Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin says that Russian President Vladimir Putin is a man known for wrestling bears while President Barack Obama is known for wearing mom jeans.
“People are looking at Putin as one who wrestles bears and drills for oil,” Palin said to Fox News’s Sean Hannity on Monday night. “They look at our president as one who wears mom jeans and equivocates and bloviates.”

I believe the criticism mostly comes from insecure men and jealous women.
And to all of you "holier than thou" types, I hope you have enjoyed the view of the destruction of our rights and liberties from your moral high ground. /rant
Refreshing Common Sense!
What a nice way to explain - “she called him a p*ssy”.
;}]
Something we have in common. :)
That's not true (by actual survey).
It's a polite way of calling someone a closet queen who doesn't have the fabulous fashion flair of Liberace; one who prefers an inverted codpiece appearance; fem rather than butch.

13 “How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You lock the door to the Kingdom of heaven in people’s faces, but you yourselves don’t go in, nor do you allow in those who are trying to enter! 14
15 “How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You sail the seas and cross whole countries to win one convert; and when you succeed, you make him twice as deserving of going to hell as you yourselves are!
16 “How terrible for you, blind guides! You teach, ‘If someone swears by the Temple, he isn’t bound by his vow; but if he swears by the gold in the Temple, he is bound.’ 17 Blind fools! Which is more important, the gold or the Temple which makes the gold holy? 18 You also teach, ‘If someone swears by the altar, he isn’t bound by his vow; but if he swears by the gift on the altar, he is bound.’ 19 How blind you are! Which is the more important, the gift or the altar which makes the gift holy? 20 So then, when a person swears by the altar, he is swearing by it and by all the gifts on it; 21 and when he swears by the Temple, he is swearing by it and by God, who lives there; 22 and when someone swears by heaven, he is swearing by God’s throne and by him who sits on it.
23 “How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You give to God one tenth even of the seasoning herbs, such as mint, dill, and cumin, but you neglect to obey the really important teachings of the Law, such as justice and mercy and honesty. These you should practice, without neglecting the others. 24 Blind guides! You strain a fly out of your drink, but swallow a camel!
25 “How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You clean the outside of your cup and plate, while the inside is full of what you have gotten by violence and selfishness. 26 Blind Pharisee! Clean what is inside the cup first, and then the outside will be clean too!
27 “How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look fine on the outside but are full of bones and decaying corpses on the inside...etc, etc.

The moment I caught site of that comment I began to wonder if you would be able to sight any references.
I got a chuckle at that ;^)
Thanks, that needed saying.
It was early and I was wondering vaguely, is that the right homonym? It looks wrong
But, yes. There is a recent snap, a close up, of the won with eyes half open
Can’t locate at the moment, but that’s high wasted
I’m sure the slacks ( giggle) are high waisted out of view
Hey, now. Conservative doesn't mean lacking in style. I don't know a single conservative woman who wears mom jeans.
Palin is a woman.
Bam-Bam is a sniveling little brat.
Conservative in style does not mean the same thing. It was a play on words. BO dresses conservatively.
Most conservative women TV pundits do not
Chuckle :)
...the American people got what they voted for...they had to know someone like Putin would make him look like, well, a community organizer...
During her acceptance speech in 2008, Palin asked what is a community organizer; what do they do.
That question has been answered (to our misfortune).
None of that was personal ridicule.
Those words were word of truth spoken by the Son of God, who knows the hearts and minds of all men.
He was speaking truth to their faces and at the same time calling them to repentance for the forgiveness of their sins. He was also warning them of judgement for rejecting the Anointed One, the Jewish Messian, the One sent by the God of Israel.
When Jesus began His ministry in Galilee (Luke 4) He spoke in the synagogue in Nazareth and read from Isaiah 6:1-2a and told them that the Scripture was fulfilled that day in their hearing. From that point on to the cross Jesus was fulfilling His ministry here on earth as described in that passage.
“None of that was personal ridicule.”
That was a lot harsher than saying someone wears mom jeans and is not respected - which is ALSO the truth.
I got a kick out of reading your reply about mom jeans and knew the shit was going to hit the fan. FWIW, I kinda agree with you, I’ve seen it happen. I’ve been married 31 years, have 5 kids, work out daily (I weigh 105), wear my hair long and haven’t succumbed to that awful hairdo you are referring to. I don’t wear mom jeans, either. I wear tight, skinny jeans and boots. My kids are proud of me, their friends call me their dad’s “trophy wife.” Being 52 years old, I’m far from being a trophy but any woman can take care of herself, not only for hubby but for her kids to be proud to point her out and say “that’s my mom!”
