Jealous much?

[stocksthatgoup]

And Nancy Pelosi???

[barbarianbabs]

I live in CA and I don’t get it either.

“If you believe in commerce and you’re called a chamber, maybe that’s enough to get you on the White House enemy watch list,” Palin complained, adding: “Did you ever think our White House would go to war with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce? The Chamber of Commerce isn’t a threat...Who are they going to go after next? The Boy Scouts? The Girl Scouts?...The way the White House talks, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is an international terrorist.” Palin

If Michelle Obama fell in a forest there would be a memorable thud.

[VisualizeSmallerGovernment]

the First Lady's much maligned (and misunderstood) statement, "For the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country, because it seems hope is making a comeback."

This is the second time in as many days that I've read an opinion piece claiming that Michelle's statement is widely misunderstood. In both instances, the authors fail to explain the 'correct' context of the quote.

Is there an official lefty 'correct' context to this quote, or is the Joe Biden-esque "you'd be too stupid to understand it, you dullest audience I've ever seen" sufficient reproach?

[RegulatorCountry]

“They” have been after the Boy Scouts for close to two decades, and appear to have already coopted the Girl Scouts.

Joan Walsh = PDS on steroids. Happy 11/2, Joan.

The fact that the left always attacks Palin yet never goes after other potential 2012 GOP contenders shows whom they really fear.

[lag along]

It is called the Michelle{ doctrine and only SAM Donaldson knows the correct answer.

I discussed Palin's California tour on MSNBC's Hardball today with Chris Matthews

Good idea. Whenever you want to expose someone as an out-of-touch political hack with an ideological agenda, you should definitely do it on Hardball with Chris Matthews.

Can anyone imagine Obama mocking Laura Bush for something she might have said on the campaign trail two years earlier?

You mean like when Nancy Reagan said 'Just Say No To Drugs' and everyone on the left refrained from poking gentle fun at her?

[kiryandil]

Joan Walsh is a bitter old Stalinist.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Joan Walsh! ROTFL!!!!!!

[VisualizeSmallerGovernment]

The fact that the left always attacks Palin yet never goes after other potential 2012 GOP contenders shows whom they really fear.

The derangement syndrome seems to apply to all conservative women, even down to the beauty queen level. Remember that Miss California contestant who honestly answered a question about gay marriage and was pilloried by the media.

The long knives are also out for Michelle Bachman, Jan Brewer, Meg Whitman, Carly Fiorina, etc.

[libbylu]

There is a post on c4p that says Walsh admitted lying about Sarah.

[liberty75]

"Sure, my crowd is mostly Democrats,"

That's an understatement...

[Lazamataz]

What a load of New York Times.

[kiryandil]

She's [Sarah Palin] having a party, mocking President Obama, Katie Couric, Democrats generally, and most repugnantly, Michelle Obama.

You mean the unindicted Class A Misdemeanor criminal Michelle Obama, don't you, Joan?

In Illinois, for instance, list of Class A misdemeanors includes endangering a child’s welfare, some forms of assault (battery), engaging in prostitution or soliciting a prostitute, possession of firearms, reckless driving and driving under the influence.

So, Moochelle is like a drunk driver, illegal gun carrier, child neglecter, violent assaulter, or a sex-for-munney girl.

I'd say that's pretty repugnant.

It’s always private citizen Sarah they go after - yep, it’s her they fear. The Tea Party and Sarah.
