Woman of the Year (Sarah Palin)

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

The woman wears her patriotism on her sleeve with a smile, and doesn't care who sees it.

Not something you see in Washington right now...

Got it!

I'll be needing it a lot since nobody will "bow out gracefully"

It's hard to believe someone can be that obnoxious for so many hours in a row.

I left for the evening, logged on, and he's STILL posting insane pychobabble drivel.

Unfrickingbelievable.........

I was looking for something and checked the inm forum posts.....yikes! post after post after post of nasty, mean comments.

I finally gave up what I was looking for as I just couldn't stand all the negativity! Whew!

Have I missed anyone? :)

I have had people here tell me that she started the Alaska permanent fund dividend (PFD), sued BP over the Valdez spill, and designed and built a natural gas pipeline from Alaska to the US that is already in service.

Realistically, Dennis Kucinich's UFOs are more plausible than the last one.

The earlier troll graphic warning to post at the beginning of every thread should read: Do not respond to the pissy aunt.

I'd honor that. He's truly a waste of time and he revels in it.

[Old Sarge]

Hubbba....

[CAluvdubya]

I can go along with that. I prefer to, in fact.

[onyx]

GOOD ONE!

[onyx]

You have to follow me around. Seems like they always post to me. I guess because I ping Sarah’s list. Trouble is, I leave the thread to reply to other pings, and when I come back they’re already ZOT. LOL.

[Lakeshark]

Think they'll bed wet first, or go into a posting rage about "cultists" and then do the wetting?

The odds are 50/50 imho.

:-)

[onyx]

What’s that called? Running on_________?

[CAluvdubya]

Go into a rage whilst wetting the bed!

[onyx]

LOL. We don’t care. We’ll just “know.” LOL.

[Lakeshark]

Lol.

You got the correct answer to my trick question....

:-)

[CAluvdubya]

yes we will!!

[onyx]

She’s very smart.

[Lakeshark]

FOTFLOL.

It's gotta be a warm feeling not knowing which is first....

*Bad shark* Oh boy, it's late....
