The fact is, I’m concerned that she is concerned.

You forget to mention Megan also apparently believes Trig Palin is the son of Bristol, not Sarah.
And that Sarah lying in public, committing fraud with a birth certificate, and wearing a fat suit in public for months, are all noble deeds.

I’m confused. Has a spermatozoa ever even entered McArdle? When and how drunk was it?

I’m concerned for Lemony Snickets. That giant elf is about to pounce!

Has a spermatozoa ever even entered McArdle?

Dude. C’mon.

actor212 just simultaneously won and lost the thread at the same time.

Ah, it’s OK…it’s nice to know I was considered.

It does not make sense that the least qualified writer at The Atlantic takes umbrage with folks twitting the least qualified VP candidate.

I agree with Megan. We need to stop mentioning the fact that abstinence-only, pro-teaching-of-creationism-in-schools advocate Sarah Palin’s daughter, 17-year old unmarried Bristol Myers Palin, is pregnant for perhaps the first or second time due to having had premarital sex with 17-year-old hockey goon and self-confessed “fucking redneck” Levi Strauss Johnston. It only hurts Obama’s chances in November. Really.

Slightly off-thread, but the fact is, what the hell is she standing next to in that picture??? The fact is, I find that imagery disturbing.

It looks like a silhouette by Kara Walker.

Wonder if McCain has called Rove already.

“I told you Lieberman was the right pick!”

Yo Meg.
Didn’t the protector of all children on earth, Bill O’Reilly, say parents of teenagers who get pregnant are “pinheads”. I know he used the term when talking about that Spears girl who got knocked up.

So how does this differ?

abstinence-only, pro-teaching-of-creationism-in-schools advocate Sarah Palin

You left off “Pro-Treason-In-Defense-of-Oil-Drilling secessionist” and “library-book-banning”.

What is this “The Atlantic” that you speak of? There used to be an informed comment magazine by that name, but I thought they folded due to an inability to find writers who’s crania were not inserted in their rectae.

It’s a constructed scene. I forget whether the Kara Walker silhouette was in the original photo, or whether I added it.

“I told you Lieberman was the right pick!”

Shouldn’t that be “prick”?

LittlePig Says:

“I told you Lieberman was the right pick!”

And Rove replied, “He sure was. Heh, heh, heh. I’ve always hated you, McCain.”

A petty, selfish part of me wishes that was the reason.

Can horses vote?

Somehow I doubt Megan McBornOnThirdBase was ever going to vote for a Democrat anyhow.

Gramps McCain, proud nominee of the “Let Them Eat Cake” party, is much more her speed.

Holy Shit.. have y’all seen that exhibit?

It’s perfect for McArdle. Genius, Gavin!

“I told you Lieberman was the right pick!”

I wonder if David Brooks is over the Palin-induced migraine he no doubt had after McCain introduced his choice. What a shock it must have been for him, after blathering on at the Democratic Convention about how McCain really, really needed Joe Lieberman now, with Biden on the ticket. Why, to choose Holy Joe was McCain’s only chance!

I’ll bet Brooks sobbed into his pillow when he heard the news. “Why, oh why, do they never listen to me?” David cried, raining tears down onto his 450 thread count pillow slip.

I really like this image. I like it so much I don’t think I’m even going to check to see what he’s saying about Palin for reals.

Hell, that’s a pretty good theory. Rover isn’t too fond of John Sidney. That strikes me as a ‘setting up for 2012’ Rove-type ploy.

“Didn’t the protector of all children on earth, Bill O’Reilly, say parents of teenagers who get pregnant are “pinheads”. I know he used the term when talking about that Spears girl who got knocked up.

Umm…because Spears is part of the liberal and immoral Hollywood elite and thus unworthy to even carry a child. Palin and her daughter are moral, spiritual salt-of-the-earth types whose morals are beyond reproach. You are simply demonstrating your ignorance by trying to compare the two, and besmirching the honor and virginal qualities of the Palin girl.

Joe Lieberman: For when you need a complete sellout whore to make yourself look like a centrist!

I can’t believe Lieberman is speaking at the RNC. Doesn’t the Democratic party have some kind of procedure for kicking people out of the party? Come ON.

I just want to know:

How did the GOP find a power-abusing, secessionist, creationist, book-burning, pentecostal, abstinence promoting, governor who’s suing the US to have polar bears removed from the endangered species list and has with an unwed pregnant teenage daughter dating a guy named after the inventor of blue-jeans?

It’s like she was made for them.

.

SP47: Joe LIE-berman already kicked his own self out. He’s in the “I” category now.

Candy – the fact is, 450 thread count is not enough. The fact is, my Donna Karan sheets are 800 thread count.

SockPuppet47:

Yep, it’s called a primary. Lieberman lost his and was effectively kicked out of the party in 2006.

.

“Didn’t the protector of all children on earth, Bill O’Reilly, say parents of teenagers who get pregnant are “pinheads”. I know he used the term when talking about that Spears girl who got knocked up.

Because Spears is a broken child of the liberal and immoral Hollywood elite and thus worthy of scorn and disgrace. She is also unworthy of carrying a child. Conversely, Palin and Bristol are upstanding and spiritual salt-of-the-earth women whose morals are beyond reporach. Even trying to compare the two unwed, young women shows not only your ignorance, but your shamelessness as you are willing to resort to attacking Bristol Palin’s virginal innocence. Shame on you.

Because Sarah Palin is a social conservative and therefore a hypocrite? About what? Which social conservatives guarantee that raising your children with good values will prevent them from getting pregnant? Indeed, I believe that’s why they want to make the rest of us watch G movies–because they think society has effects on people.

Is this serious? After all the lecturing by the right about how teaching young people about contraception and having them tell us — the nation — about how effective abstinence only and Christian-centered learning are more effective… It’s come down to stupid libertarians barking that ‘buh buh buh wayull you dum Dimcraps, no wun sed it wud be 100 pursint perfek…’

It’s like, how, after you lobby for years against the teaching of physics in high school, and prat about instead of the morality & effectiveness of a cartoon-based method of understanding mechanical motion, and then one day…

No, this is just sad. I’m not even pretending to argue with such a vapid nimrod.

Well thank god for small mercies. I still think that if Gore had chosen someone who was less of a zionist rent boy as veep, he would have got in, and the world would have been spared 8 years of misery.

Well, to be precise, MzNicky, the good and noble Democrats of Conn kicked Joe out of the party.
Then the Repubs and zionists in the state re-elected him.

@ JGabriel – the fact is, that is some good snark right there!

I am convinced this is mcmegan’s attempt to catch the eye of the one she loves most, bobo brooks.

No doubt both of them are cashing nice checks this week.

And by the way, she’s a terrible writer.

