Fact or fiction? Time will tell

Tue, 09/23/2008 - 3:28pm

By: Letters to the ...

With Sarah Palin now just a “party” away from being the first woman vice president, the now defunct 2005 TV series, “Commander In Chief,” came to mind. The series’ fictional character, Mackenzie Allen, is the first woman VP.

The similarities continue. Both Palin and Allen have relatively little public office experience; both are in the same age group; are devoted mothers deeply involved in their children’s day-to-day activities; and both have great legs.

The premise of the show deals with the sudden death of the president with the VP taking over the Oval Office, with very little in her background to prepare her for the role as commander in chief.

The grim facts of life might suggest that this show was a little ahead of its time, and what was fictional in 2005 might be a reality in the not-too-distant future.

First woman VP?

Palin would make a far better Commander in Chief than the race-baiting, friend of a terrorist, socialist, marxist Obama or his train wreck of a VP pick Joe Biden.

Wrong again, Garvin

I know that narrow-minded bigots like you have a vested interest in keeping Americans from discussing the actual issues, but for the umpteenth time:

Obama is not a race baiter.
Obama is not a friend of a terrorist.
Obama is not a socialist.
Obama is not a Marxist.

For you to insist otherwise in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary reflects poorly on you.

Hey, Sarah Palin...

Hey. {{{{EDITED & WARNED}}}}}}Fred Garvin... Can you back up you

cause I'd love to talk this one over with ya Eye-wink . Tell us about Putin rearing his head over the , you know, air space. Can you describe one of those trade missions between Sarah Palin's Alaska and Russia? Any idea why she is blocking the BI-PARTISAN investigation she once welcomed, or why she keeps lying about killing a bridge to nowhere, firing a chef that still is on the payroll, being anti-earmark when she leads the nation per capita, or selling a plane on Ebay that was actually sold through a broker? Ohhh yeahhh. Great president you cartoon!

Edited & Warned? Cal Beverly got snookered!

Jeez, Cal, you're a great guy and all, but you sure got snookered this time.

"Fred Garvin, Male Prostitute" is a Saturday Night Live character.

Diva got a warning today? bwwwwwaaaaahhhhhhh......

Submitted by meanoldconservatives on Fri, 09/26/2008 - 12:25pm.

That is truly shocking since her posts are normally so calm, intelligent, and well thought out. bwwwwwaaaaaahhhhhh....

And what president was the eloquent one referring to here? Let's see....Putin is Prime Minister of Russia (although he was President at one time) and Sarah Palin is running for Vice-President. And, I don't think Fred Garvin is or has been president. Hmmmm, that is confusing.

And then she further displays her intelligence and maturity by calling Fred a "cartoon". Wow Fred, that had to have hurt.....

Woo Hoo! I made a ripple in the pool. Cal: about "Prostitute"

Submitted by diva on Fri, 09/26/2008 - 2:32pm.

Fred Garvin is actually a character played y Dan Aykroyd on Saturday Night Live. Fred Garvin was, in actuality, a male prostitute. Hence me calling Fred Garvin a "male prostitute." The blogger using Fred Garvin surely knows why they use that TV name and where they got it from. They did not like the content of my post so they feigned contempt for the name that they took the time to steal from SNL. Now THAT is funny Smiling
