Yes you are. I need to go to bed soon – but was busy listening to Palin again, and reading her attorney’s transcript, which, I discovered, is missing at least one word, but probably close enough.
I’m thinking my neighbor would like to see less of them in my yard, so he’d see less of them in his, but darn they’re quick. Mowed one day, and they were up the next.
Here, when we were kids we used to call them ‘clocks’, you blew on them going ‘whooo one o’clock, whooo two o’clock, whooo three o’clock etc. till they were nekkid. No idea why as they were hardly ever right.
Looks like Scarah is going on Hannity tonight so definitely no dinner unless she tapes Hannity early. Desperate damage control coming up, bet it’s not going out live, they will have to edit and re edit madly, even with a slobbering Sean doing the interview.
Has anyone here every eaten dandelion greens? They are quite bitter, but a staple in no. Maine every spring. And they are free!
My grandmother used to dig them, but it never seemed to make a difference in the weed population of her lawn!
PS: there is some chatter about Scientology and Palin and Stapletongue and The TransCanada pipeline thingy, and VanSiddownandshuddup. OOOOhhhhhhhHHHH!!! Could this be the iceberg? It’s gonna be ugly.
‘Non-Pagan American citizen’ Newt Gingrich dodged the draft, led the charge to impeach Clinton while having an affair of his own, and was a deadbeat Dad. Huckabee got a rapist released from prison that went on to rape and kill more women, thinks women should be subservient to their husbands, has a son who tortured and killed a dog, enriched himself with public money and thought AIDS victims should be isolated. If I believed there was a God, I would have to believe he is rather disappointed in how his two creations were living their lives.
Wow, http://www.conservatives4palin.com/, have a “debunking the plagorism’ article about 23 pages long. They seem to be using the “he did it one time, and so did she and him over there, so who cares” excuse (excuses for Palin, gasp, who’da thunk it?).
I think what’s scariest is she’s too freakin stupid to write any origional idea and these fruitcups want her to be pres? I would hope a pres could write something from their own head with their own ideas.
Lord, please reincarnate Reagen so the GOP can move onward.
austintx: Awesome photo of the sunrise! Kind of makes me feel pretty insignificant in the grand scope of things.
Dandelions = BAD! Parents, do NOT teach your kids to blow on them! This only spreads their seed to the yards of very cranky mid-40′s types like me who has to fight them every spring. If I see a kid blowing on one, I’m gonna have a hissy fit and call the police. Something about malicious destruction of property, I think!
Chipmunks = Little cutie pies! I love a little chipmunk scurrying about!
I also have a crush on Theodore, but that’s not up for discussion.
Aussie Blue Sky: There’s that exact common thread among ALL the beat-their-chest believers!!!…they preach & judge one way, are so quick to criticize & condemn on their bloody pulpit, and then live quite another lifestyle…almost to the extreme opposite…the “do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do” religion. It’s the damndest thing! These people are free to do what they want, BUT shouldn’t be free to govern the rest of us!!! Thank you for detailing this very thing…scary isn’t it?
Paula – thanks for the additional uses for dandelions! Knew about the dandelion wine, but the first time I’ve heard of using the roots!
When I spent the spring with my grandmother one year (about 8 yrs. old), she loved dandelions so much, I dug up the neighbor’s yard, which was full of them. The neighbor called (she wanted her own greens), and I got a severe talking to about making myself at home on someone else’s property!
Palin’s sister accused her of having an affair with her ex husband? This guy?
Palin’s Brother-In-Law Appeared on Reality Dating Show. Lt. Gov. candidate Sarah Palin thought it might help her campaign when brother-in-law Jack McCann showed up as a desirable catch on the new “reality” TV show, “Looking for Love: Bachelorettes in Alaska.” That hope lasted until she actually saw an episode of the series, which turns out to be your basic meat market twitch & grin.
“Oh Lord,” she said. “My sisters and I watched it in horror.” Jack, who is scheduled to appear again even though he crashed a mountain bike in the first episode, is pretty cute and has a sense of humor, Sarah reports. “He described his occupation . . . as an office environment consultant,” she said.
“He sells furniture.” [Anchorage Daily News (Alaska), 6/9/02]
I hear Sarah will skip the GOP dinner and instead will give a speech at the same time at Gettysburg. She say she’s :”working” on a really interesting speech! Sarah asked Piper what a “score” was. Piper said, come on, mom. it’s 2 points unless it’s from 3 point range!”
New Belgium has a dandelion beer right now, I didn’t taste it but my husband is a brewer and liked it. Apparently lots of interesting flavors. http://www.newbelgium.com/beer/dandelion-ale
It just occurred to me this morning after Palin’s plagiarism faux pas, that her ghostwriter better get a clue.
If anyone who’s as skeptical of Palin as Geoffrey Dunn is, or the rest of us here are, happens to recognize passages in Palin’s upcoming book that are “strangely familiar”, the ghostwriter and the HarperCollins book editor will probably get the blame.
I’d be willing to bet that Palin’s “journals” are compendiums of her favorite passages from John Birch Society circulations and every ultra-conservative Republican politician who’s ever put pen to paper.
Once it gets written, she’ll be on Faux News every other day in infomercials for her new book that are disguised as interviews….
If that ghostwriter’s smart, she went out yesterday and bought some of the plagiarism software that’s offered up at http://www.plagiarism.com .
I was told by my mother that the milk from the stems of dandelions would get rid of warts. Nice picture AKM.
Irishgirl – it’s nearly 2 am here but had to wait to watch Ireland defeat Bangladesh in the 20-20 World Cup – congratulations to Ireland on the win. I had an Irish grandmother and so I have a soft spot for anything Irish. I hope to get there one day.

