Nancy Pelosi rolls out economic agenda to help women, which causes Sarah Palin, long rumored to be a woman, to attack her for it.

So this is what Nancy Pelosi introduced yesterday in the Capitol: 

The California Democrat launched a legislative agenda of family-friendly policies, such as paycheck fairness for women, an increased federal minimum wage, and President Barack Obama's proposed early childhood education initiative. 

The agenda, coming as the legislative season begins to make way for next year's campaigns, was designed to stand in contrast to bills being debated under the GOP majority on the House floor. "It's all about letting women know there's an opportunity for something different," Pelosi said, over salads, sandwiches and sodas. 

Okay admittedly I am not a woman but this seems to me to be very good news for women in this country, and should, I would think, be welcomed by American females with open arms.

So what do we make of this from the Grizzled Mama's Facebook page?

Odd. Pelosi sees women as less than equal and thus needing government intervention. Glad girls today know the truth re: women's strength and equal opportunity. I'm glad my girls know the truth.


WTF? Is Sarah Palin (A woman who has benefited mightily from the work done by Women's Liberation movement by the way.) completely unaware that women are STILL being paid far less than men, STILL being  passed over for advancement due to their gender, and STILL needing help when it comes to finding childcare and educational opportunities for their children?

And just what is this TRUTH that Palin is teaching her girls?

That EVERY female in the country gets to ride their mother's coattails? That EVERY female in this country gets  multiple shots at their own reality show? That EVERY female can have a baby out of wedlock and get to write books and give speeches because of it?

In the immortal words of Keith Olbermann, "This woman is an idiot!"

But what is more than that is that her version of history, and women's place within it, is  dangerous to the young women who may actually think she knows what she is talking about. She doesn't!

Nancy Pelosi clearly understands the challenges and obstacles facing women today, Sarah Palin simply does not. Or if she does, simply does not care about them.

Which makes sense, because after all how can we expect a woman whose husband pimped women out for sex to understand or care about women's issues?

      The almost funny part is, she'd really have it in for Janet Napolitano if she had half a brain in her head. Back before Palin was tapped by McCain, she appeared with Napolitano on the Charlie Rose show. The interview is a scream to watch: worth digging up if you haven't seen it. Palin spouts nothing but platitudes (drill, baby, drill) in contrast to JN, who offers articulate and informed answers. You can see the thought bubbles over Rose's head as he listens to Palin's drivel for an absolute minimum of time, then turns back to JN for a real conversation.
      And I betcha Palin herself would tell you she did every rootin' tootin' bit as well in that interview as she did in her debate with Joe O'Biden.

      The best part about the Napolitano interview is that Mrs. Palin is "supposed" to be 7 months pregnant and she leans over all the way to where her belly touches her knees and she has her legs crossed the entire time; something a 7 month pregnant woman could never accomplish.

      Many have used this particular interview video as proof positive that Mrs. Sarah Palin was NOT carrying Trig Palin in her womb.

    The more people in public office - especially those in positions of some power - treat her with disdain, the more people will ignore her. She isn't worth the effort of wasting "ink".

    OT Here's an article about how the Royal Baby is worth $380 million in "Baby Stimulus Funds" to the British economy.

    The Palins have a LONG way to go before their babies make them that kind of money. Surely, they can take a few tips from this article on getting people to spend (waste?) their money.

    They need to think of splashing their photos on all kinds of shlock they can sell. (No charge for the tip.)

    Also, check out the photo of the women "pretending" to be pregnant. Once again, the Palins have things to learn.

    stupid [ˈstjuːpɪd]

    1. lacking in common sense, perception, or normal intelligence
    2. (usually postpositive) stunned, dazed, or stupefied stupid from lack of sleep
    3. having dull mental responses; slow-witted

    Hey, Sarah, why don't you read Rep. Pelosi's agenda a few more times before scribbling your response?

    Mrs. Pelosi offers "family-friendly policies" -- early education centers, to help very young children to learn and grow; a higher minimum wage for everyone; and paycheck equality for women. That last item is the only one geared specifically for women, but, clearly, it would improve the lives of their families if women were paid what they're worth.

    Take a look at the McDonald's website, aiming to help its workers budget their tiny paychecks. One of the most helpful suggestions is for the workers to get a second job, and work 75 hours a week. McDonald's doesn't suggest that it will pay more than the minimum wage, in order for the families of its workers to be able to exist on the wages of a 40-hour-a-week fry cook.

    Mrs. Palin: I have no idea what you've taught your daughters about "women's strength and equal opportunity." But you didn't teach them that women are made stronger with a strong education as preparation for the working world.

    One of your daughters makes her money by appearing on tv -- a gig only a few lucky men or women can achieve. She appears to have no other skills, and, if she does really work in a doctor's office, she can only be making the minimum wage. She has to turn to tv because a low-level receptionist job wouldn't pay to support herself and her son.
    Your other daughter, although she appears not to be employed, was trained for a "pink collar" job -- hairdressing. One of the goals of equal pay is that a semi-skilled job like a hairdresser should end up rewarding the women who practice it with the same money made by men who also are in semi-skilled jobs, like truck driving or machine-tool operator.

    Tripp and Trig certainly would benefit from early childhood education. All of the people who work for a wage in your family would benefit from a higher minimum wage. And your daughters would benefit from being paid the same as their male counterparts with similar skills and experience.