Did you see that Richard Cohen blew a gasket over the Palin pick in the WaPo today?

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/01/AR2008090101715.html?hpid%3Dopinionsbox1&sub=AR

John McCain’s selection of Palin, which I first viewed with horror, could now be seen in a different light. Based on various television interviews over the Labor Day weekend — and a careful reading of the transcripts — it is possible that this is McCain’s attempt to make fools of his fellow Republicans. He has succeeded beyond all expectations.

Yep, it’s called a primary. Lieberman lost his and was effectively kicked out of the party in 2006.

But he talked his gullible friends in the Senate into letting him back in.

Oh yeah, I remember 2006 now. My apologies, I am a little too fermented to sweat the details at the moment.

God I hate Lieberman.

But I think the thing to keep in mind about Palin.. She was supposed to be a “safe” choice. Yet, she has brought nothing but controversy. Mcain is trying to win this one by painting Obama as the risky option, and himself as the safe, middle of the road, reliable ol’ standby. Palin pisses all over that image, by making Mcain look like a man that makes poor decisions on the spur of the moment, and projecting the Palins controversy onto Mcain, and the whole Republican party.

She was supposed to be an unobjectionable running mate who would solidify the base, appeal to the religious nutters, and being female, be “mavericky” in a totally unchallenging way.

Instead, we have someone as flawed and laughable as Mcain himself.

Love the Kara Walker visual quote….

Alternate even shorter Megan McCurdled: I can’t handle the truth!

Truer than you know. There’s a cloning factory in Alaska developing them as we speak. I understand the next model is black and male.

Sarah Palin’s so-called “problems” are a bunch of LIE-brul lies. They only prove how ordinary she is. Most Americans have faced unwed children, proof of lying, pandering, etc.

But the REAL proof of just how in touch with the Heartland she is will be when she gets indicted on influence peddling and other governmental interference charges. That will probably make her the MOST ordinary VP candidate ever.

And one that every right-thinking American MUST embrace … or else they are poopyheads.

I’m not mentioning the polls this week because shut up that’s why.

are you sure that’s Megan and not a dowdied-up Marcia Gay Harden. Is Gavin pulling a Tina Fay again?

Sorry for the quick take – I’m at work, haven’t checked the comments to see if this’s already benn pointed out, but Miss Alaska’s in the cover of US Weekly (that’s ‘US’ as in ‘you and me,’ not ‘US’ as in ‘USA! USA!’

Stupid liberal media.

Well, it will make her the most ordinary Republican candidate ever. And I have to say, the link to Abramoff (she hired one of his associates as a lobbyist when she was Mayor) is a nice touch. The gift that keeps on giving.

Oops.

Hey, all ordinary Americans hire lobbyists. We can identify with that.

Fuck you, Megan.

It’s like she was made for them.

JGabriel, that was a masterpiece.

This one by r€nato still holds the title for Best Comment Evar, IMO, but yours was damn good.

Now Megan is claiming the scattered violence of Monday justifies the raids on protest groups that took place over the weekend.
She’s just plain ole dumb.

Love the US Weekly cover.

Question – anyone else remember a VP choice going so disasterously wrong so quickly?

Eagleton? Wikipeadia has this:

Having been declined by the “name” Senators, McGovern turned to lesser-known candidates, and Eagleton, who had opposed the Vietnam War, was selected on July 14 with only a minimal background check. Eagleton made no mention of his earlier hospitalizations. Newspapers soon revealed them. McGovern and Eagleton initially joked about the case with Eagleton saying he would undergo a psychiatric examination if other candidates (e.g., Nixon) would do the same. But the charges kept coming. Columnist Jack Anderson wrote a column falsely accusing Eagleton of being arrested for drunk driving — a charge that Anderson had to retract.

McGovern said he would back Eagleton “1000%”, but on August 1, Eagleton withdrew at McGovern’s request and, after new search by McGovern, was replaced by Kennedy in-law Sargent Shriver.

Found another item that said Eagleton dropped out after 18 days, but can’t verify its accuracy. Anyone know for sure?

Megan’s parental units told her she was cute and charming and she really took it to heart. You can tell she thinks every thing she says and does is simply adorable.

The fact is, #dontgo!

Megan’s post reflects that she has spent an extremely large amount of time reading everything posted on the internet about Sarah Palin and her daughter. Interesting actions from someone claiming to be both appalled by and above it all.

Now McCain won’t go on Larry King because someone from CNN was mean to someone from his campaign yesterday.

If John McCain won’t stand up to Larry King, how can he stand up to the terrorists?

Larry fucking King. Holee shit, man, this just gets better and better.

Megan’s post reflects that she has spent an extremely large amount of time reading everything posted on the internet about Sarah Palin and her daughter. Interesting actions from someone claiming to be both appalled by and above it all.

Research! I bet she also googles her name and reads everything that mentions her. Hi, MEgan!

My friends, I see a disturbing pattern developing in the commernt threads of these here Traditional Internets.Many are saying “Let the Alaskans go independent!We would be well rid of these redneck hicks!”.
My friends,this is not a change we can afford.Consider…
Day 1-Alaska declares independence.
Day 2-Thousands of T-90 tanks,BMP personnel carriers and Spetznaz troopers mounted on brain-implant polar bears (courtesy of CODENAME:BARRACUDA & the rest of the AIP cell) sweep thru the Bering tunnel and occupy the abandoned US bases…

Day 7-A random Sadlynaut wakes up,goes to the window,throws open the curtains to behold..1200lbs OF RAVENOUS CARNIVORE under the complete control of a Red commando!! It’ll be Berlin’45 all over again!No man,woman or daschund will be safe!
And as for that taking a plane-ride-while-in-labour fairytale..that wasn’t amniotic fluid-IT WAS POLONIUM!!!!111!!

Palin is a perfect storm:

Unqualified, for the wonks.

Rabid fundie, for the humanitarians.

Rabid fundie whose personal scandal makes the fundies mad because now they look like fools, for the fundies.

A ridiculous figure, for the talking heads who have to try and make this into a silk purse.

A hypocritical anti-feminist, for the Hillary voters.

A cruelty-to-animals proponent, a bonus for the humanitarians.

A climate change denier, for the environmentalists.

Is there any group McCain has failed to insult with this pick?

At least there’s no homosexuals in the Palin family ……….. that we know of. That’s the specialty of Idaho anti-gay Republicans, not Alaskan anti-gay Republicans.

The “family values” minions are reaping what they sowed. Sorry for the pun.

Boo fucking hoo.

Under no circumstances should Sarah Palin be attacked PERSONALLY. She is 100% allowed to be who she is – it’s not her fault that she’s been picked – it’s John McCain’s.

