From Taegan Goddard, there’s this from Levi:

“She’s being smart. She knows what I got on her. It’s a smart move on her part.”

– Levi Johnston, quoted by the New York Daily News, when a reporter told him last night that Sarah Palin didn’t blast him in the interview she taped with Oprah Winfrey.

BT! ‘cuda just don’t understand that the more she opens her yap, the bigger the hole she digs.

not into drama my ass

Of course, Johnston could get away with that whether he has anything on Sarah or not.

Her, and her evil twin, Carrie Prejean.

could it be that there is a sarah/carrie prejean tape?

Any discussion of Palin Thanksgivings will, of course, remind all Americans of her unfortunate appearance in front of the slaughterhouse machine. Good for Oprah!

What you said.

Saw on Rachel (or was it Keith?) that she didn’t expect a Gotcha interview…like, being asked what she reads. Tough.
Like BT’s description of Katie – the Edward R. Murrow of our time.

Much like the recent interview of IN Rep. Buyer about his foundation – “this interview just isn’t fair and balanced.” “Matching things [votes]to donations gives you a good story”. And, following Tom Tancredo and Carrie Prejean, he got up and ran from the room. I guess even he realized how idiotic he looked.

*starbursts*

Heh!

Kudos BT, I enjoyed your “God what an idiot” Little League story and “Edward R. Murrow of our time, Katie Couric.” So sad and SO true.

Well, you know when that particular “Johnson” gets out of those particular “Levis” and “rears his head” there just may be a wee bit o drama.

At least this queen HOPES!

levi either has something really bad on the ‘cuda or else he has a bluff that should serve him well in poker championships.

Their combined stupid would create a gravitational force so strong even light could not escape, rendering video recording impossible.

BTW, thanks Suzanne, now I’m afraid to turn off the lights.

And to think, these stupid, hypocritical, right wing bastards are likely to control the House after next year. Hmmm, I’ll go out on a limb right now and bet that if they do, they’ll do more Congressional investigations of the Executive branch in the last 2 years of Obama than they did in all 6 years they controlled the House when W was Prez combined.

wicked evil laugh

Actually it’s a Johns-TON, so it must be a monster.

Levi seems to be playing his hand just right. I think he has something on Sarah that she would like to keep quiet and read somewhere that he is asking for joint custody of the child.

i think levi either has some excellent advisors or is wise beyond his years.

Sorry Sarah but rilly you’re like so five minutes ago I’d rather blow Michelle Bachman’s hitachi magic wand, kthxbai

/america & msm

hey sharkbabe — thanks again for sharing that french response lily allen video — i used it this past sun nite

I was thinking more of a Sarah with underage Levi tape.
***
Brain bleach dispensers are empty again!

check again — the truck just did filled the tanks for the weekend

I saw a headline in passing where Levi said he got some good advice from Jon Gosselin, so excellent advisers indeed.

If not for headlines I’d have zero idea who Jon or Kate are, so thanks again to Big Media for helping me remain culturally relevant.

That junk is all over Huffpo…hard to avoid, but like you, I read the headline and skip.

OT: I just read this rather touching article about a reporter’s unexpected encounter with the Obamas at Arlington.

Like many I’ve been critical of Obama’s policies but I do think his public and private tributes to the troops are sincere.

great

try this one too – “Stupid Callous Homophobic Hateful Legislation” lol

thanks ratfood. very touching

I kind of wish HuffPo would keep it corralled on the Entertainment page but I suppose you have to mix some lurid fluff with news to hold peoples’ atten-…

Sorry, I just lost my train of thought.

hahahaha mary poppins needs to teach those fools a few lessons. i like it sharkbabe thanks

I agree — I feel the same way.

how’s everyone doing tonight? its forking cold here tonight — 41 and supposed to get down into the mid 30′s tonight. brrrr

Hey Suzanne!
It is 41 and due to dip to 32 or less. Lovely sky on the way home from work — lots of pink and sunset colors.

hey ce — brrrr. we gotta storm coming in tomorrow that is going to bring the snow down to the 1,500 ft level.

Hey, Suze – sending warming thoughts your way. I forget – do you have a heating system, or is just fireplace or woodstove? Seem to remember you cutting wood for the winter…or was that in California?

It’s cool enough here in So. Tex that I have to move cats off my lap when my legs go to sleep – and there’s some competition for the lap. But it’ll be in the fifties tonight – upper 70′s daytimes. Cool front this weekend, I think.

