By a VERY slim margin, Hillary Clinton was voted as Newsweeks most admired women, just barely edging out Sarah Palin.
Although, Sarah's book has far outsold Hillary's book "It takes a Village" :)

Newsweek isn’t… about news, that is. The magazine is suffering from lack of journalistic objectivity. Think of it as a version of People magazine hiding behind a serious cover page.
A few questions for the men:
Who would YOU date if you could?
[ ]Hilary Clinton [ ]Sarah Palin [ ]Dr. Condoleezza Rice,PhD
Whose politics and ethics are closest to YOURS?
[ ]Hilary Clinton [ ]Sarah Palin [ ]Dr. Condoleezza Rice,PhD
Who would YOU bed (assuming you had the authority to do so)?
[ ]Hilary Clinton [ ]Sarah Palin [ ]Dr. Condoleezza Rice,PhD
Each of you is laughing at the prospect of bedding a certain one of those women, and the thought includes teeth. A special note from me to Archy and GF: “Not even with yours!”
Only one of those questions has any bearing on “Woman of the Year” for a news magazine… unless the magazine’s editors are choosing. In that case, “whatever sells their magazine.”

It seems that Wing Nuts are destined to come in 2nd to the Loony Left. Considering Palin is a quitter, I am surprised she did as well as she did.

...at your response.
"Palin is a quitter" is a hack phrase which you have been conditioned to recite. You don't need to know the details... just deliver the line.
It's in the same vein as, "Bush lied-people died" or "global warming deniers". The purveyour of such raw sentiment injects it into a debate and then abdicates before having to produce any supporting argument.

Consider the source seriously ... fishy can not even state why he is such an Obama supporter, yet he wants to bash and name call everyone that does not support Obama or has an opposing view.
The man is a perfect example of a true socialist liberal ... no facts to support their position and call names and critize others that don't agree with them.
He is a piece of work.

By Dewie Whetsell, Alaskan Fisherman. As posted in comments on Greta's article referencing the MOVEON ad about Sarah Palin.
The last 45 of my 66 years I've spent in a commercial fishing town in Alaska . I understand Alaska politics but never understood national politics well until this last year. Here's the breaking point: Neither side of the Palin controversy gets it. It's not about persona, style, rhetoric, it's about doing things. Even Palin supporters never mention the things that I'm about to mention here.
1- Democrats forget when Palin was the Darling of the Democrats, because as soon as Palin took the Governor's office away from a fellow Republican and tough SOB, Frank Murkowski, she tore into the Republican's "Corrupt Bastards Club" (CBC) and sent them packing. Many of them are now residing in State housing and wearing orange jump suits. The Democrats reacted by skipping around the yard, throwing confetti and singing, "la la la la" (well, you know how they are). Name another governor in this country that has ever done anything similar.
2- Now with the CBC gone, there were fewer Alaskan politicians to protect the huge, giant oil companies here. So she constructed and enacted a new system of splitting the oil profits called "ACES." Exxon (the biggest corporation in the world) protested and Sarah told them, "don't let the door hit you in the stern on your way out." They stayed, and Alaska residents went from being merely wealthy to being filthy rich. Of course, the other huge international oil companies meekly fell in line. Again, give me the name of any other governor in the country that has done anything similar.
3- The other thing she did when she walked into the governor's office is she got the list of State requests for federal funding for projects, known as "pork." She went through the list, took 85% of them and placed them in the "when-hell-freezes-over" stack. She let locals know that if we need something built, we'll pay for it ourselves. Maybe she figured she could use the money she got from selling the previous governor's jet because it was extravagant. Maybe she could use the money she saved by dismissing the governor's cook (remarking that she could cook for her own family), giving back the State vehicle issued to her, maintaining that she already had a car, and dismissing her State provided security force (never mentioning - I imagine - that she's packing heat herself).. I'm still waiting to hear the names of those other governors.
4- Now, even with her much-ridiculed "gosh and golly" mannerism, she also managed to put together a totally new approach to getting a natural gas pipeline built which will be the biggest private construction project in the history of North America. No one else could do it although they tried. If that doesn't impress you, then you're trying too hard to be unimpressed while watching her do things like this while baking up a batch of brownies with her other hand.
5- For 30 years, Exxon held a lease to do exploratory drilling at a place called Point Thompson. They made excuses the entire time why they couldn't start drilling. In truth, they were holding it like an investment. No governor for 30 years could make them get started... This summer, she told them she was revoking their lease and kicking them out. They protested and threatened court action. She shrugged and reminded them that she knew the way to the court house. Alaska won again.
6- President Obama wants the nation to be on 25% renewable resources for electricity by 2025. Sarah went to the legislature and submitted her plan for Alaska to be at 50% renewables by 2025.. We are already at 25%. I can give you more specifics about things done, as opposed to style and persona. Everybody wants to be cool, sound cool, look cool. But that's just a cover-up. I'm still waiting to hear from liberals the names of other governors who can match what mine has done in two and a half years. I won't be holding my breath.
By the way, she was content to return to AK after the national election and go to work, but the haters wouldn't let her. Now these adolescent screechers are obviously not scuba divers. And no one ever told them what happens when you continually jab and pester a barracuda. Without warning, it will spin around and tear your face off. Shoulda known better.
You have just read the truth about Sarah Palin that sends the media, along with the democrat party, into a wild uncontrolled frenzy to discredit her. I guess they are only interested in skirt chasers, dishonesty, immoral people, liars, womanizers, murderers, and bitter ex-presidents' wives.
So "You go, Girl." I only wish the men in Washington had your guts, determination, honesty, and morals.
I rest my case.
Only FOOLS listen to the biased media."

GF's posts make one wonder....could anybody be that biased without being willing and/or able to back up those allegations.
Unless you know some concrete facts about the person behind the moniker, then maybe that person isn't who you think he(she) is.
And maybe that person only throws out such outlandish claims and barbs to get a reaction. Maybe they themselves really don't believe what they post.
Go look at some of the other forums and read GF's posts. They are not at all like his/her posts on this forum. They actually make sense.
Just food for thought for the waning hours of this decade.
Happy New Year to you, MM, GF, Archie, Yankee, Hound, Major, Rude, wix, Barnegt, CAT, NCII, Feb, Summer, lotowner, au67, Jim D, Mack, h_hob, and any others I failed to mention. Your collective contributions to this forum have been educational, enlightening, amusing, maddening, frustrating, and downright delightful.
Y'all have a good un and stay safe tonight and always,
Nasreddin Hodja
