Ann Althouse Is Dumb

At least about Sarah Palin.

Althouse argues that Sarah Palin's "passivity" and reluctance to stand up for herself vis a vis the McCain campaign's determination that she should start her interviews with Katie Couric and the like proves she's kinda dumb.

She seems to be making some feminist point about women being just as capable of men and therefore, her thinking goes, needing to act in that fashion, and not whine later that their opinions were overlooked.

Why didn't you have a say [about what media you were interviewed by]? There's that "really" hedging: You didn't really have a say. You're pleading passivity and impotence but you want us to think you have what it takes to be President of the United States?

As a general proposition about women's need to assert themselves, maybe she has a point, but here, I think her Sisters Gotta Do It For Themselves analysis overlooks a major point: Sarah Palin did not act as a subordinate to John McCain due to her sex, or her gender's desire to avoid conflict, or anything at all like that.

She acted as a subordinate to John McCain because she really was as subordinate to John McCain. Althouse's analysis seems to easily gloss over the fact that John McCain really was the boss here, and Sarah Palin really was the underling.

I don't know if Althouse, being a tenured (I assume) professor, really has a "boss" anymore, or if her status means that she's essentially the Boss of Herself. So perhaps she has forgotten: Whether you are male or female, and whether your boss is male or female, the boss gets his way.

The underling may offer suggestions. The underling may protest. But at the end of the day, the boss gets his way.

So I don't view this as some kind of "Sarah Palin is too weak to stand up for herself" thing. I view it instead as "Sarah Palin joined a team, with the express (and historically well-founded) understanding that all choices about the campaign are ultimately made by the actual captain of the team -- the presidential candidate -- and conducted herself accordingly, despite the fact that she thought the boss was erring badly."

I just don't understand how that is so easily blown-off as immaterial.

So, Sarah Palin acted as if she were not John McCain's equal? Pssst: Keep it low, but she wasn't John McCain's equal.

If Ann Althouse did have a boss capable of firing her, I can assure her that the boss would get his or her way, male or female, and she, as an underling, would not get her way, and Althouse's sex has little to do with that. And in the end, every one of Althouse's suggestions might be ignored, and that would have nothing to do with Althouse's sex, or intelligence, or willingness to stand up for herself. It would have everything to do with the basic concept of the boss gets first and last say.

What am I missing? Is this some minor technicality easily elided?

She may quibble that in this case, Palin was not a clear subordinate in the sense she could be fired. She could be fired, of course, but admittedly, firing Sarah Palin would have doomed John McCain more than he was already doomed. So that would have been an unappealing option. Palin did have some leverage here, then, more than most subordinates. (But every subordinate has that leverage, too: Your boss obviously wants to keep you on, which is why you're still employed in the first place, so firing a valuable employee is never a cost-free decision.)

But even if she had some leverage, that doesn't mean she should exercise it willy-nilly. She came into the situation as a subordinate and even if she could, theoretically, start throwing her weight around and making demands -- even if she could, hypothetically, demand that the ticket be a true partnership -- what kind of a monster would do that?

This was John McCain's candidacy, to win, or to piss away, as he saw fit. He chose the latter, as we all know. I don't think it's necessary, in order to prove one is a strong woman capable of standing up for herself, to be a total dick.

Which is what Althouse seems to be arguing. That if Palin failed to act like a total dick and disrespect the clear, 230+ year understanding that the presidential candidate is the decision-maker as regards the campaign, and the vice presidential candidate is an adviser only (and often not even that-- I don't think Joe Biden had much say in the Obama campaign, but fortunately he truly was too stupid to realize he was being condescended to like a retarded child), then she's somehow unqualified for the job of President.

Different jobs have different job descriptions. It is the job of the vice presidential candidate to support the presidential candidate and defer to him. That is the job description; that is the job's responsibilities. I don't think the fact that she correctly served in one job proves that she's incapable of performing in a completely different job.

This also seems lose-lose for Palin, because she did, in fact, eventually go a bit rogue and assert herself. And in those situations, she's called out as not being a team player and sabotaging McCain's chances and acting as if she's the boss when she's not. (Note: Althouse isn't making this case, so there is no contradiction on her part.)

But in fact that's what McCain's people are claiming: That even Palin's minor deviations from the script given to her constituted disloyalty and a failure to act according to the captain's orders.

So what is the correct strategy here? Just pretend she's actually the boss and the presidential candidate and therefore entitled to make any campaign decisions she likes?

I don't get that. Althouse's argument seems to be rooted in some form of overcompensation where she's claiming that women should never act as subordinates even when they are, in fact, subordinates. And if women did behave in such a manner (thankfully, they do not), they would be bad employees and their bosses would be justified in purging their companies of these chronically insubordinate, incompetent female employees.

But that's the thing about Sarah Palin: The mere mention of her name is enough to make normally-sensible people begin babbling silliness.

Actually: This ties into one of the more destructive memes in feminist thought: That to assert oneself as a woman requires that that woman behave unreasonably.

I read this a lot on feminist sites. Crap like "In order to prove you are the equal of your husband, you can and should make him go without sex for up to an entire year, or more, if that's what your free-thinking independent-minded heart desires."

There is a lot of very unpleasant overcompensation among feminist thinkers, where it often suggested that "equality" means, somehow, utter dominance and total lack of any interest in compromise and give-and-take. That every compromise or gesture towards comity is somehow a betrayal of one's womanhood. That strict mercenary self-interest in all things is somehow elevated to a virtue, and any deviation from that, a sign of weakness.

Again: I don't understand why the feminist ideal should be acting like a total douchebag about everything.

Men don't see it as an ideal to be aspired to that we get our way on everything and show no interest whatsoever in compromise and balancing respective interests. Why does the feminist ideal often seem to suggest that is the goal?

She voted for President Dreamy.  I don't question her patriotism, I question her judgment.

I tried to post this at her site:

Hey Ann,

   I think you're being harsh. Sarah admits not having a national name. She was on McCain's team, so her say was limited. McCain's campaign, McCain's rules. I mean, how weird would it have been if Biden had fought Obama's aides on whom to interview with? Biden works for Obama now, Obama's guys make the call.

She was right about going through Fox, but a campaign guy overruled her and even made it seem palatable that Couric would be civil.

And Couric was going through a really bad stretch--3rd in ratings, no crossover from her morning fans, criticized and studied relentlessly (as Charles Gibson had not been). Nicolle making that case to Palin made sense.

I think you don't like Palin, and that's fine. But this attack is a little much.

14 i don't see how any of this stuff hurts sarah in the long run, the old adage "there's no such thing as bad publicity" comes to mind. her book is going to be a HUGE bestseller, the tour will draw remarkable crowds and the talking heads will be dissecting every passage of her memoir for weeks with her giving all sorts of interviews (apparently she's going to be on rush: tue@1pm) beginning with oprah on monday. imo she's the ONLY republican that can take down obama in 2012.

Posted by: weewilly at November 13, 2009 03:48 PM (iBHcm)

15 I think the following scenario explains the facts more thoroughly: Sarah had never been on a national campaign so at first she did what she was told. She did this for a while, then noticed that the campaign staff was misusing her, so she tried to rectify that on her own. McCain screwed up by suspending his campaign, though, and no amount of Sarah could fix that.

Posted by: joncelli at November 13, 2009 03:49 PM (RD7QR)

16 I agree completely with ace's criticism of Althouse's...whatever that was, but I'm hoping the book is more memoir than tell-all.  Tell-all books are unpleasant, no matter who writes them. 

