WRONG, we gave Obama Grand Rapids! Rep. Ehlers still won somehow, probably from some Gerry Ford, Watergate Era crooked republican, pity vote.

Wow, that was cool the way that one Palin fan went ahead and rewrote history before Palin even had a chance to lie about it. Palin supported the bailout, but if she doesn’t support it now it means she can retroactively change her mind and say that she NEVER supported it… Orwellian revisionism is so much easier once you train the slaves to do it themselves.

Hey hoser, how do you “clamp down” the hammer?

She was right on target, “if you asked her today I think she’d say she was against it”.

Mornin’, pups -

To my mind, Nance Greggs is among the best political bloggers around and her observations on palin surely fall in the *bestest* category:

I’m sure I’m not the only male in America who, when Palin dropped her first wink, sat up a little straighter on the couch and said, “Hey, I think she just winked at me.” And her smile. By the end, when she clearly knew she was doing well, it was so sparkling it was almost mesmerizing. It sent little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the living rooms of America. This is a quality that can’t be learned; it’s either something you have or you don’t, and man, she’s got it.

Sorry the wink seemed the wink of a girl all alone at closing time despite trying to hit on guys all night.

With the United States going to hell in a handcart, must we continue to discuss this sorry excuse for womanhood? If we ignore her, will she go away? I’m on my last damn nerve with everyone’s fascination with this damn woman and her white trash family.

Don’t let it get to ya.

I’m guessing this crowd is plants the GOP has planted a forest! But if we send people there with camera’s to the next signing and get a few names we tell them we might want to talk to them later. Call them a few months later set up and interview and quiz them on Sarah’s book!

Any relation to madcabbiejan?

So the Sarah people blame Obama for the bush bank bailout but they just deny the facts that Sarah was for the bailout. Any bets they are all Fox News Viewers?

What has Obama done thats un Constitutional?

Relationship to “madcabbiejan”?

No relation, but I am mad as hell.

Allow me to pause my incessant twittering in which I condemn Thierry Henry to eternal damnation on behalf of Ireland

Grrrrrrrrrr

Being the week of the official launch of Sarah Palin’s book, it is an opportune time to step back and analyze why this woman has attracted, although not unsurprisingly, the kind of scorn usually reserved for – well, for people who can’t put two coherent sentences together, but “write” books nonetheless.

http://journals.democraticunderground.com/NanceGreggs/535

We should quiz Sarah on the facts of her book and Tweets:)

Name seemed similar I haven’t seen her around lately I was just wondering if she changed her name still nice to meet you Mad as Hell OldhippieJan:)

She thinks President Obama’s bow to the emperor of Japan reflects an attitude that America should be “subservient to other countries”

http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=YjM3MDBhM2Q0NGQ5YmM5MjM4YTk0MDliNmE5Y2IzN2Q=&w=MA==

Beats puking on the Japanese Prime Minister like Bush 1 did I can’t believe the GOP is still going there.

Good morning, pups. It’s Collins and Kristof this morning. Ms. Collins, in “The Breast Brouhaha,” says describing the last 10 years as the Terror Era sounds too much like a downer. How about the Decade of Medical Backtracking? Mr. Kristof, in “The Wrong Side of History,” says attempts to discredit the health reform proposals now before Congress resemble the flawed arguments made in the 1960s.

Here they are.

The coffee, tea and hot chocolate are ready, and I’ve got apple cranberry muffins that are still nice and warm. Was it on KO’s show or Rachel’s last night where the specter of a Palin/Beck ticket arose? I almost choked on my beverage. The debates would be outstanding… Have a great day.

Morning all. I am tired of all of this fascination over this personification of pseudologia fantastica. It is like the car wreck that everyone has to rubberneck for. Enough.

Remember how everyone was all pissy about the coverage of Michael Jackson? H. L. Mencken. comes to mind.

attempts to discredit the health reform proposals now before Congress resemble the flawed arguments made in the 1960s

Whats to discredit /s. Hell the “best” proposal ignores 6% of the population (about 18million people), it restricts access to abortion (but thats OK for the rich men of Congress), penalizes people for not being able to afford coverage (of course the fact that there are no jobs to help the poor pay for insurance is ignored), and it, apparently, allows big pharma to stick it to us with no chance of negotiating lower prices.

