NO NOT THESE

“A MUST-READ ORGAN OF CONSERVATIVE OPINION”: this is how The Corner’s #1 accurate describer of things Rich Lowry characterizes Sarah Palin’s Facebook page, with those words right over there. The ones in caps. No, no, in black. The bold ones right above right here. There are like seven of them? Just keeping looking until you find them. [The Corner via Ben Smith]

  1. Manos: Hands of Fate says at 11:49 am, November 18th, 2009

    Is he talking about Palin or a character from a bad biker movie from the 50s. “See man I don’t need any of your ruuulees keeping me down.”

  2. Hedley Lamar says at 11:52 am, November 18th, 2009

    Heh… he said organ.

  3. “She’s like an isotope designed to course throughout our politics and culture”

    Sounds kinda scienceyy, I don’t think SP goes for that kinda eggheady/elitist empirical evidence talk, lets stick to Jesus riding dinosaurs.

  4. A “must-read ORGAN?” Lowry’s obviously a lip-reader.

  5. bureaucrap says at 11:55 am, November 18th, 2009

    If they gave Sarah Palin’s boobs their own separate Facebook page, the number of followers for the one devoted to her “brain” would drop off dramatically.

  6. Egregious says at 11:56 am, November 18th, 2009

    And of those “one million fans,” how many are asking the Govevenor about her opinion RE truck nutz?

  7. Strongy O says at 11:56 am, November 18th, 2009

    I see where Intern Riley takes his design inspiration from.

  8. He must be one hell of a touch typist, what with his head so firmly implanted up between Sarahs’ Buttocks.

  9. “What would be the buttocks, Alex?”

  10. Grendel'sMom says at 11:58 am, November 18th, 2009

    It’s nice to know he can type with one hand.

  11. freakishlystrong says at 11:59 am, November 18th, 2009

    Jesus, Fappington Mc.Jerkoff, get a grip.

  12. Suds McKenzie says at 12:02 pm, November 18th, 2009

    I’m only interested in “Must See” organs.

  13. red sky:
    Fruit flies, I kid you not!

  14. Palin’s Facebook page “a must read” — Bill Buckley is spinning in his grave, and I’m weeping for the Republic.

  15. Did he mention something about lining up to put a good hard-on to Sarah? That’s not very Jesus-like.

  16. Oddly enough, an anagram for “conservative” is Craven Soviet. And she can see Russia from her front porch. So I call COMSYMP-PINKO-FELLOW TRAVELLER on her “Reagan Won The Cold War” bulls*** sycophancy. Or better, psychophancy. Also.

  17. Come here a minute says at 12:08 pm, November 18th, 2009

    The appendix.

  18. Mr Blifil says at 12:09 pm, November 18th, 2009

    Wait his reed is an organ, or his organ is a reed? This is important.

  19. magic titty says at 12:10 pm, November 18th, 2009

    If I tattoo the word ‘NOBama’ on my dick, won’t it serve the same purpose?

  20. Mr Blifil says at 12:10 pm, November 18th, 2009

    Click: Well there’s certainly not much he won’t swallow, let alone stomach.

  21. “She’s like an isotope designed to course throughout our politics and culture”

    Wait, which one? Is deuterium or tritium? Maybe Carbon-14 - no, that one proves that human civilization is more than 6000 years old; so not that one.

    Actually, from the way his analogy seems to work, the guy who’s using all these big words and trying to sound so intellectual is probably mixing up isotopes (nonstandard number of neutrons; not involved with electricity) with ions (nonstandard number of electrons; essential part of electricity).

  22. “She’s like an isotope designed to course throughout our politics and culture.”
    Assuming he meant a radioactive isotope, then yeah she’s definitely unstable, I’ll give him that.

  23. randomsausage says at 12:18 pm, November 18th, 2009

    Meanwhile, over at The Atlantic, the limey bear-man is in full lock-down mode….suspending operations while he and his boy-cubs parse every sentence of La Palin’s book for inconsistencies or some such. Fun times!

  24. Suds McKenzie: In that sense, I thought Meghan McCain’s girls were the “must-see conservative organs.”

  25. comicbookguy says at 12:21 pm, November 18th, 2009

    She’s like an isotope coursing through the body, Plutonium-238 for example. My only question now is, what’s her half-life?

  26. Click: More like a free radical. Does anyone notice that by using Facebook she controls not only her message but the response to them? Why give pesky “press” interviews where they ask you hard questions when you can just blat something on your status update?

  27. I love the noncommital evasion in the next to last sentence.
    “If Palin is their voice and channels their energy productively, she’s part of the Republican answer to Obama, no matter what presidential politics ultimately holds for her.”

    And what is she isn’t their voice?

  28. Monsieur Grumpe says at 12:22 pm, November 18th, 2009

    Well after that literary masturbation Sarah only needs one thing more…
    A theme song! The catchy tune should be something with a cowboy feel, singing about stringing up liberals, riding into the sunset on a white virgin horse and all kinds of mavericky stuff. Andy (I’m not dead yet) Williams can do the recording.

