The Palin Girls Don't Share (Poor Meghan had to fight for makeup!)
The Daily Beast ^ | September 17, 2010 | Meghan McCain

Posted on 09/17/2010 12:24:50 PM PDT by rightwingintelligentsia

No matter who you are, or where you come from, you had to think that Sarah Palin’s lipstick on a pit bull speech was incredible. There was so much tension building beforehand—everybody wondering whether she would choke, how she would look, whether she could pull it off. I don’t think anybody on the campaign was relaxed about it. And it seemed to make matters more stressful that very few people had met her, or even seen her. Almost as soon as she was announced, she had gone underground to prepare her remarks.

And when she delivered her speech with such confidence, so naturally, as if she had given millions of convention speeches already, even ad-libbing some jokes, the sense of excitement in the hall was palpable.

In the family box in front of the TV cameras, the Palins were assembled, looking inhumanly gorgeous and well-groomed. The media frenzy around them was astonishing—they were rock stars, from Bristol and Levi down to little Trig.

I wish I could have been a better sport about the fact that Sarah and her family now seemed to dominate the entire convention. Everyone was so excited by the Palins’ newness and real-life dramas, their exotic Alaskan lifestyle and their cohesiveness. The campaign’s focus, as well as the world’s, was suddenly completely on them. But it was starting to seem like reality TV to me. I kept wondering, why are these people taking over our lives?

She doesn’t even try to hide her envy.

Poor girl. Why can’t she act like her adopted sister from Bangladesh and get on with her life?

Actually I was suprised by how sensible the first half of the extract is. Meghan seems to be turning s l o w l y into a person.

Just our luck to have caught her in the pupal stage.

For those who aren’t interested in reading a page of naval gazing self-indulgence, there is NOTHING about the Palin girls not sharing. The MAKEUP ARTIST brushed Meghan off. HE said that they had to go first because they are going to get more face time on TV. What a lie of a headline.

I wouldn’t share lipstick with Megan, either. (If I wore any, that is.) She admits to haveing more-or-less random sex because she was horny.

God only knows where those lips have been or what you could catch.

Oh wow this is painful. Does Megan not realize what a laughing stock she is making of herself?

Well, that, and her fat head would use all his makeup.

Maybe, but I'll bet they weren't stupid enough to get between Meghan and the buffet table.

You can have all you like if you go snow-shoeing six months a year and crawl through the wilderness to get a shot at dinner.

You know that the make-up artist was afraid to get their hand near Meagan’s mouth. RINOs have a tendency to take a nasty bite at you. Very dangerous animals.

At that level, makeup artists are more diplomatic. She did seem to lose wait for the book, but long bus-trips slogging through primary states tends to lead to doughnut consumption.

I was irrelevant. And in fact, I might have never been relevant to begin with—

By George, she's getting it!
