THE BAD LADY

  • PALIN FOOLISHLY SAYS WORDS AGAIN: We’re getting used to this routine where once a day, usually mid-afternoon, a spasm of death shoots up our right arm after reading the latest Sarah Palin platitude. Is this what cancer feels like, cancer people? Today she pretended to care about Jews, and she went all in: “I will continue to call for sustained action to prevent Iranian President Ahmadinejad from getting these weapons that he wants for a second holocaust.” Good god, she is an actual tumor. Does she know nothing? If she ever *listened* to Ahmadinejad, she’d know that there never was a first holocaust. [ABC News]

  1. Usually single-cell organisms can’t talk, so this kind of a situation doesn’t happen.

  2. DoctorCulturae says at 3:04 pm, September 19th, 2008

    Lewis Black just had a conniption.

  3. And hence forth she was known as Saint Palin Protector of Jews.

  4. Like pouring oil on the troubled fires. I mean troubled waters, waters that are, you know, troubled.

    “Her attendance was news to us, and this was never billed to us as a partisan political event,” said Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines in a statement to reporters on Wednesday. “Senator Clinton will therefore not be attending.”

    However, if you have a tub of Jello, Senator Clinton might change her mind.

    Boy, it sure sucked when Hitler had nukes.

  7. Oh, youbetcha yah, a second hallahcahssst ohnly this tiiime, it’ll be with nuklear wehpans dontchaknow, ya.

  8. In light of the small development of global financial Armageddon, Sarah’s audience has dwindled to several paunchy NRA granpas rubbing one out to her mellifluous tones and one old moose. And even he has better things to think about these days, like why he fell 10 points in the polls since Monday.

  9. She just pissy cuz Ahmedinejad would kill them before Jesus does.

  10. surfacenoise76 says at 3:07 pm, September 19th, 2008

    Did she open by saying, “Are any of you Jews For Jesus?”

  11. ManchuCandidate says at 3:10 pm, September 19th, 2008

    Sarah, Where’s your army now?

  12. BobLoblawLawBlog says at 3:10 pm, September 19th, 2008

    Thank Jeebus Sarah Palin is here to make the poe wittul Joozees feew aw bettew…till her church condemns them to burn.

  13. I used to think, “Why do all these aw-shucks flyover hayseed politicians go balls-out in their insane support and violent rhetoric for Israel and Jews, when the votes they’re pandering for are in towns that have never even had a Jewish resident.” Then I figured it out: Something like 1/2 of US Christians believe in the Rapture, that Jesus will suck them up to heaven like a vacuum cleaner of joy while all us Wonkette readers scream and twitch in eternal hellfire. AND, one of the basic prerequisites for the Rapture is that Israel, birthland of Jesus, reclaim the whole Middle East. So, basically a scarily large portion of the population are just starving for Israel to turn their neighbours into glass shards so that Jesus can suck them up.

    Holocaust? In what respect, Charlie

  15. Weeping Jesus says at 3:12 pm, September 19th, 2008

    Who effin’ cares?!? Today’s Gallup Poll shows McCain in absolute, irreversible freefall! Can you say Landslide? I can. Watch: LandslideLandslideLandslideLandslideLandslideLandslideLandslideLandslideLandslideLandslideLandslide
    LandslideLandslideLandslideLandslideLandslideLandslideLandslide

  16. Sarah’s speech writers are brilliant. I am not kidding. They know where all the hot buttons are and how to push them, which is what US politics is about. Say “holocaust” and Americans–especially Jews–salivate. Bill Maher has some innarresting comments on this here.

  17. 4tehlulz: Ha!

  18. Weeping Jesus says at 3:14 pm, September 19th, 2008

    You realize, of course, that Ahmadinejad was one of the first names Palin learned to pronounce after the handlers started working on shoring up her foreign policy understanding. Now she looks for any opportunity to mention him, no matter how irrelevant or misplaced the context.

  19. obfuscator says at 3:14 pm, September 19th, 2008

    Not to worry, Israel. Sarah Palin’s on your side!!

  20. Gopherit v2.0 says at 3:14 pm, September 19th, 2008

    4tehlulz: You gotta have Jews if you want an Armageddon.

