Ever since Ellie May Wasillabilly danced around the issue of whether she ever reads anything outside of housewife porn and the bible she’s been making a special effort to prove that she does too read important stuff. First she pointed out that she reads ""The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal and The Economist."
I wasn’t aware that the Economist carried Marmaduke. Live and learn.
Then she proved that she reads the New York Times by mentioning that they wrote something about that colored fella who is running against McMaverick:
“There is a lot of interest, I guess, in what I read and what I’ve read lately. Well, I was reading my copy of today’s New York Times and I was interested to read about Barack’s friends from Chicago."
Please note the possesive "my copy of today’s New York Times". Subtle.
Now, in an overt attempt to grab the soccer mom vote, she turns to their favorite source of information:
"I was readin’ on my Starbucks mocha cup, okay? The quote of the day? You’ll never believe what the quote was. It was Madeline Albright, the former Secretary of State and UN Ambassador, and Madeline has to say as her quote of the day for Starbucks, now she said it and I didn’t, she said, "There’s a place in hell reserved for women who don’t support other women."
Given her new found appreciation for the written word I, for one, look forward to her warming up the crowds with a few Bazooka Joe jokes.
Oh yah, he’s some kinda funny guy with one of his eyes all missin’, you betcha’…

Not to mention her extensive library of Dixie Riddle Cups…
“I was readin’ on my Starbucks mocha cup, okay? The quote of the day? You’ll never believe what the quote was. It was Madeline Albright, the former Secretary of State and UN Ambassador, and Madeline has to say as her quote of the day for Starbucks, now she said it and I didn’t, she said, “There’s a place in hell reserved for women who don’t support other women.”
A single irony particle can pass undetected through Ms. Mooseburger’s cranium, although it must be said that irony particles tend to go straight *over* her head instead. This is a problem that affects everyone who is seriously considering voting for McSame/Mooseburger. Scientists have theorised that some sort of Large Forehead Smacker may be needed to test for any observable effects.
..and she managed to misquote the Starbucks cup. Too many big words, I guess. Madeline said “There’s a place in Hell reserved for women who don’t help other women.”
You know, like women who charge other women for rape kits.
Just sayin’…………
She can say “caricature” now too, you betcha.

I heard the clip, and I thought she said “I was reading _a_ copy of today’s New York Times”.
Whichever copy she was reading, I’m sure that some staffer had gone through it to highlight the bits that she should read.
Oh, and isn’t Starbucks full of latte-sippin libs? I thought Real Folks get their warm beverages at the gas station/convenience store. What an elitist.
That link to “housewife porn” was totally not what I was hoping it would be.
Here is another quote from a Starbucks cup:
But, something tells me if she reads from any more paper cups anytime soon, it’ll be the religious markers on In-N-Out packaging.
That woman is just a nasty shithead. It’s amazing that she is an actual American political figure, but a nasty shithead is all she is. Know what I mean? She’s nasty and she’s a shithead — or in other words, she’s a nasty shithead.
I thought you were making up that Starbucks thing. You weren’t. Reality has surpassed your ability to satirize.
As noted, the REAL quote is:
And call me crazy, but I think forcing rape and incest victims to not only pay for their rape kits, but to also force them to have the baby of their attacker is hardly what I’d call “helping” other women. And I hope Albright is right and there is a place in Hell reserved for Palin.
Cool link, nylund. I love In-N-Out burgers N fries, but they took a hard right when they dropped the slogan “In-N-Out. That’s what it’s all about.” I guess that was too suggestive of the evolutionary imperative.

Palin likely had the twisted version of Albright’s quote in her head because Shelly “Last of the Red Hot PUMA’s” Mandell used it when introducing Palin at brief appearance in Carson, CA, on Friday. The Carson hoi-polloi stop lasted all of twenty minutes with an additional fifteen minutes for pictures and autographs. Palin then swept on to a ninety minute appearance at a high buck fundraiser at the Costa Mesa Performing Arts Center.
Although there are many members of the press here on the Left Coast, Palin has opted to take questions from none of them.
That’s not correct. I’m sure the quote is “There’s a special place in Hell for women who kill hundreds of thousands of Iraqi children.” No? Well, my memory isn’t what it used to be.

