERE! If the leftie moonbats weren't barking mad by today, they will be now. The line that cinched it for me, paraphrasing, 'Some people promote change to make their careers, others use their careers to bring about change,' referring of course to John McCain's entire political service against Barack Obama's. I literally cried.
She is the perfect complement to McCain, she has strengths where he is not very strong and the two of them are staggeringly perfect for America. A bona fide American Patriot and a bona fide American Woman, together again for the very first time. Geez, you mean not unlike the millions of service men and women protecting America and other countries right this very minute, and their equally devoted wives/husbands and families back home?
I still think McCain is 90% wrong about illegal immigration, and a few other things, but, BUT, he is 100% right about Sarah Palin.
If the women who were betrayed by the Democratic party do not turn -- no, run -- toward McCain/Palin because of her, then nothing will move them. Their loss!
Can you imagine it? A real war hero for president... and a woman vice president... I can barely stand it.
DANG!

she 'effin hit the cycle. GOP owes Rudy for the set up, the 3 spot, she stepped up in the clean up spot and absafukinlutely hit a 600 footer. She is going to clean up the small towners in the swing states. It's McCain's to lose.

K.O. is saying that this speech gave democrats the all clear to attack her because she can take it.

Brian Williams is an ass. I used to watch him - sheesh!

898 Reality_Wrangler  Wed, Sep 3, 2008 8:41:56pm

MSNBC: Brian Williams is doing a hatchet job (for Olbermann) on Palin, and Olbermann just got Williams to say Rudy proved that McCain needed Palin's experience to balance the ticket. NBC scum are apoplectic...

899 Reality_Wrangler  Wed, Sep 3, 2008 8:43:07pm

Brokaw counting on American public to digest Rudy's statement that media is biased toward Osama...

Mac is an 'effin genius. The maverick know what he is doing.

Next: Palin makes 'em weep on The View.

Love the Marge Gunderson accent. Does her hubby warm up the prowler for her?

Is the Prowler - Purple?, Yellow?, Red? or Black? - Plymouth People want to know.

All in all, that was a pretty good speech. I loved the sincerity and the humility. Here's a person who understands me, Mr. Average American. Not in some textbook "policitical science" kind of way, but because she lives a normal life every day.

Oh, yeah, and the merciless, brutal evisceration of The One? That rocked.

903 robin  Wed, Sep 3, 2008 9:06:20pm

Wow. That was one powerful speech. No matter how the media or the Democrats spin this, she was hard hitting and brutal. John McCain has chosen perfectly. Sarah Palin will appeal on many levels. She walks the walk and talks the talk. Her record of standing up for what she believes in, sends a very powerful message.

Um, I just listened to Bridget Brille, or what ever her name is, say the same thing on CNN 2 minutes before your post. Pretty much word for word. So are you her? And if so I just want you to know that your delivery sounded alot like sour grapes. Just thought I'd let you know.

Turn about is fairplay. And, while wearing impeccable lipstick. Inexorable. We have a contender. Let them rest and dine well for tomorrow, the battle begins. AT LAST!

They were plywood columns.

/but what the hell, great line

Annenberg's factcheck dot org will be right on this one. "They were plywood columns and were really returned to the Rezko housing projects they were ... errr... borrowed from, yeah that sounds good, borrowed.

CalCajun,

We just got power back (thanks LUS!) and all the downed trees have been chainsawed.

re: #908 good2geaux

Hey.

Yeah. Mom and Dad made it back to Metairie this PM. Power was back and the freezer hadn't thawed. Lots of mess in the yard, but that will give Dad something to do. The wife's fam is mack on the Gulf Coast, no worse for wear. A close run thing, really. Now, let's see where this Ike fella is gonna go.

The best news; the Saints are playing on Sunday--in da Dome! Come hell and high water! You think Tampa Bay has a chance this weekend?

re: #904 Capitalistincharge

Nope. not me and no sour grapes. Just some really heavily guarded optimism! Trying hard to keep objectivity in check as I have been burned before.

re: #888 Cartman

But the hours are good and I get paid $300 per hour. It is so hard to quit.

 Frank says:

There were 45 men in the jail cell, the toilet and shower had never been cleaned, the temperature was 110 degrees so you couldn't sleep night or day, there were roaches in the oatmeal, sadistic guards, and everything that was nice. -- Zappa 1969 interview. This had happened during the days of Studio Z in Cucamonga (1963). Frank was released on bail (his father took out a bank loan to pay for it). Frank had been busted for "conspiracy to commit pornography," after making a silly recording of suggestive sexual sounds (giggling edited out) for someone who had asked him to provide a "special" tape recording for a stag night. That someone turned out to be Detective Willis of the San Bernadino Vice Squad. Their conversation was recorded by a hidden microphone and this was used as evidence at Zappa's trial.
