U.S. News’ absurd poll: Which female politician would run the best daycare center?
Media Matters’ County Fair points out a poll on U.S. News and World Report’s website asking readers who would run the best daycare center: First Lady Michelle Obama, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, or Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. (Apparently, in the fantasy world of political daycare centers, only women are equipped to run them.) The poll is illustrated with action-figure-like images of the four women:
As of 3:20 p.m., Sarah Palin had 47.5 percent of the vote; Michelle Obama followed with 46 percent.

Obviously it should be Sarah Palin’s nanny, who traveled every where with them during the campaign, but was never seen in public.
¶ AIO
February 21st, 2009 at 3:31 pmWell, if Sarah Palin ran the thing, at least the little girls would presumably be too young to get pregnant.
So she’s got that goin’ for her.
I worry about the possibility of her hiring Levi’s mom to help out, and coming in one day to find a batch o’ meth cookin’ up in the kitchenette.
February 21st, 2009 at 3:32 pmAre you sure this wasn’t a Glen Beck poll? And way way down on the list, if you could expand it a few thousand names, would be Palin.
February 21st, 2009 at 3:34 pmUSNWR is a fairly conservative pub.
Yet the only conservative listed gets less than half the vote.
That’s gotta say something.
February 21st, 2009 at 3:35 pmThe poll says more about US News and World Report’s audience than it does about the qualifications of any of these women.
February 21st, 2009 at 3:36 pmWho reads U.S. news?
Absurd is not the right word here, is it?
February 21st, 2009 at 3:39 pmI go with Hillary, then Michelle, then Sarah and last Nancy (Nancy, only if a catholic priest wasn’t available).
February 21st, 2009 at 3:40 pm#7
Palin over Pelosi? We’ve already seen their kids and can make a judgement on who’s the better parent.
February 21st, 2009 at 3:43 pmThe only one of these I would trust with children would be Michelle Obama. I appreciate H’s brain, but she’s awfully tense. Palin is a bigot and Pelosi is an angry fake.
The “poll,” however, creates a false dilemma sort of situation: why were these the ONLY women presented?
And how about a poll mentioning which MEN we might trust with a child? [Must say, I appreciated backups comment re: Catholic priests].

February 21st, 2009 at 3:57 pmgirls can’t run daycare centers. It is mans work
February 21st, 2009 at 3:58 pmAmericans love polls. And the dumber the better.
May I nominate Bush held the elementary school class enthralled with My Pet Goat bombed the WTC.
February 21st, 2009 at 4:06 pmIs this supposed to be some kind of litmus test for femininity and maternal instinct? A day care center is a business.
February 21st, 2009 at 4:10 pmThat’s right US News… keep women in their place.
how f-ing sexist is this?
Mood has now worsened since hearing Babe Buchannon on replay of Stephannie Miller earlier.
February 21st, 2009 at 4:15 pmOMG, what part did those taking that poll miss, that Palin paid so little attention to her teenage daughter, she was fornicating in the back seat of a car; her son was rumored to be connected with some criminal act thus had to join the service to get out of punishment, and she dragged a Special Needs baby around the country and up late at night for nothing more than photo ops? I personally would not leave my cat with her!
February 21st, 2009 at 4:17 pmWill they next run a poll (with action figures) on which male figures would best run a 7-11? Or is this really all about women keeping to their place and not pretending to deserve to run governments?
February 21st, 2009 at 4:19 pmI guess there wasn’t enough “news” for US News and World Report to “report”. How many trees were sacrificed to publish this stupid poll?
February 21st, 2009 at 4:28 pmHAVE IT YOUR WAY LIBERALS
the President has nominated Hillary R. Clinton for appointment as the commanding general, I Marine Expeditionary Force; and commander, U.S. Marine Corps Forces Central Command, and for appointment to the grade of lieutenant general. Clinton is presently serving as the United States Secretary of State.
February 21st, 2009 at 4:34 pmI gave you a recommend wiley. I loved that post. Indeed a daycare center is a business. There is a demand for managers in daycare and more menial laborers. The point of the laborer is to make cash now for the manager. Less is more, greed is good.
February 21st, 2009 at 4:38 pmI’d vote for John Boehner… he’s a pretty sensitive guy, I think he’d be good with the kiddies.
February 21st, 2009 at 4:43 pmLT dan I agree with you. We are a team. The real women in america vote conservative because they want the good life of givin’ some.
February 21st, 2009 at 4:47 pmWhat a stupid poll.

