Although I am not 100% in the Palin column (not that I have anything bad to say, I just don't know enough one way or the other), the constant media assault on her is driving me in that direction.
When Newsweek refers to someone as a “problem’ it isn’t in the innocent vein as the nuns in “Sound of Music”; it’s in the tone of a mafia hit such as in the “Sopranos”. Newsweek is evil.
The NEWSWEAK feature will fail. The fact that they label her “bad news for the gop, and everyone else,” is probably not seen as a bad thing in a country where both parties are looked at with disdain. NEWSWEAK chose that particular picture for 2 reason: 1) help their lagging, sagging and dragging circulation, 2) to try and turn Palin into a sex symbol instead of a serious candidate. They are sure to sell several times their usual amount of magazines, just as TIME did when they put Palin on the cover a few months ago, and given the fact that the issue will be out during her book tour, it will drive up sales of her book, and increase turnout at her book signings. Not exactly what they had in mind.
Even Sarah and a team of Clydesdales is not enough to get me to watch Orca.
Indeed. I’m waiting for Rush’s interview. And BOR has a three-part interview.
I have that edition of Runners World —Article on Sarah was very well done as was the one the did back in 2001 on Bush running marathons —they had a recent one on Gen Petraeus and his running —They always cover political runners strictly from a running perspective whatever their politics
Hear, hear!!!
I just cracked a new bottle of Crown Royal on Saturday and even finishing that in one sitting could not cause enough the dulling of my senses (and cut off my barf reflexes) to watch her royal pain in the arse.
I know Sarah's publicist probably made Sarah accept this and from initial reports it went well, but I'll wait for the facts to come out by reading what other Freepers have to say--who have a stronger stomach than I, or have latent, masochistic tendencies. lol
With all this “fact checking” Sara should be thoroughly vetted by the time she declares in 2011.
Too bad the LSM (Bunch of libtard boot lickers) couldn’t have done the same in the last election.
I’m thinking about how we all were supposed to swoon over Obama’s beach picture - but when Sarah poses for a running mag. looking durn good, that is supposed to be a bad thing?
I need to get this book.
no kidding!
The MSM and the RINO’s have had the long knives out in the last several days building up for the release of Palin’s book. She touches a nerve that few other political figures have for some time. The personal nature of the negative coverage exceeds that given to Bush or Cheney. I’ve never seen anything like this reaction.
Three things that I think drive them nuts are her strong stance on life issues, her common sense/conservative principles when it comes to policy, and most importantly, she took on obama and ridiculed him at the RNC last year. Noone had ridiculed him for his community organizer claims on his resume. Noone had officially made fun of his grandiose ego by pointing out the silliness of his “fake grek columns at his acceptance. Noone had dared look beyond his main sttribute as the first black presidential candidate to see the emptiness of his rhetoric, his lack of experience, or the danger in his positions.
She made fun of obama; she alinskied him. I don’t know if she’ll run as a candidate soon, but she has been very effective at drawing out all the politicians and pundits who hate/fear her more than they love their country. That is a very good thing in these dangerous times.
It’s the straight up nancy-boy BIGOT JON MEACHUM that wrote the piece of sh*t in newsweek. I wonder why posters just refer to the magazine name and not identify the BIGOT JON MEACHUM that wrote the column.
It’s actually Newsweak that’s bad for America. Unfortunately, some people still do read that rag. Less all the time though.
I was shocked to see that the Newsweek edition was MAYBE 36 pages. I had not picked up a Newsweek magazine in several years and had no idea that it had shrunk so far. A page for Letters to the Editor, a few feature stories, a couple of opinion columns, and that's it.
While I was shocked at the reduction of the magazine, I was fully aware of the reasons......
He has man boobs and skinny legs and arms.
Even if the Clydesdales are pulling a wagon full of Budweiser? You should at least check to see if it is the fat Orca or the not as fat Orca.
