JESUS CHRIST HAS RETURNED TO EARTH

Liveblogging Famous Historical War Leader Sarah Palin at the RNC

The next pretend president, after Old McCain dies!Guess who hasn’t been mentioned at all tonight? America’s favorite president, George W. Bush Junior! It’s as if Republicans haven’t held the White House for the past eight years. Who can remember that far back? So let’s welcome the new Geraldine Ferraro, “Barracuda Sarah” Palin — her own sister just called her that, on CNN — as she squeaks through a speech destined to give John McCain the SURGE he needs to finish this campaign as a complete sell-out loser who stands for nothing. Go Sarah!

9:16 PM — “John McCain’s presidential campaign is threatening a lawsuit against the National Enquirer over a print edition story the tabloid ran today alleging that Gov. Sarah Palin has had an extramarital affair with her husband’s business partner.” Wait, what?
9:17 PM — Just watching Rudy da Rat finish up. Thank the American God that John McCain is not afraid of choosing a strong anti-Islamic war hero as his vice president! It would be so great if Giuliani just fell over dead right now, and was found to be wearing a bondage outfit under that million-dollar suit — a bondage outfit made of korans.
9:20 PM — Hey, there’s going to be a funny video biography of Sarah Palin, set to banjo music. Let’s go refill our drinks and get ready for this great new show, narrated by Waylon Jennings and Sam McGee.
9:29 PM — Wait, what the hell, where’s the video biography? Rudy just kept screamin’ about Arabs forever! Anyway, hi Sarah. Sorry about, uh, this fucking train wreck, which you are at least partly responsible for, because you said “Yes” when Walnuts called.
9:31 PM — She already can’t lead: She’s been dumbly saying, “Thank you … Thank you so much” like a voice-mail robot for like nine hours now, instead of waving her hand and starting the speech.
9:32 PM — Video feed is blinking out as she says she’ll accept the nomination — legally, according to the Constitution, this means she can’t be the veep nominee and Ron Paul automatically becomes president.
9:32 PM — Let’s talk about the look, out of sexism. Well, she looks a lot better than Crazy Cindy! But the hair is kind of … frivolous, really. The top is okay, although it doesn’t work with those (fake?) pearls pushing right down on the collar. And she sounds like a nine-year-old kid.
9:34 PM — This whole thing of complaining about “politics” after freakin’ Rudy Giuliani gives a spittle-flying insane wingnut-radio rant, that’s just quaint. We mean, “bullshit.”
9:35 PM — Ha, do you know that she believes GOD made Cheney invade Iraq?
9:36 PM — Ugh, this is painful. Couldn’t somebody with a better voice and command of language just read a speech for her, offstage, the way the Chinese did the Olympic singing trick?
9:38 PM — This isn’t a veep nominee’s speech. It’s a goddamned infomercial for home-schooling.
9:38 PM — It’s a good thing Sarah Palin will be the friend and advocate of the special-needs kids, should she somehow get to the White House if everybody else running all dies, and all the voters die, in a plague. Because with Palin’s advocacy and, say, a personal fortune, you could take care of your special-needs kids!
9:40 PM — This is really incredible. We need a new, meaner word for “vapid lightweight.”
9:41 PM — She grew up with Harry Truman! No wonder people say she aged well — she’s 100 years old!
9:43 PM — Ha ha, community organizers help dirty negroes, but mayors of 6,000-population help white people.
9:44 PM — This is cute, watching her read the attack-dog speech. You are all free to hate her now, because she’s a tool.
9:44 PM — From ditzy hockey mom to snarling monster in 15 minutes! This really is like a terrible movie about rednecks on oxycontin.
9:45 PM — Good lord, this whole crowd is now madly chanting … NBC? CNN? US Weekly? It’s all a mesh of insanity.
9:46 PM — Ha ha ha ha John McCain wasted his whole life sucking off the national media, and now snowbilly gets the job of coming out and acting like this never happened, despite John McCain becoming a national celebrity in Nineteen-Seventy-Three and riding that story all the way to the GOP nomination after everybody else dropped out.
9:50 PM — Wow, these lies about the “Bridge to Nowhere,” which Palin supported, are going to end up being in Obama commercials tomorrow.
9:51 PM — But kudos to whoever wrote this part of the speech, because it makes her 18 months as governor sound like actual accomplishments, instead of an artfully constructed list of literally everything she did on every day as governor since 2007.
9:54 PM — It’s a chamber of commerce speech! (For the oil industry.)
9:55 PM — Oh my god that dirty negro wrote two books!!! (Wild cheering, stomping, standing, lynching ropes, etc.)
9:55 PM — Ha ha, she is complaining about the roar of a crowd, to the roar of a crowd. Do not try to follow this or your head will explode.
9:56 PM — “Victory in Iraq is in sight, and he [Obama] wants to forfeit.” Wait, isn’t Bush the president who just agreed to leave?
9:57 PM — What will be interesting is seeing this character speaking in front of anyone other than mouth-breathing GOP delegates. Because we have never seen such an ugly combination of dimwit “Meet my kids!” and pissy talk-radio talking points.
10:00 PM — It’s now 10 p.m. in the Central time zone, which means it’s 11 p.m. in the Eastern zone, which means Ohio and Florida and Pennsylvania (and Michigan, Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia) all just lost their prime-time convention coverage. Remember, these conventions are for the registered-yet-baffled voters who come across the prime-time convention coverage. Good jerb, RNC!
10:07 PM — America, we’ve met Sarah Palin before. It was in junior high. She was that snarling evil god-obsessed nut who punished you constantly and enjoyed nothing more than torture — seeing you tortured, that is. And your parents would never quite believe it because she “seemed like a nice lady,” from a distance, with her squeaky voice.
10:08 PM — But, let there be no doubt, she will be hailed by the cable commentators as the greatest orator in American/World history, and then tomorrow the evil media will get back to reporting on whatever new cheap bullshit they dig up about her wingnut church and seventeen affairs and whatever. Hooray 4 America! Clap for the knocked-up teen-ager!
10:10 PM — Ol’ Walnuts McCain waddled out, as planned — he arrived at Xcel an hour ago — and gave Sarah a semi-human hug. She made the pursed lips.
10:11 PM — “Don’t ya think we made the best choice for the next vice president of the United States? And what a beautiful family.” Honestly, that’s what McCain just said. Dear god ….
10:12 PM — This weird scene is the only thing prime-time network teevee people saw on the West Coast. It’s kind of perfect.
10:14 PM — “She is a torpedo aimed directly at Barack and Michelle Obama. This has nothing to do with Hillary Clinton.” — Chris Matthews, just now, sounding kind of shocked and disgusted.
10:14 PM — Ha, Olbermann and Matthews are snapping at each other again. After Matthews’ pretty astute comments (astute because they are the same basic comments we made, HA), Olbermann says something weird about the name of a character from a movie, which he then has to mention (Election) and the actress (Reese Witherspoon), and then it passes to David Gregory and Matthews is muttering loudly, “Well that’s not what I think, that’s not my view.” Olbermann didn’t come to St. Paul because Chris Matthews is going to beat the shit out of him.)

    she has a great face for porn.

  2. angryhippopotamus says at 10:32 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    She isn’t accepting anything, they haven’t had a roll call. IDIOTS

  3. “and my hobbies are…”

  4. graceless says at 10:32 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    So few, clapping for so long…

  5. Phew! She accepted…

  6. NoWireHangers says at 10:32 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    I can’t take 3 months of this accent, eh.

  7. That poor baby is getting passed around like a hot potato.

  8. themightysea says at 10:32 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Anybody notice that the adorable VP retardobaby is ALWAYS asleep? I think they sedate him.

  9. CivicHoliday says at 10:32 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Gawd, her voice makes me want to kill myself

  10. SkimLatteModerate says at 10:33 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    John S. McCain

    S stands for………?

  11. The 3-Legged Man says at 10:33 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    I am so up for this. Pulse just under 200.

  12. chascates says at 10:33 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    She should have come out ridin’ on a moose & shooting a rifle.

