Campbell Brown on Sexism and Sarah Palin
As the mother of an 8-month-old, CNN anchor Campbell Brown can relate to Gov. Sarah Palin. "I love the idea of a mother in the campaign and bringing some of those issues to the forefront," Brown told TVNewser this morning at the CNN Grill. But those issues, faced by millions of working mothers across the nation, have special significance for Palin and for Brown. As Palin campaigns, Brown reports, trying to find out more about the GOP VP nominee. Critics went after Brown Monday night after she pres

Republican Sacrificial Lambs Resort To Repeating Same Few Lines About Sarah Palin's Qualifications
Pity the poor spokesfolk sent to defend the beleaguered GOP ticket last evening in the wake of the Sarah Palin grandma story. Above, McCain flack Tucker Bounds gets absolutely hammered by Campbell Brown; below, watch James Carville tear apart unfortunate Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann. You almost feel sorry for these poor suckers. Almost. By Alex Balk   09/02/08 9:45 AM File Under: James Carville, John McCain, Politics, Sarah Palin, Trail Mix Comments (1) | Print

The Best Case Against Sarah Palin is Sarah Palin
Much has happened since John McCain selected Sarah Palin to be his Vice President, having chosen her after an extensive vetting process composed of… oh, I don’t know, picking her name out of a hat, perhaps, or a lively session of “Spin the Bottle” with all available candidates. Back in those days – the halcyon, innocent days of August 29 through 30 – I was merely insulted that John McCain had chosen to exploit the feminist optimism born of Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Lots of p

Readers Dump Us Mag Over Sarah Palin Cover
Us Weekly, which unlike People and OK!, chose a rather caustic cover line (“Babies, Lies and Scandal”) is said to have lost thousands of subscribers in just the first 24 hours following the printing of the issue. “I’m hearing it’s 5,000, maybe more,” says one well-placed source in the industry. Another source claimed that as many as 10,000 readers have already cancelled their subscriptions… Hype follows hype - 10,000? Source Share and Enjoy:

Oprah Blocks Having Sarah Palin on Show
Drudge is reporting that Oprah Winfrey is getting thousands of emails and requests to have Sarah Palin on her highly rated talk show.  However, Oprah is battling a divided staff and refusing to allow the Alaskan governor on her show because of her highly partisan support for Democratic candidate Barack Obama. Oprah’s staff is sharply divided on the merits of booking Sarah Palin, sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT. “Half of her staff really wants Sarah Palin on,” an insider explains. “

Sarah Palin Bikini Photo: Fake, But Hilarious
Not sure if you've heard, but a sexy and hilarious Sarah Palin bikini photo has been circulating online. It features the attractive, gun-toting governor of Alaska in a red, white and blue bikini. God Bless America, indeed!Great stuff. The dude in the background really makes it. Mmm, Schlitz.

As funny as it would be to see the Republi

Guess Who Barack Obama Will Use to Combat Sarah Palin?
Senator Barack Obama will increasingly lean on prominent Democratic women to undercut Gov. Sarah Palin and Senator John McCain, dispatching Senator Hillary Clinton to Florida on Monday and bolstering his plan to deploy female surrogates to battleground states, Obama advisers said Thursday. Clinton’s campaign event in Florida, her first for Obama since the Democratic convention, will serve as a counterpoint to the searing attacks and fresh burst of energy that Ms. Palin injected into the race with her c

Sarah Palin and The New-Clear Option
Over at the Politico, Jonathan Martin corrects a previous report by Erick Erickson on RedState.com that claimed Sarah Palin spoke off the cuff last night rather than reading from a teleprompter. Erickson says sources close to McCain told him that the teleprompter malfunctioned during Ms. Palin's speech and consequently forced her to improvise. We can confirm that that's false: like Martin, Media Mob was sitting in the press section and could see plainly that the teleprompter was working just fine. Funny t

Sarah Palin meets Photoshop
I can't even count how many readers have e-mailed me this picture of, what looks like, Governor Sarah Palin in a bikini brandishing a rifle. Allow me to set the record straight because, I shit you not, a ton of folks think this is real. (Smartest country ever!) It's photoshopped, people. How do I know? Simple: No one is that sexy. Also, the real Sarah Palin would've shot the guy behind her for smoking his cigarette like a homosexual. "BANG BANG! Not on my watch, Frenchie!"

