Thank You, Moose Clown, For Helping the Republicans Have Such An Epic Loss


Here is some wingnut PAC that seems real … either that, or somebody out there is a secret master of Political Satire and has a lot of fat/dumb relatives who will do anything for more Hot Cheetos and Truck Nutz. Thank you, Sarah Palin, you fucking idiot! [Our Country PAC]

    Sarah Palin I thank you, the country thanks you, and most of all, Barack Obama thanks you.

  2. For some reason I can’t even explain or understand, I HATE that woman at the very end who asks the question about the moose chili. Why do I hate her so much?

  3. This is brilliant, either way. It’s just close enough that I can’t rule out satire, but I am saying there’s a 90% chance this is earnest and real. When will the stream of hilarious Sarah Palin videos end??? I need to finally get a job one day.

  4. I think this is the first time anyone has accused Sarah Palin of “articulate advocacy.” Fightin’ words, you betcha, also.

  5. Uncle Al says at 2:22 pm, November 24th, 2008

    I kept waiting to find out what they were thanking her for.

  6. NewSpence says at 2:23 pm, November 24th, 2008

    The sheriff’s a what?

  7. lizardmess says at 2:24 pm, November 24th, 2008

    “rather than opting out for an abortion as some would have had her done.”

    In what respect, Charlie is this a sentence in English?

  8. Noodle Salad says at 2:24 pm, November 24th, 2008

    Of the many things to be thankful for this season, Sarah Palin’s cornucopia of fail is among the best.

  9. Rodney Badger says at 2:25 pm, November 24th, 2008

    Follow the link and click on “Who We Are.” Funny stuff. Play spot the homo, you can’t lose!

  10. Jobbotch says at 2:26 pm, November 24th, 2008

    So what exactly has she “inspired” the creepy preteen boy to do? Or, for that matter, his “not so young” grandma?

  11. SuperRounder says at 2:27 pm, November 24th, 2008

    Sussemilch: Don’t forget Tina Fey. Tina got a lot of air time out of this mess.

  12. MargeSimpsonsBlackFriend says at 2:27 pm, November 24th, 2008

    I don’t know about you guys, but I certainly hope she runs in 2012.

  13. mattbolt says at 2:28 pm, November 24th, 2008

    Haha, where did they get that random black dude? He certainly wasn’t in the Wonderbread crowd at the end. How much is the going rate to make a minority say lies in a political ad these days?

  14. DemmeFatale says at 2:28 pm, November 24th, 2008

    Dave J.: She’s like the cherry on a barf-flavored sundae.

  15. Jobbotch: Inspired them to realize that no matter how ignorant, stupid, bigoted, trashy, and unqualified you are, you too can run for vice president on a major-party ticket and crash and burn spectacularly. And goddamnit if that ain’t the American Way.

  16. mdotsota says at 2:29 pm, November 24th, 2008

    Why was Karl Malone wearing that hat?

  17. I’m sure they pulled that crowd from the local plasma donation center.

  18. this country really is moving forward. negro amish! thanks sarah palin.

  19. mattbolt says at 2:32 pm, November 24th, 2008

    I found the moose chili recipe!

    1 whole moose, helicopter-shot
    1 cup, gin
    a small bowl of arugula
    2 nutz, from any variety of truck
    1 slice from Gotcha Journalism Pizza Place

    Marinate for 5 AND A HALF YEARS

  20. Cape Clod says at 2:32 pm, November 24th, 2008

    ‘Thank you, Sarah Palin, you fucking idiot!’

    That should be Wonkette’s slogan.

  21. I’ve carefully analyzed the video. It is a secret code calling the followers to congregate for some sort of secret butt sex orgy in a remote Utah canyon.

  22. FreshCliches says at 2:33 pm, November 24th, 2008

    Sarah -

    Thank you for being the wondrous person that you are. When the history books will be written, I will now be viewed with much more grace, thanks to you.

    Warmest Regards,
    Dan Quayle

  24. problemwithcaring says at 2:34 pm, November 24th, 2008

    Go the fuck away.

  25. shortsshortsshorts says at 2:35 pm, November 24th, 2008

    FreshCliches: Whatever Quayle. Spell “p-o-t-a-t-o” for us.

  26. Rodney Badger says at 2:36 pm, November 24th, 2008

    mattbolt: mdotsota: He’s Lloyd Marcus, spokesnegro for ourcountrypac. Howard Kaloogian is the man in charge of OCP. You may remember him from his numerous failed runs for national office, and series of fake photos of safe Baghdad and of him on location in Florida, Iraq. So yeah, the collective chub they have for Sarah is legit.

    The website is comedy cold. Here’s more on Lloyd:

    “Lloyd Marcus is a passionate and patriotic American who has been a leader in the fight for common sense conservative values.