***********************************************
sarah should’ve asked Sherry Johnston what “score” means……
I overslept this morning and missed all the fun (Sarah’s invited, disinvited what again??). I love Isabella’s picture of Sarah wearing her red Franco Sarto sandals to the Autism walk. I wanted to show you another picture of Sarah’s sandals which she wore to the earlier festivities in Auburn, namely some other black strap casual sandals. You can see a picture of them over at Palingates. Reg has a beautiful photomontage of many of Sarah’s Wardrobe Wonders. I’m referring to the middle picture, top row. Yup, Governor all looking professional in another summer resort outfit.
I also liked Isabella’s comment that Willow wore short shorts to the Autusm speech. Reminds me of the time that GWBush and family were invited to Buckingham Palace to meet the Queen of England, and a Bush daughter wore a denim mini skirt– almost as good as short shorts. Who dresses these people? Oh, yeah, Palingates shows us why the Republicans had to spend $$$ to make up and outfit Sarah because the Campaign pictures are so Vogue Magazine and the Post Campaign pictures are so Country Life. (I hope that’s not too classy a magazine). And now we know why they muzzled her and wrote her speeches for her. How can that woman run for anything on the national stage if this is an indication of how she’ll run the campaign??
P.S. Drudge is carrying a (partial, so far) transcript of Sarah’s interview with Sean. Don’t look for complete sentences from the Journalism Major:
“And this many months into the new administration, quite disappointed, quite frustrated with not seeing those actions to rein in spending, slow down the growth of government. ”
Ever since the Newt Thing, I must identify the source. The above quote is taken from the Drudge transcript; Sarah is speaking.
OK, KaJo, you got me. Now I have to admit to (1) not looking carefully and (2) my eyesight isn’t what it used to be. In the interest of fairness, since the previous topic was plagiarism, I have to divulge my source. I found the pictures midway through the sea4pea site. They, in fact, credit the picture to the Post Standard’s John Berry (photographer) and happily provide the link to the June 6 newspaper. Dave Tobin’s article has a full photo spread of Sarah’s visit. (Better pictures show the color of the sandals). The shoes (excuse me, sandals) do look dark brown, but it’s the style, not the color that caught my eye. She wore them to the Harriet Tubman House before going to the Deli, the original picture at Palingates. So another question is: how many outfits and changes of clothes did Sarah bring for this Auburn NY visit? She seems to have another jacket on in the picture where she is looking at the antique steroscopic thing in Seward’s house. Are we this absorbed in the wardrobes of other women in public office? Seems to me that they dress in a professional, understated way so that we don’t have to comment on what they wear, it just isn’t an issue.
“I hear Sarah will skip the GOP dinner and instead will give a speech at the same time at Gettysburg.”
Another petty vindictive spiteful move. Just who does Palin, think is going to keep her in FUGLY stilettos once she is kicked OUT of Alaska govs office? Bite the hand that feeds you. Short sighted there.
Seems like Todd, is going to have to actually get a job in a couple months. Maybe his snowbuddy Scott, can hand him a shovel for one of those LUCRATIVE STATE CONTRACTS they talked about in the Sports Illustrated Interview.
All of a sudden the “other” people are discussing the birth of Trig. I suspect a red herring or shiny object to deflect the attention from the plagarism and GOP problems. No mention of Scientology influence. We may be in for another “wild ride.”
Got more on this???? This here’s my neck of the woods and Palin ain’t welcome.
*********************************************
Round up those chipmunks and unleash ‘em over there.
I just called. The Gettysburg Times. Donna Wagner, in NEWS ROOM, is not available to take a call. I then talked to Kay, at the Gettysburg Visitors Center, she checked with others, no one heard she is coming. I left a message in case Palin, does show to please tell her to get her self back to Alaska, there are flood victims who need attention.
Isabella,
That’s playing the game like the others I won’t name. If she appears, so be it. What does it really matter?? How many times has a rumour started on a blog and that’s all it was – a rumour — MANY.
Gettysburg, Chief of Police Joseph Daugherty, knows nada as well. He said unless she is sneaking in, he doesn’t expect her.
With all these tight lipped security itineraries, surely, Angry Meg, would have alerted the local author ties. I mean after attracting *LIAR* 20,000 *LIAR* the or so before not giving a heads up would be irresponsible.
Canadian Neighbour “That’s playing the game like the others I won’t name. If she appears, so be it. What does it really matter?? How many times has a rumour started on a blog and that’s all it was – a rumour — MANY.”
Game? I am calling authentic, on location, people who should be in the know if Palin, is setting foot in their territory. They say no. There is no waiting around hours to see if she will or won’t.
She isn’t going by their knowledge so I guess the GAME playing by Angry Meg to bluff Palin onto the stage tonight just backfired.
I meant the game of bluffing the, National Republican Congressional Committee, Palin, will upstage them in Gettysburg, tonight if they do not give her a mic and an exclusive stage.
I don’t mind the dandelions as much as I mind the plants that make foxtails and those little balls that stick on everything.
One last plug for my Uncle’s book: “Two shades of war” by Edward Weiss. Do a search on amazon.com. It’s an autobiography. Well, more of a memoir since it’s not his whole life, just WWI and Korea. I promise this is the last time. Want to make sure I covered all of the different time zones so people had a chance to see it.
Nan Says “There won’t be any repercussions for SP. Sigh.”
Oh yeah, there is. Just like the ethics complaints, they may be denied and dismissed but the truth is there the damage done. Palin, ever pulls the journalist degree card again she will get an earful.
I hear Sarah will skip the GOP dinner and instead will give a speech at the same time at Gettysburg. She say she’s :”working” on a really interesting speech! Sarah asked Piper what a “score” was. Piper said, come on, mom. it’s 2 points unless it’s from 3 point range!”
*************************************************************************************
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think London Bridges is “funnin’” us. “score” refers to the “four score” in Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg address and maybe London Bridges is thinkin’ that Sarah Baby is headed to Gettysburg to plagarize “The Great Emancipator” If I’m right, Hats off to London Bridges for a terrific “Gotcha”.
It just gets tiresome, the way she keeps on landing on her feet.
Omigawd, do you suppose that’s the deal with those shoes? They’re *magic* monkey shoes! In a stumble, they’re programmed to hit the ground first, right sides up.
I can just see her with the ghostwriter, when said ghostwriter asks for material. “Here, use these. Just change the words a little.” and hands ghostwriter some of the books from amazon.com on Sarah. You know, the ones she approves of.
Who is going to take on the task of reading her new book and seeing if she’s plagiarized from the other books about her that have been written? Having a ghostwriter will at least ensure that there is no word salad. One would hope.
I’m still thinking she is going to fire this one and go through several others unless there is something in the contract requiring a ghost. She’s just the control freak type to fire them all and say “Well, I’ll just write it myself. I do have a degree in journalism, also too.”
Sorry, I was being facetious about Gettysburg. It was an attempt at humor to insinuate that Sarah was about to plagiarize the Gettysburg Address. Sorry!
The Rudy-Forbes thing is a motivational speaking tour that Rudi has been doing since 9/11. Does it all over the country – nothing to get excited about.

Patrick is having a blast on the “Troofers” thread. You have to refresh pretty quickly to catch it, but he is being quite clever. A sample:
katiejane, June 8, 2009 2:39 PM
I know it is a waste of time to try and see any logic in the “Trig Troofers” but when you get right down to it “what difference does Trig’s parentage make to them?” Sarah and Todd Palin are raising Trig as their son, they obviously love him as it appears his sisters do. The troofers obsession with this issue is sick IMO.
Irishgirl,
I would suspect with the communication between Begich & Palin, etc. re the pipeline that went on last week.
I posted last night and still think she shows up at dinner tonight. She was supposed to be at Croyn’s table but I suspect Malek’s table. Coming in unannounced!! Doesn’t mean she has to speak as she will get the attention now just be being there.
“readying AK for good movement on huge project…”
LOL
Ah, I can’t wait to hear the report on how Alaskans are getting readied…
A big thank you to Beigch for making the Governor of Alaska get educated on the AGIA progress.
Considering she has been busy doin other things beyond duties as Governor.

Gettysburg is more than a National Park

You are absolutely correct. But knowing sarah as the camera hog showboat that she is , I ASSumed that if true , she would surely pull her publicity stunt at the biggest place that Gettysburg {the city} is known for. My bad.
OMG! I just saw the footage of where the Palin Family was brought on stage for the start of the Autism walk.
That is when I got the first glimpse of Willow’s “ensemble”.
NOT ONLY is she in WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too short of shorts, but she is representing AK and the “family” in RAGGEDY shorts, with strings hangin’ down and stuff.
My mother would NEVER EVER IN A MILLIION YEARS let me out of the house like that for a public event.
As much a fashionista as Palin is, you would THINK she would demand Willow put on something a little less slutty and a little more respectful of the event in supporting Autism. Again, where is a pair of walking (just above knee) shorts, a cute top and summer flats?
Does this family ever think about how they LOOK to the folks that bother to see them? Are they “respect-challenged”? Or just trailer trash with lousy, ugly, slutty wardrobes?
The fact that Palin is making all the news cycles on this ‘Will she or won’t she — she’s already got traction to benefit and make it about her. Only problem is for her is to the people — this gets old as it’s not her first rodeo of playing this invited, not invited, will she go, won’t she. I know I’m tired of it as it displays total immaturity for someone who holds elected office with ambitions to climb higher.

