I don’t know why everyone is all worried about Palin being VP. Who cares if she has spent her life in one section of the US, with very limited travel and exposure to other cultures. Didn’t you hear her in her Couric interview?…SHE READS books and stuff.

That should be good enough for y’all.

GILF

zomg! teh funny!!!!

The truth is almost beyond parody

The truth is almost beyond parody

I can’t decide which is funnier….

much of the script included actual “verb-idge” from the candidate’s interview… so funny that it seemed it must be made up.

But Laura Bush says she’s “a good study”.

So does that mean she was on an academic scholarship in college and on the Dean’s List where she “read books ‘n stuff”? Can we see her transcripts?

And I thought that George Bush was not supposed to go anywhere near the McCain-Palin campaign…so how is it that Laura knows all about Sarah’s debate preparations?

That’s the common theme with everyone I talked to about the skit..it is interchangeable with the interview.

What about that “I’ll bring ‘em to ‘ya” statement? Do you think that Palin is still looking for those examples?

Is it just my imagination or has Poelher advanced 5 or 6 trimesters in the past couple weeks?

OT BUT “Kucinich says not enough votes for bailout”

i loved this skit. think Fey deserves an Emmy. But Poehler made it all the better with her unbelieving blinking (the silent ‘whatever’ or ’surely you jest’) as Couric. I actually enjoyed watching couric with palin. Glad some of the MSM finally figured out if you sick a woman on Palin they can’t accuse you of sexism.

loved how Fey referred to “the” central park, and “the” fao schwartz, as though they were govt. institutions, like “the” FBI.

love these gals.

BTW here’s a great link to alternatives to the bailout by the guy who predicted all this years ago, Dr. Doom himself

I think that Laura said “quick”..and there is a brand of chocolate called that. She is like a box of chocolates..you never know what kind…of nonsense you are going to get when she opens her mouth.

No you can’t see them…people have tried to get them. I think she went to at least four schools.

Just like her income tax and her medical records…not for public consumption. The last I read, possibly Oct 4th for income tax but I can’t remember where I read it.

Rumor has it McCain’s going to drop Palin and replace her with Tina Fey.

Look. Let’s face it. How is it possible that anyone in the United States of America, who is not completely stupid and therefore knows what stupid means, could possibly turn the crank for this idiot old man, McCain, and his idiot pick for replacement for the soon to be physically incapacitated McCain, Palin? This is going down in history as the most outlandish campaign ever.

Well in palin’s defense of cancelling her appearance, McCain’s erratic behavior is something of a natural disaster.

I would guess that McCain’s rethug rivals are not crying many tears over this crash.

Off topic:

The Obama/Biden sign is still there. The thief has not been back!

My Palin file so far:

1. Troopergate/ currently ducking a deposition under oath / at her direction 7 of her aides cancelled their depositions, her husband Todd has refused to obey a subpoena to testify, the state GOP is now trying to torpedo the investigation it helped start. The story now is that Palin did not fire Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan for refusing to fire state trooper Mike Wooten who was involved in a messy divorce with Palin’s sister but that Monegan had sought to go to Washington to seek funds to address Alaska’s severe problems with sexual violence and rape. Why Palin would be against this is unclear. However, state records show that Monegan’s trip had, in fact, been approved by the governor’s office
2. Replaced the guy she fired in troopergate with someone with a sexual harassment complaint who lasted 10 days
3. Todd’s Alaska Independence Party connections, and her own participation
4. Used a state site to promote mining interests over clean water; and accepted several thousand dollars worth of gifts from mining lobbyists
5. Bridge to nowhere: being for it before she was against it
6. For earmarks before she was against them
7. Pumping money into a bankrupt Alaska dairy and then selling it off to cronies
8. Firing employees as mayor over loyalty issues
9. Asserting the right to ban books from the library and attempts to fire the librarian
10. Involved in the 527 for Ted Stevens
11. Her daughter’s pregnancy

