What is "mom jeans?" Palin is so dumb (and dumber)

[question everything]

Is this the worse she can say about Obama?

[HockeyMom]

1. I kinda know what "mom jeans" are

that is a term from the 80s. Shows where Sara is, but how can a MAN wear Mom jeans?

[louis-t]

4. She's running out of nasty things to say

about him.

[politicaljunkie41910]

32. It seems as if she was stumbling over her words in her rush to get to her Mom jeans punchline,

or than, perhaps it was just Palin being Palin, the bumbling idiot. She probably stole the joke from her kids.

[JustAnotherGen]

2. I don't know what this is referencing

But as poorly turned out as she is - that's some nerve. Especially for a woman whose husband is constantly seen in floods. The Palins do not understand the proper line where a Man's pants should break.

[question everything]

6. Sarah Palin thinks President Obama and his mom jeans are no match for Vladimir Putin

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/sarah-palin-slams-president-obama-article-1.1710052

Palin, who prides herself on her knowledge of Russia, warned that Putin "harkens back to the era of the czars" and is on a quest to regain dominance when she spoke to FOX's Sean Hannity Monday night.

"People are looking at Putin as one who wrestles bears and drills for oil. They look at our president as one who wears mom jeans and equivocates and bloviates," Palin added.

The President was photographed donning denim on Saturday, when he called Putin from the Oval Office to discuss the situation in Ukraine.

Some conservatives complained that Obama's choice of attire was no match for the global crisis at hand.

As I said: dumb and dumber..

[JustAnotherGen]

8. Oh FFS!

This is why I skim over anything she says. She's just worthless!

[polly7]

23. I thought it was just a joke that she'd said that!

Good grief, people actually still want that person to be President?!?

[Proud Liberal Dem]

24. What she means is that Obama is no match for Putin's amazing chest!

[merrily]

18. I first heard it in 2009, about Jessica Simpson's jeans at that time.

http://www.metro.us/newyork/entertainment/the-word/2014/01/07/people-are-still-talking-about-jessica-simpsons-mom-jeans/

[merrily]

21. ? I didn't say Sarah made fun of Obama because of Simpson.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

5. These are mom jeans...

A man could feasibly wear these.

[DesertRat]

14. I loved that SNL sketch!

And as a Mom, I could relate.

[frazzled]

7. He does kind of wear unstylish jeans, but what's the point?

Michelle should get him some dark, straight-legged jeans for Father's Day, but really, does anyone care? And what does this have to do with how one conducts oneself on the job?

[JustAnotherGen]

9. It's Sister Sarah Alaskastan

She's ignorant and is Klassy with the big old capital K. This is all she knows and idiots on the right always reward her for her ignorance.

[CJCRANE]

10. Did anyone else think that Palin looked and sounded like a parody of herself?

I did a double take to make sure it wasn't Tina Fey or Julianne Moore.

[NastyRiffraff]

11. She's a self-caricature

every time she opens her mouth.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

25. Tina Fey only is able to do a "half-parody" of her

n/t

[BlueStater]

12. It's an attack on his masculinity.

Just the sort of low brow comment you'd except from this idiotic, vile person.

[cntrfthrs]

16. You hit the nail on the head.

I knew a woman like her. the first thing she'd do is cast aspersions on a males masculinity...If it was permissable...she'd start calling into question the size of his package in comparison to putins...

[calimary]

41. Welcome to DU, cntrfthrs!

Glad you're here! She is a freakin' cartoon. Every time I hear a soundbite of hers, with that high-pitched spiky voice of hers, I damn near get the dry heaves. She is a disgrace.

[Sunlei]

13. Isn't palin long overdue for another exorcism to cast out the witches?

[DesertRat]

15. She thinks she's so original

[SmittynMo]

19. She's the original idiot!!! n/t

[merrily]

17. She's said much dumber things, like

marriage between a man and woman is in the Constitution.

That was a much stupider thing for someone running for VP to say than some wardrobe commentary by someone whose 15 minutes ended (or should have) in 2008.

[winter is coming]

22. I've never understood the whole "mom jeans" thing.

Why would/should a middle-aged politician need to look like he's a 20-something model in an Abercrombie & Fitch ad?

[Frustratedlady]

26. I thought Mitt was the one who wore Mom Jeans.

Palin's sick humor grew old a long time ago. She needs to go away.

[Frank Cannon]

39. Yeah, that was Mitt, all right.

Sarah has a poor memory.

[2pooped2pop]

27. she ought to put on her mom jeans

Maybe take off the "I'm trying to look 20 because my looks are failing jeans"

[3catwoman3]

28. She is definitely...

...losing that battle.

[Beacool]

29. Early in his administration Obama went home to Chicago and was seen riding a bike.

The media made fun of his jeans and called them "mom jeans". Mom jeans are pants that are baggy, and have a waist at or above the belly button.

Palin is just repeating that inane comment to question Obama's masculinity. The Right keeps harping on Putin's virility v. Obama's perceived "weakness". They insist that Putin invaded Crimea because Obama is seen as weak. They must have forgotten that Putin invaded Georgia when Bush was still president.

[question everything]

38. Yeah. First they complain that he is a dictator for wanting to govern by executive decisions

and then, Giuliani, at least, marvel at Putin making decisions while Obama is "thinking."

Of course, reason and logic were never a strong point of the RWers and Fox.

[Bluenorthwest]

30. I remember when she worried about Putin 'rearing his head'....

[question everything]

31. Was this when she could see Russia from her house?

(almost). Tina Fey's comment pretty much entered the realm of believable true quotes..

[winhig]

33. palin

She can't help it she sees Russia from her house, the idiot

[calimary]

43. Welcome to DU, winhig!

Good to have you with us! I have a conservative friend whose latest husband is evidently so extremely CONservative that he even won't accompany her to our house when she stops by to visit. Guess we have cooties or something… Anyway, she's conservative but not as ridiculously so as he is. And during that 2008 campaign, she too shook her head in disbelief at sarah palin. She, too, was disgusted. My friend even commented - "she's going to set the woman's movement back 50 years." And she didn't sound very happy about it, either. Too stinky and off-putting even for my conservative friend.

[uppityperson]

34. I just watched Game Change after reading the book and omg

The book was mostly about the Clinton and Obama campaigns before the convention, with a bit about McCains but the movie was about McCain's campaign, especially the hows, whys, wtfs of Palin.

The striking bit was not just what a person she was (holy crap), but the end foreshadowing "we've seen the last of her".

[Rosa Luxemburg]

35. She thinks that Moms are inferior

[themaguffin]

36. what are you referring to???

[question everything]

37. See my reply, above #6

[geretogo]

40. Lunatic

We all know Palin has all the characteristics of an escapee from a lunatic asylum . What scares me is
almost a third of Americas population embraces her as one of their own in this Cult
called the Republican Party . What does this say about Americas longevity as a
free Democratic Republic .

[question everything]

42. Indeed. She and Joe McCarthy... er, Ted Cruz

One can only hope that if there are still some sober Republican people, that they will continue to view them as entertainers.

And welcome to DU

[calimary]

44. Welcome to DU, geretogo!

Great to have you join us! You describe this pathetic simpleton very well - she does remind me of an escapee from some lunatic asylum. And it really makes me question the sensibility of that third of the American population. WHO ON EARTH finds that appealing?????

[Wounded Bear]

45. To the pea brains on the right...

I'm sure it is thought of as the opposite of "big boy pants" or something.

[Mr.Bill]

46. It's curious that a woman who is a mother

would use the term "mom" as a way to insult someone.

[question everything]

47. I have long stopped seeking rhyme or reason

with any Republican..
