ARSON!

Sarah Palin’s Church Got Burnted

She will start going to church here now, in the dumpsterThe Wasilla Bible Church was attacked by fire monsters on Friday night and suffered a million dollars’ worth of damage. Police think an arsonist set the fire. Sarah Palin apologized if the arson was related to people hating her for running for Vice President. Wait, what? Some people don’t like Sarah Palin? [AP]

    The impact of the funny tattoo parlor/dumpster photo is blunted when you see the actual photos of the “church,” which is/was much less architecturally impressive than the tattoo parlor. Here’s a bigger one than the AP story has: http://tinyurl.com/62jx8s

  2. My garage looks nicer than that church. What could have costed $1m or is this some Snowbilly money making game:
    1) collect on insurance (they burned the Picasso!)
    2) move church to other location to put more lucrative table dancing bar in its place. And by lucrative I mean fees for ‘facilitating’ the license
    3) slushy rebuilding contracts

    Or it just could be some way of persecuting the gayz.

    “undeserved negative attention”

    Still playing the victim.

  4. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 9:10 am, December 15th, 2008

    Holy smoke!

    Please don’t ban me.

  5. Formerly Preferred says at 9:10 am, December 15th, 2008

    Arson is terrible, and it’s especially bad with people in the building.

    You know what else is terrible? This giant picture of Campbell Brown, judging me with her dead eyes.

  6. SlouchingTowardsWasilla says at 9:10 am, December 15th, 2008

    Please make Campbell Brown stop staring at me.

  7. Gopherit says at 9:12 am, December 15th, 2008

    When are they going to announce the point of origin as one of Palin’s Marlboros?

    Personally, I blame the Inuits. They are the worst anti-Xtian bigots ever.

  8. Serolf Divad says at 9:14 am, December 15th, 2008

    Campbell Brown is encroaching on my Wonkette commenter’s space. Can’t we exile her to Wasilla to cover the church bruning?

  9. Spackle Camshaft Palin says at 9:15 am, December 15th, 2008

    Guys, leave Giant Mecha-Campbell Brown alone.

    Mostly because she will cook us all alive with those scary laser eyes if threatened.

  10. CrunchyKnee says at 9:15 am, December 15th, 2008

    Gopherit: Plus, according to the teevee they have never had a Burger King Whooper. Damn, un-american, frozen muslins.

  11. slithytoves says at 9:16 am, December 15th, 2008

    I’m sorry - there isn’t enough room on this site for Campbell Brown and me.

  12. Mr Blifil says at 9:18 am, December 15th, 2008

    Perhaps someone in the inner circle torched the place to distract from the fact that her daughter’s questionable pregnancy hasn’t yet borne fruit.

  13. Mr Blifil says at 9:19 am, December 15th, 2008

    Serolf Divad: WTF is wrong with you? She’s CAMPBELL FRIKKIN’ BROWN. Be a nice person and bow like the rest of us.

  14. Maybe it was God’s wrath striking his flaming finger down on Sarah for all of her evil doings. God was known for his antics with arson.

  15. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 9:20 am, December 15th, 2008

    it’s especially bad with people in the building.

    It’s also especially unlikely, seems to me. Probably a 40-year-old oil heater set that tinderbox ablaze.

  16. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 9:21 am, December 15th, 2008

    I keep touching Campbell’s breasts. I hope she doesn’t sue me. It’s totally by accident.

  17. Serolf Divad says at 9:23 am, December 15th, 2008

    Spackle Camshaft Palin:

    And, you know, the thing about Campbell Brown… she’s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. When she comes at ya, doesn’t seem to be living… until she bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then… ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin’. The ocean turns red, and despite all the poundin’ and the hollerin’, she comes on in and she… rips you to pieces. You know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men. I don’t know how many times she came, maybe a thousand. I know how many men, they averaged six an hour. On Thursday morning, Chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player. Boatswain’s mate. I thought he was asleep. I reached over to wake him up. Bobbed up, down in the water just like a kinda top. Upended. Well, he’d been bitten in half below the waist. Noon, the fifth day, Mr. Hooper, a Lockheed Ventura saw us. He swung in low and he saw us… he was a young pilot, a lot younger than Mr. Hooper. Anyway, he saw us and he come in low and three hours later a big fat PBY comes down and starts to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened… waitin’ for my turn. I’ll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went in the water; 316 men come out and Campbell Brown took the rest, June the 29th, 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb.

  18. BarthexDeRosa says at 9:23 am, December 15th, 2008

    Dear Sarah, I’m sorry John McCain burned your church down. I still think you’re the real deal. XOXOX J the P

  19. shanemcgowan says at 9:23 am, December 15th, 2008

    I still miss SWIM girl.

