Over at Swampland, Anna Marie Cox is reporting that the Georgia Senate recount is so close, the Republicans are calling in the pitbulls:
Am told by a Dem operative working on the Georgia congressional race recount that the GOP is so serious about trying to preserve Chambliss’s seat they’re bringing in Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney. Because that worked out so well last time.
What, is Sarah Palin going to do the Dance of the Seven Veils (or towels) for the crowds? Is she going to assert that Jim Martin is BFFs with Khalid Sheik Mohammed? That he forged his own birth certificate? That he’s not a resident of "Real America"?
Maybe she can wow the audience with her enviable command of geography.
Jeebus, talk about short term memory loss. This is the person who cost McCain the Presidency, remember?
And besides, I’m not entirely sure what purpose it serves to have Romney and Palin in Georgia. Are they going to somehow magically change the number of ballots cast? Are the two of them so charismatic that they can change the polarity of the Earth’s magnetic fields or something?
Doofuses.

Maybe they can use the same personal stylist to save money this time?
But I still thought there were about 50,000 early ballots still uncounted from Atlanta. Why are they even talking about a run-off when Jim Martin could win the election outright!
I hope someone is keeping track of Anna Marie Cox’s diary on this issue. /s
It’s obvious they want Sarah Palin there in case Georgia gets invaded by Russia again.
Well this vote recounting is a very anal retentive process and who better to report on that than Ana Marie Cox?
“Gee, I thought it would look a lot worse down here after the Russians attacked it.”
–Sarah Palin
actually isn’t there some connection now between the two ? believe some of her staffers were former Romney staffers, right ?
Come on now. These are Republicans and this is Georgia. You are lucky to be talking double digit IQs here.
eggsellent !
Down, down, Saxby go down….
You assume facts not in evidence.
The Palin’s don’t do anything for nothing. Look at the manner in which they bilked Alaskans for bogus state travel and lodging expenses (for the entire family) even while they stayed home. Then there’s the house they had built concurrent with the
HockeyHickey Rink.Digg it Pups!!
And how am I supposed to sleep now
Not assuming anything, just setting the upper parameters.
Hey, don’t be dissin’ anal retentives………..I resemble that tribe. ;-)
Lynn Westmoreland can count to ten.

The information must have gotten garbled on the way to Cox or in transmission by her. The plan must be for the runoff, not a recount. If Chambliss is under 50%, there’s a runoff, I think on December 2. It would make sense to send somebody there for that.
Maybe the RNC can get Palin to bring the clothes and stuff with her to save a trip.
You funny.
“And Sarah – leave the kids, and that nice boy who may or may not marry your daughter.”
That’s nice, but I was only showing him one finger.
The McCain idiocy continues.
Ever dagger aimed at Palin comes flying back at McCain’s appalling judgement and ongoing deception by claiming that Palin was a good choice.
McCain is going to suck up to Obama in order to revivify his tattered image.
Funny stuff.
-G
You are right, of course. And Obama will let him.
Chambliss is the most odious person in the country to slime someone like Max is just beyond the pale. Max is more of a patriot than this piece of shit Chambliss. I sure hope he goes the way of so many Rethuglians and finds he way to the garbage heap of history. The fucking gall of him questioning some one like Veteran who gave so much for his country. Max was also one of the Veterans best friends in the Senate while Chambliss has voted time after time against Veteran benefits!!
Yes, but so were 1000 more of us. He only got to 10.
That’s a great tv commercial script for Fartin Martin. I wonder if he had one like that. That would get him the votes in a runoff.
the best part of the link to swampland was someone calling palin
‘bible spice’
Turns out that Sarah Palin CAN’T see Russia from her house- she’s seein Steven’s house that houses the vibrator chair.
ah, I missed that on the first read. Yes, a runoff, not a recount. That has been confirmed. Please help Anna Marie Cox find her diary /s.
Okay, that was funny..
Westmoreland is the idiot who wants the ten commandments displayed, but can’t name them. Having a safe seat in a redneck district, Lynn was the designated Sleazebucket to call Obama uppity.
Yeah, ex-Senator Macaca was booked that day.
Sarah and Mitt are obviously going to Georgia because there’s going to be a beauty contest to see which is prettier. Mitt believes that he can win, of course.
He’s a shoo-in for the Magic Underwear competition.
I would hate to trust ballots with Palin…how high can she count?
So, I wonder when Disney will come out with the movie The Sarah Palin Story.
how are they gonna meet with her and take inventory if she is in georgia? hmmm
point 2—she’s going to georgia after two and a half months of campaigning and yanking her kids around instead of spending time getting them settled back in and resuming her governorship?
guess her pregnant teen-age daughter is just ‘handling it’ and doesn’t need her mother right now. hope she has good in laws to be.
i thought i hated mccain, i hate her more.
what a taker. what a fake.
he does have better hair yanno
Palin says that she’d be glad ta help- but she needs some airline tickets for the family and a half a mill for fresh underwear.
Yeah I know, but he still can’t count beyond ten.
he has a better colorist
If you know how to get it to him please do! I have no qualms of him using my words in fact I would feel privileged if he did!!
It’s a good thing that the runoff is in Georgia, so Jimmy Carter can monitor the election proceedings, like he does in all those undemocratic third world countries
my thoughts exactly….
been gone and haven’t checked your blog, you settled in yet?
oops, sorry, that was not a diary but a notebook. And, for those of you who have been around FDL for a while, my comment was a reference to a classic post by Trex.
Late Nite FDL: FOUND! The Lost Notebook of Ana Marie Cox
~~(Some of you may recall that the Time Magazine columnist formerly known as Wonkette lost her notebook at Yearly Kos. This document has in fact fallen into my hands. I can’t tell you exactly who the double super secret source [*cough* Jane Hamsher! *cough*] is who FedEx-ed this to me from Vegas on Sunday, but it’s, uh, quite a read. Some excerpts are below.)~~
Dugg, thanks for the link.
Thanks watertiger.
Since Brady Quinn campaigned for McSane in Ohio, without repercussions from the NFL, my guess is that the Dems could get a lot of NFL football players to show support for Martin.
Corrected.
sorry, link didn’t work

