Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Sunday, October 26, 2008

Sarah Palin called media coverage of her $150,000 RNC-purchased clothing "ridiculous" at an event in Tampa Sunday and announced that she's back to wearing her own clothes. "Those clothes, they are not my property. ... I am back to wearing my own clothes from my favorite consignment shop in Anchorage, Alaska."

She can't even lie well. What a fake!

"It's the hypocrisy, stupid."

moosellini wearing clothes from a consignment shop?
BULLSHIT!
Her kids-yes-her? No freakin way-she's too self-centered.

Did McCain pick his running mate, or did he let Obama do it?

Palin has been a total disaster for McCain's campaign...

Just when you think this election season can't get any more weird, the vp candidate makes sure her wardrobe is a valid news topic for another day or two.

Thank god this only has eight more days to go.

But then the 2012 campaign starts in nine days.

Palin's starting to sound like Richard Nixon's "Checkers speech," where he talked about his wife Pat's plain Republican cloth coat.

"A senior adviser to John McCain told CNN that the comments about her wardrobe "were not the remarks we sent to her plane this morning."

Hahahaha. It just gets better and better.

She thinks the point is that the republicans bought the cloths for her.

No.

The point is that the republicans spent that much money on a wardrobe for anyone.

Besides--anyone knows that genuine Yupik Eskimo earrings go for 10K at the gift shop.

i guess she has gone rogue.

Obama spent $400K to visit his Grandma in HI. (Kessler: Newsmax.com). In comparison, Palin has been very frugal.

i guess she has gone rogue.

That's what McCain aides say...

Looky here. We learned two things tonight.

Bowa's a Brad Blakeman fan.

And he either doesn't know how to post a link or can't be bothered.

Why does she even bother? Obama's way ahead now. It's not even "clothes". Get it?

Take a chill pill TookitLikeAMan.

No one believes your pap.

Hehehe.... I have been saying that the liberal media has lost credibility.

So I'll believe only when their numbers are verified on November 4th. Until then all their shoutings are empty scarecrows.

Who OWNS the media? What are THEIR interests??

Until then all their shoutings are empty scarecrows.


Excuse me, I misspoke.

We learned three things tonight.

English as a second language.

Until then all their shoutings are empty scarecrows.

I admit I do not have the benefit of Ayers editing my lines --- unlike Obama whose 'Dreams from my Father' was shaped by Ayers his unrepentant terrorist associate.

"I admit I do not have the benefit of Ayers editing my lines ---"

As opposed to all of your direct advice from God, I suppose.

Takitez, I have seen you post this bullshit many times about "Ayers editing his book." Do you have a verifiable source for this?

Palin's starting to sound like Richard Nixon's "Checkers speech," where he talked about his wife Pat's plain Republican cloth coat.

Yup, her "aw shucks, we're just regular folks" routine is wearing thinner than Pat's plain republican cloth coat.

It's always funny fer Spud when the right try to do their populist routine.

They are traditionally very, very bad at it.

By the sounds of it here, Palin has figured out she's lost and is now trying to protect her image, her brand, if you will, fer future campaigns.

Be Well.

"I admit I do not have the benefit of Ayers editing my lines --- unlike Obama whose 'Dreams from my Father' was shaped by Ayers his unrepentant terrorist associate." -

Dude, seriously. What kind of crack do you smoke, and where do you get it? And when did you stop beating your wife?

Sambarber, Tedbaxter is going to chastise me for this, but instead of providing a link, I'm simply asking you to GOOGLE "Jack Cashill" and discover how he compared Obama's previous lousy writings with the refined lines in the book (reflecting Ayers' writing style and philosophy).

"Takitez, I have seen you post this bullshit many times about "Ayers editing his book." Do you have a verifiable source for this?"

Not a chance. He's just another low-life, lying, rightwing smear artist.

sorry, I don't accept GOOGLE(!) as a verifiable source. The only two people I know who WOULD are YOU and Ann Coulter.

As for "lousy writings," may we see examples of your prose? (outside of your wondrous writings here, of course)

Interesting comment from the article:

"Barack Obama and I [Palin] , we both have spent quite some time on the basketball court," she said. "But where I come from, you have to win the game before you start cutting down the nets."

BTW I'm not voting for either McCain or 0bama because neither one truly offers "change" from the Washingtonian BS but she has valid point.

Proof ayers ghosted Obama's.....

If he wins, we will have as President someone who enjoyed the help of a washed up but unrepentant terrorist and a veep who plagiarized sometime ago.

(But the liberals hated Bush so much that they cannot afford to expose their Obama, and hence gave him all the free passes, or Hail Marys, and even propped him up.)

I stand by Jack Cashill.

Gimme-
re: "Barack Obama and I, we both have spent quite some time on the basketball court," she said. "But where I come from, you have to win the game before you start cutting down the nets."

Palin accused the Democrat of renting a stadium for a victory party on November 4.

That's actually not the case Obama's rally on election night will be held outdoors in Grant Park in downtown Chicago.

Did you read the article?

"Proof ayers ghosted Obama's....."

You're full of shit, punk.

The main event has been called on a TKO.

The action's in the downticket races, now.

McCain is warning us of the dangers of single party governance, assuming of course that that single party is not his.

Meanwhile, Palin is busy doing a little base building in preparation for next week's blame festival.

Takeitez-
re: Proof ayers ghosted Obama's.....

Shouldn't there be something after the ellipsis?

Like, "Proof ayers ghosted Obama's..."

I will have to consult Ann Coulter for that. LOL.

Bowa's most reliable source.

www.weeklyworldnews.com

That's a funny site --- will check it later. I prefer The Weekly Standard though.

www.cashill.com

I encourage everyone to read it.

It makes many references and innuendos and claims to have "evidence" that Ayers ghost-wrote "Dreams..."

However, no evidence is presented. There's a lot of "he said that he said..." There is a lot of "Ayers certainly had time to write it or edit it." (so did millions of other people) There's a lot of "his earlier writings weren't so polished." (so what? neither were mine)

Since he doesn't offer quotations, has no actual proof that editing or ghost-writing occurs, what can one make of this?

Takitez takes it as gospel. I take it with a grain of salt. Personally, I find that any modern author has extensive editing and at least a little ghost-writing. This website speculates along the lines of the Vince Foster conspiracy nuts. Takitez, you'll have to do better than that.

Did you read the article?

#30 | Posted by BetelG

Yes BetelG after all I did quote it and despite what you're trying to infer by quoting the next two lines my point is that a lot of 0bamanites (especially here on the DR) are acting like it's already over. Did you read my comment?

"BTW I'm not voting for either McCain or 0bama because neither one truly offers "change" from the Washingtonian BS but she has valid point."

GEE Sarah !!!... The way I see it you wouldn't have given a fucking thing back if you wouldn't have been busted over it and threatened with having to pay ordinary income tax on $150,000 worth of cloths and services. I mean really dear....does this fit with the ordinary Christian, Hockey Mom, Walmart, theme you tried to Bullshit the American people with when you first came on the scene? Don't you feel even a little bit guilty with middle class people hurting so much financially these days when you appear to be nothing but a phony gold digging opportunist Bitch?

I have another question for you Sarah !!! .... How many pairs of $500 Designer Eyeglasses will fit up your asshole at the same time?

Gimme-
Well, yeah, it's over. So add me to the list.

"But then the 2012 campaign starts in nine days." Sarah's surely will. herm

USATRUEANDBLUE7, have you no shame?

"Proof ayers ghosted Obama's.....If he wins, we will have ... one who enjoyed the help of a washed up but unrepentant terrorist..." I guess that in EZ's book that's proof positive. I wonder which church he attends. herm

Pot, Kettle. Kettle, Pot.

"Obama spent $400K to visit his Grandma in HI. (Kessler: Newsmax.com). In comparison, Palin has been very frugal."

you're comparing a presidential entourage with clothing a vp candidate. that's way off the point.
one tale is that of the man losing a relative while the other is simply window dressing.
like john edwards' four hundred dollar haircut, this just stinks of self absorption and the selling of an attractive product.... and we all know she is that. and she has all the help that mccain can buy to keep her looking like that.
to the point...
www.ajc.com
a link to the story on palin's make-up was paid twenty two thousand dollars. if it's only half true, it's sad.

all the best.

Let's examine Takitez and NewsMax's claim (by an editorial writer) that $400K was spent on that Obama plane.

I fly frequently to China. I fly in 747 jets mostly.
The average occupancy on my flights has been 200-250, let's use the higher figure today. Airfare on those trips averaged $1050 (as of Jan 2008). At even 250 pax, the revenue is about $260,000. That's to fly from Dallas to Beijing...$25,000 miles round-trip and (if it were non-stop) 15.5 hours. Crew: 3 in the cockpit I think, and maybe 12 flight attendants.

That's $250K for a trip twice as long. So I must politely call "bullshit" on the claim that it takes $400K to fly to Hawaii and back, with less pax and half the miles and half the time.

It's seriously and deliriously over. Republicans will lose; the only question is by how much.

"Obama spent $400K to visit his Grandma in HI. (Kessler: Newsmax.com). In comparison, Palin has been very frugal."

Find one Obama donator that objects to him using our donations to see his grandmother. I know I sure approve of it.

hey takeitez, do you know which way the wind blows or do you need a weatherman to tell you?

