I know that a blog tends to be one sided, but it is kind of sad how focused you are on finding every negative item about Sarah Palin. I don't remember reading much of anything when Joe Biden was picked, and I think that your attitude–whether you lean left or right–reflects negatively on MollyGood as a whole. I read this blog to be entertained, not confronted with constant negative political propaganda. Has the entertainment industry gone on hiatus? Is there nothing else to post?

Well I (as a non-American) find it quite amusing to read about SP.

But I have to admit if there would be imminent danger of this woman getting to be (vice-)president of my country (and we also have quite some schmucks but … please… hypocrite much?) I can imagine that I would get pretty pissed about everyother detail that surfaces about her….

3 cheers Lindsay!

See I read this post as sarcasm - why the hell are people talking about it!? And honestly, Biden's pick wasn't followed by gossip and "scandal," so I can see the focus on Palin.

I really wonder if any of those critiquing her hair in the article actually vote. On issues. Because this whole thing is pretty sexist and ridiculous. "Get real" (from the article)? Please, I have not heard anyone talk about Barak's hair, or Romney's hair. And if they do, it is a passing joke, certainly not an article about it.

Sidenote: I like the line that this blog attemps to straddle - between social conciousness and flippancy. Sometimes it is too much Hills, sometimes too much (debatable) about politics - but at least it tries. With the glut of "just" gossip sites out there, you shouldn't be lacking in entertainment. And although I hate Barenaked Ladies, they were wise when they sang, "you're only bored if you're boring."

Ooooooh. I love how debated this site has become lately! Where's Elly Mae when I need her? Winks!

If you don't like the political slant, go to one of a multitude of other gossip sites, right? And since Palin has put herself on the cover of US and People, I think she warrants celebrity coverage. She must be a celebrity, since she clearly doesn't have any political experience to report on. Zing!

I think Lindsay may or may not have a large metal object shoved up her arse.

A metal dildo? Now that's just silly!

I'd rather see politics than see Britney's Vadge.

THANK YOU LINDSAY AND LISA! The hate and/or sexism on here is unbelievable sometimes.

I am all for political discourse and blatant disagreements (albeit, usually on more intellectually leaning and well-informed sites) but to take the arguments to the most basic, brainwashed, nasty level possible…it's depressing and immature.

Oh shut up. You are all becoming really annoying.

i'm with lisa. per the yoozh.

i think it's the political slant that keeps this site from turning into the superficial or IDLYITW or perez. with everyone talking about how fat somebody is (julia roberts in a bikini!? but she's a fat and middle aged!? how dare she show her skin!), or what a hot piece of ass somebody is (yeah, i'd totally hit that on saturday and twice on sunday) or with everyone jockeying for position (FIRST! FRIST!)

if you want all gossip all the time there are so many sites for that.

Good point Lisa Tinkle. I know of a Harvey Danger lyric (but if youre bored then youre boring) but not a BNL one…. damn I'm thinking about BLTs AGAIN!

the power of bacon compels you, sar.

ok lindsay, you really need to click through the link before accusing anyone of negative political propaganda.

the entire post is a quote from the boston herald.

so.

there's that.

there's also no attitude that could possibly reflect negatively on mollygood because…

cord just quoted a newspaper. with dripping sarcasm.

Sarah Palin does have really bad hair - it's like tragically stupid. And John McCain has really gross yellow teeth. I don't know if anyone remembers more than 2 weeks ago but politicians are not free from ridicule. Janet Reno got trashed for being manly looking, Hillary got mocked for her headbands, John Edwards got flack for having lovely hair, and Bill got shit for getting $200 hair cuts. I mean honestly, doesn't anyone REMEMBER THIS SHIT??

And what does Obama get trashed for???????????????

