Naomi Wolf on Sarah Palin: 'Evita-Like Qualities,' Colluded in Her Political 'Geisha-ization'

[tnekkc]

Obama is such a bad Pres, anyone one would be better... except Carter.

[jambykool]

Palin can't play by the rules because she doesn't have them written on her hand and also because she does not have the intellectual capacity to interpret the written language of the rules.

[sonico73]

Palin she is there for giving some pussy thats it!

[florestiner12312]

Why can't T Roosevelt come back from the dead and be our president again? We need a real leader, not a politician.

[cqbhoun]

@florestiner12312 Real leadership is a thing of the past. I'm from England and wish I could bring back Churchill.

[235RB]

@florestiner12312 the presient we need back is FDR 

[florestiner12312]

@235RB Im talking about the other Roosevelt

[235RB]

@florestiner12312 I know, and Im saying we need FDR. Who got us through the largest war in history, a depression and was elected 3 times. Also iniated, S.S, Medicare and tons of other social programs that historians regard as some of the best policies ever created. 

[florestiner12312]

@235RB I know he had a very hard job, but T Roosevelt had better vision for us. Like building the panama canal and acquiring territory in the pacific.

[235RB]

@florestiner12312 I dont know if he was better, historians would disagree. FDR was in for three terms, whats that say? Got us through a depression, and a world war.

Whats up with all these retarded new trends of conservative feminism or conservative gays? These new oxymoron only adds more words to the dictionary, but do they make sense? Reminds me of oppressed Taliban women being in the forefront of going against western values; oppressed Taliban women who will do anything and everything to keep their tradition alive. I think conservative feminists, conservative gays and oppressed Taliban women all suffer from something similar to Stockholm syndrome!

[praetorian2150]

I promise you people, if palin gets in office and gets a cheney type vice or vice versa , were screwed again for 10 years we gotta watch this. WE CANNOT PULL A BUSH SITUATION AGAIN

[BettiePie]

I read Sarah Palin's "Going Rogue" book. I came out of the book liking her, but not loving her. If Sarah Palin runs for presidency in the future, I honestly don't think she could win because her plans for America would only benefit a small minority of America. Other than that, I still think people should read her book.

[mantaray225]

Poor Naomi--she always gets "We're out of time"-ed.

[ThomasPain1]

Naomi Wolf 3011 hits, dont think she is to popular .

[sansulott]

Well the election ended this story, now how do we get these 2 MORONS to quit the Media?

[CmdrTobs]

I thought Naomi Wolf had a brain before this.

[Ebdan88]

I LOVE NAOMI.................THE MOST HUNEST WOMAN I HAVE SEEN ON THE NET EVER.....NAOMI IS THE BEST....

[bunbun5877]

Palin is such a strong conservative woman and she will certainly go down in history. She would be a great preseident.

[superiormentality]

@bunbun5877 Palin is so Retarded its amazing how Far shes come. if she really wants to make it she should just shut up,smile and not speak when being asked questions in interviews.she is just great at digging her own grave with every word & her book is in my house right now, its a steaming pile of crap that is heating my living room.

[503mindst]

Sarah Palin is a horrifying person to imagine in the white house.

[OfAllOblivion]

Every video I see that has anything to do with Sarah Palin is just fuckin' hilarious. The fact that some people actually take her seriously just shows how fucked we are. She's like the female Bush.

[badad4444]

Sarah Palin could never be effective because she lacks the basic intelligence, curiosity, and competence to be effective.

[samsterii]

Glad to hear she is on the trail again. I will look for the newer material. Thanks!

[ljpmooney]

Samsterii, I won't hold thas last piece against you, since it was released just after your post, however, look into Wolfs stance/argument and try to put together a new argument for yourself before calling her confusing Maybe then after actually using your intelligence you wont be so easy to bash a true patriot.

[samsterii]

Naomi Wolf is one confusing woman. She screamed about Bush trying to inflict tyranny on the USA, and is now silence about Obamo seizing control of healthcare, banks, insurance, and still is supporting the Patriot act, 2 wars, and Wall Street. What changed? Liberal or lost?

[ljpmooney]

Samsterii, apparently you missed Wolf's most recent essay "Tea Time in America" that applauds the tea party movement for questioning Obama and big government...Or in her recent interview with Justine Sharrock were she challenges the current administration "Bush legalized torture, but Obama is legalizing impunity. He promised to roll stuff back, but he is institutionalizing these things forever. It is terrifying and the left doesnt seem to recognize it.

[emlodik]

If she becomes the president, our lives will turn into an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical. YAY!!!!

[KrazeeKoolaid]

So, if you're not filthy rich, highly educated or born into politics, you can't be a leader? Why aren't more politicians in favor of improving American lives, so far it's all about how they can insure their own wealth and their own careers in the coming years ahead. I believe that is what this whole health care issue is all about. Why not allow working Americans to earn a decent living wage so we can afford more than just paying our monthly living & work expenses. Slavery at it's finest.

[nsdtr01]

Palin quit one elected office, does anyone want to give a chance to do it again?

[KrazeeKoolaid]

She stepped down because of all of the ethics complaints filed against her. Which was interfering with her ability to effectively govern Alaska since she was having to defend herself against all these frivolous charges with the aide of an attorney to the sum of nearly $500,000. So who's really to blame for trying to destroy Alaska's governor? I believe they were people from Obama's administration, in one form or another, from what I can figure. I haven't read her book yet, it may tell more.

[HaarlemmerHewe]

of course disney could beat him

[somercet1]

I'm gobsmacked to hear Naomi Wolf applaud a conservative feminist (I.e., not neo-Marxist), but her comments about geisha-ization are, of course, ridiculous: the VP candidate is not supposed to buck the Presidential candidate. I think Palin bucked McCain enough on the trail as it is: for her to be a truly free agent, she would have to run for the top office herself.

[Kerkopes]

Sarah Palin has 0% chance of beating Obama [or anyone else for that matter] in 2012

[snorp73]

He is now in the 40% approvals down 20-30 from 2 months. Mickey Mouse could beat him in 2012.

[mackyBOUM]

bush was in the 63% approvals down after his first time and guess what he was elected for a second time
