Heh. At one point, I think they were chanting, “Obama! Obama!”
Kind of a chickenshit move to bring the kids out on the ice with her. She probably thought that would stop the crowd from booing. Ha! Does she know nothing of Philly fans?
Everything about that video is weird. She just keeps smiling and waving like it’s applause. My wife thinks she was keeping her chin up for the kids.
She had to provide good footage for Fox News - they’ll at least be able to show it without any audio.
That’s Philadelpha for you.
Note also the signs being held by some of the fans.
She admitted that she would try to use her kids to fend off boos:
Kind of a chickenshit move, in my opinion. Reminds me of Martin Sheen picking up the kid to use as a human shield at the end of The Dead Zone.
Technically, no. It found that she broke the law in trying to get her ex-brother-in-law fired, but that she was within her authority to remove PSC Monegan even if part of the reason was that he refused to fire said EBIL.
In her latest middle finger to Alaskans, The Annointed One gave a phone interview about what she calls “Tasergate”. The pre-conditions were that only the three Alaska network TV stations could interview, and they were limited to one question only.
In this interview she crows about how she has been vindicated, which once again proves she’s incapable of critical thinking, and has others do her reading for her (sounds like she’s continuing the proud Bush legacy). When asked about partisan attacks by her local staff, she denies having heard of any such thing, then goes on to say how calling somebody a “rogue” is not a bad thing.
Whatever the fuck THAT means.
Basically, that he’s some sort of “maverick”, but she can’t call him that since he’s the enemy. So he’s “rogue”, like them states like North Korea, Iran, and Massachusetts. Dontcha know there, chef guy?

She doesn’t know what the word means.
Good old Occam’s Razor.
I know what “rogue” means. I just can’t figure out what her bullshit duck-and-weave explanation is supposed to mean. Believe me, when the word was used by her local pimps, it wasn’t in a complimentary way.
Given her goals (ignore yours & mine for a moment) what part of appropriate critical thinking on her part would tell her that acknowledging wrongdoing would be a good idea? Totally ignoring reality and remaining on message no matter what seems to work. That’s what her critical thinking told her and I’m not so sure she’s wrong.
I dunno, when I fuck up at work, a little bit of, “Yes, I fucked up, it was a mistake, and I understand why it was a mistake. I apologize and it won’t happen again,” goes a long way.
Mind you, it wouldn’t change my vote; I disagree with her politics profoundly. It would, however, give me some respect for her, which I don’t currently have.
I continue to be perplexed by people who refuse to admit that they have ever made a mistake.
This is obviously a sovereign type o’ rogue. I’m sure Bush would cromulate her.
(seriously, I cannot parse her sentence. Rogues do not work on teams, neither do mavericks. Wouldn’t a rogue in the cabinet go against the cabinet’s mainstream thought? Perhaps she is attempting to say that diverse opinions are welcome? But what that has to do with Troopergate also eludes me. She makes my head ache.)
Personally, rogue doesn’t have a negative connotion for me any more than maverick does.
Yabut. . . what does the connotation of ‘rogue’-- be it negative or positive-- have to do with working together? Can a tiger not be a negative term when considering sleeping babies? Can a warlock not be considered negative when casting fear in The Deadmines?
What in the hell is that woman trying to say?
I think it’s more what she’s trying *not *to say.
Really? Rogue elephant? Rogue agent? The definition in my trusty home dictionary says: “1. A dishonest or worthless person: scoundrel: an individual exhibiting a chance and usually inferior biological variation.” Traditionally, and in literature, it has meant someone who is mischievous, but I’ve never heard it used in a positive manner.
On the other hand, “maverick” is defined as “an independent individual who refuses to conform with his group”, which doesn’t necessarily have a negative spin to it.
“Rogue elephant” is a category of its own. If it were “maverick elephant,” it would mean the same thing.
Let’s take a Dirty Harry-type movie where the police chief is talking about his most hot-headed police officer:
“That Callahan is a menace to society! He’s a maverick, not a team player, and he needs to be reined in!”
versus
“That Callahan is a menace to society! He’s a rogue, not a team player, and he needs to be reined in!”
Same same.
I have definitely heard rogue used in a positive manner. It’s like scamp.
There’s no negative connotation to rogue in Rogue Squadron, the Knight and Rogue novels, the Marvel Comics character Rogue, or the AMC Motors Rogue automobile.