  20. yourwildhorses says at 9:30 am, December 15th, 2008

    Is it bad that I find this a little bit funny?

  21. splittter says at 9:31 am, December 15th, 2008

    I’d just like to say that I was out of town when this arson occurred.

  22. p-Sludge ofTheElves says at 9:34 am, December 15th, 2008

    Sarah K. Smith, is that you, an hallucination/hologram in my living room? Wow! oh ok I guess it’s just CNN’sCB in my browser. Honestly I didn’t know my screen was that large. I’m pretty impressed with my laptop just now, staring at the lifesize blow-up doll.

  23. proudcitizen says at 9:34 am, December 15th, 2008

    WTF? $1 Million dollars worth of damage. Who’s kidding who? That building looks like an abandon USAF weather station from the ’50s before the Air Force decided it was too cruel to send airmen there for 6 months at a time.

  24. Cape Clod says at 9:36 am, December 15th, 2008

    Oh when is the persecution of white fundamentalists Christians going to stop?
    Except for the Jews, black southern Baptists, Russian Orthodox, Greek Orthodox, Buddists, Hindus, Protestants and Catholics, indigenous peoples and Muslims, they have suffered more than anyone else for their faith.

  25. snideinplainsight says at 9:39 am, December 15th, 2008

    I blame furries.

  26. Serolf Divad says at 9:39 am, December 15th, 2008

    proudcitizen:

    I think that’s the street value of the meth they were brewing in the sacristy.

  27. Bypartizoa says at 9:43 am, December 15th, 2008

    In regard to the giant Campbell Brown picture, thank you for answering my prayers.

  28. Theodorick Of York says at 9:44 am, December 15th, 2008

    Serolf Divad:
    Cage goes in the water, you go in the water. Campbells in the water. Our Campbell.

  29. hedgehog says at 9:47 am, December 15th, 2008

    How does someone yell “fire” while speaking in tongues?

  30. finallyhappy says at 9:55 am, December 15th, 2008

    Cape Clod: Yes, the hideousness of the war on Christmas! My office floor in a federal agency has so many decorations it looks like we are one of those year round Christmas stores. The only thing missing is an actual Santa and a christmas model train set-up but there are still two weeks left so I can only hope.

  31. Maybe it got burned, because it’s one ugly-ass church building. Doesn’t anyone build pretty churches anymore?

  32. Formerly Preferred says at 10:10 am, December 15th, 2008

    Bypartizoa: No soup for you. Campbell is married. How can I tell? This GIANT PICTURE of her clearly shows a wedding/engagement ring about the size of my head on her left hand.

  33. I’m looking at YOU, Nigerian witch-doctor exorcist!

  34. Naked Bunny with a Whip:

    Or the unhappy 14 yr old son of one of the church deacons or whatever they call them there.

  35. hedgehog:

    “υπάρχει φωτιά”

  36. Formerly Preferred: I can’t decide whether to throw shoes at Campbell or burn her church. Actually, it’s probably best not to show her any attention. Media whore loooooove attention of any kind.

  37. Toomush Infermashun says at 10:28 am, December 15th, 2008

    I love it, Sarah! Now I can apologize if any of my thoughts about seeing you eaten by a moose contributed to the failure of your presidential aspirations….

  38. How can you torch an igloo?

    Also, Campbell Brown is hobobeans for blogs: a sign of rough times and sole searching or eating, anyway. Mmmmm, shoes. It’s a proud moment when a journalist, faced with the choice of eating his shoes or throwing them at the powers that be, heaves them with force and vigor, making the supreme gustatory sacrifice.

    Uh, what was the question?

  39. Toomush Infermashun says at 10:31 am, December 15th, 2008

    I’m sorry… we do know for a fact that witches did this….

  40. Texan Bulldoggette says at 10:35 am, December 15th, 2008

    Per Greta’s blog, CNN is laying massive #s of people off. Should they be spending their precious, limited resources advertising on Wonkette?!

  41. SayItWithWookies says at 10:43 am, December 15th, 2008

    Somebody check Ashley Todd’s Twitter feed.

  42. Why did someone carve a O-backwards-B on the sign on the church and smudge the windows with cheap eyeshadow?

  43. gurukalehuru says at 10:54 am, December 15th, 2008

    Where’s Levi? I hear he has a history of this sort of thing.

    Also, if CNN chooses to pay to put the image of the extremely attractive Campbell Brown on these fair pages, I’ve no particular objection, even if she is married to a neo-nazi piece of shit. But does CNN actually know what goes on here, or have they somehow mistaken us for a credible site?