I don't believe that getting into a number of high-profile fights with the media, former McCain staffers, etc is the best route for Palin to take if she's thinking about higher office in the future.  I just hope this book is more of a re-introduction to who she is and what she believes than a settling of past scores.

From the excerpt over at Drudge, it seems Sarah was conned into the interview with Couric. McCain obviously didn't have her best interests in mind.

I'd be willing to be that Sarah started to see McCain's faults about three days after she'd committed to the VP post. She knew he couldn't win, and therefore she couldn't win, by waffling, going along to get along, and basically being submissive to everything the left wants, including kissing up to reporters who despise conservatives.

Posted by: BackwardsBoy at November 13, 2009 03:50 PM (ZGhSv)

19 It's not that she served McCain's campaign in a subservient role, I think, Ace, it's a: that she's whining about it now, and that b: where she could have cast judgement ( Couric) she was a bit simple about that, naive, and too easily swayed by someone who is pushing Palin's interests as only a second priority.

You would not catch Lynn Cheney making these same mistakes, then or now.

Just saying.

20 Man, it's Dumb Law Professor Day here at the HQ.

One of the reasons I'm still willing to give Palin a look as the nominee in '12 or anytime is because she had to deal with toeing the McCain Camp line on policy, style and message.

The gig was called Republican  Nominee for Vice President.  And in this case 'Vice" doesn't mean "Ace of Spades Lifestyle(tm) Compliant".

You know, it wasn't like Joey Biden was calling the shots over at Team Obama.


Posted by: DrewM. at November 13, 2009 03:50 PM (FCWQb)

21 Spot-on, Ace. 

Ann's post was sort of snitty and not particularly thoughtful.

But, this is from a gal who voted for Obama on a feel-good whim and who now (how many months later?) clearly regrets it. 

And you're right, she doesn't have a boss. She is tenured.  And, frankly, even before someone is tenured, the normal workplace mindset does not apply in the faculty ranks.  You are working to achieve reputation, but not trying to meet specific goals or achieve results upon which the rest of the organization depends (except for the most basic things like class hours taught).  The tenure decision is a highly-political group-think decision.  The dean, president, and trustees may technically be the ones making that decision, but it's your peers' opinions that matter most.

22 Althouse voted for Obama.

I had heard her name but didn't know a lot about her. A little research shows that she is a "federalist" and believes in the Constitution.

However, she was a Jesse Jackson supporter, a Bush supporter after 9-11, and an Obama supporter.

She supports the Constitution and yet she believes Roe should be upheld.

I submit that she IS a liberal, does not believe in the Consituion as written, and since she supports abortion there is no way she could ever support anything Palin ever said or did.

So I withdraw the "normally sensible". She is a split personality. She says one thing and does another.

Posted by: erp at November 13, 2009 03:52 PM (BDRHK)

24 Althouse actually does try to have it both ways, Ace.  She explicitly dings Palin for 'sneaking around' to get numbers for Limbaugh, et al., when McCain's staff wouldn't get her any decent exposure.  So her argument is: (1) Palin shouldn't have believed McCain's staff & done the Couric interview they set up, but (2) trying to make her own decisions about media interviews was deceitful and stupid.

30 With Palin, it's simple. She believes in the same things as Conservatives:

God
Guns
American Oil
Strong Defense
No Illegal Immigration
Less Government
Less Taxes
Less Abortion

Who else in the running out there stands for all 8 of these pillars? Sure, Palin has a few rough spots, but you forget that we suffer through gaffe-a-day slow Joe Biden and that raging jackass in the White House has a laundry list of problems with his Presidency that Sarah Palin NEVER EVER would have gotten us into.
Finally, remember, Palin put her money where her mouth was and came out very quickly for Hoffman, when very few would.

I'll buy her book and support her financially.

32 I often get the same vibe I get from Althouse that I get from Megan McArdle: a woman who can't quite be dishonest enough to buy the liberal line entirely...but falls for it anyway. It drives me nuts because the two ladies say so much that is wise.

I blame people like Althouse and McArdle for shackling us to the Presidential disaster we are now in the middle of -- they knew his background and record, and yet still managed to convince themselves that he would govern as a moderate anyway.* I don't blame the rank-and-file leftists because seriously, it's not like there was ever any question who they'd vote for. No, it's the so-called "centrists" and "moderates" like Althouse that handed the reins of the country to this leftist idiot.

*Plus he was a dreamy black guy, and I'm cynical enough to believe that there's still a substantial amount of white guilt at play, whether Althouse or McArdle will admit it or not.

But she was in a subordinate role, and she shouldn't be criticized for behaving accordingly.

And what is this about her "whining" about it now? Every tell-all book in DC has the subtitle, as the joke goes, "If Only They Had Listened to Me."

Why is Sarah Palin singled out for criticism here?

By the way, if Liz Cheney is going to NOT act as a subordinate were she chosen as Veep pick, then guess what: She doesn't have what it takes to be Veep and no one should pick her.

The presidential candidate has the right to expect his Veep to support him, and not vice-versa.

She had to sneak around and have a friend find her the phone numbers to Rush, Sean, Glenn, Mark, etc! Then she called them and talked to them on their own. She just called in out of the blue like a regular caller to Glenn Beck and he couldnt believe it since he was trying to book her through the campaign for weeks!

See, I don't think suspending the campaign was the screwup. It was not bashing Nobama over the head with it.

When McCain suspended and Nobama kept campaigning, I thought it was perfect. Finally, I thought. McCain will use this to point out that Nobama is only concerned with himself and winning and not the best interests of the country.

I figured it would show people just how narcissitic and really immature and uncaring Nobama is. He didn't even get involved in the bailout which he claimed we needed. All Nobama cared about was getting elected, not the country.

But McCain let him slip by on it. Dumbass.

49 In order to prove you are the equal of your husband, you can and should make him go without sex for up to an entire year, or more, if that's what your free-thinking independent-minded heart desires.

Just don't act shocked when he divorces your frigid, uptight ass and takes up with someone else who doesn't use sex as a bartering tool. Don't bluff if you're not willing to lose the hand. Feminism of this sick modern stripe has killed more marriages than anything else in the years since 1965 or so. And it sure hasn't made women any happier or healthier, as far as I can tell. It's mostly produced a generation of bitter, bitchy women who view every interaction as an opportunity for gender-war. No thanks.

61 Ace, I think you misread Althouse.

eg "But she was in a subordinate role, and she shouldn't be criticized for behaving accordingly. "
That's not what the criticism is, exactly, or at least it isn't MINE.

Behaving in a subordinate role does not require Palin (or any other candidate including a hypothetical LC) to be a sucker. Agreeing to an interview with Couric does not require her to believe that it was a good plan, or everthing she is told about Couric. She was not required to trust everything to be told to be in HER best interest, or even the campaigns; only to weight carefully and to act on McCain's wishes. She should serve the campaign, but she needn't be blinkered to reality in order to accomplish that.

And nothing requires her, in a tell-all, to tell THIS, and to tell it THIS WAY.

Painting herself as an outfoxed dupe of Wallace (or Couric ) is probably not the best self-promotion of her leadership skills.

Cheney might have gone into the interview PREPARED.

(And that hardly means she would not be willing to carry out her duty to fall on some sort of campaign sword for McCain.)

63 Men don't see it as an ideal to be aspired to that we get our way on everything and show no interest whatsoever in compromise and balancing respective interests.

Actually, I have met some men who do.  They're usually from fundamentalist religious backgrounds.  You know the kind where the man decides everything for the good of the family.

