Didn't the Palins look pissed last night.

[madaboutharry]

Am I the only one who thought they looked pissed off, and not only about losing the election.
Todd Palin looked especially pissed off about something. I think they were dissed badly.

[marylanddem]

1. We can only pray that they decide to bitch about whatever it was

[GreenPartyVoter]

3. A nice juicy tell-all book.. that utterly ruins her chances in politics ever again.

[PearliePoo2]

22. Yeah...A Really Nifty Little ol' book by, oh..let's see.......

Kitty Kelley. Yeah...that's it!

[GreenPartyVoter]

24. GMTA

[PearliePoo2]

43. What's GMTA?

:shrug:

[GreenPartyVoter]

50. Great minds think alike :^)

[PearliePoo2]

56. thanks!

:hi:

[GreenPartyVoter]

58. Any time. *wave*

[SharonAnn]

71. Palin wasn't permitted to speak at the event. I think they felt dissed.

[WritersBlock]

2. Yep. If looks could kill, John McCain would have been in real trouble from Tawd last night.

Gee, wonder what that was about.

:)

[marylanddem]

6. I read that the McCain people nixed her desire to talk

Can't you imagine the blubbery b.s. that would have spewed from her big mouth?

[Mike Daniels]

32. Probably one of the smartest moves of the campaign

If they had limited her talking even more McCain may have pulled the election off.

[votetastic]

39. That surprised me, because I never remember

`the vp candidate also giving a concession speech. Heck, Biden didn't even speak last night as the winning vp.

[stopbush]

4. Sarah looked shocked. She actually thought she was going to win.

Delusional.

[lapfog_1]

9. God had prepared a way for her.

and God let her down. That's a real hard thing to understand for someone like her.

[Matariki]

61. Oh that's right. She was 'a present day Esther'

:rofl:

[JuniperLea]

10. That's exactly what I said last night!

She looked like she was going to burst into tears! I started yellin, cry! Cry, baby, cry! I just came out of me! I had no control! Then I said to my b/f... she is shocked as hell that she didn't win! She blew so much wind up her own skirt, she seriously thought she was going to win!

[bumblebee1]

78. If enough wind blew up her skirt,

the Russians would have to worry about Ms Palin rearing her head in Russian air space.

[Virginia Dare]

14. I think so too, nobody leveled with her about their chances..

or maybe they did and she was too stupid to listen.

[treestar]

34. I recall something about the campaign shielding her from the media

Must be she only heard those right wing blowhards toward the end, still seeing a McCrypt path to victory.

[Raschel]

46. She thought she was going to win, right up to the last minute! That makes it even better! lol

[City Lights]

54. I agree. Shows she's even dumber than we thought. nt

[randr]

5. She smiled that smirky smile when the crowd booed.

[cjsmom44]

7. I SAW THAT !!!!!

I thought I might have been seeing things...but she did smile a sort of smirk...when the crown booed...She was pissed that McCain Muzzled her ....

[FSogol]

8. The booing was pretty funny. Stay classy until the end, Repubs. n/t

[Robb]

36. That's almost exactly what I said aloud at that moment

Classy bunch. :eyes:

[TheDonkey]

11. Her eyes were teared up, she looked like she had been crying or sometime

I loved it. :evil:

[BrotherBuzz]

38. What are you wearing today?

I understood Palin was going to field dress a donkey today. ;)

[TheDonkey]

12. dupe

nm

[liberalmuse]

13. I barely looked at them...

I saw Palin's tears and rather than being moved, I was profoundly disgusted.

[TomInTib]

15. Here's why....

Go to the bottom of the article, last paragraph.

[Zookeeper]

69. So, Palin was greedy. What could be more Rethuglican? n/t

[enough]

16. McCain's handshake with Todd Palin was more insulting than if he had not acknowledged him at all.

He was turning away from Todd almost before he put out his hand.

They were both dissed badly.

[Vanje]

17. Its hard to go back to Wasilla ,....

....after believing they were the King and Queen of America, its hard to go back to being King and Queen of Alaska.

Alaska is dark. And muddy.
All those nice new clothes from Nieman Marcus dont really fit in up there.

I wrote a Haiku

In a little pond
Small fishes are discontent
In their bright new clothes

[juno jones]

42. I love the haiku. n/t

[RockaFowler]

18. Todd looked even more pissed than usual

I think the guy needs some bran flakes.

There was no "love" at all between the McCains and the Palins. Todd didn't look at John. He barely shook his hand. Cindy didn't say anything or look at the Palins at all. Wow, if looks could kill.

[Zookeeper]

70. Todd is the kind of guy I want kept as far as possible from....

any decisions that will affect me and my family.

[zulchzulu]

19. Who cares... but...

I kind of wish Sarah had given a really goofy swan song speech before McBlinky came on to concede. Chances are it would have been more comedy gold.

