LOL! This is great! Howard Dean couldn't write this better himself...
...The McCain camp is now crying sexism over Tina Fey's portrayal of Palin on SNL, a skit the GOP VP candidate said was entertaining...namely because it fostered her egotistical belief she looks like Tina Fey, but that's neither here nor there.

This is going to start taking the wind out of all their wails of victimhood.

Then, to top it off, Cindy McCain complained about the women on The View being too tough on the GOP presidential nominee. The View?!?! Daytime fluff supreme was too harsh?!?!

The Dems need to make hay with this as widely as possible. If McCain can't handle Barbara Walters and Whoopi Goldberg, what's he going to do with Vladimir Putin?

1. I don't know.
I watched about 45 seconds of The View, and it made me want to pull my intestines out through my ear.

Of course, I'm not pretending to qualified to be President, as McCain is doing. One hopes that he'd be made of sterner stuff...

4. I think the MSM...
...is a bit ticked they have been preemptively demonized by the GOP and then avoided by the candidates. Having McCain flaunt their dismissal by appearing on something like The View will get the goat of the quasi-journalists on CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC and MSNBC.

Complaining about the questioning on a show like that is red meat for columnists, analysts and others with the freedom to editorialize. Combined with the victimhood angle now getting tiresome, this could backfire on them really fast.

2. LOL! From the article:
“She thought it was quite funny, particularly because she once dressed up as Tina Fey for Halloween,” Palin spokesperson Tracey Schmitt told CBS.

LOL!

Sorry, Sarah. Fey is attractive even when she dresses up like you.
The reverse isn't true. :rofl:

3. ok, how do you dress up like Tina Fey?
I don't get it. She wears regular clothes. How is that a costume?

9. I know this is kinda shallow, but her hair looks really weird from the side.
Someone said it looked like a take off on those Mormon women in Texas. I can see that.

10. It's the Pentecostal look toned down.
The Mormon women in Texas have almost the same exact hairstyle as the Pentecostal women do here. They have had this same hairdo since I was a child, and I don't know why this style has stayed with them. I mean they wear the same style clothing here that they always have also, but she does not dress like them. Also no Pentecostal woman would be in a beauty pageant either. Oh my goodness, how could she appear in a bathing suit and sit be a good woman by their standards?

Guess they have their own idea of how to live--they like a wild life.

she was wearing a 'costume'?

12. This is a typical response from the ultra-wealthy. They demand and
expect deference and respect, even if it's phoney. Appearance is everything. They know you don't mean the deference but that's okay, as long as you show it...
