— Ace On O'Reily.
Quinn wrote a fairly demeaning tear on Palin before her speech. And of course she then had to ask about Palin's "priorities" as a mother, and if it's right to seek high office while caring for children.
After her speech, she's taking it back, at least regarding her sneering that this woman couldn't possibly be qualified. (She says she'd say the same thing about a Democrat... um, all right.)
She's still pushing the bad mother angle -- she wants to know if Palin will put her country first or her children first.
Will Barack Obama put the nation first or his daughters first, I wonder.
To be honest, to me it sounds like she's just doing CYA.
Which is interesting in its own right. She's now claiming she's down with Palin even though she's not? What does that say, I wonder.

A - that the McCain people didn't do their jobs in not releasing her name earlier so the press could vet her (almost exact quote)
and so therefore
B- We are now learning that this woman who has 5 children, 1 special needs and let's face it, about to have a 6th child when Bristol gives birth and so it was irresponsible of McCain to pick this distracted mother because
C- woman and men have different roles, different requirements and she can't possibly be able to handle it and be a good mom and good vice president.

Sally Quinn was the first.

"She is the mother of five children, one of them a four-month-old with Down Syndrome. Her first priority has to be her children. When the phone rings at three in the morning and one of her children is really sick what choice will she make? I'm the mother of only one child, a special needs child who is grown now. I know how much of my time and energy I devoted to his care. He always had to be my first priority."

Obviously he puts his daughters first. After pouring $150 million into Chicago public schools with Ayers via Annenberg, with no discernible effect, he is sending his daughters to private schools.
But the question isn't where he's sending his daughters, the question is what we're going to do to better the public schools, because, after all, not everyone's a senator.

I just watched this. She went on both CNN and O'Reilly before Palin's speech with some tired old crap about how she has a special needs child herself and had to take a leave of absence, you just can't have it all, blah blah blah, who's going to watch the children, this is a cynical pick.
Then tonight on O'Reilly she was saying that she "just hadn't known anything about her" and that's why she said those things. Well guess what Sally, you're the media, it's your job to learn about people before writing national columns and going on national TV to disparage people.
Why is it that within five minutes of the announcement, I knew more about Sarah Palin than Sally Quinn did two days after the announcement?

What do they call that, a false choice, or something? Why does it have to be one or the other, why is impossible for a woman to be a great vice president and a great mother?
Besides, doesn't this exact criticism undermine the arguments that a single mother can have a career and homosexual couples make fabulous parents? We are told again and again that traditional families and the need for children to have a mom and dad is old-fashioned, sexist, homophobic, and bigoted.

My mom is a flight attendant, worked a flight from Minneapolis-Saint Paul
CNN news guy (she said) was telling her that Cindy McCain's outfit, shoes and jewelry costed $300 and did you know that Cindy's dad all but abandoned Cindy's step sisters from a previous marriage and did you know that they didn't even MENTION the step sisters in her bio video and did you know....I said McCain's not married to her step sisters.

Palin scares the shit out of Sally and her ilk. Smart, pretty, conservative, a good shot, and not afraid nor impressed with Sally and her circle. The fact that she is a devoted mom and wife just seals the deal. She doesn't have to kiss anyone's ass - and people are drawn to her.
Somewhere dep in these snotty women's subconscious they know that they could never be this genuine, liberated, or loved. It's got to be hell.

Back when I lived in Anchorage (that was B.B.), I was sitting in my living room one day when I felt a shadow fall over me. I looked up and there was a frickin moose standing outside the window looking at me.
Scared the hell outa me. And fucked my yard in a very serious way.

She walked it back about half an inch.
She also said she seriously believes women should rule the world. That to me is extreme. How about 50/50 if you must.
BTW when they are ruling the world will they care more for their children or the world? She doesn't say.

Whoever it was that made the comment about Rudy "strapping the carcass to his chariot and dragging it around the arena" damn near gave me a laughter aneurysm. But that was just one of hundreds of hilarious comments that have cracked me up this week.
Keep up the good work.

She's the "faith" writer, yet is so clueless about Evangelicals that she thought they'd recoil in horror over Sarah Palin's daughter being pregnant?
Guess what, stupid: most of those Evangelicals weren't virgins when they married, either. They might not be proud of it, but they're not the 18th century Puritans you seem to think they are.

