How about us non-haters who still don’t want a national joke in the race, unless it’s going to mean the wingnuts are out of office forever? I’d guess that’s about 70% of the population of all party affiliations.

She is not going to get anywhere close to the nomination unless some big money gets behind her, which is unlikely to be the case. At this point in time, which a little over a year from the start of the race, General Patraeus is the odds-on favorite to get the Big Money. The movers and shakers in the Thug party can knock her, Huckaboo and any other fundie nut who puts him or herself up out of the running in two primaries. Pawlenty will take a little longer, as will Romney, who can self-finance, but in the end there will ber a steam-roller for an electable general. It’s all the thugs have left. A Christianist general is their wet dream.

Last night I made a gigantic batch (2 recipes worth) of moose chili.

Considering George W. Bush ran and “won” twice, I’d rather not see Palin on the ballot ever again.

But think of the fun! Obama/Palin debates!!

On the bright side, if Palin were elected president she would undoubtedly quit after a year or two.

Replete with wink counters in the lower right corner of the TV screen.

Which would mean Bachmann ascends to the throne? There’s your E-Ticket thrill ride. You betcha…

I missed the part where she went away.

The audacity of hope, indeed.

Palin/Dobbs 2012?

Or Dick Cheney again. He needs an intellectually vacant figurehead in the President slot to get back into power.

A friend’s Mom would make Moose Sausages at this time of the year …

Sooo-whee! It’d be Rapture-iffic!

The idea of eating moose is repellant.

I think Caribou Barbie will be on the ticket as Veep nominee, and I hope that HRC gets the Veep nod in ’12.

Now that would be great TeeVee …

Look at ‘em fly!!

My hunter friend won a moose permit in the VT lottery this year and bagged himself a gigantic one. He gave me 6 pounds of ground moose, as well as some other cuts. So I made all the ground moose into chili. Upon receiving my email about this, saying I had a container for him, he offered me up a whole new slew of it. Apparently his freezer is full. He sez there’s sausages in there somewhere, but he’ll unearth them at a later date.

I have friends from Europe coming to visit in December. I’m trying to figure out how to explain to them why our media continues to keep Sarah Palin in the limelight, given that she was a lousy Mayor in Wasila, a disaster for the McCain campaign, and then quit her job as Governor of Alaska. With a resume like that, how in the world do you remain a visible culture figure and get a multi-million $$ book deal? The fact that she remains a prominent personality on our political landscape says more about us a nation than it does about her.

Oy….

“Is it okay if I call you Hill?”

Yet Ms. Palin isn’t as unpopular as the incredibly toxic philanderer and adulterer John Edwards, and she has a higher approval rating than Nancy Pelosi.

Fixed it for ya, Mattie.

Hillary Clinton wasn’t man enough to become pres. I don’t think Sarah Palin has much of a chance.

Who’d be at the top of the ticket, Dick Armey? And Hillary for VP? Okay.

I like the wink-o-meter idea, eCAHN!

Continetti wants teh sexy with Palin — obviously. I don’t really blame him because she is hot and if I had a column I’d probably see if I could get her in bed (or on a tabletop) as well. His ode to her is patently silly but sometimes you have to over-compliment to even have a chance.

The Jerry Springer Show has been on the air for 18 years and shares it’s key demographic with the GOP. Americans love a freak show.

Europe has had its share of bizarre pols. The U.S. has nothing to apologize for in that regard. (Except for the ones who become prez and procede to wreck the world. No bad European pol would have that much power to abuse.)

not too choosy are ya?

Palin pulls off the naughty librarian look well. Too bad her head is filled with vile thoughts.

she ain’t the only one :)

I like a wide variety.

In the runup to the Iraq invasion, the wingnuts on cnbc were so enthused that I finally sent them an email suggesting they add a body-count stat to all the other stats on their screen. I was disappointed when they didn’t take my suggestion.

I’ve never understood the attraction. If I had a schoolmarm fantasy it would have better casting.

So is mine. Oh the thoughts.

And like the other librarian looker in the WH, shows no evidence of having read anything.

Then you’ll love Hill! two axe handles.

Guess it doesn’t matter that she has the IQ of a clam. You didn’t want to actually talk anyway.

In the case of the other librarian, she evidently didn’t even read stop signs.

LOL.

Well I’m assuming yours are very, uhm, unchristian. Hers are hypocritical christianist.

She goes for the librarian look to offset the fact that she’s dumb.

Can we mock someone else now? Ted Haggard’s baaack.

She’s like Faye Dunaway, the preachers wife, in Little Big Man.

