Scarborough, Buchanan Completely Reverse Positions On Palin In Just Five Days
Scarborough, Buchanan Completely Reverse Positions On Palin In Just Five Days
Today, Joe Scarborough and Pat Buchanan enthusiastically endorsed Gov. Sarah Palin, praising her experience compared to Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-IL) and slamming criticism of her as sexist attempts to “destroy this woman”:
BUCHANAN: Maybe she doesn’t have the foreign policy experience to be president now. But she’s a great asset, and she’s not DC, so they want to kill her. They are trying to destroy her in a way. [...]
SCARBOROUGH: How can Barack Obama’s campaign criticize an inexperienced number two on the Republican side when Democrats have picked, I would say, probably the most inexperienced person to run for President of the United States in the Democratic party probably in a century?
Watch a compilation:
What a difference five days makes. Awaiting McCain’s VP announcement on Friday, Scarborough and Buchanan sang a very different tune, declaring Palin too inexperienced and pointing out that Obama “validated himself with 18 million votes”:
SCARBOROUGH: She’s only, she’s only been a governor for one year?
BUCHANAN: She’s been a governor one-and-a-half years, yeah.
SCARBOROUGH: That, that will not work. [Laughter] No seriously, you’re going to bring somebody from Alaska who’s been a governor — Let’s be honest here. … I just find it hard to believe that with the problems that we have across the world…that you’re going to have a governor that’s been there for one-and-a-half years as Vice President.
Watch it:
Transcript:
SCARBOROUGH: You can legitimately ask whether she’s qualified to be president because of her experience. Of course that’s a bit strange thing to argue when Barack Obama actually was in session in the senate for about 130, 140 days before he decided to be commander in chief. [...]
SCARBOROUGH: A lot of people will say, I’ll take somebody who ran a state with a $9 billion budget over somebody that voted in the Senate for a couple of years. [...]
BUCHANAN: Look, you know what they want? They want to destroy this woman. We’ve picked — whatever you say about the other party, we picked somebody we love. She’s fresh, she’s inspired, she’s an outdoor gal, she’s done a great job in Alaska. Maybe she doesn’t have foreign policy experience to be President now. But she’s a great asset, and she’s not DC, so they want to kill her. They are trying to destroy her in a way — I think it’s evil what they are trying to do and the way they are doing it, it is a smearing attempt. [...]
SCARBOROUGH: Gloria Steinem was right. We were talking about this before. Gloria Steinem wrote an op-ed the night before the New Hampshire primary and said if a woman had as little experience as Barack Obama, she would be eviscerated by the press. Well, Gary Wells proves her right. All the op-eds today prove her right. It’s sexist. [...]
SCARBOROUGH: How can Barack Obama’s campaign criticize an inexperienced number two on the republican side when democrats have picked, I would say, probably the most inexperienced person to run for President of the United States in the Democratic party probably in a century?
[...]
SCARBOROUGH: With all the problems though that we have pointed out, and the fact that John McCain is 72 years old — 72 years old — do you really want somebody that America doesn’t know to step in being just one heartbeat away from being the President?
BUCHANAN: Well you mentioned that word, commander in chief. And it’s hard to see this Sarah Palin as commander in chief within say the next year or so. So I think — that is the real risk that just this woman, she might be outstanding, might get women, get conservatives, energize the base, but I think the argument made against her would be that she just is not ready to be commander in chief, and she could jsut get eaten alive in a debate with Joe Biden.
SCARBOROUGH: How many years has she been in office?
BUCHANON: I think only — ‘66 I believe she was elected.
SCARBOROUGH: In ‘06.
BUCHANAN: She threw out Murkowski in a primary–
SCARBOROUGH: She’s only, she’s only been a governor for one year?
BUCHANAN: She’s been a governor one-and-a-half years, yeah.
SCARBOROUGH: That, that will not work. [Laughter] No seriously, you’re going to bring somebody from Alaska who’s been a governor — Let’s be honest here.
BRZEZINSKI: Well we don’t know for sure.
SCARBOROUGH: No I know. I just find it hard to believe that with the problems that we have across the world…that you’re going to have a governor that’s been there for one-and-a-half years as Vice President.
BUCHANAN: Don’t forget: She was Mayor of Wasilla!
SCARBOROUGH: Good point. I’ll guarantee you there are a lot of people out there saying, Well Barack Obama only had one year’s experience before he ran, but guess what? He built this campaign. He validated himself with 18 million votes. … I don’t see it happening. [...]
BUCHANAN: Joe you’re right. He validated himself — Barack Obama — by beating everybody, all the powers of the Democratic Party, over 18 months, knocking out even Hillary Clinton.
SCARBOROUGH: He built a historic political structure. That’s much different than waking up in — where?
BUCHANAN: Wasilla.
SCARBOROUGH: Wasilla!

Looks like a couple very tiny pee-pees were whacked by the powers that be….
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:16 pmI am still waiting for some honest journalist to ask one of these talking heads how much “executive” experience John McCain has. Since that’s all they can credit Sarah Palin with, their mantra now is that you have to have “executive” experience to be President. Since John McCain has never held a job that was not paid for by the government, I can safely say that he has zero “executive” experience.
So, let’s examine Ms. Sarah’s “executive” experience. She was a very part time city council member, one of 6. She was the mayor of a town of 5,500 people. But she turned over the day to day administration of the town to an administrator. She has been governor of Alaska for 18 months. Boy, I can just feel those qualifications from here.
When is the fourth estate going to start doing their job?
All it will take is one investigative reporter and the rest will follow because they won’t want to be seen as irrelevant.
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:23 pmRight maybe someone threatened scarborough by saying he should be careful or a little more detailed autoposy report might be released, about the female intern that was found dead in his office shortly after he mysteriously resigned from congress…
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:24 pmSo, Obama hasn’t been criticized for lacking inexperience?
Whatever. Tell me more about how outdoorsy she is. I won’t vote for anyone until I know I can hunt squirrels with them.
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:25 pmIt doesn’t matter what these idiots say or believe, the McCain campaign is in a shambles, and thrashing badly. Very, very stupid to rip into the press the way his surrogates have done.
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:26 pmIt’s been six days since she was announced and the vetting is just beginning.
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:26 pmThe Enquirer’s “Edwards” team is already uncovering a host of religious right hypocrisy in Palin’s background. After all, one can’t spend all your free time hunting wolves, bears and moose, driving ATVs and teaching your children to remain pure until marriage. Plus the nights can get awfully cold in Alaska.
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/09/03/palin.speech/index.html
“Contrasting her resume with that of the Democratic presidential nominee, she says: “I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a ‘community organizer,’ except that you have actual responsibilities.”
Wow, shes going to try and insult barak by insulting community organizers. Smart move. Guess what you coke addled BibleBarbie “liberel” misspelling c#nt, I think you insulting “community organizers” is going to motivate alot of them to do alot more than you think..
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:31 pmI buy McNumbNuts’ experience argument. I mean, Failin’ Palin made BIG decisions when she was mayor. You know like whether or not the Wasilla dump should be open on Sundays. Or whether or not the local library should have a copy of “Catcher in the Rye” on its shelves.
What has Obama ever decided on? Those silly laws that Congress passes or voting on appointed judges or national budgets? Pffffftttttt! No comparison.
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:31 pmverbalkint has it right I think. They are stuck with this millstone hanging around their necks and are being forced to make the best of it…..I guess since we are in the northern hemisphere they will swirl clockwise as they go down the toilet.