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is planning to attend the joint House-Senate fundraising dinner tonight, according to sources familiar with her schedule, ending a back and forth between the vice presidential nominee and the two congressional campaign committees that goes back for months.
Irishgirl, there’s a write-up by Dan Fagan on The Alaska Standard about Exxon and TransCanada getting closer to a meeting of the minds about working together. That may be what Palin’s TwitterBerry is all about.
As for that TwitterBerry @ 7:16 AM Jun 7th “# As I said on Fox earlier: 46 cents on each $1 of govt spending is borrowed, 25% of it owed to China. We’re over-leveraged.” — well, duh. “We” were overleveraged LAST year, too, and you didn’t say a thing, you twit! Did you get that clue November 4th after the polls closed? On January 20th? Sore loser! (directed to Palin, of course).
————
I, too, did a comparison of AKM’s transcription of Palin’s Wednesday 6/3/09 “introduction” speech vs. that which her attorney Van Flein attached to his ADN letter (courtesy of see2pee — http://tinyurl.com/npfny5 ). It’s absolutely AMAZING how accurately AKM transcribed that speech. Kudos to her.
What’s most interesting — especially if you want to poke holes in Van Flein’s “paraphrasing” excuse — is that in either version, there’s between 424 and 428 words between Palin’s two references to Newt Gingrich.
That’s an entire essay in some parts, but for Palin and Van Flein, it’s just “paraphrasing”.
That’s the worst laugh-out-loud stupid excuse I’ve ever seen from a lawyer. Someone should check what fly-by-night law school this guy got his law degree from.
So now the diva’s going to the party after all?!? It’s getting harder by the day to keep my mind from merging Palin and Shannon Doherty into a single entity. At least Doherty’s spoiled-brat antics aren’t in the news Every day.
For both, we can be sure – the Real going-away parties happen after they’ve gone.

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is planning to attend the joint House-Senate fundraising dinner tonight, according to sources familiar with her schedule,
6 pm to 7 pm Leadership Awards Presentation at Kenai Landing Theater
Alaska Governor Sarah Palin (invited) will present tops of Alaska’s food chain. Winners are announced and presented awards for leadership in manufacturing/processing; harvesting/growing Alaska champion; for pulling Alaska product into the marketplace.
Okay, the Hardball report. (Basic paraphrasing as I got a phone call and was listening with one ear)
Chris made a point of asking Fred Malek if he thought Palin was the future of the party, and he didn’t answer, instead said that there were a few up & coming people who would be the future (someone from VA. was one pointed out).
The woman who was there as well, Michelle something, wasn’t so happy with Palin being the face of the party. When the whole will she won’t she thing came up, this woman stated in re: Palin “oh please don’t let her change her mind, don’t make it seem like a woman who always changes her mind”.
Bottom line, Palin is not considered the face of the GOP, but she is popular and will do well with fundraising.
Neither of them wanted to focus on Palin, that much was very obvious. Both were unwilling to say anything really negative, instead they more or less tried to down play her importance by talking about others. The Michelle woman stated that the leaders of the GOP are those who were elected, and she specifically mentioned Steele.
My favorite part was when Chris played a clip of Palin’s Reagan Rally speech where she was talking about how the government was going to come in and take control of the people, he (Chris) claimed that she was using the “black helicopter” of “how they are coming to get you”. Malek disagreed, but Michelle agreed with Chris that Palin was more or less using “fear tactics” and the “black helicopter” idea in her speech.

There was a time – like back when Rudy was a federal prosecutor – when he had high standards and much about him was admirable. Funny how he’s become nothing more than a political whore who does and says just about everything possible to stay in the spotlight (including sticking his nose up Palin’s butt).

Betcha I could get a nice welcoming committee together if she ever traipsed about these parts, tho. Then again, Camp David and the super-secret hidey hole in which dickless cheney spent much of his time is nearby so maybe she’ll never come… First Dud certainly wouldn’t be able to get the proper security clearances.
Couric, said the same thing. Palin, needs to go back to AK and govern. She will be judged on how she handles the state before being let loose on the rest of the nation. The piss poor job she has done, when she has done something, she will be in the unemployment line come next year.
Look at Palin, at Yankee Stadium mugging for those boys. Ya think maybe those younger guys weren’t there for her but for Willow, in her shorty short shorts?

Has anyone heard anything more on the firing of the Dir. of Public Health? Anything more on the step-down of McCallister? All this Palin crap is freaking me out. Where’s the fairy Godmother when you need her, the one with the magic wand. Please make Palin disappear.
Do you think maybe Willow is competing with Bristol in the “who can become an unwed mother at an younger age” sweepstakes?
I’m sorry to be blunt or insulting, but only “white trash” would think to allow their young daughter who is representing their state on a stage, in front of media, in such inappropriate clothing. All of the corsage in the world aren’t going to make Willow’s cutoffs acceptable attire.
File this in the “what was she thinking” file, if there’s any more room to cram it in.
#’s 115-116-117: This is a perfect example of why Palin has the potential to be the most dangerous person to ever trod the earth.
She cans the public health director & Bill McCallister steps down and all anyone can talk about is her shoes and daughter’s innapropriate attire.
The perfect subterfuge! No one is focused on issues of substance and accountability.
London Bridges
I hear you, but I think ppl are very focused on who she is, which is basically all we have on her. Like a shape-shifter, she eludes in-depth definition, which is the danger she poses to the country.
bubbles, if you are here, I’m waving hello and wishing you well.
EyeOnYou – Thank you, I was very curious. Can’t honestly blame Willow, she is a youngster and doesn’t know any better yet. However, you would think her father, mother or even Megamouth would have gently said something like, you look great but the TV people will be there and lots of onlookers and your mom is trying to look like a serious politician, so do you think you could put something on that’s a bit less raunchy.
London Bridges – I know what you are saying, but think many people in Alaska are watching very closely what Palin does, including sacking the health worker.

OMG. Cut-offs with raggy fringe hanging are only appropriate on the farm, never mind the lack of respect her tragic outfit conveys. But I blame her mother for just not paying attention to her kids.

I wasn’t trying to be critical. Rather I was trying to point out how Sarah always escapes responsibility often by creating a new smokescreen that may or may not have to be answered later.
Phil Munger is on Eddie Burke asking Van Flein about how much of the $500,000.00 legal fees reported was due to the Troopergate reports, and Van Flein is refusing to answer. Eddie just pulled a Hannity and was “over speaking” and trying to defend Palin and Van Flein. Van Flein, like a baby just stopped talking and let Eddie play the game.
London Bridges – I know you weren’t being critical. Just frustrated like the rest of us. Never fear, Karma will bite Palin in the bottom real hard sooner or later.
Also, those pics at Yankee Stadium? Where’s all the wimmins at? Not one doe-eyed, fawning woman. Just men, with their hands in front of their crotches, no doubt.
RAM defending Palin & Plagiarism, she doesn’t have to follow the guides like you would in college when writing a paper, she cited Newt twice. She made a great speech and that is why they are trying to deflect that.
Andree McLeod,….now she is breathlessly looking for anything that Palin was given in Auburn …calling Andree a joke and a nuisance to the Palin family and making a mockery of the ethics laws.
Dennis Zaki….did he misrepresent himself, Ram says he is a stringer,….
Stumbles and bumbles around her answer (unlike her claims on her site where she claims Zaki did do something wrong) saying she hopes he did everything right and didn’t misrepresent himself.
what did she say exactly? The ADN has video of this speech, which was recorded by Dennis Zaki, up on their website. As I noted a few days ago, Zaki recorded the speech without permission and then sold it to CNN for a pile of money.
RAM ~ ak should never be shortsighted about what a great spokesperson Palin is everywhere she goes…..we are not a draft palin website, but you are going to need to have someone in the whitehouse to open up your resourses
Eddie…everywhere Palin goes she is the star attraction.