65 I've always wanted to have a sit-down with Althouse and McArdle (a real one, at a coffee shop, over a hot cup of joe and maybe a donut) and ask them honestly why in God's name they cast a vote for Obama if they consider themselves political moderates. Was it a rational choice or simply an emotional one? (Yes, yes, I know: accusing women of emotionalism is sexist. So be it.)

I have to confess that my opinion of them sank dramatically when they made their voting preferences clear; it was rather like finding out that they believed in Bigfoot or astrology. It didn't make them bad people, but it made their opinions suspect. I've never been able to read even a sympathetic essay by either lady in the months since with the same degree of attention. (This reflects badly on me, I suppose, but there it is.)

The womyn who tout that as a feminist ideal are douchebags themselves.  But if they insist that's ideal female behavior, they never have to look at their own selves critically, much less change--they can continue to demand that everyone else must change to accomodate them. 

To be fair, it's not limited to feminists.  *cough*sharia*cough*

Pointing out that Couric edited out her more substantive comments after the interview was over when she didn't have any control over it is "painting herself as an outfoxed dupe"? No, sorry, pointing out Couric's dishonest editing is just that, pointing out her dishonesty.

I don't read it that way at all. I read it as her deferring, reluctantly, to her boss. All this "dupe" and "outfoxed" stuff is your gloss on it, painting it in the worst possible terms.

I don't see why that's necessary. This is standard. The presidential candidate is owed deference; he is the man in the arena. The Vice President is there merely to support and to (maybe) carry one swing state.

I don't see why when we're talking about Sarah Palin all the rules suddenly change to the most vindictive, punishing rules possible -- and only for her and no one else.

Got news for you: Joe Biden did not contribute in any way to Obama's campaign.

And not just because he is borderline retarded. He is that, of course. But mostly because, guess what, Obama won the nomination and it was HIS party.

82 I don't think it's necessary, in order to prove one is a strong woman capable of standing up for herself, to be a total dick.

Neither do I, Ace. The problem is that most feminists DO think that you have to act like an overbearing asshole all the time in order to assert yourself and break through the barriers, yada, yada, yada. And they fervently believe that this is the way MEN act to get ahead, so they're emulating it. For a group of people that makes it so clear how much they hate men, for the life of me, I cant understand why they would want to act like their worst male nightmares.

My time in corporate America, including as a manager myself, showed me that the BEST women managers were always the ones that understood and played to their feminine strengths. The ones who tried to act like the assholes they think men are were the WORST kind of people to be around, both as a subordinate and as a superior.

If I want to be a 'good feminist' and make my husband go without sex for a whole year, does that mean I have to go without sex for that year also.

Also (cocks), I know it is widely believed and even true that feminists hate men, but it has always been my belief that feminists envy men. They want to be men, just with different bodies. They HATE women. They want us to not be the way (generalizing, of course) we are; our choices, desires etc...are all suspect, wrong and even dangerous. I like men the way they are (generalizing again) and most of all, I enjoy being a girl.

There is a lot of very unpleasant overcompensation among feminist thinkers, where it often suggested that "equality" means, somehow, utter dominance and total lack of any interest in compromise and give-and-take. That every compromise or gesture towards comity is somehow a betrayal of one's womanhood.

You could say the exact same thing about modern-day Liberalism and it's thinkers.

85 >>>Does this constitute sexism on Ann Althouse's part? Would she say this if the Veep were male, or the First Banana were female?

I was going to add that thought, in the normal employer-employee relationship. Methinks Althouse might have a different read on it were it the woman in charge, and the man -- acting according to his masculinist ideal -- behaving in a grossly insubordinate fashion.

I don't think in that situation Althouse would urge the man to continue undermining and defying his boss. In that case, I think she would have a pretty good appreciation of the usual dynamic that the boss is in charge.

I really do not think it is a good idea for feminists to champion gross insubordination as an ideal to aspire to (so long as the ones doing the insubordinating are female).

86 The only way BHO wins another term is if Palin is on the GOP ticket in 2012. If she is, BHO will be given another term. It's doesn't matter what the unemployment number is or anything. Palin's negative polling numbers are far too high to get elected.

Posted by: Onlooker at November 13, 2009 04:16 PM (M3hG/)

87 I'm curious why people think Palin should not have trusted the recommendations of McCain staffers charged with rolling out her media appearances.  What are these staffers for if not for making these judgment calls? 

There's simply no way that the Couric interview would have gone well.  If the gal who insisted to Palin that she had a special relationship with or understanding of Couric's motivations and leanings honestly believed Couric was a friendly interviewer, do you think that this same staffer warned Palin to be prepared for gotcha' questions and choppy editing? 

Posted by: Y-not at November 13, 2009 04:16 PM (sey23)

88 For me, it wasn't so much that Palin did as she was told, as any subordinate really would. It was that she bought into the sob story Wallace told. Palin admits to feeling bad for Couric because her ratings sucked.

And I'm sorry, but I wouldn't take an interview that would potentially destroy my political future because a McCain adviser thought I should. I would've taken it to the higher-ups, including McCain himself.

What would he have done? Fired her? He would've been done right then and there. Game over. The campaign more than likely would've relented and the interview would've gone to another anchor.

She bought into a sob story a former CBS employee told about Couric. She then accepted the interview. Bottom line.

I kind of agree with this. We don't know how much control Palin had during the campaign, if any at all. If she wasn't free to be herself from day one (and she knew that), why would she sign on? If you're gonna be VP, you'd expect to have at least a little bit of say in who is going to interview you and what not.

The part about this excerpt that was most interesting (to me) was that Palin wanted to go on Rush, Laura, etal early on in the campaign. This is what a lot of conservatives were begging McCain to do - get her feet wet with friendly interviews and go out from there. She wasn't a national figure and no idea how bad the national media could be. Instead, they fed her to the wolves with Gibson and Couric - they should have expected it was going to be a hit job.

The excerpt at Drudge really speaks a lot about how ashamed of Palin they were - by hiding her from the media, even prior to the Couric debacle. That says everything you need to know about McCain, I think.

96 Althouse is usually a pretty good read. She really does seem to be a moderate, so when she shifts our way, more power to her. Don't see the benefit in running her down personally.

That said, as brad pointed out earlier, she really is trying to have it both ways. Palin should have expected enemies within her own circle and tried to fight them lest she show that she can't handle the real bad guys on the world stage (the first part of Althouse's piece). And Palin should have trusted them and accepted control because apparently they were right about her not being ready. It's a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" indictment, and it's an unfair analysis by Althouse.

True...but Palin certainly no worse than Biden. In most ways (including the all-important photogenic area) she was far superior. It says something that she was always being compared to Obama and not to Biden; Biden, as Ace says, was (and is) a complete non-entity. V.P. picks usually are -- they're on board mainly to bring a swing state or two aboard, not to influence policy. (Cheney broke the mold in that respect, but he did it after becoming VP, not during the campaign.)

There was quite a lot of pure green-eyed jealousy on the part of female commentators of both left and right. Many women seemed to loathe Palin on a purely limbic level that didn't even engage the higher brain at all.

I think Cheney did it BEFORE that, too, but because he was Cheney, and he was always among the most trusted of Bush family advisors, except maybe James Baker, and Baker was daddy's guy, not W's.

Cheney is extremely atypical. Cheney had a lot of sway with W., but not because he had been joined to Cheney on a ticket, but because Cheney had bee advising him for years.

Remember, Cheney himself was the head of Bush's Veep selection committee. He chose himself. Or forwarded himself; Bush chose him.

