Another Palin Compilation

We'll start with a photo ... and a link to the article by Jason Linkins of the Huffington Post: "Palin Fashion Includes Scarf That Encourages Voting...For Democrats"

From huffingtonpost.com - "Sarah Palin on SNL: Costume Designer Says She Wanted Nicer Clothes" - "The "Saturday Night Live" costume designer Wednesday night revealed the struggle he had in dressing Sarah Palin: she wanted to wear nicer clothes than they had picked out for her, reflecting the new image she has carefully constructed on the campaign trail."

From Wonkette.com - scroll down to Oct. 22 - BARACK THE BARGAIN HUNTER: Conservative blog TownHall.com investigated those fancy Obamas to see how much they spent on clothes. Barack & Michelle’s nomination night outfits cost under $3,000, or about 2% of Sarah Palin’s RNC shopping spree — and that includes a custom-made suit for Hopey. The Obamas also apparently bought their clothes with their own money, like Americans who support capitalism.

From Washingtonpost.com - Juliet Eilperin - "Veeps Run the Senate, Palin Tells Third Grader" When asked about the role of the vice president yesterday, GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin gave an expansive interpretation of the legislative role and indicated she would be "in charge of the United States Senate" after taking office.

From christiansciencemonitor.com - Jimmy Orr - "Did Palin really need $150k for a new wardrobe?" No one is saying that Sarah Palin should be required to walk around in flip flops and a hefty bag as she campaigns over the next two weeks. But the $150,000 price tag on to get her dudded-up for the campaign trail has left many a political observer agog at the news.

Some fun Palin nicknames:

And the fun continues ...

I've received a number of links from friends so it's time to update the blog. Reading some of these articles, commentaries, blogs, and reports I just become more and more concerned about the possibility that Sarah Palin could possibily become the Vice President of the United States. This is an 'oy vey' situation if I've ever seen one!

Sarah Palin Debate Flow Chart

This one not only deserves it's own blog entry but I don't think an introduction is even needed. From Daily Kos - the "Sarah Palin Debate Flow Chart" by adennak

I know some folks out there might have had trouble following the Vice Presidential debate. Particularly, trying to parse meaning from the things that Sarah Palin said. With that in mind, I have compiled a handy resource for your perusal. I hope to update this chart, both graphically and grammatically, when it is no longer ten to five in the morning. For for the mean time. . . enjoy!

Post VP Debate .. Have opinions changed?

Overall, I think we can agree that Palin succesfully met expectations, as low as they were, and the debate was not a total failure. While it could be 'ok' to not answer questions, while it could be 'ok' to debate using the tactic where one barely responds to a question and then goes on to talk about another topic, it's not ok to think that ones' charm and personality is enough to qualify you to be Vice President of the United States.

Not articles but funny anyway:

A move preview from "College Humor"

Here are some interesting Palin articles:

From slate.com - Fred Kaplan - "She Still Knows Nothing" Palin proved that she can speak in complete sentences, but not that she understands anything about foreign policy.

From washingtonpost.com - Tom Shales - "Palin Takes On A New Foe: Her Image"

From huffingtonpost.com - Arianna Huffington - VP Debate: McCain's Big Gamble Comes Up Snake Eyes

From The Christian Science Monitor - Linda Feldmann - "Palin rebounds in debate – but is it too late?"

From washingtonpost.com - Juliet Eilperin - "Palin Picks Ferraro as Favorite 'Vice President'"
