Oh look what Alaskan numbskull Sarah Palin is wearing now: It’s an Imperial death smock, just like what’s his name, Peter Cushing, wore in the fascist movie Star Wars. Tomorrow, inevitably, she will wear a bear suit. [Gawker]
CRACK THAT WHIP
Sarah Palin and the Softer Side of the Death Star
Read More:
She will literally blow up the planet. All except the Hoth like station of Alaska.
I think that I’d rather vote for “some clown in a bear suit” any day over Darth Palin.
There are no Imperial women.
Figure it out.
CrunchyKnee: Darth Palin…. brilliant!
Isn’t that style what is known as a Mao collar? Communist!!! Why does Sarah Palin hate fashion and America?
Well, what else should we expect a fascist cunt to wear?
This might call for a photoshop of her in the Princess Leia cast iron bikini chained to a Jabba McNasty.
Vanity Smurf:
Why do you think they were so cranky and controlly?
I believe it would be Grand Moff Palin.
DarkSynergy: An insult to both Cheney and Vader. She’s more of a Boss Hogg type — with lipstick!
Her endless jaw alone will destroy the world.
Have you ever met a conservative who didn’t get a plumpy seeing chicks in Nazi garb? She’s just giving the base some masterbatorium fodder.
I’ve never understood why people with full access to anything they want would STILL choose to dress like they shop at Burlington Coat Factory. It’s almost like the Republican Party got a hold of a truckload of clearance items destined for Goodwill, and bogarted that crap, too.
These people are way too determined to convince us they are just like the rest of ‘Murica.
Whiskeybaby: When she leans out the window in the morning to wave hello to Putin, she wants him to feel at ease.
All Sarah needs is an Anti-Sex League red sash. Then she can go home and do her “duty to the party” by procreating more unfortunate infants with snowbilly moron and power-behind-the-throne hubby Todd “First Dood” Palin.
I think it would be stretching it to compare her to Grand Moff Tarkin. I think the more apt comparison would be the Dark Star’s cruise director who inexplicably becomes Grand Moff’s #2 due to radiation poisoning causing the onset of Moff’s senility.
SeminoleInDior: The inspiration for this sartorial preference is Pat Nixon, who, according to her one-time Preznit hubby, the late Richard Nixon, did not own a fur coat, but instead, a “good Republican cloth coat.” The purpose of this PR nonsense is as you stated.
facehead: She hearts the forrenz.
Palin’s more Space Balls than Star Wars.
WagTehGod:
I’m guessing related to the Assholes?
It’s the Dominatrix uniform for cold climates. I can totally see her with elbow-length leather gloves on while wearing this suit.
I just read through today’s posts. Excellent job. You guys started strong with the Lawyer who got raped and robbed by a Denver tranny, and just kept delivering after that. Well done. . .
ManchuCandidate: On our Ludicrous Speed ride to hell.
Well, there’s fashionistas, and then there’s fascistas.
edgydrifter: Mebbe she can borrow those knee-length leather boots that Condi wore on her overseas trips…I’m not exactly sure what fashion statement Gov. Palin is shooting for here, but then again Cindy McCain wore millions of dollars worth of outfits and jewelry at the convention and everyone thought she looked like a pole dancer…Palin looks more like Miss Huan from Doonesbury.
You can put lipstick on the Grand Moff but he’s still the Grand Moff
Sarah Palin’s first foreign policy intiative: Bringing Orange Slices to Iraq at “Halftime”.
http://megasizzle.com/funny/sarah-palin-brings-orange-slices-to-save-iraq-at-halftime/
SeminoleInDior: I’m still waiting on some to explain Cindy’s convention wear choices!
Sarah Palin = Ysanne Isard?
Evacuate? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances.
WagTehGod: In the SpaceBalls universe it would be Grand MUFF Palin…
bcnjake: btw, WIN.
She also looks the the female version of Captain America’s nemesis, Red Skull. But with sexy Tina Fey glasses.
Great Jebus! It’s not hard to make this lady look nice. Can’t we all just make the lady look nice? MAKE IT WORK! Andre? Where’s Andre?
I guess since conservative women can’t show any skin, these are the consequences. Oh, and has anyone else noticed the similarities between John McCain’s skin and Bib Fortuna’s?
Keram2:
True, but Walnuts jowls are more Jabba-esque.
ColdCupofHope: Maybe she could be the next challenge on Project Runway. Of course, with this seasons designers she’d still end up looking like a drag queen or Betty Page.
I got nuthin, but I will say “hey Sarah, wear this”
Grand Milf Palin, blah blah blah… Star Wars puns aren’t my forte.
