Sarah Palin’s favorite clothing in Alaska store is called Out of the Closet? How nice of her to tolerate that.
Has Palin accepted accountabilty for anything since she’s been on teevee? Blames the democrats for not cooperating in the Troopergate deal, blames the “gotcha media” because she is stupid, blames others in McCain’s campaign for her $150,000 wardrobe malfunction. Serious, why could anyone want to support her?
Looks like Dubya gave a final ‘fuck you’ to the Syrians. Yet another one of Barry’s problems when he takes office. Why doesn’t Shrub just get it over with and nuke Iran? At least it would give WALNUTS! a boner, seeing as he no longer cares for Caribou Barbie anymore. Maybe he’ll dump Palin for Ashley Todd.
Gosh, I wish Palin would fucking stop wasting my time…
That’s it! Bible Spice is channeling Anita Bryant.
Nevermind the clothes. The RNC still spent a shitload of money on her hair & makeup. Your hair just doesn’t highlight itself, honey, esp. when you’re a brunette.
seriously, can’t we get the generals to cut off bush and cheney?
Wonkette will never be a success until I see a photo of Mitch McConnell hugging Liz Glover and/or Ken Layne. If decorum insists, he can withdraw slightly from Ken and do the non-threatening, non-penis to penis hug.
Sara, who wouldn’t be twittering about last night’s Mad Men finale? Someone in AQ must like good TV. It’s not all Rambo III, Terrorist Bloopers and Man on Goat Pr0n.
Sarah P, Sarah P, Sarah P. Your pathetic attempt at pinning the blame on your RNC masters is much like Marie Antoinette blaming the Royal cake makers for her quote about starving people and cake.
You had the choice NOT to wear such fancy dandy duds bought in “unreal” US America stores, but you chose to.
Excerpts from a fourth site show cell phone wallpapers that wannabe jihadists can use to express their affinity for radicalism
That sounds like a real threat to our American way of life that the terrorists hate: a picture of Obama bin Biden on a cell phone.
ihasasad: Word.
Rush: Elisabeth Hasselbeck is fueling the fire. What a couple of idiots.
ManchuCandidate: Didn’t you see her new specs when she trashed science during her first ‘policy’ speech? She gonna donate those to charity as well? This woman lies so much she makes Nixon look like George Washington.
Texan Bulldoggette: That’s OK I heard she was going to give her hair and face to charity after the election.
Itsjustme: Don’t knock the Hasselbeck. It takes a lot of integrity to whore yourself on a reality game show and then become an drone for the GOP.
I’m sick of Sarah, but I’m going to be a little sad when she goes back to shootin’ moose.
When the Republican party splits into three pieces after this is over (the neocon-hawks, the fiscal/constitutional conservatives, and the cultural conservatives), I for one would love to see Palin run for Pres on the cultural conservative ticket.
But all those clothes will be out of style by then. Guess she’ll have to raise a bunch of money from some megachurches to buy another wardrobe.
JJva: Hey, somebody’s gotta make the money in that family, considering her hubby’s claim to fame was that he’s Matt Hasselbeck’s brother who was 3rd string for the Giants for about 5 years. You think boob jobs and oxycontin are cheap?
I don’t understand this idiocy from Palin. Why not just try to connect with actual mothers out there who never get the opportunity to shop for themselves and say, “Jesus Christ, I was just pregnant, I have 5 kids, I’m not rich, and someone brought in racks of clothes that aren’t maternity wear and would actually fit me. I’m not elite enough to be able to turn up my nose at them.” It’d be bullshit, but I’d actually relate to that. Shit, if she doesn’t want ‘em, I’ll take ‘em off her hands; I’ve been looking for a pencil skirt and a pair of boots, but my broke ass can’t afford cheese.
Palin and Hasslebeck and Bachmann, Shrill, Ignorant and Intolerent; what the fuck is wrong with Republican Women?
freakishlystrong: You assume that they’re women. They are secretly fem-bots form the Forbidden Zone, plotting to take over the planet using a ’stupification ray’.
““Look, she lives a frugal life,” Mr. McCain said. “She and her family are not wealthy. She and her family were thrust into this, and there was some — and some third of that money is given back. The rest will be donated to charity.””
Palin’s financial statement said that she and her husband are worth about $2.5 million dollars. What is the definition of wealthy, John?
U.S. Flag Code: “The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.”
WALNUTS! apparently got a dispensation from general Giap.
I think the problem with going over the weekend is that by Monday the comments start reading like Huffington Post, snarkless, serious, angry…the funs wrung out; maybe we need a couple of days of hard drinking and a good Monday morning hangover to ramp up the snarkmobile…

whoa…for a minute after i posted the comment I had to catch myself and make sure that I hadn’t made that post on Huffington Post…whew, still at Wonkette; wouldn’t have gotten by the sensors at HP…not bitter enough…
How sweet would it be to send McConnell packing? Of course, he wouldn’t be going far, just to K street rather than moving back to the old home state.
