The Lame-Stream Media has of course been waging an all-out attempt to discredit Sarah Palin and make her look like a vicious dingaling, employing underhanded tactics such as showing footage of her talking. The most recent instance of anti-Palin LSM venom would be the attempt on the part of the far-left Atlantic to prove that nobody wants to see her new smash-hit hagio-pic, The Uncoherent.
Much to the chagrin of smart-alecky bloggers such as “Mr. T” Bogg, however, Crack Investigators from Andrew Breitbart’s Big Stupid Hollywood are on the case, proving that the Atlantic‘s Conor Friedersdorf is not only not a Conservative as he claims, but a great big lying Leninist, because one of them went to the theater the next day and found out that AS A MATTER OF TRUE FACT, six tickets were sold for the midnight showing that Freidersdorf attended, and this makes the film a ginormous smash, even if none of the other five people aside from Friedersdorf either (a) bought the thickets intending to see the movie, or (b) showed up. Big win for the Conservative Masses!
Besides, the Crack Big Stupid Hollywood Investigator went back for a discount morning showing the next day, and found out — wait for it — that the theater was one third full, and even though the audience was composed of old people too lazy to get a job, not once did they get up on their Medicare-scooters to go pee.
I can tell you that at 10:45 this morning, the theatre was about 1/3 full and the audience sat riveted. I stood on the side and watched the audience more than I watched the film. They skewed a but older, I’d say 47-ish was the average age. But remember that this was at 10:45 in the morning on a work day. Most good conservatives are working at that time and aren’t able to go catch a flick. Not one of them looked at their watch. Not one left to use the restroom.
Yecch. One only hopes that Rich Lowry were not there, as then the poor sods who had to sop up the urine-y cushions would have had even viler substances to cleanse.
In other exciting news of how America Loves Sarah! — I shit you not –
It may not be “Harry Potter,” but another film featuring a bespectacled protagonist is racking up strong pre-sales before its national roll-out this weekend.
“The Undefeated,” a glowing look at failed vice-presidential candidate and former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has already sold out a show in Grapevine, Texas (population 46,000), according to the distributor Cinedigm.

Damned librul media!!!!!
Evening
Thersaturday Night Fever!
Have I mentioned lately that Sarah Palin is a stupid bint?
Evening Thers and EDP.
Slow night.
Everyone at the movies???
*ducks and runs*
Whatever. But so far the Sarah flick has made so little bank, that they’re ashamed to report it to Box Office Mojo:

Even the hapless producers of Atlas Shrugged admitted they went 13 million in the hole for their hubris project:

SaTHERSday Night Fever!
Behold the miracles of the markets! Funny how they always believe in market perfection until it reaches around to bite them on the ass (as it invariably does when they subject their ideas to actual market tests).
I hear there is a film about a wizard kid or something out right now…
Heh, good catch
Palin’s support appears to be a mile wide and about half an inch deep. I would guess that those conservatives will always vote a man instead of a woman.
I actually thought about seeing a flick yesterday, but I wasn’t interested in seeing anything that was playing. Of course, if The Undeflated was showing in Iowa City, I’d have run right out and paid matinee prices to heckle it.
Palin’s following is tiny but rabid. Like a vicious Chihuahua.
Haven’t seen any numbers in a while, but the last polling data I saw on Palin, indicated that she only had about a 29% approval rating and the highest negatives of any national political figure. Sounds to me like her popularity is about as broad and deep as a teardrop.
What you got against rabid Chihuahuas?
If I can work up the ability to care that much, for shits & giggles I’ll follow up with comparative posts about how Our Rightist Friends proved Farenheit 9/11 was a total disaster back in the day, in light of the Roaring Success of this palin tripe
Wonder why they did not open it in her home state. They may be dumb but they are not that dumb……?
Yes, they are. :)
That should be good for a giggle. Throw in Atlas Shrugs and I bet Michael Moore is still phat.
Have you ever [i]seen[/i] a Chihuahua? I rest my case.
saTHERSday nite live! dood those are great forking tags
Oh! Have not been keepin up are we at the end of the road for this enlightenment.
Thers -
I meant to mention this before, but my university has now started an Irish Studies minor. I think they are trying to appease Butte, or at least make them forget about the gaping hole in their heart.
I wonder if FOX “News” hacked the theater’s email or bugged it’s phones to find out how many Palin tickets they’ve sold?
hee hee, thanks
They’re allowing beer sales in the student union now?
They hacked the phones and bought all the tickets. It’s a new era for wingnut welfare!
Cool! I knew about Butte’s Irish connections, but damned if I can remember why….
I resent the idea that irish people do any drinking! Hic!
Nope, but there are plenty of private establishments that are more than happy to accommodate, including the Irish themed Sean Kelley’s.
I’m Welsh, you see, so I must rib my Irish cousins between AA meetings.
Perhaps rumors of their notoriously epic St. Patty’s Day celebrations has filtered back there as well. More likely because of the Irish miners and their role in the strikes in the early part of this century. For that matter, the town in Hammett’s Red Harvest is partly modeled on Butte.
*heh* Having a pint of Guinness as an avatar doesn’t help one’s cause either, Thers…! ;-)
Heh. I am Bavarian.
Word of advice, then: never vote for an Austrian carpetbagger.
Only scheduled to play a few days here in The City Beautiful. They’re running bus trips in central florida. But I mean, how smart was it for them to show it at a theatre in Universal Studios the same weekend as Harry Potter opening? there’s a whole portion of Universal dedicated entirely to Harry Potter. It was mobbed. TV was there. So far Sarah’s flick hasn’t been mentioned in The Sentinel
The family left in 1848 when the socialist revolution failed. Ain’t voting for no Austrians, or Republicans.
Ah, well, I’m beat. Going to call it a night. Peace out, y’all!
you go to AA meetings? I used to. stopped going and stayed sober. good outfit. not for everybody. but it’s helped lots of people.
you too.
Night. Think I will toddle off as well. Going hiking up here tomorrow morning (7.5 miles with an 1100 foot gain in elevation) and I need my rest. Take care all.
I’m drifting as well, niters
g’nite edp, dr dick, and thers
It should be very clear by now to all reasonably intelligent people that Sarah Palin is not going to run for president this election cycle. She’ll never say that because keeping the ruse going allows her to continue pulling money from the pockets of the stupid.
