Wonkette
We will miss this clown, Sarah Palin, when she’s sent back to Alaska. Ha, not really. Oh, and after the jump, this discombobulating thing from Harry Shearer.
Uhhh:
If you’re familiar with Shearer’s Le Show, you won’t be too horrified by this TERRIBLE CREEPY MUSIC. In fact, you may find it “soothing.” Ha, that is Mrs. Shearer, Judith Owen, doing this very terrifying Palin Twin Peaks thing from some lost issue of Incredibly Strange Music. Thanks to Gawker, we think.

She’s going to Michigan to show John McCain that laid-off auto workers can drool too, and also they shouldn’t be written off because deep-down they are meth-addicted redneck hunters that just wanna get her out in the woods on a snow-mobile.
I missed where she said ’stinking corpse’. wtf?
Gwen Ifell was very professional as debate moderator, even offering Sarah extra tries at the questions she missed. The skulduggery was that effin editor who bleeped Biden every time he said, “Sarah, you ignorant slut.” Every time!
junkscience: When Ifill asked each candidate what they’d do should they suddenly become president and what would be different about a Biden or Palin administration from an Obama or McCain one — the home decorator said she’d get rid of the stinking corpse in the Oval Office.
Oh gosh, those pending Monday morning FEC and FCC complaint jokes are so ribald!
High fives all around at Trader Vac’s, er, Vic’s!
SayItWithWookies: Mary Jo, Senator SCUBA. Senator SCUBA, Mary Jo. Everyone have their PFD for the weekend? Oldsmobiles away!
Thank you. The Letterman clips are a hoot. But I really like the musical rendition.
I have not yet heard anyone from any side express any concern about the most dangerous possibility if Governor Palin is elected to national office.
Q:What do you call that annoying piece of flesh around Sarah Palin’s vagina?
A: Governor.
Letterman will single handedly lose the election for lying McCain. No one messes with him.
junkscience: She was talking about Israel.
Hah, Mistress Palin, miss smarty drawers, I checked. I continue to be an American. My “White Flag of Surrender” is at the dry cleaner’s.
You lose.

Yeargh. I’m sooooo glad I didn’t watch the fiasco in realtime. These fun recaps are much easier to take! However, I’m still befuddled as to how exactly I’m going to ignore all media when she becomes president.
junkscience: Don’t listen to iwillsavethispatient — I was just making my previous answer up. To be honest, when Gwen Ifill asked what the $700 billion bailout was for, Palin said “It’s basically to embalm a stinking corpse so Joe Sixpack doesn’t know how gosh darn fucked up things are until, oh, January of 2013.”
OMG —
Also, did you guys see Bill M. on HBO? Chritiana A. started out strong, but those 2 gay guys took over. Needless to say, I CANNOT believe that ordinary people aren’t paying attention to this train wreck…. Hopey-Wan-Kenobi, you’re my only hope! (and I have to add, minus the stupid honeybuns on each side of her damn hairdo–altho, Jesus knows, Bible Spice is worse) —
Okay, a Gawker moment: Did Anyone fail to see Brian Williams’s (bless his heart, and doggone it!) shoes? Sheesh! Any respectable NewsPerson knows, keep the Bottom of the Shoesy looking like you JUST BOUGHT ‘EM — damn, Brian! din’t yore foks taght you nuthin’????
d4g33z: Don’t worry — by that point you probably won’t be able to afford a TV.
wankette: And whaddyaknow — just the other day I was thinking that what this blog needs is more non-sequiturial coded Chappaquiddick references. Hell, Kennedy’s got brain cancer and he can speak in complete sentences. What’s Xena the Helicopter Huntress’ excuse?
Thanks to Gawker? At this point, it’s like thanking vapor.
villageatrois: ah, you have hit the nit(wit) on the head-ish - Sarah Palindrone is actually Emily Litella. What’s all this about conserving America’s natural race horses? There are other kinds of horses- there are ponies and stallions and…
SayItWithWookies: “complete sentences” eh? Well, about time they FINALLY picked Uncle Steady up for babeslaughter. I mean, between private abortions and private automobiles, like how many Iraqs does that come to, since Ted’s brave Korean War service protecting the hump houses in South Belgium? Maybe Muffy Letterboob can wheel some other falling chunks of the Big Dig in, for Stupid Beanburgh Human Tricks? But I digest beyond the speech cages.

wankette: Does any funny come with that douchiness?

