Jake will figure it out when pigs fly.

Note to Jake: The previous was not a joke about the Palin expense report scandal.

This stuff works. Which is why we’re going to lose, again.

I’ve heard it said that a Democrat thinks a fight is really just an argument. But a Republican never thinks that.

I noticed that Dana Priest, following the McCain Campaign, was wearing a darling little lime jello green suit this afternoon while giving a report.
*
And, since I’m being catty, I was watching some coverage a little while ago of Palin walking across a large area. Her face may be one of a younger woman, but she walks like a skinny old more mature lady. Just a weird thing I noticed.

OT, very, very OT:

Oh, holy shit! I’m watching KO and he’s covering Palin, of course, and there was a flash of Cindy Lou wearing a bright green ruffly dress with a red what was called a “shrug” in my grandmother’s day. Sorry for going OT, but my eyes damn near bugged out of my head. She’s got $200 million. Can’t she hire a fashion consultant?

OMG !!!!

Edward Teller’s bloggin pal Shannon is leading Keith’s show with the Rape Kit story –

go hippies go !!!

No Eeyore. I’m tired, I’m cranky, and I want McCain mockery. Pass the jello salad…

Marion,

it’s worse than that, she actually has several – different colors doncha know
X~o

Jake Tapper: busy redefining tool on a daily basis

That would be lime jello, with embedded canned pineapple, garnished with a marischino cherry, re Marion @ 6.

Obama used the words “US” and “bad” in the same day, no doubt showing his unAmericanism.

I’ll be using that one. *G*

The brain bleach is over by the Hazmat suits, right?

Thanks for noticing me.

McCain desperation meter rising.

amen Sista Christy !!!

ET actually has trolls now at his place . . .and this obscene sex ed smear of an ad – effin’ reeks of it. and oh btw Team Greenscreen, nice pacing – you assholes are supposed to put that shit out the week leading to Nov 4th

Is she getting fashion advice from Meghan again?

Snort! Just in case you didn’t see it, the Sadly, Naughts took note of Bobo Brooks, and invented a new internets tradition. We’re all familiar with the “shorter” concept, but they’ve given us “Snorter David Brooks.”

Hey demi, what’s shaking?

So what are you doing to counteract the argument? Or are you just giving up with 2 months before the election.

I’ve been watching elections ever since the Kennedy years. Obama and his team are doing a far better job at responding to the Rs than any of the other Dems except for maybe Bill Clinton.

Just because they do not respond as you would, does not make their responses ineffective.

Holy pimento cheese on a cracker! Do these idiots even speak to regular Americans? Ever?!?

Or, do they watch their own VP on television?

Yer gonna make me heave.

That $300,000 get-up she was wearing one night at the convention was a mind-blower. Her designer must hate her or something like that. She always look like a freaking clown.

Trust me, Meghan’s fit for the cover of Vogue compared to Cindy Lou’s get-up. We did all hear that according to Meghan ONLY the McCain family understands war, didn’t we? Isn’t that special…

Obama may be doing better than Kerry & Gore, but McCain/Palin is attacking harder & going scuzzier.

Actually, I thought their response on McCain’s latest factually inaccurate crap ad was a pretty good one:

“It is shameful and downright perverse for the McCain campaign to use a bill that was written to protect young children from sexual predators as a recycled and discredited political attack against a father of two young girls – a position that his friend Mitt Romney also holds. Last week, John McCain told Time magazine he couldn’t define what honor was. Now we know why,” said Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton.

Oh, c’mon Christy, tell us how you really feel!

woot !

did y’all see Edward Teller made TIME today ??

I’m looking forward to well-known and still respected (somewhat and/or by some) republicans coming out for Obama in the middle of October. Powell? Rice?

You know, I thought the design of that shirtwaist dress was lovely. It was a very flattering cut on her, sort of Mad Men-ish (if you watch that show on AMC, you’ll know what I mean). But the burnt mustard color — and the sheen of the silk? Under those stage lights? Um…no.

I agree.

Maybe it’s William Bolcom’s LIME JELLO MARSHMALLOW COTTAGE CHEESE SURPRISE.

I thought it was ugly too!

Yoo deloosional.

eCahn..I’m convinced that pretty soon, they’ll be locking up McCain with Gov. Sarah and the whole campaign will be performed by press release and presser..no McCain or Palin…A virtual election. If the Rethugs get ‘er done, then they’ll swear in two holograms in January and Dick and George won’t have to leave at all. Laura, on the other hand, WILL move out..anywhere..

