duh…

Nothing was known before the proposal…we do not do arranged marriages in this country. He had a choice, I heard.

wow.

But the funny thing is, we pretty much had all of this figured out.

Digg

Just imagine Senator Palin…! ;-)

ditto.

hey guys. a few things. how ’bout that election last night!!!!! great as it was, it sucked for gay people more than i can appreciate. been away a few days. watched a poll last night. FL has taken alot of shit-deservedly so-for its handling of elections. But last night I saw poll workers who were courteous, well-trained, helpful and efficient. there were no problems and we won. when Hillary was here with Barack–President Elect Barack- she said this county would be the battleground of the battleground. It was almost exactly tied in 2004. Obama won it by 59-40 last night. just a greart night.

… and she was the best choice for Veep ?

NO !

… sorry …

hush yo mouth!

for ctuttle @ 6

It was great, I cried multiple times throughout the night.

Did you ever think you would see one make Dan Quayle look sharp?

She can’t name the only three countries in North America?
I knew she was short on knowledge, but this is ridiculous.

LOL !!! Nope !

… and she was the best choice for Veep ?

In all honesty, she doesn’t seem to be any more stupid than our current president.

I did figure that it was directed at me, M’dear…! ;-)

We’re surrounded by extremely smart Americans here … most of your countrymen don’t know
that there are 3 countries in North America.

McCain’s goons are giving Palin the Nancy Kerrigan special…….How soon before Palin cries “Why me?”

-G

I see you’ve left the Nader thread!

Obama said, “-these guys take pride in being ignorant,” and Sarah must have been proudest of all.

Doesn’t Cuba count?

Hiya EDP !

I don’t think Dubya is stupid, I do think he is very greedy and wildly over estimates his abilities …

The tidbits that have been coming out today about Flailin’ have been making me grin. I especially loved the “Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus” one ;-)

The McC people are going to shred her and it’s delightful to see.

Seems the hit is out from the BigMoney wing of the Repub party. Carl Cameron is always their willing tool. This “reporter” has been caught several times over the years, and just recently again, of completely making up quotes from people, like this:
http://mediamatters.org/items/200410040006

So I wouldn’t give much credence to what he’s saying, but of course it doesn’t really matter if it’s true or not, since he’s helping with Nailin Paylin.

O Riley is throwing her under the bus on the factor right now.

Just cruising to see what the bozo is sayng…

Way under the bus.

Put a fork in her she is officially done.

oh I don’t know. I think as stupid
as she evidently is, Senator inhofe is
dumber… heck, Senator Toobz as well

Here in the liberal anti-Heartland we call it Cuber.

-G

There’s a dated reference. Poor Tanya, done in by a sneaky husband and a treacherous shoelace.

*g*
true. if it was directed at palin, it would have been a bit more colourful

I even speedread the Plumber thread while I watch a rerun of Bill Maher … Amy Hudson is on !

how does she not know africa is a continent composed of countries? did she think egypt was a state? or ivory coast was a county? she makes stupid look bad

she makes stupid look bad good.

no fee

It is sad for Sarah that it is the exception, rather than the rule, when she unleashes a coherent sentence.

OMG … Amy Hudson just said that Barack Obama created Joe The Plumber !

did she think egypt was a state

She thought e-gypt was a Web site for who have been recently ripped off.

In regards to Senator Toobz, it’ll be his soon to be vacated seat she’ll be occupying…! Think about it, if the Alaskans are dumb enough…

If she was really smart, she’d be a Democrat …

We can at least depend on her to keep an eye on Russia for us s/

She would also have stayed in Alaska….

Unfortunately, not their call…

mccain will never say it (and will leave it to his others to do so in his stead) but i firmly have believed that one of the main reasons she was picked was because she did not know she was the designated fall guy – leaves st john the torturer ‘clean’ because it was her fault and has the additional benefit of blaming a woman.

how many years between geraldine ferraro’s veep run and sarah palin’s? i figure it will be a while before a woman runs again as veep.

…for THOSE who have…

Yup, if anything happens in the ass end of Siberia, she’s on it.

I mentioned this scenario in the last thread. If Senator Stevens is thrown out of the senate for his felony convictions, Palin, still governor for two more years, could resign her post and the lieutenant governor would become governor and could appoint Palin to serve out his full term in the U.S. Senate. We may not be totally rid of her yet.

