Sarah Palin: Britney Spears, Rednecks And Mum’s Bristol Fashion
SARAH Palin Watch: Anorak’s look at Sarah Palin in the news…
Will the press that left Kathryn Blair alone afford the same courtesy to Sarah Palin’s pregnant teenage daughter Bristol Palin? Go on, take a guess…
DAILY EXPRESS (front page): “SCANDAL ROCKS U.S. – The Vice Presidential candidate, her pregnant teenage daughter and the redneck boyfriend”.
Scandal, indeed. How did the Governor of Alaska replace Madeleine McCann and Princess Diana as the Express’s cover girl? And is Bristol Palin blonde enough. Discuss.

John Voight On Leaving Bristol Palin Alone
SAYS John Voight, the orginial gay cowboy:
We’re all human beings, we’ve all made mistakes in our life, unless we’re really some kind of saints that have never participated in human decisions. This kid’s going through a lot of stuff right now. I say, let’s put our attention on this kid with love and not make this trauma worse than it is.
Can you imagine her in a room trying to make a decision as to whether to tell her mom and dad about this situation? I mean that’s what I think. I think she’s going through a lot of hell, and we can make it worse or take care of her.”
Or leave her alone. Will the old media leave Bristol Palin alone, as they left Blair’s children alone, specifically Kathryn Blair?
Or does the BBC and other media not extend the same courtesy to the children of right wing or left wing politicos..?

SAYS Barack Obama of Sarah Palin:
“My understanding is that Gov. Palin’s town, Wassilla, has I think 50 employees. We’ve got 2500 in this campaign. I think their budget is maybe 12 million dollars a year – we have a budget of about three times that just for the month,” Obama responded.

Gaddafi Is Africa’s King Of Kings
MORE than 200 African kings and traditional rulers has bestowed the title “king of kings” on Libya’s leader Muammar Gaddafi.
The rulers, wearing gold crowns, sequined capes and colourful robes met in the Libyan town of Benghazi in what was billed as a first of its kind.
Col Gaddafi urged the royals to join his campaign for African unity.
Africa’s political leaders are lukewarm about his vision of merging their powers to create a single government.
“We want an African military to defend Africa, we want a single African currency, we want one African passport to travel within Africa,” Col Gaddafi told the assembled dignitaries, who come from countries such as Mozambique, South Africa, Ivory Coast and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Prince Andrew was not there…

Sarah Palin Pregnant: Picture
SARAH Palin is the victim of a crass rumour about her son/daughter Trig.
Extensive research reveals that Trig is the name of Palin’s human child and not any part of her anatomy, her daughter Bristol’s child nor the pet miniature horse she keeps in her office and feeds on human placentas.
The Gawker blog uses a Palin quote to prove something or other:

British Bulldog: Government Says Let’s Chase And Beat Up Fat Children
THE Local Government Association wants a return to the good old days of British bulldog, when schoolchildren would attempt to cross a line of their baying peers.
A touch, a smack on the back, a tap on the ankles or a straight honest-to-goodness punch in the head and the runner becomes the hunter.
Needless to say fat children were ever domed. With their fat legs, fat heads and fat minds they were ill-suited to the playground fun, acting more as bouncing bollards then actual persons.

Guardian’s Letter To America: Dear John McCain Voter…
ANORAK remembers when the Guardian tried to influence voters in the US or A who were too darn stooped to work out that George Bush was going to kill them all with his weather machine.
Operation Clark County would see Guardian readers instruct those colonial picaninnies, rednecks, white trash, gangbangers and creationists that John Kerry should be president and not George Bush.

Michelle Obama Does Cameron Crowe
MICHELLE Obama is shouting “Show Me the Money”. Write Anorak in NY:
I know I have lived in America for almost five years now and so I should be used to all of the schmaltz and ceremony of a presidential election, but do people really believe this guff? The excerpts I saw of Michelle Obama’s speech last night were more like the outtakes from a second rate Cameron Crowe movie than anything resembling real politics. So why is everyone so excited about it?
Black. White. Old Young. To the rest of the world they just all look so American…