Sarah is the GOP front runner for President nobody else comes close. Her stupidity and lying I admit often blind us to the fact that on the issues she is to the right of John McCain. The GOP places people who look good on tv ahead of issues but with Sarah and Bush 2 before her the GOP did not even try to get someone who can read a script.
Reagan could read a script Cripes I’m missing Reagan’s competency!
We fight Sarah because we fear a modern day Empress Nero ever getting near the White House again 4, 8 more years of stupid in the White House…not as long as I’m writing Snark!

Laughter has brought down more Empires than Armies although the armies would state otherwise:)

But tell me is the real important stuff in the bill is Viagra covered!

If Viagra is covered…wouldn’t covering abortion be a no brainer? I wonder how many Senators get Viagra from their healthcare plan?

You seem to forget that having lady parts is a pre-existing condition…

I would assume so but for me my spouse of 35 years is all the aphrodisiac I need.
I am bloody disgusted at this whole “health care” fiasco. The “debate” is more about how can we ensure that the big corps will continue to make zillions of dollars from the “health care” business and not about facilitating health care for all.

Viagra what Senator Ensign uses for a long weekend…when the wife is gone
Viagra why Senator Vitter uses extra large dippers!
Viagra Rush Limbaugh never leaves America without when he goes cruising for brown women, boys? in AIDs ridden countries. Why Rush goes the Dominican Republic for brown women in an AIDs ridden country makes no sense we got brown women here!
However the child sex trade in the DR is a bit more open.

83

Agreed and if I didn’t make jokes I’d cry.

It just hit me! The National Review reminds me of my high school newspaper!

For Real or am I missing a sex joke?

Where did you go to school Reagan high?

There are 17 women Senators…. do the math. I agree, if humour were not on the program, I would be crying like Rex Ryan.

Assuming family coverage, the number would be 100.

I wonder how many Senators get Viagra from their healthcare plan?

Given their ages, one would assume most of them do. (And “NO!” that wasn’t intended to be an *ageist* comment.) *g* I’m only going by the number of ads there seem to be on the idjit box these days for “size enhancers”. The one that especially gets on my very last nerve is the one that includes a similar product for women. The way the ad is written it almost seems a *wink, wink* to men to slip one of those little suckers in their female partner’s food/drink.

But but well considering all the GOPers who cheat on their wives somebody must be getting knocked up! The GOP should be voting for this!
Or are they all sterile? Cause you know they hate birth control too.
Senator Ensign, Senator Vitter, Gov Mark Sanford, Newt has cheated on how many wives, Rudy noun verb 9/11 how many wives?
And these are just the ones we know about that I can remember.

Your assuming the women don’t get some for their boyfriends:)

Jeebers, if one counts the sons of Sens. who also have access to comprehensive health care……..

Very good piece. Thanks for the linky.

We are letting tv commercials hint at date rape drugs now? Whats next Meth for a cold?

If the boy toy needs Viagra isn’t time to trade him in?

Maybe they use it just for special occasions?

If Sarah fails just who will be the GOP leader Rush? Who will Rush pick to rally the 20%ers a real conservative like Sarah was or will Rush allow himself to be bought a third time by the Bush family?

i don’t find this stuff amusing anymore…

Glen Beck hates immigrants loves Rush, Rush hates immigrants but brings Viagra to the Dominican Republic?
I wonder what Sarah would say about that?

The Romans did not find Emperor Nero amusing, either we help the Corporate wing of the GOP George Will, Bobo Brooks etc take Sarah down or we risk her running in three years and don’t say there is no way America would elect a moron like her Reagan, Bush 2 have certainly proved we will elect morons.

attaturk, you’re gonna love this, as just about everyone here at the lake will, from the daily dish;

This is only the second time in its nearly ten-year history that the Dish has gone silent. The reason now is the same as the reason then. When dealing with a delusional fantasist like Sarah Palin, it takes time to absorb and make sense of the various competing narratives that she tells about her life. There are so many fabrications and delusions in the book, mixed in with facts, that just making sense of it – and comparing it with objective reality as we know it, and the subjective reality she has previously provided – is a bewildering task. She is a deeply disturbed person which makes this work of fiction and fact all the more challenging to read. And the fact that she is now the leader of the Republican party and a potential presidential candidate, makes this process of deconstruction an important civil responsibility.

that’s brutal

I am holding my hand over my eyes with fingers spread, like you don’t want to watch when it happens but you cannot resist

stay tuned to their site, something should be comming this morning

and they link to the quote of the day, quite astute me thinks

“The key to making a political comeback is to have somewhere to come back from — and somewhere to return to. Sarah Palin can’t make a comeback because she didn’t go anywhere. Not up, not down. Not sideways. Aside from a brief and totally artificial post selection bounce last year, Palin remains a fixed political commodity,” – Marc Ambinder, CBS.