Oh yeah, it doesn’t offend me, it just seems like a waste of front page. I admit to looking at the photos of politicians. (And FLOTUS!)

I stole that and put it on my Facebook profile!

[hail to sharkbabe]

Almost all the leaves are down, so we should expect snow any day now. We’ve been raking and moving branches downed in freaky wind gusts. I love fall, and it was beautiful this year.

It’s cooling down in the evenings here, Suz. We need rain.

i heat with wood stove only. i have a great wood guy up here who keeps me well stocked with wood and stacks it up here on the second floor for me. didn’t have that in ca and i was out there chopping kindling and stacking the wood dumped in the driveway. much better system up here :) the wood stove really does keep this place cozy. last winter i got down into the 20′s and suffered zero frostbite

i’ve gotten 11.30 inches since october 1st. i keep trying to send those rainstorms south to ya but…. no luck yet loohoo

It has been getting into the low 30s here at night, 50s or low 60s during the day. Kind of like summer in the Rockies except with lots more oxygen.

*laughing* where’s your here?

I have a funny story:

MrCE and I had a little house in Lewes, DE when we moved back from France. He was supposed to be writing his dissertation, and I was desperate to find a job in a town down on its luck. We had no money, and the decision to buy either oil, or wood for the fireplace made us choose wood (we were young, and in love). MrCE would take the fire out of the living room fireplace, put it in his metal toolbox, and run it upstairs to the bedroom fireplace. Oh, we almost froze that winter, but the atmosphere was lovely!

Ha ha ha!

You shall pay for your insolence!

Dayam. Time does fly – I was thinking this would be your first winter “up there.”

MrCE would take the fire out of the living room fireplace, put it in his metal toolbox, and run it upstairs to the bedroom fireplace. Oh, we almost froze that winter, but the atmosphere was lovely!

!! Okaaay, I’m picturing the carrying upstairs okay, although it would sure make me nervous. But, how the heck did he “take it out of the fireplace?” Having trouble visualizing that part. What did he use to lift the burning logs?

Central Illinois, elevation is 728 ft.

moved up here oct 1 a year ago

brrrrrr

Sweet!

Shovel the fire burning logs gently into a metal box, including coals — close, and run up tiny circular stair (house built 1790) to little, tiny bedroom and put in fireplace there. Stoke, add wood, jump in bed.

At least you have a view, this might be the flattest place on Earth outside of Bonneville. Not entirely without charm but nothing that would tempt you to use the word “grandeur.”

Hey Loo Hoo,
Thanks!

“Almost all the leaves are down”

Why, that makes me think of…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMZ1R7R-v9A

the only thing grand here is the view. tis a 100 year old drafty house that looks great but, as all old houses do, has its pros and cons.

the view is worth it all :) so far

Later, we learned of an amazing new invention called matches. Now if the fire went out, we needn’t wait for a nearby lightning strike to get it going again… “g”

I do love this! And I was contemporary with it…

How is Levi like KRS-One if you’re Sarah Palin? Like KRS-One, he’ll end your career.

emerson — that song takes me back to a powder blue transistor radio that i traded for that album. thanks dood

Now, those lines I recognize. (reference to utter misunderstanding from last night LN)

It really has been pretty. I’m storing up the memories of golden and red leaves for the gloom ahead.

And I had one that was white, with a white leather case…

Ohhh- envy – I only had the single. ; )

Sounds good. I might live in a discarded refrigerator box if it had a great view… Nah, not really.

Wrapping it up here. Sweet dreams and pleasant weather to all.

i drove into town today to pick up a rx refill. there is still red and gold on the trees but it doesn’t look like they will last long. soon it will all be evergreen or bare.

Excellent description. I can picture it now – like the detail about the age of the house. Very romantic indeed – when you’re 22, right?

g’nite rat

Margot,
Best color yet. Maybe I’m just getting too old, but I waxed nostalgic about how lovely fall is in OH. And I’m not from here!

and as Teddy and Sunny say, “No backsies.”

goodnight, ratfood – thanks for your kind words last night.

Sorry about that, Tejana, that wasn’t a very well-known song.

i didn’t have a case. my choices were an ugly pepto-looking pink or the powder blue.

The lovely house had no modern insulation, and we froze. We didn’t care.

rot roh — did i fork something up? no backsies?

No prob. Too bad there isn’t a code to insert, say, a musical note, as a clue–like a snark tag.

how about /Stones mid-60s ?
lol

Heck of a memory, Suze. I barely remember my transistor radio – think it was black and came with a case. Probably faux leather. I do recall it cost $14.00, cause I had to save up my allowance (earned by raking mown grass and leaves) for it. Took for-eeeeeever!

