The reality is that the skit reflects the truth. And it’s quite scary. Palin is completely unqualified for the vice presidency. Not only this, she is a real nut. The Republicans don’t want us to focus on the truthfulness of the skit, so throw out a red herring: It’s sexist. Good try, Repubs. Try again.
Posted by: ziadora | September 17, 2008, 11:21 am 11:21 am
What is “getting to be a bit much” is the MSM, and all of the posts here, simply ignoring Obama’s attempt to stall the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.
To leave them in harm’s way, simply for his own political advantage.
We have more than enough posts and stories about SNL, Palin’s tanning bed, sexism, etc. etc., but to continually ignore a story the American people might actually want and need to know about is troubling.

It’s the McCain whiners going to any length to make them look like their being picked on. Maybe if McCain or Palin had ANY substance or plan on the issues, comedians wouldn’t make fun of them.
It’s also interesting that McCain thought Obama needed a sense of humor over the New Yorker cover depicting him and Michelle in a ridiculous light
Hey, McCain get a sense of humor.

When I read “McCain-Palin campaign adviser emailed reporters…” with Palin’s opinion of the SNL skit about her, between the lines I’m reading “The McCain-Palin campaign staff has given the SNL skit a lot of thought and our staff feels it is in the campaign’s best interst for Ms. Palin’s opinion of the skit to be…”.
Why isn’t everyone incensed that Palin is contantly shielded from press and public questions? She keeps repeating the same things over and over and over in her speeches. She has no depth of knowledge or leadership what-so-ever and we are considering electing her to possibly lead our country.
The campaign staff knows there is a good chance she will hurt the campaign if she says anything not in the script, the very short, very controlled, non specific script. It sounds great when she says it, but wake up! The words mean nothing!

Give me a break man. How long is the GOP going to play this card? All the way until November? Anything negative said towards Palin is sexist all of a sudden? An investigation that the American people deserve to know the results of is tainted and being stalled?They tell Obama not to play the race card, now every card they play is the sexist one. SNL has had skits making fun of Senator’s Clinton and Obama…This act is getting old McCain camp!

There they go again – their double standards and hypocrisy are stunning!
When the celebrity ad came out about Obama, we were supposed to “lighten up”, they were funny, we were told by the Republicans!
Sarah Palin became a “rock star” overnight, and that was OAKY.
But when Obama attracted 85,000 plus at the Dem. Convention, that was a disgrace.
Spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate’s Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran’s Affairs committees, you don’t have any real leadership experience.
If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you’re qualified to become the country’s second highest ranking executive.

You can’t say anything negative against this women. I guess the american people aren’t falling for it b/c the polls are shifting back to Obama. And he’s regained his lead in Virginia and a close tie in Nevada.

That is bad, as we know the Mccain campaign has also said at one time that John McCain wasn’t speaking for the McCain campaign. And we have seen that the McCain campaign is not allowing Sarah Palin to speak for the McCain campaign, (aside from what they script and coach her on).
Does anybody else wonder who the McCain campaign really is.
I think it is Karl Rove and his protogee Schmidt. I think Mccain has given up his manhood in order to score this election.

Ro:
It’s not Republicans who are not allowing a black man into the White House. Republicans are voting Republican. If McCain had chosen Michael Steele, we’d be right there with them.
It’s the Democrats are going to go into the privacy of that booth and not vote for Obama. You have a real problem with your paternal, oh-so-caring view of the “poor and downtrodden” and you’re so certain of your moral superiority you can’t see it.
There’s a scene in the film “In The Heat Of The Night”, (not the crappy TV series)where the town boss explains to Sidney Portier how he loves “his Negros”, and cares for them like his hothouse orchids, while Sidney seeths in mortally offended dignity.
Watch it. See yourselves.
“Carly Fiorina, the woman John McCain sent out to defend Sarah Palin and rip anyone who calls her a tabula rasa on foreign policy and the economy, admitted Tuesday that Palin was not capable of running Hewlett-Packard.
That’s pretty damning coming from Fiorina, who also was not capable of running Hewlett-Packard.” – Maureen Dowd
It’s kind of scary. After eight years of Bush that Cliff is getting closer and closer. Not sure what America is thinking but since we are a Democracy I guess we will all fall off together. Imagine, once we were the greatest and only superpower on earth. Our forefathers must be crying in their graves. They gave us so much hope and opportunity. But for some reason, we can’t think for ourselves and change our destiny.

