A quote from the interview in this months “vanity Fair
by Cher about Ms Palin “a dumb woman is …a dumb woman”She got that right!
@ 9:32 am on November 11, 2010
Big kick out of you filing that under “Enemy List.”
@ 9:36 am on November 11, 2010
Cher, BTW, dropped out of school at 16.

Well then, Obama’s Seat, maybe you’d be happier with the thoughts of a vietnam war hero, captain of industry, and world champion ping pong player…
Stupid is as stupid does.
@ 9:58 am on November 11, 2010
Love the mouseover. Nice touch.
@ 10:02 am on November 11, 2010
She’s consistent if nothing. Never lets the facts get in the way of a good-sounding lie. As to RP, he’s just trying to sell books and look pretty.
@ 10:04 am on November 11, 2010
Aw. Someone’s still got the butt-hurt from Tuesday last week.

@Trey: Me? Nah, I feel okay. Pretty awesome, actually. That said, I would post this if there were Ds by the name of everyone in Congress.

Life is like a box of congressional shellackings…

@Obama’s Seat: I promise you, the two have nothing to do with each other. Do I wish it went the other way? Sure. But Palin is an entirely different subject.
@ 10:20 am on November 11, 2010
I seriously hope that she is on the presidential ticket in ‘12 — whether as a Republican or as an independent. Leave it at that.
@ 10:21 am on November 11, 2010
I think with Palin, there is a very straight forward litmus test: Does acceptance of her views result in a loss of knowledge?
According to the DMN report, Palin believes an executive order is nonbinding. How can Palin, or anyone else for that matter, set about changing the law to hew to their point of view if there is an absence of rudimentary understanding of the legal framework currently in place?

Sarah Palin is anti-industry.

@Laray.
Obama: “…no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions…”
News Item: “The Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) is providing $160 million to the State of Pennsylvania to set up a new high-risk insurance pool program that will include plans that have access to abortions, as part of a larger $5 billion commitment of taxpayer funds that will include abortion coverage for over 400,000 people nationwide.”
The EO was BS, Palin is right.

Dear Frontburner: I like you much better when you avoid partisan bickering. It really harshes my mellow when my beloved local blog becomes a hate fest on either side. I know Palin was in town with Perry, so it’s indeed a local story. But I don’t read D Magazine for its political coverage (read: pontificating). My two cents.
@ 12:18 pm on November 11, 2010
@Zac–No Nazi references this week? You really are falling into Sarah Palin’s thrall…
@ 12:31 pm on November 11, 2010
@B.L. Powell: Fair enough.
@ 12:34 pm on November 11, 2010
@Obama’s Seat:
Correlation is not causality. By that argument anything that does not expressly disallow abortions becomes an abortion enabler. So using that argument, is the passage of the new wet/dry law in Dallas a gigantic pro-drunk-driving advance? Only in politics can you throw away logic when the subject is not to your liking.
@ 1:19 pm on November 11, 2010
Also, google that whole “news” item. It’s been debunked 100 times.
@ 1:29 pm on November 11, 2010
So as not to burden B.L. Powell’s longing for non-political discussion on Frontburner, I will respond to OS’ comment with the utmost brevity.
Has it happened? Are abortions currently being federally funded under the Pennsylvania high-risk insurance pool program? If so, then the EO is being violated.
@ 1:33 pm on November 11, 2010
Sarah Palin, like platinum, is a catalyst. With her in the mix you can win a Mark Twain Award for a body of work thinner than your ankle. Without her, you’re no Jon Stewart.
@ 1:52 pm on November 11, 2010
You are falling right into the Palin trap and she loves it. I agree with B.L. Powell, enough of the either side bickering posts Zac, let’s have some more upbeat shenanigan threads filled with pictures of you guys on bikes or wearing uber trendy shirts with patterns and cuffs(my personal favorite thread).
@ 2:15 pm on November 11, 2010
@Avid Reader: Okay, but that means I have to buy some new shirts.
@ 2:19 pm on November 11, 2010
@Bill7
“Debunked”? Hardly. More like “forced to clarify” the original language after the inititial press releases correctly identified the contradiction.
Rick and Sarah remind me of that cheerleading couple on SNl played by Will Ferrell and Cheri Oteri. I hope she ended the pep rally with a round off into the splits. Two Four Six Eight, Aborted babies, we do hate.
@ 5:34 pm on November 11, 2010
Admit it. You miss me.
@ 8:51 pm on November 11, 2010
I miss you Eric. I miss me, too. And Zac will always have a hug as long as I’ve got these arms.
@ 7:50 am on November 12, 2010
Palin; the fruitcake arrived in Dallas just in time for Christmas. Just as I always remember it being-hard and dry on the outside and difficult to swallow.
