I wish the media would STFU about Palin.
She lost the election in 08. She has no chance of ever winning. Most of her endorsed candidates failed. In polls for republicans for 2012, she comes in far behind Romney and Huckabee. She is an absolute nobody, so why is CNN fucking talking about her nonstop. Hey Wolf Blitzer, shut the fuck up.

14. With that voice?

I find it hard to believe that men would find her to be sexy. You betcha!

18. I've heard the guys on msnbc tease a couple of men about this...
...including Pat Buchanan and one of the right-wing journalists (can't think of his name). Crazy, huh?

24. Those guys are sexist pigs

They probably talk about women like that all the time. Bush made some comment
about Nancy Pelosi once. It was caught on a live mic, I think. Yucky.

2. Why?
I hope they talk about her nonstop
& she continues to represent the Republican Party
in all her awshucksing glory.

3. She's "interesting," for some reason people want to hear about her.
There's a market, so she's going to stay in the spotlight. That's just capitalism.

Bread and circuses.

4. I will never forgive McCain for her.
She was completely unknown until he 'picked' her as veep. She's vapid, stupid, mean, and loud.

11. It's not gonna happen, if they ever manage to brainwash enough Americans to put Palin
in to the Oval Office, their ultimate corporate supremacist, moist dreams will come to fruition.

Thanks for the thread, glen.

17. Thanks for the rant

I feel the same way! I'm sick of seeing her face everywhere and her ridiculous hairdos.
I do like the fact that she pisses Karl Rove off though.

19. The fact that an idiot like Palin can turn the world on its ear...
...shows us something. Either the media has become hopelessly intractable or we are using it poorly. It is pretty pathetic that she is able to do what she is doing. And I do think we are using the media poorly. We are trying to deal with a completely new media environment using 1970s approaches.

I wrote a thread on it, but it is sinking fast.

20. I couldn't agree more.
Nobody cares about Sarah Palin and her stupid little brats. And she won't get elected president in 2012 or beyond (and if she does, I'm moving out of this country and never coming back).

Sarah Palin and Tea Party,
GO FUCK YOURSELF!

21. She is everywhere and has a snowball's chance in hell of getting anyplace
politically.

I just got my flu shot-----too bad there isn't a Sarah shot that would protect us from the insane publicity.

23. So Many Problems And All We Get is Palin, O'Donnell
it's nauseating overkill.

I hate John McCain.
