the Newsweek Cover
« on: November 21, 2009, 10:19:15 PM »
How tasteless and Stupid do you think it is?


Bad for America, and Bad for the GOP.  As if the GOP would listen to Newsweek's advice on what is good for Republicans?   

The ego and dementia of these people never ceases to amaze.

This story?

"Palin is awful.  She's so divisive.  Boo hoo."  **** Newsweek -- its a Bouncy Ball story printed on fancy paper.

Three things in life that I'll never do:

    [1]  Get the 4-1-1 on my religious beliefs (I'm mormon) from a Televangelist;

    [2]  Go to the Government Motors dealer for all the data on the Ford I'm looking at; and

    [3]  Take political advice from the propaganda whores for the New Communist Party (that's the Dim'Rats, for those of you in Rio Linda).

I think the cover backfired on Newsweek....especially since they reprinted it without permission from Runner's World.

And there's been a lot of criticism towards NOW for not coming out and denouncing the cover.

Any time she shows up any where on any media, that media person's ratings go through the roof.   I think they printed the cover just to get some of the attention.

In a non political year, Oprah got her best ratings ever when she had her on.   I can't imagine what happened with Rush's listenership when he had her on.

Even those who hate her, have to watch her now.

Which is why they get angry, because she got there all by herself, no need to play the victim card.

Whenever there is a cool person who does cool things with what seems a minimum of effort, there are always those that find doing the minimum acceptable a hard chore.    This second group usually hates the first group because there is no way they can come close.

It is also telling that she has over 350 requests from Republican senators and representatives to participate in their campaigns next  year, and has been averaging over $1 million in contributions for every fundraiser that she participates in.......

They are clearly scared s**tless of her......and rightly so......

We are going to be seeing a lot more of her in the next twelve months.

She's normal in that she went to state universities, married a guy who has to work for a living and she needs to work to in order to help the family budget, has kids ---that they are raising themselves without nannies and boarding schools, teenage daughter gets pregnant and has the kid instead of an abortion, she and her husband have a "challenged child", she doesn't wear designer clothes unless she gets a good deal on them, she doesn't (didn't rather) go around in a limo.

Gee....she sounds like 90% of the women in the country....

That's why people like her....she's just like the rest of us....

I heard McLame's people got crazy when Sarah came in with an outfit that she bought at a consignment shop....of course, she was quickly dressed with something they preferred. :whatever:

NOW is a big joke...they are not for women...they are for liberals.  The positive side of this story is that everyone knows now.

Martha Stewart came out and said Palin is dangerous and boring..... :lmao:  Gotta love it when an ex-con calls someone else dangerous.

Sarah Palin has more class in her pinky finger then Martha Stewart has in her whole body.  She is also WAY more intersting then Martha Steward.


Besides, fellas, who would you rather see in shorts?

Big deal, she wore running shorts for a picture for a running magazine.  :mental:

Have you ever seen how DUmmies dress?  :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Would there still be the outrage if she had a butch hair cut, code pink t-shirt, no bra & a trucker's wallet?
