SEXIST CLOTHING SHENANIGANS

Nicolle Wallace Will Not Be Thrown Under The Bus

Sorry, there is no room left in the tank.The Republican equivalent of being sent to the gulag is babysitting Sarah Palin, and this thankless task has fallen to former Bush staffer and current McCain employee Nicolle Wallace. What unspeakable sin did Wallace commit in order to be saddled with this terrible burden? Only History will tell. But for now she insists it is awesome to hang out with Sarah Palin all the time, and also she did not buy her all those clothes like Fred Barnes said she did.

Everybody knows already that Jeff Larson is the human responsible for decorating Sarah Palin with a mountain of expensive European finery when all she wanted was to shuffle around in humble peasant garb forever. But for some reason — sexism perhaps HMMM? — Fred Barnes said on FOX News that Nicolle Wallace bought Sarah Palin all her clothes, which made her, Ms. Wallace, a “coward.”

So then Wallace told Wonkette editor emerita Ana Marie Cox that Fred Barnes could eat a dick, the end. And also this:

Look, in Sarah Palin’s case, first [the media complained] she didn’t give interviews and then the interviews she did were all wrong. There’s a standard applied to her that I don’t see applied to Joe Biden.

Which is totally true, by the way! Here is the “double standard”: Joe Biden has to give press conferences every day, and Sarah Palin does not.

Anyway, Fred Barnes apologized yesterday, so Nicolle does not have to go under the bus yet.

  1. Someone shouted the n-word at a rally for Barbie…and she continued talking without skipping a beat. Video posted on counterpunch.com. The reasons to hate the bitch just keep coming…

  2. NoWireHangers says at 1:35 pm, October 29th, 2008

    She should be thrown under the bus for spelling Nicole with 2 L’s.

  3. AlexTrebeksGirl says at 1:35 pm, October 29th, 2008

    In that picture Nicole looks like walnuts with honey colored hair with golden tones.

  4. By the end of this election there will be only two kinds of people in the world: ones who are under the bus, and ones who are in the tank.

  5. ColdCupofHope says at 1:37 pm, October 29th, 2008

    Sexy. What’s wrong with being sexy? Oh, sex-ist. That’s different. Cause Fred Barnes is NOT SEXY.

    CA-CHOW! Take that, Fred Barnes.

  6. Itsjustme says at 1:37 pm, October 29th, 2008

    Is she having sex with Palin or not?

  7. 3dollarbill says at 1:37 pm, October 29th, 2008
  8. What did Nicole Wallace do? Ask Detective Bobby Goren!

  9. Slightly OT: That “Neiman Marxist” game about how you could buy 800 uniforms for police officers with Sarah’s handbag is, like, the least fun flash game, ever. But, if it brings in extra $$$ for Jim Newell’s coke habit, I promise to play it all day today instead of doing any work.

  10. Sussemilch says at 1:39 pm, October 29th, 2008

    I thought the double standard was that Joe Biden had to appear like he had the experience of a guy who’s been a Senator longer than Wasilla has been a city, and Sarah Palin just had to be housebroken, use utensils, and not dress like she was raised by wolves.

  11. Gopherit says at 1:39 pm, October 29th, 2008

    I think she might be a future Mrs Walnuts, with that penchant for lying and the obvious drug use…..wait, she’s not wealthry? Well, forget it, then.

  12. southernbitch says at 1:39 pm, October 29th, 2008

    it is fairly obvious from every picture of nicolle wallace that she did not gussy-up palin. that haircut alone probably disqualifies her from even entering neiman marcus.

  13. I don’t know about this . . . Giving credit where credit is due (God know Palin really doesn’t have much to receive credit for) Palin did dress pretty well.

    So, unless this Larson fellow is one of them Homer-Sexuals, I’m thinking someone else might have made the decisions on which articles of clothing to purchase for our little trailer-trash diva.

  14. brain meats says at 1:40 pm, October 29th, 2008

    Wallace is obviously in the tank for Team Fairy Dust, she used Hopey’s signature “Look” to begin her sentence!

    That’s to signal some hot Maddow action, I just know it.

  15. shortsshortsshorts says at 1:40 pm, October 29th, 2008

    Fred Barnes: “we don’t know whether humans are causing this — we don’t even know whether global warming’s bad. Me, I like warmer weather.”

    The Weekly Standard’s new slogan should be “Fuck you, America.”

  16. Hmmm….I’ve never had sex under a bus.

  17. of being sent to the gulag

    Good point: Sarah Palin *is* Siberia.

  18. 3-legged Bloodhound says at 1:41 pm, October 29th, 2008

    She’s ugly. Is that sexist?