  29. chaste everywhere says at 12:22 pm, November 18th, 2009

    JavaJack: Only three good touch-typists remain in Warshington. All the other typists (aka “journalists”) are just hunt’n'peckers.

  30. SmutBoffin says at 12:23 pm, November 18th, 2009

    When Barack Obama goes on, like, 10 Sunday morning talk shows in a row or whatever, conventional wisdom (crafted by Main Stream Media dingleberries, of course) says that he risks “overexposing” himself. When Palin peddles her squidgy ass all over the airwaves and intertubes for two weeks straight, does anyone indicate that maybe this is a bad thing for her?

  31. comicbookguy: Just slightly longer than her shelf-life, I’m hoping.

  32. Hooray For Anything says at 12:25 pm, November 18th, 2009

    randomsausage: Awwww…that’s cute. It’s like he got Pet Shop Boys Rock Band early for Christmas and he’s so having so much fun rocking out to West End Girls that he just can’t get around to posting.

  33. the problem child says at 12:25 pm, November 18th, 2009

    Trucknutz are an organ, yes?

  34. Brendan M. says at 12:28 pm, November 18th, 2009

    You know, if Jim Newell wrote this post, he would have explicitly and gratuitously drawn the obvious connection between all this “organ” talk and Lowry starburstin’ all over the place all the time when Sarah’s around. This is why I am very happy Juli is working at Wonkette.

    Still, I’m surprised no one has made a comment along these lines in the comments yet.

  35. FlownOver says at 12:31 pm, November 18th, 2009

    Monsieur Grumpe: Until something better comes along we can use this oldie from the Firesign lads:

    Back from the Shadows again!

    Out where an In-jun’s your friend!

    Where the veg’tables are green,

    And you can pee into the stream!

    Yes, we’re back from the Shadows again!

  36. Lowry’s lede: Harry Truman gave them hell. Sarah Palin gives them acute angina.

  37. Humpback: Ha!

  38. geminisunmars says at 12:36 pm, November 18th, 2009

    memzilla: “psychophancy”. Thank you. Now I don’t have look up my word-a-day vocabulary builder.

  39. V572625694 says at 12:37 pm, November 18th, 2009

    While it is unspeakably shallow to address Goobernor Palin’s appearance, as opposed to her policies and ideas*, it was nonetheless evident in the Baba Wawa interview clips that Snowbilly’s developing a case of the droopy chin wattle. So her main appeal is faaaading fast, and it won’t be long now until her 15 months of fame are over, dontcha know.

    *Ha ha! as if she had any!

  40. slappypaddy says at 12:38 pm, November 18th, 2009

    what’s next? divining her entrails?

  41. slappypaddy says at 12:39 pm, November 18th, 2009

    Monsieur Grumpe: “Sarah only needs one thing more…A theme song!”

    how’s about “Pale Blue Eyes”? sweet and sour and to the point, with a subtle hitlery connotation in its title.

  42. Gorillionaire says at 12:43 pm, November 18th, 2009

    Only thing you can read on that organ are the words “Apply ointment here”! Kahpow! I’m here all week.

  43. magic titty says at 12:45 pm, November 18th, 2009

    slappypaddy: Do NOT associate that thing with the Velvet Underground, please.

  44. Joey Ratz says at 12:46 pm, November 18th, 2009

    Monsieur Grumpe: How about Hank Williams Jr. covering AC/DC’s “Let me put my love into you”? Or would that be more of a Palinista theme song?

  45. These conservative pundits . . . at least this one admits it’s all about his organ.

  46. slappypaddy says at 12:47 pm, November 18th, 2009

    magic titty: my apologies. a momentary lapse of taste. and judgment. also.

  47. comicbookguy says at 12:52 pm, November 18th, 2009

    Oh I get it. She’s like an isotope running through the body politic, which we can then look at, see the glowing bits and say there, that’s where the problem is. Call the surgeon.

    Brilliant review. Nail. Head. Hit.

  48. “SHE’S A SELFISH INCOMPETENT EMBARRASSMENT FOR HER PARTY, COUPLED WITH THE BITCH FACTOR OF HILLARY” That’s what Lowery said on “The Corner” in an alternative universe where a dunderheaded-snow-billy DEMOCRAT quit being the Governor of Alaska because…why did she quit again? Oh yeah because she is a selfish incompetent embarrassment.

  49. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 12:55 pm, November 18th, 2009

    Heh and whoopsie… “Palin takes her title from a McCain aide’s description of her refusal to abide by every tittle of the campaign script.”

    Um, Rich, Dr. Freud called to let you know that your slip was showing. Kthxbai.

  50. CapnFatback says at 12:56 pm, November 18th, 2009

    Sarah Palin’s Facebook Page: Stamping out organ illiteracy one status update at a time.

  51. El Pinche says at 1:01 pm, November 18th, 2009

    Rich Lowry gives me diarrhea. I shit you not.

