She has the most beautiful cheekbones and golden complexion!

Glynnis,

That was nice of you to defend capitalism.

Indeed, what a couple of gallons of make-up and a shovel will do for even the most ordinary of looking women. As we know from Al Gore and the debates, the same technique just makes men look silly.

If you have some disposable income, you might consider donating to Sarah. I’m sure it is very expensive to look so cheap. Moreover, the more money she makes, the more nails she seems to buy for her political coffin. Net, of course, the money she spends buying her own book ….

I think I’ll have a pub party for my husband in order to celebrate the fact that he’d be quite incapable of typing anything like that.

On second thought, I think I’ll book the Vic’s.

It should be noted that Palin has said she will donate the speaker’s fee “back to the cause” and additionally notes in the op-ed that she will not “benefit financially” from the event, which sort of begs the question why get paid in the first place.

Isn’t that what fundraising is all about? charge a fee to hear speakers, and raise money for the party/candidate?

Is there a more media savvy politician out there than Sarah Palin? She sure uses it effectively, that’s for sure!

Sara(h) N. Italy, Palin cannot be a politician now. She is a news commentator. That would be a huge conflict of interest. I am sure neither Sarah nor FOX would do anything so unethical.

“I will not benefit financially from speaking at this event. My only goal is to support the grassroots activists who are fighting for responsible, limited government — and our Constitution. In that spirit, any compensation for my appearance will go right back to the cause.”

I assume that means the *party* and/or the *candidates*

i don’t believe i called her a politician.

Or, will it go into buying more of her own books to then give out to people who donate to her PAC? I like this bloggers take regarding ABC New’s story:

“ABC says Palin’s office hasn’t told them whether she is accepting royalties from these book sales.”

‘No doubt she has. She’s a grifter and a pathological liar. She’s absolutely using her PAC to funnel royalties to herself. Is there any doubt?

Also, this is yet another example of the far-right’s penchant for stacking book sales figures with bulk sales”

One other thing Palin should know; the Teabaggers have slammed the Supreme Court’s decision while, like the rest of the GOP, Palin has cheered it though, even in their decesion they manage to imply that unions are as powerful and wealthy as big businesses, which is BS.

“This decision basically gives the multinational corporations owned by foreign entities [the right] to pour unlimited funds into the pockets of corrupt corporate backed politicians to attack everything this country stands for. We might as well be able to vote for Disney or the SEIU as President of the United States of America”

Notice how that statement is verbatim, exactly what Obama and Dems reactions were. Right up until their “GOP Adopted Talking Points” about unions. Good luck convincing them to change their minds and join Palin on this one too.

It should be noted that Palin has said she will donate the speaker’s fee “back to the cause” and additionally notes in the op-ed that she will not “benefit financially” from the event, which sort of begs the question why get paid in the first place.

EXACTLY!!! It’s pure BS, why take the money in the FIRST PLACE! Palin thinks everyone is as stupid as her followers who wouldn’t DARE ask her a question.
WHY take a fee at all? BECAUSE it goes in her pocket, even her PAC money does what she says….it buys her books, pays her expenses…you can justify ANY expense…only morons would pay her the money in the first place.
75 percent of the USA is only PICKING on her, right! She is a grifter, a huckster, a CON of the highest order….we must be AFRAID of her because we see through her…what a knobcheese!

She has the most beautiful cheekbones and golden complexion!

During the presidential convention McCain staffers were ordered to keep vats of MANTAN for Mrs. Palin and the first dud, TADD.

Have MSNBC and CNN stated whether they will carry her speech live? I know the event is open to all the media, will her words be heard or will all we get are snippits, edits and scorn? We all know the leftwing media (ABCCBSNBCMSNBCCNN) hate her with a passion and we know that FNC is fair and balanced and plans to air her speech. Have the others said if they will or not?

Being a progressive, I like being in the noisy, close confines of a pub, with people who like to share ideas and where the common people are or have been or might go if they were so inclined. Preferably the latter. Much more gemütlich. Enjoy Vic’s, however. I would be interested in what the cocktail and hors d’oeuvres set thinks about Palin, Beck and O’Keefe.

I’d guess the cocktail and hors d’oeuvres set would think the same of them as they think of most people. They’d look down their noses at them. P.S. It’s not sexist to make fun of a woman’s looks if she’s a conservative.

