I can't even imagine Michelle saying anything so completely ignorant...but I did see a post where someone asked what if Michelle had taken a photo holding a AK-47 like Politician Barbie did...and I thought, well that's exactly what the New Yorker cover portrayed and it was supposed to be "satire"....the quadruple standard just amazes me.

The quadruple standard times ten! Barack and Michelle Obama, along with Joe Biden, are the only ones who have been vetted in this process. And as you noted earlier, Obamas vetters were vetted!
No one has vetted Cindy McCain's charity/pill scandal thoroughly - it is just ignored. Yet, there are still nutjobs going on and on about Michelle Obama's college thesis (conveniently ignoring her racist freshman roommate) and her salary as an executive.
We're supposed to accept Sarah Palin with her "foreign policy cred" because "Alaska is close to Russia" and that a 1984 beauty queen who was a local sportscaster in 1988 with a journalism degree, mayor of a town of 9,000 in 1996 that she left in shambles (fiscally) and governor of a state with a population smaller than Chicago for the last 20 months ...
She "trumps" Barack Obama, who had a Columbia political science degree in 1984 as a community organizer; the first Black president of Harvard Law Review; the man who turned down a Supreme Court clerkship and orchestrated one of the biggest black voter turnouts ever in Chicago that elected Carol Moseley Braun and Bill Clinton (see http://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/Janu... Senate Foreign Relations Committee member who traveled to Russia in that capacity with Republican Senator Richard Lugar (http://www.barackobama.com/2005/11/01/nonprolif...) and co-sponsored the Lugar-Obama bill (http://obama.senate.gov/press/061211-lugar-obam...) and
Oh let me stop. The campaign ads will write themselves.
Say it aint so. i cant bring myself to listen to it. BWAAHHAAAAAAA
You have got to be joking.
From the dailykos:
Here is Palin's response to a candidate questionnaire for the Alaska 2006 gubernatorial race:
Are you offended by the phrase “Under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance? Why or why not?
SP: Not on your life. If it was good enough for the founding fathers, its good enough for me and I’ll fight in defense of our Pledge of Allegiance.
ummmmmm.......The Pledge of Allegiance was written in 1892 by Francis Bellamy, a Baptist minister, a Christian Socialist, and the cousin of Socialist Utopian novelist Edward Bellamy (1850-1898).
This scares me.....really, really scares me.

Senator Obama's campaign proves that he knows how to "run things". He ran a groundbreaking, organized, fiscally-responsible national campaign that encompassed more people and voters than Sarah Palin has ever managed in her 20 months as governor. She has been governor for as long as Obama has been running for president.
Obama serves on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee where Sen. Biden is Chairman along with Dick Lugar, Chuck Hagel, Chris Dodd, etc. With Lugar, he co-sponsored The Lugar-Obama legislation, S.1949 (http://obama.senate.gov/speech/060209-opening_s... )
Obama not only knows the difference between Sunnis and Shiites unlike McCain (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EetobKXQsr8), he knows that Czechoslovakia no longer exists(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tE33mU7TjxE ) and neither does an Iraq/Pakistan border (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/07/21/mccain...).
Even George Bush slammed McCain on his Czechoslovakia gaffe in the 2000 Presidential debates! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/07/14/mccain...
In fact, George Bush himself dinged McCain for this blunder back in the 2000 primary. Steve Clemons writes:
Second, before Republicans condemn Dems for being picky on this, let's not forget that in the 2000 campaign, when McCain also screwed up Czechoslovakia, it was none other than George W. Bush who said it deserved to be a campaign issue: "A guy gets up and quizzes me [on world leaders] ... but John McCain says something about the 'ambassador to Czechoslovakia.' Well, I know there is no Czechoslovakia [there's a Czech Republic and a Slovakia], but yet it didn't make the nightly national news."
Barack Obama also went to Russia, Ukraine and Azerbaijan with Dick Lugar in 2005 as a part of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Has Gov. Palin ever been to Russia? In fact, I would love to know the extent of her traveling experience - business and personal.
If you have the means to travel, but all means GO!
" I dont know about you all but Im proud of my country"
There must be some memo that they are getting that says bs your way through this and hope no one actually thinks about it. What this like national security by osmosis?
Gore Vidal was interviewed by David Bender on Air America and he said the USA for the R. is a trillion dollar business and they will do anything not to lose control. Vidal is afraid they will try to kill Obama.
there are good links.