Rush Blimpaugh is leading the machete squads in the GOP purges…
Go Rush, go!
Sarah all the way!
-G
Oh, I remember this! Wow, I do miss him here.
Link to TRex’s post
Palin & Romney, huh ? Yeah, those two are great at accountability …
Local News….
Honeywell has shipped 1200 jobs to the Czech Republic….. Laying off 2000 local employees….
Arizona universities raising tuition 11-13%…….
But they are opening two brand new casinos…..
BTW…. I know the poll worker who made Dan Quayle vote on a provisional ballot… teehee….
Vegas mogul and rightwing sugar daddy Sheldon Adelson is going tits up.
Love to see the GOP-er money machine going bust….
Ruturd Murdoch is bleeding $ too…..
Love it.
-G
Apologies, missed your link. Great catch. LMAO reading TRex. I had missed it.
She’s getting pulled in all directions. McCain team running the bus over her as the RNC tries to get back the 200K in suits, but the RNC wants her to supervise a Georgia recount with Mitt. What’s a girl to do?
Thanks- you beat me to it. I really thought I got the link right the first time.
Geez, I am laughing again rereading this, and the comments. I didn’t remember that I had challenged TRex about “screwdriver” vs. “Screwdriver”.
A total blast from the past. LOL.
Watertiger,
Was that an original photo of Sarah Bernhardt? Queen of Paris theatre?
Good riddance to bad
rubbishWilkins … U.S. Ambassador says that Canadians will miss Bush more than they think… someone please show this to skdadl, Ishmael and the other Canucks …
You were right. They can be just as crazy up north.
Phoenix had it’s first newborn baby born yesterday named Barack …..
Canadians are glad to be rid of Bush. Wilkins is lying.

