Says our Sarah to the Chicago Tribune: “I think Hillary Clinton was held to a different standard in her primary race,” Palin said. “Do you remember the conversations that took place about her, say superficial things that they don’t talk about with men, her wardrobe and her hairstyles, all of that? That’s a bit of that double standard.”

“It’s kind of painful to be criticized for something when all the facts are not out there and are not reported,” Palin said.

THE STORIES ON HER $150,000 WARDROBE ARE WRONG.

Those comfortable-shoe-wearing trogs who are all over Sarah Palin about her campaign wardrobe spending should get a life. Hillary spent a pile on clothes. It’s just that she’s not in shape, has very little fashion sense and picked things that were not attractive.

These leftists are just angry because Sarah looks good in her clothes. If she were some dowdy feminist, they’d stand down. How much you think Nancy Pelosi pays for her Congressional wardrobe? 

Let us answer our own question: A SHITPILE. She’s wearing as much designer apparel as Cindy McCain. And yet, why aren’t they screaming that she’s sending the wrong message?

We are incensed! Pelosi is up there in Washington spending our money on funding losers on Wall Street. And doing it wearing six-figure rags. It just so happens that they are sexless and she’s someone’s grandma. And Sarah. We’ll…..she’s hot.

AS IF.

In her recent sit-down with PEOPLE mag, our Sarah muses that she wants her preggers teen daughter to move forward with a wedding at age 18. She acknowledges that the teen sperminator has dropped out of school to work and praises his desire to support his new family.

We gotta say we think that’s WAY off base. These two kids need to be finishing school and going to college. They can have the baby but they must think about a future that isn’t so Alaska blue-collar. No offense, but really. They need educations. And getting married can wait til say, they’re 21. At 18, no one is in a good head space to make a decision on marriage. It seems kind of out of touch to suggest otherwise. We know she wants them to do the moral thing, but golly she seems to be glossing over the realities of what is going on.

Love you, Sarah. But we just can’t agree on this one.

Not even, in a side by side comparison…..does SNL’er Tina Fey match up with Sarah Palin.

Liked the opening. Especially when she told that big-headed creep Alec Baldwin that she liked Stephen best. Come to think of it, we do too.

And we still like Sarah a lot as well. Even after all the criticism, we think she’s bright and engaging and not stupid like the liberals want to paint her. We think she’s a total star and feminist hottie — which is why all the ugly women’s rights folks can’t stand her. Pretty and successful — they can’t stand it.

AS IF.

This whole political deal is keeping us away from what we do best: shop and gossip.

But HELLO……..GOP is starting to stand for Goofy Old Party. The McCain campaign is just dreadful. While our Sarah is making ‘em sweat and holding their feet to the fire, the top of the ticket seemingly is doing NADA. 

Didya notice how many of those ACORN groups are now in trouble for fraudulent voter registration? Do ya think they are out there registering Republicans? No, they are NOT. And so……why in the hell isn’t McCain on the warpath, calling Obama out for his connection to ACORN. 

He may be a retired military dude — and we respect his sacrifice — he needs to get some Marine-ass stones and GO OFF. Ya wanna be president? Ya gotta fight for hit, dude.

We are shocked at how terribly this one has been run. We really are. At this point Palin should be at the top of the ticket because at least she has some energy. What is McCain waiting for, cause he’s behind more every day and it ain’t all due to the economy.

We must hurry off to the mall now…..to take the edge off.

Go get em Sarah……..

Kick some Democratic ass!!!!!!! Make Biden look like a stodgy DC insider with a bad comb-over.

Or better yet, just don’t give your detractors — and that smirky Tina Fey — any more (unfair) ammunition.

Katie Couric this!!!!!!!!

We wanna be like Rachel Z

Ah, if we all had the moxie of Rachel Zoe. Sure, some of her self-absorbed whining gets to us, but she works in Hollywood. Considering who her clients are, and her industry, we could understand. Still, she has this bravado with her employees that says “get your crap together because I’m busy ruling the world.”

