Sarah the Diva, Looking Past John the Runner-Up
Wash Post ^ | 10/27/08 | Dana Milbank

Posted on 10/27/2008 8:46:35 PM PDT by pissant

Add this to the Republicans' lessons learned in 2008: One man's maverick is another man's diva.

John McCain thought he was being clever picking a fellow maverick to be his running mate. The problem with mavericks, however, is that they don't follow instructions. Pretty soon they go rogue and before you know it you've got a full-fledged diva on your hands.

When Sarah Palin, looking sharp in a black suit that could have come from Neiman Marcus, took the stage at a campaign rally in Leesburg yesterday, it didn't take long for roguish elements to creep into her speech.

She was introduced by a construction company owner, Tito Munoz, whose name is common among Hispanics but not to the governor of Alaska. "I'll tell you, Tito," Palin said, "not since the Jackson Five has the name Tito been used so often."

The Diva then introduced the Dude. "Someone I'd like you to meet, and that is my husband, Alaska's 'first dude,' Todd Palin," she said. When the crowd answered with chants of "Duuuuude! Duuuuude!" she added: "It's about time we had a dude in the White House."

"So let’s see, Gov. Palin is no longer the country bumpkin who’s in over her head but rather the cunning, street smart politician who is wisely plotting her next political move. "

That is a rather obvious contradiction- now that you mentiond it.

Where would the McCain campaign be right now w/o Palin?

About 15 to 20 points behind in the polls.

He is a total Lefty shill. I can't believe how nice Laura Ingraham is to him when he shows up on her show

I think she is civil to idiots like Milbank solely to have an ear inside the belly of the beast.

Not only that, but if McCain hadn’t bumbled the bailout issue, he would be expected to win because of Sarah. When he wins, he’ll owe it to her. She is the one dragging him over the finish line.

Amazing how everything fits exactly into the pretend narrative that Obama has won already. It is like all the articles were written 2 months ago and scheduled to drop en mass on selected dates, regardless of the actual circumstances.

Was Baghdad Bob continuing to do live broadcasts, or did he prerecord them? The latter might have saved him some grief.

Can’t help you and the others on the ‘commando’ stuff, but you’ll find some quite nice pics of Gov. Palin in jeans by following the link on this thread:

It’s like Bush. He was 2 IQ points above an imbecile, until he became Machiavelli and conned the country into two wars and 3 major tax cuts. Not to mention masterminding 9/11.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

It was rougue first, until they realized people like rogues like Sarah. So they had to invent the Diva angle. Bet me money that it was a focus group tested word.