And now, News for the Deaf. “LAST NIGHT, SARAH PALIN DEBATED JOE BIDEN, IN A CLASH OF VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.”
Litela: She’s the Crash of nice residential estates?
Chase: Actually, Emily, she’s Governor of Alaska. She’s the running mate of John McCain.
Litela: Well, if she’s with him, no wonder she’s running late. Do you know he likes to get in helicopters and shoot animals? There’s just no telling what a man like that will do, to a poor defenseless girl, riding in a helicopter in her bikini.
Chase: Actually, Emily, she’s the one who likes to hunt from helicopters.
Litela: Cheddar, you just don’t get it, do you? “Running late” is an effinism. {Snort} Men!
I think I already saw this when I did acid during the debate last night.
“Stundents” for McCain
Haha….the college educated dumb support McCain/Palin.
You know what the McCain campaign actually thinks about Palin in that after the debate, they sent her to the battle ground state of Texas, and put her on FOX news.
Lets face it, most of the intelligence of the McCain campaign (if that is not an oxymoron) is going into making sure that Palin doesn’t have to face a follow up question for the next 30 days.
Always love the Hold Steady samples in the Letterman clips.
John McCain will pay for the next 30 days for his decision to ditch David Letterman with an easily punctured LIE.
For phuck sake, John, Dave and Katie are on the same network!! You don’t think Dave’s people know about your trip to see Couric instead?
I’m Sarah Palin on crack. I like boys!

We (or maybe at this point, just me] can recall when Time published it’s infamous and widely misconstrued “God Is Dead” cover in 1966. The article inside was disturbing, provocative, but not a cartoon portrait of religion.

wankette: This is like reading Ted Casablanca, but methier. Sir or madame, you are hurting my brains.
Wow, that second video was.
When a Soccer Mom winks at Joe SixPack, he doesn’t want her to be a VP, he’s thinking, “oh hey, it would be one heck of a swell deal to get her one heartbeat away, and then drill, drill, drill.”

(There’s a way around the cheese sticking, though– you can construct a hat made out of stuff found under your bed but only if you can manage to wear it for ten hours with absolutely nobody seeing it, you’re not Satan). Likewise, it helps if when you flush your toilet, the water runs in a counterclockwise motion. If it runs in a clockwise motion, you are evil. (You can wear the hat while flushing the toilet, but that doesn’t mean you’re not Satan).

schvitzatura: K-Lo’s House Of Crazy : Supplying unintentional comedy for longer than I care to remember! The best part of this election cycle has been the de-evolution of the right. They’re not even trying anymore. In 2012, thier nominee will be : Inanimate Carbon Rod! Oh, wait. That would be Mittens wouldn’t it?
Lay off the cheerleading, the Letterman clip was cute and humorous, but it wasn’t “ZOMG, Barry won the election times a million!” funny.
But I do admit the “TERRIBLE CREEPY MUSIC” is stuck in my head now.
Letterman makes the morning coffee go down and stay down. But… I have donned my tinfoil chapeau and have a short chicken little ode:
Palin and the Repubs will not go down without unleashing all the tricks in the playbook. Remember James Baker in FL bullying vote counters in 2000? And he was a respectable former SexyO’State. And this was before 9ui11iani. Make no mistake about Palin’s behavior: this is bullying and neo-Darwinism at its finest. They believe they are the fittest. All forms of decorum will be dropped if it doesn’t work for them. Note McImpatient’s scattered behavior and yet his candidacy has not imploded. Why? Because to his supporters it does not matter.
My fellow Demtardians, we have to take them down with numbers of bodies, not logic and facts.
Guess it’s time to start drinking again.
DoctorCulturae: I agree.
Until Hopey is ahead by double digits in every state he needs to win…plus two others, I am not comfortable.
Palin is going wink, smirk, lie and wiggle her hips straight to the White House if we are not vigilant. McCain is a befuddled mess…but she’s the one who’s going to bring out the haters.
Man, the Letterman clip reminds me of that scene in Naked Gun where he is takin’ an endless piss.
hockeymom: Double digits & 2 states indeed.
What more evidence do we need; 8 years of thumbing their nose at everything, a two-faced candidate, his cynical VP pick who behaves like Gidget after too many trips to Starbucks (”I don’t know anything and I’m darn proud of it, doncha know.”)
And “befuddled” yes, but look at Dubya in his many little speeches lately. He’s withering. Who’s watching the store? Where’s VP Darth? What’s Putin or China going to do in the meantime, with our markets all a-skitter?
Sorry, I have got to wrest this tinfoil thing off my head.
I don’t think I can vote for a traditionalist that believes the missionary position is acceptable. I don’t want my president on her back at 3:00 a.m. when THE phone rings.