If only we could carry ourselves this way in the business world. Such confidence. We can see why she’s rich and sought-after because her vision is super-clear. We wanna be more like Rachel. (But we do think she could use a bit of facial filler, a little Restylane around the nasal folds. She’s thin, but getting droopy. And the docs can totally fix that.)

In other news, Kim Kardashian has been bounced from DWTS. No surprise. She wasn’t the worst dancer but we suspect viewers have Kim fatigue, in that “what is SHE famous for other than being pretty?” She is lovely, yes, but she can’t shake her booty much, given its size and scope.

We’d be lyin’ if we said we can’t wait for the Sarah Palin-Joe Biden debate. Our money is on the sister to do way better than folks (and haters) expect.

A headline on Fox News asks: Are all those free-market capitalists dead?

BITE ME. K?

The market will correct. Didya see what happened today? No panic, no massive sell-off. We are America, dammit. And if you aren’t feeling comfortable with that, here’s one for ya: At least we aren’t Pakistan. Or Venezuela. So shut up. This will resolve soon enough. Oh boy, we are going to buy Starbucks for a song!!!!!

We’d be lyin’ if we said we weren’t stoked for the Sarah Palin-Joe Biden debate. Eat him alive, missy. It’s your last stand.

DJ AM attended the memorial for Travis Barker’s personal assistant who died in the plane crash. Morbidly, he didn’t look as bad as we thought he might. A gruesome red burn poked out from his chest, but the face is still intact and candidly, that’s a good thing cause he’s a performer of sorts. Man, is he one lucky record-spinning cat.

Dear Princesses:

When this whole new financial bailout goes south, remember who voted for it. And vote THEM out of office.

This deal is totally a bad idea in the long run.

All we’re sayin.

That, and we feel superbad for Miss Heather Locklear. Perhaps the psychopharms she got at the rehab are a bad combo cause she wasn’t drunk.

We don’t like Tina Fey. We think she is one smug rhymes with witch. We’d like to see her debate Sarah Palin. Most of those Hollywood types are outed as stupid once they are called on the carpet to defend their views.

We think Lipstick Jungle is off to a fab start and can’t wait to see this week’s episode.

Scarlett Johannson marries at 23. That’ll last.

DJ AM and Travis Barker seemed to be getting along much better. AM has returned to LA and Travis should be out in a coupla weeks. That is great news. 

We love the elle.com/astrology horoscopes. You should check em out.

We bought galpal Jill a purple pumpkin for Halloween but she doesn’t know it yet. We got some dark chocolate M&Ms, too. We love Halloween and plan to wear our tiara (natch) and pass out candy. When little kids ask us ‘what are you?’ we say what we always say, even when it isn’t Halloween: A princess.

TGIF ramblings

What do we admire most about Veep nominee Sarah Palin? Her cheekbones. Have ya noticed? Those are fierce, particularly on a politico. She’s got a fabulous complexion and her make-up is thus far spectacular. We are totally psyched about having someone attractive in the White House (other than that thoroughbred Dana Perino, whose haircut and fashion make us tres, tres jealous.) She’s a Diva fave.

Maybe if Congress had some wine or other assorted adult beverages, this “compromise” on the economy might be easier. Good to see these lawmakers forced to do something for a change. Over the last year or two, they’ve pretty much hunkered down and done nothing. We should measure their pay against their progress. That’d light a fire under their privileged asses.

Are you putting your money in gold, under your mattress or offshore? We will continue to make investments in what we know works: haircolor, handbags and of course, footwear. The world may be coming undone, but at least we’ll be looking swell at the recession or whatever term they are now using for tough times.

We’re sad at where this nation is headed. We’re so upset we’re considering making a delicious recipe for brie-crab pasta. It’s kinda of a fancy way of doing mac and cheese and some seafood, a glorified cheesy “tuna” casserole. 

Perhaps we need some wine — and if Congress gets anything done, we’ll certainly be toasting them at our usual Friday happy hour.

