    To be fair and balanced, will there be a picture of Willis and Mr. Drummond coming from the Republican?

  2. ManchuCandidate says at 3:58 pm, August 29th, 2008

    ROTLMAO

  3. EnBuenOra says at 3:59 pm, August 29th, 2008

    I knew someone would be doing this.

  4. SuperRounder says at 4:00 pm, August 29th, 2008

    BigDupa: Or at least a picture of Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder

  5. liquiddaddy says at 4:01 pm, August 29th, 2008

    Obviously, they both have tremendous experience.

  6. Strictly for the Tardcore says at 4:02 pm, August 29th, 2008

    Why doesn’t this post have an “EPIC WIN” tag?

  7. AnnieGetYourFun says at 4:02 pm, August 29th, 2008

    Priceless.

  8. mr.november says at 4:02 pm, August 29th, 2008

    McCains new slogan: Cuntry first.

  9. I beg your pardon. I knew Anna Nicole Smith. Sarah Palin is no Anna Nicole Smith.

  10. tunamelt says at 4:05 pm, August 29th, 2008

    New facebook pic. Finally something that can replace Michael Phelps junk.

  11. Cape Clod says at 4:06 pm, August 29th, 2008

    That picture always rekindles my belief that true love exists.

  12. tunamelt says at 4:06 pm, August 29th, 2008

    EnBuenOra: I made a joke about the old millionaire and the stripper wife but I’m too lazy to photoshop anything, so I appreciate this.

  13. CthuNHu says at 4:06 pm, August 29th, 2008

    To appeal to elderly veterans across America, underneath “McCain(star)Palin,” you should really put the slogan “Get Some!”

  14. greatgooglymoogly says at 4:07 pm, August 29th, 2008

    Pure fucking genius.

  15. Whiskeybaby says at 4:09 pm, August 29th, 2008

    Cape Clod: Nothing can restore your faith in the goodness of humanity quite like a gold digger waiting for her cadaver-esque husband to die. Makes your heart melt!

  16. OMG, are they posing on a bed?

  17. tunamelt says at 4:12 pm, August 29th, 2008

    Whiskeybaby: She was living the American Dream, baby–pulling herself up by her bootstraps with the gifts God gave her and a little bit of an unconventional work ethic.

  18. smashtheduck says at 4:14 pm, August 29th, 2008

    Now if only Hopey’s peeps could STFU already about experience and just plaster this everywhere…

  19. Monsieur Grumpe says at 4:14 pm, August 29th, 2008

    Santa?

  20. gurukalehuru says at 4:15 pm, August 29th, 2008

    Did anyone else notice that during her acceptance speech, he who makes a tremendous effort to smile kept playing nervously with his wedding ring?

  21. StripesAndPlaids says at 4:15 pm, August 29th, 2008

    Look at that headboard. Looks like a Quality in on the Jersey Turnpike.

  22. KevoTron says at 4:18 pm, August 29th, 2008

    tunamelt: Nice. I kind of liked Phelps’ junk though….

    Oops! Did I type that or just think it? Can they hear me? Do they know?

  23. columnv says at 4:18 pm, August 29th, 2008

    StripesAndPlaids: I thought the chintzy gold frame behind them gave it away

  24. KevoTron says at 4:19 pm, August 29th, 2008

    I’m sort of dim. Is that Anna Nicole Smith? It’s funny regardless but I think I’m just now actually “getting” the joke.

  25. Sussemilch says at 4:20 pm, August 29th, 2008
  26. HomoPolitico says at 4:20 pm, August 29th, 2008

    Cindy has really let herself go.

  27. ChernobylSoup says at 4:20 pm, August 29th, 2008

    Lindsey Graham (R-Closet) just told Wolf Blitzer that if Palin can take on Ted Stevens, she can take on the Russians.

    No, seriously. He did.

    Really.

  28. qwerty42 says at 4:21 pm, August 29th, 2008

    KevoTron: i dunno … i was in the closet polishing my shoes.

