Please, everyone knows IOKIYAR.
Sarah Palin took umbrage recently with White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel for remarks he made, privately, to the effect that querulous Democrats were “f*****g retarded” for planning to run attack ads against centrist Democratic lawmakers. As the mother of special needs child, condemned Emanuel and demanded his resignation, prompting bloleague Jack Farrell to wonder why the conservative icon was suddenly embracing political correctness. Apparently Jack’s not the only one. Rush Limbaugh, also came to Rahm’s defense, in his own way, castigating “our political correct society” for “acting like some giant insult’s taken place by calling a bunch of people who are retards, retards.”
So will Palin now turn on Limbaugh?
I’m going to go with no.

But, but, but. Rush isn’t of Rahm’s stature. Rahm’s a short, skinny fart. And Rush is basically spherical.
Mornin’, BT, pups
Limpdick and Sarah? Non-story.
Eight, instead of 7, million jobs lost since Dec 07. That still doesn’t reflect the actual number of people without a job. Sorta like the official inflation numbers don’t include food or energy prices.
Oh boy, the Obama’s are at the prayer breakfast with Tebow sitting next to Mullen!
Palin and Political Correctness
Is the good Rev Dr Jeremiah Wright giving the sermon? That should wake up the uptight whiteys.
If only, proly Warren.
How many time’s have various Right Wingers called someone retarded? Full confession I’ve made several small school bus jokes about Bush and friends over the years.
Is that a Family event?
And did they protest the movie There’s Something About Mary?
From Wiki. Good call, things.
I’ll bet they didn’t invite the Dalai Lama.

Its guys like this that give religion a bad name.
Snark?
Thanks sometimes things just smell wrong. I comment before I google.
Sometimes I smell wrong too. *g*
But you can be comforted by the millions of jobs “saved”.
Just who is taking care of Sarah’s son while Sarah is flying back and forth from Alaska and working at Fox News? Has her Husband given up his jobs the Daughters I presume have school.
Good morning all.
Slight correction, I think:
Shouldn’t “Palin” or “she” be inserted before “condemned”?
I hate it that Palin criticized Emanuel and calls for his resignation. Now he’s bullet-proof.
And re the “Prayer Breakfast:” could Obama be any more of a kiss-ass to the right-wing?
Did his con law class cover “separation of church & state”?
Yeah, right. Horseshit. Neither the WH nor Congress have any idea on how to put all these people back to work. Not a fuckin’ clue. The big money’s made on Wall Street, why should they care about regular folks?
Not before breakfast :)
Lighten up.
His use of “retarded” has no more connection to retarded people than his use of the F word refers to the act of coitus.
I don’t imagine he actually thought the offending Democrats were actually humping each other.
Yep Rahm can’t resign now he gives Sarah the credit if he does. The only way Rahm can resign now and not give Sarah the credit is if we do ok in the november elections and then Rahm resigns.
Not MY family!
Morning everyone :) OT, this is either interesting/disturbing, but it does bear watching..Big brother is going huge if we are not careful, and ‘nearly impossible’ is BS, they can get really fucking close. We already know they have all the ‘cool shit’ and ‘people’ we pay for it.
Google and NSA may team up over cyberattacks
Internet search firm Google is finalizing a deal that would let the National Security Agency help it investigate a corporate espionage attack that may have originated in China, it has been reported today.
The aim of the investigation is to better defend Google, the world’s largest Internet search company, and its users from future attacks, the Post said, citing anonymous sources with knowledge of the arrangement.’
‘The focus of the cooperative venture would not be to determine who was behind the attacks, the Post quoted its sources as saying. That would be nearly impossible.’

