The more I think about this story, the funnier it gets. Palin failed to understand the whole point of the gift suite, which is that you get free stuff in exchange for getting photographed with or near the vendors' merchandise. If she had allowed photographs, she could have been as pushy and grabby as she wanted, and nobody would have complained! But since she refused to be photographed, the only way the vendors could make it worthwhile was by complaining to the press about her being pushy and grabby. It's so elementary! So once again it is demonstrated that Sarah Palin, because of her narcissism and greediness, is unable to understand the simplest, most obvious concepts. I'm sure she'll be able to turn this gaffe into yet another story about her being "victimized" by the media. Praise her.
I think it's the part about making up cutesy portmanteaus for fashion items that's meant to be indicative of mental disability, not the part about wearing stretchy denim.

Actually I still didn't know what jeggings were when I posted my overly witty joke. I was just taking a stab at Sarah Palin and her family, calling them all retards.
The joke is that they are fucking stupid, but since they have a Downs Syndrome baby in their family they think they can be all, "You can't use that word, that's our word," about the word retards.
Ha! You guys can't even agree on what the joke is!
The fact is, jeggings are jeans for retards because tight jeans are supposed to render a woman basically immobile. Talk about missing the point. It's like, stretchy comfortable foot bindings that won't deform your feet.
Urg. I looked up a copy of People Style today and those things were all over it, also high heel clogs (Watcha' Waster) and other fashion debacles.
The shoes that are supposed to go with jeggings totally make up for the mobility issues of the jeggings. High heel blocks of wood, try to run in that!
No, don't. You'll bust an ankle.
Socialism is really, really bad. Downright evil, in fact. (Except when the socialists cough up an acceptable quantity of Benjamins.)

What bugs me is the whole us vs. them feel about the government. Do people even realize that they themselves pick the people who will be making all these laws, that they will be representatives of the people as a whole? That you get a government that looks like the people. Or in popular terms, the people get the government they deserve?
Ahem...
If you tell them that they pick those governing them, they'll make it clear to you that they did no such thing...they didn't vote.

That would be nice if that was the case, but it is not. All of the candidates that have any chance of winning any national election are bought and paid for by corporations, special interests, and the obscenely rich.
Even the only supposed "grass roots" movement we have available is powered by the insurance companies (in addition to being racist, anti-woman, anti-gay, and basically regular old insane).
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin -- who has gone to great lengths to hype the supposed dangers of a big government takeover of American health care -- admitted over the weekend that she used to get her treatment in Canada's single-payer system.
The horror, the horror!