September 3rd, 2008 at 8:35 pmSpeaking of right-wing pundit flip-flops, here a “hot mic” conversation that was on-air on MSNBC today after Mike Murphy and Peggy Noonan had just been interviewed by Chuck Todd and given glowing comments about what a brilliant choice Failin’ Palin was. They didn’t realize that they were still being
recorded. Pretty funny stuff. Actually, it is good to know that the right-leaningpundits do really understand how much trouble their party is in even if they put up a good front in public.
So, you see, the things that get labelled as “liberal propaganda” that’s said because “they’re scared of Palin” is just the same pure unvarnished truth that right-wing pundits share in private amongst themselves.
Noonan: [Can't hear since Todd (who is still on air) is talking over her]
Murphy: Um, you know, because, I come out of the blue swing state governor world.
Engler, Whitman, Tommy Thompson, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, I mean, and these guys,
this is all how you win a Texas race, just run it up, and it’s not gonna work.
Noonan: It’s Over.
Murphy: Still, McCain can give a version of the Lieberman speech and do himself
some good.
Todd: [can't really tell what he says, but he mentions something about "insulting
to Kay Baily Hutchinson]
Noonan: I saw Kay this morning…
Todd: She’s never looked comfortable up there..
Murphy: They’re all bummed out.
Todd: I mean, is she really the most qualified woman they can obtain?
Noonan: The most qualified? No. I think they went for this, excuse me, political
bullshit about narratives…[couldn't hear the end of it]
Todd: Yeah, but what’s a narrative?
Murphy: I totally agree.
Noonan: Every time Republicans do that, because that’s not where they live and
it’s not what they’re good at, they blow it.
Murphy: You know what’s the worst thing about it, the greatest of McCain is
no cynicism, and..
Murphy and Todd together: This is cynical.
Todd: And as you called it, gimmicky.
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:35 pmRe. Tom:
Do you happen to know any of the books that she wanted removed? I think it would be interesting to know what constitutes offensive literature in her eyes.
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:35 pmEight years of collective amnesia, now political whiplash.
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:37 pmPerhaps OSHA should inspect the republican party for health and safety reasons. They might need some sort of protective equipment.
I’m only surprized it took four whole days. Isn’t it great, though: at the same time they’re blaming the media for her lack of qualifications, the media is praising her and attacking Obama. It’s a win win.
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:38 pmDo you happen to know any of the books that she wanted removed?
Maybe someone will ask her which books are offensive at a town hall meeting — if they ever let her off the short leash she’s on. It is true that she had this conversation with the librarian whom she subsequently fired because she didn’t think she was “loyal”.
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:38 pmTom:
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:41 pmIt seems like a natural follow-up, but it will ever get asked.
I’m watching the convention, and someone’s got a sign that reads “raisin McCain.”
I dropped my bong, laughing so hard!
Dammit! Lucky it’s fresh water…
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:41 pmOkay. No open thread for funeral — er, convention — blogging. I will just have to hijack this one :)
Hmmmm. Whitman and Fiorina back-to-back at the podium. Two failed female CEOs in a row. What kind of message are the republicans sending tonight? They really seem like pretty bad choices to be Failin’ Palin’s fluffers tonight. Or is it a sense of foreshadowing?
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:43 pmBarfly:
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:43 pmHave the stormtroopers escorted them away yet?
And they call Democrats not patriotic. How patriotic is it to lie about the next possible VP to prop up your party at the expense of the country. It is as treasonous as if they were passing secrets to China. And they are more likely to put our country in danger than that.
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:44 pmTom, the Republicans wanted a hat trick for the hockey mom.
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:45 pmScarborough pulls in about 238,000 viewers per am.–that is a very tiny audience. He has always gone back and forth on his positions because he essentially has none.
Suddenly, he and Mika are down on bloggers and find them vile (see Fishbowl) they can’t stand the fact that people are not listening to their brand of horseshit and they think by attacking us, it will diminish us..they’ve got it wrong.
As for Buchanan..why he even has a gig with any network is beyond be–he lives in the long ago past and most young people I know think he is crazy.
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:45 pmWhy am I thinking it was Harry Potter she wanted banned.
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:46 pmThey got the memo. Free thinkers all.
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:47 pmI can see why Meg and Carly got canned. If they had given presentations like that in my board room, I would have fired their arses, too.

She should have put up “raising McCain,” but was too stupid to proof read her own sign!
The conventioners are a howl. Last night, I saw a guy holding a “democrats for McCain” sign, and a GOP button was clearly visible on his shirt.
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:47 pmI voted for Hillary. I was right to do so.
Another Operation Chaos ditto-head?

Putin doesn’t yet realize he’s just implied that McCain will soon kick the bucket – but he will.
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:50 pmShe should have put up “raising McCain,” but was too stupid to proof read her own sign!
It’s hard for those republican women to find their G-spots.
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:50 pmFriday morning’s show was Scarborough and Buchanan without their talking points, speaking frankly about what they really thought about Palin. Today, the points were on their blackberries, and they regurgitated them exactly as received, just like good little Rovebots.
What I find so humorous is Noonan, sitting there among them this morning, spewing the same bullsh*t as everyone else. Little did she know that a few hours later her real thoughts would be caught on tape for all the world to hear.
Good times, good times.
PEACE
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:51 pmGood call, tom. I guess a few of the stragglers didn’t get the memo to stand down after they utterly failed to affect the process or disrupt the convention.
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:54 pmIs Ted Haggard speaking at the convention? He should be straightened out by now, shouldn’t he?

Based on the recent news of the upcoming “blessed event” I’m guessing it was the sex education books. You know, the ones with the pen and ink drawings of the naughty bits and the explanation of the tab A/slot B mechanics.
PEACE
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:56 pmDont worry, Someone down at the Ministry of Truth will fix things up and soon Scarborough and Buchanan will always have been ardent supports of 2-term Governor Palin.
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:56 pmI think it would be cool for Obama to float Richardson as a SoS tomorrow.
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:57 pmIf anyone doubts the power of the neoconservative movement, this should be the proof. These people have money, clout, and a willing cadre of well connected disciples. They have the machine to take the election away from the Democrats through voter disqualification and other methods they used in 2000 and 2004. Watch your backs….

