Would this “bitch” be the same person that Sarah was gushing about at her introduction, in reference to glass ceilings, etc?

If this is true, she’s toast on the ticket.

Shorter McCain-Palin: Only Rove-ites can clean up the damage done by Rove-ites.

Change?

Forget it, Jake. It’s Chinatown.

I don’t know about an Alaskan, but for a rethuglican it’s not surprising at all. Racism has been the basis of each rethuglican campaign since 1968. Have we forgotten?

Oh, please. As the rest of the article makes clear, this sort of attitude is de rigeur for Alaskans as white as the Caribou Barbie clan. And in a GOP where a Congresscritter from GA can claim that he was unaware that “uppity” had any racially derogatory connotations?

This will just make her more popular with the base.

So let’s get this straight, Palin embodies “good, small town, Republican values”: thus far, she’s shown herself to be a smug, lying, hypocrital, narrow-minded racist who belittles those who seek to truly do “Christian” work by helping others. At least that lazy (admits to not introducing ONE piece of legislation)GA cracker kept it “uppity”.

I’ve never been quite so proud to be an evil, urban, elitist liberal in my life.

Careful, I got the rhetorical shit kicked out of me for posting this item.

Beware of anonymous sources.I counted exactly two named sources. It might be all true but beware of anonymous sources. BTW, I’m not defending Palin. Just questioning the extent to which that article can be believed.

Those ARE good, small town Republican values.

“…smug, lying, hypocrital, narrow-minded racist…” There’s plenty of evidence to suggest that this describes McC as well. Those are the only things the Repub base really likes about him.

Honestly I think the meme we should start up is that she is the evil queen bee from high school, the leader of the Heathers, Cordi Chase, and The Mean Girls all wrapped up in one pretty poisonous package. The prom queen that was backstabbing and nasty and two-faced. We all knew her, feared her and hated her in high school. Its the type of thing that voters can instantly grok. Also to take a page out of the Rethug playbook, blame HER for the personal life stuff coming out. That she loves the drama- basicly use the same brush the media used to paint Hillary this year on Palin.

Oh wait I’m sorry I thought this was Kos. : )

Hey, you know what? I dislike Palin as much as the next guy. Probably more. And frankly, the most disturbing thing about this piece is how believable I find the accusations.

But the article is largely a rewrite of accusations lifted from the Anne Kilkenny letter, and the racism accusations are straight-up hearsay. The entire piece comes across as unsourced and unprofessional.

I think we can do better than this, don’t you? I mean, she’s giving people all kinds of rope to hang her with…it’s not like we need to spend time, energy and credibility on this crap.

The prom queen that was backstabbing and nasty and two-faced. We all knew her, feared her and hated her in high school. Its the type of thing that voters can instantly grok.

The problems is that while we all knew her, feared her and hated her in high school, the budding core of future female “libruls” distanced ourselves and pretended not to care, deliberateley dressed like DFHs to avoid fashion comparisons, joined academic or creative activities, and worked like hell to make honor role so we could go to college and get the hell out.

The future Rethug females, on the other hand, wanted desperately to BE just like the prom queen. Which is why “Caribou Barbie” had to go to Alaska to find a pond small enough for her to be elected top frog; and why most of the rest of the mouth-breathing, Wal-Mart-shopping former cheerleaders are queens of their respective trailer parks in places like Castle Hayne, NC, Vyder, TX, Lewistown, PA, Dallas, WV….

Zumpie: I want that emblazoned on a blue t-shirt!

You gotta hand it to ‘em. In retrospect, this pick is looking better and better because of this kind of bullshit.

A hardcore cracker-ass racist who’s not only hot but doesn’t sound like she’s from the Ozarks.

She’s going to wind up being a better choice than I thought.

Would this “bitch” be the same person that Sarah was gushing about at her introduction, in reference to glass ceilings, etc?

Why, yes, yes she would be.

In fact, she’s the same person Palin accused of “whining” back in March.

The author of the original piece addresses the anonymous-source issue here.

Lucille’s life just got a lot more interesting.

We’ve heard “beat the bitch” before from GOP women; is this how self-hating women refer to Clinton? Is it how they seek approval from their male oppressor?

But “Sambo?” Well, that’s simply breathtaking.

I’ve never been quite so proud to be an evil, urban, elitist liberal in my life.

Perhaps we can put the references to Prius-driving, expresso-sipping and arugula-munching on the back of the t-shirt.

So no one will clutch their pearls when I refer to her as the trailer-trash, thin-lipped whore of Wasilla?

