Ms Palin is not a politician, she’s a reality TV personality and career aspiring B-list celebrity with a history of fraudulently taking office in state government.
And she’s certainly the worst kind of Redneck — a fake one that mistakenly thinks it’s somehow cool to be uncouth.
To answer the poll, no, public speakers should bring meaning, purpose and content to their public speaking, not recitals of “fwd:” emails that belong in the trash can/rubbish bin/spam bucket.

“When the moon is high and yellow, then time will tell stories of tides that were and tides that will be…and everything will be washed away.” From the initial version of A Tempest in a Teapot, Vol. 4, page 926, Paragraph 3, lines 3-5.

ditto…in the mid 60’s there were protests on college campus’ against the war and for civil rights. Since Ronald Reagan (who is paying for his sins right now) the educational system in this country has failed the youth in this country miserably. But they got what they wanted, college campus’ with freshman who can’t even read. A permanent, ever growing working class so dumbed down that they don’t know when or who is screwing them. They don’t even need a draft. I have fucking given up too. Let them fuck up this country, I don’t care anymore. When you try to help these idiots by talking to them they label you a liberal, commie, fag.
fuck ‘em

Matt, have you seen this defense of the hedge fund/private equity fund managers’ tax break for “carried interest”?

I’d seriously love to hear Sarah Palin’s take. I think every current congressman (and candidate) should have to give an opinion on this.

Prescient? How about damning? They had just finished working on the valve – to known sub-par standards – and knew it was going to blow out! So in a quickie weekend deal days before, they bought an oil clean-up/blow-out prevention company to position themselves to profit from the disaster they created – first with the clean-up, and later when the valve standards get raised. What the stock does or doesn’t do isn’t the point…it’s the evil, obvious intent. Matt, don’t let them get away with it without an outcry! No major media has linked these events…

Prescient as the Hali buy seems, it maybe already has them in “hot” stocks! Anybody check their movement? Time will tell…

Hey Matt, off topic but up your alley, with no media coverage since the spill: Halliburton purchased an oil disaster response company THE WEEKEND BEFORE THE GULF BLOWOUT! Unbelievable. http://www.foxbusiness.com/story/markets/industries/energy/halliburton-buy-boots–coots/ Permalink
Put Cheney’s pals in stocks, like only you can do!

Actually, it was Spiro Agnew who first used it back in….69..70? Maybe Safire appropriated it…

William Safire: “nattering naybobs of negativity”

He’s still a witty gut, but his end of career shilling for the Bush administration drove me to distraction.