  21. thatonegirlsays says at 3:14 pm, September 19th, 2008

    You guys are missing the point! Her inability to come across as intelligent or aware of current events makes her so endearing to the numbnuts who ultimately decide the elections. They don’t want them thar eeeleetests, they want someone RETARDED.

    She gets it.

  22. Oh, the humanity

    http://amdahl.physics.purdue.edu/povray/lake.jpg

    (do I get extra credit for a German image?)

    I hear there is a large Diamond District in Wasilla.

  23. Fun quote:

    “Palin linked electoral success to prayer of Kenyan witchhunter:

    “Her June 8 speech was to mark the graduation of students from the Wasilla Assembly of God’s Masters’ Commission, which, as Pastor Ed Kalins explains, believes Alaska will be the refuge for American evangelicals upon the coming “End of Days”.

    http://timesonline.typepad.com/uselections/2008/09/palin-linked-el.html

  24. As a Jew, I’ve long known that when you have a christian for a friend,
    you don’t need any enemies.
    But in the Palin example above, a good enema might just hit the spot.

  25. mattbolt: This is a strange mangling of the rapture, but you’ve got it more or less correct.

    There are a bunch of prerequisites for Jesus to come and suck us up to heaven. All Jews have to convert to Christianity — which is why Mormons wait for them to die and then convert them. There are groups that have figured out that if there aren’t any Jews, then this will probably count as well, but they aren’t very large in number.

    The third temple has to be built on Temple Mount in jerusalem. Right now there is a mosque there, so some fundies are hoping that a bomb will accidentally fall on it.

    And finally, a red cow has to be born.

  26. Chicken Smack says at 3:18 pm, September 19th, 2008

    I’m curious… is the word “holocaust” exclusive for one nation?

    We have “hurricanes”, while the Chinese have “typhoons”. We have “tornadoes”, Oz (or Kansas on acid) had “twisters”. We experience “turr”, other countries experience “lib’ration”

  27. she can see iran if she stands on a stepstool.

  28. AngryBlakGuy says at 3:20 pm, September 19th, 2008

    …everytime this woman goes off script she reverts back to her psycho fundamentalist roots. Five bucks says that she uses the “Rapture” to answers a question during the VP debates!

  29. Hooray For Anything says at 3:20 pm, September 19th, 2008

    mattbolt: Actually, there’s an email the evangelicals are throwing around saying that they love Palin precisely because she will bring about the Rapture. So, bully for her. In this way, she’s actually good for the Jews because as a supporter of Jews for Jesus, she’s trying to help us out.

    Holocaust 2.0: Extra-Nukey Edition

    Who is the poor PR guy who drew duty for today’s whoopsy-daisy? I’m going to lay money on the explanation going something like this (since neither she nor McGrampy are EVER wrong): “She was completely correct. Hitler caused the first holocaust. She knew that nukes weren’t involved. She, like the rest of our poor nuke a-scared citizens, are worried that this time it will be of the nukey nature.”

    Grampy, can I haz press job, now?

  31. echoman2000 says at 3:22 pm, September 19th, 2008

    spencer: i’m sucking on a RED COW as we speak. who knew?

  32. Palin has definitely gone to the Gabriel Schwartz school of foreign policy.
    Less Taxes, More War!

    …what the hell do they call those people that families would hire to “de-brainwash” their kids in the 70’s when they joined a cult? Because she needs one of those, BADLY!

    Culty-Detoxing! I grew up in a fundamentalist christian home and joined the whole shebang till I went to college. Now I still follow a few of the ‘ol tenets like Love your neighbor as yourself…but I work in non-profit community development now and these people seem like all-too-vivid childhood nightmares. I think they’ve taken a beautiful idea about treating people with love and respect and twisted it for utter personal gain. Religious nuts suck.

  49. This article makes me remember how much I love comments on abcnews.com:

    Iran’s government would not give nuclear weapons or other WMDs to terrorist groups. It jsut does not make sense. Terrorist are NOT trustworthy.

