Sarah Palin, the darling of a pro-life party that cheers Texas executions at presidential debates, has made an insanely lucrative career out of being famous, a Kardashian sister of American politics.
This week she becomes even more famous because of a new book written about her by Joe McGinniss, who became famous for writing a book called "The Selling of the President 1968."
One of the stars of that book was Roger Ailes, who runs Fox News, where Palin has been a pinup girl since the last campaign, even if there was never a chance she was going to run for President, and not just because she would have to take a pay cut.
Are you kidding? Palin constantly builds her brand and her bank account by not running, no matter how many bus tours she makes across America. As Bill Maher likes to point out, when Palin ran for vice president her idea of a "gotcha" question was being asked what she likes to read.

Hardly the first time Lupica has spread slime on Palin. He’s a real POS. Someone I’d love to hear of falling down a concrete stairway and breaking his neck. Ditto for that scumbag McGinniss.

And, just what is Mrs. Palins actual job title? "Mom."
Cheers!

Hardly the first time Lupica has spread slime on Palin. Hes a real POS. Mike Lupica is evidence that the liberal rot in the newspaper business has extended to the Toy Department.
Even the sportswriters have been infected and are no longer reliable sources of information (if sportswriters ever were).

It has nothing to do about agreeing with me!!
You don't want Palin as President yet she is the ONLY one that would restore it.
Our loved one gets up every day, goes to work and puts their life on the line for YOU.
And my family gets up and does the same for YOU! I don't want them protecting a country that is going over the cliff! I want them to protect America not Amerika!
To: al baby
One must always remember that the FATHER(Robert) of the Kardashian clan was on OJ Simpson’s “Dream Team” as a back bencher!
The author needs his head examined!!!

It’s quite common here for people to just love Sarah, but not want her to be president. They’re usually very ‘concerned’ about something or other.

So thinking Bachmann, or Perry, or Cain would make a better President now means that you hate America? Seriously? They cannot restore the Presidency (whatever that means)?

I can't stand Mike Lupica, but I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for him dating back to his days with one of the NYC tabloid papers when he began mixing a bit of witty social/political commentary in his sports columns. One classic quote I remember from a column from the late 1980s went something like this:
"If Al Sharpton became a boxing promoter and Don King became a rabble-rousing racial agitator, would the world really change at all?"

Does Lupica even like ladies? Most sports writers are a little light in the loafers these days.Kind of like weathermen.

Regardless of Governor Palin’s decision she is going to be releasing a series of detailed policy position papers. I hope to heck Little Mikey has someone around to explain them to him because he is going to need it.

I just save words and time, and refer to them as the FagMedia.
Or the QueerMedia, for the more “nuanced” and “sophisticated” among us.

You said it - what does it mean?
To: lowbridge
I lost faith in Sarah over a year ago when she decided to “Go Hollywood”. But in the last few months she redeemed herself as a great patriot, exposing the establishment RINOs and attacking the usurper. She should have stuck to politics instead of television.

Umm, Foxnews Commentator?
Liberal Agitator?
To: lowbridge
Mike Lupica - makes money by expressing his opinions. Evidently, Mike Lupica doesn’t feel that Sarah Palin is entitled to do the same thing. Are you a bit jealous, Mike?