She may have abused power in “Troopergate.”
She fired a Police Chief and Librarian for not supporting her. (The librarian was rehired the P.C. settled out of court.)
She didn’t teach her daughter about birth control (and if President would not want your daughter taught).
She’s anti-choice, even in the cases of rape and incest.
She and her husband were members of an Alaskan separatist party. The leader of which said: “The fires of Hell are glaciers compared to my hate for the American Government.”
She asked her librarian, “How do you ban books.”
Etc. etc.

The “Straight Talk Express” on John McCain’s campaign is clear and straightforward:

I, John McCain, am not fit to lead this great nation.

Is there any group McCain has failed to insult with this pick?

You did leave out “people who don’t think a woman should be president.” Who do those folks generally vote for again?

It does not make sense that the least qualified writer at The Atlantic takes umbrage with folks twitting the least qualified VP candidate.

And here we see the brilliance of McCain’s choice. Throughout America, unqualified half-assed disappointments like Meagan are recognizing Palin as one of their own, and in defending her they are uniting in a mighty Legion of Losers that on election night will crush all that stands in its path!

Or maybe they’ll just stay home and pick their noses.

Oh, there is one group happy with Mcain’s pick.

The “small government” lot

It is like hiring Ned Ludd as a computer repairman.

The more fucked up the elected representatives get, the sooner we get back to 1850. And some people couldn’t be happier with that prospect.

Teen pregnancy is just a distraction. I tihnk the Gov. needs to answer questions about her and the AIP’s role in this little adventure.

The fact is, has anyone else noticed that McCain’s spokeboy Tucker Bounds sounds a lot like Mister Mackey?

She does sort of look like the Baroness with a bad dye job.

My God, it just doesn’t end:

Palin Slashed Funding for Teen Moms

“Tommy Lasorda there. He’s gotta learn to relax.“

Well, this was certainly unexpected. Failed CEO Carly Fiorina sez any criticism of Sarah Palin is sexist. I shit you not.

“I am appalled by the Obama campaign’s attempts to belittle Governor Sarah Palin’s experience,” said Fiorina. “The facts are that Sarah Palin has made more executive decisions as a Mayor and Governor than Barack Obama has made in his life.

“Because of Hillary Clinton’s historic run for the Presidency and the treatment she received, American women are more highly tuned than ever to recognize and decry sexism in all its forms. They will not tolerate sexist treatment of Governor Palin.”

I know being a surrogate half-wit means you have to turn off many parts of your brain, but shit. You can’t possibly believe this.

Megan is merely a sane version of me. Well, saner than me, if not actually sane. But I was accosting people on sidewalks way before she ever thought of it. That’s why I’m the Advice Goddess ™.

Did she name any? One, even? Hol’ up, did she say “the facts are”? HOLY CRAP CARLY FIORINA IS GARY RUPPERT!!!

!

“I am appalled by the Obama campaign’s attempts to belittle Governor Sarah Palin’s experience,” said Fiorina.

Well look: Alaska did not secede. FAIL.

Question (unanswered elsewhere) — where are these polls showing 80% approval for Palin in Alaksa? Why can’t I fi nd a single news story about any of these before Friday? Did someone pull THAT # out of their ass? I’d like to see what it will be this week.

Experience doesn’t count if all you did was run your company or state into the ground. Take note, Fiorina and Palin.

“I am appalled by the Obama campaign’s attempts to belittle Governor Sarah Palin’s experience,” said Fiorina.

We’re NOT belittling Palin’s experience.

We are mercilessly mocking and deriding it. And her judgement.

There is a distinction, you know.

The fact is, Helen Chenoweth II: The Wassila-ing.

Glass Houses [Southern Poverty Law Center]

Helen Chenoweth, 62

Remarkably, the militia movement of the 1990s found many defenders in public office around the country, especially county officials and sheriffs in the western states.

But none were so high-ranking as Republican Helen Chenoweth, the three-term Idaho congresswoman who became famous as the “poster girl for the militia movement.”

Elected during the “Republican Revolution” of 1994, Chenoweth wasted little time before outraging many. She defended Samuel Sherwood, a key militia leader, after he was quoted saying, “Go up and look your legislators in the face, because one day you may be forced to blow it off.” She proposed a bill to strip federal agents of their arrest powers without prior consent by local officials.

A bitter opponent of environmentalists, she said it was “the white, Anglo-Saxon male” who was truly endangered. She explained that the reason that Idaho has few minority residents is “the warm-climate community just hasn’t found the colder climate that attractive.”

And she angrily attacked President Clinton during the Monica Lewinksy scandal, saying, “Personal conduct does count.”

Then came a revelation: Chenoweth had herself carried on an affair with a married man for six years. It was a relationship, she conceded, that she “came to regret” — but she insisted that it was different from Clinton’s affair, as it had predated her election.

But, but, but, um, Bill Ayers!

Let’s, for a moment, set aside the rampant intellectual dishonesty and sophistry that has characterized Megan McArdle’s work as both an amateur and professional blogger the last seven years and just savor the fact she’s so willing to prove, over and over again, just how completely fucking crazy and unbalanced she is.

Under normal circumstances one would feel great pity for this maniac, but she’s also such an arrogant blowhard, and so completely unapologetic for all her intellectual dishonesty and sophistry, that mocking her is really, seriously, the only rational response necessary to all her nutty babbling.

the Obama campaign’s attempts to belittle Governor Sarah Palin’s experience […] more executive decisions as a Mayor and Governor …
It is refreshing to see that no-one here is belittling Palin’s experience or decisions. If anything, people are calling attention to her decisions.

Palin Slashed Funding for Teen Moms

Especially that one.

“The more scandals, lies, crimes, and failures that Sarah has, the more she is suited to be the VP. This is so obvious to any patriotic American that if you don’t understand it intuitively, you are an un American traitor!”

Just where is young Levi right now? If he aint in GOP seclusion theres a good chance he could run into a tabloid journo with cold cash on the hip saying something like “It’s all the Palin side of the story..but what about Levi? Dont you deserve something out of all this? Now your story is worth a pile,but if you can give full disclosure on the Palins we would be talking REAL money…what kind of things you say? Well just what kind of relationship do Sarah & Bristol have? Any screaming matches,that kind of thing? Daddy Palin-he ever play away with another woman? Now the more info you can give the more money we can pay-but see this opportunity can be over tomorrow if McCain reverses himself. Your story would then be worthless to us. So..the clocks ticking Levi. What do you say? Can we do business?”
Just how would a hip young glibertarian solve Levi’s dilemma

God Damn America!!!

The founder of the Alaska Independence Party — a group that has been courted over the years by Sarah Palin, and one her husband was a member of for roughly seven years — once professed his “hatred for the American government” and cursed the American flag as a “damn flag.”