  13. She really DOES sound like Karen Walker!

  14. Cindy did a make over on Sarah! Palin’s got that 1960’s hairdo now that Cindy usually sports.

  15. Viva la Cynthia says at 10:33 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Just cuz I like thinking about Elizabeth Dole cursing, I’ll repeat:

    I bet Elizabeth Dole is sitting at home right now with a big ol’ smile thinking, “fuck all a’ y’all.”

  16. Godless Liberal * says at 10:33 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    She just did the Bill Clinton thumb point. I do not know what this means.

  17. rikitikitavi says at 10:33 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    John S. McCain? cool it on the S, Palin! McCain doesn’t like being reminded that his middle name is sidney!!!!

  18. Levi best get his applause on. He’s looking a little week in the cheering section.

  19. SayItWithWookies says at 10:33 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    When are they gonna sacrifice that yummy baby they keep passing around?

  20. Wingnut and dreadfully unqualified as she is, I can’t help but feel a little thrill down my leg at the thought that the Republican party’s new standard bearer will be an attractive, nice, authentic young lady rather than douchebags like Mitt Romney or Rudy Giuliani. For this alone, America owes a debt of gratitude to John S. McCain.

  21. AngryBlakGuy says at 10:33 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    …her voice is already boring a whole through my eardrums!

  22. Gopherit v2.0 says at 10:34 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Wow, the republicans are progressive. They accept nominations for Vise President before President. Wait, they don’t Ooops.

  23. HandsomePete says at 10:34 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Do we really have to listen to this screeching voice for the next two months? Fuck.

  24. NoWireHangers says at 10:34 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    This whole Convention looks like shit. The production value is shit. The crowd is old white men. The hall has empty patches. They chant “USA” and laugh at community organizers. They don’t have snappy video intros. It’s a shoestring convention in comparison to the DNC.

  25. barren earth says at 10:34 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    I wish someone would tell those Iraqi and Afghani bastards that were winning.

  26. Looks like Levi got a free trip to Men’s Wearhouse today!

  27. Is Levi the hawt tool with the buzz cut? Damn, I’d let him knock me up too, no doubt.

  28. I had no idea that Alaskans had that fucked up Fargo accent. SNL is going to have a field day with Palin.

  29. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 10:34 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Rudy’s diatribe went so long that they had to ditch the warm up video for Palin. They can’t run a convention, and they want to run a country?

  30. angryhippopotamus says at 10:34 pm, September 3rd, 2008
  31. PedestrianMe says at 10:34 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Losing wars is awesome. The country already lost in Vietnam, and thank goodness we got out of there!

  32. shortsshortsshorts says at 10:34 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    “Profile encouraged?”

    Is that like racial profiling?

  33. forgracie says at 10:34 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Did the republicans just nominate Julia Sweeney?

  34. SayItWithWookies says at 10:34 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Hey, she looks about seven months pregnant.

  35. chascates says at 10:34 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Talk about a screechy voice. Now I know what the Toddster took up snowmachining.

  36. Victory within site? Did they ask the people on the ground? “Mission Accomplished” II

  37. jasonelias says at 10:34 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Awful, awful voice…

  38. NoWireHangers: Oh my gawwwwd, it’s worse than Lynn Martin.

  39. Viva la Cynthia: Keep an eye on the Maine delegation, I bet Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins are doing shots!

  40. The 3-Legged Man says at 10:35 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Eye-Rack Victory within sight! My kid is going over there! Have I mentioned that?

  41. professor.cj says at 10:35 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    I totally halfway called the hair! Fucking loser RNC couldn’t decide. Up or down? Up or down? Losers. Trying to appeal to everyone satisfies no one. When will they ever learn? Now she’s not sexy librarian at work or sexy librarian at home–she’s like some junior choir leader. Totally not sexy. Fail.

  42. Viva la Cynthia says at 10:35 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Snowbunny McShrillmouth makes me so happy I don’t live in Alaska.

  43. Rudy's Microphone Wiper-Downer says at 10:35 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    She talks like she’s masticating her face.

    And did you know that John McCain was in the military? This is the first I’m hearing of this. Why didn’t they say so before?

  44. nietzscheprojectile says at 10:35 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Welcome Tracy Flick! Oh, and the S. stands for Syndey.

  45. NoWireHangers says at 10:35 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Viva la Cynthia: That’s what I said. If WALNUTS! wanted a woman, why not at least go with Elizabeth who isn’t a complete baffoon? He wanted a young, purdy one with babies.

  46. AmuseRiot says at 10:35 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    What is with the strange non-specific accent. Also she just said, “lose an election, win a war.” DRINK

  47. There she is!!!
    Are Skipper and Gilligan appearing? Well, no, this is prolly more of a Thurston and Lovie crowd.

  48. vikram200 says at 10:35 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Now who’s this McCyayin character she keeps talking about?

  49. simetrias says at 10:35 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    She just said eye-RACK. Got that right. I, rack. But what about that country out there somewhere?

  50. hrhkingfriday says at 10:35 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    My son Track, as in “Track and Field”…

  51. OMG she really DID just exploit the crap out of her Army son… and note the AND HE IS LEAVING ON 9/11 thing.

  52. CivicHoliday says at 10:35 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    9/11? Again?

  53. Viva la Cynthia says at 10:35 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Oh, god–who the fuck paid his unit off so he could get shipped out on September 11??

  54. barren earth says at 10:35 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Trak, Trig..why the fuck are her kids named after Winnie the Pooh characters?

  55. SayItWithWookies says at 10:36 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Wait — yesterday we won in Iraq, and today victory is in sight? How did that happen?

  56. *weak. whoops.

  57. irisheyes says at 10:36 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Idiocracy is on HBO. Just as accurate.

  58. AmuseRiot says at 10:36 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Less than 5 minutes and she already sold out the son headed to Iraq

  59. buckrogers says at 10:36 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    is that an israeli flag on her collar?

  60. NoWireHangers says at 10:36 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    God, they chant USA all the goddamn time. It’s scary.

  61. PedestrianMe says at 10:36 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Track is scared shitless.

  62. shortsshortsshorts says at 10:36 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    UUUUUUSSSSSSAAAAAAA UUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSSSAAAAAAAAAA

  63. She sure sounds like a VP

  64. I can’t take this. All I can think of is Mrs. Lubner’s famous egg-salad.

    “Nooogies!”

  65. Cape Clod says at 10:36 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    This the ‘Platitudes in Cans’ section of the speech.

  66. grevillea says at 10:36 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Lose the election or lose the war? Hey, why not both?

  67. SkimLatteModerate says at 10:36 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    People weren’t kidding about the “imaginative” names.

  68. The 3-Legged Man says at 10:36 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Uh oh…here comes the grandchild reference……all cheer the teen pregnancy!

  69. Viva la Cynthia says at 10:36 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Keram2: They don’t even have to write anything since she already gave her children the most hilarious names ever!

  70. mitch_philbin says at 10:36 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    My strong daughters? Except where common sense come sin …

  71. graceless says at 10:36 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Ahhh, how cute is she?

  72. OffTheRecord says at 10:36 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Track is kind of hot. But I would not do him because these people make way to many babies. And I do not want a baby because I am a bad American.

  73. AmericanValues says at 10:36 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Here! I will sacrifice my son, I also have 4 extra children ready to die for America!

  74. Fat Old Dirty Whore says at 10:37 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Mother McCain ain’t cheering for shit! Suck it, unwed teenage mothers!

  75. rikitikitavi says at 10:37 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    SkimLatteModerate: Sweetums!!

  76. SayItWithWookies says at 10:37 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Server…going….loopy….must…hang…on…

  77. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 10:37 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Godless Liberal *: She and Bill will be getting it on tomorrow during McCain’s speech.

  78. chascates says at 10:37 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Did I mention I gave birth to a child with Down syndrome rather than flushing her down the drain?

  79. dontmeanship says at 10:37 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Oh yah, they’re going to send Bristol’s boyfriend to Iraq too. Just watch.

  80. DieOnTheTurnpike says at 10:37 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    She’s introducing the family… this is going to take all night!

  81. Oohh… she’s introducing Simple Trig !

  82. Delicious says at 10:37 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    How cute. Levi knows when to clap.

  83. vikram200 says at 10:37 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Levi looks like he’s having the time of his life.

    Sidenote: When you name your kids dumbshit names like Track and Trig, you clearly need attention.

