- In addition to a tragic collection of familial scandals, Sarah Palin also has a crippling illegal fish poaching addiction. [RedState]
- In her years as an Alaskan independence guerrilla warrior, Palin and her radical band of bearded woodspeople didn’t take kindly to being called “Americans.” [AMERICAblog]
- Sarah Palin is maybe just as qualified as losers like John Edwards and George W. Bush, so any questions about her experience are just liberal misogyny. [The Corner]
- Some Alaskan muckraker sheds light on the snowy mystery of Palin’s incompetence as mayor of Wasilla, which includes demanding books be removed from a public library and then trying to fire the librarian. [Andrew Sullivan]
- Why would pregnant Sarah Palin rather wear loose-fitting jackets than pose naked for the cover of Vanity Fair? Maybe because she’s more than some Hollywood starlet, unlike Demi Moore and Barack Obama. [Fresh Intelligence]
- Karl Rove and Joe Biden are calling each other despicable, feeling-hurting insults like “big blowhard doofus” and “architect.” [CNN Political Ticker]
Sarah Palin and her family are crazy, we know them, hell somebody needs to ask her and Todd snorting some cocaine on that 55 gallon drum on Crosswind Lake - and then ask todd about his affair years ago, then ask todd about his brother JD and all the cocaine he sold as a dealer (and was arrested for it) and then ask somebody about track (their son) being forced to go in the army after his hockey coach kicked him off the team for misbehavior, Sarah is the biggest bitch and he has always sacrificed her family (look was she is doing to Bristol) for her own betterment, hell all the kids were raised by todd - sarah never gave a shit- those kids were only photo ops - hell about 6 months ago the younger one willow was caught getting to busy with some boy at 14. Those kids are left to roam unattended all the time. All true
On hearing the news, Biden grinned and said “he’s a great American.”
I love it when he does that nasty “smile and say something nice but, in fact, hint at utter contempt thing.” Raar
is the guy in the ad on the right wearing pants? i keep looking for his cock-and-balls.
columnv:
I’ve been wondering that all day! The more I look the more I think he’s not.
WOLVERINES!!!!
I don’t think throwing hand grenades into a lake is really fishing, is it?
alaska: send pictures of saracuda doing blow off a barrel!!!
WonderWomyn: That quality in Biden is going to serve Barry (and all of us well).
This reminds me of an episode of Family Guy…
Meg plays spin the bottle with the “In Crowd,” enters the closet with the “hunky guy” and is tricked into kissing a pig.
GOP = The “In Crowd”
Wally = Meg
Sarah = The Pig
Alaska First!(TM)
alaska: “Misbehavior” has been hinted at via comments to this and other blogs, I beleive someone phrased it “jail or the military”, but it’s still pretty ambiguous and maybe kids should be off-limits. And, I’ll say something similar about the “getting busy” because that seems like normal behavior for a teenager anyway, but if true, the Roger Clinton story could have legs…
There are two facts to consider, when I think of the many fundies I’ve met.
1. Most fundies have transitioned from “F@#ked up on dope/coke/liquor to F@#ed up on the Lord.”
2. Sarah was baptized into her church at 12 yrs. old.
Sarah partied her ass off as a child.
alaska:
OMG, library books and polar bears are like sooooooo overrated. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3092/2616962306_f8dd819683.jpg
BTW: The books Palin wanted pulled from the Wisella Public Library shelves concerned contraception. Mission accomplished, apparently.
Firing the librarian??!! BANNING BOOKS??!! This shit is ON, bitch!
Magister: Track was caught having a case of teh gay.
WonderWomyn: Almost makes Biden sexy, doesn’t it?
Abuse of Power? Check. Cronyism? Check. Ability to ignore the law whenever it is convenient to you? Check. Hypocrisy? Check.
Dick Cheney must be nearly in tears over this pick, and so glad that they decided to have Bristol carry his next incarnation.
Yeah, but you see, we are the ones that won’t let the crazy wingnuts in Alaska do whatever they want to do…so, you see, it’s kind of our fault. You know, in a, “I’m not pressing charges ’cause he only hit me after I egged him on, so it’s my fault he hit me”, sort of way. Don’t worry, if Palin’s daughter marries Mr. Tough Guy, she’ll learn all about this line of argument soon enough…Me? I’m moving to the Independent Republic of Alaska right after they secede, and starting a coup! I always wanted to run a country!
“She inherited a city with zero debt, but left it with indebtedness of over $22 million.”
Hey, this makes her both a Bush minion and a Reagan conservative! Now if she’s sufficiently ignorant that she can misrepresent this fact without being aware that she’s lying, she’ll have it made.
Biden’s grin while refusing to respond to Rove gave me goosebumps. Like Joey B.’s gonna go all Titus -Andronicus-disturbingly-violent on his ass. On the plus side, Rove’s meat pie would be tender and delicious. They could call it “The Pasty Pastie.” It sells itself!
At this rate, Bristolgate will be the least of Governor Palin’s worries.
BobLoblawLawBlog: You should be sent to Gitmo for introducing the phrase “Rove’s meat pie” into the lexicon.
I really don’t know how Stewart or Colbert will be able to pick which tasty morsel to lead with, tonight. It’s such a bounty of delicious riches. The only thing I do know is that Samantha Bee needs to make her “Proud Vagina Americans” segment permanent, during this election cycle.
BobLoblawLawBlog: Seriously. Keep Roves meat to yourself. Ewww.
