palin's stupid really buuurrrns

When the media criticizes her it violates her First Amendment rights.  Is this silly trollop for real?

Read for yourself.

"If [the media] convince enough voters that that is negative campaigning, for me to call Barack Obama out on his associations," Palin told host Chris Plante, "then I don't know what the future of our country would be in terms of First Amendment rights and our ability to ask questions without fear of attacks by the mainstream media."

Can't make this shit up.  Please vote against this crazy like a dumbass wingnut.  Seriously.... I got nothin'.

teh funny

see Sarah Palin pictures

Enough with the politics Chancelot.

palin:alaska still close to russia

This is almost too painful to read I'm glad I didn't watch it.  Of course, not as painful as watching the Mets fall apart, but at least I had Makers Mark to dull the pain.

COURIC: You've cited Alaska's proximity to Russia as part of your foreign policy experience. What did you mean by that?

PALIN: That Alaska has a very narrow maritime border between a foreign country, Russia, and on our other side, the land-- boundary that we have with-- Canada. It-- it's funny that a comment like that was-- kind of made to-- cari-- I don't know, you know? Reporters--

COURIC: Mock?

PALIN: Yeah, mocked, I guess that's the word, yeah.

COURIC: Explain to me why that enhances your foreign policy credentials.

PALIN: Well, it certainly does because our-- our next door neighbors are foreign countries. They're in the state that I am the executive of. And there in Russia--

COURIC: Have you ever been involved with any negotiations, for example, with the Russians?

PALIN: We have trade missions back and forth. We-- we do-- it's very important when you consider even national security issues with Russia as Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where-- where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border. It is-- from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right there. They are right next to-- to our state. 

if palin was my mommy

My name would be, Gravel Blood Palin.

questions hockeybullpitmom won't hear

From Katha Pollitt.

§ Suppose your 14-year-old daughter Willow is brutally raped in her bedroom by an intruder. She becomes pregnant and wants an abortion. Could you tell the parents of America why you think your child and their children should be forced by law to have their rapists' babies?

§ You say you don't believe global warming is man-made. Could you tell us what scientists you've spoken with or read who have led you to that conclusion? What do you think the 2,500 scientists of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change are getting wrong?

§ If you didn't try to fire Wasilla librarian Mary Ellen Baker over her refusal to consider censoring books, why did you try to fire her?

§ What is the European Union, and how does it function?

§ Forty-seven million Americans lack health insurance. John Goodman, who has advised McCain on healthcare, has proposed redefining them as covered because, he says, anyone can get care at an ER. Do you agree with him?

§ What is the function of the Federal Reserve?

§ Cindy and John McCain say you have experience in foreign affairs because Alaska is next to Russia. When did you last speak with Prime Minister Putin, and what did you talk about?

§ Approximately how old is the earth? Five thousand years? 10,000? 5 billion?

§ You are a big fan of President Bush, so why didn't you mention him even once in your convention speech?

§ McCain says cutting earmarks and waste will make up for revenues lost by making the tax cuts permanent. Experts say that won't wash. Balancing the Bush tax cuts plus new ones proposed by McCain would most likely mean cutting Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security. Which would you cut?

§ You're suing the federal government to have polar bears removed from the endangered species list, even as Alaska's northern coastal ice is melting and falling into the sea. Can you explain the science behind your decision?

§ You've suggested that God approves of the Iraq War and the Alaska pipeline. How do you know?

the pig in the poke: can we have our money back edition

I hope Biden asks her this question in the debate.  

• Alaska has a budget revenues of $13,559,800, $3,742,30 of which is Federal dollars. 
• 1 in 3 jobs in Alaska depend on Federal revenue.  
• Sarah Palin secured $27 million in earmarks while mayor of Wasilla. 
• Alaska is number one in per capita pork spending.

Will anyone ask the so-called pitbull hockey mom about why her state hates America and keeps taking Federal money. I doubt it because the press are essentially extentions of the Republicansand their wingnut buddies. I find this whole process demoralizing, after 8 years morontacracy we might elect the same people is astonishing.  

But fuck it, keep fighting. 

 

Keep talking to people and pointing out the mindless bullshit that mcsame and the hockeybullpitmom constantly throw out. Keep giving money, hell go volunteer, do something and if it doesn't work thenthe American people get what they deserve and you can tell them you tried.

23 lies and counting

Over at ThinkProgress they are keeping track of Palin's lies.

mcsame's vetting

HIL-FUCKING-LARIOUS!!!111?!

take me to the bridge

Palin might not be liar but she does have a bridge to sell you. In case you hadn't figured it out, I spent most of the speech yelling at the liar on the teevee, pissing HC off. It was a purely visceral reaction I literally could not stop from yelling at the dog whistles and bullshit. At one point I had to leave the room and listen to the juke box.(Yes, they had it on at the 7eo.)
Here is a brief list of key words and phrases from the speech and translation/explanation of what she meant.

• country first-unlike the pinko Dems.
  
• to the families of special needs children all across this country, I have a message for you. For years, you've sought to make America a more welcoming place for your sons and daughters.- except I cut funding for special needs children in Alaska by 62%.
  
• (About Obama) it's easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or even a reform- Because I can't use the intertubes, I actually believe this.
  
• I told the Congress "thanks, but no thanks," for that Bridge to Nowhere.- Already covered that.
  

• Our state budget is under control. We have a surplus.- Because her state is riding the rise in oil prices to artificicial wealth.

  
  

  That is your Repuplic party people. Enjoy it while you can.

  
  

  Update: AP has a less snarky rundown of the bullshit.

  
  

palinfacts

New site is awesome. Here are some tidbits.

We don’t know who would win in a Chuck Norris - Sarah Palin cage match because they’ve never invented a cage that can hold Sarah Palin.

Alaska is the 49th state solely because they knew even before she was born that Sarah Palin would never finish last.

Global Warming doesn’t kill polar bears. Sarah Palin does - usually with her bare hands.

Three of Sarah Palin’s five kids came out sideways - she never flinched.

Sarah Palin’s hotness is the largest single contributor to melting polar ice caps.

It’s not raining in DC. Those are God’s tears of joy that McCain picked Sarah Palin.
