- Palin opposed some bill preventing Alaskan sexual violence and then, just in keeping with tradition, fired its main proponent. [Daily Kos]
- The powerful International Tanning Association stands by its gal Palin and decries the terrible and nonexistent “sun scare industry,” which is Alaskan for “liberal MSM” or “people with skin cancer,” depending on your inflection. [Matthew Yglesias]
- Palin thinks Alaska produces either 6 times or 3 times as much energy as it does, depending on if you believe she’s a colossal idiot or, as her office would have you believe, half a colossal idiot. [Ezra Klein]
- Why won’t Barack Obama pose for post-coital webshots with Joe Biden? It’s because he is ashamed, unlike photogenic best friends McCain and Palin. [RedState]
- For no reason, Palin lied about some teleprompter in Ohio being broken and will now try to fire that telepromter, for working. [Andrew Sullivan]
- According to its ex-CEO, Palin, Biden, Obama and McCain don’t have what it takes to run Hewlett Packard, which is a relevant skill to practically everything. [Ben Smith]
Technically, the ex-CEO didn’t have what it took to run Hewlett Packard, either. Takes one to know one? Or something?
International Tanning Association: sun scare industry
Er, isn’t the whole point of tanning beds that it’s NOT the sun? Am I missing something here?
AnnieGetYourFun: Sexist.

Shit! The Republicans all have evil tanning machine rays that make them stupid and war mongering, that’s why they’re all falling apart with the skin cancer! That’s where Dick has been!
>>Er, isn’t the whole point of tanning beds that it’s NOT the sun? Am I missing something here?
skin cancer is a liberal conspiracy; also, climate is not affected by human activity, don’t ya know?
(Seriously, UV light is UV light regardless of source…)
So, at this point, both Caribou Barbie and Grampy McOldster will pathologically lie about anything, just to hear the sound of their own voices. Excellent! I eagerly await their new stand on ice cream trucks on Mars and how Todd is actually a de facto member of the Alaskan cabinet.
You people are over analyzing. When Palin speaks of Alaska producing 20% of the Nation’s energy, she’s talking about the energy produced when two 17-year old unmarried teenagers fondle each other after-hours in the locker-room of the local hockey rink.
The “Melanoma For Everyone” Society Agrees wholeheartedly with the ITA in their support for Sarah.
BTW, she apparently bought the damn tanning machine for her daughters. Why does Sarah want to kill her children?!
Serolf Divad:
The “Paradise by the Dashboard Light” Energy Plan?
Hopefully John McCain will show his support for the International Tanning Association by spending many many hours under a tanning light just to show us how safe it is.
Serolf Divad: Oh. I thought she was talking about the energy from Wasilla’s meth. Thanks for clearing that up.
Cogito Ergo Bibo: DUDE, I fucking CALLED it. I KNEW it was for Bristol Levi Palin-Johnston.
Well, if you had five kids, you’d want to, too.
Did anyone else notice these articles open in new windows? YAY!
maybe bush got cancer from palins tanning bed?
AnnieGetYourFun: Why don’t you just call Carly Fiorina a pig and say her pussy stinks and get it over with, misogynist!
Tanning Beds are so safe that Candidate McCain is going to give us a demonstration! Come on up Johnny McMelanoma!
Well, given that she’s a Republican, a tanning bed is kind of quaint. Most Republican scandals seem to involve public bathrooms, underage kids, etc.
She IS, however, holding to the pattern of doing EXACTLY what she’d been ranting against.
If, apparently, you need to be a CEO to be able to run anything like a country, I therefore nominate Steve Jobs. He could have cool campaign commercials featuring silhouettes of voters voting to the latest hip band and he’d redo the White House so it’s totally modern and hip and rename it the iWhite House.
I like how the RedState article calls Palin “Pail”. I guess that is a reference to her being empty-headed.
Note to the zany Redstaters — Obama and Biden aren’t seen together as much as McCain and Palin for two reasons: 1. Joe Biden is capable of campaigning all by himself, and 2. Obama doesn’t need a tabula rasa MILF to bring people to his campaign events.
And also, Hopey doesn’t want to be around the next time Biden tells some dude in a wheelchair to stand up.
Blurg!! When it rains, it floods:

Seems that Sarah talked to an elite BEFORE she was named VP. Really should have thought this all through before they started pushing out statements. But, at least she didn’t blink. And that’s the most important thing of all. Well, after being the son of a Luo tribesmen–hate those guys!!!

