To understand what is going on in America, you have to understand that we love to look at pictures in magazines of celebrities doing or saying stupid things and to laugh at them. 

Some people make the mistake of taking it for more than it is.

Can’t wait for the movie to come out.

Dear Sir Stuarth, about education,

Bush   ?

Obama   ?

Most predecessors had some degré, but where not real well educated, but very rich !

Salutation

Johannes:

What is going on here is a wallowing in TV-generated mass neurosis.  The
“news” value here is kind of like standing outside watching the neighbors
having a top of the lungs argument about who got the teenage daughter
pregnant.  It is oddly fascinating and we Americans tend to fill our grocery
store tabloids with stuff like this because we love gossiping about the foibles of
famous celebrity fools. 

Sarah Palin is hardly a leader.  She is an undereducated, over exposed person who
doesn’t have a substantive intellectual capacity.  She has been made a public joke
and is happy to cash in on the attention.  That there are people who follow her
evey move is a testament to a certain level of empty headed fame following in
American culture.  Quite frankly, to the extent she has a political identity, it is
as a stand in for stupid people everywhere.

Her best bet is to cash in on her accidental fame and go on the tent revival
circuit as an evangelist.  She could become very rich that way. 

I think with stories like this, Truthdig should not waste data space with
anything more than a link to the Vanity Fair source.  We don’t need an
alternative media “truthdigger” effort to cover what is practically wallpapering
the country with lowest common denominator sleaze.

Do the American citizen don’t know that direct from the beginning, the Zio media started to kill her of.

That now if you have no use for the real rulers you never can be president of the USA.

Do you know that the media is feeding the people with selected news, like a baby is feed with food.

Do you know that most of the peoples oppinion is beside the truth, becouse they don’t geth the real information.

American cultural conservatives have a world view that is deeply incoherent. They
glorify pure capitalism as the beginning and end of all good, but they supposedly
also worship at the shrine of morality. Well, what is capitalism in practice but
grabbing any loot that comes your way while the grabbing’s good, and what could
be less compatible with morality? Her supporters will deny up and down that she
quit her job for such unprincipled reasons, even though doing this would be
completely consistent with the unbridled financial greed which they venerate as
the highest human virtue. Besides, it’s not even a millionth as evil as what health
insurance companies do a million times a day, and the conservatives have no
problem with that.

What is it with VF and SP? There was a 4 or 5 page article about her in the previous issue. Is this going to be an “ongoing investigation”? Please, enough already. She’s a whack-job. Everybody that knows how to tie their shoelaces, knows it.

Just as George W. Bush was a fraud, something many of us knew even before 2000, Palin is and was a fraud. She is probably even more ignorant than George W and perhaps more naive, more ruthless and more greedy. Why is it that we must listen to a mealy-mouthed kid for information that was obvious from day two.

Ho Ho the Kennedy’s and the Marelyn Monroe affaire, and others.

How can the American people leth a woman with real guts, without an trial put down, its a woman from the people of your country, not an noble rich Iries pimp.

Man, what a bunch of yahoos this family is. 

Interesting that Jackie Kennedy is on the cover.  Obviously, all families have some
dysfunction and hidden problems behind a public face.  At least the Kennedy’s
valued education and intelligence, wit and excellence in pursuit of world class
goals. 

This is witless pursuit of no class.  Can’t wait for the long distant future when
someone goes after the “I wonder what ever happened to the Palins?” story
because they have come to be long lost to obscurity they so richly deserve.