Jake, why are you reporting on something Fiorina, who just got taken to the woodshed, said three days ago like it was new news? Palin’s people haven’t changed their mind, Fiorina was just being an idiot. And now she is gone.
I don’t know about “sexist” but it certainly seemed “stupidist”.
Posted by: Mr. Coffee | September 17, 2008, 12:10 pm 12:10 pm
Carly Fiorina should not be regarded as a “Palin people” person. Palin’s press spokesman said Palin found it amusing and nothing out of the official campaign since then has been any different. And you’re behind here, Mr. Tapper. Fiorina made her comments on Monday, as I recall, or maybe even on Sunday. NOW you report it? After her comments about how no one on either ticket is capable of doing the job she, Ms. Fiorina, once did as a CEO of a major corporation? Unless Palin or McCain themselves complain, I’m going to assume that they are maintaining their sense of humor. It’s too bad Ms. FIorina doesn’t seem to have one.
Ehh, it was trying to show Palin as an airhead, don’t know if that is sexist…there was plenty of Quayle criticism that wasn’t sexist.
Thought…is Pelosi ready to be president? She is 3rd…
SNL was amusing, the visual, amazing but it was so kind and polite to both women I am shocked that there were complaints. I’d have laughed at a pushy bitch who wanted desperately to be CEO of a nation and hadn’t managed getting informed in time for a nationally broadcast interview. I’d have laughed at the woman simpering about her loving “momness” with at least two drug addicted, hoodlum kids. I’d have laughed at the right and at the media for seeing every flaw in Palin and McCain as virtue and every dumb error of the McCain bunch as wisdom.

Gov. Palin has been on the cover of Vogue, called a “MILF” by political pundits on both sides of the fence, and the media has gushed that she is glamorous; yet the McCain/Palin camp didn’t say a peep about any of this. (From a purely feminist standpoint, I would say “MILF” and “glamorous” are sexist remarks about a female candidate. When they start saying that about McCain himself, I’ll be ok with it.)
Yet one satire of Palin’s public image has them howling foul?
Maybe, just maybe, they need to examine the image Palin is projecting at the moment. So far, she has not shown herself to be a substantial candidate on the issues — their campaign have been running with her image. Almost like she’s the “trophy VP”, or a beauty queen of a candidate.
They are going to have to toughen up, as this little satire will soon be only be a drop in the bucket…
“McCain and running mate Sarah Palin, Alaska’s governor, say her state’s production of one-fifth of the country’s domestic energy supply is an important credential to put them in the White House. Their figure is inflated,” the AP reports. “The most recent figures show Alaska produced 3.4 percent of the nation’s total energy output in 2005. The state’s largest contribution to that figure was its oil production, which runs about 14 percent of the U.S. total. Alaska contributes about 2 percent of the nation’s natural gas production. It produces negligible amounts of coal and renewable energy, and has no nuclear energy. The only way to get close to the 20 percent figure is to look at Alaska’s proven oil reserves, the amount they have determined to be underground and available under current conditions, which amount to 18 percent of the U.S. total.”
Posted by: Palin is a Fraud | September 17, 2008, 12:51 pm 12:51 pm
CAN WE GET TO REAL ISSUES PLEASE? Obama makes no bones about his plans to go on a tax rampage. Not only would he increase the capital-gains tax rate from 15 percent to as much as 28 percent, he wants to allow the 2001 and 2003 Bush tax cuts to expire in 2010, which effectively raises taxes on Americans by tens of billions of dollars.
He also wants to do away with the $102,000 FICA payroll tax cap, which means anyone making over $102,000 would pay an additional 7 percent in taxes on earned income.
If you compare Sarah Palin speaking to “gals and guys” about the economy and Tina Fey – I’d say that the skit was extremely conplimentary to Sarah Palin. The woman actually said that government needed to have more regulation on Wall Street and that government needed to stay out of the free market economy back-to-back. Either she has some really dumb speechwriters or she really does ad lib sometimes.
Posted by: mara | September 17, 2008, 1:09 pm 1:09 pm
And down Carly Fiorina went, under the wheels of the No Talk Express.
It’s pretty bad that the media keeps attributing off-the-cuff remarks by McCain supporters to “the McCain Campaign.” I’ve never heard McCain say that he invented the Blackberry, nor did he/Palin say this skit was sexist.
And for the record, I’m a democrat who is pretty embarrassed by what I read here. I wish the rest of our party could agree to support Obama/Biden instead of just hating whoever opposes them.
methinks they doth protest too much…..
SNL has hit all political folks in the head since the 70′s….. now, McCain & Palin say that they are too good for political parody, you can’t critique them..
if they can’t handle a little bit of political ribbing how are they going to deal with the rest of the world?……. I guess like Bush they’ll attempt to blow it up and hope for the ‘rapture’.
Most people who save for retirement are seeing their savings evaporate due to the crisis in the financial markets. This is an invisible heavy tax to most of us. So to claim that the Democrats are going to raise taxes is ridiculous. What do you think the Bush administration did to us? They gave us rebate but didn’t watch whatever they were supposed to watch, and now some of us are loosing more that 50% in their portfolio. This is an incredible tax They bailed out companies on the tax payers back- isn’t that a tax? They increaded the deficit of the coutry 10 folds, isn’t that a tax? It is definately a tax for generations to come.
We need a change so the governament can watch that things like that will not happen. but don’t tell me that our economy is secured, it is not!
Well, ya know what….blame the media and the misogynists of the world. Because if sexism had been addressed a year ago when Hillary Clinton was being pounded by it EVERY SINGLE DAY, then it would have been nipped-in-the-bud and a non-issue by now. But no…everyone let Hillary get smacked daily with vicious sexist attacks and never said a word. Now, suddenly, everyone thinks sexism is so horrible and out of control. NEWSFLASH—IT’S BEEN OUT OF CONTROL!!! Wake up. It’s your own faults patriarchal America.
Lol, for a pair that keeps touting what tough and fearless “reformers” they are, they sure do whine a lot, and make a lot of implausible excuses for how full of BULL they are.
They look like a couple of excapees from that old TV show “To Tell The Truth,” and the beehive hair do just adds to that image in my head. :D

