Apparently the Governor’s snowmobile suit and hunting camo didn’t make the trip to the lower 48, so she needed to do a little shopping.
yo.
mornin’ BT, Raven, everybody. Loved the “citizen’s arrest”. But the lady was much too polite and timid. Gotta get some of those people who tried to lie down in front of Palin’s motorcade. Loved Kerry’s joke (has that been around? never heard it before. I figure if Kerry’s telling it, it must be old). Loved Mitchell’s response to Rove. Funny stuff.
My mother used to make the clothes for my sister’s Barbie. How times change…
Morning all;
Was phone banking last night and got ahold of a real wingnut. He said that Obama was born in Kenya and that I should be watching faux news to learn all about it. I would have been ROFL if there had been floor space.
Mika is being deluged with emails hammering Misses Moose!
Good job w/ that!!! That IS alot of money for clothes for Palin. Especially for a reg’lur hockey mom. My wife is reg’lur. I’m not sure but I’ll ask her if she spends that much on clothes. Joe Sixpack must be workin’ a second job.
Hear in Flroida speling is opshunal.
(I hope they bring the banner up here to Gainesville today; I want my own picture of it!)
Check the slide show on Huff Post and get a load of the pink tu tu with the leg warmers. What a rube.
Q: Is Bill Kristol a Democratic mole?
Because Palin is the gift that keeps on giving.
And the McCain campaign is saying tyhiose clotes were always meant to go to a charitable organization? Bullshit. Bullshit. And Bullshit.
Aw, now Mika says “no matter what women do, they have to defend it”. Waaaaaaaa
LOL!!!!!! Saw that. Carrying the baby, too. In the supermarket. Maybe he isn’t a campaign prop and she does that all the time. But why? I’ve never seen that.
Yup. It’s tough. Very hard to defend being a complete ignoramus.
Ya know when Mcshames daughter can drop $45k a month or Cindy $750K in a month, Caribou Barbie can’t look outclassed
lol
http://images.huffingtonpost.c….._large.jpg
Sorry about all the typos. No more than usual for me. But still warrants an apology.
Wonder if Todd’s in on this too. Article didn’t say. But they’ve been out doing “official” campaign business so I’d bet they’ve benefited too.
You can’t buy class. . .
ZMOG what on earth is she wearing?!
can you?
I love, love, love the misspellings on the banner created by the wingnut! Hysterical. The Dumbing Down of the Nation begins with the republic Party!
I sure wouldn’t hire Cindy as my fashion consultant.
Think “Oblivious Neutron Bomb” “Let’s Get Physical, Physical”!
lol!
Barbi couture! lol
Yeah, but at least she does actually look like she has just given birth. That’s the first photo I’ve seen that shows such evidence.
That ticket seems to favor the dairy aisle. can’t figure the significance.
Mornin’, BT, Firepups
As I stated last night there will be some civil disobedience before the first game of the World Serious. It was kinda iffy as to what we were gonna do but now the plan has been firmed up. Tonight one person has volunteered to pass out leaflets for the express purpose of being arrested by the St Pete PD with the rest of the folks acting as witnesses, cameras and all. At least that’s the plan. I have a feeling more than 1 person will be participating. The big protest will come Saturday morning in conjunction with the Uhurus. The “clean zone” rule will still be in effect so we’ll all be in violation Saturday. If you’re in the Tampa/St Pete area we’d love y’all to join us.
Force is the weapon of the week.
No, but you can buy pink garbage bags.
Morning all :)
OT, but does anyone know anything about this?
‘It was a small news item tucked in the Adirondack Daily Enterprise over the weekend. “Powerful generals and admirals from some of the most powerful nations on Earth are reportedly meeting somewhere in the local area this weekend after flying into the Adirondack Regional Airport in Lake Clear on Friday,” Peter Crowley wrote on Saturday.’

