Its 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 others 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 youve just got to laugh, Mr. Trumka said. . . . But its 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 husbands 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 years 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 cant get anyone to listen to, let alone write about, his usual speeches about what Mr. Dionne characterizes as social CONTINUE

Sadly, I believe you.

She certainly did terminate her term as Governor.
You volunteering?
LOL My knees hear you. And ankles, elbows, hips, neck...
There’s already a whole coterie of folks following me around waiting to see me Zotted.
Sadly, they just don’t get it.
Happily, the FR management team DOES get it.
Cackle! Thanks, ES!

And that's not why I'm stalking you anyway.
This is an ongoing list of historical, Biblical, and fictional figures, that Sarah Palin has been compared to on FR:
Not sure if it is Italian...
Given the context and circumstances that Zoteruni © may be used, it is more likely Sicilian.
And it should always be in orange. :-)
Your tears are yellow.
Fitting, in more ways than one.
Hunter is the one crying as you have destroyed his credibility. At least here.
Unless he repudiates you.
ROFLMAO. What a drama queen.
If any of that is true, it's all caused because of you. And pointed at you most likely. You are destroying Hunter's chances in politics just by supporting him.
Denounce Hunter if you want to help him.
Oh, and the cult thingie? LOL, you and your anti-freeper buddy Evening Star and a couple others are the ones here exhibiting classic cult behavior.
No, I most decidely am not amused. But, I will probably laugh anyway. Or, at least cackle.

Advise you to back off Palin and back off about the womens's right to vote. Either back off or I give the green light to the mods to zot your account on the next offense. I'm the last defender you have on FR and you're beginning to piss me off too.

I suppose it could be pointed at me. Though the Soros funded cabal known as CREW usually sticks to evaluating politicos, not private sector engineers.

Cool. I had no idea I was that powerful. Maybe I'll switch it up and join the cult of Sarah. That should knock her out of contention.

Since you never bothered to note my posting history to and from ES, it would be beyond a stretch to call us 'buddies'. Though we might have common cause in opposing the Palin coronation crowd here, trying to do guilt by association amongst freepers would be nothing short of a cluster. But if you want to play that game, I'll be happy to consider you and SE Ohio Young conservative as two peas in a pod.
Them’s ain’t my words.
Well, some posters hang on your every word, and support anti-freepers...therefore “buddies”
Sure, SE Ohio Young conservative and I are peas in a pod if that's what blows your skirt up...but who the heck is that?
Ok then, Jim must by lying about you.