  19. Well, Nicole, since your political career is dead, I guess it’s back to pole dancing, with drunken Fred Barnes stuffing $10 bills into your Nieman-Marcus G-string.

  20. Tommy Says Soooo says at 1:43 pm, October 29th, 2008

    No, what’s sexist is that Wallace is do-able in a beejer kind of way. Which Gaffey Joe isn’t.

  21. 3dollarbill says at 1:44 pm, October 29th, 2008

    rambone: Larson a Homer-Sexual? (How did he get connected to the Simpsons?) Well Larson is a “Karl Rove protégé” you connect the dots

  22. Kev-O-Tron says at 1:44 pm, October 29th, 2008

    Itsjustme: whoa.

    Republican lesbo stuff is a porno genre I have not yet explored. I bet it’s hotter than a Mt. Holyoke Young Republicans dorm party. Can we throw Cheney’s girl in the mix too?

  23. she was on msnbc the other day and i thought for sure she was gonna crawl under the desk and blow the host. desk , bus , whats the diff?

  24. Styrofoam Boots says at 1:47 pm, October 29th, 2008

    When are they going to admit that Palin is just a physical manifestation of MTV’s Pimp My RIde.

  25. El Bombastico says at 1:48 pm, October 29th, 2008

    Did we ever find out where the $5,000 in clothes from Atelier went? Don’t know if anyone’s been to that store, but its basically a men’s store for trust-fund hipsters, with $600 faux-vintage t-shirts, Japanese sneakers and Eurotrash denim. So clearly Todd Palin’s bread-and-butter. Why do I think there’s a 23-year-old RNC staffer with a new wardrobe of kick-ass club gear?

  26. echoman2000 says at 1:49 pm, October 29th, 2008

    tanks and buses and wonks, oh my!

  27. he seems ok says at 1:49 pm, October 29th, 2008

    Is anyone else praying as much as me that the McCain campaign agreed to let a film crew follow them with all access for documentary purposes ?

    I know it is unlikely for McCain (bet Obama has one though), but an insider look at the McCain campaign has potential to be the best political documentary (and possibly film) of all time.

  28. magic titty says at 1:49 pm, October 29th, 2008

    NoWireHangers: Seriously. Is her brother named Anfernee?

  29. Nicolle Wallace looks like the older, fatter sister of Chloe from 24.

  30. magic titty says at 1:51 pm, October 29th, 2008

    Styrofoam Boots: Win, obviously.

  31. hedgehog says at 1:54 pm, October 29th, 2008

    3-legged Bloodhound: I’d hit that in my library in front of the fire after Coleman serves me a crepe …

  32. Not_So_Much says at 1:54 pm, October 29th, 2008

    Meh, she’s one of the skank-ho’s that early on was lording her amazingness, access and authority over the press to try to bully them into submission. Well, ‘try’ might not be accurate given the campaign’s success.

    But, given her level of eeee-vil, I’m fine with her being stuck in snowbilly purgatory.

  33. Cogito Ergo Bibo says at 1:55 pm, October 29th, 2008

    What’s the most graceful way to lie underneath a bus?
    N: [Laughter] We’ll see. I’m figuring it out as I go.
    Like, should you keep your legs crossed?
    N: Nobody ever wants to be a distraction. I’ve never believed that people care about staff. Not since Mary Matalin and James Carville have there been staff worth paying attention to.

    How are you supposed to have sex under the bus with your legs crossed? Does this interviewer know anything?!

  34. In the NY Times Mag piece about the imploding McCain campaign from about 2 weeks ago, Wallace is reported to have wept during Palin’s rancid convention speech. So she is probably in earnest in saying she really wuvs Sarah.

  35. Elite_Princess says at 1:56 pm, October 29th, 2008

    southernbitch: sweet. Plus, the suit on her in that photo is SUCH a dull color. Ugh.

  36. bitchincamaro says at 1:57 pm, October 29th, 2008

    Tommy Says Soooo: Def worthy of a pity-fuck.

  37. Styrofoam Boots: Perhaps by the end of this week, McCain will reveal the flip-down LCD display and Xbox 360 they had installed in Sarah Palin.

  38. HuskyMescan says at 1:59 pm, October 29th, 2008

    Nicole has to change Palin’s kids diapers as well as Grampa McCains. It must suck to be a McCain “aide.”

  39. 3-legged Bloodhound says at 1:59 pm, October 29th, 2008

    Why is Palin getting her sexy fashion advice from a sexless blonde wearing a leisure suit?

  40. She looks exactly like my dad’s girlfriend’s sister, who is…a great cook.

  41. MathewBrooks says at 2:01 pm, October 29th, 2008

    NoWireHangers: No shit. How do you even pronounce that? Nico-elle?

