Yet another similarity to President Clusterfuck

That would be “W” redux.

Yet another similarity to President Clusterfuck

there I fixed for ya, by the way he is was not MY prezident, he was anointed the first time and he stole the election the second time. Bush is just a cheater and a liar…. maybe that’s where Sarahhh learned her lessons in lying!!

Great research, Julia.

On another topic, did you see bjnts pics of BBQ??

Society has names for women like Palin. But I’m too much of a lady to mention any of them. She’s just another in the Republican stable.

And proper pronunciation of the word, “nukuler.”

Julia!!! Great catch!!

Palin is pathetic and dangerous.

Palin and McCain are impostors.

The only thing authentic about her is her phonyness. She’s a faker outer. Thinks it’s cute to play people. She’s a real power tripper, just like McCain. It’s extremely upsetting to see someone like her being adored by so many Americans. But, I’m not going to go all like that tonight.

Digg Is now op[en Pups!
So take out your new shovels and DIGG this Post for da LAKE and Julia!!

McCain has used those names in regard to his wife!

Y’mean…the Governor is really Sarah “Soapy Smith” Palin?

Con woman, bunko artist, and mayor of a small Alaska town with avaricious desire for higher office?

The parallels are actually striking.

KKKarl lives.

yup. He and Mrs. McPharmacueticals are vulger swine.

And I would bet dimes to dollars he has used those “WORDS” much more than once!!

What fun!

This is how she REALLY dresses herself, prior to the Republican Fashion Police intervention:

You betcha!

Whatever did we say BP (before Palin)?

Do you know who is Julia in the pics?

Fer sure. Yanno, I would really like to know ET’s take on the authentic Mat-Su Valley Girl accent.

Taste? You expect taste?

And the smiles seem like grimaces to me.

But… but… if this were true, then that would mean Governor Pain –– sorry, Palin –– is actually a completely cynical lying sham of a shadow of a mockery of a lie, and holds her audience in utterly total contempt!

OMG..I just said “you betcha” to Mr. LS. All is lost. OMG….I need a lobotomy pronto.

Pollster.com just moved Colorado and Florida into Obama’s column-putting him well over the top to win if he can hold on.

I never said taste….did I?

THE PEOPLE TO GOVERNOR PAIN: “What kind of chumps do you take us for?”
GOVERNOR PAIN TO THE PEOPLE: “First rate!”

Lobotomies make you Mavericky !

This is not really a mystery. I do this, myself. I was raised in a small town in Alabama. My accent, when I went to college, was very thick. People perceived me as stupid. They believed my accent denoted a lack of education. This is very often the prerogative of any American that has a northeastern, western or more subtle Midwestern accents. People very quickly judge other people on the nature of their accent.

You drop it and reinvoke it depending on the audience. It’s just a fact of life for most Americans who have one of the looked-down-upon accents.

Nice photos. Wish I could put faces to names. Isn’t that kind of the point of a meet up. I remember you saying some people wanted to keep their ids secret. Whatever.
I do recognize you (the hip chick) and Betsy, but don’t know anyone else.

BRAVO!!! nahant!
and
DITTO!

Gee and I was blaming it on a combination of rabies and advanced syphilis.

Who’da thunk it?

I certainly do not use my full vocabulary and often type like I am an ignorant Redneck,I am in no way unintelligent, but I am not being phony when I rely on my verbal laziness, I was raised by folks from the hills of Tennessee, I come by it naturally.
Then again, I am not running for office .
I can see her phoniness a mile away.

Shuckydarn Miss Pailin, y’all do a lousy imitation.

Next she is going to try and tell me she likes Grits and Hominy fer cryin’ out loud.

Geez. I got taken to the woodshed here for askin the same Q about Michelle Obama, why she drops the g in ing, and says min instead on men. MO went to Princeton, for crying out loud. And BO says ta instead of to. Geez.

Ducking under computer table,

the middle-aged one who doesn’t get enough sleep. Natch.