The AIP founder, Joe Vogler, made the comments in 1991, in an interview that’s now housed at the Oral History Program in the Rasmuson Library at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks.

“The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government,” Vogler said in the interview, in which he talked extensively about his desire for Alaskan succession, the key goal of the AIP.

“And I won’t be buried under their damn flag,” Vogler continued in the interview, which also touched on his disappointment with the American judicial system. “I’ll be buried in Dawson. And when Alaska is an independent nation they can bring my bones home.”,/blockquote>

http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/09/aip_founder_professed_hatred_f.php

The fact is, shut up. Biden is a plagarist. Clinton got a blow job.

“The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government,” Vogler said in the interview

The horns of unicorns are popsicles compared to my fear of radishes.

Because Sarah Palin lied about sex?

Because Sarah Palin is a social conservative and therefore a hypocrite?

Because, lighten up, Francis.

The founder of the Alaska Independence Party professed his hatred for the American government and cursed the ‘damn flag’.

It’s a bumper crop of ponies!

is it too late to place a bet on Palin getting the boot at In-Trade?

“The facts are that Sarah Palin has made more executive decisions as a Mayor and Governor than Barack Obama has made in his life.

Indeedly do! there was that time that she approved the Department of Public Works’ request for a third forklift! Then there was the time she vetoed the new billboard ordinance proposed by the City Council. And don’t let’s forget the time she raised parking violation fees.

how can we belittle someone’s executive experience when no one has told us anything she actually did (that turned out to be true)?

Experience doesn’t count if all you did was run your company or state into the ground. Take note, Fiorina and Palin.

She’s only been at it for 18 months, but she’s shown some real aptitude for fuckitude. And now she’s royally fucked-up the McCain campaign, and she’s done it within just a few days.

A reporter for the Anchorage daily, Gregg Erickson, even did an online chat with the Washington Post, in which he revealed that Palin’s approval rating in the state was not the much-touted 80%, but 65% and sinking — and that among journalists who followed her it might be in the “teens.”

Fiscal irresponsibility, huge deficit, letting pregnant teens rot in the gutter (except hers,) and treason.

For those of you fortunate enough not to live in the bible belt and who are unfamiliar with the Assembly of God church, it’s basically Pentecostals who are allowed to cut their hair and wear pants and makeup.

[…]

Defenders of Wildlife Asks Judge to Shut Down Palin’s Wolf Bounty Program

Bounty Law Repealed in 1984 – Alaska Does Not Have Regulatory Authority to Impose New Incentives

Anchorage, AK — Today Defenders of Wildlife, the Alaska Wildlife Alliance and the Alaska Chapter of the Sierra Club asked the Alaska Superior Court to shut down Governor Palin’s $150-per-wolf bounty program citing the fact that Alaska’s bounty laws were repealed in 1984 and the State has no current legal authority to implement the bounties.

“The Governor is overstepping her legal authority by offering cash payments for each wolf killed by aerial gunners,” stated Tom Banks, Defenders of Wildlife’s Alaska Associate. “That’s a bounty by anyone’s standards regardless of what they call it.”

Hoping to boost the number of wolves killed this year by permitees, Palin announced the state would pay $150 for each kill. According to an Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) news release, the bounty was instituted to “motivate permittees to redouble their efforts and to help offset the high cost of aviation fuel, ADF&G will offer cash payments to those who return biological specimens to the department.” The state’s press release, issued last Wednesday, indicates that “Permittees will be paid $150 when they bring in the left forelegs of wolves taken from any of several designated control areas.”

Judge Halts Alaska’s Bounty Program

Judge agrees with conservation organizations: $150 wolf bounty is illegal

Anchorage, AK — A state Superior Court judge today issued a temporary restraining order blocking the state from paying a $150 bounty to permittees who kill wolves as part of the predator control programs. The decision is a result of a motion filed by Defenders of Wildlife, the Alaska Wildlife Alliance and the Alaska Chapter of the Sierra Club earlier this week that challenged the legal authority of the state to issue bounties.

The governor had recently authorized the bounty to serve as an incentive to aerial gunners to kill more wolves in the control areas since the State has said it is not meeting its goal of predator kills. The State is targeting over 600 wolves, a number Defenders challenges because it is not based on sound, scientific data, but on faulty, anecdotal guesses.

What comes next?

John McCain is a Cylon and Sarah Palin is Laura Roslin

They have a campaign website.

Best election cycle evar!

I have voted Dem my whole life, but after the disgusting character assassination on Palin, who is a woman (girl power!), I am afraid this will not go well. I will vote my conscience. I will vote McCain/Palin. So will most of America, I’m afraid. Now you’ve done it.

John McCain is a Cylon and Sarah Palin is Laura Roslin

Best election cycle evar!

and WordPress is a fraking Cylon too.

Palin started out by fucking-up the little town of Wasilla. Once she learned the basics of fucking-up, she moved up to begin fucking-up the state of Alaska. She’s only been at it for 18 months, but she’s shown some real aptitude for fuckitude. And now she’s royally fucked-up the McCain campaign, and she’s done it within just a few days.

To be honest, that could be Tim Pawlenty’s bio too, except he’s spent the whole time fucking up the state.

Vogler was buried in Dawson City in the Yukon.

I’m concerned that Concerned Democrat is concerned.

Speaking in tongues? I though English was good enough for Jesus …

Does this mean she DOES have foreign experience? Oh yes, indeedy, Spanish omelets, English muffins, Danish pastries, French kissing … and now tongues. PTL!

…he revealed that Palin’s approval rating in the state was not the much-touted 80%, but 65% and sinking — and that among journalists who followed her it might be in the “teens.”

I’d love to know what her approval rating is among McCain campaign staffers right now.

I’d love to know what her approval rating is among McCain campaign staffers right now.

100% said Steinbrenner.

John McCain is a Cylon.

I didn’t regularly follow Battlestar Galactica, but I had the impression that the Cylons were fanatic believers in a harsh, vengeful monotheistic creed, and that doesn’t sound anything like the Republicans.

If she wasn’t eight feet tall, and so politically and socially offensive her demure, coy photo-persona would be so cutsey-poo.

…that doesn’t sound anything like the Republicans.

Indeed. Also when Cylons die they just make a new copy of them, instead of having to have a young and sturdy VP ready.

Palindrome is the shortened title of the Sarah Palin International Aerodrome constructed in Wasilla for $20 million.

You people are messing with my head. I read the first (brilliant site) followed by the second, and EVERY SINGLE TIME I looked at her initials on the line-item veto, I saw LR–Laura Roslin.

Guns don’t kill campaigns. Sarah Palin kills campaigns.

There is no unitary executive theory. Just a list of things Sarah Palin is not allowed to do.

