There is so much going around the net right now about Palin, but the best stuff has already come from the Obamessiah’s slobbering supporters. With this pick, their true colors are going to come shining through like never before.

First, you have some drooling retard over at the Daily Kock claiming that Palin’s baby isn’t even hers - but that she was covering for one of her daughters. That’s the level of discourse over there, though. Through hard work and sheer idiocy, they have earned their reputation as vilest of the vile.

Then you have CNN Anchor John Roberts suggesting that Palin will be neglecting her special-needs baby by taking the nomination. All class, all the time.

To the mainstream press, a real woman would have aborted the baby (healthy or not) at some point in the process. If it were up to Obama, he would have had them leave the baby in a linen closet until the breathing stopped. But even if a real woman (i.e. a liberal democrat) had decided to keep the little punishment, she would have been able to get equal work for equal pay while simultaneously raising a family and shattering corporate glass ceilings. Because liberal women are superwomen.

Conservative women, on the other hand, have betrayed the leftist gynochracy and must be punished.

It will be fun to watch as the media leftists begin to show their true colors. Leftists have always been the ones obsessed with race, gender and every other subclassification of society - watch as they struggle to make sense of a strong, smart woman who doesn’t share their illogical points of view.

They’re already having as much trouble with this as they did with Clarence Thomas, whose nomination demonstrated that the left is nothing but a bunch of adolescent racists masquerading as sublimely cultured.

Let the entertainment begin.

UPDATE: Alan “Wacky Eye” Colmes has been trying to reach new depths with a post that suggests that Palin did not engage in proper prenatal care, which caused her newborn’s problems.

Then he tried to scrub the post. Nice. Not at all surprising, though, from a douchebag like Colmes. Don’t ever change, Colmes.

UPDATE DOS: Jeff G has the straight dope over at PW.

1. We were thinking the same thing buddy.

2. I am somewhat ambivalent about this pick. On one hand we always bemoan the disconnect between Washington politicians and normal folks but on the other hand we are going to run across the inevitable situation where somebody asks “Who is the ambassador to Cameroon?” or “Who is the Prime Minister of Pakistan?” and she’s going to look like a deer in the headlights.

   Trading “change” for “experience” requires someone with a realistic vision and a moral/pragmatic center.

   I wouldn’t be able to name a politician that I’ve seen who fits that bill.

3. Okay, Brian, who IS the ambassador to Cameroon?
   I have no reason to believe that Palin doesn’t know. Don’t confuse inexperience with ignorance.

4. Yeah Brian…what Trish said…

   I’ll bet the farm that Palin knows LOADS more about geo-politics than Barry O.

   In fact, she’s actually had to interact with foreign governments…negotiating deals with Canada…something neither Barry O OR Joe Biden has.

5. When did John Roberts assume that Ms. Palin would neglect her newborn?

   I believe he asked a question. After all, that’s what reporters are paid to do.

   BTW, was it a mirage to see that Obama has two lovely young daughters on stage the other nite, or did he just hire stand-ins?

   With that said, it’s pretty clear there is a clear “common sense” deficiency among conservatives.

   Maybe if you paid more attention in school, you’d be a real reporter rather than a blogger.

6. Brian G., you ignorant slut. Here was Robert’s exact quote:

   The role of Vice President, it seems to me, would take up an awful lot of her time, and it raises the issue of how much time will she have to dedicate to her newborn child?

   Uh…until Roberts did it himself, this issue had not been raised. In fact, Sarah Palin is a GOVERNOR OF A STATE…a job that is at least equally as taxing as Vice President…and nobody had brought up that issue before.

   Of course had Sarah Palin been a DEMOCRAT, Roberts would have lauded her bravery as a “have-it-all” mother.

   Roberts’ question was inane. And it posed an obvious challenge to Palin’s motherhood.

   Maybe if your parents paid more attention to your upbringing, you’d have an IQ over 95 rather than being a total idiot…

7. Now, Nigel. Be nice to our guest. It’s obvious he’s got a unhealthy mix of psychological issues to deal with.

   And, full disclosure, I do have a B.S. degree in journalism. I’m proud to say I’ve never actually worked in the field. I would have to take a substantial pay cut to do so, and I’m not interested.

   I’ll leave journalism to the brainwashed zombies that wonder out of colleges of communications across the campuses of this great land.

8. Thanks to Google, I can tell you the Pakistani Prime Minister on a moment’s notice. Syed Gillani. Or our ambassador to Cameroon, Janet Garvey. That’s not the point.