  52. Wait, she can say “Ahmadinejad”? Well I’ll be damned.

  60. spencer: I’m so impressed these people have internet access/are capable of turning on the computer, discerning the general content of an article and writing utter gibberish beneath it.

  61. DoctorCulturae says at 3:49 pm, September 19th, 2008

    On a serious note which, given this topic can’t help but deepen the goofiness, there is wingnut meme in Red states that intimates Hopesman as the antiChrist. I said goofy didn’t I? That’s what all that Hopey-is-the-Messiah stuff was about. For them he’s the FALSE messiah doncha know. Nevertheless keeping this story floating around tends to play into their belief, i.e. the rapture el al… it moves the base. It’s just another version of the southern strategy.

    Team Obama best continue to be careful with this. Any condescension in the debates may look logical to us elites, but to swing voters might spell a slip.

  62. nietzscheprojectile says at 3:50 pm, September 19th, 2008

    I’m really not so concerned about the rapture. Why would I want to get sucked up into the heavenly lobby only to be forced to hang out with these people. I’ll take my chances on planet earth. Also, does she know that there’s a large population of jews living in Iran, peacefully? Oh wait, I’m letting facts get in the way again.

  63. In the most literal, or etymological, sense, the world ‘holocaust’ means to ‘burn whole.’ This ancient meaning was used for those sacrifices to the gods where an entire animal, often a calf, was sacrificed. This explains … OMG!!!! THOSE TITS ARE HYPNOTIC!!!! SPANK ME HOCKEYMOM!!!!!!! LUBE ME UP AND DRILL ME YOU FILTHY HOT BITCH!!!!!

  72. There is no way that the Dems conspired to keep her out of that protest. They have been too damned busy in Alaska trying to frame her and her hubby for trooper-gate.

  87. My ears are still bleeding after starting a Palin video clip in which she was at her shrillest while the volume was all the way up.

    Speaking of YouTube, please use the following search words:

    Joe Biden and Wooster Ohio
    Joe Biden and Maumee Ohio
    Joe Biden and Football Hall of Fame

    Watch out Jill Biden, I’m in love.

  88. Ahmedinajad, Bush, and McCain are basically the same smelly turds. They spew their respective fundie bullshit/national security fears because it’s the only way they can get a measurable approval rating.

  89. Is it possible that Palin really doesn’t know what an earmark is? Either that or she is a pathological (and very inept) liar. It just seems that most pathological liars are much better at it than she is, so I’m looking for another possibility, like complete political retardation, to explain this.

  92. Why all the confusion about Palin’s ignorant gibberish?

    #1 Watch Jesus Camp - the Movie
    #2 Come to a full understanding -the kind that sears into the depths of your pickled brain- that Palins church is a 4th Wave Church that shares leaders- teachers- trainers from this little hotbed of militaristic inbreds.
    #3 Come to the horrified conclusion that for these nutjobs the sooner the Apocalypse comes- the sooner they will get to kill non-christians and libruls at will, and the faster they will meet Jesus and be happy.

    Now - put the knife (gun, hangman’s noose, gas stove) down - slowly.

  94. HomoPolitico isn’t writing in Hebrew, he’s writing in Juedisch, the old Jewish dialect of German. Its the language that had been spoken by the victims of the Shoah in Eastern Europe, but spoken only by very few people in Israel, and certainly not by anyone in the government there. Most certainly not by the settlers, who viewed it as the language of diaspora, as opposed to Hebrew, the language of Isaiah, and the “reborn Israel”. But, as is clear from his posts, Yiddish is a great language for insults and one liners (Hebrew doesn’t even have swear words! They had to import them from Arabic and English).

  95. Oscar Folsom Cleveland says at 1:13 pm, September 22nd, 2008

    More good news: Syrah Plain is meeting with world leaders!! Some old Jewish fart named Heinrich Kissinger; an Irish musician (Donovan?); Exxon CEO and president of Afhanistan, Lee Raymond; the governor of Georgia; and the president of Irak, General Berateus.

    I feel sooooo good about this Plain woman ascending to the throne of global American capitalism. It’s too bad that her friend Senator Walnuts! is dying but I can’t think of a more compitent and skiled politishun than Caibou Sally to run the economy and the world.
