Speed-reading: Ms. Alaska
Miss Wasilla 1984.
Take a closer look at McCain’s veep choice in Timothy Egan’s “Ms. Alaska” article here in the NYT.
Speed-read skim round-up of the piece, followed by the same for comments:
She hunts! She fishes! She eats moose burgers!
“Sarah Barracuda,” as she’s known
took on the kleptocracy
Second, she rejected the “bridge to nowhere,”
But she has her own ethics concern
Could Palin take on Putin?
the pork-loving congressman
Track, Bristol, Willow, Piper and Trig
“hockey mom,”
Militantly anti-choice and evangelical
Palin favors drilling for oil
also the echo of Dan Quayle
Comments:
this is a no-brainer, thumbs down, and pure gimmickry
Don’t forget her husband works for BP also.
baldly patronizing attempt to pick up votes from disaffected supporters of Hillary Clinton
Personally, I’m pro condom.
What a lightweight, but I like her!
I fail to see why abortion and her child with Down’s Syndrome are being so quickly linked.
Her attacks on corruption IN HER OWN PARTY are incredible.
Looks more like Gina Davis.
I was going to also ask who takes care of her Down’s syndrome child? The nanny?
I am giddy, excited, enthused and finally feel excited about this election. Brilliant move…. So long obama.
Palin = Game, Set and Match.
Such a complex woman…gives her kids names that you would expect to be given to a sled team.
Barack who????
You have got to be kidding.
Can you be in on one hand pro-life and on the other hand … enjoy hunting? (Ed. note: Good point!)
Don’t make this about that tired old abortion topic…
I am totally pleased with McCain’s choice for VP as it will now guarantee that Obama will become President.
She took on big oil up here and beat them soundly (no small feat considering their influence up here).
When I heard the Palin announcement this morning I felt truly ill.
pro-life,pro-energy, pro-family, pro-christian, pro-business, pro-strong military
Take McCain’s age and life expectancy
One pantsuit does not fit all.
I voted for Hillary – I’l vote for McCain.
You Go Girl
What a joke!
Palin is repulsive from the word go.
she sounds a bit like Erin Brockovich, only cuter
Frankly, at 43-44 and after 4 kids, she would have done better using birth control.
the beauty queen image is pretty, but the implications are really ugly
I happen to think she’s a breath of fresh air for all Americans!
LOL, one day as mayor of a town of 9000 gives her more executive experience than Obama, who has never run anything in his life.
As a woman, I feel as if my intellect has been insulted.
I think I’m in love.
