Completely off topic here. May we have a pupdate please? Hope the entire family is feeling better.

To paraphrase Germaine de Staez, Speech is not her language.

That’s Just What I Said

And McCain was an “underdog” when, exactly?

The image that pops into my mind repeatedly while reading her drivel is Miss South Carolina. I can’t stop it.

I agree completely. Here is one snip from the debate, in response to a question about climate change:

I’m not one to attribute every man — activity of man to the changes in the climate. There is something to be said also for man’s activities, but also for the cyclical temperature changes on our planet.

So climate change doesn’t cause people, or their actions. That’s comforting.

Maybe they have her memorizing Bushisms in order to communicate with the base.

That was epic. Remember, though, that Bush basically was the same kind of non-eloquent back in ‘00, but very soon after he became preznit the MSM decided they’d proof read shit for him before publishing it, so his “quotes” became coherent and the illusion was created that he wasn’t, in fact, dumb as shit.

Oh, and Sarah: who the fuck got tasered in Alaska? Isn’t it Troopergate that remains an ugly ethical pimple on your butt? Or do you have more than Cliff notes in that snazzy little bag of yours to intimidate opponents?

I think tasergate refers to the fact that the Trooper that Sarah was trying to get fired had tasered her nephew. With the kid’s permission, but it’s still sleazy. Still doesn’t excuse the abuse of power, but it explains some of the motivation for it.

I cited a darker debate quote from Palin here, in which she seems to advocate preventive nuclear strikes against Iran and North Korea.

As in the case of W, we are left wondering: Did she really mean this? Did she know what she was saying? Did she bother to listen to understand the question? None of these possibilities leads to a warm fuzzy feeling about her as VP.

Palin’s remarks about being in the underdog position must have left Rich Lowry incapacitated.

Sarah Palin never talks about the future. Someone with 5 kids and a grandbaby on the way,and the future isn’t on her radar screen. Hmmm. Wonder why that is? I guess when you’re Rapture Ready,the future seems kinda bleak.

I really don’t think we need any more people who hate government or don’t believe in a bright future running ANY damned thing anymore. The more I think of this woman,the more disgusted I become.

Another keyboard cleaning needed. The image of Lowry like the guy in Brainstorm, the old Walken/Wood film, drooling to an endless loop of Palin…

Heard today that some foreclosed house – the keys mailed back presumably – in Gilbert AZ, was discovered by the realtor to have FIVE FULL GROWN ADORABLE DOGGIES left behind. By themselves. No food. Their people gone. The neighbor has taken them in, for the moment, but these are FIVE FULL GROWN DOGGIES – looks like two labrador mixes, a golden/shepherd mix and two guys who could be anything in the world and don’t understand anything about it.

Foreclosure.

In Sarah Palin’s case, I think the word refers to the maxim percentage of her statements which have some basis in reality.

I’m probably going to get flamed for linking to Andrew Sullivan, but Mr. TBogg has to know about this post.

Egregiously off topic.

Picked up from Andrew Sullivan’s place: Bassets for Obama. Cute.

Should have checked gbear’s link before I posted my own. Oops!

Thanks for the great picture to add to my .jpegs.

And now we see that someone is totin’ around the most terrrissst dogs imaginable– them basset hounds. Everyone knows them bassets is the most terrrrissst dogs on the face of the earth–more evidence you know someone is a terrorist if they be consortin’ with bassets. You want proof? Try reaching for Cannine Carryouts with two of ‘em sittin’ there and see how fast they go for your hand or snatch ‘em out of the air when you use ‘em as a jump ball.

All them terrrist Bassets is for Obama–I know two who have Obama T-shirts and buttons. If Obama gets in the White House between the Ludacris statues in the Rose Garden and Little Junior replacing “Hail to the Chief” this country could be taken over by terrrisst basset hounds. I seen it comin’ for a long time now.

Next thing we know the Obamas could get a Basset puppy and install it in the White House.

And mah girl Sayruhhh Moroncuda that adorable little energizer bunny who keeps on keepin’ on kickin’ more ass and takin’ more names with her cerebral, subtle, nuanced, comprehensive understanding made it clear yesterday where’s she’s comin’ from. Say-ruhh Bay-ruhh actually took questions from the press. And her answers were the best lil piece of articulate heaven this side of Ancourage goshdarnit.

I have a theory that everytime Say-ruhhh so much as burps or does anything with her mouth and a microphone at her handpicked rallies (wallpapered with pure bread board certified cretins) that Obama picks up a few electoral votes. Per Modo’s column Tuesday mah girl Sayruh was asked if she thought Obama was dishonest and she replied:

“I’m not saying he’s dishonest, but in terms of judgment, in terms of being able to answer a question forthrightly, it has two different parts to this. The judgment and the truthfulness and just being able to answer very candidly a simple question about when did you know him, how did you know him, is there still — has there been an association continued since ’02 or ’05, I know I’ve read a couple different stories. I think it’s relevant.”

And that’s all you need to hear to diagnose a genuine Moroncuda who is on the fastboat back to Wasilla. Just think of the babies you could make artificially inseminating with a Palin crowd hand picked from the land of the “Redneck Patriot Belt”. And vetting herself with the American people by refusing to appear anywhere but Hannity and Van Susteren for the next 28 days–if that’s not kickin’ ass and takin’ names goshdarnit/doggonit–I don’t know what is.

Dogonit Goshdarnit (wink wink) Jon Stewart has that fistbumpin’ terrisstt and Ayers lover Michelle Obama on tonight one half of the terrrisst couple. And last night Don Rickles nailed him as jello–the “jello terrrisst.”

Jeeze, that’s awful.

I wonder if it was done as a “fuck you” to the mortgage company, expecting the dogs to ruin the house.

Either way, that’s a human being I don’t want to be sharing air with.

I found her use of “goat rope” WRT TaserTroopergate (nice attempt to control the ol’ vocab there, CB! You betcha!) interesting. I’d always understood “goat roper” to mean the same thing as “redneck”, which would of course be a pot-kettle-black sort of thing for Caribou Barbie, but a quick look at My Lord and Saviour Wikipedia informs me that it’s a Marine synonym for “clusterfuck.” Aside from wondering from which Marine, and under what circumstances(and the precise nature of her relationship with that Marine, oh yes, sauce for the goose if you catch my drift) she picked up that slang, again we must celebrate that Gal Goat-Roper has given us a term by which we may address her that favors multiple layers of meaning. Truly, she is a cornucopia of schadenfreude.

Truly, she is a cornucopia of schadenfreude.

Every time I read the word “shadenfreude” my thoughts drift to Scalia, and how much it will gall what passes for the wingnut intellectual elite to vote for this twit. Yes, I believe I WILL have a glass of wine!