To me, the most interesting thing about the incident is that the uproar is over use of the word “retarded”, while the adjective “fucking” glided by without comment. I’m old enough to remember a big uproar over Jack Parr leaving the air because his use of the word “watercloset” had been sensored. I think George Carlin would be pleased at our progress.
They protest There’s Something about Mary? and they have had how many sex scandals among their members?
If thats not Snark worthy I’m not sure what is. Double points for any member who criticized Dem family values, Triple points for anyone who criticized Bill.
Yes a Family event is not the type of thing anyone would want to bring female members of their own family too.
What makes the “Prayer Breakfast” right wing?
If Yahoo had any brains they would state they will not work with the government unless forced to by law.
Yahoo is struggling. I like their search engine better than Google’s.
Fellowship involvement in extra-marital affairs of politician members
In 2009, the Fellowship received media attention in connection with three prominent Republicans politician members who reportedly engaged in extra-marital affairs.[7][80][81][82] Two of them, Senator John Ensign, chairman of the Republican Policy Committee in the Senate and the fourth ranking in his party’s Senate leadership, and South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford, immediate past Chair of the Republican Governors Association and U.S. Representative from 1995–2001, were considering running for President in 2012.[7][80][81][83][84] The affairs of Ensign and then-Congressman Chip Pickering, R-Miss., took place while they were living at the C Street Center. Each of the three voted to impeach Bill Clinton for trying to cover up his affair with Monica Lewinsky.[85][86]

OK, everybody smelly into the shower. With SOAP! *g*
he Fellowship and Uganda
The Fellowship, through Senator Brownback and Representative Joe Pitts (R.-Pa.), redirected millions in US aid to Uganda from sex education programs to abstinence programs, thereby causing an evangelical revival, which included condom burnings, and doubling the incidence of AIDS.[76]
In a November 2009 NPR interview, Jeff Sharlet alleged that Ugandan Fellowship associates David Bahati and Nsaba Buturo were behind the recent proposed bill in Uganda that called for the death penalty for gays.[77]

They are behind the Death penalty for Gays in Uganda? Ok I think we have been way to nice to these Fools.
Everybody in the shower with soap? Oh, boy, a hot time in the ol’ shower this mornin’.
They can get a lot of people back instead of do no evil. . Will not cooperate with the Government unless forced would get them us and the Righty blogs in a heart beat.
I claim triple points for all three plus Pickering’s Dad I do believe is a racist.

There’s that too, though I was referring to this scene in particular.

My bold WTF!!!
Carlos Eugenio Vides Casanova was head of the Salvadoran national guard and later defense minister. He was sued in the federal civil court of Miami, Florida in the United States in two precedent-setting cases. The cases are referred to by the surname of his co-defendant, José Guillermo García:
Ford v. Garcia, a lawsuit by the families of four Catholic churchwomen who were murdered by a Salvadoran military death squad on December 2, 1980. The defense won the case, and the families appealed. Their appeal was denied, and in 2003, the United States Supreme Court refused to hear further proceedings.

Obama is siting with people who break bread with Nun killers?
Shower’s not big enough. I have a nice big oval tub with a skylight that’s available. I’ll provide the bubbles.
Woo Hoo, I hope I got here in time.
Stop a leash? you’ll give Sarah ideas.
Hey! You kids behave.
That goes for you to, demi.
Off to swim in the great capitalist cesspool.
A little something to start the day off right.
US KIA Irak: 4,375
US KIA Afghanistan: 983
Iraki and Afghan casualties: estimates vary to over 1.5M

Be good to yourselves, and all other living things.
Namaste

Thanks SoDrag.
Namaste

The Family has a Nun killer give a talk a guy so bad Homeland Security wants him out of the country? Next time Sarah says Obama is palling around with terrorists I’ll say yep he went to the Prayer Breakfast.
Hey! We all love you here anyway. Your spouse is just at the top of the list. *g*
Oh, please, please, please Lord hear our cries for justice.! And, I not kidding, God. Try not to listen to those nun-killers. They’re only praying for more money and power.
She is the center of my universe and I adore her. But don’t tell anybody.
Where’s my bullhorn.
*g* You are both and each very blessed and I doubt that anyone here begrudges that.
New post up…
Do we have to get out, dry off and put our clothes on? It looks like serious and adult fare up there.
I think that if any member of the Family were to run for reelection the Dems should buy some ad time in the local Catholic church bulletins, Hispanic Media, and mention these guys pall around with Nun Killers.
Local Gay Media might be interested to know about the death Penalty in Uganda.

