At least we know who the enemy is now.

I just coined a new term and I think it fits well.

Fooktardians.

She are one.

Holy crap, Cap’n Kirk!
Was that even English? WTF? They teach Sunday School in Tongues in her church?

FunnyDiva

Mwahaha!

yes, her be a fooktardian.

Sarah is a native English speaker?

A colleague at work said “She’s not stupid; she’s completely in over her head, but she’s not stupid.” I said, “That’s reflexive bar-lowering. Show me one thing that she’s said since she got picked as running mate that isn’t stupid. One.” He thought for a while. Nothing.

Hell, at this point I ask for one fucking complete sentence. That’s all I ask before her 15 minutes are up. One complete sentence. Beginning, middle, end.

I’m not going to get it, am I?

I prefer Romulan Ale m’self … what does Sarah drink ?

The enemy, for Sarah, is the English language.

And, of course, San Francisco, always handy when you need to question your opponent’s, what, Sarah — patriotism? heterosexuality? meat-eatingness?

The woman needs some Immodium for her running-at-the-mouth afflicition.
Bleah!
FunnyDiva
Yes, I use decent grammar and spelling. Elitist and proud of it!

Jesus Juice.

Not unless she says, “I quit”.

Even she should be able to spit out two words consecutively.

Kool-aid, of course.
X-tra Right Strength.

Real Klingons speak better English than Sarah. I wonder if Lou Dobbs or Glen Beck will ask that Sarah prove her Citizenship?

the cling-ons, all of us, I guess…

“Captain Kirk to the Bridge, Captain Kirk, to the Bridge immediately!!”

“Phasers set on stun…er no, redundant, transport – send her back to Alaska!”

No one would take you up on that bet!

Well, she _thinks_ it’s J’sus juice. I think a bunch of his more authentic followers might beg to differ!

FunnyD

“Real” Klingons read Shakespeare; Sarah Palin wants to ban Shakespeare.

Please make the stupid stop.

Sarah is from the Meth Capital of Alaska

Digg is no open for all the Klingons here at the Lake! Get you Star Trek approved Auto Shovels a Digging for this great Post from Blue Texan!!

Well, she’s smarter than Britney*.

Audette finally resorted to stating, “I loved the documentary they made on your life. You know, Hustler’s Nailin Palin.” But even then, Palin’s only response was a cheery, “Oh, good, thank you, yes.” At that point, Audette gave up and told her she’d been pranked.

“There are only two people that we’ve pranked that never caught on that it was a joke and that we had to explain it to them at the end — Sarah Palin and Britney Spears,” marveled Trudel. “And Brittany Spears could not ever be president of the United States, but Sarah Palin could.”

*Okay, maybe not.

“We must win,” she said, “because Ohio, the far-left wing of the Democrat Party, not mainstream Democrat ideology, the values, the planks in the platform of the Democrat Party. It’s the far-left wing of the party is getting ready to take over the entire federal government.”

I didn’t know the Dems had a far-left. Now if a progressive wing of the Dem party were taking over, that would be something. But right now that seems a pipe dream. Poor Sarah, if she fears the moderate Democrat running for office, then she must be looking over her shoulder all the time thinking average americans are commie body snatchers.

Taking meth and speaking in tongues makes things both noisy and confusing.

I don’t suppose Sarah is doing anymore last minute speeches or press interviews before voting starts cause I think that she can really turn out the vote…for Obama.

Of course, Johnny Mac was hoping all along she was a Ferengi. They don’t clothe their wimmen, doncha know.

Some would say those elitist little conventions help us understand one another so we don’t sound like this:

“Of course, it’s a fungible commodity and they don’t flag, you know, the molecules, where it’s going and where it’s not. But in the sense of the Congress today, they know that there are very, very hungry domestic markets that need that oil first. So, I believe that what Congress is going to do, also, is not to allow the export bans to such a degree that it’s Americans who get stuck holding the bag without the energy source that is produced here, pumped here. It’s got to flow into our domestic markets first.”

Can we tell the difference between those two states of being and Sarah just being Sarah?
Maybe Sarah needs some ESL classes (English as a second Language)

LMAO

Does claiming to be a “cling-on” make McCain/Palin the dingleberry ticket?

Why did the “Early Show” have Michigan red on their map this morning.Obama has a huge lead here.

Not to mention…what is “left” these days?

Deficit spending? Nope. Interventionist wars? Nope. Government control of private industries? Nope.

you said it! Makes me think of the pic I saw of a homeade Mccain/Palin sign that read:

Geezer/Dingbat

Did Sarah say that? Or Bush? I can’t figure out what was said maybe petrochemicals cause learning disabilities?