Where?
Can you do absentee ballots from jail?
SD!!
take care and take pictures.
LOL.
JHFC. edit – weapon of the
weekweakFigure I’ll be out before election day.
Obama was born in Kenya. I am shocked. If only he was a real american who was born in Panama.
In New York
I saw that yesterday. Wonder what that’s all about? Surprising that no one else picked up on it, which suggests willful ignorance on the part of MSM — that makes me nervous.
I’ll be dogged!

Whatch yer top knot.
It’s how they got so cheesy.
all the time or just in October?
Excellent, be safe and have fun!
Oh, man. I thought you had chores to do.
Her wardrobe cost more than my house.
Did anyone listen to McCain on Imus? Mark Halperin has the tape at time.com and I’m just wondering if it’s worth listening to.
Did she go on Queer Eye for the Moose Guy Special Bimbo Edition?
And I love how the woman Caribou Barbie is talking to has hot dogs in her cart! I bet Caribou Barbie has never eaten a hot dog in her life. Oh wait. That’s right. She’s not really one of us like she says she is.
Yeah, in my cammy top I stand out like a sore thumb.
I’m sure he had all kinds of new shit to say.
Yea but they wouldn’t fuck with a vet!
Sarah will be interviewed at 8:15 a.m. CT [9:15 ET] this morning on Fargo rightwing talk radio by Scott Hennen. Name ring a bell?
Yeah, he’s the guy who chortled with Chee-knee about waterboarding. Who knows what he can elicit from La Diva Sarah.
I’ll be missin’ it, but maybe somebody should listen in just to hear what’s goin’ under the radar…. If your stomach’s stronger than mine, you can try linking here for live audio.
Or here, the station website. Kinda makes you wonder who’s bankrollin’ this guy.
And to remind us who’ll still be out there come November 5.
and styrofoam cups. some ground beef. eggs. is she having a barbecue?
Dream on
yup, while McCain was on Movie and Makeup.
She only eats moose dogs. Or is that hot mooses, I can never remember.
Apparently McCain dodged the questions this morning on the Imus show. I missed that, too. But Imus didn’t sound happy about the way the interview went earlier. Will be interesting to see how fast/if they post it up to the wabc website. Or whether they re-play it during the 9 am ET hour.
do be careful there (((Dragon))) – law enforcement adrenaline and all
Mornin’ All
Could it be related to this?
‘In a little noticed move, federal officials this month have declared a series of public health emergencies relating to potential weapons of biological terror.
On Oct. 1, Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt declared an anthrax public health emergency. On Oct. 10, he declared health emergencies for smallpox, radiation sickness from the detonation of a nuclear device and poisoning from botulinum toxins, the active ingredient of Botox.’

uh, it was a joke big fella
Spekin’ of right wing radio pricks, who was that guy I saw on C-Span the other night (re-run) with Brian Lamb. Anybody know who i’m talking about? Looks like Jobba te Hutt? keeps getting wider and wider the further down you go. Kinda shaped like a bell. Except not solid.
Breaking Onion News: John McCain was accidentally left overnight in his campaign bus. Rumors that Sarah Palin was also with him are totally unfounded.
Palin is used to fresh moose sausage for breakfast with biscuits and gravy.
House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform to Hold Hearing on the Credit Rating Agencies and the Financial Crisis 10 am et, CSPAN
Opps, my #62 was meant for you.. Sticky fingers on keyboard.
She is one stylin’ Alaskan she is! Knowing how she is, though, I bet she has had Eskimos begging for food at her door and she refuses to feed them. Spit. She’s comes across as that kind of person.
Okay, going to work. Have a good day everyone.
Hysterical!

