An Alaskan opines on Palin

From the site Faithful Democrats:

Welcome to the Matanuska Valley GOP Women's Club!

Lots of friends and relatives have been asking me (as an Alaskan) what I think of Sarah Palin, our Governor, and new choice for McCain as a VP candidate.

This pick floored me. Sarah Palin is a nice person. I've met her. I've even talked to her for a few minutes at a principal's conference a couple of years ago. She has lots going for her superficially. She speaks from the heart, like a spitfire mother; she can even be sort of funny sometimes. She is quite beautiful, athletic and has that radiant glow of someone who actually spends time doing things outside. Unlike many politicians, she has lived a "real life" and done things that few living and working in DC could ever do....like dipnettin' fish, shootin' stuff and eating it out on the tundra, and havin' 5 kids.

Personally, I'd never vote for her. She has an extremely simple view of the world. I don't even think she has ever been abroad.

Hold on a minute

Didn't the Resmuglicans attack Obama for saying he would go after terrorists in Pakistan?

So where's the right wing criticism of yesterday's U.S. strike in South Waziristan? Have they called Obama and said, "sorry Barack, we decided that was a good idea you had there"?

McSame Sans Flag

Look who's left the house without his Flag Pin -- why does McCain't hate America? And notice how he's checking out Gov. Palin's rack. I bet Cindy can hear the footsteps.


Has anyone ever seen Palin and Michele Bachmann together at the same time?

What's the deal with Resmuglican women and the Karen Walker look anyway?

Your security services at work

(8:46 am) Why did a caravan of Homeland Security cops (a sedan and two SUVs) need to go racing up Third Avenue, full lights and sirens, at the end of this morning's rush hour?

How did I miss this one?