  29. smellyal8r says at 4:21 pm, August 29th, 2008

    Monsieur Grumpe: Santa Baby…

  30. smellyal8r says at 4:22 pm, August 29th, 2008

    KevoTron: Yes and that is her (then as now) deceased husband, J Howard Marshall.

  31. regisgoat says at 4:22 pm, August 29th, 2008

    Couldn’t stop laughing.

  32. “Kevin” deserves a Pulitzer Prize or a Congressional Medal of Honor or a Cable Ace Award or something.

  33. itgetter says at 4:25 pm, August 29th, 2008

    That picture is sexist. And yet I don’t care.

    Hey, did you guys realize that at the end of McCain’s first term, Palin will have a grand total of FIVE AND A HALF YEARS in major public office?

  34. KevoTron says at 4:29 pm, August 29th, 2008

    smellyal8r: oh. Ha!

    I’m still having trouble wrapping my brain around this… A lot of people on right wing sites seem generally fired up over this and that worries me. But I don’t understand WHY they like her. Sure she’s got all the kooky makings of a typical fundie nut: creationist, anti-choice, global warming denier… But she’s got zero foreign policy cred, no real leadership experience, yadda yadda yadda.

    It seems like the GOP masses are only excited because they think she’ll deliver votes for McCain (who they never really liked anyways.) So now McCain has a better chance of winning with somebody on the ticket who would be a complete wreck as President and they’re happy because “at least it’s not the black guy”? Am I getting this?

    Thank God it’s a long weekend (with a bitchin’ concert festival to attend) I got paid today and there’s pot to be smoked. I definitely need a bong rip real soon.

  35. fish with broken dreams says at 4:31 pm, August 29th, 2008

    trig’s dad employs theBuonaparte style of pledging.

  36. Strictly for the Tardcore says at 4:34 pm, August 29th, 2008

    ChernobylSoup: …

    Wow.

    Taking on Ted Stevens, Mr. InterTubes, is credentials to stare down a world superpower? Ted Stevens must be able to do a staring contest for, like, FOREVER.

    Mostly ’cause I think he might be dead.

  37. The Incomparable Tiny Valdez says at 4:38 pm, August 29th, 2008

    I liked yesterday’s reality better than today’s.

  38. pinko-commie says at 4:43 pm, August 29th, 2008

    This picture is classic and right on. The more young and hot Sarah Palin is, the more old and wretched WALNUTS! seems. I can’t wait for both the Pres. and the VP debates. They are going to be AWESOME!

  39. ForTheTurnstiles says at 4:44 pm, August 29th, 2008

    Strictly for the Tardcore: I keep bringing this up but it bears repeating:

    She’s another Geraldine Ferraro: chosen out of desperation largely for her gender rather than her qualifications, a potential disaster as an inexperienced campaigner…

  40. Squiggyfm says at 4:50 pm, August 29th, 2008
  41. springfield_meltdown says at 4:50 pm, August 29th, 2008

    So who should be Miss Buffalo Chip… Cindy or Palin?

  42. DoctorCulturae says at 4:50 pm, August 29th, 2008

    KevoTron: Yep. We libtards say epic lose to Palin, because that’s how we see the world. The wingnut Rovian masses say, hey she’s “right” on the issues and “she makes me feel good when I watch her on the teevee. See, John is smiling and she is smiling and they’re all pretty and stuff.”

    The biggest blind spot of the Dems / left is not understanding that how we see the world is not how the Rovians see the world. They look at us and say elite, stuckup, holier-than-thou.

    Sarah with her pretty little girl… I just wonder how long it will be before Cindy is holding one of them…

  43. DoctorCulturae says at 4:51 pm, August 29th, 2008

    ForTheTurnstiles: Promise!

  44. Monsieur Grumpe says at 4:58 pm, August 29th, 2008

    Maybe this just like the Cheney assassin insurance plan. Nobody dares to take out the president because the result is something worse. Brilliant!

  45. magic titty says at 4:59 pm, August 29th, 2008

    so fucking awesome.