    A talented singer/songwriter, Mr. Marcus has been featured at numerous conservative events, such as the Gathering Of Eagles pro-troop/pro-veteran rallies.

    Lloyd has written moving testimonials about his dedication to become the best he could be in life and to apply his talents and energies in a land blessed with freedoms and opportunities unequaled anywhere else in the world. He laments those who instead have chosen to pursue the path of bitterness and resentment.

    After Florida officials decided to change their state song, many Floridians turned to the talents of Lloyd Marcus as he penned the song, “We Call Florida Home” which quickly became a favorite candidate for official state song.

    Lloyd Marcus has touched the hearts of Americans across this great land with his powerful songs “United We Stand” and “Sarah Smile” - a tribute to Vice Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin. You can learn more about Lloyd at his personal website: http://www.LloydMarcus.net.”

  27. user-of-owls says at 2:41 pm, November 24th, 2008

    mattbolt: Rodney Badger: Wow. Amazing what you can get for a 40 and a sammich these days.

  28. Here’s a picture of Lloyd Marcus with Joe THE Plumber’s parents!

    http://www.LloydMarcus.net/Images/LloydwithJoeThePlumbersParents2.jpg !

  29. FreshCliches says at 2:42 pm, November 24th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: Let’s call the whole thing off.

  30. Hooray For Anything says at 2:43 pm, November 24th, 2008

    I guess I must have missed the part of the video where it says “no turkeys were harmed in the filming of this ad.”

  31. Fivetree says at 2:43 pm, November 24th, 2008

    This has GOT to be satirical. Clue #1: where did they dig up the African American Amish dude?

  32. shanemcgowan says at 2:44 pm, November 24th, 2008

    Much funnier than Andy Samberg.

  33. ronaldpagan:

    only the pathologically obsessive would do something like that

  34. Fivetree says at 2:45 pm, November 24th, 2008

    Joe the Plumber thanks you. Joe the Biden thanks you. Vladimir Putin’s head thanks you. Nieman Marcus thanks you. Katie Couric thanks you. The moose…..not so much.

  35. ronaldpagan says at 2:47 pm, November 24th, 2008

    Rodney Badger: He also penned (and probably illustrated) the trippy and heartwarming anti-sombrero song, “Can’t Afford The Sunshine.”

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TD82q1ZYa44

  36. snowblind says at 2:47 pm, November 24th, 2008

    Any hope of a Palin response to this along the lines of ‘You’re welcome!’ ???

    That would be beautiful, kind of reminiscent of that Mr. Show skit…

    “Gee Dave, did you know that Abraham Lincoln, a WHITE MALE, freed the slaves back in 1863? So on behalf of white males everywhere, I’d just like a moment to say to black folks, ‘You’re welcome!’”

  37. Anonymous Office Zombie says at 2:49 pm, November 24th, 2008

    OMG… OMG…

    I completely lost it when granny asked about the moose chilli.

  38. Rodney Badger says at 2:49 pm, November 24th, 2008

    pepe: For reasons I can’t articulate, that photo sums up the McCain campaign.

    Also, do you think he let them keep the CD’s? If so, how long do you think it would take them to find their copies, assuming they didn’t throw them out?

  39. shortsshortsshorts says at 2:50 pm, November 24th, 2008

    Palin pardons no turkeys, spares no moose and apologizes for nothing.

  40. Fivetree:

    Sadly, no. It is a very real product of serial wingtard nutcake Howard Kaloogian. Ask the intergoogle about him, sometime.

  41. DustBowlBlues says at 2:53 pm, November 24th, 2008

    Dave J.: “moose chili. Why do I hate her so much?”

    Because she’s fat and stupid? Just a guess.

  42. obfuscator says at 2:53 pm, November 24th, 2008

    ronaldpagan: He didn’t take the easy way out and just cover “Ain’t No Sunshine”, he wrote an original composition. Don’t tax him for working hard!!1!

    Please tell me that “Sarah Smile” is a cover of the Hall & Oates song.

  43. Wonder if the next token broad on a National ticket will thank, “Geraldine Ferraro, Hillary Clinton, and Sarah Palin… losers all… Special shout out to the Los Angeles Clippers and Washington Generals for more inspiration.”

  44. freeatlast says at 2:54 pm, November 24th, 2008

    Isn’t that a commercial for that show that’s on right after This Week with George Stephanopoulos on Sundays? The churchies show…

  45. longjohnson says at 2:56 pm, November 24th, 2008

    It is always great to see an entire nation of trailer parks rise up and salute Sarah.

  46. snideinplainsight says at 2:56 pm, November 24th, 2008

    Why is the word ‘old’ treated as a pejorative in this video? “the young, and the not-so-young”? Really, hadn’t the party of Palin cornered the market on old people?