Heh. Not of the Enquirer’s rumored-to-be-forthcoming report turns out to be right, that’s for sure.

@Phoenix Woman:

Thanks for the link, and I appreciate his explanation. But I don’t like the idea of passing around what amounts to hearsay as if it were fact — it just rubs me the wrong way. Nothing personal.

I also find it hard to believe that Palin, who’s married to a Yupik, for chrissakes, is as racist as the piece makes her out to be. I don’t discredit the possibility at all — it just doesn’t ring true. Personally, I’d loving nothing more than to see it borne out in attributed quotes, because that’d be the end of the Palien, and her boss as well.

If Sarah need to pick up a few extra bucks, she should license that graduation picture for use classmates.com ads.

OT, but needed.

I still haven’t mastered the link-y thing here [I follow what they tell me, but it never seems to work out], but here’s the URL for Friday’s The Daily Show. One of the BEST I’ve ever seen. Gets the Republicans where their lying, hypocritical asses live.

http://www.thedailyshow.com/fu…..eId=184108

The problem with saying that she’s probably not a bigot because she’s married to a man who is PART Native-American is that this assumes she’s being ideologically consistent. This is the same woman who is proud of her daughter’s “choice” to have a baby, but is stridently anti-choice, who whines about unkind attacks, while making some herself, who campaigns as a anti-pork reformer, but who has spent her career digging into Uncle Sam’s pockets. Besides, just because she’s married to someone with some Native-American ancestry doesn’t mean she likes every race. Witness Ms. Malkin, an Asian immigrant who dislikes immigrants and non-whites despite the obvious contradictions. It’s perfectly believable, given her political background, to think that Palin is a bigot and is not shy about expressing it.

Honestly I think the meme we should start up is that she is the evil queen bee from high school, the leader of the Heathers, Cordi Chase, and The Mean Girls all wrapped up in one pretty poisonous package.

I’ve been doing it in one sentence:

Sarah Palin really thinks she’s hot shit.

It’s not even gender-specific: don’t forget that she’s a jock, too. I don’t know how she can be presented as Everywoman Made Good when she so clearly thinks she’s better than everyone else. She’s a backstabbing, rumor-spreading bully who enjoys making people miserable. It really gives me terrible flashbacks.

Just wait until Sarah Palin thinks she’s addressing a “safe” crowd of “her” people–and one or more of them turn out to be justifiably horrified by her remarks and drop the dime on her. Once they let her out of Alaska, she won’t be in Alaska any more. Meaning there will be plenty of people whom she can’t fire or intimidate.

I think we can do better than this, don’t you?

Fight fire with fire, motherfuckers!

I agree with Mrs. TBB. I bet the first time we hear the “N word” spoken out loud and in public will be Palin before a “safe” audience…

You left out any town in Kern County, CA. You could drop the whole lot of them in Palin’s back yard and they wouldn’t know they’d left home.

Hee!!! Ironically, I love both arugula and espresso, our next car will probably be hybrid—and our family only owns one car (buses and walking otherwise). I’m even more evil than y’all thought!

And Ruthie, thank you very much for the compliment! Since I frequently find you quite witty as well, I really appreciate that.

On the queen bee thing. That was and continues to be my impression of this bitch. Ironically, many polls indicate that she comes across that way to independent women and Hillary supporters. The same women who no doubt were in band, got picked on by Klondike Barbie when they wore the wrong shoes and are REALLY looking forward to finally getting back at the prom queen.

Now where’s my robot bride?

Try one of these babies on for size.

Does anyone find this surprising?

Yeppers. You’re out of line.

Simply replace “According to Lucille, the waitress serving her table at the time and who asked that her last name not be used…” with “According to a reliable source who wishes to remain anonymous” and that will put you in the same league with every major newspaper in the US. Problem solved.

Anyone else had the thought that all this talk of Moose is dog-whistle for Moose-lims?

He’s 1/8 Yupik, as I understand it. Half the people I’ve ever met have been at least that much Native American.

So let’s get this straight, Palin embodies “good, small town, Republican values”: thus far, she’s shown herself to be a smug, lying, hypocrital, narrow-minded racist who belittles those who seek to truly do “Christian” work by helping others. At least that lazy (admits to not introducing ONE piece of legislation)GA cracker kept it “uppity”.

Okay, I feel the need to chime in on the Caribou Barbie dialog.

