This has got to be the greatest quote of the year:
"This is a man [Barack Obama] who can give an entire speech about the wars America is fighting, and never use the word “victory” except when he’s talking about his own campaign. But when the cloud of rhetoric has passed … when the roar of the crowd fades away … when the stadium lights go out, and those Styrofoam Greek columns are hauled back to some studio lot - what exactly is our opponent’s plan? What does he actually seek to accomplish, after he’s done turning back the waters and healing the planet?" - Gov. (and future Vice President) Sarah Palin
I have received the biggest kick out of reading what the media is writing about her. They're trying to find anything to say against her - even if it's stupid.
The stupid, insipid, shallow "celebrity" blog sites have done their work as well. They're actually pointing out how much Laura Bush and Cindy McCain's outfits and jewelry they wore to the RNC actually cost. SERIOUSLY?????? I mean, SERIOUSLY? It makes me laugh because these guys who are bloggers are shaking in their stilettos - as they should be. When the fact that Cindy McCain is wearing Oscar de La Renta is their kind of "news"......these people have a long way to go.
The next time there's a Golden Globe or Oscar or SAG or Emmy awards show, a republican blogger, who more than likely is not wearing stilettos, should document how much the celebrities' dresses and jewelry cost - granted most of it is borrowed....which means what exactly?
Did anyone watch Bill O'Riley's interview with Barack?
I heart Bill.....

I heart Sarah Palin!
The Greek columns part made me LOL. I find it funny everyone is throwing stones at S.P. b/c her daughter is pregnant. Not that I think getting pregnant at 17 is ok, but 1)I didn't see everyone getting up in arms about Jamie Lynn Spears and calling Lynn Spears a bad mom and 2)I never knew there were SO MANY virginal brides and grooms in America. I guess her daughter was the first to have sex before marraige because I'm sure no other family has had such a thing happen to them...
Palin is the woman!
Obama came out last week and began to compare himself to Sarah... notice how that quickly went away, what a mistake! I think the real issue is that the other side must keep the focus off their own candidate. If everyone knew that their candidate has failed at about everything except running a campaign it would be catastrophic for them. Most of his “community outreach projects” have failed or are failing. As a student at Harvard he was never published. As a professor in Chicago he was never published. He voted “present” 127 times instead of taking a position (over 50% of the time) in the Illinois State senate. Overall, this candidate has sponsored 65 bills but passed ZERO, and cosponsored 364 with only 5 being passed. His motto is change but has failed to demonstrate competence at each step to his present position. Sarah Palin could be the only one on the ticket and would still have demonstrated more credential than Obama. Sorry if this is harsh but I am seriously looking for a concrete metric to support his popularity and come up with nothing.
Okay, you KNOW that I love you guys, and you KNOW that I don't want to start anything, and if I hadn't had a peach daquiri tonight (okay, two), I would be leaving this post alone. Here's the thing, though: I agree that the bloggers are trying to tear SP to shreds, and the media does have a bit of a liberal bias this election season. However, I think the point of the discussion about Cindy McCain's wardrobe is this: how can the American people truly feel that a potential First Lady really has anything in common with them when she wears an outfit that costs more than their house? Come on, her EARRINGS ALONE cost more than most people make in a year! When a politican tells people that he understands that their budgets are being stretched to the breaking point, but his family is outfitted in (arguably) lavish duds, it comes off as disingenuous. Okay, I'm off the soapbox.
