You know, I’m just not convicned that other Moms will view cutting off fish heads and gutting them on a table as the same as baking cookies. Palin has some issues to deal with. You don’t have to ACT like a man to be taken seriously, Sarah.
Sarah is not “acting like a man”. This is who she is. Personally, I have just a little love for the outdoors and nature. Can not imagine myself climbing a large hill, must less a mountain, unless I am in a car. But I can readily appreciate those with the guts to work with and tame nature for legitimate use by man. These people have as much claim indeed maybe more claim in what has made America.
LOL! Where do you live? I’m a recent transplant from the DC area and women in Wisconsin all know how to gut fish and some the occasional deer.
“You dont have to ACT like a man to be taken seriously, Sarah.”
It doesn’t have anything to do with that. She doesn’t look like she is trying to prove anything to anyone in this show.
She didn’t start hunting and fishing and running marathons once she started to run for president.
All Sarah should do is be Sarah snd let the chips fall where they may.
"Iron Chef" is an international hit TV series, and those professional chefs have done far more gnarly things than merely butchering a few fish for dinner.
I don’t think cutting off fish heads is acting like a man - I respect all Moms - and every one of them is different in their own way.....
How on earth is gutting a fish looking like a man? In Manhattan, maybe, but there are plenty of women who know how to gut a fish.
Are you kidding me with this? Brother! Ya’ll just can’t find enough stupid reasons to criticize Sarah. Can you?
Get with it! That’s who Sarah is and always has been....She always hunts and is a good marksman, she fishes with her husband with their fishing business, if you read her book she always is determine to push her limits physically whether its running or just being active in general....this is what they do up there in Alaska!
Leave the baking cookies to Romney. Leave the fish and moose to Sarah.
I also bake cookies. What have you done lately?
Oh, I get it. She should not do what millions of fishers around the country do. And the percentage of fishers percentage-wise is probably higher in Alaska than any other state means you are asking her to be a fake.
Issues to deal with? What a childish comment. Don't act like a man? What is the exact criteria?
Just sophomoric BS.
I presume you are a city girl.
Heh....you're the one with the "issues". It doesn't matter what she says or does, you'll continue to find fault with her.
Tell me - does all that bitterness ever leak into your mouth and leave a bad taste?
It is an Alaska thing. (similar to a Texas thing) I know lots of nice looking farm women here who can do a lot more than clean fish. I know some I would not be afraid to carry a weapon in battle next to them.
You dont have to ACT like a man to be taken seriously, Sarah.
Sarah P "acting like a man", not my take at all.
Now your real issue. Should she run for President? I am not sure she will want to run when the time comes, it might be a big step down to do that. She is having a huge positive affect on Republican fortunes, in spite of some really crappy attacks by various "staffers" (midgets). If she does, I could vote for her.
I seriously beg to differ.
There are Moms out there in America who take their daughters fishing, and teach them how to clean and cook fish. It's responsibility and appreciation of the outdoors and good stewardship, as well as self-sufficiency and resourcefulness. I see it as an extension, if you will, of baking cookies.
For every Mom who has learned how to fish and has taught her children also, you will hear a cheer when they see Sarah Palin gutting that fish.
We are just sooooo used to seeing men acting like women (Obama, Karl Rove) and metrosexual men, that we forget that in America we have a history of pioneering women who were tougher than bouncers at a motorcycle gang convention.
She's acting like an AMERICAN.
They say the best cooks are masculine....everyone assumes the best hunters are masculine.....people like you assume the best leaders are masculine....people like you assume the best money managers are masculine.
How long has this country been run by men? How far have we fallen under masculine “leadership”?
We are on a precipice where our elderly parents and our children and our children’s children are at risk-—not to mention ourselves.
This woman has more experience than the “Won” who stinks up the people’s house now. And he/she/it seems to enjoy the demise of the country. (It IS his mission.)
Mitt Romney may have the technical genitalia to be viewed as masculine, but his health”care” and soggy spine says otherwise. He’s a mayonnaise sandwich on white bread.
Tim Pawlenty reminds me of that Justin Beeber thing that seems androgynous. Huckabee loves the camera more than the “Won”. (something smells when a “man” loves the limelight, like a fifteen year old girl.)
IF Sarah runs for office, she’s up against the democrats who view her a real threat—their reasoning? Maybe they’re aware she’s experienced and intelligent.
It’s sad to think those on “our” side are neanderthals in their appreciation of leadership capabilities because of their gender biases-—something the dems will use to THEIR advantage in demonizing republicans.
When the democrats vote for Hillery (because she’s sooooo brilliant and has experience), our neanderthals will see to it that WE end up with a girly-man.....just because he has the correct genitalia. (and we’re supposed to have the smarts.)
My Mom (God rest her soul) did it often in our kitchen. My wife has never done it.
