I think the conservative's attempt to drum up outrage over "Umbrellagate" has a few photographic obstacles in its path. Don't you?

Gee, what IS the difference here?

Hang on, don't tell me. I'll figure it out.

Well I think we can ALL agree that having others hold an umbrella for us is uppity and reserved ONLY for those in positions of power, and NOT for those who count themselves as REAL Americans.

Right?

Don't you hate it when a perfectly good attack against the President bounces off of him like a light rain hitting a...hitting a...you know hitting a thing that blocks rain.

      Yeah, the way those doofuses are acting, you'd think someone was holding an umbrella for a blah... Oh, never mind. Those mindless far-RW nuts don't bother to think before they spaz out, so there's no reason to bother explaining anything to them. So I will continue to point and laugh, and then when I am no longer amused, I will ignore them. Of course, by that time, they have usually moved on to some other ridiculous "issue" to focus on with their faux rage. The imbeciles haven't let me down for the past five years. Here's to three more! Obama/Biden 2009-2017.

      Advice to the RIght-Wingnuts: Like our strength coach used to say, "You gotta feel that burning way deep down inside. That's when you know it's doing you some good." So suck on that, you racist, bigoted, loggerheaded cons who are lacking in both education and any common sense alike.

      I know she thinks she's cute with that "gluteus maximus" line, which she undoubtedly stole from someone else (1,001 Jokes for Public Speakers), but uses now because she'd been called out on her vulgarity. This is supposed to be an attempt to clean up her act and make a really lame "joke." I can't stop chuckling at the cleverness of that woman!!!

      I suppose that by saying "the real job begins" after graduation, she's talking about all the pleasures, and responsibilities, of being an adult. (This is usually used in reference to college graduates [22], not HS grads [18], but writing this will produce a howl over at Lake Wasilla, claiming that 18 year olds are, too, adults. Our brave soldiers -- brave because they can go into combat, and brave because there are three instances of sexual abuse every HOUR in the military -- are truly grown up.
      A seventeen-year-old girl may give birth to Sarah's grandchild, but she wasn't an adult and we have yet to see whether she's been working on her "real job" in the past few years. Note to Sarah: being a celebrity wannabe, unskilled, untalented, without a personality or special gift, does not a celebrity make. Bristol is a lost cause, unless she produces even more kids than Kate Gosselin (but maybe fewer than the Duggars) and she can have a reality tv season on "I Was Tripped!

    When Sarah Palin has nothing of substance to say, she resorts to cheap tricks. Her style is to make fun of people. The problem with that line of attack is that old saying, "People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones." Before making fun of President Obama in what is being called "umbrellagate," Sarah (or one of her highly consultants) should have checked to make sure that there were no photos of Sarah in the same situation.

    Sarah's other way of attracting attention is by using strong language. "Global warming, my gluteus maximus." (Global worming, my butt, ha ha). The problem is that the Washington Post said that 97% of scientists do believe that man's actions have contributed to what should be called climate change. Or,if you believe Pat Robertson, that disasters of nature are punishments from God, what message is God sending to Alaska in those volcanic explosions?

    Someone once said that empty wagons make the most noise. Sarah proves that every time she speaks, posts or tweets. She thinks that she is making fun of President Obama (or Mayor Bloomberg) but the joke is on her. She proves herself to be too petty to ever hold elected office again. Thin skin, immature, reactive, and she doesn't even carry her own umbrella.

      3. Sarah couldn't hold the umbrella because both hands were holding the railings to keep from falling on the slippery steps. Be sure to notice you can see both hands on the railing. (Even though only one hand is on a railing and one is by her side, you WILL see both holding railings.)

    Ha! Here's another gallery to giggle over:

    Sarah Palin has been identified as the epitome of all things stupid. From building dikes to explaining how Paul Revere was warning the British that the Americans were coming, the name “Sarah Palin” has become synonymous with “stupid.” Just when you think Sarah Palin couldn’t possibly say anything more foolish that she has previously, she lowers the bar once again. In a recent Tweet she said:

    “Scandalous Hat Trick Mr. President, when it rains it pours, but most Americans hold their own umbrellas. “

    The first obvious sign of stupidity is that most Americans are not the president; they don’t live in the white house; they don’t vacation at Camp David; they don’t fly on Air Force One; and they aren’t protected by the Secret Service. They don’t have a private chef and they don’t ride in a bullet proof car.