  42. Anonymous Office Zombie says at 2:01 pm, October 29th, 2008

    “So then Wallace told Wonkette editor emerita Ana Marie Cox that Fred Barnes could eat a dick, the end.”

    Fred Barnes should eat Kristol Meth’s dick live on Fox on election night since they’re both such giant Palintards.

  43. One more self-loathing dyke. I bet she went to prep school with Mary Cheney. Get outta that dirty bath-water honey and give us all a break.

  44. jodyleek says at 2:06 pm, October 29th, 2008

    Is Mrs. Wallace the mythical lesbian friend of one Sarah Palin? That photo sure makes
    me think so.

  45. The White Crow says at 2:06 pm, October 29th, 2008

    After Nov. 4th she will be sent to babysit Trig in Anchorage.

    Within a 17 days it will come across the wire that ex-McCain staffer commits suicide by running through a herd of moose during mating season.

  46. But wouldn’t throwing people under it finally give the “Straigh Talk Express” a purpose?

  47. Also, if she didn’t buy all those clothes, whose clothes *did* she buy?

  48. BklynIlluminati says at 2:08 pm, October 29th, 2008

    Do you think they equipped her with a cattle-prod and bag of treats? You know for all those “off-message” adventures and self-serving episodes.

  49. masterdebater says at 2:09 pm, October 29th, 2008

    Not a single ” I would so do her” comment….Oh, wait, I looked at her picture again. Never mind.

  50. Plus for no make up. I hope that’s no make up.

  51. Larry Fine says at 2:09 pm, October 29th, 2008

    She looks like Dana Perrino’s ugly sister

  52. Itsjustme says at 2:11 pm, October 29th, 2008

    Kev-O-Tron: Well, I don’t thing she would mind at all.

  53. Nobody puts Nicolle Wallace in a corner.

  54. MathewBrooks says at 2:12 pm, October 29th, 2008

    Larry Fine: Yeah, ‘looks like.’

  55. HuskyMescan says at 2:12 pm, October 29th, 2008

    Jake Byrd at a Palin KKK Witch-burning rally in Beaver, Penn.:
    Palin loves Beaver!

  56. Tommy Says Soooo says at 2:13 pm, October 29th, 2008

    Larry Fine: Who works as a copy editor.

  57. magic titty says at 2:14 pm, October 29th, 2008

    Hey you slutty Wonktards. Here’s your Barry orgasm-inducing speech of the day:
    http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/10/obama_im_sorry_to_see_my_oppon.php

    If you’re at work, and the bosses catch you fondling yourself, just tell them you were manipulating your ‘twitter’ or whatever.

  58. Godot: I wonder if she too mithses Edgar.

  59. kth: She was just relieved that she can read the teleprompter without an incident. Remember she led the gruelling tutoring sessions.

  60. “Do you have a motto?”
    Last one out turn off the lights.

  61. Part of the job description is, must throw self between candidate and press, screaming “Thank you, thank you, everybody back on the bus, thank you!!!

  62. I have no compassion for this woman. Greta Van Sustern School of Modeling photo aside, she either is a coward for not resigning (if she has a soul) or she’s really just a dumb, hateful, “Hannitized” Republican hag.

  63. southernbitch: I dunno. I have yet to see a hairdresser with good hair.

  64. edgydrifter says at 2:19 pm, October 29th, 2008

    That look has WNBA coach written all over it.

  65. hockeymom says at 2:20 pm, October 29th, 2008

    rambone: Besides finding Palin a FABULOUS wardrobe, that Larson fella is the one who provided Norm Coleman with that dirt cheap apartment in DC.
    The guy is BUSY.

  66. Worlds End says at 2:20 pm, October 29th, 2008

    HuskyMescan: wow hahaha

  67. magic titty says at 2:23 pm, October 29th, 2008

    edgydrifter: Thank you for this.

  68. One thing I don’t get about the clothing story - why do they think “Oh, Sarah just wore it once and then we returned it” is a defense?

    Yeah, we all know people who do this, but we tend to call them things like “scumbags” …

  69. southernbitch: Hahaha… I’m glad you said it… I was going to say something about that but I figured I’d be accused of being sexist and run out of town by the ever-so-sensitive-to-sleights-against-women Republicans.

  70. sanantonerose says at 2:27 pm, October 29th, 2008

    ColdCupofHope: SMELL THE GLOVE.

  71. HuskyMescan says at 2:27 pm, October 29th, 2008

    Worlds End: “little kiddy factory” hahaha

  72. lampadadog says at 2:27 pm, October 29th, 2008

    There’s no way Nicolle is responsible for clothing Sarah. Look at her outfit in the picture! No way.