   The point is the “gotcha” moment that lays in wait when you have a candidate as inexperienced as Palin who is not going to be able to respond so extemporaneously.

   I understand the honeymoon with Palin has not even entered Day 2 yet but whether we’re talking about the price of a gallon of milk (which, with 5 kids she will know) or the Presidents and Prime Ministers of other nations (which she likely will not) that Palin is at a disadvantage when she enters a hostile media.

   It’s cause for concern. I’m not trying to piss on everybody’s parade or anything but you have to know that a Biden or someone like him can lure her into a discussion, dare I say, outside of her pay grade depth.

   It will happen - you have to be prepared for it.

9. After Palin’s speech I flipped to CNN. It took Jack Cafferty about 2 nano-seconds to rip into her. Hhhmmm…that brings something to mind. Neanderthals became extinct 30,000 years ago. So what is that sh*thead Cafferty doing here?

   comment by Tbird — Saturday, August 30, 2008 @ 6:13 pm

10. Once again, Brian, on what do you base the idea that Palin does not know who the leaders of other nations are? How do you figure that? And, as you, yourself, just pointed out, anyone can learn that from the Internet in a matter of seconds.
    As I told you, do not confuse inexperience with ignorance. There will be no “gotcha” moment. Palin is not the idiot you seem to believe her to be. From what I’ve seen, she is far more knowledgeable than Biden could ever hope to be.
    There’s something sexist in your tone, incidentally. That crack about her kids and milk was uncalled-for.

11. Trish, let me spare you BMac’s wrath. And if you didn’t know, he’s a long-time contributor here. He is simply pointing out that there will be a gotcha moment - one create entirely for the mainstream/leftist press to grab onto, due to her inexperience. He’s probably right.

    And you need to read up on his posts before you read anything sexist into his comments. I recommend you read up.

    comment by Preston Taylor Holmes — Saturday, August 30, 2008 @ 7:12 pm

12. Preston, Trish doesn’t have to read anything “sexist” into Brian’s comments…

    Racist on the other hand…my boy’s the biggest cracker there is.

    (But I do love me some BMac in the mornin’)

    comment by C. McKinney — Saturday, August 30, 2008 @ 8:05 pm

13. I think it’s fine that he’s a long time contributor, but that IS a sexist comment–and I’m NOT a feminist. It may be the only sexist comment he’s ever made in his life, but it is still a sexist comment.

    I think he’s quite wrong about the “gotcha” moment. Inexperience is not ignorance. It’s pretty nasty to say that an adult holding the office of governor likely will not know about the leaders of other nations. Experience has nothing to do with that; it’s acquired knowledge, and I see no reason to assume that Palin has not or will not acquire it. There is also no reason to assume that Palin is going to have any “deer in the headlights” moments. From what I’ve seen of her she is quite capable of handling hostile media.

    comment by Trish — Saturday, August 30, 2008 @ 8:11 pm

    ---

14. Nah…I get Brian Mac’s point now. Brian, it does seem a little like you are pissing on my parade…but I feel ya.

    It’s just that I think the more arcane the “gotcha” moment, the dumber the dems are going to look for trying to spring it on her.

    Womyns did not like it when Obama attacked Hillary on legitimate points, how are they going to feel when they try to “get” Palin on something like her solution to the malaria problem in Swahililand.

    (I’m talking about those uncommitted Womyns who haven’t repeatedly fantasized about getting Obama’s man-love)

15. Trish…if you get offended easily, then methinks this will be a tough forum for you. This politically-correct offensensitivity don’t fly too well here.

    In reality there was NOTHING sexist in Brian’s comments. If you were offended because you thought they were sexist, then you are a little thin-skinned.

    In fact, I’d love to see Sarah Palin counsel you. I don’t know…perhaps she’d tell you to get over it:

16. Nigel–
    I don’t get offended easily, but yes, the milk comment WAS sexist. There’s no getting around that. If you don’t think so, try it this way: “I understand the honeymoon with Obama isn’t over, but whether we’re talking about the price of a gallon of milk (which, with 2 kids, he will know)…” It isn’t even conceivable that someone would say such a thing about a man.