Meanwhile, why are some of the blogs connecting Troopergate to a possible coverup of some type of assault that Sarah Palin may know of.
I though it was the forensic kits and her being against abortion. The kits let a victim know she’s pregnant.
It now seems worse. She may know someone one of the guys Monegan was fired for trying to hire would have found.
Use reddit. You’ll find it. Like the witch hunter she prayed with in June, they’re not links to the Onion.

The Tina Fey SNL bit lampooning Governor Palin is hilarious.
The humor of the bit relies in part on a spot-on impression of Palin by Fey and also relies on the sexist stereotypes (i.e. Fey’s Palin striking beauty-queen poses and uttering stereotypically beauty queen-airhead remarks).
But this is HUMOR, and was not in any way “sexist” in a mean spirited sense.
SNL is, almost by definition, politically incorrect, so get over it.
Besides, Palin’s spokesperson told the press that she thought the skit was FUNNY.
Posted by: Stephen Gianelli | September 17, 2008, 2:12 pm 2:12 pm
I thought the skit was a reminder of what was done to Hillary Clinton. I thought it showed the irony of the media and the DNC’s part in trashing Clinton and now trying to do the same thing to Sarah Palin. After all, at the end of the skit Tina Fey told them all to “grow a pair.” Thank you, Tina.
Posted by: RL in Illinois | September 17, 2008, 2:37 pm 2:37 pm
Actually Amy said to grow a pair. Tina was the original in calling out the media in the first episode after the writer’s strike. What a shame it took a skit from her SNL weekend report to call it what it was. Again-thank you Tina Fey.

McCain and the Republicans will ride their dinosaurs with Jesus to victory in 2008!!!
I thought this was freaking hilarious!! As I’m sure most McCain-Palin supporters did everywhere. How can you not!! SNL took pot shots at both Palin and Hillary. Kinda crazy that SNL is fair and balanced, but our MSM isn’t. That’s the real joke!
Recently McCain’s campaign and supporters have gone negative against Mika Brzenski, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Oprah, and the View. Kind of an odd way to attack sexism.
On a sidenote, I was glad to see a mention of the the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens.
The Long Island City and Astoria neighborhoods are great places to explore as well.

