@nogrits4me The hockey mom hasn't learned the lines you'd like to hear. She won't go scrambling over the backs of the queers to be accepted... By making donations just large enough... To some AIDS charity... She won't be president of your wonderful society of Log Cabin Republicans even if you asked her to be... AS YOU SHOULD HAVE ASKED HER TO BE...
I read a biography about Evita a few years back. It said that Evita was considered to be the Rainbow Bridge connecting Argentina to Europe. In Sarah Palin's case, she's a Rainbow Bridge to Nowhere.
I wasn't actually afraid of this song until I saw this video. This is absolutely brilliant. I really, really wanted to laugh... until I saw how everything fit. God, this is scary. This should be shown everywhere. Can I put it on Facebook? :)
She's a good mother, she's probably a very nice person .... but she wouldn't be a good leader ... If she has to deal with people like putin and medvedev , just a few examples , ... she would be robbed blind without knowing what hit her
This is an odd comparison. I suppose I can see where it's coming from, however I oddly am in love with Eva Peron, yet loathe Sara Palin. At least Eva was strikingly clever and had something going on in her noggin. Unfortunately the same cannot be said about Ms. Palin.
Every day I am grateful that uneducated-faux-politician- come-media whore wasn't elected. She doesn't represent conservatism or a "maverick". She represents someone who knows nothing about national or global politics that happened to be in the right place at the right time. She is an embarrassment to intelligent women across the nation.
I'm a democrat, small 'D', and lemme tell ya Sarah Palin ain't going anywhere. Like Evita she strikes a 'chord' with her base. Again, like Evita, a 'beauty Queen', knows how manipulate opinion and votes...
I'm soooo jealous! I had this IDEA last night at a West Village Gay bar when the piano player played this song! DAMN YOU! Ya beat me to it!
I find her evil and fascinating at the same time! Your edit was the best on YouTube! Only in America can one go from a nobody to World Famous overnight! Whew! Glad 2008 is almost over! Will she disappear?
No, she was his sister in faith. A skank, a prostitue who distributed food for the poor alright while lavishing herself with the best diamonds money can buy!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You're one to talk. I guess they aren't that diffent from Massachusetts voters who keep voting in Ted Kennedy despite the fact that he got away with murdering his girlfriend. Bill Clinton bombed Serbia for no reason and killed hundreds of innocent civilians. Janet Reno got away with murder at Waco and Ruby Ridge. All Ted Stevens had against him was seven accounts of false statements. For a politition thats really not bad.
i am an Alaskan 35 years and i must know the entire 10% that do not support Palin, I can't find anyone aside from the sign wavers on the main drag who are happy about her. So have never been sure where the approval ratings come from
close, it is 80%. but nice try. i dont know which says more about alaska, her approval rating or that they have returned a convicted felon to the senate. i am starting to agree with her husband that we ought to kick alaska(and texas) out of the US. just think not only would the median IQ rise by about 15 points but the rape and incest rates per capita would drop like a rock.
Sarah will lead McCain to a quick defeat! McCain should've gotten someone competent for VP! He clearly let his campain flunkies make this decision for him. Oh yeah, "the women will be upset that Hillary didn't make it". Shows how out of touch they are with women. What John, Ron Paul wasn't available? Joe Lieberman wasn't available? That guy from Law and Order wasn't available?
Though I wont lie and say Palin did nothing. His campaign was headed for disaster (thank god), but once she came around it revamped his energy. At one point you couldnt go anywhere without seeing her pic. Even after shes gone she still gets publicity, good or bad her names still spoken
Haha, this is pretty funny. At times you can really imagine her saying some of those things... The difference is that Evita was far more fascinating than Sarah Palin could ever be. Palin really *is* a "second-rate queen getting kicks with a crown." Or at least a queen wannabe!
Elegant, accomplished, decent, upright, industrious woman. But, a conservative, and so the Left hates her. We should be so blessed to have this woman in leadership as VP.
Oilhammer - how about scheming, snide and petty. I am a Republican and I'm also what I suppose Palin would describe as a community organizer (ie., I help provide elderly "Main Street" type people with the means to protect themselves against scams and rip-offs. I deeply resent Palin's snide remarks re., community organizers and would have voted for McCain before he chose her to sit a "heart beat" away from the Presidency. Listen to Theo. Buckley and George Will, conservatives who speak the truth.
