BREAKING: SARAH HAS HER HAIR DOWN

[redstate_democrat]

Expect some shady shit tonight. Who called it?

[justiceischeap]

1. Don't cry foul until the debate.

Then we can call foul! ;)

[Alhena]

2. She looks fatter

[Kalyke]

22. Who cares?

Seriously.... why are there even posts about her weight?

As a woman of nearly 40 and the mother of two small children, I know my weight fluctuates daily. It's hormonal. I don't think she's on drugs. She's probably just bloated.

[catgirl]

Who the 'ell said she was on drugs?

You, as far as I can see. A weight gain can be very significant when
someone's a heartbeat away from the presidency. Nothing wrong with
making this observation.

[Kalyke]

76. It was on another thread.

Someone said she may be on anti-depressants since she's gaining weight.

I think it's simply because she's 44, had a kid a few months back and it's hormonal.

That said, I still think she's dumb as a box of rocks - but weight shouldn't matter. :hi:

[catgirl]

133. I also lean towards the dumb theory

rather than drugs. He he.

She's sharp, but she's obviously lived in a VERY small world (and lacks ethics).

[Life Long Dem]

118. With her hair down, her face looks rounder.

I never see here with her hair down, and she does look different.

[LibraLiz1973]

34. I really resent these types of ridiculous posts.

[seabeyond]

73. i dislike the woman, and i do too... a bunch of stupid. n/t

[woolldog]

132. the point is, she's going to have an earpiece on and is

going to be fed the answers. And it will be concealed because her hair is down. That's the point of the OP.

[seabeyond]

136. no. the point is, i wasnt talking ot the op, but the poster talking about her weight. n/t

[woolldog]

137. ok. you don't need to get snippy.

:spank:

[Betsy Ross]

80. She is not fatter unless you are comparing her to

Tina Fey. And it's a BS, unnecessary comment anyway.

[npk]

120. She's been feasting on moose.

Very fattening.

[jakem]

3. check the hand bandage for receiver. wire up to her empty head....

[redstate_democrat]

12. That's it.

The wire is connected inside the bandage and will run up her sleeve, under her hair, to her ear. Fuckers.

[anigbrowl]

48. Don't be ridiculous

Why would you put a receiver under a bandage? I use radio mics all the time, they don't need a very long antenna. And if you did want to use a long antenna loop, you'd just secure it inside the sleeve, since the fabric is radio transparent anyway.

[redstate_democrat]

53. So what? I'm not an expert in "radio receivers".

Who cares where it's located. :shrug:

[anigbrowl]

57. Then don't jump to conclusions on something you don't know about

It's misleading. I am (mildly) worried about whether she will have radio help or not, but the bandage on her hand has absolutely nothing to do with it.

[jakem]

66. unless she needs to be able to click it on and off- adjust volume, etc...

:shrug:

[anigbrowl]

70. I can think of about 10 better ways to do that than sticking it under a giant bandage.

[jakem]

72. i dont know you, but am willing to bet you are smarter than her cheating coach,,,

[anigbrowl]

90. DU broke while I was posting, but...

the thrust of my post was that i's not very hard to hire someone who does this sort of thing for a living. The GOP could always just call Jerry Zucker, or indeed someone at Blackwater who deals with surveillance.

And lest we forget, the Freeper crowd are equally convinced that Obama is getting prompted all the time. I am really not all that worried about this issue; no matter how much help Palin gets, an audio buddy plus 2-3 weeks of practise are not going to turn her into a policy whiz.

I am a lot more concerned about her coming up with some down-home 'zinger' that's meaningless but highly quotable.

[redstate_democrat]

67. I initially thought she was wearing a cast or ace bandage from the comments people were making

and you don't need to tell me what I can and cannot talk about. ---->

[anigbrowl]

77. From you rmouth to Freeper's ears, is all.

Frankly, I think it's just as likely she hurt her hand in an ill-advised game of softball or clutching a wine glass too tightly. Second guessing what the GOP are up to is worthwhile, but at some point it crosses over into paranoia.

