Palin is all Q.Q

[ephel]

How exactly does a sitting US president attention whore? all his speeches? you want less transparency then we already have? really?

By claiming he saved us from the second depression, you think this was sincere? Or was he trying to puff up his presidency. Like Bush flying in to "Mission Accomplished".

Who cares about Pailin being on tv? She is a public figure, was targeted on tv specifically, who used the media to talk about said tv show.

Transparency lul, is not going live to say how great your doing.

Do you know how politics work? I can give you a run down since I have quite a bit of experience in the inner workings.


The president is a politician above all else. He has to give the impression that he is getting stuff done or the public perception would be that he isn't doing much of anything. that is why if you go to ANY elected officials gov website or facebook page they often brag and exaggerate about shit they did/didn't do.


Public perception often becomes reality in politics. You stay ahead of the game long enough and are loud enough you can claim just about everything and people will believe it. See:Dick cheney taking credit for Iraq withdrawals even though he was against it.

It estimated that a member of congress has to make a little over 13 thousand a day to compete for reelection.

Calling the president an attention whore when the position itself deems itself necessary to be an attention whore is just silly.


egomaniacal on the other hand. You can make a case for that

Let me get this straight. I said all politicians are basically attention whores, then you ask me how Obama is an attention whore.

Then you describe examples of how politics work then say that is necessary to be an attention whore to be an effective politician. Isn't that what i said in first place.

I asked how the president can be called an attention whore when the job of the president is to visible and accountable to the fucking country.

An attention whore is someone who starves for attention because....its wants attention. following along here?

maybe I should have used 'attention whore' for you to catch the sarcasm

I hope these aren't her true colors, because if they are, she's a sleazeball and shouldn't be elected to public office.

Well, you know, she sort of took care of that for us.

I see your point now. Just see a difference in him going on tv to talk about what he is going to do, and in this case claiming to have done something that could be seen as exaggerated.

Missed your sarcasm, when you say "Calling the president an attention whore when the position itself deems itself necessary" i thought thats what you believed.

Freedom of Speech.

Satire and parody are protected speech.

Move on, Sarah.

Oh how I wish that were true.

[Gargoyle]

Thread got boring, but here's my take:

1. I'd prefer Olivian politics to Sarah Palin in any office, again, ever. (That would be Olivia Wilde and Olivia Munn in charge, I don't care how)
2. Barring #1, anarchy please. And I would be one of the first people to die as a result, but it seems to be the only way to make some meaningful change.

personally as a socialist I think we should set in place some sort of system to sterilize instances of mutation or chromosomal disorders so we can avoid this kind of nuisance and lack of productivity in society

I wonder what a good name for these government appointed medical panels would be...

obamacare happy happy fun duck duck goose time?

I just have to say, in that YouTube clip, I love the part right when Bill O'Reilly calls Seth MacFarlane a hater. They pull up Seth's picture to let all the viewers know who they're supposed to be angry at today, and he's just got the absolute smuggest, most shit-eating grin I've ever seen in my life.

hehe it's the 'cool face' look.

PROBLEM, O'REILLY?

[ZarakiKujata]

If you were reaping millions for 3 largely crappy shows would you not have same grin too?

Can't wait to hear him call Trigger Palin retarded on Bill Maher tomorrow.

To be fair, from those I know who have worked with him, he is a complete and total smug douchebag fuck.

He's pretty much exactly what you'd expect.

[ZarakiKujata]

I bet Bin Laden is still kicking himself that Seth ended up not being on the 9/11 flights out of Logan like he was supposed to be.

Trying to kill Seth was the real reason 9/11 happened.

Takes offense to Family guy, a satirical show, but Rush Limbaugh's satire is all in good fun. lulz.

Why do they still call her Governor by the way? She's not the a Gov. anymore... lol.

[Talint]

One person who supports the “Family Guy” staff is Andrea Fay Friedman, the 39-year-old actor and public speaker who played Ellen in that episode. Like the character, Ms. Friedman also has Down syndrome.

In an e-mail message sent on Thursday to The New York Times, Ms. Friedman wrote:

I guess former Governor Palin does not have a sense of humor. I thought the line “I am the daughter of the former governor of Alaska” was very funny. I think the word is “sarcasm.”

In my family we think laughing is good. My parents raised me to have a sense of humor and to live a normal life.

Getting owned by someone with Downs has to hurt.