  84. Bristol, Willow and Piper. Aren’t they from ‘Charmed’?

  85. rikitikitavi says at 10:37 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    her family doesn’t seem typical from the outside, either!

  86. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 10:37 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    I do not know what this means.

    It means Monica Lewinsky’s got another job waiting for her in January.

  87. forgracie says at 10:37 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Secret Service agent to Levi Johnston, “come with us.”

    Levi Johnston, “Dude, it’s a school night.”

    Secret Service agent, “Of course it is.”

  88. Franklin Pierce & Pierce says at 10:37 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Sarah Palin = VP
    Rudy Giuliani = Attorney Genera;
    Levi Johnson = Secretary of Hair Gel

  89. She’s bragging about how many kids in her family enlisted. That’s because when you drop of school (or are chucked out) you have limited options, a fishing boat, the oil field or the military. Are these boys afraid of fishin or drillin?

  90. AngryBlakGuy says at 10:37 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    …GAWWWWWWWWWWD, that voice!!!!!!!!!!!

  91. OMG, Cindy just mounted Track!

  92. SayItWithWookies says at 10:37 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    You know you’re a redneck when you’re not even sure who the baby’s mom is.

  93. The 3-Legged Man says at 10:37 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Have another kid, Sarah! Matched set!

  94. NoWireHangers says at 10:37 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Yeah, good luck with those special needs babies if you DON’T HAVE HEALTH CARE. God, fuck the RNC

  95. PedestrianMe says at 10:38 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    This is like an ad against breeding.

  96. chunkstyle says at 10:38 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    word, they’re using Trig like a prop. Wouldn’t it be better for him to not be at a convention right now? He going to grow up and write some fantastic memoirs. More lucid that anything ol’ Sarah Failin be saying.

  97. Aww, cute kids!

    Sorry, no snark.

  98. Levi = KFED

  99. Hopetarded says at 10:38 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    They had all these days and THAT’S what they did with her hair? It looks like a hairdini threw up on the back of her head.

  100. DieOnTheTurnpike says at 10:38 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Wait… so are family off limits or political tools?

  101. Rudy's Microphone Wiper-Downer says at 10:38 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Yay! Ramps on the White House and the Clapper in all the rooms!

  102. Finally an advocate for special needs families in the White House! Because Dems hate the handicapped apparently?

  103. NoWireHangers says at 10:38 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Did you see Todd throw the baby at the little one so he could wave? HA.

  104. chascates says at 10:38 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    But you parents with special needs kids WON’T be getting any government help, just our friendship & prayers!

  105. vikram200 says at 10:39 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Oh wow, did you guys hear that Todd is a snowmobile racer?

  106. dontmeanship says at 10:39 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    well, maybe she’ll get the “special needs” vote.

  107. what is this a home reunion?? lets meet the family??

  108. CivicHoliday says at 10:39 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    hehe, quite a package

  109. The 3-Legged Man says at 10:39 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Oh, look, now she’s an advocate of the “special needs” set…..christ on a fucking hammock, the snowmobile reference……good god…..

  110. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 10:39 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    AmuseRiot: What is with the strange non-specific accent.

    I think Alaska is in Canada.

  111. “Todd is a world champion drunken snowmobile racer.”

  112. AngryBlakGuy says at 10:39 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    …didn’t she already use this speech?!

  113. Special government spending for special needs!

  114. barren earth says at 10:39 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    he’s eskimo like I’m republican

  115. That would be your friend in the woodchipper, then?

  116. SayItWithWookies says at 10:39 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    “Mothers of special needs children will have an advocate in the White House.”
    I thought they already did.

  117. themightysea says at 10:39 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    NoWireHangers: SO MUCH! I think it proves that my fellow graphic designers, as a constituency, are reliably blue. (Politically speaking — we still like to wear black.)

  118. hrhkingfriday says at 10:39 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    We met in High School, overpopulated the earth, and race snow machines. How relevant.

  119. She just mentioned her husband’s package?

  120. Did she just mention Todd’s package? WTF!

  121. NoWireHangers says at 10:39 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    And what does ANY of this have to do with you being president when WALNUTS! croaks?

  122. My boyfriend: “Ok, what’s your political platform? now that we’ve covered the whole Hee-Haw gang”

  123. mitch_philbin says at 10:39 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Did she say” “He’s still my guy?”

    ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  124. Viva la Cynthia says at 10:39 pm, September 3rd, 2008
  125. AmuseRiot says at 10:39 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    They keep passing that baby around like a ham.

  126. Anonymous Office Zombie says at 10:39 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Hey, let’s talk some more about childrens, now shall we? I’m Sarah Palin, the mommie VP. I’m a mom and I talk about children and how I can give birth all the time.

    Seriously, WTF is this?!? How is this woman qualifed for anything not involving small town American domestic life??????

  127. Oooh, she’s going to advocate for special needs kids and their families? A good idea, Sarah. Will that involve spending tax dollars?

  128. Sarah for school council! More soda machines!

  129. PedestrianMe says at 10:39 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    There are babies draped over everything.

  130. The 3-Legged Man says at 10:39 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    She’s repeating the same fucking speech from the other day…..

    Please, not the goddddammmned glass ceiling…..please….no…..

  131. Monsieur Grumpe says at 10:39 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Husband got a hair cut.

  132. barren earth says at 10:40 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    every woman can walk through every door, except the door to a family planning clinic

  133. grevillea says at 10:40 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Maybe you wouldn’t have a special needs kid if you hadn’t kept it in for 3 months past term.

  134. Fat Old Dirty Whore says at 10:40 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    What’s up with the women in this family and their shit taste in eyewear?

  135. BruceLee5000 says at 10:40 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    YEaaaaahhhh!!! WHHHOooooo! Let’s get Retarded in HERE!

    (and by “Here,” I mean Grammy Palin’s uterus. …er, rather, uterU.S.of A!)

  136. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 10:40 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    grendel: Just be happy that now that the 20-month governor of Alaska has pronounced the war over, it is really over.

  137. knoxtheharpy says at 10:40 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Aw, she wants to make America more welcoming to retards. That’s nice.

  138. “And my favorite color is pink, and I like rainbows, and fairies, and unicorns and then shooting the unicorn from an airplane and field dressing it.”

  139. She’s been dumbly saying, “Thank you … Thank you so much” like a voice-mail robot for like nine hours

    Yes! That’s exactly what she sounds like when says thank you. I knew that voice was familiar. I can’t wait till the National Enquirer confirms that Sarah is in fact the auto-attendant lady.

  140. SayItWithWookies says at 10:40 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Oh right — Sarah’s neither divorced nor polygamous. Ready to lead!

  141. professor.cj says at 10:40 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Do the Republicans even know what they’re hooting and clapping for anymore? Unions? Snow machines? Are they high? Are they really Mexicans brought in from meat packing plants for the evening at threat of deportation to clap or else?

  142. EnBuenOra says at 10:40 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Operation THE LAST 7.5 YEARS OF REPUBLICAN RULE NEVER, EVER HAPPENED is in full swing.

    That is all.

  143. shortsshortsshorts says at 10:40 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    WE GONNA BREAK DOWN THAT GLASS CEILING.
    And replace it with a real bitch.

  144. She just said the word “haberdasher!” Like, for serious!

  145. Whitey Did Katrina says at 10:40 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    She can’t deliver her speech. She just can’t. She stresses the wrong words. In every line. She’s awful. They’re going to have to change her nickname from “Barracuda” to “Admiral Stockdale” when Biden is done debating her.

  146. Slutty_Chola_Cobbler says at 10:40 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    I always knew This Palin was an undercover slut with those freaky glasses!!

    I wonder if the affair created TRIGGER Palin?

    Things that make a wonketter go hmmmm??

    I still can’t get over them naming their sons TRACK & TRIG.. And let’s not forget BRISTOL!!

    You guys grow a LOT of good (white) people don’t you?

  149. SkimLatteModerate says at 10:40 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Does she think she’s giving a speech at her brother’s wedding or something? I don’t give a fuck about your inbred family, you dumb bitch (note: apparently I’m the same gender as this person, so it’s allowed).

  150. DieOnTheTurnpike says at 10:41 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Holy Hell Bristol looks pregnant. and she’s not even seven months yet.

