Obviously the Real Americans!

“Dr. Dobson encourages listeners to pray for our country as the election draws near.” Pray? Fine, whatever floats his boat. Meanwhile, Democratic pundits hopefully will encourage their listeners to go vote — I think history will show that, at election time, it’s really much more efficient at getting the results you’re after.

How much are we willing to bet that Dobson won’t be asking Bible Spice if she has any fashion tips for “real America”?

The wily Palin knows that anyone other Hannity, et al, is just a biased old liberal and they’ll ambush her with a trick question like, “What is the Bill of Rights?”

“Governor Palin, true or false. The Constitution is just a goddamned piece of paper.”

Give the lady a break! Enough of these third-graders and their “gotcha” journalism, asking ridiculous questions like — “What does the Vice President do?”

I mean, what do the pro-America American people really want to know about Sarah Palin?

“Other than Jesus or God, who is your favorite Bible character?”

Let’s be real, Americans…

“Gosh, Cliff, you know, they’re just all, you know, they’re just all my favorites. Even that mean old guy with the horns — he sort of reminds me of my running mate, you betcha!”

Preaching to the choir is all they got. They can’t let anyone ask her real questions, for fear that she might answer.

“Other than Jesus or God, who is your favorite Bible character?”

Well, Cliff… My favorite Bible character is Barabbus. I think he is the perfect metaphor for our times. If you don’t know what a metaphor is, look it up. If your Bible skilz are a bit rusty, allow the “librul” to enlighten you:

Barabbus was one of two other men sentenced to death by crucifixion along with Jesus. Sensing the possibility for political unrest if Jesus was crucified, Pilate allowed the gathering throng to choose one man from among the three to be freed. The crowd overwhelmingly chose Barabbus–the thief– over Jesus, who was a decent man. Maybe Barabbus was better looking; perhaps he just said what the crowd wanted to hear. The crowd bought it.

And just like the crowd in Jerusalem, the wingnuts are prepared to vote for thieves who tell them what they want to hear, rather than decent people who would like to help make the world a better place.

Deal, troll.

Her job is to keep throwing red meat to the fringe right so they don’t lose heart and stay home. McCain can’t hold anyone right now.

Exactly. They can’t send her home to Alaska, because that would show that they know she can’t handle it. So she has to talk to someone, but someone who will ask simple questions really slowly and not actually listen to the answers.

[[Shouldn’t she have their audiences in the bag by now?]]

She’s playing defense. It’s all she’s got left.

TBogg:

Can someone please explain to me exactly which voters Sarah Palin is reaching out to…

It’s not about reaching out. It’s about punishing and sending a message: to those reporters and interviewers who would ask difficult questions like “What does the VP do?”

.

Just reading the phrase “weiner-dog whacker” makes me wince, but in a good way.

I really wonder if she could answer that. “Um, you know… that one guy with the boat?”

“Noah or Peter?”

“Gosh darn it, now you’re just playin’ gotcha, you betcha.”

SP: “No… [THINKING AN’ WINKING] Uhmmmm–Jonah! That’s IT!”
COURIC: “But…Jonah was the O.T. character who was swallowed by the whale…”
SP: “There you go again with with that ‘Gotcha Journalism!’ Whale, fish, boat–they’re pretty much the same thing where I come from, Katie!”
COURIC [SMILES WANLY AND THINKS TO HERSELF]: Yeah, and shit floats too, Barbie.

Come on what woman wants to kill? In a helicopter shes a real sportswoman ooh I can shoot em down

“Deal, troll?? Moi? Do I know what “metaphor” means?

Yeah, do you know what “irony” means?

Jeebus, Ruthie, I’ve been posting here almost a year…

My understanding is that the Smithsonian Institute has a special wing reserved for the last McCain-Palin “Real American”. As soon as the mythical beast can be trapped and sedated, anyway.

Grr, Institution, not institute. Proofreading is your friend.

Do you actually know what Cheney does–aside from that rumor that he gargles frequently with hydrogen peroxide followed by a scotch chaser? Any REAL wingnut would KNOW that you can’t ask a question like “What does the VP do?” on TV. If he told you, he’d have to have you killed!

That rumor is false. Cheney clearly gargles only with brimstone and hot lava.