We don’t need to. He’s not running against her. He’s running against McStain, and Johnny doesn’t even know which state he’s in half the time.
Yer floating a false premise.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:03 pmTonight the convention is running AHEAD of schedule. They probably want Palin to be finished before anybody tunes in.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:03 pmThey’ve got some poor homeless person dressed up as Lincoln, wandering the floor!
This is better than the Daily Show!
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:03 pmPutin Says:
Bad news. Obama supporters cannot explain why Obama is more qualified than Palin to be President.
Do the math you nitwit.
The whole notion of “executive” experience is ridiculous anyway.
Essentially, the President runs a committee, his Cabinet, and decisions shouldn’t be made UNILATERALLY in any case(look how far that line of thinking has gotten us), so please define the term “executive” experience and then try to translate Palin’s THIN record of being involved in ANYTHING to do with politics into a robust picture of that definition.
Obama has proven time and time again that he can inspire the nation and that he can also work with people and not discount them out-of-hand because of differences in opinion. The closed-minded GOP style is not good for our country.
It’s over – just stop it.
You can’t, you won’t, you stink.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:04 pmThe Dictionary of American Slang has always been a popular target.
Awww, come on now. If that got banned, beauty queens wouldn’t be able to put full sentences together. And that wouldn’t be cool or anything.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:04 pmPutin better be careful. He apparently doesn’t know that Sarah Palin is right next door, acting as America’s first line of defense against Russia.
And she’s armed to the teeth.
PEACE
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:04 pmIf Palin is such a good pick, why isn’t she at the top of the ticket? Oh, this isn’t October yet? Sorry for the spoiler.

We will see after McCain is creamed in the debates he is trying to back out of now.
I think we should dump Obama and bring Hillary back. I really do. I voted for Hillary. I was right to do so.
You should really wake up and see the real world.
Hillary lost.
She supports Obama.
You are posting “against Hillary” and against the Democratic ticket.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:07 pmBut you were never a real Democrat, were you, troll.
Seriously, what does “executive” experience mean in relation to politics?
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:07 pmThere’s Mittens! I am so very disappointed that McNumbNuts did pick him as a running mate. I had a great bumper sticker all made up and now I can’t use it:
“2008 — Don’t put a moron and a Mormon in the White House”
When he’s done bloviating, do you think that his wives will come out on stage?
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:08 pmI guess they realized that McCain was serious. What a riot!
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:09 pmMitt had a face lift. Lardy.
WTF
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:09 pmMike Steele just gave a thumb-twiddling speech, that was nigh-incomprehensible.
Mitt’s stroking them now.
Poor guy. McCain punked him for VP, and now he has to give John a fluff-job.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:10 pmI’m trying, but I just can’t watch! Thank God for Project Runway. All the posers, not of the closets.
PEACE
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:12 pmHey Mitt. From what I remember, the states most dependent on government tend to be Red ones.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:12 pmOops. Mitt just farked up, big time!
He referenced lax moral standards, and the teen pregnancies that result.
KA-BOOM!!!
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:12 pmI love how Mitt and the rest of the Repugs always play the “Liberals think government leads to a strong economy” card.
Well – it can.
That is, if the government doesn’t promote the exportation of jobs, and lets huge corporations slide through massive tax loop holes at the same time they work to reduce the taxes these corps should pay but often don’t.
Trolls – name the accomplishments of McCain and the Right when it comes to small businesses and family farms. Please?
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:12 pmThe majority of the American people voted for Barack Obama, not just ‘democrats’ like these idiots try to point out. Secondly, Sarah Palin wasn’t voted in by the American people for Vice President, she was appointed by John McSame.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:13 pmYou can’t compare Obama’s true success and Palin’s “success” or lack of lately.
Poor guy. McCain punked him for VP, and now he has to give John a fluff-job
On the other hand, you might say that McNumbNuts did Mittens a favor and gave him a chance to deliver the first speech of his 2012 Mittens for President campaign.
So far, it’s a “no-sale”, though.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:13 pmI love the home made signs…such a pisspoor whatever.
nazinuclear. WTF
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:14 pmDid Romney just stick a vindictive pitchfork in McCain?
Where can we get quick access to the transcripts of Mitt’s speech?
This is potentially big.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:15 pmMaybe they didn’t know the tape was running on Friday? Or, perhaps, the messenger with the updated list of bald-faced lies got stuck in traffic?
No matter. Everyone seems to be on board today. But they need to send out a memo to watch the little light that tells one if a mic is “live”. One mustn’t tell the truth on a live mic. Never, ever, never tell the truth on a live mic.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:16 pmI’m pretty sure Mitt just slammed McCain’s choice for VP.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:16 pmBoy, listening to Mitt, you could almost forget that Republicans have been running the country for the better part of the last 3 decades.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:16 pmI didn’t catch it Barfly.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:17 pmDid anyone else hear Mitt reference lax morals and teen pregnancies?
The hair’s standing up on the back of my neck…

I bet Todd from JS Show is wowing up the crowd. They are out of it. Did you see the sleeping old dude? Somebody put a blackberry in his hand. You could tell he was sleeping. Pitiful. What a joke.

September 3rd, 2008 at 9:20 pmSpeaking of Mittens. Wasn’t McSpin calling him a “magic underwear wearing librul” infiltrator of the “noble” GOP?
Am I the only one who feels a profound need for a shower, and tranquilizers, after watching the GOP “unite”?
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:20 pmI’m off to see if there are any places to find Mitt’s speech.
Perhaps I’m just wierded out…
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:21 pmWelcome to the 2008 Republican Olympics.
Now competing in the “red meat tossing” competition. Mittens Romney from the State of Massachussetts. Mittens was the national champion this year but has been suffering from a torn rotator cuff caused by prematurely patting himself on the back in January. He also is hampered by carpal tunnel syndrome from writing too many personal checks to some obscure presidential election fund.
Oh, Mittens has fallen very short on his last and final attempt. It doesn’t look like he’s in the medal hunt this year, folks.

September 3rd, 2008 at 9:24 pmi might be a little late on this but for anyone else who didn’t know who the f**k palin was before last week,don’t worry – the co-chair (whatever that means) of the rnc has no idea either – some one called jo ann davidson said loud and proud that they would elect sarah PAWLENTY to become next VP!!! – ha!! – i hope that the obama campaign along with olbermann,maher and stewart and the likes milk this one to its very last drop.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:24 pmTom, that’s Commonwealth of Massachusetts, not state! Oh, you’d be in so much trouble…
PEACE
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:25 pmNext up in the “red meat tossing” competition — Mike Dingleberry. He is seen as a real dark horse in this event. Despite his mild manner, he is well known for throwing the bull around.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:26 pmMittens was whining about the “librul” Supreme Court too! And now the Huckster is on!
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:26 pmI think I’d rather watch ‘America’s got Talent’ on NBC. But then again, the Republican Convention is great sleep aid.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:26 pmIsn’t it funny how one can hear the last clap?
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:27 pmBarfly, here’s Mittens speech:

