Wonkette
So what’s the deal, is this gal a rotten crook? Will the Obama wolves throw her in the slammer with her corrupt robber friends? Lil’ impeachment action? We don’t know, you’ll have to ask Jeffrey Toobin or his rich lawyer commentator friends. The point: in 25 days, she’ll return to governing a state where everyone hates her slimy guts. [Anchorage Daily News, Report PDF]
There is nothing anyone can say that would change my mind about Sarah.
She is beautiful, intelligent,and moral all the things that I am not.
If I had her as my VP I could rule the World.
Dam she is AWESOME!
I was expecting it to be written in crayon or whale blubber, First Dud, fire up the hellocopter, we’re a goin huntin.
Schadenfreude needs an official dance. Srsly… best day ever… McCain has to defend Obama from nutjobs and Palin is declared a crook. I’m giddy…
Well, we *hope* she’ll be returning to Alaska, anyway. Diebold may see it differently.
Editors, please remimd us each year of who she was and what fun we had with her. Her 15 minutes is nearing a close.
“So what’s the deal, is this gal a rotten crook?” Yes!
Alaska can really poop em out.
OMG!!!! I am so shocked. Sarah Palin misused her power? And First Dude–You misused power that wasn’t even yours!
I am stunned that the snowbillies acted like a pair of bullies.
But then–She didn’t abort her retard baby, did she? What more do you people want?
Alaska is in the tank for Obama…wait no it isn’t…. so much for the talking points memo
blank is in the tank…..
Well, a maverick wouldn’t violate ethics rules. So any silly government report saying she did is obviously biased.
astroprofeddie: Clearly, in this case, laws are IN THE TANK
No, really, what does this mean? I saw that there will be no criminal investigation. So then, what? Do they lash her a few times with a wet noodle? Cause if they sell that video, this economic crisis might be ovah.
10 Republicans & 4 Democrats on the committee unanimously voted to release the report. Hard to spin it a witch hunt. Especially since Wasilla Barbie has been ‘protected’ against witchcraft!
WTF–Everyone is in the tank everywhere. Is the tank full of anything narcotic? alcoholic? hallucinogenic? Should I be in the tank with everyone else? Is everyone high but me? What do the in-the-tankers know that I don’t, except the fact that Republicans have made it the most overused cliche of the WTF campaign year.
The fat lady is singing
Rush: In the same “Where Are They Now?” segment with Katherine Harris, Larry Craig and Butterstick.
I think the Alaskan punishment for this violation is either a public Booting from Trooper Wooten or Sarah has to sit on top a flag pole for the entire month of February. I just cant remember.
Wow, so pretty much everything about Sarah’s initial image was wrong, except that we believe her to still be genetically female.
get Lieberman on the blower, pronto !
I hear there are frickin’ sharks with frickin’ laser beams attached to their frickin’ heads in that tank!
Rush: I think she was the one on 30 Rock.
But seriously folks, a 263 page report? That might not seem like a lot of pages, until you find out that all official Alaskan documents are printed on the dried skin of aborted Inuit fetuses.
There goes the backup job!
Anybody wondering why our troll invasion rate seems to be going up?
facehead:
there were 136 pages of pictures…
omg!Where is Katy?did she ever go to jail?
user-of-owls:
Or like so shitty VH1 “Rock Stars of the 80’s (Kajagoogoo, Berlin and Culture Club)
Beans: Apparently it is really dangerous to not be in a tank.
Don’t forget about this guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcvaSnmqZ40&feature=related
tocute2btrue: get out more; she’d eat you alive…which may be what you desire, but at least go in with your eyes open…
Get into section IV
Right away, its not difficult to imagine this is the stuff of a Jerry Springer episode.
The Republicans on the committee did their job by delaying the report past the evening news deadlines on Friday. Hard to hide this one though. Tomorrow wil be the spin cycle, followed by the Sunday talkies. Monday morning, the game goes back to the economy, which is in the tank for the Dems. Three days off message at this point of the campaign is a big deal. But Obama is still a terrorist freakzoid Arab Muslin.
Terry: but that may be up for review…hate to have her pissed at me; kind of the like the gal/alien from Species…
irisheyes: college is back in session and the young Republicans are having a gay old time…if you know what I mean; not that there’s anything wrong with that…
TeddyS: Right! And not only is Obama a half-breed Muslin, but it’s also *his* half-breed Muslin fault that the Palin rallies are starting to sound like they’re in Nuremburg:
http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/10/10/1529529.aspx
“Barack Obama’s assault on our supporters is insulting and unsurprising. These are the same people obama called ‘bitter’ and attacked for ‘clinging to guns’ and faith. He fails to understand that people are angry at corrupt practices in Washington and Wall Street and he fails to understand that America’s working families are not ‘clinging’ to anything other than the sincere hope that Washington will be reformed from top to bottom.”
Who is Sarah Palin? Can we trust Saeag Palin? hmmmm Palin, Putin are they siblings?
What’s really disappointing is how small time this is. I mean, after reading that her top priority as governor was getting her ex brother-in-law fired, I can’t imagine Sarah Palin torturing people and goading pathological liars into providing a pretext for invading another country. As VP, she’d probably have the FBI investigating the Wasilla dry cleaner that lost a button on her favorite suit.
irisheyes: Arrah, yeh fella mick, dey haint trolls, dey leprechauns!
God, way to be in the tank Alaska! Haven’t you heard? The McCane camp released their own report YESTERDAY okay? and it cleared her of everything. Isn’t that enough?
Spackle Camshaft Palin: Like i said Alaska is so in the tank for Obama
TeddyS: nuh huh, he ain’t! McDiapers said he ain’t, ‘n’I buleeve whatever Waltrucknutz sez… oh wait… whippits wearing off…
They do things differently up there. She’s been fined a herd of moose(meese?) and must marry her daughter to Montegan’s son who can’t get a date.
102415: No, I think she’s on the Nude Christian Rodeo circuit.
Rush: 99 Luft Balloons (or 2 Luft Balloons in Katy’s instance)
*cue circus music*
Ah, schadenfreude………..this news is like getting a million hugs from Baby Jesus
I can’t believe that the stupid TBS announcers called a no-no for Dice-K in the middle of the game. You don’t do that til the final out.

