(6,187 posts)And the word's etymology is far closer to allusions to rurals having sex with their sisters and animals than anything to do with bindlestiffs.

(50,559 posts)Sarah says she can see Russia from her house. She fails to notice there's a ridge to the west of Wasilla. Because she can see through it, it should be obvious to one and all that Sarah was packed in a rocket many years before Krypton blew up and sent to Earth because they just knew she would turn out bad.

Not that I think she has anything worse going on than stupidity.

(8,492 posts)Did anyone consider that the President was showing the Turkish PM some courtesy by not letting him drown and that it would have made the PM uncomfortable if he was being covered while the President was not?
I've seen our President stand in the rain sans umbrella several times. This was definitely an exception.
I also recall pics of our President holding an umbrella over the FLOTUS while he got wet.
SidDithers
(44,228 posts)he's stood in the rain on his own a bunch of times, but he wasn't alone here. He had Erdogan with him.
I think this was an impromptu solution to keep the Turkish PM dry.

(7,403 posts)This is what that person, an influential Republican insider, said recently regarding Palin.
i actually met Sarah Palin and she is one of the most insincere, superficial, disingenuous persons I have ever met....and after 15 years in DC I have met a lot of them..............I wouldn't trust her for a nano second."

(47,485 posts)TheMadMonk
(6,187 posts)...that holding an umbrella for a lady (don't bother, I know) was, once upon a time, simply common courtesy. Even makes a certain amount of sense on stairs. One hand for purse, one for the banister, and all concentration on those ridiculous things women stick on the ends of their legs and call shoes.
It never ceases to amaze me, how folk can find common ground in stupidly petty little things like this, but then be at each other's throats over matters of true import, such as abuses of power, failure to prosecute clear violations of law, sexual violence, institutional and state sanctioned brutality. Common courtesty is misogyny, but the jury is always out on date rape.

sigmasix
(794 posts)She's the perfect example of modern America right wing extremism's love for willfully ignorant people. Remember: her followers believe that the gold coins they ordered from limbaugh and beck are going to protect them during the coming zombie plague. Palin doesn't have to be intelligent, wise or coherent to attract support from hate-infused fox "news" consumers- she just needs to display bigot-fueled rage and reasonless hatred for America and the teabaggers continue to love her.