    It’s extremely amusing to be accused of being politically correct, considering the fact that I have fought against pc for decades. I
    I never said I was offended or angry about the remark. I said it was sexist, which it undeniably is. If you were offended because I told the truth, then I think you need Sarah Palin to tell you: get over it.
    Pay attention to what’s said, not to what you want to read into it.

    comment by Trish — Saturday, August 30, 2008 @ 8:45 pm

17. Sarah Palin has not seen a hostile national media because she only gained it’s spotlight yesterday.

    The milk comment was based on a long standing history of things like questioning candidates on the price of a gallon of milk, or the cost of a gallon of gas, or whether George Bush had ever seen a supermarket scanner before - or other common knowledge that seems to escape The Elected.

    It comes up every election.

    But really, the rote and ultrasensitive playing of the Gender Card is no prettier when it’s coming from the someone on the Right than it does when it’s coming from one of Hillary’s diesel dykes.

    You can interpret whatever you want into it and it is only theoretically possible that I could give a shit less.

    Pay attention to what’s said, not to what you want to read into it.

    Hello, Pot? Kettle calling.

18. Hey Trish - Mrs. Preston Taylor Holmes here -part-time attorney and full-time stay at home mother of PTH’s sweet babies. I’m curious - do you have kids? Because if you do, then you should know that Bryan’s statement is just common damn sense, not sexist. If you’ve read anything about Sarah Palin, then you can probably guess that she DOES know the cost of a gallon of milk. I think Bryan’s point is that this woman is of the people - she is raising kids in the real world so yes, she knows what it costs to feed them. Most of us moms do because in the real world (where I live) we’re the ones doing most of the grocery shopping. And that’s a fact.

19. Trish, I don’t have any record of your anti-feminism, anti-liberal, anti-pc claims.

    I guess it’s “Smantix”…er…Semantics.

    But you are crying “Sexist” where sexism did’t really exist.

    So let me help you out here…

    Sarah Palin? Damn she’s hawt! You don’t often see someone so purty yet so accomplished. I wonder if she’ll be able to keep up her hotness under the duress of a Presidential campaign and four years in Washington.

    I think she’s a terrific little lady who whose biggest contribution to Washington may end up being her culinary contributions(moose burgers, caribou dogs)…and won’t it be so cute to have the media tail her every day as she drops the kids off at school each morning?

20. Dear kettle: there is no pot here.

    Your remark was sexist ON ITS FACE. I am perfectly willing to concede that you didn’t intend it that way. You didn’t make a comment about consumer prices or shopping. You made a comment about a woman knowing the price of milk because she has children. That is sexist. I am sure you didn’t mean it that way, but it is a sexist remark ON ITS FACE. I do not read anything here but what you have written.

    How sad that instead of looking at what you said, and realizing that you made a bad mistake, you accuse me of “playing the gender card.” Sorry, my boy, but human beings have no gender. Human beings have a sex. There was nothing rote about what I said; it was a concerned comment about the words which you posted. I have never read anything into what you have posted; I have read your words. You have obviously not read mine. Please read the words I am saying and not the emotions you want to read into them. I have never interpreted what you have said. I have merely read it.

    Sarah Palin has met the national media before, and conquered them. There is no reason to suppose that she is ignorant of facts or issues.

21. Sorry Trish. I’m glad you dig Palin, but you’ve got issues. Your skin seems to be as thin as that of the Obamessiah, so just know that we don’t deal very well with that ’round these parts. File that away for future discussions.

22. No human being has issues. Magazines and newspapers have issues. People have problems.

    Do you realize that I was trying to HELP Brian with the fact that he was making a sexist remark and needed to tone it down? Apparently not. I am astounded at how thin-skinned you all are. Butch up, boys! You need to stop reacting emotionally and start to THINK.

    comment by Trish — Saturday, August 30, 2008 @ 10:17 pm

23. You obviously didn’t follow any of the links I posted. Asking a candidate the price of a gallon of milk is a common practice (even *gasp* men!) in every single election despite your lame and completely inaccurate assertion that no one would ever dare ask a man that.

    The fact is that Palin needs to be taking a crash course on world politics because if she can’t hold her own against a blowhard like Biden then she is going to look like an affirmative action pick. That’s the thrust of what I’m saying. My sweaty, chauvinistic thrust pounding away at the tender crotch of your sensitivity.

    You want a sexist remark on it’s face? How about this one?

    You are giving dumb twats a bad reputation.

25. It’s really funny.

    I posted an objective, reasoned post based on what was actually said, with no emotion involved. I got a firestorm of emotion back.

    “Sexist” is an accusation full of feeling. There really isn’t an objective definition…whether something is sexist or not is at the discretion of the accuser.

    You made the accusation.