Careful whatcha wish for, Caribou Barbie.
And why has no one come up with a suitable acronym for her name?
She only violated an ethics law. Everyone knows ethics laws aren’t real laws. Moose poaching - now that’s a crime.
memzilla: “Sarah Palin belts out her deceptions and distractions with a radiant confidence we usually only see in sociopaths and infomercial pitch-persons. The last public figure we saw who could grin and lie with that kind of sunny confidence was O. J. Simpson.”
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/kathlyn-and-gay-hendricks/body-politics-sarah-palin_b_132785.html
How long will it take her to blame Obama, Biden, Bill Ayers, Rev Wright and “those guys in Washington”?
I think Obama’s new slogan should be “McCain - Palin - Thanks, but No Thanks”
memzilla: score!
yea, someone mentioned Apocalypstick.

Her biggest crime IMHO are the new dimensions of her ass. Too much room service, Trixie. Her butt is roughly the size of Denali National Park. In fact four race-baiters hiking across her ass disappeared on a little used logging trail earlier this week.
I can’t wait to see the copy of the report with Palin doodles.
windupbird: Circus music is appropriate, Palin supporters were dressed as clowns when the meeting commenced, shouting “The circus is in town”
So the elephants are in the tanks for Obama, and that is why McCain defended him today
I am enjoying my news this evening with a delightfully satisfying cup of Whirl of Change ice cream courtesy of my local Baskin Robbins… Seriously, the cutie that served it to me said that it was neck ‘n neck with Straight Talk Crunch… that shit had some weird red candy things swirled in. Even my desert is in the TANK for Obama!
Haha! Suck it palin!
McCann’s crack campaign staff has already spun this issue, citing Walt Monegan’s cozy relationship with Bullwinkle.
I only wish Russert were still alive to declare this thing officially over.