[foo_bar]

20. McCain dissed her on stage, "her future service to Alaska"

Even though she's technically governor, it didn't come off as a sterling testimonial (and she seemed to grimace sotto voce to T.P.). I think she wanted to whip em up with a "Don't Cry For Me" beer-hall-putsch type speech and she was denied for McCain's angstrom of posterity.

[maseman]

21. Maybe the old mavrik told the young mavriks

"Stay the fuck out of my way on stage and keep your mouths shut." Then he walked out in front of the crowd.

[codjh9]

23. I'm Soooooooo sorry for them, bwahahahahahahahahahahhaa

[trueblue2007]

25. Palin asked to speak and THEY TOLD HER NO!!!!!!

She spent TENS OF THOUSANDS MORE that has been reported. She went "nuts" buying stuff for her husband and now they are reporting those clothing items are "lost". She wanted to speak last night and they told her NO!!!





http://www.newsweek.com/id/167581/page/1

NEWSWEEK has also learned that Palin's shopping spree at high-end department stores was more extensive than previously reported. While publicly supporting Palin, McCain's top advisers privately fumed at what they regarded as her outrageous profligacy. One senior aide said that Nicolle Wallace had told Palin to buy three suits for the convention and hire a stylist. But instead, the vice presidential nominee began buying for herself and her family—clothes and accessories from top stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus. According to two knowledgeable sources, a vast majority of the clothes were bought by a wealthy donor, who was shocked when he got the bill. Palin also used low-level staffers to buy some of the clothes on their credit cards. The McCain campaign found out last week when the aides sought reimbursement. One aide estimated that she spent "tens of thousands" more than the reported $150,000, and that $20,000 to $40,000 went to buy clothes for her husband. Some articles of clothing have apparently been lost.

An angry aide characterized the shopping spree as "Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast," and said the truth will eventually come out when the Republican Party audits its books.

McCain himself rarely spoke to Palin during the campaign, and aides kept him in the dark about the details of her spending on clothes because they were sure he would be offended. Palin asked to speak along with McCain at his Arizona concession speech Tuesday night, but campaign strategist Steve Schmidt vetoed the request.

[VaYallaDawg]

29. I was kinda hopin' she'd add to the SNL stuff, don'cha know?

Wasilla hillbillies - that's a good one!!!
:rofl:

[sad sally]

52. Did anybody look for those lost items in "the belly of the plane?"

wait! I think the plane ate them!!

[hisownpetard]

74. No - they're in Trig's diaper bag!!!

[bumblebee1]

79. McCain being offended about the spending?

It was more like he would be pissed instead of spending. Say what you want about Cindy McCain, at least she spent her own money on clothes. She didn't expect the Republican Party to reimburse her. I do have two questions though: How do you lose thousands of dollars worth of clothing? How do you have a Presidential ticket in which the candidates rarely speak to each other?

[glitch]

26. They probably expected to launch their 2012 run with a dazzling speech.

But instead McCain got to bow out gracefully, now how on earth does God expect that to help our miss Sarah?

[Cha]

27. Maybe this..

Finally, Steve Schmidt (who reportedly picked Palin as VP) would not let her speak on election night.

[SweetieD]

28. oh snap. now the 150,000 clothes story is starting to make more sense. wow.

[dancingme]

30. she spent the last 2 months in a bubble of freepers

she never spoke to people who were not hard core right wingers. She had no idea that the people she was talking to represented only 20% of the American voters.

[Batgirl]

31. It was reported that she believed McCain's staff botched their handling of her

and that their incompetence led to her negative reviews, esp. after the Couric debacle. And that supposedly that's why she went all "rogue" on the campaign trail, thinking she possessed enough magical star power to make everyone love her.

Her narcissism will never allow for soul searching, self blame or self criticism for how she conducted herself. She will never formulate any self awareness of how the more she put herself out there, the more the sane majority was turned off by her vapidness and her appeal to hatefulness.

In other words, it will always be someone else's fault. I'm sure that she and Tawd are convinced that McCain was an albatross around THEIR necks and that if not for him they would be reaping the glory they so richly deserve.

[PearliePoo2]

40. yours is a great post....

Narcissist.
Exactly.
Look up the word in the dictionary and McWolfKiller's picture is there, winking.

[cayuga]

67. She is a classic narcissist.

Exactly like someone I used to work with. Needing constant approval, stemming from deep self-doubt. Narcissists will do anything to get approval, especially throwing others to the wolves so they look good. Narcissists don't think they are ever good enough, contrary to what our perception of 'narcissist' is.

[Number23]

77. Great post. And true as hell

I'm sure that she and Tawd are convinced that McCain was an albatross around THEIR necks and that if not for him they would be reaping the glory they so richly deserve.