line at the bottom of the screen says “Rewrite Wing”.
And thanks for the kind words UK Lady. I’ve been to UK four or five times in the last 20 years, Scotland once, and England — mostly in the north — the other times. Just love every visit!
Nan, congrats on keeping on for your degree!!!! I can not tell you how proud I was of myself when I earned my BA. For my MA, I was in tears (at age 34 and, if I’m permitted to brag a bit…with a 3.82 cumulative GPA).
During my years as a professor, I found that most of the best and most motivated students were the “older” ones who were paying for it a class at a time when finances/time permitted. It was an absolute joy to be a teacher/facilitator for them and I learned so much from them as well.
Justafarmer,
I feel I’m posting under false pretenses as I’m not currently in school. Life in the form of new grandchildren (across the country) seems to be conspiring against it for now.
But after a high school record underachievement, it was a HUGE thrill when the honors program contacted me (ME!)… lol
You absolutely have a right to brag on that 3.82. AND on the MA! Good on you, and big, big congratulations. Keep that grin on your face, you’ve earned the right. lol
Completely different topic, UK Lady, did I read a Daily Mail story correctly over the weekend that a member of the Looney Party actually won a council seat?
And KO is talking about someone in the Pirate Party winning something (sorry, I was typing and didn’t catch it all).
OK, I just looked at the TV screen and it was the Swedish Pirate Party…I’ll have to check again when it’s available online to see what THAT is all about!
well, Nan, just don’t give it up!
A class here, a class there, it all eventually adds up to a degree. And, trust me, it feels REALLY great when it all comes together with that cap and gown and that piece of paper.
BTW, my degrees hang on the wall of my bathroom so everyone can see them!

I think that red stuff on Sarah’s toes may be a fungus! May require a quarantine.
************************************************
It’s “Fomunda” cheese………………….fomunda the toes.
and not to plagiarize Biden or Kinnock, I am indeed the first person in my family to ever get a degree; half of my siblings didn’t even graduate high school. Since then, I have a niece (who served in the Peace Corps in Kazahkstan after graduation and is now working in DC) and a nephew, who are also university grads.
Unfortunately a lot of people put in protest votes in the local and Euro elections last week. The consequence was that a couple of BNP members got council seats and Euro seats. I feel sick about this as they are a nasty bunch of racists. The government here is chaotic at the moment with the PM clinging on by the skin of his teeth.
I was just over at Huffpo and saw the ” Big News Pages”. For Sarah Palins page (instead of a pic of her ) they are showing those ‘goofy’ red shoes to represent her. Too funny.
You would think she would not let Bristol or Willow wear something like ‘that’… but it’s OK for the GOV to wear them EVERYWHERE!
It is called milkweed, you pick it up and blow it, always did it as a child now I would need a breathing treatment to blow all the allergen out of it, lol!!!
Republican officials involved in the discussions said Palin was invited to sit at a head table but told she would not be given a chance to speak for fear that she might overshadow Gingrich.
Palin balked at that arrangement but as late as Monday had not made clear whether she would attend, the officials said. Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, made a personal appeal over the weekend for her to attend.
I’m sure that it made her feel so much better that they came begging and pleading for her to attend. Feed her ego and she’ll do it, otherwise she will turn her nose up at it. No wonder people offer her gifts to attend events. They must realize that unless they offer her something she won’t bother with it.
Rachel Maddow’s just too funny. At the end of her segment about the Iranian presidential election, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s faltering chance of being re-elected, and how bat-crap crazy he is, she said “I wonder if he can see Russia from his house?”
Gotta love her…
When those cameras go dark, hopefully before 2010, she is going to go bat sht crazy. Voight, was he the greatest opener they could rally. That S*O*B* is a loonie to boot. Republicans, I am stunned how hard they have crashed since McCain/Palin.
Okay, let me try this again, the first time I went to the link it showed me a weed SP’s toes before the manicure and now it is her toes with blood red polish and rhinestones. The second toe after the big one is hanging over the shoe “OMG”, is she serious. This is a sitting govenor why is she wearing open-toed shoes and polish with rhinestones? Shouldn;t she leave that for Dude’s imagination how tacky.
Rachel is doing a great yes, no, yes, no…
my head is spinning (might be the beer, but I don’t think so)
“She can come but can’t come anywhere near a microphone” and “it’s like the junior high prom, shotgun wedding and a paternity suit all rolled into one”.
Is the red shoes all she owns? And her daughter being photographed in daisy dukes did they not know that she would be speaking in public? The stance of hers is as if she is competing with younger women. “Guarantee she has on a thong”.
@ Isbella 175, do she have on leather as an evening jacket, do you realize that how hot it is in the states? Dark leather in the states in the summer is dumb, dumb and dumber, but it’s better than those hideous red open-toed shoes that she had on earlier with rhinestoned “BIG” toes. LOL!!!!
I think Newt gave a little “zing” to Palin (without naming her) when he quoted Lincoln in his speech. Paraphrasing here, he said something like “this quote is a little long for what is commonly considered acceptable in a speech”.
Okay my stomach hurts to much laughter and I have not even seen the doggone “GOP show”, but the snippets are to die for, thanks everyone on Mudflats for keeping me full of laughter.
my impression of Isabella’s photo link:
I saw that on the TV briefly and was glad to have Isabella’s photo link to confirm…
why on earth is SP wearing a black leather biker babe outfit?
Jeez…even I know better than that!
And I also noticed what appears to be a copper POW bracelet on her left wrist and then some sort of thin silvery chain bracelet below that. And what appears to be a wedding ring. And then something really chunky on her right wrist.
Gotta say, I’ve not seen any of this jewelry on her before but then I’ve never never bothered to look before, and I didn’t bother to look tonight but there is all the bling.

My goodness !! There is actually a term for all you observed.
Just saw on Anderson Cooper – they show a photo and ask for alternate captions. Well the photo was the one of the Gov. bending down to grab the tennis shoes at the podium while wearing the red/cork 5″-ers. Ha! The first comment has already slipped my memory, but the second one – paraphrasing –
“Well Bristol, you did ask me to imagine what it was like to walk in your shoes”
and to be totally honest…put my bone fides on the table.. I was a biker babe back in the late 60s and 70s.
I am now an aging biker babe with my aging biker Mr justafarmer and our 1955 HD Panhead.
I handed my size 9 biker babe leathers off to one of our granddaughters a couple of years ago. (Size 9 is such a dream for me these days…dang…size 12 is a dream!)

Silence is golden…………..
at this point i dont think she could “skip’ another gop event. imo the thing that would take her down is she doesnt trust anybody so she has her buddies making the decisions and we all see how thats going for her. shes to secretive to bring any washington insiders to help her. so you have a bunch of people running around making decesions who have no idea what they are doing. i havent figured out yet how they think she can get the nomination without the gop establishment. it must take a 6 year college degree in journalism to figure it out. i guess im out of luck.
Such a “money” shot would earn her the 2012 GOP nomination whilst the thinking people would aim appropriate derision in her direction. Frankly, if it weren’t appropriate for Spears, then it should not be appropriate for a supposed leading Presidential candidate.