February 21st, 2009 at 4:51 pmLTdan would you agree with me that Mitt Romney is the way to go to in 2012 so that we can have a wall street riding high once again? I long for the big boom and bust cycles so that we can go home with the bucks. This is a game. And that makes america an exiting place to live.
February 21st, 2009 at 4:51 pmThank goodness they didn’t ask about the best pundit for the job.
I can picture Ann Coulter chiding the single mothers while Michelle Malkin ate their kids.
February 21st, 2009 at 4:52 pmNo we are going to team up and revive conservatism because that was a cool ride. I want to go for another one. The only way america can be amaerica is if you deregulate everything in sight.
I have a vision.
February 21st, 2009 at 4:53 pmI’d pick none of the above and select George W. Bush.
He relates to little children on so many levels.
Then again, if you want a British nanny-type…you want Billo.
February 21st, 2009 at 4:54 pmSomeone is kidding, right?
February 21st, 2009 at 4:54 pmwow, 47 percent of women must find the concept of Todd molesting their children and Palins mother in law dealing drugs at thier childrens school appealing. That Todd guys got “child molester” written all over his face…that whole family is the perfect example of some freakishly inbred “people under the stairs” type science experiment
February 21st, 2009 at 4:54 pmConsidering that women still earn less than men in the work place, and as pathetic as this is, I’m not surprised at this blatant sexism.

I think that you are a disgusting human being. You care more about money than you do about your fellow human beings, including your children, as evidenced by your comment #36 on the nationalizing banks thread.
America will only prosper as a whole if there are fewer people with your attitude.

February 21st, 2009 at 5:12 pmWayne let me tell you something. i am for a strong defense, a huge f-ucking military. some people try to hide it but i don’t: backroom deals with cigars and resort stays plotting out the strategy for making money. serious dough. Wall Street wants results so they can close with big numbers. so real americans can deposit in the bank of america, the bank of opportunity. i also expect loyalty.