I almost think they should not have the right to do that, as if they provide the warranty, etc. Dance with the one you brung….hang her around the Repub necks. Of course McOld chose her, but there were lots singing of her charms. They fell in love; very unbecoming. Hannity , Ingraham all saying how ready she is, just mis-handled, smart. It’s their judgement too. Makes me quiver from scary inside.

Better to be a big fish in a little pond….figuratively speaking of course.

We might be over thinking this. Perhaps we should ask if she knows what a “continent” is. Hint: not a luxury car without an “al”.

A special election will be called if Stevens wins the seat and is subsequently thrown out of the Senate… You don’t think she’ll not seize the opportunity…?

The powers that be are working overtime to deep six Palin’s Senate Installation. Maybe Maverick McCain is working these FOX News Bobblehead levers. He doesn’t want to see Sarah the Pariah anymore, especially sitting next to him in the cafeteria.

McCain has now returned to the consoling arms of his boyfriend Lindsey Graham.

Hannity is so full of crap! I seriously think he is my least favorite person in the world! Sarah Palin is seriously an idiot, even in the last interview she did, she was incapable of stringing together a coherent sentence. It’s embarrassing. No amount of coaching or practicing will fix her.

Great, she’ll have something to wear.

They’re mandated to hold a special election for the seat…

Yuppers-it’ll be Prez or nothing.

I think that both McCain & Palin were fall guys for Rove and that we’ll see a female Veep in 2016.

thanks, i’m running on empty

lol

Not the “people’s” choice, eh?

One Lt Gov.

Oops! 55 was reply to 43. Sorry.

Michelle Malkin for Veep.

yes, a clever trojan launched into the unsuspecting McCain campaign to take down his candidacy

Sometimes, I make stupid look good.

;~P

Now there is a much better choice!

Hiya Pups!
Great day for me at work — everyone in tears. Sure is nice to work in a Dem environment.

FWIW, Maddow says its the way Marshen says it is.

You left off the snark tag…! ;-)

That’s good, but she is still very popular in Alaska. I must have heard my story wrong or missed some of the information on the whole story about that.

Do you beleieve the damn Phillies won the World Series? The Sox/rays series was fun to watch though. Remember, I’m the Angels fan?

707!

Hey Christine! It was a great day wasn’t it…

Oops, color me embarrassed….

Hi Christine !

My girls said everyone was high fivin’ at school today … they were all cheering for Obama !

Jindall/Malkin 2012

An Alaskan attorney told me that they’re required to have a special election to fill the seat…

Bachmann/Schmidt ‘12… Kitty Harris as FEC head

I stand corrected… thought it would be a Governor appt. Special election, I don’t think she has the stones to go there… and give up “all that”, what with all the per-diem and perks and shit…

boa noite, pups

i’m exhausted. peaceful rest to you all

Peace and sweet dreams wobblybits.

McCain is putting the Straight Talk Express to handy use. Rolling it back and forth over the flagging career of Sarah Palin.

-G

If god directs Bachmann to run for President she will.

Batshit/Crazy 2012 !

…she is still very popular in Alaska.

That is why I’m very concerned about it… Begich faces stiff competition, again…! :-(

Is this an attempt at irony?

She can’t name the only three countries in North America?
I knew she was short on knowledge, but this is ridiculous.

There are 23 countries in North America.

‘nite, wobbs

I’m toast, too.

zzzzz

Christine, I misplaced your e-mail address. I write things down on bits of paper and somehow I lost it. Could I get it again? Thanks!

Palin for Secretary of State…if she can figure out what “state” means in that context…no, Sarah, it won’t involve a lot of junkets to Florida or Hawaii

Aloha, wobbs!

Not if there is a loving god he won’t.

Aloha, DB!

Maddow may need to check her information. Maybe tomorrow she will get it straight.

I heard law was changed after Gov. Murkowski appointed his daughter Lisa to senate.

Rachel does have chicken-little tendencies sometimes. There have been many times hearing her on Air America where she’d get me all worried about something and it ’twas nuthin.

By the way, just noticed an MSNBC full page ad recently in the NYT, and it featured huge Rachel and Kieth heads followed by a Tweety in the distance. Damn, we’ve come a long way in a few years on so many fronts. And to think we’re just getting warmed up!

Mahalo

LOL!

depends on whose saying and if we at talking geography or political. Central Americans don’t want to be considered North Americans.