  151. AmuseRiot says at 10:41 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Isn’t she supposed to be convincing us that she’s ready to be Commander in Chief? This is clown shoes bible study…Frozen North edition…

  152. Viva la Cynthia says at 10:41 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Has anyone else noticed that the Republicans have got it way up for Harry Truman this time ’round (more than her just now)? What’s the deal? Maybe it’s that kindred S.?

  153. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 10:41 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Yeah! People who live in cities are fucking commies!

  154. themightysea says at 10:41 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Speaking of I-rack, is it only Bristol Palin’s boobs that are pregnant?

  155. I want to rip out my vagina and throw it at her, right now.

  156. angryhippopotamus says at 10:41 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    CNN is just following the baby as he gets passed up and down the row like a rugby ball.

  157. Squiggyfm says at 10:41 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    So is Wasilla a major crop producing hub or manufacturing center?

  158. HedonismBot says at 10:41 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Forgive me if someone already said this, but Levi is TENSE. If McCain’s mommy taps him on the shoulder, he will jump 15 feet out of his chair.

  159. Gopherit v2.0 says at 10:41 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    I grew up with great people like Truman….the best people in the world. You know, Democrats!!

  160. The 3-Legged Man says at 10:41 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Like all of you, our husband’s have had DUI’s….for god sake, the PTA reference…
    fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucck

  161. Were they too cheap to make a little movie about her to tell us all this crap?
    Do they figure she’ll be gone soon, so why waste the money?
    Why are they letting her squawk on like this?
    Tell her how to pronounce a G.
    “And I had to get married when my guy Todd knocked me up”

  162. She’s not quite sure who Harry Truman was.

    LIPSTICK?

    GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALHfkd;ajkfd;sa fhdlka jfsl; af;sajdl;ajl;faL!!!!

  165. Viva la Cynthia says at 10:42 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    My favorite analogy on the SAT:
    Sarah Palin is to “Hockey Mom” as Rudy Giuliani is to “9/11.”

  166. Is she running for Student Class President?

  167. mitch_philbin says at 10:42 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    average hockey mom? so, nothing extraordinary.

    And the dog wears the lipstick.

  168. I see they got a suit on Levi Johnston. Too bad they couldn’t have got a condom on him a few months ago.

  169. pixiestyx says at 10:42 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Erghhh…I think my ears are gonna throw up.

  170. ShaqsDong says at 10:42 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Somone should tell her we dont play hockey in America.

  171. simetrias says at 10:42 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    At least a pitbull doesn’t use 80s lipliner when applying lipstick….

  172. Oh shit, hockey mom ad libs. All hail Presnit Palin!

  173. BTW…The republitards passed out those “hand made” signs at the doors

  174. The 3-Legged Man says at 10:42 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Well, technically, she’s a Hockey Mom-in-Law….

  175. PedestrianMe says at 10:42 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    CNN online reporter Reggie Aqui reported that the “handmade” signs were made en masse and handed out by one person.

  176. Difference between a hockey stick and McCain’s dick? Lipstick.

  177. Sarah, if you don’t want to make your family an issue in this election, then stop fucking talking about them ad nauseam.

  178. AmericanValues says at 10:42 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Palin is a snarling pitbull!!!

  179. SystemError says at 10:42 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Just said her husband has “Eskimo” heritage. Not cool for someone from Alaska to know that most Native Alaskans see this as a slur.

  180. AngryBlakGuy says at 10:42 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    …that kid just licked her hand wiped the tard baby with it!

  181. “And my hubby’s a super-awesome snowmachine racer WHO WAS CAUGHT CHEATING IN THE 2007 IRONDOG RACE!”

    Oh, wait. She left that second part out.

  184. Maybe they’ll return the favor and explain what the VP does

  185. Fat Old Dirty Whore says at 10:43 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Ok that little girl pasting down that baby’s hair is about ten thousand flavors of adorable.

  186. Rudy's Microphone Wiper-Downer says at 10:43 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Is she running for VP, or the PTfuckingA?

  187. John McCain is a genius. This lady is literally the only likeable Republican, apart from maybe Huckabee.

  188. knitgrrl: Throw it at me! Political conventions are great hookups!

  189. SkimLatteModerate says at 10:43 pm, September 3rd, 2008

  191. hrhkingfriday says at 10:43 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    But, Sarah, you *don’t* know what the job involves. Unless you’re flip flopping or “learning” (whatever that elitist shit is).

  192. NoWireHangers says at 10:43 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    LOOK DOWN ON EXPERIENCE????

    I can’t. You can’t. What are they? What the Fuck? I mean? Did they not JUST say Barry had no experience, and now they’re saying Palin has enough experience? IT DOESN’T EVEN MAKE SENSE. God, you HAVE to be retarded to eat this shit up.

  193. Did the little girl just smear her spittle all over the baby’s head????

  199. Gopherit v2.0 says at 10:43 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    I didn’t need focus groups and profiles…..but I did need a lobbyist!

    Ooooh. i’m all atwitter to hear about the job of a mayor in shitberg Alaska.

    And she had responsibilities Like hiring a city manager to do her job for her?

  200. Who was that being led out forcefully? I bet it was a LIBERAL

  201. OOOOH! protesters getting hauled out!

  202. Anonymous Office Zombie says at 10:43 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    You are kidding me? “Like a community organizer only with actual responsibilities.” These people have no soul.

  203. OffTheRecord says at 10:43 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    WTF. Was that kid licking the baby?

    This community organizer shit is getting kind of old. I kind of hate you Caribou Barbie.

  204. Actual responsibilities like banning books in the public library.

  205. Another DC Lawyer (Again) says at 10:43 pm, September 3rd, 2008

  222. shortsshortsshorts says at 10:44 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Bitch just talked shit about San Francisco. I think I have to sodomize everyone around me now.

  223. McCain is always the same confused bitter old man… everywhere he goes

    HedonismBot: It’s cuz he has a shotgun to his head

  226. “Mothers of special needs children will have an advocate in the White House.”
    I thought they already did.

    She got voted out in 1992

  227. Rudy's Microphone Wiper-Downer says at 10:45 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Woot..somebody’s getting tossed out. Bad news though: To show it on the TVs, they had to show all those farking empty seats.

  228. dontmeanship says at 10:45 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Lorax: yes. very symbolic for republicans

  229. PedestrianMe says at 10:45 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    These are all of Hillary Clinton’s criticisms of Obama.

  230. SayItWithWookies says at 10:45 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Did Democrats belittle her mayordom of Wasilla? ‘Cause I remember two weeks ago when Karl Rove was talking about how Tim Kaine was a lousy VP pick because, before becoming governor for three years, he had been the mayor of a town of 150,000. (In reality it’s closer to 230,000 but whatever).

  231. hrhkingfriday says at 10:45 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Oh, hey, is that an AMERICAN flag on your lapel? Or an alaskan flag? HMMMMMMM??????

  232. Sara Benincasa says at 10:45 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    She is a goddess. I am obsessed with her. Please, let this woman reign in our hearts and minds forever. I also would like for her to force me to push a squealing parasite out from my pussy, because I’m not allowed to take a pill to make a few cells go bye-bye after a condom breaks. She’s just that sexy.

  233. OffTheRecord says at 10:45 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    also, except that five square blocks in chicago has the same population as her town. and did she have to deal with inner city crime? right

    DieOnTheTurnpike: It’s all the hormones in milk. Expect a cottage industry of lawsuits for breast cancer caused by hormones in dairy products.

    I mean, have you ever noticed how 12-14 year olds have huge tits? I have.

  244. Because reporters and commentators are all from Belize. Little known fact.

  245. SayItWithWookies says at 10:46 pm, September 3rd, 2008

  246. And to think I thought this campaign wasn’t going to have any bimbo eruptions.

  247. NoWireHangers says at 10:46 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    You’re going to Washington to be the latest fool in 8 years of incompetent leadership.

  248. pixiestyx says at 10:46 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Total and complete genius, this little cupcake is.

  250. Palinator says at 10:46 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    So cool. This is totally falling to pieces. She is so bad. They should have found out if she could talk first.

    Maybe they picked her because she was the only republican who would make McCain look like a good public speaker?