*golf clap for kittenpaw*

john edwards and the breck commercial? his 400 dollar haircuts.

very good point, kittenpaw. very good, point indeed.

wow, that is a misplaced comma.

i'm lazy. "submit"

With our boys and girls fighting a war in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the economic crises for middle class and poor, why in the world would anyone want to attack Sara Palin for her HAIR? From what i've learned about Sara Palin, she's like us; a middle class, working mom with a life long union member working hubby. She cares about the real people in this country, not just the celebrities and political machine…..be fair

STM, I totally agree with you. It's the snarky political commentary (and Cord's and Whitney's ability to make fun of the fact that we, as Americans, seem more concerned about SP's hair than her politics) that sets this site apart from the other gossip blogs. It's thoughtful and thought-provoking, and just plain good reading.

But seriously - this woman wants creationism taught in our schools. Not sure if she is familiar with a lovely little document called the Constitution, but that is a direct violation of the separation of church and state - an argument that can also be used against her pro-life stance and disdain for the prospect of gays being able to marry (gasp!). Her political beliefs are based in her faith in the Christian idea of God. I, too, am a Christian, but that doesn't give me the right to force my beliefs down the throats of those who are not. For a society that tries to be so politically correct and all-inclusive, we do a bang-up job of alienating anyone whose beliefs differ from the majority.

When you want to distract people from issues where an opposing candidate might be a bit weak, you focus on silly, unimportant things like this hair thing. Yes, it may be intended as a joke but it still has the same effect. It works.

I think Cord should stick to entertainment and get off his politcal soap box. I thought Mollygood was about celebrities. Oh that's right-I forgot about the rock star "Obama" and his legions of brain-dead proselytes.

I mildly disagree Helen. I think that in our effort to not alienate anyone, we have fallen towards losing the foundation that our country was built on. As a Christian, you should want to be able to uphold the values the Constitution was written on. It said we wouldn't persecute people for their religion, it never said we had to give the prominence of ours up.

Also, I don't think it's so much the political slant that this blog has choosen to take, as the vicious attacks on anyone that has a differing opinion. I've stopped reading as much, because it's annoying to read the left slant of the post, and then read comments of someone getting berated by the same people who come here because they appreciate the ability this site gives you to voice an opinion, be it on celebrity clothes or political agendas. The vast amount of "you have something shoved up your ass if you aline yourself with any of the Republican views" is getting old. Different values for different people, that's what it's all about. Just because my views may be different from yours, doesn't mean I have a cock ferret shoved up my ass.

*puts on fire suit* I'm not taking a political side here, just voicing observations of the last month or so. I've learned many a valuable fact on this site, and also learned to accept opposing views - but really, the childish mudslinging of people with differing opinions is stupid and petty. And annoying.

capeartist- in order for one to have a thought (past tense) about what Molly good was (past tense) is about - one should have read (past tense) the blog with frequency. This blog has (past tense), since Cord has been here (past tense) had a political lean.

Kittenpaw does have a point, but besides the Edwards $400 haircut, Dole being old (and McCain now too) and Bill getting fat, most male politicians escape the scrutiney. You can name many more female politicians (or wives thereof) who get way more flack.

Sar - they're not the same band? Winks!

Anyway, her hair is 20 years out of date just like her politics.

AdAd: I am going to mildly disagree with your interpretation there. The First Amendment goes beyond not persecuting based on religion - it prohibits the state from establishing a religion and restriction free exercise of religion. Now we are still struggling with what that means, but, in some cases, it does mean giving up promenence, where promenence rises to the level of state-sponsorship.

hey, capeartist: I'd rather be a Obama-proselyte
than a Palin-drone.

Lisa
Perhaps Cord then should (future tense) remove the "splaying celebrities from A list to D list" from the banner (present tense) and relabel it "splaying politicans unless they are Deomcrats" (future tense).

I used to enjoy Mollygood for it's entertainment factor, not the mean-spiritedness that it is now (present tense).

PS "what Mollygood was..is about" - really improper grammar.

if palin wants to look like she came out of a sears catalog from the 80's that's her business.