Sarah Palin does not sleep. She dozes.

The chief export of Sarah Palin is embarrassment.

There is no chin under Sarah Palin’s smile. There is only another smile for the opposite thing.

Sarah Palin has two speeds. Walk, and fail.

Since the National Enquirer has been accepted as a reputable news source, we would be remiss if we ignored their contribution to the Palin saga:

Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin attempted to quietly have her daughter Bristol get married before news of her pregnancy leaked out, the NATIONAL ENQUIRER is reporting exclusively in its new issue.

Palin planned for the wedding to take place right after the Republican National Convention and then she was going to announce the pregnancy.

But Bristol, 17, refused to go along with the plan and that sparked a mother-daughter showdown over the failed coverup.

The ultra-conservative governor’s announcement about her daughter’s pregnancy came hours after The ENQUIRER informed her representatives and family members of Levi Johnston, the father of Bristol’s child, that we were aware of the pregnancy and were going to break the news.

Are we sure this isn’t a viral marketing campaign for a new HBO series?

SARAH! A God-fearing smalltown beauty queen from the frozen north and her meteoric rise to the White House. Lots of nasty characters, ruined lives, back-stabbing, corruption, sex, revenge, a big international stage. Should be good for four or five seasons

Look, Sarah Palin doesn’t have to be a problem if Fred Thompson eats her brain on live television.

Should be good for four or five seasons.

Absolutely, if they don’t try to make it a musical. Producers fuck up and do that sometimes.

Since the National Enquirer has been accepted as a reputable news source…

BWAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA

That’s one of the many delicious marshmallow nuggets in this whole imbroglio – the wingnuts just got through telling us how great the Enquirer is. Have they started denouncing it as the worst liberal rag ever yet?

Oh shut up Megan. You want to vote for McCain because he’ll cut your Daddy’s taxes and because you’re a shallow airhead who will never, ever give a real damn about anybody yourself…

Megan dear: sorry it’s so difficult for you to deal with politics as an adult rather than as a gossip-frenzied teenager. I’m similarly sorry you can’t distinguish either candidate involved from their followers – Obama from the people rightly tearing Palin to shreds and Palin from the Objectivist night-elves who earnestly believe her illegally hounding a personal enemy and treating federal funds like Silly String are brave, transparent shruggings of Atlas.

Guess the big tent just doesn’t work for you, huh? Don’t let the flap hit your ass on the way out.

I do believe the Republican Channel is undergoing a program revamp…

About to become all wingnut, all the time!

Just glimpsing the highlights they’re putting on at the convention, it’s obvious they’ve got nothing left.

Putting all the chips on Big Red! Let ‘er roll!

Are we sure this isn’t a viral marketing campaign for a new HBO series?

My friends, your questions deserve straight answers. The facts are that I will be appearing on “True Blood.” That Paquin trollope has a sweet sweet can, and I look forward to watching her deliver her lines.
Additionally, I have been exploring the possibility of a starring role in an Andrew Johnson miniseries, set to start filming in January. Rick says my Q-Rating will go “through the roof.”

If a Democrat mom chooses public office, she’s a patriot Wonder Woman imbued with Absolute Moral Authority on children’s, health, and social welfare issues.

Ain’t feminism grand?

Malkintented™ poutrage, with classical wingnutzien pretzel logic appetizer.

Well, I guess we’re all a bunch of sexists for criticizing Palin.

But not the McCain campaign. Oh, no. There’s nothing sexist about this posed photo released by the campaign

Sarah’s just one of the gals, huh. Hanging with the chicks. I’m sure that if McCain picked Mittens, he’d be posing with the gals, too. right?

I mean, seriously, what’s next? Are they going to post her favorite recipes on McCain’s website?

The perfectly named Orson Swindle is now addressing the Republican Convention.

By the way, did you know that John McCain was a POW? POW? POW? POW?

McCain / Palin: Today We’re ALL Unwed Teenage Daughers!

I had no idea. It must be because he doesn’t like to talk about.

Is that Cindy McCain in the bright green suit? Even if it isn’t, holy fucking christ on a cracker, what did they do to that poor woman’s legs? They don’t match the rest of her body! Unless she’s supposed to be a robot, and they mismatched the parts.

By the way, did you know that John McCain was a POW? POW? POW? POW?

he did the sound effects on the old Batman TV show? Cool? Who did BIFF and ZAP?

Libruls. Don’t you know the National Enquirer is only reliable when it’s covering gay elitist Democraps having affairs with secret Muslim secret agents / party girl / videographers?

Sorry, SamFromUtah, purists like me prefer our imbroglio without the marshmallow nuggets.
I mean, why not just add cilantro to the recipe while you’re at it, and turn it into a real farrago?

So Sarah’s already been relegated to the Republican Wives ghetto?

Sarah’s just one of the gals, huh.

Looks like a shot of the Republican Political Auxiliary.

Sorry, SamFromUtah, purists like me prefer our imbroglio without the marshmallow nuggets.

Pardon. Marshmallow nuggets are a mainstay of Utah (or Utard, if you prefer) cuisine. Jello sallad with marshmallows and a side of funeral potatoes – fetchin’ tasty.

Gosh, I’m looking at Laura Bush’s face.

Turns out there’s not enough money in the world… or enough drugs… so soldier on.

She just said “Change you can really believe in,” and then gulped.

Those aren’t really her legs – those are mannequin legs. That’s a trick couch; Cindy McCain is actually standing straight up through a hole in the sofa. It’s just another example of that whacky Cylon-Republican humor.

Hanoi Hilton! Angry Left! Tax Relief for Millionaires! Drill! Drill! Drill!!!!

Nice Big Brother touch with Bush on the big screen.

I’m optimistic because I’m getting the fuck out before things get any worse.

I agree with that guy. USA also.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up. That would certainly explain the waaay too big stitched-on kneecap then. But I suppose that’s what you get when you look for legs at Wal-Mart.

Reagan, again!

You know, they wish he was the Undead. They really do. They’d round up all the unwilling donors he’d ever need…

Did they really say Reagan never forgot who he was?

They actually said Reagan “Saved America, Saved the World,” which apparently means they had to steal the tag line from Heroes, except for the Cheerleader part.

Somebody spiked Fred Thompson’s Metamucil with crank.

Fred Thompson is a strange colour.

Fred Thompson is a funny shape.

Hanoi Hilton! (takes a shot)

It is news to me that John McCain was covered in grime.

Fred Thompson doesn’t need to be talking like this in front of the man’s mother.

Fred Thompson is a piece of crap.

POW! POW! POW!

Being a POW doesn’t qualify you to be a president, but…POW! POW! POW! POW!

The analysis is ill-making.