That's a funny joke, there, but the reason that happened is that Cheney was already Bush's consiglierte. The Veep pick just made official what was already de facto.

Use to enjoy Althouse's photography. But she is a law prof, which almost by definition means she's a commie, so I quit clicking on her site. And I hate it when she subs at Instapundit.
As to McCain, he lost the day he was nominated. Palin kept him from losing by the biggest landslide in modern times.

You ever notice how women are always trying to catch the eye of the guy with the hot girlfriend / wife? 

That type of tension is what is happening here.  Sarah is getting all of the attention.  Other women hate that.  The hate it even more because they know - know that she deserves all the attention.

All of the attention.  What does that leave them with.

None of the attention.

Hell, I understand why they hate her.  But I don't sympathize with them.  I'm too busy giving my attention to Sarah.

136 >>>There was quite a lot of pure green-eyed jealousy on the part of female commentators of both left and right. Many women seemed to loathe Palin on a purely limbic level that didn't even engage the higher brain at all.

I try to avoid saying that too much because it's so obviously provocative and insulting but yeah, there is truth in this "limbic level" thing.

It is hard to get the people who hate palin to express why they hate palin.

Look at the female writer David Frum. This David Frum, she hates Sarah Palin. Her reasons for hating Palin? Palin is an "extremist" or something.

Well, I have half a mind to write this woman, David Frum, an open letter and ask her what "extremist" position Palin has championed.

As far as I can tell Palin is a perfectly mainstream Republican, of the conservative stripe. She's pro life, as 75% of the party is, she favors drill here, drill now, as 85% of the party does, etc.

I am unaware of a single "extremist" position EXCEPT for the "death panels" formulation, which 1, is not a position, it's a bit of rhetoric to describe a mainstream position, and 2, it's not extreme either.

So I have to assume this bosomy, soft-handed woman writer David Frum is just jealous of Palin.

I think there is a lot of good criticism to be had about Palin in other ways. She is, in fact, inexperienced, especially for the job of President. She has, in fact, acted more erratically (quitting her Governorship) than I am generally comfortable with in a president -- I want them boring and predictable, not exciting and unpredictable. Etc.

But this extremist crap?

Where does this busty whore David Frum get off?

Most of the long knives seem to come out from women pundits themselves on the right and on the left. I'm sorry, maybe I'm being a bit of a misogynist myself here, but I tend to take everything with a grain of salt concerning any scorn from a woman concerning Palin and look first at the envy and jealousy angle.

When was the last time Althouse had a book on the NYT's bestseller list or #1 on Amazon weeks before it even came out?

That would be never.

I read this snippet from her book to mean Palin thought Wallace's sob story re: Couric was totally bullshit ("What does this have to do with McCain's campaign?"), but opted to be a team player and go into the interview. Where Palin muffed it was she gave some incoherent responses, wasn't her usual assertive self and CBS edited the shit out of the interview. What the fuck was Palin supposed to do? "No, Wallace, I'm not doing this interview, and you can kiss my gorgeous ass." If only. Like Ace stated, Palin wasn't McCain's wingman, she was his subordinate, and it was only after push came to shove did she fight back. She had to sneak calls to conservative interviewers. Are you shitting me?! That's ridiculous.

The real crime here was McCain staffers treating Palin like a little girl and pulling rank over her. She was the fucking VP candidate, a grown ass woman and executive of a State. No way should McCain have allowed her to be treated like this. Fuck that old bastard. "Stand and fight with me, my friends!" God damn it, I'm getting madder just typing this. I hope Palin raises holy hell with this book, gets out her story and then when she starts stumping for candidates in 2010 if anybody brings up 2008 she can say,"Wrote it, read it, and won't comment more on it. Now watch me as I cut these liberal bitches like moose meat."

 

I voted for her once, and damnit I'll do it again.

144 I think Cheney did it BEFORE that, too, but because he was Cheney, and he was always among the most trusted of Bush family advisors, except maybe James Baker, and Baker was daddy's guy, not W's.

Bear in mind that Cheney was an eminence grise in Washington for a long time before W. even made the scene there. He was SecDef during Bush Senior's term, and before that was a Representative for Wyoming.* And before that, he filled various positions in Washington, including being Donald Rumsfeld's #2 back in the 1970's.

Cheney knew everyone and participated in everything in D.C. from about 1972 onwards. It surprised me that Bush the Younger headed the ticket in 2000, because I honestly thought Cheney made a better case for heading the ticket. But then Cheney has never been much of an attention-seeker; he prefers to act behind the scenes. (Which is partly what fostered his "Prince of Darkness" persona, I guess.)

*Disclaimer: I myself am a Wyoming homeboy, and my family knew the Cheney family slightly. I have a certificate signed by the Dark Lord himself for participating in the Wyoming Boy's State Convention in Douglas, WY in 1985.

>>that she's whining about it now

That seems to be the standard lefty/feminist criticism about her. Palin is "whining" to the press about her treatment by the McCain campain. She "whined" about David Letterman telling rape jokes about her 14 year old daughter. Feminists think Palin is a whiner. They are so wrong. I guess everyone who writes a book is a whiner now, huh?

Posted by: Adrienne at November 13, 2009 04:33 PM (F1JEL)

154 I once said that parents need to have their daughters be involved in more team and leader-follower activities: team sports, girl scouts, etc.  The idea that Palin should have overruled McCain supports that idea.  Too many women don't understand leader-follower relationships, don't get that they aren't demeaning in the least and don't realize that the set up gets the job done more efficiently than asserting one's "womanhood" every five seconds.

Being in the military helped me greatly in this respect, but I saw plenty of women who didn't catch on as quickly as I did get slapped down and kicked out, whining about their rights on the way out the door.

You dont have to vote for her. You can like any canidate more then her you like. But if you don't defend her, then your as phony as Obama, Pelosi, and Reid, and the LIARS in the MSM.

The NEO MARXISTS are counting on us to ditch Palin since we think it is too much work to defend her. That is why they have targetted her, not Romney or Huckabee. Well, if you wanna hand power to the Neo Marxists, be my guest.

I knew it wasn't going to end well, and it didn't take a psychic to see that coming.

Do you think Keith Olbermann would give a fair interview to George Bush? Or David Gregory would be the fairest interviewer for, say, Fred Thompson?

Katie Couric is a female liberal at a left-wing network. She has a record, as documented over years by the Media Research Center, of left-wing bias in her reporting and commentary.

And someone thought her interviewing a conservative, pro-life female on the Republican ticket would be just fine and dandy?

168 What baldilocks said reminds me of an observation one of my history professors enlightened us to one day. He said to watch a pack of girls and a pack of boys. The girls always walk side by side in a line. Boys will walk behind whoever is the alpha, like a pack. That points out to me a fundamental difference in the way men and women act and think. Politics is dominated by men, has been for centuries, and so the way it works will follow the way men think and act.

So Althouse is off the mark here. McCain was the alpha here and so everyone followed what he said. End of story.

Oh, I don't know that I'd say that, Baldilocks. I think many women understand the leader-follower dynamic just fine in most situations. (Probably better than men do.) It's just that a certain kind of militant feminism took hold in the 1960's that preached absolutist thinking. That being subordinate meant being weak, the concept of sexual enslavement, all that crap. All it did was ruin a lot of marriages that might have survived otherwise and fuck up a whole generation of kids, as far as I can tell.

Men went through a similar but smaller-scale re-education camp back in the 1980's with that whole James Bly "fire in the belly" nonsense.

