Besides her sudden disappearance from tonight’s RNC lineup, there are many other signs that Sarah Palin will be the first major-party veep nominee to drop off the ticket since George McGovern dumped Thomas Eagleton for being crazy, way back in 1972. What are the other chilling new signs of Snowbilly Loserdom?

  • Barack Obama hit 50% in national polls for the first time today, with the McCain-Palin ticket down to 42%.
  • The InTrade futures market is now offering bets on Palin dropping out.
  • Palin’s timeline for giving birth to “Trig” is absolutely bizarre, including long flights at 36 weeks, not going to a Texas hospital after her water broke, flying 10 hours back to Alaska, and then driving past a “premier neonatal unit” at a hospital near the Anchorage airport, etc.
  • We are getting about a thousand emails daily like this one: “Surely you have found out by now that Governor Palin not only fired an excellent Public Safety Commissioner as part of Troopergate, but in July she appointed a sexual harrasser, Chuck Kopp, as the replacement. Because he lied about it and she didn’t vet him properly, he stepped down after 10 days in the position and was given a $10,000.00 severance deal whereas the man who was fired without notice got nothing. All the documents and proof can be found in the Anchorage Daily News.”
  • McCain campaign manager Rick Davis, being interviewed by David Gregory on MSNBC, just screwed up and said, “Governor Failin, I mean Governor Palin.”
  • The McCain campaign is so insane over the Palin collapse that they’re lashing out at CNN for simply asking for a single example of Palin commanding the Alaska National Guard — they’re so furious, they pulled McCain off tonight’s Larry King show! (This actually means they just don’t want old Walnuts jabbering a bunch of contradictory bullshit on teevee tonight.)
  • HA HA HA HA HA the gal speaking right now just announced “Sarah Pawlenty as vice president.” This is what Jo Ann Davidson, Co-Chairman of the Republican National Committee, just said. Jesus! They’re backstage arguing about how to get Pawlenty on the ticket and she wanders out and says “Sarah Pawlenty.” Ha!

You can’t spell Sarah Palin without PHAIL.

No, they have to stick with her. I’ve got a bet to win, dammit. The Republicans won’t betray my faith in their perseverance in the face of a mass backlash against their stupidity.

As I just said on the other thread, Barry’s camp should just rearrange some names and tenses and release the exact same press release the GOP did after Barry introduced Biden.

Wow, all this is leading me to believe that Johnny WalNUTS! has, in fact, jumped his own campaign over the shark. Do they really think that pulling WalNUTS! off of King is going to play well at all? Punishing one of the big 24-hr nets because your idiot spokesperson pulled the biggest flopsweat this year is going to look really childish.

On Thursday, McCain will end his speech with, “My Friends, this last week has been a heckuva lot of fun. But seriously, enough of the tomfoolery — Lieberman was the choice from the beginning.”

echoman2000 September 2, 2008 at 8:24 pm

the stars are shining brighter tonight, the air is sweet with hope, and one big turd after another is being laid at the feet of those lucky chosen ones at the RNC. praise jeebus and pass the snowglobes. a universal round “on the house!” bottoms up!

and for the first time in a million years (give or take 6,000) it’s not about teh geys. it’s Will & Grace on oxycotin meets Hee Haw on meth. the only thing better is if they’d wheel out ashcroft to sing that special song of his.

qwerty42 September 2, 2008 at 8:25 pm

She can’t be pulled because the base loves her, but the party officials must loathe this. Plus, she doesn’t seem to get that much love from the neocons. So, with paultards massing and crazy police-state stuff going on outside, I hope our Wonkette editors are in safe places when the Republicans start rioting. I’m guessing they have access to weapons.

[re=79812]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: If Barry can get O’Reilly to admit defeat, even on a talking point or two, expect Obama to win the election at 101% of the popular vote.

Never going to happen (at least, not without O’Reilly’s head catching on fire), but I can dream…

[re=79828]Vanity Smurf[/re]: Yeah, I’ve noticed and so have others. But then you have Phyllis Schlafly warning the McCain campaign. So the social conservatives are aware of it as well. I’ll guess our editors are hearing all kinds of crazy talk. And we thought Hillary-Obama was something. This might be the Republican Chicago ’68.