September 3rd, 2008 at 9:29 pmWTF did he just say about Sen. Obama?
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:29 pmanyone else who didn’t know who the f**k palin was before last week
Actually, there is no such person as Failin’ Palin. Michelle (The Bimbo) Bachmann found out she was going to lose her re-election bid in Minnesota so she dyed her hair, changed her name and moved to Alaska. McNumbNuts didn’t vet her and the rest is history.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:30 pmYes Pete: The liberals have been running roughshod over this country for far too long! And it’s just going to get worse because Obama brought back those damned European ideas from his trip abroad.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:31 pmThank you God for my friends here and the internet-truth.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:33 pmThem funny furren idears never did no one no good, tbone. And Jesus wants Americans to drive monster trucks!
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:35 pmThe Huckster sounds a disgruntled preacher.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:35 pmOh hell nawh. What a complete idiot. palin got more votes than Biden?
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:36 pmHuckabee just said that Palin got more votes running for mayor of Wasilla than Joe Biden got running for president. A bald faced lie and they cheered.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:36 pmDingleberry is a great little fluffer. He is funny as h*ll. If only had decent material — his delivery is excellent.
And he is so informative. Did any of you know that McNumbNuts was a POW? I am just amazed. How come he never talks about it?
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:37 pmHuckleberry says that Palin got more votes running for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska than Joe Biden got running for President of the United States.
Um, Huck? Palin received 909 votes in 1999. Better check those facts, Huck. And while you’re at it, look into Biden’s election results as Senator of Delaware.
PEACE
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:37 pmI agree Shayne. I mean, McCain didn’t get 18 million primary votes like Obama did. Hell, McCain’s speech at the Republican Convention won’t attract 38 million viewers like Obama’s did.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:39 pmHuh? The vets are buying our desks now?
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:39 pmAck! I had to turn it off. I can appreciate the humor of the deluded speakers but, the applause of the sheeple makes me gag. I sure would be more confident if the GOP had one rational person to whom logical arguments would, at least, register. The brain-dead zombies on the convention floor, however, just can’t be reached, only outnumbered.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:40 pmI’m sure Biden got more votes than Huckabee too.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:40 pmGeez. How disappointing. Dingleberry just slipped out of his comedy routine and fell directly into a big steaming pile of cheesy tear-jerker sob stories.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:40 pmWhat a lovely story. “The Little Desk That Could”
What’s the point? Oh, McStain gave Huck a school desk?
Just string some stupid words together, and they’ll cheer at anything!
GO KEITH! Thank God for the Department of Debunking!

September 3rd, 2008 at 9:41 pmFrom Mitt’s speech:
Opportunity rises when children are raised in homes and schools that are free from pornography, promiscuity and drugs; in homes that are blessed with family values and the presence of a father and a mother.
America cannot long lead the family of nations if we fail the family here at home!
Sounds like a well-couched poke in Palin’s eye.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:42 pmMittens: It’s time for the party of big ideas, not the party of Big Brother!
Just what party does he actually believe he is in?
Just like a freekin troll, liberal this, liberal that, and everything in between is off in lala land, with no truth to it.
No wonder I can’t stand listening to these idiots.
Thanks Spencer’s Mom for the link.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:42 pmPete, pete. Come back? You’re going to miss the other POW on the republican’t ticket. You know — The Princess of Wasilla.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:42 pmI thought he was arguing for more taxes. That’s what paid for my desk in school.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:42 pmAnd thank you, spencer’s mom.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:43 pmPlease Sen. Obama. When you thank that stank mcchimpy for his “service” please include everybody else who has sacrificed for our country past and present.
No more just mcchimpy tu. Especially sense mcchimpy is such a liar.
Oh wow, I thought yall were kidding…I just heard canned applause.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:43 pmYeah that whole desk story didn’t make one bit of sense when he finished it. I hope he knew what he was talking about when he wrote it otherwise he’s losing it too.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:43 pmOpportunity rises when children are raised in homes and schools that are free from pornography, promiscuity and drugs; in homes that are blessed with family values and the presence of a father and a mother.

Super that on the big screen when the Princess of Wasilla’s family joins her on stage after her recital.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:44 pmspencer has a quality mom! You nailed that “Little Desk That Could” before I was even out of the starting gate…
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:44 pmI guess Palin’s family didn’t dodge that promiscuity bullet.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:44 pmI love the images of the Alaskan wilderness in the background. I think I just saw a big hunk of the glacier break off. Don’t worry though, it was only six thousand years old.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:45 pmIt’s all about their sorry asses. Please go away repugs.
This is too funny for words.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:45 pmRomney said: “Is government spending — excluding inflation — liberal or conservative if it doubles since 1980? It’s liberal!”
Ummm…..Clinton had a budget SURPLUS, while George W has brought us 9.6 trillion dollars of debt. It’s the Republican’s war budget…haha, Romney is retarded.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:45 pmWow. First Dingleberry — now Linda Lingleberry.
Is there a pattern here?
Why does this woman not seem to have her heart in it?
On, I see. She was in Dallas when Failin’ Palin went into “labor”. I guess Lingleberry is the defense’s “next character witness”.
Now wouldn’t it just be cool if Linda was saving her dress from that day with an amniotic fluid stain on it? How poetic would that be.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:48 pmI just can’t take them in large doses tbone.
You know? I don’t usually play the “what if game” but, one can’t help but believe that, if Ms. Palin were a “librul”? The Huckster would be among the first to condemn her for raising, at least one, “Hell-bound fornicator”.
And I get really creeped-out when Mormons talk about “family values”.

September 3rd, 2008 at 9:55 pmLooking ahead a bit here wouldn’t it be great if Rudy JulieAnnie avoided the noun/verb/9-11 BS for the evening and did some reminiscing about the “good old days” of his rivalry with McNumbNuts?
“Their campaigns, meanwhile, upped the ante, with McCain campaign manager Rick Davis sending out a letter to supporters hammering the mayor’s recommendation of Kerik, and noting, “A president’s judgment matters and Rudy Giuliani has repeatedly placed personal loyalty over regard for the facts.”
Giuliani’s communications director Katie Levinson meanwhile hammered back: “John McCain’s pure desperation in the face of a failing and flailing campaign” while former Giuliani deputy mayor Randy Mastro said, “It’s no fairer to judge Rudy Giuliani on the basis of this one issue than it would be to judge John McCain on the basis of the Keating 5 scandal.”
Now that could be fun!
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:55 pmA bunch of no-names at this Republican convention. On a brighter side, it least they MIGHT of filled 10,000 seats, yay!
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:56 pmOh so now size matters… It isn’t the size of the state… it’s the motion of the ….
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:56 pmIs that the sperm donor sitting next to Bristol? Chewing gum? With the skin head?
Why do I think there are some swastika tats hiding under that just-from-WalMart suit?
PEACE
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:57 pmThe whole scene is pretty sickening. I hadn’t planned to tune in, but now that I have, I am having a grand ole time. The most apparent trend from watching the last 4 or 5 speakers is the complete lack of any sense of irony. So many accusations levied against the Dems, yet they really are more potent criticisms of the Repubs. Lots of pot disparaging the kettle, outright hypocrisy, and just absolute nonsense.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:58 pmLook who’s holding the baby again. This is too much for a preggo teen.
They’re confusing you. You have to remember:
(1) Trig is Bristol’s son; it’s natural for her to be holding him
(2) Bristol is not preggo; that’s just a cover story for the post-natal condition of her body (and the prelude to her “spontaneous miscarriage” next month at the hands of the liberal media and gossip mill)
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:59 pmI just… ***snort…*** went and actually read the text of Mittens’ speech…
BWAHAHAHAHAHA…
Gaaawd… the man is hallucinating. Who does he think has been running the country the last 8 years?
Notice how NONE of these dingleberries from Hell… NOT ONE… is talking about all the… ***snerk…*** TREMENDOUS GOOP successes of the last 8 years?
They can’t come up w/ one single solitary policy or act or event that is an unqualified success… BUT…
***drum roll…****
They’re FED UP and they’re NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…

