Here is MSNBC's Keith Olbermann's Special Comment to Sarah Palin on Oct. 21st, when news of her shopping spree came to light and the liberals jumped on that shit quicker than a picture of Bill Ayers french-kissing John McCain.
"Here's your running mate Senator. This is the hockey mom, connected to the small towns where the real Americans are, struggling and scrimping on a clothing budget that's just $18,000 a week"
And while it's fine and dandy to make fun of Palin's X-treme makeover, this is the same Keith Olbermann that denounced Sean Hannity when the Fox News anchor chided John Edwards on his $400 haircut in 2007.
(Starts at :46)
That was a role reversal from spring 2007, when news broke that former Senator John Edwards had paid $400 for a haircut out of his Democratic presidential campaign account.
Mr. Olbermann named Mr. Hannity the “Worst Person in the World,†a running feature on his program, for making fun of Mr. Edwards' haircut and showing video of him styling his hair before an interview.
Mr. O’Reilly had said of Mr. Edwards at the time: “He runs around telling Americans the system is rigged, while paying $400 for a haircut. This guy is a one-man sitcom.â€
Okay, so the conservative pundits are hypocritical for defending Palin when they tore apart Edwards, but Olbermann says during this second segment that John Edward's ability to lead the country has nothing to do with how much he pays for a haircut. So by the account, neither should Sarah Palin's clothing budget. Let's not forget that John Edwards also ran under the platform of being a working class everyman, just like Palin, so it was no more or less acceptable for him to receive an expensive haircut than it was for her to receive an expensive expense account.
So let us focus on what's really wrong with Palin: not her ridiculous wardrobe or her resemblance to Tina Fey, but the fact that she is wholly unqualified for the position of vice president.

If that is what you feel, then Obama is more strongly disqualified to be President. It doesn't matter. If Obama is elected, he will not unify the country. If anything, the country will be more divided. It will pave the way for a conservative take over. Jimmy Carter did wonders for America. He gave us Ronald Regan.
Olbergoebbels is dumber than a box of hammers.
Stop talking bullshit!! The fact is that since 9/11 GWB and the Repukes have used nasty tactics to divide this ocuntry. Further, they used the guise of religion to give those fucking religious wingnuts more power than their puny brains could handle.
Obama has done more to unify this country than John McCain. Calling Obama "not one of us", "terrorist", "Muslim", "socialist", "Commie", etc surely didn't help bring folks from across the aisle.
So you would rather Grandpa senile and that hillbilly retard run our government? Are you stupid or just fucking stupid?
Seriously, we couldn't get any worst than GWB and now his twin with lipstick.
I say good riddance! Hopefully they put that Bible thumping Dinasaur back in the friggin basement where she belongs! Trust me, Ronald Regan was a said compared to these two (McCain - Palin) clowns!
oops, dinosaur..
And Regan was a "saint" compared!
Reagan was a "said" ?
