In one of the most remarkably cynical political moves in recent memory, the Republicans are picking Alaska governor Sarah Palin to be on their ticket as Veep.
Advice to GOP vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin: Don’t plaster on the make-up (link contains offensive language uttered by John McCain). Also? Stop naming your children after television witches and grade-school courses.

But Stew, she’s a former Beauty Pageant Queen. Don’t you think we Yanks deserve a pretty, pretty VP? One who wants to take away our domestic partnership benefits? One who is under indictment for illegally firing one of her own staff? Sounds to me like she has all the qualities we really need in a #2. She’s vapid, hateful and amoral. What more could we possibly ask for? I mean, other than a blow-gun and a poison dart?
Unfortunately I think this is a particularly savvy move by McStain. He courts the disenfranchised Hillary women vote, gets to look “progressive”, gets to set historical presidence, adds youth, and avoids having a rich white old dude as a VP.
The main problem is… who the fuck IS she, anyway?
why she’s karen. from “will & grace”.
But is she Miss Buffalo chip material? Gah, if McCain wanted to go with a woman Veep, why not Kay Bailey Hutchison or Christine Todd Whitman? With all the stuff going on in the world, why go with the “Aw shucks, I’m just a hockey mom!” schtick?
I’m just stupified that she admits not following up on events in Iraq when she governs a state that has a sizable number of military bases in it.
I’d love to hear her justifications for no abortions on the case of incest. God loves inbreeding?
I feel like his selection of her, and her acceptance, means they both know it’s not going anywhere no matter whom he picks. I feel like, with a special-needs infant at home, she’s trying to get some name recognition and be a good party loyalist but isn’t really thinking it’s going to be a long-term commitment.
But I believe in evolution, so I can’t really claim any insight as to what she might be thinking. Well, with the exception of the “Maybelline spatula = praise the Lord” equation.
“I’m just stupified that she admits not following up on events in Iraq when she governs a state that has a sizable number of military bases in it.” And she has a son in the armed forces. Might want to keep an eye on doings over there, Sally.
My god! McCain found someone who may be an even bigger bimbo than George W Bush. I’m impressed.
[...] abound, but, at her age, she reminds me of Susan Lucci. She looks great. Obviously, some people disagree, rebuking the gov for the amount of makeup she wears. I just think either she or her stylist really [...]
It’s nice to know that, just because I have boobs, I’m supposed to vote for McCain so that “There will be a woman just an aneurysm away from being President!”
Feh.
Tim, that’s just an insult to Karen.
Frankly, Rick, I don’t care that she’s a former beauty queen. I do care that she seems to be a hypocrite and is against everything that I strongly believe in and, despite her sudden ride close to the top, advocates for the disenfranchisement of women. And she looks a lot like someone I used to work with that I don’t like very much.
Fuck you, Sarah Palin.
