It’s a classic movie plot. Think “Woman of the Year,” with Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn. At first the man and the woman hate each other, then they fall into each other’s arms? Well, feature the fight that has erupted between the president of the AFL-CIO, Richard Trumka, and Governor Palin of Alaska.
The leader of Big Labor went to Anchorage to give a speech and attacked Mrs. Palin, accusing her of doing everything from writing notes on her hands to coming out with conspiracy theories about President Obama and his “death panels” to getting close to calling for violence. “Sometimes — about Sarah Palin — you’ve just got to laugh,” Mr. Trumka said. “ . . . But it’s not really funny.”
Mrs. Palin turned around and gave as good as she got, or better, in one of her patented Facebook postings, a demarche headlined “Union Brothers and Sisters, Join Our Commonsense Cause!” She wrote as a one-time card-carrying sister of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and United Steelworkers, cards she held by virtue of her husband’s membership in the two unions.
She asserted that it was “kind of ironic that a union boss has the gall to accuse anyone of threatening violence,” particularly in light of what she called the “violent attempts” by the Service Employees “to intimidate those who wanted to make their voices heard in last year’s town halls.”
She argued the real jobs problem was being caused by the policies of President Obama. Suddenly the Internet came alive like the silver screen, so much so that a columnist of the Washington Post, E.J. Dionne, issued a long complaint.
Seems that Mr. Trumka can’t get anyone to listen to, let alone write about, his usual speeches about what Mr. Dionne characterizes as “social CONTINUE

Yes, the title of the editorial was “da bomb” or is that Chicago” talk?
LOL.
I am very happy for Sarah. She deserves some great praise in the print press!
Sarah enjoys a huge level of honest, enthusiastic support from conservatives and patriots wherever they gather - FR included.
It shouldn't come as a shock when you see people objecting to criticisms of her on conservative forums. It's only natural. She has proven to be someone who embodies most everything conservatives want in a leader.
The fact that not everyone sees her as an ideal conservative leader is also natural. I have no problems or grievances with those who are less enthusiastic about her than I am.
My only grievance is with those who never seem to put forth any reasoned complaints about her political acumen or experience, but obsessively attack her out of all reason.
see post 286....Bachmann masks don’t cut what follows certain posters.
The MSM is certainly covering her to the nth degree, with ill intent in 80% of the cases. However, she is on Fox constantly, many of the right talking heads love her and promote her (Rush, Hannity, etc), and the AmSpec, Human Events, Townhall - the conservative electronic media - by and large cover her far more than the others.
Last time out Rush/Levin/FR were pushing Fred (then Mitt), Medved was pushing McCain, Hannity was pushing Rudy, Hewitt was pushing Mitt, the evangelicals were pushing Huck, etc etc.
That’s what I get for watching my Chargers!
I just replied to that one.
ZOT - Good enough!
Truly.
Your opinion means less than nothing to me.

That’s an excellent list. I’d say that Sarah fits right in there.
I hear you.
I just can’t see what she doesn’t add to the conservative cause. She pokes libs in the eye and seems happy to do it - I like that, very much.
La la la, connect the ZOTs
Hear! Hear!
Very true. In fact pissant boasts about promoting Bachmann on the one hand, yet makes disparaging comments about women generally but aimed at Palin specifically on other threads.
Sheer nastiness, and an gratuitous, flip-flopping & truth-be-damned spitefulness.
Come on! What about Patton? He'd need to be there too for Palin to fit in.
Not all of us can be sensitive feminists, I reckon.
Where has that one been hiding since 2001?
JFK
JFK was a Senator, not a Congressman, and by that criteria, BHO was the last Senator, not JFK. Honest Abe was the last member of the House (aka “Congressman”) that was elected to that office.
Enjoy your zot...
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Viking Kitty/ZOT ping list!. . . don't be shy.