Curiously, TfT: Sarah is not in office, and her job at FOX tends to indicate she is not a candidate in the near future. Why ought her speech be covered? Wouldn’t this be just like MSNBC covering a Greta Van Susteren speech to a group of community college students in a journalism course?

Glynnis called Palin a politician.

“Is there a more media savvy politician out there than Sarah Palin?”

Well TRRK, CNN, MSNBC, FNC and all the rest cover speeches by Clinton and Gore, and they aren’t politicians either.

Yes, TfT, but Clinton and Gore are newsworthy people who were elected to national office and did not resign to pursue personal goals. They also are not paid commentators on cable “news”. You really don’t have much of an argument in this instance.

writer, that’s his standard treatment of women who don’t share his views.

BTW– writer, you are a delight!

Why, thank you, Cecelia. Now to business. Clinton and Gore are two of the biggest shills in the world, squeezing every buck out of every word they say. Palin’s no longer in office and hasn’t announced her candidacy for anything. Why isn’t she allowed to make a buck, too? And it’s pretty naive to think the whole GE, Gore, ‘let’s go green’ connection isn’t making someone lots of cash.

TRRK: Palin is a newsworthy person as well, in fact, I’d say her words, even if written on her facebook page, are driving a lot of news stories. (See Rham as just one current example). Furthermore, she is the first female republican vp candidate — history making, just like Geraldine Ferraro. And as much as you want to say about why Palin resigned from the Governor of Alaska, I’ll take her at her word, not yours.

Gore should and will be in a heap of trouble, if and when the US media decides to report what the European media are reporting on Climategate. Just because ABCCBSNBSCNNMSNBCFNC are ignoring what’s going on, doesn’t mean it isn’t going on.

I repeat my question: IS CNN going to cover Palin’s speech or not? I understand MSNBC wasn’t invited, but CNN was. Will they are will they not give due deference to the tea party movement or will they continue their Susan Roesgyn type of reportage?

Addendum to my post above, Re: Palin’s speech:

MSNBC will carry it live as will FNC.

Answering my own question: CNN will NOT cover it, they have a documentary planned instead.

That is so unfair and so inaccurate. Just a quick list of conservative women I admire and respect despite holding views very different from my own: Anne Applebaum, Amy Holmes, Clare Booth Luce, Angela Merkel, Peggy Noonan, Sandra Day O’Connor, Kathleen Parker, Jenny Sanford, Jane Swift, Margaret Thatcher. If you want me to laud the conservative women so popular on cable “news” and blogs, Coulter, Ingraham, Malkin, Palin, then you are right. Not anything of value in a one of them. In my view, they do immeasurable harm to women in what they say, act, do and don’t do.

CSPAN will also be carrying Palin’s speech, plus other parts of the convention as well, Friday night and Saturday.

So, its:

FNC, MSNBC, CSPAN; CNN takes a pass.

Anyone know if Fox News Business Channel will air the Palin speech?

Writer, dittos to Cecelia’s compliment to you.

FYI, Cecelia and I have long been exposed to The ERSATZ Royal King under his legion of names and the behavior you see here from him is a lone snowflake perched on the tip of the iceberg.

In fact, Cecelia, do you remember he used “the makeup applied with a trowel” line to us a year or so ago when he was relating how if we had lived in 19339 Germany we would have no doubt been drunken Nazi sluts? As he is wont to tell us over and over his urbane, polished European sophistication can only stand so much until he can not restrain his justifiable wrath at the thought of conservative women.

When it comes to him I consider the source, snicker and move on.

Hey, Grammie! Good to see you here!

I must add, that you haven’t lived until you have seen a grown man level highly personal insults toward a woman based upon her choice of a screen name that declares herself to be a proud grandmother.

Classy…

It should be noted that Palin has said she will donate the speaker’s fee “back to the cause” and additionally notes in the op-ed that she will not “benefit financially” from the event, which sort of begs the question why get paid in the first place.

Changing an “outer garment” – doesn’t change one’s basic Philosophy (party)!
But the ‘other’ “bunch” – isn’t ANY Better!

Whoa!! Way to point out Royal’s hypocrisy. You go, girls.