That’s not a death smock, it’s a speed suit. It’s the ultimate fashion statement for the super villain or mad scientist on the go. The cleverly disguised flap in the back means she doesn’t even have to come out of it to relieve herself. While it does come in pastel colors, she appears to have chosen one of the darker varieties (probably in keeping with her views on the force).
Get it right, people. Professor Jukes obviously knows a speed suit when he sees one. It’s great for fascistas and children alike.
The Republican image consultant is having fun playing Dress-Me-Up-Palin. Her look today is very Norma Kamali circa 1983, or very Airstrip One, 1984 [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kY_oRgU-oRM ].
The Alexis Carrington Board Room look can’t be far away. I hope they rented Bette Midler’s “Big Business.” The 80s are back, people. Huzzah!
If she is Darth Palin, then McCain is Senator Palpatine, who then becomes chancellor, and then in the interest of galactic peace, declares himself Emperor.
Oh man, I just geeked myself.
I’m sure she’s wearing a “Promise Ring” with that ensemble.
Since Star Wars happen a long long time ago, this is retro and thus considered hip. Imperial-chic is the new style, get you riding pants, high necked shirts, and space lasers now before you look like one of the unfashionable rubes that will be the first against the wall.

Bad clothes, maybe. But check out her beautiful tan!
Governor Palin. I recognized her foul stench when she was brought onboard the campaign.
Snark break…
I’m listening to Olbermann and Maddow yukking it up about how “McCain invented the Blackberry.” He didn’t say that. His adviser said McCain’s work on the Senate Commerce Committee as the champion of telecommunications helped to create the Blackberry. I once thought Olbermann was the sane voice, the brave voice who would call out the prez. I thought Maddow was a smart commentator. But to play Fox News games to pander to the left is just as lame as being Fox News.
Now back to what’s important…Less taxes and more war!!
Now, the MOFF I’d Like to…well.
DarkSynergy: Sarah Palin’s going to blow everyone on the planet? Wait, what?
The Helvetica Scenario: Are you saying like Obama, that she stinks like a fish?
Interesting that the pundits didn’t want to go there.
What was that Blue Oyster Cult song?
At least she will put a tanning bed in the Death Star.
Maybe Sarah Palin could wear one of those funny pilgrim hats. You see, we now have her on tape saying that an Arican witch-hunter ‘prayed’ her into office. You got to see it to believe. I’ve been blogging. http://twocanpete.blogspot.com/
Join me Track, I’m your mother, let your anger go and we can rule the empire.
Delicious: Sorry, I’m just a regular kind of nerd, not a rock nerd. I was quoting Star Wars.
Delicious: I’ve been hearing this story today as well. I was under the impression that the guy said here’s the miracle John McCain made happen and then held up his Blackberry. Do you know where I could find the full account of what he said?
does she shave her coochie, because I want a bush in the white house
irisheyes: If the story gets cycled that Gore says he invented the internet, why not McCain inventing the Blackberry? Turnabout’s fair play, even a decade removed.
irisheyes: This isn’t comprehensive, but it includes the key quote:
http://www.politico.com/blogs/jonathanmartin/0908/HoltzEakin_McCain_helped_create_BlackBerry.html
The Helvetica Scenario: I appreciate the urge to fuck’em over however we can…but there’s so much legitimate bullshit to call I don’t think there’s a need to exploit a misstatement if that’s what it was. But if the guy said here’s the thing McCain invented and then held up a Blackberry- I say run with it.
The Helvetica Scenario: Oh, I’m a SW nerd (loved the first two movies). Just decided to play off the stench reference.
And ladies (the 3 that post here), no offense meant. Up close and personal is one of my fave activities. Oh shit. tmi
NERRRRRRDS
rocktonsammy: I think that is explained on the McCain web site.
sanantonerose: That hurts.
Delicious: Eh. It could go either way there.
Delicious: i’m watching rachel talk about troopergate. that ’smile while rome is burning’ schtick only works on the tubes. i think that is the definition of snark.
Delicious: shave baby shave
Delicious: oh yeah, that should clear things up……….
Delicious: there are many of us X chromosomes here.
but yeah, three ladies.
Somebody shoot me now. Night.
ladymacbeth: Shall we take a head count? I’m one!
irisheyes: lady or X chromosome?
i’m an X…
the other not so much. in spite of, you know, my name.
ladymacbeth: I’d say lady out in the real world..which is why I like to come here and make dick jokes.
The Helvetica Scenario: I guess McCain decided he needed a MILF to “hold his leash,” wokka wokka.
Darth Cheney sticking his lips on the pig

Hah! Sears joke!
InsidiousTuna: Not bad that pun was.