    Most Americans don’t have people trying to assassinate them; they don’t have to send security guards with their kids to school for fear that the kids might be kidnapped; and they don’t have to make decisions about waging nuclear war.

    Most Americans don’t get to attend the White House Press Correspondents Dinner, and those that do don’t have to pretend to be having a good time while worrying about a mission to find and kill the terrorist that Americans most wanted to take out.

    Most Americans don’t have to console the parents of dead elementary school kids after a mentally ill shooter used an assault weapon to murder the child they devoted their life to.

    Most Americans don’t have to be polite to Sarah Palin when she attacks without reason, without logic, saying something to demonstrate just how stupid she is, time and time again.

    The second sign of stupidity is that John McCain had somebody hold an umbrella for him, and he was only hoping to be the President.

      Great comment! Mitt Romney said that Ann never got over losing. I don't think that Sarah Palin ever got over losing, either, even though it has been more than 5 years. Maybe when they have that sense of entitlement and of being "chosen" it's harder to deal with reality.

      One of the ways that Sarah can attract attention is by verbally assaulting the guy she blames for her loss. I think that Sarah is so jealous. She wants the White House Marine Corps holding umbrellas for her. Sarah wants all of the pageantry and glamor that goes with being associated with the White House.http://media.townhall.com/Townhall/reu/d/2011%5C158%5C2011-06-07T225216Z_01_WAS48_RTRIDSP_0_USA-GERMANY.jpg Sarah would never have lasted a week as Vice President. We see her speak and she can't complete sentences. Having no substance, she relies on visual tricks, like a prop comedian. And deep down, I think that she thought that she should be the one getting regal treatment, not the Kenyan socialist.

      Hint: If a real visitor from Kenya was a state visitor at the White House, he would get the umbrella treatment in a rain storm, too, no matter what his religion or politics. The umbrella was offered to keep the Turkish prime minister dry. Obama said that he had a dry suit.

    Today’s Right Wing Upset: Obama abusing Government power by daring to use an umbrella in the rain

    It must be a slow news day for the right wing media, especially after President Obama shut down a couple of conspiracy theories, or at least somewhat. So, Drudge Report, Twitchy and the Weekly Standard have stumbled on to Obama’s next dastardly deed. President Obama (wait for it) uses an umbrella when it rains. That rat bastard! Obama acts like he’s the President or something.

    Why the uproar? President Obama and Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan held a joint press conference, and when the rain started coming down, Obama signaled for umbrellas for the PM and himself. Obummer could have left the PM shivering in the rain, in which case, that would go down even worse.

    Drugde cut the picture to only show Obama.

    Tweets poured in.

    How Umbrella-gate began:

    GOP House had their 37th Temper tantrum, voted to repeal Obamacare and replace it with nothing

    The House of Representatives held their 6,9989th attempt to repeal Obamacare Thursday afternoon, voting along party lines: 229-195, with the exception of two Democrats who crossed the aisle. The Democrats who voted to repeal the health care law were Rep. Jim Matheson of Utah and Rep. Mike McIntyre of North Carolina, both of whom represent very Republican-leaning districts.

    With Democrats in control of the Senate, it will not pass and Republicans knew that. Today is what we’d call, kissing Tea Party ass in order for Republicans to appease their fringe base. Bqhatevwr.

    What it amounted to was yet another chance to try to knock down President Obama’s signature legislation while boring the entire country with their 37th temper tantrum.

    OT but within the context of 11:05's comment about Palin's use of projection, with a slight pivot toward babygate and question for Gryphen at the end.

    I was reading Frank Bailey's book and was startled by a late-1997 email from Sarah directing Ivy Frye to 'rumormonger' against Lyda Greene as payback for Lyda's criticism of the ‘Mat Maid debacle’.(p. 207)

    Fast-forward to a 'tense' meeting between Sarah and Lyda on March 5, 2008 which Bill McAllister notes on his blog. Sarah and her staff are pissed that McAllister knew about the 'tense' meeting. On March 7, Sarah emails, "I characterized this ‘communication problem’ as schizophrenic on Lyda’s part be [sic] I don’t think she listens at all, and runs with rumors and speculation…" (Naturally, the 'problem' was all Lyda's fault and Sarah was innocent as a baby.)

    Now on to April 6, 2008 and Sarah is accusing Lyda or Lyda's staff of starting and perpetuating the rumor that Bristol is pregnant.

    Sarah instigates rumormongering and then accuses her victim of being a rumormonger.