In high school I was an athlete but I went to a school that was small enough that I could also be nominated for the queenie things. And I knew then, as I know now, that were those girls who were ALWAYS going to win because they had the support of the majority of the school’s female population. These were the “Sarah Palins”. She was one of those girls whom we either thought we wanted to BE, or were willing to twist ourselves into a pretzel just to sit next to them at lunch. And in that hot bed of hormones and hopes, Sarah learned the art of manipulating her fellow females into doing her bidding….however distasteful it was.

As an adult woman, Tbogg and his ilk (penis Americans) have always been my best friends as I generally find that other women don’t share my interest in sports, politics and swear words. And while I do have a female “BFF”, I am, as a rule, more comfortable in the company of men.
And I still despise “girls” like Sarah. To the great detriment of the female of our species, many of us have never evolved beyond those high school roles. We are still trying to be part the “right” crowd and may still be willing to do whatever it takes to fit in….even finding an anti-choice, NRA supporting, wolf-killing, corrupt, arrogant, SMUG, evangelical, hypocritical, lying, corrupt (did I say that already?), mother-from-hell(just ask Bristol in a year) to be the right choice to move this country forward. Present female company on this site excluded.

If the Obama campaign is not willing to attack her on all fronts…corruption, political and religious views, pregnant 17 year-old daughter, marital affair…whatever presents itself…we may fall victim to those “girls” who still want to be a Heather. I say take off the gloves, go for the jugular and throw caution to the wind. The only way to bring them down is to play their game better than they do.This campaign needs to grow some bigger balls (sorry for the sexist reference) and start doing some serious body blocking.
At this point we have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

A friend of mine sent me this link, and I still can’t decide if this site is real or a spoof. The blogroll is all pretty solidly conservative/Republican, but………..well, people can’t really be this silly/stupid/evil, can they?

(Update) Some people find my linking to this wrong and, since I am aware of all internet traditions, I agree that I may have presented this link incorrectly.

T:

I, for one, was wondering what the hell took you so long to find this! I mean, when I can manage to unearth this trash at the end of an otherwise crappy day and there’s still nary a linky to the sordid contents on this website, I begin to wonder if you’re slipping. As for the whiners who expect you to maintain some polite pretense of “fair and balanced” coverage of the election festivities, this isn’t FAUX, it’s entertainment; and virtually EVERYTHING you read on the Internet is hearsay. Can we now resume carrying on and feeding trolls?

Zumpie & Mauimom:
The Spouse militated against me purchasing a Prius as my next car because he didn’t think their “wimpy engines” would be safe on So-Cal freeways. (Must be driven to be fully appreciated.) Then Al Gore III was busted for possession of marijuana after a car chase in which he was going over 100 m.p.h. near L.A. At that point, The Spouse had to grudgingly admit that maybe Priuses had better engines than he thought.

Thanks to Mrs. Tbogg for saying it so clearly. It’s sometimes better for women to say what Penis-Americans will be chastised for (and besides, most of them liked the Heathers in high school).

And for those who care: I bought my Prius over four years ago and I still get asked if you can drive it on the freeway. Yes, you can. And my husband, on the rare occasions I allow him to drive it (he has his own decidedly more studly vehicle) marvels at its performance on the highway. Still.

OMFG! That site is a hoot! The spelling and grammar are horrible and the logic is insane, even for a christianist right-winger. I think it must be a sham; one of their blogroll links is to Jesus’ General, the manly blogger.

I’m pretty sure it’s a joke (along the lines of Betty Bowers, America’s Best Christian), but it’s still mightly funny!

As poor spelling and lack of logic, you’d be amazed at the weird arguments fundies have given me on mainstream sites:

After I had posted about supporting Obama for silly things like ending the war, fixing the economy and spending our tax dollars HERE; one woman babbled on about “you need to understand most Americans don;t work for Fortune 500 companies, they work for small businesses in small towns. This is really the heart of America” And later more babbling about the same (when I basically asked what the eff that had to do with the price of tea in China) along with “they don’t care about the rest of the world, just the happiness of their families”. And someone else (the was very shortly after Klondike Barbie’s nomination) commented at least she was “scandle free”.

Cause no Repug ever gonna worry about logic or making sense!

Therefore, regarding the link above, please disregard my “Does anyone find this surprising?” and replace it with “Heh. Indeed” which shields me from any liability should this may turn out be complete bullshit while at the same time creating the illusion that I am a fair and balanced blogger which also may turn out be complete bullshit.

Now where’s my robot bride?Good one TBOG

I just love you way with the Truth !!!

Mrs. TBogg:

As an adult woman, Tbogg and his ilk (penis Americans) have always been my best friends as I generally find that other women don’t share my interest in sports, politics and swear words.

