- LOOKING OUT FOR FELLOW FEMINISTS: Sarah Palin sez: “I think he’s regretting not picking [Hillary Clinton] now, I do. What, what determination, and grit, and even grace through some tough shots that were fired her way — she handled those well.” What a shame, indeed, that a relentless idiot like Sarah Palin now has to carpetbag her way into all that political capital Hillary Clinton built for herself. [ABC News]
She is SOOO nice. See? Now she is giving advice to Barack Obama! What a cute little demon hell spawn.
Somewhere in America a thousand PUMA vaginas scream at once in unholy rage.
Sarah Palin is to feminism as lipstick is to pig. Oh, wait…
Sarah Palin, a Carpetbagger? What would Rhett and Scarlett have to say about that–they’d have to choose between a Carpetbagger and a free black.
Obama made the best decision in picking Biden since the old Senators traded away half their team to get Denny (oooh, my arm is sore) McLain. I think I hear Hillary cackling in her house.
tunamelt: Sophie’s Choice.
Governor Glasses is trying to get both the wacky fundamentalist vote, and the Hillary vote.
I know Obama’s not a great bowler, but I don’t think she’s good enough to pick up this 7-10 split, either.
“Whining” = “grit, determination, and grace.”
tunamelt: Mammy/Belle Watling in 08!
Political Addict: Palin v Clinton in 2012 is going to be hilarious. Too bad I will be dead from alcohol poisoning and won’t enjoy it in the slightest.
What a shitbird. I was about to say that the American people are way to smart to fall for this cynical hypocritical crap, but then I sighed and decided to get extremely drunk instead.
Hey, remember that time when Hillary was trying to get the Michigan and Florida delegates seated in spite of the fact that she’d previously said they shouldn’t be when it wasn’t politically expedient for her, and how every decent person reviled and despised her and wanted to never have to see her pandering face or that of her legacy-destroying husband ever again?
That time shall henceforth be known as The Good Old Days.
Whiskeybaby: A woman needs a man like Sarah Palin needs fertility treatments may be what you were going for.
obfuscator: “too smart”, jackass.
tunamelt: 2012? Please. President Palin will End-Times us before then, courtesy of good ol’ Russian ICBMs.
Stinkyfish/Pig 08!!
Man, Glasses! Doesn’t even deserve to MENTION Hillz. Hillary could win in the debate equivalent of a knife-fight. Glasses! got owned by CHARLIE GIBSON.
I mean, really. Those were 4th grade questions and she BOMBED.
sanantonerose: The White House could become a more efficiently run whore house.
Bad move Sarah. Your cynical invocation of the Name of Hillary will end in tears.
Strictly for the Tardcore: Shut the fuck up hippie. Sarah is going to end the Cold War the right way; with full-scale conventional warfare culminating in nuclear holocaust. Love it or leave it, stoner.
tunamelt: ftfuckingw
I remember the days when Conservative women stayed home and let the Real Women do things like run for political office. They’ll be wanting something else unimaginable next.
Whiskeybaby: Yes, Hillary seems quaint and folksy now. Sort of like that lame friend of your moms, not like that crazy woman throwing bibles at you.
Check the highlight out; Palin’s got obsfucation down pat. Should have her glamourpuss pasted on this page:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=obsfucation
LittlePig: You really think so? WalNUTS! and Glasses! start putting on their cowboy hats (or parkas, whichever) and start big talking to Russia, the Rooskies and Iran both only start taking Euros and China calls in our debt. World War III averted, and we all just got brand new jobs at McTrotsky’s.
Vote Obama — because Russian is a really hard language to learn!
Strictly for the Tardcore: But people will still think she did well, and she’s a hard-workin’ hockey mom, and… and… she loves Jeebus! And every tard ever will vote for her and she will hide Jammakain’s sunscreen and she will become president by next May. And that’s why we can’t have nice things.
Rodney Badger: …you left out the part about the rapture.
Hahahahaha Way to endear yerseff to the base Hahahahahaha
She’s accomplished for me in two weeks what it took Hills about 6 months to accomplish. I detest the sound of her voice, whenever she comes on the teevee I mute her or turn the channel because I hate her with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns (from Diane to Sam on Cheers but accurate here).
Rodney Badger: I don’t trust a doddering, rambling, nonsensical country yokel who can’t even SPELL “Bush Doctrine” to even enact a thermonuclear conflagration properly. Or Palin, either.
obfuscator: oh shit. No offense meant.
I think John McCain is regretting not locking this nearsighted fuckwit in a basement somewhere and just campaigning with a cardboard cut-out of her, I do.
How would electing a no-talent idiot like Palin shattering the GLASS CEILING ?
InsidiousTuna: Sure. She did fine for a Hockey Mom……and looked like a clueless turn for a VP candidate.
bitchincamaro: Is this better?
Obama should come out and endorse Romney for Republican VP nominee. “This grand, flat-chested, mormon, who never wore detectable make up, who no one would ever confuse for a pig, gee willy wonkers I like this man so much it is gay.”
How can Moose’s Doubtfire even bring up Hillary’s name with a straight face? What a shameless, brazen, and ignorant fence post.
Strictly for the Tardcore: Thermonuclear conflagration has a high margin of error. Trig Palin could pull it off.
With the Sith, there are always only two: the master who holds the power of the Dark Side, and the apprentice who craves it. Now that Darth Hillary has been overthrown, Darth Barbie rises. Sssshhhhh…hawwwwwww.
That is obviously a fake quotation. The word “Charlie” doesn’t appear in it once.
She said all that? Well, damn, thank god Hillary went on national TV and made that big speech in which she specifically called out Palin and said they have nothing in common and how any woman who cares about issues like equal pay, abortion, health care, and education has no business voting for this woman.
Oh, right I forgot–SHE DIDN’T SAY JACK SHIT ABOUT PALIN! Jesus Fucking Christ, Hills, this outright fraud from the sticks of Methy McMethville in Alaska is essentially calling herself your heir(ess) and voters are buying it, and you are saying NOTHING.
Yeah, it’s ridiculous that Palin is saying this crap, but if it gets her votes, you can hardly expect her to not try. So I’m less pissed at her, and more pissed at Hillary who’s just turning the other cheek to this bullshit.
Isn’t it about time for her to be eaten by a bear?
bitchincamaro: None taken.
Tawmn: If we can’t keep “Moose Doubtfire” alive as a nickname for Palin, the terrorists win.
Rodney Badger: I agree with you whole-heartedly, which should tell you how little faith I have have in WalNUTS!/Glasses! ‘08 to do that, or anything else, right.
sanantonerose: I would vote for that ticket any day.
Oh great, what’s next? Is Sarah going to celebrate Women’s Equality Day, invoke the Seneca Falls Convention, and thank feminists such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton while working with McCain to destroy modern-day women’s rights?
oh. wait.
Can we make it a bullet proof glass ceiling?
Chumley: Yes! I thought it was just me that found that incredibly annoying. It’s a bit like she was auditioning for Charlie’s Angels. She, Chumley, was obviously told, Chumley, that it’s a good way, Chumley, to ingratiate yourself, Chumley, with a person, Chumley, by using their name, Chumley. Unfortuantely for her, the world ain’t called Charlie.
Texan Bulldoggette: I’m right there with you. Mute the lies. I never thought there would be a day when Hillary’s voice seemed like dulcet tones… but then came the Tundra Twat.
“yes charlie, i think the fact that mccain picked me as a token is keeping barry awake at night; i mean hillary must be calling his ass every every 5 seconds asking ‘WHY? WHY DIDN”T YOU PICK ME?’.”
Secret thought: isn’t it just possible that all those women, those “I should stay home barefoot and pregnant” women, those “Dan Quayle was right about Murphy Brown” women, secretly hate the tits off of Sarah Palin? Or are they so mindlessly mindless that they’ll vote for whatever woman hubby tells them to?
Strictly for the Tardcore: They weren’t quite fourth grade questions, but close enough. I mean, who of us couldn’t spout off the appropriate responses from either D-crat or Re-pub camps???
BTW: I have always loved your screen name.
Texan Bulldoggette: When I read anything Palin says, it’s always in her accent in my brain. It’s like nails, chalkboard, etc.
I would LOVE to hear Canmon’s take on this. Alas, this is the one time he/she/it won’t post.
She’s such a “mean girl.” Tina Fey, where are you? And her quote: “even grace.” Hw, well, gracious of her to say this.
This is so infuriating–a feminist who charges for rape-kits!
Anyone watchng this? It took Charlie three times to get her to give him 3 ways she’d create different policies of Bush in the economy.
StupidGeek: Same thing here. I think she eats a box of nails every morning.
StupidGeek: Her accent has already gotten on my last nerve. It’s a combination of Fargo & Gladys Crabbitz(?) on Bewitched. Can you imagine that voice in the throes of passion…’Oh Tawd, Tawd…” Yikes!
Vanity Smurf: Hee hee…
Oh, right. Doesn’t matter at aaaaaall that you were for the bridge to nowhere so long as if you were against it in the end.
“Well, I was wrong about declaring war against Russia. But I’m right now! Sorry ’bout those nukular baaambs.”
I’m falling in love with Barry again. In response to McCain’s attack on The View of Obama’s lipstick attack, his campaign said the following:
Today on “The View,” John McCain defended his campaign’s latest ad campaign, which has been debunked repeatedly as both false and sleazy. In running the sleaziest campaign since South Carolina in 2000 and standing by completely debunked lies on national television, it’s clear that John McCain would rather lose his integrity than lose an election.
Swoon. I have a mancrush again.
Gopherit v2.0: Ohhh…. oh that is hawt stuff. Good boy Barry.
Transcript of Sarah’s drunken ravings on the economy and the bridge to nowhere, as babbled to Charlie Gibson: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Vote2008/story?id=5789483&page=1
that’s just a smarmy, smart-alec statement. she is enjoying this (she’s good! - and should not be underestimated). the longer she and the Republican campaign can draw this out, the less time there is to look at the substance of the what they have to offer. she’s doing what she is supposed to do. Barry, Biden and even Hillary have to handle this carefully, or it becomes even crazier. Will have to see what the Sunday talk shows do. Suggest everyone go and have a beer.
Gopherit v2.0: Well, when Walnuts was a young man, he’d have slapped Hopey in the face with a glove & demanded a duel at dawn. Now he’ll have to respond by putting out an ad that says Hopey rapes senior citizen women while they sleep in their beds at the nursing home.
Dave J.: Hillary needs to get on Palin like Ripley got on the Alien in Aliens, hopefully saying “Get away from Hopey, you *bitch!*” while doing so
Gopherit v2.0: That is definitely the Barry I know and love!
UGH! “I have never tried to ban a book.” Sigh. Why do I even expect truth or candor anymore. Book-banning to be covered on 20/20 tonight.
Gopherit v2.0: Ha, that’s nice. Just seen this on Auntie Beeb - Tawd will have to testify on Troopergate. That should be nicely distracting for a day-or-two’s news, even if he doesn’t say anything interesting.
Dave J.: Isn’t it up to the VP pick to take on the other VP pick? Let Biden handle it. If Obama wanted Hillary to go after the othe VP candidate he should have picked her, which is kind of the point that Palin makes.
Gopherit v2.0: I’m the wrong person to give my opinion on Palin. I defected to McCain long before he picked her. If McCain had the same views that Palin seems to have, I’d be with you in the Obama camp.
Maybe it’s time to change my avatar so I don’t become the go to Hillary commenter.
Texan Bulldoggette: He couldn’t shoot him anyway. His arms go only so high, you know.
Oh, look! FAUX News is trying to bail out Caribou Barbie after she crashed-and-burned with Charlie Gibson. FAUX is claiming that ABC “misrepresented” her quote about the Iraq war being “a task from God”:
http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/09/12/abc-edits-out-palin-objection-to-holy-war-question/
FAUX is also trying to rehabilitate Walnuts after the bitch-slapping he received on “The View”. Good luck on that.
This whole “McCain is worthy of my insults” vibe is making my imaginary vagina all sour.
In response to the general issue of Palin’s veracity, my husband came up with the following last night:
Sarah Palin = Ah, SPAN liar!
Sarah Louise Heath Palin = Oh, ain’t she a liar! Help USA
And if that doesn’t make you laugh out loud, imagine Stewart’s mom on Mad TV every time you hear Sarah “Jesus Camp” Palin speak. I guarantee it’ll take the edge off.
Canmon (the Inadequate): If you were for Hillary in the primaries, how can you….oh nevermind.
Every “undecided” lipstick-wearing fake-Hilary-loving pig in this godforsaken country who watches Palin will focus strictly on the praise of Hilary, the “we’re sisters under the skin” routine….
Face it: if you’re undecided at this point in the campaign, you’re voting for the cunt. You just haven’t admitted it yet.
Only glimmer of hope: The Alaska legislature’s investigator recommends impeachment of Palin.
Okay, I lied. There’s no glimmer.
You can put a tiara on a pig, it doesn’t make it Miss Alaska.