OK, I just looked at the TV screen and it was the Swedish Pirate Party…I’ll have to check again when it’s available online to see what THAT is all about!
—————————————————-
Thanks for this. I didn’t know anything about it but I guessed (correctly) that it would have something to do with piratebay.com, a Swedish internet piracy outfit (and, I think, the first to use ‘torrents’). These guys were recently sentenced to jail as a result of court action by the big recording and movie companies (action which has failed in other European countries, so I was very surprised that the laid-back Swedish would respond this way). I wrote a post for my blog about the court case and I will definitely have to write about this. These guys are lunatics, but harmless and amusing.
I know Austintx, but what is the answer to my question. Which was, WHY is Willow there with them……to keep a tab on her, cuz she’s at that age and acting out, this does seem to be the case according to her dress for this occasion. I’m just askin.
Scarah, chose to throw the whole fam dam aly into this mix. So, is Willow showing her Independence, are Scarah and Toad purposely letting her test the waters so they can say, see we told you this would happen, in order to prove a parental point to Willow.
hey atleast we know how she has spent some of her advance book money, she got some new clothes and a pedicure. not as good as the rnc wardrobe but better than some of the crap ive seen her in.
I hope she takes some of that book deal money and gets a new hair cut or at the very least a comb. Her hair looks like a mess. The style looks like something out of the early 60s.
Everybody check out the Letterman highlights tomorrow. He had a LOT of stuff on Palin visiting NY. Talked about the Baseball game with Rudy. Had a Top ten on Palin. Things Sarah did or wanted to do while visiting.
Don’t remember all of them. One was…. “Keyed Tina Feys car”
I believe I know why Willow was dressed like she came from Dogpatch: her mother was keepin’ it rill …. it was deliberate – she was dressed for the “She’s one of us” rabble.
It wasn’t just bad taste, it was a bad idea too also. Willow looked horrible in every respect. What a family!
I like to blow them.
Yes you are. I need to go to bed soon – but was busy listening to Palin again, and reading her attorney’s transcript, which, I discovered, is missing at least one word, but probably close enough.
I’m thinking my neighbor would like to see less of them in my yard, so he’d see less of them in his, but darn they’re quick. Mowed one day, and they were up the next.
Here, when we were kids we used to call them ‘clocks’, you blew on them going ‘whooo one o’clock, whooo two o’clock, whooo three o’clock etc. till they were nekkid. No idea why as they were hardly ever right.
Looks like Scarah is going on Hannity tonight so definitely no dinner unless she tapes Hannity early. Desperate damage control coming up, bet it’s not going out live, they will have to edit and re edit madly, even with a slobbering Sean doing the interview.
SARAH PALIN on HANNITY TONIGHT:
9pm et: From blasting Obama’s policies, to her future in the GOP: Sean gets answers!
Well this ought to be an interesting interview. Palin spewing forth her BS, and Sean drooling over her yet again.
Will she be wearing her shorty skirt & naughty shoes for Sean?

i love dandelions
Can we use 4-letter words here?
Oh. We cannot.
This is what I think of dandelions: &$#*@ Same as with the chipmunks who have worked their way into the attic and pantry.
The sun shines high: the rain’s gone by.
It’s Dandelion Day.
From fertile spawn my plush green lawn
Is mottled yellow spray.
The neighbors’ round, all cutting down
Their blades and flowers gay -
Now green they’ve got, a common lot,
While mine’s in vast array.
Why should I mow these lovelies low,
Defying Sunshine’s ray?
To bring them down the sun might frown,
And turn blue sky to gray.
I’ll let their seeds fallow new weeds
And mow another day.
Resplay they should, the neighborhood.
The Dandelions stay.

Gingrich: Americans ‘surrounded by paganism.’
‘Non-Pagan American citizen’ Newt Gingrich dodged the draft, led the charge to impeach Clinton while having an affair of his own, and was a deadbeat Dad. Huckabee got a rapist released from prison that went on to rape and kill more women, thinks women should be subservient to their husbands, has a son who tortured and killed a dog, enriched himself with public money and thought AIDS victims should be isolated. If I believed there was a God, I would have to believe he is rather disappointed in how his two creations were living their lives.

Wow, http://www.conservatives4palin.com/, have a “debunking the plagorism’ article about 23 pages long. They seem to be using the “he did it one time, and so did she and him over there, so who cares” excuse (excuses for Palin, gasp, who’da thunk it?).
I think what’s scariest is she’s too freakin stupid to write any origional idea and these fruitcups want her to be pres? I would hope a pres could write something from their own head with their own ideas.
Lord, please reincarnate Reagen so the GOP can move onward.
Aussie, that’s fun story. There’s more on it here: http://politicalmoosedroppings.blogspot.com/
austintx: Awesome photo of the sunrise! Kind of makes me feel pretty insignificant in the grand scope of things.
Dandelions = BAD! Parents, do NOT teach your kids to blow on them! This only spreads their seed to the yards of very cranky mid-40′s types like me who has to fight them every spring. If I see a kid blowing on one, I’m gonna have a hissy fit and call the police. Something about malicious destruction of property, I think!
Chipmunks = Little cutie pies! I love a little chipmunk scurrying about!
I also have a crush on Theodore, but that’s not up for discussion.
Dandelions were once an important part of the food pyramid:
Roast roots and shred, use for coffee substitue.
Eat young greens like spinich (cook and drain twice to get rid of bitter taste). Serve with bacon dressing.
Yellow flowers make an excellent dandelion wine.
Aussie Blue Sky: There’s that exact common thread among ALL the beat-their-chest believers!!!…they preach & judge one way, are so quick to criticize & condemn on their bloody pulpit, and then live quite another lifestyle…almost to the extreme opposite…the “do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do” religion. It’s the damndest thing! These people are free to do what they want, BUT shouldn’t be free to govern the rest of us!!! Thank you for detailing this very thing…scary isn’t it?

Paula – thanks for the additional uses for dandelions! Knew about the dandelion wine, but the first time I’ve heard of using the roots!
When I spent the spring with my grandmother one year (about 8 yrs. old), she loved dandelions so much, I dug up the neighbor’s yard, which was full of them. The neighbor called (she wanted her own greens), and I got a severe talking to about making myself at home on someone else’s property!
Palin’s sister accused her of having an affair with her ex husband? This guy?
Palin’s Brother-In-Law Appeared on Reality Dating Show. Lt. Gov. candidate Sarah Palin thought it might help her campaign when brother-in-law Jack McCann showed up as a desirable catch on the new “reality” TV show, “Looking for Love: Bachelorettes in Alaska.” That hope lasted until she actually saw an episode of the series, which turns out to be your basic meat market twitch & grin.
“Oh Lord,” she said. “My sisters and I watched it in horror.” Jack, who is scheduled to appear again even though he crashed a mountain bike in the first episode, is pretty cute and has a sense of humor, Sarah reports. “He described his occupation . . . as an office environment consultant,” she said.
“He sells furniture.” [Anchorage Daily News (Alaska), 6/9/02]

More serious stuff:
It just occurred to me this morning after Palin’s plagiarism faux pas, that her ghostwriter better get a clue.
If anyone who’s as skeptical of Palin as Geoffrey Dunn is, or the rest of us here are, happens to recognize passages in Palin’s upcoming book that are “strangely familiar”, the ghostwriter and the HarperCollins book editor will probably get the blame.
I’d be willing to bet that Palin’s “journals” are compendiums of her favorite passages from John Birch Society circulations and every ultra-conservative Republican politician who’s ever put pen to paper.
Once it gets written, she’ll be on Faux News every other day in infomercials for her new book that are disguised as interviews….
If that ghostwriter’s smart, she went out yesterday and bought some of the plagiarism software that’s offered up at http://www.plagiarism.com .