I always wonder why church ladies dress like hookers on sunday?
Yeah, right.
That’s it!!!!!! he may be the worst one I’ve ever seen. Total, complete 100% asshole. Can’t recall the last time I’ve seen someone so full of himself, that is to say so full of shit.
MSOS, or moose-shit-on-a-shingle. Slightly gamier tasting than SOS.
OT Stevens trial going to jury today? Yesterday was spent in closing arguments – must have been a blizzard of words in that courtroom>
that’s why i went back to church. I had no idea.
do you have a link for that? I was just over at Time and couldn’t find it.
This is part of the email I got from Mike Fox, an amazing guy who’s learned how to organize during his time with Samm Simpson’s 2 campaigns. He’s also another of those long-haired DFH’s.
It’s not smart to fuck with DFH’s.
would be a great diary series, SD — just sayin’
McCain doesn’t wear makeup. Like Tom Brokaw, they hang him by his ankles and dip him into a vat of wax. Republicans like the look.
filthy DFH lucre buys TV ad – for Bachman’s opponent
I’ll take notes between struggles with the man. *g*
ROFL
Palin wasn’t with him. She’s the one that had him locked in.
agreed!
don’t click on the pic
This is “income redistribution” Rethuglican-style. And when the Rethugs donate the clothes later? Why it’s their trickle-down theory in practice!
Meanwhile, Bachman says believe me not your lying eyes and ears.
these kidz have been liveblogging it
bridge to justice
The only reason the MSM is spinning that Palin story is to protect dis-honorable McCain because his 8500 plus in a make-up job would spoil his image.
Real democracy in action. Brokow, Couric, et al, should be taking notes. They might learn something.
H.L. Mencken said something to the effect that “you can’t expect a person to know something when their paycheck is dependent on them not knowing” or something close to that.
democracynow will do a 5 hour broadcast on Nov 4 from 7pm to midnight.
It wasn’t posted to their blackberrys while they were shopping
Oh, Amy, thank you, thank you, thank you. Now I don’t have to watch/listen to those brain dead fucks on the networks.
The Republicans are into damage control saying that Palin’s new wardrobe will be donated to charity after the campaign. I suppose that’s somewhat better than saying that the closes will be available to anyone in need after the Rapture.
Yes, what a relief. Something intelligent to watch the returns on for a change.
Off to swim in the great capitalist/fascist cesspool. (Seein’s how I’m bailing early to cause heartburn and stress for the powers that be in St Pete)
Be good to yourselves, and all other living things.
Namaste

Grover Norquist Beats Off The Blues
Have a good one SD. I’ll be swimming in the academic cesspool shortly.
well, we’re with you in spirit!
buenos suerte
OK, really don’t care so much about the clothing issue; only it gives me a chance to renew my tired joke (that Mrs. pastfedup is tired of hearing) -
“Now we know how she could afford to purchase all those Achilles heels, that she refused to talk about in the debate.”
Seriously, I wouldn’t want to be the recipient of any of her clothing when she gives it to ‘charity.’ It would be like putting on something that was worn by a snail; slimy. (my apologies to snails).
I feel a lot better re:the Palin wardrobe story.
Courtney Hazlett, the entertainment reporter, just explained it all to me on MSNBC.
First of all, she said “I can wrap my brain around this.”
(insert your own joke here)
Then she goes on to say that ABC’s wardrobe guidelines allow $4200 per prime time show for female characters, so “do the math”, it’s the equivalent of 29 prime time shows.
See, no problem!
I would’ve loved to read her dispatches from ancient Rome while standing next to Nero.
and it’s not as if they can spin it to say she needed them all for interviews or other media related appearances – teehee
“as the flames spread throughout the city creating a golden glow over the Senate Nero was resplendent in his gold brocade linen toga. Rome hasn’t seen such a sense of style in a generation.”
On Palin’s wardrobe…
Is McCain taking public financing? Does that mean I helped pay for those clothes?
Oops… see Marcy already beat me to this.
Here is Palin the Pain happily smiling while visiting with the awful human Judge Robert Bork. They spent all that money after they made her promise not to wear this!
http://www.akfrw.com/photos_nationalreview.php
I guess FOX is going to be telling us about Michelle and Jill. Don’t think their clothes were paid for by the campaign. Hope not.
This ”Liberals hate America” meme has been going on for so long that it’s has become a bore. Republicans fail to realize that it no longer resonates with people. When the election is over, the Republican party is going to need to start all over again. They don’t know how to campaign unless they go negative. Right now, that won’t fly. Americans are more concerned about their futures than about who they should be hating.