The Prophet Ozzy warned us of these men!
Sorry, guess I’m bored. An FDL shower party. Whoopee!
You need to put the little “f” by your name so we can find you.
???
If you go to your Lake profile there’s a text box to enter your FB page url. That will make the little “f” appear before your name here. Clicking on the little “f” takes you to that person’s FB page.
Aaaahhhh. Thanks.
Palin speaks, progressives react. That, is playing into her hands. Palin is a sly like a fox. Progressives underestimate her appeal to millions. And, they secretly know it.
Right we have been calling for Rahm’s head since day one and Sarah just wants to ride our train.
And Epsom Salts? Good Morning..
Ever wonder at the comments that appear after everybody’s pretty much moved upstairs every morning?
Bye SD, sorry I missed you….see ya in the shower later, I guess. Angela can’t come..
Mornin’. On my way out da door but I like to check the EPUd comments. Hope you and Angela are well.
Many people on our side think we pick on her to much pity from the other side is not what the GOP is looking for in a leader.
Olbermann is a misogynist piece of shit with no credibility. And I find the picture you have posted of Pelosi very sexist and offensive. These pictures of powerful women looking goofy are deliberately designed to undermine them. If the same were done to Obama, people here would be screaming racism from the roof tops!!! Shame on you Jane. This is your blog, and of all people you should know better than to allow this crap!!!!! STOP THE MISOGYNY!!!
Yes sometimes I catch trolls trying to get in the last word like they won the argument but like this guy they were not on the thread when everyone was there.
The sad thing is its a Sarah thread the lady is comedy gold, the Right Wing Media can’t sell her no matter how hard they try.
First the Lake is a bunch of FemNazi’s and now we are misogynist? Confused much? pick an insult Righties and stick with it.
Case in point. *g*
Pelosi is a bag of crap. Doesn’t matter how powerful she is. She should get the boot. Have to agree about Olbermann though unfortunately. At one time I enjoyed his rants, and actually chuckled at them. Now I find him annoying in the same way as listening to rightwingers on tv. Party shills. Despise it.
I agree with you Canadianbeaver. Nancy Pelosi is full of crap! I don’t like her either, but I do object to sexist depictions of any woman. If you have a gripe, spell it out, don’t use sexist stereo typing. We see too much of this shit and it only undermines womenhood, not Pelosi’s politics, which should be the focus ridicule.
Who you calling a Rightie? Has equality for women fallen off in so called lefty thinking? It doesn’t take a right winger to stiff out a misogynist. And yes, many of you think of yourselves as lefties, but you are actually hypocrites. I’m a liberal feminist, not a Rightie. As for the femNazi label, if the shoe fits, its probably yours!
Didn’t you know that it’s OK for mentally challenged people like Rush and Sister Sarah to use the “R” word?
The picture is goofy the Left has done meaner pictures the Al Franken book cover picture of Bill O’Reily for example makes Bill look one drink away from a liver transplant. I do not believe either picture has been doctored up.
You can make fun of women without being sexist or using sterotypes. I am unaware of goofy being a sterotype of women at least not since the Lucille Ball show went off the air.
You don’t like Nancy but you over react to a slightly goofy picture I think your a concern troll.
On what fact do you based what you are saying. I think you are wrong and by the way what is your real angst again OBOLERMAN. Could it be he calls out those wingnuts who lie to us on a continous basis. It possible you do not like Keith for speaking the truth and facts on all the lies put forth by those fools on th right. At the same time I have notice not one of these fools have come after Keith or RACHEL except for saying well we think they are wrong. By the way I watch KEITH AND RACHEL ALL THE TIME AND THEY DO A DAMN GOOD JOB OF REPORTING. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