Julie, Julie, Julie!
PEACE
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:01 pmMitt:
Opportunity rises when children are raised in homes and schools that are free from pornography, promiscuity and drugs
His real point is:
Opportunity falls when children are raised in homes that aren’t free from promiscuity, blessed with family values and the presence of a father and a mother.
The other stuff was window dressing. He goosed Palin before the whole convention, and the rubes were too self-involved (and too drunk) to notice.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:02 pmCountdown to first mention of “9-11″ starting . . . now!
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:02 pmrudi don’t do a noun, verb, 9/11.

Oddly enough, some of that is NOT in the prepared text…
I guess Mittens didn’t get the memo about NO AD LIBBING…
See what happens when ya veer off message, Mitt? Ya make a fool of yerself and everyone else in the place…
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:03 pmI’m guessing eight mentions of 9/11, before Rudy’s over.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:03 pmGiuliani is speaking now. He said if he wasn’t running for President he’d vote for McCain. Well the last time I Check Giuliani ran for President, and he failed. I wonder how is affairs are going?
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:03 pmThe delegates don’t have the faintest idea what the Heck Rudy is saying. There’s the cream of the GOP for you. If in doubt about whether or not one should applaud? Chant “You ess ey”?
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:04 pmWeeeeeee’re Off to see the Wizard… the Wonderful Wizard of OOOZE…
Because because because because…
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:05 pmHere comes the 9/11 talk….
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:05 pmA definite check and mate. HAHAHAHAHA
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:05 pmAnd Rudy’s taking about the importance of choosing the right man — after picking Bernie Kerik!!!
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:05 pmI wonder if McCain reminded his children he was a POW every time they misbehaved.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:06 pmJulie, was collaborating with the North Vietnamese one of the tests that John Syndey passed? Crashing five planes? Fighter pilot over Hanoi? I thought he was a bomber…
I guess so.
PEACE
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:06 pmHow did signing confessionals serve the cause? Just wondering…
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:06 pmShoot! This was caught in “awaiting moderation” but it’s too good to waste. There — fixed it:
Oh, JulieAnnie. A hiring decision an*logy.
I feel a “Bernie Kerik moment” coming on!
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:07 pmCommunity organizer is hilarious apparantly. What were they chanting now?
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:07 pmRudi forgot to mention Barack Obama graduated from Harvard Law School, the top of his class. He also forgot to mention John McCain nearly failed the naval academy.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:08 pmOh no he didn’t! Don’t you dare dis Barack, you phuking coward!
PEACE
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:09 pmWow. There’s Cindy McBimbo in the audience again.
She’s hot! In a drug-addicted, anorexic sort of way, I mean.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:09 pmDidn’t Rudi spend MULTIPLE TENS OF MILLIONS of dollars and not get a single delegate? What are these people on? I thought they were sooooo anti-drug.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:10 pmNo, you don’t get to vote “present” as president. You just have to spend 450+ days clearing brush in Crawford.
NOTE to Cindy: you need some Rogaine
PEACE
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:10 pmThe last time Rudi lead his city in crisis, the damn city ended up hating the way he handled it.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:10 pmThey were chanting zero. Apparently the collective IQ of the audience.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:11 pmListen to the monkies howl!
I think they’ve forbidden Rudy from mentioning 9/11.
He’s using euphemisms.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:11 pmYeah Rudy you did a real good job of leading when you put the command center in the WTC after it had already been bombed once.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:11 pmrudi is making fun of y’all democracy.
Did you here some body say “a few years later” before this nut?
They aren’t sayin shit about the economy, our lives.
They are so shallow.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:11 pmIs that a pre- or post-9/11 NYC skyline on the big screen behind JulieAnnie?
Do you suppose his “big finish” will be a couple of 747s plowing into the screen?

September 3rd, 2008 at 10:12 pmSafe?
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:12 pmHow many executive decisions has McCain had to make. He’s never even had to pay a bill around the house.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:12 pmOne thing I’ll say about that crowd: They are some well fed white folks!
Kinda reminds me of veal…
PEACE
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:14 pmDoes reducing the government strengthen the dollar?
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:14 pmMcCain will bring about change. He’ll put the dumbest person ever one heartbeat away from the presidency. There’s change we can be afraid of.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:14 pmGiuliani says: “Expand free-trade”. AKA send more job overseas. Great idea Rethugican crooks.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:14 pmThe poor sheeple didn’t know how to respond to Rudy’s attempts at nuanced language.
NOTE to RUDY: Know your audience! They’s not smart enough to handle that big-city-talk.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:15 pmI’m betting not even a dead cat bounce from this in the polls.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:15 pmBristol looks so interested in what Rudy’s saying. She’s probably getting impatient to hand her kid off to his grandmother so she can go out and party with its father.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:15 pm“Drill, baby, drill” – was that Bristol’s line?
PEACE
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:15 pmMcCain can’t even tell us when he last pumped gas or how many houses he had, hell, he can’t even use the internet. He might be a contender if the election was held in 1870.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:16 pmCan somebody please interrupt and tell these people that this is exactly what we’ve been doing for 8 years and it hasn’t worked!

That’s hilarious! I was thinking the same thing, haha!
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:17 pmRudy had to pull out the fear card without saying 911 so he keeps saying Islamic terrorism instead. These Christian terrorist are more frightening to me. They’re the once that are leading us towards a war to regain our old country.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:17 pmI’m betting not even a dead cat bounce from this in the polls.
No bounce. Just a further decline. I hear a huge sucking sound.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:18 pmThey truly do seem to believe that W is a Democrat.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:18 pmAre they really clapping, or is the sound of their wattles slapping back and forth when they nod their heads… or just nod off…
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:18 pmCindy had to grab the baby so people wouldn’t see Bristol holding him.