madirishman: Oh that wouldn’t be like when they took out the word “really” from Mrs. Hopey’s ‘proud to be an American’ line would it? Editing a quote to make it sound worse than it is–that is atrocious, when it’s done to their guy! ha …. losers.
Mara47: you might wanna take your satanic word voodoo some place else, I might want to bloodfart on her face, but that doesn’t mean I’m not a righteous smurf-fearin christian.
facehead: A douche might help with that.
Canmon (the Inadequate): And when McCain dies on inauguration day, i’m sure you won’t have any buyer’s remorse.
Let go of teh Bitters.
Cogito Ergo Bibo: My highlight:
“Government has got to get out of the way … of the private sector” and
“We have got to make sure that we reform the oversight, of the agencies”.
So, Government has to leave the private sector alone, but also increase the oversight of the private sector.
iwillsavethispatient: You’re British. Shouldn’t you be heaping scorn upon us for the miserable bastards we have as fellow Citizens?
Canmon (the Inadequate): Hillary and John McCain have nothing in common policy-wise or in terms of basic human values.
The only thing it seems that they have in common is the color of their skin.
…oh, right.
Dave J.: You are correct sir. The other big, big quiet is Hilz saying her Bitterz spell. She could say a very simple thing”
“No real woman would vote for this bimbo. Period”
Gopherit v2.0: Probably… but I live in Seattle, so I’d be an ungracious guest if I started that whole thing. Anyway, the locals here do a fine job of saying it instead.
Gopherit v2.0: Hey, now, be nice to our Euro friends! Not telling which country will receive the bulk of the Wonketteers when we all head to greener pastures on Nov. 5.
Dammit. “No telling.” “Not telling” is what Barbie does.
I must need another drink.
iwillsavethispatient: Touche’.
Cogito Ergo Bibo: I love our Euro friends! If I had their moral high ground, I’d be flinging feces here two-handed.
Cogito Ergo Bibo: We should start taking a poll.
GIBSON: But you didn’t say no to Congress, well build it ourselves until after they pulled the plug. Correct?
PALIN: No, because Congress still allowed those dollars to come into Alaska. They did.
GIBSON: Well, but…
PALIN: Transportation fund dollars still came into Alaska. It was our choice, Charlie, whether we were going to spend it on a bridge or not. And I said, thanks, but no thanks. We’re not going to spend it on the bridge.
Well, at least he got her to admit they kept the money. Which, really, isn’t that almost worse?
“We want a bridge.”
“Here’s your money!”
“Uh oh. Not terribly popular this bridge. Never mind.”
“Can we have our money back? It was for the bridge.”
“Hell no! Mama needs a new pair of mukluks!”
Response from Rep. Wasserman Schultz, a former Clinton supporter: “Sarah Palin should spare us the phony sentiment and respect.”
I wasn’t too fond of DWS (mainly because of the 3-name thingy) during the primaries, but she’s stepped up to the plate for Barry. She don’t take any crap; her & Wexler are fiery Floridians. It’s too bad their constituents are 100 year old Jewish ladies that can’t read & will probably manage to vote for Pat Buchanan again this year.
tunamelt: Last I heard, there were a lot of votes for Spain. Alcohol is cheap. Party life is good. Gay marriage is legal, for those Wonketteers who swing that way. Pretty sure they have universal healthcare, too.
Gopherit v2.0: Isn’t that how shorts got banned? Just kidding!
Cogito Ergo Bibo: My Spanish is horrible, but you sold me with “alcohol is cheap.”
tunamelt: All you need to know is
Whiskey
Vodka
Cerveza
Gin
Scotch
Sexo
There. You are now fluent in the only things that matter.
Cogito Ergo Bibo: hey, hermano! i’m already practicing. piso mojado, inserte su tarjeta, lavese las manos.
tunamelt: Eeeeeverybody speaks English there. Or at least, enough English. Besides, when they’re drunk, everyone sounds alike, anyway.
Cogito Ergo Bibo: When talk about universal healthcare, if the country is not dirt poor and not America, you don’t need to say “pretty sure”.
shortsshortsshorts: Don’t forget ‘fria cerveza’ & ‘bano’ (cold beer & bathroom).
OK, Sarah’s a feminist.
A feminist who wants to deprive OTHER women of their right to choose, even if they are raped. A feminist who wants to charge the raped for rape kits so that poorer victims cannot even prove they’ve been raped.
Where was I when they changed the definition of “feminist?”
Because Gloria Steinem would tear this woman’s head off with her bare hands and ovulate down her neck.
And, on behalf of my daughters, I would be privileged and honoured to help.
spontaneousabortion: Hey, I almost understood most of that! Oh, and I’m a chickypoo, not a dude. I think my “Arrested Development” classes in being bilingual taught me that “hermano” is brother. Am I right? Do I get a cookie?
The New York Times described Caribou Barbie’s interview with Charlie Gibson as “tense and probing”:
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/12/us/politics/12palin.html?_r=1&th&emc=th&oref=slogin
Does that mean he popped her cherry? Charlie, you stud!
spontaneousabortion: I must find this “hermano”…
Which wave of feminism would Governor Palin be classified under?
Cogito Ergo Bibo: Right, but (un?)fortunately I took the same classes as you, so I call everyone “hermano.” I certainly didn’t intend to call you a man. Does this mean you’re an hermana? Is that how it works? I better clear this up before November!
Landstander: Score! http://www.spanish-town-guides.com/Healthcare_Spain.htm
Foreign expatriates in Spain are entitled to free public healthcare as long as they contribute to the social security system, since anyone who signs up to pay social security is automatically registered as a member of the public healthcare system (family members are also entitled to healthcare by extension).
Additionally, Spain has agreements in place with certain countries (such as the UK) that allows foreign pensioners to receive free access to public healthcare without having to participate in the workforce.
I’m marking my calendar.
The carpetbagger epithet is perfect (remember reconstruction!). Personnally, I HATE people like Ms. Palin. What a toady opportunist. All drive and no conscience. Just bad karma for America. Period.
Dave J.: BRAVO!
And Hillary never said anything about sexism, either, except for complaining about it after the fact.
Now the McCain camp is complaining about sexism ‘before’ the fact, and still nothing from Hillary.
She still has some time. But, lets see some fighting for women about now/soon from HILLARY.
Yeah, I am calling her out!
Still waiting for your great speech on sexism in America, since Palin has given you the incentive!!!
You SHOULD be fired up for womens rights now, yes or no?
You said you would fight for us.
madirishman: Well ya knooo, Alaskan’s don’t ask eachother much else ‘den “how ya doin der?”
obfuscator: Well John McCain was obviously around for, and a part of, the first wave. So maybe we should ask him.
Cogito Ergo Bibo: Now all we need to know is “Doctor, I think I have alcohol poisoning” in Spanish. Although, the Doctor would probably guess that for me, from my English accent.
ccatt: Though I really hate these guys, The Young Turks have the on the Rape Kit story. It’s a lot deeper than I thought.
iwillsavethispatient: doctor, soy muy, muy borrocho.
We need someone to pull a Lloyd Bentsen on Mooselini:
“…..and YOU, madam, are no Hillary Clinton…”
spontaneousabortion: Good question. “Hermana” sounds right, but don’t listen to me. I took Latin. Nobody cares how you pronounce it because everyone who speaks it is dead.
iwillsavethispatient: “Tengo la intoxicación etílica.” Thank you, Google Advanced Language Tools! I really should tattoo that somewhere on my body. I’ll never remember when the time comes.
Gopherit v2.0: Read that one. It is rather well done. Coupled with Biden writing the Violence Against Women Act and it really could be a decent ad.
spontaneousabortion: Maybe she’s some sort of secret undercover feminist double agent. Her assignment is to be SOOOO NOT a feminist that she terrifies undecided women into voting for Barry.
obfuscator: let’s stick with straightforward cunt.
Couple the Violence Against Women Act with the rape kit story with the “… and you, madam, are no Hillary Clinton!” line. Does that equal a VP debate win?
Isn’t there a forum on National Service tonight?
obfuscator: Quick, get on the horn with Joe Biden.
Canuckledragger: I think you are neglecting to give credit for the fact that her sidekick JMc does not believe women should be paid the same as men. It seems to me that would make many women say, Fuck it, then! and just stay home where they will be safer. So that’s considerate.
Cogito Ergo Bibo: So UK citizens get free healthcare in Spain without having to work? Sweet.
Oh, Sarah. Dear, stupid, Sarah. Do you honestly think WALNUTS! would have picked you if Barry picked Hillary? You’re noooooooooooo Hillary. There is no comparing between you and Hillary. It’s not even right to mention your name and Hillary’s name in the same sentence. You are a moron. You’re being used, Sweetie. And if the day ever comes (god help us all) when you find yourself in the Oval office, you still won’t be in charge. You’re the water girl of the GOP, and the sad thing is, you probably don’t even realize it.
Dave J.: Excellent point. It’s time for you to do something for your damn party, Hilary. Vacation’s over.
Did anyone know that the Funniest Celebrity in DC contest was this week? This guy from Politico wasn’t half bad.
ZippyD: I’d also like to see Gov. Palin’s opinion on employer insurance plans that cover boner pills but not birth control.
Her response would probably be “What is this… ‘birth control’ you speak of?”
Dave J.: All Hail the Queen of the Bitters!
tunamelt: All a European needs if they’re just visiting another European country, is a “European Health Insurance Card”. Or an E111 form, as we called it in my day. If they’re actually living in a different country, it is more complicated, apparently, but it can’t be more complicated than getting healthcare in the US when you have US health insurance!
Gopherit v2.0: The funniest celebrity is the clown who ruined our standing in the international community by dragging us into a meaningless war that killed…. grr!
Oh, you meant actually humorous.
I see that now.
**____**
nice to see the new non-sexist wonkette at work…
coughmethwhorecough…
obfuscator: Palin doesn’t believe you should have “Not tonight, I have a headache” covered by insurance. That’d be crazy!
spontaneousabortion: If I had a direct line to Biden, I’d advise him not to kiss the foreheads of people were born five days after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. Gross. I hope he put that disinfectant stuff on the lady’s head first.
Are we actually watching something or are we all just rambling inanely?
Gopherit v2.0: Now if he added, that “The View” should tell that skinny, blond, Barbie Doll of a whore to stop bashing my lovely wife.”, then I’d actually fall in love, instead of “I kinda like you, but you might break my heart.”
HomoPolitico: “Somewhere in America a thousand PUMA vaginas scream at once in unholy rage.”
1. “unholy self-righteous, lipstick-smearing, pitbull, nonporcine rage”.
2. Vaginas? You should have written “Vajingas”. Your are so banned. And I support that.
I’m catching up on Mad Men episodes and I caught this.
They just cut-off Rachel Maddow due to “technical problems” & will return with IKE.
tunamelt: Maybe they can do an ad for Obama. Can’t hurt.
tunamelt: amazing…i’m hoping my dreams aren’t too disturbed tonight…
Kennedy Kennedy, Kennedy Kennedy, Kennedy Kennedy, Kennedy Kennedy…
haunting..is the word…
tunamelt: The absence of reference is a reference of absence.
— Steve Schmidt (1610 - 1662)
LittlePhatGuise: Odd that. Because Maddow is in Rochester.
Right on a film about feminist Sarah Palin!
LittlePhatGuise: Hey, I’m watching Rachel on YouTube and her different hairstyles over the last two years. I think she should go back to her tomboy attire and butch haircut.
shortsshortsshorts: Plus she’s gutting a toy poodle ask she speaks. America’s Mom.
anabellum: The sixties were just weird.
NoWireHangers: Ezactly. Palin owes her pick to Biden. Hillary would have destroyed her. and she still can.
Hillary, we are waiting. Fake sexism against real sexism. Make your statement.
Or all you all talk and no action?
The moose just wanted to be friends…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G14Bbx5NAuk&feature=related
Well, once again I watched Nanookie attempt to put together a sentence, didn’t hear one, mindless drivel and lies. This is getting really, really scary.
Oh, and one more thing.
Hillary, in an ad for Hopey:
“I’m Hillary Clinton, and I believe in (insert rational, helpful policies for the American people in this time of economic distress at home and war overseas). And believe, me, Sarah Palin is no Hillary Clinton.”
The end.
tunamelt: Its AMAZING! They had TWO MINUTE commercials in the old days! I had to take an intermission part way through and get something to eat and drink.
UH oh…that song is still in my head…
Please excerpt superfluos (sp) comma. me grammar bad.
We all watching the Sarah Chronicles on 20/20 on ABC in like, 10 minutes or so (by the time this thing posts)? More evisceration via sweet Gibson questioning!
Tawmn: Outside of Keating and some recent Bush-pandering, I haven’t seen McCain do much that I vehemently disagree with over his career. I think most democrats would have said the same thing before this campaign. Remember, Kerry nearly made him his running-mate.
Anyway, I’ll get back to the snark before i get banned for too many boring posts.
Cogito Ergo Bibo: No, there’s a Metrolink crash here that I am pretty sure just preempted the regular broadcast. Yikes.

