Better than any Top Ten list.
Rutting season?

That’s a home run!
Get ready for the people complaining that you ruined their monitor. (Geez, you’d think that people would know by know that drinking fluids & reading Tbogg is hazardous to one’s monitor.)

i need a cigarette…

Cram sessions with Joe Lieberman
OK, that’s just fucking disgusting in so many ways…

Caribou Barbie. That’s a keeper. I think you’re gonna need a second blog just for Palin.

Beautiful, TBogg.

Hope to see more Rethug to-do lists….after I’ve Saran wrapped the monitor

Being in the lower forty-eight gives Piper nosebleeds.

I think being in the Palin family is what gives Piper nosebleeds. That, and they keep letting that creepy smelly old guy be around her.

Damn, tbogg, I’m going to have to forgive the RNC for annointing scary-church-lady as potential Preznit — you’re making it all *so* worthwhile.

I just told Ms. TW about Sarah’s new nickname, “Caribou Barbie” and she nearly choked. Righteous snark, keep it comin’.

This list is teh freaking awesome. Also awesome? The mental picture of a bearskin wedding dress, although that may simply be the recovering World of Warcraft player in me.

Hey Tbogg, you seen this yet? http://andrewsullivan.theatlan.....we-go.html I tried clicking the link in this link, but for some reason it seems like there is a LOT of traffic trying to get through that particular innertube. Tie that in with the newest issue of National Enquirer, and I think it’s about to get very, very interesting. Could we really be this lucky?

This is too funny for the internet. To quote the Joker, “If you’re good at something, never do it for free.”

LOL. Leonard da Tbogg, the master.

Another funny thing is that Palin will spend time in Nome and the Gnome had planned to spend time in Palin.

Is that the guy she (aledgedly) shtooped? Or was it that her husband shtooped that guys wife? Now that we know Bristol’s baby daddy, hasn’t extramartial shtooping been given the Church of Goober Seal of Approval? Or is it just teenage premarital shtooping that’s allowed? What kind of shtooping is allowed? Isn’t this a private matter? Didn’t I hear that people in Alaska like to shtoop Mooses? What is the plural of Moose? Do I know how to spell “shtoop” correctly?

This is way too heavy for me to sort out.

SSMIS, a whole bunch of people on teh tubes mentioned a while back that, fascinating as she might be in that fungus-on-the-bathmat sort of way, Sarah Palin wasn’t the most exciting part of the dynamic duo from Alaska. Todd’s the man.

As a matter of fact, he appears to be vastly more qualified than Sarah — heck, more qualified than almost any Republican: “He knows how to fix the boiler or the toilet or the sink or whatever […] It’s very common in Alaska. We don’t have the luxury of calling the Roto-Rooter guy. We just do it ourselves.” So, why don’t we leave Sarah to the moose stew and the special needs kids in the family, and hire Todd for the job? He also rides a snowmobile. Take that, Ahmedinedjad!

Aldorossi, the plural of moose must be meese.

Aldorossi, the plural of moose must be meese.

Nice fluff (and I do mean that literally) piece ABC. And he really goes by “First Dude”???? I actually do call him that when I update my family and friends about my new favorite soap, The F-kin’ Snowbillies. How DARE he take that from me???

Moose shtoopers and goat blowers!
Moose shtoopers and goat blowers!
Moose shtoopers and goat blowers!

Say that fast ten times!

How is “Caribou Barbie” considered appropriate? I just discussed with other users of this forum the term “uppity” being racist, yet they praise someone being called “Caribou Barbie”, sexist much?

From what I gather so far, the implication is that she was schtupping the hubby’s business partner (now former business partner). Maybe that’s just normal Wasilla matrimonial bliss, but it ain’t gonna fly with the fundies down here; the PG teen was about all they can stomach and keep the smiles plastered on their faces.

Don’t worry though, that last bastion of investigative journalism (as far as schtupping goes), The National Enquirer, is on it like flies on a freshly gutted moose.