BTW is it illegal to poach fish now? Isn’t that code for some illicit act and, if not, can it be? (”Santorum” anyone?)
Now apparently it comes out that Todd Palin was registered as an Alaskan Independence Party member from 1995 to 2002.
http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/09/todd_palin_was_registered_memb.php
This stuff is never ending. Apparently, they also never told their kids that the trip to Ohio was to accept the veep nomination. Nice!
Cogito Ergo Bibo:
speaking of vaginas…i’m wondering if she shaves her cootchie…
but, that’s just me.
You know what I just realized?
Sarah Palin is the real-world endgame of Reese Witherspoon’s character in “Election”.
alaska: I hope every word you say is true, and that it all makes it onto the front page of every newspaper, every day, for the next 350 weeks.
My God, this woman is a complete train wreck. Which I ordinarily would love except that lately, this country elects nothing but COMPLETE TRAIN WRECKS! Yaauuggh!
So in response to Johnathan Adler– Howard Dean was Gov. of Vermont for 8 years– not less than 2. Reforming health care is not something to dismiss. He balanced a budget without the benefit oil money. He was a Vermont House Rep and Lt. Governor for 9 years prior to that. That is a lot more experience than she has– even if Vermont is smaller in revenue and population than Alaska.
And not to defend Bush– but he was Gov. of the second largest state for 5 years.
I’ve always thought that Edwards was a light weight, so I won’t defend.
But I think one of the arguments that gets lost is education. No one wants to be the elitist and bring it up. She has a BA in journalism from University of Idaho. Howard Dean has his MD and went to Yale as an undergrad, Obama and Biden both have law degrees, even Bush has his MBA. I’m sorry, but I want my President to be smarter than me. I want my Vice President to be smarter than me.
As for banning books, it got me to thinking. There was a night in Germany once, when some undesirable books were set to the torch.
Then there was that time in the ’60’s when religious types were telling people to destroy the Beatles albums, ’cause it offended their holy nostrils.
And then there was the first decade of the new millennium when our constitutional rights were banned.
Palin had precedent to inspire her actions.
How’d I miss this? A Palin spokeswoman originally announced that Palin’s experience in traveling abroat was a trip to Kuwait, Germany and Ireland. Right, right. Kuwait and Germany were on the agenda in order to visit the troops. How did Ireland get into the mix? It was a refueling stop for the plane! OMG, that’s hilarous. GOP now furiously backpeddling.
WhatTheHeck: You totally skipped over that moment in the mid 1980’s where a small town in the heartland banned erotic sex dancing and novels by Kurt Vonnegut.
I need to say something here…
My step-father, a publicly known progressive, seriously contemplated running for the State House of Representatives. He had an excellent chance of winning, mainly because the opposition was an empty suit. When he was talking to him about it, I had to tell him something that I didn’t discuss too often with my family but I was public about and *anyone* who did a 5 min. Google search would have found out…
I am Kinked (read: into BDSM)
This may or may not have come up or even have been a factor in that district, but it would have affected how he ran his campaign as well as if, and, or how I would have helped the campaign.
My parents support me. They don’t care about my lifestyle but lets say instead that my step-father was a Democrat and progressive and I was an underage pregnant girl (with or without any form of alternate lifestyle) do you think for a SECOND that the Republican opponent would have NOT used that against my step-father?
Do you think the Republican opponent would NOT have used the kink lifestyle of my step-father’s adult son?
Why should we NOT be talking about the whys wherefores and hows of Spawn of GILF’s impending spawn?
Magister: It’s not the kids; it’s who raised while publicly espousing what?

ABC method: back to basics, plus patriotism & ethics
I believe we need to respect families and provide greater access to curricula and programs THAT TEACH ETHICS AND CHARACTER. The ABC method is a local program that depends strongly on these principles. ABC students have nightly homework, back to basics curriculum, patriotism, ETHICS AND CITIZENSHIP TRAINING. Programs such as ABC have CORE PRINCIPLES OF TRUSTWORTHINESS, RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY, FAIRNESS, CARING, AND GOOD CITIZENSHIP.

The arc is complete.
The Republican party’s true birth was when America elected a great President determined to save the union.
Now the Republican party final death will be when America refuses to elect a lousy Vice President who wanted to secede from the union.
obfuscator:
Good catch.
I also forgot about the banning of card playing and dancing by some religious types.
Next thing you know, all sex except for sex in the missionary position will be banned.
Get some while you still can.
WhatTheHeck: No more “Dancing in the Sheets”???
BobLoblawLawBlog: It’s not illegal if you use a white wine sauce over light heat.
alaska: Brother JD arrested for dealing cocaine?
Jeebus, Palin is the epitome of a gift that keeps on giving.
Before the week is out, it’s all but certain that she’ll be linked to Eva Braun.
Our doofus can beat your goofus!
“Call me anything you want,” Joe says. “Welllll, you can call me Joe, or you can call me Moe, or you can call me Samuel. But you doesn’t have to call me Doofus.”
tsunami: You aren’t the only one! That makes 2 sicko-perves here…
floraway: It should also be noted that her stint in which she put her degree to use was not very successful. Sportscaster in a small town in Alaska? Yeah, that’s the kind of experience we need in DC!! She can give us play-by-play commentary of the action on the Senate floor.. not that she realizes that it is her duty to oversee the Senate as Vee-PILF.
Master Robyn: You so how to post more. Much more.