    FMAZ!

  44. elburrito says at 10:56 am, December 15th, 2008

    How does the comments bar feel on your nipples, Campbell Brown? Feels good, doesn’t it. You like it when I type over them? Oh yeah. You smile for me, Campbell Brown!

  45. There is a 50/50 chance that this was a meth lab explosion, right? Wasilla will try to blame it on liberal witches and call up Bobby Jindal for an exorcism, but we all know how Wasilla raises money…and it ain’t bake sales.

  46. AngryBlakGuy says at 11:20 am, December 15th, 2008

    …Bill Ayers?!

  47. My money’s on Sean Hannity masturbating over a pile of oily rags in the basement.

  48. hey, what’s with the HUGE campbell brown all over the page? she’s inescapable, too, i can’t scroll her away. mrgh…

  49. You know, with the position of this comment box, it’s like I’m typing directly into Campbell Brown’s vagina. I hope she doesn’t mind too much.

  50. tootsieroll says at 12:24 pm, December 15th, 2008
  51. So why, when it’s a liberal church that burns, is it labeled an “Act of God” ? But when one full of scary, conservative wingnuts gets it, it’s “arson” ?

    [oh, and bring on the giant Campbell Brown photos! Yum! ;) ]

  52. DeLand DeLakes says at 1:32 pm, December 15th, 2008

    So the fire was started while a group of church ladies were “working on crafts?” OH SWEET JESUS SAVE THE GOD’S EYES!!!!!

  53. DeLand DeLakes says at 1:33 pm, December 15th, 2008

    Borat: And Palin will be the first to slap on the tassels for Jeebus.

  54. Makeithurt says at 1:46 pm, December 15th, 2008

    Somebody tell Campbell Brown to get some lips or something. God, what an insufferable twat!

    Anyway, it was the fire of the Holy Spirit being poured out on the rebornigans. Too bad they weren’t in there at the time to share in the holy conflagration.

  55. glamourdammerung says at 1:46 pm, December 15th, 2008

    Maybe it was a relative of one of the witches they murdered/assaulted in Africa? Or a pathetic cry for attention from the professional victims of the GOP?

  56. youngpalinfan says at 3:17 pm, December 15th, 2008

    It is SICK the way you people are acting! This is a church. A place for worshipping God. It does not matter if it doesn’t look any better than the tattoo shop. Any place that God is worshipped is beautiful in His eyes. I think you hobos are all sittin’ around wishin’ you were Sarah! You are all jealous and from that stems hatred for a woman who shouldn’t be hated by anyone. God bless Sarah Palin and her wondeful family! I don’t know why you all act like this. It’s a crying shame!

  57. ZombieRichardFeynman says at 3:48 pm, December 15th, 2008

    youngpalinfan: Decent troll attempt, but you need to add lots of CAPS LOCK and plenty of misspellings. Nice job on dropping the gerunds, though.

  58. Serolf Divad: Win. I forgot the meth lab angle. Knowin’ Wasilla, you probably can’t get prosecuted for that - claiming sanctity or some such. (Just try that line of arguement in Iraq)

  59. DeLand DeLakes says at 5:43 pm, December 15th, 2008

    youngpalinfan: HAHAHAHAHA give it up you are Bill Kristol. And we all know that you are not young, you are a fat, saggy, sweating Christmas ham.

  60. Formerly Preferred: I’m with you Campbell Brown loses the jacket or she gets pushed to the bottom of the page, imo.

  61. youngpalinfan: Why must you persecute the Hobos? Do homeless people make you think of bad people? Because otherwise your use of the term hobo in reference to those of us on this board makes no sense. Perhaps you should learn to love the hobos and not use their name in vain my good youngpalinfan.

    My theory is they burned the church to pay for the clothes that Palin and Bristol bought on the congregation’s credit cards after being invited to an event that she is now claiming her kids were “working at”.

    Either that or the people in the church were “Cooking” some special ingredients for the weekends sermon… Wasilla Deluxe

  62. villageatrois says at 3:10 am, December 16th, 2008

    Bristol’s baby is due December 20, Saturday. I’m sure she and Levi Johnston coulda got a wedding done this week, if only the friggin church hadn’t got burnded. And now the christening may have to be moved back until hockey season is over and the church rebuilded back up again. Betcha they call the child “Puck”, or “Hatrick” if it’s a girl.

  63. Bearbloke says at 2:39 am, December 18th, 2008

    Bookburning - it’s always fun until someone loses a church….