I overslept this morning and missed all the fun (Sarah’s invited, disinvited what again??). I love Isabella’s picture of Sarah wearing her red Franco Sarto sandals to the Autism walk. I wanted to show you another picture of Sarah’s sandals which she wore to the earlier festivities in Auburn, namely some other black strap casual sandals. You can see a picture of them over at Palingates. Reg has a beautiful photomontage of many of Sarah’s Wardrobe Wonders. I’m referring to the middle picture, top row. Yup, Governor all looking professional in another summer resort outfit.
I also liked Isabella’s comment that Willow wore short shorts to the Autusm speech. Reminds me of the time that GWBush and family were invited to Buckingham Palace to meet the Queen of England, and a Bush daughter wore a denim mini skirt– almost as good as short shorts. Who dresses these people? Oh, yeah, Palingates shows us why the Republicans had to spend $$$ to make up and outfit Sarah because the Campaign pictures are so Vogue Magazine and the Post Campaign pictures are so Country Life. (I hope that’s not too classy a magazine). And now we know why they muzzled her and wrote her speeches for her. How can that woman run for anything on the national stage if this is an indication of how she’ll run the campaign??
P.S. Drudge is carrying a (partial, so far) transcript of Sarah’s interview with Sean. Don’t look for complete sentences from the Journalism Major:
“And this many months into the new administration, quite disappointed, quite frustrated with not seeing those actions to rein in spending, slow down the growth of government. ”
Ever since the Newt Thing, I must identify the source. The above quote is taken from the Drudge transcript; Sarah is speaking.

OK, KaJo, you got me. Now I have to admit to (1) not looking carefully and (2) my eyesight isn’t what it used to be. In the interest of fairness, since the previous topic was plagiarism, I have to divulge my source. I found the pictures midway through the sea4pea site. They, in fact, credit the picture to the Post Standard’s John Berry (photographer) and happily provide the link to the June 6 newspaper. Dave Tobin’s article has a full photo spread of Sarah’s visit. (Better pictures show the color of the sandals). The shoes (excuse me, sandals) do look dark brown, but it’s the style, not the color that caught my eye. She wore them to the Harriet Tubman House before going to the Deli, the original picture at Palingates. So another question is: how many outfits and changes of clothes did Sarah bring for this Auburn NY visit? She seems to have another jacket on in the picture where she is looking at the antique steroscopic thing in Seward’s house. Are we this absorbed in the wardrobes of other women in public office? Seems to me that they dress in a professional, understated way so that we don’t have to comment on what they wear, it just isn’t an issue.

I just called. The Gettysburg Times. Donna Wagner, in NEWS ROOM, is not available to take a call. I then talked to Kay, at the Gettysburg Visitors Center, she checked with others, no one heard she is coming. I left a message in case Palin, does show to please tell her to get her self back to Alaska, there are flood victims who need attention.
Isabella,
That’s playing the game like the others I won’t name. If she appears, so be it. What does it really matter?? How many times has a rumour started on a blog and that’s all it was – a rumour — MANY.
Gettysburg, Chief of Police Joseph Daugherty, knows nada as well. He said unless she is sneaking in, he doesn’t expect her.
With all these tight lipped security itineraries, surely, Angry Meg, would have alerted the local author ties. I mean after attracting *LIAR* 20,000 *LIAR* the or so before not giving a heads up would be irresponsible.
Canadian Neighbour “That’s playing the game like the others I won’t name. If she appears, so be it. What does it really matter?? How many times has a rumour started on a blog and that’s all it was – a rumour — MANY.”
Game? I am calling authentic, on location, people who should be in the know if Palin, is setting foot in their territory. They say no. There is no waiting around hours to see if she will or won’t.
She isn’t going by their knowledge so I guess the GAME playing by Angry Meg to bluff Palin onto the stage tonight just backfired.
the cee-fer-pee bunch has what they call the “real transcript” of the speech. With the supposed quotes from the grinch set aside as quotes.
Thank you, MadCityChick for the link.
There won’t be any repercussions for SP. Sigh.

It’s the “Get Motivated” group. Kind of a rah-rah seminar for businesses. Probably Sarah Palin’s future employer. Hey…it’s good enough for Rudy!

Well, it sounded good for a whole 30 seconds…
re: Palin’s book.
I can just see her with the ghostwriter, when said ghostwriter asks for material. “Here, use these. Just change the words a little.” and hands ghostwriter some of the books from amazon.com on Sarah. You know, the ones she approves of.
Who is going to take on the task of reading her new book and seeing if she’s plagiarized from the other books about her that have been written? Having a ghostwriter will at least ensure that there is no word salad. One would hope.
I’m still thinking she is going to fire this one and go through several others unless there is something in the contract requiring a ghost. She’s just the control freak type to fire them all and say “Well, I’ll just write it myself. I do have a degree in journalism, also too.”

Patrick is having a blast on the “Troofers” thread. You have to refresh pretty quickly to catch it, but he is being quite clever. A sample:
katiejane, June 8, 2009 2:39 PM
I know it is a waste of time to try and see any logic in the “Trig Troofers” but when you get right down to it “what difference does Trig’s parentage make to them?” Sarah and Todd Palin are raising Trig as their son, they obviously love him as it appears his sisters do. The troofers obsession with this issue is sick IMO.

They are raising Trig “as her son”….????
I say she is a TRIG TROOFER!!!

Irishgirl,
I would suspect with the communication between Begich & Palin, etc. re the pipeline that went on last week.
I posted last night and still think she shows up at dinner tonight. She was supposed to be at Croyn’s table but I suspect Malek’s table. Coming in unannounced!! Doesn’t mean she has to speak as she will get the attention now just be being there.
Isabella, are you still on twitter? She is getting her talking points directly from Malek, the dog killer!!!!

OMG! I just saw the footage of where the Palin Family was brought on stage for the start of the Autism walk.
That is when I got the first glimpse of Willow’s “ensemble”.
NOT ONLY is she in WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too short of shorts, but she is representing AK and the “family” in RAGGEDY shorts, with strings hangin’ down and stuff.
My mother would NEVER EVER IN A MILLIION YEARS let me out of the house like that for a public event.
As much a fashionista as Palin is, you would THINK she would demand Willow put on something a little less slutty and a little more respectful of the event in supporting Autism. Again, where is a pair of walking (just above knee) shorts, a cute top and summer flats?
Does this family ever think about how they LOOK to the folks that bother to see them? Are they “respect-challenged”? Or just trailer trash with lousy, ugly, slutty wardrobes?

The fact that Palin is making all the news cycles on this ‘Will she or won’t she — she’s already got traction to benefit and make it about her. Only problem is for her is to the people — this gets old as it’s not her first rodeo of playing this invited, not invited, will she go, won’t she. I know I’m tired of it as it displays total immaturity for someone who holds elected office with ambitions to climb higher.

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is planning to attend the joint House-Senate fundraising dinner tonight, according to sources familiar with her schedule, ending a back and forth between the vice presidential nominee and the two congressional campaign committees that goes back for months.
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/thefix/eye-on-2012/palin.html?wprss=thefix
Irishgirl, there’s a write-up by Dan Fagan on The Alaska Standard about Exxon and TransCanada getting closer to a meeting of the minds about working together. That may be what Palin’s TwitterBerry is all about.
As for that TwitterBerry @ 7:16 AM Jun 7th “# As I said on Fox earlier: 46 cents on each $1 of govt spending is borrowed, 25% of it owed to China. We’re over-leveraged.” — well, duh. “We” were overleveraged LAST year, too, and you didn’t say a thing, you twit! Did you get that clue November 4th after the polls closed? On January 20th? Sore loser! (directed to Palin, of course).
————
I, too, did a comparison of AKM’s transcription of Palin’s Wednesday 6/3/09 “introduction” speech vs. that which her attorney Van Flein attached to his ADN letter (courtesy of see2pee — http://tinyurl.com/npfny5 ). It’s absolutely AMAZING how accurately AKM transcribed that speech. Kudos to her.
What’s most interesting — especially if you want to poke holes in Van Flein’s “paraphrasing” excuse — is that in either version, there’s between 424 and 428 words between Palin’s two references to Newt Gingrich.
That’s an entire essay in some parts, but for Palin and Van Flein, it’s just “paraphrasing”.
That’s the worst laugh-out-loud stupid excuse I’ve ever seen from a lawyer. Someone should check what fly-by-night law school this guy got his law degree from.
So now the diva’s going to the party after all?!? It’s getting harder by the day to keep my mind from merging Palin and Shannon Doherty into a single entity. At least Doherty’s spoiled-brat antics aren’t in the news Every day.
For both, we can be sure – the Real going-away parties happen after they’ve gone.

