Sarah Palin was at the ready, all coiffed and skeptical, after President Obama addressed the nation about the oil spill catastrophe Tuesday night. And guess what? She’s not buyin’ what he’s sellin’. Here she is to tell Bill O’Reilly where she thinks Obama went wrong with his message.  —KA

hello. terrible mistake to tone down her sex appeal makeup towards unisex. i was having flashbacks of John Denver (RIP) while watching her. i was also distracted, thinking i was looking at Russia over her shoulder. as a celebrity she needs better handlers. as a politician: if she is foolish enough to spend her money on a campaign- whom cares? her unique position historically in Alaska leaves me doubting her comprehension of the lower 48. she has to milk her audience while the popularity is profitable. some day she will be doing commercials- she could replace Billy Mays (RIP). i did not hear what she said- browser malfunction. was there a good word regarding safe, abundant, clean hydrogen energy?

Even that old fool, Bill O’Reilly, looked at her like she is an idiot. Her responses to even his softball questions were incoherent.

BigB-I meant no offense to most blondes with the stereo typical joke refering to Sarah Peabrain-which is stated in my comment. And I like men with blonde hair-never heard any comments about blonde male jokes though.I have a blonde haired cousin who does fit this category however and we all have fun and don’t take it seriously. And when someone does or says something stupid, we come up with a remark “what do you think we are, blondes? Which in this case is true. I did not lump “all blondes in the same category as I stated, you however,stated “us blondes” which by saying it that way, includes yourself.

BTW I always tip my waitstaff, even those whose service is poor. For all those who wait tables who complain that women are poor tippers, it may be because of the service they were given. Big B, I don’t know the type of service you provide and I am not including you in this group who provide various levels of service to their clientele thinking that only men tip and tip well, so therefore, they get better service. Also, most men I have seen never do tip, regardless of service quality, so to all those who wait tables out there ask yourself do I do this to my female customers?

I heard about the part of her diatribe where she was saying to get people from Holland to take care of the oil spill, as they know all about leaks in their dikes and they have the knowledge to stop spill so they would be the best choice to stop BP’s mess in the Gulf. The rational-or lack thereof astounds me. The little Dutch boy putting his finger in the leak in the dike comes to mind and that is her answer to the oil spill, aside from that if this happened with drilling in ANWAR, it would be okay as the leaking oil would be under the ground. Like that is not going to damage the environment from the ground up. If Sarah thinks that the Dutch are the worlds experts at stopping leaks, I wonder how fast we could stop the leak if we stuffed her into the blowout hole to cap it off?

This woman is an idiot and we had better hope she never gets into the W.H. as this country would really be f-cked then.

As for the boob job, I heard it was actually a joke: “Did you hear that Sarah Palin has new boobs?” answer: “No, they’re still the same group that was following her before.” Not that she had breast augmentation, which maybe she did, but who cares, a brain transplant would have been more helpful. Don’t understand why she isn’t a blond though, no offense to blonds out there.

It reflects the intelligence level of a country people to even discuss this low life
and her utterances. Really, get a grip.

“The Dutch are known for their dykes…”  There she goes again on a tirade against gays and lesbians.

ofersince72,

It really was a shock to me as I have no respect for either of
them and I really hate to admit to what i did. So for the record,
Fux nuz is totally disgusting and basically the set standard for
treasonous people trying to create ‘their’ idea of a ‘great
country’. Palin, she’s plain wacko. o, I doubt as always as I knew
he would sell out this country to corporate ameica and the aipac
in the 2008 campaign, I still stand by that as his actions still
speak louder than his sweet tongue rhetoric.

Why in the world does anyone lend credence to this cliche riddled, ideological nit-wit? If the reports of her alleged boob-job are true, one wonders why she didn’t spend her money on a brain(or at least some education). Its appaling how closely we came to her being “one heartbeat away”! Granted, McCain had to pick someone dumber than him, but Palin? Cmon!And BillO saying that he interviewed her because of all govs. she has the most experience dealing with oil interests? You don’t get propelled to the VP nomination by strong-arming the oil barons. How much of the store was she going to give them if she got the brass ring? The more I see and hear from the right-wingers, cancervatives, Baggers, reactionaries, neo-confederates, republicans, libertinearians, etc. the more I despair for this country’s future. Everyday one sees the deliterious effects of the generation-plus attack on public education, continued reverence for all things military,transformation of christianity into a sociological, economic, and political cudgel, and belief in a system where greed is good and rules are only for suckers or those too poor to buy an out. Look at the people running this country. The vast majority are so transparently corrupt, shallow, self-serving, and ignorant that on any given day they can be relied upon to spew the most outrageous lies and contradictions even when the facts are kicking them in the teeth! Even more tragic is given the ability to “throw the bums out” who are the replacements going to be? Unfortunately, many in this nation are so caught up in their own bigotry, ignorance, and self-possessed arrogance that they think that twits like Rand Paul and other bagger favorites are going to “get their country back”. Do they even know what that means or is going from very bad to much worse thought of as a positive move?

I had an easier time reading the transcript of o’s diatribe of last
night. Crap, palin is truly unbelievable and sounds just like a
little beauty pageant contestant spewing her hopes desires and
dreams. I guess the loss with mccain still grates across her
nerves when she keeps calling o the ceo.

Another surreal experience, I thought bill o’r was just as
disgusted as I was with this little tramp’s on going attacks of o
when she would quickly, and I mean quickly, punch some sort of
answer to bo’r questions but then she would swing just as
quickly back into trashing o. She in the end made me think, for a
moment, that o is doing quite well.

Being 7 minutes long I would say just watch and listen to the
first minute or two and stop.