Canmon (the Inadequate): “Outside of Keating and some recent Bush-pandering…” Seriously dude/dudette, take this Obama tax cut plan calculator. What part of ‘more money for me’ do you hate? Every economist says that Obama will give you more money, unless you make more than $250,000 a year. And if you do, good for you & what the hell are you doing on Wonkette?

Why not Senator Elisabeth Dole?

sati demise: Wait until 2012. Yet, one might call my prior statement as “cynicism”. Not me. I can’t even spell the word synikel. Nope.
I am poised to see Hilz mount the stage of the 2012 DNC convention in her aluminum walker as Bill, in his motorized chair, tweaks the tender bottoms of female delegates.
Was that wrong of me to suggest? Just asking.
Canmon (the Inadequate): McCain has been a more-palatable-than-most politician, and actually was someone to cheer for in the 2000 campaign (remember the Star Wars music and he was Luke Skywalker?). But his veering to the right has been too transparent in satisfying his ambition to be president. He was the least stinky of the Keating Five and actually refused to do a lot of Keating’s bidding. He’s being a liar in this campaign, but so is Obama to a certain extent. That’s politics (and Obama has to learn it as well as McCain has).
But Hillary…sheesh. Her and Bill will do anything and say anything to return to power, which they did the first time around and why I was really disgusted with Bill for most of his presidency (for Don’t Ask Don’t Tell and the abandonment of Sarajevo). You really have to look past some shit to like either one of them.
tunamelt: No way! Are they simul-webcasting? I’m sorry for your loss. Loud and clear here. Mores the pity. Good thing I have my alcohol all lined up.helenaHandbasket500:
Hockey mom = 1 healthy sip of milk
My son going to Iraq = 1 sip very cheap beer