There is some small value to Sally Quinn's writings.
Recall Michelle Obama's basic operating premise "How does it help my children?"
If Obama wins the election, Michelle gets to stay out of all things Presidential: no policy advice, no attending meetings, nothing.
Vote for McCain, get everyone you know to vote for McCain. and hope that we don't have to fall back on Sally Quinn's writings.

Okay, Okay, went to Vanity Fair--the night of the gold dress--300,000 dollars (or more, with 2/3 going to diamond earrings), so not the same dress as last night.
HOWEVER: My pearl spotting skills have not atrophied. The same strand she wore last night, they estimate 25,000. I say that's low.
I do so love pearls.

The recourse to the MSM is to blog and read blogs and contribute to blogs (especially those that go into warzones). Keep their ass in check.
there is no doubt that blogs helped get the story out that a lot of the charges against Palin were BS. The high level of ridiculousness the media exhibited lately is a big part of the reason so many watched her and love her. It's backfiring against the dems.
That we are a nation with plenty of jackasses is sadly something we have to pay attention to. Speaking out against it and making sure others to is the right response.

I doesn't matter - times are bad, republicans should know better than to flaunt their spoils. Democrats have good hearts, we should publicly finance 75,987 square feet homes and lear jets for them. Is the argument I guess.

My mom was appalled at Cindy - My mom also hijacked my bank account routinely when I was a teenager to pay her Saks Fifth Avenue bill so my dad wouldn't see it.

Based on his medical history, it's actually more likely that Biden will die in office.
Then Obama can appoint Keith Ellison as V.P.

McCain dying in office? He should have died in Vietnam, hell, the Presidency may actually reverse his aging with all the shit he has gone through.
And Trig will probably enjoy all that free medical care at Bethesda and Walter Reed if he gets the sniffles. Plus those 200 Secret Service agents ought to be able to pitch in a change a diaper or two if needed. Although I could very easily see Sarah changing a diaper and telling Harry Reid at the same time "you want some of this shit coming your way Harry?"

I overheard something at my Hippie workplace. I don't talk politics at work, but my ears work fine.
This very liberal young lady was claiming that she didn't think a woman should be a heartbeat away from the Presidency.
My very first thought was "they're eating each other!"
Just think of the mental contortions that a female Democrat has to go through to announce that a woman shouldn't be allowed to be VP. I'm sure she'll be popping Vicodins all weekend.

If soap operas have higher ratings than "Firing Line," there's probably a reason why. But I don't know for sure that they are. I do know that 7/8 of all the stupid shit I hear at work about Sarahcuda Palin are soap-opera bullshit, with about 1/8 having dick to do with policies or tactics or history or anything else about her.

On Oreilly, this paragon of enlightenment said "women CANT do everything" and "I still am concerned that if she is putting country first that she cant be putting that downs syndrome baby first"
Then lied that if Palin was a Dem she'd be saying the same thing.

A dress, shoes, and jewelry for only $300 bucks? That's a steal. A man's suit, shirt, tie, shoes, and watch would cost way more than $300 bucks. What an idiot.
Cindy has had little to no contact with her half sisters through out her life. Her father provided for his daughter from a previous marriage and her children during his life time, giving them money, an education, and a home. His step daughter, Dixie, had her own father to provide for her. She also has a son around Cindy's age. Her husband was employed by her step-father.

Don't know. Didn't watch it. However, I heard Larry Elder and some callers on the radio ripping both Obama and O'Reilly to shreds over it. One of the questions and responses were, would Obama listen to Petraeus. Obama responded, yes, but then I would give him new orders, which implies he wouldn't listen to him at all.

I recall Ms Quinn's(Didn't she mary an influential much older man from a now defunct newspaper) report of her time as a failed tv hostess(cupcake).she claimes no one ever told her the light meant the camera was on.I think that speaks loads about her intellect.No one probably told her to flush the toilet either.
And because a politician has a child with a serious health problem doesn't mean they can't have a career and care for the child.Se ted Kennedy had a child with osteosarcome and was able to both do his Senate duties and chase pussy full time.What a guy.
