I can't remember who, but I recall a woman last year at a
get together talking about new glasses & stating "I got my Palin's".


BTW, Chris Matthews was still talking about the "Palin cheat sheet" last night.
(I've been watching more MSNBC lately. It's quite entertaining).


In his defense, Hannity was too.

So I was having my yearly exam at the optometrist yesterday. Been going to him for years and we're pretty cool. He schedules me as his last appt on purpose so that we can shoot the shit. Usually we talk cars (he's a Z car fan from way back), or women, or just about the general fucked up state of things. One thing we've never discussed is politics. I brought it up and it turns out that he's center-left. He's Jewish and he's from Texas - there's gotta be a compromise there, right?

We got to talking about Palin, and he said that his eyeglass sales went way up last year when she hit the national scene. I thought he was kidding me, but he was dead serious. Go figure...

Nothing like a childish vindictive Leftwinger in the WhiteHouse.

57

If it were me in the White House I certainly would not be adding to Palin's cred by referring to her or acknowledging her in ANY way.

What Gibbs did was funny to be sure, but childish. Even my 8 year old son knows to ignore girls who are bothering you.

Don't talk about her cans guys.  She posts here and will be angry.  If you looked on her hand today you'd see:

"pervs @ NPB"

Pervert.

And that's why I didn't.

Juvenile. If Ari Fleischer had mocked Feinstein or Boxer in similar fashion, NOW and the press would've been up in arms.

In a dig at former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs took time during Tuesday's briefing to read a mock grocery list that he had written in pen on his left hand.

"Eggs, milk and bread," Gibbs read from the black ink stains on his palm, claiming he was going to "make pancakes" for his son Ethan.

"But I crossed out bread," he added, pointing to the line that, indeed, x-ed bread off the list.

"Then I wrote down hope and change just in case I forgot them."

The obvious dig at Palin drew giggles from the press corp. The former vice presidential candidate turned darling of the far right has been getting ribbed for writing crib notes on her left hand before a question and answer session at the Tea Party convention on Saturday night.

Gibbs's comedy act was not entirely original, however. Huffington Post senior congressional correspondent Ryan Grim did his own "grocery-list-on-my-palm" routine on MSNBC the day before.

For her part, Palin poked a little fun at herself during an appearance on Sunday, writing "Hi Mom" on her palm.

This thread is full of win-agratude

No need to be lemony about his wordsmithitude.  The effectifying trait of his homey ramblerity was a clear communicatification messagery, even if you had a dislikery of it.

The Golden one could use perfect construction, but still communicate nothing clearly.

GWB.  Miss him now?

He wasn't such a bad speaker, was he?

I think GWB had outstanding speech writers. Much of the wordsmithing and distillation of ideas in his addresses was first rate. GWB did a serviceable job delivering prepared texts. In interviews and press conferences he was impressively awful.

So that's why he holds his head so high?  To let all the brilliance fall through his synapses.