Who asked about Obama being criticized? Does anybody remember that photo of him riding his bike with a helmet (gasp!) and jeans that rode up (because he was… riding a bike)? So there's that…

Not such a strong case there AdAd…He can always get off the bike ;-) I agree with your #25 comment.
Not a fan of either side but I have been going to other blogs lately for my snarkiness. Michael K is always good for a laugh.

God, get over it.
1) She's anti-choice, even in the case of rape.

2) She wants to drill a pipeline through a Wildlife Reserve, rather than get away from our oil dependency.

3) She preaches abstinence-only education, when it's been proven time and time again(even within her own family) to NOT be effective.

4) She's involved in an ethics investigation in AK, which she wants shelved until after the election (remind you of the Bush administration at all?)

5) She says she supports special needs children and draws sympathy for her own son with Down's Syndrome, but as was already mentioned here, cut funding for special needs education by 62% in Alaska

6)She goes AERIAL WOLF HUNTING

7)She has been governor for as long as Obama has been campaigning for the Presidency. Talk about lack of experience!

There's so much more I could get into here *OF SUBSTANCE* and not about her hair, but I won't. If you're still on her side by this point, you're an idiot.

capeartist - that rejoinder doesn't address the point. The point was do not speak to how a blog should be based on past format, when the format has not changed. If you have issues with the site's political leanings (your most recent post, which is non sequiter), then by all means air those gripes. However,

PS. actually it was a typo, as I was trying to be clear. You see, improper grammer implies that one doesn't know the rules. A typo happens when knows the rules, but makes a mistake. Possibly though editing.

PPS. Attacking a grammar mistake is a base and uninteresting attack on form used when one cannot attack substance.

PPPS. if you are going to call Obama a rockstar (and thus a celebrity) you cannot then take issue with a headline that uses the word celebrity and discusses politics. Well you can, but it is sort of hypocritical.

Lisa–Republicans ARE quite often hypocrites. So it's par for the course.

my husband's family is pure republicans and they are good people. it bugs me when people paint all republicans as bad people but everyone is entitled to their opinion.

my grammar sucked but i don't care, you hags get the point.

Sorry, not all republicans are bad people. Just as not all democrats are good people of course. Seriously, sorry deimos I'm just angry. When I get angry, republicans are usually the target and the better ones get caught in the fray

you don't need to apologize, it's your opinion and even though i might not agree with it, it's still your right to voice it. that's what makes this country great, you can have thoughts that people don't agree with and voice them as you see fit.

deimos = my personal hero

the whole Obama-as-celebrity thing cracks me up.

EVERY pol, when running for national office, is a celebrity, in the sense that most people know who she/he is.

methinks the republicans are just jealous because the dems' "celebrity" is more popular than theirs is.

and truly, if you want to talk celebrity, Ms. Palin was on the cover of 4 (count 'em…4!) supermarket glossies this week. Us, OK!, People, and the Enquirer.

Can we at least agree that she had cute shoes on last night? Now THAT'S something we don't get enjoy with all the other (male) candidates.

http://faustasblog.com/?tag=sarah-palin-shoes

Can I just side vent here and let you know that someone that works for the f*cking U.S. post office stole the contents out of my box and taped the box back up and delivered it?! My mom sent me a gift and I opened the box up and it was empty. I am starting to relate to the people that go postal.

Re side vent: What the hell!? You need to bitch a lot and loudly. And if they give you crap about insurance, say that insurance isn't meant to protect against their employee's theivery. Bastards! Now you miss out on the present AND the surprise. Awful.

KPaw- I've sent people birthday/etc cards, only to find out the birthday cash/checks have been taken out, and the envelope taped back together…not sure if postal workers are the thieves but it sure as hell is annoying.

Meh. They are all right shoes. I guess her stylists could have done worse. I think it's the buckle AND the peep toe. Pick a feature, lady!

On an unrelated note, did you know they are making fruit rollups with Heath Ledger's face on them??? It took me 20 seconds to talk myself into eating the damn thing after I unrolled it!!

