[McCamy Taylor]

12. Call her MEAN. LIke a pit bull. It has no gender connotations.

[Canuckistanian]

13. Shrill! That's the word I was looking for! Thanks, CNN analyst

Palin was SHRILL.

[TooRaLoo]

14. KO nailed it.

Throughout Palin's speech, I was reminded of Reese Witherspoon's character in "Election". Disgusting! And then KO brought that up after her speech! I was so glad that someone else noticed it - and thrilled to have my thoughts repeated by KO on live TV.

[Marsala]

15. "Shrill" is unfortunately now a loaded word

We can't call any woman shrill. Ever. No matter how shrill she actually is.

Irony aside, that was a gaffe Reid should have known well enough to avoid.

[Metric System]

18. Yep. "Shrill" should be avoided. Don't bother arguing with this. There are plenty of other words

in the dictionary that could be used to characterize the speech.

[Metric System]

16. Donna Brazile's been heaping too much praise for my taste whenever I've tuned over the last couple

of days. She had nothing but kinds words for some propaganda video they played yesterday and said the Republicans were presenting a different side to the party than we've seen- a New Republican party. Just shut up Donna!

[votetastic]

17. I think SHILL is the word we're looking for here

[sandnsea]

19. Snide, Snippy, Acerbic

Viscious, Rude...

[Marsala]

22. I would avoid using "Snippy", too... nt.

[sandnsea]

24. Why? It wasn't used against Hillary

That's the only reason they're attacking the use of the word shrill.

[Ganja Ninja]

28. Shrill & Screechy!

Her voice makes my skin crawl the way Hillary's voice does to Hannity.