BREAKING:
Matt Drudge (owner of the Drudge Report) says he can”t find that damn animated GIF file of the red siren anywhere! “I”ll put the Palin Troopergate story up as soon as find it, it”s got to be here somewhere!”
Earlier Drudge claimed that the siren was “out of batteries”.
So, will she throw the First Dude under the bus as quickly as she made her daughter get married?
gliberal: Maybe that’s why she was selected, baby’s got back and as Lisa Lampinelli will tell you, ‘the blacks love the big backside’.. McCain was hoping to distract Obama.
Foolish Americans, your petty laws cannot stop the power of Apocalipstick!

HuskyMescan: Not really Alaska’s fault. Every state has their fair share of ego tripping ex-beauty queens.
If everything goes our way on Nov. 4th, will Palin be remembered as the most bizarre/failtastic VP choice in history, hands down? Will she live on in the American political lexicon, her very name becoming shorthand for “a fuckup of epic proportions”?
August, 2040: “Well, Li’l Tim, Chelsea is clearly the front runner going into the fall, but will her decision to choose her mother as her running mate become her Palin moment?”
Will Palin and McCain be inextricably linked forever, branded into the memories of political pundits and campaign managers as the ultimate object lesson?

chascates: Yet spin it they did, calling it something run by the Obama campaign, etc.
Somewhere on the SAT they have this idea of time running in one direction. Why the fuck would the Obama campaign give a ptarmigan’s ass about this little civil service investigation when it was started before John Herbert McHoover tapped her to be snowbilly in waiting? And then the Legislative Council, dominated by Rs, sez it’s ok to release this…how is this part of a sweeping conspiracy?
Her press flacks are even dumber than Palin–and we now know how dumb that is.
“…Sen. Gene Therriault, R-North Pole, said the report is flawed because…”
A cut-’n-paste from the Anchorage Daily Whatever story on the Palin report.
I mean, seriously dudes, the dude is from the freaking North Pole! The North Goddamn Pole!
Whenever Santa™ needs the skids of government greased, this is who he bleeping calls. How cool is that?
Fox pundit Michael Barone sez that McCain still has a chance* because Barry’s GOTV operation is maybe not as strong as it’s supposed to be. He actually compares the Obama ground game to Dean’s 2004 Iowa volunteer network. I guess the 2008 Iowa caucuses never happened Barone’s universe.

Least gay in what respect, Charlie?
Beans: She didn’t abort a retard baby because she would have done it by proxy, since it was not hers to abort. When it dawned on her in the seventh month of her imaginary pregnancy that she really didn’t show like most pregnant women - or like she used to show when she was actually carrying the next generation of wolf-hating Palins - she started stuffing memory foam inserts in her flannel shirts so people would think she was toting another one of Super Todd’s spawn.

Blue Line:
The GOP has nearly completed its wholesale transformation into a cult. This is especially true this year, when the number of GOP supporters has dwindled. Now, the natural reaction for cult members is to interpret every setback for their leader as part of some grand conspiracy by “the enemy” and circle the wagons in defense (consider, for instance, Ted Stevens, who’s running ahead of his Senatorial rival, even though he’s a corrupt and sleazy criminal). That’s why this news will only make Palin more popular with the GOP base.
President Beeblebrox: That’s actually where I read the Barone story. Does anyone, even the most devoted conservative, read Barone’s ball of desperation and actually buy it? Does Barone even buy it? I guess it goes with the official McCain campaign narrative of the last two months, though. McCain’s gone without one single positive news cycle for about a month now. He got a bounce from the Palin selection, but everything since then has been a moose carcass full of sad for them.
Since this still isn’t on the Drudge report, does this mean it’s figment of our overactive liberal gotcha-imaginations?
Say it ain’t so, Matt!!
She is so presidential.
The original CBS News.com headline said only she had “misbehaved.”
Bouncin’ and misbehavin’.
shortsshortsshorts: It’s a crowded field, but would she be the best shitty president ever?
SayItWithWookies: And for good reason. You just can’t trust those Communist dry cleaners. What exactly would be the value of a button from a Valentino jacket that costs $2500? Well, it would cost $2500, seein’ how that Valentino jacket is a genuine, one of a kind.
Wonder if that lady who said that Barry was an Arab has ever owned a designer anything? She had some serious bed head goin’ on, and I imagined she looked just like Phyllis Diller. Also, don’tcha know that she backed down quickly when John said Obama wasn’t an Arab. She just paused, and asked, “No?” I think she was a plant. For you whippersnappers who don’t know about Phyllis Diller, here’s a sample: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXm_PxwrcyY

