Let us review. From Merriam Webster (that elitist dictionary):
elit·ism
Pronunciation:\ā-ˈlē-ˌti-zəm, i-, ē-\
Function: noun1: leadership or rule by an elite
2: the selectivity of the elite ; especially : snobbery
3: consciousness of being or belonging to an elite
But . . . Sarah Palin thinks being "elitist" means thinking you’re better than everyone else, that you think you can tell other people how to live their lives. So, if Mrs. Palin doesn’t think she’s an elitist, according to her definition, why does she think it’s okay to tell other people what books they can read and what other women can do (or not do) with their bodies? And if Senator McCain thinks that elitists only live in the East Coast enclaves of Washington, D.C. and New York City, why does he spend so much time there, attending the cocktail parties and jetsetting with the uber-rich lobbyists he’s so disdainful of?
Do you two contemptible, sanctimonious hypocrites want salsa to go with those chips on your shoulders? Or would you prefer cocktail sauce?

Couple of sleezy fucks!!!
Thanks WT
WT – I thought you were going to tell us that dropping $25,000 at Saks is not elitist because you do it all the time!
Hi WT.
So, from you’re use of 4 and 5 syllable adjectives I gather it is a rhetorical question and you don’t anticipate that the hypocrites in question
willCAN actually read it?I want to wake up and have it be November 5th! I was already extremely tired of this woman twelve years ago…
Should have been “your use.” That’ll teach me to be a hypocritical grammar elitist.
Those aren’t chips on their shoulders they are epaulets.
Seems tragic that McCain is still buying his suits off the rack at the Goodwill store and doing his own makeup.
EPU’d:
Hell-to-Pay voting open at DailyKos now.
All worthy candidates, but I’d recommend Rick Noriega, as this is his third appearance on the list and he was a close second to Equality-for-All last week.
Or would you prefer

Not twirling his wedding ring anymore, is he?
Actually, I think he can’t stand the sound of her voice anymore.
I voted for Dennis Shulman, NJ-05.
All are deserving. We really have a cornucopia of extraordinary Americans running on the Democratic ticket this year.
And then there’s Bruce Lunsford.
{did I say that out loud?}
I must be an elitist – I just got a tux at Value Village – for $40.00. And i’ve never done my own makeup.
John McCain is a fraud. Sarah is a quick study!
I thought Palin was all for abstinence only and this meant giving up Saks.
Sarah – “I’m not an elitist, I just
playdress like one on teevee!!”Did you notice that lately there have been a slew of candidates writing diaries at DKos? I think of it as the Tinlenberg Effect.
I think McCain feels contempt for all women. Since his gambit appears to be failing, he’s having trouble even feigning respect at this point. Before it’s over he’ll probably be treating her as badly as he treats his wife.
HA! From Kos:
Minnesota Public Radio. 10/21-22. Likely voters. MoE 4.7%.
Tinklenberg (DFL) 45
Bachmann (R) 43
Anderson (I) 5
She’s three points back according to SUSA:
SurveyUSA. 10/21-22. Likely voters. MoE 4%.
Tinklenberg (DFL) 47
Bachmann (R) 44
Anderson (I) 6
Hi Watertiger. Think they’d buy me new clothes if I told them my vote was still up for grabs? I’d be willing to move to swing state.

