Palin Hairdresser: NYT Was Lying About "Hair Thinning" Claim; UPDATE: NYT Replies
Chalk this up as Stupid Palin Meme of the Week:
In a July 12th hit piece published on the front page of the New York Times, reporters Jim Rutenberg and Serge Kovaleski (assisted by Kim Severson and William Yardley in Alaska) made the following claim:
Friends worried that she appeared anxious and underweight. Her hair had thinned to the point where she needed emergency help from her hairdresser and close friend, Jessica Steele.
“Honestly, I think all of it just broke her heart,” Ms. Steele said in an interview at her beauty parlor in Wasilla, the Beehive.
This tidbit was seized upon and has bounced through the Internet and blogosphere -- a Google search for "Palin hair thinned" now returns nearly 400,000 hits. Lefties such as Eleanor Clift seized on it as some kind of meme that Palin can't handle stress.
Well, Jessica Steele, proprietor of The Beehive and the Palin friend and hairdresser quoted by the NYT, is outraged at the claim and making it known through a forum immediately available - her Twitter feed:
I am Sarah Palin's hairdresser in Alaska! The media is saying Sarah's hair is thinning this is a lie!!! I never said this and it's not true!

I will continue 2 tell people: I never said Sarah Palin's hair is thinning! The Left is desperate to attack Sarah Palin with stupid lies!!!

Tweetie
@LoLornaMarie I'm trying! U don't mess with a hairdresser and her client! It's a precious relationship! Don't mess with my girl Sarah Palin!Tweetie in reply to LoLornaMarie
She's still Tweeting away about this...you go, Jessica! Don't ever try to get between a hairdresser and her client, NYT.
UPDATE: Instalanche! Welcome, Instapundit readers...feel free to look around, we're the go-to folks for all news Palin. Glance through some of our featured posts to the right, and come back if you like what you see.
UPDATE II: I had missed this but Gateway Pundit caught it - Keith Olbermann and Chris Cillizza were spreading this lie around on MSNBC, too.
UPDATE III: Anyone else besides me think this is a sexist attack by the NYT? Has anyone seen MSM commentary on Sotomayor's 80s-hair, or Vladimir Putin's dome?
UPDATE IV: Via Editor & Publisher, the NYT is defending the story:
Times spokeswoman Diane McNulty sent the following e-mail:
"Kim Severson, the reporter who interviewed Jessica Steele at some length in her salon for the article, received an e-mail from her early on July 13 saying, 'Thank you so much for the article!! It was perfect!'
"In several later conversations, she confirmed that view. Therefore, we believe our reporting is accurate."
However, Steele is not giving up the fight:
I have repeatedly asked Kim for the supposed "email" she spoke of she will not send a copy because it doesn't exist there is no such email.
11 minutes ago from Tweetie
I wouldn't have used the word "perfect" I say fabulous!
10 minutes ago from Tweetie
A FINAL UPDATE: Clark Hoyt, the Public Editor at the New York Times, has provided to us an email that appears authentic and also appears to reflect Ms. Steele's then-appreciation of the article she reviewed. The email does not corroborate the disputed quote but it did not contradict it either.

VO,
A more comprehensive AP report on her trip to Unakeleet.
http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5illexPZsCzzxjlIGyNHi67btTcjwD99HM8NO0
I've been following JessicaBeehive for a week now...yes, she's been adamant that she never intended to hint, suggest, claim, or otherwise indicate that Palin's hair was in any sort of emergency one-step-removed-from-going-bald sort of condition or that Gov. Palin had some sort of emotional breakdown that was manifesting in poor hair quality.
Basically, what she meant was that Palin's hair hadn't been reacting well to various hair care products she had been previously using; the emergency "fix" was in using different over-the-counter hair products.
Please, NYT, find me a middle-aged adult woman who hasn't experienced such an emergency and I'll show you a unicorn.
The "balding" story I mentioned in a prior comment is no joke.
"Sarah Palin lost weight & was balding due to stress: report"
http://www.examiner.com/x-14380-NY-Celebrity-Fitness-and-Health-Examiner~y2009m7d13-Sarah-Palin-lost-weight--was-balding-due-to-stress-report?#comments
I commented there:
"anon says:
Balding?
No. This is false.
Jessica Steele did not say it, nor is it true.
Sarah is not balding. Sarah's hair is not thinning.
This is what Jesseca Steele, Sarah Palin's hairdresser says on her JessicaBeehive twitter account:
"I am Sarah Palin's hairdresser in Alaska! The media is saying Sarah's hair is thinning this is a lie!!! I never said this and it's not true!
40 minutes ago"
"They say it was an exclusive from her hairdresser! Makes me sick!
24 minutes ago"
"Sarah Palin's hair was stressed out and "emergency" fixed by using NANO works by Pureology! NOT thinning out!
3:21 PM Jul 13th"
Check the pureology website for nanoworks.
Yes, shampoo solved the problem.

Bald? No!
There is a completely sexist story and has no business being a part of journalism.
But this fits into a new narrative that Obama and his war room have recently generated: that Sarah is erratic, can't stand stress, buckles under pressure, would not be a good leader.
Couple that with the unsophisticated bimbo narrative that Sarah is stupid you have a person who is not qualified to be POTUS.
Obama and the war room are very devious and insidious. They know exactly what they are doing. Never doubt it that they are dedicated on a 24/7 basis to destroy Sarah.
OT, sort of.
"Just ask Republican Gov. Sarah Palin."
http://blogs.dailymail.com/donsurber/2009/07/19/losing-his-cool/
Jessica should sue the NYT for libel. Maybe someone who understands twitter can send her a tweet about this suggestion?
I don't mean to be harsh or to stoop to the level of the NYT, but where is the story about how President Obama's hair has been graying noticeably since he became President?
Ha! I second that 'Go Girl!' (from Juju).
They grow 'em strong up in AK!
Meanwhile, the Times gets more and more pathetic each day. I wonder if Jessica could manage to squeeze a retraction out of them? Hm, maybe.
The upside to this lame episode is that I can now add another person to my Twitter follow list! Give 'em heck, Beehive!
Sounds like she's moving out of the governor's mansion today.

