Big hair and BS as usual



This is why I love BestWeekEver.tv. Please. Do yourself a favor and check out Sarah Palin-then-Heath as she was in her more innocent days as an Alaskan sportscaster. Think less attacks on women’s reproductive rights, more out of control 80s hair. And for the love of bob, do not under any circumstances miss the link to her pageant photos.

A lot of time was frittered away yesterday discussing whether Palin would face the press and when. More to the point, today let’s explore exactly why McSame – who seems to have picked his VP largely for being photogenic – really wishes Sarah would stay away from making any of those newfangled talkies.

But, seriously, let’s give the woman a break, people. I mean it’s really hard to talk out of both sides of your mouth all the time. About earmarks, for example.

Then again, she’s pretty much towing the party line of bullshit. If you haven’t seen it yet, check out the Daily Show’s McSame exposé “Reformed Maverick.”

And if you’re up for it,
Maureen Dowd continues to give voice to the voices in her head – her Saturday column imagines a conversation between Hillary and Palin. Fear the bleak imagery of the Palin-run dystopia.

It’s my weekend and I’m tired. So in closing, if you were wondering why people call him McSame, let Jon Stewart show you why. (The whole 9 minutes is classic, but to get right to the point you can cut in at about the 5:00 mark.)

Until tomorrow, a reminder to PLEASE take action against the administration’s newest attack on our reproductive rights! See Saturday’s blog for all the details and to find out how you can help; remember, the comment period ends on the 25th!