Nina Garcia: Sarah Palin "Needs to Lose Those Glasses"
"Cindy is Oscar de la Renta — she is bright and bold," Garcia told Usmagazine.com Thursday at a NYC party for The Rachel Zoe Project. "Michelle is an elegant, Jackie O-type. She channels the 50s and 60s." As for vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin? "She has promise," Garcia said. "She just needs to loose those glasses. Get them lasered or something." Watch Palin's convention speech. Meanwhile, the new season of her Bravo hit is underway. How do the judges relax on the set? "We eat! We don't have fa

Jamie Lynn Spears Sent Sarah Palin’s Kid Nothing, Actually
You know those reports yesterday saying that Jamie Lynn Spears had sent Bristol Palin a bunch of baby gifts as a kindly reminder that she isn’t the only teenage girl to bring shame on her family by letting a redneck hump her without a condom until she got pregnant? Yeah, didn’t happen. Jamie Lynn Spears’ mother Lynne has denied the whole story. If that’s the case, poor old Bristol Palin. It’s one thing to illuminate the schism between Sarah Palin’s personal and professio

Sarah Palin People Magazine September 2008 Cover Photo & Interview
Republican Vice President candidate Sarah Palin speaks out about the day she learned her young son had Down syndrome in this week’s issue of People Magazine. Sarah, 43, gave birth to her fifth child, Trig, last April; she admits to being nervous about raising a child with special needs. “Not knowing in my own heart if I was going to be ready to embrace a child with special needs.

This Cover of 'Life' May Be The Closest You'll Ever Get To Tina Fey as Sarah Palin [Alternate Universes]
When we pointed out last week that potential veep candidate Sarah Palin bore a strong resemblance to Tina Fey as Liz Lemon (except for their stances on important social issues), never did we imagine the proof would come in the form of this Life cover from September 2004. Striking a remarkably similar pose to her current Rolling Stone spread (what is it with her and men with ties?), Fey needs little else besides an exotically named brood and a hilarious accent to complete her remarkably accurate Palin impres

Angry readers dump Us Magazine over Sarah Palin
Three celebrity weeklies — OK!, People and Us Weekly — featured Sarah Palin on their cover, but one of those magazines is reportedly losing subscribers because of it.

Gov. Sarah Palin's eBay plane claim
JUNEAU, Alaska -- When Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin sought to illustrate her frugality and flair to delegates at the GOP convention Wednesday, she described how she disposed of a corporate jet acquired by her unpopular predecessor. "That luxury jet was over the top," Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, said to loud cheers. "I put it on eBay." Palin's statement implied the plane was sold through the online auction site revered for empowering millions of small entrepreneurs, and Palin's spokeswoma

Sempre su Sarah Palin, che meraviglia di vicepresidente
Giuro che non infierirei, ma siccome continuano a chiamarla l’anti-Hilary, vediamo perchè lo è davvero, e in senso lusinghiero per la signora Clinton. Lunedì mattina la signora Sarah Palin e il marito Todd hanno dichiarato al mondo che la figlia 17 enne Bristol, non sposata, è incinta, e ha tutte le intenzioni di sposare quanto prima il padre del bambino. Solo che poi è venuto fuori che la figlia in questione non ci pensa nemmeno e parrebe avere rivelato lei la notizia ai giornale per mettere

Stoop Drinking is Still Illegal
The confusion about public drinking continues! It's illegal, but Bloomberg created a huge gray area when in 2003 he declared that wine consumption at Central Park concerts was a-okay. Now Brownstoner focuses in on stoop drinking after a Park Slope man received a $25 open container violation ticket for enjoying a brewskie "after Biden's speech" when a patrol car with an observant cop came by. The officer "explained that if I was behind a fence or gate I would be ok. Since we don't have a gate, the set-back

Is Bad Boy / Next Selection Trying to Mold Cassie into a “New Aaliyah” ?
Today marks the 7th anniversary of the untimely death of Aaliyah Haughton, a popular female R&B singer who had a music career spanning from the mid-nineties all the way up until the year 2001, when she was suddenly taken away from us due to a faulty airplane engine and an overloaded cabin. Ironically, a few days prior to today, a new video from Cassie was released. And within the first few seconds of watching the video I could point out elements of Aaliyah’s style right off. I didn’t even ha