Wagamuffin: O.K., you proved it. The U.S. is not the only country with incredibly, bizarrely stupid politicians.
The sad part is it was really an easy question. A creampuff question, a setup for him to launch into his program. He either didn’t get it, or he didn’t have a program to talk about.
PentagonBookkeeper: I thought the same thing about Arab-squawker. But less “bed-head”, and more like she’d been strapped to a gurney in a mental institution for a week and they had just let her out. Confused, disoriented, and a bad case of, I guess, “gurney-head”. I can only guess what the front half looked like. I’m thinking something with chocolate pudding dribbles. And I’d be willing to bet her name is clearly marked in the inside of her clothing.
irisheyes: Anybody wondering why our troll invasion rate seems to be going up?
No Irish - I kind of expected as much when McFailin said their campaign was a’gonna get nasty.
There are a couple of media firms (Technomania.com for one) who breed rent-a-trolls to work smear campaigns on the internets. They roll into normally sane, librully stacked blogs, forums, chat rooms etc. in waves - and are paid by the post.
I think most of them are moonlighting from their day jobs at Mickey D’s.when they aren’t hootin’ it up at McFailin Rallys.
Looks like Wonks is the target of the week.
tocute2btrue: Don’t you need to get back to flipping burgers?
Six hours after the bomb detonates and still not a mention at Drudge, this from a webpage that reports every hiccup about Obama within moments.
I guess Mattie was apparently last seen slumped in a chair, drinking tequila from a McCain mug, playing Caribou Barbie’s swimsuit footage on YouTube over and over and listening to “I’ll tumble 4 ya” on the Wurlitzer.
Still not up. Is this officially a “watch.”
irisheyes: The closer the election date, the more numerous the trolls. Wonkette will have to fumigate on November 5.
AP-fed ITN (normally anti-hopey) is running it front page http://itn.co.uk/news/ec304202f2640a9cf03d5b41840d7bb5.html

Best strategy for my friend John McCain? Go into Alzheimer mode, make believe this does not exist. It’s his only choice. Arguing the merits of this report as politically motivated will bog him down. Or go full on… So…. When’s the 60 Minutes interview with President-elect Bible Spice?
Ha. Drudge buried it under a Tony Rezko story. Figures. Rezko is naming names in the Illinois statehouse and governor’s mansion (none of the names are Barack, Hussein, or Obama). HUGE scandal that could rock Cook County to its foundations.

Okay, now Grampy’s evil spokesmen have now crossed a line. They pulled out some dumbass link between Michelle and the fact that she worked at a massive law firm at the same time as Ayers’ wife. They can’t even say the two ever talked, but that’s enough to try making a connection. Because they are just that desparate and mean. http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/10/mccain_campaign_goes_after_mic.php
Anyone remember McAngry’s whole “spouses and families are off-limits” statement? I sure do.
Barry and his Chicago political machine are out of control - now they are smearing the Maverick.
Wagamuffin: Seriously, are you comparing Professor Dion to Caribou Barbi – shame on you! There is a difference between a limited English and absence of intellect and curiosity. Besides, it was unethical of CTV to air this after they promised a re-take. Mr. Harper had the same problem because of his limited French and there was always a re-take.
Tucker Bounds got nailed on MSNBC this morning. They told him that he can’t both claim that Troopergate exonerates Barbie AND it was a completely biased affair. Pick a side. Either the report is biased or it’s legitimate. Well done weekend anchor person! We hates all the Tuckers anyway.

