Uncomfortable Metaphor Of The Week: Brazile and Donaldson on Viagra
Do we need a second stimulus package? We’ll let the economists decide that one, but there certainly doesn’t need to be any more debates like this one between Donna Brazile and Sam Donaldson. Warren Buffett used a Viagra analogy this week to explain why we might need to pump some more money into he economy, but the pundits on This Week take it to another level with much more information than we wanted to know about Donaldson.
Buchanan: Russia Agreement Makes Us Less Safe?
Perhaps it was the hangover from the death of Michael Jackson, perhaps it was the excitement around Obama’s visits to Italy and Ghana, but the arms agreement the president made with Russia last week received too little coverage, especially when you consider the stakes (the possible extermination of much of the world’s population, for those of you who don’t recall the Cold War). The agreement requires Russia and the U.S. to limit nuclear warheads, but as Pat Buchanan points out on The McLaughlin Group, that gains very little for safety and may play into Russian objectives more than to those of the Unites States.

Palin's 7 Best Moments on Oprah

OMG John McCain is so lying when he says he respects Sarah Palin. His eyes are going back and forth like a pinball in a hot game. About the only truth is "I cannot tell you the appreciation I have for her." He cannot tell us because it would reveal his total dirty old man lechery and political cynicism in selecting her as his running mate.
Maybe you have been watching too much "Lie to Me" on TV.
Maybe Dixie hit it out of the park!
I don't think Dixie hit it out of the park, I mean obviously McCain became pretty uncomfortable when he says "I cannot tell you the appreciation I have for her." But there's more too this.
To me, this just screams that Sarah is who the Republicans will be supporting for 2012. Politcal positioning at its finest. What you saw here was the former front-runner stepping back and grabbing Sarah and moving her up front. Sorry Romney, Sanford, Jindal, etc...
Step #2 Now Palin will be all over Faux News as the hero and doing the courageous thing. Whoops, looks like Fox got ahead of itself!
Aw, c'mon. She took the blame for his loosing the White House. I bet he appreciates that quite a bit.
OMG, McCain is a "dirty old man" ? That's both ageist AND sexist, you silly girl !!
Senator McCain was very predictable on Meet the Press today. I will say I liked his acknowledgment that he would be willing to talk to the President on Health Care. He stated "we should begin dialogue". I would hope the he follows through. It seems that the President is very collaborative.
Gee, DiFi really showed a lot of indignation about not being briefed about Cheney's program, didn't she.
And McCain is trying to bullshit everbody about Sarah Barracuda and is not succeeding.
Can anyone imagine the debates between Obama and Palin in 2012? Holy crap. It's litterally hard to imagine. It won't matter if it's a Townhall, Standup of Sitdown; those debates will be massacres for the Republican party. Palin can raise money like nobody's business, but she'd struggle to put her ideas where her mouth is.
Listen y'all, Palin will NOT run for office. She is only in it for the money now. After getting the political tar beat out of her in the last election, and her realizing that as an office holder she can no longer fly under the radar because of her sophmoric political incoherence, she has quit office holding for the nut-wing ATM circuit. Why on Earth would she want to be POTUS when millions of dollars are out there for her to gather in?
I agree. She is only leaving the door open for a potential 2012 run because she knows it will put a premium on her speaking engagements. I doubt she'll actually run.
Good thing Obama solved this economic problem!!! Now the Daily Beast can concentrate more on Palin.
I hope she does run in 2012. Obama will get 75% of the vote then. there is just not enough stupid people in America to elect her to anything. McCain is just stupid , but I doubt he would be stupid enough to vote for Palin LOL !!
You only have to look at the amount of comments left on any subject relative to a Palin one to know she generates noise. And noise means dollars. I don't remember who said it but it went; There is no such thing as bad press.
Thank you.
