She certainly won't give up the media attention she so blatantly shows no shame in perverting and exploiting for her own promotion. She is far too enamored with herself. As someone else once commented (and I paraphrase)...."anyone who takes that many contrived photos of herself can't be taken seriously".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4924392915564296358.post-68834383350569164642010-06-09T15:02:17.614-05:002010-06-09T15:02:17.614-05:00The Gulf oil crisis is showing many people how the...The Gulf oil crisis is showing many people how the Tea Party is hypocritical. Example: Michelle Bachmann rants about making government smaller in front of 70K to 2 million TP'ers, depending on who you believe. Then, BOOM, BP screws up the Gulf. Now, Bachmann wonders why the hell Obama isn't using "executive authority to commandeer boats" to "deal with the oil plumes". Marco Rubio is on the same page with Bachmann and there are many others. Hannity, Rushbo, Jindal and even part-time governor Palin is weighing in on this issue. Of course Palin claims that off-shore drilling is "safe and environmentally friendly".<br /><br />Hypocrites, each and every one of them. Is it any wonder their influence is fading? And it's fading during a mid-term election period when historically the ruling party loses seats.Russ Weisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15894042748099997580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4924392915564296358.post-78913978887762347232010-06-09T14:20:15.983-05:002010-06-09T14:20:15.983-05:00Thanks Tim.