Do you wear fuck-me pumps and sateen belted suits and wink a lot while speaking with your accent? I’m guessing not, and there’s the difference.

Besides, I’d rather she showed her real self…AIP supporter and all…that’s the real deal…not the “Dallas” suits…. She does, however, wear her “new” “Republican shoes” rather well…..(love the shoes)…

McCain is a fooooool. He stands for everything she and Todd hate…

Talk about a clusterf*ck.

Let the games begin!!!

I knew you were part southern the moment I saw grendel in your name..)

Everyone in the world has an “accent”.

Julia is seated in IMG 3302, but standing, she is a tall item! (Julia, hope it’s OK to ID you!)

Ding f’ing Ding.

On accents. Mrs Knut is a French-Canadian lawyer. Her accent changes with the kind of client or person she is dealing with. She doesn’t go as far as Palin, but she shades her accent to the kind of person she is dealing with. It is a way of getting empathy and cooperation from them.

Evidently BO does it so Republicans will think he’s an elitist.

You know what this means too, doncha;

“Bless her heart”.

Can you tell me who the woman with the goldish top in photo 3304? If she’s one who doesn’t mind being outed?

Really the only thing missing from the picture is the gum chewing, and maybe a good nickname –– something like “Trixxi” or “Bambi”.

OT, but maybe not so much. I was thinking tonight that Obama has got inside McCain’s head, the way basketball and tennis players do to their opponents. I think he will go in for the kill tomorrow night, and he has every right to do so after today’s performance by McCain.

So Sarah Sixpack sometimes when she is talkin’ about somethin’ does use ‘g’s. Very interestin’.

Also, interesting, interestin’ is how her campaign is tryin’ a new press strategy. The press can be very annoyin’. But lockin’ ‘em up solves that problem. The journalists are gettin’ their very own free speech zone. But they cannot do any talkin’ to the people there. The reason is that the gotcha press keeps writin’ negative things.

Constantly under the watchful eyes of security, the media wasn’t permitted to wander around inside Coachman Park to talk to Sarah Palin supporters. When reporters tried to leave the designated press area and head toward the bleachers where the crowd was seated, an escort would dart out of nowhere and confront him or her and say, “Can I help you?” and turn the person around.

When one reporter asked an escort, who would not give her name, why the press wasn’t allowed to mingle, she said that in the past, negative things had been written. The campaign wanted to avoid that possibility Monday.

It’s fine. I kind of like that picture.

And I am in fact a tall item. Also wide, but that’s mutable.

And a neon sign. Oh!

Swatt not quite quick enough eCan!!

*sigh* Nobody had the courtesy to let the earlier thread, EW’s, know Julia was up…?

well, I replied, tho I was not taking you to the woodshed. I believe I pointed out that the US has plenty of regional accents, except of course in the special case of SoCal, where there are not regional accents.

However, I’m really not sure what to make of Palin’s “Valley Girl” accent (Mat-Su Valley) and I would like ET’s take on this.

You are fucking brilliant, dude.
You spelled phoniness correctly. I did not.
(and, I’m supposed to be a writer. :( )

Hey, C.

Whatever it takes. Doesn’t roll easily off my ears, though, and doesn’t save him from the elitist accusations.

This is a minor matter, and I don’t want to get into a dustup over it. It’s a petty peeve for me. If you’re going to be accused of being an elitist, don’t pander by degenerating your speech.

Obama’s done well by remaining calm & dignified. Let it be that.

I’d rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

Salud !

and a brass pole!
WHERE’S THE BRASS POLE?????
lol

Those of us able to get down in the swill with ‘em should. Obama should not.

Aloha, Julia! Excellent post! ;-)

Can it really be true that a majority of this country fails to see the extent of the danger on display here?

Did you brass pole or brass bed??

Orange top. Hope she doesn’t mind, it’s Juslin. *waving if you’re lurking* Also 2578 & 2575 with bjnts in NYC.

She’d prolly but sugar and milk on grits.

I’ll drink to that!

*say*

OK!!!

she’s easy!!!