February 21st, 2009 at 5:18 pmCG,
If you’re a conservative, then you are clearly an authoritarian-conservative. And authoritarian-conservatives are the last thing this country needs right now. We just went through eight years of being run by authoritarian-conservatives, and look at the mess we’re in now.
No thanks, CG, you can just sit the next four (or eight) years out. Besides, I thought you already made a lot of money when you kicked your kids out and sold your house. Why do you need more? Isn’t “too much” enough for you? You’re actually proud of the fact that you would rather take money away from people who need it in order to enrich yourself beyond your own needs? That’s just plain wrong, man.
February 21st, 2009 at 5:19 pmwhy aren’t you for a free america tros? no, you just want to regulate and stop freedoms just because someone does something wrong.
February 21st, 2009 at 5:20 pmi feel for you wachovia former ceo ken thompson. i hope you have enough income to make it through – you will be hired to be ceo again.
Wait, didn’t Wachovia fail? Why would you want the guy who ran a bank into the ground to run another one? What makes him qualified to be CEO of a bank?
February 21st, 2009 at 5:21 pmWhat need to do is deregulate the regulatory agencies, since they are the only things left that haven’t been deregulated.
February 21st, 2009 at 5:22 pmI wasn’t saying that greed is good, CG. Running a day care center is running a business. Hiring quality teachers and caregivers who care for children is one of the requirements of a good manager. That doesn’t require one to be good at child care oneself. A willingness, for instance, to charge parents enough to give them nosebleeds for picking their children up late is an unfortunate necessity for those who do not want to let parents exploit the low wage workers who work in the afternoons and generate a high turnover in those employees, which can be difficult for the children and bad for business. Logistics, schedules, policies, legal matters—business.
If they had asked which of these women you would rather have babysit or be a nanny to your children, it would be a completely different question, but no less stupid.
February 21st, 2009 at 5:23 pmI’m qualified to be a CEO of a bank at this point. I can at least read a bank statement and do a budget.
February 21st, 2009 at 5:23 pmBeing “free” does not equate to being wealthy beyond your own needs. That’s called “greedy,” and it is nothing to be proud of.
February 21st, 2009 at 5:23 pmCG “I decide the course” “you’re a real american” What does that mean?
who are you to decide anything? you sound like a child, in need of childcare, call your gal Palin. I’m sure she’ll be more than happy to oblige. I’m embarrassed for you, as you clearly have many fatal flaws
February 21st, 2009 at 5:23 pmlisten, this is america. theres only so much money that comes out of that printer press. if my goal in life is make a greater share of whats printed thats my goal. the great thing about conservatism is that you can have any kind of goal because that envisions no regulations. as for my wife and kids they should have been more loyal.
February 21st, 2009 at 5:23 pmwachovia didnt fail the government forced them to fail by making loans loans to people who couldnt afford them. If your making $50000 a year but cant afford a house go live in an apurtment. fixed rate loans just cant be given to everyone.
February 21st, 2009 at 5:25 pmHave you done something to them?
February 21st, 2009 at 5:27 pmone point of conservatism is to whip the dems into shape. we proudly act as a father figure to the dems.
February 21st, 2009 at 5:27 pmCG is practicing performance art here, right? I mean seriously, who has a favorite ceo? Does he have a rookie card? But if I had to pick one it would be the ceo of COSTCO. He takes a salary of no more than 40 times that of the lowest paid worker. He offers good pay, good benefits, and has store hours that are convenient for people with families.

February 21st, 2009 at 5:35 pmActually you’re wrong, COSTCO is doing really well, as opposed to Circuit City for instance, who laid off its well trained, but more expensive employees a couple of years ago and lost its customer base, got a bad reputation and is now out of business all together. But keep telling yourself whatever it takes to get to sleep at night. But when you wake up in the middle of the night, all alone remember, that’s how you’re going to die, alone and lonely.
Im waiting for the follow up poll “Which female politician do you think would make the most delicious sammitch?”.
February 21st, 2009 at 5:36 pmWhether or not CG is acting, he highlights the hubris of conservatives. They are con men whose ponzi scheme has just collapsed and everyone knows it. So, what do they do? Do they apologize and try to help the country they have swindled? No, they just tell us to trust them again as they try to set up their next gigantic scam in the name of “conservatism”.
February 21st, 2009 at 5:39 pmim a rule of law person bobwurst. but government needs to stop interfering in my life. ann coulter is a very giving person, she posts her articles for free on her website. her thoughts are rich and amazing.

whatever you think bobwurst the man is the head of the family. and if the man feels not enough loyalty is warming him how can he be the head of that family ? thats where choosing a new fertile wife and hoping for better children comes in. you liberals are anti-family.
February 21st, 2009 at 5:43 pmyou will not create a better economy by checking up on little stuff. is suzy hungry? did johnny go to the doctor? does shelly have a home? who can we rob so that the donny has a kewl textbook? no way no how no taxes. if the family chooses to have a different outlook that is there choice but keep it decentralizedd.

“not enough loyalty is warming him how can he be the head of that family ? thats where choosing a new fertile wife and hoping for better children comes in.”
February 21st, 2009 at 5:46 pmCG, a new fertile wife and new kids aren’t going to like you any better than the old ones if you are still an a-hole.

The government makes the law CG. All laws are interference of some sort. Do you really not see that? The law says you have to drive on the right side of the road. you have to not pass in no passing zones. you have to stop at red octagons and red lights. These laws interfere in your life.