Of course, had she said no, these same anonymous people would say she was chicken. But we know now that Schmidt had decided to give up the campaign by the end of December, after the fall of Lehman, and she got in the way. That didn't stop the Obama campaign from firing all barrels at anyone still standing. Biden is a blithering idiot, not just in the malaprop department, but in nearly forty years in the Senate. Now sometime after that she was the campaign, but she didn't have the resources commensurate with it, because it was like the 1919 BlackSox throwing the game

Surprisingly, yes. Admittedly not as much as I've gotten from women on the left. But I've gotten some of my nastier comments about it from women who are pretty solidly conservative on the issues but consider themselves "feminists". For example, I went to a friend's wedding recently. Hubby and I were put at a table with other couples, all of whom were big business muckety-mucks. Politics came up and we were all on the same page. I was getting along quite swimmingly with the ladies until one of them asked me what company I worked for. When I told them I was a stay-at-home-mom, the whole table literally went totally silent and just stared at me the first few minutes. You would have thought I told them I ate babies for a living.

When the silence was finally broken, one of the ladies asked me how I could stand being so dependent upon "some man" to take care of me. Another asked me how I dealt with being so bored all the time and didn't I feel bad for being unproductive. Another made a comment about how demeaning it was to be a professional babysitter. I answered their questions as politely as I could, but was pretty much shunned the rest of the evening. It was all very insulting.

The other point I think Althouse missed was that this a retro-spective book.  Let's assume that all her other points were right- that Palin should have been more assertive or whatever- the only thing that would prove is that at that time she wasn't up to the job of Vice President, not that she isn't now.

Which would be better, to have left this out and potentially provide amunition for the McCain dweebs and/or the MSM to blast her for leaving out potentially embarssing information, or to go ahead and get this out there as a mater-of-fact statement about what went on at that time?

196 Althouse flatly states that she'd vote for Obambi again, given what she knows now.

Ah, a "true believer" (Hoffer wrote a whole book about that type of person).  Those types are blind to Obama's NPD and what it means for the faithful.  She still thinks Obama gives a shit and all that campaign oratory means something.

People with NPD would literally throw their own grandmothers under the bus if it meant more adulation for them.

The fall to earth for Althouse is going to be particularly hard.

>>that she's whining about it now

That seems to be the standard lefty/feminist criticism about her. Palin is "whining" to the press about her treatment by the McCain campain. She "whined" about David Letterman telling rape jokes about her 14 year old daughter. Feminists think Palin is a whiner. They are so wrong. I guess everyone who writes a book is a whiner now, huh?

 

If anyone thinks that this Althouse piece is whiny, just wait until the book actually comes out.  We'll be seeing all the little leftist/statist/faux conservative penises poke out of their wrinkled little foreskins and start whining and gaffawing at Sarah.  And Sarah?  She'll just laugh.  She knows this book will show who the conservatives are and who are the conservative posers.  This is going to be fun.

Hubby was with the men at the time. The people who got married are some really good friends, so we didn't want to make a big stink over ignorant crap. We just left a bit early. And like I said, I get that crap all the time from women on both sides of the aisle, so while it's still pretty insulting, I've learned to just let it roll off me. I'm extremely happy with my life and most of the women who've been nasty to me about it are completely miserable people. I take a lot of solace in that.

Only if you're completely ignorant.

Not necessarily, ahm there, lil' goyl.

A feminist 'fights' for special rights and is always a self-perceived victim. Being a feminist is akin to belonging to a union insofar they adhere to the collectivist mindset and use their power-in-numbers to advance their agenda.

A conservative is an individualist and believes everything she needs is right there in the Constitution, and it's up to her to pursue her happiness, not the govt's obligation to make her happy.

>> Women hate one another

Heh.  I don't exactly agree, but I think it is true to an extent.  Or at least it is more true to say "women hate one another" than it is to say that "men hate one another". 

I think this has biological/animal roots to it actually; reproductive instincts.  Since once women start along the road of reproduction, they have to wait 9 months for pregnancy, the competition for choosing a mate is much tougher.  In other words, in the short term, women can really only have 1 mate.  Men can have a new one every few hours.  So women are actually more competitive towards choosing a mate than men, because their selection is so much more critical.  They only get one shot (well, once every year or so, but you know what I mean).

I think this is at the core of why many (or most) women dress up not for men to see, but rather for women to see.  It is the competitive aspect of it all.  It is also why you hear so many awkward "compliments" from one woman to another about her hair or her dress... she is trying to be nice despite the fact that she is actually a little annoyed at how good the other woman looks.

Of course, being a human being boils down to much more than just biological urges, so take everything I am saying with a grain of salt.  I definitely don't think that this sums up a woman's existence... I am just saying that I think it is a contributing factor to a woman's personality.

#94 - I don't think Palin should have acted against advice or goals of McCain's campaign. I think she should have been less gullible, and less willing to blame others for that gullibility now.

Why do you continue to maintain that the "gullibility" was strictly on Palin's part? Don't you remember how McCain was the media's darling go-to maverick? He was under the delusion that the media would treat him the same through the campaign until it became clear that they had a new BFF in HopenChange. Notice how since he lost, he's back to being the Go-To Maverick for the media. The guy was delusional to think that all his media buddies would hang with him, so I don't find it surprising they would press to have Palin interviewed by his former BFFs regardless if she objected strongly or not.

242 I like these long thoughtful post in the afternoon Ace.

Here is where feminism goes off the track.  Women and Men are different.  There are no two ways about it.  Women approach things from a different perspective and vice a versa.  This is what makes having women and men on a team at work optimum.  I always felt that Sarah Palin realized she is a woman and that she likes and accepts herself.  I think she respects everyone else and assumes they are going to respect her back.  I don't think she is one of those women who thinks you only get your way by turning into a virago.  I think she is the type who gets her way with facts and a good argument. Ironically I think she and Michelle Obama are a lot alike in that respect.  Both have gone past the stereotypes of what a "feminist" actually is because for their age group...feminism as it once was, doesn't exist, it doesn't need to exist.  Hillary is still is stuck in that old mentality, the old feminism, the army so to speak and she actually manifests it by wearing nothing but those pant suits!   This is why I think BiO is just terrified of Sarah Palin, cause he lives with that kind of woman and he knows how formidable they can be...simply by quietly and clamly discussing.  I bet Althouse is old, the old guard of feminism, the Hilalry crowd.  so of course she has missed the fact that the generations that followed took from feminism what they saw working and discarded the rest, the rest being mostly the nasty, militant, anti men vibe.  Always feel sorry for those feminists, they still can't see the forest for the trees and it will always impact all of their personal relationships.  Ironically these are the ones who have trouble with their sons, they are men after all.  And then they are suprised when their sons bring home these intelligent feminine women who are their own person and have their son cooking, cleaning and taking care of small children.  They never quite recognize the "new world" they hoped to launch.

248 So many times I've dreamed of saying to them, "What the hell were you thinking having kids if you were just gonna drop them off at daycare and go off to work?"

I always wondered about that, too. Upper middle class to rich people seem to have kids because they're accessories. I know lots of women who popped out a kid or two then immediately went back to work, dumping their kids, as young as 18 months at day care. What's the point of having kids if you're not going to stay home with them? And I understand that some people are not financially able to do that --that's a different story. But to those who are, I don't get it.

My mom quit her job to raise me and planned to go back after I was old enough, say around age 10. Instead she had another kid and remained a stay at home mom. Now she volunteers full time at my old elementary school and has been since I used to go there. So she found a fulfilling life without having a career.

