A few sharpies broiling in the Texas sun, selling tee shirts and other paraphernalia to each other. Fixed News’ teabagging Army Detachment Steiner came out in force.

But now that Barin’ SarahCuda has been unleashed (from her responsibilities as Governor if not her meds), their victory is truly assured.

Southfork apparently ended up with about 25,000. Supposedly they waited until it cooled down to come out. Plausible in Texas as it was around 100 degrees that day. I have noticed little coverage of the Tea Parties on the right wing blogs. One of my friends on Facebook has been going to those Tea Parties and I have seen nothing from her so far about how her gathering went. Only pre party stuff….The Anchor Baby streamed Dallas on her web page but I hadn’t seen any sort of billowing follow up since that night….

there are no photographs because it isn’t physically possible to photograph that many people at one time

that might sound like bullshit to most people, but the freepi bought it …

(wink)

Mornin Joe say he quit because of his son and his problems and he couldn’t tell anyone until later. Says no one really knows why Mrs Moose quit. Pat thinks it’s horrible what THEY have done to her kids. So there!

Mike thinks she has a plan!

Joe Scarborough’s lie this morning as to why HE quit years ago is what shot me out of bed this morning! I was like, “Say wha? You effing liar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”. ;-)

Attaturk, want to see a crazy t-shirt….crazy enough to make you spit out your coffee this morning? Here it is *putting on rain coat*!!!…

Ugh!!!!!!!! *screaming & running away*!!!

(you might have to scroll up to the top to see the picture)

Here comes the Mika defense.

Pat Buchanan looked suicidal first thing this morning as the camera panned. I had my fingers crossed. I did.

Pat doesn’t know “what this woman ever did to deserve this”?

Mika “She was a horrific candidate but the MSM was out to get her. Not because she was a woman but because she was a mother”. What a fucking idiot

And in the end, it was Sarah Palin who took herself down. Success!

Sarah came out last year holding her children as if they were shopping bags from Macy’s and for some reason she can’t understand why her children were even talked about!

Gawd. Get a ‘brain moran’!

Good morning, pups. It’s Douthat, Krugman and Cohen today. Poor little Ross… He stopped weeping over the tragedy of Sarah Palin long enough to wring out his hanky and give us “Palin and Her Enemies,” in which he says had she refused John McCain, Sarah Palin would still be a popular female governor in a Republican Party starved for future stars. And nobody would have realized yet how much she looks like Tina Fey. Prof. Krugman says “HELP Is on the Way,” and that last week the budget office scored the proposed legislation from the Senate committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP). And the news was good. Yes, we can reform health care. Mr. Cohen writes about “A Journalist’s ‘Actual Responsibility’,” and says once a decade or so, journalists get undone, and their subject has its revenge, turning the tables and refusing to let them be. He confesses that, out of Iran, he is bereft.

Here they are.

The coffee and tea are ready, and the biscuits are out of the oven. The cold drinks are waiting in the fridge for this afternoon, although after the thunderstorm we had last night our temperatures may have modified enough to keep us only hovering around 90 instead of 100. I’ve got the day off (YAY) and we’re taking Delilah to meet her new vet for a well kitteh check and to get chipped. She had her first great adventure in the garden yesterday, and didn’t want to come in when I had to — she made her displeasure known by growling while she was being carried to the door, and then yowling by the door for a while. Have a great day.

Holy moly!!! I’m going to have nightmares about that for sure!

Looks like other pups are checking out the starbucks analysis of palin this morning as well. Interesting how they insured that whoever that leftwinger is on today never got a comment in edgewise. The only reason I’m trying to stick it out is that they’re supposed to have the VF author on at some point in time. Guess they’ll keep him tied up in the green room ’til, oh, around 8:59, so the defenders can do a one minute bash and then sign off.

Sarah’s most recent tweet on Quitter:

“Grateful Todd left fishing grnds to join me this wkend; but now he’s back slaying salmon & working the kids @ the site; anxious to join ‘em!”

What a fish story!

Scary, huh? When I found the picture, even my kitten Gibby gasped!

I read that VP Joe sez that their brilliant economists misread how bad the economy was, and that it’s fine with him if Israel bombs Iran.

