Tides are changing. A friend who was defending Phalin said today how long we have

[curious one]

to tolerate hearing that annoying voice! So we have a convert.

[KitchenWitch]

1. Do you mean Palin?

[curious one]

2. yes, failing.

[KitchenWitch]

3. Ah, got it...

Sometimes I am slow on the uptake!

[CitizenLeft]

4. seriously... aside from her being a Republican...

and just politically repulsive in general, ...the sound of her voice is like the jabs of 1,000 ice picks into your brain.

I tried, really tried to listen objectively to her "welcome home" speech. :eyes: Could only take 30 seconds, had to hit the remote button. Dear God. She's hideously annoying.

[Miss Chybil]

6. Some would call it shrill, but I guess that's not PC.

Oh well... It's still shrill.

[silverojo]

9. I'm tired of being PC with Repukes.

Time for us to tell it like it is.

[CitizenLeft]

12. I wouldn't even call it shrill. It's... the nasally aspect...

... the higher-pitched obnoxious tone combined with that "hawkey mawm" accent that reaaaaaaally gets under my skin. (stealing that "hawkey mawm" phrase from a DUer, whoever said it the other day - TOTALLY agree!)

[Miss Chybil]

15. If you look up shrill in the dictionary

you'll get almost exactly what you described. The word exists for a reason. :-)

8. The only cracks she's making in the glass ceiling are with that voice.

Is she live, or is she Memorex?

[Lakerstan]

5. Remember when you were a kid...

and used to hold your nose and day, "This is the operator speaking".

That's what her voice reminds me of.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

7. she sounds like a whiny Muffy bitch

kinda like Lois on "Family Guy" only a LOT worse.

[Lakerstan]

11. Speaking of "Family" shows...

Here's someone she sort of sounds like:

[NoSheep]

14. Look at them. They were brilliant.

[1Hippiechick]

10. She looks and sounds like a Roseanne Barr clip from the 80s- snarl and nasaly, sarcastic voice n/t

[obiwan]

13. Forget that. When I see and hear her, it's 1966 again...

... or she's one of Beaver Cleaver's mom's friends, or some combination of these two thoughts. The semi-beehive should be your first warning, as are glasses in the age of Lasik.

"But Ward, what about the Beaver?"

[smoochpooch]

16. "Hey! Don't throw away those milky minutes!"

Anyone? ;-)