That is SO cool! And if you’re not checking out Mudflats every day you’re missing out on good information, and some excellent snark in the comments.

told mr cbl she had lost a bet :D

and come on! 3 Orange Dresses in One Day ???

Guess it’s hard for her to compete with a younger, ballsier woman. Maybe she’d feel better if she cancelled Johnny’s credit cards?

Her continued dressing up as “Gramslut Barbie” isn’t working. The younger version on the ticket has that market segment wowed.

And yesterday Burton said the L-word:

Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton went even further Monday, calling the assertion a flat out “lie.”

“Despite being discredited over and over again by numerous news organizations, the McCain campaign continues to repeat the lie that Sarah Palin stopped the Bridge to Nowhere,” Burton said. “McCain and Palin will say or do anything to make people believe that they will change something besides the person sitting in the Oval Office.”

I’ve been a long time fan of shirtwaist dresses, but the collar on that thing dragged it right into “Ming the Merciless” for me. And you’re absolutely right about the color and sheen…

That will make a great scifi movie.

I’m good. I still use all of the Winnie The Pooh greatest hits lines…
So, I couldn’t help myself when you said Eyeore.
* A useful pot for putting things in.
* Pooh! You messed up my moose.
* Aim me at the bees, please.
I could go on and on.

That’s what I was talking about – the colors she wears. They hurt the eyes to look at. She wore a dress in one picture I saw that I’m sure cost a bundle but it looked like what my granny used to call a “house dress.”

Oof! Zot! Pow! Various old time Batman sounds in background. Very nicely played, Mr. Burton.

That collar did have a certain “fly away home” je ne sais quoi…

Bear in mind that I don’t watch teevee, rarely have time to read the kinda-sorta newspaper any more, and have even been struggling to hit the net. That said, it seems to me (and to others I know who are more connected to the “real” world right now) that there is largely a great big fat silence a la John Kerry and the Swiftboaters from the Obama campaign. Disabuse me. Abuse me. Whatever. I’m gettin’ scared, but then that’s just me.

I’ve noticed that the Southwest seems to exist in some garish parallel fashion universe, although Cindy’s fashion sense seems a little out of step even for Arizona. Probably looks good if you were spawned in a vat of Budweiser, though.

So, let me get this straight.

“lipstick on a pig” — Sexist and the person should die.
This clip — Perfectly acceptable.

Is that about right?

They are actually doing a lot — the media just isn’t giving them any air time. It’s all been sucked up by the travelling Dr. Phil Road Show of Sarah Palooza and Captain Crankypants,

what my granny used to call

We may be onto something here! I mentioned my grandmother earlier, over a “shrug.” Do you think she’s dressing like our grannies to make her [shudder, the mere thought…] husband feel all comfy by dressing in fashion he’s familiar with?

Yep, that pretty much covers it. Next?

There is a definite difference between palettes in the East and in the Southwest. But this is ridiculous!

No, you moron. They no doubt thought Obama was familiar with an old American colloqualism used so frequently it has hundreds of illustrations available on teh Google. Didn’t you ever read any Molly Ivins?

but but but

they don’t care about any of this, it helps mobilize the base and they’re gonna go with it if it works

I LOVE this for the obama response;

While he said he had not studied Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton’s health-care plan, he said it was “eerily reminiscent” of the failed plan she offered as first lady in the early 1990s.

“I think they put some lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig,” he said of her proposal

and that will shut their faces pronto but they had no idea christy was ON it like wet on rain

Whoo HOo!! (and Hey! cbl2)

The Big Three polls are now suddenly oversampling Republicans even as Democratic registrations go through the roof:

The new poll from Investor’s Business Daily (as conservative as it gets) that shows Obama up 45-40 would seem to lend some support to this:

I adore Eeyore. But I’m more of a Piglet, myself. *g*

Ewwww…must remove icky thought of McCain being attracted to my granny…

My daughter lives in Tucson and she doesn’t dress in those colors nor have I ever seen them on other women when I have visited. It’s all Cindy!

you know, it occurs to me after watching that clip, mccain looks like don rickles!

Another Piglet here too!

All posters criticizing Cindy should note this: (I’m NOT a McSlime fan by any stretch of the imagination!)

I am willing to give Cindy the benefit of the doubt due to the following which has NOT been the subject of any commentary in the press, or much elsewhere either.