13. Her expensive ($25 million) screwup with building a rec center in Wasilla as mayor on land the city did not have clear title to
14. Anti-choice even for rape and incest
15. Anti-gay marriage
16. Pro-abstinence only (Tell that one to Bristol)
17. Pro-gun
18. Anti-environment: Spent $400,000 in 2007 to promote the aerial hunting of wolves and bears. Has fought designating polar bears as endangered due to diminishing sea ice from which they hunt.
19. Pro-drilling
20. Global warming denier
21. Creationist/wants it taught in schools
22. Thought the Pledge of Allegiance dates to the founding of the country (it was penned in 1892 and “under God” was added in 1954)
23. Thinks the End Times will occur in her lifetime
24. Attends a church with an anti-Semitic, anti-Islamic pastor which is also into exorcisms and other rites to protect from witches and “python spirits”
25. Charged the state nearly $17,000 in per diem travel expenses when she was living at home
26. Implied she sold the state plane on ebay but it, in fact, failed to sell there, and later elsewhere was sold at a loss
27. Charged the state to fly her daughter Willow to Juneau to tour the church where they worshipped when they were in town; charged the state for a $707 hotel room in New York for 3 days for daughter Bristol; charged the state for the family to watch the beginning of the Iditarod dog sled race and the Iron Dog snowmobile race which husband Todd won; in all her husband racked up $19,000 in state paid travel expenses, and her children Piper, 7, nearly $11,000, Willow, 14, around $6,000 and Bristol, 17, about $3,400
28. While mayor, Wasilla was the only city in Alaska which billed ($300-$1,200) rape victims and their insurance companies for rape kits and forensic examinations
29. Named Deborah Richter her campaign manager for governor to head a division which distributes dividends of Alaska’s oil royalties to its citizens. Richter had only one year of college and was a business partner of Palin in a land investment. Palin fired one of her aides John Bitney for having an affair with Richter during her (Richter’s) divorce
30. Thinks that Saddam Hussein worked with al Qaeda to attack America on 9/11
31. Favors Georgia’s admittance to NATO and military action against Russia if it crosses Georgia’s frontiers again
32. Appointed Franci Havemeister as Alaska’s Director of Agriculture whose primary qualifications were that she was a high school classmate of Palin’s and had had a childhood love of cows
33. Used a state database for political purposes by emailing 23,000 Alaskan business owners to lobby the Alaskan legislature in favor of reducing business license fees
34. Used a private Yahoo account to conduct state business; the account was subsequently hacked
35. Used the governor’s office to try to block a Workman’s Comp claim by her ex-brother-in-law Wooten by pressuring the company Harbor Adjustments which administers the program. Then awarded a continuation of the contract with Harbor Adjustments even though its bid was $1.5 million, $300,000 more than another competitor
36. Supports the Ledbetter decision which makes it extremely difficult for women to sue over pay discrimination
37. Boasted of McCain’s credentials as a reformer in an interview with Katie Couric but could not name a single example of a McCain reform when asked
38. In addition to the claim that she is Commander in Chief material because she is the titular head of the Alaska National Guard she also claimed foreign policy experience because Alaska has a sea border with Russia (more than 500 miles away from Wasilla)

Can Rove pull this together? Does he want to? Or will he leave this old lame hound to his fate. With profound apologies to all other hounds everywhere.

If that list wasn’t so pathetic it’d be funny.

Her going to a bar the night of the debates is reminiscent of Hillary being photographed drinking alcohol with the boys a few times. I wonder what she drank? Booze, water, or the Republican koolaide? She has so many religions on the go at any one time, that she likely can’t drink alcohol in public.

She wore jeans and a t-shirt to the bar. Who was that supposed to appeal to?
Did Hillary ever do that? I just wonder if she is taking pages from Hillary’s playbook?

Going to the bar and then hiding out to watch the debates. Not exactly vice-presidential behavior.

Damn! That sucker’s getting huge.