Crap Attaturk where did the crowd get their copies of Sarah’s book from a local Mega Church, some GOP social?
How many people got free corporate welfare copies? How many bought online in non bulk orders? How many bought at the book store?
We need people interviewing the crowd on Camera.

…don’t say there is no way America would elect a moron like her Reagan, Bush 2 have certainly proved we will elect morons.

Agreed, we’re playing with fire here folks. Sure, on paper, it seems like a good thing for progressives to let them fire up the idiocracy and let them make fools of themselves. I’m sure sane people thought similar things in Germany back in the late 20’s.

The lies do make it so hard to talk about Sarah’s stand on the issues. And when folks lie I make jokes:)

Yeah stand or fall time! we are not going to let them get their message out there unopposed!

May be it’s just me reading that implication into it but most of the ad deals with the men’s product…..with the lady’s tacked on at the end. Plus ca change…………

You mean she wasn’t forced into buying those clothes?

Comeback? When has she fallen the 20%ers never stopped liking her? This book tour is suppose to make her warm and fuzzy for Moderate voters too bad outside of bulk orders I don’t see many Moderates reading her book.
Oprah I’m sure boosted her poll numbers but for how long?

Her moms dresses her funny!

I think the message we need to get out there is not that Sarah is an idiot. Which she is. Not that she’s batshit crazy. Which she is. But that she’s extremely dangerous and a threat to the values that our founders stood for.

The Constitution. These yahoos probably can’t name one specific thing our Constitution says. Sarah Palin and the whole wingnutosphere is the biggest threat to our Constitution.

Wait is she really saying the McCain campaign forced her to buy those clothes?

Marion – this one is for you
http://crooksandliars.com/driftglass/open-thread-21

No tv here can’t give an opinion.

that’s an excellant post sufilizard, excellant, too often we let the neo-nazi’s parading as concervatives and republicans to do just that, even though their positions are in direct oposition to the founders

great point and post!

Good idea but first we need to define our values and hers point out the conflict then we need to have multiple posts on this topic. The Media we know won’t ask Sarah an issues question on her book tour.
We need to…but with humor.

ET is the Fire Pup you should talk to on this

http://progressivealaska.blogspot.com/

Ugh! I’m trying to get ready for work, but I can’t stop thinking about the comments of those morans.

I wish she would have followed up on their comments about how much they love the Constitution by asking them how they feel about alleged 9/11 terrorists getting their day in court. I wonder how much they support the Constitution there?

The Constitution. These yahoos probably can’t name one specific thing our Constitution says

It would be cool if we ask the Sarah Planted Book crowds how much of the Constitution can they recite, that and what Obama has done against the Constitution.
The answers would be funny.

I’ve got some prime swampland I want to sell to these 2 boneheads.

Swim is up…

Oh, thank you! I howled. That Photoshop job is worthy of the Sadly, Naughts.

What has Obama done thats un Constitutional?

He got elected. In the original Constitution he was only rate3d as 6/10 of a person. How can a 60 percent person be President? It just make any sense.

McCain is in there too, but he’s only cheated on one wife that we know about.

Viki Iseman (sp) would resent being forgotten so soon!

This “Palin-o-lithic” era is becoming a never ending elementary school production of Wagner’s Ring Cycle with only kazoo accompaniment.

Instant classic.

American right wing headspace is a wondrous place.

She actually puts the “trash” in her “white family”.

I’m breaking my pledge to myself never to read anything with ‘Palin’ in the title. But I’ve finally got it: Palin is Aimee Semple Mcpherson!

Right you are! I was just so damn aggravated that this insufferable woman that doesn’t have the brains to pour the piss out of her Jimmy Choo{?} shoes; is getting all this attention, that I didn’t clearly think through my comments. I stand corrected.

My silly SMTP server is acting up again trying to tell Norah O’Donnell that McCain did not win in Grand Rapids last year. She can’t get away with that. All those people think Acorn robbed the vote for Obama last year is all. People are leaving the book laying around all over Costco.