Live by the beauty queen label, die by the beauty queen label.

Do you think Sarah is back home so that she can resign far away from the press after a decent interval or maybe friday night when the news cycle is over?

It wasn’t a dingo. It was a bear holding a shark.

dumb question.. if, as you suggest, shrub-buddy Vlad conquers Alaska, wouldn’t that make its governor ineligible to run for VP? Just wonderin’

Meanwhile, on more light-hearted and domestic matters, if Palin does become VP, those drapes are going back onto those nude statues at the Justice Dept aren’t they?

tbogg you’ve outdone yourself! BRAVO!

StringonaStickformerlyMakeItStop @10 Great Catch and Andrew Sullivan is a good source!

”Todd Palin’s former business partner files an emergency motion to have his divorce papers sealed. Oh God.”

http://andrewsullivan.theatlan.....we-go.html

If you’re going down this road, please get your facts straight. While you may see an occasional moose rut now, with another moose I hope, the all out debauchery doesn’t begin for several weeks.

TBogg - come for the snark, stay for the Basset tackle … or is it the other way round? Doesn’t matter - just stay.

Blub said: if Palin does become VP, those drapes are going back onto those nude statues at the Justice Dept aren’t they?

Yeah, drapes or old beauty pageant sashes and a thong.

Just so we’re clear. This means you’re okay with the menstruation and tit jokes, right? Because I really need to know what my boundaries are….

Did you say boundaries??? The rethugs no no boundaries when it is them call the names but… well you know the evidence is quite clear what happens when a Dem calls names..

I just get the sense Sarah is being girlled by a panicky McCain campaign to try and find out what’s the worst thing out there waiting to be jf.

The investigation into Troopergate just got fast tracked we will hear the result about a month before the election I think.
What a perfect excuse for Sarah to resign and blame the Democrats before news of her possible affair comes out. After all exwives love to embarrass their husbands mistress publicly and even the McCain vetters of Sarah Palin can see that this would be a potential problem for any VP.

http://www.abcnews.go.com/Blot.....038;page=1

Cram sessions with Joe Lieberman who will explain to her that Jews are not treacherous Jesus killers who steal Christian babies and drink their blood.

WELL! It’s about time someone killed that myth! After all, as “Ho-Joe” surely knows, one of the principal precepts of kashrut is to “purify” the diet by eliminating fresh blood from meat.

However, as the Mishnah points out: “Wherever there’s a law, there’s a loophole!” (My Hebrew is kinda rusty.) About 1200 years ago, some enterprising baker discovered that the addition of baby’s blood improved the flavor and texture of matzoh. When those little red corpuscles popped at high heat, they left air pockets that resulted in a much lighter and crisper product and…. Hey–do you think this might be getting too technical for Caribou Barbie?

Never mind that buy books now before Sarah closes the book stores!

do not keep talking to this moron

It would be my guess that isn’t a sexist term because it has never been used to describe an entire gender or race by characteristics which were beyond their control. I’ve never heard “caribou” used in that way, and suspect “Barbie” is used seldom to describe a small group of women who choose to look and behave like the doll and probably consider the term a complement. “Uppity” has been used to keep an entire race subjugated.
FWIW.

“If Palin does become VP, those drapes are going back onto those nude statues at the Justice Dept aren’t they?”

Just make sure they match the carpet.

I just had to share this from one of my neighbors:

Subject: Fw: Sarah Palin
this is from a college classmate and old friend. read it, weep, and pass it on to anyone —
Dear classmates -
As an Alaskan, I am writing to give all of you some information on Sarah Palin, Senator McCain’s choice for VP. As an Alaska voter, I know more than most of you about her and, frankly, I am horrified that he picked her.