And he’s a NIGGER!!!!!!!

I gave up. I’m replaying Bill Clinton’s convention speech. I can’t deal with RNC wonderland anymore tonight.

Fuck.

I KILLED people.

Shouldn’t I be dogcatcher or something?

mikey

Vote rethug, because they make gas prices low.

Fred Thompson is a strange colour.

I think that’s sulfur. Or saffron.

“We are the ones who got you into this mess. Don’t you see that makes us the best ones to get you out?”

What was wrong with Thompson? He kept coughing, and his dynamics sucked. He had no discernible rhythm. And he did look like he lathered on the fake bake.

You’ll notice he didn’t mention the word torture in his account of McCain’s POW experience. I wonder why that is so.

This thread is cracking me up so bad my ribs hurt.

That photo of the Rethug wimmin is a real blast too. Cindy McCain’s faux-tanned legs looked Vaseline-coated. Laura Bush looks almost lifelike.

Did they really say Reagan never forgot who he was?
Invites invidious comparisons.

“We are the ones who got you into this mess. Don’t you see that makes us the best ones to get you out?”

More “Everything is just fine, but we’re the only ones who can fix it.”

MzNicky, I didn’t visit TGW all day (although I did go to MM’s to confirm that the Malkin thing was poutraged about Palin).

“George Washington in his farewell dress”? Lieb-er-man!! Haw haw!

“How dare the Democrats make America feel bad about America and say everything’s terrible? Things are tough, but awesome; struggling, yet victorious; up, yet down; unfreedom, which is truly freedom.”

Lieberman is so much wanting to be in McCain’s pants.

That’s it. Seeing Republicans attempting to dance to a Chuck Berry tune is the last straw.

I gotta get some ginger pills, stat!

Senator Palpatine is even jowlier than usual.

Shorter Lieberman: “Democrats know John McCain has been sometimes independent of the super hard right, mmmm, and I am here to tell you to remember that ‘sometimes’ means ‘always’.”

Senator Obama is an articulate young Negro, but he’s not going to be President on my watch.

Shorter Lieberman: Trust me, this car has never been in an accident!

Oooh, so Clinton was a good President? Thanks, Joe!

ittdgy: I haven’t gone there today either. I think I’ve finally had my fill of gawking at that particular train wreck. It’s just not any fun anymore. To troll them at this point would be to poke sticks at old demented orangutans who’ve spent their entire lives in a cage at the zoo and now half-heartedly fling feces around in between picking lice and fleas off each other.

“Governor Palin, Like John McCain, Is A Reformer, Who Has Reached Around… Ummm…”

There’s a lot of reach-arounds being discussed. Isn’t that how Palin’s daughter got pregnant?

Uhhhhh, “Washington can’t build a pen big enough to hold in these two Mavericks.”

The wretching sound you hear in the background is entirely appropriate.

These are tough times, and that’s why we need another Republican President. Just like the last one.

Joe (I left DC for the last time ever 4 the 2006 election) Lieberman: The Washington Establishment R loosers!one1!

OK, Joe, that’s it. You’ve crossed the line. Fuck you and your fucking honor.

John McCain is an awesome Maverick who will totally do things different but exactly the same as all the things we’ve just been talking about how awesome Republicans were for the last 8 years.

Also, Democrats tried to kill our troops by starving them in the Iraqi desert. Clearly they should be shot. And the SURGE ™ worked!!!

My friends, you can make the spectacle much more palatable if you turn the sound down and play “count the black people”.

I think there are 5 of them. That’s how many I counted over the last 30 minutes, anyway.

Enemies! Fear! Us!!!

Jeebus. Poor Lieberman. That’s a fucking tough crowd.

they hate him.

“many of you are angry…. at our government”

Ooops. Sorry. Didn’t mean to talk about the guy who just spoke by video. Heh.

Oooh! Joe now says he wants to speak directly to all Democrats & independents listening!

So do I…

mikey

My friends, you can make the spectacle much more palatable if you turn the sound down and play “count the black people”.

And the people under 50.

Well, at least one speaker told Republicans to vote for the best individual candidate, not the party you belong to.

Country First! Country First! Country First! Country First! Country First! Country First! Country First! Country First! Country First! Country First! Country First! Country First! Country First! Country First! Country First! Country First! Country First! Country First! Country First! Country First! Country First! Country First! Country First! Country First! Country First! Country First! Country First! Country First! And the SURGE(tm) WORKED!!!

My foot would like to speak to Joe Lieberman.

God, it’s really amazing. Look at the faces. They fucking despise him. What was he thinking, deciding to speak to them.

They don’t give a shit about him.

I guess, though, that it means that McCain at least made a better choice picking Palin than Lieberman.

God. I almost feel sorry for him. he is totally going to be the ignored guy at the after-party.

“Country First”? Wha? What’s second?

Doesn’t John McGasolina know he scheduled his big speech on the same night the NFL opens? What happens there- NBC had better not cut to the Republican Convention on my Super Bowl Champion Giants’ opening day.

Is it a good thing or a bad thing that I’m without tv at the lake and can’t watch this?
I’m genuinely unsure.
Plus the internet connection here is too iffy to try to watch any webcasting.

Country First!

They’re talking about Israel, right?

ADB, you’re missing a boring suck-fest.

We’re all laughing, because it’s sucky and boring.

What’s second?

Western swing.

Lieberman looked like he wanted to get off that stage fast. What an inspired speech.

You know if the Rs would just wise up and explain that BUSH is a Maverick, so McCain’s being 99.99999 like Bush is a GOOD THING, that problem would be gone.

Maverick is Madonna’s record label.

The St. Paul crowd hates Lieberman. I’m minutes behind on my DVR, but they are losing interest halfway through.

I’m glad The Daily Show is covering this suckfest. And the Sadlies!

In that case, I’m much happier just having a conversation with my friend the loon.

In that case, I’m much happier just having a conversation with my friend the loon.

You know, if you need some walking around the lake money, Governor Pain would probably give you fifty bucks for that loon’s foot.

I’m on an island, J–. How much would she give me to start a secession movement?

All this hate does not help our cause, you know. If you keep up the unfair and biased criticism, and don’t start talking straight soon, it is even less likely I will vote for Obama. Nobody else here in the heartland will either.

Spoiler alert you assholes.

You will die alone.

How much would she give me to start a secession movement?

Tell her your Aaron Burr. The Palins will jump all over it. She’ll get you, through her tough opposition to Ted Stevens, a few dozen million dollars in federal infrastructure money and Todd Palin will provide snowmobiles. You know, as get-away cars.

Joementum, just as he was in 2000, is a rancid speaker. He wouldn’t even give me the confidence to take a shit in the morning.

Like Bristol Palin, her boyfriend is off limits. Totally off limits.

