Another post worth reading at Mudflats, this one on the infamous Bridge to Nowhere. I don’t think the McCain campaign understands how information travels in the current age of online communication. See also Frank Rich’s column in today’s Times.

Wow. That Mudflats article reads like a cross between Northern Exposure and The Sopranos.

Does Tina Fey hunt caribouses? Does she eat moose lips?

On the didactic pedantic pet peave front your mispelling the plural of caribou there Ripley. One caribou two caribim.

Dear Lesley

I clicked the link in the original post to images of Sabine Ehrenfeld (warning Gavin’s link was generated with safe search off and it might not be work safe if your boss would be seriously irritated to find you uhm exited at work) so I knew that the woman in the first pick is Sabine Ehrenfeld. However, I didn’t know for sure that she had ever had the misfortune to appear on powerline until I saw the screen capture.

Oh man this David Lunde dude looks like some fun. If I were Amy Alkon I’d be seriously relieved (and not at all transsexual, not one little bit. I mean if I were born Amy Alkon)

Head Maverick Wrangler: We need to flip narrative on the Maverick/Maverique selection process now! This is getting out of hand. Get on the horn with the Post right this minute!

[The article is totally fucking awesome for all the wrong reasons. My favorite part is the scene at McCain's "ranch" in Sedona, AZ, which is now a "retreat."]

After reading the review of Confederacy of Dunces that I just linked to, I realized that these wingers we make fun of at S,N! are all clones of Ignatius J. Reilly, only with broadband and Cheetos instead of Big Chief writing tablets and Dr. Nut cola.

Definitely. BTW, I stopped reading that book a little after 100 pages because I got so sick of Ignatius’s narcissistic whinings that I felt like the rest of it was not worth reading.

It’s clear the wingnuts have suddenly contracted Hepburn-mania for some reason.

Audrey is easy enough to understand: Audrey Hepburn (another woman who was far more beautiful than Palin btw) was in My Fair Lady. In MFL, a much older, smarter, richer man takes a poor cockney maid, transforms her into a beautiful society belle…

And treats her like shit.

To quote my mother, who would never vote for John McCain:

Does he think he’ll get women this way? I’m insulted. Does he think women are idiots?

Sadly, Yes!

Over on the Gay Patriot thread, Palin is being linked to Audrey Hepburn’s hairdo.

On this thread, she’s linked to Rooster Cogburn, which leads to thoughts of Katherine Hepburn.

It’s clear the wingnuts have suddenly contracted Hepburn-mania for some reason. But if you ask me, I think they need to pick a Hepburn. Perhaps they can vote on this at the convention.

Buddah: it’s pet peeve.

Er, um, that sould be “Buddha.” Whoopsie!

It should be ‘ur,’ as in ‘ur doin it wrong.’

Come to think of it, I’ll change it right now.

Gavin: Also David, not sucking — your doin it wrong.

Me: Speaking of not sucking, it’s “you’re”. Sorry, pet peave.

Buddah: it’s pet peeve.

Me: Oops, spelling flame gets flamed. The dangers of being didactic.

Only when you’re flaming someone for a spelling mistake.

(Or is it “only when your flaming…”?)

PS: Gavin, at the risk of being a “hippocrit,” I must ask why you haven’t corrected that “your” yet? Trying to bait didactic pedantic right-wingers?