Cindy suffered a stroke about 5 years ago, and it left her with short-term memory problems, occasional speech difficulties and some physical ‘unsteadiness’ as a result.

My husband had a stroke about 5 years before he passed away. A stroke commonly changes the persons personality in quite unexpected and sometimes quite embarassing ways. You will all note that Cindy rarely appears by herself in campaign stumps, and I personally feel that is part of the reason for her reticence and her ‘quiet’ lack of a lot of public exposure.

And just another note: Over the past 20 years, Cindy as reportedly given about $28 million to various NGOs around the world. One characteristic of her gifts is that she delivers them in person, often staying for up to two months working with the recipient groups on their programs and helping out with whatever services they are providing. Her trip to Georgia, while it was billed by the FCP as that McCain himself sent her, was actually one of Cindy’s charitable trips. She gave a large (undisclosed) sum of money to two NGOs in Georgia that were helping find shelter, food and medicine for the people who had lost homes and/or been wounded in the conflict there.

So…I’m willing to cut her some slack. Not her husband.

I’m l-l-looking d-d-down, Pooh.
(remind you of any people?)
Talk about The Tao Of Pooh. Huh?

Yes, but they live in Sedona and Scottsdale — not the Vegas Strip, eh?

Sorry… The brain bleach is over there, near the Hazmat suits and emergency exit.

Money cannot buy taste. Cindy ain’t got it.

At least we know now how Cindy put $800,000 on her charge cards in a single month, she bought two and two thirds outfits.

I’m listening to Animal Farm. Gives a less warm feeling for pigs.

Sorry for putting a bad spin on Piglet.
Piglet is the epitomy of the most loyal bestest friend ever.
And he doesn’t wear lipstick.

Aww geez, and there was that bit about him being a “Momma’s Boy” at the convention.

More brain bleach, please.

Being male and fairly oblivious I had to google images for shirtwaist dress and shrug. I have no idea why they are called this but understanding is not necessary. *g*

OMG — I thought that was Palin with the lipstick…

Looks like an ill-tempered Nikita Khrushev to me. And I do not have fond memories of Khrushev.

I know that she does a lot of good things. She still has lousy taste in clothes and men.

KO has a special comment tomorrow on how Rudy et al have cynically changed 9/11.

It’s a bitch when the ladies start to discuss fashion, isn’t it?! I get the same feeling during football or basketball discussions…

Orwell’s prophetic vision of the Bush/Cheney (Snowball/Napoleon) presidency? I suppose the Freddie/Fannie bailout is another attempt to keep the windmill project on schedule.

That isn’t Arizona fashion….. mostly it is jeans and very casual…. Of course I don’t run in the Biltmore circles …..

It was pointed out by John at Americablog that they may be using “soft” lenses when McCain is on TeeVee….. to make him look younger, now show the wrinkles….. that means that when the camera pans over to Palin she is going to look like she is 22 years old with skin to die for…… I put the question to Elmore about it and when he gets home from yesterday’s Monday Night Football game I am going to get an answer…..

I’m on an Orwell tear. Listened to 1984 last week. Think it’s called total emersion in totalitarianism.

lime jello and cottage cheese.

huh?
the reference escaped me

hey kiddo

2 things

1. we forget he is Black. we simply see him as the Dem candidate period. Like any woman running for office in this country – he has to watch his back and appear more circumspect, more measured, more “articulate”, or they will go Full Metal Heathers on his ass – but wait, there’s more

2. most of Left Blogistan is sharing your concerns – polls, palin, blah, blah, blah – understandable when there are HUGE lies and spin from the target rich environment that is the McCain Campaign/RNC. ok.

said this last night, but I think he is lulling them and allowing them to run all but buck wild before the debates. He has done this again and again throughout the campaign. He is not going to give them any hint of anything new or specific before 9/26. and they may in fact be trying to shake that tree with all their current ridiculous nonsense.

Just remember how much new and specific stuff we heard in the Invesco speech – I think he is doing that again

just try and hang on till Oxford :D

Can’t get enough of it in real life, eh? *g*

Sarah believes the world is 6,000 years old. She is against choice even in the cases of rape and incest, she asks that we “respect” her daughters “decision” BUT would see that judges are appointed that would REFUSE to allow my daughter the right to “choose.” She believes the war is a challenge from “God.” She SAYS “God” supports her specific choice for a pipeline in Alaska.

