Donkey?

have you read the totally "plausible" (read: not plausible in the least) explanation?

On the same day, reports began flying about Sarah Palin's $150,000 wardrobe, the Eye was in Reno at a rally where the vice presidential contender donned something she got for free: a Democratic scarf given to her by Linda Williams, a former Californian.

Williams said she gave up her prized vintage 1970s scarf — blue and red and ringed with donkeys — to send a message that she was supporting Palin after Hillary Rodham Clinton left the race. And she said Palin was happy to wear it as she autographed signs at the rally Tuesday.

oh yeah. i tooooooootally believe that story.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck calls media scrutiny of Palin sexist, then uses gender stereotypes.

Palin was prompted by her introducer, Elisabeth Hasselbeck of The View, who in a self-described “sassy” preamble, said the media had become “fixated” on what she wore.

“Now, with everything going on in the world, seems a bit odd,” Hasselbeck said. “But let me tell you, this is deliberately sexist.”

“Did I mention that this woman, she’s got a real knack for cleaning,” Hasselbeck said. “She cleaned up house in Alaska. Yup. All that corruption went out with the trash.”

...

“It’s getting hot up here,” Hasselbeck said. “And I promise you, when it gets hot in the kitchen, she may be from Alaska, but this woman can take the heat.”

Cacophony, the ball is in your court.

elisabeth hasselbeck makes me want to eat my own eyeballs.

frankly i don't see anything sexist in the whole clothing-gate thing. no one gave a shit about what she wore until it came out that the amount of money spent was exorbitant. the controversy has been about the finances, not about the style. if joe biden had gone on a shopping spree and spent $150k on navy blue suits it would have been just as controversial.

i can't recall a word being breathed about palin's choice of clothing before the receipts were made public. to me, hasselbeck's comment says more about her own sexism and her peabrained knee-jerk connection between "women" and "clothing." she might as well have followed up her statement with, "tee hee don't you love shoes?!?!11"

Cacophony gains 6 experience points. It would've been more, but Elisabeth Hasselbeck is an easy target.

hahah - i read that as: Palin is going ROUGE!!

freaking MSM and their fixation on Saks purchases.

[cacophony]

i totally think this woman has fallen victim to the delusion that takes over so many mismanaged celebrities. she's just another in a long line of stars who go crazy from being surrounded by yes-men. michael jackson, brittney spears, and now sarah palin.

Gov. Palin warns of communism by Obama in Iowa.


When I saw this clip today my first thought is Palin going rouge, but since she is struggling to get through the lines even by her own standards, I don't know what to think.

Money quote:
"See, under a big government, more tax agenda, what you thought was yours would really start belonging to somebody else, to everybody else. If you thought your income, your property, your inventory, your investments were, were yours, they would really collectively belong to everybody. Obama, Barack Obama has an ideological commitment to higher taxes, and I say this based on his record... Higher taxes, more government, misusing the power to tax leads to government moving into the role of some believing that government then has to take care of us. And government kind of moving into the role as the other half of our family, making decisions for us. Now, they do this in other countries where the people are not free. Let us fight for what is right. John McCain and I, we will put our trust in you."

... like most of Western Europe you mean?

This really is last-ditch scaremongering. Obama is right of centre by any European standard.

That's what's funny about it all. They must imagine we're here in grey uniforms eating our state-supplied "United Kingdom of Britain" Corn Flakes or something...
