May I ask why it's hilarious? -- DizzyDeb, 06:08:07 04/01/09 Wed [1]
The song played is a bit stupid, but why don't you like her? She seems like a great partner and a great role model for young women.

Well, in the same way that .... -- muppetmel, 06:32:42 04/01/09 Wed [1]
... Sarah Palin was made a mockery of at every turn, it's called "parody", "free speech," "right to fair comment," and "public figures are fair game." And it's funny, to some if not to you.
I don't see why all the internet jokes about "Shrillery," Sarah Palin or anyone are any more legitimate than jokes about Michelle. She isn't G-d or Mother Earth. She's a woman, doing a fine job of jockeying a career with raising a family. Just / like / Sarah Palin.

Jeepers! -- DizzyDeb, 08:12:20 04/01/09 Wed [1]
I just wondered why Jeannine found it hilarious. It was just a question that I was interested to hear the answer to. I didn't intend to suggest no one could exercise their right to free speech or to start a "people did this to Sarah so we're gonna do the same to Michelle" argument. I was just curious.

It is exactly because it was NOT a parody that I thought it was funny -- Jeannine, 08:32:30 04/01/09 Wed [1]
I find the media lovefest very funny. That is all. It has nothing with how they feel about anyone else, or even how I feel about her. I am sort of indifferent about her, actually. I have read a lot I don't like, but who knows what to believe anymore?
But - "you're just too good to be true! Can't take my eyes off of you....." it was funny to me. Nothing more, nothing less.
Muppy brings up an interesting point tho. Can you imagine the Today show doing such a fluff piece on Sarah Palin? They don't like her politics, so they never would.

Thank you -- DizzyDeb, 08:56:05 04/01/09 Wed [1]
I honestly was just asking why you found it funny. I also thought the song made the whole piece ridiculous.
I'm not going to get into whether or not a television show I don't watch nor care to would do a fluff piece on anyone else, Sarah or Hillary.

Exactly! -- Katt, 08:18:46 04/05/09 Sun [1]
I'm also finding it hyesterical that Letterman/Leno are still doing George Bush jokes because God knows you can't diss on B.O or you'll be called a racist! Oy.