  251. jarsilver says at 10:46 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    hrhkingfriday: I seriously think that’s an Israeli flag.

    We are over 17 minutes into this speech, and has she given a single reason why she should be a heart beat away from the presidency? I mean, other than she is not an uppity negro?

  254. AngryBlakGuy: i spit beer on myself when i saw that. CLASSY

  255. Grouchy Marxist says at 10:46 pm, September 3rd, 2008

  256. mitch_philbin says at 10:46 pm, September 3rd, 2008

  257. gradgrind says at 10:47 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Um, she could leave this nation better than she found it by LEAVING.

  258. Leave this nation better than we found it? What, America isn’t good enough for you already, Sarah bin Palin Hussein Obama?

  259. Maurice Levy says at 10:47 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    I can’t wait until she actually has to form a coherent thought in a debate rather than reading the Republican hate-points.

  260. shortsshortsshorts says at 10:47 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Gopherit v2.0: Don’t go there yet. She’s doing herself enough failure without bringing that up.

  261. NoWireHangers: They should have the woman who starred in Fargo overdub her voice.
    It’d be charming even if she’s still speaking republican.

  262. I have never had a real job in politics. In fact, I don’t even understand how to govern. But the media is all “why don’t you understand foreign policy? Why won’t you answer our questions? Why are you under investigation in your home state?” and I’m all like, “I don’t care what you think. I just know that idiots will like my accent, the fact that my daughter is pregnant, and that I had a retarded baby.”

  263. barren earth says at 10:47 pm, September 3rd, 2008

  264. Viva la Cynthia says at 10:47 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    A servant’s heart? Damn, her maids better watch out tonight when she gets home….

    (By the way, they’re all completely right–community organizers do nothing and they DEFINITELY do NOT want to serve ANYONE.)

  265. “Servant’s heart” = Jesus Code

  266. 1963 called. It wants its hairdo back.

  267. Do you guys remember the movie, “The Witches”, based on the Roald Dahl book? There’s this scene where Anjelica Huston, the head witch, is giving a speech about how she’s got a plan to eradicate all kids, and the witches go nuts with excitement. They drool, shake, and laugh so hard you can see their wisdom teeth.

    This reminds me of that. The crowd shots are terrifying.

  268. Rudy's Microphone Wiper-Downer says at 10:47 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    She’s doing very well. She wants everyone to know she’s feisty. Good. Joe, you now have permission to take the gloves off and tune her up like Obama will McCain.

  272. tits.mcgee says at 10:48 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    haven’t i heard this bit before?

  273. This slideshow thing behind here looks like something my uncle would have put together after a trip, circa 1962.

  274. The 3-Legged Man says at 10:48 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Why are you being investigated, Sarah? Don’t forget to mention that.

  275. NoWireHangers says at 10:48 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    The thing about the people that are cheering is that they’d cheer for a retarded monkey if it was Republican.

  276. irisheyes says at 10:48 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    can somebody reassure me that this crapfest will not actually energize the rupublitards to a win in november?

  277. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 10:48 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Strange how she doesn’t mention that all the intrenched interest and power brokers in her state were Republicans.

  278. SkimLatteModerate says at 10:48 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    barren earth: There is plenty of room up here (in Canada-land). And the good parts aren’t nearly as cold as Alaska.

  279. Palinator says at 10:48 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Watch her eyes flirt as she talks about luxury jets.

  280. The 3-Legged Man says at 10:48 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    What’s E-Bay? Is that on the Intertubes?

  281. At least she’s not getting that tight-lipped mean ambitious look from earlier speeches…

  282. rocktonsammy says at 10:48 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    so she won’t be going to Scranton or SF

  283. barren earth says at 10:49 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    I can’t wait to bid on Air Force One on eBay!

  284. Maurice Levy says at 10:49 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    She took on the bald-faced Republican corruption and instituted a less obvious corruption. Good for her.

  285. obfuscator says at 10:49 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Oh snap, she’s dissing private jets? Cindy does not approve.

  286. “I put it on eBay” is a fantastic line.

  287. BruceLee5000 says at 10:49 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    She loves to drive herself to work. It’s easier to stop off for afternoon trysts that way…

  288. Trust me, Sarah, nobody considers you unqualified because you’re not part of the Washington elite.

    Any more than they consider pee undrinkable because it doesn’t come in champagne bottles.

  289. knoxtheharpy says at 10:49 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    She drives herself to work! From Wasilla to Juneau, you guys!

  290. nietzscheprojectile says at 10:49 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Ethics reform?!? She kept the fucking $237M dollars for the bridge to nowhere for other shit. Arrghhh!

  291. eastcoastliberal says at 10:49 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    What is that toddler doing to that special needs baby?

  292. dontmeanship says at 10:49 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    oh, she’s in trouble with them now. She’s against luxury jets and drives herself to work.

  293. Solipsism has never been worse with these gigantic ubiquitous ass-clowns.

  294. The 3-Legged Man says at 10:49 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Tell us about the $2 Billion you’re handing out to Alaskans this month from the Permanent Fund.

  295. Fought the good ole boys…like trying to have ex-brother-in-law fired, perhaps?

  296. Personal chef and chauffeur?!?
    ELITIST ELITIST!!!

  297. angryhippopotamus says at 10:49 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: HAHAHHAHAHA

  298. rikitikitavi says at 10:49 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Sara Benincasa: the real Sarah Benincasa? those videos are hilarious

  299. loudmouthredhead says at 10:49 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    So….high school? I don’t know how else to describe it? What exactly did she get a degree in?

  300. Delicious says at 10:49 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Sara Benincasa: Welcome! If that’s really you.

    Palin sounds remarkably like you.

  301. HEY LOOK AT ME! I CAN PRETEND TO BE DOWN HOME FOLK, JUST LIKE DUBYA. Also, the joke about the chef and her kids was a little too Phyllis Diller for me.

  302. SHE LIES!

  303. she couldn’t write a speech this grammatically correct if you paid her 8,000,000 fiat dollars

  304. Rodney Badger says at 10:50 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Levi Johnstone did not tie his own tie. What a fag.

  305. ohiolobbyist says at 10:50 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    eastcoastliberal: Did she just poke it in the eye?

  306. grevillea says at 10:50 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Leave the country in better shape than you found it? Not hard after Bush!

  307. StrangelyBrown says at 10:50 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Way to lay off your employees, Sarah!

  308. Attention walmart shoppers: crazy white woman speech on sale in aisle wacko

  309. noidiotsplease says at 10:50 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    This speech is calling me physical pain.

    Your kids miss the personal chef, because neither you or your husband were cooking.

  310. Hey, Wait! Did she just say every family has it’s “DOWNS”? WTF??
    That is one cold bitch.

  311. The 3-Legged Man says at 10:50 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    The Bridge to Nowhere lie again. Baldfaced whore liar.

  312. BruceLee5000 says at 10:50 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Yeah, vetoes do work. Except when you try to veto books out of a public fucking library, you crazy cooze.

  313. Alaska Alaska Alaska Alaska Alaska… what do you MEAN we’re not in Alaska???

  314. angrymommy says at 10:50 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    please tell me she isn’t really canadian?

  315. Franklin Pierce & Pierce says at 10:50 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    I see we have entered the lying portion of our speech.

  316. shortsshortsshorts says at 10:50 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Dude she said that shit about building bridges last week.

  317. badco/LoJ says at 10:50 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    These people won’t stop fucking screaming,

    “I’m Sarah Palin.”

    YAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY

    “I have five kids.”

    USA! USA! USA!

    “One has special needs.”

    SPE-CIAL NEEDS! SPE-CIAL NEEDS!

  318. SkimLatteModerate says at 10:50 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Palin is bringing up the bridge to nowhere, voluntarily? - OH NO SHE DI’INT

  319. mitch_philbin says at 10:50 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Thanks but no thanks on the bridge to nowhere. But I’ll keep the $400,000,000 …. oh, and I supported the bridge before I flip-flopped.

  320. Her voice is so piercing my dog is howling at the screen.

  321. accidental_tourist says at 10:50 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    God, that voice. My dog just laid flat on the floor and covered his ears with both paws. Seriously.

