Sarah Palin: Without Her, We'd Have Nothing to Say
Move over baseball—scrutinizing Sarah Palin has become the new national pastime. Here's a roundup of what people are talking about today...
Elementary-gate!
When asked by a third grader to describe the job of vice president, Palin said she would be "in charge of the Senate." It's a tremendous oversimplification of her potential duties, and many were quick to point this out. Some even insinuated that perhaps Gov. Palin doesn't even know what a VP does. Others pointed out that these were third graders, not a room of political science majors. A panel of experts wonders: Is the media being sexist?
A free pass for Joe? Say it ain't so!
Gov. Palin is doing her best to point out that she is bearing the lion's share of the bad press. In an interview with CNN, the governor mentioned that Sen. Biden, her vice-presidential rival, once remarked there would be an international crisis during an Obama presidency. Palin said during the interview that had she made that remark, she would be "held accountable," but that Sen. Biden got a free pass. Points go to Palin since the interviewer agreed.
The lion, the moose, and the wardrobe
And then there are the clothes—we're sure you've heard of them by now. The governor has apparently been wearing a wardrobe bought and paid for by GOP backers. How much did the fancy duds cost? $150,000. Clearly this hockey mom doesn't shop at Wal-Mart. Searches spiked on "palin wardrobe," "palin shoes," and "palin clothing allowance." Still, in fairness to the well-dressed governor, she has said that she plans to donate her swanky threads to charity. Good news for Goodwill.

Nice try, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with Sara Palin, other than liberal pinheads constant bashing. Why don't you cover the endless gaffs of Joe Biden, talk about not being qualified for VP or any other job in the government. He's an idiot, running on a ticket with a liar, cheating his way to the white house. If the far left liberal media were not so "in love" with the jerk, the public would be informed as to his true underhanded, sleazy, double talk. Beware of the enemy within, the anti-christ shall have a flock of followers to the slaughter. That describes Obama/Biden and their dumb supporters. Sara's clothing Cost! How about the $$$$ the democrats spend, and more to the point where it comes from.
Oh, that's right, no one is going to talk about the back room deals of the Obama camp. Since you are not going to report on anything of any importance,don't write anything at all. As for me I'm changing my home page so I don't get anymore of the bashing reporting on my computer. I'm sick of the liberal media and refuse to listen to it. God help us all if the forces with the bucks behind Obama is successful in putting their puppet in the white house.

ARE YOU SERIOUS? The Obamas are eating food that costs more than her wardrobe - and get a free pass! What is she supposed to tell the third grader? Honestly, can anyone give a better answer? And JOBS is not a three letter word (no slaughter like VP Quayle), but Joe gets a pass! It is just wrong!!

And how is it that the $650 million raised (the most ever)is not labeled "buying the Presidency" for Barry? Another in the LONG list of double standards the media is now proud of.
