Hell hath no fury like a plain woman commenting on a pretty one.
But JW surpassed herself with her "Big" Board account of Sarah Palin's keynote address to the Tea Party Convention in Nashville last night.
Declaring Palin a narcissist (thank God JW isn't one), Salon must have stayed up all night to clip a shot of Palin in a snarky moment. JW lied about Palin's speaking fee, which Palin donated right back to the cause, and, of course, in true collectivist mode, denounced the concept of profit. She said that Palin misstated Obama's position on the stager of the Boxer Rebellion and terrorism as if Obama had one.
Smearing Palin as a careless speaker, Walsh failed to come up with a single grammatical or pronunciation lapse, while in the same breath ordering her Salon troops to stifle all comment on the genuinely scandalous and repeated mispronunciation of "corpsman" by our hapless Commander-in-Chief.

Palin wore a U.S./Israel pin. What's the problem? I would have preferred that the Union Jack be added, thus representing the three countries on the planet that most significantly espouse the basic tenets of private property, individual freedom and responsibility. But two out of three ain't bad.
Bush league stuff, man. ad hominemn is bad. ad bodiem and ad lookiem is stupid.
I get your general idea, which is stupid in the extreme, but unless it's successfully expressed in the language you choose to desecrate, I really can't deal with it.
You might consider buying my book, which can be purchased in rupees through www.clipkart.com
Your English is, regrettably, the least of your problems. But I love you anyway.
I'm willing to bet that most of the people who worship at the altar of Palin never even heard of her before September 2008. But this is what they've been given, so they have to try to make the most of it. It's kind of touching, in a really misguided way.
Even though, spelling, punctuation, and grammar are indeed my thing, I don't have time to correct the many errors above.
My original post was not about Joan Walsh's being plain. That goes without saying. I was positing the notion that JW's swarmy attack on Palin was to some extent motivated by jealousy.
I really can't comment on whether Elvira resembles Michelle P. I suspect, in her dreams.
In that case, you would be positing incorrectly.
But, please, go ahead and give us a list of women who are qualified, based on looks, to criticize Sarah Palin.
On your most recent slush, however, there are no fewer than three punctuation errors and one vocabularic mistake that is absolutely laughable. Don't try to play with the big boys.
How about a book or a play? My book can be purchased at www.gordonosmondbook.com and performance rights to my many plays can be purchased at www.productionscripts.com.
Where might I access your literary output, "Dr."?
Maybe you should ask the teabaggers who bitched and whined about the Mexican flag last year. Or did you conveniently for get that?
I'm also intrigued that the low-tech Palin used the old "cribnotes on the hand" technique rather than the teleprompter (which she also used)
Sarah Palin is a great speaker who happens to be pretty, but at least she and the Tea Party have a clue about the mess this country is in. The liberals gave us Hope and Change. Look where it got us, we are circling the drain while our government babysitters are out spending other people's money!
I did. They're still bitching and whining. I think that what bothered the members of the Tea Party is that it was a bit hypocritical for those seeking entry into the U.S. to wear emblems of the country they're dying to get out of.
Anyone who confuses the value of a post on its popularity is what Ayn Rand called a second-hand thinker. Second think somewhere else. You'll be deleted on my threads.
And as for being as good looking as Sarah Palin, well, I guess one can claim anything.
Gordon, I can't wait for the over the top reaction to the Tebow ad when these clowns actually get to see it. Should be a blast.
Now that we've got your English under control, we'll have to go to work on your politics and your notion that you look like Michelle Pfeiffer. We might also cast a glance back at ending a sentence with not one, but two, prepositions, as in "through and through."
Given her level of experience in public speaking, I don't think she would have thought it one of her better performances either. But yesterday she didn't have McCain's campaign speech writers to bolster her efforts as she did when she first came to national attention.
To the Pacino pal. I, also, know Al, and he says you're a bow-wow.
One more scatalogical comment by Billy boy, and he'll find himself in JdeM heaven.
This is how mind of a liberal works.
I'm pretty sure they don't get your post. They just need a reason to attack you. It's the liberal way.
By the way, pointing to what you perceive as bad behavior to justify your bad behavior, doesn't do you any good.
Even though Obama, like Capone, comes from the gun capital of the country, Palin comes from a place where people know how to use them for civilized purposes.
As for the pin and other hubub, let me make it simple for you: any criticism you have made of President Obama or Democrats ought to be, if you are fair-minded, levied equally against Palin and Republicans. While I respect your writing, and admire your occasional delusional state, you (and many other Palinistas) simply are not fair in your criticisms. Had Obama worn the flag of another nation, you would be criticizing him relentlessly, questioning his loyalty and intelligence, just as you do on his simple mistakes.
The the unfortunate "corpsman" mistake, for example: prouncing the word phonically (i.e., as it is spelled) is a common mistake, as so few Americans [even you?] have ever spent a day in uniform or even had direct contact with the military. Yet you and others deride this simple gaffe. Fair enough... except you are defensive about Palin's repeated gaffes, her obvious ignorance, and her failure to change any of that.
You lambast Obama for a mistake, then give Palin a pass for the very same or similar mistake. You say Obama's mistakes so him to be "out of touch," but you laud Palin's mistakes as giving her the "common touch" -- which is truly revealing, as it means you must think "common people" are poorly educated and lack the ability to speak in complete sentences... which may be true, but says a lot more about you than it does Obama.
The [sic] the unfortunate "corpsman" mistake, for example: prouncing the word phonically (i.e., as it is spelled) is a common mistake, as so few Americans [even you?] have ever spent a day in uniform or even had direct contact with the military."
I think the pin thing would depend upon the other country being represented, but maybe I'm being too context specific.
If Obama continues with his undergraduate foreign policies, we all may have increased exposure to the military.
God I hope so--lets bring back the draft! That will put a little skin on the table...

If ever you should be so bold as to consider becoming a real writer rather than a ghost one, you may want to work on the difference between "lets" and "let's" and between "ol'"and "o'l."
Read my book. You'll love the pictures.