  46. KevoTron says at 5:01 pm, August 29th, 2008

    DoctorCulturae: Good point. I’ve been reading commentary all day. Kevin Drum (my personal favorite blogger now at Mother Jones) has made some great points that are completely mirrored by LGF writers. I think you nailed it.

    Who was the VP pick that had undergone shock therapy and tanked that one guys campaign…I think it was McGoverns pick…

    I really, really hope that Palin has had electrodes strapped to her skull and has been shocked repeatedly. Or I really really hope that she WILL have electrodes strapped to her skull and be shocked repeatedly…preferably on a reality TV show…naked…with that Feministing blogger administering the treatment…also naked….while Michael Phelps jerks off in the background.

  47. Vanity Smurf says at 5:04 pm, August 29th, 2008

    She has a bright future ahead of her on Fox News.

  48. Scooter says at 5:08 pm, August 29th, 2008

    Now the first Mrs. McCain, Carol, was a professional swimwear model. When her looks faded Grampy traded her in on a [loaded] rodeo queen. Now he’s tapped a beauty queen GILF for VP. I wish I could figure out some sort of pattern. A little help please!

  49. hatlesshead says at 5:10 pm, August 29th, 2008

    Pat Buchanan is totally losing his nut on Hardball praising Princess Polar.

  50. Scooter says at 5:11 pm, August 29th, 2008

    Is there a possibility that Palin was chosen simply because of her height? How many Repugs are there that could make McSame look tall?

  51. S.Luggo says at 5:12 pm, August 29th, 2008
  52. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 5:22 pm, August 29th, 2008

    You know Cindy is looking over the pre-nup now that McCain has his sights on a young women again.

  53. robotico says at 5:24 pm, August 29th, 2008

    Anagram Time! Or, I’m A Mange Rat! Or, Aim Rag at Men! (eeeuw)

    McCain-Palin:

    INCA CLAN IMP (Who was born south of the border?)
    CLAM IN PANIC (Hope not.)
    CALM IN PANIC (That’s better.)
    MINI CAN CLAP (If that imp lays one on her rump, better get ready for that panic.)

  54. Destonio says at 5:27 pm, August 29th, 2008
  55. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 5:37 pm, August 29th, 2008

    From Drudge on the Palin pick:

    Dobson: ‘I Would Pull that Lever’…

  56. Nathan Arizona Sr. says at 5:44 pm, August 29th, 2008

    What is the man to woman issue in Alaska, like 10 to 1? Damn no wonder she was a runner up Miss Moose. Where else do they have to go for Christs sake? A two year chief executive of a state with the same population of the city of Long Beach?! A McCain aneurysm away from the Oval Office?! I had my reservations about Obama, but those end today. What a massively pandering and self serving selection. McCain doesn’t even know her, only met her twice. AHHH!!! Talk about putting himself over his countries best interest. And one more thing, if I hear one more dumb ass PUMA on the TeeVee I am going to shit in my Yoda jammies. The PUMAs have got to be funded by the RNC. Why does anyone give two shits what they think? AND one more thing, it will be business as usual at Unpainted Arizona no matter what shitbird gets elected!

  57. hatlesshead says at 5:49 pm, August 29th, 2008

    Wonder if Cindy has signed a do not resuscitate clause for old Boner? America needs to know.

  58. TallyWacker says at 5:57 pm, August 29th, 2008

    I think a screen shot of Dolores Umbridge and Dumbledore would make a stellar campaign poster for McCain*Palin. Something about that woman is distinctly Umbridgeian.

  59. botlrokit says at 6:00 pm, August 29th, 2008

    hatlesshead: Secret Cervix say McCAIN MUST LIVE, GOD DAMMIT… LIIIIIIIIVE!!!!

  60. smashtheduck says at 6:09 pm, August 29th, 2008

    hatlesshead: Now, now, that’s a little overboard. The right nut’s reserved for Reagan.

  61. josereyes.theroof says at 6:12 pm, August 29th, 2008

    Nathan Arizona Sr.: More likely, Johnny Walnuts will be felled by the cancer. His HMO does not allow him to utilize the services of Dr. Octagon for his oncology appointments/treatment, so it’s curtains for Ol’ Five & an Half Years.