Lindsey, go fuck An American and shut the fuck up. It's obvious to anyone with half a brain that Sarah Palin is a retard.

actually, BeAdequite, McCain wears $500 Ferragamo Loafers. (Don't know if they qualify as "cute", tho…)

And Obama walks around with holes in the bottom of his shoes.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/.....19760.html

good lord, obama's feet are ginormous! or maybe that's the camera angle.

I wonder if Cindy picks out John McCain's shoes, and they're based on her outfits, all matchy matchy.

My mom didn't insure the box because she didn't think the contents were worth that much - but she what she sent me was super sentimental. She is really really sad right now which is making me feel horrible. I would have been upset if the box had been completely destroyed in transit or something but this is outright theft. And to top it off, the people that work at the Chicago post offices are complete and utter assholes to talk to. But thanks for responding to my venting everyone :)

i'm sorry kitten :( :( it's even sadder because your name makes you sound so helpless and cute.

i recently had to negotiate my way out of a late tax penalty because my post office mailed my freaking envelope TO ME at the RETURN ADDRESS. post office schmost office!

I must admit if I had the dough to wear Ferragamos, I probably would…Obama needs to get those shoes resoled!!!

I know a couple people who played b-ball with Obama when he was in town, and they all said he was a very nice guy, that he was a sweaty basketball player.

Sar- I don't believe you on the fruit rollup statement. Proof please! That is just TOO horrible. :-)

Much like her politics, this article just set women back about 200 years.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Sarah Palin is a bitch cunt.

http://i135.photobucket.com/al.....ek/FR3.jpg

http://i135.photobucket.com/al.....ek/FR2.jpg

I hope you can't see my other photos from going there! But que sera sera. The only reason I noticed the Joker in the first place was the fact that I kept staring down this guy wondering if it was supposed to be Larry King!

http://i135.photobucket.com/al.....ek/FR1.jpg

If I had the money to wear Ferragamos, I prob would too, as long as they were cute.

however, I just thought it was ironic that the GOP referred to Obama as "elitist" with this picture in the midst.

WTF is that last one, it does look like Larry King!!! Harvey Dent maybe?

Damn, some of you have serious anger issues and the name calling is over the top (retard, bitch cunt). It's really sad to see women attack other women in such superficial ways. I guess we havnen't come very far at all.

Your candidate is consistently ahead in the polls. Be happy.

haven't works too

AdmittedlyAddicted - thank you for only mildly disagreeing! I understand what you mean about people who make comments about more conservative posters having objects shoved up their asses when they make comments in support of Republican candidates. That keeps people from having an open and honest discussion about their beliefs, and everyone loses when that happens.

Lisa#1's (comment 28) interpretation of the 1st ammendment, however, seems to be more in keeping with my understanding of the intent. And yes, I do want to uphold my Christian values, and yes the founding fathers were almost exclusively Christian, but that doesn't give the government the right to endorse one religion over all others. The founding fathers had the presence of mind to include the comments on religion in the very first ammendment, because they understood how dangerous the intermingling of religion and politics could be. After all, many of the first people who came to America did so to escape religious persecution. Instead of having "In God We Trust" on our currency or teaching kids about Adam and Eve in school, I choose to uphold my Christian values by living according to them - and hopefully inspiring others by my example.

And AdAd, I hope that you will continue comment, in spite of those who rail against you. Because every time I hear an opinion that is contrary to mine, I am forced to re-evaluate my opinion. The result is that it will either re-affirm my initial stance, or it will challenge me to change it. And either is a good thing.

suck it– I stand by bitch cunt (the term, not Palin). This woman that I should be supporting is working to erode my rights as a woman and as a human being. If she doesn't have respect for that, I don't have respect for her.

Helen - I suppose I was more referring to the things we are REMOVING that have, before now, been ingrained into our society and culture. Examples: 10 Commandments in the courts, and Under God in the Allegiance. Forgive me for not better articulating my views.