  322. SayItWithWookies says at 10:50 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    “Nearly half a billion dollars in vetos.”
    Half of which was paid for by the money for that bridge they didn’t build. OH, and she mentioned it.

  323. forgracie says at 10:50 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Lionel Hutz Esq.: Bingo! That and the rack….

  324. Gopherit v2.0 says at 10:50 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Yup….including vetos for programs for young mothers.
    Lying WHORE!!! Fuck this shit. I can’t listen to her. But leave it to a
    bunch of republican to make a practiced liar out of someone i less than a week.

  325. OMG. JR is in the audience! For those of you too young: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dallas_(TV_series)

  326. I want a Piper-cam reserved for the bottom left corner of my TV screen. I swear I just saw her picking baby Trigg’s nose

  327. Leave it to Republicans to transform themselves into the party that vows to go to Washington and kick out Republicans.

  328. shortsshortsshorts says at 10:51 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    EHH? YA KNOW????? EH???

  329. themightysea says at 10:51 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    HAHA toddler is making the baby more retarded by picking at him.

    What’s with the uninspiring black background? I know people didn’t like the ‘obamopolis’ set, but c’mon.

  330. NoWireHangers says at 10:51 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    I fought to leave my city with MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF DEBT…

  331. competition and basic fairness…like awarding every contract to BP…where hubby works…i mean “worked”

  332. jasonelias says at 10:51 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    NoWireHangers: That pretty much sums up George W. Bush’s political career…

  333. Viva la Cynthia says at 10:51 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    obfuscator: Well, she does have an extra one to carry the pills around in…

  334. villageatrois says at 10:51 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Hey, she has experience with a veto pen, though she doesn’t veto Todd’s pen very often.

    Oops! Just lied about bridge to nowhere earmark. She vetoed building it, but kept the money and gave it to Alaskans for beer and drugs.

  335. american mutt says at 10:51 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Wouldn’t that be so funny if that 17yr old’s baby comes out black? ‘Cause, I think that would be funny.

  336. simetrias says at 10:51 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    If this speech gets anything other than total pans from the media, general public, etc, I’m moving to Hawa’ai.

    Couldn’t they have given her an emergency accent lesson, at least? That nasal while is astoundingly annoying. Almost as bad as what comes out of W’s mouth, shucks.

  337. Grouchy Marxist: Finally! I’ve been pushing that comparison from day one of this fiasco!

  338. The 3-Legged Man says at 10:51 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    How many bidders were there on the gas pipeline, Sarah? Oh, one? A Canadian company? Wow. And how much did you give them for startup? Oh, $500 million you say? Very conservative.

  339. Delicious says at 10:51 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Pray for the pipeline! Pray for the pipeline!

  340. barren earth says at 10:51 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    SkimLatteModerate: thanks! Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that!

  341. Rudy's Microphone Wiper-Downer says at 10:51 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    I want to shove pencils in my head, but I’m out of pencils.

  342. NoWireHangers says at 10:51 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Some people won’t vote for her due to her accent alone, right?

  343. obfuscator says at 10:51 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    As governor, she’s vetoed nearly half a billion dollars of the wasteful earmarks that she actively lobbied for as mayor.

    Thanks but no thanks on the bridge to nowhere? Get the fuck out of here, lady. She EVENTUALLY nixed the bridge, but was happy to keep the money.

  344. magic titty says at 10:51 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    what was that about laying pipe?

  345. Anonymous Office Zombie says at 10:52 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Who cares what this brain-dead hick has to say. All I care about is shivving Rudy… repeatedly.

  346. pixiestyx says at 10:52 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    It’s gonna take more than a natural gas pipeline to get to energy independence, ya dizt…

    hateherhateherhateher….

  347. loudmouthredhead says at 10:52 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    You just watch. To prove her toughness, Palin will pinch out a kid right on stage, MID-SENTENCE. SHE PLAYED BASKETBALL, MUTHAFUCKAS!

    Jeebus HAS returned, and he is FUCKIN’ HOTT! U-S-A! WE-ARE-GHEY!

  348. AmuseRiot says at 10:52 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    She’s trashing a jet, doesn’t she realize she’s campaigning via jet? A sexy “straight talking” jet.

    She’s also bragging about vetos on the budget… including funding for teenage mothers.

    She’s like W but stupid-er.

  349. Viva la Cynthia says at 10:52 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Oh, here it comes….DRIIIIIILLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!

    This is now officially the stickiest and grossest convention center ever!

  350. NoWireHangers says at 10:52 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    These glasses that I’m wearing tell you that I’m smart…

  351. I will say this for Sarah P, she does not drop that “s” at the end of sen-tun-susssss

  352. SayItWithWookies says at 10:52 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    “Dangerous foreign powers that do not have our interests at heart.”
    i.e. our allies.

  354. madtowngooner says at 10:52 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    rikitikitavi: It’s meant to be a play on Harry S Truman, only in this case it means sonovabitch this guy is fucking out of his mind nominating S. Palin. I want to die quickly if she and Grampa get elected.

  355. Fighting Bill says at 10:52 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Drill–like she did with her husband’s business partner (see National Enquirer, print edition).

  356. jasonelias says at 10:52 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Biden’s going to have fun with her.

  357. irisheyes: I dunno. Lot of comments here that she is a crappy speaker but I fear this will resonante as long as she doesn’t say SCRANton too much. Someone tell me I’m wrong.

  358. hatlesshead says at 10:53 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Cindy had Trig and shotgunned him which means he will be out till next Wednesday.

  359. DieOnTheTurnpike says at 10:53 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Energy Independence = Drill the Wildlife reserve harder than Levi drilled my daughter.

  360. populucious says at 10:53 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    OMG, they’re really doing it. They’re really trying to make Russia the new fabulous enemy of the future.

  361. forgracie says at 10:53 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    And now onto the question round…

  362. She seems really, truly weak when talking about foreign countries. She needs to stick to the reformist, good-government, populist themes and not even bother trying to pronounce foreign country names.

  363. Ten bucks that says she can’t find Russia on a map. Or have a clue as to where our “European allies” are.

  364. barren earth says at 10:53 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    oh oh oh oh..look at her say the names of lots of countries that she’s never been to!!

  365. Sharif DelMonte says at 10:53 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Damn those Russian foreign suppliers! Boycott Vodka! Drink Alaskan Oil!

  366. Eric_ Arthur_ Blair says at 10:53 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Are we watching the republican convention or a rerun of the movie “Drop Dead Gorgeous” I can’t help being reminded of Kirstie Allie’s character in that movie with every work Palin speaks.

  367. The 3-Legged Man says at 10:53 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Yes! We’re independent of foreign oil! No need to conserve when we got plenty of that Black Gold ready to drill!

  368. Hopetarded says at 10:53 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Oh, now she’s just randomly ticking off names of countries that produce oil. There’s that foreign policy expertise.

  369. Bitterz Unite! Rape Alaska, yeah!

  370. An airplane a luxury… well, Cindy McCain sure did disagree when she was the spouse of then senate candidate McCain….

  371. Drill here, Drill now, Drill Palin!

  372. oh, Sarah, you’re doing a wonderful job producing gas for America right now.

  373. hockeymom says at 10:53 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    How is this speech going to play with the pundits? How do you think this will be spun? I’m watching with the sound off because I’m afraid if I actually turn the sound on, I will hear the dem’s chance slowly draining away. Please tell me that she sucks. Not just to libs, but will suck to the rest of the non-fundie nation.
    Please.

  374. chascates says at 10:53 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    We might ought to just start drilling (Drill Baby DRILL!) everywhere. And take that from a gal who knows drillin’

  375. simetrias says at 10:53 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    eastcoastliberal: Mothering him? Gotta practice before junior high….

  376. I’m shocked. She wants to drill! Who could have guessed?

  377. NoWireHangers says at 10:53 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Lay pipelines up your ass, lady.

  378. We’ve got lots of gas.

  379. The 3-Legged Man says at 10:53 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Tell us how Bush helped the past 8 years, Sarah!

  380. professor.cj says at 10:54 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    She’s not a lady, she’s not a woman, she’s a “gal.” I just threw up a little. And that was good scotch.

