Condilicious Condi would have covered all the suspect classifications (female, black and suspected lesbian). If Condi would have married Charlie Crist . . . Last time we saw Charlie he was running to call off his wedding and join the Log Cabin Republicans.
Well, she did what a mom usually does. When Sarah Palin had her photo op with Afghan President Hamid Karzai she asked . . . music . . . drum roll . . . what his son’s name is and she replied “oh, nice.” And, that my readers sums up Sarah Palin’s intense and dramatic meeting with a world leader.
Yes, seems the good ol’ boys don’t trust the little girl. First they allow her to use girl debate rules and now girl meet the men of the world press rules.
What to say . . . ?
By all accounts (primarly WSJ’s Elizabeth Holmes) the dog and pony show reached “comical levels” as McCain’s boys tried to keep the girl VP from media questions. (In contrast, Joe Biden has done more than 80 interviews with local and national media since the Democrats held their national convention late last month.)
NOTE: After CNN threatened not to film (and show the free pr – a “photo spray”) Sarah Palin meeting world leaders, McCain finally allowed 1 media rep in the room. So, CNN producer Peter Hambywas the only editorial member in the room. Here is his blow by blow of this historic meeting.
Logistics: Your pooler was blocked by the campaign from attending the Karzai pool spray, along with other wires and print outlets. The only media representatives were a TV crew, producer and still four photographers. Several hours of pleas from different outlets were unsuccessful. Palin spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt gave this statement to the AP, Reuters and your pooler: “The decision was made for this to be a photo spray with still cameras and video cameras only.”
The decision was then reversed and your pool will be allowed in for the remaining two meetings. More on all of this below.
Now for the news:
Gov. Sarah Palin emerged from the Millennium Broadway hotel at 11:35am EST in a beige SUV headed for the InterContinental at 111 E. 48th St. Senior policy advisers Randy Scheunemann and Steve Biegun were outside the hotel waiting for her. Palin was wearing all black. No sign of Todd or the kids (your pooler did not see them, but has not confirmed they were not there).
Your pooler then ran into the hotel lobby and was restrained from boarding the crowded gold elevator, despite her shouting on behalf of the pool. The group of cameras returned via another elevator just a few moments later. When asked for an on-the-record statement, Schmitt offered up the above explanation.
***From CNN’s Peter Hamby, who was the only editorial representative allowed in:
The press pool (still and TV cameras only, plus this producer) entered into Karzai’s sizeable suite at the Intercontinental shortly after noon. One handler, who did not appear to be with the campaign but rather with Karzais’ entourage, repeatedly said “No writers,” and he tried to keep this pooler from entering the room when he saw my notebook. However, Chris Edwards, Palin’s deputy chief of staff, allowed me to pass.
Palin was seated in a large chair a few feet from Karzai, with a table in between them. From the view of the pool cameras, Palin sat on the left, and Karzai to the right.
Seated slightly behind Palin were foreign policy advisers Steve Biegun and Randy Scheunemann, who are accompanying the governor in her motorcade today.
As the pool entered, the Afghan president appeared to be telling Palin about his young son, who was born in January 2007.
Palin, her legs crossed and at one point patting her heart, was leaning in eagerly and smiling. Karzai, wearing his traditional clothes but without his trademark karakul hat, was also grinning while discussing the child. His remarks were unintelligible as the noise from the clicking cameras drowned them out.
This was the only exchange that was heard:
“What is his name?,” Palin asked.
“Mirwais,” Karzai responded. “Mirwais, which means, ‘The Light of the House.’”
“Oh nice,” Palin responded.
“He is the only one we have,” remarked Karzai.
At this point, the pool was hustled out the room and down to the hotel lobby. Pool was in the room for a grand total of 29 seconds.
We may not always agree with Senator Hagel (R- Nebraska) but he is honest, truthful, doesn’t work for Republican spinners & he’s not afraid to say what we don’t want to hear.
Finally, an honest Republican politician! And, obviously it isn’t this woman.
Quotes from Republican Senator Chuck Hagel:
“She doesn’t have any foreign policy credentials.”
“You get a passport for the first time in your life last year? I mean, I don’t know what you can say. You can’t say anything.”
“I think they ought to be just honest about it and stop the nonsense about, ’I look out my window and I see Russia and so therefore I know something about Russia,’” he said. “That kind of thing is insulting to the American people.”
“But I do think in a world that is so complicated, so interconnected and so combustible, you really got to have some people in charge that have some sense of the bigger scope of the world,” Hagel said. “I think that’s just a requirement.”
“I think it’s a stretch to, in any way, to say that she’s got the experience to be president of the United States,” Hagel said.
What about the “lipstick on a pig” hoopla: “It’s terrible,” he said. “It debases the system.”
My in-laws love Sarah Palin because “she lives close to Russia and has more executive experience than anyone running.” And, yes Virginia, they do watch FOX News 24-7. However, they’ve apparently forgotten that they hate John McCain. Only a few months ago we heard them yelling and screaming about turncoats like John McCain and Chuck Hagel, those terrible evil Republicans who will do or say anything to get on a Sunday talk show.
