Palin is the Clarence Thomas of Women’s Issues
One female friend said: “Sarah Palin is to the movement for women’s equality what Clarence Thomas is to civil rights. She’s an extremist and an enemy to the cause that has been fought on her behalf…. Someone should stand up and say: ‘I know Senator Clinton. Senator Clinton is a friend of mine. And Sarah Palin is no Hillary Rodham Clinton.'”
Samantha Bee Nails Palin, Even With Her “Fun Pouch”
The Daily Show’s Samantha Bee expresses perfectly how the Republicans who selected Sarah Palin as John McCain’s running mate must think women — or should I say, Vagina-Americans — operate. If you haven’t seen this, you must.
GOP Averts Disaster: Bush And Cheney Cancel Convention Appearances
MSNBC reports that both George Bush and Dick Cheney have canceled their appearances at the Republican National Convention because of the likelihood that hurricane Gustav would be coming ashore on the Gulf Coast near New Orleans on Monday at around the same time they were scheduled to speak in St. Paul.
The White House is apparently terrified that news channels would televise Bush’s speech on a split screen with live footage of people stranded in flood waters, as evacuees were in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina three years ago.
The McCain campaign is undoubtedly relieved by the cancellations. While Bush and Cheney remain popular with the hardcore extremist base of the GOP, they are extremely unpopular with regular Americans, which means that featuring them the convention could dampen support for the GOP ticket among independent voters in November.