The most accurate description of her is red neck. Her husband works in the oil fields of Prudhoe Bay and races snow mobiles. She is a life time member of the NRA and has worked tirelessly to allow indiscriminate hunting of wildlife in Alaska, particularly wolves and bears. (This is with Fish and Game, so there are more moose and such for people to hunt.) She has spent millions of Alaska state dollars on aerial hunting of these predators from helicopters and airplanes, dollars that should have been spent, for example, on Alaska’s failing school system.We have the lowest rate of high school graduation in the country. Not all of you may think aerial predator hunting is so bad, but how anyone (other than Alaska wolf-haters, of which there are many, most without teeth), could think this use of funds is appropriate is beyond me. If you want to know more about the aerial hunting travesty, let me know and I will send some links to informative web sites.

She has been a strong supporter of increased use of fossil fuels, yet the McCain campaign has the nerve to say she has ‘green’ policies. The only thing green about Sarah Palin is her lack of experience. She has consistently supported drilling in ANWR, use of coal-burning power plants (as I write this, a new coal plant is being built in her home town of Wasilla), strip mining, and almost anything else that will unnecessarily exploit the diminishing resources of Alaska and destroy its environment.
(And she was quoted as saying, ” “I’m not one though who would attribute it to being manmade,” in reference to Global Warming. According to Newsmax, and referred to in an article by the Associated Press.)

Prior to her one year as governor of Alaska, she was mayor of Wasilla, a small red neck town outside Anchorage.The average maximum education level of parents of junior high school kids in Wasilla is 10th grade.

Unfortunately, I have to go to Wasilla every week to get groceries and other supplies, so I have continual contact with the people who put Palin in office in the first place. I know what I’m talking about.

These people don’t have a concept of the world around them or of the serious issues facing the US. Furthermore, they don’t care. So long as they can go out and hunt their moose every fall, kill wolves and bears and drive their snow mobiles and ATVs through every corner of the wilderness, they’re happy. I wish I were exaggerating.

Sarah Palin is currently involved in a political corruption scandal. She fired an individual in law enforcement here because she didn’t like how he treated one of her relatives during a divorce. The man’s performance and ability weren’t considered; it was a totally personal firing and is currently under investigation. While the issue isn’t close to the scandal of Ted Steven’s corruption, it shows that Palin isn’t ’squeaky clean’ and causes me to think there may be more issues that could come to light. Clearly McCain doesn’t care.

When you line Palin up with Biden, the comparison would be laughable if it weren’t so serious. Sarah Palin knows nothing of economics (admittedly a weak area for McCain), or of international affairs, knows nothing of national government, Social Security, unemployment, health care systems - you name it. The idea of her meeting with heads of foreign governments around the world truly frightens me.

In an increasingly dangerous world, with the economy in shambles in the US, Sarah Palin is uniquely UNqualified to be vice president. John McCain is not a young man. Should something happen to him such that the vice president had to step in, it would destroy our country and possibly the world to have someone as inexperienced and inappropriate as Sarah Palin. The choice of Palin is a cheap shot by McCain to try to get Hillary supporters to vote for him. when McCain introduced her today, Palin had the nerve to compare herself with Hillary and Geraldine Ferraro. Sarah Palin, you are no Hillary Clinton.

To those of you who, like me, supported Hillary and were upset that she did not get the nomination, please don’t think that Sarah Palin is a worthy substitute. If you supported Hillary, regardless of what you think the media and the democratic party may have done to undermine her campaign, the person to support now is Obama, not Sarah Palin. To those of you who are independent or undecided, don’t let the choice of Palin sway you in favor of McCain. Choosing her shows how unqualified McCain is to be president. To those of you who are conservative, I guess you have no choice for president. But please try to see how the poor choice of Palin tells us a great deal about McCain’s judgment.

While the political posturing inherent in the choice of Palin is obvious, the more serious issue is the fact that the VP is, literally, a heartbeat away from the presidency. Sarah Palin is totally and unequivocally unqualified to be vice president, let alone president.

I know this is a lengthy and emotional email, but the stakes are high. I thought it might help for all of you, regardless of political affiliation, to know something about Palin from someone who has to live with her administration in Alaska on a daily basis.