[JuniperLea]

55. She is fairly diminuative...

I think it would show on her slim arm.

We always found W's!

[anigbrowl]

68. ??! Not unless she has spandex sleeves

We're talking about a wire that's about 1/16th of an inch in diameter. If she did have an antenna going down her sleeve (which she almost certainly doesn't, BTW) you wouldn't know. I do sound for film, and I'm used to concealing both mic wires and audio pumps. I could hide it on her with her hair up most of the way.

These speculations are getting into silly territory.

[David Zephyr]

109. So she can turn switch the receiver on and off. It could distract her.

Manual overide in case it picks up interference or distracts her.

[secondwind]

63. I have to tell you, I WOULDN'T PUT IT PAST THESE BASTARDS.

what can we do?

[AlCzervik]

4. her husband looks like a thug, the Jeff Gilooly variety.

[Cooley Hurd]

65. That's it!

She's Tonya Harding and he's Jeff Gillooly!:rofl:<-well, not really, I think your comparison is quite apt!:thumbsup:

[AngryOldDem]

129. But he's the FIRST DOOD.

And those sunglasses are TOTALLY HAWT.

[RichGirl]

5. Interesting...first time in public with her ears covered.

[quantass]

11. An Ear Piece -- forgot about that! Hmm...

[SharonAnn]

115. I don't think an ear piece would help her.

[quantass]

6. Ploy to get the MSM men on her side tonite.

[AllexxisF1]

7. They had better check her out.

I am freaking serious they had better check her out and make sure she is not wired up.

[secondwind]

16. I am SOO with you on this..........I don't like this.................

[ErinBerin84]

8. oh my god, her expression cracks me up for some reason.

[grasswire]

9. that is a STRANGE picture

Look at her mouth.

Look at how she's looking half-scared, standing behind her guy.

Look at how he's holding his coat closed with his hand.

Strange.

[jobycom]

27. You can't tell from a freeze frame.

Gust of wind may have blown his jacket and made her krinkle her face, or they may have just laughed at something and he's smoothing his coat...

Her position is interesting, though. I agree with that. She's clinging to him. Is that staged, or subconscious? Does she need the support, or is she trying to show the proper positioning of a dutiful wife, to get the Southern Baptist vote?

[marlakay]

10. I expected that to cover ear pieces

too bad they can't break in with a loud piercing sound that would make her scream and throw them down in middle of the debate. I would pay tons for that!!

[harun]

91. BINGO, not that I think it will help her.

[redirish28]

13. Are we sure it IS her and not some sort of Double? You know someone who is smart?

[jakem]

18. is Tina Fey being blackmailed?!

[redirish28]

28. Tina Fey is pretty... This kind of looks...well,,, I'll be nice...

[uponit7771]

14. FUCKIN WOW!!!

[doublethink]

15. Yep she's wired for sound.

[DU9598]

17. Con Air flight 2008

Seriously, do they not look like cons on the run from the law. She looks very scared.

[1corona4u]

19. Well, of course she does....

we all expected that....

[chitty]

20. You know.....

If she does have something in her ear or her bandage or whatever, it might even be funnier.

Just imagine it.

[bushisanidiot]

The debate hasn't begun yet.

and if it's down, i would suspect it's only to get us to respond to what she might be hiding. just a little rove trick to see if we'll bite.

many here thought AWOL Bush used a listening device and the repukes laughed all the way to the white house. they accused us of wearing tin foil hats because we had no proof. they will do the same thing with her.

[redstate_democrat]

36. I just googled this

I thought it was common knowledge Bush was wired? I noticed while watching the actual debate

[iceman66]

85. There was proof.

Or at least strong evidence that W was wired. The New York Times sat on a story about it until after the election. You can probably google for more info.