Bristol Palin’s boyfriend heads to convention

WASILLA – The boyfriend of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s unwed, pregnant daughter will join the family of the Republican vice presidential candidate at the GOP convention in St. Paul, Minn.

Levi Johnston’s mother said her 18-year-old son left Alaska this morning to join the Palin family at the convention where Sen. John McCain will officially receive the Republican nomination for president. The boy’s mother, Sherry Johnston, said there had been no pressure put on her son to marry 17-year-old Bristol Palin and the two teens had made plans to wed before it was known she was pregnant.

Never mind.

the two teens had made plans to wed before it was known she was pregnant.

I made the same pact with my high school sweetheart. It didn’t work out in the end. I’m happily married to someone else, and she’s happy finding herself overseas.

Because we were smart enough to practice safe sex, a baby didn’t come into play. Amazing how that works.

The boy’s mother, Sherry Johnston, said there had been no pressure put on her son to marry 17-year-old Bristol Palin…

Uh-huh. No pressure put on him to go to the convention, either, so they can keep him on a really short leash and away from the press except when accompanied by a few burly message-enforcers not-so-subtly carrying ax handles.

Well I guess the GOP outbid the tabloids..or else ‘persuaded’ him the same way Snake Plisken was ‘persuaded’ to take the NYC mission.

the two teens had made plans to wed before it was known she was pregnant.

The poor sap.

There he is, a self-described fun-lovin’ redneck who doesn’t want any kids (per his MySpace page, which is splashed all over the net now. Mothers of the future call out to departing children, “Be sure you took all the naked pictures off your MySpace page, in case you get hit by a bus!”)

And now the juggernaut has snatched him up and will grind him to a powder. Must have seemed wild, partying (I’m sure there was partying involved) with the Governor’s daughter, who seems to be resisting the marriage, if the Enquirer is to be believed.

Such a sad mess all around. I feel for those kids. They’ll lift their heads a few years from now, and wonder what the hell happened to them.

I feel for those kids.

Me too. Bad enough to get “in trouble” at their age, a million times worse to be turned into political footballs over it on a national, um, gridiron.

If Bristol hasn’t got that permanent Laura Bush Xanax rictus by the time she’s 21, she’s a helluva fighter.

Why so serious?

My friends, don’t forget – Levi can always divorce her if she gets ugly or short.

I just want to know: How did the GOP find a power-abusing, secessionist, creationist, book-burning, pentecostal, abstinence promoting, governor who’s suing the US to have polar bears removed from the endangered species list and has with an unwed pregnant teenage daughter dating a guy named after the inventor of blue-jeans?

They asked the people Sadly, No! is always making fun of!

No kidding — apparently the right-wing blogs have been pushing Palin as “their Girl” for many weeks. They love her more than the Firedoglake-pups loved Ned Lamont. Palin’s flailing, self-righteous, hypocritical “Okay for ME but not for THEE” stance(s) on Teh Issues just makes bloggers on the Far Right Idiot end of the spectrum crush their cheetohs in sweaty delight. Thus, the stunned disbelief / mocking laughter of the hated “Main Stream Media” is all the more bitter, since every jibe about Sarah is perceived as a jibe against them.

They asked the people Sadly, No! is always making fun of!

Heh, indeed.

If this is the GOP’s first real attempt at using the Power of the Intertubes, I hope it keeps them from trying again for at least another decade.

You poor chil’. You just are’nt real bright, are you?

But, but, but … Michelle Obama!

Bill Ayres!

Rev. Wright?

Come on, people!

I’m confused. Has a spermatozoa ever even entered McArdle? When and how drunk was it?

I get it. It’s okay for us to be sexists (and racists) because we’re being ironic and because we know that our shit doesn’t stink. Also as Democrats there is no way we could be assholes or sexists or racists, so it makes it A-OK to be sexist and racist.

What is actually ironic is how all of you hide behind pseudonyms, gang bully tactics in order to say things you’d never say if your name was known. But let anyone say something you disagree with, and you’ll all pile on to censor and trash that person.

Congratulations.

[…] What is actually ironic is how all of you hide behind pseudonyms […]

uh yeah:

would YOU fuck a giant elf?

You LIE-bruls hate Sarah Palin ’cause she carries around a fully erect M1A1 Battle Rifle™ and her husband mates with the oil pipeline during alternate “abstinence only” weeks (it is G*d’s Law that men should be constantly fecund) and just because she wants to secede from the USA of America doesn’t mean she’s not a patriot who shouldn’t be the president-in-waiting of the country she wants to secede from!

Admittedly, she’s not of the heartland (she’s actually almost a commie given the Bering Sea land bridge) but she IS the Commander in Chief of our nation’s Alaska army (sometimes she orders them to smash sno-cones in their own faces while they’re walking around in Arabia, which some have wrongly implied is an abuse of her power) and she loves to pole-dance to Foghat’s “Slow Ride”, so she’s qualified to enter the beauty contest at Sturgis right along with Cindy McCain. And she wants to take pelicans off of the endangered feces list, so you can hardly not vote for her.

I know that you Dummy-crats would love nothing more than for her to be surrounded by dozens of wolves and eaten, but I think it would be much cooler if she were hunted down by SWAT teams of polar bears in airplanes, with sniper rifles retrofitted with huge triggers to fit their massive paws. That would make the coolest movie, ever.

It’s okay for us to be sexists (and racists) because we’re being ironic and because we know that our shit doesn’t stink. Also as Democrats there is no way we could be assholes or sexists or racists, so it makes it A-OK to be sexist and racist.

Ahem: I’m not a Democrat, my shit stinks plenty ugly just like everyone else’s, I’d like to see some of these “racists” you’re getting butthurt about here, why, yes, being “ironic” here (& elsewhere) is sometimes – but not very often – used as semiotic camoflage for nasty attitudes (tough titty, bub – deal with it), the folks who get “trashed” here are advocating a return to pre-Enlightenment social standards that would have both you & I alike garotted & then burned at the stake (or worse), so with all due apologies to your whiny emo self, we’re not terribly distraught at the prospect of being seen as “assholes” while giving potentially-lethal fuckwits a taste of exactly what they oh-so-richly deserve, nobody gets censored here, jim really is my fuckin’ name, I say whatever the hell I want, either online OR offline – & in conclusion, suck my stinky ass clean, you self-righteous little pustule.

PS – have a nice day.

Then just what is your real life name?

Dude, I’m not going to go point-by-point into you absolutely ridiculous rhetoric.
I will say that (a) it’s kind of ironic that you chose to bitch about the “spermatazoa” post because the guy who wrote it was a big Clinton supporter during the primaries. Correct me if I’m wrong, but s/he didn’t actually make a statement based on Megan’s gender – actor212 implied that she’s never had sex and did not make any particular statement about why she never would have had sex.
And (b) the people who have, in the last year, stalked a family to their home and work because they didn’t like an ad in which they appeared, and who called a guy at work over an Internet posting – they aren’t here.