Belfast To Boston (God’s Rifle) lyrics
There are rifles buried in the countryside for the rising of the moon
May they lie there long forgotten till they rust away into the ground
Who will bend this ancient hatred, will the killing to an end
Who will swallow long injustice, take the devil for a country man
Who will say “this far no further, oh lord, if I die today”
Send no weapons no more money. Send no vengeance across the seas
Just the blessing of forgiveness for my new countryman and me
Missing brothers, martyred fellows, silent children in the ground
Could we but hear them could they not tell us
“Time to lay God’s rifle down”
Who will say this far no further, oh Lord, if I die today.
has everyone forgotten about ending the war/occupation?
i haven’t.
cool will be in touch as soon as i recover from the campaigning.
Wilkins: Many Canadians might be surprised by this statement.
Surprised ? … at your stupidity perhaps ? Nope, we knew you were plenty stupid !
Dear President Elect Obama, please send us someone nice … we’ve had enough of teh stoopit for this century !
and let’s not forget the indianapolis colts and their prayer convention.
i want him back.
It looks like somebody may have counted their eggs a bit too early and there may be another state still in play for Obama (in addition to Missouri). The late edition of the Omaha Herald is reporting that some 17,000 uncounted ballots in Nebraska’s 2nd congressional district are expected to breaking sharply for Obama going into Friday, which means it is looking like a split electoral delegation for the state. They say they won’t finish counting until next week, but it looks like the local rethugs have essentially given up. 365, baby.
Hey, I’m just catching up (some pretty awkward threads here Pups) yech. Hello to all, how is everyone here tonight?
One more electoral vote!
-g
Worse! Cabin fever and all…! ;-)
isn’t Maine the other state that splits by congressional districts?
did Obama carry all of theirs?
Nor have I…
add on to my last post—-
and the most recent photos from at gorillasguides.com are horrific and appalling. birth defects–remember we were all talking about exposure from the bomb casings and containers being used for water? it happened 9 months later.
and markfrom ireland wrote about the water problems and cholera that he predicted back earlier this year, although he humbly didn’t mention that he said it would happen.
http://oxdown.firedoglake.com/diary/1509
sorry don’t want to be a downer, but want it to be mentioned. and taken further.
listen to james again.. let’s fucking end it.
i mentioned earlier that my record of letters in one day was almost 300…i so want someone to beat my ass, outdo it, please……don’[t sit back and hope that our issues will be addressed..make sure they are articulated.and aim them directly.
use the ’spotlight’ program at the top, at the end of the post..can send ten at a time…….hit spotlight, choose ten recipients from tv radio or print, write a letter, delete the post in preview and send.
soapbox done.
back in black
rock out.
: )
BIG smooch.
we got all of em in Maine. Nebraska had not awarded any electoral votes to a Dem since ‘64 I think
Hiya Christine !
((( dmac )))
Yea, let’s do it.
forgot to say that my link at 65 is one of my favorite songsof all time.
makes me cry for the right reasons.
cleansing, like when i hear the dali lama.
Hiya Petro! I’m hi-fiving lots of fellow employees.
Yep on both and end that fucking war.
-G
Lots more smiling faces up here as well … Jan 20th is gonna see a huge party break out around the World !
Dig it.
James Taylor is great! I did meet the Dalai Lama once here in the Isles an awe inspiring man!
I’ve been invited to a friday night election victory party with my new roomies. :D I think i’ll wander over. I won’t be staying long because i have work at 9am in the morning, but it’ll be fun just to go!
That ones’ gonna be fun to go to, but i think the ones in january are going to be even bigger! I don’t doubt that it’ll be world wide, and i can’t wait to see it. XD
Here too! And at work, so many of us shaking hands and hugging, black and white. Wonderful!
petro and christine, yeah, babay, get on the train..it’s an easy ride when you use the spotlight function….
has direct links for news producers, directors, newswriters, hosts, editors, etc…..all by channel, category, newspaper, local, regional, national………
as you know, i had direct links into national radio shows, i gave that up and use spotlight instead.and calls to congress..not just my senators and reps..and i remind, sometimes calling the local offices gets your message through better than calling washington dc
I’d heard that Letterman quipped tonite; Would President Bush mind if Obama started a little early…? ;-)
Dave! Petro!
I’m so happy.
i missed the one election night, too worn out, and massaccio was here, darn it.masaccio wrote an oxdown about it, flew in from out of town to monitor things here in ohio..

Newt you have mail!!
W would likely jump at the chance CT but he be too scared to have to explain it to uncle Cheney Dickhead. ;~)
Is that your third exit…? ;-) Aloha, dmac!
late late nite upstairs
Ya know, there is a silver lining in this for W. His BFF is going to be allowed to come home from Poland.
Heh, it’d ruin any chance of a COG for Darth, eh? Howdy, NPB!
so kind of you to notice my habits, no, that was one, this is two…
nite, hitting the feathers.
make sure suzanne didn’t miss her james link. ‘kay?
good to be back. nite.
They’ll use Palin to divert everyone’s attention away from the counting, so Romney can throw votes away when no one is looking.
She may be coming just to drop off some clothes in a more upscale thrift shop.
Is anybody looking into the issues behind Georgia’s and Alaska’s election numbers NOT adding up?