She apparently came to believe the hateful rhetoric coming from her own campaign rallies -- that she was Esther, a Republican savior, and that Obama was a terrorist who didn't love his country etc. It's too bad that the lessons from this entire experience will go right over her empty head.

[hvn_nbr_2]

33. She thought she was going to get to bring Jesus back

All she was going to have to do was poison McCain and then start Armageddon.

But Wimpy Old Nospice didn't rally the nutjobs enough to win the election, and now Bible Spice has to wait till 2012 to bring on the Rapture.

[benld74]

35. They have to pay taxes on EVERYTHING provided to them by the GOP

[Left Is Write]

37. She's probably mad at God. She said He would do the right thing on election day -

and she's pissed that it isn't what SHE wanted!

[southernyankeebelle]

41. To bad so sad

They were pissed. She wanted to give her little speech after McCain and his aid said NO. What the difference between a pit bull and sarah palin? According to McCain he said "at least the pit bull will let go". How is that dishing. He was very upset with the pit bull. The next few weeks we shall be hearing more.

[JNelson6563]

44. Yep, it was great!

Now they have to find another way to keep this gravy train goin'. :rofl:

Julie

[Kali]

45. any still shots?

slow dial up and no teevee, although that might be worth waiting for a vid to load }(

[road2000]

47. I found two things strange.

The camera never showed her face till near the end. And after McSame finished, he turned to her and the First Dud, acted as if he'd get a disease if he touched them, then seemed to forget Cindy was there at all. I thought he was going to walk past her. Must have been furious at having them on-stage with him. Cindy was probably on the receiving end of a few choice expletives last night, prompted, no doubt, by the crux of his failure rearing her head right behind him.

[mscuedawg]

66. We commented on that last night too...I figured she had been bawling

...and didnt want to be seen...then they showed her.

[Eric J in MN]

48. I thought Sarah Palin looked sad, not angry. NT

NT

[TexasObserver]

49. Pissed because they didn't get to talk, and had to stand there.

[ratherunique]

51. todd looked like he wanted to tomahawk chop mccain

[Empowerer]

53. They looked like they'd drunk their own kool-aid

And believed they really were destined to win. They really looked stunned.

[City Lights]

55. I didn't see Tawd's toothy grin last night. He really loved being in the spotlight,

waving at the crowd and signing autographs. Oh well, Tawd, your 15 minutes are up. You and yours are about to turn back into mice and pumpkins.

[and-justice-for-all]

57. Dont care...

they can crawl back under their rock now...C-YA!

[Phx_Dem]

59. Good riddance. Get the hell back to Alaska, and stay there!

[Matariki]

60. Palin wasn't allowed to speak at McCain's concession speech.

"Palin asked to speak along with McCain at his Arizona concession speech Tuesday night, but campaign strategist Steve Schmidt vetoed the request."

http://www.newsweek.com/id/167581/page/1

She probably wanted the opportunity for opportunist reasons.

[SoCalDem]

62. Naaw.. he's just eager to get back to snow machine racin', commercial fishin'

oil slope workin' & home schoolin'...Oh ...and runnin' Alaska from Sarah's office..

[Whisp]

63. Dana Bash from CNN said Palin was just hanging out in her hotel lobby...

I'm guessing she was just waiting for some attention.
she did talk to Bash for a bit, but I picture this pathetic person who has just gotten used to liking the cheering crowds and an unlimited clothes budge all of a sudden being ignored and not liking it very much.

sounded really sad - if she was anything like a human being I would feel for her.

[cayuga]

64. Fox news - "McCain aides talking - Sarah was a bitch!:.

Fox just reported that McCain aides are now telling all. She was a screamer and demanding. They held back so not to hurt the campaign. Wonder what else will eventually validate what we already knew. The freepers will now know what we did from the start.

[GreenEyedLefty]

65. Boo hoo....

Although, I think they were not only dissed but used. But, that's the way of the GOP... the party of the narcissist and the sociopath, the party that stops at nothing to take, keep and abuse power. If they couldn't see that they were tools (in every sense of the word), that were merely used, just as they had done in their climb to the top of the Republican dungheap of Alaska politics - if they were that dense, oh well! I don't feel the least bit sorry for them. I'm sure Sarah will get a cushy gig on teevee somewhere and stupid Tawd will race his idiot snowmachines. Big fuckin' whoop. I'm glad to be rid of them.

[demo dutch]

68. She asked to speak and was turned down

[Vinca]

72. The books coming out of this campaign will be priceless. nt

[mokawanis]

73. She looked defeated and about ready to cry

I absolutely enjoyed the moment.

[MtUpWithWngsAsEgles]

75. Tradition has it that...

only the presidential nominee gives a concession speech. I think she wanted to speak to the crowd. Most of them were there for her anyway.

[crossroads]

76. Who the hell are the Palins???

:sarcasm:
