Sarah & the media

Posted on September 8, 2008 | Comments Off on Sarah & the media

The establishment media is whining, and Barry’s supporters are snickering, because Sarah is stiffing requests for interviews. It looks like ABC will get the first one. Big whoop. Mac and Sarah are being smart about this, slowly parceling out face time with the hottest player in this presidential election since, well, Barry himself, as it happens. It’s also a case of picking who you want to talk to. The latest edition of Newsmax.com, for instance, already has its exclusive interview. Heh.

The incomparable Treacher has a funny take on this, about Sarah avoiding such fading journalistic gems as Barbara Walters, who favors questions like, "If you were an igloo, what kind would you be?"

Sarah’s self-destruction?

Posted on September 8, 2008 | Comments Off on Sarah’s self-destruction?

That’s among the loopier ideas flowing into my OCS email group from the Barry supporters, of which there only seem to be four at the moment. One of them sees the odds of this startling event as 50/50. Perhaps the veteran Alaska politician is to be driven mad by the unsubstantiated rumors of the establishment media thugs? Another fellow is hearing buzz in his circles about "a coup and martial law," apparently to stop Barry from winning the White House.

So it goes, in what seems to be the beginnings of a goofy reprise of the Dem paranoia of 2004, when "I still have the hat" Kerry came under effective video fire from the POWs and Swiftboaters. This time, Mac the old fighter pilot, has outturned their jet by picking a fresh-but-tough young governor to compete with their tired-old-dog of a veep, strafed their canopy, and popped off an AIM-9 into their six.

For the moment the polls agree, showing Mac and Sarah ten points ahead. Can it last? I think so. Barry never had much going for him but excitement and Sarah’s stolen that from under his nose. Is it too late for the Dems to avoid derangement by learning some respect? Time will tell.

UPDATE: FWIW, Gallup is still finding a boost for Mac–now with a fifteen percent climb to take a majority of Independents.

Sarah (hearts) Israel

Posted on September 7, 2008 | Comments Off on Sarah (hearts) Israel

And one Israeli filmmaker who knows her returns the compliment:

"’Sarah Palin is a very special woman. She has a tranquility about her, no matter what the situation is,’ is how Elan Frank, a California-based Israeli filmmaker, chooses to describe the Republican Party’s newly chosen vice-presidential hopeful."

This YNet News piece unfortunately repeats the lie about her once supporting anti-Israel pol Pat Buchanan who, by the way, has actually endorsed Obambi.

Sarah rumor debunking

Posted on September 7, 2008 | Comments Off on Sarah rumor debunking

Actually it says there that it’s Palin Rumors Explorations, but it pretty much accomplishes debunking. Considering that we have nine weeks to go before the election and Obambi and his overpaid and unscrupulous backers in the establishment media are highly unlikely to give up without a fierce fight, the smears are only likely to increase. Making the site a pretty good antidote for the latest obnoxious claim. There are sixty-six of them there so far. On the mildly naughty side, it is fetching to know that "it appears that she has a Big Dipper tattooed on her ankle." The Big Dipper is Alaska’s symbol, you know.

MORE:  Even Obambi’s campaign site was getting into the smears. Not surprising since she has stolen his excitement (what else has he got) and Mac has stolen his message of hope and change.

Boycott Oprah?

Posted on September 6, 2008 | Comments Off on Boycott Oprah?

That’s the word from some of her fan base who are–one-hundred-nine (and counting) pages worth of mostly complaints here–incensed at the queen of tears’ decision not to invite Sarah to her crying couch, like she did with Obambi before she endorsed him. Although Sarah is much too upbeat for Oprah’s trademark tears and whining. See what messin’ in politics can do for you, Oprah? Cost you money and credibility, that’s what. There’s even a petition to the gal from Kosciusko, MS.

Sarah drawing crowds

Posted on September 6, 2008 | Comments Off on Sarah drawing crowds

It’s not a surprise, but it’s nice to see confirmed what Sarah’s common touch means: that many women see themselves in her and want her in the White House. This piece sums it up very well, despite the reporter’s inevitable digs at Mac, the man who made it possible by choosing her.