Most were preceded by communiqus that provided evacuation warnings, along with statements regarding the particular matter which motivated the attack:

For the bombing of the United States Capitol on March 1, 1971, they issued a statement saying it was "in protest of the US invasion of Laos." For the bombing of The Pentagon on May 19, 1972, they stated it was "in retaliation for the US bombing raid in Hanoi." For the January 29, 1975 bombing of the Harry S Truman Building housing the United States Department of State, they stated it was "in response to escalation in Vietnam."

the ppl who started and fought Vietnam (some are arguably defendable) are war criminals, to greater and lesser degrees; just like those are today in Iraq and Afghanistan.

refuse to serve or desert. right takes courage.

The key is always to detect tendencies toward tyranny and suppress them before they go too far or become too firmly established. The people must never acquiesce in any violation of the Constitution. Failure to take corrective action early will only mean that more severe measures will have to be taken later, perhaps with the loss of life and the disruption of the society in ways from which recovery may take centuries.

John Mccain. 24 medals in 20 hours of bombings.

My favorite part of her comments about the clothes was her suggestion that they might be "returned" after the campaign. You could almost see the wheels turning in her head as she realized that was a pretty stupid (and kinda icky) idea and added that they might be given to charity.

$5,000 women's suits! Reduced!! Only worn eight or nine times!!!

You'd think not that I would even have to address the issue because, as Elisabeth is suggesting, the double standard here it's gosh, we don't even want to waste our time."

Someone ought to tell that bitch that her whining isn't doing women any good... you know... like she told Hillary when she commented on her experience with the double standard. Stupid bitch.

Niceville is Takitez.... I think

Obama is a great community organizer. Look how he has swayed you guys. You have turned into Obama's tools. He made a calling and you have blindly answered. His voice is your voice. Obama has done well.

Did your lover in Alaska take your clothes off in front of Todd sweety.

Niceville is Takitez.... I think

Then he must've had some major head trauma lately. Niceville was never this stupid.

I found you without your clothes on ALT.com

Niceville used to reference sites like world nut daily all the time but maybe there isn't a connection beyond that. Lokisfur was blindly partisan too but even he seemed to have a little more sense. Hmm it has to be somebody reincarnated but I can't seem to place it.

One good thing......Alaska will have its Govenor back November 5th, the non-ethical one that was goinng to clean Washington DC up. What a joke Mooseliini is!!!

But I am much more swayed by the prophetic words of John McCain who claims on a continual basis:

I know how to win wars !!
I know how to get Bin Laden !!
I know how to fix the Economy !!
I know how to solve the Health Care Problem !!
I know how to fix the national debt !!
I know how to cure AIDS !!
I know how to fix unwanted pregnancies !!
I Know how to cure ACNE !!!
I have a plan to stop adolescent bed wetting !!

And then John Clicked his heels together (3) times slpwly ...and just like that!!....JUST LIKE THAT !!...He fixed everything !!!

SORRY...John McCain has to be President before he does the (3) times clicking his heels together thing !!!

P.S. Please add the words "My FRIENDS" to all the above refernces to John McCains claims of "I KNOW HOW TO...."

Ok for the rich hoity toities on the Retort answer Me this. What makes a dress worth 300,000.00?? Is it the material it's made from?? Or is it who sews it together?? Or is it just simply some Hoity Toity designer made it so it's worth more?? Explain THAT one to Me.

Wow. It's a FOX News paradise - being able to begin an interview of a vice-presidential candidate with "What are you wearing?"

Yes, palin is answering all those questions.

"Wow. It's a FOX News paradise - being able to begin an interview of a vice-presidential candidate with "What are you wearing?"

I'm curious as to how you consider that to be a "fox news paradise." Democrats seem a lot more concerned with what Palin is wearing than Republicans do.

And republicans seem a lot more concerned with asking palin stupid questions than democrats do.

in Florida, Palin had 5,000 at her rally while Obama had 45,000. Palin can draw Obama style crowds by eliminating her wardrobe, just come out nude, that will do it!

Oh, poor poor Saint Sarah! Got caught with her hand in the GOP cookie jar.

Just like a GOPPER.

Good luck not letting the door hit you in the ass on your way back to Alaska. There has to be some more per diems she can extort out of the Alaska tax payers.

" I am wearing my own clothes, but this is not a Press Conference because I don't do those "

"... a FOX News paradise - begin an interview of a candidate with 'What are you wearing?'"

