Probably the last contest she was actually qualified to particpate in.

Nice bod, buns, and legs.

I dunno kids. Maybe it's just me. But I don't think she's all that hot.

Calculation with no passion.

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Can't wait for Thursday night at 8 p.m. CST!

Wanna bet McCain hit it?

"I don't think she's all that hot."

One thing's for sure, Rick: She's no match in the brains department for jazzy, zelda, Ci.Ci, kizzy, Doigotta, Norma, tina, OdaMae, mag, Nanc, Kat, Any*Mouse, JD, and the other women on this here blog.

Ok, we get it. The Obama campaign should be ahead by 40%. Let's talk about why they aren't.

What? The woman is beautiful, and she has a great body. Not a lot of brains, though. I think she is sandbagging a bit is going to come out firing like a .50 cal machine gun at the debate.

Me too, Norma, but if she doesn't have, at least, one big fk up I'll throw myself on the

floor and have one big mama of a hissy fit.

Near perfect bod, yes but not what I call beautiful. Liz Taylor was beautiful, Lana Turner,
Ava Gardner, my Mom who was a dead ringer for Susan Hayward....I'm talking faces,
not bods.

Hey! I wanna date with Heather Mallick! She's my kinda gal! Are we sure Norma isn't moonlighting as a journalist in Canada?

I wanked my crank 2 times while watching the video of Sweet Sweet Sarah in her swimsuit. I usually reserve that kind of activity for the wee hours...hey...no wee jokes you all! I love women! But not all women (or men) deserve to be Governor or Vice President, and Sarah is one of them.

But really...she's following the Republican tradition set by old dead Ronnie Reagan. Look good, speak well (well by Alaskan standards, after all she does have all her teeth), follow directions like a well trained cocker spaniel and KNOW NOTHING. It worked for Ronnie for 8 years, why not for Sarah?

Of course the old Nixon men screwed up when they picked George W. Bush as their next puppet. His intelligence level is in the negative numbers, he is no Ronald Reagan.....he's not even Lassie! So this puppet thing hasn't gone so well from 2000 to 2008. But why not do it again with Sarah Palin? Plus she's got boobs and a smokin ass! Look at the poll numbers.....most wingnuts are buying it.

I'm surprised old man McCain didn't pick Monica Goodling....my my...such beautiful hair! But from reading this morning I see that Monica is a crybaby, so McCain went with the woman who can shoot animals from the air without blinking. You can bet Sarah Palin ain't gonna cry. Anyone who can cross the continent with baby goo dripping down her leg isn't going to let anyone see her crying.

If us Democrats would put our money together and buy all the male Republicans in the US a 2009 Ridged Tool Calendar to hang on their walls, they'd lose interest in Sarah. The Wank is all Republicans are interested in....notice how Cheney-Bush have wanked America for 8 years. If we'd time the delivery of the new Ridged Tool Calendars just right the male Republicans would miss election day cause they'd be too busy.......well...you get my point.

I guess I'm old fashioned. The look and the sound isn't what I notice when I'm picking a government leader. I look at their record, their votes and to see if they've got a record of stealing all the cash in the room. I don't care if they're hot or if they've slept with their husband's snow machine selling partner. I'm rabidly interested in sex unless it's connected to a politician....ugh!

Sarah Palin is the new 2008 Republican Christmas ornament.....nothing more. I pity the fools who look at her and see more than a hot babe looking to make the US Government her lifetime Sugar Daddy. Please include me out.

Democrats and the Republicans

Rick Baber,

She was above average of contestants in Miss Arkansas about that time. My frat sponsored the preliminary pageant at our school. You should have seen some of the "hopefuls" we had enter our pageant.

But we quickly found fertile hunting at the post pageant party. Approach a loser at the party and tell her she was robbed, everyone I talked to thought you were best.

Then just let things take their course. Then never call her after that.

I don't know, jazzy. The McCain / Palin team managed to change the "debate" rules so it's not really a debate, Thursday night. It's who can best read a speech off a teleprompter.

Still, Gwen Ifill is moderating.

And the "debate" structure DOES allow for slightly more probing questions AFTER the teleprompter soundbites. Though NOT a direct debate, candidate-to-candidate. Because, you know, Republicans suddenly develop pre-senile incontinence at the thought of Sarah Palin off-script and under questioning.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

So, what I'M hearing is that Gwen Ifill's got this shizz down and plans, in that warm and supportive way only we women innately understand, to ferret out EXACTLY the follow-up questions Sarah is likely to be LEAST prepared to answer.

Then Ifill will wait to see how long it takes Biden to break the rules and, in that way only men innately understand, slice and dice Palin like a frog in formaldehyde in high school biology class before she even realizes she's been laid open and dissected.

GOD! What a sick metaphor.

I can't wait!

Dems should never have agreed to change debate rules.

"Then just let things take their course. Then never call her after that."
That's COLD, Citizen home! You oughta be ashamed of yerself.

