Unrequited love

by Goldy — Thursday, 9/4/08, 10:45 am

Danny Westneat is smitten with Sarah Palin…

I liked her — despite all the tiresome culture-war derision she aimed at “elites.”

Too bad she hates you, Danny, and the rest of us Ivy League elitists, so good luck getting that interview you’re lusting after.

Who knew a Harvard degree would someday become a political liability?  I better send my daughter to the University of Idaho—or better yet, a two-year, unacredited Christian college—if I ever want her to have a career in politics.

    I’d much rather be hugged by Darcy than that bitch. Darcy is warm and soft. Palin is like one of those medieval iron contraptions that drive spikes through you when they shut the door — I believe they called them “Iron Maidens.”

    Hell, I just coined a phrase: Palin is the “Iron Maiden” — !

    2 Actually, a woman interviewed on TV at the McCain campaign office in Bellevue last night came up with a pretty good description: “A Sherman tank in high heels”.

    Who would you rather hug, a soft fluffy bunny, or an iron maiden?

    History has proven Danny Westneat not to be a very good barometer of the general public opinion. Besides, one can like or admire someone and still think they’re unfit for a particular job. I really like my local barista, but I don’t think I’d vote for him to be VP.

    The battles lines of the campaign are now sharply drawn: Obama is the candidate of national healing and reconciliaton, while the GOP has opted for attack politics and hard-right policies. Peggy Noonan is right, McCain blew his big opportunity, and it’s over.

    I am diappointed in all of you – I just searched the entire blog, and not one of you has revealed what we all know:

    Sarah Palin is Ellen Craswell’s secret love grandchild!

    I agree with Goldy. Hicks, country folk, the under-educated, etc., should all look up to and respect Ivy Leaguers, even when those same Ivy Leaguers belittle and mock them. They are very smart people, and deserve respect (as long as they are Democrats) no matter how they act.

    Joe Biden had a blue collar upbringing? He was white collar.

    Biden went to the most expensive prep school in Delaware.

    “The facts are there for anyone who wants to look at them. When Joe Biden Sr. died in 2002, his obituary in the News-Journal of Wilmington reported that when he married in 1941, “he was working as a sales representative for Amoco Oil Co. in Harrisburg.”

    It went on, “Biden also was an executive in a Boston-based company that supplied waterproof sealant for U.S. merchant marine ships built during World War II. After the war, he co-owned an airport and crop-dusting service on Long Island.” Upon moving his family to Delaware, the News-Journal said, Biden “worked in the state first as a sales manager for auto dealerships and later in real-estate condominium sales.”

    Executive, co-owner and manager? Those titles identify the jobholder as solidly middle class, if not better. They fall in the category of white-collar occupations, not blue-collar.

    And Biden Sr. clearly knew the difference. In his book, “Promises to Keep,” Biden writes that his father was “the most elegantly dressed, perfectly manicured, perfectly tailored car sales manager Wilmington had ever seen.””

    my my this is really personal

    I was a bright kid who never got any push to go to a four year college, University of Idaho would have been a real break

    this place has become a bunch of fucking boring snobs with little dicks

    Palin scored beyond all expectations, fact, beware Obama supporters – the train is roaring down the track

    AOL poll, 350,000 – 67 percent loved the speech, excellent –

    65 percent said yes the speech changed my opinion of her to much more positive –

    Keep calling her cunt and bitch – you might see yourself in the ads, interesting that the fiance of the daughter was there on stage, boy, smart media – “families deal with problems, come together and move on, all families” – way to handle the not issue of the day, pregnant 17 year old pretty daughter – get her married, move on

    I think you’re missing the point. Palin wouldn’t hate Westneat, because he’s not looking down his nose at her. Apparently you didn’t get it.
