Completely irrelevant comment sockpuppy. And she’s governor of a state, a job that comes with just a wee bit of responisbility.

What’s the difference between Sarah Palin and Clay Bennett? Sarah Palin would know.
cdward said, 4 months ago
You know what? I don’t mind if she quit because she felt it was in the best interest of her family. If it was a crass political ploy, then it was a contemptible move that should disqualify her from ever being elected again.
Sometimes quitting is the best move – but when you’re governor of a state that has elected you to serve, it better be an extremely compelling reason.

Bennett–the sorry cartoonist–about as good as Letterman

“What’s the difference between Sarah Palin and Clay Bennett?” Bennett has some degree of competence.
HOWGOZIT said, 4 months ago
Hey great pitchers in baseball don’t finish their starts–what’s the big deal?
Kleppe–where does Bennett show competence of any degree from day to day?

HOWGOZIT, great pitches in baseball weren’t ELECTED by the American public to their positions… that is the big deal!

Howgozit – Bennett is fantastic. You (surely) disagree with EVERYTHING he says, but his ability to convey a subtle point is unparalleled.
And face it, she’s unhinged, Blago-esque in her self-adoration and unfit for command.

Clay Bennett is another Leftist fanatic that just can’t stop slamming anyone who is a Republican or not slobbering all over Obama. This cartoon is indicative of the “personality” attacks against Sarah Palin by the “suck up” Media, even though the Election has been over for months.
What is it that the Leftist’s fear from her - the Truth?
Is the only platform Leftist Media folks can take is to tear things and people down?
Tell me Clay - doesn’t look like hate speech to you?
You can’t hide behind the label of “Editorial Cartoonist”.
What is the Editorial comment we’re supposed to take away from this? The only comment I see is a poor excuse for a hateful agenda- how about pointing out the continual tearing down of the Constitution by your Demigod Obama!
Remember the comment made in Orwell’s book Animal Farm: “All Animals are equal, but some are MORE equal than others.” The Pork pigs have moved out of Farmer John’s house, and moved into the White House.
How about that for an Editorial Cartoon!

Are “right wingers” all thin skinned onions? Make a big vulgar stink in the air about anything they don’t like, then if anyone even starts to peel away their frauds they cry like babies?
HOWGOZIT said, 4 months ago
Right back at you trout–you cry more than any other left wing poster on here (exempt lalaland)
Buzzy-One said, 4 months ago
With help from Howee who nees enemies! As I sad it’s pathetic how the wing nuts cling to a weak minded looser.

1Go, sadly “hate speech” is not defined as anything you don’t like.

Okay, so quitting is the ‘Best Interest’ for her family. Thenn how is her Running for President going to be ‘Good’ for her Family. Her Running for President would be very bad for her Family as she would be away from them for way too long.

Bennett deliberately made her look short and frumpy like Hillary. Saw her last night in chest high waders and she was still hot. Wouldn’t vote for her though(again).

Too bad McCaine chose her for his running mate. Now it unfairly questions his ability to chose a reliable running mate and Cabinet in future elections.

What exactly have I cried about Howgozit? Or are you just mad that I call you on your off-the-wallness?

OK, so Sarah Palin made a big splash with the pit bull joke… over and over and over again. It was a joke that illustrated how tough, or how much of of fighter she was.
Now, as she is QUITTING her job as Governor because the political winds in Alaska have turned against her, Bennett is using the joke to illustrate that she’s not tough, or a fighter at all- she’s a quitter.
It seems like fair comment to me.
Bennett is not making fun of her family in this cartoon, so the Letterman comparison is lame. This cartoon is not, in any way, a personal attack, seeing that it is about her actions as a public figure.
What’s the f-ing beef?