Far left means “redistributin’ the wealth,” IOW, requiring the rich to pay any taxes at all.

She managed to use the pejorative Democrat form 3 times in a single sentence. I like the last snippet too where she manages to work in God, guns, and gays. When the Republicans are reduced to this, it isn’t about exhaustion. It’s about intellectual and spiritual bankruptcy.

Did anybody bother to point out that the secret tape is actually a few snips of old explanations of cap & trade, which is a policy that Obama & McCain agree on?

Not in the audience, of course, but darn, reporters are lazy.

I’m so tired of reading whetever language it is this woman speaks. I try to translate it to American English but it’s making my brain hurt.

LOL!

She is just one babbling, wandering talking point.

I suppose Sarah won’t say if she will pay less taxes under the Obama plan?

Same here poor front pagers they have to read this stuff all the time.

Based on her financial disclosures, the Palins would receive a tax cut under the Obama plan. It should be noted however that she hadn’t received all of her per diem yet…

Well, whadday know – CNN at the bottom of a story – actually reported the stuff accurately.

http://politicalticker.blogs.c…..-comments/

Lovely to see the comments getting savage.

Here is the link if you want to see the sign

I just realized this might be the last time that I will have a chance to put up my Palin file. So here goes one last time:

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. The Troopergate report when it came out found that Palin had abused her authority in seeking to get Wooten fired.
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

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

39. The Republican Party coughed up a $150,000 in clothes and makeup to merchandize Palin’s Vice Presidential campaign
40. As governor, she appointed 16 contributors who gave between $2,000 and $5,600 to state posts
41. Managed to go her entire Vice Presidential campaign without holding a press conference (or open press access to her) or releasing her health records

oops here it is

And she won’t release her medical records…hiding something, no doubt.

1. In re. D takeover of entire USG: Project much, Sarah?

2. In re. not being able to muster a proper sentence: All languages’ inherent structure imposes stuff like causality, reason, agency, etc. onto the speaker’s model of world. A person who rejects such a model of why and how things happen in the world — for example, a supernatural-oriented person — will have trouble with the framing that proper language brings, and may go so far as to avoid using proper language as a coping or avoidance mechanism, a way of never having to come face-to-face with that contradiction.

As far as I’m concerned, she can take her medical records, her straight talk-babble, Taaahhhd, and the kiddies and head on back home. I don’t ever care to see her face, hear her voice or name eveh again

…because it’s like I heard on Fox News today…

I thought she didn’t use filters but instead relied on direct communication. Maybe she doesn’t know what unfiltered means either.

Per TPM: From Palin Rally

Palin: Dems think “terrorists” are the “good guys.” She phrases it as a question. But pretty much straight out.

Elect the POW or the terrorist sympathizer!!!

I hope that’s what happens!

I will get a sign like that if Palin runs in 4 years.

oooh so will I!!!

doonesbury poll

Wasn’t Sarah suppose to release her medical records? I think she is the first VP ever not to, if she runs again those rumors about her not being pregnant will come up again.

Palin: Last of a breed

…Sarah showed up for a culture war just as it is ending

Please make the stupid stop.

Well we can’t stop it for good, but we can get a well-deserved reprieve by voting tomorrow (most of you maybe already voted) and making sure everyone you can find who might vote for Obama makes it to the polls.

I have often wondered who is nursing that youngest Palin child.

Cat?

Sarah showed up for a culture war just as it is ending

Palin’s pale end, so to speak?

seems a little to soon to declare the end of the culture wars. another terrorist attack like 911 or a bad recession you don’t think there will be a reactionary backlash?

Is Palin giving us a real live demo of what it sounds like to encounter someone walking off the pages of Ulysses? Or is there a difference I should know about?

Bob in HI

OMG! The Klingon ‘08 ticket is absolutely a perfect pairing. SNL couldn’t have written it any better. Saw Chevy Chase on CNN this a.m. He had a difficult time not laughing incessantly over the comedic potential of these two crazies. :)

I have often wondered who is nursing that youngest Palin child.

What is ridiculous is how she is portrayed now as some kind of an expert on special needs children. The kid is all of 6 months old and Palin has been running for VP for two of those months.

We have to do something about our education system in the 50 states. We need to make it teach kids important things that will help them later in life. It seems far too many are getting through the system without learning the difference between fact and fiction.
But then, we would have to get rid of churches, government, television, and the list goes on.
The governor, and no one can believe that the bulb that has gone out could have been elected in the first place, has no apparent education in anything except shopping for clothes.
Why is stupid so embraceable to so many?

