Eliza Dushku...she was in Bring it On, and something more respectable but I can't remember what.
I think the word "sexist" has come out of Republicans' mouths more in the past few weeks than in the entire history of the party combined. The hypocrisy of this is just killing me - when a female Democrat claims something is sexist, she's being "overly PC", and weak. Now, though, anyone who doesn't shower Sarah Palin with praise is sexist, and that's fine. Why wasn't it sexist to have a Hillary character say, "Stop saying I have cankles?" (which I thought was hysterical, but I digress...) Either the whole skit was sexist, or none of the skit was sexist. It can't be just one portrayal was sexist, but the other was fine. Personally? I thought the whole thing was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. But, then, I laugh at almost everything on SNL...except for some of Michael Phelps' skits...
Actually, if it was Obama's daughter, I'm pretty sure there would be about a gajillion sites pointing to the "dysfuncitonal African-American family". Instead, we have people saying, "Isn't it sweet that they're getting married, and doing the right [snort] thing?"
Did you all see who the guest host of SNL will be on Saturday? TINA FEY!!! Clearly someone in the heavens is on the side of all who love the political SNL.
I was thinking today about how all of this makes Sarah Palin look like a regular person, "like one of us". Despite the gazillion trillion different views, I would like to think both Sarah Palin and I are "regular people", and "just like everyone else." I know that I'm not qualified to be the VP; how does this make HER qualified to be the VP???
He and Sarah Palin will be great across the negotiating table from each other. Yip yip.
Okay, so not to be the totally compulsive math person who works with many native Spanish speaking children, but his number is actually "ochenta y cinco"...unless he's called "eight five" in English.
I know...let it go...prioritize...
Yes, I know that he was the mayor of NYC, not the Governor of NY State. However, the population of NYC is still 12 million people - not the metro NY area, but the city itself. The mayor is still the "executive" of the local government. I would contend that the executive experience gained as mayor of NYC is at least equal to the executive experience gained as governor of a 670,000 person state. Of course, I'm not sure either of those experiences really prepares you for being President of the United States, but that's a different question.
Okay, sorry, just one more post. Before yesterday, she and McCain had met EXACTLY ONCE in their lives, and that was six months ago. Here's where I become completely naive, but I would like to think that the President and Vice-President should know each other and should know that they can work together - look at the last bit of Clinton-Gore. You can't tell me that McCain knows Palin will be a good partner in all of this - she was chosen at least in part because of her gender, which I think is just as bad as NOT choosing someone - at least in part - because of her gender. I'm sure Obama and Biden aren't best buddies, hanging out together watching the Redskins or the Cubs or something, but at least we know they've passed each other in the hall and have a sense of how the other one works.