That was exactly what Big Mitch cited as the reason…!

Bachmann sez that god told her to go to law school. Then he told her to run for congress. Then he told her to suggest testing Democrats for Patriotism. Etc.

Doesn’t the devil sometimes pretend to be god?

Nader/Ferarro 2012!

They’ll mop up with David Duke voters.

Nor the Caribbean nations…!

98 was in response to 97.

It was! My computer went nuts here just a moment ago and I had to reboot. My email: cedmonson at clevelandart dot org

Thanks. I cried last night and then again today. It is so hard to believe that we can believe again!

Don’t you LOVE that children are involved! Even having adult children call me, and sort of, weep?

If a stranger on the sidewalk told you that god directed him to speak to you, you would question his sanity. Bachmann and Dubya say this kind of shit all the time. I think they are kooky or lying or both.

(Dubya said that god told him to kill Saddam.)

I’m a bit surprised that this is coming from Fox News, to be honest. Yes, I understand how they would be the logical ones to feed the story to, since they’re the most reliable repeater of Republican talking points. But I would’ve thought that their head of propaganda would’ve said, “Whoa! Our audience LOVES her. Why don’t we just give her a pass on this?”

Did you see the children celebrating at Barack’s old school in Indonesia? It was so sweet.

Someone told my younger one that BO was part Muslim and she replied, “So ?”

The Kid’s getting 2 scoops of Ice Cream on Friday !

I think they are both liars and kooks.

He also said that God wanted him to be POTUS … guess we finally figured out Cheney’s call signal !

And I cried there, too!

Thanks for the clip Attaturk. McCain’s pals at Fox certainly did his bidding and stuck it to Palin big time. Palin may be history but the ultra right has a new model for candidates and the next sassy little vixen they roll out will be lots smarter and much more highly trained.

I hope with whip cream, sprinkles and a cherry on top!

Oh, is there a promise here? Two scoops, you are the dad.

THE DAD.

People all around the world were celebrating, what a wonderful thing!

Caramel too !

WAG, there is apparently a new plan in place to crash the Palin. Comes thru Murdoch himself. The bobbleheads are following orders.

umm caramel is a good thing.

And his paternal Grandmother’s town in Kenya! ;-)

I meant yumm…

I am perfectly aware that there are lots of naysayers, but I’m jubilant. My French and British, German, Danish and New Zealand friends have sent kudos.

mean, stupid, and arrogant – the three abiding requirements for a rethug leader

Wasn’t that an amazing thing to see. It really filled my heart with joy, and I don’t care if I sound like a big ole cornball.

The naysayers should let us have a little joy for awhile and keep their naysaying to themselves, at least for a couple of days, IMHO.

Cornballs Unite!

All for one, and one for all!

Watching his half brother get carried around in a “victory lap” was priceless …

I’d say she gets to keep the clothes. Bygones. Don’t call us, we’ll call you, Sarah Palin.

Remember how they railroaded Katherine Harris. She delivered the election to Dubya with all the deceitful trickery she could muster. When she ran for Congress, they ran the bus over her. (She must have accepted a consolation prize for her silence.)

… or they had some explosive news on her …

I think that’s going to backfire on them. The ignorant moron vote is the core of the GOP’s support, and she’s their current standard bearer. They gain nothing by taking potshots at her. In fact, it makes them look even worse, because now they’re all saying that she was both dangerously ignorant and completely uncontrollable, and they were STILL trying to get her one 72-year-old heartbeat away from the nuclear launch codes.

If they’re going to get rid of her, they need to find a new champion, and they need to start saying things like, “I like Sarah Palin, but I LOVE such-and-such.”

I’ll bet. I will always be the lookout for my son and daughter.

Palin said too much.

I agree, the treatment of both Palin and Harris is testimony to the esteem repugs have for women. The kleenex analogy comes to mind.

Bye Sara,
we hardly knew you…

You present a mighty fine argument. This is very true.

Because it’s not about ratings or profits for Ruturd Murdoch. It’s strictly about advancing ideology onto the electorate so they keep voting against their own best interests, and for BigMoney’s interests. If they make a profit along the way, even better!

Pox lost several hundred million in their first 4-5 years of operation. It wasn’t until the 2000 election debacle that they started picking up, and the Iraq Invasion made them number 1 for a lot of time slots.

