Sarah Palin strode onto the stage, cheeky from the start. "Can I call you Joe?" The normally voluble Joe Biden seemed restrained by comparison as Palin made her play for the working-class, Joe Sixpack voters that have been his bread and butter as a politician. She's short on facts, but she has command of phrases ("We're mavericks!") and she strings them together with good effect. Biden looked on with a mixture of awe and horror as she did her every-woman show, winking at the camera, celebrating hockey moms and giving a shout-out to her brother's third-grade class.
She succeeded in quieting calls from worried Republicans that she should get off the ticket, that she had become an embarrassment after interviews with CBS anchor Katie Couric revealed her shallow grasp of national issues. Polls taken immediately after the debate showed Palin did little to improve her standing as someone ready to be president, but she is expert at tapping into the attitudes and resentments of small town Americaeven if when you listen to what she says, it's mostly gibberish when it comes to actual plans and policies.

Let’s hope so, Elly. Oh, and ya might wanna take cover.
Ms. Clift, you are a bitter witch.
Ordinarily, I would put a “Barf Alert”, but I think saying Eleanor Clift was the author of this piece was sufficient warning.
Fixed it.
“Whatever else Palin does in this race, she has ignited the culture war”
Chalk one up for Sarah.
Eleanor Clift always reminded me of the Instant Martians on the Bugs Bunny Show.
The left tries to deny that they are even fighting a culture war. Much like the biggest lie ever told, when Satan said “I don’t exist”.
Meanwhile, they are shoving filth in our faces and in our children’s faces, denigrating our values, and turning our children against America & traditional values.
It’s just that Eleanor prefers to listen to “uh...huh...uh...er....I....uh....”
Yeah, those bitter clingers really like this goofy know nothing....
Ms. Clift speaks as if reigniting the culture war is a bad thing.....I was just thinking the other day the culture war was totally lost. Who would think the crabby elitist Ms. Clift would make my day!
“It’s mostly gibberish”
Add Eleanor Clift to:
1. EJ Dionne
2. K Parker
3. That twit on MSNBC
4. Chris Matthews
5. K. Olbermann
6. Jack Cafferty
7. Campbell Brown
8. Mo Dowd
9. Feel free to add your own selections.
Skank, mate, skank.
;^)
Unlike Barry O. who is as clear as the desert sky when talking about his plans for "Change". /sarc
Peggy Noonan, Kathleen Parker

once again bogus polls and Ms Clift, this wonderful Alaskan woman has more on the ball to be president than the pretender Obama himself, whose only experience is Chicago, Daley-Machine, slimeball, ACORN politics.
In Clift’s magical fuzzy world...
Muslims causing pressure for change in U.S. businesses and local communities. Not indicative of a culture war.
Sarah Palin participating in a political debate. Serious evidence of a culture war.
Noonan later redeemed herself, and K Parker is that women.
IMO, her column stating that Gov Palin should withdraw was so vapid that she does not deserve to have her full name used.
Look what you have to look forward to.
You will be the next Helen Thomas, poor girl!
HAHAHAH! Everybody is stupid... Stupid... stupid stupid...
Anyone who is a conservative is stupid.. You ever notice how they do that?
They tried their damndest to make everyone think Sarah was slow or not bright. Then all of a sudden POW! Ah she did better than expected... Bless her heart blah blah blah... even people on FOX were saying BS like that.
I think Barbara Walters, Oprah and Joy Behart are not that smart.
Add Charlie Gibson as well, his edit of the Gov Palin interview was almost criminal IMO.
“Gitlin came back hard, saying we should be embarrassed that we don’t know more languages, and that there is a difference between being an elite, which Obama is and has earned by virtue of his intellect and accomplishments, and being an elitist, which he is not.”
Obama is the most imperious, nose-in-the-air poser ever to make it onto the national political scene. He is definitely an elitist snob with little reason to be so. And his ‘intellect’ is nothing to be impressed with. Who knows what his academic ‘accomplishments’ are as he is about the only nominee on record about whom almost nothing is known. Grades, SATs, LSAT? Affirmative action admittance to Harvard Law?
But back to the intellect. He is one of the inarticulate candidates ever without his teleprompter. He becomes muddled and confused without it, or when questions come up he had no memorized answer for. He’s a poser, and Eleanor Clift and all her coharts can’t put out enough meaningless words to change that fact.
Noonan later said words that meant, “OMG, I got caught being honest in public!” Take my word for it; I speak fluent Female. There wasn’t a woman on the convention live thread who feel for that “apology.”
I’m still waiting for someone to provide evidence - like grades, SAT scores, patents, etc. - of Obama’s alleged intelligence. And what foreign languages does he speak?
I thought she was a “has been”.
Hmm...can’t argue with that:
1. EJ Dionne
2. Campbell Brown
3. Chris Matthews
4. K Olbermann
5. Jack Cafferty
6. Gloria Steinem
7. K Parker
8. That twit on MSNBC
9. Peggy Noonan
I think I missed one, but that is a good start, these alleged “Journalists/Reporters” all have said or written simply terrible things about Sarah Palin.
Oh yeah, Alan Colmes and his websites speculation that flying back to AK to have Trig may have contributed to his Down Syndrome Condition.
No matter how this election turns out, those people and others are the Media’s “Filthy Dozen”.
If Eleanor was so smart she wouldn’t be a democrat..
10. Charlie Gibson
11. Eleanor Clift
I stand corrected and contrite. In my defense, I can only say that if you knew any of my family you'd understand my aversion to reptiles.
How are things in Slovakia, AlexW? I’ve always enjoyed your news from abroad!
She is a fixture on that PBS Sunday Morning Show, Pat B is on it as well as Tony Blankley sometimes.
I can picture the host, but have forgotten his name.
That Mika-something on Fox News should be included. She’s the “blonde” who had a meltdown when John McCain mentioned that she’s an Obama supporter.
Mika Brezinski is on M(essiah)SBC’s Mornin Joe.
She did melt down, but I haven’t seen her go out of her way to just issue slanders or use the editing room to enforce their Bias.
I’ve known Eleanor since the late seventies and I’ve never known her to be right on anything. A lifetime of being constantly wrong makes you very bitter.
Libs love the term ‘Culture War.’
Let’s see.....we had an American Culture....liberals/socialists/communists decided they didn’t like it and attacked.
Is it a war or is it just a constant attack from the left?
Oh, okay. I just saw the video on a link through NewsBusters or something, and didn’t catch which cable network it was. And it’s true that she doesn’t seem to have an independent outlet to express her bias, just the usual :-).
“I’m convinced Eleanore Clift sleeps with a rag doll she calls DNC.”
Not a rag doll, it runs on batteries.
Ah, that accounts for those strange faces on the talking head shows she participates in.
Seriously, this is one wigged out woman.
She did her liberal duty.Bill never forgot her and she always got access.
And joked often about it privately over the years before her marriage to her now deceased husband
Now she throws sticks at Sarah Palin?
Interesting how Sarah's goodness offends liberals who live the muddy water life, accusing others of obscene things they have thought , said or done themselves in the shadows of their lives.
I must have missed those calls....
Source?
Those bitter people hanging on to their religion and guns...
i’m still waiting for someone to show me exactly what joe biden has accomplished in 35yrs in the Senate? Plagiarizing, voting against the Alaska Pipeline, having his womans bill declared unconstitiutional, losing 2 Pres. bids, gaffing every single day. Really, what has this man done of consequence in 35yrs?
What the hell use is an over the hill broad like Elenore Clift notes good for.