Palin says she “sold the plane on ebay”, but the FACT is that it was listed on ebay but it never sold there. They sold it with a private broker at a loss. While it sat for months on ebay they lost money, they should have gone straight to the broker.
She says she and her kids hated to lose that Chef she fired. The chef got a new title and still cooks their meals.
She was for the bridge (on camera) until Congress stopped it (not Sara) then she was against but she still kept the money.
She says she fought against earmarks, but its been proven that she hired an Abramoff associate to lobby/fight FOR earmarks.
Whey you say something that isn’t true its a LIE and that makes you a LIAR.
She and McCain are both liars who have no business being in office.
Posted by: Jen | September 17, 2008, 4:21 pm 4:21 pm
I guess Carly really has disappeared. So who does McCain have now on teevee for economic issues? It can;t be Phil Gramm or Doug Holtz Eakin (mccain invented bberry). I suppose it’s Romney?
But Romney said it was reprehensible that mccain is a liar.
let me get this straight. 4 days later they want to try and push the sexism thing again? I guess when you’ve worn out the POW card, you have to go with the sexism card.
If Palin wants to cry about being besieged by sexist remarks she should go sit down with Clinton first off because she is the original victim of sexism.
I think they would be more upset over the fact it the harsh satire was too close to the bone for McCain/Palin camp.

If the tax cuts to corporations are the way to create a healthy economy, why is it in the tank right now. Cutting corporate taxes is supposed to create jobs, how many have been lost this month alone etc. Aren’t these the tax breaks that have been in effect for the last eight years? I know this is an oversimplication of all factors that have led to the economic crisis, but I always wonder when somebody claims that this is the way to stimulate the economy, why it hasn’t been working so well. Don’t underestimate the rich people’s ability to shelter their wealth, unless if I was rich I would’t trust this trickle down economy.

NEWS UPDATE:
SNL viewers hoping to see Palozi vs Reid will be disappointed to learn of the change to:
the good ole BOYS club vs Hillary
(for those less up to date, the good oleBOYS club will be represented by Senators, Kennedy, Kerry, McGovern, Biden, and Edwards, who as you may recall early on supported the junior senator over HER.)

And how about a post on the Iran protest event next Monday at the U.N., sponsored by several Jewish-American groups, that Hillary withdrew from because of Palin also being invited??
Funny that this is the post you would make regarding Hillary and Palin instead of the one that might actually be a REAL story……………….

its a skit!! she is what she is. no one called it sexist when hillary was impersonated. repulicans are just too busy with the little stuff and are trying to distract us from asking about the real issues. people wake up do we want another 8 years of hell.!!!

It’s the McCain whiners going to any length to make them look like their being picked on. Maybe if McCain or Palin had ANY substance or plan on the issues, comedians wouldn’t make fun of them.
It’s also interesting that McCain thought Obama needed a sense of humor over the New Yorker cover depicting him and Michelle in a ridiculous light
Hey, McCain get a sense of humor.

When I read “McCain-Palin campaign adviser emailed reporters…” with Palin’s opinion of the SNL skit about her, between the lines I’m reading “The McCain-Palin campaign staff has given the SNL skit a lot of thought and our staff feels it is in the campaign’s best interst for Ms. Palin’s opinion of the skit to be…”.
Why isn’t everyone incensed that Palin is contantly shielded from press and public questions? She keeps repeating the same things over and over and over in her speeches. She has no depth of knowledge or leadership what-so-ever and we are considering electing her to possibly lead our country.
The campaign staff knows there is a good chance she will hurt the campaign if she says anything not in the script, the very short, very controlled, non specific script. It sounds great when she says it, but wake up! The words mean nothing!

Give me a break man. How long is the GOP going to play this card? All the way until November? Anything negative said towards Palin is sexist all of a sudden? An investigation that the American people deserve to know the results of is tainted and being stalled?They tell Obama not to play the race card, now every card they play is the sexist one. SNL has had skits making fun of Senator’s Clinton and Obama…This act is getting old McCain camp!

There they go again – their double standards and hypocrisy are stunning!
When the celebrity ad came out about Obama, we were supposed to “lighten up”, they were funny, we were told by the Republicans!
Sarah Palin became a “rock star” overnight, and that was OAKY.
But when Obama attracted 85,000 plus at the Dem. Convention, that was a disgrace.
Spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate’s Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran’s Affairs committees, you don’t have any real leadership experience.
If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you’re qualified to become the country’s second highest ranking executive.

Say any negative comment about Palin and you’re called a sexist.

You can’t say anything negative against this women. I guess the american people aren’t falling for it b/c the polls are shifting back to Obama. And he’s regained his lead in Virginia and a close tie in Nevada.