30. Wow - this is interesting. I was going to make an observation about the sexism that comes from the Left towards women of the Right - and then there are all these squabbles about gallons of milk and Prime Ministers of Pakistan. Lots of politicians get the deer in the headlight look when asked about Pakistani leaders - just ask George Bush. And about the price of milk…ask just about anyone (you’d think a political handler might start putting that one on flash cards after all this time.)

    Is a woman more likely to know the answer? I dunno. I’m a woman. I have one kid. I know how much bread costs, but I don’t know how much milk costs because I get it delivered. Does that make me out of touch? I’m sure Sarah Palin is a hands on parent, but I’d make a guess she doesn’t spend hours every week at the grocery store. That time would be better spent parenting or governing - and she doesn’t seem like a woman who wastes time.

    I’ve never been involved in the Republican party, I’m still a member of the Democratic party. I’m also a member of the Conservative party in the UK, where I’ve met a number of amazing women (and a few good men, too.) But in my line of work, I’m surrounded by people who are extremely Left wing. I’ve had colleagues who are members of the Socialist Workers Party (nasty Trotskyites) and many who are avowedly Marxist.

    Margaret Thatcher has been out of office for almost 20 years, but she’s still subject to regular personal attack from the Left. She “betrayed” women. She did nothing for women, blah, blah, blah, blah. Makes me sick. Sure, she didn’t do much for the feminist agenda (and I am a feminist), but whatever else might be said she was true to her own mission - which was to rescue Britain from a socialist nightmare. I’m not saying Sarah Palin is another Margaret Thatcher - politicians like that are few and far between regardless of sex. None of the four running for top office in the US seem of Maggie’s caliber. But I suspect that as the original post suggests - she’ll be subject to much of the same (baseless) sexist criticism just because she is a woman of the Right.

    Gov. Palin will almost certainly have some moments when she’s caught short. But Dan Quayle was still on a winning ticket (once), and goodness knows he was gaffe prone.

    Nigel is almost right in suggesting that sexist criticism from the left (and maybe from the right, too) will have an influence on women who are pissed off about Hillary Clinton’s loss. I’m one of those refuseniks, although I wouldn’t accept his characterization. I’ve never voted Republican in my life and I strongly disagree with Palin’s position on many social issues, but I find myself defending her. Fortunately, she has many other fine things on her record which make that relatively easy to do.

31. Dang - I missed a great point. I blame sleep deprivation. My critter has been awake from 2 to 4 am for the past several nights.

    Gov Palin may not know the price of milk - but she knows the cost: over 600k of Alaskan public money. She supported keeping a state subsidized dairy open despite the fact that cheaper milk from Washington State was available in Alaskan stores.

32. Dudes, Dudeens, go back to your respective corners, the 12th round is over.

    To Trish, the love of my life, you could lighten up a bit. We’re among friends here, a little sexist remark among friends isn’t the end of the world.

    Nigel, I understand your point about “Gotcha Moments”, but could we not try to be so blunt about it. The left will try to tear Palin to ribbons, we don’t need to give them ammo.

    Brian: I know the languange here is not PC, but c’mon, the twat comment was way over the top.

    All: Please consider the original comment:

    Don’t confuse inexperience with ignorance.

    Frankly I don’t think she’s that inexperienced, compared to the colon polyps running against Wasshisname/Palin.

    And I know for damn sure she isn’t ignorant.

    And I also know for damn sure she has more nads than the entire Demo/Commie party does.

    Just sayin, is all.

35. Well, the good part is that Trish was just trying to help, which means that maybe now she’ll give up.

    And since this has veered so ludicrously off topic, I’ll simply end it by restating that there was nothing remotely sexist about the original comment. And that’s looking at it hyper-objectively.

    Sheeesh.

    Now everyone get away from your computers (like I’m about to) and enjoy the real world for the rest of the weekend. Either that or I’ll ban the lot of you, including myself.

36. I’ll second the motion. But in closing, if any of you think that what I said is sexist, you are in for a long two months.

    As PTH pointed out, CNN is already insulting her parenting skills, the Kossacks are making up stories about her injuring her unborn baby or that her high school daughter is a skank and she’s covering for her. The catty commentary about clothes and eye make-up is bound to be ripe material for The View and CNN.

    If you think that asking her a question that everybody gets asked is sexist then be sure to adjust the amount of Pine-Sol in your mop buckets to account for your tears between now and November.

40. Nigel,

    Don’t give us that crap. I guess by the name calling and insults, you are a die-hard republican, with the fascist beliefs already built in.

