    Great marketing and good timing on that, considering the job market…!?

  4. magic titty says at 4:29 pm, September 9th, 2008

    I have gone on record (in the form of my informed & bitter political writings) that this was a mere Craigslist, Random Encounters situacion.
    You know she was down with the barebackness of it all too.

  5. SayItWithWookies says at 4:31 pm, September 9th, 2008

    Unfortunately it still takes the DailyKos community two days to vet a hire, mostly because there are so many porn sites and sex tapes to look through.

  6. What about book burning and moose hunting accuracy? What has happened to our standards as a nation?

  7. NotLaughing says at 4:31 pm, September 9th, 2008

    freakishlystrong: I hear ya there!

  8. Serolf Divad says at 4:35 pm, September 9th, 2008

    John McCain didn’t hire Palin. She hired him, even though he doesn’t realize it. The hiring process involved a prayer session, some speaking in tongues and a little snake handling. The members of Palin’s church had just wrapped up the Lord’s Prayer (a musical version, sung to the tune of Carl Orff’s “Oh Fortuna, Imperatirx Mundi”) when Palin’s cell phone rang. It was John. The rest is history.

  9. Where’s the ATV report??!!

  10. obfuscator says at 4:38 pm, September 9th, 2008

    Serolf Divad: Does “little” describe the snake or the amount of handling?

  11. Serolf Divad: It’s the snake handling that got her vetted.

  12. freakishlystrong says at 4:39 pm, September 9th, 2008

    Oh, and the mean, sexist media had to vet Baked Alaska, the WALNUTS! campaign just looked at the hormone level…

  13. shortsshortsshorts says at 4:39 pm, September 9th, 2008

    SAME DAY abortions would be just fine for Alaska.

  14. irisheyes says at 4:39 pm, September 9th, 2008

    Side note: politico has an interesting article asking people what they would ask Palin. Some of the questions are pandering, but many of them are quite intelligent and legitimate questions. The whole thing made me smile, as I think of her trying to answer any of these and sound like she has a clue. I have been worried, but I think when those coveted independents catch the 10/2 debate, their eyes will be opened to how incredibly unprepared this person is to sit in the VP’s spot. Hope lives on.

  15. freakishlystrong says at 4:44 pm, September 9th, 2008

    irisheyes: Oh, how I want to believe, but these things are REPUBLICANS..

  16. irisheyes: Dream on. She’ll be coached to respond with platitudes and generalities and do it in a folksy way. She won’t say anything we couldn’t have read off a Republican playbook, but she’ll be lauded as having held her own with big bad Joe Biden. You won’t see any gotchas unless the candidates are allowed to ask each other questions.

  17. AnnieGetYourFun says at 4:46 pm, September 9th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: Oh, wow. Win.

  18. Texan Bulldoggette says at 4:48 pm, September 9th, 2008

    irisheyes: Sorry, I’m not so optimistic. For one, none of the media seems to care that she continues to lie about that stupid bridge (even when there’s photographic evidence) or on her earmark obsession. Two, by the time Oct. gets here, the narrative will be she is ‘everymom’ & you shouldn’t be mean to her & she has been the biggest victim of sexism EVAH. How dare you ask her about an issue; that’s sexism! She’ll have won the debate just by showing up. If Joe Biden even looks at her, the media will be screaming ‘Mean Joe, Mean Joe’. The media can write the article today & just print it on Oct. 3.

    My only consolation is that Gwen Ifil will be the moderator & she won’t give a shit about pouty lips, cleavage or ‘everymom’ crap. However, I remember some of her softball Cheney/Edwards debate questions, so I remain hopelessly pessimistic at this point.

  19. Since Palin wants the baby belugs and polar bear babies DEAD and since Sarah Palin believes whe knows the will of God, I would ask Sarah Palin this: Does God want the baby beluga whales and polar bear cubs dead?