    Those are the "facts," Sarah.

The smaller guys, even if they are great skaters, like, .. hmmmm, Wayne Gretsky, would have had very, very short careers, without some sort of rules, as the bigger guys would have severely injured them, getting them thrown out of the game, and/or crippled for life. so there are rules, like no boarding, no head checks, etc. Somehow, I don't think that Gretsky found, or great players of today, like Taves or Kane, or Sidney Crosby think of those rules as a helping hand.

As it is, many women charged ahead to right those wrongs and the Palin girls obviously benefitted from that effort as much as Title 9.

    What ignorant people. Nancy Pelosi will be remembered as an outstanding politician and a woman who loved her daughters enough to fight for their rights and the future of her grandchildren. Sarah Palin is destined to be forgotten.

    “70 Days Left.”

    The message is clear. Few things are more important to the White House this year than a successful health care rollout on Oct. 1, when millions of uninsured Americans will be required to obtain private health coverage in government-run marketplaces. Getting it right — or wrong — will help determine Mr. Obama’s place in history.

    Enter the Obamacare team, some two dozen political operators and data-crunching technocrats charged with carrying out the biggest health care overhaul since Medicare in the 1960s — but with more pitfalls. Their job is to sell the law to large numbers of Americans who remain divided about its value and wary of its impact. Republicans have called it a “train wreck,” particularly after the administration announced a politically damaging one-year delay in a key provision of the law.

    Working out of war rooms in the West Wing basement, the Eisenhower Executive Office Building and the Department of Health and Human Services, the team is first trying to find in the next year 2.7 million uninsured people between 18 and 35, most of whom are healthy. Just as Mr. Obama’s electoral success hinged on the turnout machine he created in Chicago, the fate of the health care law rests on whether his administration can turn out and enroll the uninsured.

    “The key for us is to take this out of the abstract and make it very, very, very real,” one of the leaders of the effort, David Simas, told a dozen White House aides during a strategy session in the West Wing last week.

    Mr. Simas, a top strategic adviser to the president, was in charge of the 2012 Obama campaign’s effort to understand voter sentiment and opinions. His challenge now is to apply the same techniques of microtargeting to the health care law.

    In spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations, Mr. Simas rattles off statistics from individual census tracts, like one in Texas that has 6,737 uninsured African-Americans 18 to 35 — exactly the kind of people he needs to find. “It’s all about designing outreach,” Mr. Simas said, with maps of Dallas on his two computer screens. “It’s getting people to the front door.”

    The team is also turning to Hollywood. Jennifer Hudson, Amy Poehler, Aisha Tyler and representatives for Oprah Winfrey, Jon Bon Jovi and others were at the White House on Monday for a meeting with Valerie Jarrett, Mr. Obama’s senior adviser, on plans for them to promote the health care law through social media, public service announcements and television appearances. Mr. Obama briefly stopped by, saying they needed to urge young people to sign up.

    Here's a question for Sarah.

    Lets say that a man in Wasilla recruited your 3 daughters into the world of prostitution.

    You then go to to Anchorage Police Department for help and you find out they are clients of the state pimp and the APD chooses not to help you.

    As a parent you have several choices. You can ask the pimp to leave your daughters alone, you can shoot and kill the pimp yourself to protect your daughters or you can go up the chain and get help from the state or federal government.

    But wait, you find out that the pimp is the spouse of the governor of the state.

    Now who can you turn to Sarah? The federal government!

    If Sarah or her daughters ever had a job like real Americans, Sarah wound't be flapping her gums about equality.

    She tricked and teased her way into celebrity, and her daughters as well as her pimp husband have been living off her grifting ever since.

    Sarah wants to play with the Big Dogs but when challenged she runs back to her porch and pees on the steps.

    Nancy Pelosi can do no wrong IMO. Even when I disagree, I support her actions because she is educated and able, smart, honest, boots on the ground, AND I trust her (based on her record).

    Sarah Palin can do no right IMO. Even when I agree, I do not support her actions because she is uneducated and incompetent, cunning rather than intelligent, dishonest (as in HOAX -- just one example), NEVER boots on the ground (just spinning airy fairy opinions based on her bankrupt beliefs and value system), AND I do not trust her (based on her record).

    Keep in mind that Palin has never held a regular, grown-up job for long. She has not worked her way up the ladder in any career field, her best job was based on cronyism, not qualifications. and she has never had to be the sole breadwinner for her family.

    In short, she has no idea what she's talking about, as usual.

    Until I was well-established in my career, I didn't believe in the glass ceiling. Then I went to work in a good-'ol-boys company in a male-dominated industry and got to see it first hand. There were a lot of smart women in that company whose hard work, dedication, and superior quality and quantity of work was completely unrecognized and unrewarded.

    I work elsewhere now, but again today went to my male boss to get him to ask questions and champion things I can't as a woman in this good 'ol boys club. It certainly hasn't been like this most of the places I've chosen to work, but it is still that way in far too many work places.

    It would be ever so nice if that vapid, grifting, unethical, vindictive bitch would close her mouth permanently in public and let only the voices of real working women who support their families with honest labor and those that appreciate them for what they really have accomplished be heard on this subject.