Speaking of signs, you might be interested in seeing these: http://thinkprogress.org/2008/11/03/mccain-spell/

Ewwww…there’s a tribble in my Kool-Aid.

To partly answer my own question @63, I guess stream of consciousness as used by James Joyce was supposed to be an “interior” monologue, but in Palin, its right out there in the transcripts. Is this life imitating art?

Bob in HI

In Klingon,

Ba RAK! Oh ba MA!

means

I redistribute your wealth! To pay for gay abortions!

Coincidence? I think not!

Heather Wilson has been baptized in the R Kool-Aid. She has that far-away look in her eye and the Stepford smile…minus the good looks.

The difference between real change and spare change.

We need to make it teach kids important things that will help them later in life. It seems far too many are getting through the system without learning the difference between fact and fiction.

This is actually a very important issue. One important variant of it is this: In this Age of the Internet, how do you evaluate sources and the stuff you read on the Internet? Most of the people who quote stuff have no idea.

Bob in HI

707!

Is Sarah doing the proofreading on McCain’s ads?

Oh, man. I read HotFlash’s #59, and then your #60, thinking it was a response to #59.

generational and demographic shift/overall tendancy, not immune to unfolding events

that’s the trouble with tribbles.

Your comment reminded me that Sarah is home schooling her kids now. I hope Todd teaches them English.
Its hard to believe that Sarah got a B.A

that’s the trouble with tribbles.

Classic case of tribble down economics.

Nope

I still think Chris Berkley got it best. To paraphrase Reagan, the Republican base isn’t leaving the Republican Party, the Republican Party is leaving them. The Republican remnants are not going to be able to effectively campaign as Reagan’s heirs if Obama’s policies are more solidly Regan American than what the Bush 43 administration has been doing these last eight years. If Obama rules as strong but not brash on security and responsible on economics, we’ll see a return to the Republican party of the FDR years, sipping tea, and cussing out ‘That Man in the White House.’

Goldwater and the elder Berkely created a new conservative movement, fighting the excesses of Democratic rule in their time, and pushing the John Birch society out of the core of the conservative movement. Bush 43 and McCain seem determined to reverse that. It is now the excesses of Bush 43 that must be turned around. It might take the Democrats being in power long enough to get excessive themselves to allow the Republicans back into the game.

Not that I haven’t a reasonable faith that the Democrats can avoid getting excessive themselves, again.

In the meanwhile, the Democrats might do well to take on some of Reagan’s attributes, themselves.

well, since you asked:

smooth sailin’: I’m hailin’ Palin’s scalin’ the heights of failin’, trailin’, soon to be bailin’ and railin’ and wailin’, tail in between the leggin’s due to mail-in weigh-ins, nail in the coffin. What’s next: jailin’? can we bring Dan Quayle in?

I question whether it was a B.A. Now B.S., I can believe

OT: Michelle Obama speaking now In Las Vegas

Now there is a woman who has mastered the english language

I wonder what her grades were in English and Speech?

http://www.washingtonmonthly.c…..014785.php
for your perusal. A palin kernal of wisdom.
BTW. Just talked to someone in um. . .a Chinese speaking country. Noone cares about McCain anymore there. Obama’s win is considered a sure thing.

Elitist.

And she majored in Journalism!
My God how can only 50% of this country think she is unfit to be VP?????

Republicans want us to be stupid so we don’t question when they rob us blind and take away our freedoms!!!

Another claim of Palin expertise supported only by propinquity.

lol

Oww! Trying to follow what Sarah says even when its explained hurts my head.
I think it was T-Rex who said it best

The Stupid it Burns!

Teh stupid!

Boy is she a cling-on. And her sidekick is a dingleberry.

Shouldn’t the Dept of Children and Family services stop Sarah from home schooling her kids?
Or can any parent regardless of education or ability as a teacher home school their kids?
I am kind of doubting that Sarah is qualified to teach grade school.

Sorry I always forget how to spell Teh

Her star is palin’.

Is this the same San Francisco where Obama distanced himself from Gavin Newsom over gay marriage?

She puncuates using “ya knows”, “there ya goes”, etc. rather than using pauses like humans do.

Sarah will soon be the leader of the republican party if the idiozos have their way—-will be interesting to see if the balance of the party fights for it or just shakes their heads and walks away from the train wreck.

That is a good observation Sarah does talk with different rules than humans do.

Did you see the high school senior who introduced her? I had real tears. I hope a YouTube of her intro gets posted quickly.

I suggested to Mrs. Dr. BC that she might want to have her students diagram a Palin sentence in an attempt to extract meaning from it.

She told me that if I could produce a Sarah Palin sentence that she would, but that it is pointless to ask students to diagram a word salad.
