Palin slams Michelle Obama over breastfeeding

[RandySF]

Sarah Palin followed in Rep. Michele Bachmann’s footsteps and took a swipe at Michelle Obama on Thursday, mocking her efforts to get mothers to breast-feed their children.

“No wonder Michelle Obama is telling everybody, ‘You’d better breast-feed your baby,” she said at a Long Island appearance on Thursday, after slamming President Barack Obama for rising gas prices and other items — like milk — since he took office. “Yeah, you’d better, because the price of milk is so high right now.”

The comments come two days after Bachmann accused the first lady of trying to implement a “nanny state.”

1. My god!

When did breastfeeding become taboo and wrong??

[Mariana]

11. It's not breastfeeding that Palin thinks is taboo and wrong.

It's Michelle Obama. It's just eating Palin up that the Obamas are in the White House, and she isn't.

2. Those are two hateful women. I'd love to seem them compete with each other. nt

[forty6]

19. These are two STUPID HUMAN BEINGS!!! The ONLY reason we bother to ...

listen to what they say is because they LOOK LIKE the ideal woman to some penis driven men!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Two stupid human beings, getting attention because they got the attention of heterosexual fantasizing men?

Let's find some OTHER women who are more deserving of respect from women and men around the world, Princess Di, probably my FIRST choice.....Michelle Obama, obviously equally worthy...grace, confidence, intellect, message.......wish any Republican since Mime Eisenhower were as graceful or as thoughtful..........since then, no, Pat Nixon, Barb Bush, Laura, not so much.

[gateley]

21. Yes. Two hateful human beings. nt

[City Lights]

3. Pathetic.

She is an embarrassment to breathing women the world over.

[elias49]

7. It isn't just women she embarrasses. nt

[Contrary1]

4. So incredibly stupid...

I'm surprised she remembers to breathe.

Milk and gas pricers were both higher when Bush the Lesser was in the White House.

[11 Bravo]

5. Coulter and Bachmann both said something stupid at CPAC. Lady Bla Bla ...

couldn't stand not being the center of attention.

[tanyev]

6. It's only a matter of time before she uses the "I'm rubber, you're glue" salvo.

[XemaSab]

8. Which leads to a new folksy saying:

Colder than Sarah Palin's tit on the shady side of an iceberg.

[Zoeisright]

9. WTF is wrong with those two dipshits?

Every time Palin or Bachmann open their big fat mouths, I want to stuff a sock in them.

[BlueDog22]

10. What a moron

Wow, just wow.....

[hamsterjill]

12. I really don't know what is sadder

The fact that Palin and Bachman say/think this, OR the fact that half of the idiot Republican women that I know agree with them.

[rucky]

13. She fed milk to her infants?

That explains a lot.

[somone]

26. You betcha!

14. Conservatives love telling us how to live our lives...

They just can't stand seeing anyone else doing it...

[Blue_Tires]

15. "Palin steals a few cheap headlines by mentioning First Lady"

We've got to start filtering this stuff a little betterB-)

[July]

18. Exactly!

She mentions both Obamas frequently, sometimes suggesting that they talk to her about whatever her topic du jour is.

It's a ploy to put herself on their level in people's minds (and to do it without any heavy lifting).

[EFerrari]

16. Palin should avoid all sentences with "Michelle Obama" in them.

She suffers irreparably by comparison.

[CakeGrrl]

17. Poor stupid fool. She can't STAND that the First Lady ignores her existence.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving...'person'.

[Vinca]

20. It's a shame Palin doesn't understand the phrase "shut up."

[RainDog]

22. oh shut the fuck up, you idiotic attention...sore

your 15 minutes are up.

[Bluebear]

23. Since when do mothers feed their newborns milk from the store?

I thought it was either breast milk or formula. What does the price of milk from the grocery store have to do with breast feeding your child? (thanks john Aravosis!)

[L. Coyote]

24. They still thinks Playboy might call any day now

:rofl: gotta maintain the girls in case they call :rofl:

[Fleshdancer]

25. The truth is that M. Obama is smarter and more nurturing than Palin's pinky finger

I know these assholes want to politicize this woman, but they really should be careful for what they wish for. If she wanted to, Michelle could verbally knock the stupid right out of them.

Connecting breast feeding with the price of grocery store milk? Seriously?
