That link to RedState had better go to a Billy Ocean youtube video. That’s the standard Intraweb prank you youngsters like, right?

Jeez…Sarah lovers appear to be rip-off artists as well…

“How about, in honor of the ‘murrkin soldier, we just shoot down Air Force One?
Because that’s what patriotic point guards do, they shoot down the plane with teh President in it, as well as any wolves on the ground. Also.”

California is the poors? Nah-uh. I have many fine dollars tucked away. Except for the ones I keep flushing down my 401k. I must work up the courage to open my statements one of these days.

You’ll have to forgive David Vitter. He lost much of his long-term memory in a self-asphyxiation/diaper/group poop experiment gone badly awry. He’s totally against that sort of thing now.

Formerly Preferred July 27, 2009 at 2:41 pm

So, if Sarah Palin = Chrysler in the mid 90s, I assume she will shortly announce her engagement to Gerhard Schroeder. After a tumultuous marriage in which he locks her in a room and steals all of her snowmobiles, the SchroederPalins will break up. This will force her to marry Silvio Burlosconi in order to avoid turning her house in Wasilla into a shopping mall and being sent to debtor’s prison.

slappypaddy July 27, 2009 at 2:41 pm

if Babble Spass changed everything, did it right away change right back into what it was? because it all looks the same to me, jess sayin…

ManchuCandidate July 27, 2009 at 2:42 pm

As for Vitter, I heard that he was pretty soft IN whores.

freakishlystrong July 27, 2009 at 2:48 pm

Look for Sarah to energize the nation. To lead a real movement in this country. She has the Republican base. In fact, latest polls show she has a 76 percent approval rating among all Republicans.

A 76 percent approval rating among 23 % of the country.

SmutBoffin July 27, 2009 at 2:52 pm

I never thought that I would find bad writing, tortured metaphors, and irrelevant historical information in a hagiography over at REDSTATE!

I feel for you Riley. I feel for anyone who has to go to Red State on a regular basis.

If Sarah Palin is intellectually/emotionally/ability wise an F4U Corsair (sigh, it hurts even to suggest that Palin is even close to that amazing US America flying machine) then Barry is an X-Wing Fighter.

[re=371432]ManchuCandidate[/re]: That’s a lie! Only the diapers were soft! In fact, April-soft and dewy-fresh. Well, at least until someone was a bad boy.

dedalus July 27, 2009 at 2:56 pm

Not a blue dog myself, BUT they actually are saving Hopie’s presidency and Pelosi’s House to the extent they make their agenda palatable to the swing voters who decide elections and reverse reforms.

El Pinche July 27, 2009 at 2:57 pm

Snuggies, when he’s not wearing a diaper and pullin his rubber chicken over a cum dumpster, or putting a hit on a DC madam, he’s making shitty hypocritical ads.

WhatTheHeck July 27, 2009 at 2:59 pm

Sarah’s energizing the base by quitting. Wha…?
The GOP is heading off the cliff in a Chrysler.

SayItWithWookies July 27, 2009 at 3:04 pm

And, unlike most, Sarah Palin says what she means, and means what she says. Unheard of in Washington. In fact, Palin is so straightforward, that many either refuse to believe it, or simply can’t comprehend it.

Yeah, really — what part of “Glooble noppa twik vibble” don’t they understand?

Cicada July 27, 2009 at 3:06 pm

[re=371448]the lady MS. Sheila Dixon[/re]: Is that the sound that Vitter’s soft-on makes when he pulls out?

donner_froh July 27, 2009 at 3:08 pm

[re=371430]Formerly Preferred[/re]: I stopped scanning that insane post when I got to the Chrysler part. Whatever he wrote after that shows that anything he ever wrote anywhere is garbage. Probably badly garbled garbage.

Chrysler went bankrupt–bailed out, bought by Daimler, loan guaranteed, etc. every decade or so.

the lady MS. Sheila Dixon July 27, 2009 at 3:10 pm

[re=371467]Cicada[/re]: that’s for me to know and for you to find out, Stormy.

Is “feckless” a Wonkette name? I love his post over there:
“Q: What do you call a disgusting mess often found in a diaper? A: Senator David Vitter”

whiskey tango foxtrot July 27, 2009 at 3:31 pm

People: do not consume beverages while reading the RedState piece unless you have some kind of protective cover on your monitor screen. Do drink a shot of whiskey beforehand, as a neuroprotectant. And have a large bottle of gin handy, for afterwards.

Seriously, it reads as though a fifth grader wrote it, only it’s longer.

RobPetrified July 27, 2009 at 3:58 pm

In spite of the misspelled words, poor grammar, and extremely tedious wordiness, the Palin piece in RedState had a nice picture and a clever analogy to Chrysler Corp.
After all, she HAS been shat on by professionals.
And I, for one, welcome more of the same.

bamaboy July 27, 2009 at 4:00 pm

[re=371450]ManchuCandidate[/re]: Sarah Palin an F4U Corsair? Not even close. Brewster Buffalo: maybe.

Tundra Grifter July 27, 2009 at 4:30 pm

Does David (Bitter?) Vitter think we should be “hard on whores?”

Missionary posis or doggy style?

Proposed Caption Sarah Palin destroys hope, thinking that it is Russia

The only thing funnier than the picture is the post itself. Sure, it is written in Conservative code, but you can get through it pretty easily if you know Repulbicans:

Look, much like Chrysler’s history, the Republican party was known for solid core principles [buttsex]. This dates back to Abraham Lincoln [buttsex]. And just like Chrysler, the party has had it’s ups [the day the new interns show up] and downs [the press covering you having buttsex with the same interns]. It’s had periods of great highs [Duke Cunningham's sex and coke parties] and low lows [destroying the economy, invading countries for fun].

Formerly Preferred July 27, 2009 at 6:16 pm

[re=371745]Lionel Hutz Esq.[/re]: Eh, invading countries for fun was clearly a high, not a low.

Today we are all BarackOpedoes.

noodleman July 27, 2009 at 9:17 pm

Oops. Posted this in the wrong thread elsewhere.

Wrt the Red State article, the Chrysler “K” cars were not produced in the ’90s; only from 1981-1988. Even then, “K” cars were passenger vehicles only — not pick-ups or trucks. Why do those on the right side of the aisle continually get their facts wrong? It denigrates their whole argument … or is symptomatic of serious mental health (i.e. delusional) issues.

LoweredPeninsula July 28, 2009 at 7:36 am

Hell,

Even us up here in Michigan don’t like Chryslers. They aren’t even the red-headed stepchild; they are the child we keep chained in a room and fed through a slit in the door before the state raids the house and charges us with criminal neglect.
