During the vice presidential debate, Sarah Palin would wink a couple of times when she delivered a line. Did you see that? She’d kind of wink and try to use a little sex appeal. See, the other candidates could never get away with that. Like if Barack Obama winked, that would be seen as too condescending. If Joe Biden winked, it’d be too creepy. If McCain started winking, everybody would think he was having a stroke. - Jay Leno

Subject: The last Republican "pit bull"

 

Lisa,

With Sarah Palin's assessment of herself as a "pit bull in lipstick" I thought this was an interesting relation to that assessment:

"In 2004, Bush appointed Harriet Miers White House counsel, calling her "a talented lawyer whose great integrity, legal scholarship and grace have long marked her as one of America's finest lawyers." He articulated his high regard for her more memorably during a 1996 awards ceremony when he called her "a pit bull in size-6 shoes."

Thought you'd enjoy this.

Thanks Geoff.

Those pit bulls bark is bigger than their bite, as far as Harriet Miers goes fersure and hopefully St Sarah of the Snowjobs will soon follow. You betcha!
 

 

 

"But, of course, what she's really not having an effect on is the presidential race. Even though she did well in the debate last night, McCain is still sinking in the polls. He's getting desperate. His new campaign slogan is 'McCain: The White Obama.'" --Bill Maher
 

 

 

 

No Sunshine In Alaska

 

Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin says she's an open book regarding an abuse-of-power investigation. Apparently her staff doesn't feel the same way.

While the Alaska governor has waived her privacy rights so details about her firing of a state commissioner can be made public, she has not called on others in her administration to do the same. Unless they do, the results of a state personnel board investigation may never be revealed.
 

 

During the debate the other night, the moderator asked Sarah Palin to describe her Achilles heel, but instead of talking about her biggest weakness, she talked about her greatest strength, which apparently is not answering questions. - Jay Leno

Need New Rules? Just Make Them Up!

 

The U.S. Federal Reserve is reportedly looking at getting into unsecured lending, an extreme step that could allow it to directly purchase commercial paper, according to a report in the Financial Times. The report said the Fed had never done so in its history, but doing so could allow it to participate in the frozen inter-bank money market and the contracting commercial paper market.

Richard Fuld, the former CEO of Lehman Brothers, grilled by Congress today. And they made him explain why he took $480 million in compensation when he knew some shareholders would lose their life savings. Yeah. Turns out, he had a good reason. Apparently, he is a greedy bastard.- Jay Leno

Fourth Marriage

A woman, married three times, walked into a bridal shop one day and told the sales clerk that she was looking for a wedding gown for her fourth wedding.

"Of course, madam," replied the sales clerk, "exactly what type and color are you looking for?"

The bride to be said: "A long frilly white dress with a veil."

The sales clerk hesitated a bit, then said, "Please don't take this the wrong way, but gowns of that nature are considered more appropriate for brides who are being married the first ! time - for those who are a bit more
innocent, if you know what I mean? Perhaps ivory or sky blue would be nice?"

"Well," replied the customer, a little peeved at the clerk's directness, "I can assure you that a white gown would be quite appropriate.
Believe it or not, despite all my marriages, I remain as innocent as a first time bride.
You see, my first husband was so excited about our wedding, he died as we were checking into our hotel. My second husband and I got into such a terrible fight in the limo on our way to our honeymoon that we had that wedding annulled immediately and
never spoke to each other again."

"What about your third husband?" asked the sales clerk.

"That one was a Republican," said the woman, "and every night for four years, he just sat on the edge of the bed and told me how good it was going to be , but nothing ever happened.."
 

 

 

 

I hope you had a good time today!