  47. DieOnTheTurnpike says at 2:56 pm, November 24th, 2008

    mattbolt: Going rate is 10 Obama Bucks.

  48. Rodney Badger says at 2:58 pm, November 24th, 2008

    ronaldpagan: I watched it until the end, with the sound off because I’m at work, not working. American Hero Lloyd Marcus did, in fact, do the art for that video. I also watched the Sarah Smile video, and threw up when I realized that Lloyd Marcus masturbates to it.

  49. Datsun510 says at 3:04 pm, November 24th, 2008

    This is horrifying because it is REAL! I was so happy to get through two or three news cycles without the mention of her name. But it appears that a group of mentlly ill AMERICANS have decided that they are not ready to let her go away. She is Apocalypstick. More than just a few nuts think she is the future of their party. Go to the website. Read their posts. They acknowledge her innumerable flaws, and still think that after the rest of America gets over the damage done by THE MEDIA, then all of America will “like her” again. Just like Sally Field!

    Be afraid America! Be afraid of Apocalypstick and the damage she and her ilk can do.

  50. DustBowlBlues says at 3:12 pm, November 24th, 2008

    It is so fucking easy to be an important Republican if you’re black. Okrahoman’s own J.C. Watts for example, or that really creepy guy who ran for the senate against Obama. And how about that cross-eyed black guy who makes appearances on Chris Matthews?

    If Marcus were a Democrat, his musical chops would be judged against the like of John Legend, and for anyone to notice him, he would need to be as articulate as Jesse Jackson Jr, or as good looking, smart and talented as the people the Obamas are appointing to stuff. Sweet Christ, Michele’s social secretary makes Madame Sarkozy look lame.

    To be a big-cheese black Republican you need to be, well, black. Oh, a total sell-out suck butt.

  51. ioksotot23 says at 3:12 pm, November 24th, 2008

    Was that an Amish Kenyan exorcist?

  52. Atypical says at 3:15 pm, November 24th, 2008

    MargeSimpsonsBlackFriend

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

  53. bignutz2 says at 3:18 pm, November 24th, 2008

    Kalgooriliooe is not only Armenian and divorced, but v v short as well.

  54. answerbird says at 3:23 pm, November 24th, 2008

    Thank you Sarah. Run again in 2012, you will finish off the Republican party!

  55. finallyhappy says at 3:25 pm, November 24th, 2008

    I thought it was satire- but in fact, the stupidity of many Americans is real. However, I can’t let my Sarah go. I need her for 2012 with Mikey Steele, the Newt, Huck, Bobby Jindal and whatever other cretins the GOP can dig up to fight for the nomination. Anyone think Willow will be pregnant by then(or is it Piper-I get them mixed up)? AND when is the BRISTOL/LEVI wedding????

  56. PsycGirl says at 3:26 pm, November 24th, 2008

    Did someone use the word “articulate” to describe Sarah Palin? I’ve been grading bad papers all day and she’s worse than any of them.
    Also, are you sure that the African American person is male? Seemed ambiguous to me. Also.

  57. Start anywhere: LINK.

  58. Sarah is trying to rehabilitate her image. We have not seen the last of this psychopath.

  59. OMFG!! That should be labeled Pr0n!!! I have never seen so many people, from so many different races, genders, age groups and nationalities engage in such dick-sucking and ass-kissing (aka felching) in all of my life!!! I mean REALLY! Who knew Sarah was a hermaphodite?!

  60. Fivetree says at 3:36 pm, November 24th, 2008

    blader: Don’t you just LOVE adding the suffix “tard” to just about everything? I am sure that I am going to be a hit at the Thanksgiving dinner when I ask my Niecetards to pass the fucking gravy.

    ioksotot23: Okay, so where DO they dig up a Black Lesbian Amish Person? Can anyone say Pennsylvannia Butch?

  61. In Sarah Palin, God shows his hand. Or at least perhaps a finger. Which finger he shows is left to the imaginative.

  62. JamesMichaelCurley says at 3:39 pm, November 24th, 2008

    Rodney Badger: Are there any Republicans in this entire country who are not using some shade of political idolatry to put money in their own pockets?

  63. Sarah Palin (vp@whitehouse.gov) says at 3:49 pm, November 24th, 2008

    Well my GOODNESS you are all just so WELCOME. Also.

    -SP

  64. Perfect demographic targeting. You want to know the contents of Moose Chili?

    Hmmm, let me think now, oh, its coming to me. Hmmm, hmmm, is the answer, let me guess, but I am not heretofore sure in and to what exact respect, but I am guessing here does it have something to do with…MOOSE?

    Ohh, that was a hard one, you gotcha bloggers. Shame on you

  65. Even in commercials supporting her, they won’t let her talk at length. It’s a far better idea to let people project their lust for her on an empty canvas

  66. Thank You, Moose Clown, For Helping the Republicans Have Such An Epic Loss Since when is screwing up a career-negative? Look at Larry Summers.