Annnnd – this is a different Jim.

The McCain campaign, cynical to the last, is going to try to earn itself political points with this shotgun marriage (“It was a teenage wedding, and G. Old Party wished them well”), pushing Bristol Palin and her pregnancy out into the public light and now shoving her boyfriend onto the national stage too. “Vote McCain/Palin. The vice presidential candidate is more ordinary than any of you out there, which proves the Democrats are elitist.” At the same time, they can throw their hands in the their and wail when our gossip press jumps all over the story, and then, if and when the McCain campaign determines it needs to dump Palin from the ticket, they can blame it on the media, whose disrespectful, unprofessional focus on the salacious and private has forced Sarah Palin determine that for the sake her children, and her children’s children, she must say goodbye.

Come out with your real names now…

Ahm comin’ clean!

Come out with your real names now,
OK I ‘fess up. That fact is that all the pseudonyms are me.

Are they going to make him get rid of the mullet before putting him on a leash and parading him around the convention?

I imagine they must have offered him what seemed like a considerable sum of money to him. Even if he is a bit thick, he must know what the tabloids will pay for his story.

Come out with your real names now…

My real name is Go Fuck Yourself, Jr.

I reside at 1234 Blowitoutyourass Boulevard in the town of Stuffit, Texas.

Dear “uh yeah”: I for one call out sexism here when I see it. I expect and get defensiveness and blowback, we settle down, then we all carry on. So if you want to participate like a thinking liberal and you see something that offends you, by all means, bring it up and let’s discuss.

On the other hand, elbowing your way in with a lame-ass nym, spewing scattershot criticism of one and all and then demanding to know other commenters’ real names? Now why on earth would anyone here want to do such a thing, especially in response to such a sincere and totally unthreatening request?

Political desperation makes for roving Internet gangs of ever-more bullying thugs. Fuck off, jackass.

zzzzzzzzzzzzz….when is Lieberman’s speech?

The Palindrome is the stadium with the donut-shaped football field. Who needs two goalposts when one is plenty? … Especially when you own the home-team refs and they change the rules every time the defensive squad takes the field.

In the off season it’s a center-facing firing range.

You fucking trollops.

the two teens had made plans to wed before it was known she was pregnant.

Dude,

I just said that to get laid!! Jeez!!

Is that Kara Walker’s work in the bg?

the two teens had made plans to wed before it was known she was pregnant.

“But Mom, he said he’d marry me.”

laureli: Yes, it is. Seems strangely appropriate, don’t it?

actor212: “Has a spermatozoa ever even entered McArdle?”

Dude. Lumbergh fucked her.

And that answers my question….how, precisely?

Just what they need up there in St. Paul.

The one thing that they were missing, the only thing that can turn this convention around.

An 18 year old “Fuckin Redneck”….

Yay…

mikey

I imagine they must have offered him what seemed like a considerable sum of money to him. Even if he is a bit thick, he must know what the tabloids will pay for his story.

I think that team of GOP lawyers that flew up to Alaska Sunday (Was it Sunday? It seems so long ago.) made his family an offer they couldn’t refuse.

The one thing that they were missing, the only thing that can turn this convention around.

An 18 year old “Fuckin Redneck”….

I’m telling you, the GOP this year has stopped trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator of the U.S. right wing. Now they’re trying to be that lowest common denominator.

Palin and her supporters are batshit crazy…

By the way, did you know that John McCain was a POW? POW? POW? POW?

He used to be a POW, now he’s a P. O. Dubya.

um yeah:
What is actually ironic is how all of you hide behind pseudonyms, gang bully tactics in order to say things you’d never say if your name was known.

Pot, kettle, concern troll, Megan…

d’oh! those were stricken through in the preview! I swear!

wurdprez FTW!

the logos, I am not saying there is anything wrong with anonymous or pseudonymous speech per se.

I am saying that using anonymous speech to bully other people, and especially to bully people using their real meatspace names is problematic.

And that anonymous/pseudonymous speech is there to protect the individual, but when you use it using mob bullying tactics is more cowardly than noble.

Have pity, uh yeah, for we are but pawns in Gary Ruppert’s grand scheme for the blogosphere. He orders, we act.

J— is wise and reminds us of our better selves.

Just curious.

Has anyone contemplated the fact that Bristol Palin was raped?

Under the laws of Alaska, the age of sexual consent is 18. She is 17, her “boyfriend” is eighteen.

If this had been my daughter, this boy would be sitting in jail right now.

Christ almighty, bullying? OH DEAR GOD SOMEBODY SAID SOMETHING MEAN SOMEWHERE ON THE INTERNETS. McCardle’s tears could surely keep Saudi Arabia’s desalinization plants running for years.

If this had been my daughter, this boy would be sitting in jail right now.

I am glad she is not your daughter. I would hope that part of being in the tolerant crew is that there is some recognition that kids have sex whether we like it or not.

My daughter is smart enough to insist on protection, ergo the only way this girl would be pregnant is if he refused to and she couldn’t fight his ass off.

And believe me, the first thing I taught her about boys was the nut-punch.

God, it’s really amazing. Look at the faces. They fucking despise him. What was he thinking, deciding to speak to them.

Being despised is the only thing that makes Lieberman feel alive inside.

99% success rate means 1% failure rate.

My daughter is smart enough to insist on protection, ergo the only way this girl would be pregnant is if he refused to and she couldn’t fight his ass off.

This strikes me as nutty, but perhaps your daughter is wiser and luckier than most people I’ve met.

You folks really never fact check anything, do you? Just point and yell.

You folks really never fact check anything, do you?

Alaska’s age of consent was established in a previous post, n00b.

actor212,

Hello! You can’t throw redneck baby daddy in jail. He’s not black, duh.

RB, you should look at what actor212 wrote about the Olympics opening ceremony on his bwog. The authority-worship is so plain you can taste it. I’m not even going into his comical “Bill Ayers was as bad as Osama bin Laden because he made it hard for the police to do their jobs!” routine from a while ago.

I have no trouble believing that he honestly believes an 18-year-old boy should be thrown in prison for having sex with a 17-year-old girl.

Well, at least we can be sure uh, yeah isn’t Megan. S/he used Google to look something up.

RB, you should look at what actor212 wrote

I am familiar enough with actor212’s work that I think I should not.

The fact is, Democraps cannot win without the smarmy trust-fund libertarian vote: if they’ve lost Megan McArdle and her cohort, they’re doomed.