Well, she is tough. I don't think Palin would condemn what you do, but Obama hasn't done anything of value and even worse, he is associated with people who want to foment racism. It is too bad that some, so called, conservatives are blind to what Obama really is, a Marxist. I don't listen to phony conservatives.
Obama's not a Marxist, but Sarah is a communist. She has "spread the wealth" for the people of Alaska, saying that the people own Alaska's resources "collectively." And her husband is a secessionist who beloned to a political party that advocated Alaska's indpendence from the United States.
She doesn't say she's elegant, she says she's Joe 6-pack. She's definately accomplished politically, just not intellectually. And how decent and upright can she be if she bilked her own state out of per diem money to stay in her own house, fly her kids to events they weren't invited to, and was found to have violated ethics law?
The left should be blessed to have this woman run for president in the future. She would be slaughtered. The left LOVES her.
She's more accomplished than you are. She's been a small town council member, a small town mayor, and a small population state governer. Those are the facts, and they're very Alaska-specific.
As far as anything she's done in her life being sufficient for the role of VP or anything at all in the lower 48, or in federal government, ABSOLUTELY NOT.
I wouldn't trust her to manage a Mcdonald's in Los Angeles.
now the McCain-Bush/palin is the McCaous-Blop/evia ticket LOL Their staff is fighting amoung themselves. Sarah told the news papers it was unconstitutional for them to critize her -- does she make up this stuff as she goes?
Sarah Palin will never achieve the status of Eva Perón. The Argentine to this day revere Evita in the highest regards. She gave her life to helping the poor, the shirtless ones, and so many more by creating the Eva Perón Foundation which built hospitals, schools, and even Evita City that stands to this day. Evita was a graceful woman & responsible for women being able to vote. Palin PALES in comparison to Eva Perón. Eva was the official Spiritual Leader of Argentina. Palin is embarrassing.
I suppose I'm not the only person who sees the eerie similarities between Eva Peron and Sarah Palin. So much show business, so little substance; men using them to shore up their power; a populace that either hated them or loved them. God forbid Palin wins... if she does you'll have to make a new video and call it "A New Argentina".
palin isn't running for president jackass, she won't be the one winning, mccain will, and don't say she might as well be because mccain is going to die because I've heard it and its bullshit.
Dudeman, I know Palin is not running for President. You're the jackass because if you knew a bit of history you would know I was referring to the similarities between Palin and Eva Peron, who was nominated for Vice President of Argentina. Both women are "stars" with no substance beyond canned rhetoric, and both whipped up an uneducated populace with blind nationalism. Both are used by men in power to counter their own unpopularity. Ultimately Peron didn't become VP and neither will Palin.
Eva Peron actually worked 20-hour days in her foundation. The Eva Peron Foundation, for the first time in Argentine history, saw to it that there was no inequality in health care. Eva Peron also organized the first truly powerful female political party in Argentina. Eva Peron had so much substance that more than 50 years after her death people in the US are still talking about her
You're absolutely right... she was a tireless champion for the poor, and the poor made her a saint for her efforts. However, the money used for her charities was gathered through extortion. She herself probably didn't know about it but her husband's political machine made it clear that those who didn't give to the Foundation Eva Peron would suffer consequences. But politically, she was used to used by Peron to control the masses. She herself was never a politician nor should she have been.
I've read that after Juan Peron was overthrown a committee was set up to hear complaints of extortion from the Eva Peron Foundation. Only one case was presented, and it was dropped -- and this by people who opposed the Eva Peron Foundation and Peronism entirely. Tomas Eloy Martinez, head of the Latin American program at Reutgers, says that Eva Peron did NOT steal money from her foundation and was NOT a modern day Robin Hood.
