DAILY BRIEFING

The Bespectacled Oracle Speaks

  • Oh hey the Republican vice presidential nominee took questions from her press corps, finally! Her answers were a mix of talking points, wild departures from talking points, and dangling participles. [CNN]
  • Sarah Palin also went on Saturday Night Live and proved herself a pale imitation of Tina Fey playing Sarah Palin. [ABC News]
  • South Ossetians say the Georgians have been firing on them and that EU monitors aren’t doing anything about it. [Reuters]
  • Five of the Fort Dix Six go to trial today, for trying to blow up a huge military base with a pizza truck. [Philadelphia Inquirer]
  • Now that oil prices are reasonable again and there’s no money to invest in green technology anyway, we can all go back to being fat lazy wastrels who get in their car to collect the mail at the end of the driveway. [Washington Post]
  • George Bush is holding another get-together with his globalist pals to plan the socialist takeover of our flourishing American economy. [Wall Street Journal]

    If I called all the shots, and if I could wave a magic wand…

    Sarah, please wave my magic wand…

    Tina Fey is hot (as I have a weakness for attractive girls in glasses.)
    Sarah Palin? Not even worth a hate fuck anymore.

    As for “reasonable” oil prices. Hmmm, is this suddenly an 80s flashback? “saint” Ronnie and the Alex P Keatons did the exact same thing some 20 years ago, too. Not this time assholes.

  3. Oh, you haters…she was great on SNL. This Fey-Palin feud is actually making typically-garbage SNL become watchable.

  4. ManchuCandidate:

    Mallory was smokin’ hot

    What is it with Wingnuts and “Magic Wands”?

    I put my ballot in the mail
    I sent it off, I did not fail

    I put it in the envelope
    and sent if off, all full of hope

    I feel pretty good about it
    even though there is no doubt

    it’s not enough to rock the boat
    after all, it’s just one vote

    Not enough to hardly count
    but single votes, in large amounts

    I hope will serve us very well
    and may the bitters rot in hell.

  7. It’s been an entertaining weekend, watching McCain claim that Obama will bring lots of scary socialist things with him if elected when Bush just nationalized the banks.

    freakishlystrong: Just obsessed with all things phallic. Well, and with a magical, nonexistent world where the GOP win this thing. At least it had better be nonexistent. Otherwise, hello Spain!

  9. Giant Robot says at 9:42 am, October 20th, 2008

    Even Sarah Palin is distancing herself from McCain. Poor Walnuts.

  10. Why the Euros should cross the pond to attend the loathsome lame duck George Bush’s economic summit is a mystery to me. I would not pick up the remote to see the MF at this point. I assume it will be to meet the President-elect, who will be kicking back with some weed in Chicago.

    I’m just glad this campaign brought back the word Niggra. It was hiding for too long.

    “Taking more from a small business or small business owners or from a hard working family and then redistributing that money according to a politician’s priorities. There are hints of socialism in there.”

    As in, oil profits for Alaskans?

    Shrill, baby, shrill.

    bitchincamero: or is it “Shill, baby, shill…?

    Tina Fey’s Palin? Still better: http://tinyurl.com/6det3k

    Aren’t we over Palin yet? Fey does her better: http://tinyurl.com/5lt93z

    She can wave a magic wand, talk like a pirate for all I care.
    As her supporters would need new sheets to wear, since the semen stains are now kinda hard to miss.

    “There are socialist principles to that, yes,” Palin said of Obama’s plan. “Taking more from a small business or small business owners or from a hard working family and then redistributing that money according to a politician’s priorities. There are hints of socialism in there.”

    Asked if she thinks the government’s plan to inject billions of taxpayer dollars directly into troubled banks amounts to socialism — a belief held by many conservative legislators, talk radio hosts and bloggers — Palin said, “No, I do not.”

    BWAHahahaha!!

    Seriously, I love her obvious delusion that she really is the future of the country. But then, I find high levels of self-esteem, when coupled with no self-awareness whatsoever, fascinating. What must it be like inside that head?