  20. I, for one, welcome our new instantly-vetted overlord.

  21. KittyKatMan says at 4:55 pm, September 9th, 2008

    grendel: Damn, you’re bumming me out. You’re right.
    I’m rationalizing this his whole thing already. Palin/McCain will be a four year lame duck presidency with Dems in both senate and the house, and the snowbillies will be a treasure trove of comedy for Maher, Stewart,etc…..? :) :| :( :((

  22. NotLaughing says at 4:56 pm, September 9th, 2008

    God has been mad at whales since the whole Jonah thing.

    That’s why there aren’t very many anymore.

  23. Q2: Obviously the answer is yes, or the Earth wouldn’t be warming up and destroying their habitat.

  24. WhatTheHeck says at 4:57 pm, September 9th, 2008

    Serolf Divad:
    So much so, that the difference between a vice presnit and a presnit is a heart attack.

  25. freakishlystrong says at 4:57 pm, September 9th, 2008

    Texan Bulldoggette: Nail in the coffin, I’m getting so depressed, aren’t we supposed to be funny?

  26. freppish says at 4:57 pm, September 9th, 2008

    i wonder if McCain checked palins daughters facebook pages for pictures of underaged drinking

  27. crunchymunchy says at 4:58 pm, September 9th, 2008

    Please don’t reward this terrible pick with the most powerful position in the free world. Please.

    McCain’s VP selection process: http://tinyurl.com/5zr47h

  28. freakishlystrong: We can still be funny. It’s called ‘gallows humor’ or somesuch.

  29. KittyKatMan: And I’ll be laughing at you from socialist Europe

  30. KittyKatMan says at 5:00 pm, September 9th, 2008

    Will Palin get a blanky and hot yummy moose milk at her debates??
    AP Kept Off Palin Plane: All Press Off The Record

    You know, we’re up against the stupids who don’t see this ploy. The idjit bitters who believe these lies.

  31. KittyKatMan says at 5:02 pm, September 9th, 2008

    grendel: Damn you !!! Damn you to hell!!! ;)

  32. NotLaughing says at 5:02 pm, September 9th, 2008

    This isn’t just a lame duck.

    This duck is on crutches and god knows what else.

  33. Texan Bulldoggette says at 5:03 pm, September 9th, 2008

    freakishlystrong: Sorry, I’ll try to be appropriately snarky. But it’s easier to be funny, sarcastic, snarky when you’re a) drunk or b) under the delusion that America is not completely full of dumb asses. (Walnuts is buying ad time during daytime soaps, so I guess that ruins thought b.)

  34. Cogito Ergo Bibo says at 5:03 pm, September 9th, 2008

    KittyKatMan: I thought Palin put the plane on eBay, along with Bristol’s promise ring.

  35. grendel: I bet there’s not much laughing in the Foreign Legion. Well, only when it hurts, which is an S&M switch of some sort. Viva la France!

  36. KittyKatMan: I can’t believe no MSM went with Palin’s quote about how Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac were getting too big and costing the taxpayers too much money… Instant dequalification (and decapitation) in a rational world.

  37. Gopherit v2.0 says at 5:04 pm, September 9th, 2008

    grendel: Nah. If she and McCain win, you’ll be just another bit of carbonized jetsam on the cratered content we once knew as Europe.

  38. TGY: Ahahaha! But I won’t be in the foreign legion… just kicking back drinking socialist European wine and trying to learn how to say “fuck you” in my new adopted tongue!

  39. freakishlystrong says at 5:05 pm, September 9th, 2008

    TGY: Thank you, first gen-u-ine laff I’ve had all day, fer realz…

  40. KittyKatMan says at 5:05 pm, September 9th, 2008

    I may just turn Paultard. Then I’d hate both sides. At least I’d be happy.

  41. Cogito Ergo Bibo: She sold Bristol’s virginity on Craiglist… Levi had an extra $20 kicking around

  42. Gopherit v2.0: Good point… maybe I should make it Brasil… You’re all invited for Carnival

  43. Texan Bulldoggette says at 5:08 pm, September 9th, 2008

    Cogito Ergo Bibo: Don’t you mean the ring that she exchanged with Mack Daddy Todd at the purity ball?