[Lerkfish]

21. actually, I WELCOME it if she's receiving radio signals

since she can't walk and talk at the same time, I predicted a low-intellect logjam between her ears, her brain, and her mouth.

[rvablue]

23. I noticed something the night she was interviewed with McCain.

I wrote about this downthread a couple of days ago.

When that tape played again later in the evening somewhere on TV, it was freeze framed at the end and the back of Sarah's collar was totally jutting out from the back of her neck.

I don't think it will help her one bit if they have her wired up. While Dems campaign folks and strategists won't talk about it publicly, I think they believe that Georgie was wired up in his debates. They will have the technology to block the signal.

[iceman66]

89. That would be awesome.

If she is wired and Obama's people manage to block the signal!

[David__77]

24. If it's that way tonight, we need to spread the "wired" narrative.

It couldn't just be coincidence that her hair is different on so pivotal an evening. Besides focusing on her hair is helpful for us anyway.

[crazylikafox]

39. Yes. We need people to watch the debates with this in mind.

Waiting until after won't work. It just sounds like whining. If enough people hear the Wired Meme, it just might affect public perception, whether it's true or not.

[crazylikafox]

45. Write Jack Cafferty. Maybe he'll bring it up. He thinks she's an idiot already.

If Olbermann mentions it, it won't carry any weight, since he's considered to be partisan.

[Curtland1015]

26. Are you SHITTING me!?

Holy crap that is shady right there. People have been saying this for weeks... I was dismissing it too.

[ronnykmarshall]

29. I hope it falls out in the middle of the debate.

You KNOW she's gonna have an ear piece.

[Parker CA]

41. Of course she will. Debate camp was a crash course in learning to relay provided material. n/t

[Metric System]

30. This looks like a still from an upcoming movie about a woman who just got away with murder.

[CakeGrrl]

31. I kind of hope she DOES have an earpiece

Imagine the rambling that might ensue as they try to feed her hints and she has to formulate full thoughts. It didn't work with cue cards. Having another voice in her ear might make it really hard to get her talking points straight.

[justiceischeap]

38. Don't forget she was a sportscaster for a while. She's probably comfy w/ an ear piece nt

[jobycom]

32. Not a good look for her.

Less serious, less commanding. Next they'll put McCain in a gold leisure suit with a white spats, I guess.

[BattyDem]

33. I know it will never happen, but I wish Biden would address the issue

Make a joke out of it at the start of the debate. Say something like, "I'm ready for an honest debate, Gwen. No tricks up my sleeve, no crib notes in my pocket, nothing in my ear ... not that I have enough hair to hide something anyway!" Don't address Palin, just put the idea in people's heads.

I really do wish moderators insisted on checking for devices before a debate. It doesn't have to be done on camera - just have someone check both candidates just before they walk out on stage.

[NoodleyAppendage]

42. That would be awesome! Good suggestion. n/t

J

[BattyDem]

54. In another thread, someone mentioned Biden's response to an "earmarks" discussion ...

I said he should have a Freudian slip and say "Here's my position on ear pieces, uh, I mean earmarks ... " :evilgrin:

[louis-t]

35. She's too cocky to actually listen to them.

Even if she is wired, I think she would shut it off. Remember, she's a 'maverick'. I would love to see Karl all red-faced and sweating after screaming into a mic for 90 min. that was shut off. :rofl:

[BklynChick]

37. she's definitely up to something; she never wears her hair like that.

[bdamomma]

71. maybe she wants to distract Joe.

looks suspicious, she will really look like a school girl. God, can they frisk her before she gets on stage. If her responses do not sound like when she was being interviewed by Charlie or Katie I would be very suspicious.

[DearAbby]

40. She usually wears it up because.......(Spoiler inside)

She has a huge bald spot, and The RONCO HAIR REPLACEMENT in a spray can, comes out looking like "Silly String" up in the artic cold of Alaska. Since she has come to the lower 48, she has decided on

***********SPOILER ALERT *********

hair plugs, using the long hairs from her arm pits, gives her 'do' a healthy streaked look!