Like the Washington Times and other wingnut “news” outlets, they’ll get floated as long as it takes, even if that means forever.

I suspect Paylin isn’t being the good little soldier, and BigMoney wants nothing to do with that. I bet they’re a little freaked by Stevens and Young winning (in theory so far), and they realize Alaska is tough to control, so they’re probably terrified that she could end up a Senator. Hence, they’re gonna try to tar her so good that she won’t be elected Senator even if that opportunity comes along.

RIP.

women they can toss under the bus when they are done with them with nary a thought.

Naw….the plutocrats run through humans like chattel….Once they were don with Harris they treated her like a pariah…

Her campaign was left swinging in the wind and she was ignored and ridiculed…..

The GOP is now in the process of tearing itself asunder…..as with the election, they don’t know what to do anymore…….So they do what they do best, attack and destroy….the parasite has begun eating the host….

More butter for the popcorn please.

-G

I must say that it is alright with me.

Couldn’t happen to nicer people…

They could start with Peggy Noonan..

ok. dumb question. If Fox had discovered such damning info on the Obama campaign, would they have kept it “off the record” like they did with this information on their own party’s ticket? And if the answer is ‘no’, why should we assume that this info is any more credible than any other lie they ever told? This is just another official rethug propaganda production now that the official corporatist/fiscalist talking point is to throw Mommy Palin under the bus (which she deserves of course.. I’m not defending her) for Insane’s own failings as a candidate.

Suzanne,
I thought about this the moment they picked her. Use her, exploit her good looks, hope she makes the Republicans look “maverick” and when they don’t win, toss her on the dustbin. Sheesh.

Oh yea, me too. They’re slow to adapt, but the smart ones in their ranks are probably coming up with re-tooling plans right now. Ones like Frank Luntz realize the old tricks don’t work now and they’re going to have to adapt. It’ll take them a few years to get ll the troops in line with the new strategies.

This is why we need to get our New Media and our new organizing structures much bigger and more solid. They’ll be back sooner or later.

they can blame her and take out the theo-cons and a whole buncha others in one fell swoop.

‘we tried it running with a woman…’
‘we tried it running with a fundy…’
‘we tried it running with someone from out of the beltway…’

lotsa birds with one pick

This public hanging of Palin is Rupert’s way of reminding everyone who’s in charge.

That they will. However, I think maybe they are on to the fact that the “new” electorate that swept Obama into office isn’t so easily duped. Ugly tactics didn’t work this time, maybe they will actually have to have something of substance to offer. I don’t know which is scarier….

McCain is back with Lindsey. They don’t want to play with Sarah anymore. Lindsey never wanted to play with her anyway.

Yeah, but she had to travel through one of them to get to Seattle. Surprised she didn’t talk about her foreign experience flying over Canada. Unless, of course, she thought British Columbia was just the 51st US state.

Rupert is an old bastard, with any luck…….

Palin did indeed tout Canada as one of her foreign policy experiences.

Canada, Ireland’s airport, and seeing Putin’s rearing head from across the straits.

When she started talking about Putin rearing his head I almost died from laughter and embarrassement.

Murdoch and Cheeney will cheat the Grim Reaper by having their heads fused to robotic bodies by Halliburton Oil Services Company.

Didn’t quite get the phrasing the way she had hoped. Determined to use “Putin rears his head” she forged ahead with that clusterfuck of a statement. It was laughable and embarrassing as you say.

You don’t need the Farmers Almanac to forecast a cold winter in Alaska… at least for Sarah and the first dood.

I was going to say ROTFL, but on second thought, creepy and scary, because it isn’t beyond the realm of possiblity.

Extra! is doing a flattering Palin Mini Bio commercial.

Exactly, but that is really the bottom line, she is so inarticulate when she isn’t reading a teleprompter. There is an old joke, “I may be fat, but you’re stupid, and I can diet.”
Disclaimer, the “I” is not me.

Eureka Springs upstairs!
Late Late Nite FDL: Progressive Mood Swings

Anyone got news of the Michele campaign??

Michele Bachmann, I mean…

I heard it announced last night that she won. I don’t know if anything happened since then to change that.

Even if I’m being generous and limiting consideration to just “Northern” America, you’ve still got Greenland, Bermuda, etc.

There’s no accepted calculus that concludes that North America contains only-three countries that I’m aware of, outside of the sanctimonious irony of FDL commenters of course. :-)