They ALL do it, because they are ALL trying to appeal to the people that speak takin’ and goin’ and votin’.

Yup. That’s what they does. *g*

I was kidding, the idea of them accusing him of being elitist was absurd from the outset. Clearly, it isn’t based on anything he actually says or does.

ummmm
i’d ask “could i get in on that”, but
it already happennnnennnnn.
lol

And simple as my dearly-departed grandmother used to say.

Hey, you. My very first YouTube!

My older sister told me that SarAH is the most unprofessional politician she has ever seen. My sister was the past president of the Chamber of Commerce in Salem Mass and has introduced both John Kerry and Ted Kennedy to the Chamber and would never presume to ask them if she could call them by their first names! That and the winking boy did she have a lot to say about that!! Can’t repeat all she said as it would be moderated, and her choice of clothing well you know how she reacted to that. Sis was a VP of Marketing at an old Hotel in Salem Mass and she knows her stuff.

Well, when Palin talks trash, she does it with a smile.
When McCain talks trash, he sounds like a grumpy old man.

So, they have Palin talk trash.

Bob in HI

Well, when I first brought it up, I asked if it were a generational difference. In my 60-something generation, those of us who were consciously upwardly mobile, consciously tried to lose our regional accents. Perhaps the younguns are more relaxed?

But then Julia’s post suggests it’s just as u say, a put-on to “connect” to the lesser folk. Pandering.

Julia, I’m surprised ya didn’t capitalize on Miz Palin’s geographical ineptitude… ;-)

Thank you.
Hi Juslin - haven’t seen you here recently.
Come out, come out, wherever you are. Or not. Your choice.

Bless her heart!
how’d she KNOW this broad????
hehe

There’s always time for another toast. *clink*

Amateur…! *g*

I posted a comment a day or two ago in which I referred to the Alaska/Afghanistan border. Now this. If I’m starting to channel Palin, someone please put me out of my misery.

My older sister, 54, had the same reaction to Palin. She said, “I lived during the time when women worked very hard for equality, and this little twit has destroyed that generations-long progress in two f’n weeks!”

I noticed her accent disappearing during the debate. I notice that McCain is winking more. I notice that her hair is down for Fox and up for everyone else. I notice that she’s quite comfortable slinging mud and rather eager.

I notice investigations about her appearing and disappearing too.

I know, right? Granny had that intuition.

Yup.

If you show any tendency towards a refleksion of a edjication, you are unpatrio-otic kind of person.

Dummin’ you down.

Doggonitt!!!

You betcha!!!

Well, I suspect as much, anyway.

I’m not sure which of them is authentically her way of speaking, but one of them is a major put-on.

Coming to think of it, Juslin seems to be more reliable for turning up at parties. Ha!

*sniff*

:(

I’d mentioned on a earlier post; God help us if they get access to the button… I’m sure Ottawa would be targeted through their incompetence…! ;-)

Hmmm. Interesting that the focus is on the accent. My partner is a linguist, and the first time I played a Sarah Palin clip for him, he didn’t even comment on the accent. I believe “word salad” was the phrase he used to describe it. I suggested that a grad student could spend their career analyzing her various speeches, but he said no. There’s just no THERE there.

I’m sure your sister was just venting. No individual (no matter how annoying) can destroy the constructive efforts of so many.

Having said that, it is impossible to win a decisive, lasting victory over ignorance. Many battles have to be waged anew by each successive generation.

was that the get together i was gonna make my oatmeal crnberry cookies for?….oh im sorry i did not know it was imminent..loooks like yall had fun

And proper pronunciation of the word, “nukuler.”

IS THERE COPY OF HER PRONOUNCING NUCLEAR CORRECTLY?

oh man, that would SO destroy her image

I personally have NEVER heard ANYONE pronounce it the way this president does before he did it

Ding. Us 60-something women think Palin’s the worst thing that ever happened to taking women seriously. She’s, in a word, a whore, running for the second highest office in the world.

Double spit. Makes my life a travesty.