    In the spirit of speculation (based on the assumption Bristol didn't birth Trig), let's consider that it was Sarah herself who either started the rumor or purposefully spread it. She was killing two birds with one stone: 1)attempting to hurt Lyda Green; 2)injecting Bristol into the pregnancy hoax to keep staff and press from asking questions about the strange progression of her 'pregnancy. After the VP nomination, the national media backed away from pregnancy questions primarily due to the rumor. Who benefited from the rumor about Bristol? Answer: Sarah.

    Gryphen - Would you consider whether investigating the anatomy of the Bristol rumor is worth the effort?

    There are even photos at DWTS where someone outside is holding an umbrella for Bristol.

      Was it an extra large umbrella to cover her big Borderline Retarded Pregnant Ass?

      Does a big blue pop up picnic canopy tent used to cover Bristol's big ass and belly count as an umbrella?

    In the manual for marines, ONLY, a female marine, can use an umbrella, in time of bad weather. These marines, stand for courage, honor, and stength. Obama stands for lies, cowardice and dishonor! Semper fi

      12:54 idiot brain dead assclown.
      as you stated "only, a female marine, can use an umbrella, in time of bad weather"

      no marine was asked to hold or carry an umbrella for himself. he was given an order by his commander in chief to hold an umbrella to shield the potus and another marine to hold an umbrella to shield the pm of turkey.

      for you to not be an assclown you frackin idiot, the president would have had to have ordered the marines to start carrying umbrellas in inclement weather.

      holy frackin cow you are the thickest bunch of backwards thinking ignoramuses ever to be put on this earth. blogs and news sites have ceased to even use many words in their posts to counter your idiotic rants because it is so obvious you have no command of the english language.....so instead, everyone posts pictures to show you how stupid you are and unlike a 4 year old, you still can't comprehend this.

      The marine was not using the umbrella, he was holding it for Obama. If you had any shred of self awareness, you'd admit that it is only an issue because it was Obama and not a Republican president.

    5. How dare you use the term Semper Fi! My former husband served honorably in the marines for 21 years, and he most certainly would not speak such filth about the Commander-in-Chief as you do. You are scum. Un-American scum.

    The tv show Inside Edition was shaking with manufactured outrage and mentioned Skanky Pay-me rant, but somehow neglected to show all the pictures of the Shrilla from Wasilla smirking from under umbrellas held by someone else. MSM, not!

    WTF, these racist ass holes just need to put back on their white robes, and ride into the sunset. Are we actually having a conversation about an umbrella? No talk about jobs, the sequester, marriage equality, homelessness, education, but about umbrellas. The inmates are running the asylum.

    I saw the picture and I'm ashamed to say that at my age I never noticed the umbrella as that hunky marine stole my attention. Forget that I'm old enough to be his mother but darn they look good in their dress uniforms. I think Sarah is just jealous those warriors are not around her.

    It has been one week since Mother's Day and it has been nonstop dump on SarahPalin. I'm disappointed in Bristol, Willow and Track for not defending their mother's good name. Same for Sally, Chuckie, Todd and Sarah's siblings. Sarah Palin has not only done a lot for Alaska but for all her family members and friends as well. If no one will stand up for our beloved Sarah then I will. As one of Sarah's closest friends who has personally witnessed Sarah's generosity, I will share what Sarah has sacrificed for herself to do for Alaska, her family and others.

    Sarah Palin is intellectually and morally bankrupt, but she is a friggin' genius in one department: demagoguery. She is so d@mn effective at appealing to prejudices and ignorance because she doesn't have to pretend, she truly is one of them: their ignorance and prejudice is her ignorance and prejudice. Hence the unerring ability to zero in on the dog whistles: the privileged darkie children getting to see he world...the white Marine serving a black master...& etc. Everything small and petty and ugly about this country has crawled out from under a rock in the person of Sarah Palin.
    Such a shame the GOP is now being destroyed by the monster it created.

    I love how calm and cool President Obama and Hillary Clinton are, after this past idiotic week.

    The Republicans/Teabaggers just can't keep their idiotic mouths shut! Think it's time they request and demand some of their party members shut the hell up which should include the idiotic Palin, McConnell, Boehner, Cantor, McCain, etc.

    All of them have NOT gotten over that President Obama was elected for a second term because he is well like by the majority of Americans.

    Republicans are going to lose their shirts AGAIN in the next election and it's going to be so much fun to watch. They have not changed one bit since President Obama was running for reelection. Not one lesson learned! And, they are the LAST party we want in office across the nation!
