Editors   LA Times: Palin like Princess Diana   9/12/2008 6:00:00 PM    Comment now LA Times: Palin like Princess Diana
Palin, a quarter-century older than Diana was when she said ''yes'' to Charles, likewise has admirers who proclaim that her very inexperience makes her perfect for the vice presidency, who say that her personal and family troubles make them love her all the more.

The old saying goes, ``Marry in haste, repent at leisure.'' Will the new saying go, ''Vote in haste, repent at leisure''?

Editors   NYT: Blindsided by Bush Doctrine   9/11/2008    Comment now NYT: Blindsided by Bush Doctrine
And she seemed blind-sided by the question about the Bush doctrine, guessing that Mr. Gibson was asking about Mr. Bush’s “world view.”

Granted, this might not be something that your average hockey mom would know, but it probably is something that a commander-in-chief-in-waiting might have considered.

Ms. Palin appeared as an eager student, someone who has crammed for an exam a...

Russell Brand was forced to cut jokes about Sarah Palin sending her own daughter to the electric chair when he presented the MTV Video Music Awards, he has said.

But also, as a Republican she is pro-execution so she is going to give her the electric chair for being a ...

Editors   An icon of fertility   9/9/2008    Comment now An icon of fertility
... such ancient and enduring symbols of fertility (yes, that's what they are!) were understandably absent, a rather newer and quietly powerful symbol of fertility was at centre stage in St. Paul, Minn., in the person of Sarah Louise Heath Palin, mother of five.

What happened in between? According to Mr. Bitney, Gov. Palin got a call from another old friend, Scott Rich...

Editors   Palin: white trash vote   9/9/2008    Comment now Palin: white trash vote
She added nothing to the ticket that the Republicans didn't already have sewn up, the white trash vote, the demographic that sullies America's name inside and outside its borders yet has such a curious appeal for the right.

So why do it?

It's possible that Republican men, sexual inadequates that they are, really believe that women will vote for a woman just because she...
Editors   Obama Campaign: McCain and Palin were lying about their records   9/8/2008    Comment now Obama Campaign: McCain and Palin were lying about their records


I've got to admit, these folks are shameless.

Politicians lying about their records? You don't call that maverick - you call it more of the same.

Laura Ingraham and Gutman were discussing Sally Quinn's comments

"Not only do we have a woman with five children, including an infant with special needs, but a woman whose 17-year-old child will need her even more in the coming months.

Editors   The current war in Iraq as a messianic affair   9/2/2008    Comment now The current war in Iraq as a messianic affair
Three months before she was thrust into the national political spotlight, Gov. Sarah Palin was asked to handle a much smaller task: addressing the graduating class of commission students at her one-time church, Wasilla Assembly of God. Her speech in June provides as much insight into her policy leanings as anything uncovered since she was asked to be John McCain's running mate. Speaking b...
Editors   Jewish voters may be wary of Palin   9/2/2008    Comment now Jewish voters may be wary of Palin
Palin's social conservatism, her paper thin record on Israel, and - perhaps most importantly - her cultural roots in evangelical Christianity may be a major turnoff to Jewish voters.