  67. Borat: Sarah is living proof of Locke’s tabula rasa theory of the mind. He argued against innate ideas on the grounds that children and idiots don’t have them.

  68. mattbolt: that was a black guy was a dude? Is he one of those guys McCain was paying $5/hour to make those non-robocall robocalls. The one who was ‘pposed to talk in a ghetto voice

    “Yo this Jerome Powers, of da civil action committee callin’ to tell ya election tuesday is really on a thursday, or you don’t even have to come at all”

  69. kentuckienne2 says at 4:20 pm, November 24th, 2008

    I would just like to point out that this group is run by a guy named “Hon. Howard Kaloogian.” Which has to be the greatest last name ever.

  70. Edward Bulwer-Lytton says at 4:29 pm, November 24th, 2008

    Oh wow! Check out their awesome ‘Who We Are’ page which includes a bio of former Lupertasi Crime Family consiglieri and current OurCountryPac ‘Chief Strategist’ Salvatore ‘Sal’ Russo. If you dick w/ him, he’ll fucking break you in two.

  71. bopumofu says at 4:30 pm, November 24th, 2008

    Fashions in the ‘hood change so fast. I just can’t keep up. Gotta get me one of them hats.

  72. lizardmess says at 4:33 pm, November 24th, 2008

    I’m glad this PAC spent $50,000 on a Thank You note. There is literally nothing else they could have spent it on.

  73. boredcommunist says at 4:45 pm, November 24th, 2008

    Articulate. Nothing could have made me laugh more.

  74. Aurelio: I was indeed thinking of tabula rasa but didn’t know how common a reference it was.

    It would also have looked strange if I mentioned that and as usual ended my post with TRUCKNUTZ012!!!1!!

  75. boredcommunist: “articulate”, yes? “clean”, I’m not sure - I remember some GOP accountant coming to Alaska to lay claim the whole family’s Sak’s underpants recently? I’m also led to understand these would be donated to charity

  76. LarryFeltonJ says at 5:06 pm, November 24th, 2008

    This sentiment has been expressed by many other liberal Democrats with far more impressive snarkiness than I’m able to muster, but:

    PLEASE wingnuts, throw any and all energy you’re not pouring into the Obama birth certificate issue to build support in the GOP for Sarah Palin in 2012. First cast the anti-Palin apostates from your midst. Then make hundreds of videos like this. Make the moose chili lady with the spoon a national icon on the scale of Joe the Plumber. In fact have her tour with Joe the Plumber, Shirley Nagel, and Ashley Todd. I’d buy tickets to that tour.

    You already have two important voter blocks in the tank for Palin: wingnuts and political satirists.
    I’m really enthused with this watermark video, and hope it catches fire among the smoldering embers left by the self-immolation of the GOP.

  77. finallyhappy says at 5:08 pm, November 24th, 2008

    Borat: Tabula Rasa- yeah, that is what Nader orders when he goes toeat at Skewers at 17th and P.

  78. Sans the Diaper says at 5:31 pm, November 24th, 2008

    I love her and never want her to go away.

  79. Our country does, indeed, deserve better.

    That video is a classic example of ten pounds of duh in a five-pound sack.

  80. Pat Pending says at 5:38 pm, November 24th, 2008

    wow… after that, all I can say is a sincere, heart-felt:

    “Also.”

  81. Hey hey, this day is getting good! The snowbilly emailed me from Alaska! I guess she’s back to her mayorial duties finally!

  82. Seriously, if you’re trying pay lip service to the idea of “diversity” in the Sarah Palin wing of the Republican Party, why the fuck do you pick the most goofy looking person — white, black, red, yellow, gay, straight, moose — as your token black guy? What is that a fucking slouch hat? This isn’t New Zealand, kiwi.

  83. hemlockecho says at 6:57 pm, November 24th, 2008

    The “black Amish” guy 30 seconds in is actually Clarence Gilyard*, “sidekick” to Chuck Norris in Walker, Texas Ranger.

    *not really

  84. Cape Clod: FTW. It should be the closing sentence on every post.

    Better than TruckNutz!, even, you betcha.

  85. mowgliwest says at 7:16 pm, November 24th, 2008

    thank you, sarah palin, for giving drag queens everywhere possibilities for a new act.

  86. sailingthestyx says at 11:32 pm, November 24th, 2008

    Rodney Badger: it was tough…had to sort through several child molesters and there are a few that look sorta fay, you know….I mean the knucklehead kid near the bottom who looks like he just pulled his head out of his ass and his hair is all pointing up…gotta say, might have failed a multiple choice test; you betcha…

    I really needed this. I’ve been in Sarah Palin withdrawal for 2 weeks now. Jesus, this felt good.