  52. x111e7thst says at 1:01 pm, November 18th, 2009

    V572625694: There are surgeons who can fix that. I expect to see the characteristic signs soon. In fact I am sort of surprised that I don’t see them already.

  53. CapnFatback says at 1:02 pm, November 18th, 2009

    El Pinche: Of course not–you shit me lots.

  54. norbizness says at 1:02 pm, November 18th, 2009

    Before the starburst outburst, Rich Lowry was known for two words “WE’RE WINNING!” (uttered about Iraq in 2005)

  55. El Pinche says at 1:06 pm, November 18th, 2009

    El Pinche: That was my 12-year-old-boy synopsis of what I just read. Seriously, that article made me ill. You know deep down inside (maybe not so deep) these conservatives and GOopers are miserable and they hate Palin. They’re just too….conservative to admit it.

  56. PickneyPinchback says at 1:10 pm, November 18th, 2009

    Starbursts wrote: “First, Palin divided Democrats and Republicans. Then she divided the conservative commentariat. Finally, she divided the McCain campaign itself, which devolved into an ugly internal war over its vice-presidential nominee.” Then Starbursts goes on to say how she is fantastic and she is the Republican answer to Barry.

    So let me get this right, she is divisive and pulls the Repub party apart, so she is our only hope and should run for anything to save the world.

    Yes, please do this.

  57. norbizness says at 1:11 pm, November 18th, 2009

    On a serious note, NAtional Review, what the fuck happened to you? You used to be beautiful, man!

    (reminded of William Buckley’s numerous racist quotes in the 60s)

    Never mind, y’all can fuck yourself in perpetuity backwards and forwards in time.

  58. proudgrampa says at 1:23 pm, November 18th, 2009

    If “she’s part of the Republican answer to Obama,” whatinhell was the question??? Who asked the question? Was it the right question to ask? Inquiring minds want to know.

  59. Gopherit says at 1:28 pm, November 18th, 2009

    El Pinche: No GOPer is immune. Even the Weekly Standard, which at least plays at intellectual debate, is gushing over her latest stupidity though our favorite gusher, Incontinetti.

    This stupid twunt is poison to our republic. No snark here.

  60. Accordion-o-rama says at 1:28 pm, November 18th, 2009

    red sky: Well, if any “designs” isotopes, it would have to be the Creator (scientists “discover” them, not “design” them), so the statement can be read not only as SP being God’s instrument on earth, but as an implicit endorsement of “intelligent design”.

    Boy is God an asshole.

  61. Big Liver says at 1:30 pm, November 18th, 2009

    red sky:

    More like a laxative “…designed to course through our politics and culture.”

  62. Monsieur Grumpe says at 1:32 pm, November 18th, 2009

    FlownOver:
    Yes.
    We’re all Bozos on this bus.
    So true.

  63. imissopus says at 1:33 pm, November 18th, 2009

    Lowry’s organ is starbursting.

  64. Can O Whoopass says at 1:34 pm, November 18th, 2009

    Soo-eee, ya gots purdy lips, Boy!

  65. imissopus says at 1:37 pm, November 18th, 2009

    Brendan M.: Made my comment before I read through the thread and saw yours. Gutter-bound minds think alike.

  66. engulfedinflames says at 1:40 pm, November 18th, 2009

    Humpback: It’s a good thing she’s got acute angina cuz she’s really got ugly tits. (sorry, too easy)

    magic titty: If you do, please friend me.

  68. bitchincamaro says at 1:46 pm, November 18th, 2009

    comicbookguy: “My only question now is, what’s her half-life?”

    About the same as that for meconium.

  69. Next Great Pwndit says at 2:02 pm, November 18th, 2009

    Looks like somebody has starbursted in their shorts again.

  70. Minnie Mean says at 2:22 pm, November 18th, 2009

    know who else doesn’t like lil’ Richie? http://www.sadlyno.com/archives/6585.html

  71. Global Cannibal says at 2:25 pm, November 18th, 2009

    “…she takes up the long knives herself and plunges them into the McCain aides she believes mishandled her…”
    Congratulations, Rich! You are now a confirmed crypto-Nazi.

  72. Extemporanus says at 2:25 pm, November 18th, 2009

    Every organ grifter needs a reliable little monkey to grin and pass the tin. Plus, Rich looks simply adorable in a little bowtie and fez.

  73. Extemporanus says at 2:31 pm, November 18th, 2009

    magic titty: WELCOME TO JAMAICA HAVE A NICE DAY

    Extemporanus: HA! I meant to say “organ grinder”!

    Actually…

  75. Extemporanus: No, you were right the first time, you can’t trust those little capuchins - I lost a shitload of money on my last greyhound jockey.

  76. Brendan M. says at 2:48 pm, November 18th, 2009

    I figured once I checked back in there’d be starbursts all over this thread. All is back as it should be.

  77. PickneyPinchback says at 4:10 pm, November 18th, 2009

    “Must-Read Opinion of a Conservative Organ”

  78. “A must-read orgy of conservative verbal diarrhea.”
