Sarah Palin continues to avoid the “mainstream gotcha media” wing of yellow black journalists after Katie Couric, the host of a basic news program for old people, proved to be too In The Tank in too many interviews. Since last week’s debate, she’s only granted interviews to such staunch conservative kingpins as Hugh Hewitt, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and, today, Bill “William” Kristol of the liberal New York Times. Kristol’s column about it today is called — and may we add that this is hilarious — “The Wright Stuff.” Tomorrow Palin is expected to interview with Montgomery Burns.
Bill Kristol asks Palin the tough questions — how interest rates complicate the world’s energy demands, how deleveraging U.S. banks are connected to failing European banks, and so forth and so on:
At one point, noting that Palin had remarked ruefully almost a week ago that her son Track had been, since his recent deployment to Iraq, in touch with his girlfriend but not his mother, I asked whether she had subsequently heard from him.
[...]
I pointed out that Obama surely had a closer connection to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright than to Ayers — and so, I asked, if Ayers is a legitimate issue, what about Reverend Wright?
&c. He also offered to moderate a second vice presidential debate.
“Okay.”

This interview is clearly less lightning, more rod.
I’m confused on so many levels…
A second VP debate!?! Moderated by Bill Kristol!?! America can finally get the media train wreck it’s been searching for!!!
Better the Wright stuff than Kristol’s own brand, the Wrong Stuff.
Why do I think of Bill Kristol as a Human Bidet, occasionally rising up to tongue-clean the object of his desire?
you know what would be a truly compelling interview? John McCain and Andy Rooney. Have you ever seen them at the same place at the same time? I think not!
But did he feel the Lowry-esque tingly starbursts? Inquiring minds want to know, Bill. Oh & Bill is a lower life form than a turd hanging off the ass of a dung beetle.
How strange of a coincidence, given that BILL F***ING KRISTOL WAS THE ONE WHO BEGAN LOBBYING MCCAIN TO PICK PALIN after meeting Palin on the f***ing WEEKLY STANDARD vacation cruises to ALASKA.
Yeah. No f***ing conflict of interest there at all, you useless f*** Kristol.
Based on this interview alone, it shows how bad things have gotten for the Crimson when a Hahvahd PhD. shows about the same depth of intellect as someone with a Idaho Buttfuck U Journo degree.
I presume that they did the interview by phone so as to avoid Kristol drooling directly on Bible Spice. Maybe Todd/Driller would let him hold the purse every once in a while. So he can feel involved.
He has small hands…just sayin…
You betcha you take those gloves right of there also Joe sixpack *wink*
Mavericky!
Excuse me but isn’t he the very same cock-for-brains that kept shouting we’d be received as liberators, that the war would pay for itself, and many other over the top douchebaggeries? That ass-hat is nto to be believed for one nanoseond, and I am disgusted that the NYT would showcase this toad. Oh wait, shit sells.
This is just so revolting. Oh, and my 88 year old mother-in-law, who didn’t work after marriage and stayed at home to raise the children, yet is more of a feminist than this bimbette will ever be, noted that you do not wink and act coquettish if you are trying to be taken seriously and that Moose Barbie set women back quite a few years with her performance.
Unfortunately, winking and wiggling seem to be working. Ugh.
Bush is an idiot, and Cheney is a bastard, but when Bill Kristol dies I will make a special trip just to piss on his grave.
Hockey Mom Knows Best.
So if Rev’d Wright is not an issue, Ayers can’t be either?
Thank God Palin is getting out there away from the evil filter of the MSM. I eagerly await her deft handing of the “How do you handle being so beautiful and awesome” when she hits Glen Beck’s show. It’s a shame that evening news fluff pieces are out of this womans league.

I sent in a Wonkette Suffrage Operative tip last week that dropped into a void (bad to include ‘pro-idiot lobby’ in the subject line?). It noted that we here in Arkansas will finally formalize in law what has been standard electoral practice for any number of years. To whit,
Amendment No. 1, if approved, would remove archaic language from the Arkansas Constitution which reads, “No idiot or insane person shall be entitled to the privileges of an elector,” according to the language of the ballot proposition.

