I don't know how I missed this earlier, but I did.
As a man I am humbled to my core after viewing these amazing women.
So much courage, perseverance, and joy that it should send message to all of us never to give up and to continue to strive to overcome every obstacle that life throws out way.
You can read more about the woman included in that advertisement here.
O/T...Ordered my Roger Ailes bio book by Gabriel Sherman! Should be here tomorrow...in the meantime saw this from the Daily Beast about Baldy and the Toad!
ReplyDelete"Ailes thought Sarah Palin was “an idiot,” but paid her a million dollars a year and built a home studio for her in Wasilla, Alaska. Before her appearances, she regularly carped at husband Todd, who handled the camera. Fox News producers nicknamed the Palins “The Bitch” and “The Eskimo.”
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Tomorrow can't get here early enough! This book is going to be DELICIOUS!

How is that 'GOOD TIDINGS AND GREAT JOY Ghostwritten Book doing? Is it a Best Seller yet? No? BWAHAHAHAHA.
DeleteThis commenter NAILED HER re: Sarah Palin: Katie Couric's Show Ending 'Didn't Surprise Me'
ReplyDeleteCouric is about to be the Global anchor and put $40 million in her pocket for Yahoo, after getting $40 million from ABC for national talk show, and another $75 mil from CBS for a national newscast.
You, on the other hand, are about star on another nothing reality show, probably spouting jingoistic platitudes about America, on a even less relevant network than the one-seasoner you had before. All the while, in the hope to maintain relevancy, you are still expressing petulent resentfulness over a bad interview five years ago that you poorly prepared for because you didn't know diddily about anything.
If that is you call "what goes around, come around", Sarah, sign me up.

And the rest of the comments are calling her out for ignorance, her vapidness, her stupidity, her classlessness....
@816am
DeleteSurely you're not suggesting that nearly every comment in the HuffPo story powerfully disparages The Screechy Wretch(tm) in some supremely well-deserved manner, are you???
I'll have to see this for myself. brb.
(music on hold)
Well, I'll be damned! You're right! It's an endless cascade of comments from people of every walk of life, every corner of the globe, every faith, old, young, man, woman, black, white, yellow....
It's amazing! Who would ever have predicted that the ONE thing that unites the human race is total contempt for that irredeemably awful woman.
It makes Gryphen's post of the Bing Women of the Year video even more satisfying to watch.
UPDATE!!
DeleteMy comment above may have given the questionable impression that every comment in the HuffPo story was negative. That is incorrect. Out of 135 comments at this moment, 134 were scorching rebukes of the woman many claim is 'the worst human being ever to walk the face of the earth" and 1 comment said this: "Fantastic short interview and she knows lot (sic) more than Katie could ever know about life... "
My favorite comment is this one: "While it's true that in the past The Screechy Wretch(tm) simply wasn't good enough and it's clear to even the most casual observer that she is nowhere good enough now, the inescapable fact remains that she will never, ever, ever, never, ever, ever be good enough in the future."
(Ok, I admit it's my favorite because I wrote it, but still....)
Katie Couric made her debut yesterday as Yahoo’s global anchor, sitting down with Robert Gates the day before publication of his memoir, “Duty,” which will be published today. Something Palin could never achieve in her wildest dreams. And since Palin doesn't read anything she's not even aware of it! Looks like Katie has better karma than Sarah.
DeleteSP cannot blame Katie or anyone else for her lack of ability to answer simple questions. Ms. Couric did this country a big favor by that interview and she will always be a success. On the other hand, SP's legacy will be embarrassing to say the least.
DeleteJust a high school mean girl who is now looking very long in the tooth. You know what can happen to the human body when subjected to years of angry meanness, aggravation, conflicts, irritation and confrontation?......cancer.
Delete"The Sarah Palin interviews with Katie Couric were a series of interviews Couric conducted with 2008 U.S. Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin. They were recorded and broadcast on television in several programs before the 2008 U.S. presidential election. Couric received the Walter Cronkite Award for Journalism Excellence for the interviews".
Delete@ Gryph... yeah, it's 'inspiring', BUT....Margaret Thatcher has no business being included in that group of women. For them to have put her just behind Malala Yousafzai is really a travesty. What were they thinking?
ReplyDelete"Her political philosophy and economic policies emphasised deregulation (particularly of the financial sector), flexible labour markets, the privatisation of state-owned companies, and reducing the power and influence of trade unions"...
ReplyDelete"Thatcherism is also associated with supply-side economics. Whereas Keynesian economics holds that the government should stimulate economic growth by increasing demand through increased credit and public spending, supply-side economists argue that the government should instead intervene only to create a free market by lowering taxes, privatizing state industries and increasing restraints on trade unionism."
Ronald Reagan's BFF has no business in that ad. She pales in comparison to the rest who are included.
RE: Thatcher...
ReplyDelete" She claimed "Christianity is about spiritual redemption, not social reform" and she quoted St Paul by saying "If a man will not work he shall not eat".
....sounds like Ted Cruz to me.
Thatcher:
ReplyDelete'I think we have gone through a period when too many children and people have been given to understand "I have a problem, it is the Government's job to cope with it!" or "I have a problem, I will go and get a grant to cope with it!" "I am homeless, the Government must house me!" and so they are casting their problems on society and who is society? There is no such thing! There are individual men and women and there are families and no government can do anything except through people and people look to themselves first. It is our duty to look after ourselves and then also to help look after our neighbour and life is a reciprocal business and people have got the entitlements too much in mind without the obligations."
Sarah Palin on Margaret Thatcher:
ReplyDelete" And, of course, like all conservatives and trailblazers, she had to endure more than her share of vicious media attacks. Sir Archie Hamilton once recounted how he asked Thatcher whether she read the daily newspapers. “‘Oh no!’ she replied, ‘They make such hurtful and damaging remarks about me and my family, that if I ever read the papers every day, I could never get on with the job I am here to do.’” I know exactly what she meant. "
Why didn't Obama's mistress, Yingluck Shinawatra PM of Thailand, make Bing's list
ReplyDeleteObama's mistress? Boy, you fools can't make up your mind. One day he's gay, another he's having an affair? You just keep grabbing for anything you can pull out of your ass and try to stick it to him, but NOTHING has worked, since there is no truth in all the made up stuff you guys do, so it doesn't hold up. Not any so called 'scandals' have sustained themselves no matter how much lying Fox and the right wingers do and it makes you nutty. Not the IRS 'scandal', not Fast & Furious, not Benghazi, not, not, not...the list is so long for all the faux scandals that you desperately want to be true, but they aren't, and so you're fucked. So you come to this blog and post some ridiculous comment because you have nothing else in your life that is worthwhile, that is CRYSTAL CLEAR to anyone who reads your comment.
DeleteOr Shailey Tripp? Oh wait, she's real.
DeleteI liked that they added Malala. Her book is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteGee, so many "brave" women to pick from, yet they give Thatcher a place?