Now they love the McCain + Token ticket. I’m sure that they will vote early and often for the pair. I can only shake my head and wonder why they don’t listen to or read anything except FOX. If so maybe they would read what folks in Alaska are saying about Palin. Folks like the president of the Alaska senate, a woman who is a Republican and every bit if not more qualified than Sarah Palin. More importantly, she is someone who has worked with Palin and who actually knows her.
In fact, my in-laws might even find The Ancourage Daily News. The paper has a story that is a must read for all voters, “Choice stuns state politicians.” I’ll tell our readers about it since my in-laws are too busy watching FOX to even glance at any alternative sources of information. By the way, I love to watch FOX News. It is one of the most entertaining television shows on. I don’t believe a word of what they say but it’s amusing to watch their dog and pony show.
Back to the Alaska article, most shocking are the statements of State Senate President and Republican, Lyda Green, who said she thought it was a joke when someone called her at 6 a.m. to give her the news.
Palin, center, as Republican Senate President Lyda Green and House Speaker John Harris, R-Valdez, look on.
Green said, “She’s not prepared to be governor. How can she be prepared to be vice president or president? Look at what she’s done to this state. What would she do to the nation?”
So who is Green and why should we care what she thinks of Sarah Palin? Green has lived in Sarah Palin’s Wasilla since 1984. She and her husband Curtis have 3 children and 8 grandchildren.
She has been a state senator since 1995, is the chair or co-chair of many important committees in the Senate. Green is active in Palmer First Baptist Church, is a former PTA/PTO school volunteer, former member and president of the Mt. McKinley Lioness Club, former chair of the Miners and Trappers Ball, a life member of the NRA, belongs to the Wasilla Sunrise Rotary, and the Palmer Lion’s Club.
Green is also a cancer survivor and the person at the center of another Plain controversey. On January 15, Palin laughed along with an Alaskan shock-jock DJ who called Green “cancer,” a “bitch” and ridiculed her weight. You can listen to the radio exchange between Palin and the shock-jock in this video:
What happened after the radio show? Well, Green told that story to US Magazine, “People were so nice and were mortified. Newspapers that were never Lyda Green-friendly, they demanded that [Sarah] apologize,” Green told
“You know what she said? She said, ‘I’m calling to apologize. I hope you didn’t misunderstand the radio program,'” Green says. “I told her, ‘I didn’t misunderstand.'”
The Alaska state senator added, “It’s not a good way to behave. Why would anybody call a shock jock?”
So what did Green think when she heard Palin was McCain’s pic, “It’s been very difficult to work with her. I wish there had been more vetting.”
When my niece was 3 she had a Barbie that she carried everywhere she went. She usually carried it by the big hair. The doll had an acid wash mini skirt and some sort of lacy pink shirt, messy porno hair, hoop earrings, and . . . no panties. My friends and I referred to it as “slut Barbie.” Of course, we didn’t say that in front of my niece.
My older niece had a medical condition that required her hospitalization on a regular basis resulting in little niece & slut Barbie hanging out with me on a regular basis. One evening we stopped by the Catholic hospital to visit her sister. A young priest walked up, striking a conversation with my niece, he looked at the little doll clutched firmly in my niece’s puffy little 3 year old hand and asked, “oh, and who’s this?” My niece proudly held her Barbie doll up and smiled, “Slut Barbie.”
After writing this post, I had to find "Slut Barbie." I was a little off on my description but this is definitely her.
Without further introduction. The College On the Record Barbie:
Comes with everything you see here:
– Dead Caribou
– M-16
– Snowmobile
– Sexy Librarian Glasses
She even talks with such fun phrases like:
– “I’m a pitbull with lipstick!”
– “My family is off-limits!”
– “What is it the Vice President actually does?”
Coming soon: Bristol Palin with inflatable baby bump and John McCain with portable green screen background!
Description:
Johnnie’s girls will go to great lengths to preserve the sanctity of marriage, even if it means ruining every gay wedding one by one. And if someone gets decapitated, well then that’s just a bonus.
More McCaingels on Monday!

Just saw this. Haven’t had time to research every claim but most appear to be true. Why isn’t the media bringing up any of this?
I’m a lesbian with a lesbian spouse and a child. Nothing is more important to me than my family. I do not want John McCain to win. He does not value my family and I don’t value him or his trophy, husband-stealing, filthy rich wife.
In fact, with all of the crap about Obama’s wife, why hasn’t the media jumped on Ms. McCain’s former drug addiction and theft?
Can you imagine a First Lady who admits that she stole drugs from her own nonprofit medical relief organization to feed her drug addiction?
Here are the first few paragraphs from an old article on this at Salon:
Oct. 18, 1999 | PHOENIX — GOP presidential candidate John McCain’s wife Cindy took to the airwaves last week, recounting for Jane Pauley (on “Dateline”) and Diane Sawyer (on “Good Morning America”) the tale of her onetime addiction to Percocet and Vicodin, and the fact that she stole the drugs from her own nonprofit medical relief organization.
