If you haven’t yet read this latest Palin interview with conservative hack Hugh Hewitt, we have some advice: do not bother reading her answers, at all — only the questions. Unlike mean sexist Charlie Gibson, fiery “gotcha journalist” Katie Couric, or any other interviewer that Palin has made respectable, Hewitt’s questions are FAIR to the nice lady. Our favorites include, “Governor, your candidacy has ignited extreme hostility, even some hatred on the left and in some parts of the media. Are you surprised? And what do you attribute this reaction to?” and “Have you and Todd heard from your son? And how is it on your nerves having your son deployed?” [Hugh Hewitt]

Is reporting a new event in the Special Olympics?
This dude looks like Stuart Smalley.
He needs some Blingee
That looks like a face I’ve punched before….
Applause for the alt text.
Finely or finally?
[re=117238]ForTheTurnstiles[/re]: Sort of looks like he was carved out of cream cheese.
If pictures could tell the whole story, I’d say he takes from the rear.
That’s Finelly
How does it feel to have your son deployed? Are you worried about him being all alone in hostile territory, surrounded by terrorists, arabs, and Biden’s son, Beau?
Joe Sixpack: In the Drunk Tank.
Do you think that sometimes your extreme awesomeness works against you?
HH: Governor, would it hurt terribly if stuck my nose another inch up your ass?
[re=117253]Delicious[/re]: Well, it’s something like that! Thanks I am, what is it, retarded.
Its Phil Donohue with a face lift.
Smoooooch!
This guy looks like a guy I knew in high school who would put soft cheese in his ass.
Hugh Hewitt, Male Prostitute.
HH: Governor, you mentioned the people who are struggling right now. Have you and your husband, Todd, ever faced tough economic times where you had to sit around a kitchen table and make tough choices?
SP: Well gosh Hugh, yes! Things got really tight when I realized that I couldn’t support Bristol’s meth habit and pay for our electric bills at the same time! Tanning beds are expensive y’know!
How do you respond to your critics: with righteous indignation at their lack of respect, or with bravery and courage in the face of baseless attacks? Or perhaps both?
Can you tell us how you juggle running for (vice-)president and raising your special needs newborn whom every one totally knows is yours an no one but yours and who has not been seen since the convention? Please tell us all about parenthood and how you and The First Dude are the best parents in the world. Universe even.
“If you don’t mind me asking, how do you get your hair so shiny? Leave-in conditioner? It looks so soft! May I touch it?”
[re=117259]Jim Newell[/re]: [ahem] that would be “Hewitted.”
That is a face you see when your abductor takes off his lady-skin mask and preps his butcher knife in the back of the ice-cream truck.
Thanks, Wonkette, for yet more nightmares.
[re=117249]Jobbotch[/re]: It’s perfect. His face is just so hopeful.
“so there again, John McCain’s got some great ideas on granting authority, for instance, to the FDIC, making sure that our deposits are insured. He wants to increase that deposit insurance cap of all of our money, our savings, from $100,000 dollars up to $250,000 dollars, so that families like mine, so that we don’t have to worry about our money being safe or not under FDIC. ”
I didn’t know that was his idea!!!
[re=117277]ihasasad[/re]: gee, I wish I had to worry about things like that. Shucks.
[re=117250]tonashideska[/re]: Proofread much?????????
Q: You’re a genuine Conservative and I’m a tool. Why am I smiling?
[re=117277]ihasasad[/re]: It is now. Because some ignorant loser just said so.
Also, if she says Joe Six Pack one more time i’m going to commit a fucking murder.
[re=117252]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: Not only does he take it from the rear, that goofy grin indicates he is being anally pleasured when it was shot.
Extreme doofus.
I can just hear Tina Fey giving those answers. Jeez that was painful to read.
He is what I imagined Lindsey Graham’s asspucker looked like.
Q: Why are you so awesome?
A: I am, ain’t I? Shucks.
[re=117243]bignutz[/re]: Just 4 u: http://www.geocities.com/nullacct/hugh_bling.gif
[re=117289]Cogito Ergo Bibo[/re]: I don’t understand why she has to use such incredibly long sentances. Perhaps she is soothed by the sound of her own voice.
Imagine the Brouhaha had Ms. Palin not taken her husband’s name…
[re=117294]Sussemilch[/re]: I hafta stop clicking on those before I have a seizure.
WHERE IS HIZ TOP LIP????
[re=117294]Sussemilch[/re]: omg…you are a fucking blingee genius
[re=117294]Sussemilch[/re]: Somehow, it’s so right.
[re=117252]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: I’d say any which way he can.
Now THATS what Tucker Carlson would call a fine interview. Do you see the difference, Jon Stewart?
Is this interview for the next issue of Tigerbeat, and will we find out Palin’s favorite color? I’d like to guess red, but she could surprise me with crimson.
“HH: You really are great, aren’t you.
