Jon Stewart Picks Apart Palin & GOP Incoherent Speeches

blahpook says...

To me it's because she strikes me as disingenuous. You can always see the gears turning.

I cant figure out why that is though.... if I am alone in a locked room it would still make me uncomfortable to watch her, maybe a form of embarassment of the species

Sarah Palin after the teleprompter freezes

blahpook says...

I feel like she may have done this on a few occasions, but here's one from 2013:

"Mr. President, we admit it, you won. Accept it. Now step away from the teleprompter and do your job."

Does anyone else recall her 'ridiculing' a democrat (maybe Obama?) for using a teleprompter in 08, or was that someone else?

I had some similar questions. I agree that the campaign name may be problematic. I'm not excusing that aspect of it, but I'm wondering if Sport England's goal isn't partly to encourage younger girls to have a better body image, and also maybe to suggest that sexiness doesn't need to exclusively be about makeup and famous supermodels, etc., but can also be about perseverance, confidence, and being active...?

Maybe our UK folk can tell us about whether the connotations of the word "girl" are different.

I love this -- except for one little thing. "Feeling like a fox"? Why did they toss that in there? Undercuts the message, big time.

OH. And the title. This GIRL can? When women of all ages are shown? Why women infantalize themselves with that crap has bugged me for forty years. And it is actually worse now that it was 40 years ago.

The rest of it? Lordy yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