  381. Ok. I’m going to explain this to the Republicans: Oil is a globally traded commodity. Even if we get ourselves off foreign oil, shutting off oil in Saudi Arabia still affects the price of oil, even in the U.S., you stupid, fucking morons.

  382. Tard babies make good lamp oil for Alaskan igloos.

  383. StrangelyBrown says at 10:54 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    McCain and Palin will be layin’ the pipe come January! You heard it here, folks…

  384. Squiggyfm says at 10:54 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    McCain is going to lay some pipe on her north slope?

  385. Newsflash for Sarah Palin: Jesus. If McCain-Palin ever comes into play, YOU won’t be doing anything. Nitwit.

  386. CivicHoliday says at 10:54 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    DRILLING WON’T HELP WORTH A SHIT, YOU MADWOMAN

  387. Buffy and Hildegard says at 10:54 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Her family DOES know a lot about laying pipe.

  388. barren earth says at 10:54 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    huh huh..she said she was going to lay more pipeline. Isn’t that what got you 4 kids and a grandkid?

  389. ohiolobbyist says at 10:54 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Did she say in a McCain/Palin administration, we’re going to lay more pipe? Jesus, these people are OBSESSED with fucking. Is the butt secks graph coming soon?

  390. loudmouthredhead says at 10:54 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Why exactly would Iran turn off it’s “tap”? Considering they get all of their money from it?

    “Bein’ from da North Slope, I know a thingee or two aboot gas and oil, ya know”

  391. She just promised that we’d lay more pipeline. Yeahhhh!!!!

  392. EnBuenOra says at 10:54 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Alright! Republicans are now for American workers?

  393. Viva la Cynthia says at 10:54 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Lol, nice shot of the teleprompter, MSNBC!

  394. paolaccio says at 10:54 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Lay more pipe! Easy laugh line, c’mon!

  395. dumbfounded says at 10:55 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Good going Reps, you just said “Bring it on” to the entire
    media. Good Luck you stupid, arrogant, self centered idiots

  396. Walnuts, how could you do this to her!

  397. Lay more pipelines?? I’d lay some pipe in her if you know what I mean.

  398. My grade school teachers had more charisma. This speech was supposed to set the country on fire?

  399. AngryBlakGuy says at 10:55 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    …Roberta McCain looks lost!

  400. obfuscator says at 10:55 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Uh, he wrote a pretty strong ethics/lobbying reform law not too long after he was sworn into the Senate…

  401. Fighting Bill says at 10:55 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Please, please, please keep her on the ticket. She is a treasure.

  402. villageatrois says at 10:55 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    She looks like Julia Louis Dreyfus on SNL and sounds like Gilda Radner doing the teenager skit with Bill Murray.

  403. loudmouthredhead says at 10:55 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    barren earth: She was practicing the pronunciations back stage, and STILL messed up Ven-eh-zoo-eee-la.

  404. The 3-Legged Man says at 10:55 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Haha! Those Dems don’t know that wind and solar even exist! They’re dopes! They hate America!

  405. graceless says at 10:55 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    I hope she wraps this up before the 11 o’clock news.

  406. simetrias says at 10:55 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    He authored two books, and we can’t even write our names! What does that say about him, huh?

  407. PedestrianMe says at 10:55 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    What a sad time to be a Republican.

  408. Waldo Geraldo Faldo says at 10:55 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    OH SNAP! WHEREZ YOUR LAWZ AT OBAMMER! NUTZ TO YOU

  409. SayItWithWookies says at 10:55 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Wow. Just totally lied about Obama not authoring a major law.

  410. schvitzatura says at 10:56 pm, September 3rd, 2008

  411. NoWireHangers says at 10:56 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    OH NO YOU DIDN’T DISS THE GREEK COLUMNS, BITCH

  412. EnBuenOra says at 10:56 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Barack Obama never once authored a law. Except the ones he passed, ’cause they have his name on it, and whatnot, like that reform you mentioned, but, um, he didn’t physically write each letter his self…

  413. She just called herself a “gal.” What is this, the Donna Reed Show?

  414. american mutt: oh, if there is a God…

  415. How does the “independence from foreign oil” and “American workers” rhetoric reconcile with Mitt’s free trade and capitalism shtick? Oh, the cognitive dissonance, it hurts.

  416. gradgrind says at 10:56 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Not smart to fun about Barocky’s “devoted followers” when his crowds outnumber yours 20-to-1. And that’s today. Next week, more like 400-to-1.

  417. Delicious says at 10:56 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Did she make fun of the Greeks?

  418. forgracie says at 10:56 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Now McCain, he knows how to win a war. See, first you get captured…

  419. Ilikepigeons says at 10:56 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    damn those heterosexual hair dressers.
    It looks like Cindy has a bald spot.

  420. grevillea says at 10:56 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    “Durlene won’t solve every problem.” Wait, I thought her name was Sarah?

  421. Anonymous Office Zombie says at 10:56 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    YOU are questioning Obama’s substance. Bring it on, bitch. Bring it on. We’re going to eat you and The Rat alive.

  422. Fat Old Dirty Whore says at 10:56 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    OOOOOOH, BURN! I’d rather have styrofoam columns than a backdrop full of slides from my great aunt’s RV sojourn through middle America circa 1972.

    I think she may be more evil than Cheney. I didn’t think that was possible, but she just makes me so inexplicably angry that I cannot even explain it. As a woman I am just ashamed that she could be representing my gender.

    Oh christ. I am so sick of this “hes a fancy speaker bullshit.” After eight years of Bush is a president who can form complete sentences too much to ask?

  425. chascates says at 10:56 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    And you just thought Bush & Cheney were the oil company shills–Palin is dripping with crude. Ma & Pa Kettle Crude, that is!

  426. SayItWithWookies says at 10:57 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Wow — they broke down the door of the bitch barn tonight, didn’t they?

  427. You know, there’s so much nastiness in that room that i’m surprised God isn’t throwing bolds of thunder from heaven.

  428. The 3-Legged Man says at 10:57 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Dems want the US to lose in Eye-Rack! They hate the U.S…they hate YOU!

  429. So clearly she’s an attack dog in the making.

    I hate her so much.

  430. Viva la Cynthia says at 10:57 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: She’s just a little confused because she thought she was going to hear Herbert Hoover speak tonight and she’s worried that this lady will make her miss it.

  431. Texas2Step says at 10:57 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    mitch_philbin: The pin is a “Gold Star” Pin. It’s for parents who have kids in service. Number of stars=number of kids in service.

  432. TheSYNDICATE says at 10:57 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Sarah tooking about foreign policy? Ouch, this is painful.

  433. Rudy's Microphone Wiper-Downer says at 10:57 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    She hates styrofoam Greek columns and babies with normal names. She’s for special needs.

    And she says nuclear just like Dub-ya: Newk-yoo-lar.

  434. loudmouthredhead says at 10:57 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Lay more pipe! Drill baby drill!
    That’s what Bristol said!

  435. Maurice Levy says at 10:57 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    RIGHTS SUCK!!!

  436. Riiight…miranda schmiranda
    holy jeebus she is SCARY

  437. shortsshortsshorts says at 10:57 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    I officially fucking hate this woman. She hasn’t even said Barry’s name for fuck sake, and as she keeps talking I want her to die. I want her to be destroyed, as if she is some kind of inorganic being. A plague.

  438. NoWireHangers says at 10:57 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    YOU DIRTY FUCKS. YES, SO YOU’RE CLAPPING FOR TORTURE? IDIOTIC FUCKS.

  439. Sharif DelMonte says at 10:57 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    No rights for terrorists! Torture for all!

  440. villageatrois says at 10:57 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    The Terruses are here! She’s gonna rub their turbans off.

  441. Build nuclear plants…. who’s gonna pay for THAT???

    And if energy independence is sooo important, why did Johnny-mac either vote against bills that would have helped do that or just fail to show up for such votes.

    Sarah Phailin seems to forget that it was Barak Obama that came out against the war BEFORE it began, citing that such a war would lead to untold casualties, and would lead to a long term occupation. Hmmmm who had the rue foresight???

  442. StrangelyBrown says at 10:57 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    And she brings in the woman vote … how?

  443. simetrias says at 10:57 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Wow. She’s opened the door for Biden to come roaring tomorrow. What a bunch of CRAP this is.

