Palin is the Clarence Thomas of Women’s Issues
Trish Ponder | Aug. 31, 2008

Someone should stand up and say: ‘I know Senator Clinton. Senator Clinton is a friend of mine. [...]

Samantha Bee Nails Palin, Even With Her “Fun Pouch”
Trish Ponder | Aug. 31, 2008

The Daily Show’s Samantha Bee expresses perfectly how the Republicans who selected Sarah Palin as John McCain’s running mate must think women — or should I say, Vagina-Americans — operate. If you haven’t seen this, you must.

Trish Ponder | Aug. 29, 2008

CNN’s Jack Cafferty:
All we have heard from John McCain for months is, “Barack Obama is too young. Barack Obama is too inexperienced to be commander-in-chief. Who do you want answering the phone in the White House at three a.m.? * Blah, blah, blah.”

Confirmation that Palin Pick Was a Mistake
Buck Banks | Aug. 29, 2008

I just received in my in-box incontrovertible confirmation that John’s McCain’s choice of a running mate was a really bad one — arch-conservative Richard Viguerie thinks it’s a good one.