Bitch just got lost on the way to Free Republic after taking a few (hundred) too many oxycotin and chasing those with the dexatrine she stole from Coulter. The goal was to counteract the Botox thus enabling her to wink a few starbursts of her own. Obviously it failed.
smashtheduck: “wink a few starbursts..” Very nice. Almost had a flashback there myself with that one. And ditto, please do not malign Grandmaster Vonnegut or GM Burroughs.

I bet Romney is drinking these days, Mormon or not.
All of a sudden the Republican nutcases are taking a liking to having a “celebrity” candidate, proudly proclaiming that “She’s a Star!”
Some encouraging news:
I went out for breakfast this morn…afternoon to a truck stop. I go there occasionally because it has decent food, just have to tune out the Cletus, Cooters, and Morons of the Land. On my way out, I spotted a group of elder folks at a table. My eyes caught a prominently displayed Obama button on one of the old ladies. I almost did one of Redd Foxx’s heart attack scenes. “I’m comin’, ‘Lizbeth. This is the big one!”
I even voted Obama in the primary, but here’s what I came away with from the Vice Presidential Debate. No thanks to Katie Couric and Charlie Gibson, Ms. Palin knocks it out of the ballpark. There’s an observation I’d like to make about Democrats though. A faux pas they commit with increased regularity. Now if you don’t like Bozo the clown, if you feel that he’s a particularly bad clown and bad for the country, why then don a Bozo wig, a pair of size 14 shoes, and a rubber nose whenever denouncing Bozo?
If there’s an official uniform of the president, it’s the pastel blue tie, white shirt, and dark suit first popularized by George W. Bush. The color scheme comes from the presidential flag. No other American president made those colors his signature style before George W. Bush. In 2004, Bill Clinton even had his presidential portrait painted wearing George W’s distinctive garb. Although the 1960 Kennedy vs. Nixon debate was televised in black & white, people still argue the significance dark blue vs. grey played during the election.
But there remains no ambiguity about which candidate wore what color (Kennedy, blue). Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. And, the fashion police have long memories. Ms. Palin dressed for and aced the debate. Note: before castigating Bozo, please try not to emulate Bozo. It makes one look like a clown. Unlike foppish Al Gore, Joe Biden and others, we must not allow our inner bozos to dictate our thoughts and actions, much less our mode of dress: http://theseedsof9-11.com
Peggy McGilligan:
I’m sorry, but do you honestly think Ms. Palin is up to the job of Pres. of the USA if McCain, a 72-year-old multi-cancer survivor, dies while in office? Just read the transcripts of what Ms. Palin has been saying, and I’m not talking @ just the things in Katie Couric’s interviews. It is to me and countless others a disturbing, scary scenario, and one I desperately hope never becomes reality.
Now, please, somebody say something funny! This is not a serious website! Where’s my snark, dammit!

That video convinced me that anyone who supported that bridge to nowhere is disqualified for higher office. Oh wait, Obama and Biden voted for it twice and John McCain voted against it. Thanks Harry Shearer!
Peggy McGilligan:
Bozo? Apparently, your standards are a little backasswards. Was he supposed to wear a Mossy Oak tux? Kookey Moose most definitely did NOT “knock it out of the ballpark”. However, that had little to do with her dressed like a whore from Babylon 5. It’s because she’s an imbecile, palin and simple.
Peggy McGilligan: What the hell are you talking about?
Alaskans rallied for Obama this weekend, pics here: http://laurainak.blogspot.com
Peggy McGilligan:
Not only did Ms. Palin “dress for and ace the debate,” but her smile sent little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the living rooms of America.
I was a fervent Obama supporter until he wore brown shoes at a debate. Palin swung my vote by wearing black shoes. She won hands down therefore. Biden wore the wrong color shoes also (pink), which is why Palin knocked it out of the park.
Anyone who remembers the Herbert Hoover vs Al Smith debate of 1928 will know that Smith wore non-black shoes. Although the debate took place on radio, everyone felt that Smith came off the worst because of his miscolored shoes.
That is why McCain will win.
I have to go now because it’s my meds time, and they won’t let me wear my special hat unless I take my meds. But you can read more at my blog

I do believe that “Peggy McGilligan” is a pen name for Sarah Palin. They share a startlingly similar ability to communicate clearly and meaningfully.
Judith Owen does a pretty good Minnesota accent considering she’s Welsh.
The music is patterned after Martin Denney’s QUIET VILLAGE, obviously.
keepinitrealyo: But her bridge to nowhere was to another place in Wales. Which is already nowhere.