Warmth flows both ways friend. You are one cold person. What are you going to do when your new wife goes cold from your selfishness? Move on to wife 3, or 4? Google Drew Peterson, and take a look in the mirror.
February 21st, 2009 at 5:59 pmi have no problem admitting that we need to be right. so obama does need to fail. i support the efforts of the house leadership. you will not dilute succcess by giving it to just everyone. economic growth will be on our terms.

who’s this “our” you’re talking about? surely not the MINORITY party in the house. that band of assclowns really showed us “economic suck-cess” these past eight years.
what about drew peterson. if he violated the law he must be arrested and charcoaled.
February 21st, 2009 at 6:02 pmGood afternoon Katy, How’s the weather downstate? It’s cold and snowy up here. I don’t know what to think now, I hope you’re right. The problem is, there are plenty of men out there who do think like CG. Like the promise keepers.
February 21st, 2009 at 6:02 pmThis just shows us how far we still have to go as a country that something as degrading and sexists as this can be taken seriously. No wonder Hillary Clinton was only able to crack the glass ceiling.
February 21st, 2009 at 6:03 pmjust because we are in the minority doesnt mean that people dont crave conservatism like they do a triple decker cheeseburger. see that brings me back to the private business. all kinds of products for comfort.
February 21st, 2009 at 6:03 pmCG:
I want a leader who’s as smart as I am.
You talk about strong leaders, men who will guide the country through difficult times. Well and good.
But you give us a low-grade moron for eight years, try to replace him with a geezer who thinks Czechoslovakia still exists and doesn’t know the difference between Sunni and Shia, partnered with a a woman so ill-informed that she became a national joke.
The Democrats nominated a Constitutional Law Professor from the University of Chicago, who graduated head of Law Review at Harvard Law School. He’s knowledgeable, widely read, eloquent, and can think on his feet.
What’s wrong with you? You say you want strong leaders, but you keep choosing yahoos.

Actually it does. you people spent two years painting President Obama as a terrorist, a socialist, a secret Muslim, a communist and many other things. Yet the American public chose him overwhelmingly over a conservative. America has repudiated conservatism. Deal with it.

February 21st, 2009 at 6:08 pmthe difference is decisive leadership. make a decision even if its unpopular. dont think it through like a panzy just make the decision.

February 21st, 2009 at 6:09 pmthat sentence was excessive and a miscarriage of justice. so much damage that did to libbys family. i feel for them and love them. damn you blondie!
February 21st, 2009 at 6:11 pmCG says:
we will go after obama the same way you all went after bush. this is war.
No. War is what is going on in Iraq. I was talking to a colleague at work yesterday who told me about her daughter in Iraq who has, on numerous occasions, spent afternoons picking up body parts and sorting them into piles so family members could come and take them home for burial. That is war. What you’re doing is being a whiny crybaby because you lost an election. Grow up or go to Russia.
February 21st, 2009 at 6:12 pma liberal will not have the last word over me. i can stay here until about an hr or so before my meeting with my investment advisors. they have some new products to offer me. america, what a rich place of products.
February 21st, 2009 at 6:13 pmYou already been proven to be horribly wrong. How would a failure by Obama make you magically right?

February 21st, 2009 at 6:21 pmWould you even say he was a Maverick?
February 21st, 2009 at 6:23 pmIt should be quite a meeting. Do they invest in Budweiser or Miller Lite? Then, do they take the plunge and invest in a frozen pizza? If they can’t come to a consensus, they will just have to let the bartender decide.

Well to be honest, I should be out milking my unicorn herd, but this conversation is way too important.

Why, because I think people should be given a fair trial before being sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole? What would you do, shoot him in the head as soon as he was booked?
I am ever so grateful that you will never lead this country, CG. You are one demented, deluded person.