Oooo. “The Road to Nowhere”! I haven’t heard that one. Guess that’s what you build when you can’t have your bridge. My preciousssssss!
OMG! They just showed her wearing dangly earrings which were either whales or dolphins. It looked like she’d captured, shrunk, speared and hung them there.
Cogito Ergo Bibo: Yeah, a Metrolink apparently collided with a freight train in Chatsworth. That’s terrible…
Sigh. She “doesn’t want to let women down.” Too late, Barbie.
tunamelt: That’s terrible. I can see why they are covering it. Maybe they’ll replay 20/20 later for you? They can’t block your access to soul-chilling morbid comedy!
Canmon (the Inadequate): How about stealing money from American children?
Because McCain is the King of Land Trust Fraud.
He gives a sweetheart deal to his local friends for land trust development, then gets a couple hundred grand in a kickback to his campaign.
Land Trust money funds our public school system here in Arizona. Our schools are the 2nd worse in the nation, right above Mississippi. thanks Johnny Boy and your fellow crony capitalists.
Substitute lobbyists for local buddies, and that is how the McCain Admin will govern. Is this not obvious?
Stop talking about efficiencies, Miss Paliggy! I like living in a one bedroom apartment.
helenaHandbasket500: 9.8 (unless the French judge is disqualified).
She wants to reform oversight of committees “at cabinet level, the next level of bureaucracy and the next level of bureaucracy” to save money. Does she understand the meaning of “bureaucracy”?
Finding “efficiencies” in government is the last resort of politicians who don’t want to make hard choices.
Pretty soon we’ll all be finding efficiencies in bread lines and stealing from one another - but that’s a discussion for when it’s too late to do anything about it.
hehe
I’m growing weary of the Palin drone. Somebody grab an ankle and we’ll make a wish.
Delicious: McCain the least stinky of the Keating Five?…didnt he take the most money from Keating of any of them?…admittedly, i dont have the figures in front of me….but thats what i remember…
please correct me if i’m wrong…
Delicious: Oops, it’s the first choice of scoundrels. My bad.
“The rest of the country doesn’t have to build that bridge for us.” No, but if you kept the cash to do improvement projects that the state would have otherwise paid for, can we pleaze haz back?
sati demise: Wow, are you saying Walnuts didn’t put AZ first? After they’ve had the nerve to put him in office for about 25 years? Should someone call Sheriff Joe Arpaio? Walnuts would look good in one of those pink jumpsuits.
Mating habits of crabs?
Sexy!
Biden said this several days ago:
“Quite frankly, [she] might have been a better pick than me. But she’s first rate, I mean that sincerely, she’s first rate, so let’s get that straight,”
http://www.abc4.com/mostpopular/story.aspx?content_id=57222640-0fb1-42ac-a643-ae358d566a6f
What the fuck was he thinking? Is he trying to lose the election now? WUT R U DOIN TO BARRY DELAWARE PEOPLE?
So if the worst thing possible happens, and someone like the guy who wrote the Muslin sign takes out Obama, all these Wingnuts will then happily support Hillary as the best candidate? It seems right now they can’t find anything bad to say about her. I’m guessing were she the candidate, they would have found something. They’ve been talking for three years about how happy they were going to be to be running against Hillary.
Abuse of earmarks! WTF???? Her stinking little town of 8500 got 27 million in earmarks. My precinct has 18,000 people! Good contrast Charlie of Illinois and Arctic Meth Princess’s town!
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/04/wasillas-meth-problem-mad_n_123996.html
Delicious: Efficiencies are things that only exist before you get into office, not after. Suddenly, they can’t be found anywhere.
Miss Paliggy doesn’t know that pork = earmark.
anabellum: And Cindy McCain and her mafia connected father were financially involved with Keating.
So, wife and father-in-law had a money stake in Keating deals.
Plus the Bahama vacations, yaughts, etc. feh.
Then the obstruction of justice in his wifes drug case.
The average person would not be able to vote if they were charged with the crimes Cindy committed, and thats the truth.
anabellum: He was good buddies with Keating for a long time, but he did the least. He refused to do some of the things DeConcini was asking of him on Keating’s behalf. And Keating and McCain got into some shouting matches about what McCain failed to do. There’s a reason why this ain’t resurfacing - yet.
obfuscator: I am so sorry you are mistaken.
Birth control means you can have your water break in a completely foreign country (sorry, I’m not from TX). Then you give a delightful little speech railing against poor people, polar bears, people who don’t drive SUVs, and girls who wear pants. After a little lunch, you head to the airport and board a 5 hour flight to Seattle. You are dripping baby water everywhere, but you signal to the flt attendant that the sleeping person–the asshole–next to you spilled their drink making the mess. Once you land in the lovely Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, you walk around the lovely, quirky little gift shops and buy chocolates at Frans. Sure you’re having contractions, big whoop. Then, you board your flight to Anchorage. The flight is a 3 to 3.5 hour flight, though it can take a bit longer depending on weather. You experience hard contractions, but keep that shit to yourself. Bite unobtrusively on a bit of leather in your purse you keep for just such an occasion. At last you land at the Anchorage International Airport. Baggage is always a little slow there; the labor pains are like being pummeled by a moose (that really hurts and is often fatal), but the gush of amniotic fluid has diminished, so you bravely “walk it off”. Once the bags are packed you head out meandering through lovely Anchorage to the Glenn Hwy, drive, drive along the dark and winding Knik arm of Cook Inlet, drive, drive along the Parks Hwy for another half hour or so. Drive past your old homestead to a little Mat-Su valley hospital. There you finally deem it appropriate to unclinch your knees and shoot out the burdensome critter within.
Now THAT’S birth control, suckas!
shortsshortsshorts: I saw that. On Morning Joe, they said that was just Biden being self-deprecating. Someone needs to tell him that you don’t need to go overboard on that.
helenaHandbasket500: I know. AND she gave back thousands of dollars per person, directly to the citizens. Not exactly challenging to budget for a state rolling in money. I call that “not having real world experience in executive government” but then I’m also drunk.
Who can help me with the screaming and the shaking and the crying every time Bible Spice shows up on the teevee?
Texan Bulldoggette: It is very curious, because our other Senator, Rick Renzi, is under inditement and FBI investigation for EXACTLY the same Land Trust deals McCain has done for 22 years. McCains latest deal was just last year in Yavapai County, so it is not as if he has stopped ripping off the children of Arizona.
My theory of why McCain is never investigated, much less prosecuted, is Cindy Hensleys long time mafia connections extending into our right wing newspaper, etc.
The alternative Phoenix New Times is the only paper that has ever run any investigative journalism on McCain.
“When you’re running for office, your life is an open book” So quit crying about the tabloids Snowbilly!
Canmon (the Inadequate): I appreciated him too as an anti-torture, Global warming believing, non-ANWR Republican. We also both hated Bush. To bad he seems to at least represent have gone over to the dark side. I’m certianly curious what his presidency would be like, but unwilling to potentially gamble the fate of the human race to satisfy my curiousity.
No equivocation of Roe V. Wade. That’s what Obama should be hammering her on. Supreme Court people! Does this poll wrong?
I can’t keep up, so I’ve been lurking. I think it was Texas Bulldogette that mentioned Gloria Stienham and I remembered reading this article. Here’s the link in case you haven’t seen it: http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-steinem4-2008sep04,0,7915118.story I changed my avatar to my bulldog, Lulu in your honor.
shortsshortsshorts: Actually I think he was sucking up to the bitters. And the person who asked the question was somewhat dismissive of HRC. Biden ain’t stupid (yeah, other than the hair club for men thing). He’s low balling debate expectations & trying to win ‘bitter’ friends. I personally didn’t see anything wrong with it; it makes him look like he’s a bigger person. And I guarantee you if it had been a big deal, the MSM/Fox would have been all over the remark.
“You start banning guns and you will take them away from people who use them responsibly” Sure, Scary Sarah but if you need an assault rifle to hunt, maybe deer hunting isn’t your fricking sport!
shortsshortsshorts: I KNEW Biden, although one of my favorite Congressmen, would eventually say something that retarded, and I knew the SECOND I saw Palin that we were doomed. Unless Obama’s campaign comes up with something better than picking on Juan for being computer illiterate, we are fucked.
Remember, y’all, this is a nation that comprises people who found Dubya’s lack of intellectual curiosity REFRESHING.
Glad she was honest. “How can you be governor and have Bristol’s baby?”
Charlie…you can’t blink.
I’m sold. Swoon…
Ah, Sarah! Gorilla my dreamz!
WithMySFValues: xanax and the “caribou barbie drinking game”
TexaN BulldogGette: sorry for the misspelling.
So, is it official that the Clintons are really not over the whole primary loss thing and are unwilling to put their feet on Palin’s throat and kill her like the duplicitous snake that she is? Is Hillary willing to let Obama wither away so she’s the one and only choice in 2012?
I am so happy my Peace Corps stint won’t start until next year. I can pick a country where real estate is cheap and the locals don’t want to slaughter me solely as a nationalist gesture.
She never did answer whether she thought women had the right to choose. She said that Roe v. Wade should be overturned and that the states should choose, but she only said she “respects” the opinion of women on that issue. Grr.
She totally restated the book blanning issue. She phrased it as “what would you do if a parent asked to ban a book.” That is absolutely not what all the reports state. She asked how you go about banning a book. Very different.
Cogito Ergo Bibo: I’m sober, but I think if you’re going to be lauded as a “popular” governor, it’s a little unfair to have the ability to hand thousands of checks to the populace, and a surplace based on taxing the oil companies. But don’t endorse a strategy of feds taxing the oil companies for the good of the US, because that would discourage competition in a way that Alaskan taxes don’t. Even thought your campaign slogan is Country First.
You’re right, I’m wrong, drunk is a much better way to consider these facts.
snig: McCain will be worse than Bush. Mark.My.Words.
Caribou Barbie has already declared war on Russia, the Project for a New American Century will continue its work-going into Iran, Syria, and Lebanon. McCain will expand the war, I have no doubts about that.
McCain has not dismissed a draft-he is a fuc*in’ military man-what the hell would you expect? Seriously!!
Those two in power is giving me nightmares.
Glad Cormac McCarthys ‘The Road’ is coming out on film so people can see what a McCain/Palin Administration will do to America.
Weeping Jesus: There are countries like that anymore?
one-on-one b-ball with barry? “That would be a blast,” Sarah barracuda says.
Make it so.
helenaHandbasket500: helenaHandbasket500: ive been going over the Wasilla city budget from 2002 back…the town is awash in Federal money….

