Hi folks;
Palin fever over?
In yesterday’s thread about the dad lending his daughters the full amount on a $600,000 PS condo, some folks were all over me. This morning, I realized that I should have just quoted ole Billy Shakespeare, who had this to say on the matter:
“Neither a borrower nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.”
This is from Act 1 of Hamlet, in which Polonius is giving advice to his son, as he is set to depart for his education.
Its no surprise that liberal women, or really any women of any political stripe who understand the institutional/societal difficulties facing women attempting to reach high office, would feel angry and burned by Sarah Palin, who seems to have no qualifications for the jobs she seeks and who shows no curiosity about the world and its denizens. It would be far more surprising if this was not the case. It does go to show you how much looks count for in politics.
I found watching Palin to be totally fascinating. Like an SNL skit gone wild. [Obviously, I would have had to off myself if The Doddering Old Man and the Naughty Librarian won, though.]
Yeah, mentioning Sarah Palin around liberal women is always good for a few laughs. It’s like giving peanut butter to a dog. Predictable and kind of funny reaction.

M4L, it was a JOKE dear.
It’s a typical cliche remark that people make. As in: ‘I have X problem, I blame my parents.’
“Regardless, she was a candidate for VP of the United States.”
Even McCain realized his mistake, too late, but he got it.
Yes- you need ’em when Palin is talking. She’s never been one to let a fact get in the way of a lie.

DIBS, were your eyes fully fed at the beach?