February 21st, 2009 at 6:41 pmbobwurst – afternoon, evening to you… i’m talking with my daughter in chicago, so i know about that weather… we had snow earlier, about an inch of heavy stuff that is now mostly gone, sun came out about 2ish… still quite cold tho…
yes, it could very well be real… very old school too…
just here to rile the libs though… i wouldn’t want to give it any kind of satisfaction…
February 21st, 2009 at 6:45 pmLate to the thread, but…
does this mean that CG is “soft on crime”? Doesn’t want to regulate or stop freedoms just because someone does something wrong, like sell marijuana?
I applaud the enlightened approach to our penal system but he
February 21st, 2009 at 6:47 pmdoesn’t sound like a “real conservative” to me.
Okay let me get this straight, first CG wants laws lifted because there interference (speed limits), then wants fullforce of law (drew Peterson). But does not want anyone to get a fair trail because it is soft. Obviously hes not a big beleiver in the constituion, or is a sociopath
February 21st, 2009 at 6:48 pmI once heard a woman say that George W. Bush was the most brilliant man she had ever met. Unfortunately for her, everyone laughed so hard she had to quit her job and go back to Texas.
February 21st, 2009 at 6:50 pmAnd he needs a strong leader to make decisions because the doesn’t want government to interfere.
February 21st, 2009 at 6:52 pmI see you guys already neatly disposed of the troll’s “soft on crime” haze.
I feel like I’m not even needed here… (sniff)
February 21st, 2009 at 6:53 pmDon’t you mean, “make them pay for your shot and beer before you buy those stolen credit card numbers”?
February 21st, 2009 at 6:58 pmOn the topic of the thread; it is sexist. Why is it that only female politicians should be graded on how they might run a daycare? Are daycare only run by women? Is the message that a more appropriate role for a woman is to run a daycare and not the leadership roles they are in?

You stay classy, CG.
February 21st, 2009 at 7:05 pmSarah Palin, definitely. She takes such good care of her kids! You know Little Trigonometry is in good hands with her, and the way she raises her kids, none of them will ever get in trouble with drugs or teenage pregnancy! She’s totally unlike that shady Michelle Obama character who makes her kids go to a school — a SCHOOL — and makes sure they have everything they need, even time with their president daddy, thus screwing us taxpayers out of the President’s work time.
February 21st, 2009 at 7:09 pmI think CG must be the reincarnation of Archy from Archy and Mehitabel by Don Marquis.
I can’t imagine an intelligent human being not being able to use a shift key unless they were a cockroach.

February 21st, 2009 at 7:29 pmYou and me both, katy. I just gave up. I figured the others gave CG what was comin’ to him. I just hate to miss a good session like that.
February 21st, 2009 at 7:31 pmAmway salemen always meet on the weekend.
February 21st, 2009 at 7:40 pmMy vote is for CG’s mom.
February 21st, 2009 at 7:46 pmralph,
I think he threatened, I mean promised, to come back. I’m not all that sure you would have enjoyed him, as he was too easy to smack down.
I applaud the enlightened approach to our penal system but he doesn’t sound like a “real conservative” to me.
He doesn’t sound “real” to me.
February 21st, 2009 at 7:50 pmI’d trust Bond, James Bond with any of the Palin women.
Screw daycare!

Keyes admires Stonewall Jackson. But he’s going right for Jackson’s finale.
February 21st, 2009 at 7:54 pmReluctantly, Wayne, I have to agree — CG is a parody troll.
It was this comment on the nationalization thread that convinced me:
Way over the top, don’t you think?
February 21st, 2009 at 8:16 pmSexism is alive and kicking in the USA.

February 21st, 2009 at 8:18 pmZoo, I just checked in on latest results and the wingnuts must have been alerted, because Sarah ‘Cuda is up to 56%.
I guess it pays to raise your children right, huh?
February 21st, 2009 at 8:27 pmJeebus, I wouldn’t let Palin anywhere near my kids if they were younger.
Where’s the poll about which male politician would make the best janitor?
February 21st, 2009 at 8:35 pmralph,
I agree. Had to be a parody troll. No one is that delusional that they would accept free market capitalism even if it cost them their own family.
I’ll ignore it next time.
February 21st, 2009 at 8:39 pmralph… i read through them all… fascinatin’.
while IMing with my daughter also…
zooey – i’m having to look for ‘mother-of-the-bride’ dresses!
February 21st, 2009 at 8:43 pmaaack! they don’t make ‘em in denim either!
best janitor…
who are the contestants?
February 21st, 2009 at 8:44 pmdid any of you go to the u.s.news page, and read the shorts on the lest side?
first story – who are these journalists he’s talking about?
But now lower-level aides are voicing anger at the naming of journalists to top agency communications jobs that Democratic spokespeople thought they’d have first dibs on.