Eye on you……..give reports please, I have GOT to get to town, lol……this is crazy busy Palinese days all over again.
Can someone tell me where to find pics or vid of Willow in short shorts?
What’s being said on hardball?
TA
Okay, the Hardball report. (Basic paraphrasing as I got a phone call and was listening with one ear)
Chris made a point of asking Fred Malek if he thought Palin was the future of the party, and he didn’t answer, instead said that there were a few up & coming people who would be the future (someone from VA. was one pointed out).
The woman who was there as well, Michelle something, wasn’t so happy with Palin being the face of the party. When the whole will she won’t she thing came up, this woman stated in re: Palin “oh please don’t let her change her mind, don’t make it seem like a woman who always changes her mind”.
Bottom line, Palin is not considered the face of the GOP, but she is popular and will do well with fundraising.
http://www.videosift.com/video/Discovery-News-Apes-Giggle-Like-Humans
Wanta make a gorilla giggle. Tickle its tootsie.
Neither of them wanted to focus on Palin, that much was very obvious. Both were unwilling to say anything really negative, instead they more or less tried to down play her importance by talking about others. The Michelle woman stated that the leaders of the GOP are those who were elected, and she specifically mentioned Steele.
My favorite part was when Chris played a clip of Palin’s Reagan Rally speech where she was talking about how the government was going to come in and take control of the people, he (Chris) claimed that she was using the “black helicopter” of “how they are coming to get you”. Malek disagreed, but Michelle agreed with Chris that Palin was more or less using “fear tactics” and the “black helicopter” idea in her speech.
Seems AK has some competition for strange Legislature happenings when in session.

Couric, said the same thing. Palin, needs to go back to AK and govern. She will be judged on how she handles the state before being let loose on the rest of the nation. The piss poor job she has done, when she has done something, she will be in the unemployment line come next year.

Has anyone heard anything more on the firing of the Dir. of Public Health? Anything more on the step-down of McCallister? All this Palin crap is freaking me out. Where’s the fairy Godmother when you need her, the one with the magic wand. Please make Palin disappear.
Do you think maybe Willow is competing with Bristol in the “who can become an unwed mother at an younger age” sweepstakes?
I’m sorry to be blunt or insulting, but only “white trash” would think to allow their young daughter who is representing their state on a stage, in front of media, in such inappropriate clothing. All of the corsage in the world aren’t going to make Willow’s cutoffs acceptable attire.
File this in the “what was she thinking” file, if there’s any more room to cram it in.
Still haven’t seen any pictures of the short shorts. Where can I find them?
#’s 115-116-117: This is a perfect example of why Palin has the potential to be the most dangerous person to ever trod the earth.
She cans the public health director & Bill McCallister steps down and all anyone can talk about is her shoes and daughter’s innapropriate attire.
The perfect subterfuge! No one is focused on issues of substance and accountability.

However, you would think her father, mother or even Megamouth would have gently said something like, you look great but the TV people will be there and lots of onlookers and your mom is trying to look like a serious politician, so do you think you could put something on that’s a bit less raunchy.

I wasn’t trying to be critical. Rather I was trying to point out how Sarah always escapes responsibility often by creating a new smokescreen that may or may not have to be answered later.
There has to be some one in that administration that will be a deep throat and let everyone know what is going on Remember people can be anonymous
Phil Munger is on Eddie Burke asking Van Flein about how much of the $500,000.00 legal fees reported was due to the Troopergate reports, and Van Flein is refusing to answer. Eddie just pulled a Hannity and was “over speaking” and trying to defend Palin and Van Flein. Van Flein, like a baby just stopped talking and let Eddie play the game.
YAY PHIL!!!!!
London Bridges – I know you weren’t being critical. Just frustrated like the rest of us. Never fear, Karma will bite Palin in the bottom real hard sooner or later.

Also, those pics at Yankee Stadium? Where’s all the wimmins at? Not one doe-eyed, fawning woman. Just men, with their hands in front of their crotches, no doubt.
RAM defending Palin & Plagiarism, she doesn’t have to follow the guides like you would in college when writing a paper, she cited Newt twice. She made a great speech and that is why they are trying to deflect that.
Andree McLeod,….now she is breathlessly looking for anything that Palin was given in Auburn …calling Andree a joke and a nuisance to the Palin family and making a mockery of the ethics laws.
Dennis Zaki….did he misrepresent himself, Ram says he is a stringer,….
Stumbles and bumbles around her answer (unlike her claims on her site where she claims Zaki did do something wrong) saying she hopes he did everything right and didn’t misrepresent himself.
what did she say exactly?
The ADN has video of this speech, which was recorded by Dennis Zaki, up on their website. As I noted a few days ago, Zaki recorded the speech without permission and then sold it to CNN for a pile of money.
RAM ~ ak should never be shortsighted about what a great spokesperson Palin is everywhere she goes…..we are not a draft palin website, but you are going to need to have someone in the whitehouse to open up your resourses

Nan, congrats on keeping on for your degree!!!! I can not tell you how proud I was of myself when I earned my BA. For my MA, I was in tears (at age 34 and, if I’m permitted to brag a bit…with a 3.82 cumulative GPA).
During my years as a professor, I found that most of the best and most motivated students were the “older” ones who were paying for it a class at a time when finances/time permitted. It was an absolute joy to be a teacher/facilitator for them and I learned so much from them as well.

But after a high school record underachievement, it was a HUGE thrill when the honors program contacted me (ME!)… lol

Completely different topic, UK Lady, did I read a Daily Mail story correctly over the weekend that a member of the Looney Party actually won a council seat?
And KO is talking about someone in the Pirate Party winning something (sorry, I was typing and didn’t catch it all).

Unfortunately a lot of people put in protest votes in the local and Euro elections last week. The consequence was that a couple of BNP members got council seats and Euro seats.

Heh…the ego is showing.
Republican officials involved in the discussions said Palin was invited to sit at a head table but told she would not be given a chance to speak for fear that she might overshadow Gingrich.
Palin balked at that arrangement but as late as Monday had not made clear whether she would attend, the officials said. Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, made a personal appeal over the weekend for her to attend.