Cogito Ergo Bibo:
“Bureaucracy” is the name of the sheriff’s eviction notice posted on your doublewide for your failure to make mortgage payments. But I digress. Country First!
Am I wrong?
sati demise: I found it odd/curious that McCain wasn’t about 20 points up in Az. Not that it’s a battle ground state by any means. I have a friend that went to ASU & was raised in AZ & he despises McCain–claims he’s part of the Symington corruption. Is that your take?
WithMySFValues: Drink more. It doesn’t solve anything, but you temporarily care less.
If Hopey and Caribou Barbie play a game of horse, I want to see it. He’s a pretty decent shot from the far court. He’d smoke her.
The idea that Palin might know better than Obama in any subject, any time (other than maybe wolf-hunting or field dressing a moose) is ridiculous.
http://www.entertonement.com/collections/3369/First-Palin-Interview-Pt-1
Red Writer: It’s no mistake that you LITERALLY will not see Phyllis Schafly in the same room as Palin because the McCain campaign is aware it will wake some people up to the similarity. Palin bailed on her forum cause of that. http://worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=74195
Delicious: Sir Hopes-a-lot will kick her butt!
snig: Drunk is always better with this one. Seriously.
Dee Dee! Oh, just, no. “Palin didn’t do any harm to the McCain campaign”? No. Just, no.
Why has Wonkette not linked to the Gina Gershon spoof on Palin yet? It’s not the funniest thing ever, but she does a spot on impression of the accent, once or twice. Plus, she strips down to a bikini.
Red Writer: You bully is beautiful. Oh, there’s nothing like a flat-faced dog; Bulldogs are the best! BTW, I don’t remember commenting about Steinem. I remember I wanted to & looked up your LA Times post, but I don’t think I actually commented about it. But I may have, it’s Friday & a few Silver Bullets later–anything’s possible!
She seemed dumb before, but now she’s sinking to Bush level. She didn’t have a firm grasp on ANY issue. She just repeated some line about being tough and reforming government for every question.
Canmon (the Inadequate): I can understand why you might support John McCain… a good portion of the country does, just as they supported W. I just can’t see you switching from Hillary Clinton to him. Their positions on almost all issues are entirely opposed.
Health care: Not even in the same ballpark… not even the same sport.
A woman’s right to choose: 180 degrees opposite
Education: 180 degrees opposite
Taxes: Hillary’s plan was not that much different than Barack’s (less taxes for most of us)
The war: Hillary is a teeny bit more hawkish than Barack, but nothing like McCain.
As to some nebulous issues such as race relations, McCain supported Evan Mecham’s repeal of the Martin Luther King holiday in Arizona. Hillary (and Bill) have always fought for civil rights. Religion is another quagmire… they don’t call it the religious right for nothing. To hear the Republicans spouting One Nation Under God as if it were the founding fathers’original intent… that’s just insulting to anyone who has ever cracked a history book. That bogus shit didn’t happen until 1956, under Eisenhower. Change indeed.
Ick.
snig: Palin bails on anything she can. She tried to send a surrogate to a debate when she was running for governor.
Delicious: ive heard that McCain balked at some point…but that doesnt mean he didnt exhibit ‘poor judgement’…or profit from the deal….and as far as im concerned it probably only means that he belated figured out that he was ‘in the shit’ up to his neck…
as to whether theres something startling about that episode just waiting to be released…ill leave that up to the big…whatever…and watch carefully for it in the news…
AnnieGetYourFun: I’m a completely straight chick and you still had me at “Gina Gershon in a bikini.”
Oh no!
The Sarah video edit that ABC doesn’t want you to see!
Texan Bulldoggette: McCain is nothing but corruption and self interest. I cant name one thing he has done for this state. Nothing but insider trading, crony capitalism and graft.
He does like to spend 16 hour stretches at the gaming tables in Vegas. The reason he chose Cindy, out of all the skirts he was chasing back in the day, is because she had insider access to gambling in Las Vegas through Kemper Marley …
(Cindys fathers business partner, a man who had a Phoenix reporter blown up by a car bomb-a real American terrorist).
McCain is a compulsive womaniser, drinker and gambler (who used to chain smoke cigarettes at the casinos, but managed to quit). His aids have grounded him from gambling this year, so bet he is bored out of his mind. But, he has Sarah to use and abuse so that may make up for the gambling ban.
sati demise: I am madly for Obama. I mention being curious about a McCain presidency as an intellectual exercise, not something that should be actually pursued by any stretch of the imagination. I have science genes. Curious as in: I’m curious what my death will be like, I wonder what it’d be like to be paralyzed from the neck down, I wonder what it’s like to have Parkinson’s disease. I’m not putting a “No Muslins” sign in my lawn to help satisfy my curiousity.
Canmon (the Inadequate): No, c’mon, seriously. Are you kidding me? What made you want Hillary to begin with? Clearly nothing in her policy, since with the exception of extreme hawkishness, she and McCain are nothing alike. I don’t want to get all uppity on your ass, because you’re one of the nicer commenters, but wtf?
Ahh. All over now. And I have to actually get on a plane going in the general direction of “OMG you people are all going to DIE!!!!” so I should probably sleep this drunk off. I have a long day of cancelled flights ahead of me. Thanks for holding me as I cried during Sarah’s insanity, guys! Kittens and ice cream for you all.
sati demise: Sarah doesn’t distract him from gambling, she is one. The fucking old crustmonger is playing Russian Roulette with all of us!
Cogito Ergo Bibo: I hear “OMG you people are all going to DIE!!!!” is nice this time of year.
sati demise: Hey, you’re preaching to the choir. Send a note to the NY Times or WSJ. I think Walnuts is no more or less crooked than the rest of them. (Ok, slightly more crooked.) But AZ lets him get away with it because of the Hensley money. Why does AZ keep voting the old cooter in?
ZippyD: one = a gamble. dmmt
Texan Bulldoggette: Thank you. We have an Olde English & a Fenchie. Loves me some flat faced doggies. Yours is very cute too.
I was mistaken, It wasn’t you who commented on Steinem, it was Canuckledragger:
“Because Gloria Stienem would tear this woman’s head off with her bare hands and ovulate down her neck.
And, on behalf of my daughters, I would be privileged and honoured to help.”
Canuckledragger: I’ll help too. Sounds like Texan Buldoggette is also game.
Snig: Thanks for the article. I hadn’t seen it. Gee, I wonder why the Republicans wouldn’t want Sarah to be seen with Phyllis Schlafley? Hmmm…
Sire Says: I came close to losing sphincter control when I watched that. They say laughter is good medicine, but only if you’re suited up in Republican-strength Depends.
Texan Bulldoggette: That and all the new people from the midwest and California that have no idea who this ‘war hero’ might be. We had the second fastest growth in the country after Nevada the past ten years. War hero gets a lot of mileage!!
I wonder if Team McCain informed her that women are allowed to vote now.

“Sarah Palin Thinks Barack Obama Will Regret Not Picking Hillary Clinton”
Because Palin and Hilz both have a vajayjay.
I guess that’s good enough.
If I am wrong, please correct.
It seems to me that Mrs. Palin already has Mr. McCain Palin-whipped. It will be interesting to see who’s got top by election day.
Red Writer: Ohh, a Frenchie. Am looking for one currently as we speak. We love the Bullies, but like the wombat ears & smaller size now that we have small, street urchins. BTW: what is an “Olde English”? Is that different from English bulldog or bulldog?
S.Luggo: Sadly enough, I think that Palin might be right. I think that Obama is kicking his muslin ass over this.
I am worn. My brain hurts, and I am sorely pressed to understand how anybody with a functional brain cell thinks McCain/Palin is good for the country. I’m close to panic everyday that they just might win. And to see evil win is nauseating. I wish I drank more.
sati demise: For whatever it’s worth: a good story on the unreported/unpolled Obama ground game: http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2008/09/patience-and-st.html
All I can say is get out there & register voters. I’m in Tx, my vote doesn’t mean shit in the electoral college, but AZ & NM could help (Okay, not AZ).
Canmon (the Inadequate): It’s good to know that you fully support banging lobbyists
Again, all the good shit happens while I’m at work.
Actually, all my stuff happens at night… one day I will join you on this adventure you call “liveblogging”… one day…
I wanna be anarchy.
AnnieGetYourFun: I think Obama knew Hilz wouldn’t take the veep if offered. Ironically, she and Bill might still be one of the few things that could get Obama elected, if they decide to campaign for him. Then again, maybe Obama doesn’t want that. The Dems have given Bill the pariah treatment on the campaign trail for two election cycles. Biden didn’t help any if he actually said maybe Clinton was better qualified. Nothing like feeding the hate-filled opponents a sound bite to use. The thing is, Hillary is meant to lead, not to be second chair.
Weeping Jesus: Uhm…….Bill doing his cigar magic act with Monica did not/would not have helped Gore win in 2000. Bill was more than welcome to campaign for Kerry in 04, but Bill & HRC didn’t want him to win as witnessed by their minimal campaigning because of her chance in 08. Any ‘pariah treatment’ Bill received, I believe he earned every bit of it.
“Hillary is meant to lead, not to be second chair.” What do you think she’s been doing her whole life? Hello, reality????
Weeping Jesus: It was the unexpected surprise in that video that got me. I nearly spit out my gin.
Texan Bulldoggette: Youth and women/minority turn out will be historical. The repugs will be speechless again in Nov like they were in Nov 2006 because they fooled themselves with stupid polls. They’re doing the same thing again.
Weeping Jesus: True that!
Cogito Ergo Bibo: What do you mean “gave back”? Alaska has no income tax… that’s purely a handout, not “giving back”.
KittyKatMan: From your keyboard to God’s ear, right? I agree with the women vote; still kind of shaky with the youth/minority vote. Yeah, they’re energized, but they have to haul their asses out of bed on Nov. 4 & go vote!
I think it’s time to resort to good old style politics.
That’s right: Offer all the folks in da hood a big ol’ blunt for every vote they cast for O and Joe. Round up all the dead voters still on the registration lists and get some good proxy voting. Anyone here from Chicago? I’m sure you have some tactics to add.
I have no shame in sinking to the level of the opposition. It’s what the 9/11 victims would have wanted! (I suck…I know, I suck….)
Patience. It’s timing, people. They can’t take off Hillary’s leash too soon. She’ll wait until the McFailins get comfortable, then lunge for them like they were made of ham. The voice of reason needs to be fresh in the minds of voters come November. Remember: short attention spans.
S.Luggo:
Aren’t “Vajingas” an appetizer at Chi-Chi’s?
Weeping Jesus: Well, Hopey’s finally gong to pay street money to the guys in Philadelphia, but I didn’t thinnk he’d need to do it in Chi town.
Texan Bulldoggette: My uncle once ran for judge in a small eastern Pennsylvania city (Philadelphia). He paid kids to go tear down his opponent’s campaign signs or to deface them and to show up at speeches and heckle the guy. He had the right spirit, but he thought too small…didn’t take all the big steps that lead to greatness… alas, they missed out on a guy who embodied ‘ethics’…
Texan Bulldoggette: This may be why the Obama campaign started a list of text numbers with the Vice presidential pick.
All the youth of today need to get to the polls is a text message:
“meet you for a beer after we vote, m’k?
poll address then bar name
Vote=beer.
Very simple.
Weeping Jesus: ummmm….not sure your uncle had the ‘right spirit’; he sounds kind of like a dick (”He paid kids to go tear down his opponent’s campaign signs or to deface them and to show up at speeches and heckle the guy.), but he had the ‘right spirit’. I hope he found the ‘big steps’ that led him to greatness.
Weeping Jesus: oh honey, we know how to “get out the vote” here in Chi-town. Sir-Hopes-a-lot needs to figure out how to do it in OHIO. And deal with those f’ng Diebold machines….know what i’m saying?
Yeah, too bad he picked somebody who is imminently qualified for the job instead of choosing Scarlett Johansen to score political points. What a dumb shit.
Texan Bulldoggette: I failed in my use of irony. Damn it, McCain makes it look so easy!
Weeping Jesus: I know, right? I remember this one time when Johnny WALNUTS! picked a running mate with no qualifications and no concept of national or international politics as an ironic commentary on Barry’s relative lack of experience. Man, what a joker!
AnnieGetYourFun:
“I think that Obama is kicking his muslin ass over this.”
If so, kill me swiftly, please.
But it might be only be a matter of getting Michelle on “The View” to say how much Obama respects trailer park, white trash, walrus-humping, Evangelical, wolf cub shooting, Oxy-smoking-progeny, glamour queen, superficial, Alaskan womenz politicians.
JMO.

Is this why she had intercourse with Bill, or should we think better of her? If so, how?
I had to rewind to be sure that she said “adult skin cells” instead of “stem cells” - she sure did. who knows what cures can be found in jommacain’s moles?