Caught Mika’s spiel on Palin…”yes, she was a horrible candidate but it was the liberals fault that she was exposed as such”. Then she added that she wishes reporters had gone to Chicago with the same zeal.

CNN was better this morning. They did their truthometer on Bachman’s census statements, including ACORN, she got all ‘pants on fire’ ratings. The Obama birth certificate was also knocked down.

I missed Biden’s appearance but doesn’t he look incredibly tired? He doesn’t have that sparkle in his eye that he always had. I hope it’s jet lag and not that there’s no hope.

When will Mika demand to see the birth certificate?

…the besweatered co-dependent strikes again.

When is her next Letter to the Editor defending Joe S.?

I didn’t see him either, just read about what he said. So can’t comment on his appearance.

If they misread the economy, it’s not as though there weren’t people around who got it right.

Oh, sheesh, they just had a split screen on JoeScar showing all the pundits. Looks like someone should start a suicide watch.

Mika just said Sarah couldn’t relate to the people in the big liberal elitist cities.

Oh, and on Biden’s declaration that they misread the economy, it exudes confidence that they can handle it now. /s

Among others she can’t relate to.

I keep waiting for the VF guy to come on but I’m not sure how much more of this starbucks’ brewed sludge it is possible to stomach. :-(((

I laugh at those who say those of us who support President Obama see him as the messiah, but yet, there’s the Palin supporters who if Sarah couldn’t recite the alphabet correctly the first time around they would applaud her for weeks for a job well done! Not saying President Obama is perfect, but man, at least he’s got an IQ level in the normal range or higher!

Norah O’Donnell: “Palin lacks discipline.”

I noticed her husband not looking in her direction when she was giving her presser on Friday. Seems even he can’t relate to her anymore. Oh boy.

Ol’ mica may not be a liberal but she sure is an “elitist” and she sure ain’t from middle rural Amurica.

To be a fly on the wall of the Palin household. Bet there’s a little tension going on.

I’ve had people mock me with that Messiah bull. I responded that that’s FoxNews talk and no one I know feels that way.

Does Mica have a job only because of who her father is? On the rare occassion when I tune in, she never has anything cogent to say, and is usually mewling after Joe.

It’s fun to watch the real elitists trying to bring themselves down to Sarah’s level. *shaking head*

Do you think Mika is a Democrat? I don’t. She’s not a republican either. She’s just like Sen. Susan Collins of Maine who licks her finger and puts it in the wind to find out what she believes in today. Pathetic. Can’t stand people like this!

Would be fun to have an ear to the wall. LOL

OT:I’m ticked at HuffPo. Their top story on the politics section is a photo of Rove and his negative quote on Palin. Who gives a damn what he says? Why is he getting top billing? Why give the guy a platform and raise his status? It’s almost like saying that Rove’s the ultimate genius and what he thinks is what matters most. Truly ticked. Would be happier if he were completely ignored.

If Sarah Palin ends up with her own tv or radio show, who wants to bet she won’t be able to handle all of us laughing & pointing & blogging about her and she’ll end up quitting? LOL

Can we now call her; SARAH TAKE THIS JOB AND SHOVEIT?

Honestly thought you were kidding. Looks like WW III will be the only solution to Depression II.

http://www.latimes.com/news/na…..1017.story

HUFFPO…..has completely dropped the ball on healthcare reform,and HAS become all tabloid all the time…..IT SUX

WWIII will solve everything, as we’ll all be dead.

I stopped reading HuffPo years ago.

That’d be my guess. Surely her father wouldn’t show his face on that show if daughter dearest weren’t there?

Do you think Mika is a Democrat? I don’t. She’s not a republican either
………………………..
mEEK mIKA…is a bottle blonde version of cold porridge,trying to have SEX APPEAL wearing 800dollar shoes.oy she is teh boring,and as sexy as a nematode

It was nice knowing everyone.

how did that man ever pass a bar examination….justaskin

Exactly! I’m embarrassed to watch her each day. Cringe worthy.

Certainly does suffer from foot in mouth disease.

the few times ive CAUGHT THEIR ACT…her and KillerJoe
She seems TRULY DEEPLY MADLY head overheels lusting for Mr Beady eyes……she is sickening and vapid

Ooooooooh, mica’s geting herself some “nasty” e-mails. Poor baby………shouldn’t be talking about “real” Amuricans.

i really dont think he analyzes any situation,before commenting.1 second in brain and then out mouth…not good

Mika is a humanesque Alan Colmes in a tight v-neck.