Can't imagine Sarah Palin being "anxious" and not able to handle stress...
Didn't she take down a moose?!!
Brian,
Could you or someone tweet her and ask what she means by "buy American?"
A new Industrial Revolution? Sounds good to me as long as it is private citizens embracing "buy American" through their own choices rather than the government forcing private citizens to embrace "buy American."
Tommy, I doubt she pays attention to her incoming tweets.... she probably receives thousands (or more) per day, some of it being garbage.
All of this nonsense started when a Washington Times reporter who interviewed Sarah(and had nothing but wonderful things to say about her) said that his only concern about Sarah was that she appeared to have lost some weight, which is true, if you look at the photos of her recently she has lost weight, so I can understand the reporters concern, but this whole "thinning hair" garbage, is to imply that Sarah is anorexic or something, she is NOT. She is an avid runner, she runs everyday. Of course the stress has affected her, but she is not hurting herself. The NY Slimes never ceases to amaze me with their stupidity. Now they are quoting people who NEVER talked to them. What else is knew, not even liberals read that dirty rag anymore. I have talked to Jessica many times on Twitter, she is also a member of TeamSarah(Or at least used to be) she is a really nice person and not a liar. The NY Slimes should be ashamed of themselves, but I doubt they are, they have NO soul
Hey, Pureology hair care products ROCK! I can't afford to buy the stuff right now, but if you have the means, I highly recommend it. Smells wonderful.
Go Sarah ... And kudos to the hair care professional!
p.s. Yeah, Sarah sure looks bald and stressed to me. Good one Obots!
;-)
@TommyReport
I think what she is saying what everyone is saying right now. We should invest in the US economy to get us out of this rut. Buy American, like cars and stuff. I don't see anything wrong with that. It's not like she's saying "Buy American or else" She is just merely making a suggestion
Lakers,
That's my point. The issue with "Buy American" wouldn't be an issue of we all personally invested.
"Buy American" is only an issue when it restricts what we can purchase to American products.
I would just want her to clarify the distinction.
TommyReport: As i read the AP story you posted i got the impression the people were expressing thier feeling's threw frustration and remorse. It read like the citizen's were truly saddened to see her step down especially when the last guy expressed the fact Alaska was loosing it's greatest asset Palin.
We are watching a game of cat and mouse here. Unfortunately for them, the people that think they are the cat, don't realize they are actually the mouse. And the cat ain't no house cat, it's a full grown, lioness. She has made a couple of swipes at the little critter, playing with it, batting it around a little. Letting the rodent scamper a few steps, getting far enough away, that it thinks it has outrun the danger. She is just playing with you.
Just a few more days of this, mouse, just a few more days! The lioness is marshalling her strength, and gathering herself before the game really begins!
OT:
I really like this quote from the expanded article Tommy Report listed about her trip to Unalakleet.
"Once I am 'Sarah Palin, Alaskan,' I can really call it like I see it," she said
WOW I love that. Sarah is obviously raring to go and Obama has given her plenty to "call" like she sees it.
In a just world any reporter who wilfully lies in a news piece should be drummed out of the profession and the media organisation responsible forced to pay a massive fine.
Unfortunately though we live in the age of Obama and lying to the American public seems to be par for the course when it comes the administration and the media organisations that are its willing accomplices.
It's too bad that Pureology isn't a public co. I'de buy some stock in it. Thanks for the link. It's even a "green" and "local" hair product. This might send the libs into a hair spin....
I hope Sarah's "Buy American" meme is only getting lost in the Twitter limitation of characters.
Sarah -please advocate for the banning of unions from our economy and we may able to one day "Buy American" w/out it destroying the family budget. And, as long as the Asians keep building higher quality cars in non-union, right-to-work Southern states, I will keep buying Asian-owned cars.
She should sue the NYT!!
Obama, a lifelong smoker, has aged ten years in six months and had a mother who died of cancer before she turned 50.
Where's the front page story about THAT?
Gardunne,
I agree with the general point of your post but banning of unions? It's not the government's role to step in and prohibit the freedom of individuals to associate. The problem with unions isn't the unions themselves in my opinion. The problem is that government policies have been enacted to provide unions with an advantage in their negotiations with employers.
If "Buy America" is a voluntary act, it's not an issue. "Buy America" becomes a problem when it is a governmental policy.
gardunne. She defended the pipeline deal with a Canadian company when others demanded that it should have been an American company, so I don't see this "Buy American" as protectionism, more like drill here. Twitter makes stuff cryptic .
Governor Palin is a woman, so, of course she can't be anywhere near The Button!
If she would be in the White House and this devastating losing hair situation actually happened! Oh gosh, get the guy with the nuclear code out of the room!
How about if she dares to get pregnant again, you know how pregnant women are! Maybe that truly IS the reason she resigned, hormones going whackadoodle and all.
When she is carrying the baby, she might not like how much weight she gained. She could conceivably see herself in the mirror, march right over to The Button, and nuke some poor country into oblivion. All because she is a woman and was distressed by the way she looks!
What if she is pregnant, gets up in the middle of the night for some pickles and ice cream, gets that 3 a.m. emergency phone call, and we all wake up to World War III. Because she got the call just as she was about to shovel that first bite of Rocky Road into her mouth.
Let's not go down the path of what would happen if she broke a nail, showed up to a shindig wearing exactly the same dress as another woman, or she got a run in her hose!
So, let me get this straight, lefties, no woman should be allowed to be Commander in Chief? Right? Have I got that right?
No, actually, any woman but Governor Palin.
And there it is.
I found this pic. linked on Twitter.