Haggard: “-my compassion for the homosexual community has gone up incredibly.”

Now THERE’S a euphemism I’ve not heard before.

Translation: I’ve become a non-self-hating gay.

I love that movie and the Faye Dunaway scene was great. I once asked a Custer scholar if he’d seen it and he sputtered for five minutes about historical inaccuracies. I didn’t have the heart to point out that it wasn’t a documentary.

…and Ted Haggard is very, very compassionate.

what a dope

Give him a few lines of meth and he gets even more compassionate…

Compassionate like the Energizer Bunny…

Brain damage from listening to Limpy Limbaugh must be the reason that anyone would ever consider Palin even remotely qualified for the presidency.

Not that truth ever mattered to Palin

A former senior advisor to Sen. John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign says that Sarah Palin’s claim the campaign stuck her with the bill for vetting her for the vice-presidential nomination is “100 percent untrue.”

Ms. Palin’s unpopularity—the result of horrendous media coverage and her role as the McCain campaign’s pitbull—is a major political obstacle. Her unfavorable rating hovers around 50%, the point at which most politicians would reach for the Valium…An October Gallup poll put Ms. Palin’s favorable number at 40%, her lowest rating to date. …
Independents are a different story. These are the folks who decide presidential elections, and they are divided on Ms. Palin. In last month’s Gallup poll, Ms. Palin had a 48% unfavorable and 41% favorable rating among independents. Not good, but not insurmountable. Flip those percentages, and they could be serving moose burgers in the White House in 2013.

One would expect Pollster to be able to understand statistics. If Palin’s GENERAL Unfavorable rating is 50% and her INDEPENDENT Unfavorable rating is 48% there is, statistically, not a scintilla of difference between the two. Yet one is grounds for manic-depression and the other makes her White House bound?

Similarly on the flipside.There’s no difference between a 40% and 41% favorability rating.Independents find Ms. Palin just as distasteful as the General Public at large.

Or the little blue pill.

Perry leads Hutchison by 11 points. (Rasmussen though)

The GOP is self-destructing before our very eyes. Palin is the very witch of divisiveness.

I asked Glenn Smith at his place yesterday about the race and he said that Hutchinson had not campaigned much at all. I wonder what’s she waiting for.

So that means that there will also be toilet paper in the White House because Matthew Continetti is less popular than diarrhea ?? hummm….

“Reintroducing”? I missed the part where she went away

Come February, I will have known Palin for 20 years. As much as I’ve been trying to will her to go away since late July’s abdication, she keeps on reappearing. At least when I wear my garlic necklace, I don’t see her around Wasilla.

Yeah, I thought that was a strange comparison.

“Yet Ms. Palin isn’t as unpopular as shoving knitting needles into one’s eyes, and she has a higher approval rating than walking around all day with dog shit on one’s shoes.”

They’re upset because she’s not staying in the Senate???

Er, that’s not from Pollster-it’s from Continetti.

Are you sure about the approval ratings of dog crappy shoes? I’m not sure Sarah actually wins that one.

Oh, sorry. It wasn’t a “scientific” poll.

;-)

I’ve asked this before, and never gotten an answer. But looking at the “related posts” above brings the question up again. One of the related posts is “New Gallup Poll Finds Republican Party Less Popular Than Russia, China, Venezuela.” We saw poll results where the GOP was registering 20%, it’s lowest in the history of polling. Yet a week and half ago, in the two gubanatorial races in the country, Republicans won both, and quite handily so.

So what gives? Are the polls full of shit, or are the vote counting machines full of shit, because it seems to me that one or the other must be full of shit.

No, I’m guessing the Democratic parties in NJ and VA couldn’t find a Russian National to run. Remember, Vladimir Owens won NY 23, the first Democrat to beat a Republican there since the war of Northern aggression.

I think Rassmussen is pretty good as an internal Republican poll…it’s when it tries to fluff up the conservative numbers by “massaging” up the Republican weighting that it goes astray.

However, does the Republican primary in Texas allow Independents or even Democrats to cross over and vote? Or is it a strict “Republicans only” election? That could make a difference.

Oh so it’s Continetti that shows such stoopid…and misuses Gallup.

BTW given Sarah’s 40% support…note how it’s close to several other widespread delusions held by the American public.

* Forty percent of the public, including 46 percent of women and 33 percent of men believe in ghosts.
* One third (34%) believe in UFOs. More men (38%) than women (31%) hold this belief.
* 30% of men and 27 of women believe in witches.
* 30 percent of women and 19 percent of men believe that the position of stars and planets influence your fate (astrology).
*21% believe in reincarnation, the belief that they were once another person.