    Did you actually see Roberts ask the question, or did you read it? Big difference.

    It’s an election. Everything will be made public. Everything.

    This is what reporters are supposed to do. Ask tough questions. Throw all scenarios out on the table for discussion. This is what they’re supposed to do. Had they done that, perhaps the war in Iraq would have been avoided.

    Amazing that anything contrary to republican dogma is either considered liberal or anti-patriotic. So many insecure republicans.

    So stick to FOX News, NASCAR, deep fried Twinkies, and hope your father and aunt remain happily married.

    And poor little Brianna…you clearly do not know what Fascism is if you equate it to Republicans. Stop parroting what your Junior College Poly Sci professor taught you and go see Barack Obama’s REAL attempts at quelling discourse:

    As far as whether I saw him ask the question, or just read it…OH I GET IT…it’s about the CONTEXT. Or maybe what the definition of “child” is, or some crap like that.

    Reporters are supposed to ask tough questions, huh? Wake me up the next time a reporter asks Obama why he accepted financial assistance from convicted felon Tony Rezko….

47. Oh, but when Barack Obama’s father abandons him it’s An American Success Story.

48. Forget it BMac. Once they’ve rationalized that killing a baby is OK, logic and reason circuits rarely work again afterwards.

49. Palin’s 17 year old, unwed daughter is knocked up. That’s hilarious.

    The only thing we’re missing now is the trailer and a few missing teef.

50. I guess you’re right Cranky. On the bright side, me and Obama are both mutts - so I’ve got that going for me.

    I just didn’t have to marry a stuck-up bitch and have two kids to hide my bisexuality like Barry Soetero.

    Oh well, less cocks for me.

51. I am a Mom and I just heard about the John Roberts question.

    Actually I was thinking the same thing the first day I learned about her being nominated. . .
    All newborns need constant attention, that’s not being sexist — That’s common sense It is a full-time commitment caring for a 4 month old baby. And it’s a valid question to ask especially for mother of 5 children, 4 of which are still living at home. Does she plan on saying she represents the typical “Mom.” with family values? I work FT and it’s not easy to find time to be involved in the day to day events unless I leave work early. I am fortunate that my job allows me to do that but I don’t see how a VP of the US will be able to do that. . .

    Lastly, I have to say it really offends me to see the blanket assumption that “all Democrats believe she should have aborted”. How incredibly wrong and presumptive.
    So, guess all Republicans are far right wingers and every Democrat is a far leaning lefty?? Absolutely not. Not in the least. Nor does every Democrat think choice automatically equals abortion - far from it.

    Sadly, it seems that this political race is going to be nasty, so buckle up everyone!

52. Lee,

    Literally HUNDREDS of more legitimate questions to ask of Sarah Palin, and Roberts pulls THIS one out.

    It worked. Because it put a little doubt in a mom like you.

    Never mind that Sarah Palin has been running an entire STATE while being a mother to her children, and that topic had not come up before…

    Never mind that there are hundreds of female Company CEOs across our country who also have children…

    Feminists have been telling women for 30-some years now that they could “have it all”…

    I guess they were all full of shit.

53. Christ on a cracker, lee. There is so much wrong with your comment, but I’m just going to point out the most obvious.

    “All newborns need constant attention, that’s not being sexist…” .

    Au contraire! That sentence is THE definition of “sexist”. You cannot make a sexist comment and claim “that’s not being sexist” and make it so.

    It is. And you know it.

    Newborns definitely need constant attention. They need to be fed, changed, rocked, burped, changed, loved, changed, fed, rocked, burped and changed again.

    So tell me, why is it that MRS. Paulin is the only one that would be able to accomplish these simple tasks? The way I see it (as you do) she has 4 kids that are still living at home. I don’t know how it worked in your family, but in mine, we all helped take care of the younger kids. Of ALL ages. And obviously the daughter can use the practice, so it’s a win-win!

    You know, I’m going to drop it. If you can’t see how ridiculous your comment is, I can’t help you. And the fact that you vote for democrats, and probably call yourself a “feminist” goes perfectly with my thoughts that democrats are absolutely wrong on every subject possible. Even though you take BOTH SIDES of a position, depending on who you are defending or defaming, the democrats always manage to be on the WRONG SIDE of the argument, no matter which side they are arguing!

    Have a great life, lee! I pray that you aren’t married with these kids because it sounds to me like your husband would just be another kid you’d have to take care of. I mean, he obviously couldn’t take care of himself, let alone an INFANT. And why would he? That’s a woman’s job!