  44. Cogito Ergo Bibo says at 5:09 pm, September 9th, 2008

    OMG. VP’s are not meant to wear ponytails! Gah, woman! Get thee to a stylist, stat!!!!

  45. freakishlystrong says at 5:11 pm, September 9th, 2008

    Texan Bulldoggette: Then we need to start drinkin’ everytime we hear the
    word(s) “maverick”, or everytime we come across a dumbass just knowck em’ out with a 2X4, it’s the least we can do..(my poor teevee)..

  46. YellowSnow says at 5:12 pm, September 9th, 2008

    300 million crimial records? How many people are in America, and what does George W have on ALL OF US?

  47. YellowSnow says at 5:13 pm, September 9th, 2008

    Ohh, sorry, the Johnny Black is kicking in. chalk that up to 300million+1 criminal records

  48. InsidiousTuna says at 5:13 pm, September 9th, 2008

    WhatTheHeck: The difference is 50 SPF.

  49. liquiddaddy says at 5:16 pm, September 9th, 2008

    One can hire a woman like Palin silently with a 20 in one hand and a point to the crotch with the other. No interview or vetting required.

  50. rev_matt_y says at 5:18 pm, September 9th, 2008

    SayItWithWookies: I’m confused. Are they reviewing to confirm that the applicant was actually in the porn industry?

  51. wealwaysknow says at 5:19 pm, September 9th, 2008
  52. Texan Bulldoggette says at 5:19 pm, September 9th, 2008

    freakishlystrong: Actually the best thing to do is avoid Drudge & most political web sites. Take a break, enjoy football season, realize that we survived 8 years of Bush, we can survive 4 years of Walnuts & the Arctic Princess. (Plus I imagine the Senate will have a majority, so how much damage can the dynamic duo do?) I know I’m going to regret typing that last question….

  53. Texan Bulldoggette says at 5:22 pm, September 9th, 2008

    Texan Bulldoggette: Ooops the Senate will have a Democratic majority.

  54. Texan Bulldoggette: We’re weakened now after 8 years… easier prey…

  55. btwbfdimho says at 5:27 pm, September 9th, 2008

    Wait for the first VP debate to see a same-day firing.

  56. InsidiousTuna says at 5:28 pm, September 9th, 2008

    wealwaysknow: Nice. I’m sending that shit everywhere.

  57. shortsshortsshorts says at 5:30 pm, September 9th, 2008

    TGY: Holy shit, you’re right. The Euros don’t laugh, they just manufacture the funny.

  58. freakishlystrong says at 5:47 pm, September 9th, 2008

    Texan Bulldoggette: They can do gobs of damage..and you’re right about football, ‘cept my team SUCKS!

  59. S. Cullen Bonz says at 7:03 pm, September 9th, 2008

    She sounds like Trudi Weigold on Reno 911.

  60. elitistpigbull says at 9:02 pm, September 9th, 2008

    My favorite interview question: will you be able to answer the phone at 3 am or will you be covered in blood and strangling yourself with moose entrails?

  61. jasonelias says at 10:13 pm, September 9th, 2008

    Would you believe she came from Manpower?

  62. The 3-Legged Man says at 10:21 pm, September 9th, 2008

    The Republicans said they will wait until October to start profiling internet forum posters for later reprisals. Just in case they jump the gun, I thought I should repeat, for like the 1,000th time, my complete support for Pres-to-be Palin and that old dude.

  63. skyinator says at 2:29 am, September 10th, 2008

    But can she type? Haras Nilap for Eciv Tnediserp!

  64. villageatrois says at 4:28 am, September 10th, 2008

    Mc 5.5 shoulda vetted her with IRS. It might not be against Alaskan law to bill the state per diem for staying home, but IRS has compendious case law about allowable business deductions, and things like business use of a home. If there was income without expense, it should have been reported and taxed. If there were legitimate business expenses, they have to meet certain tests. I understand that none of the procedures are faith-based.