Talk about thinning hair...just click on the larger version...Man.
I think Barack should just shave it at this point.
TangledThorns -
She can't sue because it is implied in the paper. They didn't quote her saying Sarah's hair was thinning, but they wrote a sentence before it implying that Jessica had said it, so it'll be a tough fight.
Keith Olbermann spent a segment of his show talking about Sarah's "thinning" hair. It's even on YouTube. It's so unfair because they're just saying that she can't handle stress.
LOL!
this is too stinkin hilarious... they have all these other stories to cover.. like unemployment.. CA going bankcrupt.. CIT filing for bankcruptcy and how this will hurt severely small/medium sized businesses.
AND THEY COVER GOVERNOR PALIN'S HAIR??
I'm sorry.. I am just cracking up here.. this is hysterical to me..
I have been a subcriber of the NYT for 11 years.. I cancelled last year after the hit jobs they did on Hillary and then Mccain...
It appears my decision was correct.... NYT == Toilet paper...
no wonder they are losing readers like crazy...
--Palin Democrat
How can a Newspaper get away with quoting someone they never interviewed? Isn't that illegal? I thought newspapers had to write facts and keep opinions to the opinion page! I'm I wrong?
Clift, Noonan and their little clique are the grown up version of "mean girls." If they can't win on a level playing field, they resort to catty remarks,gossip and lies. These womyn have set real women back fifty years by their stereotypical biatchy behavior.
PS. Maybe Clift should check with HER hairdresser, her locks are looking kinda skanky lately.
Nancy. LOL. Yeah, can't let a hormonal woman with thin hair near the Nukes!
The sexism just keeps hitting new lows. Are people going to wake up 20 years from now and go, "Wow, we really acted like ***holes. We treated two women leaders worse than bigots treated blacks in the deep south back in the day."
Yeah, maybe ...
Sorry-misspelled "Am I wrong"?
I see Ron Paul is trying to curry favor with the MSM by trashing Palin and her supporters in an interview with Politico. Says we're all Country Club Republicans. Let's all of us start by listing how many country clubs we belong to. I'll for first
0
The NYT used 5 reporters to cover the story....can they even afford to pay that may reporters?
what the hell is a "country club republican"? heck.. I'm not even a republican.. I'm a democrat.. and certainly NOT a country club one!
as for Ron Paul.. I gotta admit I do like some of his ideas.. but some of his supporters are a bit too nutty for me..
(and in 2007 interview when Palin was asked which repub she admires.. she said Ron Paul.. b/c "he challenges the system").. what a freaking clueless man Dr. Paul is!
--Palin Democrat
Greg, make that zero so far.
I bussed tables at one once when I was 15. For a night...
Turns out RP is just another political hack, or his age is catching up to him.
nancy,
I have many sub-interests, as I am sure you do, too. one of mine is abuse.
There are at least 7 abuses -- physical, mental or psychological, religious, financial, sexual, geographic, and abuse of trust.
Sarah was being abused in at least 5 ways and perhaps 6, if her weight loss could be counted as physical abuse.
The strange thing about the response to her resignation is the blantant sexism. are all women required to stay in the kitchen and endure endless abuse?
The lady, aka Gov Palin, stands up and says that she will not take it. She should be a poster child for dealing appropriately with abuse. Instead she is a woman who did not stand and take the abuse and is scorned.
###
BTW, in my elderly medical practice, i have had 10 ladies divorce there husbands after 45 years of marriage. One after 65 years. It is never too late to throw the bum out.
As the Rev. Billy Graham said, we have never discussed divorce. Murder yes, but not divorce.
This "Buy American" stuff on her tweets has me concerned. If she is going to turn into a Pat Buchannan Republican - or worse a Ross Perot independent - and become a protectionist - all in an effort to win blue collar Democrats - then count me out! I'm a Reagan conservative who believes in free trade. We can create far more better paying jobs through free trafe than protectionism/isolationism.
These tweets are great for getting her message out - but they can be easily misunderstood. I bet Romney is going to get right on this tomorrow and start labelling her as a protectionist/isolationist and the media will probably chime in too. She better clarify her position fully and quickly - or she could have a major problem on her hands. She has to be careful with these tweets.
Greg,
The only club I'm a member of is Sam's Club.:)
And with that admission, there is no hope that I will ever have a friendship with Peggy Noonan. Which is probably a good thing, because I'm not really into those fake, both cheek air kisses the elites give each other. Knowing me, I'd probably do it wrong by doing it backwards, and we'd knock heads.
I think Jessica has a case for libel agains the NYT. I would look for a lawyer willing to do it pro bono or on the cheap. There doesn't seem much legwork to do here. The implication by the NYT was obvious enough that the MSM ran with it, and Inside Edition wanted to do an interview with Jessica. I think a strong argument can be made that an implication can be just as damaging as a directly-stated libel.
One of my sons is a second-year law student. I'll ask him at dinner later today whether a strong implication of a libel can be considered libelous. I haven't read the NYT article, but from what I understand, the association between Jessica and the false implication occurred within a sentence or two of each other.
This lie has Rahm Emanual's fork prints all over it.
"I bet Romney is going to get right on this tomorrow and start labelling her as a protectionist/isolationist and the media will probably chime in too. She better clarify her position fully and quickly - or she could have a major problem on her hands."
Rusty, I'll take the opposite bet, hahaha. None of that is going to happen tomorrow.
I cannot say I know what she meant but we'll just have to hear more about her ideas for the country moving forward.
New Industrial revolution? Sounds interesting.
OK, so I'm seeing that Ron Paul called Gov. Sarah a country club Republican?
I guess that may be true in the alternative universe where spending money will prevent bankruptcy as VP Joe Biden said the other day.
Me to Peggy Noonan: Is it right cheek, then left cheek. Or left cheek, then right cheek? Shouldn't it just be right cheeks, ya know, because I lean right, so don't even give the left the satisfaction. Do we have to actually touch, or can we just get our cheeks parallel to each other and kiss the air? I never liked the kiss hello anyway, when did it begin? It seems maybe like it's a germ spreader. Do we have to say "dawwwrling" when we greet each other. Like "Oh, daaaawwwwwwrrrrllliiinnnngggg, did you just get your hair done? It looks maaaaawwwwvvvvvveeeellloouuusss." because that makes me uncomfortable. And let's get this out of the way right now, this is as much touching as we will ever do, so, ya know.
Peggy to me: Daaawwwwrrrrlliiiinnnggg, you know what, I just Googled the name Sam's Club, and found out what it is, and realized that you are not worthy of my friendship.

