Roger Ebert: Sarah Palin is just an "American Idol."

I won't go over the "Lipstick" thing since by the time you've read about Obama's insult here, you've probably read it everywhere. I will admit that it's obvious code. Obama may be an inexperienced candidate, but he's not outright dumb. He knew that dogwhistle.

Anygay:

Movie Critics hate Sarah Palin!

Sarah Palin is:

[T]he "American Idol" candidate. Consider. What defines an "American Idol" finalist? They're good-looking, work well on television, have a sunny personality, are fierce competitors, and so talented, why, they're darned near the real thing. There's a reason "American Idol" gets such high ratings. People identify with the contestants. They think, Hey, that could almost be me up there on that show!

And this is different from Barack Obama how, Mr. Ebert? My mind is puzzled at how the Obama-Left want to compare Obama and Palin. It really is.

Wasn't Obama the "rockstar"? That he could deliver a good speech? That he's an inspiration to so many Americans that could identify with him that "you can be anything you want to be"?

You can't accept the identity-politics of Barack Obama, and then denigrate that of Sarah Palin because she's an evil Republican! It's a losing argument.

To wit:

An Obama supporter meets someone who says "I like Obama because he's cool! He's young! He's the future!" Does that person start talking to that person about policy? Does that supporter tell this stranger "I hope you like him for more than his personal biography"? No.

Instead, they just say "Great! Tell your friends to vote! We need change from Bush!"

But if that same Obama supporter meets someone who says "I like Sarah Palin because she's cool! She's young! I like her a lot!" Would that same Obama supporter give a passing compliment or respect? "NO! SHE IS EVIL SHE WANTS TO BAN BOOKS [false] AND MAKE US A CHRISTIAN NATION [false] AND IS ABSOLUTELY WRONG FOR THIS COUNTRY [debateable, but this person isn't up for debate, mind]!"

That's how Ebert comes off. Saying one thing, but denying saying the same thing toward a comparable social reality.

You bring up sociology and Sarah Palin, you draw parallels to Barack Obama. And you look like a big, stinkin' hypocrite.

Sarah Palin: The wrong kind of woman for Oprah?

It's Drudge, so take it with a grain of salt:

"Oprah Balks at Hosting Sarah Palin; Staff Divided."

Can't give the woman her say, can we? Nope. Remember, America: Sarah Palin! She's... she's a small-town mayor! She's a hick from the sticks! She's going to force your daughters, sisters, mothers, and cousins to have babies! LOTS OF THEM!

All about the Obama-Cheer Squad trying to frame the narrative. If this is true, it makes me lose even more respect for Oprah.

Way belated Update:
Oprah denies there's any discontent within her camp. Well, oops, I'm sure there is now.

Vote or DIE! Round 2.

Thanks again, HotAir!

Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs displays eloquence and aplomb in his latest video which -- guess what? -- criticizes Sarah Palin.



Highlights:

"She's only a heartbeat away!" Sound familiar?

"There no crackheads in Alaska!" .... kay.

"Alaska?! Alaska. ALASKA?! I don't know if there's any BLACK PEOPLE in Alaska!"

Notice how he has no constructive criticism.

In "Puff Daddy's" world, Sarah Palin is just ridiculous. Not even a reason.

"Lady's nice. She cool. SHE'S A HEARTBEAT AWAY! She -- THE PRESIDENT! -- I mean! What in the HELL! Alaska?! You should have gotten MICHELLE OBAMA TO BE YOUR RUNNING MATE!"

And Sarah Palin is "irresponsible."

But then, what about Puff Daddy himself and not giving his baby's mother enough in child support?

Yeah. Irresponsible.

But, oh man. That Sarah Palin. What a wreck.