Yes, an Olde English is a variation on an English, to bring the breed back to what it originally looked like in England before we changed it here in the US. The breed varies a bit, but here are a couple of pix that look a bit like our Lulu:

Try searching Petfinder.com for your Fenchie. We found both of them there. Good Luck.
Off to Watch Palen on Nightline–
KittyKatMan: A flight on American (we serve you nothing and you will be happy about that) Airlines told me that on a connection flight to Chicago through Dallas there would be 30 to 50 mile per hour (or 599 Kilometer) winds through Dallas or Houston or whatever. Ike told us how fucked up we would be at this point, but I didn’t know he would fuck up flight paths after he was dead. He is almost at Reagan status at this point. St. Louis, here I come.
S.Luggo: Please. You know she bent Bill over the chair and gave it to him good while he cried like a little baby. Hence his need to “empower” himself by finding a younger woman to seduce.
I don’t think Hillary would have accepted the offer to be VP, and if she had, I don’t think it would have worked out well in the long run, because neither she nor Bill is happy being second fiddle to anyone. But it would have prevented the stupid “Gorsh, we dun gone and got ourselves a womb-man!” backslapping, self-congratulatory bullshit that the Republicans are now annoying me with.
And YOU KNOW that, should McCain have been stupid enough to pull Palin into this, and if Hillz were the veep candidate, Hillary would have debate-FUCKED Palin over the podium with a massive debate-dildo labeled “Executive experiene THIS, bitch” during each and every VP policy debate and it would have been BEEYOOTEEFULL. Of course, if Hillz had been the Veep pick, then McCain would probs have chosen Mittens. And life would be good.
BTW, with the Today show’s coverage of Palin, I have to admit, Palin is really something.
http://www.hulu.com/watch/34318/nbc-today-show-how-did-palin-do-in-interview
It’s so sad that Dems think that people are going to vote based on issues. Americans have never voted based on issues.
AnnieGetYourFun: I want to do the interwebz with you. And that’s dirty totally appropriate.
Canmon (the Inadequate): So, the whole war thing is O.K.?
Come on Sarah! Sit up straight! Pronounce the vowels!
Canmon (the Inadequate): What’s with these extremely boring posts? As an article of clothing I have many friends who are “on the fringe,” mostly because they are closeted homosexuals, which is good for their personal development, but you? Not so much. What happened to that tolerant spirit? What happened to the latent homosexuality you frequently post on this ‘ere place? America deserves a better explanation than your frequently used and obviously outdated “I am a Retard of the highest order” rebuttal. I’m sorry, rebutthole (for our Republican friends).
I love you folks, and I will see you on the 22nd. Thanks for all the fish. Warship your editors, each and every one, so you can be more prophetic.
Time to watch mommy who has dial-up get married to a big fat-cat type.
Canmon (the Inadequate): It helps to analyze McCain from a psychological and personality perspective rather than voting record, politics, etc. His political views and record are a reflection or his risk-taking, oppositional personalality.
The REAL reason he picked Palin??? His Mom hates her.
shortsshortsshorts: Hey, join us in Seattle for the election. It’s going to be the whackiest (read: nakedest) party ever.
OK, well, there will be organic popcorn, at least.
AnnieGetYourFun: If Jeebus doesn’t show up, it’s considered a sham. Even from your loyal, untainted avatar-mouth.
AnnieGetYourFun: I work for the dirty bastards who attempt to conduct the elections a few times a year, so as I was thinkin’ (which I do not as a loyal republican) K? The elections in Sodomite SF are as bad as they are in Ohio or Florida, but for some reason it feels good to be bad here. I have the ability to make Walnuts the winner in San Francisco, which I will not do, but I’m just sayin- it’s ridiculous to believe that any fuck up can put their little piece of paper into a box and expect it to mean anything.
shortsshortsshorts: I guess that’s why you got your username back..
fuck it I am KevoTron: Yes, better in that there is now room for a reply button.
Lets make this one point crystal clear:
Sarah Palin is a retarded whore.
I share the same gender (shudder) and I easily observe that this bitch is some fucked up shit.
ok, thanks guys
it was either that or put my fist through a piece of glass
I dedicated my music video to… Sarah Palin. She once owned a car wash, too : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqAcIpGY8Nw
facehead: I’ve got a crisp $100 bill for Obama if he’s willing to say “gee willy wonkers” in any context.
Hopesman cannot do it all. If the MSM does not do it’s job of uniformly reporting that McCain is lying and Palin is unfit what can he do? All he can do is say, well duh, they’re lying and she’s unfit.
How many thousands of outlets have run warm and cuddly stories because it sucks in viewers? Each day appearance is trumping not only reality, but responsibility. If he raises the pitch, goes negative, he’ll have to top the Rovians. Then he becomes what they want him to become: an angry black man (no pun intended ABM!) who’ll petrify more of the bitterz.
My fantasy is he cancels his campaign schedule, makes a bee line for McCain’s next stop, calls a news conference and says, “Stop it sir. Period. No blinkety-blink here. You’re destroying the electoral process. And no I’m not going to do your phony town hall events where you get to limp around and spout off slogans. Grow up.” And he just walks off. Unfortunately the Bitterz need a parental hand to wake them up and it won’t come from the usual cast of lefty pundits who just make the wingnuts more committed.
Teh Rovians are taking on every strength Hopey has (now it’s that he’s “disrespectful”) and of course playing the politics of fear. Whither Willie Horton?
The Repubsmuts are making up their own reality and sticking to it bullishly, like a shadow puppet show (which appears to look like strength and leadership). The Demtards are making appeals to voters about concerns which are depressing.
I’d like to hear the Dems tell me stories of what the world will look like when they are in office. Tell me how my life will be better.
Apologies. My snark muscle doesn’t want to get out of bed.
fuck it I am KevoTron: you Rock!
I really think (and hope) Hopey and the gang are biding their time to really hit back. Remember before the primaries when his campaign was just kinda hanging on, then he went on a tear shortly before Iowa? The timing of Bill’s campaigning at the end of this month seem to jibe with this…
Can we get some more rumor and innuendo going here. It’s going to be a long weekend otherwise!
Palin=Vajayjay to nowhere.
Where have our Editors gone? I want to blog a new thread (I sound so fucking net savvy…)
GerryMander:
Barry has had his “Dukakis moment” with the kindergarten sex add. If he does not take the gloves off and fight back hard using McCains policies and words against him, it’s over (think Hillary as the pants suit working class mama).
Seattle, San-Fran, it’s a small coast.
Rush: I agree with you, I’m just trying to grasp for reasons why they’re waiting so long to hit back -
DoctorCulturae: You are so perfectly correct Doc! One of the most powerful images of the Dem Convention was the sight at Invesco - showing us to ourselves. Such a gorgeous assortment of people; ages, races, walks of life on display. And the “ordinary” people who spoke out on why they were supporting Obama - not the wild-eyed America-hating libuls painted by Repugsies. Obama ads should capture THAT. Show us the people, let them explain how Obama’s policies will help them. Show us real people and real concerns. That and that alone can save the day–the bs they are running now is. not. helping.
FLASH: New McCain daily talking points. OK he’s lying. Obama made him because he didn’t let McCain plan his campaign for him. And the press didn’t pay enough attention until the full force non-stop lying kicked in. So everyone is making poor John lie. Pity poor John!
Fucking John the Dishonorable is still - as of last night - running the “I said thanks but no thanks” lie here in FL. It ran right after the equally misleading Obama is mean to Palin ad. Is this a joke? By the time the unblinking unthinking Gov. Barbie acknowledges the lie, shouldn’t they stop the ad? Why is there no regulation or consumer protection against sheerly fucked up, patently false and toxic lies foisted upon the general public? I guess I may as well ask why the fox doesn’t install better locks on the henhouse.
I was hoping Saturday would be funnier than this.
GerryMander:
This is a start:
http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/still_ad/
There are billions of areas to show McCain’s hypocracy and inconsistency plus linking him to Bush and Cheney that Barry AND Biden (anyone remember him?) can use.
Like Shawshank Redemption, sometimes you have to crawl through alot of shit to achieve the larger goal.
Sonoran Sam: Good one!
Palin = Mouth-breathing Harpy Gatekeeper of the Armageddon
The “G-Paw Can’t Use a ‘Puter” ad is LAME! It totally makes the Dems look even more libtard and elitist. C’mon Hopey.. plenty of blue collar and older folks don’t sit around blogging and IMing their friends all day! There are sooooo many more heinous crimes that can be pinned on McLiar and Gov. Nowhere!
Does anyone besides moi want to hear JoeBee say, “You right-wing reactionary, xenophobic, homophobic, anti-education, anti-choice, pro-gun ‘Leave it to Beaver’ trip back to the ’50s, the only thing you have in common with my collegue Hillz is a set of ovaries?”
I mean they’d probably lose, but I want to see them at least go down fighting. Leave Walnuts and the GLIF with bloody stumps where their heads were. It’s not like they need them to carry their brains around.
shoeho: I’d much rather see them win.
Borat, I think you wanted some rumor and innuendo, so I found this for you:
http://www.weeklyworldnews.com/?p=2592
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032553/
Many of you folks have probably seen this, but I think it’s important to display the most wonderful statement made by McCain during the “REAGAN REAGAN REAGAN” debate last year pertaining to small town mayors and short term governors. SUICIDAL. It’s almost worthy of assfucking.
Time to get ready to get on a plane. Enjoy Keith Ubermoff.
ZippyD: Agreed. Those images from Invesco with “see folks, the tide is turning against the constant lies of the last 8 years.” To continue to try to talk issues is Gore-Kerry death. The Repubsmuts will simply ignore them and state their phony realities.
In a way they have to go Reagan on their ass: e.g. “I paid for this microphone, etc.” Defiance in the face of utter cynicism and gimmickry.
And: “A vote for us is a vote for truth-telling. How else will anything meaningful get done? Change for Truth.”
Bush lies=McCain lies
petals: That’s something, and it will tide us over while those fucking editors take time off just because it’s a WEEKEND, the lazy goats, but I was hoping for something more along the lines of “Meth Lab discovered in one of McCain’s 23 houses” or “Willow Palin is also pregnant” or maybe “Sarah Palin’s mother-in-law says ‘fuck that bitch, I’m voting for the black guy.’”
gurukalehuru: I know, i know. I’m trying….
Weekend fun (by way of Andrew Sullivan, and the show tune gayz at Obama National):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3ijYVyhnn0
(P.S.–How many really, really pretty white people work for Obama? Do all presidential campaign headquarters look like the set of the Young & the Restless? Somehow I imagined they all looked like Carville….. Gas station attendants in suits…)
Rocky!!!!!!!!!!
Adrian!!!!!!!!!!!
Does anyone have the link to the video where they did a countdown of the number of times Palin did the “I told them Thanks but No Thanks” bit? It’s awesome to hear her repeat that same exact speech to different audiences. Maybe it’s my imagination, but it seemed like each time she hit the “ovation” lines in the speech there were more crickets chirping and fewer “what she said!” reactions.
professor.cj: Tonys for everyone.
Also: “This is how you stick it to lying Republican Hacks”
Ari Melber for Chief Asskicker.