Oh, I was there – but more of a Beatles girl. Have a couple Stones albums, but from a little later. Had to slough off the midwestern naivete and move to Boston to appreciate the Stones better.

Chuck Todd tells us that Craig is out as WH counsel.

Ick. Isuppose he tells us what it means, too. I can wait til daylight for that.

i saved up my babysitting money for that radio — i don’t remember what it cost but know i charged $0.50/hour.

wonder if chuck got fed a truth or a lie? iirc he’s been lied to recently and did not reveal his source. shit, i can remember a powder blue transitor radio but not what cast an aspersion on chuck todd…

Ooh, you gouger, you.

Sorry for any misunderstanding. What I intended merely as observation might have seemed like criticism. That wasn’t my intention. I enjoy all your contributions very much.

Bob says “Hi,” and “Goodnight.”

LOL – you’re not old enough to remember your youth but forget what you ate for breakfast, girl.

G’nite, Bob, and rf. Sleep well.

seems so many of trad-med have no idea what real reporting is all about. all those ‘faces’ tend to blur in my memory unless, of course we are talking about ko or rachel.

Night hunny!

I managed to practice piano a little bit after work tonight, and I thought of you.

I care for your hands, and love you from afar. I really do.

kelly — how’s denver tonight? baby girl stephanie didn’t mention weather when we talked earlier.

It’s a great start to what I’m sure will be a winning ticket.

;>)

hehehehe hey db

Dood! It was 70 today, probably 38 or some such for a high tomorrow.

We’z getting snow this weekend, perhaps. It’s one of those High today, Low tomorrow deals. Typisch.

no wonder she didn’t mention it — typical kid only tells me when there is something to worry about :)

I know – the real reason is that there a number of things that “cast aspersions” on Chuck Todd – why should you remember a specific one?

Did you see the interview Rachel played from CBS of Rep Steve (?) Buyer? Reporter named Cheryl something – actually asked the relevant questions about his ridiculous foundation, made him look like a fool – to the point that he got up and ran (yes, ran) from the room.
Course, altho’ she did well, and he didn’t give her a chance to ask all her questions, I keep wanting them to follow up in ways they don’t seem to think of…maybe you have to have trial training? I dunno.
But, then, it doesn’t seem like the lawyers who’ve gone to tv have used their training – they just seem to go for the money, if G Van Susteren is any example. Uhoh, I’m rambling.

i saw that and had similar thoughts. wonder if she is gonna get in trouble for asking real questions.

Hi Suz – So, when’s America going to kick these waste-of-a-synapse sideshow acts to the curb and get down to business again?
There can’t be that many rich old f*cks who get a prostate tickle every time the dulcet tones of Sarah P. are broadcast over vast continental wastelands.

;>)

Whoa, got bumped and had some trouble signing back in.

Anyway Suz-No backsies on the M & P album. You don’t fork up.

i dunno db — part of me wonders if everyone is just waiting to see her eventual meltdown — live of course.

duh! yeah, it was a no backsies trade. sorry for not gettiing it sooner emerson

Pre-Palin, I was totally pissed about McCain in the primaries, ALL BY HISSELF!

Let us not forget teh stoopid: Witness, Barbie vs John McCain (and Iran)

Time to pack it in, folks. Stay warm, everybody; g’nite!

g’nite tejan — i’m headed upstairs

That woman has more baggage than Louis Vuitton – If she doesn’t flip out at a Choke n’ Puke somewhere, it’ll only be because the news crew didn’t show up after she called the station.

;>)

Oprah has plenty of conservative viewers she would’nt want to offend by asking Sarah any really tough questions. Palin needs to be out there more just so stupid voters don’t forget how awful she is.

Yeah, I caught the jewels on Keith Obermans Show. They already have the
Amway/CIA/Blackwater helicopters flying around Grand Rapids probing potential Lee Harvey Oswald assasins with secret mind beams. Just like before Shrub would come to town, or Darth Vader himself. Barnes and Noble had to move into a mall for some reason here, I think I’ll quit using them.
It’s one of the oldest outlying malls she’ll be going to, to see real people buying magazines, and newspapers etc The ones who probably pack heat
can easily access the mall via M-37/44 & M-11, stop by and buy a ton of her books to load up their Escalades with.

Nothing to add? O, I bet you do.