The woman is not STUPID she is just OUTRAGIOUSLY IGNORANT.

My response to depression is to overintellectualize it.

Here you go — it was an Attaturk special. Enjoy…

Mine, too. And then I mock it. I’ve been in the mocking phase for…oh…four years or so now. *G*

http://parterre.com/wp-content…..norway.jpg

If you look at the Sarah portrait on the cover of Time, you can see she is wearing a pretty heavy coat of primer. If you want to see it, here is a link to BagnewsNotes, scroll about halfway down.

Only 4 years? Me, since the invasion of Iraq.

I agree. But she probably has ulterior motives for staying with McSlime. I don’t know what they are, and people make bargains with the devil for reasons those of us on the outside will not and cannot ever understand.

On the clothes thing – everyone is not born with good taste. She has a load of money – and probably put herself in the hands of a designer (the one who did most of her outfits). Unfortunately, that person appears to be more interested in showcasing his/her clothes than doing what is best for Cindy. That makes me sad, as a designer myself.

And her $300,000 outfit? Most of it was a pair of diamond earrings. My late husband gave me a rather large diamond engagement ring that he had scrimped and saved for over 3 years to purchase, and actually took another two years to pay off. But I wear it with all my ‘outfits’ and so sweatpants and a tee-shirt are actually a very expensive ‘outfit’ by that definition. Sure her earrings are really expensive. But I think that’s not really a fair comparison. I have a set of diamond earrings too – but I have never owned a designer outfit except the ones I made myself.

What is really sexist is the suggestion that from now on only Palin can talk about what can wear lipstick and can freely insult community workers, and that anything to do with her personal life (because she’s a haaaakeee maaaam) is off limits.

Pretty soon, mentioning her female name will be sexist.

I’m so sick of this crappola.

BTW, did I mention that she LIES all the time!!!

We’re buying it by the 55 gal. drum now…with the handy pump sprayer.

So that’s what I’ve been doing? Guess it’s one of the healthier responses given that we all have responsibilities.

However, of late, it’s getting tougher. It’s as if my middle aged brain can barely cope with this all.

I found this:

McCain shows almost no signs of permanent damage from her stroke, which has been attributed to her failure to take her blood pressure medication regularly. “I was feeling fine, so I only took the medication once in a while,” she notes. In conversation, she will occasionally have trouble remembering certain facts, especially from the recent past, and if you look closely you realize she cannot make her right hand into a complete fist, which has affected her handwriting, if not her ability to grasp a gearshift knob. “It’s not bad,” she says, describing the damage to her hand. “I can function. I have short-term memory loss. I can remember all the major details of my life, but I sometimes can’t remember what happened last week.”

In the immediate wake of the stroke, McCain’s prospects did not look so good. Her right leg was dragging, and she had no use of her right arm. After a few months of physical rehabilitation, she decided to start hiking the trails behind Squaw Peak Mountain, which is visible in the near distance from the terrace. Then she announced that she was going to Coronado, a manicured resort town in San Diego Bay. “I’m going to take the summer, and I’m going to fix myself,” she told her family. She stayed for four and a half months. “My husband was not happy with me,” she recalls. “He didn’t understand … but it was a good thing for me to do.”

Non-compliance with medications is fairly common, about 1/3 of patients. Rebound hypertension can occur going off BP drugs. But to have what I can only assume to be a full blown hypertensive crisis in someone like Cindy McCain’s age group and apparent health, that is extremely unusual. Note John McCain’s reaction at the end. Asshole.

Since the day that SOB moved into 1600. Fucker. There. Now I feel somewhat better. 133 days.

I meant the duration of the mockery phase. I’ve been over-intellectualizing the crap for waaaaay longer than 4 years. *G*

I know 1984 analogies have been overused practically since Orwell wrote it but it’s resemblance to U.S. government in recent years (or vice versa) are SO striking, particularly in regard to Newspeak and the Ministry of Truth, Ministry of Love, etc..

Oh well…reply is not working for me. Meant to reply to eCAHNomics @85. She’s enlightened me. Feels very familiar.

My guess is that overintellectualizing is healthier than overemotionalizing. YMMV.

Yes, Prince of Compassion, that one. Ahem.

How is your mom doing, btw?

I forgot to note that Laura Bush’s outfit (actually the white suit) was from the same designer as Cindy’s. And Cindy’s blue outfit on the night she gave her speech was also. So there are more appropriate (for her) dresses and suits this designer has come up with, I just don’t get the orange and yellow stuff with her blonde hair and skin tones.