*********************************************
That is bad, as we know the Mccain campaign has also said at one time that John McCain wasn’t speaking for the McCain campaign. And we have seen that the McCain campaign is not allowing Sarah Palin to speak for the McCain campaign, (aside from what they script and coach her on).
Does anybody else wonder who the McCain campaign really is.
I think it is Karl Rove and his protogee Schmidt. I think Mccain has given up his manhood in order to score this election.

Ro:
It’s not Republicans who are not allowing a black man into the White House. Republicans are voting Republican. If McCain had chosen Michael Steele, we’d be right there with them.
It’s the Democrats are going to go into the privacy of that booth and not vote for Obama. You have a real problem with your paternal, oh-so-caring view of the “poor and downtrodden” and you’re so certain of your moral superiority you can’t see it.
There’s a scene in the film “In The Heat Of The Night”, (not the crappy TV series)where the town boss explains to Sidney Portier how he loves “his Negros”, and cares for them like his hothouse orchids, while Sidney seeths in mortally offended dignity.
Watch it. See yourselves.

Imagine, once we were the greatest and only superpower on earth. Our forefathers must be crying in their graves. They gave us so much hope and opportunity. But for some reason, we can’t think for ourselves and change our destiny.

Carly Fiorina should not be regarded as a “Palin people” person. Palin’s press spokesman said Palin found it amusing and nothing out of the official campaign since then has been any different. And you’re behind here, Mr. Tapper. Fiorina made her comments on Monday, as I recall, or maybe even on Sunday. NOW you report it? After her comments about how no one on either ticket is capable of doing the job she, Ms. Fiorina, once did as a CEO of a major corporation? Unless Palin or McCain themselves complain, I’m going to assume that they are maintaining their sense of humor. It’s too bad Ms. FIorina doesn’t seem to have one.

SNL was amusing, the visual, amazing but it was so kind and polite to both women I am shocked that there were complaints. I’d have laughed at a pushy bitch who wanted desperately to be CEO of a nation and hadn’t managed getting informed in time for a nationally broadcast interview. I’d have laughed at the woman simpering about her loving “momness” with at least two drug addicted, hoodlum kids. I’d have laughed at the right and at the media for seeing every flaw in Palin and McCain as virtue and every dumb error of the McCain bunch as wisdom.

Only the technology-challenged campaign would have hired this incompetent B**** in the first place! (I’m talking about Fiorina in this care – not Palin)
Fiorina was run out Silicon Valley! She has zero, zip friends in Tech. No wonder she signed up with the McCain campaign. Its like going to a new school where no one knows what a loser you were at your last school.

Gov. Palin has been on the cover of Vogue, called a “MILF” by political pundits on both sides of the fence, and the media has gushed that she is glamorous; yet the McCain/Palin camp didn’t say a peep about any of this. (From a purely feminist standpoint, I would say “MILF” and “glamorous” are sexist remarks about a female candidate. When they start saying that about McCain himself, I’ll be ok with it.)
Yet one satire of Palin’s public image has them howling foul?
Maybe, just maybe, they need to examine the image Palin is projecting at the moment. So far, she has not shown herself to be a substantial candidate on the issues — their campaign have been running with her image. Almost like she’s the “trophy VP”, or a beauty queen of a candidate.
They are going to have to toughen up, as this little satire will soon be only be a drop in the bucket…

“McCain and running mate Sarah Palin, Alaska’s governor, say her state’s production of one-fifth of the country’s domestic energy supply is an important credential to put them in the White House. Their figure is inflated,” the AP reports. “The most recent figures show Alaska produced 3.4 percent of the nation’s total energy output in 2005. The state’s largest contribution to that figure was its oil production, which runs about 14 percent of the U.S. total. Alaska contributes about 2 percent of the nation’s natural gas production. It produces negligible amounts of coal and renewable energy, and has no nuclear energy. The only way to get close to the 20 percent figure is to look at Alaska’s proven oil reserves, the amount they have determined to be underground and available under current conditions, which amount to 18 percent of the U.S. total.”
Posted by: Palin is a Fraud | September 17, 2008, 12:51 pm 12:51 pm
CAN WE GET TO REAL ISSUES PLEASE? Obama makes no bones about his plans to go on a tax rampage. Not only would he increase the capital-gains tax rate from 15 percent to as much as 28 percent, he wants to allow the 2001 and 2003 Bush tax cuts to expire in 2010, which effectively raises taxes on Americans by tens of billions of dollars.
He also wants to do away with the $102,000 FICA payroll tax cap, which means anyone making over $102,000 would pay an additional 7 percent in taxes on earned income.

