You know, the old "Joe Lieberman Channel?" And didn't I used to watch the old "Jack Kemp Channel?" Oh, that's right. They didn't exist. Why? Because they were NORMAL PEOPLE, not freaks like Palin.

And, what's with the yarmulkes? I guess her visitors thought visiting Palin was the equivalent of going to temple.

I have long hair and wear mine outside nearly every day. Mine sits down on my head. The other men (and 1 woman) who choose to regularly wear Kipos all have them conform to the top of their heads quickly.
The visitors' Kipos looked like they came out of the synagogue grab box (not everybody owns one).

Curious.

screeching drivel?!? $arah always sounds loaded, too. I could only stomach 2 minutes of that heinous babble. This is a perfect example of The Banality of Evil.

Once again, I wish I believed in hell because John McCain deserves to burn in it for eternity for foisting that half-witted dumbass on all of us. I will never forgive Steve Schmidt either. I don't buy his lame ass justification of such a hideous choice for VP as a "political decision." I hope he experiences a lifetime of waking up in a cold sweat at 3:00 a.m. after what he almost did to the planet. I have a Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 which I LOVE, but the YouTube clip above is sort of small. Does the tall doofus with her have just a really bad haircut or is he wearing a skull cap?

I don't know know whether to , , , or .

I will forever be convinced that the only reason for picking Palin was the assumption that Hillary backers would vote for anyone with tits. And, contrary to her drivel, the press gave her a very easy ride. If Obama's wife had been a freaking secessionist, the right would have... treated him exactly as they have.

"Country First", a sick, twisted joke. McCain was putting McCain--not country--first, just as he's always done. Cynicism describes it perfectly. It also demonstrated the McCain campaign's utter contempt for us women by picking that grifting dumbass. They thought we were so feeble minded that we'd vote for anything with a uterus and that we'd completely disregard Palin's record of anti-woman policies. She tried to force victims of sexual assault to pay for their own rape kits, for chrissakes. "Country First", my Aunt Fanny...

A fringe-right corporate whore who sings in the church choir and has a hick accent. The party that preaches personal responsibility to the poor always looks for someone else to blame for their own faults and Palin is no different. None of them are ever held accountable for anything, they just blame Obama, the "lamestream gotcha media", everyone is out to get her and she's the real victim, the woman is the walking incarnation of DARVO.

wonders, but she's looking more & more like Cruella De Vil with each passing day. She knows that's all she's got, so I think that's why she's getting more shrill, "controversial", & downright desperate every time she opens her yap. Her videos that she's posted on her ripoff channel are actually scary. They make absolutely no sense, like that stupefying screed about Elizabeth Warren & raising the minimum wage for fast food workers. Did you see that clip? YEESH. Can you imagine how brutal the right wing hate machine would be if Sasha & Malia acted as despicably as $arah's spawn does, or if one of them became an unwed teen mom? We'd never hear the end of it. I can just imagine what Lard Ass Limbaugh would spew if Sasha or Malia had left her toddler in a limo while attending a drunken midnight party. And why hasn't CPS gotten involved in the aftermath of the Thrilla in Wasilla? They arrested that homeless African American mom for leaving her older kids in her car while she went on a job interview. Who knows what sort of creep that limo driver could've been?

Realizing that there are some 2,000,000 +or- Americans that tune in to this absolute embarrassing bull shit everyday is depressing and insulting to anyone's intelligence. Tuning in to this low-intelligence, bimbo, parasitic zero is really about as low as you can go to show just how ashamed we need to be of our fellow citizens. It makes me want to vomit.

Thank God we all showed up that year. She's a scam artist, looking for her next way to con more people and make a few bucks.

Ya know, during my career, I was paid for my willingness to learn and apply my expertise and intelligence. This woman has done NOTHING but get paid to look good. She lives in a make believe world, and wants people to pay her to hear all about it. Think about it. 2M viewers at 10 bucks a pop. 20M a month? That's absurd!!! For what? NOTHING!!! All you have to do is see the video.

It was done soooooooooo professional. And at 10 bucks a month, don't you think they could build a studio in their backyard? Build a 2 story and you can REALLY see Russia from there.
