Republican Peggy Noonan: It's Over!

Sweet Mary, mother of God, this Palin woman is the gift that just keeps on giving. I saw this on DailyKos and HuffPost, so I have to give both shout outs for posting this first.

Want to hear what powerful and respected conservative shills really think of McCain's Palin Problem? Here ya go:



Open mics are a bitch, just ask Jess. In case you can't hear them well here is a transcript:

Peggy Noonan: [Can't hear since Todd (who is still on air) is talking over her]
Mike 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.
Chuck Todd: Don’t you think the Palin pick was insulting to Kay Bailey Hutchinson, too (inaudible)
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.

Wow. Fucking. Wow. Can we call this game now? Really. I don't want to embarrass McCain any further and clearly he has some mental health care treatments to start. Beating up on an old man does give me a chubby, but thrashing a crazy old man? No fun there. Can't we at least get a standing eight count?

Hey, you wanna be Ambassador to France?

Update: Crooks and Liars also has this post. It's gone viral!! Since O isn't sure where this started I just wanted to spread the love. Asante sana, lefties for looking out for O. Much love to you and yours.

RNC 2008

I was going to blog a little about the RNC in the twin cities but I can't force myself to watch it. I have a weak stomach. I know that Fred "Grampa" Thompson, Judas Lieberman, and Dum W were supposed to speak tonight. I assume the basic gist of the night will be McCain-Noun-Verb-POW and Obama will eat your kids faces.

I am recording it on Tivo though. I want to see Bristol's baby's daddy. Some self-described redneck who on his MySpace page states he doesn't want kids. Fat chance now, dweeb. Too bad you didn't have a sex ed class in Podunk High. You could have tapped that ass and still been free to cruise. Now, a shotgun wedding to a girl who was just a piece of strange.

My heart goes out to a playa.

Piling on Sarah Palin

Asante sana, Seth Grahame-Smith for the 8 Reasons Sarah Palin is More Qualified than Barack Obama article in HuffPost. Much love to you and yours for making O howl with laughter.

A short, tasty morsel of his great piece:

So let's set the record straight. Sarah Pahlen (sp?) is not only more qualified for the Oval Office than Barack Obama -- she might just be the most qualified political candidate in our nation's history:

1. Putting Country First - Her membership in the Alaska Independence Party proves that she's exactly the kind of leader America needs: the kind that will always put country first -- even if that country happens to be The Republic of Alaska. Obama claims he loves America -- but has he ever loved it enough to favor seceding from it? It's called tough love, Senator. Look into it.

Please visit HuffPost to read the entire article. Rich.

Is This How McCain Makes Choices?

Yo, peeps. This Sarah Palin thing just keeps getting more and more twisted. On the real, I am thinking that the Mummy actually drew Palin's name out of a red and white striped top hat filled with five real names and one joke name to keep it interesting. Guess which one McCain drew?

Greg Sargent, of TalkingPointsMemo has a nice rundown of all the shit McCain has walked into 'cause he didn't vet 'ol girl. Please read it if you have a moment.

You can also keep an eye on Huffington Post's big Sarah Palin page. They keep it updated with the latest 411 on Sexy Sarah. The latest being that she belongs to a fringe Alaskan independence group that would like to take leave of the States.

Prayers for the Gulf Coast

Me, Misha and the girls keep everyone in the coast on our thoughts and prayers.

Sarah Palin: Cowardice or Insensitivity

Republican Vice Presidential Nominee Sarah Palin laughs as cancer survivor Senator Lyda Green of the Alaska State Senate is called a "bitch" and a "cancer" on "The Bob and Mark Show", a radio show on KWHL in Alaska. Palin was very aware of fellow Republican Green's battle with cancer.



If she can't stand up to radio talk show hosts how can she be expected to stand up to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad?

Scrubbing Sarah Palin

I am not certain how much vetting of Gov. Palin took place before the announcement that the Mummy selected her as his running mate, but it seems like a lot of clean up is taking place now. I wrote earlier about how a press release from her office praising my energy plan has vanished from her site. Now comes word that a video is missing that was previously there.

This one.

Yes, that is disgraced and indicted lawmaker Sen. Ted Stevens endorsing Sexy Sarah. 

There is also the Troopergate issue hanging over her head back home. Related to this she hired a know sexual harasser to replace the guy she fired for not doing her wet work. I am not going to even get into the question of whether her last child is actually hers or that of her 16 year old daughter as is being whispered on the inter-tubes. And she, or someone in her family, allegedly scrubbed her wikipedia entry to make it sound more positive and palatable to the wingnuts.

Republicans should be more than a little nervous about this pick blowing up in their faces.

Welcome to the bigs, Sarah Palin.

Obama: The Movie

O wanted to post this in case y'all missed it last night. This flik was done, I was told, by both Spielberg and Scorsese and was written by Paul Haggis and George Lucas. If you look closely you can spot cameos of Denzel, Pacino and Kira Knightly. It is a sweeping post-modern epic. Enjoy, young ones. My eyes make water when I see a thing of this beauty.



Make sure all of your friends and family see this. Make it viral, Obamabots.

Because Experience Counts

With the sad passing of John McCain's 'lack of experience' argument, of complications related to the selection of Sexy Sarah today, I wanted to share with you another time and place when experience was the buzzword of the day. Enjoy.

Sarah Loves Obama('s Energy Plan)

Seems that Sexy Sarah loved my energy plan earlier this month, but strangely it has disappeared from her website. Asante sana, DailyKos, for searching the inter-tubes for a cached version of her statement.

Love you too, Sarah.