Well, women got the right to vote while Evita was First Lady... Juan Peron recognized using Evita to harness the women's vote would help the Peronist party. Once the women AND the labor force were in the Peronist camp there was no stopping Juan Peron from gaining massive power. And with massive power came the massive abuses. I truly believe Evita herself was just Juan Peron's pawn, not the other way around, as the musical "Evita" would have history believe.
I agree. She never questioned him and demanded unwavering loyalty to him. But he didn't last long without her, so she must have done something in her own right.
sorry I'm not up to date on my south american history. but I find it remarkable how much it sounds like your describing obama in the last two or three sentences. and for the record, I don't particularly like her either, though I agree with her on many points, I think she is too inexperienced to be president and it is unfortunate she will be one heartbeat away, but I still think she is more qualified than obama and he is a surefire hit to be president if his ticket wins, she will not be.
ehh. I don't know if it was the amp or the camera, but my tone was in the pooper. now its worse though because my tele sounds like a cardboard box with a hole and rubber band strings and I don't know why. unfortunatly, I am too conservative with the money I have worked for to blow a large portion on an american strat perhaps. its a curse and a blessing I suppose.
Still, it sounded great. I don't much care for your politics BUT I appreciate good musicianship. See, even people with differences can appreciate the things they have in common. Keep playing Dudeman :-)
Palin will soon be back in Alaska and America will forget all about her......but beware the republicans will be training her up so 4 years from now she will be able to speak without looking like a total twat..... which will be enough for republicans who will vote for the thick bitch in huge numbers.....god help america 4 years from now!!!
Worry not. In 4 years Barack and Joe will have our great country humming along so smoothly Sarah and Ted Stevens will be the only Republicans left. And Stevens is now a convicted felon so he cant vote!
god help america in the next four if Obama is to win. three new supreme court judges that will legislate obama's far leftist policies, 25% cut in national defense when there are still terrorist that hate us and wish for our downfall, raising taxes in a near recession, handouts for those who will not help themselves, at the expense of those who will, foreign conflicts will be dealt with by talking and "taking away their allowence/trade/economic strangulation. I don't know what will become of us?
The line "so Christian Dior me" is particularly apt in light of the $150,000 expenditure on wardrobe and the layout for a travelling stylist that's larger than what the foreign policy analyst was paid.
That's probably because Michelle is out campaigning on her own for her husband.
Because she is a good public speaker. Unlike Todd who just has a high school degree, Michelle majored in Sociology from Princeton, and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts, cum laude, as well as a doctorate degree from Harvard Law.
Just answering the "interesting" question you posed.
todd is also a liberal democrat, seems true to the stereotype. uneducated, anti-american, typical liberal. but nonetheless whats wrong with someone who only graduated high-school? thats a large percentage of america, you know, the voters, the working class, the backbone, the drivers of the American economy. how dare you undermine that.
Honestly sir, I think you have lost your argument. I myself only have a high school diploma, and have taken a few college courses. I am not saying anything about "undermining" that, and how dare you insinuate something so radical that I did not say. All I did was reply to somebody's suggestion that Todd and Cindy are always at their spouses rallies and Michelle is not- because she doesn't support her husband. She is a highly educated woman and a good public speaker who campaigns for her husband.
Palin's unabashed and even eager attacks on Obama as a friend to terrorists who have tried to kill Americans qualifies her as a truly wicked if not downright evil person. McCain's failure to repudicate all such smears and his de facto encouragement of them and the violent fringe they encourage make him at least an accomplice and mostly probably a principal to these represhensible incitements.
Cindy needs to absorb some of the spotlight because John McCain is seriously lacking in character, and the republican party needs to satisfy the lonely housewife constituency.
Cindy scares the life out of me! You know how there are some people born to lead, then there are others that are born to WANT to lead.. Cindy is the later, and hopefully this will be the last we have to see of her on the national stage (she's actually scarier than Palin, but not by much).
Very unfunny and quite unoriginal.