I just wish Snowbilly Grifter would go away. Period. I’m really over her and the breathless adulation accorded to her and her guilt-by-association clan (looking at you, Levi). Get tired of KO & RM dissing her almost nightly. Is there nothing else to discuss???

I don’t care if someone “wrote” a book that purports to be about her or whatever. And Oprah… oh well. I guess Oprah needs to buy another mansion somewhere.

I’m sure Babble Spice will try to run for POTUS, and she might get funding from David Coe (C Street) or the Koch family, if they think that by waving her bright shininess in front of gullible teabaggers will win them enough votes to keep massively screwing the rest of us. So I’m not at all interested to have her run for POTUS. As someone else here pointed out, W won – not once but twice. US populace = teh stooopedz on steriods anymore.

As for craptastic spoogebucket Ted Haggard: eff him! I read on another blog some folks getting all sympathetic over him bc of his alleged giant “conflict” over his teh gheyzness. Please pull the other one. This jerk is a 2 bit shyster out for the money, and his megachurch is/was associated with the C Street Family crowd.

If Ted Haggard was some kind of truthful being, he would own his homosexuality and go join a church that supports him. And then he could proselytize for that church in the name of really helping gays to be accepted in society. This spoogebucket is out for two things only: 1) himself, and 2) money.

He has no belief in god or anything related to morality or spirituality or that old time religion. It’s all and only about money. Ugh. One of the bigger more bilious creeps out there. When I read the blog about his so-called “return” (cough hack) to “heterosexuality” I had to put a sticky note (really) over the part of the screen where his nasty ugly photo was. ICK!!!

The concern with Palin running for president is that so many people would vote for her because it’s funny.

“Ahahahaha, guess what? I just voted for Sarah! Yeah, she won’t even come close.” (Next day: Palin sweeps presidency because of all the pure irony votes.)

“Translation: I’ve become a non-self-hating gay.”

Less of one, but still one.

And where will those mose burgers come from? The herd of mooses she brings with Her. Can You picture a herd of the big guys running the White House Grounds. And then the silence was broken by a sharp salute and percussion of a big Gun, but not to worry it was just our President killing dinner for the first family. She sharpens Her trusty knife and prepared to gut and clean the poor criter, not seeming to notice the tour groups agast at what they are witnessing. First Dude is is standing back pointing at His bride with pride, telling them I taught Her everthing She Knows, but not offering to lend a Helping hand. After like a butchering whis she has cleaned the beast of it’s innerds, and the guts lay steaming an the lawn. Only then does She motion to the white House staff to drag the carcus into the white house kitchen.
She then tells the White house chef get it ready and I’ll make the burgers Alaskin style. Maybe it’s alittle rare for most people but we like that gamey taste, so we know we are eating the product of our land.
When cooked and served She takes a big bite, and with the blood running from the sides of Her mouth, tells the family mommy killed and made dinner for you. The first dude like having been deprived of sustainence for years is gobbling down the burgers with barely time to smak His lips in between. He does find time for loving glances at His pride and joy, for being such a good provider for the family.
The kitchen staff barely able to keep from barfing, acts with decorum and serves them with respect. While picturing the arches of McDonalds as a five star restaurant in there minds. Ofcourse the wiff of the cooking moose has whisped down the halls making some hungry and others running for the john.
At least the first family here because of the warmth does not have to where their muckluks to the White House dinning room, and can gorge themselves on their mooseburgers in true Presidential style. True Russia is no longer visable, and having to suffer with the Washington Monument instead is a downer. Future dinners running past the window, and the sound of moose hoofs does give some sense of home to the wayward travelers as the settle in to their new home.
The new president after Her great dinner, can finally set back and get all maverickey thinking about how she can turn these 49 backwards States into the real America, and much more like the extremely advanced Alaska. After all She changed Alaska from the backward outpost of civilization into the booming, energy producer that it is today practically single Handed.
Dreams flow through Her haed of when She was a Child and drew the course of the Alaska Pipe line on the map, right after those dots of where they should drill. Yes drill baby drill came so naturally in the campaign, because it had been with Her since she was ever so small.
Yes the new President has great plans. Anwar for Alaska and a rig in every yard here. Yes she at last can make us downtrodden lower Fortyniners, into the real moral majority she has visions of. Her Voodoo preacher as White House claric can give her the faith to make it all happen. Yes She knows in Her mind that She will go down in History as the Countries best President, move over old man Washington Sarah has taken the town.