No way am I getting involved in that poll. **grump**
February 21st, 2009 at 9:05 pmObama now focusing on health care, cutting deficit
The Associated Press – 46 minutes ago
WASHINGTON (AP) – After focusing his first month on the economic mess he inherited, President Barack Obama now starts rolling out his own far-reaching agenda with a summit on fiscal policy, his first speech to Congress and the unveiling of his budget …
wow… they admit he inherited a mess…
good on the health care attention …
February 21st, 2009 at 9:06 pmzooey – 2 days! both kids getting married spring 2010
aaack!
February 21st, 2009 at 9:06 pmkaty, you need to find a reversible dress. :-D
Next thing, you’ll be a granny!
February 21st, 2009 at 9:26 pmWhat a shallow, sexist, insulting, and trivial, brain dead poll. It must have been thought of by a man. A Republican man. You know a man that still lives in the 50’s.
February 21st, 2009 at 9:27 pmzooey – lol… reversible dress… hahaha…
great idea though…
the granny thing won’t come too soon… i am ready…
February 21st, 2009 at 10:02 pmthis grandpuppy thing just goes so far…
curious – it seems most of them DO live in the 50s…
February 21st, 2009 at 10:03 pmBack to the original topic, obviously the most qualified of the four to run a day care center (full of screaming brats used to getting their ways and needing help going to the bathroom) would be the current Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi. Obviously.
February 22nd, 2009 at 12:01 amI wouldn’t let Sarah Palin be my dogsitter.
I wonder if she spays and neuters her pets?

February 22nd, 2009 at 12:26 amWomen that like Sarah Palin aren’t dumb.
February 22nd, 2009 at 2:11 amThey just don’t listen very well, think very hard, or care.
Lush, she’s supposed to be the governor of Alaska right now, not having “tons of fun all the time.”
February 22nd, 2009 at 3:56 amLushMoron is back again. Since he just cant find self respect even in the dictionary he is back again begging us to pity him for his incredible stupidity. Inexplicably proud of being one of the most ignorant and pathetic punks on the Planet and having NO other strength all he can do is beg for pity from rational human beings. Give it up Lush. No one will ever love or respect you. Your pathetic life will always be what it is but begging us to pity you all the time because of it is just tawdry and weak. Accept your stupidity. Come to terms with being agonizingly pathetic but have some pride and stop begging us to pity you for your retardation

February 22nd, 2009 at 11:50 amSarah would be the coolest day care center worker ever! She could take the kids shooting wolves from a helicopter!
February 22nd, 2009 at 11:56 amDon’t worry. Todd keeps that all in the family.
February 22nd, 2009 at 12:11 pmHere’s a better poll on daycare!!!!
February 22nd, 2009 at 12:48 pmNo way in hell my daughter would spend 2 minutes in “Sarah Vain and Small’s Daycare”
Why would anyone want their kids left at home alone, drunk, dropped-out, and knocked-up?
February 22nd, 2009 at 2:22 pmObviously the people voting in this silly poll are absolutely not considering the record Palin has on raising her OWN children: her older son, who was linked to vandalism of school buses; her oldest daughter, who is an unwed mother and high school dropout; and poor baby Trig, kept up FAR past his bedtime and left to the care of his next-older sister, who plastered down his hair with her saliva. Would anyone consider leaving their children with the irresponsible likes of Palin? NO thank you! The person with the best record so far is actually Hillary Clinton, whose raising (with Bill) of Chelsea was despite all the harassment they received from the GOP exemplary. We heard not one word of any underage drinking from Chelsea, though we heard (repeatedly) about it with the Bush twins. Chelsea is an educated, articulate and graceful young woman who has a bright future. Michelle Obama is still raising her young girls, so we don’t know the outcome yet. But both Malia and Sasha seem as if they have the same potential to be model women, like Chelsea. Why do the Dems seem to have — shall we say it? — better family values than the GOP?
