Wow. McCain ought to have paid ‘ol Joe to keep him quiet. Maybe then he wouldn’t feel so used.

I luvs it when they eat each other.

Joe and Sarah: two gifts that keep on giving.

Joe may think of himself as Mr. Everyman but he’s a hustler just like Sarah.

Good grief — Joe the (alleged) Plumber? Is that walking bag of horse manure still around?

My thought as well. I was thinking just the other day how glad I was that not-Joe the not-Plumber’s fifteen minutes had finally expired.

Has anyone listened to the latest “Common Sense” with Dan Carlin podcast? I found his comments about Sarah Palin rather interesting. He discusses the fact that while we on the left like the bash her, she is likely to be the “game changer” in the 2012 election cycle. The “Ross Perot” of the new generation. Her little things with the handwriting on her hand, all carefully orchestrated to make the masses feel more in touch with the common-woman.

I hate to admit it, but I think he’s right. It only reinforces the notion that this country is going to hell in a hand basket, but we can see her coming and we aren’t doing anything but laughing at her.

Remember Reagan in the 70s? GW prior to the 2000 election? It’s coming and we are going to be oblivious to it.

I hope LEVI writes the book.

This is the first I’ve seen of him in a while. And you know I’m looking.

He thinks he’s the face of Middle Americans? Yikes. He needs to check his Plumb Line.
I’m feeling kind of queasy right now. And, gorsh darn it, it’s lunch time here.

How can we be oblivious to something you just pointed out?

The problem is not that she wrote on her hand but that she had just criticized the President for using a teleprompter, which by the way everyone on television uses including her.

This has to be explained?

I do agree with you on one thing. This individual should not be underestimated because her rabid fans on the right don’t care how dumb she is because in their mind she is one of them. It amazes me how these people think because if they could just look past their racist noses they could see that they are voting against their own self-interests.

Explained?

“…she is likely to be the “game changer” in the 2012 election cycle. The “Ross Perot” of the new generation.”

LOL. Yeah, some of us recall how swimmingly that all worked out. For Dana Carvey, that is.

“…Can Ah finish? CanAhFinish?CanAhFinish?CanAhFinish?…“

during his speech,

Don’t tell me people pay to hear this clown speak

You DO remember that Ross Perot’s Presidential run in 1992 split the vote, giving us Bill Clinton? And that GW’s daddy spent more time trying to destroy Perot’s already unstable ego than running a focused campaign against a dope-smoking hippie moderate? I mean c’mon, the guy’s wife had her own career, for Gawd’s sake!

Though to be fair, the corporate beltway press was already tired of both Bush and Perot by election day. And now that The Dean of the Washington Press Corps® has declared Palin “smart” and now makes his atrophied heart/brain/man thingy flutter, all of Washington’s inbred cocktail party goers will suddenly find her “folksy”.

Oh, goodie, a teabagger split. Pass the popcorn.

I apologize for not being more clear, what I am saying is that due to the unrest on both sides of the isle, unlike Ross Perot’s loss, she could win. The teabaggers as much as I find them to be idiotic, they are the most election worthy 3rd party. They represent the frustration the public feel with both parties. If you couldn’t stomach the standard trash for the Republicans or Democrats, what is to say they wouldn’t think Palin is the answer? A protest candidate as it were. The media loves her and as idiotic as she is, it hasn’t caused her to disappear from the spotlight yet.

I think the Republicans are likely to try to morph with the teabaggers, but don’t be surprised if the teabaggers are competitive and possibly win in 2012… Not that I want them to win mind you, but I just don’t think things are going to get better in the next two years to make people feel better about either the Republicans or Democrats.

Here’s a Ssssssssssmokin’ gun!

Cheney tells it like it is!

Says that the lawyers did what they were told.

Is it 11 dimention chess? Just wait for the truth will out?

PS, If Cheney loves waterboarding and military courts, well, he can have them when it’s his turn,

@ wireat 142

While I agree that the half-governor is dangerous, let’s not get carried away.

There were 600 people – 600 – at that massive teabagger convention. The only reason it got any press coverage at all was because of Caribou Barbie. The coverage was so massive (a hundred mediarats? Two hundred?) that of course we were inundated with stories.

But 600 people! And most of them possessed of teh crazy.
I mean, on his worst day Perot was the soul of sense compared to these folks – and I should know, as I media member I was forced to listen to him as the main graduation speaker at a large Boston university with the eponymous name.

If she got the GOP nomination (a very, very big if) she would then get the kind of exposure that leads to landslides in the other direction. As a third-party candidate she pretty much guarantees Obama in the WH for another four years (not that pretty much all foreseeable GOP candidates don’t do the same).

Are there 20%, 30%, even 40% of the electorate possessed by teh stupid? Maybe, but that many people can’t elect anybody.

Sarah the not-even-a-one-term Governor is disapproved of by Joe the not-even-a-one-term plumber.

That ought to show her.

You went to a university called “Perot”?

Or oh, just covered the graduation?

Did they all throw their ears up in the air when it was all over?

I repeat that the Democratic party is not beyond snatching defeat out of victory mouth. Do not underestimate Ms. Barracudo quitter.

Particularly since Rahm & Obama will spend all their time between now & November 2010 — and then on to November 2012 — congratulating themselves about how smart they are, and continuing to try to “win over” Republicans and “Independents,” while continuing to give not-a-damn about the traditional Democratic base.

Because where else can that base go?

Even Michael Savage agrees with you:

Well, I don’t know what happened to my link above but there is an article on alternet where Michael Savage, you should pardon me, “savages” Sarah Palin.

It’s gonna be great it will be one big “Standoff of the Stupid”.

No one likes a quitter. Not even “real” americans.

She’s relegated to doing what she does best: kibbutzing from the sidelines of Real America ™.

I would laugh but Obama is going to triangulate some place into the middle of Mooselini and Joe Plumb Crazy. It’s the moderate thing to do, don’tcha know.

You should check out the website of Medina, the woman running for governor of Texas. Glen Beck embarrassed her in an interview and it has caused a split amongst not only the tea partiers but the 912ers. The head of one of the local 912 project groups wrote on her page that he still supported her, but now saw Beck as a faux populist working on behalf of the elites. So if you like this kind of stuff, you should be pretty entertained from now until at least November.

They can stay home like they did in Massachussetts.

A doushe bagger using “teabagger” in a news headline. Par for the course.
And Joe’s angst with McCain — understandable. What you leave out of your story is the fact that Joe thinks your point of view is crap. jds

She didn’t criticize Obama for his use of a teleprompter. But of course, how would you know if you didn’t listen to her speech. What’s it like being a leftist parrot, anyway?