We are headed off into the wild north to “hike.” Actually, we’ll just be leaf-peeping, but who is counting. It’ll be worlds away from all of this economic trauma. We’ll leave a message on our phone noting that we are away studying Al Gore’s global warming. We never once believed it was true, but we were always sure it was a scam to make old Big Head richer than ever.

AS IF.

Dancing and some gay stuff

We loved the second night of Dancing with the Stars. Brooke Burke looked amazing and we love the teenage lovefest that is Julianne Hough and the boy she’s dancing with (where did he come from; he looks like they plucked him from some high school or maybe the Disney lot?) We think Lance Bass is getting hosed by the judges, perhaps being held to a higher standard because he’s a boybander. But Toni Braxton is also a performer and she doesn’t seem to get the same scrutiny. Sometimes, this show lets you see who is NOT cool and also lets you find out who is cool but nobody knows it. Ya know. (Screw the syntax. We’re on a roll.)

So….Clay Aiken is gay. That boy has had a hard row to hoe these last few years, being asked all the time and so publicly about his sexuality. Like it was anyone’s business. That said, no shock. Anyone who thought he was straight is some no-date fatty or some middle-age nutcase cat hoarder, right? Those Claymates will forgive him. Really, they just think he’s talented with great energy. And he is. We’re glad that he did this on his own time and in his own way — which is the way it ought to be for everyone. And so we say Godspeed Clay — and your little munchkin is adorable. He seems like the kind of guy who has the heart to be a great dad.

While we are on the gay thang: NOT BELIEVING FOR ONE SECOND THAT LINDSAY LOHAN IS GAY. We do believe she’s pushing the exploratory envelope with Sam after a tough time in her life. But as for this being some sort of permanent thing: We think not. And we worry that poor Samantha is going to get her feelings hurt badly.

That said, we LOVE Samantha’s music and urge you to get to her myspace account to hear more for yourself. It’s fab. She needs more exposure for that rather than Linds.

In other more personal news: Should we get bangs? Long ones? Maybe some face-scrapers like Sarah Palin? Or are bangs kinda whitetrashy? Hard to say. We’re thinkin.

Mariah Carey’s boy-husband looks more like a bodyguard than a spouse, the way he tries to escort her around at events. What a show those two put on! He always looks like he’s waiting on her. We ponder the longevity of this odd (publicity stunt) union.

Cute – and SO diva – that Jennifer Lopez made costume and hair-do changes during her husband’s 40th birthday bash last weekend. What, so one outfit would not do for the entire party?

Shannen Doherty looks super good now that we are seeing more of her with the redux of 90210. No really. We’d like to be catty but we’re happily surprised.

That Miley Cyrus looks like she’s wearing a wig, in real life. We fear she’s on the Jamie Lynn Spears track. Her dad doesn’t look, ummmmm, too strict, shall we say. She seems oddly flip and arrogant for a teenager with some power. Not likeable at all.

That Trista Sutter from The Bachelor/Bachlorette kinda got uglier now that she’s off TV and living in the real world. We liked her, but she’s a lot more suburban frumpy these days. Sigh, sigh, sigh. Is marriage the black hole of pretty? We think probably so.

We think Michael Phelps is a terrific swimmer but not hot. Kinda dorky, but definitely a great athlete.

We think Robert Downey Jr. could use some Juvederm or facial filler. His face is deploding as he gets older. Have ya noticed? He is one of our favorites so we sent this side note with

We would like to try on the Cindy McCain clothes. She has quite the diva closet. World class.

We think this election is the MOST sexist ever. We can’t get over it. We really can’t.

We like Sarah Palin but think those suits of hers look a little too Talbots. She’s petite and all, but we’d like to see her move into dresses a bit. Her personality is so large, she doesn’t need a suit to be forceful, we think. Loving tho, that she loves high heels. She’s rocking them HUGE on the campaign trail.

We wish we could be a fly on the wall at Hillary’s house. We bet she is PISSED that Palin and McCain stole her thunder. Not picking her will totally turn out to be Obama’s biggest regret.