  62. freakishlystrong says at 6:33 pm, August 29th, 2008

    I’m proud to be a wonkateer, Y’all are fucking hilarious!

  63. Donkey Sauce says at 7:36 pm, August 29th, 2008

    dudes, Holling & Shelly is funnier cuz of Alaska, see?

  64. BigDupa says at 7:38 pm, August 29th, 2008

    Squiggyfm: A million thanks!

  65. sarah palin? . . . this is worse than Harriet Myers!

  66. Hamachi says at 8:19 pm, August 29th, 2008

    I love this poster.

    Unfortunately, McCain will die and leave this inexperienced lady to ruin the country.

  67. timeless says at 8:25 pm, August 29th, 2008

    I had forgotten Anna Nicole died. And now I’m sad.

  68. Beezling says at 8:39 pm, August 29th, 2008

    timeless, worry not;

    All strippers die.

    Not all strippers truly live.

  69. S.Luggo says at 9:03 pm, August 29th, 2008

    Sussemilch: Yipes, Stripes!
    Not yet revealed in the gutter press (as opposed to, ahem, whatevs), Sarah Palin is the daughter of an illicit, lusty liason between actress Brenda Vaccaro [see her pics at end of post] and retired TV comedian Howdy Doody (known to his friends as Morty). After that, Sarah was given to a pack of Alaskan sea otters [now somehow extinct] to raise.

    Vaccaro appearexd in such series as The Name of the Game, Marcus Welby, M.D., McCloud, The Streets of San Francisco, The Love Boat, St. Elsewhere, Murder, She Wrote, etc. In Midnight Cowboy she played a NYC socialite who lasciviously, with her Democrat elitist wiles, seduced poor Joe Buck. Natch, no connection between that and McPutz’s subconscious motives in selection of Palin as VP. No. Bever.

    I seek only the truth.

  70. btwbfdimho says at 10:14 pm, August 29th, 2008

    Actually the PanAm candidate chose Palin because she looks like…oh no

    If they meet in a matter/anti-matter collision, will the result be a Jim Newell? How unsteady and tenuous our universe is. I must pray.

  72. Brian Mac says at 1:41 am, August 30th, 2008

    Once again, Walnuts needs a woman to get his ass out of a crack and he pulled this one from the crack of his ass.

    Running with her sounds as tempting as getting a blow job from a piranha.

  73. Oscar Folsom Cleveland says at 2:16 am, August 30th, 2008

    ChernobylSoup: Who do you think’s in the photo? It’s Ted without his powdered wig, and Syrah without her temple undergarments.

  74. Oh, God, we need to start learing how Mugave keeps ticking now - whose blood does he drink, what kind of military dudes or scientists need to be involved to keep the skin from falling off the carcass. No matter what, he can’t hand over power to that woman

  75. The Incomparable Tiny Valdez: You and me both. It boggles me that people are excited about her. Oh well–some people are crazy, and others are dirty Socialist Muslim terrorists. Or straw men.

    Obama’s speech is still in my mind… what an incredible man. I look forward to the debates, and I look forward to President Barack Obama!

  76. I can’t wait until we get to see Biden and Palin on the same stage in a debate. She is going to make Quayle seem like a genius. I actually think she may cry.

    Sarah Palin: The Real Dope (pun intended)

  77. snarkomatic says at 9:26 pm, September 1st, 2008

    Bumper sticker:

    McCain + Palin
    7 mansions + 1 trailer

  78. Beezling says at 4:04 am, September 3rd, 2008

    tender: It boggles you?

    Didn’t you ever have health class in junior high?

    Okay, aside from her just being hot … look up ‘halo effects’.

    Psychologically, when we see someone possessing a virtue such as physical attractiveness, we assume they possess other virtues as well (as if they were wearing a halo).

    People unaware of their susceptibility to halo effects will make life decisions based on whether someone is hot or not.

  79. Hilbillary says at 1:09 pm, September 4th, 2008

    Yes, their so much more attractice than Senator Combover and Barry Belafonte, Jr.

  80. d’oh