They’ve been trying to suggest that subliminally for several months now.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:20 pmCan you tell me why they even need to have a 4 month old infant in the room. They can’t afford a sitter. Or they can’t pimp him out if nobody sees him.

September 3rd, 2008 at 10:20 pmAnd how the Hell does George Bush’s “accomplishment” of only allowing one terrorist attack, causing thousands of deaths, become praiseworthy? Need we really remind them that that’s one more terrorist attack, causing thousands of deaths, than his 42 predecessors combined?
And Flippy McSpin has eagerly enabled every disastrous response to that criminal act. Chimpy, McSpin, the GOP, and the idiots, including religious nuts, who worship them are the “greatest threat to our safety and way of life”. How the Hell do these cretins remember to breathe?
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:20 pmWell, either Rudy wins the gold medal in the “red meat tossing” competition or they finally got the APPLAUSE sign in the convention hall fixed.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:21 pmI love the boos! Oh wait. Maybe they are baaaas! Not one brain cell is firing in the whole joint.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:22 pmRudy says, “We are all Georgians.” and some bimbo from Atlanta starts cheering.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:22 pmWhat is this fool talking about? Vietnam was a lost war and mcchimpy ran for office.

This crowd is better suited for “Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader?” not listening to those big, east coast words.

September 3rd, 2008 at 10:24 pm“Maybe they cling to religion there?”
Well, Rudi that’s the PROBLEM.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:24 pmWhen did Barack say anything about Sarah’s home town. Oh, he didn’t. Rudy just pulled that out of his … Yeah Rudy, they don’t consider you a Christian either you moron.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:24 pmI wonder how much they paid for Bristol’;s makeup artist. Probably as much as an Edward’s haircut. Maybe they should have bought her a pack of birth control pills or at least condoms instead.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:26 pmClinging to religion? I want to ask Rudi how ‘religious’ is it to have an unwed underage daughter that is pregnant?
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:26 pmLook how close the state signs are. It like a column for each state. Fake ass.
stand up (harvey) bristol (Cream) please…that gonna be the finale.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:26 pmHow can someone reach adulthood without learning that Crusades are stupid, destructive, wasteful, evil, and just plain wrong to any, rational, person?
The 12th Century is alive and well at the RNC. I’m not a praying man but, I will take this opportunity to ask Jebus to please deliver us from the evil perpetrated in His name.
Heh! No answer.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:27 pmOh it would be priceless if Bristol started leaking milk right about now.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:27 pmParents should choose where their children should go to school. Or whether they should just quit and stay home and make about 5 babies instead.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:28 pmI can understand Giuliani, he keeps spitting into the mic.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:28 pmWell, I would say that Rudy has been effective in riling up the crowd. Entertaining speech, even if utterly devoid of fact.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:28 pm“The party that believes in giving workers the right to work”
BUT, he doesn’t mention which country those workers live in!

September 3rd, 2008 at 10:29 pmYeah. We’re all Georgians. We are all subject to a tin-horn dictator and Soviet style oppression.

September 3rd, 2008 at 10:29 pmThe same hardcore 20 percent that still support Bush are all at the convention, how nice!
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:29 pmShe doesn’t look nearly as cocky tonight as she did the other day when he announced her.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:31 pmAh, she let her hair down! Is there some symbolism with the liberty bell? They’re both cracked?
PEACE
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:31 pmBut she’s got some kind of pack in her back like W always had during debates. I guess she couldn’t figure out what some of the big words in her speech meant.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:31 pmMichelle Bimbo Bachmann — Sarah Failin’ Palin . . . separated at birth.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:31 pmWhy doesn’t she get just a little bit screechier?
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:32 pmShe doesn’t look nearly as cocky tonight as she did the other day when he announced her.
She’s been up all night cramming for the exam.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:33 pmThe “father” finally decided he could hold the baby. Funny how this is the first time. I thought that was Bristol’s job. Cindy probably told him Bristol couldn’t hold the baby any more.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:33 pmWhy doesn’t she get just a little bit screechier?
Not possible.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:34 pmI see they moved the gum chewin’, skinhead fiance out of Bristol’s camera shot.
It’s all about appearances.

September 3rd, 2008 at 10:34 pmThe “father” finally decided he could hold the baby.
Grampa is holding Trig. They don’t trust his father with him yet.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:35 pmI think that’s her kid with the shaved head. He’s too dumb to stand up without being told.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:35 pmFor everything, turn turn turn, there is a season, turn turn turn, and a time for every purpose under heaven.
I think she may owe the Birds a royalty payment.

September 3rd, 2008 at 10:36 pmPiper’s cute. She’s got that beauty queen wave done pat.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:37 pmI stand corrected. At least they got Track to spit out the gum!

