Soon, Bammy will be exhibiting his "White Oprah/"ghetto"Oprah thang.
He'll drop the Haarvaard accent, greet the "hommies" and yell to his wifey: "You go girl"..waddup? Ya know wha ahm sayin', yo?"
Bammie/McSame/BarbieCaribou/JoeSchmo - BITCHFIGHT!!

Bammy, my man...Jeffrey would be humiliated! (inside jokey)

That looks like a blood-in-the-water video.

Wonder if the media, which for years was friendly to McCain, will run with it or pooh-pooh it.

Obama has had plenty of time to bring up the Keating Five. This business of associating him with terrorists to trying to tie him to questionable land deals or fund-raising are certainly worthwhile point to pursue but one cannot just make up stuff and spew it from a pulpit. Sarah Palin's words/lies are two specific and she is getting herself in too deep.

What's amazing about the Keating Five scandal is how RELEVANT it is given our current financial crisis. John McCain KNOWS this stuff because he was on trial for it.

"Every avenue has been exhausted with the man and his family. His own wife was scrutinized for missing 9/11 memorial because she took her kids to school."

Can you imagine what would have ensued if Michelle Obama had been part of a whackjob secessionist political party, or if it came out that she was copied on official government correspondence or sat in on government meetings (as Lyda Green reported Todd Palin had).

It's really upsetting. Especially when you hear people like Bill Clinton complementing the woman. I mean I will be the first to say what she has done is incredible. Sarah Palin's story is unbelievable. She is a wonder. That said, her husband is guilty of treason.

I frankly believe the use of Sarah Palin by John McCain's campaign is the most egregious form of sexism we've seen in US politics.

I find all these jokes and parodies a bit paradoxical because we are making fun of someone who is clearly under duress. She was "offered" the Ring and she took it. Who wouldn't? She is being held hostage and being used as a tool for an aging man and a dying regime. When all else fails use t-n-a. It's sexual harassment on the largest scale I can think of.

Sarah Palin is no dummy and I have a really hard time blaming the victim here. Whether or not she is "competent" was never a concern when she was chosen, anyone can see that. She was hired because she is a woman. Her career, her hard work meant and mean nothing to those bastards and to ridicule it now and not the guilty party is rather upsetting.

You guys all cried misogyny when people scrutinized Clinton. Well here it is for real. This is it.

As a parent, I blame Palin for exposing her pregnant, unwed teenage daughter to this media scrutiny. She should have put her daughter first and passed on this train wreck of a campaign.

I think the woman + religious conservative cannot be separated. There were more qualified women, and more qualified conservatives. She was the only one that met both, though she is completely unqualified.

As for choice, of course she had a choice. She chose to put her ambition ahead of her family.
