Sarah the Diva, Looking Past John the Runner-Up

Add this to the Republicans' lessons learned in 2008: One man's maverick is another man's diva.
John McCain thought he was being clever picking a fellow maverick to be his running mate. The problem with mavericks, however, is that they don't follow instructions. Pretty soon they go rogue and before you know it you've got a full-fledged diva on your hands.
When Sarah Palin, looking sharp in a black suit that could have come from Neiman Marcus, took the stage at a campaign rally in Leesburg yesterday, it didn't take long for roguish elements to creep into her speech.
She was introduced by a construction company owner, Tito Munoz, whose name is common among Hispanics but not to the governor of Alaska. "I'll tell you, Tito," Palin said, "not since the Jackson Five has the name Tito been used so often."
The Diva then introduced the Dude. "Someone I'd like you to meet, and that is my husband, Alaska's 'first dude,' Todd Palin," she said. When the crowd answered with chants of "Duuuuude! Duuuuude!" she added: "It's about time we had a dude in the White House."

The only Diva in this equation are the effeminate MSM types with names like Dana, Pinchy, Maureen, and Anderson.

Amazing how the maggots echo each other. This is obvious non-sense and a distraction from Obama outing himself as a Marxist-Leninist.

So let’s see, Gov. Palin is no longer the country bumpkin who’s in over her head but rather the cunning, street smart politician who is wisely plotting her next political move.
It’s funny how that happens.

Out of all the wretched beltway columnists who have been slandering Governor Palin, I guess I find Dana Milbank to be the most despicable. And that’s no mean feat!

Yes, I find this article an interesting psychological study. A man named Dana spends two thousand words or so railing about an imaginary slight by Palin, who he thinks is making fun of people’s first names. He seems to be lashing out at everyone from childhood on who’s made fun of his first name. He should watch some old Dana Andrews and Stuart Smalley movies and spend some quality life-affirming time healing his self-esteem. Sarah and me just want you to feel good about yourself Dana. No hard feelings.
To: pissant
I so look forward to the day when hacks like Mr. Milbank find themselves standing unshaven and dressed in rags standing in the soup line, because nobody pays attention to them anymore.
What exactly is the point he’s trying to make in this?

Amazing how everything fits exactly into the pretend narrative that Obama has won already. It is like all the articles were written 2 months ago and scheduled to drop en mass on selected dates, regardless of the actual circumstances.

Where would the McCain campaign be right now w/o Palin?
About 15 to 20 points behind in the polls.

Not only that, but if McCain hadn’t bumbled the bailout issue, he would be expected to win because of Sarah. When he wins, he’ll owe it to her. She is the one dragging him over the finish line.

Was Baghdad Bob continuing to do live broadcasts, or did he prerecord them? The latter might have saved him some grief.

It was rougue first, until they realized people like rogues like Sarah. So they had to invent the Diva angle. Bet me money that it was a focus group tested word.

Wow ,looking at a photo of Milbank it's clear why he can easily point out a Diva. It's good to see the post has already called the election for O , i must have missed the vote count. You gotta love the word Diva , if it's a guy he is forceful and direct , ahh but a woman is of course a Diva . We know with his ilk what that moniker is code for , don't we Miss Dana.

A few days ago, after reading a Washington Post, I had a sudden urge to force it through a shredder. Tossing it in the trash didn’t seem adequate.