Sounds like a smart woman to me!
Priorities and all…

I personally have NEVER heard ANYONE pronounce it the way this president does before he did it

and now I hear all the republicans doing it, I BET rove sent out a commandment, “make it new QUE lar from now ON, or ELSE

I was kidding, Ma Cheri! 8-)

I only mastered it through Suz’s kind assistance…! *g*

Love “word salad.” Wish I’d been clever enough to have coined that.

I think I pronounced it like Bush and Palin until I learned to read.

Oh, yeah, she was venting. I talked her down.

Something the Republicans have been working quite hard at, dumbing people down, it is disgusting, they have been doing it for decades.

See, and that offends me. Because my grandmother grew up on a farm in the mountains of Italy, and had to drop out of elementary school to take care of her younger siblings at age seven when her father died and her mother had to take over the farm.

Riling up antagonisms against education is a terrific way of making sure that people won’t ask why one isn’t available to them or their children.

You notice, though, there isn’t anyone campaigning or working for anyone who’s campaigning who doesn’t have a damn good one.

Well, except maybe for Ms. Goodling & Co.

the fab GLENZILLA

under bush it’s been the highest office in the world, it will be the same under mccain

Food, I think it’s safe to say, was had :D

My older sister, 54, had the same reaction to Palin. She said, “I lived during the time when women worked very hard for equality, and this little twit has destroyed that generations-long progress in two f’n weeks!”

I tend to disagree with this analysis. I really don’t think that Sarah Palin is bad for women in general. She has proven that any idiot can be the totally cynical choice for the Republican Veep slot, regardless of their gender. In 1988, it was Dan Quayle. In 2004, it’s Sarah Palin.

Noo-Kyoo-Luhr has been mis-pronounced for generations

At least as long as I can remember

child of the 60’s

I think I pronounced it like Bush and Palin until I learned to read.

nope, I researched it and you pronounced it correctly even before you learned to read

I have it documented, sorry

Suz is mighty.

It’s a symptom of schizophrenia

Love “word salad.” Wish I’d been clever enough to have coined that.

I’d heard the phrase before, to be honest. We use it in medicine to describe the speech patterns of some schizophrenics. I’ll spare you the obvious punchline.

we should have a battle of the progressives;

glenzilla vs jane kong

“G”……………..GOOD

You want to know an interesting fact?
When people live in close proximity to nuclear plants they have no problem pronouncing it properly, in my personal experience.

The Trojan NUCLEAR plant was a huge incentive.

Don’t think so . Happened in June. But now that I know u make cookies …

I believe “word salad” was the phrase he used to describe it.

Hey - that was the word I came up with too.

Your partner is obviously a brilliant person.

or maybe just had a bad moment. *g*

did you see what THE VILE BINT caused today?

http://www.americablog.com/2008/10/kill-him.html

It’s not just Palin. There’s a sub-culture of women just like her. And, then there’s another sub-culture of ladies whom are the polar opposite. Think suffrage.

Hah. You got it. Just emailed her the link so she can chuckle with us at a later date.

The phrase “Intermittent Gunderson Syndrome” from the beginning of the video is reasonably apt. I was surprised when I first heard her that the Minnesota/Dakotas dialect had migrated as far as Alaska. That also seems to be the speech pattern Tina Fey has tapped for her impression.

and CLINK to you, eCAHN!!!
I’ll pour,
while I throw THIS one out.

I WANT TO HAVE enough money to offer whoever I need to offer it to, to give me the tape, be a fly on the wall, WHATEVER,
to get to hear the conversation where WHOEVER THREW the idea of Palin at McStain for the first time….
the arguments, the plusses, the “get the “hil” voters, and “blow the red guys… out of the water, or whatever..”
I can go on and can only IMAGINE…..
who threw that up to him and just HOW did that go down??? THAT conversation,
ya know???
i’d love to buy that fly!!!
ya know???
GLUG GLUG,,,,,
OOOPS
i over poured again! i talk too much when i bartend…
it’s KNOWN!