See what you started, Tommy? Try keeping your unfounded anxieties to yourself in the future. That shit has a tendency to spread like wild fire around here. (ex. techno)
Don't be an Eeyore.
One thing is obvious: there is a direct cause-and-effect relationship between that NYT article and the pain, anguish, and emotional trauma that Jessica is now feeling, above and beyond the damage to her business reputation. Also, I think it can be accepted as a given that journalists be expected to understand the harm that an implication can wreck on a person's reputation. Personally, I think Jessica should hook up with a devious, publicity-seeking attorney, and milk the NYT for all which it can be had.
Romney is in hiding until recess.
Nancy, haha! You are too funny! I think that we should take Peggy to Sam's Club and Wal-mart, perhaps a little McDonalds and garage saling to make a day of it, too!
This whole discussion of Gov. Sarah being a country club Republican is so laughable. Remember the interview that Glenn Beck did with the Gov. the first day he was on Fox? One of the questions he asked her was when was the last time she went to a Wendy's and ordered a frosty yourself. Gov. Sarah actually had very recently been to a Dairy Queen (I think), and then she went on to speak about how out-of-touch so many politicians are. She's a normal person who happens to be in politics. She is not a politician (which is great). She is most definitely not a country club Republican!
5 journalists , 0 facts.
TommyReport:
I have to disagree with you. One of the first rules of politics is to define your opponent before he/she has a chance to define themselves. The Democrats did that very successfully against Sarah in the campaign - defining her as an extreme right winger - before the McCain campaign could fully introduce and define Sarah to the American public. Sarah is of course still trying to undo that damage.
Right now, within the Republican Party Sarah is still a "blank slate". No one knows what HER economic, domestic, trade and foreign policies are. She still has to develop these and present them to the Party. In this vacumm her political opponents will seize on the slightest thing to try to quickly define her as being out of the mainstream. This is Politics 101. Tweets can be just as damaging as inadvertant verbal slips - just ask George Allen what a minor verbal slip can do.
If she had already announced her trade policies as being in favor of free trade these tweets could be explained away - as you have already mentioned. But there is no policy background available to assess thse tweets against. Therefore, her political opponents will take them as an opportunity to define her unfavorably.
Romney is a smart politician - and this is exactly what he will do. She needs to be careful.
New Industrial revolution
means all the above
I sorry but doesn't Alaska do a lot of trading outside the country?
Voluntary Eeyore said...
"Buy America" becomes a problem when it is a governmental policy.
===
Dude, she won't take stimulus money because it limits what type of light bulbs you can use. This isn't something you have to worry about.
Rusty,
Bro you know I respect your opinion but don't read too much into this type of stuff.
Her attitude, if not an actual policy statement, is defined through her work with TransCanada.
Vague tweets are sometimes a good thing to gauge the reaction. As I've said before, asking Americans to voluntarily buy American is probably the right to do. "Buy American" is only wrong when the government makes it a policy.
Yeah, it's not perfectly clear from her tweet but I'd say the chances of anyone picking on it and using it as an attack is .01%.
Ron Paul called Gov. Sarah a country club Republican?
Does that mean that Gov. Palin can now join the likes of Peggy Noonan for a cup of tea?
Nancy, lol, I think you came up with the perfect word to discribe those with Palin Derangement Syndrome....."WHACKADOODLE"
Either that, or it's just plain old fashioned "Palin Envy"
Rusty,
You see how Toki is on my case now? hahahahah.
Toki, I submit man.
Rusty,
Just politically speaking, isn't "protectionism" the true mainstream position according to the polling in the big Midwestern swing states?
Doesn't make it right of course.
How can she be a protectionist? As I recall she championed TransCanada as building the pipeline, this deal caused her to have a falling out with former gov hickel, if she was a protectionist she wouldn't have gone near anything to do with Canada. Obama is the real protectionist justg ask PM Steven Harper
CH,
Nobody said she was.