My advice is to do it if you can afford it. Best decision I ever made. It's not easy (if you're doing it right anyway). You'd be surprised how much there is to do between trying to keep your house in order and keep your children from killing themselves or someone else, or breaking something, etc. But it's all worth it at the end of the day. And honestly, even though there's a lot of things to do, I'm still less stressed than I was when I was working. At least my toddler has an excuse as to why he acts the way he does. When you're working with adults and they behave like toddlers, it's infinitely more frustrating!

259

Palin was obligated to follow McCain's lead not merely out of hierarchy, but because he had earned the presidential nomination and then given her the vice-presidential nomination. She owed him loyalty and deference, even when he was foolish and stupid.   

The defining stupidity of McCain and his staff was their belief that the Media loved them for themselves. They never recognized what was obvious to the rest of us: the Media loved McCain when he expressed hatred for Republicans.

He foolishly trusted the Media as honest brokers and let them set the rules of engagement, which always favored his opponent. McCain and the nincompoops around him even internalized the Media's hatred for Palin - who, if used effectively, offered his only remote chance at victory. 

As for the propriety of writing a tell-all book, it was made necessary by the rumor-mongering and anonymous character assassination that emanated from the McCainiacs as well as the Media. Conservatives have often complained about Bush's unwilingness to defend himself. It's good to see that Sarah Palin is different.

kind of like the biological urge guys have to fart and then laugh?

Curious though, I have seen any number of rude, disparaging comments on this site by men about the way other men look, especially men they disagree with. Why is this not evidence of men hating other men? I think the main difference is that men, even if it really pisses them off at the time, generally forget about it and move on. You all know you're stud-muffins, and rightfully so. Women, generally, internalize these things. Examine them over and over. Keep pulling off that scab. My 17 year old daughter is one of the most beautiful women in the world (no, I won't send photos). She has had to deal with adult men asking her out since she was 14. She focuses on the fact that she believes she has funny hips and works to camouflage their hideousness. I never used to believe the Michelle Pfieffers and Angelina Jolies who said they thought they were funny looking (I was no teenage knockout - 6 feet tall and weighing 115lbs, including my glasses, so I thought these women were full of shit) but because of my experiences with my daughter, I believe them now.

Yes, I remember it well.


However true it might be that Palin was a fool to get mixed up with the likes of Mc., it's not a big selling point for her now to say how she bought into any such delusion, is it? It's one thing to go with the interviews her "Boss" wants her to; it's another to buy into fantasy that Couric will be not only fair but sympathetic on Wallace's say-so.

You really think that's what being treated equally under the law is about?

You already all your equal rights. You, assuming you're a woman, have the exact same rights as I, a dood, do.

This is where we fundamentally disagree and you prove that you know nothing about conservatism. THE 'LAW' IS NOT TREATING YOU UNFAIRLY, PEOPLE ARE.

If you think you're getting the shaft, take your case to court. We don't need to add laws so life is easier for *you*. We have enough laws. We have more than enugh laws. We have too many laws. Too many regulations.

That's what conservatism is (partly) about. Limiting the power of positive laws imposed on the people. Conservatives want govt to be limited in power and limited in how they can affect people's lives. You want govt to dictate, whereas conservatives want to keep a lid on govt's reach.

297 Althouse actively tries to be obnoxious sometimes.

She's not very smart about how she defends herself... often she rushes to judgment and gets huffy if called on her errors.

Her comment sections are sometimes pretty good to read, but lately not so much.  Her husband, Meade, the commenter on her site, is particularly corny and sycophantic. 

She's deliberately obtuse about politics, not because of her true views... she doesn't seem to want to communicate anything she actually believes.  She's just very compulsive about poking, and yet also very sensitive to that same behavior directed towards her.

She is an affirmative action hire, and she is tenured, and it's clear she's trying to prove something... some kind of intellectual gadfly thing.  Only she doesn't have the chops to back it up.  A lot of people just 'know' that Palin is an idiot.  So she set out to prove it by citing a book that Althouse has not actually even read.  That's bad scholarship, obnoxious, and frankly, quite ugly.

I've seen men get into knife-fights in a parking lot and then buy each other a beer about a half-hour later. Men don't hold grudges in the way women do. It's rarely personal with men. Women will hold a grudge for fucking years; they'll take insults and personal slights to the grave.

My wife is fairly conservative and has no time for Palin. She dismissed her from the git-go as a pander to women in response to the black candidate. I'd be surprised if that weren't pretty common.

After that, there was little opportunity for Palin to rehabilitate herself in the face of the media slant. It's like, "If it's going to be a woman, why that woman?" Never remembering the implied insult that a woman was selected in the first place.

"Chalk" is a paratrooping term, meaning a specific group of soldiers who're about to eject themselves out of an airplane.  "Chalk left" would mean, I guess, "That group of viking warriors jumping out the left side of the aircraft," to be distinguished from "Chalk Right," which would be those leaping out the right-side door.  It's not typically used as a directional thing, I think, but rather as a numbering device (i.e., "Chalk 1" is that bunch of guys over there, and "Chalk 2" is that other group of dudes, over here), but can be used directionally, under the right circumstances.

Cindy @ 278:

I typed that post up, then hesitated about actually hitting "post" because I thought it might be easily misinterpreted.  It does read as being a little provocative, but that was not my intent. 

Again, I am not saying that women are entirely defined by this instinct.  It is just that it is a primal instinct that subtly plays a role in behavior.  Your mention of a woman's preoccupation with her looks is another good example of the point I am trying to make.  Men don't typically have this preoccupation (to the same extent that women do) because the same level of competition just isn't there.

And, by the way, men have their own biological urges too (obviously).  Men are constantly attracted to women.  Constantly.  But I don't think this defines men.  For example, a good husband is true to his wife, but it doesn't mean he does not take notice when an attractive woman walks by.  So I'm not just trying to make blanket statements about women.

343 She basically says "Couric and Wallace tricked me", doesn't she?

Couric claims to be a "journalist". She claims to be an impartial witness to events, not a partisan actor.

How is it a fault of Palin's that Couric lies? How is a failing on Palin's part that Wallace assured her Couric would treat her fairly? Wallace was an adviser assigned to her by the campaign; had Palin instead haired off and refused to trust the campaign's advisers, wouldn't that have been a bigger failing than trusting someone she was told was trustworthy?

I used to work in an office full of women lawyers. Your wife is correct.

 

I'm the only man in a department full of women.  That's why I volunteered to work nights, by myself.  Otherwise, I have to put up with "hell's fury" or the "Tower of Bahbbel".

I just don't think we can make a judgment from 2 pages of an unreleased book ... as Sarah told us herself: Keep your powder dry. Read the whole thing.Enjoy it.

Anyone who didn't think Katie Couric had an agenda wouldn't vote for Sarah anyway.

She badgered Sarah about a freaking flyer circulated at her church  urging people to pray for gays. She didn't badger Joe Biden or Barack Obama about their opposition to gay marriage.

She badgered Sarah about her not having a passport prior to 2007 but didn't ask Obama if he ever traveled on an Indonesian passport.

She badgered Sarah about Supreme Court decisions besides Roe v. Wade that she disagreed with but gave Biden a pass on his strange recollection of FDR's presidency.

Katie Couric should have had one hour with Sarah, no more. Instead the inept McCain camp sent Sarah back for for 4-5 more segments. Idiots.

Six hours with Katie Couric, I guaragee you'd be sounding like a babbling idiot, too. Sarah is just setting the record straight.

369 "How do you know she is an affirmative action hire? 
Posted by: Y-not"

It's not possible to prove that there are any affirmative action hires, practically anywhere, with any specificity.  It's kept very vague and secret.