Actually, I’m okay with it all. I’m just pointing out the hipocrisy of the community here….

”Todd Palin’s former business partner files an emergency motion to have his divorce papers sealed. Oh God.”

Kinda answers the question before it’s even been asked, huh?

The First Meeting (with apologies to Rocky & Bullwinkle)

McCain: Sarah, allow me to be frank.
Sarah: Okay, Frank. Allow me to be Sarah.
McCain: [putting out hand] I’m John McCain, POW.
Sarah: I thought you said your name was Frank.
McCain: SHUT UP, SARAH.
Sarah: Okay, Frank.

It’s a Jerry Springer show for the ages. The eight postmodern ¿wonder? of the woild.

Minus the stage props, they were out of those…

Knock yourself out, dude. People have even used the c-word here. Of course you have to disguise it with a *.

And you might as well make fun of her daughters. What the hell, the conservatives do it! It would be silly us not to respond!

Jeebus, “Caribou Barbie” it’s a fucking joke.

“Uppity Negro” not so funny.

Fyi, nobody said “negro”, just “uppity”.

Sarah Palin will spend the next couple of weeks being intensely groomed re-educated programed brainwashed by the Rovicons. Think Manchurian Candidate. But first the hard part. Karl will present his private dossier on her past life which will really secure her rapt attention. Then Karl shifts to the fun stuff teaching his budding student new ways to lie, cheat, and steal that will take her breath away. Think My Fair Lady. Say goodbye to that kinda bitchy Sarah and say hello to smooth talking, fast lying Saint Sarah, Washington newest insider.

You’ve been working the ‘uppity’ angle here in all threads.

I agree. She chose to be the stereotype and to milk that for all it’s worth. There’s no sense in crying sexist when Palin has milked those sexist stereotypes to gain a career.

Beauty Queen = Barbie . Hunter = Caribou. That’s pretty straight forward.

Yeah, I don’t recall any U.S. Representatives saying “Caribou Barbie,” either.

Anyone know which mental health journal is most likely to publish “Serially Romping With Serial Ungulate-Slaughters: Psychological Implications In Elected Officials”?

Who gets credit for “Caribou Barbie”? I hear Stephanie Miller use it today. I prefer Sexy Sarah Barracuda.

Is this the business partner? Todd has had more than one. Business partner, that is.

More from the Adventures of John and Sarah:

McCain: What kind of music is this?
Sarah: Hip-hop
McCain: [begins “hip-hopping”] Ok, but I still want to know what kind of music this is.

Yep. Once and for all let me give you the definition. Grew up in the south and I KNOW. Uppity translates to
“he doesn’t know his place.” That’s it.

While I hate this woman and all she represents, I’m concerned that what used to be a fairly sure Senate pick-up in AK [corruption-is-my-middle-name Stevens’ seat] may stay Republican AND in the hands of that a**hole.

Well, TBogg said it and it’s the first time I’ve heard it.

Re the Shtupping. The righties will get all righteously indignant and claim that her affair is a “personal matter.” They’ll distinguish from that “other guy” (she didn’t do it in the Oval Office!)

I’m sure Jon Stewart will be able to find several clips of them saying the exact opposite about a Democrat in the same situation, and then whining about double standards.

biodieselvw-
What’s your age? Are you still a teenager? Anyone with some age on them knows calling a black person uppity is racist.

You’re very observant.

What if I called Obama “Hoops McGee” anyone offended? Or “Luau Barry”. Anyone?

tell em what I said, this is entire conversation is bullshit.

Oh yeah.. my jaw dropped when i heard that congressman use that word the other day. I looks like it’s gonna get dirtierbefore the end.

Tired of Cindy McCain referring to her as “Eskimo Tits”.

When you steal a man from Wife #1, you’ve got to be looking over your shoulder as Prospective Wife #3 comes along. I’m sure Cindy’s noted that Palin is younger & cuter, even if she doesn’t dress as “richly.”