TommyReport:
Absolutely, protectionism wins you big votes in the rust belt if you are a Democrat. Obama played it up big time saying he was going to renegotiate NAFTA during the primaries. Now that he is elected he is walking all of that back.
However, I'm not sure protectionism wins you much in Republican Primaries - in fact I think it costs you with the base.
If you look at the full tweet regarding 'Buy American', she mentions competition and domestic production.
Trying to reconcile international free trade and domestic production is a thorny issue.
However, her concern about 'encouraging competition' should not go unnoticed.
Free markets assume that there is a level playing field...but one could argue that major US financial firms (i.e., Goldman Sachs--a big supporter of the Democratic party, I might add) are controlling a signficiant market share of the economcy thus stifling competitors.
Focusing on encouraging domestic production/buying America in my opinion, justifies exposing the lack of competition in the market place and a failure of the Federal Reserve, the Comptroller of the Currency, the Office of Thrift Supervision and Securities and Exchange Commission to enforce financial regulations.
Her reformist approach should not be confused with her goals of ensuring fair international trade.
Western,
I agree with much of your post.
The only issue that Rusty and I have seems to be with the term buy American because it is such a loaded term.
It could mean many things to different people. But good point on the other elements of her tweet.
Is that going to be what she sells the country on the next couple of years? The new Industrial Revolution based on domestic energy production? It could work...
I am behind.
Let me catch up:
#of country clubs- 0...but my boys Cub Scout District has had its Summer Day Camp at a Country Club tha last two years...does that count?
Buy American:
I think the guv meant nothing by it. I agree about the foreign cars. I have always bought American cars and so had my dad while I was growing up. Last year we bought a Nissan Altima. I felt that I was buying American because it was built in Jackson, Mississippi. In fact my husband's first cousin (my husband is, gulp, from Mississippi, NOT a Native Texan) works there. The company is owned by a foreign group but the car and all the components etc was done right here in the USA, I see that as supporting the economy since there are 100's of people who work there making cars. I felt no shame buying a Nissan verses a Ford. I got the best fuel mileage in the class which is what I was looking for.
Sarah's hair: Just DUMB. Anyone can look at a picture and tell she has hair all over the place. Gee, how does she tame all that anyway. Thinning..LOL. The average American will hear that or see a pic of her and think...WHAT???
The button Nancy spoke of:
Sarah is a Mom. She has dealt with stress to the highest degree, she has 5, count 'em 5 kids. I dare Obama to spend just one day with Palin's kids by his self without his cigs. Oh, yeah, Palin has had MAJOR stress dealing with those kids.
Examples:
Mom, I have this report due this morning and if I don't turn it in I will fail for the year.
Mom, how fast CAN tadpoles spin in a washer before they come apart, these seem to be doing great...come look.
Mom, is that red and yellow kill a fella or red and mellow kill a fellow? I'm looking at the colors right here on this snake and was wondering....
Mom, did I tell you Grandma called about...ding dong...oh, she's here.
Mom, did you know what happenes when you try to flush a sock down the toilet?
Mom, look, how cool, its raining INSIDE the house...how many days was Dad going to be gone?
Like I said...I double dog dare Obama to baby sit the Palin kids.
This post isn't exactly going to have a long-term impact on the NYT; the NYT isn't going to change how they do things because of posts like this. I posted on this in a way that might have a long-term impact here. That link is only of interest to those who run websites and who want to do things in a more effective way. I didn't add any information that this post doesn't have, I just structured it in a more effective fashion.
If Ron Paul actually called Sarah a country club republican, then he is insane, regardless of any of his good ideas.
The left inspects Governor Palin like she is a racehorse to be bought.
Heels-too high, wrong color, too sexy
Skirt-too short, shows knees
Jacket-can't have logo on it
Body-too lean, no cankles, too artificially tan?
Hair-too thin, too long, highlights or no highlights
Teeth-too artificially white?
Emotionally-too stressed, too stubborn
Brains-none, not curious
It. Is. Not. Right.
Great article at the examiner about the opinions of people born in generation y, about how they are in favor of statism vs individualism
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/columns/Millenials-are-the-coming-statist-generation_-7965773-50645727.html
the question we should ask is how can we overcome this?
This is transference, pure and simple. Remember how HA had a few stories about Obama's hair was turning white and he used a dye and stuff like that. They are now projecting that onto Sarah.
That tweet does not insinuate protectionism at all, in my opinion. After buy American, she says produce domestically, which clearly is referring to energy, one of her main issues.
I believe she is on record as saying that she supports NAFTA. Besides, the Governor of a border state could never be a protectionist. Also, she supported Steve Forbes for Pres. A protectionist would never support Steve Forbes.
I, for one, um, well, I 'm not throwing any stones about anyone using coloring because of gray hair....there I SAID it....YES I COLOR MY HAIR...
Glad I got that off my chest.
I feel so free!
Is Ron Paul trying to curry favor with Romney and trying to throw his 15% supporters behind Mitt for a cabinet post? Looks like it. It makes SP more attractive as a candidate to have Ron Paul say negative things about her. He's clearly jealous.
Gov. Palin:
So, at risk of disappointing the chattering class, let me make clear what is foremost on my mind and where my focus will be:
I am deeply concerned about President Obama's cap-and-trade energy plan, and I believe it is an enormous threat to our economy. It would undermine our recovery over the short term and would inflict permanent damage.
American prosperity has always been driven by the steady supply of abundant, affordable energy.
Particularly in Alaska, we understand the inherent link between energy and prosperity, energy and opportunity, and energy and security.
...............
New Industrial revolution means oil, gas, nuclear plants, clean coal, solar, wind, geothermal, and all the above that I missed here in the US.
As my hero Groucho Marx once said, “I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.”
My hair is also au naturel. I look distinguished as all get out. But mostly I'm too cheap and lazy to color it.
The NYT lied? I'm shocked....shocked I tell you!
anyone else having some serious anxiety having to wait 6 freaking more days before sarah can speak her mind?
She needs to give a solid interview after the 26th.(smackdown the quiter nonsense)
much of this time before the midterms is for sarah to tell her story, get rich, and give speechs.
she wll take on
Cap and tax, and taxpayer funded abortions.
she may not have a health care plan just yet, but she must come out against taxpayer funded abortions.
Ok, as I mentioned in the thread yesterday about the Newsweek article, I'm keeping a list of verb phrases misattributed to Gov. Sarah or used to sensationalize a story in hit pieces about Gov. Sarah:
Fuming
(hair) Had thinned
(hair) Needed emergency help
This is just in the past two days.
Good Lord, they'll make up lies about anything. Thank goodness for Twitter! :-)
This doesn't suprise me at all, MSM is desperate, as we all know - but especially when the best smear they can find is to say her hair is thinning?!?!
I get my hair done at the Beehive and the staff there is great. I can't imagine Jessica ever talking to one of those outlets. MSM needs to get a life and report the news on how Obama is ruining our country, not on Sarah's hair.
The New York Times Lied... Again...? What Else Is New
Roger Simon, founder of PajamasMedia.com and Pajamas Media TV has a 3 part video series titled
"Burning Down The New York Times in Three Acts ..."
It is a quick primer, presenting the "bigger picture" about the rise and possible fall of the NYT...
One example from Act 2 -
What are the similarities with Walter Duranty, NYT Moscow Bureau Chief for over 10 years in the 30's, Eason Jordan, CNN Executive Producer in the 90's and the sparse reporting about the holocaust (the Shoah) in the 40's?
PS. After 6 years of WWII, the front page of the NYT had 26 stories referencing the plight of the Jews, using the designation Jews only 6 times in 6 years.
Why is 26 stories about the holocaust significant?
There were more than 26,000 stories on the NYT front page during the same 6 years.
And this from NYT owners who were and still are a Jewish American family.
This is the PJTV.com video url...