Is anyone else completely sick of Carly Fiorino acting as the SEXISM POLICE? From MSNBC on Carly’s opinion of the SNL Fey/Poehler sketch: “The portrait was very dismissive of the substance of Sarah Palin, and so in that sense, they were defining Hillary Clinton as very substantive, and Sarah Palin as totally superficial,” McCain advisor Carly Fiorina told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell on Monday. “I think that continues the line of argument that is disrespectful in the extreme, and yes I would say sexist.”
WTF?!?!
Delicious: Yea, but dont we get to taunt them a l.i.t.t.l.e bit for how they treated Al Gore about his internet legislation?
Just a bit of karma for the rabid right wing? It is out of our hands…
Democratica: Someone should news flash Carly, they WERE ABSOLUTELY defining Hillary Clinton as very substantive, and Sarah Palin as totally superficial. And Guv’ner Palin has done nothing to prove them wrong thus far, so it’s a fair portrait. Dead-on accurate to pretty much everyone except the McCain campaign. Sexist? Hardly.
It’s called Akris couture you misogynistic philistine.
She’s like Bush when he was the yell king, except she has
both breasts and balls. Score Palin 2, Bush the usual 0.
I have an idea for a new Sarah Palin sit-com, I’ll call it “That’s My Bush”.
What, it’s been done? O.K., how about a religious comedy? I’ll call it
“The Burning Bush”, with John McCain as Methuselah.
By the way, what ever happened to boskolives?
Another fine portrait of Palin:
http://www.geocities.com/clarkanimations/SouthPark05-KylesMom.gif
Er… I don’t think she’d wear a bear suit. Her supporters would gun her down via aircraft.
She should probably do the world a favor and strap on a chastity belt, though.
InsidiousTuna: Are you in a bad mood today, or what?
Please, note:Palin, bless her Barbie-Doll-mindless-fashionista soul (as we say in the South) knows just enough to wear Dark clothing after Labor Day!! (see ref. Jon Stewart, Daily Show: Laura Bush in white pant suit) — no light colored togs post-first Monday in Sept., kids!!
And unfortunately, that’s about the extent of Ms. Palin’s knowledge/or care to know area— Buckle your seat belts, we’re in for a bumpy ride, kids! –:-(
soon she’ll tell the inuit how she almost became vp. they’ll be thinkin’, “another wasilla drunken skank dream”.
a thousand years from now they will tell stories around the campfire how, dances-with-moose, built a great bridge to the land of the fog.
Will the audience convene at one fifteen
outside Wasilla Town Hall where we will be…

What kind of snowbilly sepratist pin or alien communications device does she wear. Call her out on this Stefanapolis!
Despite everything that has been said, I decided to put lipstick on a pig,
and to my amazement it transmogrified into a beautiful giant butterfly,
filled with love and compassion for everyone.
The first woman VP candidate for the GOP and suddenly they’re the champions of anti-sexism? Huh?
Y’know, if Sarah Palin actually decided to wear a bear PROOF suit for the rest of the campaign, I might actually vote for her.
SeminoleInDior: Not Cindy, though. She lerves her $300K convention outfits, now, doesn’t she?
HedonismBot: except his mom hasn’t accepted the Lord Jebus Christ as her personal saviour. As a Jew, she is doomed to hellfire 4-ever.
Delicious: No no, Cheney is the Emperor, the secret leader of the Republisith Party. Darth Dubya, Darth WALNUTS!, Darth Condoleezza and all the other Darths are but his minions. Barry Skywalker will strike them all down with his hopesaber.
OK, late to the party here, but I have two x chromosomes and am a Star Wars geek, so I’m sorry I missed out. I actually had a dream last night that things were different in ‘Empire’ and that Princess Leia ended up marrying Lando - what does this mean?
Democratica: Since when have republicans been so concerned with sexism? Where are they on equal pay for women? They demonize single motherhood (except for Sarah’s spawn and are against women’s reproductive rights. Republicans haven’t done crap for women evah, and now since they put this Palin in they are champions of feminism. Nice try.
As a woman, I believe that feminism thrives when we have the ability to accurately judge the accomplishments of women without being charged with sexism. During the primaries I was called sexist for saying that Clinton did not have the judgment to be president given her record. I think Palin is a billionth worse than Clinton, because of her lack of ethics, judgment, intellect, and for her poor record of governing a state that needs little of it. Equality is being able to take hits like the boys.
Sexism,bah. I was a female in computing back in the 1980s, I know sexism and this isn’t sexism.
Don’t say “what’s his name” if you know good and goddamned well what his name is.
“… do you know the Palin proverb that tells us revenge is a dish that is best served cold? (pause) It is very cold in Alaska.”
Aurelio: It’s the quiverfull way.
