Wonkette
It looks like Sarah Palin is ruining the caliente Miami vacay for all the other Republican governors, and they just hate her for it. Mostly it was Thursday’s linguistics-defying speech, which some anonymous Republican governors have correctly deemed retarded. They say Palin has been selfishly “sucking up all the media oxygen,” which is against the rules of Beach Week, and that she should not appear to be in any leadership position. Oh, and no Beach Week hook-ups count. Former Party Chairman Haley Barbour said the media has plenty of oxygen for all Republican governors to suck, etc., and dismissed the notion with a charming confederate epigram, as is his wont.

Ha, I cry bitter tears of sympathy for republican govs.

The media have their own kind of oxygen? Now that’s elitist.
This is why it’s always a mistake to take your girlfriend on spring break with you.
First post of the day by anyone other than Jim. Free at last, we’re free at last!
Speaking of Republicans and sucking things, you think the Repub govs coordinate their Beach Week with the annual NAMBLA convention?
Then the Republican Governors go down to the beach together for a little surf and splash and Palin whips out her Alaskan basement tan and string bikini. Everyone else is fat and pasty and bloated and hairy except the perpetually tan The Governator, Charlie Crist, and Bobby Jindal who has a natural tan–but alas, he’s ashy. Palin dances in the surf and flips her hair, then shakes her ta-tas for the press that just follow her everywhere. Then she gives an impromptu speech on energy. Then Haley Barbour cries and curses the day he refused to go manscaping with Idaho’s Butch Otter.
Okay, first… in the CNN pic she looks like someone who’s just stood up after giving somebody an under-the-desk blow job. Second, I had to read the first sentence of the CNN article twice before realizing that it didn’t say that many attendees were not happy with the way the “Republic Governor’s Association was executed.” Wishful thinking, j’suppose.
Nice work, Juli.
ALASKA:
Serious Bizness.
…Caribou Barbie is in town? I thought I felt dumber!
Palin sucks…a LOT of oxygen. How will the GOP survive?
GOP 2.0: More bitter! More retarded! More on!
Only in the GOP could a syntactically-challenged woman cock-block a bunch of assholes in suits. Get used to it, gentlemen — it’s going to be a long four years of shoe leather and abstinence.
This is awesome… so awesome… it’s… it’s… like… Dr. Frankenstein being strangled by his own creation.
Sarah Palin: the bride of Frankenstein.
I loved how she cheerfully admitted that she was finally giving her first presser why? “Because the campaign’s over.”
Oblivious to the implication that the REASON she wasn’t allowed to give one during the campaign is that she’s too stupid.
I actually think she’s stupider than Bush.
Okay, I’m serious. That $40,000 stylist was worth every penny.
NoWireHangers: Now that I think about it, its a bit ungrateful of these other govs to be so jealous of all the attention that a hawt snowbilly vag brings to their boring little get together.
If Caribou Barbie wasn’t there, would any reporters be there?
Anonymous Office Zombie: They say there’s no such thing as bad publicity.
You’d think Republicans would be a lot more thankful after Mooselini blew her entire campaign.
The oxygen was not hers. It is provided by the RNC as a prop, like the lights. Silly governors.
Imelda Marcos, eat your heart out! Yours was a mere foot fetish. This babe drinks blood.
You can’t understand her because you only speak Elitist.
Come to think of it, I can’t understand a thing she says, either
Mustang: Indeed. And no cosmetic surgery. I mean, she could have the birthin’ stretchmarks done but once the fundies find out they look like the Last Supper, she will burst right through that 2012 door.
Uncle Al: Palin and Bush do sound like the same stupid person when their words are presented in transcript form. It makes you wonder if the republicans supported them both in spite of the stupid or because of it.
I am just amusedthat all the closeted gay pedophiles are dumbstruck like a bunch of shy teenage boys by a fairly average looking middle aged woman with the public speaking skills of Dan Quayle and the religious sensibilities of Charles Coughlin.
I think the full import of the phrase “Seward’s Folly” is only now becoming apparent.
Anonymous Office Zombie: Repub Beach Week IS the NAMBLA Convention.
Sarah Palin is going to run for everything she can from now until eternity. Expect to see her campaign for both the DNC and RNC vacancies while running for Ted Stevens’ open Senate seat even though Mark Begich actually won it. I have no doubt that she is running in a wet t-shirt contest at some sort of college bar in Ft. Lauderdale at this very moment. You knew it was just a matter of time before she showed us her tits.
.. and I’ll just bet the GOP governors were upset that raving, vacuous dipshits like Texas’ own Prick Perry (Freudian typo) didn’t get to rock the mic more with his Consort-for-Men-caused brain damage.