I don't necessarily agree with teaching creationism in school, on the same token, I don't necessarily believe in teaching evolution either. I do think they need to learn something; and that if we're going to teach one, we should also teach the alternative theories, including creationism. This wouldn't be "forcing my religion down their throats," but more presenting all the options. If you want to give our children an education, give them an education - but make it well rounded and present it to them as it is; there is more than one belief about the way things happened. It would also benefit our children by showing early on that there is more than one way to look at something…which, IMHO, is something they all need a little more learning about.

Finally, I personally could care less about the railing. What's irritating is the unabounded hatred for all things Republican, which turns into vehement derogatory remarks towards a persons character. I'm all for standing up for what you believe in, but when you do it like a raving lunatic, I'm far less likely to consider things from your point of view - or think of you as anything short of the ignorant raving lunatic you're acting like. "You," of course, not referring to YOU.

Be A I have no idea, his head has already been et.

If you don't consider the point of view of a raving lunatic, how can you listen to republicans? I kid, I kid.

And creationism isn't the other side of an issue. It's Christianity saying God did it. That's taught at home, where it belongs. If you don't want kids to learn about evolution (read: scientific fact) you can, as a parent, opt to remove them from the class.

If you don't want your children to learn about sex education, I don't want my children 'learning' about creationism. And as you said well, "You," of course, not referring to YOU.

I don't know about the sex ed that some of you got, but mine didn't extend any further than "this is the fallopian tube."

You mean you didn't do the condom on a banana thing? Oh right, no one does that. It is all about diagrams and blah blah blah. I STILL don't know who has vas deferens.

Honestly, my parents made me read "where did I come from" which has cartoon drawings of two ugly naked middle aged people, and my mom put sticky notes all throughout the book to cover their "privates." then when i was like 12 i read AND watch a video by teh same people called Whats Happening To Me.

Flagrant, unapologetic cartoon explanations were my sex ed. Except I still couldn't imagine how something that felt 'kind of like a sneeze' was so damn popular.

everything I needed to know I got from "Are you there God? It's Me, Margaret."

Sex ed in my high school must have been pretty progressive because our health teacher let us play with condoms and spermicide. Wee! Oh, and she showed us birthing movies and lots of slides of veneral diseases - both scaring the sexual urges out of me for years. So I think sex ed can actually work in favor for abstinence only believers. gigglesnort.

You want to know what's ironic?? Heated political debates about things that matter, still don't garner as much response as a psycho perezer like Denise 15…I miss her hijinx by the way.

Has anyone brought up the following point?:

*clears throat*

Cord and Whitney can write whatever the cock they want to because…

IT'S THEIR FARKING BLOG.

Oh and whatever lisa said, says, or is thinking.

I have a confession to make. I was tooling around the grocery store stocking up on bottled water, bananas and cheezits (hurricane coming) and it hit me. I'm a total Douchey Doucherton because I called Ann Coulter a douchebag in another post and then here I am in this section talking about name calling being uncool. So ya'll can spank me with a limp penis. I deserve it.

I'm thinking it's beer-thirty!

Kittenpaw….did you happen to go to a single sex Catholic school? Cause that's EXACTLY how I learned about sex (at said institution) and it (the VD slides, I mean) made me keep my legs closed well into college

Suck it- I think it's ok to call Coulter a douchebag. I'm a registered Republican and I can't stand that woman. There are some people that I think are exceptions to the "be nice" rule, I think she is one of them.

what lisa said!

Be Adequite - I went to a public school in a small(sort of ) town in Ohio. I have no idea how that got passed the school board but those VD slides - holy CRAP! Gonorhea is freaking nasty!

Yeah nothing like rotting grapes dangling from your cooter…oh wait that was warts. BLEEEEECH!

sarah palin is a stupid whore bitch. i want to strangle her and beat the shit out of her ugly face. fucking goddamned cunt.

LOL at Stm's loyalty to the fabulous Lisa - and did you just get back from the dealership with that new capital S?

adad… i really miss not having that part of my childhood. Are You There God was banned at my school. Quelle surprise.

When I went to public school there was no sex ed whatsoever. When I went to Catholic school they made us watch videos of abortions. Then I went to lunch.