If you compare Sarah Palin speaking to “gals and guys” about the economy and Tina Fey – I’d say that the skit was extremely conplimentary to Sarah Palin. The woman actually said that government needed to have more regulation on Wall Street and that government needed to stay out of the free market economy back-to-back. Either she has some really dumb speechwriters or she really does ad lib sometimes.

It’s pretty bad that the media keeps attributing off-the-cuff remarks by McCain supporters to “the McCain Campaign.” I’ve never heard McCain say that he invented the Blackberry, nor did he/Palin say this skit was sexist.
And for the record, I’m a democrat who is pretty embarrassed by what I read here. I wish the rest of our party could agree to support Obama/Biden instead of just hating whoever opposes them.

Most people who save for retirement are seeing their savings evaporate due to the crisis in the financial markets. This is an invisible heavy tax to most of us. So to claim that the Democrats are going to raise taxes is ridiculous. What do you think the Bush administration did to us? They gave us rebate but didn’t watch whatever they were supposed to watch, and now some of us are loosing more that 50% in their portfolio. This is an incredible tax They bailed out companies on the tax payers back- isn’t that a tax? They increaded the deficit of the coutry 10 folds, isn’t that a tax? It is definately a tax for generations to come.
We need a change so the governament can watch that things like that will not happen. but don’t tell me that our economy is secured, it is not!

Well, ya know what….blame the media and the misogynists of the world. Because if sexism had been addressed a year ago when Hillary Clinton was being pounded by it EVERY SINGLE DAY, then it would have been nipped-in-the-bud and a non-issue by now. But no…everyone let Hillary get smacked daily with vicious sexist attacks and never said a word. Now, suddenly, everyone thinks sexism is so horrible and out of control.

Meanwhile, why are some of the blogs connecting Troopergate to a possible coverup of some type of assault that Sarah Palin may know of.
I though it was the forensic kits and her being against abortion. The kits let a victim know she’s pregnant.
It now seems worse. She may know someone one of the guys Monegan was fired for trying to hire would have found.

The Tina Fey SNL bit lampooning Governor Palin is hilarious.
The humor of the bit relies in part on a spot-on impression of Palin by Fey and also relies on the sexist stereotypes (i.e. Fey’s Palin striking beauty-queen poses and uttering stereotypically beauty queen-airhead remarks).
But this is HUMOR, and was not in any way “sexist” in a mean spirited sense.
SNL is, almost by definition, politically incorrect, so get over it.
Besides, Palin’s spokesperson told the press that she thought the skit was FUNNY.
Posted by: Stephen Gianelli | September 17, 2008, 2:12 pm 2:12 pm
I thought the skit was a reminder of what was done to Hillary Clinton. I thought it showed the irony of the media and the DNC’s part in trashing Clinton and now trying to do the same thing to Sarah Palin. After all, at the end of the skit Tina Fey told them all to “grow a pair.” Thank you, Tina.
Posted by: RL in Illinois | September 17, 2008, 2:37 pm 2:37 pm

Palin says she “sold the plane on ebay”, but the FACT is that it was listed on ebay but it never sold there. They sold it with a private broker at a loss. While it sat for months on ebay they lost money, they should have gone straight to the broker.
She says she and her kids hated to lose that Chef she fired. The chef got a new title and still cooks their meals.
She was for the bridge (on camera) until Congress stopped it (not Sara) then she was against but she still kept the money.
She says she fought against earmarks, but its been proven that she hired an Abramoff associate to lobby/fight FOR earmarks.
Whey you say something that isn’t true its a LIE and that makes you a LIAR.
She and McCain are both liars who have no business being in office.

If the tax cuts to corporations are the way to create a healthy economy, why is it in the tank right now. Cutting corporate taxes is supposed to create jobs, how many have been lost this month alone etc. Aren’t these the tax breaks that have been in effect for the last eight years? I know this is an oversimplication of all factors that have led to the economic crisis, but I always wonder when somebody claims that this is the way to stimulate the economy, why it hasn’t been working so well. Don’t underestimate the rich people’s ability to shelter their wealth, unless if I was rich I would’t trust this trickle down economy.