Perhaps you can sell us on the idea of Nader winning because he dresses in Goodwill hand-me-downs, seeing as wardrobe is the end all, be all of presidential politics, according to Peggy McGilligan.

I really think that the problem is that JoeSixPack has seen too many movies about the incompetent lazy idiot falling into the position of king/president/ceo (or insert position of power here). Then and gosh darn it do a great job with their down-home values and a feel good Hollywood ending.
Ha ha, so Hollywood’s to blame, they made up so much crap like that now people actually think it will be a happy ending (sealed with the parting onscreen kiss as the sun sets) rather than Mutually Assured Destruction. Maybe that’s why Holoywood is dumping so much into Barrys campaign - pennance for brainwashing the bitterz into thinking its possible.

I think we’re approaching the point where we need to say Fey’s Palin may be the greatest political impression ever. I can’t think of any other performer who has so perfectly nailed it. At this point, if they both read a series of lines, I wouldn’t be able to tell them apart. The most ironic thing: Fey is eminently more qualified to be Vice President than Palin.
serj!: Damn, that was pretty good. And sure, they did make fun of Biden (and Ifill too, somewhat) — but it was a difference of degree. One degree for Biden, the other 359 for Palin.
El Bombastico: What would you say, a difference of 50 IQ points between Fey and Snowbilly?
Borat: If this election goes all “Hudsucker Proxy” on us me n’ Tim Robbins are gonna hafta start some shit.
I thought they could have combined “raping” and “stinking corpse” to better effect in the clip, but I suppose that wouldn’t have gotten past the censors….
PALIN: “Say it ain’t so, Joe, there you go again pointing backwards again. You preferenced your whole comment with the Bush administration. Now doggone it, let’s look ahead and tell Americans what we have to plan to do for them in the future.”
So, to demonstrate just how forward looking she is, Sarah Plain dusts off an obscure reference to the Chicago White Sox scandal of … what? 1919? [Back when McCain was a teenager.] And follows it up with a Reaganism from 28 years ago? Yeah, doggone it. Let’s look ahead… Ooops, all I see is Sarah’s behind.
What next for this forward-looking gal? Quotations from Adolph in the 20s? At least her mentor Westbrook Pegler would approve.
Borat: The polls show that Palin does not have the Joe-Six-Pack demographic in her moose-fur lined pocket; this important voting block has recently morphed into Joe-Vanilla-Extract. However, Freddy-Can-of-PBR is completely in her tank, and her numbers are strong with Sally-Meth-Whore.
I’m a sucker for the absurd stuff (this is Strangely Hilarious):
http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/video/clips/mark-wahlberg-talks-to-animals/727504/
From my viewpoint, more and more voters are bailin’ from Palin. And right on cue, the ever-predictable GOP has launch a massive nucular attack on their opponent’s character.
facehead: You bring up a good point. Other than rabid pro-lifers, can Palin’s base even vote for her? Don’t some people convicted of meth related felonies get their voting rights taken away?
springfield_meltdown: How dare you think I was serious! But, whether or not ex-felons can vote depends on the state.
Canmon (the Inadequate): You’re absolutely right. Barack Obama and Joe Biden are clearly pork-barrel politicians of the highest caliber who support bridges to nowhere in all of the many states they represent. It’s time to teach these corrupt fat cat congressmen a lesson by kicking them upstairs to the executive branch where they won’t be able to do any more harm.
Canuckledragger: Doggone it there, Mr. Dragger (Can I call you Canuckle?) I am one to thank you for reminding me of some funniness that Governor Palin unintentionably uttering (Wink!) on last Thursday nights!
Also, thanks for referencing Pegler. I had no idea who he was or that Palin quoted him. Worth a look-see in Wikipedia I’d say.

Actually, there are Democratic activists who are ex-felons in the South trying to jump thru the red-tape and restore the voting rights for other ex-felons who would qualify. Our Republican Gov. is now busily changing a lot of those folks’ records to include “moral turpitude” which completely erases your rights forever and forever….
I’d swear that the SNL writers are reviewing the Wonkette comments.
Another great sketch.