This 2003 New York Times story said the Bush Administration wanted to strengthen Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac regulation but Congressional Dems and the housing lobby opposed it.
Occasionally, you guys should deviate from the Palin stuff.
Political Addict: Are you suggesting that the Dems were solely responsible for Fannie and Freddie when a Republican-held congress disagreed with the president?
Gopherit v2.0: shhhh years are hard, that are just so many of them, who knows what happened during which one
To be fair, the guy she fired for backing the sex crime legislation was the same guy she fired for not firing her ex-brother-in-law. So it’s not quite a case of “yet again firing an opponent”, since this guy was pulling double duty as an opponent on two fronts. Which really just reinforces the Fake America notion that there’s nobody in Alaska besides the Palins and the cast of Northern Exposure.
Ha ha. Snowbilly is right and you are all suckers!!!
Alaska does produce that much and possibly more. This is the tip of the iceburg. The figures you think are true are just accounting lies to cover up all the secret oil concessions sold off by Caribou Barbie and her secret police. Why do you think she bribes Alaskans $1200 a year? To keep them quiet from telling the truth!
What, you think all those tattooed lips, unamerican non flag pins, Suburbans & tanning beds come for free? You’re telling me she has that much money to spend on a sunbed? Don’t tell me she got the money from her per-diem. She’s got enough sitting in a BVI bank account to buy and sell Alaska for 2 cents an acre. I know!
Only liberals get skin cancer.
Political Addict: Speaking of Palin…at least the Congressional Dems knew that they weren’t owned by the government then….
Godot: Even the cast of Northern Exposure was actually in Washington…so I guess that leaves just the Palins…and some moose…
Umm, Walnuts seems to have decided to pay some losers to invade this site with his golf gear. After all, he invented the Blueberry’s intertubes emailweb.
I for one welcome these minions. Once they are talking to you they can be easily manipulated.
On a different topic did anyone see that prehistoric pigs ruled the earth for 1 million years with no preditors?
Fiorina is so useless, for all parties. Where does she get the tape recorders and ever-eager reporters from anyway? Shouldn’t she be out interviewing?
Borat: Did they have lipstick?
Borat: ooo. my new golfnutz friends, can someone explain to me why republicans like 911’s son need to play the game as a TEAM? HA HA HA… what’s the matter your POW injuries mean you can’t play golf and type on a boisenberry at the same time??
Is there such a thing as an aneurysm brought on by pure hatred? I think I’m going to die of one before the election at this rate.
Political Addict: So, the Republitards controlled Congress, the White House and the Supreme Court and couldn’t get anything done. Wow. That’s like incompetent. They couldn’t pass banking laws, couldn’t close Enron loopholes and couldn’t overturn Roe v. Wade despite the fact that they controlled all branches of government for like six years. We know why Roe v. Wade wasn’t undone…that’s a good way to fire up the base now, idn’t it? But everything else…
no matter what you say about moosebutt,she is smarter and speaks better than gwb. and can walk better. she did not go to an ivy league school (north of 140th st., nyc), which is a plus. she has a better school record than john bluto blutarsky. what could go wrong?
“Johnny McMelanoma”
Love it! Johnny Melanoma and Sarah Melamama.
But remember what Rick David said: “this election is not about the issues” It’s about the tissues.
If Obama is elected he’ll take away our tanning beds!
grendel: check the prehistoric pigs out for yourself at my favotite tabloid, the sun. If you had 1 million years, wouldn’t you figure out lipstick sooner or later?
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article1687112.ece
oh, my mistake, the earth is only 6000 years old
Borat: thanks. after reading that great piece of journalism try the bikini babe article. all very scientific.
Everybody is on tanning now because everybody wants to be like…Barack Obama!!
Also, Pals is just jealous of Barry’s permanent tan.
Borat: Extinct 6-foot tall pig: Dinohynus
Political Addict: Saying that removing the oversight and giving it to Bush would be “strengthening regulation” is bullshit. Placing the oversight with the Treasury department would have really made things better, after all look at the bang up job the Treasury department has done in the last seven years.
njdon: I enjoy all the traditions of the scientificals
If ANYONE can recognize someone who can’t run Hewlett-Packard, it’s Carly Fiorina.

You hide when you are ashamed.
Godot: Trying to spread the word that there are lots of Alaskans who reject Sarah and her ways! Pics of the AK Women Reject Palin rally here: http://laurainak.blogspot.com
AnnieGetYourFun: A lead=off home run!
Serolf Divad: In my high school alone, there was enough energy generated to light Anchorage. In December. Unfortunately, I wasn’t doing my bit–or anyone, for that matter….
