REPUBLICAN V P NOMINEE….SARAH PALIN’S “SAUSAGE” ….DAY 1…

QUOTATION OF THE DAY

“Hillary left 18 million cracks in the highest, hardest glass ceiling in America, but it turns out the women of America aren’t finished yet, and we can shatter that glass ceiling once and for all.” GOV. SARAH PALIN, of Alaska.

WELCOME FROM THE “BIG BOYS”……..

“Obama campaign highlights Palin’s ‘zero’ experience”

“Affirmative action….

Boykin, a graduate of Dartmouth and Harvard Law, was debating the selection with Republican Joe Watkins at the end of MSNBC’s 4 PM EDT hour. After some preliminary jousting, Boykin dropped his bomb.

KEITH BOYKIN Let me just say something about this choice. The reason why she doesn’t help, quite frankly, is because it’s an insult. It’s an insult to women. I spoke to several women today at the Democratic National Convention who said it’s insulting John McCain would pick somebody—an affirmative-action candidate basically—who is not qualified.”

“McCain’s Palin pick is the epitome of tokenism

Suddenly all anyone needs to qualify as a potential commander in chief is to be a religious ideologue with female gender characteristics?”

By Joe Conason

“Wexler: Palin a ‘far-right, pro-life zealot’”

“CNN: Hey, won’t Palin be neglecting her Down’s syndrome baby?”

“If she’s only on the ticket to try to get disaffected Clinton supporters to cross over, it’s a bad choice. Joe Biden may already be practicing his drop-dead line for the vice-presidential debate: “I know Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton is a friend of mine, and governor, you’re no Hillary Clinton.”

“Fasten your seat belts…..it’s going to be a bumpy ride!”….

Birdie: “What a story! Everything but the bloodhounds snappin’ at her rear end.”