September 3rd, 2008 at 10:39 pmAre we sure that she didn’t pimp Bristol out to some fat Senator to get the nomination? It’s plain she intends to use her precious family as a bludgeon from behind the podium. What a disgusting bleep!
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:40 pmNow I see why they cancelled the “bio film” . . . that’s all she’s got to talk about.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:40 pmIs this the Oscars?
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:40 pmdamn is the family together?
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:40 pmTodd got the Flag Pin Memo.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:40 pmBut the alleged father couldn’t stand up and take his bow without handing off the baby. Sure, big bad snow machine racer and fisherman can’t do two things at one time.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:41 pmjep them colors did hard work.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:41 pmHer father looks like Frank Perdue.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:41 pmWhen is she going to thank her agent and her publicist?
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:41 pmShe’s the average hockey mom. I wish she’d go puck herself.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:41 pmI am convinced. I have changed my mind. I am now ready to support Sarah Failin’ Palin for . . . .
. . . . “Miss Congeniality” of the United States of America.
U S A U S A U S A U S A
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:42 pmFargo?
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:42 pmWhen is she going to proclaim that it’s the duty of every American woman to churn out lots of “True Christian” children?
And when is she going to burst into flames for comparing herself to Harry Truman?
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:43 pmI wouldn’t want to be a critter in the woods when the Palins are around. Likely to get shot, run over, or covered in oil.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:43 pmOh how adorable, the little girl just spit on her hand to wipe down the baby’s hair. I don’t think she’s ever held him before.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:43 pmWhat was that?
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:43 pmSo she’s a Pitbull with lipstick? I’m not sure that’s a plus…
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:43 pmOh no she didn’t … she just dissed Obama big time.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:43 pmWell I think she’s licking her b@lls right now.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:44 pmGuess the avg IQ with that bunch.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:44 pmWhile adequate at giving a speech, she’s only one major revelation away from being “snow-machined” for a more-stable presence on the ticket.
What the hell is a snow machine anyway? A snow-blower? Or is it a bit Alaskan snobbishness, to to referto it as a snowmoblie, like the rest of us?
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:44 pmWas someone just escorted out? Did anyone see that?
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:44 pmJM is a sane man or same man?
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:45 pmIs this the Oscars?
If so, I sure hope the band will start playing soon and they get the hook out for this unctious, smarmy, shallow, vapid bimbo.
I think she’s done “socking it to the Harper Valley PTA”.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:45 pmMayor is like a community organizer, except with actual responsibilities.
Like firing non-loyalists, abusing power for personal vendettas, hiring lobbyists to get huge federal earmarks.
Is this the next generation of “it’s hard work”????
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:45 pmNow she’s insulting the media. Who is going to help her tomorrow?
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:45 pmYes they took out a protester I guess.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:46 pmNow, now, she was a full time PTA member, leave her alone.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:46 pmWhen this is all over I hope she can’t get a job as dog catcher.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:47 pmWas someone just escorted out? Did anyone see that?
Probably the token Democrat — the only one there with the good sense to get sick to his stomach.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:47 pmThe crowd doesn’t seem to be cheering so loud any more.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:47 pmYeah tb
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:47 pmI figured. I just saw it out of the corner of my eye and thought I might have missed something interesting.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:48 pmI just saw a “Palin Power” sign. Guess they were told that “White Power” wouldn’t look so good on the teevee.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:48 pmThe stupid trollop thinks we call her unqualified because she’s not an insider. Nope!
We call her unqualified because every word of her public record serves to prove that she will do everything in her power to impose a set of “family values” which has failed her own family and the children of our entire nation. And we don’t need another avowed Religious Crusader within a thousand miles of the chain of command.
Delusion=Disqualification
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:49 pmShe got rid of the luxury jet. Well isn’t that just special.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:49 pmNow she’s insulting the media. Who is going to help her tomorrow?
She’s beyond help. This juvenile pep-fest is her swan-song. Tomorrow, she’s road-kill just like McNumbNuts.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:49 pmI guess the truth is kryptonite to Sarah.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:50 pmspencers mom,
I’m surprised they didn’t have a sign there that said “Jesus Power”….hahah wow, how cheesy.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:50 pm“We have a surplus”
Yes, because you leveed a windfall profits tax on the oil companies. That’s not gonna fly with your “base”, Sarah!
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:51 pmI hope she knows that the US government owns all that line not Alaska. Even if she and her husband get independence for them.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:52 pmNormally I would not comment on appearances but it must just be the marine biologist in me… Why is her head/hair shaped like some sort of dorsal fin?
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:52 pmShe is lying, lying, lying, lying.
Turns out she’s throwing out the most red meat of the night. And the press and democrats will be “vetting” and disemboweling her in 5 . . . 4 . . . 3 . . . 2 . . . 1. . .
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:52 pmSarah, that pipeline is pumping oil that is being sold to Russia.
But, I guess with you being so close to Russia, you probably already knew that.
PEACE
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:52 pmWhat’s a “foreign suffier”?
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:53 pmWhy is her head/hair shaped like some sort of dorsal fin?
Did you forget? She’s “Barracuda Sarah”.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:53 pmIt doesn’t appear we’ll be hearing much about policy specifics. Except Drill Baby Drill.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:53 pmWe need to produce more of our own oil or gas. How about we start putting some refineries and nuclear waste storage facilities in your backyard lady.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:54 pmshe is a snide little “the sierra, the sierra” no nothing.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:54 pmAll it would take to put a gleam in her eye is to stick a flashlight in her ear.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:54 pmHas not authored a law, lie, lie, lie.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:55 pmLooks like someone got the memo.
-AF
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:56 pmAndrew Sullivan Is A Fraud
They don’t call her barracuda for nothing. Apparently she’s never heard Obama speak before.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:56 pmIt’s like a legal kkk rally.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:57 pmI don’t think she’s smart enough to know she’s lying.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:57 pmPoor thing. They didn’t even give her the latest talking points. Sorry. The crap that flew in 04 won’t work again.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:57 pmAnd McCain though Hillary was a b i t c h.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:58 pm“When the cloud of rhetoric is past”
. . . you and McNumbNuts will have nothing left to say, Failin’ Palin. That’s what.
What a vapid, glib, pathetic excuse for a VP candidate. I take back my support for her as “Miss Congeniality of the United States”. Now, let’s get on to the swim-suit competition.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:58 pmWhere’s Palin’s Harvard degree?
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:58 pmYou know they have an applause and a boo sign. I just saw them all react on cue.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:58 pmWhy haven’t the Republicans created one job in the last 8 years.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:59 pmGosh Shayne. Can you imagine her spewing this pap during a debate with Biden? Assuming she lasts that long.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:59 pmWhat a snike, lying, snarky little biitch. If she had anything to back up that mouth of hers, I might be impressed, in a forum posting kinda way.
PEACE
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:59 pmNext to abrasive in the dictionary there’s a picture of Sarah Barracuda.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:01 pmFrom the belittling rhetoric and petty criticisms, I guess she thinks she’s running for senior class VP.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:01 pmSeptember 3rd, 2008 at 11:01 pm
Shayne Says:
Why haven’t the Republicans created one job in the last 8 years.
Didn’t you catch Laura? She said her dear hubby has “created 50 million new jobs”. How will we ever learn how good they are for the country if we don’t believe what they say like good little sheeple?
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:01 pmI’d bet Biden is making notes right now Pete.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:02 pmShayne,
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:02 pmThat’s true.
The Republicans like to take credit for creating more jobs at McDonalds and Wendy’s. Watch out, those free marketeers!
I bet Sarah thinks that the Republican’s have the media’s attention every week. Just wait until the convention is over lady.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:02 pmIf she had anything to back up that mouth of hers
She does but she couldn’t get it past the metal detector.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:03 pmwas that the money shot?
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:04 pmAnd you are not “my fellow citizen” you lying little twat. You have proven yourself incapable of understanding what a citizen is.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:04 pmIf Hillary doesn’t come after this b i t c h with her brilliant rhetorical skills, it would be a wasted opportunity!
tbone, I agree. Sarah might just win Wasilla Junior Class Vice President!
PEACE
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:05 pmhe fought for us?
wasn’t eisenstein captured and loved the conditions so much he stayed an extra month?
Yeah I feel that way.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:05 pmPalin’s husband looks like the Christian right wing’s stereotypical image of Jesus Christ. Maybe, they’re trying to pull it off…
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:06 pmdbadass Says: Your comment is awaiting moderation.