Like I said before, the designer obviously using her to advertise his/her stuff and not paying attention to who is wearing it.

“and if you look closely you realize she cannot make her right hand into a complete fist, which has affected her handwriting, if not her ability to grasp a gearshift knob. “It’s not bad,” she says, describing the damage to her hand.”

Hmmm….same hand wearing the brace these days..the one that got injured from shaking someone’s hand.

Coinkydinky I’m sure.

Note John McCain’s reaction at the end. Asshole.

So I guess he couldn’t find anyone younger and with more money this time? Prick…

Obama campaign’s statement on this McCain inanity, btw:

“Enough is enough The McCain campaign’s attack tonight is a pathetic attempt to play the gender card about the use of a common analogy – the same analogy that Senator McCain himself used about Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s health care plan just last year. This phony lecture on gender sensitivity is the height of cynicism and lays bare the increasingly dishonorable campaign John McCain has chosen to run,” said Obama campaign senior advisor Anita Dunn.

Took me awhile to catch onto the fact that if there were a right way and a wrong way, W would do it wrong. So it was when I figured out that there were no WMD in Iraq, roughly end of 02, that it all became clear.

I know 1984 analogies have been overused practically since Orwell wrote it but it’s resemblance to U.S. government in recent years (or vice versa) are SO striking

I know that is the way it looks, but it is completely coincidental that Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.

Guess McC was afraid he was going to be saddled with another wife who was disabled. He is such a jerk.

I really like Anita Dunn, if all goes well, I hope there is a role for her in an Obama administration.

Got it. I started the overintellectualizin phase on 9/11/01, as I was in Manhattan, and knew nothing about what I witnessed. Interestingly, I never ever was as panicked about Al Qaeda as I am about my own govt. Learning about both in the interrim has pointed out where the real danger lies.

She and Bill Burton have both been fairly good. And that’s the second time they’ve questioned McCain’s honor today. He’s gonna pop a cork if they keep this up.

*cue the sinister laugh track here*

Oh wow..she had the stroke in 2004..that means she had a stroke when she was 49. She must have some blood pressure problems.

The New P.C.G.O.P.

Defenders of wimminfolk, pregnant teens and the disabled!

Drudge has his flaccide penis in a twizzle over this too!

Keep the white wimmin away from Obama!

-G

I tell ya though, Obama better get the eye of the tiger pretty fucking quick, because he’s starting to go Kerry 04 on us.

For all her wealth, there is something a bit sad about Cindy McCain. She and her husband never, ever make eye contact.

Nice use of the word dishonorable. Could this signal a transition in their messaging? Have they used that word before? A dishonorable campaign by a man who served his country so honorably in the war.

Yeah, Johnny Mac is a really thoughtful person. Note whenever they are together he does not give her a hand going down the airplane steps or up the steps to the campaign platform. I’ve seen her looking a bit wobbly and he is completely oblivious.

Lipstick on a pig, lipstick on a pig, lipstick on a pig…repeat often.

I think I may be the original case (there’s a medical term that for the life of me I can’t wrap my brain around now…) of Bush Derangement Syndrome. I loathed that little pinhead from the day he announced he was running for President and it’s only gotten worse. Peter flat out refused to discuss ANYTHING to do with politics with me for years…

Actually “ratfood” COULD refer to Winston Smith’s stay in the Ministry of Love.

I agree. I like her. I don’t like him.

True, not everyone has good taste. But turning over what you wear on Teevee and allowing them to dress you like a clown bears some personal responsibility.

Marion..considering the lengths to which Cindy McCain went to fix herself, she was very very aware of what her husband’s response could/would be if she ended up not looking perfect.

eli has fresh threadiness upstairs

It’s a bitch when the ladies start to discuss fashion, isn’t it?! I get the same feeling during football or basketball discussions…

Touche’ Marion! *g*

Speaking of which, Christy, what happened to the Mountaineers this past weekend…? ;-)

I think the analogies with 1984 are not overblown. Besides what you mention (almost everything W sez is the opposite of reality), there is spying on citizens, and torture, including isolation and stress positions. The only torture method we don’t know about yet is Room 101, though I’m sure it exists in black sites, and use of dogs is a public manifestation of it in lesser form. Use of hate (2 min hate/day) and Hate Week, plus fear (note: US is no longer at war with Libya; US has NEVER been at war with Libya is just today’s example) as unifying us against the other. What’s not prescient?

