The BBC Underdoes Sarah Palin
SARAH Palin on the BBC, which is part of the media:
THE PAIN FOR PALIN. Sarah Palin(Did I mention she has a pregnant unmarried 17 year old daughter?) has given a wonderful speech at the RNC and the BBC are most unhappy about it. I caught James Naughtie being interviewed about it at 6.35am this morning on Today and all he could observe was that by Palin (Did I mention she has a pregnant unmarried 17 year old daughter?) going for Obama – the Chosen One – she now left herself open to attack by Obama. Seriously!! As if the orchestrated and frenzied attacks on Sarah Palin and her famly by the Dem attack dogs and their media chattels since last Friday were just political foreplay.
One thing about Palin – Obama’s almost disappeared…

YOU’RE not allowed to fight beardswith dogs, and very soon you might not be allowed to use bears as hats.

GARY Glitter was on the runway last night. ITN news broadcast pictures of his plane, in scenes not witnessed since the PLO (Paedo Liberation Army) was in its pomp.