And calling a woman “Caribou Barbie” is not sexist?

Great blog Tbogg.

1) The McCain campaign has taken a page from the Rove/Miers/Bolten playbook and hope to run out the clock by pretending the legislature’s Senate Judiciary Committee has no right to investigate her abuse of the merit system in Alaska.

The idea is to force litigation to get testimony or depositions from Palin and her co-conspirators in the state court system of Alaska and then to try to jump it to the US District Court of Alaska and then the Ninth Circuit if necessary. That will stall the investigation for months, but by that time Obama will be in the white house and Palin wil be just another twit on the bearskin rug.

2) There are 60 days to go and there will be no straight or crocked talk/colloquy between McBush and Failin’ Palin because they are in the Republican Witness Protection program. The game plan is to ensure that neither McCain nor the moron Palin takes questions from anyone. Just think Clarence Thomas Palin–Clarence hasn’t asked one in an oral argument on the S. Ct. and Sarah ain’t answerin’ none of ‘em–from voters or reporters.

I’ve noticed this for weeks and credit to MSNBC’s David Schuster for hammering this point home.

Kudos for Schuster for asking why Palin left her town in Bumfuck Alaska $27 million in debt.

The point is that we have 60 frigging days to November 4 and we have every right to grill Palin and McCain.

The irony was hilarious that Rudi Gilliani that Sarah Baraccuda pissed on Obama for being a community organizer when Sara Bara couldn’t get into the door of a law school much less graduate and McCain put people to sleep better than a truckload of Ambien with his cliches on helping poor people.

Obama filed law suits after Harvard and got people to file them after Columbia and before Harvard when people trampled on indigents in South Chicato — a far cry from anything Rudi who couldn’t get the EMS, Police Choppers and Firemen on the same radio frequency during 911 causing the deaths of about 300 firemen or Palin or McCain have ever done.

No doubt. The racism just shines through and they can’t hide it. In the debates would be a good time.

Similar things have been said in previous threads, but biodieselvw wants to keep at it.

biobabe: “I’m just pointing out the hipocrisy of the community here”. One: spel tjeq iz ur friend. Always. Two: thx for pointing it out. Now go away, please? Three: if this is a community, that would make Tbogg a community organizer — and we know that they’re all going up against the wall when the imPalinator™ rolls into DC. So if you can just hold on to your deepfelt sense of indignity over the Caribou Barbie moniker for few more months you’ll surely have your sweet revenge.

Heck, why don’t you go join Sarah in Alaska and comfort her hurt feelings while blowing away some moose. Or just blowing some moose — whatever the heck floats your boat. Just go.

How about “I can field dress a moose Palin” - make you feel better?

Not if it’s a nickname that fits that one woman.

I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to Tbogg and the commenters on this thread for troll feeding. I should know better.

lol yeah your right.

Good ‘ol Governor Blood-Lust has the Rove media-driving teams out to beat the bush today.

(hey, someone had to take over for Gannon)

ding

Excuse me for the typo.

FDL is the organizer of the community, not t-bogg.

How many books is Obama planning on writing while in office?

I guess doing nothing is “change”, kind of.

What if the name fits the black man?

What’s the difference? Because YOU think it’s funny it’s appropriate?

See, if I call you a troll, that’s a nickname that I give you. There are no racist or sexist overtones associated with it that I’m aware of. There are, however, racist overtones associated with uppity.

So while the fundies are probably patting each other on the back for putting aside their values and accepting Bristol & Levi’s sin (for political expediency), we are now going to hear about moosegirl’s AFFAIR?
Fundie nation might not be able to swallow that — especially if there are pics (please Gawd).

Despite the fact that we will be FUBAR if McSame/Annie Oakley are elected, I’m enjoying this.

Kudos tbogg on your fine coverage. I knew you would rise to the occasion.

Technically it’s Moose Hunting Fun Barbie. But I nitpick.

