She Has NO IDEA How Much This Irritates Me

The Governor said "nucular."

Over and over again.

We must prevent a nukyuhlur eyeran!

I already posted my

opinion the day after she was anointed.'

She is a dumbass, seriously, probably dumber then Shrub. She was a beauty queen, and was probably raised like a princess, so she expects her subjects to tolerate and flatter her whims and stupidity.

She slips into "nuclear" every so often. I wonder if she's been coached to say "nukular" just to bug intelligent people elitists.

I've been nearly ready to throw things at my television for over half an hour now. Only being nearly full on one of my "Palin Bingo" cards has kept me from doing so.

She's a maverick

Yes, but she's so perky!
Christ on a crutch. (My Best Beloved also thought she'd been coaxed to say nucular to piss off people who could read.)

So, what you're saying, Bill, is that she just lost your vote?

Mispronouncing "nucular" is irritating. Lying her ass off, refusing to answer the question that was asked, and declaring she's going to be even more ambitious than Cheney is infuriating and horrifying.

Egads! They sure beat up on Steven Harper the debate last night. At least they pronounced nucular corectly.

It was pretty awful, wasn't it? Between the "you betcha's" and "we're gonna's" and her memorized phrases "corporate greed", "maverick John McCain", "kitchen table", I felt like she was a pre-programmed Republican dolly, and not one that I would EVER want to pick up and play with.

Unfortunately, she didn't implode on the stage, so their campaign is still alive.

I knew there was a reason they wrote it phonetically in her previous speeches.

And, if they *HAD* to have a woman on the ticket, why couldn't they have picked Olympia Snowe? At least she's intelligent.

Darn right we're gonna get rid of corporate greed. Heck, we're gonna get it off the kitchen table!

Because we're all HOCKEY MOM's.

BTW, I AM a hockey mom, as is my sister and several of my friends. And I'll tell you that most of the time, we don't wear lipstick. Sometimes we even wear pajamas to the rink. WITHOUT brushing our hair.

LOL! Boy, I'd love to see that! It's got to be enough to make the other team run for cover! (just teasin' there, sweet cheeks, don't get too ticked off at me!)

It's not so bad for me, I only have P in hocky (and not this year, he'd rather ski). My sister has boys who are a year apart, so every other year she lives at the rink-- one practices after the other, 3 - 5 days a week with skating practice on the days they don't have hockey, plus games. I do understand the "hockey mom" mentality.

I've taught my sister how to knit. In fact, I've just started a class for knitting for the hockey "moms" and soccer "moms" and ice skating "moms" (mom in quotation because just as often it's the dads sitting in the stands trying to find something to occupy themselves while their little darling learns how to be well rounded.)

I think we can blame Jimmy Carter for this. I don't think I ever heard the word pronounced that way until he came along.

You're not wrong, but I wish that could make the list of our 99 worst political problems. We'd be so much better off than we are . .

Her very demeanor irritates me. She couldn't answer a question if it saved her life and she couldn't reason her way out of a paper bag. But I digress, when we were watching last night and she mispronounced nuclear my son jumped up and had a fit! To me it was just par for the course.

I couldn't decide if she was part parrot or all Barbie. Maybe Barbie with a parrot beak. ARG!