[jpljr77]

43. Link to that picture? Please. n/t

[redstate_democrat]

50. here

http://thepage.time.com/2008/10/02/debate-day/

[1corona4u]

44. We need to contact the debate commission, NOW!!

Anyone have that info??

[polichick]

46. Cindy's had her hair down a lot lately too - competing with the new muse??

[Chloroplast]

112. I noticed that as well.

Cindy's hair has been looking...fuller...since the debate. Must be nice to be able to buy so much hair at a moments notice.

[RichGirl]

47. ALERT THE MEDIA.

I mean really, we must all email every media outlet about this. You know how they ramble on about anything and everything. This gives them something to speculate over.

[workinclasszero]

49. Big surprise eh?

:sarcasm:

The only way a republican can "win" is by cheating!:grr:

[Tatiana]

51. The other guy with sunglasses in the back appears to be holding back laughter. n/t

[npincus]

52. to hide the brain implant?

[global1]

56. I Heard She Also Has Her Hand Bandaged........

could be she'll have some writing on her bandage - check out this pic and imagine a bandaged hand instead:






OR

watch for this:

[justiceischeap]

58. Bandaged hand photo

[redstate_democrat]

61. I thought she had on a cast or ace bandage or something the way people were talking

Well, she could also have the receiver on her arm or waist.

[Bryn]

59. I was expecting she'd be wearing her hair down for tonight

so I am not surprised. Oh, let's wait until debate time comes, see if she still wears it down.

[last_texas_dem]

60. I liked the mini-beehive look

One of the only things I did like about Palin; it showed some individuality and gave her "personality." Now, what's there left to like about her? I can't think of anything. haha

[JuniperLea]

62. I hope she talks back to the voices in her head:)

Or puts her hand up to her ear like she's adjusting the piece... heh... all eyes will be on her tonight!

[bdamomma]

64. hmm...hiding wires are we Sarah.

[WeDidIt]

69. I'm sure somebody has thought of it

There may be radio jamming equipment in place inside the location. They do this with cell phone signals all the time in hospitals and movie theaters.

If the Obama team decided to be nasty, they could ahve a radio guy back stage ready to tune into an earpiece and start feeding her bullshit answers.

[iceman66]

94. Oh, I hope so!

[ContinentalOp]

74. Nobody should jam her signal. If she is wired and there's a signal,

somebody should just let the debate take it's course and record the signal. Then a day or two after the debates, release the tapes at a opportune time.

[Blasphemer]

79. Great suggestion

If it's jammed, she'll look foolish but she's already made a fool of herself publicly anyway so no one would be surprised. However, exposing them as cheats is another thing entirely.

[frickaline]

101. If they were seriously going to wire her, they'd encrypt the transmission

wireless IPSEC. With the right money, I'd think you could get a small enough device.

[BuyingThyme]

75. more...

[MNDemNY]

84. Where is the lipstick?

[BuyingThyme]

92. Don't be sexist.

[MNDemNY]

119. Fine, where is the lip-balm?

[Cooley Hurd]

123. Snarf! See my sig line:

[seabeyond]

78. she is acting like little helpless woman being walked to slaughter.... pathetic. n/t

[dchill]

81. I won't be worried about the outcome of the debate...

unless she comes onstage with her crossbow.

[racaulk]

82. I'm so shocked. Really. I'm series.

[truthisfreedom]

83. I called it here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=7248774

[WinkyDink]

98. YOU DID!! KUDOS!

[Zenmaster]

86. Anyway to scramble the signal?

Somebody should be there to scramble the signal, or create feedback to fuck her up

[jenmito]

87. The few times she DID have it down, she had the sides pulled back into a little

pony tail thingy in the back under her hair lump.

[nc4bo]

88. So it's safe to assume the trip to the ranch was to either implant a device or

to practice with a device hidden under her hair or both.

Let's see how she wears it tonight to be sure.