Roger Simon's July 13th comments on PajamasMedia.com are titled
"Desperate New York Times exploits Palin controversy"
http://pajamasmedia.com/rogerlsimon/2009/07/13/desperate-new-york-times-exploits-palin-controversy/#comments
Roger references Sarah obliquely, but in a friendly way... but his comments are primarily about the NYT.
From the last paragraph...
"Actually, I’m beginning to think the Times is kind of funny in its desperation, as I hope will come out in my part 3 of “Burning Down the New York Times in Three Acts,” in which I put the NYT on the couch."
Thank you, Roger Simon... author of "Blacklisting Myself: Memoir of a Hollywood Apostate in an Age of Terror".
The ankle biters at the NYT and the rest of the drive by media just don't get "IT" about Sarah Palin, do they?
With NYT anything goes except the TRUTH.

Hey, does anybody else watch "Ice Road Trucker" on History Channel?
One of the drivers is Lisa. She's a sweetheart. I always worry about her. They showed an Arctic Fox. She reminds me of those can-do women like Sarah.
Be careful out there Lisa.
FOXNews.com has picked up the story
Is Sarah Palin on a farewell tour around Alaska or is trip the start of a possible presidential campaign for 2012?
Those of you confused on Sarah and competition, what she is for is releasing MORE domestically produced energy, plus she is for free trade. The two views feed off each other. By producing more energy domestically, we cut significantly down on the trade deficit, and raise GDP, and provide more jobs/hours for US workers.
Regarding the third update and the conjecture that the hair thing is a sexist attack. Yes, a case could be made that it is, but the counterbalance is not a man's hair. Thinning hair on men is not such a terrible deal. A more accurate cross-gender symmetry, imo, comparable to falsely accusing a youthful and energetic woman of losing her hair would be to falsely accuse a youthful and energetic man of losing his virulity. For a woman, a beautiful head of hair probably has the same self-satisfying effect that being well-endowed and potent does for a man.
jenstillinak,
Thanks so much for sharing that information. I enjoyed reading it. :^)
"Anyone else besides me think this is a sexist attack by the NYT?"
I think that quote gives the NYT far more credit for planning, forethought, and all that they are capable of.
I take to be just another random rant after using a random number to find a page in a dictionary. Or what ever it is that passes for "research" there.
I am frankly surprised at the suggestion that they still have somebody on payroll that can assemble words.
Are you sure (I'm not going to go look) that it didn't come from AP or Reuters?
It's not sexism. It's Obamism. They throw at Sarah whatever is said of Bammy.
I'm surprised the "underweight" thing has any legs at all. Trig's what, not even two years old? The 2-3 years around having a baby, especially for somebody who breastfeeds, are obviously not a time to judge somebody's weight, and that's the only time the MSM has known her. It's just unstable, especially if you have the stress of something like, oh, a presidential election to deal with. Remember when they got on Britney Spears' case for not losing enough weight after her second baby? The whole thing smacks misogyny to me.
On Obama showing gray...do we really care?
I used to know a man that used shoe polish on his hair, but since Obama doesn't know .... from Shinola, that option is not available to him.

Lisa is takin her rig out on the ocean ice northwest of Prudhoe Bay.
I'm crossin my fingers.

It would be cool if Sarah dropped by and spent part of the show driving with Lisa.
Our American Women kick over the rest of the world.
Berry's hair got pretty grey when the rev wright story broke.
I'll post again...This is our POTUS' head:

Now, see if you can locate a photo from 2 years ago...much different.
That is some stress induced "thinning" if I've ever seen it.
New Tweet:
"Rt Sounds more like the NYT is losing their hair over Sarah Palin:) Sarah is stress free and Trusting God love that Lady (via @imchairwoman)"
VERY simple explanation for the weight loss:
Scott Davis and Todd Palin won the Iron Dog in '07 but saw some of the younger kids getting pretty quick and they realized in '08 that they would have to work very hard to compete in '09.
Scott Davis is 50, Todd is 45 so if you're going to compete with the kids, you have to get in shape. Both of them began working out a lot, swimming and lifting - when I saw Todd this spring, he was clearly trimmer and more fit than he had been in recent years.
And if Todd is going to lose weight and get in shape, you can bet that Sarah decided she'd better shape up as well.
Yep, sapwolf, I watch Ice Road Truckers on the History Channel. In fact, it's on right now! I think a new episode is on at 9 EST.
Yep, if Sarah had become a trucker, she'd probably be a lot like Lisa.
Yep, if Sarah visits Deadhorse or even when she's in Fairbanks, maybe she can swing by the Carlisle Depot and visit the Truckers. :)
Yep, Sarah said in her State of the union that she lived with an iron dogger so she has to stay in shape!
Check out msnbc.com
I think Obama's hair gets grayer when they need him to be seen as serious and in control. And back to "normal" when they want him to seem like the cool, young and sexy president the media thinks he is.
COMPLETELY OFF TOPIC: If any of the Alaskans are hanging about, we're looking for can't miss stuff while in AK. Any suggestions? We arrive 24 and depart Aug 2. My brother and I - and we're both incapable of planning trips. We just pick a general destination and wing it. Somehow I don't think that's going to go as well as he thinks it is.
"Check out msnbc.com"
Not on a bet.
This was my comment on Eleanors article.
Oh Eleanor you are mistaking CBS for a real news organization. As just another tentacle of the progressive movement and they, just like you are becoming irrelevant.
Did anyone on the left actually believe that they were going to be able to perpetuate Obamas journey into socialism with everyone else on the planet watching and knowing exactly what he is doing.
I mean, you are writing your column on the internet. Dont you think anyone else does any research to find out how and why our country has gone from a republic to a soft tyranny over the years.
That wont stand. I would suggest to you and others that dont want to be looked at as traitors to your country later on to get back to being honest when you write.
Unless of course you really are so jealous of Sarah Palin that your willing to become just another useful idiot for some statist wannabe's
"looking for can't miss stuff while in AK."
They are going to0 need a clue--where in Alaska?
I don't live thee, but among the places I'd like to see again is the Elliot Highway, lots of stuff around Wrangell, the rain forests, the White Pass and Yukon, the eagles near Haines, the list is long.
Look the New York Times of course got the particulars wrong (no big surprise there) Yardley in
particular,)but I do recall the comments here around the time of her end of the session, press conference, how she wasn't her old "sparky self", When you practically have to keephitting a brick wall,with the legislature on the stimulus, on the Kim Elton replacement seat, on the WAR atty gen, nomination. to a lesser extent
on the Christen nomination, and you add to that, the thankless weasel she took into her home, of course she would be a little worn
down.
We're flexible about where/what. We just need to start and end in ANC. We do have wheels while we're there.
The last trip we started in Frankfurt, Germany and ended up hitting Belgium, The Netherlands, and France. Just whatever struck our fancy. Trip before that we were headed to Rocky Mtn NP and ended up at the Great Sand Dunes and completely missed RMNP.
I do see some thinning hair.