Pretty soon, you’re gonna have to just start posting a link like you do with the Bush Scandals list.

Palin adores the FBI. So much so that to honor the 90agents in Alaska, she declared “FBI Day’ in Alaska on July 26, 2008.(source: ontheissues.org)

Har!

Re Tina Fey satirizing Sarah Palin; i think Fey’s response to the bailout question was Palin’s answer word-for-word.

this is funny. found on that obama lawn sign link.

Having a VP debate party next Thursday? Here is a list of menu items that might fit the bill (of rights): Courtesy of CHAOS members: Main Dishes and Appetizers: Pigs in a blanket with lipstick, Palin Stew (in her own juices), Crockpot Todd Balls, Oysters Mudflats, Pasta Caribounara Deserts: Half-Baked Alaska, Moose droppings with pecans, Palin Brain Pops (limited, snooze you lose), Otter Pops…

Damn! That sucker’s getting huge.

Pretty soon, you’re gonna have to just start posting a link like you do with the Bush Scandals list.

It is getting there, isn’t it? That’s the problem with idiots. It’s not like they became that way overnight or only on some occasions. She’s been that way for ages, and still is.

Christy hosting Book Salon over at the Mothership

Off topic for a minute…what is up with Obama? He could have slammed MCCain in the debate if he would have spoken the truth.

Ahmadinejad never said “off the map” for Israel. He said the regime would vanish. That is entirely different. He did not call for the de
struction of Israel and over and over we hear the same lie repeated. That fake emotional tirade that MCCain went on about it was sickening and Obama could have taken advantage of it by speaking the truth. And MCCain would have gone ballistic.

And this Russian aggression crap. Georgia invaded..Russia retaliated. Again, a missed opportunity. Obama talked the tough talk about Russia rather than speak the truth…bad Obama.

Five x-Secretaries of State where interviewed on Sept.20, 2008 by the Republican shill Christiane Amanpour. Colin Powell told her that Georgia started the conflagration (his word). And Obama doesn’t know this?

Kissinger talked about the importance of Russian co-operation. Not threatening Russia…the importance of reaching out. But Obama talks tough, instead?

The interview is over at the CNN’s Transcript Page.

and no trade missions to Russia while she was governor

Hey you missed raised Taxes in Wasilla 40% and tryed to ban books.

Off topic…

Kittykitty, here’s a good link about Maine’s Congressman Mike Michaud. He’s a Blue Dog on very few issues and is more liberal than you think:

I want a “Tina Fey for President” t-shirt…I’ll have to google

“python spirits” …is there an occult connection between her and MICHAEL Palin?

Does anyone know if Sarah weighs as much as a duck?

I thought this old quote was appropros these days…

President Bush unveiled his new economic stimulus plan this week. It was reported that if the plan passes the president himself would save $44,000 in taxes, Dick Cheney would save $327,000, and you could afford to take the whole family down to Burger King to pick up job applications.

- Tina Fey

I’m suggesting though in no way endorsing) possible drinking games for the vice presidential debate:

Take a drink:

1. every time Sarah Palin responds with a sentence fragment;
2. whenever she mentions the words “reform” and/or “maverick”;
3. each time she says “Alaska”;
or
4. if, after a response, you successfully mimicked each of Governor Palin’s gestures.

The longish period when Tina is asked about the economy … The actual interview was very similar gibberish – see Jack Cafferty excoriate Palin’s actual performance.

yep
parody upstaged by reality

I hate to cull pearls of wisdom from wingnuttia, but Rick Moran over at RightWingNutHouse gave the rationale (although he was talking about a different aspect of the debate):

“Never argue with the voter — even when they’re dead wrong.”

Middle of the debate was not the time to try and re-examine the common (though mistaken) beliefs of citizens. The majority of Americans think Russia got bored one day and decided to go blazing in. Wrong? Yes. Telling the people who are going to vote for you that they’re idiots? Not a good play.