I don't know if it was the amp or the camera, but my tone was in the pooper. now its worse though because my tele sounds like a cardboard box with a hole and rubber band strings and I don't know why. unfortunatly, I am too conservative with the money I have worked for to blow a large portion on an american strat perhaps. its a curse and a blessing I suppose.

Still, it sounded great. I don't much care for your politics BUT I appreciate good musicianship. See, even people with differences can appreciate the things they have in common. Keep playing Dudeman :-)

Well Done! My favorite singer and least favorite politician in the same video. It's kind of like taking a shower in sweet and sour sauce!

Palin will soon be back in Alaska and America will forget all about her......but beware the republicans will be training her up so 4 years from now she will be able to speak without looking like a total twat..... which will be enough for republicans who will vote for the thick bitch in huge numbers.....god help america 4 years from now!!!

Worry not. In 4 years Barack and Joe will have our great country humming along so smoothly Sarah and Ted Stevens will be the only Republicans left. And Stevens is now a convicted felon so he cant vote!
BUT, Don't forget to VOTE on Tuesday!

god help america in the next four if Obama is to win. three new supreme court judges that will legislate obama's far leftist policies, 25% cut in national defense when there are still terrorist that hate us and wish for our downfall, raising taxes in a near recession, handouts for those who will not help themselves, at the expense of those who will, foreign conflicts will be dealt with by talking and "taking away their allowence/trade/economic strangulation. I don't know what will become of us?

The line "so Christian Dior me" is particularly apt in light of the $150,000 expenditure on wardrobe and the layout for a travelling stylist that's larger than what the foreign policy analyst was paid.

That's probably because Michelle is out campaigning on her own for her husband.
Because she is a good public speaker. Unlike Todd who just has a high school degree, Michelle majored in Sociology from Princeton, and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts, cum laude, as well as a doctorate degree from Harvard Law.
Just answering the "interesting" question you posed.

todd is also a liberal democrat, seems true to the stereotype. uneducated, anti-american, typical liberal. but nonetheless whats wrong with someone who only graduated high-school? thats a large percentage of america, you know, the voters, the working class, the backbone, the drivers of the American economy. how dare you undermine that.
dudeman5790 3 years ago
Honestly sir, I think you have lost your argument. I myself only have a high school diploma, and have taken a few college courses. I am not saying anything about "undermining" that, and how dare you insinuate something so radical that I did not say. All I did was reply to somebody's suggestion that Todd and Cindy are always at their spouses rallies and Michelle is not- because she doesn't support her husband. She is a highly educated woman and a good public speaker who campaigns for her husband.

Yeah COME ON!! Would you ask your wife to keep coming with you if she screws you everytime she walks out the door?

Michelle is at home taking care of her children. She does not parade them around and use them as props like Sarah does.

Really come on I know John McCain is bad but surely not that bad that he's scarier than Palin the wicked witch from the North West

Palin's unabashed and even eager attacks on Obama as a friend to terrorists who have tried to kill Americans qualifies her as a truly wicked if not downright evil person. McCain's failure to repudicate all such smears and his de facto encouragement of them and the violent fringe they encourage make him at least an accomplice and mostly probably a principal to these represhensible incitements.

You know who is scarier... Obama's wife!

Interesting that always see Todd and or Cindy with their candidate spouses.
Rarely do you see Michelle or Biden's wife on the stump.
Cindy really wants it. Her eyes are ablaze with first lady fever.

Cindy needs to absorb some of the spotlight because John McCain is seriously lacking in character, and the republican party needs to satisfy the lonely housewife constituency.

Cindy scares the life out of me! You know how there are some people born to lead, then there are others that are born to WANT to lead.. Cindy is the later, and hopefully this will be the last we have to see of her on the national stage (she's actually scarier than Palin, but not by much).