“There’s a place in hell reserved for women who don’t support other women.”
There’s a place in hell for Madeline Albright, I hope, because if there isn’t, then God ain’t real.
Btw, either Palin or Starbucks got the quote wrong. It should read “help other women”.
If I hear one more “moran” make the case that it’s sexist to call Palin a bimbo I’m going to fucking scream. I’m a woman and a feminist and Palin is a BIMBO in allcaps, and an embarrassment to all womankind. As Maher pointed out to Nader a week ago, Palin is at least the bimbo George Bush is.
Of course, what the article failed to mention was how Ms. Palin had to change out of her Sears pantsuit as she forgot to wait till the cup was empty before tipping it up to read it.
My money’s on Palin.
Sounds like somebody’s confusing “helping other women” with “supporting each and every individual other woman,” or even “supporting this particular other woman—me!”
Didn’t the conservatards decide some time ago that Starbucks is an IslamofascistLiberalelitecoffeecaterer? Did Palin not get this memo?
I was thinking back…
Remember when that old guy was running for President on the Republican party ticket, and he chose that ”pro-life” woman as his running mate and we were actually concerned they might win for a minute, until she performed a late-term abortion on live TV, during the VP debates, of both her credibility and her political prospects?
Oh, it was over as quickly as a few winks of an eye, or a ”you betcha, Joe” or a shout-out to 3rd graders, but all of America agreed that even at five-weeks, her candidacy just wasn’t viable.
Her performance trying to wink and flirt her way into the Vice Presidency was embarrassing. Humiliating. It made me ashamed of my gender, and furious at the type of people who think this is how a serious woman should behave. I mean, a shout-out? Did she think she was at the MTV Music Video Awards?
Funny. The only quote I ever saw on a Starbucks mocha cup was something dreamed up by corporate counsellike:
By the way, someone should point out that there is an even more special place in hell for women like Palin, who try to “guilt trip” other women into supporting stupid men so the guilt-tripper can excuse herself by saying whe wasn’t the only one….
Lesley: It’s not sexist; it’s inaccurate. Palin is the political equivalent of a crack-whore. She’s already demonstrated she’d sacrifice her own family to get what she wants.
Just spent a few minutes checking up on the glue sniffers over at noquarter. In addition to their usual hallucinations, they’ve apparently now got a horde of “Lesbians for Palin” stomping around declaring that she’s such a peachy deal both for the LGBT community and for women in general.
Don’t bother heading over there unless you have a hankering for a migraine or a penchant for watching political road kill, but it really just boggles the mind how warped that crowd has gotten…
The “Lesbians for Palin” bit would be far more convincing if Palin wasn’t a charter member of Ladies Against Women.
A fellow I worked with who was born and raised in Italy informed me years ago that, technically, a bimbo is male (and he assured me that the slur is used in that country for men). To be correct, Palin is a bimba.
I haven’t heard anyone objecting to women calling her a bimba, so let’s use that one. I’m an old feminist and I used to be a den mother (neither kid played hockey) and I can assure you, Palin is truly a bimba.
(Ruthie @ 22 is actually the most accurate description, but we might get away better with “bimba”
This BS has got to come from Margaret Cho saying on Craig Ferguson’s show “I’d like to fuck her.” He asked, “Really?” She replied, “Oh, yeah. I’d never vote for her in a million years, but, sure, I’d fuck her.”
So the wingnuts will extrapolate that to mean that all lesbians love Sarah Palin. You betcha.
Ellie May Wasillabilly….I am SO stealing that one. Thanks TBogg…..you are the best!
Must be those “ruby slippers.” Teh gays positively swoon over anything remotely associated with rainbows and Judy Garland. Must be some sorta code….
We might as well go full metal “Spanglish” and call her a vendida.
Perhaps if we printed The Issues on the back of cereal boxes, Sarahtollah might be better informed…
Yah, those poopyheads in the newspaper, with their gosh-darn factcheckers. That’s why she has to read those darn newspapers, they’re always checkin’ those facts.
I have a fondness for Palinky & the McBrain

There’s a place in hell reserved for women who…
… murder wolves from planes with machine guns.
… ban books.
… put their narcisistic ambitions above the good of their country.