Althouse's credentials are on her vita.  What she had upon hire are not even close to a white male's credentials from the same era.  She was hired when women hires were a major objective of affirmative action.

Is that proof?  To be honest, I think it is, but I understand if you aren't satisfied.  She's not a bad blogger, but she can be obnoxious at times, and often it's at times that kinda hint that she's insecure about her merit as a woman and thinker.  That I absolutely can't prove.

The campaign aides were clearly so stuck in the box of conventional politics that they had no idea what to do with this game-changing VP selection.

Those of us fighting the battle of the chat rooms kept waiting for her to be "unveiled" to the media, making excuses for why the McCain camp kept her in lockdown for 3 weeks...or whatever it was.

It was obvious that the insiders were trying to revamp her...study her up...basically trying pull the wool over peoples eyes, when none of that was necessary. And it gave the opposition (the media) the time to catch its breath and devise a counter strategy.

I remember hoping at the time that her first interview would be the week following the convention, live, with Stepanopolis. No canned interviews, no undue preparation. Just getting to know the running mate from the north woods before the professional pols tried to make a clay model out of her.

The public would have understood if she wasn't rote on every single issue...neither are the press. And we wouldn't have lost so much momentum.

It's the typical double standard.  Nobody argued (or argues) that Joe Biden had to make "us think he has what it takes to be President of the United States."  (In fact, does any sentient being in the United States believe he does?)  But, then, he wasn't running for President of the United States.  Oh, wait, neither was Palin.  But since she's a woman I guess Althouse holds her to a higher standard?

I don't think she is in the tent.  Or ever was.  In fact, I think she makes a point of ensuring that she isn't in the tent.  I have no idea why, because she's often expressed opinions and values that are simply incompatible with the democrats and Obama.  She's just being obnoxious so that she gets as many blogs to link her.  She's totally unserious.

However true it might be that Palin was a fool to get mixed up with the likes of Mc., it's not a big selling point for her now to say how she bought into any such delusion, is it? It's one thing to go with the interviews her "Boss" wants her to; it's another to buy into fantasy that Couric will be not only fair but sympathetic on Wallace's say-so.

I didn't say she was a fool to get mixed up with McC. Let's look at the timeline - she accepts the invite to be VP. What's she supposed to say when afforded the opportunity of a lifetime? Screw you, Mac? She probably had no friggin idea who Wallace was except as a trusted associate of McC. How was she to know Wallace was a backstabbing weasel?

I think that McCain employed moles who were from the BO camp.  And, he gave them the job of dealing with Palin.  when they saw the reaction to Palin and they saw that McCain's campaign might pick up  steam they had to do something so they canned Palin and proceeded to try and dissect her so she wouldn't be herself, wouldn't be who she is.  Poor Palin, had she realized this might have reacted a lot sooner but she didn't.  The turncoat and total failure here is McCain, not Palin.

Did you not see the night where McCain endorsed BO for prez?   McCain is not a republican, even I, an independent, can see that.  McCain is really a dem and not even a conservative dem.  At least his bestest friend, Joe Lieberman had the class to go independent.  Somewhere along the line McCain realized that he didn't want the job and decided to make sure everyone knew, would have been much classier had he warned Sarah Palin about this ahead of time.  Maybe her decisions would have been different.

This is a little off topic...but lindsey gra sham....apparently was critical of the prez and fox reported that he was told to "shut up" until he has a chance to talk to the prez personally.  Was busy doing a lot of stuff so not sure what issue this was about....but seriously???    What will meeting with the president do to change gram sham's mind?

Thanks for the reply.

I think you really risk hurting your credibility with all women, including this woman who was hired into one of the top biophysics faculty groups in the country, when you make those "affirmative action" assertions. 

I am completely opposed to affirmative action, it is nothing more than reverse discrimination given a palatable name, but it exists.  And it hangs around the necks of all of us professional women, qualified or not, like an albatross. 

That's not your problem, of course, and I'm not asking for your tears... but after years of living with that crap, it does make it harder to pay any attention to someone who makes what you admit to be an unprovable assertion.  So I almost wrote you off.  Which is why it is great that you replied. 

Let's face it, hiring -- particularly in the faculty ranks -- is a grossly irrational process.  I know, I've been on those committees.  Academics break every friggin' HR practice in the book when they do a search.  So singling out that a gal's gender helped her -- when so many other factors (having nothing to do with "qualifications") help others -- in an already really flawed process is a little silly. 

I think we both agree on one thing, though.  Althouse's qualifications for a faculty slot at U Wisconsin are infinitely better than Obama's were when the U of C tried to recruit him.

411 There are plenty of women who beat out men who were more qualified because of affirmative action.  A lot of women have gotten very far on little brains and talent, because of affirmative action.  Affirmative Action, per Clarence Thomas, has had its run   At this point jobs and college spots and graduate school spots need to be given based on ability and talent and intellect.  this way we won't hear anyone complaining that they got there with affirmative action but they don't want it "handing around their neck like an albatross".

I am opposed to affirmative action. 

My point was that if you have sat on a faculty search committee and gone through the interview process you'd realize that affirmative action is not the only - or even the major - thing wrong with the process.  It is wrong-headed to focus on that and sloppy to apply it to all women... unless you can prove it (which is hard to do unless you were part of the hiring process).

Affirmative action has caused more damage to minorities and women than it has helped. It has caused untold amounts of damage to white men.  It has allowed those less qualified in over those 'non-minority' men who are more qualified. It has boosted those equally qualified as the above-mentioned men at the expense of these men (How they will fit in and work within the group system is a far more important factor then what sex or color you are). And has demeaned those who are  more qualified than those same men. 

The question always looms; were they hired because of their minority/gender status? Not fair to any of the people involved and is, in my opinion, unequivocably unconstitutional regardless of past history. Causes resentment and balkanization.

I think the reason the dems/libs think they can make a law for everything is because there is such rampant corruption extant in all these processes and they see it.  Problem is the laws just make everything worse.  Would be nice if people were able to have character and honor and would just do the right thing.  Sadly that isn't happening anywhere.  I know academia, the public and private school systems, congress, heck the list is a mile long.  Many of these venues and the way things are conducted would make a mafia don blush. 

Problem with these affirmative action/feminist broads is that they are now in charge of things, important things.  And, they ahven't grown one iota, they are still the same mindless ninnies they were in their twenties.  They don't recognize that the world ahs changed and the "fight" is over, at least for the women who followed them.  Sometimes I think this country is such a mess cause of these affirmative action women.

He will see the crease in Barry's pants personally and become instantly seduced into putting on a blue dress and fetching the cigar box.

422 Y-not,

You're right... I have to admit my anonymity is part of why I'm willing to openly discuss my assertion that Althouse is an AA hire.  It's plain to me in that case, but I realize that a lot of people could have succeeded without AA, and possibly didn't even benefit from it, but are tarnished.

My wife, actually, shares your problem.  You have the right POV on this.  AA is destructive in a lot of insidious ways.  In Althouse's case, though, it's bad because it got someone into an unqualified job that they can't be fired from.  Her behavior whenever race or sex is brought up is over sensitive, and her legal analysis is always very aloof.

Anyway, I think you have a great point, and I hope you didn't misinterpret my comment.  I know a lot of genius women, blacks, etc.  Some of them benefited from AA, but none of them needed it and none of them deserve to be bashed.

Let's go with that one.  "Chalk left" or "Chalk right" in this context just means "you need to turn left" or "you need to turn right".