Hi ND-
"We're looking for can't miss stuff while in Alaska."
What do you and your brother like doing?...Alaska's a BIG place.
A, July 19, 2009 10:00 PM
I do see some thinning hair.
LOL!
A:
LOL. I was looking and then it clicked. HAHAHA
ND-
What part of the state are you going to be in? It's a big place :) Are you going to be in the Fairbanks area for the picnic?
Specify where in the state and I'll send you some suggestions!
ND -- If you're in Anchorage on a Saturday, there's a good market downtown. I also like Potter's Marsh just outside the city in the south -- there's a great boardwalk for checking out geese, ducks, salmon in the water...
I love the drive through Hatcher Pass in the Mat-Su area, and the drive south of Anchorage on Turnagain Arm is gorgeous, with lots to see. The town of Hope that way is very cute, and there's gold panning and stuff around there.
ND- you can go see the TransAlaska Pipeline near Fairbanks.
The Northern Alaska Tour company will set up day long flight north of the arctic circle to different small rural towns and back- it's based out of Fairbanks.
The Anchorage Market and Festival mentioned earlier is fun.
There is plenty of outdoor stuff to do in and around Denali- and this is a great time of year for it.
Also a ride on the Alaska Railroad is a good way to get from city to city.
Obama will explore every avenue possible in their attempt to feed the two narratives that:
1)Sarah is an unsophisticated bimbo and stupid
2)Sarah is erratic, can't stand the pressure, is a nervous wreck and would bail out once the first Presidential crisis hit-not Presidential timber
Honestly #1 is slowly beginning to run its course as Obama begins to look stupid and incompetent himself and Sarah begins to distinguish herself in interviews with Lauer and Blitzer.
But #2 I predict goes to the core of Obama's modified strategy of marginalizing Sarah.
It goes to everything about being POTUS-temperament, crisis management, poise, able to make decisions, and leadership skills
Sarah's time on the Lower 48 should be devoted to LEGITIMIZING her credentials while bearing in mind that Obama is working day and night in a tug of war to tear them down.
I will never underestimate the Obama war room but it is this one narrative IMHO has the potential to cause the most damage to Sarah.
Whether it does-as Chris Berman says: that's why they play the game!
Thanks, y'all. We're game for anything. We just need to start and end in Anchorage. It would be a bonus if we could base out of Anchorage as we have a free place to stay there. But if there's someplace we need to go, we are definitely ready to go.
I don't think we'll get to Fairbanks - part of me would love to crash the picnic and part of me feels like it'd be kind of disrespectful to Alaskans.
He has plans to go to Kenai with a friend of his. They work. pipeline and are going out from there one day for work stuff, which will leave me at loose ends. We're doing a day at Talkeetna (did I butcher that?). Our grandfather talked the brother into it.
He wants to fish (I HATE fishing but am a good sport so we'll fish).
I like to hike and love the water. My problem is that I am coming off a back injury that's kept me still for over a year and I am still taking it pretty slow. I got released to full activity mid-June (thank God!). I suppose I want most to see some of the things that still take YOUR breath away. I know all this sounds ridiculous....
You could ride the bus into Denali- likely to see bear and moose there without being too active.
I think there are lots of outsiders planning on going to the picnic.. you could take the railroad up and back into Fairbanks
Seward is a good day trip from Anchorage. It's a pretty quaint town and a beautiful drive to get there. My favorite there is the SeaLife Center
You could spend a day or two in and around Anchorage. I am a runner and like to be out on the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail which is beautiful...
Talkeetna is a fun little town to walk around in and also a good day trip from anchorage. Walk all the way through the town and go down into the Talkeetna River Park- beautiful glacial silt water. You can see Mt. McKinley from Talkeetna on a really clear day...
Wasilla is also a good day trip from Anchorage. I hear there's a Palin tour there.
"Seward is a good day trip from Anchorage. It's a pretty quaint town and a beautiful drive to get there. My favorite there is the SeaLife Center."
Seward also has some fine (as in really good eats, I don't remember any white tablecloths) restaurants.
I don't meant to dis Denali, but you will shoot a whole day on it (if you were going to be there for a week or two, it would be a definite must-do).
Stop Olympia Snowe's hair before it's too late!
ND, make sure you get a copy of "The Milepost" which is indespensible.
IF you have time, a side trip to McCarty/Kennicott is fascinating.
If you get to Seward, make sure you drive up the 8-10 mile road to Exit Glacier. In Seward, Ray's is a fine seafood restaurant if a little pricey during tourist season.
Homer is a lot of fun and a boat trip across Kachemak Bay to Halibut Cover (where Jewel grew up) is very interesting. Eat at Fat Olives.
@JohnDoe
yummm... Alaskan Italian. Making me hungry! Fat Olives is a great choice.
I am not fan of the NYT, but I can't imagine they would make up a story out of thin air. They usually take an aspect of a story and twist it around. If what Jessica is saying is true, that would mean they just made the whole thing up.
They do still have journalistic standards they have to adhere to, although the line is blurred all the time. But if you are being honest, the NYT has never made up a story. They have stretched a story, printed gossip as if it were news, left out context to a story, etc. But they don't print a quote from someone that is made up.
I imagine what happened was Jessica did speak to them, gave a sympathetic story not knowing it would be used against Palin, and is now regretting speaking with the Times. That seems more plausible.
The NYT did get the name of her store and her name correct ...how would they know she was Sarah Palin's hairdresser? Surely, there is more than one hairdresser at Beehives. I'm just saying...they got all the other facts correct, except the quote? Not so sure.
"I imagine what happened was Jessica did speak to them, gave a