I’m sure that it made her feel so much better that they came begging and pleading for her to attend. Feed her ego and she’ll do it, otherwise she will turn her nose up at it. No wonder people offer her gifts to attend events. They must realize that unless they offer her something she won’t bother with it.
Jesus, Newt, buttered up Palin., How did I ever vote for these morons.
Rachel Maddow’s just too funny. At the end of her segment about the Iranian presidential election, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s faltering chance of being re-elected, and how bat-crap crazy he is, she said “I wonder if he can see Russia from his house?”
Gotta love her…
EyeOnYou Says “Heh…the ego is showing”
When those cameras go dark, hopefully before 2010, she is going to go bat sht crazy. Voight, was he the greatest opener they could rally. That S*O*B* is a loonie to boot. Republicans, I am stunned how hard they have crashed since McCain/Palin.
Okay, let me try this again, the first time I went to the link it showed me a weed SP’s toes before the manicure and now it is her toes with blood red polish and rhinestones. The second toe after the big one is hanging over the shoe “OMG”, is she serious. This is a sitting govenor why is she wearing open-toed shoes and polish with rhinestones? Shouldn;t she leave that for Dude’s imagination how tacky.
Rachel is doing a great yes, no, yes, no…
my head is spinning (might be the beer, but I don’t think so)
“She can come but can’t come anywhere near a microphone” and “it’s like the junior high prom, shotgun wedding and a paternity suit all rolled into one”.
Hi, Jim…..Team Bat Sht Crazy
Boy, they have no energy huh? Those applauds are pretty meek.
I refuse to watch I will get the scoop from the aftermath.
Palin had to walk across the stage to her table huh?
Lol, she looks ready to cry.

Ditto. I paid my daily dues by listening to Eddie Burke!
Is the red shoes all she owns? And her daughter being photographed in daisy dukes did they not know that she would be speaking in public? The stance of hers is as if she is competing with younger women. “Guarantee she has on a thong”.
@ Demetria Nelson-McNaulty
And thongs are so 2003. You are probably right.
listening to newt live cnn feed…what a freaking blowhard! But it could be worse….! Could be Gino psychotically rambling on there….!

It’s Okay 167 Isabella, we all make mistakes, it’s only if we keep making them again and again, and then we have problems.
@ Isbella 175, do she have on leather as an evening jacket, do you realize that how hot it is in the states? Dark leather in the states in the summer is dumb, dumb and dumber, but it’s better than those hideous red open-toed shoes that she had on earlier with rhinestoned “BIG” toes. LOL!!!!
I think Newt gave a little “zing” to Palin (without naming her) when he quoted Lincoln in his speech. Paraphrasing here, he said something like “this quote is a little long for what is commonly considered acceptable in a speech”.
Okay my stomach hurts to much laughter and I have not even seen the doggone “GOP show”, but the snippets are to die for, thanks everyone on Mudflats for keeping me full of laughter.
Just listened to Gingrichs’s speech. Delivered well, but he’s as scary as Palin.

my impression of Isabella’s photo link:
I saw that on the TV briefly and was glad to have Isabella’s photo link to confirm…
why on earth is SP wearing a black leather biker babe outfit?
Jeez…even I know better than that!
And I also noticed what appears to be a copper POW bracelet on her left wrist and then some sort of thin silvery chain bracelet below that. And what appears to be a wedding ring. And then something really chunky on her right wrist.
Gotta say, I’ve not seen any of this jewelry on her before but then I’ve never never bothered to look before, and I didn’t bother to look tonight but there is all the bling.

Is that a hairpiece???
Just saw on Anderson Cooper – they show a photo and ask for alternate captions. Well the photo was the one of the Gov. bending down to grab the tennis shoes at the podium while wearing the red/cork 5″-ers. Ha! The first comment has already slipped my memory, but the second one – paraphrasing –
“Well Bristol, you did ask me to imagine what it was like to walk in your shoes”
and to be totally honest…put my bone fides on the table.. I was a biker babe back in the late 60s and 70s.
I am now an aging biker babe with my aging biker Mr justafarmer and our 1955 HD Panhead.
I handed my size 9 biker babe leathers off to one of our granddaughters a couple of years ago. (Size 9 is such a dream for me these days…dang…size 12 is a dream!)
Oh boy – here’s Anderson Cooper’s site – just started reading the captions submitted and felt I needed to share before diving in!!

So far the only shout out has come from McCain. Although I know it won’t happen, I would find it hysterically funny if they didn’t show Palin’s shout out just to return the favor of her spilling the beans!!!
I think he is about to get his head shaved……………

OBAMA SHOUT OUT!!!!!
AWESOME!
OMG – PO is givin’ the haircut order !!! TOO COOL !!
lol, austin!
the general saying, Mr. presdent, is that an order?
President Obama, General shave that man’s head!
Wiping my eyes from laffing so much!
Colbert looks really good with his new haircut!
and that’s not snark, he really looks nice!
Dang – Are we lucky to have Mr. President Barack Obama , or what !?!?
Mr. President was way cool! Even hubby said he was glad he stayed up this late to watch (usually DH is in bed at least an hour earlier).
at this point i dont think she could “skip’ another gop event. imo the thing that would take her down is she doesnt trust anybody so she has her buddies making the decisions and we all see how thats going for her. shes to secretive to bring any washington insiders to help her. so you have a bunch of people running around making decesions who have no idea what they are doing. i havent figured out yet how they think she can get the nomination without the gop establishment. it must take a 6 year college degree in journalism to figure it out. i guess im out of luck.
The PO segment was dynamite !! I could watch it everyday for inspiration.
The show was incredible. It will be fun to watch all the other episodes that are sure to be just as good!
any day now i expect to see palins crotch shot. ala britney……..
lexky – That would be the money shot , in more ways then one. Larry Flynt would be high bidder for sure.
Such a “money” shot would earn her the 2012 GOP nomination whilst the thinking people would aim appropriate derision in her direction. Frankly, if it weren’t appropriate for Spears, then it should not be appropriate for a supposed leading Presidential candidate.
Anyone find video of tonite’s GOP bash?
sauerkraut – Could not find a video……..but found this account. BTW – no chipmunk on the menu.

OK, I just looked at the TV screen and it was the Swedish Pirate Party…I’ll have to check again when it’s available online to see what THAT is all about!
—————————————————-
Thanks for this. I didn’t know anything about it but I guessed (correctly) that it would have something to do with piratebay.com, a Swedish internet piracy outfit (and, I think, the first to use ‘torrents’). These guys were recently sentenced to jail as a result of court action by the big recording and movie companies (action which has failed in other European countries, so I was very surprised that the laid-back Swedish would respond this way). I wrote a post for my blog about the court case and I will definitely have to write about this. These guys are lunatics, but harmless and amusing.
I know Austintx, but what is the answer to my question. Which was, WHY is Willow there with them……to keep a tab on her, cuz she’s at that age and acting out, this does seem to be the case according to her dress for this occasion. I’m just askin.
Scarah, chose to throw the whole fam dam aly into this mix. So, is Willow showing her Independence, are Scarah and Toad purposely letting her test the waters so they can say, see we told you this would happen, in order to prove a parental point to Willow.
hey atleast we know how she has spent some of her advance book money, she got some new clothes and a pedicure. not as good as the rnc wardrobe but better than some of the crap ive seen her in.
I hope she takes some of that book deal money and gets a new hair cut or at the very least a comb. Her hair looks like a mess. The style looks like something out of the early 60s.
W o W !!
I just visited Paligates and Regina has posted many photos of GINO when she ‘dressed herself ‘ in her own ‘ style ‘… or lack thereof.
Had she gone on the campaign trail in THOSE outfits…. those good ole southern Boys/Fans would have voted differently… yu betcha.
new post
Everybody check out the Letterman highlights tomorrow. He had a LOT of stuff on Palin visiting NY. Talked about the Baseball game with Rudy. Had a Top ten on Palin. Things Sarah did or wanted to do while visiting.
Don’t remember all of them. One was…. “Keyed Tina Feys car”
I believe I know why Willow was dressed like she came from Dogpatch: her mother was keepin’ it rill …. it was deliberate – she was dressed for the “She’s one of us” rabble.
It wasn’t just bad taste, it was a bad idea too also. Willow looked horrible in every respect. What a family!
