…or at least 1000+ of them do:
More than 950 requests for speeches have poured in for Palin, and over 120 candidates for office have asked her to appear, including folks running for Senate, House and state Legislature, aides said.
And that is months before her book comes out.
But I shouldn’t make anything out of it since all of these really smart people think Sarah Palin is stupid. Her supporters don’t read books they’re just fringe idiots.
We’ll see who is laughing come spring.
I guess this is Newsweek’s article to celebrate Sarah Palin Day.
Why does Newsweek have an article arguing that the word “Cunt” is losing its sting and should be “reclaimed?” I think it’s because our liberal friends discovered it during the 2008 campaign.
The article itself in unexciting but has this hilarious conclusion:
And even though I question our squeamishness about the C word, I don’t believe we’ll be using it willy-nilly, at least not anytime soon. Despite my secret affection for the term and the women who say it, I just can’t bring myself to type it out here—and not just because NEWSWEEK, a family brand, helps pay for my daughter’s expensive private school. It’s still just too powerful
Oh Kathy Kathy Kathy of course it will be used. Democrats and Liberals will have need of the term for 2012 or 2016 so the campaign to excuse it has to begin now.
And if you don’t believe that this will happen or that it was a common opinion among the left or even feminists on the left. Dr. Violet Socks can recite chapter and verse to remind and admonish you that respect is not only for women you agree with.
…well out of the mouth of a new graduate.
Because I have the greatest filial love for my alma mater, I write today as a sorrowful son and disappointed disciple. The Yale that cultivated my faith in the power of knowledge to move the world forward has resorted to censorship. I grieve.
As the News reports today, Yale decided this summer to omit cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad from a book about the fit of violence that swept the Muslim world in their wake four years ago. I can’t help but feel the dismay and embarrassment of a pupil watching his teacher sabotage the foundation of her credibility by betraying the spirit of her most important lesson.
That lesson, which singularly informs the work of a great university, is this: that free dialogue and the unfettered exchange of ideas fuels human progress. A great university is a place where these activities are protected and encouraged. But Yale forfeited this most basic role, pleading that it did not want to be responsible for tension that counterterrorism authorities speculate could still provoke protests and bloodshed.
(with apologies to Glenn Reynolds) You know they said that if I voted for George Bush Sarah Palin we would see censorship of art by religious zealots in this country. And they were right!
Allow me to demonstrate how it’s done.
My favorite of the cartoons
No Saudi money for me! And I could really use it.
Hey I hear the president’s supporters are hiring!
As usual Sarah Palin shows how something is done right:
I would like to extend our sympathies to the Kennedy family as we hear word about the passing of Senator Ted Kennedy. He believed in our country and fought passionately for his convictions.
Short correct and acknowledging potential disagreement without attacking it. Not a trace of politics.