I wouldn't KNOW, mind you, but doesn't phone sex usually begin that way? herm

"I am wearing my own clothes, but this is not a Press Conference because I don't do those"

In the past two days alone, Palin has answered questions from her national press corps on three separate occasions. On Saturday, she held another plane availability, and on Sunday, she offered an impromptu press conference on the tarmac upon landing in Colorado Springs. A few minutes later, she answered even more questions from reporters during an off-the-record stop at a local ice cream shop.

By contrast, Biden hasn't held a press conference in more than a month, and Obama hasn't taken questions from his full traveling press corps since the end of September.

Try reading. If you know how.

How about they dress Palin up like Adrian in
Rocky I? Or, maybe a contemporary Moms Mabley.

Bob the Builder and Dora the Explorer just endorsed the McCaine Mutiny. Sam the Butcher from The Brady Bunch was not available for comment.

Yea, and it's been great, the stupidity has been flowing like wine.

"I wouldn't KNOW, mind you, but doesn't phone sex usually begin that way? herm"

Yep, followed closely by, "We got us a BAAAAAABE!"

I am back to wearing my own clothes from my favorite consignment shop in Anchorage, Alaska."

I am wearing my own, pre-owned, recyled clothes.

But in Tampa, Palin happily broached the clothing issue after being introduced by "The View" co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who accused Palin's opponents of being "fixated on her wardrobe" and "deliberately sexist."

You might have a point, Elisabeth, if much ado had not been made about John's haircuts and Hillary's pants suits.

To jump start his campaign, perhaps McCain can
wear Palin's 150K wardrobe. The TV vote is there for the taking.

What outfit will Palin wear when she pardons Ted Stevens?

Have any of you unfunny puds made any cracks about Rudy donning her clothing after she gets rid of it? If not, get to work...There's material there.

How about something see through?

"...by contrast, Biden hasn't held a press conference in more than a month, and Obama hasn't taken questions from his full traveling press corps since the end of September.
Try reading. If you know how."

but obama and biden both have a history of info that one can look upon and judge... to read, if you can.
palin doesn't.
where is it that one can read about palin's views?
there are plumbers who've answered a lot of questions but serious queries into palin's knowledge of our government's workings (what does the v.p. do?), foreign policy, how she views biblical history and so on... haven't been made available.
simply put, she's not been 'thru it' as biden, mccain and obama have.
that is the only point... we didn't know palin's name from miss march just months back.

all the best.

Pot, Kettle. Kettle, Pot.

I kinda like Toilet, Bathtub. Bathtub, Toilet.

Finally we have a VP type who truly did get her tit caught in a wringer.

TAKITEZ:
I'm still waiting for your response to my last two postings...

...or would you just concede you have no ideas or thoughts of your own that don't come from right-wing websites?

The Empress wears NO clothes...in my dreams!

Palin is awesome is an asset to the McCain campaign. Mister Statesman, Joe Biden, just keeps up one gaff after another hurting the Obama campaign everytime that botox injected head comes out from under its rock.

BOWA. Niceville. Peggy Noonan. Who else are you thinking?

Palin: I'm Wearing My Own Clothes

Palin/Plumber 2012!

The dream ticket!


Did McCain pick his running mate, or did he let Obama do it?

Palin has been a total disaster for McCain's campaign...

#3 | Posted by Alexandrite

Actually, she hasn't.

Many Republicans were on their way over to vote Democrat and Palin brought some of them back.

Be careful what you say...

She'll be back in 2012 and her campaign will be based on...

"Picking up the pieces"

Nice try at deflection UTASTAFF, as well as a laughable, idiotic lie.

Hey, I am wearing my own clothes too!!!

Palin is a real player. She also looks like she has a nice a** too!

Chick from the north! woohoo!

Palin: I'm Wearing My Own Clothes

Right now this thread has 95 posts.

I know if this headline instead had read:

"Palin: I'm Not Wearing Any Clothes"

There probably would have been 3,295 posts.

""Palin: I'm Not Wearing Any Clothes"

There probably would have been 3,295 posts.

That's the November surprise, Chris: Palin giving a speech topless.

Question for those on here supporting the McCain/Palin ticket --

I keep hearing on all the cable channels and talk radio stations (both right and left) that there is infighting within the McCain camp between Palin and the ones running McCain's campaign.

The reports say Palin is not going along with their suggestions, that the McCain campaign told her not to bring up the "clothes" subject anymore yet Palin continues to talk about it, and the McCain insiders feel Palin might be setting herself up for 2012 and looking only after her own interests.

I've heard this reported from people in McCain's campaign.

What's going on? Is Palin going off on her own 'cause she figures McCain probably won't win and she's looking after her own hide, or what?

Nulli

That's the November surprise, Chris: Palin giving a speech topless.

The way the McCain campaign seems to be sinking in the polls, I guess they'll have to try anything to win!

That's the November surprise, Chris: Palin giving a speech topless.