It's an Alaskan POV...
Yeah I read the mudflats blog the other day, looks like they updated it. There's some good stuff over there. They've been on to her well before she was announced as McCain's running mate.
Have a happy Holiday Y'all!

Executive Experience
by hilzoy
On the McCain Report, Michael Goldfarb writes that Sarah Palin "has more executive experience than Barack Obama and Joe Biden put together", a point that, by some strange coincidence, has popped up all over the conservative blogs. I think that the idea that Palin has an advantage over Obama in this area is completely wrong.
When this campaign started, one of my biggest questions about Barack Obama was whether he would be any good at managing things. The President is, after all, the head of a very large organization, and he had better either have good management skills or hire a chief of staff who does. The fact that I didn't know whether Obama had them didn't prevent me from voting for him -- none of the other candidates I might have supported had a track record in management either -- but I would have been happier had I known whether Obama was any good at running things.
I don't have that problem any more. Obama has spent the past year and a half running a large organization -- as of last December, it had "about 500 employees and a budget of $100 million" -- and running it very well. It's not just that he and his team beat the Clinton campaign, which started out with enormous advantages. It's not even that he often did so by building effective political machines from scratch in states in which Clinton had locked down the political establishment. It's that every account of the Obama campaign that I've read makes it clear that he has done an outstanding job of constructing and running a political organization.
But she also does something else for egocentric McCain. She and her husband are totally green on the National and International Scene. McCain & Co has found a far right Governor of very little experience whom they can mold and guide 24/7.
Do you think for one second the Palin family will be allowed to speak one word that hasn't been scripted.
They are exultant to be picked for this robotic role for McCain.
It is the worst kind of politics...we can only hope and pray that most Americans will see this for what it is.
From The Daily Dish:
Privacy And Palin
31 Aug 2008 08:21 pm
A reader writes:
The argument against any kind of reporting on candidates' personal lives has always been that private life should remain private. Why should I care if some guy has an affair, etc.
Here's why this isn't off-limits. The McCain campaign has made the existence of this child a central part of its PR rollout of Palin, in particular highlighting the fact that Palin chose not to abort the child even though she knew the baby had Down Syndrome.
The campaign has made the entire story of this pregnancy and birth a part of its narrative to portray Palin as a morally superior being who is therefore deserving of the second-highest office in the land.
There is a serious possibility that this narrative is completely false, that, in fact, Palin's daughter became pregnant, and that she decided to take the following steps: first, hide the pregnancy by withdrawing her daughter from school; and second, pretend that the child was hers, in the process lying to everyone around her, including the public and her staff. If she did this, one must then ask, why? Certainly, it was preferable to an abortion. But why couldn't she simply admit that her daughter got pregnant at sixteen? Palin could have served as a wonderful role model of family support for a pregnant teen, and obviously she would have helped to raise the child. Instead, Palin sent a message that her daughter was shameful, and that lying is better than the truth.
Even if one could excuse this behavior as a misguided effort to protect her family, what happened next is beyond the pale. Knowing full well the truth, Palin allowed the false version of this story to be used as part of a PR campaign to dupe voters into viewing her in a completely false light.
What this says about her is that she believes that when you get into a situation where there might be public embarrassment, the best thing to do is lie (apparently, the same thing she did with Troopergate). That, to me, seems relevant to voters making a decision in November.
And the Ho looks like she needs a Botox session - she's starting to look as ancient as McCaint.

Cindy McCain "Offended" By Obama's Wealth Criticism
In her interview with George Step-In-It on :This Week": She said that Obama's remark was "unfair and offensive."
Hence, the heading: ANNNNND!!??? :>) :>)
Otherwise, she can drink the last cold can of STHU.
She was picked for several reasons:
1. satisfies feminine base.
2. satisfies religious base.
3. jingoistic and blindly patriotic, good for PR.
4. willing lapdog for the party and power
5. and finally....Governor of Alaska, an Oil industry target.
The final reason essentially is the job requirement of many in our present administration as well as Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq.
On a side note, George "pompous ass" Will's wife is helping to write Cindy McCain's speech for this weeks RNC convention. I say good luck. She will need ALL the help she can get. There is no way she can top Michelle.