If Palin shows up at my Beach Week, we’ll bury her in the sand.
Soooo, the new ‘bitters’ are republican gov’nors who speak eeenglish.
Just keep on breathin’ the same oxygen as palin and everythin’ will be a-ok. breath in and out that’s right.
Haley Barbour used to have himself paged over the public address system at Ole Miss football games so lots of people would hear his name. What a douche.
Fair is fair. If Palin didn’t already have a reputation for being dumb as a stump, she wouldn’t have attracted comment for this performance. It was… adequate. That’s a step up for her.
Sure was fun watching those expensive suits pretend to smile while their balls shrunk smaller and smaller.
One small style gripe: I think Confederate should be capitalized in this case, as in “you’d rathur jack off a wildcat in a phone booth wit’ a han’fulla sand spuhrs, than to fuck wit’ Confederate President Haley Barbour. (cf. Ole Miss mascot Haley Barbour; Hazzard County Judge Haley Barbour)
This, as opposed to the lower-case confederacy of dunces that is the RNC.
But you’re the pro, Juli.
Do you have any idea how much I love Wonkette!? Please don’t die.
SwanSwanH: Nice avitar.
Hayley Barbour once sold me a piglet out of the back of a truck. It does all my commenting on Fridays.
norbizness: hahahahahahahahahaahahahaha!
Sounds like some anonymous republicak Governors need a day of beauty.
media love is like oxygen
you get too much, you get too high
not enough and you’re gonna die
media love gets you high
Mustang: Srsly. Supposedly she has a gay friend, but that’s clearly a lie. No gay person would let her walk around with hair like that.
Palin, the first Lolgov. Im @ ur kunvenshunz, suckin’ up all ur ockzijin.
“30 YEAR OLD REPUBLICAN MOM November 13th, 2008 4:03 pm ET
YOU GUYS HAVE LOST YOUR MINDS PALIN IS ONE OF THE MOST ADMIRABLE WOMEN YOU COULD EVER MEET CNN YOU ARE PATHETIC AND LOST”
Ken, is that you? Were you making a funny in the comments section?
“That’s just somebody running down a rabbit trail. There’s plenty of oxygen here,”
Rep Govs suffocate baby rabbits by stealing all their oxygen?
problemwithcaring: Definitely NGF.
Uncle Al: Bush is a Rhodes Scholar compared with Palin. At least he knew his place - be folksy and let Dick & Rove do all the thinking.
jagorev: I’m 90% sure that Josh is not Jim. But only 90%. They may engage in the same yiffpiles, however.
Guvnors, you’re a pack of retards. Palin doesn’t need oxygen, she’s obviously some kind of methane-breathing life form.
“That’s just somebody running down a rabbit trail.”
A tar baby, perhaps.
Excuse me, I come from the North. What does “somebody running down a rabbit trail” mean? Or maybe I don’t care.
problemwithcaring: queeraselvis v 2.0: The CNN pic is the first one in which I’ve found her attractive since hearing her speak. But then again, as a breeder who spends way too much time behind a desk, the “just stood up after giving somebody an under-the-desk blow job” look always excites me. Damn, just listened to her talk again and now I’ve got to go bleach my penis for acting up earlier. brb.
The Republican governors got together to discuss what went so horribly wrong with their white people’s political party for the second consecutive election cycle. Just couldn’t figure it out, so they gave Sarah the microphone to explain things to the liberal media.
It’s always hard to get oxygen when your head is up your ass.
ph7: Win. Mind reader….
So, you’re like say, a Republican Governor, or somethin’, and your State is in the tank below the tank below the other tank. People are losing their jobs, and they can’t pay their mortgages, and revenues are waaaay down, and businesses are closing, and everyone hopes to change their address before the credit card bill comes. You wish that somebody would shit on you, just so you would have a problem you could wipe off.
And then, you have to stand in line and pretend to admire Governor Palin for being fiscally conservative and giving her taxpayers their money back, because Alaska still has oil which she taxes. And you just have to stand there and take it, because you’re so financially irresponsible that you don’t have oil in your state. And you start thinking about how your citizens are sendin’ all their damned money to Alaska to pay for the Palin’s Glorious Success. And then your head explodes.
So, you start working on retribution: Phase 1: Collect clothes Phase 2: ?? Phase 3: Profit!
finallyhappy: Haley Barbour’s your typical redneck politard, and a lot of them seem to work off the formula that noun + verb + farming/animal reference = Instant Heartwarming Folksy Quotable (TM). I’m from the heart of Dixie and can attest that I have never heard anyone say that shit in any context, but especially not to mean “That’s nonsense,” which is what I assume he meant here.
