The Jawa Report — August 30, 2008 Camille Paglia : Sarah Palin is "Tough as Nails" “We may be seeing the first woman president.

It’s only words
Belmont Club — ... The only thing worse than a deeply politicized and partisan war is a deeply politicized and partisan commander. But we now know whose side Petraeus seems to be on: Cheney’s. Expect spin, not truth, in September. If men who have hammers see every problem as a nail , pundits can have the understandable tendency to see everything, including war, as spin, spin and more spin. Reality becomes its representation, or rather, its misrepresentation. Sound and fury come to signify everything. Camille Paglia is impressed by Sarah Palin, but for the wrong ...

Best Speech Ever by an American Woman Politician
GayPatriot — So says Democrat and Obama supporter Camille Paglia of Sarah Palin’s debut on the national stage: We may be seeing the first woman president. As a Democrat, I am reeling. . . . That was the best political speech I have ever seen delivered by an American woman politician.

Pirate's Cove — ... - sometimes for years and decades - and it is too difficult, and expensive, for people to come legally, some for a long visit, some because they want to be citizens. Coupled with continued increase enforcement, and, in particular, targeting those who hire illegals. More focus has been placed on the employers, and, illegals are often leaving because there are no jobs. Illegal alien sympathizes will probably complain about that, too.

Britain's View of Palin
Wizbang — The UK Times Online has a piece today about Sarah Palin that is far more objective than then American media's reporting: When Sarah Palin stepped into the spotlight as John McCain's running mate in Dayton, Ohio, and promised that women could "shatter that glass ceiling once and for all", it was an electrifying moment in a presidential election that had already produced its share of upsets and surprises. History was on the march again the morning after Barack Obama became the first African-American to accept his party's White House nomination. After the ...

Classical Values — ... ... (What's next? Will Palin get a stern scolding for having smoked marijuana ?) On the bright side, one of my problems is that I sometimes hate politics so much that I have to struggle to keep a sense of humor, but I face no such struggle today. By injecting much-needed humor into the race with their antics, the Palin Pregancy Truthers have restored my faith. Well, maybe almost. (It's time for a fake pregnant pause....)

Sarah Palin: “A Lady Who is a Leader!”
Flopping Aces — ... No other VP pick could have generated such enthusiasm! I’ve been following the discussion on Sarah Palin’s pick to be the GOP vice presidential nominee at National Review’s “The Corner.” The overwhelming view is that Palin is the right pick for conservatives, the right pick for McCain and above all, the right pick for America. Another gem was found at the Times of London: “We may be seeing the first woman president. As a Democrat, I ...

John McCain, Sarah Palin and Christmas in August
The Wide Awake Cafe — ... one…… Little Known Fact: Sarah Palin is so HOT that God had to send a hurricane to cool America off. Of course, it didn'’t take the party (and supporters in the media) of Ebenezer B. Obama long to belittle and slime Sarah Palin but as Rick Moran writes, Democrats do this at their peril. As a true Christmas should accomplish, the joy is being spread around liberally. Camille Paglia, a Democrat is quoted here saying the following… “We ...

From the notebook
The Sideshow — So ABC actually did have someone looking at that Blue Dog party in Denver - and he got arrested for it, too! Via Skippy, who says they're checking out the RNC partying, too. Fancy that - Palin raised taxes on Alaskans. And, wait - you mean she wasn't Miss Congeniality? But Paglia loves her.

Media Swooned over Liddy Dole in 1996; What If Palin Does Better?
NewsBusters.org - Exposing Liberal Media Bias — It seems that media and Obama surrogates' (but I repeat myself) trash-talking and demonizing have lowered expectations of Sarah Pailn's speech tonight to the "Can she get out a complete sentence?" level. My sense is that this will work to her advantage, bigtime. One person who can't exactly be accused of having a conservative bias had this to say about Palin's Friday performance in Dayton: That was the best political speech I have ever seen delivered by an American woman ...