  444. The 3-Legged Man says at 10:57 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Did she just endorse torture and suspension of civil rights?

  445. 1… 2… 3… BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    *gives delegates a treat*

  446. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 10:57 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    How dare Barack Obama want to enforce the Constitution. I’m voting Republican.

  447. barren earth says at 10:57 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Damn Obama for wanting to follow the Constitution!

  448. PolicyWhore says at 10:57 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Did she really just make fun of the Constitution?!?

  449. yeah lets torture those dirty A-rabs!! *wild cheering*

  450. In profile her hair is doing a tribute to the designs of H.R. Giger

  451. Gopherit v2.0 says at 10:58 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Yup. Lock up the brown people, bitches!

  452. Hey, she pronounced ‘nuclear’ correctly!

  453. SayItWithWookies says at 10:58 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Sarah pretends she knows what’s going on outside America/Alaska. Way to read those sentences, Ms. Palin.

  454. Fuck the Bill of Rights! Yaaaaaaaaaay!

  455. NoWireHangers says at 10:58 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    LIES ALL LIES!

  456. angryhippopotamus says at 10:58 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    I shit you not this is what the transcript looks like: “Terrorist states are seeking new-clear weapons without delay … he wants to meet them without preconditions.”
    http://thepage.time.com/prepared-remarks-for-gov-sarah-palins-convention-speech/

  457. AngryBlakGuy: Roberta McCain isn’t the only one.

  458. mitch_philbin says at 10:58 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    If there was any doubt that McCain is a bedrock, right-wing conservative, Sarah has laid that to rest.

  459. TRUE, not RUE..
    my bad…..

  460. loudmouthredhead says at 10:58 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    stew: It appeals to their barely-graduated-high-school sensibilities.

  461. SkimLatteModerate says at 10:58 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    hockeymom: Oh, it’s painful.

    So yeah, the talking heads will love it.

    I’m already resigned to McCain pulling this out. And then the cancer eating his face within his first month of office. And then Bristol’s kid becomes president.

  462. The 3-Legged Man says at 10:58 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Those fuckers want to tax the very crap in your bowels!

  463. You know, I really did start to like Palin there for a while, but I think I’ll remember this night for being the point when, given the chance to show itself to be better than Bush, the Republican party chose to officially endorse the position of denying human rights to detainees.

  464. NoWireHangers: And if these assclowns are still running the EPA and the FDA with all the industry input that we need to stay “competitive” and no margin for safety, kids with special needs will become the norm.

  465. NoWireHangers says at 10:59 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    BARRY ISN’T RAISING TAXES UNLESS YOU’RE LOADED. LIES! LIES! LIES!

    I can’t take this.

  466. AngryBlakGuy says at 10:59 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    …her accent is fukkin terrible!

  467. Viva la Cynthia says at 10:59 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    The guy MSNBC just flashed on the screen was the saddest person in an oversized, foam Uncle Sam hat I’ve ever seen.

    :(

  468. HarrietB. says at 10:59 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Her accent makes me want to boil kittens.

  469. Buffy and Hildegard says at 10:59 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    What is it about the voice– deviated septum or something? Does anyone know? It’s making my ears bleeeeeeeeeeed.

  470. CivicHoliday says at 10:59 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    TAX TAX TAX TAX TAX TAX. Boo.

  471. I’m sorry, but is there such a thing as clean coal? Or is that just the new black?

  472. Heather opened a “service” station. Wink wink.

  473. The 3-Legged Man says at 10:59 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Yes! We need no taxes at all! We can do everything for free! Those tax and spend effers hate YOU because you’re an American! They want this country to speak Irani!

  474. Hey look, it’s Bush in a skirt

  475. This woman is a bitch. Hopey just got another $50.

  476. Viva la Cynthia says at 11:00 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    loudmouthredhead: There sure is some drilling going on in Alaska… HOT.

  477. chascates says at 11:00 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Isn’t there something about taxes actually being used to pay for, say, goods & services? Like, even, the War on Terror & Badness?

  478. Cindy has a penchant for pukey colors.

  479. Ilikepigeons says at 11:00 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Shame on those do nothing community organizers!!!!!

    Hey, was Jesus one of those??????

  480. A mindless blizzard of generalities and semi-truths.

  481. professor.cj says at 11:00 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Maybe you’re trying to keep your job in a swing state, LOL. Nice touch. Was this written by a seventh grader in a civics class doing a report on election politics?

  482. In other news of dissembling crap, Peggy Noonan has a long and not super coherent “I didn’t really mean that thing I said” at OpinionJournal.

  483. SayItWithWookies says at 11:00 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    “How are they gonna be better off if their taxes go up?”
    Honey, my taxes didn’t go down during the tax cut. They won’t go up when the tax cut dies.

  484. dumbfounded says at 11:00 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    catdance: God dont like ugly.

    ….Arrogant bastards

  485. dontmeanship says at 11:00 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Liar, hypocrite, personal attacks. Yup, she’s qualified to be a republican.

  486. So… is she from Alaska or from Wisconsin? I can’t understand her damned accent.

  487. Delicious says at 11:00 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Oooh, dissing the Obama seal. No you didn’t!

  488. She’s a snarky biatch.

  489. Palinator says at 11:00 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Will the Palin family manage to go the full 40min without having unprotected sex?

  490. i know the names of SWING STATES! *applause*

  491. mitch_philbin says at 11:00 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    “The pin is a “Gold Star” Pin.” Thanks Texas2Step, I couldn’t make it out. :)

  492. ExBeautyQueen says at 11:00 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Iceberg! Iceberg! My mother stole my baby!

  493. THERE ARE NO SMALL FARMS

  494. This is incomprehensible.
    What if you use pain to promote your career?

  495. grevillea says at 11:00 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Maybe your sister can drill her own oil? Or scrunch up some clean coal in the blender?

  496. Viva la Cynthia says at 11:01 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Buffy and Hildegard: At least she’s keeping the volume down–my left eardrum exploded because of her voice at the speech last Friday.

  497. Atoz: No, you’re right. I think that “security moms” will love her. And men. She’s hot and tough talkin’.

    I hate her so much. She isn’t saying anything at all. People love that.

  498. NoWireHangers says at 11:01 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    They’re really trying to dredge up every minor, tiny Obama scandal from 3 months ago, when the ONLY scandal in this country is the Elephant in the room (heh), bitch, and that’s the bastard grandchild baking in your daughter’s womb of sin due to your trumpeting of abstinence only education

  499. barren earth says at 11:01 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    lobbyist fought McCain?..hell, they all work for him.

  500. loudmouthredhead says at 11:01 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    She says “day” like “dhey”

  501. Gopherit v2.0 says at 11:01 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Nice. Let’s lie to the american people and say we never, ever, have to raise money to pay down the deficit.

    My kingdom for a sea of paultards.

    One thing….they opened the rude, angry rhetoric. Thanks for galvanizing the Dem base tonight, Sarah.

    Lobbyists. Yeah, you and Maverick have never met with them. Liar. Cunt. Whore.

  502. The 3-Legged Man says at 11:01 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    So, she stopped the nuke-you-lur and now it’s nukeleer?

  503. simetrias says at 11:01 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Oooooo, isn’t afraid of a fight! Macho rules! Smackdown@!

  504. DieOnTheTurnpike says at 11:01 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    angryhippopotamus: Jumping jesus on a pogo stick!

  505. Rodney Badger says at 11:01 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    Next time one of those fat fucks from the midwest ask me for directions to Fisherman’s Wharf after they stumble off a cable car, I am going to send them to Hunters Point.

  506. Rudy’s Microphone Wiper-Downer: Proposed Constitutional amendment: You’re not allowed to get close to controlling the red button if you’re not smart enough to pronounce nuclear.

  507. angryhippopotamus: That’s fucking incredible. Good eye.

  508. SayItWithWookies says at 11:02 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    “Senator McCain’s record of achievement and actual reform…”
    Uh — what? Like the torture bill?

  509. NoWireHangers says at 11:02 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    YES. The Right man to LOSE.

  510. Maurice Levy says at 11:02 pm, September 3rd, 2008

    So much hate in that building… the speech is playing right to it.
