Three front page articles critical of Sarah Palin were run by the NY Times Tuesday. But, thanks to some research by George Marlin, they have now been properly and completely slammed by none other than……..wait for it …………..The NY Times.

This is from a 1984 editorial, written in support of Geraldine Ferarro (source)

Where is it written that only senators are qualified to become President?…Or where is it written that mere representatives aren’t qualified, like Geraldine Ferraro of Queens?…Where is it written that governors and mayors, like Dianne Feinstein of San Francisco, are too local, too provincial?…Presidential candidates have always chosen their running mates for reasons of practical demography, not idealized democracy…. What a splendid system, we say to ourselves, that takes little-known men, tests them in high office and permits them to grow into statesmen. . . . Why shouldn’t a little-known woman have the same opportunity to grow?. . . .the indispensable credential for a Woman Who is the same as for a Man Who – one who helps the ticket.

There will be a woman on the ticket. And, it ain’t Hillary!!

Great choice for VP, Gov Sarah Palin of Alaska. Fox News Carl Cameron confirms!

Here is an earlier blog entry about Gov Palin, including a nice writeup from Pat Ruffini.

And, a video interview of Gov Palin on the Beck Show.

The “O” Salute left me wondering, “Where have I seen that before?”

Big hat-tip to n2l (via Gateway Pundit) for providing the answer: Trekkies will recognize the salute as a rip-off from “The Way To Eden”.

In this episode, a group of space hippies are in search of Utopian Bliss in a world known as “Eden.” All the cool space hippies use the “O” salute. And if you ain’t cool, you’re a “herbert.”

Their search for Utopia ends tragically, but as all good liberals know, the end results don’t matter as long as your intentions are good.

The Obama candidacy is turning into a bad joke, a Disney-esque recreation of the worst of the 60’s.

If the situation in Georgia does nothing else, perhaps it will awaken the public to the fact that National Security belongs in the hands of the grown-ups.

time to get your head freak on…from 1980, in Rome, Take me to the river.
Good stuff. Now if we can just get some Larry Raspberry and the Highsteppers….

Or mid-life crisis? Quien sabe? As Mrs. Nuke puts it, “It’s cheaper than a sports car.”
