Sarah Palin’s Bio (VIDEO)

September 4th, 2008 at 12:39 by MsUnderestimated

This was supposed to have been shown last night to introduce Sarah, but they ran out of time after Rudy’s speech. So the RNC authorized Fox News to show it today. The video is narrated by none other than conservative Hollywood favorite, Jon Voight.

Or you download the very touching tribute here.

Sarah-Cuda Appears at the RNC (VIDEOS)

September 4th, 2008 at 12:36 by MsUnderestimated

Wow… just wow. Sarah Palin’s appearance tonight at the RNC was above and beyond what any of us could have expected. She pulled no punches, and make her opinions clear; I cannot WAIT for the Palin/Biden debate. From ABC News, here’s a partial transcript of the 40-minute speech:

And I accept the privilege of serving with a man who has come through much harder missions … and met far graver challenges … and knows how tough fights are won - the next president of the United States, John S. McCain.

It was just a year ago when all the experts in Washington counted out our nominee because he refused to hedge his commitment to the security of the country he loves.

With their usual certitude, they told us that all was lost - there was no hope for this candidate who said that he would rather lose an election than see his country lose a war.

But the pollsters and pundits overlooked just one thing when they wrote him off.

They overlooked the caliber of the man himself - the determination, resolve, and sheer guts of Senator John McCain. The voters knew better.

And maybe that’s because they realize there is a time for politics and a time for leadership … a time to campaign and a time to put our country first.

Our nominee for president is a true profile in courage, and people like that are hard to come by.

He’s a man who wore the uniform of this country for 22 years, and refused to break faith with those troops in Iraq who have now brought victory within sight.

And as the mother of one of those troops, that is exactly the kind of man I want as commander in chief. I’m just one of many moms who’ll say an extra prayer each night for our sons and daughters going into harm’s way.

Check out her entire speech in portions here, here & here.

Megyn Kelly Smackdown of US Weekly Editor (VIDEO)

September 3rd, 2008 at 06:47 by MsUnderestimated

Today on Fox News, Megyn Kelly got into a smackdown with US Weekly Sr. Editor Bradley Jacobs, whose magazine ran a very scathing story and ugly cover on their latest edition about Sarah Palin.

See Michelle Malkin’s excellent coverage of this exercise in liberal media bias, and for the comparison of covers between Palin’s and one recently about Barry O. Here’s the cover in question:

Mr. Jacobs kept trying to pull the “well if people will just read the article, blah, blah, blah,” and Megyn shot right back several times “I DID read the article… I DID read the article.” Jacobs began stuttering and stammering like Barack Obama without a teleprompter.

I will never every buy this rag EVAH! I’m asking all of my readers to do the same.

You can watch the takedown here.

One final funny note… I typed in the most logical URL to get to the US Weekly magazine site so I could link their site as a source here, and was delighted to find this website - someone is very very clever, and I like it a lot! I wonder how long it’s been around? Go check it out.

Anarchy In Minnesota (VIDEO)

September 1st, 2008 at 11:10 by MsUnderestimated

From the Twin Cities Pioneer Press:

Local police are using a combination of pepper spray, concussion grenades and tear gas on a group of breakaway protesters gathered on Kellogg Boulevard in downtown St. Paul. The group of about 150 protesters, many thought to be with the group “Funk the War,” had been blocking traffic for much of the afternoon.

At least one person — a young man wearing a gas mask, no shirt and a backpack — was taken into custody. He lay down on the street as a group of officers surrounded him and took him away.

Police also escorted a group of 17 mostly black-clad youth across the Robert St. Bridge in an apparent effort to get them out of downtown.

Rubber bullets were fired into a crowd at Seventh and Robert Streets. At Seventh and Jackson, police have more than a dozen people in a parking lot as police handcuff them. Police continued to spray the crowd with pepper spray. More details are to come.

The confrontations continued after a main group of anti-war protesters marching from the state Capitol peacefully reached the Xcel Energy center in downtown St. Paul earlier today.

All day, breakaway groups of protesters roamed throughout downtown, blocking traffic and breaking windows. A group calling itself “Funk the War” temporarily blocked traffic across the Wabasha Street Bridge until mounted police moved them along. Three bus loads of reinforcements joined bicycle and mounted police, gathering at Kellogg and Wabasha, wearing gas masks.