Nuts should get Michelle Bachmann after Sarah gets fired, she wears the hoops, just like Sarah, but, shes seems really fucking nuts, I’m off so off hot older educated scumbag chicks thatt will do anal. the republican women will be worse than the men

Jingo September 2, 2008 at 8:47 pm

Sarah Puh-lenty sounds like a pornstar name. Could the RNC co-chair have known her from a previous career? The name also reminds me of the James Bond girl, Plenty O’Toole. No doubt she looks good in a bikini like Lana Wood did, but I see Gov. Palin as more of a Plenty O’Fool with McCain as the evil Oldfinger.

It should be noted that InTrade futures is also booking action on “2008.PRES.GIULIANI”.

The Sarah Pawlenty clip is already running on MSNBC.

Does this mean Tim Pawlenty is Trig’s father?

Orrin Hatch on MSNBC:

“It’s not far down to Wasilla
At least it’s not for me

And if the fare is right you can fly away
Abortions, they ain’t free
The Christians can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe in me…

Please?

It’s not far to Presidential land
No reason to pretend
That if I’d told McCain about myself
He’d just have picked a man
But those Christians, they do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe in me!

Failing
Takes me away
To where I’ve always dreamed I could be:
Just McCain and the nuts to carry me
And soon I will be vee pee…”

Lazy Media September 2, 2008 at 9:20 pm

So, here’s the best of all possible scenarios: McCain’s team panics, dumps Palin, then decides they MUST pick another religious-conservative type who isn’t a Mormon or Jew, and announces that MIKE HUCKABEE (Yay!)is the VP nominee. And then Huckabee, who wasn’t consulted, tells them to go take a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut.

Twinkletoes September 2, 2008 at 10:03 pm

Anyone notice that Sarah Palin eloped back in the 1980s and had son Tractor or Tariff or whatever just 8 months later? Seems the shotguns in the Palin family are passed from one generation to another, for their weddings.

Seems equally likely to me.

populucious September 2, 2008 at 10:09 pm

I confess some puzzlement about the mysterious Babygate timeline.

If Palin covered up her daughter’s pregnancy by claiming Trig as her own, then is her daughter now pregnant AGAIN? Or is a different daughter preggers? Or are they going to steal some baby and claim that that baby is the teenager’s baby. If daughter has been out of school since November, that is, assuming she left the day she was inseminated, 10 months, which I understand is long enough to bake today’s modern infant.

I’m so confused.

As a reference to rural Alaskans in general, I think “stupid backwoods stumpfuckers”, though not as succinct as X-billy, is more precise.

The Broodwich September 3, 2008 at 12:17 am

Step 1: Pay nice Alaskan boy to have unprotected sex with governor’s daughter
Step 2: Nominate hilariously unqualified governor as VP for failed campaign
Step 3: Wait for evil liberal homosexual media to talk about governor’s silly family and pregnant daughter
Step 4: Have governor drop out of ticket citing unwanted attention to family, make her look victimized
Step 5: Nominate REAL VP, Pawlenty, while PUMAs get their panties all up in a bunch about victimized woman in politics

PERMANENT REPUBLICAN MAJORITY!!!

Napkins September 3, 2008 at 12:27 am

By the rules, of the wacky fantasy, in which she lives her life, her own daughter has some explaining to do with GOD. Isn’t it statutory rape to have sex with someone under the age of 18?

Lascauxcaveman September 3, 2008 at 12:36 am

[re=80738]The Broodwich[/re]: Meh. I think you’re giving these people WAY too much credit. They know the American voter is basically stoopid, they pick a shiny new object to spruce up a lackluster ticket, they takes their chances.

Absurd though it seems, it may yet work out for them. Depends on what else happens in the news; how well known the celebrity is that (shoots self/goes to rehab/gets dumped/leaves spouse/comes out of the closet) tomorrow.

Hey, when is this election over? I’m tired of these things. Hahaha! Palin thinks she’s popular because the pollsters say she is but we know better because she’s not the right person to be VP, Biden is. Wow, this is tiring.

nobutseriously September 7, 2008 at 9:07 am

I don’t think he’ll get rid of her – I think they’ll keep her. The day that they announced her nomination as the VP pick, he was quoted saying that he was a fast decision maker in general, and that sometimes he didn’t make the best choice, but that he was always willing to deal with the consequences. I am certain the the quote wasn’t in reference to his choice in a running-mate, but the fact that he made that statement as a general one, and while he was running for president sort of knocked me off my feet.

Anyway, he may be willing to make bad decisions and face the consequences thereof, but we know we don’t have to, and so we don’t have to elect him!