I have a family member who’s had a stroke, and the affected side hurts if touched too hard. Shoulder, hand, knee, etc.

It’s a challenge but thanks for asking. I think we’re at the “adolescent phase” these days. She only wants to, and will do, what pleases her. I am trying to adjust to leaving my NYC life and live these next few years in a spirit of day to day encouragement but it’s hard.

We have an emotional (and somewhat physical) mountain to climb this next year. Her only granddaughter, my Katherine, will marry next Labor Day weekend to a young man we all adore. Mother is expressing absolutely no interest, effort, and/or enthusiasm about all of this. It’s very hurtful/sad to see as she and Kath have always been very close (Kath’s the girly girl mother always wished my twin and I had been.

Probably too much information. However, I feel as if I’m in a parallel universe here. A high point of some days are seeing the excellent anti-Dole ads the DSCC is running!

When is he gonna throw the worn out ole bag for someone younger & less damaged?

Most of our defensive line graduated last year — and our best remaining senior (a guy who is All-American material) is sidelined with an injury. We always have trouble with ECU for some reason — they get in our heads. And we played like crap.

Oh, you’re absolutely right. However, she did have the cushion that it would be very hard for him to find richer… I feel sad for her. She doesn’t look happy, and he’s notorious for having an evil temper.

There seems to be new thready deliciousness upstairs…

I don’t feel sad for Cindy because she has a choice. I just don’t want her husband to take away our choice.

Ari Melber has a fantastic write-up on the press angle in this at the Washington Independent. It’s a great peek behind the idiocy and manipulation…

Sorry…my treatise @ 128 was a response to Christy’s kind question.

They’re poll ranking is gonna take a serious hit…!

Btw… Eli’s upstairs…

He did already. Sarah ‘the lipstick-pig’ Palin is the replacement. Since he didn’t throw Cindy over a cliff he can still use her money and this new one doesn’t have much money but she is on track to deliver him the biggest prize on the planet.

Check him out ogling her a** when she’s talking and he’s standing a bit behind and to the side of her.

>snark

Hugs — went through that with my grandpa, and it’s awfully rough. If there is a hospice group in the area that can come over and give you a a few hours a week to get out and get some time to yourself, call them. The emotional drain is imperceptible sometimes while it’s happening — but you realize the weight you were carrying only after the fact. It’s good to be certain you take the load off, even just for a little while, on a regular basis.

BTW. CTuttle and CHS,

I live 20 miles from ECU. Am not a fan of theirs but did watch the game on Saturday. Have always admired the WVU program but they looked like imposters in those unis on Saturday.

Let’s hope that was just an anomaly. I’m sure none of then slept through the scary bit of Hanna that blew through here on Friday night. The green pine cones sounds like mortar rounds hitting the roofs. Took me two days to clean the yard …and that was just the major debris.

Christy,

Melber’s line that deserves repeating:

Campaign journalists don’t need to cover two sides to every lie — especially an outlandish gender card trick like this one.

-G

WVU were fantastic in their first game this year — looked very sharp. That’s when our All-American kid, who I think is one of the defensive co-captains this year, got injured. He was the glue on that defensive line — the rest are either true freshmen or very green sophomores, if I’m remembering correctly with maybe 3 other exceptions. And they were flat-footed the whole game. It was painful.

Christy, I had a good day, bad day. A friend of mine talked about Sarah being a breath of fresh air..(okay that was bad) and then I received a call about an office for Barack within 1/2 mile of my house. ( here in Roswell, ga) It might be a waste of money to open an office here but it certainly will give me a place to spend my time. It is also across the street from the Publix that I shopped in yesterday that covered a magazine with a shield that had a positive article about Obama and his girls.

Apropos of nothing, really, but here it is in its entirety:

Lime Jello Marshmallow Cheese Surprise

Ladies, the minutes will soon be read today.
The Garden Club and Weaving Class
I’m sure have much to say…

But next week is our culture night,
Our biggest, best event,
And I’ve just made a dish for it
You’ll all find heaven sent:

It’s my lime jello marshmallow cottage cheese surprise!
With slices of pimento
(You won’t believe your eyes)
All topped with a pineapple ring
And a dash of mayonnaise,
My vanilla wafers ’round the edge
Will win your highest praise.

