Bloodworth-Thomason is a longtime Friend of Billary... must be a closet PUMA.
But I’ll admit it. I love watching those Designing Women reruns!
If Obama wins KO loses. He is only effective(in liberal eyes) on the attack. If liberals were in power they would have no reason to get their “fix” watching him bellyache about all things Republican. He would simply fade away.
“Sarah Palin Is Very Smart” [Greg Pollowitz]
Via Hugh Hewitt, so says former Ms. Magazine editor-in-chief Elaine Lafferty. We’ll see, however, if Lafferty’s Daily Beast posting gets as much media attention as that other Daily Beast posting. An excerpt:
It’s difficult not to froth when one reads, as I did again and again this week, doubts about Sarah Palin’s “intelligence,” coming especially from women such as PBS’s Bonnie Erbe, who, as near as I recall, has not herself heretofore been burdened with the Susan Sontag of Journalism moniker. As Fred Barnes — God help me, I’m agreeing with Fred Barnes — suggests in The Weekly Standard, these high toned and authoritative dismissals come from people who have never met or spoken with Sarah Palin. Those who know her, love her or hate her, offer no such criticism. They know what I know, and I learned it from spending just a little time traveling on the cramped campaign plane this week: Sarah Palin is very smart.
I’m a Democrat, but I’ve worked as a consultant with the McCain campaign since shortly after Palin’s nomination. Last week, there was the thought that as a former editor-in-chief of Ms. magazine as well as a feminist activist in my pre-journalism days, I might be helpful in contributing to a speech that Palin had long wanted to give on women’s rights.
Now by “smart,” I don’t refer to a person who is wily or calculating or nimble in the way of certain talented athletes who we admire but suspect don’t really have serious brains in their skulls. I mean, instead, a mind that is thoughtful, curious, with a discernable pattern of associative thinking and insight. Palin asks questions, and probes linkages and logic that bring to mind a quirky law professor I once had. Palin is more than a “quick study”; I’d heard rumors around the campaign of her photographic memory and, frankly, I watched it in action. She sees. She processes. She questions, and only then, she acts. What is often called her “confidence” is actually a rarity in national politics: I saw a woman who knows exactly who she is.

Yep! Close friends of the Clintons! No way would this woman have defended Palin otherwise. I recall when the Clinton’s, or Bill anyway, visited those people at their beachfront home just south of Santa Barbara! Isn’t this fascinating!!!
She might be a closet Puma but her brother is not particulary a big O fan. Her Uncle Howard’s son is a judge and a republican, although I never figured him to be a strong republican. But they are some of the most honest,down to earth people I’ve ever met. Maybe Hollyweird hasn’t completely corrupted her.
They dominate the internet? Huh?
Yep! Pretty big deal for her to defend Palin.
“...must be a closet PUMA.”
That was my first thought, too - lol. She’s always been pretty liberal so you know it must be bad if she’s speaking out against it.