Don't really know what the derivation of it is, but Google for "Hopping Onto Mr. Hertzberg’s Wild Ride" for an example in print (and the person saying it doesn't even know why they say it instead of "turn").

With that understanding, Dean's comment makes perfect sense.

Althouse is dumb about a LOT of things, and not at all worthy, in my opinion, of the regular link-love that Instapundit lavishes on her (much as his overall level of editorial judgment remains very high). Especially revolting was her assessment that Obama's whitewash of Islam in the wake of the jihad attack on Fort Hood was "good religion."

Obama: "no faith justifies these murderous and craven acts"

Wahabbism is not a faith? Khomeini-ism is not a faith.? Bin Laden does not represent a faith? That is cover up, the same cover up that overlooked Hasan's faith and allowed his jihad to succeed, which Obama was supposedly addressing.

"Good religion."

I haven't read all the comments, so if this has been said, well...tuff shit. 

All Palin did was trust N. Wallace.   Wallace portrayed herself as a friend of Couric's, and led Sarah to believe that doing an interview with her would be good for Sarah & the campaign.   Wallace, also, convinced Palin that it would help Couric.   Why would Sarah believe that Wallace would try to throw her under the bus?   You may believe that it was just being naive on Sarah's part, but you should be able to trust, at least somewhat, the people that are supposed to be trying to help you win.

The real problem with this is that Wallace is a conniving little bitch, as we saw after the campaign when she went out of her way to talk trash about Sarah.  I mean why take the blame for running a POS campaign when you can blame it on Palin?   If you don't do that, then you can't keep putting yourself out there as someone with even half a freakin' brain.  

Wallace, Scmidt & all the others that had a hand in that sorry-ass campaign are the ones to blame, but they will continue to drive that bus right over Sarah.   If they can't marginalize Sarah, it only comes back to bite them in the ass eventually, and you just don't do that to the so-called Beltway insiders.

All of them just pieces of shit.  *spit*

439 Sarah got rolled by the national political-industrial complex during the '08 campaign. Okay, she was new to the scene and she fucked up by trusting the McCain staffers and the lamestream media. However, she's also quit as governor and has gotten into a public pissing contest with her daughter's no good ex-boyfriend. I like the gal, she has moxie, but she's fresh out of screwups. The book tour and subsequent events have to be pretty much on the mark if she's going to participate in national politics.

Besides, if she is going to make millions just being herself then she ought to skip the presidency and have her impact in other ways.

Sarah Palin says, "Hang 'em High."

Any word from Mitt or the Huckster? 

I was really expecting Mitty to take a strong stance like he did on the surge in Iraq.  Mikey, on the other hand,  was probably too busy playing the bass in support of some D-list crooner -  (for the thirty people Fox pays to sit in his studio audience.)

If we're going to ditch the beautiful Mrs. P., perhaps we should consider nominating a guy whose chemical makeup includes traces of testosterone.  Rudy may be a philandering sleazeball, but at least he has a functioning penis and a a pair of dangling man-chimes.  I wish I could say the same for the rest of the limp-dicked wonders the GOP has put forward.

Hey, VekTor:

Perhaps read what I wrote, wherein I said that "Chalk Left" essentially means "look left".  I arrived at that conclusion by knowing the context Dean was using it in, and starting with the definition of "Chalk" that I know from the military.

So, I may be full of shit, but I logic'd it out all by my self without having to Google the incomprehensible name of an obscure play (novel?, script?, who knows?  It doesn't Google to a decent link). 

And, you missed the Sammy Davis EYE joke, which was the whole reason I even wrote about the subject in the first place.

Obviously, the just-fresh-picked VP nominee is going to do the media and events chosen by the head of the ticket.  You don't really get a vote on that.

The big mistake by the McCain/Palin campaign wasn't in granting the MSM interviews with Gibson and Couric - Sarah did well enough in both of them if viewed in toto - but by allowing them to be taped and edited.  In both cases, the editing was done to accentuate Palin weak points and make her look bad.

This habit of the liberal media wasn't something new at all.  Remember that in 1988 then-VP George H.W. Bush granted an interview to Dan Rather on condition it be conducted live on the air, and he made Rather look like a fool.  Any chance those exchanges would have survived editing?

Trust everybody, but always cut the cards.

Ann picks a passage from "Going Rogue: An American Life" that describes the typical relationship between a professional and a client (much like the relationship of a lawyer and client) then proceeds to invoke the "Otter defense" .. You fucked up - you trusted us!

Does Ann treat her clients (or students) this way ?  Are they all "dumb" as well ?

463 I enjoy reading Althouse......frequently don't agree with her.  But let us use the prism through which she wishes us to view Gov. Palin and take a look at Althouse's life.  In the last election she tended to lean towards McCain until her young son told her obama was where it was at!  Young, hip, with it.....go mama!  So she voted for obama.  Next, some divorced man, writing in her  comments section, catches her eye, she communicates with him for a SHORT period of time, flies off to meet him, becomes engaged during that FIRST meeting, SHORTLY thereafter she marries him in a hilltop with some person they picked up in a local village presiding (hope she checked his license).  She has had quite a whirl for herself these last few months and, judging by what I just wrote and how I phrased it, would you take her thoughts seriously?

Posted by: J at November 14, 2009 08:36 AM (T3/qP)

464 I think my number one criticism of Palin, whom I actually like a good deal, is a fools-rush-in quality to her confidence that puts her in hard spots from time to time. Other's may like her sailing into things without overthinking them, but I've always thought it was her achilles heel. That's one reason Althouse's criticism (as I read it) resonates.

That fools-rush-in quality you see in Palin is something I see in Obama more. Since he is aligned ideologically with the media, he can relax around them with the campaign officially over. He is still in campaign mode, because it's all he knows. But even a couple questions about Wright or Ayers was more than he felt comfortable answering. "OK, I've answered like eight questions now. Let me eat my waffles."

Palin is comfortable in her own skin, confident, courteous and has no problem discussing issues with people who may hold different opinions. That is not what the Couric or Gibson interviews were. A little bias is to be expected, but outright hostility? Couric and Gibson were unprofessional. Someone with a journalism degree obviously respects the important role the news media plays in our nation and would expect, at least, journalistic integrity.

Maybe you are cynical enough to think believing our media is truthful, for the most part, is naive and ridiculous. Maybe you think only the harshest interpretation of societal rules apply to Palin only, as Ace said.

But Palin went into an interview three days into the campaign at the McCain campaign's behest trying to do her job and articulate McCain's convoluted message. The questions for the Couric interview were written by Sam Nunn precisely to expose any areas where McCain and Palin might disagree. It was opposition research for the Obama campaign. They were looking for ways Palin's words might be used to discredit McCain and also in a way that Palin could be caricatured as Caribou Barbie, a dumb hood ornament at a trade show for a pathetic, lecherous old man rather than dignified war hero.

Even that might be acceptable to you, though I think it crosses a line beyond bias when you're actually parroting one candidate's attack ads. But then there was the editing and the constant playing of clips that evolved into SNL parodies.

As for fools-rush-in, though, I still don't believe Palin would make the same mistakes Obama made with everything from the beer summit to negotiations with Russia and Iran. Palin has a strong moral code and objectivity that Obama lacks. Obama tends to think of himself first and seeks approval from more dangerous sorts than Couric and Gibson. Search for "breakdancer kicks baby in the face" on YouTube, and you will see what I'm getting at.

Jagex bans thousands of accounts a month due to these cheats. I cannot tell people enough, cheating is NOT the answer. If people would just do the work themselves, then there would be no problem.