You know he wants to smack her one. Hell, I want to smack her one. (just kidding)
She was so glad that Hannity asked her the question about that so that she could emphatically say that she didn’t own the clothes. They would be donated to charity for the love of god!!
When does the charity open, and does Sarah get first dibbs?
I suspect McCain gets his apparel and his makeup at a mortuary, so it’s probably not cheap. A person has to be willing to pay top dollar to obtain that coveted “parlor pallor.”
Closet? The guy is clearly pissed and frustrated.
Winner of the *FUNNIEST COMMENT OF THE DAY!*
Nevermind the clothes, I want a body like hers.
I’d be willing to forgive and forget if she exits the public stage. Unfortunately, I fear she may be a rising star in the GOP, despite her role in the dismal failure that is the McCain campaign.
She was so glad that Hannity asked her the question about that so that she could emphatically say that she didn’t own the clothes. They would be donated to charity for the love of god!!
Oh, they’ll be *hers* when it comes time for donating.
You think the Palin Crime Family is gonna pass up that tax-break?
where’s our Alaska peoples here? I have a question.
And oh yeah. Didja see that large English drunk gasbag guy on Hardballs say McCain is “senile”?
Thanks! It probably also explains why he appears so stiff.
whoa. hello.
Nevermind the clothes, I want a body like hers.
With head, voice and personality transplants, I’d consider it….
What’s the question, BL?
I think it’s interesting that Bush said he and Laura voted for McCain on the same day that the SDL spoof appeared…
EPU Sarah does not know the definition of elite.
a. A group or class of persons or a member of such a group or class, enjoying superior intellectual, social, or economic status.
b. The best or most skilled members of a group:
Certainly the definition of “elitist” may be used as Sarah does. But a more correct word would be SNOB. If you receive $150,000 worth of expensive clothes for free, you probably think you are superior.
[taps finger on end of nose]
nothing but contempt.
horsey nearby?
Probably attributable to impotent rage.
Well, except that it would be like ~~~HERS~~~.
Elitist: referring to someone as a graspy arriviste…
You trying to top your own self, ratfood!!
It would greatly increase my respect for Cindy if she filed for divorce on November 5th. Not as much as if she’d done it 25 years ago.
yer gonna get SUCH a smack, Kenosha!
Agreed. Why in the world would anyone with more money than anyone could ever spend stay with John freaking McCane???
The only sense I can make of it is that she so wants 1600, that she’d sell her body and soul. Maybe daddy set her up for it.
Heh.
Working on a photshop at the moment, and popped over. Was surprised.
What do you think? It really would not surprise me at all. She has been looking really awful in the photos where she appears with him. Nodding her head, and her eyes sort of little slits….if he is so completely out of the big time, I am sure she can find more contentment/attention some place else.
Hopelessly Devoted to Sarah Palin Song
I think the idea of the secret ballot needs to be taken much more seriously. Should we really give a rat’s ass who a mean-spirited baboon like Dubya voted for?
It would greatly increase my respect for Cindy if she filed for divorce on November 5th.
I think it would be sweet if she and Laura Belle both filed on the same day…
Me, I don’t give a rat’s bladder how much of your own money you spend on clothes at one time.
Cindy McCain and Oprah can both drop $40k on a single shopping trip, but I am not certain how much else they have in common. Other than it is their money.
Such behavior in a public official without other major sources of income on the other hand is an indicator of graft and fraud.
WHAT!?! They’re not all authentic photos?
Snob
Why bother? The old boy doesn’t have much life left in him. Just wait it out and then you can play the grieving widow.
LOL
Anyone see the Mark Johnson tribute “Stand By Me” on Bill Moyers? Wow, 100 musicians and ten years to make this musical film.
Why hasn’t the McCain/Pinochet story been amplified? Did I miss it? Has it been discredited?
Thanks, just voted for Noriega.
Cheers…can’t hang around. Be sure to find the time and watch the Moyers’ show for tonight. Remarkable commentary on the financial world and a wonderful piece on music. A must see, Im telling you folks.
Trailer trash in a $150k wardrobe.
Yes…brought tears to my eyes, one more voice for hope.
What’s the tux for ET?
Playing for Change — wonderful!
And, Sarah dear, on my planet even going into Saks qualifies you as elitist.
I’d never read it before today. I think it came out too late this morning for much national attention today, and, no doubt McFailin’ will come up with something loony enoough overnight to keep the story from getting anywhere over the weekend.
I think Bush was intentionally dissing McCain. Why else would he advertise his vote. Something disturbing is up.
Can’t do that – she couldn’t wear her day-glo colors and would look awful in black. :)
Why bother?
I’m thinking that Cindy could afford her own process server, and have the papers delivered with a card:
“This is from your trollop, c*nt, soon-to-be-ex-wife”.
“Enjoy, c**k sucker!”
P.S. “I’ve changed all the locks”
“Love, Cindy.”
hahahaha~!
Good one: Hannity asking surprise questions that Sarah is excited to hear!
My impression from the brief bits of her FOX “interviews” is that they are completely scripted.
Well put. I love brevity!
There aren’t many good things one can say about Dubya but he does treat his wife with respect. That is one regard in which McCain would do well to follow his example.
When I play in bands or orchestras, or conduct. I have three now, two of them from Value Village. I wonder if there’s a Value Village in Palm Springs or near the Hamptons. I’m looking for a tails coat.
A lot of HuffPo coverage..
Fear makes him do it. She prolly has the goods on him. And Laura is smarter than Cindy.
YAY! Must have felt good.
It’s not graft or fraud if the folks picking up the tab told her it was okay. Shameful excess perhaps but no crime was committed.
presumably she’s smarter than her hubby too
It came immediately after McCain’s long rant to the Washington Times (official neocon Moonie rag) about all that Bush had done wrong. I think it was a warning to McCain not to go too far off the reservation. Or what? I don’t know.
Surely a Bush endorsement would hurt Obama worse.
Laura would never have tolerated the abuse that Cindy has. Supposedly, he quit drinking because she told him she’d leave him if he didn’t. Good for her.
She also has some history disposing of men who cross her.
i’d enjoy it more if she filed first thing monday morning!
julia is upstairs
maybe daddy likes having his own senator.
X 10!! Mofo.
I almost said that whatever virtues she might possess, driving skill isn’t among them.
Yo Ratfood, Bill Maher just said the same thing …
what reservation does shrub think that
might be I wonder. the one he is now the sole inmate of?
Excellent point!
I will. Thanks so much. I love Moyers.
Lungren getting nasty
Wow, he must’ve read my comment… Bet I didn’t even get a dishonorable mention.
He did call someone “ratface” though …
I’m thinking Bush is the top dog. Agree?
Sounds bloody.
How similar was it? I only have basic cable so I won’t see it until it makes it’s way to YouTube.