Borat: I’ve turned to my West Wing DVD’s for now… lots of good stuff in season four to get me back on my game.
DoctorCulturae: Damn, Doc. Beautiful. Beautiful.
shoeho: Bruno Gianelli for VP! You know, before he became a republican and shit.
Hopey needs to keep engaging McCain and tying him to Bush (the most unpopular Repub since Nixon for God’s sake) and ignore Palin. “I’m sure she’s a nice woman…now McCain votes with Bush 90 percent of the time”. I agree that the John McCain is Grampa Simpson ad is quite lame, but it has gotten the media talking about it and that’s key…they show it for free. I especially liked the part where BHO’s campaign called McCain’s tactics the lowest since SC in ‘00…ouch! The Palin bloom is falling off the rose as we speak. GOP women (Bay Buchanan) like her 4ever, but regular KMart moms aren’t interested in a shootin’ war with Russia. Plus, I still think Bristol will have a “pregnancy emergency” prior to the Oct. 2 debate and mom won’t show.
Excuse me but I was wondering if anyone
knew where the thing went that if we clicked
on our name it showed how many posts we’ve made?
I’m so angry that God gave Palin a vagina.
Democratica:
In what respect Charlie?
I heard Sarah talk for the first time on the teevee last night (I don’t watch much teevee, but it was a rainy night). She’s a Canadian, A? How can she run for VP of the USA. Its unamerican (and uncanadian, too).
NotLaughing: Dunno. But I was wonderin’ too.
I’m so angry that God gave Palin a
vaginaclown car./fixed.
momus: She’s a hoooackey maum from Minnesoota.
Weeping Jesus: Absolutely. Bitch needs new material. I liked her adlibbed “in what respect charlie” thing — more of the same!
I’m still pissed & depressed about the state of our country:
http://tdh46.typepad.com/mondosapore/2008/09/off-topic-no-ap.html
Sarah Palin is FOR rapists rights and against womens rights because she made women pay for their rape kit while mayor of the Meth capitol of Alaska. The Governor in office at the time had to write a special law to stop this Palin practice. Alaska is after all the number 1 rape state.
Now, was Palin doing this to keep raped women from using the morning after pill or emergency contraceptive?
Or was she simply trying to keep taxes low?
Sarah Palin picks up the criminal rapist vote! She forced my victim to have my baby! Yeah!
Whats not to like about Palin (if you are a rapist)?
sati demise: good point. she was cutting govt waste AND generating revenues. It was a win/win/lose. NB: Sarah did not lose.
Strappo: I can’t wait for Joey B. to have his way with her.. Her new material will be adjusted as follows in the VP debate: “(giggles) In what respect, Aunt Jemima? “
Strappo: Thanks, Strappo, but here’s the one I was thinking of. It’s hilarious to listen to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzaIEgLYDgY&feature=user
(I hadn’t been on your site before, but now it’s on my list of places to visit when I’m looking to spend even more of my valuable time on the internet!)
I have clicked on three links today about Moosie that are “not available”. Who is scrubbing them?
Depressed &: Rove.
Weeping Jesus: luv that site traffic…grazie! i’m all about wasting what precious time i have left on this earth. it’s the ultimate luxury!
I think every time the people of Ketchikan, whom Palin lied to about that bridge when running for governor, hear the “thanks but no thanks” bullshit they hear, instead, “I said ‘Thanks for your votes, now fuck off’”.
Weeping Jesus: That would be a good parse.
sati demise: I think she was most likely raped by a young sixty-esh Ted Stevens and really, really liked it.
This is great-Caribou Barbie is crossing off yet another country on her extensive world travel list: Iraq.
If I recally correctly she claimed her aircraft’s refueling in Ireland at one point.
http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2008/09/13/palin_camp_clarifies_extent_of_iraq_trip/
And she still describes going to Germany and Kuwait as “trip of a lifetime”. She also said when in PA it was “nice to see a different part of the country”.
I know I’ve seen those pictures of Wasilla so I have some sympathy she’s an uncultured swine, but to describe going to Q8 as a trip of a lifetime is beyond belief. I’m there WAY too often and can tell you that is one boring place - and I’m mingling with the locals rather than on some crappy army base.
petals: Thanks. I expected light sabres though. Oh sorry, Walnuts don’t know what that is. He can tie a Rock to a Stick - he’ll remember that from his childhood + its what we’ll all end up using after Moosilini starts an unprovoked newclearish war with Putin
Borat: Maybe they served her some scrapple and she farted her way to Kuwait, hence the “different part of the country”. I thought she knew all about pipelines…
sati demise: Ahahaha… yeah, show Palin campaigning for the rapist vote in a prison. That would be priceless!
Smoke Filled Roommate: Thanks. Must have had a brain-fart. One link was from early this year. Apparently she was on a right-wing radio program. Host started making fun of someone that had cancer and she was heard giggling during his rant. At the end he asked if he could visit her and she said it would be an honor.
more rumor:
Walnuts and Snowbilly are fakin it (with respect to recent crowd turnouts at events)
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601070&sid=a1J0tfV3XJYs&refer=politics
WALNUTS and Caribou Barbie are hands down the 2 biggest liars I have ever seen in my entire life. For Christ’s sake, I don’t think Nixon lied as much as these two pig fuckers do. Absolutely fucking shameless. There is a special place in Hell for these 2 assholes. Of course you didn’t go to Iraq you dumb bitch. Has this broad told any actual truths since she was picked? And the bitters lap it up. This country is super-fucked.
Mrs. Nu-ku-lar’s interviews with Charlie Gibson convinced me more than any other info on the internets that this woman is simply not ready for prime time. She is a pedestrian intellect at best and she literally knows NOTHING about anything. But doesn’t it seem that in recent elections being smart seems to be some sort of handicap while being a dolt is some sort of badge of honor? Maybe we should all try to boost Obama’s numbers back up by making up a secret ivy league background for Palin while portraying Obama as one step down from Re-Run?
Isn’t it obvious? “McCain/Palin– Thanks but no thanks“. Oh, that would be too easy and cliche–(we gotta appeal to an entirely stupid electorate here!)
Hunter Gathers: But Walnuts is following Osama to the gates of hell? My advice: hurry up and take the bible thumpers, racists and homophobes with you. But can leave the rest of the ignorant so long as they don’t breed.
So we’ve been outraged; the press has finally noticed; Grumpster and Gidget have carried on lying in spite of also confessing the lie. You know their pussy-whipped minions are eventually going to say, “Oh, what’s the big deal, really? She’s promised to help Rove’s sock puppet change everything as soon as they are installed as leaders of the free world.” I know that will be their response because it was her (feeble) response to Charlie.
One of JM’s readers at TPM nails it, “She introduced herself to the world stage by delivering a speech that she knew was a lie. What kind of a person does that?”
Yes, what kind of person? And not just once–repeatedly. Again, and again, and again. In print, ads on teevee, and in person. The same lie spewed out of the mouths of hellspawn mouthpieces.
This is a truly special kind of shameless.
Borat: I’m getting drunker now, so starting to lose it (haven’t started smokin’ yet)
Anyway, the idea here is that Walnuts picked someone to complement his international experience:
-5 AND A HALF YEARS (with Viet Cong Ho’s)
-2(?) trips to Czechoslovakia (post-velvet revolution)
-1 trip to some Iraqi market requiring lots of security, helecopters
Ok, I’m losing interest in fact checkin’n’stuff so feel free to call me out if I’m wrong.
ZippyD: Lying. Shame. ftw. Sweet.
McCain=Bush
Bush=McCain
When are you godless heathen libruls gonna figger out that Obama isn’t SUPPOSED to win, and that he and Biden are OK with that ? You CAN’T smell a deal, here ? YIKES . . . and you-all are s’posed to be “the smart kids” ?
Let ‘em keep spewing their lies and using the same recycled cheer over and over. By November, it will become as unbearable to everyone as the fuckin’ Macarena or Mary-Lou Retton’s Energizer commercials.
Smoke Filled Roommate: Brilliant!
McCain/Palin….Thanks but No Thanks!
New bumper sticker.
Rev. Dr. Billy Bob:
You may want to brace yourself.
Are Americans out of their every-four-year friggin’ minds? How is it possible that the world’s leading democracy has given the edge in electoral college polls to that incredible pair of dopey dopes?