So, if Mssr. Kristol wants to cast a legal ballot, he’d best hie on down here and register soon.
Who was that other oil state governor, functionally illiterate imbecile that Kristol and his Weekly Standard buddies fell in love with? Gosh darnit, am I looking backwards again?
Jim Newell….YOU’RE ALIVE!
Thank god…some of us were worried that the supporting cast Wonketteers had been swept away like a formerly robust 401K plan.
[re=122351]user-of-owls[/re]: ugh. whitless bastard.
That ol’ gosh darn gotcha mainstream media, doggonit.
To quote Flounder….this is soooo great. The more desperate the McCain strategists become, the meaner the message gets. By Halloween, Kristol will have dropped all nuance entirely and will just be typing “Do we really want a n***** in the White House? Do we? Wake up White America!” By then, Palin will have been”accidently” moved to the top of the ticket. And they’ll still crater.
Looks like Bible Spice is taking Mornin’ Jowe!’s advice; he said she shouldn’t talk to anyone but “friendly” media, (like this tool), Rush and the like, so the drooling masses that listen to that shit will hear what they want to hear, not what we, as a nation, NEED to hear, it’s nauseating.
“I’ve joined this team that is a team of mavericks with John McCain, also.”
-Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin
Bill Kristol = massive tool.
[re=122344]Masorca[/re]: What is Brian saying to Stewie on your avatar?
[re=122353]hockeymom[/re]: I would worry more about SKS if I were you.
[re=122351]user-of-owls[/re]: Remove?
That should be offered as an amendment to the Unites States constitution.
Bill’s just being nice to Palin in the hopes that he’ll get some of that underaged, over-fertile Alaskan girlhood.
He’s too effete to know that a filled meth pipe and a half-pint of Canadian Whiskey will take him much further than an approving note from mom.
Furthermore, if the GOP slime machine wants to bring up Ayers, it should be noted that WALNUTS! is a friend and sometime guest of anti-government zealot/reformed Plumber radio host G. Gordon Liddy.
I hope Obambi brings that up soon, as it’s taken him this long to bring up the Keating Five scandal.
I’m pretty sure Bill Kristol also predicted that today would be a great day on Wall Street.
So, in this case, two wrongs are trying to make a Wright?
McCain’s numbers are still in the decline, let that fool keep popping her chops across the globe, she’s doing more harm than good.
[re=122369]Delicious[/re]: Yeah. We’re really going in the wrong direction here. Then again, I suppose an amendment which effectively disenfranchised 90% of the population below the Mason-Dixon line might be a smidge controversial.
“Gov. Palin, you are as beautiful as you are smart. Do you think that Democrats hate you because they hate America, or because you love America so much?”
[re=122351]user-of-owls[/re]: [re=122380]Lionel Hutz Esq.[/re]: Hmm. Wonder if it’s too late to get another amendment on our ballot:
No idiot or insane person shall be entitled to the privileges of a press pass.”
“Gov. Palin, do you mind if I tape record our conversation so I can free my hands to ‘Read “The Daily Beast”,’ if you get my drift?”
[re=122376]iwillsavethispatient[/re]: Well played, Doctor.
“To tell you the truth, Bill, I don’t know why that association isn’t discussed more…”
Three words, punkin: Jews. For. Jesus.
There was a reason why you were “overly handled and constrained after the Republican convention.”
Reading Kristol threatens to give me a brain aneurysm. But then I remember that once upon a time Kristol used to be an upper-crust muckety muck who graduated from Harvard magna cum laude, then picked up his Harvard Ph.D., and then went on to hobnob with all the right snobs, pitch important sounding bullshit in think-tanks, broadcast his brilliant ideas in his own magazine, etc., etc., and now Kristol is pimp who spends his time writing PR press releases for idiot politicians who believe in witches and can’t pronounce nuclear.
Hahahahahahhaaa! There is cosmic justice.
All right Palin, I’ve had just about enough.
You want to talk Rev. Wright? Then let’s talk about Bishop Muthee too – the Kenyan who laid hands on you to drive out witches. The same Muthee who, according to Fox news, had 11 people burned to death who were suspected of being witches and wizards in western Kenya — in some cases slitting their victims’ throats or clubbing them to death before burning their bodies. The gang moved from home to home through two villages, identifying their victims by using a list with names of suspected witches and wizards and the kind spells they were believed to have cast on the community, said Ben Makori, a local councilor. ‘The villagers are complaining that the (suspected) wizards and witches are making the bright children in the community dumb … In some cases the gang pulled the victims out of their homes, slit their throats or clubbed them to death, said a police officer, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media. The victims were then thrown back into their homes, which the gang had already set on fire, the officer said. He said 36 houses were burned.”
You want to talk William Ayers? The 60′s was a radical time, even Patty Hearst didn’t seem to mind holding that gun. Where are the players today? Ayers is currently a Distinguished Professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, College of Education. His interests include teaching for social justice, urban educational reform, narrative and interpretive research, children in trouble with the law, and related issues. And nobody died.
You want to talk radicals in 2008? Let’s talk about your husband’s 7-year membership in AIC, and let’s talk about the AP story that says key players of the KKK, neo-Nazis and white supremacist organizations are actively advising and financing the campaign of GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin.
Let’s talk about how Vogler, founder of the AIP, said that he had nothing but “hatred for the American government” and cursed the American flag as a “damn flag.” And he also said by golly youbetcha that “The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government.”
This is going to be a good week for you what with the Keating 5 commercials, the debate in Nashville tomorrow night, the LA Times article about how McCain was a lousy pilot, Troopergate hearings on Friday, and seven of your former aides have changed their minds…they will be testifying after all.
You have stepped on my last nerve. Bring it witch.
…is it even legal to have 2 people this stupid within 2 city blocks of each other?
[re=122368]TGY[/re]: Oh, she’ll be back tomorrow.
[re=122394]accidental_tourist[/re]: Many thanks. I saw starbursts when I read this, etc.
Acc: whow…awesome. Really.
[re=122394]accidental_tourist[/re]: “Bring it witch.”
Haha. Hurray for Democracy!
If only Mittens!!
Bill Kristol knows all about being (w)right, although he’s never personally been right. In his entire life. If he predicted sunny skies, I’d take an umbrella. So if he’s suggesting that the McCain campaign could maybe win this thing by going sharply negative and personal, I’m breaking out the Champagne.
[re=122350]Miller[/re]: Palin and beck can mutually masturbate each other while talking about the apocalypse/rapture.
[re=122394]accidental_tourist[/re]: yeah, baby!
[re=122394]accidental_tourist[/re]: Looks like it’ll be a pretty good week after all.
[re=122394]accidental_tourist[/re]: Saying McCain was a lousy pilot is an understatement. He’s crashed more planes than Chuck Yeager.
[re=122400]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: That’s why it was a phone interview.
To be fair to Bill, this article does at least prove something conclusively: that it is, in fact, possible to be both a douche and a cock at the same time.
bill was so much more entertaining when he was making those “city slicker” movies with that crazy old coot jack pallance although i never much cared for harry vs. sally or whatever.
now he’s not making movies but is still hanging out with a crazy old coot and a sarah who i doubt could even FAKE an orgasm.
I have an overpowering urge to smash that ingratiating Gidget in the mouth. Somebody hold Trig.
Ok, done now. (goes back to being a nice person. truly).
[re=122394]accidental_tourist[/re]: Yes!
[re=122416]Maus[/re]: No! NOOOOOOO!!!
— “Tomorrow Palin is expected to interview with Montgomery Burns.” —
Give Burns some credit. His first words after meeting Palin would be, “Smithers, call out the hounds. We have a trespasser.”
[re=122326]Tommy Says Soooo[/re]: Thanks. Thank you so much for that image.
[re=122326]Tommy Says Soooo[/re]: Star.
The awesome thing about the tail end of this election cycle is that when Barry wins and all of the unvetted Palin shit that has been successfully back-burnered during the election hits the fan, so many nominally respected conservatives will have to eat family-sized servings of crow…
I, for one, am delighted that Billy Kristol did the interview and will shower Caribou Barbie with rightwing praise. He has been consistently wrong on almost every prediction.
[re=122394]accidental_tourist[/re]: Feh. You forgot the new Rolling Stone article.
[re=122542]FreshCliches[/re]: I didn’t mention it today, but over the weekend I printed off 150 copies and mailed it to everybody I care about, and even to some I don’t. It’s the last word on The Real McCain.
For anyone who missed it, the current issue of Rolling Stone has two incredible feature articles, one on Crybaby McTemper Tantrum and one on his leg humper.

