Palin's cheapshot swing at Michelle Obama..

[HipChick]

Hmm...anyone's take on the psychological aspect to this woman who can't let go the fact she lost in 2008? and still going on about the interview with Katie Couric upset her?

You know, when I hear people say, or had said during the campaign that they've never been proud of America, haven't they met anybody in uniform yet?


I get tears in my eyes when I see that young man, that young woman, walking through the airport in uniform ...you too... so proud to be American.


Not only was it a nasty elbow at the First Lady, but Palin's remarks were thoroughly insensitive to the memory of Tillman and to his parents, who have been strongly critical of the U.S. military in the aftermath of his death.

The remainder of Palin's 40-minute speech before an adoring, albeit less-than capacity audience at the San Jose Center for Performing Arts, was equally long on hyperbole and short on substance. Palin spent far more time talking about Dancing with the Stars than she did about foreign policy. Her digs were mostly directed at Democratic Party leaders (Palin continues to call it the "Democrat Party"), the "lamestream media" and President Obama--with whom she has been singularly obsessed since her failed vice-presidential bid in 2008 and who she blames for political attacks against her in Alaska.

John McCain's wife, Cindy McCain--she of the drug habit and silver spoon wedged in her mouth--also voiced criticism of Michelle Obama's comments during the campaign.

For her part, Michelle Obama downplayed the controversy during the election by noting that she was referencing the "record number" of young voters participating in the political process in the 2008 campaign:

For the first time in my lifetime, I am seeing people rolling up their sleeves in way that I haven't seen and really trying to figure this out, and that's the source of pride I was talking about.
Palin, who is clearly positioning herself for a run at the presidency in 2012, will be attending a "victory rally" tomorrow in Anaheim, California, sponsored by The Republican National Committee--at which none of California's major Republican candidates, including gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman or U.S. Senate hopeful Carly Fiorina (who Palin has endorsed), will be in attendance.

[and-justice-for-all]

1. sad and pathetic comes to mind.

[11 Bravo]

2. Palin's kid joined up to meet hot Muslim chicks, after Popeye's told him to fuck off.

Now she's a proud Blue Star mother.

[COLGATE4]

7. I though Racetrak (or whatever in hell his name is) joined the

military for the old-fashioned reason: either that or face a judge for some teenage vandalism thing.

21. Cutting the brake lines on school buses is a little beyond simple vandalism.

3. Did you listen to the speech she did in San Diego?

Amy Semple McPherson/Elmer Gantry at its finest. She is such a demagogue.

[HipChick]

8. I'm finally going to meet up with some of the Alaskan bloggers

when they come into town for the 10.30 rally...it's going to be interesting..:fistbump:

[Blue_In_AK]

15. Oh, cool.

Who will you be meeting? We have some very good writers here.

[HipChick]

18. All or any of them...

Couldn't resist..:rofl: I'll be blogging it..

[Kind of Blue]

9. I like that I had no idea that she was here.

I find her rather kitschy, like a garden gnome.

[Blue_In_AK]

17. Garden gnome.

:) I like that. Unfortunately, unlike a garden gnome, Sarah can talk.

She was speaking to some Iraq veterans running for office group. The speech is up at Palingates, if anybody wants to watch her come totally unhinged (again). http://palingates.blogspot.com/2010/10/sarah-palins-speech-in-san-diego-sarah.html

[Kind of Blue]

20. Thanks, Blue_In_AK!

I'll checkout what the talking gnome had to say :)

4. The only reason Palin gets media coverage is because it's like watching a train wreck

Over & over & over.

[DemocracyInaction]

5. Let's see her debate

..Michelle on ANYTHING. Hell, she can even do it on "mama bear cooking" (remember the interview with her where she was stuffing hot dogs with cheese to feed the brood???--apparently MaMa Bears feed their kids crap--and it looked like it took all her brains to stuff the hot dog.) She couldn't hold up even if they talked "beauty" 'cause Palin is a dog compared with Michelle's sophistication. And, god, if they got off of the topic of stuffing hot dogs, Palin would not have a clue what Michelle was saying 'cause it would go waaay over her head, ya betcha!

[polichick]

6. Psycho Sarah is proud to be a mean girl...

She's too stupid to know how pathetic she really is.

[polly7]

10. She knows exactly what Michelle Obama meant ......... she's just

trying to get some mileage for her failing image twisting and lying, nothing unusual. 'Mean, vindictive, dumb girl'.

[rustydog]

11. Palin? taking cheap shots? REALLY! has she EVER been cerebral?

I think not. of course she can refudiate me any time.

[Cid_B]

12. That was not the best comment...

... It really seems to have lingered. It's unrealistic to expect that something that can so easily be seen in a negative way will just poof and vanish.

[PearliePoo2]

13. She gets tears in her eyes all right..

When she remembers the court gave the Trackster the option of military or jail for the school bus brake-line vandalism.
Oh...and why is he out of the service so soon anyway?
Oh, and another thing about those service men she is so proud of. What about MooseKiller's young military family friend who is now being investigated for murder? Bring tears to your eyes, eh Sarah?

[spanone]

14. she's a scam artist. a cheap flim-flammer. huckster.

[Taverner]

16. A grifter. Lonseome Rhodes in female form

[lunatica]

19. Tearing down others to give herself a compliment so others will love her

shows she has a severe lack of qualifications to stand on. If you'll notice she always makes herself look good by bouncing criticisms off of others.

Soon even her teabaggers will start to notice she hasn't said anything new in 2 years.

[Scurrilous]

22. Kick

:kick:

[Skittles]

23. disgusting

even Laura Bush had grace when asked about Michelle's remark