Cogito Ergo Bibo: I wish i saw that, hes such a fucking hack.
Cogito Ergo Bibo: When asked by Larry King if she knew Bill Ayres, Michelle said “yes.” Stoopid attack by “Camp Gramps” yet again. Michelle’s got nothing to hide.
Worlds End: It was awesome. The nice anchor lady started reading damaging quotes from the report, which caused Tucker to say she was cherry-picking from the report. She told him that he was the one who claimed the report exonerated her. Who is cherry-picking now? HA!
Itsjustme: They’re all just desperate for a strategy over there. You can see it. There is absolutely no playbook. It’s all audibles, called on the field. Mere reactions to the moment with no attempt to shape the narrative (unless you call attacking your opponent a narrative).
Hail Eris!

Cogito Ergo Bibo: Well looks like the harpy is going to have another rally in a few. Do you think McCain knows the kind of anger he set off with the people in those crowds?
Stick a fork in that caribou meat loaf now, you coupla mavericks. And welcome to an Obama presidency.
Barbie is to appear at one of their Nazi rallies in mere minutes. MSNBC says they’ll switch coverage to that when it happens. Hope that they show all of it. Maybe CNN will stream it online. Cannot WAIT to see if she even mentions Troopergate.
Cogito Ergo Bibo: She will say all those republicans were in the tank.
Worlds End: I think he knows now. BTW, Obama actually thanked McAngry in a speech in Philly this morning for simmering his rabid crowds. Hopey’s a class act.

Cogito Ergo Bibo: I fear the powder keg might already be lit, considering they are booing him. Also I wonder if harpy will get carried away and start speaking German.
Worlds End: Those McPalin rallies do seem to bring out the worst in people. It’s quite interesting to listen to rallies on both sides. Lots of yelling and boos at the GOP affairs. More cheering and optimism at the Dem affairs. I just wouldn’t feel safe at a GOP rally. And with the way they attack the MSM at those things, I fear for the safety of those poor reporters.

God, her voice is grating. It’s like a bad Fargo imitation.
She keeps repeating this bullshit lie about Hopey raising taxes on the middle class.
And no, I don’t think she’ll mention Troopergate. I think she’ll just plow through like it never happened.
Dear Sarah,

Hey, what happened at the Flyers game last night? Did they throw hockey pucks at her or anything? Or did she cancel due to the report being released?
I’m glad she got the chance to CHOOSE whether she had Trig or not. Thanks for not wanting the rest of us to have that ability! Bee-yotch.
Cogito Ergo Bibo: I looked it up i think that’s tonight.

How many times is she going to exploit that kid.
Worlds End: tonight @ 7PM Eastern
Cogito Ergo Bibo:
I hope that a shitload of Obama supporters buy up tickets and boo the shit out of her when she hits the ice
Figures. Zero Troopergate. Nice speech Barbie. Treat it like the economy. If you don’t talk about it, it’ll all go away.
I like how she explains the the decrease in violence in simplistic terms, not mentioning this
http://thinkprogress.org/2008/09/19/study-ethnic-surge/
azw88: Flyers fans are not known for being nice. It should be interesting.
Worlds End: Looks like they got a quick quote on Troopergate from her as she left her hotel this morning. From http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/11/palin.investigation/index.html
“If you read the report, you will see that there was nothing unlawful,” Palin said as she emerged from her hotel in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The very next line is priceless:
Palin violated state ethics law by trying to get her former brother-in-law fired from the state police, a state investigator’s report for the bipartisan Legislative Council concluded Friday.
Hee, hee. Just because the firing was legal doesn’t mean you didn’t violate laws.
I may not be a sports fan, but i would expect drunken booing combined with people yelling show us your tits.
Worlds End: She couldn’t comprehend something as sophisticated as how the surge ACTUALLY worked (i.e. paying off local heavies and targeting the sources of the bombs themselves; nothing to do with extra troops).
Cogito Ergo Bibo: My eyes went straight to Jolie shown breastfeeding on magazine cover on the right.
Breaking news: Todd won’t be allowed at the hockey game tonight. They fear an incident similar to this:

Die Gelbe Gefahr: She’s looks as though she has not been sleeping.
Cogito Ergo Bibo: I hope hopey is not back to his “John McCain is honorable” shtick.
Beans: In some kind of fairness, I’d have trouble aborting a baby just because of Downs, too. My Downs cousin Simon is a joy, even in adulthood. Of course, he’s fortunate in his situation. He lives on the family farm. He’s better at handling the cows than his Dad and brothers, and is a whiz with the milking. He can even read some.
But he’s going to have to live his life always in the bosom of family. If the family ever quits the dairy business, I’m not sure he could acquire another skill set. The outside world would eat him alive, and he’s smart enough to really suffer from that. He doesn’t understand unfriendly or mean or sneaky people at all.
So I really can’t fault someone for making the hard decision to abort someone who will always need that level of special protection.
Just saying it’s not the only right or decent decision. Downs folks can surprise you.
Besides — there are so many other better reasons to hate Sarah Palin! I’ll start with her “word salad”.
Dreamer: he is, but it is an old trick. Shakespeare used it.
….and John McCain is an honorable man…
Here’s Gov. Palin and Todd preparing their return to Alaska.

Ooo. This is really good. From Time Magazine article entitled “What the Troopergate Report Really Says”: http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1849399,00.html?xid=site-cnn-partner
The result is not a mortal wound to Palin, nor does it put her at much risk of being forced to leave the ticket her presence succeeded in energizing.
But the Branchflower report still makes for good reading, if only because it convincingly answers a question nobody had even thought to ask: Is the Palin administration shockingly amateurish? Yes, it is. Disturbingly so.
The 263 pages of the report show a co-ordinated application of pressure on Monegan so transparent and ham-handed that it was almost certain to end in public embarrassment for the governor.
Harsh! But soooo karmalicious.
So this is John “some of my best friends are black” McCain? Crazy. I still think yesterday was a total legacy maneuver so he can get back on Daily Show and Letterman (well, maybe not Letterman) when he loses. Then, he’ll be all Mavericky and everyone will say, “Where was this guy?” Well, doing anything to win, that’s where. Inciting riots in Minnesota (quick, get Garrison Kellior on the phone), attaching himself to some crazy redneck momma from Alaska for crissakes and trying to keep Cindy on/off the Vicodin. What a country.
“No, and if you read the report you’ll see that there was nothing unlawful or unethical about replacing a cabinet member. You gotta read the report”
She can read, yup, yup, but has trouble with comprehension.
Worlds End: that’s the ‘bread and circuses’ part of the brainwashing/ignorance schtick - don’t let em distract.
Is Todd Palin the new Hillary (minus a brain) Clinton for the Republicans?

Snarkfest: Are you refering to this comment. My eyes went straight to Jolie shown breastfeeding on magazine cover on the right. ???????
Jeeez, the trainwreck continues. You think the angry race-baiting from McCain supporters is bad? Pfft, you’re just lucky that McCain and Palin aren’t REALLY trying to whip up that sentiment!

Beans: I hate to say this, but I think she was hoping the cross-country plane trip while in labor would do it for her.
Too harsh….?
Worlds End: You know, divine justice would be that Obama carries Alaska.
gliberal: Two words: Stress Eating. If she felt confident, her behind her wouldn’t be so far out behind her.
Texas2Step: Not at all, I thought the same. Very dangerous to go into labor and not go to the hospital.
smellyal8r: I’ll repeat what I said yesterday, His calling down his supporters was as scary to me as the KKK is. The one woman seemed “staged.” I wanted to grab her and say, Muslin, Muslin, they told you to say Muslin, not Arab.
Teams of Mavericks “The McCain/Palin ticket is the first in American history in which both candidates were found to have violated ethics standards before a national election.”
Nice.
obfuscator: I saw that, needless to say i said wtf.
Now this is journalism: on John McCain’s latest inexplicable rally in Iowa:
“A national reporter in front of me is bored and surfing icanhascheezburger.com.”
http://iowaindependent.com/6901/john-mccain-davenport-liveblog
danny diaz is such a whiny bitch. He said the report was written by democrats, pathetic.
Let’s admit it…. we’re all going to miss Sarah Palin when this election is over….
Worlds End: I saw that Daily Show segment too. It’s like Fox is off their meds these days.
obfuscator: Thanks for posting this. Melber rocks. The point here is that Freire fumbled his appearance because Melber was solid as a rock to any inanity, comparable to Gibbs vs Hannity. They need to keep putting him up against Repubmuts.
Sorry if I’m the last person to see this but it makes the Palin rally parking lot thing look like tea with Cokie and Noonan:

Hooray For Anything: We will miss Sarah Palin, but I’ll bet you a moose fucking a goose that she’ll win the candidacy for the next Republican primary.
Bob Hopeless: OHMYFUCKINGGOD!!! UNFUCKINGBELIEVEABLE
Sadly, as dumb as this fucking idiot is, at least SHE knows that Spain is out ally.
Gopherit v2.0: In Arizona, we get rid of our crooked governors: Ev Mecham and Fife Symington
And the ethics violations committed by Palin are worse than those Mecham committed. But, since this sort behavior is standard in Alaska, nothing will happen to her beyond a slap on the wrist.
Bob Hopeless: I would have been just fine without seeing that. Have you seen the a href=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itEucdhf4Us”>sidewalk to nowhere? “ACORN and Barama ruined these economy.” “Barama is an AyRab.”
Hooray For Anything: Al you will have to do is watch Fox News, as I am sure they will make her their sweetheart and feature her quite regularly.
Holy Cat Scratch Fever!!!
Here we have a mercifully short video of Ted Nugent holding two large automatic weapons in hand, on stage, ranting about how he wants to make Obama (and Hilary) suck on his machine gun. Is it just me or does that sound like a death threat?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vy8RIiTyhMI&feature=related
2druk2phluq: Unbelievable…. “get a job”?? WTF??
did you see that t-shirt, the Obama logo with the Hammer and sickle. And I thought the red scare had gone out when Reagan left office….
facehead: Can’t wait for Obama to get elected and have the Motor City Madman say that.
Wonder if Ted would be such a tough guy behind bars?
We thought she was Mrs Congeniality and now we learn she also has won the titles of Ms. High Crime and Ms. Demeanor.
“When they said you was high classed,
Well, that was just a lie.

And you aint no friend of mine.”
Apologies to Lieber and Stoller. Condolences to Rocky.
Look at what she tried to do to Dudley Do Right! (Oops wrong country).
Take me back to Russia, Boris. We are very close. I can see it from here. . .
facehead: I hope he enjoys the fbi.
Wow, McPain was soooo meant to be. They both have ethics violations and they both send their spouses to do their dirty work.
Chief Grinning Eagle: Elvis would be rolling over in is grave, but he aint really dead. The Enquirer said so. I mean they’ve been right about Edwards affair!
azw88: Oh, I’m sure Fox News is already dangling a contract for her as we speak. Between her fake populism, perky personality, hazy relationship with the truth, meanspiritidness, and illegal activities, she’d be perfect on Fox. Well, except for the fact she’s not a blonde but she could always change that.
Hooray For Anything: Actually, maybe she IS a natural blond… we need to gt proof.. Think M*A*S*H* (movie)
rocktonsammy: Please don’t form a sentence with “lieberman” and “blower” in it again! My fragile brains can’t tolerate the mental images!
facehead: Nah, Ted probably didn’t mean it that way since he probably sucks his machine gun every night as a gesture of love.

Barry’s already walked this back with a statement while still condemning the psycho crap Palin’s spewing & the wingnuts at McCain rallies.
I hope that this doesn’t cast McCain in a sympathetic light.