Even Republics can’t honestly believe that correctly reading words written by someone else in front of lots of people and cameras qualifies anyone for an elected office. They may go along with it without much outward dissent, but they can’t really believe it.

I guess changing nameplates not policy is change too.

But there are sexist overtones with the term “barbie”, but is race more important than gender?

Moose, polar bear, wolf…anything that weighs more than fifty pounds, Palin is all for shooting.

There is no hypocrisy. Calling someone “Caribou Barbie” is not sexist (actually I think the word you are looking for is misogynist) especially in the context of a satirical piece. If you were a woman, you would understand context.

Folks she heading north with a suitcase of cash and earmark promises just to make Troopergate go away.

The only overtones associated with barbie are being airheaded, and not very curious about ones surroundings. Same with calling a guy a Ken doll.

Ron Paul won’t bring policy change? Ralph Nader won’t bring policy change? McCain and Obama are the same old crap the mainstream parties have been selling for years. The only change is that Obama is an entertaining speaker. He would be better off giving a speaking tour and donating the profits to a charity than using the oval office to promote his own entertainment career.

She’s following the Republic SOP.

FDL is the organizer of the community, not t-bogg.
No, dearest. This is Tbogg’s haunt. He recently started renting hamsters from Jane, and even though common decency may at times tempt him to wash his hands of all of us, those of us roaming this wing of the asylum are here because of him (well, and the bassets, of course). But it’s more like a cult, really: every morning he tells us who to denigrate with sexist remarks, and like the good sheep we are, we comply. It’s a lot like the GOP really, except the snark is better and the writing is tighter.

“Caribou Barbie,” that is just terrible, but it made my day, LMAO!

My greatest fear is that if McCain / Palin get elected, random teenage pregnancy will become all the rage with teen-age girls much the way Britney Spears fashions did earlier in her career.

Are you implying that men cannot understand context? Once again, sexist.

You just don’t get it. The word uppity referring to a black person was almost always followed by n*****r.

Some people get on the toobz and act like a**hats. Some don’t.

It was not followed by that word in the context used regarding Obama…. Is the word “uppity” off limits now? Or can I only use it to refer to caucasions?

Your flailing has become quite humerous.

I’ll fix my own typo this time, “caucasians”.

I must have missed something.

Do. Not. Feed. The. Troll.

The assumption “Barbie” only applies to females is appalingly insenstive to the transgendered community.

What an oppressive act.

However, your pretending to not understand ‘uppity’ has become tedious.

Or, “Don’t wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty, and the pig loves it.”

You took the words right out of my keyboard.

Here’s what you have this punk do. Find a local full court run. Get in a game and the first time you take your weak shit to the rack and it get’s swatted back in you face say, “hey, that was some uppity shit right there”. You’ll find out real quick.

and a gun; sometimes you just have to go that far you know.

Thx for the reminder, mauimom. You’re right, of course, and I for one will certainly stop now — but they’re *so* cute when they beg.

Maybe we just need to come up with a nickname for Palin that can’t possibly be construed as sexist. How about “Frostillica?”

usedcookingoilbug:

‘ere!

Don’t forget the Lovely and Talented Casey, too. But then I don’t want to get all sexist and shit calling TBogg’s daughter “talented.”

That’s what happens when bloggers accuse the McCain/Palin campaign of being racist…They’re questioned.

I guess McCain/Palin automatically are responsible for the racist comments of another party member. Democrats have never made offensive statements? If they have, then I’d have to conclude that the Obama/Biden campaign is racist as well.

beats my choice: moose musk mainliner

– but of course, it’d be sexist *not* to.

What Mauimom said.

How honorable that you come here seeking justice for McCain/Palin.

I dunno. Sounds like Palin loves to blow moose. Um, away. Blow them away.

Sarah’s “red-headed friend” is coming for a visit and if you think she was a raging bitch during her speech…

Wow, a clumsy joke referring to the fact that women have (gasp!) periods. Geez, no one’s ever thought of that one before.
