Tonight it’s five bucks for a $5.75 show.
Cone of silence.
This is asinine.
Sarah Palin in New York meeting with world luminaries, glistening and tarnished. I can’t believe this crap. At first, the McCain campaign (Insane in the Membrane), insisted no reporters be allowed to accompany the cameras. When the networks balked, they relented, but any questions or participation were strictly forbidden.
They’re so afraid she’ll spell potato with an ‘E’.
Not only is it insulting and unprecedented, it’s quite possibly sexist.
Since when is the press prevented from asking a single question of a candidate who would be President in a matter of months?
How can anyone possibly trust this ticket, much less it’s choice for Assistant Manager?
Now we learn that she allowed for a twenty four million dollar road to be built to the bridge to nowhere that was never built. It’s literally a dead end. A sign at the beginning says “No Outlet”. I understand the contract for the road was signed before What’s Her Name took office. Despite that, it’s enormously difficult to believe that a sitting Governor could not prevent the construction of a twenty four million dollar road that would serve no purpose whatsoever.
There’s even a paid employee to collect tolls on the road to abruptness. A road no one uses because it terminates at no actual destination.
How does three miles of asphalt cost twenty four million?
What did she do with the other couple hundred million?
Sheezus.
I am so sick of watching what was once the largesse of America’s middle class being squandered to increase the larders of those who don’t need it or deserve it. Again, to be fair, Democrats are nearly as guilty as their counterparts.
“ANCHORAGE, Alaska (CNN) — The legislative investigation into Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s firing of her public safety commissioner needs to go ahead despite the increasingly heated opposition of the McCain-Palin campaign, a leading Republican said Tuesday.
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is being investigated for the possibly improper firing of a state official.
Since becoming the Republican vice presidential candidate in August, Palin has halted her previously promised cooperation with the Legislature’s investigation of the July dismissal of Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan.”
Yeah, I just puked in my mouth a little.
I said before, can’t see her when she turns sideways because she’s two dimensional.
It’s interesting. Tonight I was talking to a very close, old friend on the phone. You bond when you make records together.
Anyway, we arrived at what is perhaps the most important difference between Republicans and Democrats. Harry Reid, US Senate Majority Leader and a family friend; his first bid for the Senate was my first campaign. I was nine. He’s really disappointed and pissed me off since he became Majority Leader. My friend mentioned Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House, and shared similiar disdain. We were in agreement.
Even our own cross lines we’re not comfortable with. They screw the pooch and they know it. We let them know.
Therein lies the rub. Republicans march in identical boots. They are far less likely to objectively evaluate legitimate criticism and even less able to actually oppose anyone belonging to the party. It’s infantile. Handicapped. Irresponsibly unconditional. Whores on crack.
The very foundation of their entire belief system is built with bricks of compliance, obedience and and a brand of piety as mortar that is potent and toxic and very strong.
Hardcore Republican Bible abusers are America’s biggest cult. The world’s most notorious and effective terrorists.
Fuck me, I just called religous folks terrorists.
But, um, yeah. Catholic vs. Protestant. Christian vs. Muslim. All of them against gays and half of them not affording women equality. It’s gone on for far too long.
The shit we get away with in the name of Christianity is astounding. The term Bible is intended more generically here. I’m talking about it’s ubiquity. Any religion that views a single tome as it’s covenant to judge and chastise the world because the bible tells them so is goddamn foolish. Fucked in the head.
Forgive the tangent but at least it’s germane. I’m thinking it’s time for a new nickname. Sarah The Pagan? A Pentecostal for thirty four of her first thirty eight years. I don’t claim to understand this particular theological bent but I know enough to tell you it can get pretty weird. They speak in tongues.
Pundits have been saying for weeks that we need to stop paying so much attention. She’s not worth it. She’s a distraction. That’s all true. Until today. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, as of today, she is meat. She’s been the GOP VP nominee for how many weeks now and she still hasn’t answered a single question?
Rick Plank says: Fuck that shit.
There was one interview. Charlie Gibson looking professorial and Ben Franklinesque. Pretty revealing. He wasn’t throwing softballs and allowed her to make a fool of herself. It was too subtle for the great unwashed as He probably had to leave his penis at home on a condition set by Doubtfire. I’m guessing he was angry he didn’t have his penis. He had yard after yard of muscular coils of rope for her to gag on.
Now that’s fucking sexist, bitch!
She showed up on Hannity. Anyone who would reference her performance at that venue in a positive way would have to be a complete shitsmear. Seriously people, don’t be trying to bring that kinda shiznit for my nizzle. I can’t believe I just wrote that. Wonder if I’ll leave it. You may never know.
I’ve decided to leave it to discourage you from taking me too seriously. I am not an Atomic Playboy. I do not fraternize with women of ill repute. There’s a decent chance I know things you don’t. That’s not to say you don’t know things I’m completely unaware of.
Stay with me. Stay on the motherfucker.
Drinks for my friends.
And considering the worst issue to affect most of us, the economic debacle: knowing that it was Wall Street that screwed Main Street (and we Main Streeters will have to burden the load obviously), doesn’t it stand to reason that we should rally and hold them accountable? Taxing their greedy asses would be a fair start. I can only think of one way to do that.
Something that struck me funny…and later made me very uncomfortable…was how Palin was touchy-feely and kissing Kissinger yesterday. On one hand she wants the sex card off of the table and to be treated like the other candidates, but she looked like an ignorant bimbo, clueless to decorum, with the dignataries yesterday (i.e. meeting with Muslim heads of State with a skirt and showing more skin than anyone else in the room).
As for what came out of her mouth in the hush hush meetings is anyone’s guess.
Come to think of it, I just can’t picture Obama wearing a tank top and kissing Kissinger. Maybe petty, but bothered me nonetheless.
You know, what the hell??? Palin won’t answer questions, and now McCain doesn’t want to debate. My Republican friend seems to think this is perfectly acceptable behavior for Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates and that the only people who even care about this evasive line are people like us fruity frilly liberals here in CA who don’t matter to their campaign anyway. Someone, please, prove him wrong!
And JK, you’ve got to be kidding me. I usually read my news, so I didn’t see pictures. She actually met with Muslim heads of state in one of her short little skirts? She planted a smooch on KISSINGER??? Isn’t there anyone out there even attempting to prevent this kind of clueless and utterly embarrassing behavior??
I see concrete. I think I’ll go bang my head against it.
Admin, give me a shot of Stoli. Leave the bottle.
Will do!
