Talk show host Ellen Degeneres has only recently become involved in the campaign to defeat Proposition 8 in California. But on today’s show, Ellen gave an emotional speech on Sarah Palin, a federal ban on gay marriage, and equal rights in general.

Some of Ellen’s comments:
“I don’t know what people are scared of. Maybe they think that their children will be influenced. And I gotta say I was raised by two heterosexuals. I was surrounded by heterosexuals just everywhere I looked heterosexuals. And they did not influence…. I mean I dabbled in high school, who didn’t?”
“People are gonna be who they’re gonna be. And we need to learn to love them for who they are and let them love who they want to love.”

That would be over $150,000 in about two months. According to Politico.com, the Republican National Committee appears to have spent more than $150,000 to clothe and accessorize vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and her family since her surprise pick by John McCain in late August.
According to financial disclosure records, the accessorizing began in early September and included bills from Saks Fifth Avenue in St. Louis and New York for a combined $49,425.74.
The records also document a couple of big-time shopping trips to Neiman Marcus in Minneapolis, including one $75,062.63 spree in early September.
The RNC also spent $4,716.49 on hair and makeup through September after reporting no such costs in August.
Politico asked the McCain campaign for comment, explicitly noting the $150,000 in expenses for department store shopping and makeup consultation that were incurred immediately after Palin’s announcement. Pre-September reports do not include similar costs.
Spokeswoman Maria Comella declined to answer specific questions about the expenditures, including whether it was necessary to spend that much and whether it amounted to one early investment in Palin or if shopping for the vice presidential nominee was ongoing.

NewsWeek put an unflattering photo of Palin on the cover. She says she’s one of us, the regular old people and they put a regular ass photo of her on the cover. Hahaha!
Palin was featured as the cover story “She’s One of the Folks”, which highlighted Palin’s “Joe Six-Pack” appeal, but questioned its relevancy to her VP candidacy. The article cited her interview with Katie Couric as a sign that she piques the interest of voters due to her common appeal.

This chick could be your next VP of America.

Cafferty is old and grumpy but always makes good and accurate points. He lit into Sarah Palins ass and light weight checked Wolf Blitzer.

Sarah Palin has yet to do one interview, we don’t know any of her personal views. All we’ve heard from her is the bullsh!t that speech writers wrote for whoever was going to run in the VP spot. What we did know is the following:
**Sarah Palin hired a lobbyist to secure earmarks for Alaska but she said she’s against frivolous spending and lobbyist in government.
**She said she voted against the bridge to nowhere but she said she supported it and she used the earmarks attributed to the bridge for other things in the state.
**Self interest over state interest. She charged her own state a per diem for living in her own home and that totaled over $17,000. It was intended for travel expenses and not meant to scam taxpayers.
**She made rape victims pay for their own rape kits.
**She used state money to pay travel expenses for her kids and husband and that totaled about $50,000.
**She tried to have her brother in law fired to help her sister win custody of her kids.
**She cost a man his career because he didn’t follow through with her request to fire her brother in law.
**She criticized and stopped other state employees for doing the same things.
**She traveled outside the United States one time in her whole life.
**She’s still reciting that same damn speech, over and over and over again.
**She never sold the state jet on Ebay but their still reporting that lie.
**She never fired the governor’s chef that she keeps saying she fired, she gave her a new title and the chef still cooks for her family.
Sarah Palin it just keeps getting better.