Dancing with the Stars starts next week. We’ll be there. Watch along with us so we can make fun of people.

They drive me crazy, these so-called feminists who are eating Sarah Palin alive.

True enough, girl stepped into the fire of her own volition, but damn if the sisterhood isn’t dining on her public largesse.

Here’s how it goes: these chicks are fine with a woman as candidate, as long as she meets their criteria. She can’t be too attractive, she has to be a part of some established political network (East Coast, Ivy-education, wife of politician or lobbyist or high-profile lawyer, aide to some politico, etc). Most important, you can’t REALLY be a feminist unless you’re a Democrat, right? That’s the bottom line here. Unless you fit into one of their categories then they scotch any inroads you’ve made for your estrogen kindred.

Pam Anderson tells Sarah Palin to “suck it.”

We’d give a million bucks to see Sarah Palin tell Pam Anderson that she’s already SUCKED a bunch of IT and look where it’s gotten her. She looks like a badly aging, plastic-modified tramp — with bad taste in men. Pretty soon, she’ll have to trade on her brains, not on her boobs. By the time that happens, Sarah Palin will still be out there getting real things done.

AS IF………….

True Blood, that new vampire show on HBO. Redneck blood-suckers. Who knew? Not loving the very disjointed Entourage, but Ari still rocks.

We give props to J-Lo for doing a triathalon. That is some shit for little bigbutt. Respect.

What’s up with Eva Longoria Parker getting tagged as fat because she’s got a little belly. Have ya seen her in person? She’s size MINUS 0. Now she looks about three sizes below normal – and hardly fat. That is some Hollywood insanity dubbing her fat.

We can hardly wait for the season premiere of Lipstick Jungle later this month. Our total fave show, now that Sex in the City is gone.

Was it just us, cause we didn’t find Tropic Thunder very funny. We wish we did, but no.

There’s a new Britney album coming. You’ve been warned. (No, seriously we like her and hope for the best. We were just playin.)

Is it just us or is the Obama camp looking desperate and making bad decisions? Ever since Palin, they’ve been acting scared, not forceful. And that Biden. ZZZZZZZ. The biggest mistake Obama will have made is not picking Hillary. Just watch. Huge error.

On SNL, Tina Fey nailed Sarah Palin, no?

Cindy Crawford has much darker hair. You’d think it’d be aging but not so much. Snaps.

Best wishes to Lt. Sulu who got married this weekend after 21 years with his boyfriend. We interviewed him once and he was super nice. We remember the nice ones more than the bad ones. George Takei is sweet.

More later……………

The great political sage Lindsay Lohan has posted a nastygram against VP hopeful Sarah Palin on her blog. It’s genius, really, in its stupidity. Our thoughts? Go to college honey, cause dumb bitch is an ugly way to roll.

“I really cannot bite my tongue anymore when it comes to Sarah Palin. I couldn’t be more supportive of a woman in office, but let’s face it, it comes down to the person, and their beliefs, male or female,” Lohan said.

“I would have liked to have remained impartial, however I am afraid that the ‘lipstick on a pig’ comments will overshadow the issues and the fact that I believe Barack Obama is the best choice, in this election, for president.”

“It’s necessary for me to clarify that I am not against Sarah Palin as a mother or woman.”

“I find it quite interesting that a woman who now is running to be second in command of the United States, only 4 years ago had aspirations to be a television anchor, which is probably all she is qualified to be.

“Oh, and… Hint Hint Pali Pal – Don’t pose for anymore tabloid covers, you’re not a celebrity, you’re running for office to represent our, your, my COUNTRY!”

“Is it a sin to be gay? Should it be a sin to be straight? Or to use birth control? Or to have sex before marriage? Or even to have a child out of wedlock? Is our country so divided that the Republicans best hope is a narrow minded, media obsessed homophobe?”

“Vote for obama!” Ronson wrote. “Mainly because if she gets elected my green card probably won’t get renewed!!!”