sati demise: My bumpersticker…Sarah Palin — right for Alaska, wrong for America
shit, I should copyright that asap..
ZippyD: I guess it says something about the electorate when a candidate can be confronted on a nationally televised interview with a blatant lie and react as if the interviewer is the village idiot. I would despair, but I have great faith in the power of debates and last minute kneecapping to steer the outcome in a favorable direction. Yes, I admit, I’m half Italian with some questionable family history…but hey, don’t we all have that in our closets?
Rev. Dr. Billy Bob: Flying Spaghetti Monster tell you that?
Fear not fellow Wonketeers, for I come bearing tidings of hope! I have just returned from my nephew’s birthday party where I took part in a most interesting discussion. I have begun to avoid talking politics with most people because if I discover they are McCina/Palin supporters, I immediately want to bash in their heads. So, when I heard the talk in the next room ( I was getting a third piece of pizza-don’t judge me) turn to Iraq/the election, I was sure it would be a quick exit for me and the fam. But no! They were talking about how McCain’s a warmonger and Palin’s a very scary vapid woman. Curiosity got the better of me, and I turned around. IT WAS A ROOM FULL OF OLD PEOPLE! We’re talkin’ the youngest guy was in his mid-60’s. They get it- they’re not blindly voting for McCain just because he’s older! They’re embracing change! I damn near cried. I joined the conversation, and was so encouraged by what I heard, I had to get home and post a.s.a.p. Hope is alive as they can’t be the only group of Seniors thinking this way! Patience and Steel.
irisheyes: Mr Irisheyes, well that’s somewhat encouraging but I dare say the polls are not. But what do polls know? What do I know? Are the polls overly loaded towards Republicans? (I read this somewhere– not here!) Are the samples big enough? Are the pollsters Reagan-80s coke heads? Regardless, I find it troubling. troubling, troubling. Even though I think it might be fun to blast Palin for four years, I was hoping for Hopey to get up on his horse and kick the living shit out of this Administration and everything that resembled it. Jokes on David Letterman are not doing much… but old people, well, perhaps the old people have a clue.
ZippyD: That’s the Republican shit machine in true form..
I was watching msnbc the other day and the Repub woman guest (not anyone notable) kept rattling garbage like, ‘The Obama campaign is completely obsessed with Sarah Palin’…
Last night I watched Real Time and saw the same shit coming out of the mouth of WSJ’s John Fund. Total projection– the truth is the Republicans are obsessed with Palin, probably because she has a huge epic fail possibility.
So, as always, why not go to the MSM and try to spin it?
MISTAHCOUGHDROP: A formality, but it’s Mrs. Irish Eyes, and I too was feeling it all slip away in the polls. But I think, that if the seniors seem to get it, and let’s face it -on the the whole seniors fear change, everyone else will too. And I also read where polls skew republican- and one that CNN uses for it’s “poll of polls” is from FoxNews. And what do you think those people are looking for? A close race drives the news cycle. A landslide predicted in September means everyone tunes out…
irisheyes: This is promising! My republican in laws are fearful of and disgusted by McCain/Palin and are voting for Hopey Joe this year. But they are not confident that enough of their peers can bring themselves to vote for ‘a black’, so our conversation ended not as happily as yours.
I posted some pictures of the Alaska Women against Sarah rally today in Anchorage, if you’re interested. http://www.laurainak.blogspot.com
Unfortunately, nothing good will happen because all over the country the repukes are actively trying to steal another election as they’ve done since 2000. If you know what they are doing and how successful they are and have been, you will be Depressed and Pissed Off too. I don’t think anything will stop them. The dems have been impotent in every election since 2000 so far. The stakes are even higher now since there is so much money at stake.
Stop. watching. polls! They mean diddly-squat! Does anybody here honestly believe that 1k people can accurately voice the opinions of 300M? Polls are media tools to antagonize people and ultimately beef up ratings from the resulting fights. Repubs feed the smut-hungry media with their current interpretation of the Dem mindset, and the media prints it without verifying the accuracy. The Repubs are Masters at media manipulation ( championed by Reagan, who understood the power of television back in the ’50s ) and character assassination. Prove them wrong by not taking the bait.
Resume snark.
lg: sent these to a load of my friends and told them to spread the word- strength in numbers!
How come some of the posts don’t have the reply thing?
lg:
Thanks for posting these.
The people looked very familiar.
NotLaughing:
Start Thinkin’.
irisheyes: Yeah, then all those old people started talking about they miss Wavy Gravy.
I’m getting a bad feeling.
It won’t fit on the thing?
Servo: Totally agree. One thousand people don’t represent the whole country, and I have a feeling most of them come from one part of the country.
If there was a poll with 1% of the population (3 million) people, then I might pay attention.
Smoke Filled Roommate: Or put it on Cafe Press.
lg: Some of those signs were great. But am I the only person who scrolled a little further down and immediately blurted out, “Awww! Puppies!!!”
Side note– The talking ad outsmarts me again! I cannot stop accidentally rolling my mouse over it. “One of the things that, uh, uh, has happened here…” Argh.
itgetter: I know. The puppies were so cute. I feared there would be pictures of them shot, gutted, and cooked up for the repugnitards red-meat diet.
Blinkin’: Nah. They’ll just saw off their little puppy forearms for a bounty to be set by Palin.
why am i here?
I’m usually way more Puppy than Political but this was a momentous occasion for us Alaskans.
NotLaughing: You’re not here. You’re not really here, I mean. Because there is no here here.
Now where are our fearless leaders? I am new here (the here that is here). Is it usual that they take the weekend off? Hmmm.
irisheyes:
What kind of cake did you have?
The tubes they are slow today, too slow. Old ass Wonkette piece best place on the Internets Saturday night. This is fucking sad. Funny too, though.
NotLaughing: Are you having an existentialist crisis?
They take the weekend off and there isn’t really a here here.
If you need me to show you the ropes just let me know.

In wot respekt, Charlee?
NotLaughing: How many ropes are you going to show me?
So if THEY aren’t here (the here that is not here) won’t they be surprised when they come back and see like 1,000 posts. Or are they all jaded and all and they don’t care?
From Wiki: “Dread, sometimes called angst, anxiety or even anguish is a term that is common to many existentialist thinkers”
I think we’ll all be having an existentialist crisis if the Snowbilly gets elected and eats all of our puppies…after sawing off their forearms and getting her $5 bounty
NotLaughing: oooh…it was good. moist and with just the right amount of vanilla buttercream icing. just enough to send you into diabetic shock.
From the NYT: WASILLA, Alaska — “Gov. Sarah Palin lives by the maxim that all politics is local, not to mention personal.
So when there was a vacancy at the top of the State Division of Agriculture, she appointed a high school classmate, Franci Havemeister, to the $95,000-a-year directorship. A former real estate agent, Ms. Havemeister cited her childhood love of cows as a qualification for running the roughly $2 million agency.”
When they “love of cows” do they mean love in the biblical sense?
Blinkin
If you’re in DC you can go drink at Adams and be jaded with them.
From the same NYT article:
And four months ago, a Wasilla blogger, Sherry Whitstine, who chronicles the governor’s career with an astringent eye, answered her phone to hear an assistant to the governor on the line, she said.
“You should be ashamed!” Ivy Frye, the assistant, told her. “Stop blogging. Stop blogging right now!”
I feel so ashamed….
InKnockYouUs:
I think they’re jaded and don’t really care.
<—still worried about the reply thing
I love the name Franci Havemeister.
She doesn’t sound the least bit jaded.
People seem to have cooler names in Alaska. Franci Havemeister is good, but see these:
“[The Legislature's investigator, Stephen] Branchflower said he needed subpoenas to interview several Palin aides who had been in meetings about the matter. And in one case, he said, he needed to compel the interview of a state contractor whom he said may have lied to him.
Murlene Wilkes owns Harbor Adjusting Services in Anchorage, which has a contract with the state to process workers’ compensation claims, Branchflower said. She told him the governor’s office did not pressure her to deny a claim for Wooten, he said. But in August, one of her employees called a tip line and claimed there indeed was such pressure, Branchflower said.”
Murlene Wilkes
Stephen Branchflower
Even better would be: Murlene Branchflower.
InKnockYouUs: Almost like Cargas Skykiller.
irisheyes: I wish. My father all the sudden became a right wing moran when Bush got elected.
Cant even talk to the guy, then had to put his email addy into spam. This was after sending him to snopes a hundred times, so I gave up.
Have heard the polls taken on the week-end that you get on Mondays-Tuesdays should be totally thrown out because of week-end activities by everyone but the oldsters.
Why am I here?
Sarah Palin= Queen of Per Diem.
god, she is turning this election into a soap opera.
Thats not feminist transcendence!
irisheyes:
Please tell me you live in OH, MI, VI, or FL. If you live in an elitist state then I would say duh.
If so then I will rejoice with thee in the highest.

NotLaughing: Yeah, it isn’t. I had to work my ninja tech skillz and type in the slashes and brackets myself to reply to Blinkin’. And it didn’t work, which made me feel impotent and small.
Also, NotLaughing: Excellent. I have started annoying my family by inserting a terse “Charlie” in the middle of my sentences.

“And I can see Alaska from my house!”
Democratica: It’s only 845 in librul california….so I can’t see tina ripping sarah right now.
Could you liveblog it for me?
druranium: Ooooh … I forgot about the west coast thing! The opener was Tina (Sarah) and Amy (Hillary) and it was fantastic - including Poehler’s baby bulge under her pantsuit! From the accent to the sexpottyness of it all, Fey is perfect. Best is the commentary though, “ANYONE can be president!” If I didn’t have cheap-ass cable, I’d wind it back and send off more quotes…
Democratica: Sounds fantastic! Looking forward to seeing that. Right now I’m watching “Sarah Palin Revealed” on cnn. Sarah was apparently the reader in the family! At age 12 she began speaking in tongues.
SNL News reports that latest poll results report, “John McCain is only six points behind Sarah Palin”
druranium: Did that CNN show give information about when Sarah decided to develop her incredible Kegel powers so she could have a baby “when I want it, where I want it”? Really, though, that’s a form of “choice”, no?
druranium: No, no, no!
You’re supposed to put your head through a glass ceiling.
Wow, platinum volumes. C’mon westerers,keep it up while the east coast takes a little break on account of the ol dark thing.
In separate news, I’ve been listening to Liz Phair on the ol polyester bride all over again, check out this:

Good to see shortsies is all back and having fun.
Weeping Jesus: Nah, they played it off like it was a run of the mill thing. To hold in your down baby for 8 hours or so while you crisscross the skies. She didn’t want the trig to be born in the lower 48 for christ sakes! When alaska secedes he would be a citizen of an awful and foreign land! Her sister is so neat… They are all Just Like Us. USA!USA!USA!
Wagamuffin: i needed to laugh. thank you for this.
DC Spring: Liz Phair’s video was a lot like Sarah Palin’s life. Lots of bad hair, polyester, unplanned pregnancies, and shotgun weddings! it’s a good song.
DC Spring: I fucking hate Liz Phair..
Smoke Filled Roommate: For the love of Jeebus, don’t encourage discourse on the topic of Liz Phair. That’s like encouraging discourse on the topic of anchovies, or down pillows, or circumcision–this just isn’t the forum (except maybe circumcision, if Larry Craig is involved)–go to Rachel Ray, or Oprah, or wherever.
For Liz Phair, you’re likely looking for Gawker.com, or some such irrelevant nonsense (apologies, Nick, lol.)
Can we haz a wknd edtr and chzbrgr plz? Gawker haz onez. (teasing, plz dont banz me.)
Youtube has the SNL skit with Tina Fey. Excellent.

Servo: Schadenfried: Sigh. For all the many reasons to treat polls with a skeptical glance (sampling errors, response bias, non-response bias, people having only cell phones, whatever) the sample size is NOT ONE OF THEM. The sample size of 1500-2000 provides a reliable result with a clear margin of error. Doubling, or taking that sample