SP: Oh, why thank you, oh thank you so much
HH: How fantastic is John McCain?
SP: Oh he’s pretty swell, I suppose!
HH: If I kill my wife, or have her killed, can I bone you?
SP: Well ya know, ya’ad have to talk to Todd about thaaat. Maybe if you start a business with ‘em, ya know, he’s a cool dood.
HH: Isn’t George Bush swell? I’d like to bone him too.”
Definitely a catcher, all these years.
Now that’s what Tucker Carlson would call fine
My favorite question: “Good luck on Thursday night.”
Always the mark of a solid journalist, wishing one candidate good luck. As opposed to those hateful “gotcha” questions, like “What is your position on the economic crisis?”
[re=117294]Sussemilch[/re]: I think it’s completely awesome that everyone on this post so far who talked about it agrees: Hugh Hewitt slides down the polls of other fire stations.
[re=117257]Monkey[/re]: I thought anal was not required.
Anyway, I’m still trying to figure out why Jim posted a picture of a sex toy with this item.
[re=117306]WIDTAP[/re]: Is she lookin at his pee pee in your avatar?
i tried to read it but i had an allergic reaction not too far in… so wait… she’s joe six-pack? no wait… she’s gonna be joe’s man in w-ton? she’s a transsekshwal? do the other repubs know bout this?… i muss be missunnerstandin… anyway, duzz she drink six-packs? duzz she know that much beer in one sittin will fuck you up? bet she duzz… maybe that explains some thangs…
[re=117311]Ima Douchebag[/re]: Apostrophe impaired, am I.
It’s A-OK for sister Sarah to tie womanhood’s uterise in a knot, but how dare we mock her faith. What is it, like, 34 more days of this fucking twaddle? My liver’s got vericose veins already.
[re=117290]Tommy Says Soooo[/re]: You actually spent time trying to imagine Lindsey Graham’s asspucker?
“Governor, your candidacy has ignited extreme hostility, even some hatred on the left and in some parts of the media. Are you surprised? And what do you attribute this reaction to?”
On the left? I’m a tweener and I hate that bitch 4evah.
Oh yes! It’s Michael McKean as a Republican commentator… ok wouldn’t THAT be so awesome to have the Spinal Tap/Break Like the Wind/Best in Show people do a send up of this campaign season?!?!
From the look of that picture Hugh’s had more than one dick in his mouth. Har.
How come Drudge rates a mention and the Wonketteers are left out in the cold?
We need to ratchet it up a bit folks, lest our bile go the way of Karl Rove.
As Original Wonkette AMC once said, this proves that it is possible to give a woman a blowjob.
This is even funnier when you consider that Hugh was riding Romney’s dick so hard all through the primaries. It had to kill him to see her get the VP spot that should have gone to Mittens.
[re=117333]Q2[/re]: Hugh shore do got a purdy mouth.
TODO: Hugh needs a blingee makeover.
Holy shit we live in a fundamentally retarded society that i am sure MANY read that transcript with self-affirming glee. Sheesh, if we elect this ass-tard, on the heels of the current ass-tard, we may deserve what is coming…..
Read this, and weep. She has the acknowledgment!
I know what Americans are going through. Todd and I, fuck, we’re going through that right now even as we speak, which may put me again kind of on the outs of those Washington elite who don’t like the idea of just an everyday working class American running for such an office. But yeah, there’s been a lot of times that Todd and I have had to figure out how we were going to pay for health insurance. We’ve gone through periods of our life here with paying out of pocket for health coverage until Todd and I both landed a couple of good union jobs. Early on in our marriage, we didn’t have health insurance, and we had to either make the choice of paying out of pocket for catastrophic coverage or just crossing our fingers, hoping that nobody would get hurt, nobody would get sick. So I know what Americans are going through there. And you know, even today, Todd and I are looking at what’s going on in the stock market, the relatively low number of investments that we have, looking at the hit that we’re taking, probably $20,000 dollars last week in his 401K plan that was hit. I’m thinking Jesus, the rest of America, they’re facing the exact same shit that we are. We understand what the problems are. It’s why I have all the faith in the world that John McCain is the right top of any ticket at this point to get us through these challenges. It’s a good balanced ticket where he’s got the experience, and he’s got the bipartisan approach that it’s going to take to get us through these challenges. And I have the acknowledgement and the experience of going through what America is going through.
[re=117346]HuskyMescan[/re]: Please See [re=117294]Sussemilch[/re]:
[re=117329]slomojoe[/re]: It all started with Charlie Christ and the Veep selection process. Little did I know we would get Zima Princess Warrior who is more fecund than the Bangladeshi couple whose baby Walnuts stole.