She’s nothing more than a member of the new “royalty” class where the children of the elites leap frog over the talents of others to gain their postition of power and priviledge i.e. Luke Russert. Was very common in Hollywood but the virus has spread to the corporate media.

Make sure to advise all your relatives not to travel on planes, trains, subways, buses, in case they might get swine flu is my all time Biden favorite, but yesterday’s were much more dangerous. Does Biden wait until Obama is on AF1 out of the country to open his mouth?

good morning.

sounds like watching mica and joe in the am must take a strong stomach.

Seems that way.

Mornin’ Attaturk,

doing a little digging around on Iowa 2010 esp wrt Grassley – who apparently rec’d 70% of the vote in 04. Interesting, 08 POTUS vote shows clear (almost polarized) McCrazy support in the west – but those same counties went overwhelmingly for Harkin – what the hell ?

current polling still has Grassley at 60% JAR – is there any real hope of unseating him ??

PLEASE,PLEASE ANYONE WHO has anytime…help us make calls and emails

http://oxdown.firedoglake.com/diary/6125

please for the horsies

708!!!!!!!!!!

OH GOD!

There is no hope of replacing Grassley short of death or retirement.

thanks for the link. i’ll follow up later today.

yes like Nancy Sinatra…..etc

Ah, but all tabloid all the time does generate traffic… I don’t go there any more.

mwah…….thank you…i live for the teh glorious animals….peeps not so much

im quittin it,waste of my eye strain

thanks!

ruminating on he and Harkin – it’s that folksy thang aint it ? well, that and some farm subsidies :D

Looks like Mika and Joe read our discussion this morning (they had their producer pretend it came from an email from some schmo of course!)! They had to reiterate that they are one of us and are not a couple of elitists living in the big cities out of touch with real America!

Pathetic.

cant make lemonade,outa those 2 Lemons

OT but just heard a piece on NPR concerning Al Franken and they end the story with the provacative question, “Will Franken play by the “rules” of the Senate.” How long must the nation suffer fools in the corporate media.

What the tea parties are not a popular movement I sob missed this thread sob sob!
I’ll read the comments :) Is the news covering the collapse of Rupert Murdock’s attempts to create brown shirts?

LMAO! Exactly. We can’t even get a water w/a lemon slice with those two. LOL

As always, no matter what the MSM says….the truth will set us free! Al Franken will be a fantastic Senator and when that man starts giving speeches on the floor, the truth will be seen!

He’s taking the seat once held by Paul Wellstone. Said Wellstone will be his model and that is a very hopefull sign.

Exactly. They were great friends and Al will be Paul’s voice, you know, the voice that was snuffed out too early because the right wing of America has such frail egos!

If they misread the economy, it’s not as though there weren’t people around who got it right.

Could also be that they were asking the wrong people for the “reading.” [I.e., Geithner & Summers]

What happened to the good old GOP days of Newt and Rush frothing up the extreme right crazies for these function of so called grass root efforts.?

The GOP will have to get back to basics and start paying more crazies to show up. Their payroll is going to get big in a time where money is getting tight. Even with their donors.

But excuse me, Rush, and FOX’s line up are the right wing crazies and they are on the payroll? So there is no crazies to show up at these (achem) GOP grass rooting Rah-rah’s?

Come to think of it, George Bush is a college studied cheer leader. He is out of work at the momment?

I think people listen to Rove on this stuff, because he really does have the influence.

If Rove says she’s cooked, stick a fork in her. She’s done. It may be one of the few times I’m glad Karl opened his mouth.

great photo. it is truly a masterpiece of shitheadedness. the way it oddly crops the two people behind the protester’s moronic poster and how the two others in the background (with complete heads) in red and blue appear as equally clueless as the protester himself. i’m not sure what it is about the back of the van being open but i like how it seems to reflect the likely contents of what may be in the protester’s mind, especially by being to one side of his head as though it was his good trailer fairy whispering in his ear. the red, white, blue and yellow flag adds to the sense of mindless ambiguity.

all of this wonderment frames the protester’s head and whispers thougtfully:
Get A BRAINS! MORAN
