The best reason she can up with for her election is a story pitch for an Adam Sandler movie?

By six-pack she means a guy with a beer gut who drinks 6 on his lunch break, not one who’s working out at the gym. Not that it matters, just sayin’.

An American with that kind of six-pack is, by definition, not normal.

Since when is being smart so awful? I don’t know when it happened,but even at SCHOOL it’s not ok to be smart anymore. Is every kid being raised by The Moran Family now?

I was wondering when someone would make the connection between Roman and Sarah. During that period, we tried to invent a variant of high-low poker in which the most mediocre hand won. We found it hard to agree on which would be MOST MEDIOCRE, since this would be an oxymoron — like “compassionate conservative” or “Vice President Palin.”

Don’t forget, Carswell was arrested and convicted of battery for advances he made to an undercover police officer in a Florida men’s room, a la Larry Craig.

Sarah Palin:

It’s time that normal Joe six-pack American is finally represented in the position of vice presidency

How does an unaffiliated Dominionist and secessionist, wanna-be book-banning, snowbilly governor of America’s 2nd most distant state qualify as even remotely “normal Joe sixpack”?

Wouldn’t normal Joe sixpack, by definition, be from the oldest and most populous region of the US - somewhere east of the Mississippi?

Please, someone explain this too me. Or not. She’s a Republican. It’s probably not supposed to make sense.

BTW - Has Stalkin’ Malkin and her flying monkeys faithful readers tracked down the guy in Philly who asked Caribou Barbie about Pakistan yet? I’m expecting them to “discover” that the guy made a contribution to Obama’s campaign, and you know what that means…

Palin in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington? I don’t think so. First, she’s more like Elmer Gantry than she is like Jefferson Smith. Second, if the country was in great shape the idea of having Joe six-pack American a feeble heartbeat away from the presidency might have a bit of kitschy appeal. At this point it’s going to take more than a few empty headed homilies backed by a lot of contempt to navigate us through the mess that Bush leaves behind.

And why should professorships and surgical staff positions be the exclusive domain of smarty-pants poindexters?

Funny, I was just watching Idiocracy last night. I’d be more comfortable with President Camacho than President Palin.

But oh what fun it would have been if he had been appointed. He got to the men’s room stall years ahead of Larry Craig.

In 1976, Carswell was arrested and convicted of battery for advances he made to an undercover police officer in a Florida men’s room;[3] some claim him as the first homosexual or bisexual nominated to the Supreme Court. [4] Carswell subsequently withdrew from public life.[citation needed] He returned to the private practice of law and then lived in retirement until his death

Countertops. don’t forget, he probably has granite countertops. *So* effin’ elitist. What — laminate not good enough for your arugula, huh?

Yep, stupid *so* rules. Enough with the eggheads and experts — let the common folk in. Who needs brain surgeons anyway? I bet your average Joe with a meat cleaver could do it just as well.

So the average American is an ex-beauty queen with five kids who can field dress a moose? Give me a break. If she were a middle manager in a cubicle, had two kids and spent her leisure time watching American Idol then i might believe it. But let’s face it, she’s got about as much in common with ordinary Americans as Angelina Jolie. She just fits the wingnut-approved stereotype, that’s all.

Ab-so-fucking-lute-ly NOT! I do not want “an average Joe” in political office. I want the best, brightest, most knowledgeable people I can get running things. “Average Joes” are what created the mess we are in and will only make it worse.

How does an unaffiliated Dominionist and secessionist, wanna-be book-banning, snowbilly governor of America’s 2nd most distant state qualify as even remotely “normal Joe sixpack”?

Exactly. If the repukes wanted “normal Joe sixpack”, they should have gone with a Reagan Democrat, racist, sexist, homophobic ex-steelworker from Western Pennsylvania. You know, the “bitter” ones that cling to their guns and religion (h/t Obama).

I’ve been making phone calls for Obama here in Western PA, and it ain’t pretty. I especially love the Hillary supporters. They can overcome their sexism, but voting for the black dude is just nagonnahappen.

I just figure this guy is from northern Virginia - Congressman Moran.

Like I said (too soon) in the prior post, box of rocks baby, box of rocks. Sure some of them can be pretty rocks, or interesting in some way, but they are still a bunch of frickin’ rocks and they should NOT be anywhere near being paired with Angry McCancerface for election to lead what used to be a pretty nice democracy.

That’s helpful, you fucking elitist. We need the moran vote.

A winner on the first try!

Since when is being smart so awful? I don’t know when it happened,but even at SCHOOL it’s not ok to be smart anymore.

Since 1980 or so, in a lot of the country. Here in Utah smart has never been cool, in school or out - I know from personal experience that it was not OK in the 1970s.

In 1980 in a classroom in Northern California I showed my 97 pre-calculus test score to someone who asked, and I spent the next four years hiding my light under a bushel. Oddly enough, he went on to be a meth addict turned minister to the poor, and I went on to MIT and an exciting career in engineering — but even to this day I’m wary about sounding too smart in a crowd of strangers.

Fucking deltas…

What, Ted Agnew didn’t count? Or did his law degree and awesome alliterations make him too elitist for Palin? Or does she even know who Agnew was?

My favorite part of the interview, though, is where she strayed from the talking points and accidentally told the truth:

HH: Last question, Governor. Have you and Todd heard from your son? And how is it on your nerves having your son deployed?

SP: That little stinker, I guess he’s called his girlfriend a couple of times, but can you believe he hasn’t called his momma yet?

Oh, momma. Not quite getting it yet, aren’t we? Does the third-oldest have to run away and end up on a Saskatoon street corner before it sinks in?

It might be okay to have an average Joe or Jane in the White House except for all the sharks circling around who would turn him/her every which way but left.

I’ve got six-pack abs but I keep’em in the soft pack cooler.

That’s Just What I Said

Wouldn’t normal Joe sixpack, by definition, be from the oldest and most populous region of the US - somewhere east of the Mississippi?

You mean, like, somebody from America’s very first state? Delaware? Really? I’ll go for that.

Also, I wonder how many “normal Joe Sixpacks” have a million dollar lakeside home, a private airplane, couple of snowmobiles and a coveted and rare commercial fishing license gained by family legacy. And they say that Todd and Sarah had a combined income of a quarter million bucks last year. I’m sure there are a lot of Joe Sixpacks out there just like ‘em.

What, no one has brought up Harrison Bergeron?

McTheusaleh thinks $5MM makes you middle class, after all. I’m a little shy of that, like most of it: how ’bout y’all?

xpurg8d @ 24:

You mean, like, somebody from America’s very first state? Delaware? Really? I’ll go for that.

Heh. Exactly.

.

When Palin was picked, it reminded me of the teevee movie version of Harrison Bergeron, where a woman is called at random and told she’s been picked to be President.
