"Just Tell Them...
I have worked 40 years to make the Women's Suffrage platform broad enough for Atheists and Agnostics to stand upon, and now if need be I will fight the next 40 to keep it Catholic enough to permit the straightest Orthodox religionist to speak or pray and count her beads upon."

Where's The Outrage Now (Two Excellent Examples of the Media Double Standard Against Sarah Palin)
This morning I awake to two excellent editorial pieces from fellow PUMAs. Both pointing out the media bias ... nay, outright discrimination, against Sarah Palin.
First of all... the MSM seems to be just fine with how Bobby Jindal is flitting around the country, "trying out for president." I am sure the GOP is happy that he is being fairly well received. Still, I have to wonder... is PUMA for Life the only one calling attention to the double standard?
"Just wondering, because if that was Sarah Palin it would be all over the networks in the lower 48 and in Alaska that Palin is out campaigning at the state taxpayers expense (even if she was paying her own way; the truth might be whispered a month or so from now in the back pages of the local newspaper next to the obituaries); that Palin is only interested in herself, not the people of Alaska; that Palin sure has a big ego thinking she could actually be president since she has no foreign policy experience and comes from a remote state like Alaska."
Meanwhile, Spiral Gate's Willow is curious about why Michelle Obama's wardrobe is A-OK with the powers that rule the airwaves.
She asks us to recall the time when Me-Chelle told Jay Leno:
"We buy the clothes we wear."
And, to further make her point, she (said):
"I mean, especially a VP pick, it's like being shot out of a cannon ... All of a sudden, you are the center of attention. But our policy has always been whatever we wear, for us, we buy."
What a liar.
Tell that to Jason Wu and the other designers and jewelers who have given her freebies to wear, including a pair of diamond earrings valued at $17,313, and that inauguration gown. Even though Michelle's press secretary claims they paid for the clothes, an article in the New York times quotes the designers as saying they did not charge the Obamas."
I like the way PUMA for Life ends her little tirade, because I, too "wonder about the people of Alaska. Why are they not proud of their governor? I think that is very weird and if anyone from Alaska would like to explain I would love to hear it."
Thanks for asking, PUMA for life!
Thanks for asking, Willow.
Cuz, if you don't... who's gonna?

Michelle seems to be on the People mag cover every week playing "America's Sweetheart", but what has she ever accomplished in her adult life? I'm really getting FLOTUS Fatigue.
ReplyDeleteBTW, heard a rumor Sarah's running for Senator in 2010? I'd like her to wait til 2016 for Prez, unless Obama really, really messes up.
Someone from Alaska commented on my blog regarding how the people of Alaska feel about Sarah.:
ReplyDelete"I am from Alaska, the majority of people(in a recent poll)taken in the Juneau Empire newspaper her popularity is still 63% and the chances are still really good for reelection. The small percentage that criticize Sarah are the politically motivated Democrats and liberals. They have no set agenda about her they just want to smear her. These people are not happy with anything, they just want to whine and some are coming in from out of state with the same agenda. The ADN newspaper is the most biased in Alaska. The Alaska Dispatch and Juneau Empire seems to be fair and balanced"
There is a concerted effort by the Obots to demean and smear Sarsh on most of the Left leaning blogs--with the DUmp being one of the worst. And the regular mainstream media feds them with their smut!!
ReplyDeleteBobby Jingal was the 'new Sarah" for several days last week.