I can’t watch this. When she turns her head that weird wedge head/hair thing scares me. Gotta go she’s starting a folksy “word that can not be said in any form” or something…. For god sake it is a literal device
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:06 pmHanoi – POW – Hanoi – POW, give me a break. There’s a lot of veterans who fought better and harder and longer and even those that were prisoners longer. Any one of them would have been too smart to pick this bimbo as his running mate.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:06 pmhogan’s heroes he’s not.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:06 pmSarah might just win Wasilla Junior Class Vice President!
I just hope she can get us some new vending machines in the cafeteria. That would really be cool!
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:07 pmOnly if she can stab somebody in the back will she get there.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:07 pmSo, let me get this straight, she’s qualified because McSpin is a POW?
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:08 pmnotice the fake flashing lights in the dark balcony.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:08 pmShe probably is right for the Vice Presidency, she’s as evil as Cheney is.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:08 pmShe did a good job. She easily cleared the hurdle, but then again, it was set for the limbo – not the high jump.
She has personality. It will be interesting to see how this goes.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:08 pmI agree with her last line: “Join our cause, and help elect a great man as the next president of the United States”
I guess they forgot to tell her to mention McStain’s name!
PEACE
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:09 pmNormally, I don’t actually hate people I’ve never met. Ms Palin is close to being an exception.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:09 pmColumns were too pretentious but that big freaking flag isn’t?
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:10 pmWho wrote her speech? Steve from Blue’s Clues?
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:10 pmSo grown up, he has to follow everything Obama did.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:11 pmI’ll give her this… she cringes and turns away when McStain tries to kiss her!
PEACE
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:11 pmAnd McSpin is thinking, “Don’t call her a c*nt. Don’t call her a c*nt…”
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:12 pmYou know what really bothers me?….
That poor Palin dad must feel like the biggest frickin’ tool right about now. His whole life is now thoroughly F uucked!
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:12 pmYeah. She came across a bit strong I think. Nothing but criticism and venom. That could be a problem for a first impression. We have no history of her personality to gauge her by.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:12 pmWhatever you do Sarah, don’t hold that baby!
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:12 pmnobody is clapping but there’s clapping? HAHAHAHAHA
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:13 pmThe essential message of this convention reminds me of something Joseph Goebbels would of put on in the media.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:13 pmWhat is that god awful instrument?
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:13 pmI missed it. what did mcchimpy say?
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:14 pmDavid Brooks disappoints again, “it’s been along time since Reps have had something to feel joyous about”.
If they are feeling joy over that speech? They are farther gone than I thought.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:14 pmThis is the last time you will ever see this snarky little twit in one piece. She has picked a fight she cannot win and isn’t up to. She will be eviscerated now that she has provided so many hooks to hang her from.
She has an obvious command of insults and attack phrases but I am virtually certain that she can and will not wear well once the gloves come off.
There should be no more talk about her family, her kids or her “questionable” fifth child. There’s more than enough material here to take her apart one limb at a time without that.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:14 pmMathews, “This has nothing to do with Hillary Clinton. This is a direct cultural shock towards Barack and Michelle Obama.”

Chris Matthews tried to say she’s like Norma Rae, but Keith slapped him down with “more like Tracy Flick in the movie ‘Election’.”
LMAO!!
PEACE
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:17 pmhow many tokens blacks were there?
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:17 pmI hope Obama and Biden take the gloves off now. She struck the first blow. And she’s not running for mother of the year she’s running for VP.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:17 pmI couldn’t agree more, tom. She proved that her previous public record is an indication of what to expect. A sniveling little attack poodle. It’s what she was, what she is, and all she will ever be.
With any luck, her increased exposure will serve to demonstrate just how bad the GOP is for the country.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:19 pmtbone Says:

September 3rd, 2008 at 11:23 pmDavid Brooks
Venom is right tbone. How far would any woman have gotten in the primaries spewing that venom. I wonder what Hillary thinks.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:23 pmWell, I’ve had enough cowboy hats, American flag shirts, and lying. That was fun but exhausting. I don’t know if I can take it tomorrow. I’m going to need more than 2 beers to get through McGrumpy.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:23 pmlipstick and pitbull bs is a very old joke.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:24 pmFailin’ Palin is certainly a legend in her own mind. I am now really looking forward to the VP debate. Biden will need to be prepared and direct and succinct . . . but he will eat this little attack poodle for lunch.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:26 pmI wonder if the NYPD brought Giuliani’s mistress to see him tonight?
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:27 pmOh, Rudy is being interviewed, and whether he realizes or not, he’s just slamming McCain time and again!
He said that Palin’s executive experience trumps the other ticket, and frankly makes up for Johh’s shortcomings. He also said that she has great domestic policy, and she’ll learn foreign policy and John will, too.
Josh Marshall over at TPM says that Rudy ran way over his time slot, so they didn’t have time to run Sarah’s bio. I think that by morning, the McStain campaign will realize that putting Rudy on teevee was a b-a-d choice.
Again, did anyone else notice that Palin, in saying “Join our cause, and help elect a great man as the next president of the United States” that she failed to mention McStain’s name???
PEACE
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:30 pmYeah I noticed that too. Her speech was kind of robotic though. Not very impressive.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:35 pmThese GOP talking heads are so freaking stupid, by their definition Palin is MORE QUALIFIED THAN McCAIN!
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:52 pmRepublican = Hypocrite
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:54 pmWow! I just read the transcript of her speech:
http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/09/03/hockey-mom-sarah-palin-comes-out-swinging/
The lies were so thick I missed more than a few. I think it’s apparent that she will cheerfully repeat anything some guy with a “Rev.” in front of his name, an (R) after it, or the voices in her head, want her to say.
That’s what makes her dangerous. She doesn’t Believe she’s lying so she may just keep hammering away regardless of how often she’s called out. And any psychochristian who can get past the thought of a woman with authority will parrot the lies in turn.
When one’s view of reality is based on self-delusion? Fantasy and fact become indistinguishable. The thought of Ms. Palin in the executive branch is profoundly frightening.
September 4th, 2008 at 12:38 amTonight I learned that:
September 4th, 2008 at 12:51 amWe owe our school desks to McCain dropping bombs on innocent civilians on the other side of the world (Huckleberry).
If we elect Democrats they will tell us how much to inflate our tires (Huckleberry).
Democrats will have our country held hostage to Chavez, Putin, and Ahmadinejad (Mittens).
Those from the eastern US are elitists (former Mass. governor Mittens).
The person being taken out of the arena was definitely Code Pink.
No speaker mentioned the current president nor vice president. Noone mentioned what our Pentagon intelligence has said is the greatest threat to peace in the future. (Hint: initials are GW or GCC)
Everyone said the problem is the country has just been too damn liberal the past 7 1/2 years! Stupid me, I thought it became more conservative after the 2000 election was stolen ten different ways from Sunday!
September 4th, 2008 at 12:58 am.

I believe they know they’re liars. Their philosophy is – it’s the truth until one gets caught in a lie or let’s project so one doesn’t have to talk about the real issues.
Sen. Biden could hardly contain himself from laughing (morning slow.)
This is crazy.
September 4th, 2008 at 8:27 amThis thread is indicative of all the bigotry and hatred on the left. One, there are a number of sexist comments here; two, there are a number of indecent comments here directed at her children, including, sadly, her baby.
You all stay here and continue to spin amongst yourselves with Keith Olbermann as your only beacon of light. KO, by the way, is the most outrightly partisan indidvual on tv.
Go on for now, I will be back in November to let you all know just how wrong you all were.