  73. edgydrifter: or LPGA

  74. a-petit dejeuner says at 2:34 pm, October 29th, 2008

    What does Nicole Wallace look like? Does Nicole Wallace look like a bitch? Does she look like a bitch?
    You know she don’t like being screwed except by Mr. Wallace. And the entire McCain campaign.

  75. Meth Lab for Cutie says at 2:37 pm, October 29th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: good thing Freddie likes warm weather, cause that asshole is goin’ to hell.

  76. WoundedVeteran says at 2:40 pm, October 29th, 2008

    I thought, if I make a hat of aluminum foil, in the shape of an ass, with a GOP button at working part, I can tune in to John McGoo’s thoughts. Well, I made the hat, but all I got were songs from the late sixties by Don Ho, you know the crooner from Hawaii. I mean, I remember him from R&R, but he’s been dead for some time now. Then I thought, well, Barack Obama was born on that island paradise, maybe they are cosmically connected, I mean Don Ho singing “I’m Sorry” and “Born To Lose” and then “Paint It Black”, it was too weird. Then I heard a small voice, “smaller hat, McGoo’s face, little head” It took a while and a little, o.k., a lot more Jose, but I got it. I got one of my old softball bats and fashioned a likeness of John McGoo, looked at several pictures of Sara Palin’s boobs, and slipped the little hat on my little head, and va va voom, there was Sara Palin, writhing in ecstasy beneath me, arms flailing, teeth gnashing, just foaming at the mouth, then I notice the room is walled with mirrors, lights are flashing, I look to the front and I’m not RIDING THIS PONY. It’s JOHN McGOO, and Ted Stevens is standing at a door that leads to a room filled with naked white haired men, with a roll of tickets and a dispenser of Viagra. Like I say, I confused, what does it mean???

  77. Itsjustme says at 2:41 pm, October 29th, 2008

    grendel: Sexism and Honesty are too totally different things. Neither of which can or will be found in any good republican.

  78. Itsjustme says at 2:42 pm, October 29th, 2008

    Or for that matter, TWO…..

  79. 4tehlulz says at 2:47 pm, October 29th, 2008

    Why is there a photo of Eleanor Clift with this post?

  80. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 2:54 pm, October 29th, 2008

    It’s all right, Nicolle. Just show me on the doll where Sarah touched you.

  81. Tommy Says Soooo says at 3:15 pm, October 29th, 2008

    Who will have the better Election Night sex, Hopey and Michelle in the throes of Angry Black Liberation Othello sex or Nicolll!!!e and her tearful bitter loser comfort sex?

  82. lawrenceofthedesert says at 3:28 pm, October 29th, 2008

    Cries at Palin speeches, loves to watch ET and read People magazine; it’s good to know the future of the GOP has been intellectually fortified. This woman should be selling Mary Kay cosmetics.

  83. natteringnaybob says at 3:30 pm, October 29th, 2008

    WoundedVeteran: Been there. Bad mushrooms.

  84. Nicole’s cute; someone get out of the tank to make a little room for her.

  85. ConstitutionalRiots says at 3:47 pm, October 29th, 2008

    southernbitch: The most obvious person behind Wardrobe Gate is Mrs. John S. McCain. I’m sure Cindy took one look at Ms. Wasilla, and said, “Nononononono, sugar I need to take you shopping. You’ll look like a million bucks when I get finished with you. And we’ll gussy up the whole family for FREE!! I’ve got a stylist who can just make a few changes to your hair and makeup, and (she’ll make a million bucks) so you won’t have to worry about a thing. You just get out there and stick those boobs out and do that fun pageant walking thing you do.”

  86. Carrie_Okie says at 3:55 pm, October 29th, 2008

    Now we can all has a socialism:
    “we’re set up, unlike other states in the union, where it’s collectively Alaskans own the resources. So we share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs.”

    Sarah Palin to Philip Gourevitch in the New Yorker

  87. palmerdawg says at 5:42 pm, October 29th, 2008

    Godot: I rather be in the tank, it’s better cause it can be a water, jello, pudding, ice cream.

  88. palmerdawg says at 5:46 pm, October 29th, 2008

    She would make a greeeeeeeat stripper and turn tricks on the side.

  89. El Bombastico: the Atelier on the RNC expense report is listed at 47th st and 7th avenue, which is a Doubletree Inn in Times Square that hosted a women’s fashion trade show full of hand-painted scarves called Atelier. It’s about as far as you can get, fashionwise, from the hiptard Atelier in SoHo.

  90. 3-legged Bloodhound says at 11:49 pm, October 29th, 2008

    Just came back here to see if that bitch was as ugly as I remembered.
    She is.
