Comments on: Why the Press Claims, Falsely, that Sarah Palin Wasn’t Vetted: Because Unlike You, They Don’t Read Beldar, So They Got Surprised by the Pick. And They Don’t Like Being Surprised.

I recall that about five months Wonkette (who ever was running it at the time) had Mrs Palin listed as being in the running but thought that the new born would prevent her from being able to be VP.

“You’d think McCain would have caught that. She even took the money for the bridge.

Comment by Russell”

Wait, you mean the State of Alaska didn’t give back money from the transportation budget just because they chose not to spend it as their Political Betters in D.C. told them too?

Of course, as you don’t know but everyone else does, an earmark doesn’t generally add money to a bill; it just forcibly directs how the money in the bill would be spent.

Now maybe if you were in control of a state you’d send most of your transportation budget back to the people who (from your opinion) mismanaged how to spend it in the first place.

But if you are that stupid, I wouldn’t vote for you…

#158 & #170, I agree and would add that Palin is a threat to the feminists because she got to this point in life swearing allegiance to them. How dare she! These are women scorned by another woman – far worse than if scorned by a man.

#158 DaMav, you are so right. I bailed out of the women’s movement in the seventies when “equity feminism” got run over by “gender feminism”. I worked full-time as a computer programmer and college instructor until after the birth of my fifth child, and I utterly reject the leftist bias against marriage and family.
Patterico is totally correct about the main-stream-media’s mind-set, motives, and methods.
Conservatives should take care to avoid the same mistakes.

“The lefties will be watching Governor Palin’s speech very closely, tonight. If it half as powerful as I expect it to be, watch them go into pants-shitting hysterics.”

nk – I thought you said she was too white trash for everyone. Are you revising your opinion?

And then I said I was not going to be part of the problem. Two times, at least. Ok?

fwiw, I was at Housekeeping Camp the same day (and week) and could not get a signal to save my life (even on Half Dome), no roaming, no nothing. What service do you use?

Actually, I was sort of hoping for a set of those foxy DoubleMint Twins…

What part of “the seas will stop rising” don’t you understand, then?

Oiram,

Lame response, but thanks for playing, along with the admission that BDS is taking on the qualities of a religious cult. As I referred to the cult-like devotion of Obamatons and did not claim that they call him the Messiah, you can drop the strawman.
