Applebaum: Sarah Brings an End to the Clinton Era

She calls it the Clinton era but only talks about Hillary.

Teh bitch factor?

More than that: she became the archetype of the Powerful American Woman. She herself once explained the hostility she inspires as the misdirected fury of men who were angry at a “female boss” or other female authority figure. They felt bad about being subordinate to a woman at work, so they took it out on her.

The words "frumpy" and "pantsuit" are also applied.

Anne wants to sound like she "gets it". I don't think she does. On the new Palin era:

All of this while managing a personal life which sounds alarmingly like a Nashville country-and-western ballad: daughter pregnant at 17, husband once arrested for drink driving, sister married to an abusive husband, son on his way to Iraq. Everyone wants to know how she does it.

Fine. I'll accept their weakness and struggling to comprehend.

You don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Because it will bite you.

Also, some Demure Thoughts about Clinton, election conclusions which seem obvious to the sentient, and the lib elite running the Dem party.

I challenge any journalist to name a Nashville country and western ballad they've actually listened to firsthand.

"son on his way to Iraq"

Because, you know, only trailer-trash, country-music-listenin' hicks would volunteer to join the Military...

11 Everyone wants to know how she does it? You mean has a normal life, with normal problem like pretty much most of the rest of the country? Gee. Huh. Maybe because she has a loving family, is a strong woman and is able to manage her time and life?

And I think people forget just how popular country music is. Possibly because it reflects normal life better than rap and rock do.

Years ago, before I was personally acquainted with a lot of strong and amazing Christian women, I would have been just as skeptical as all these MSM chicks. How on earth could someone be a good mom AND a good governor? Just didn't seem possible. Now, having lived in small-town Kansas for nearly 20 years, I pity the MSM chicks, because they've obviously never had the blessing of knowing the kind of women I find myself surrounded by here. Their secret? Being "plugged in" to the only energy source that never runs out. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (Philippians 4:13)

I give Glick huge points for using the word applicability... i just love that word.

The Obamagina is starting to lose some of his sparkly goodness and it makes him weep and it probably pisses Michelle off and reminds her of why she hates America. I can hear it now, "I had to sleep with that fat cow Oprah to get you this far and that cracker senator from Arizona went and did this shit. Get off your ass Barry and do something beside cry. Running a campaign is qualifications for being president? Are you back on the pipe, bitch? This is not good for my children."

Sarah! Sarah! Sarah! The Manchurian Candidate (fiction becoming reality) vs. the Jackie Robinson Story (Reality which is becoming a fiction). Isn't it funny that no matter how hard Sen. Obama tries he can't get above the high 40's in the polls. His missteps and associates are always viewed as far worse than anything Palin and McCain have done. Because let's face it we don't want a smooth talking black guy to rip us off, right? That's because most people in the country don't want to see a black president, no matter how smart or well meaning or articulate and inspiring he is. Because what we all really want is a pitbull with lipstick. I don't know how Palin does it all and frankly I don't care. I know a lot of single mothers and fathers who struggle all the time. I know people with children with disabilities and elderly parents who struggle all the time. I heard of teenage girls who have to do desperate things to support them and their babies...white and black, religious or not. So let's get off our high horse (or Moose as it were and

I wanted the smartest person, with an intelligent grasp and concern for the issues that effect my life and I dare say the lives of most of us who are just middle class people getting by, when it's harder and harder. Not some guy with 5 houses who's probably gonna keel over 2-3 years into his term and leave us with a self righteous arch right wing Fundamentalist who we have no idea about other than the strictly controlled story line. We have some serious, serious problems and we need serious people to deal with them. Not some self professed Hockey Mom, who just hurled veiled racial (community organizer, do nothing, smooth talker) insults with aplomb, yet isn't ready to talk to reporters. So we think that the great white hope from the North is going to swoop down and save us from the unspeakable...and she's a good looking hunter with a sharp tongue and a penchant for vengeance to boot...Hooyah!!

If we elect McCain and Palin for the reasons I've seen in the above posts, we are all idiots and will get what we deserve, they will be laughing all the way to the White House. Go back to sleep everyone...turn on the game and forget about our problems, when you wake up it'll be morning in America again.

67 Certainly watches are Replica Watches used to help people record rolex Watches time, but rolex watches nowadays its functions have enlarged. Replica watches are now tag heuer Watches not only objects that tag heuer watches can tell you what time it is, they are also a status symbol. You should not feel strange when you find someone wearing a watch on his wrist, but use the cell phone to tell time. In that situation, the watch is just showing its luxurious function cartier watches. It is normal and cartier watches perhaps also happens to you. .If asked that among the watches of various brands, which one can suit your taste? There is no doubt that most people will choose Rolex. Whichever social class you are in, it is naturally Rolex was known breitling Watches and cherished breitling watches for a long time. However, the elements do not usually enter the market alone, always come with the price tag up to the hand. For this reason, many people, especially men, their dreams of luxury Rolex watches are buried in omega Watches his heart omega watches. What should I do? Rolex watches are simply stunning worn by the rich and famous, right? No, this world is not the world's richest men, is the world of each. All are equal before the search of luxury and be men's watches respected. Within men's watches, the law, when consumers are in the market, women's watches they should women's watches receive the same treatment. This is the real reason why replica Rolex watches are ladies watches ladies watches more welcome than Rolex. Because in this world are not difficult to understand that the rich are much less than people with low income, you agree with me? You are forced to nod and say with certainty that is the reality. These low-income people do not have enough money to save every month. They can not afford such luxury Rolex watches

But as a matter of fact, the name Oyster does not actually meant for a rolex Watches particular watch you can buy rolex watches or even to a series but to a type of case that available in some of the Rolex ranges. History The Oyster case was first released in 1926. The objective was to protect the workings of the watch from dust and moisture. Early watches were far from waterproof. The Oyster tag heuer Watchescase was an tag heuer watches innovative design to eliminate these problems. It had a new double locking crown that screwed into place. It has been compared to the hatch on a submarine. Like a submarine, the Oyster case was waterproof. In 1927 Mercedes Gleitze swam the English breitling Watches Channel breitling watches . Before she set off she was presented with a Rolex Oyster. When she arrived, the watch was still working perfectly. The resulting publicity gave the new case a massive boost. Why is it called Oyster? Legend has it that Hans cartier Watches Wilsdorf cartier watches, who invented the Oyster, chose the name because the new case reminded him of the difficulty he had experienced prising open oysters at dinner. Since then the Oyster has further, particularly advanced. Many Oyster watches today are omega Watches perpetual-self-winding, in other omega watches words, it does not require to expose the mechanism to the outside world in order to wind it.