And Mrs. Jones is making scones
That are filled with peanut mousse;
To be followed by a chicken mold
That’s made in the shape of a goose.
For ladies who must watch those pounds
We’ve found a special dish:
Strawberry ice
Enshrined in rice
With bits of tuna fish.

And my lime jello marshmallow cottage cheese surprise
(Truly a creation that description defies)
Will go so well
With Mrs. Bell’s creation of the week:
Shrimp salad topped with chocolate sauce
And garnished with a leek.

And Mrs. Perkins’ walnut loaf
That’s crowned with melted cheese
Was such a hit last culture night,
We ask: no seconds please!
Now you must try
Her hot dog pie
With candied mushroom slices…
Those ladies who resigned last year,
They just don’t know what nice is!

But my lime jello marshmallow cottage cheese surprise,
I did not steal that recipe,
It’s lies, I tell you, lies!

Our grand award:
A picture hat
And a salmon sequined gown
For any girl who tries each dish
And keeps her whole lunch down!

I’m sure you all are waiting
For the biggest news: dessert!
We’ve thought of things
In molds and rings
Your diet to subvert.

You must try our chocolate layer cake
On a peanut brittle base
With slices of bananas
That make a funny face.
Around the edges peppermints
Just swimming in peach custard,
With lovely little curlicues
Of lovely yellow mustard!

If all this is too much for you,
Permit me to advise
More Lime Jello Marshmallow Cottage Cheese Surprise!
I’ve made heaps!

Oh, lord, I hope you’re right!!!

What I have heard from reliable sources, there are diplomats who are concerned about mccain but so far they have not come forward. Repubs first, country second, I guess.

Nancy Reagan? She does not like McCain; she likely does not find Sarah charming.

That was so kind of you. Now you’re in as well. Welcome. Shrugs were the thing about 40years ago.

We did all hear that according to Meghan ONLY the McCain family understands war, didn’t we? Isn’t that special…

Remember, family is out of bounds, even when they intentionally tempt you to talk about them. Not not Jenna can tempt all she wants, but ‘out of bounds’ is still the same as it ever was.

The Obama campaign’s already sent out their response by e-mail:

“Enough is enough! The McCain campaign’s attack tonight is a pathetic attempt to play the gender card about the use of a common analogy – the same analogy that Senator McCain himself used about Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s health care plan just last year. This phony lecture on gender sensitivity is the height of cynicism and lays bare the increasingly dishonorable campaign John McCain has chosen to run,” said Obama campaign senior advisor Anita Dunn.

I think Obama should say that he was calling McCain a pig.

Is that Palin’s governor’s office staff in Alaska? Looks like a fun bunch.

When Obama gets spun he resorts to juvenile attacks, he did the same thing with Hillary when he flipped her off. The guy has very thin skin.

Or send McCain the picture; he’ll get the message.

Odd, I didn’t think ‘Palin’ at all. When I heard ‘lipstick on a pig’ I thought “maybe the bj will put McCranky in a good mood for a change.”

But then I had a vision of Rudy in drag, softly moaning “9-11″, so all I can say is I’m glad the pigs are safe and far away from any of those jackals.

Have been grooving on that. Very droll and smart narration!

Was just reading about her charity stuff with cleft paletes for children and removing land mines.

What about the “Sambo” remark attributed to Palin? Is that one true. Lucille the waitress overheard it in Anchorage? Getting emails.

Christy,

Adore the picture! :)

If Obama did a “Freudian” slip … well, who can blame him. No one deserved it more.

I thought of Palin. I appreciated the article in Salon by Cole entitled, What is the difference between Sarah Palin and a Muslim Fundamentalist? Lipstick. Lipstick jokes have been in my head. But I have heard putting lipstick on a pig a lot of times, sadly. Wall Street conning.

I don’t see anything wrong about spending $300,000 to look like a banana, or a tangerine, or a slice of delicious lime green jello. I wonder if her designer has figured out how to make a dress that looks like a factory-fresh can of spam perched on stiletto heels?

ROTFLMAO!
Beautiful!

I don’t get it. Won’t the pig starve if its lips are stuck together?

Using that same tortured logic, she called herself a dog.
Obama must come out and say that he mispoke.
He meant to say dog. Lipstick on a dog.

Tapper, you happy now?

He’s not going to “win” any debates, and the media will say so.
Hell, Gore won all of them in 2000 except in the alternate reality where our press and the non-thinking Americans live.
