Loved that trilogy. Has anyone read the continuation by the other author? (whose name escapes me)

I have read them both and they aren't Ludlum, but are good. It follows the elite of the elite theme and the "there it was, he couldn't define the movement, but he knew it was there" routine.

My biggest concern as a McCain/Palin supporter is that she will be torn between her duties as VP and her duties as a mother. And if she neglected her children because of her VP tasks I would be understanding, but still disappointed.

That right there is a sexist remark. If a man can be VPOTUS and not get the neglect tag, so should a woman.

Was it just me, or did Charlie Gibson seem to be pissed at her? Seemed like an interrogation rather than an interview.

He didn't do anything overtly hostile but he did have that look about him the whole interview.

I mean I could see some benefits to Palin being President. Anyone who supports whorish teenage girls such as her daughter might steal my vote. Other than that, no. :whistling:

No offense intended, but would you be so quick to throw around the words "whorish teenage girls" if God forbid you had a pregnant teenage daughter? Would it be better to murder that little baby. I mean we would still have a "whorish teenage girl" plus a murdered baby. Let us know if and when you ever make a mistake.

Yeah, I guess according to OWB, that would make the mother of my daughter a whore.

I honestly think that's a legitimate concern for a mother of 5 with a special needs child. It's not belittling the woman, just pointing out that the demands of the two functions, VP and Mom, might be a bit overwhelming. One of the two will likely suffer from inattention and it's most likely to be the family.

That had to be the toughest part of her decision to take the position.

Why? Aren't we all wanting fathers to play a bigger role? I don't think this is a big deal since Mr. Palin can assume the duty.

I'm not calling it a big deal. I'm just pointing out that making the statement was a far cry from sexist.

Well, I guess after the myriad of times I have been called sexist on here for not liking Palin that I actually am defending her on this issue confuses me.

It might be a legitimate concern, but the basis for making it a concern is sexist imo. Women enter the work force every day and hardly anyone notices.The simple fact that she is running for VPOTUS should not matter any different. I would wager that after the whirlwind tour of meeting and greeting people her workload would be not much more than that of her current position. I believe that women and children would greatly benefit from stay-at-home-moms, but to say that she should because she is a woman is sexist.

it's being said because she is the mother of a special needs child. Otherwise, it wouldn't be out there at all, IMO.

Olbermann needs to replace Alan Comes. Imagine Hannity and Olbermann. That would give me a headache.

I'd rather not. Forget the new LHC in Europe. Bringing those two together could potentially destroy the entire universe.