Love it!, Better legs than I thought.

I am sure it will take awhile to find those old beach photos of Hillary, but you have until 2012. In the meantime can you find a video of Obama wearing that turban.

In a few years there will even be records of how often you kissed your wife and how much you put in the offering plate.

Now, I'm not saying this WILL happen at Thursday's "debate" between Biden and Palin.

But what if, just IF, early on, a technical glitch took out BOTH teleprompters, and their myriad backup systems, and wireless earpiece hookups too . . . and left both VEEP candidates completely on their own behind their podiums (or "podia," pedants)?

You know. 90 minutes of prime time to fill and suddenly no script. Just the candidates' native intelligence, information and experience in answering Gwen Ifill's questions?

I'm just sayin'.

All I know is, it's being attempted.

Oh, how I wish, Norma. That'd be the end for Miss Sarah.

If only she'd been one of the contestants who wanted world peace . . . .

How do the debates work? Do they get the questions in advance so they can load the teleprompters with the correct material. Do they have a staff typist who types on the fly, trying to craft an answer that can be read?

How much info can be given through the wireless earpieces and who is on the other end? Is that secure or can the other side listen on their opponent's strategy.

I followed the link and watched it with the orginal sound and much more sedate music. Boy you have to wonder about the authenticiy of stuff coming off the internet.

Can you imagine if those videos of Obama in the turban were set to the chant of an Iman or to call to prayer? I mean how can you know.

Here's how it works, mudturtle.

BOTH candidates' scriptwriters -- the best money can buy -- write answers to the 20 most-likely researched questions the moderator will ask.

That more than covers the 90 minutes of air-time for the "debates."

The candidates study and rehearse those scripted answers in intensive sessions. Sarah and her family are, as we speak, doing exactly that right now in the McCain's home in Arizona. Well, one of them.

The answers are refined and finally typed into laptops then transferred to backup desktops in highly secured "control rooms" at the debate site -- which, in fact may be high-tech vans parked outside the venue and cabled in.

Yes, they are as secure as they CAN be.

Highly-paid consultants are in those "secure control rooms" on microphones piped into the candidates' back-pack earphone receivers -- not just scripted answers but ready IMPROMPTU quips and soundbites and attacks based on their superior intellects and experience compared to the candidates'.

Major Problem? Biden doesn't need 'em. Palin's script-dependent.

Think Karl Rove whispering in Bush's ear in the last two election "debates."

Are these connections "secure?"

No, honey, they're not.

Hackers pride themselves on being one step ahead. Just this year, how many banks' customers' and military private information's been hacked and revealed online?

Yes, the complex debate hookup is tougher, but hey: what hacker doesn't love a challenge? Especially now that they know what's been going on for the past two elections?

The Great Fear in Thursday night's "debate" is NOT that hackers will somehow locate the ISP protocol for the teleprompters and wireless earbuds to the candidates . . . and disable them with concerted DOS attacks or, worse, the Blue Screen of Death. From within the "secure control room."

No.

The Great Fear is that in a suddenly teleprompter-free wireless-free one-on-one, Joe Biden will mop the floor with Palin!

Could I BE more excited?

Frankly, no.

And Joe, I know you don't remember me from all those years ago but, it's clear by now America loves a Vice-President with cajones.

Sling 'em around Thursday, Big Guy.

Click on my name or follow the link above for Miss Teen South Carolina's response to a question. Compare and contrast with our potential President Palin. Holy Sh--

Well, I must.

Double-post, that is. It's also a few threads down, but HERE it is now.

Oops!

Joe Biden's assumed Terminator mode for Thurday night's Palin debate, if his leaked rehearsal footage just sent me means anything.

You can see him veer completely off script, narrow his steely unblinking eyes, and saw his Sarah Palin stand-in in half with facts.

More fascinating? Watching Biden afterwards take notes from offscreen advisors to "soften this" and "pound that." Up to and including parsing his facial expressions, glares and gestures.

"Save the, 'Here's the solution Obama and I propose. What do YOU propose, Sarah?' stuff for the second half," says one offscreen advisor.

But the meat of the tape is the discussion over Biden's last, apparently extemporaneous remark.

"Governor Palin, with all due respect, I have not heard ONE specific plank in your and McCain's platform that addresses ANYTHING I and the American voters have asked of you tonight. If you can tell us what you and McCain would do DIFFERENTLY from the Bush Adminstration, which has brought America to the brink in so many ways over the last eight years: Please. Now is your chance. Tell us now how you represent Change from the previous administration."

I can't link to the leaked video because it was emailed as an attachment from, probably, the only person there who could have shot it. I don't want to get him in trouble and I won't violate his trust by blogging it.

But, Holy Shit!

If Biden delivers HALF of what he does in this leaked video, Thursday's Biden / Palin debate's going to look like "Bambi Meets Godzilla."

Which, of course, I have for you at clicky.

Okay. Let's try THIS for clicky.

She may be an ass, but she doesn't have one.