[jefferson_dem]

93. Not to be crass but...has she put on weight or is it just me?

:shrug:

[cui bono]

100. Who cares? It's not relevant.

[City Lights]

95. She's packin' an earpiece.

Fer sure.

[WinkyDink]

96. Joe should ask to see her earrings. Heh.

[doublethink]

106. Good one .... compliment her ...... then ask, ..... her vanity might just kick in .....

she lifts her hair for an instant and whoops !!! Duh I forgot .....

[AnAnonymousDemocrat]

97. Reminds me of Wynonna Judd n/t

[cui bono]

99. Good! She'll think God is speaking to her and start rambling about what he is saying

during the debate.

People all over the country will begin to question their faith. Atheists will become more convinced than ever that they are right. If there is a God s/he would at least be able to construct sentences properly.

:rofl:

[RichardRay]

102. Come on guys, I really hope she DOES have an earpiece.

She isn't smart enough to listen to what a coach is telling her and talk (or even think) at the same time. If she has an earpiece she'll be even less coherent than she normally is!

[2CheeseEnchiladas]

103. SHES HIDING A FUCKING RECIEVER !!!!!!!!!ONE!1!11ELEVENTY

[frickaline]

104. I think an earpiece, even undetected, might be as hurtful as it could be helpful

I think for someone with a proven short attention span like Sarah, multitasking in this way will prove extremely difficult, tiring, and confusing.

[2CheeseEnchiladas]

105. SHES HIDING A FUCKING RECIEVER !!!!!!!!!ONE!1!11ELEVENTY

[redirish28]

107. If she does have an ear piece I hope some time during the debate

while she's being fed the answers she says "WAIT SLOW DOWN" To me that would be icing on the cake.

[MSU_Spartans]

110. Someone needs to find the frequency...

and blast nonsense into it. Or just as a question is asked, play a loud ringing sound.

[Cooley Hurd]

121. If, all of a sudden, she cups both ears at once and screams...

...it means WE'VE JAMMED IT!:D

[XRubicon]

131. She was a local tv sportscaster

She is probably good with someone talking in her ear- that makes this even shitter... When W said "let me finish" when no one was interupting him I thought it was over for him, never misunderestimate the dumb ass red state robots...

[marshall]

108. Not fair--when Joe doesn't have enough hair to hide anything

Maybe Gwen will do a body frisking on them before the debate?

[President Decider]

111. NBC now reporting Palin just got a Brazilian Bikini wax too .....

[dascientist]

113. ROGER ROGER!

[dascientist]

114. TEN FOUR!

[rucky]

116. Underestimate her hair at your own peril.

[crankychatter]

117. best of

that there, is damned funny

[KayLaw]

122. Yes.

She's going to cheat.

[XRubicon]

124. Where is her eye patch?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiIR8DF94aU

[marmar]

125. Hopefully she'll get a loud blast of feedback from the earpiece.....

..... and start screaming hysterically: "AAAH! I COULD KILL A WOLF OR A MOOSE RIGHT NOW!"

[dennysp]

126. I mentioned it before. Yep, if her hair is down, she's got an ear piece.

[Kitty Herder]

127. I've never seen it ALL down like that.

Usually she has at least part of her hair up. That makes me very suspicious. They really should check her for wires.

[DFW]

128. About the hair, it's perfectly simple:

She was tired of being mistaken for Tina Fey

[Doremus]

130. My 18yo daughter called it this morning when she saw Palin's hair down.

Said she watched her go to move her hair back, then abruptly stop as if she remembered the wire was there.

[iamthebandfanman]

134. did she hand the baby off as soon as she got down the stairs?

and cameras werent all on her?

lol

[Waiting For Everyman]

135. That's a mistake. On her part.

She already needed a makeover to make her look more serious.

[AbbeyRoad]

138. Did the hand injury that requires a bandage happen today?

She wasn't wearing a bandage on the footage when she got off the plane with the baby.

It seems pretty fishy.