My response to the first idiot: HE”S A FUCKING SENATOR, WTF IS MORE PATRIOTIC THAN DEVOTING YOUR LIFE TO PUBLIC SERVICE YOU SHIT-TARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????!?!?!????
My response to the second idiot: Yes maam, Obama is an American. IF ANYTHING, the citizenship of John McCain should be called into question, he’s a bloody Panamaniac.
My response to the third idiot: You sir are a racist, may God take a fat dump on your soul.
I feel better.
CooterMarie: I love that gurney-head image, and you’re probably right! Poor ole lady, those Republicans have certainly opened up the qualifications for their Manchurian Candidate Dept. The more I think about it, I think all of these people who take the mic now at these rallies to say scary things about Obama, are all covert, opposition players. Cain is obviously filled with hatred toward that one who must be defeated at any cost. From the beginning, Barry has always referred to the old man with honor, and praised him for his sacrifice to this country. Conversely, since the old guy can’t sincerely just weave some calming words into his opening speachifying at his beloved town halls, he has to take the low road - get these hypnotized racists to say this crap, keep the camera in tight on McCain to see his righteous reaction, and to hear his bogus rehearsed lines. It makes me sick!
gurukalehuru: Yes, cream puff of a question is the exact phrase. Explaining your economic platform at this point should be a rote exercise. Which is why,
Dreamer: your bluster about Dion’s performance rings hollow. Any question about economic performance for any candidate at this point should be a slam dunk—in both official languages. As for CTV airing the bung-ups, well, I consider it fair game. He was telling the journalist “Hey, I don’t understand the question!” then seguing off into this ridiculous rant about “are you talking about 2 years ago, now, tomorrow?”. And then losing his shit with the reporter?? Especially since he wasn’t even challenged and such a question certainly couldn’ be considered provacative. Any Grade 10 debater could have fielded a more palatable answer.
Sorry Dreamer, I have been a lifelong Liberal supporter, but I know bullshit and a piss poor performance when I see it, whomever the candidate…

Breaking: McCain admits not using TP after laying cable. He’s mavericky!
New favorite quote. From the Princeton Election Consortium:
Whatever your personal preference may be, a Democratic sweep is coming. The storm is about to make landfall, and we know where.
Also, Sarah dropped the puck, brought her kids, thinking that would cause the Flyer fans to be polite. They were not. Booed like crazy, then they turned the music up so loud it drowned out 18,500 people.
Sarah Palin’s getting BOOED right now dropping the first puck at the Flyers game!! Bwaa ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!
irisheyes: I thought the low-brow hockey fans would love Bible Spice. It warms the cockles of my heart that she got booed … by white people because I don’t know any AAs who would go to a hockey game.
I take those nasty things I’ve said about Philly!
Nathalie08: hahahahahahahahahahahaha ill post the vid. In the meantime look what i found.

Texan Bulldoggette: Oh- there are no AA’s at a Flyers game; but the crowd is not low- brow; those tix are crazy expensive. Mostly whiteys from the suburbs.
On a lower note- the Palin curse has now allowed the rangers to take the lead 4-0. Failin is watching in the crowd holding the baby. Gonna be interviewed in between periods- I’ll be watching ANYTHING else.
Here ’tis, luv! Palin gets loudly booed at Flyers game:

McCain-Palin has achieved distinction as the ONLY ticket in US history on which both candidates have been found to have violated ethical standards BEFORE an election:
http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2008_10/015130.php
Oh, I see the resemblance, but I think I was close with my bald guy reference. Darn, you spent a lot of time on that!
Texan Bulldoggette: I say it is a mother covering the ears of her child so the child doesn’t her the vile, racist crap spewed by folks at McCain-Palin rallies.
tennessee Jed clampett: Inamtes running the Prison- now THAT’S change you can believe on!
Texan Bulldoggette: i didnt make it
anyone see this little clip? I like how when he gets caught he gives it to some kid.

Sarah Palin’s response to reporters in Alaska:
http://community.adn.com/adn/node/132625
Questions were limited to one from each reporter without follow-ups.
Dear Friend:
Are you ready yet for the November 4th Elections? How about your friends, family, and neighbors?
More Americans are expected to vote this year than ever before in history, so don’t be left out! Be sure to ask everyone you know the following questions:
• Are you registered to vote? If you moved recently, have you updated your voter registration?
• Did you apply for an Absentee Ballot? Do you know your state may not require any reason?
• Can you find your local Polling Place? Do you know it may have changed from last time?
The answers to these questions — and all your voting needs — can be found at http://www.StateDemocracy.org