I have a creepy feeling that finger smells like the asshole of some guy on ice down at the morgue.

[re=122535]TeddyS[/re]: Another prediction he made: “If Sarah Palin is picked for the VP slot, gas prices will immediately plummet.” It didn’t happen, but once Republicans get the word out that Palin’s on the ticket, that’ll change.
I like how the AOL chat room crowd is now dictating McCain Palin campaign strategy. Before the AOL posters were regarded as fringe nuisances, and then Palin goes and repeats every word they say.
Bill Kristol reminds me of a weatherman. You can be wrong most of the time, yet still keep your job.
I want McPussy to show her crotch. I’ll bet that twat is heart shaped and has a tat or two. Beefy juicy lips with a cauliflower clit. Johnny McGoo will be hounding that regardless. What a stretch, I’ll bet if you stood on her knees and kipped off, you could do a double hamel camel, with a full twist and be enveloped as you entered the RePublican zone, all warm and cozy, with no splash at all. I give it a 9.7. And, in terms of the Forth of July, I’d bet McPussy has 15 to 20 pounds of 45-70 ammo packed in that ass. I don’t know what the burn rate is for a maxi pad, but, light one she’s wearin and stand back. It would be like Roger Rabbit on meth, quite common in Alaska, a major bustamove right out of her ass, tracers and spent shells and the horrible specter of a sphincter, smoldering as it loads the next round. Sahara, Sara McPussy, put some fire on the target, and keep the home fires burnin…..
[re=123026]WoundedVeteran[/re]: Dude, put the pipe down. FTW? Are you a beat poet, or a crack head, or um wha?
That post leaves me confused as to whether I should pledge allegiance, masturbate, shoot somebody, have a quarter pounder with cheese, or maybe try all of the above simultaneously. Regardless, I will need more hands.
Also, “bustamove” = forbidden on this or any blog, ever, even ironic. Maybe especially ironic. Just no.
