Hillary Clinton is a strong, poised, intelligent, inspiring, capable and hard-working public servant.

Susan Sarandon is a pathetic, classless, clueless, haggard, bitter, has-been celebrity.

kit, I hope you are not questioning the intelligence of one of my fave posters Ms. Syko. No, I’m sure you must have meant that to read ” as long as we agree Sarah Palin’s comments are no more than a form of light entertainment” etc. By all indications Ms. Syko is the real deal and far from dumb.

As long as we all agree that Syko’s comments are no more than a form of light entertainment, then I guess we can all sleep at night. Cause no one can really be that dumb, right?

just one quick comment per sycho’s remark about w and “having a bigger dick than your daddy did.” (agreed with everything else you said, sycho)

i think it’s probably the opposite: having a smaller, softer one than poppa, makes for a very angry man, one with a massive chip on his shoulder. one who doesn’t mind destroying this country and all that it stands for, to try and prove that he’s right and poppa was wrong.

and for anyone who has wised up to w’s stupidity and lies, please, please see sarah palin for what she is. just another w. folksy, charming, instead of talking about clearing brush on the ranch in texas, she’s talking about eating moose meat in alaska. so she’s entertaining, give her a late night talk show, but don’t vote her into a heartbeat away from the presidency. not unless you want another 4 years of bush’s failed policies. bigger deficits, more unemployment, big oil getting richer while most of us get poorer. and our boys continuing to come home in body bags. please stop the insanity.

Well, this article doesn’t mention when SS made the comments. They could be months old

If Susan Sarandon, an actress whose work and politics I usually admire, wants to help young women venturing into the political arena, I suggest she be a little more honest about the battle they will have to wage. One does not have to look far (Chris Mathews, Maureen Dowd, Frank Rich, Keith Olbermann, Tucker Carlson, among others) too find myriad examples of sexism in this campaign. Hillary Clinton did not run a good campaign, but that does not excuse the media for its actions and the Democratic Party for its silence. (How nice of Howard Dean to admit the taint of sexism in the campaign after Obama had sewn up the nomination.)

More problematic, however, is the timing of Ms. Sarandon’s comments. When Obama needs the support of all Democrats, even those disaffected Hillary supporters, why would anyone go out of her way to antagonize them, particularly in light of Sarah Palin’s powerful, galvanizing speech.

I can’t imagine what prompted this outburst or what Ms. Sarandon thought it would accomplish. All she succeeded in doing is reminding us of the blatant sexism we witnessed, and making us wonder if she needs glasses.

I realize a lot of Hillary Clinton supporters have blamed sexism for her loss but has Hillary Clinton ever blamed it on sexism? Not to my knowledge, but maybe I’ve missed it. If not, this is entirely across the line. How shocking from Susan Sarandon. Because an answer like this isn’t dishonorable and disrespectful to women and to the records Hillary Clinton did set, like her or not. I don’t understand the point of this kind of nastiness as a response, particularly when it’s this direct towards someone in a totally different area and unprovoked. Maybe I’m just sensitive that way though.

I’d much rather someone tell me straight up that my taxes are going to go up as opposed to getting a “huge” surprise in the very near future along the lines of a country in full default! Someone is going to have to pay taxes. Especially since certain smaller (yet powerful) cross-section of individuals are so keen on continuing to fund two wars, paying welfare to Arab and eastern European countries and giving tax breaks to individuals who need them the least I bet McCain, Palin, Sarandon and their buddies enjoy those breaks while reaping in huge dividends. Never mind that the country’s infra structure is crumbling right before our very eyes, jobs continue to leave and a depression looms over head with a deficit so large I can’t even picture all the zeros in it.
Whatever happened to moderates with a true sense of what this country was suppose to stand for? Now all we’ve got running the country are bullies, liars, fakes, the terrifying fringe and gleeful dumb-asses. Looks like the moderates have gone the way of the Susan B. Anthony dollar. Sitting around in some dark and dank lost sock drawer. McCain obviously didn’t want to be left in the drawer. He’s selfish and so greedy to win, that he could care less about the wreakage he’ll leave after his one-term tenure as president. And Palin…oh, pa-leeze! But, hey, it ain’t no big thang! Or is it?

I fear for my country!