Cooter grapes! Brilliant.

What a day to miss the board!

I love how people are demanding fair and balanced reporting from an op-ed website. Cracks me up. And to those who are complaining about the political coverage lately, I think it's safe to say that a landmark election amidst the most American unrest since the Nixon era counts as a pop culture event, because it's what the culture is paying attention to - with good reason.

Considering this is by and large a gossip blog, I have found myself pleasantly surprised by how robust and thoughtful the thread debates about real issues usually are (except when we are threatening to kill 12 year olds). The overall content of the MG thread debates is pretty sound (to see an example of the converse, check any youtube thread ever). If you just want snarky fluff, there are plenty of blogs with cartoon cocks for you to check out. If you want snarky fluff with a connection to a deeper point about society then helloooo nurse, this is the place.

The hair article was lame, natch, but I think the miggest miss of the whole thing was how Palin could have probably hid her daughter's (second) pregnancy inside that medicine ball she calls a hairdo.

Oh, for the person who wanted to know what Obama gets trashed for, I think you will find your answer in #50 by the lovely Sar. Obama has HUGE, UNSIGHTLY FEET. THE HORROR. Happy now?

Oh, holy snazzy new S, Stm! When did that happen?

Next thing you know, Stm will be capitalizing the T and the M as well!

I was actually having a conversation with one of old roommates tonight, and we decided the we are about to enter another period of civil unrest, much like the 60s. It seems that, while this election has really polarized the nation, it has finally gotten Everyman off his ass and taking an active interest in our nation's political process. And while I sometimes feel like some people are too dumb to breed, much less vote, an informed voting public can only help matters, whichever side of the aisle you're on.

I just want McCain to toss his dress shoes from one hand to the other then put on his comfy oxfords. After that it's time to put on his cardigan. Read me a story Grandpa McCain!

Yaawwwwn. Did somebody mention midgets, grapes, and comfy cardigans? I'm in.

Cooter Grapes are the next big gummy candy. Everyone will be trading Lunchables for them. You heard it here.

Part of me wants to mention this quote I read today, about how politics is institutionalized hatred or something, and then like, part of me wants to bow to the perfect use of "robust" in killorn's comment… then the rest of me wants to pee in my own eyes because I'm disgusted with my ability to talk about my own opinions.

Helen… can I side on the groom's side? The bride's side is always so packed.

sar, you can sit wherever you'd like. As long as your choice is well-informed!

Helen, I think we entered civil unrest on November 7, 2000. A stolen election coupled with a war that doesn't make sense? We shook the 60's hands and then peaced out to a whole notha level.

Yeah, killorn, I definitely agree that was the primary inciting incident, but it doesn't really seem like there has been a lot of action until recently. Even during the last election, people weren't sitting up and taking an interest the way they are now.

I think it's kind of awesome, actually (the outcome, not the precipice). I volunteered to register people to vote for moveon.org over the holiday weekend and specifically picked a remote county fair so I could distance myself from the saturated liberal orgy of Seattle proper.

First of all, the number of people NOT registered to vote was staggering, as was the number of young people (18-22) that came up to ask questions and (mostly) thoughtfully debate the candidates.

People forgot 9/11 in the last term, but no one's forgetting the economy now. Necessity is the mother of invention.

Killorn can you hear me grumbling down the street? Cause I live in the liberal orgy of Seattle proper (and I'm the only one who ain't).

Now where did that midget go? They are so easy to lose- he's been feeding me grapes all night!

Look out for Jessica Simpson at county fairs… but then, if you try to get her to register to vote you could probably talk her into voting however you wanted her to. Actually there's a hole in her back you just put your hand in, then you mark the ballot.

be adequite, you do? We must live-blog a drinking escapade one of these nights.

Sar, PLENTY o J-Simps in attendance at the Evergreen State Fair. One of them called Obama "yukky". Which to me is worse than "uppity" any day.

killorn, it wasn't the puyallup fair by any chance, was it? and did I spell that right?

palin is an egotistical cunt
