Reuters "Reports" Sarah Palin's Speech Before She Gives It [Journalismism]
Presumably, Reuters's coverage of the forthcoming Republican convention address by Sarah Palin is based on a pre-distributed written version of the speech, and that's why the report at left was posted at least an hour ago. But shouldn't the future tense be employed, or a dislaimer be included, given that the speech hasn't, you know, occurred yet? Wrote the newswire of John McCain's running mate: "Sarah Palin touted her small-town roots and swiped at Democrat Barack Obama during a highly anticipated speech t

Sarah Palin: ‘I Was Just Your Average Hockey Mom’
Alaska Governor Sarah Palin delivered a hotly awaited speech Wednesday night to accept the Republican nomination for Vice President. The speech also served as her introduction to most of the voters of America. Presidential Candidate John McCain joined Palin onstage at the end of the speech and said some impromptu words himself. "What a beautiful family," he commented on Palin and her husband and five children onstage. Palin's unwed pregnant 17-year-old daughter Bristol stood onstage holding hand

Sarah Palin May Be Broke, But She’s Not Flat Busted (or Chested)
This t-shirt from Sarah Palin flaunts her chest saying “I May Be Broke, But I’m Not Flat Busted” Yes, Sarah, we know. And we’re so glad that you’ve come along to spice this political season up a bit.

Liveblogging Sarah Palin's Acceptance Speech [Rnc Diaries]
Sarah Palin is taking the stage tonight to give the most important speech of her political career. And if the shouting crowds (and my utter lack of a internet connection as I type this) are anything to go by, there's not going to be an Eagleton moment. Anyway, it seems like I'll apparently be posting this after it's over, what with the complete lack of internet access that started when she took the stage, but that's the way the Internet crumbles. (UPDATE: A hard restart, um, restarted my modem!) 1

Palin Had Affair, Says Enquirer [Journalismism]
Just as Sarah Palin was preparing to speak at the Republican convention in St. Paul (more on that momentarily), word bubbled up that the National Enquirer alleged in its print edition that John McCain's running mate had an affair with a business partner to her husband. With the sensational charge, the supermarket tabloid is gambling the measure of respect it has earned from more buttoned-down media in the wake of its reporting on John Edwards's affair with a campaign staffer, which was partially admitted to

POLITICS: REP VP NOMINEE GOV. SARAH PALIN
I usually don't comment on political issues unless in private settings and intimate debates. On August 29, 2008, I watched John McCain showboat Alaska's Governor Sarah Palin around like new prize he had just won. Like everyone else, I was like "Who is this again"???This is the first election I really have paid attention too. Barack Obama will do that to you. LOL!!! I found out that I do have an opinion about Govenor Palin.The only problem I have with this lady is why would she want to take this job with all

And Now, A Word on Sarah Palin From Noted Political Pundit Lindsay Lohan
While all of Hollywood waits with bated breath to hear the reaction to VP pick Sarah Palin from the only actress who matters — her doppleganger, Tina Fey — headline-friendly Lindsay Lohan has decided to wade into the political waters, spouting off her own, unsolicited thoughts on the matter from her Myspace celebrity blog. Now that Palin has revealed that her 17-year-old daughter Bristol is pregnant, she's become fair game for the Us Weekly set (indeed, she's snagged that cover as well as the fr

Sarah Palin, and Tall
I expect that quite a few of you - especially the many Alaskan readers of this blog - will recall with fondness the 1991 made-for-TV movie Sarah Palin, and Tall, in which Glenn Close played the feisty frontier housewife, Sarah, and Christopher Walken played her creepy husband, "Tall." Not to mention its two sequels, Skylark (1993) and Sarah Palin, and Tall: Winter’s End (1999). The latter, if I remember correctly, had something to do with global warming. Wait a minute — I have just been info

Liveblogging Famous Historical War Leader Sarah Palin at the RNC
Guess who hasn’t been mentioned at all tonight? America’s favorite president, George W. Bush Junior! It’s as if Republicans haven’t held the White House for the past eight years. Who can remember that far back? So let’s welcome the new Geraldine Ferraro, “Barracuda Sarah” Palin — her own sister just called her that, on CNN — as she squeaks through a speech destined to give John McCain the SURGE he needs to finish this campaign as a complete sell-out lose

PALIN ACCEPTS, THE CROWD GOES WILD

Sarah Palin Affair?
Of course, we must consider the source of this allegation that Sarah Palin had an affair. The National Enquirer, supermarket tabloid extraordinaire, alleges that Palin had an affair with her husband’s business partner. McCain adviser Steve Schmidt said earlier today: “The smearing of the Palin family must end. The allegations contained on the cover of the National Enquirer insinuating that Gov. Palin had an extramarital affair are categorically false. It is a vicious lie.” The McCain camp

Did Palin Contemplate Book Banning?
Many parents have taught their kids all the right things and still become grandparents too early. Teenagers are not the best at thinking about the long-term consequences of their actions. That really goes a long way towards making Palin more human and less politician. She’s dealing with a real American issue many families go through. Unlike foreign policy, the plight of spotted owls or a number of issues the everyday person will never really be affected by this is something we can wrap our minds arou

Palin Mocks Obama; McCain Claims Nomination
Claiming her historic spot on the Republican ticket, vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin uncorked a slashing attack on Barack Obama Wednesday night and vowed to help John McCain bring real change to Washington. "Victory in Iraq is finally in sight; he wants to forfeit," she said of the Democratic presidential nominee. "Al-Qaida terrorists still plot to inflict catastrophic harm on America; he's worried that someone won't read them their rights. "Government is too big; he wants to grow it."

Dr. Laura has something to say!
I am extremely disappointed in the choice of Sarah Palin as the Vice Presidential candidate of the Republican Party. I will still vote for Senator McCain, because I am very concerned about having a fundamental leftist, especially one who is a marvelous orator, as President. At first, I thought it amusing that McCain picked a pretty, smart, and tough female to counter the racist/sexist accusations going back and forth between parties. I remember how Oprah Winfrey got caught in the cross-fire as she step