BobLoblawLawBlog:
This is proof that when McCain hired Karl Rove’s proteges to run his campaign, he got the C- average proteges and not the teacher’s pet, A average, stars of the class. If Rove were running the show, not only would this shopping spree not have occurred, but indeed, he’d have sent Palin to Target to buy clothes for Trig and then had someone in his campaign leak news of the impending shopping trip to a couple of media outlets so that they could have a photographer on scene to nab Palin shopping for clothes “at the same place I shop, dadgummit!” Then, of course, Rove would have a separate group of operatives taking to the airwaves shortly thereafter to denounce the elitist, sexist liberal media for belittling Palin for the frugality of her shopping habits. It would have been pure Machiavellan genius, instead of the pathetic laughingstock we’re witnessing today.
Terry:
Palin’s financial statement said that she and her husband are worth about $2.5 million dollars. What is the definition of wealthy, John?
$5,000,000 yearly income. Everybody else is middle class in John McCain’s fantasy world.
Hunter Gathers: Unfortunately, they don’t need the stupid ray, we’re lousy with the stupid. Here in Florida, yesterday, them biotches we’re screaming about “Socialism”, boogabooga! I think the average salary in this here state is $8.00 an hour, and yet the crowd was roaring-against their own finacial security..Idiots.
StupidGeek: You see “out of the closet” is the first step for healing. First you have to come out of the closet, then you have to redeem yourself to Jeebus.
And if that doesn’t work banishment from America or death penalty are all acceptable to Moosilini.
Terry: “Palin’s financial statement said that she and her husband are worth about $2.5 million dollars. What is the definition of wealthy, John?”
$2.5 million isn’t “wealthy” by beer heiress standards.
*CUT-NUT WATCH* I NEED AN UPDATE ON CUT-NUT ASHLEY TODD WONKETTE!!
I still think Bible Spice has all the labels for a quick return and $150k cash after the election.
freakishlystrong: Capitalism is the opiate of the asses.
I am warning you now that it is going to look like Mitch is loosing for a long time on election night. The eastern part of the state, Lexington, and Louisville will be big wins for Lunsford. Then those idiots out in Western Kentucky will ruin the whole thing. It was the same thing that happened with Bunning in 2004 and it will probably happen again. I am not even getting my hopes up this time because sending Mitch packing, even for someone as blah as Lunsford, is too good to be true.
I’m glad that the Labor Secretary is on the campaign trail asking unemployed Kentuckians to keep her husband employed.
It would be the most she’s helped employment in her entire time as Secretary.
Is Mitch McConnell the butch or lipstick one in his “marraige?”
OffTheRecord: Ugh. Losing. Not loosing. I hate myself.
freakishlystrong: Frank said it best: http://www.bigmattress.com/mt-archives/2008/10/saturday_soundo.html
whiteasasheet: Shit! Yipes! Language! I’m at work!
4tehlulz: Opium is in the tank!
freakishlystrong: Headphones, freakish, headphones…
whiteasasheet: That made my sucky Monday morning infinitely more enjoyable. Gracias.

Ms. Palin added that she was wearing beaded earrings handmade by her mother-in-law; a $35 wedding ring from Hawaii that she had bought herself …
She bought that for her fantasy wedding ceremony with noted Hawaii native Barack Obama. The thought of being with that notorious bad boy and terrorist pal just sends shivers down her spine.
terrible tumultuous times thinking terrorists are talking together with twitters and tweets
Three of my favorite lines about the clothes:
“Most of them are still on the plane”
(said, I guess, to make it seem like she got a lot of clothes for that amount of money?)
- there’s only 10 days left before the election, why the F did you buy so many outfits then?
“needs different clothes for the different climates”
-I’ve been to Buffalo, St. Louis, Austin, and Albuquerque since Palin got selected, and I packed the same jacket every time. It seemed to work ok. If it was warm, I didn’t wear it.
“A third of them are going to be returned”
-Uh, is that 1/3 stuff you bought and never wore that’s still on the plane? If so, way to set a good example to the rest of Americans who buy stuff they don’t need. If it’s the stuff she’s worn once… even classier.
Report Says Militants Haven’t Used Twitter to Launch Attacks but Lays Out Possible Scenarios.
Report also said Militants hadn’t eaten a McGriddle this morning but were ‘laying out possible scenarios for breakfast snacks to be consumed’.
is anyone else reminded of that episode of the Simpsons where Marge gets the one pink suit from the consignment shop and has to continually sew it together in different ways to try and fit in at the country club? This Snowbilly is way out of her league, as usual.
HughJennicks: Alliteration for teh win!
agitpropster: Bah! I submitted that as a tip! How dare you scoop me? *shaking fist in impotent rage*
Terry: Well, since Cindy’s just a middle-class small business owner, the Palins are absolutely impoverished at $2.5 million.
John McCain can ‘wax’ all he wants. His legs will still be unappealing.
I saw “Mitch McConnell” and “ass” in that bullet point and immediately clicked the link.
Today is a day of sober reflection . . . and drinking. So, maybe not so sober. But, seriously, what is wrong with me?