You wouldn’t by any chance be a fan of Florence King, would you?

If the Obama campaign is not willing to attack her on all fronts…corruption, political and religious views, pregnant 17 year-old daughter, marital affair…whatever presents itself…we may fall victim to those “girls” who still want to be a Heather. I say take off the gloves, go for the jugular and throw caution to the wind. The only way to bring them down is to play their game better than they do.

In order to play the game better than THEY do, you have to make sure you know what their game is. Yeah, Palin was a major sop for the evangelicals and the family values crowd. But they could have gotten the same bump in that demographic by anointing Huckabee–or even Karl Rove–for VP. (Let’s face it: It’s not like these people were going to rush out and vote for Obama if Romney or Lieberman got the nod….)

McCain is a straw candidate. If you believe any of the comments attributed to alleged McCain staffers on other websites, much of the time McCain has no clue what his “official position” is on an issue. (Given his intelligence, age and stunning incompetence, this seems plausible.)He seems to need a “minder.” (I had no idea McCain crashed 5 Navy aircraft! Kinda makes one wonder if the Navy left him in the POW camp instead of bartering for his release to save money.) In short, McCain needed a shield to get him through this election season so the Republicans don’t just stay home in droves. Palin is the metaphorical Depends(R) shielding his campaign from major leakage. Because the only thing that the wingnuts hate more than the possibility of a “Librul” Africanish-Muslimic-Madrassah-graduate President is the thought of backing an embarrassing loser.

Rove & Friends found McCain a pair of apron strings to hide behind, knowing full well that if the Dems attacked Caribou Barbie, that the wingnuts could play the gender discrimination card: See? SEE?! First they all voted AGAINST Billar–Hillary, then they snubbed her for the VP nomination. And now they’re trash-talkin’ OUR HISTORIC, FIRST FEMALE HOCKEY MOM VP NOMINEE–because they’re hypocrites–and because they just can’t STAND the possibility that we’re “changier” than THEY are!

This campaign needs to grow some bigger balls

Never expect “penis-Americans” to handle a woman’s job. In this case, the Democratic candidates’ hands–or tongues–are effectively tied. And god knows you can’t depend on the MSM for squat these days; but the Dems still have the largest, best educated, most eloquent and of course damned opinionated blogging base in the country. IMHO. And I think that most of us are capable of pointing out the difference between a “working mom” and a “crappy mom.”

A crappy mom uses her affiliations in her kids’ school-related activities as mere stepping stones to political positions, and treats her kids as props in campaign photo-ops. A crappy mom will make her kid go through with a pregnancy at age 17 and will insure that she keeps the baby, via shotgun wedding to a former jock and budding alcoholic with no prospects who will most likely mature into a spousal abuser.

A crappy mom is so emotionally distant from her special needs child that you can see it in the family photos. Palin’s “happy talk” about being a champion for “special education” almost made me choke on my popcorn. Trigg’s parents will NEVER have to deal with the gauntlet of IDEA or Section 504 of the Americans with Disabilities Act faced by most parents of children with special needs. As the son of a politician in a resource-rich state, Trigg’s future is safely assured: Education in a private facility and the best of care during his life–even if mom doesn’t give a rat’s a**.

Ruthie for your perspectives.. how enlightening we NEED more Ladies like you to tell the Truth about Sarah. You may have spewed your popcorn but I was screaming at the TV at every lie that spilled from her lipstick covered pig lips. My Sweetie w3as right there with me..lucky I only had soft things to through at it!! Check out ET Blog for all things Sarah his list is growing daily: http://progressivealaska.blogspot.com/
He is covering the police brutality this morning with an opening youtube of an actual abuse of peaceful protesters!

Shit THANK YOU Ruthie… type slower than I think:>(

Great post, Ruthie! And let me add, Mrs. Tbogg, you underestimate women in general. Just because some of us might’ve been that stupid in high school, doesn’t mean we are now that we’re all grown up.

Caribou Barbie plays prom queen to Hillary’s band geeks. They hated her for dissing their shoes in middle school and they’re looking forward to humiliating her now. Most polls reflect this: Caribou Barbie tracks far better with Indy Penis Americans (cause that’s what they’re thinking with) than she does with Indy Vagina Americans.

We wimmin folk just ain’t that stupid.

If it’s true that Palin made the “Sambo” crack, it’s not surprising. And if it isn’t true, how come it’s so easy to believe?

Palin must prove she did not make that comment.
ok. Playin’ the game the rethuglican way.