You are asking me to believe the hairdresser lied and the state-run NYT did not.
No deal.
Rambling Rants:
Where have you been the last 6 months? The NYT is completely in the tank for Obama.
If Obama ordered the NYT to print a story that Sarah Palin was born on Mars they would print it or that she was seen around Michael Jackson's ranch on the day of his death they would print it.
Sarah needs to get herself a good lace wig. They're made with real human hair, so her scalp can get good breath.
Crap. Nevermind, I'm on the wrong blog.
"The NYT did get the name of her store and her name correct ...how would they know she was Sarah Palin's hairdresser? Surely, there is more than one hairdresser at Beehives. I'm just saying...they got all the other facts correct, except the quote? Not so sure."
Are you ....ing me?
How many operatives does Obamacorp have in Alaska?
I'm pretty sure they get a report on whether Piper brushed her teeth!
Rambling Rants-
In the early 1960's ,famed author C.S. Lewis ripped the NY Times because of LIES they told about him:
"To call The NY Times liars would be as undeserved a compliment as to say that a dog was bad at arithmetic."
And this was BEFORE they became the lying mouth-piece for the FAR-LEFT.
Your either grossly naive or a concern troll.
My wife knows Jessica.We'll take HER word over the NY Times,thank-you.
Rambling Rants said:
"If you're being honest,the NY Times has never made up a story."
Please tell me you're being sarcastic?
(You're probably right though...
I don't think The NY Times lies anymore than OBAMA....LOL!)

The Guardian. Scroll down.
It's the Guardian so I didn't expect anything particularly profound and insightful, and I wasn't dissapointed, is she the local Dowd type.
Ms. Steele set the record straight on Twitter; but did she actually say that Sarah had lost weight and looked anxious?
It must be so nice to have so much time on your hands that this is actually an issue for you people. Thank God there's nothing important going on right now.
Fine: Sarah Palin has great hair. Happy? Can we talk about real issues now?
If I were the President, I'd send a letter to the NY Times and it would say this:
"Dear Mr. Sulzberger:
While I am sure that it's hard to fact check every story that you write, I am forced to conclude that your reporting has reached a nadir for professionalism. There have been multiple documented examples of your paper's inability to report on truth. The most recent example has to do with your story regarding Governor Palin's hair. As you know, this is another falsehood printed under your masthead. It's hardly surprising that it took so long to uncover a reporter as factually dishonest as Jayson Blair. He didn't stand out from the others.
While you may protest my next course of action, I feel that it is necessary to teach you some responsibility about ethics in journalism. Until further notice, I am suspending access to the White House to any and all reporters of the NY Times. I have also made it clear to my staff that anyone cited as talking to any reporters of the times will be summarily fired. Your paper has fallen from a once respectable institution to a tabloid that isn't even fit to wrap fish in. Perhaps this period of 'exile' will make you appreciate the value of honesty and ethics in news reporting, even if you don't necessarily agree with the viewpoints of those you report on."
Respectfully,
The President of the United States
Lord Elrond

Ian,
The reason why this topic was covered here at C4p is because the New York Times, a mainstream media outlet, covered it. They started it, not us. Therefore, that is why it was covered here. The NYT is the one that NEEDS to talk about real issues.
"It must be so nice to have so much time on your hands that this is
actually an issue for you people. Thank God there's nothing important
going on right now."
The issue is not the Governor's hair.
The issue is the relentless bottom-sucking by the east coast elites, looking for some thing nasty to say.
But you knew that, didn't you "Ian"?
You would think that Walter Cronkite, the supreme trusted journalist - who set the 'honesty' bar high for more than two decades of reporting - might have left some positive impression on many of the outspoken political journalists of today - seems not to be the case.
On another note about hair loss after pregnancy. As a maternity care provider I can tell you that it is common for women to wonder about hair loss after a pregnancy. The hair growth during pregnancy is accelerated and has a natural lifespan. After that lifespan has expired, the hair falls out. Since this lifespan will expire after the birth, it is a normal process for their to appear to be an increase in hair loss after the pregnancy. Hair growth resumes to its previous growth rate and everything returns to normal. It has nothing to do with health or stress.
If Sarah did experience this, it most likely was normal and should not raise any eyebrows. Again, as in much of this personal information, none of our business.
Whew...you people are amazing. So blinded by your mindless adherence to a failed, corrupt ideology that you can't see how incredibly unqualified Palin is for anything more than friggin' dogcatcher and how full of crap the whole bitching and moaning about the media is. What a pathetic group of douchebags.
Why has Jessica Beehive removed the tweets suggesting that she DID NOT send "email" to Kim thanking her for the NYT article?
Seems like Jessica is indulging in a little bit of revisionism.
Don't worry though, screenshots of her claim have been taken.