“Have you and Todd heard from your son? And how is it on your nerves having your son deployed? Are all the mean liberals and media and sane people calling you a giant twit in order to make it harder for you to deal with that separation, until you cry yourself to sleep at night from their rabid cruelty? Does John McCain hold you in his strong, masculine, prisoner-of-war arms when you weep, the way I wish he’d hold me?”
a google for “hugh bling” turned up this delightful ebay item: Iced OUT CZ HUGH JACKMAN PHOTO BLING Charm Dog Tag
Lisa: “Mr. Burns, your campaign has the momentum of a runaway freight train. Why are you so popular?”
I’m afraid I don’t have time for a Blingee HH contest. Anyone else want to give it a go? Well, correction, I’m going to smoke a couple and reasess my priorities. So, maybe I’ll do one later, possibly too good an opportunity to pass up.
So — what odds are you giving on being Assistant Asshole of the US of Americastan? And what odds of your baby getting blown to hell in Iraq? What arbitrage possibilities do you see? Long puts? Short calls? Spread strategies? Squeezes? C’mon Sarah, we’re in agony here.
[re=117356]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: the link is dead. some goddam librel prolly took it down! stupid librels!
This reminds me to watch election returns on Fox. I want to see them put their fists through the drywall and eat their dead.
this is what happens when you get someone who is not trying to play “stump the candidate” Dont worry, I like a pissed off Sarah becuase your making her mad. GOP shock and awe starts tomorrow.
[re=117246]GDTRFB[/re]: I think I kicked him in the gut after you dropped him.
Did anyone else catch that she thinks she is working class?
I don’t think working class makes $80,000 per year plus $16,000 in per diem.
He’s making the face my 2 year old daughter makes when she’s constipated and trying to squeeze one out.
I had been wondering whatever happened to Gregory Marmalard after he got out of prison…
That terrifying rictus is straight outta Uncanny Valley
[re=117246]GDTRFB[/re]: I think that guy blew me in a gay bar a few years ago. I’d recognize that silky white hair anywhere.
Looks like Tim Gunn if he were a mean drunk.
[re=117368]JadedDIssonance[/re]: I CAN HAS???
Closet. Case.
This picture, my god. Dog licking peanut butter of balls
[re=117263]El Topo[/re]: In Hugh Hewitt’s ass or his own?
[re=117377]Borat[/re]: Hey hey bitter borat, smoke a couple and see how much time you have on your hands

“Even though I got third in the 100 meter dash, everyone’s a winner in the Special Olympics.”
I love the reply before mine from S.Cullen Bonz..says it all while the mother and Aunt of special needs children cuts Special Olynpics funds in half…Plus I saw this guy on TV and he is a sick joke
[re=117452]DailyComicsReview[/re]: He looks like Thomas Hayden Church in costume for his role as a corn-holing, boy-lovin’ evangelist preacher. Don’t he?
Y’all makin’ me ashayme to be a gay. Again.
Good work.
That’s the face of a child-toucher if ever I’ve seen one.
Is that really what the guy looks like? I don’t want to make fun of him if his mom couldn’t afford her rape kit or something…
Just another clown in the DSM — Down Stream Media.
If you drew a line on his forehead, he’d look just like Walnuts’ penis. Fuck Hugh.
“HH: Last question, Governor. Have you and Todd heard from your son? And how is it on your nerves having your son deployed?
SP: That little stinker [Traxxk], I guess he’s called his girlfriend a couple of times, but can you believe he hasn’t called his momma yet?”
Firat, identify his father, even though that’s not the Alaskan way.
[re=117683]TeddyS[/re]: Actually, if he had green hair, he’d be dead on as the Joker.
This is who they’ll ask to moderate the VP debates, as there’s proof Gwen Ifill is black and therefore not to be trusted.
Okay, Wonkette, I’m new here and probably in no position to make demands, but NEVER include a link to a wingnut website again. See link. Must click. Must read. Now confused and sad. Must wash brain.
This is from the comments on the Palin-Couric interview, on CBS’ website, and the author identifies themselves as “gnat007″:
“I recently interviewed Sarah Palin. Here’s how it went.
Me: What day is it today?
Sarah Palin: There are 7 days in a week. There are many days. We could choose from many different days.
Me: Yes, but what day is today?
Sarah Palin: Today could be one of 7 days. And I have a great appreciation for how beautifully the week is set up. I mean, our question might even be rephrased to ask if we haven’t lost sight of the bigger picture, where the day is just a small part of what constitutes a week, which would be yet another part of what is known as the month.
Me: I just want to know what day it is, specifically.
Sarah Palin: Any and all of them that have come and gone. I have always been comfortable with any and all of them. My point, however, is that it all comes back to the year. I am someone who believes that the voiceless can count on me to represent the calendar in an unbiased way, from within one of the highest offices of government. After all, I have always made myself clear, and I am not apologetic about who I am. There are 30 days in a month and 52 weeks in a year. I was born in the 20th century, and this might already be the 21st , who knows? Here, our sense of the space-time continuum has come to be challenged by those who insist they must know what day of the week we are presently at. And I think it needs to be addressed in concrete terms for the good of the American people. Thank you.”
