Last week we had the conservative "hatefuck" shriekfest and today they take their new-found sensitive sides out for another spin around the block because David Letterman Top Ten-ed Sarah Palin’s "slutty flight attendant look". Of course everyone who even remotely remembers the last election cycle knows perfectly well that the approved descriptor for Palin is "naughty librarian" with all of its hints of booksmarts seeking to burst forth from beneath the confines of that crisply starched and provocatively unbuttoned white blouse.
On the other hand, slutty flight attendant = mile high club. So, sky-whore.
Over at Fire Andrea Mitchell…. No. Really. Niche blogging has reached a saturation point where there is actually an audience for a blog called Fire Andre Mitchell meaning that Fuck Al Roker With A Red Hot Poker can’t be too far behind. But, as I was saying, over at Fire Andrea Mitchell they’re huffing and puffing:
As it becomes more and more apparent as each show painfully passes by, how washed up liberal turd David Letterman is, he still needs to find some material that will appeal to at least some fringe elements. Last night’s show was no exception, as Letterman proclaimed: Sarah Palin has that “slutty flight attendant look”
Yowsa!
Oh look! At the bottom of the post, "related links" from the FiAnMi oeuvre:
Old Hag from Match Game and Golden Girls calls Sarah Palin ‘That is one crazy b*tch’
According to the old liberal hag Helen Thomas: We are all terrorists!
FiAnMi is also sensitive to the needs of their, in this case ‘non-readers’ who don’t have time to waste on one of those blog posts with all of their words and punctuation and such and such, so they provide quick cut-to-the-chase visuals:
At least they didn’t caption it "slutty".

Personally, I would not go after Letterman even if he bad-mouthed my mother. The rewards are too small, and the potential downside is too great. Of course the idea of those with Palin’s brown on their noses, who are likely to be Christianists and all, attacking someone for this sort of thing does indicate a certain unclarity on the whole “judge not, lest ye be judged/let he who is without sin cast the first stone” thing.
Republicans are just as savvy about humor as they are about running an economy, a war or taking on other families’ life support decisions.
Look how hard they’ve fought to prevent the seating of a comic to the US Senate, despite a legitimate election concluded 7 months ago. With all the woes this country’s facing, that’s what they most want to protect us from: laughter. It’s like a caricature fighting to oppose caricatures, a perpetual motion machine of self-parody that they try to stop with a green light.
Something I discovered in an old Yahoo political chat room: Anything goes when talking to or about Democratic women. Anything. But the least hint of anything slightly jokey about a Republican woman and they went apeshit.
I’m all for saying Letterman was wrong; he was. Fine and dandy. Now when someone makes a similar attack on a Democrat, I’m sure the right will be willing to see that as bad, right? Oh, wait, I forgot! IOKIYAR.
Fucking retarded penises. Not the least bit concerned about women, never the least bit funny.
Letterman was also not funny about Sotomayor, but he did give McCain a lot of shit about skipping his show and he was among the first mainstreamers to joke adversely about Bush. In the end, so what? He’s an EmEssEm comedian. You were expecting fucking Moses? His initial reviews sucked , too. See, eg, Exodus Ch 32 et seq. All this fuss about one shitty sexist joke – which I find offensive as to airline workers, not as to Palin – whipped up by the reich while so many of us say “Good on you, Ed Whelan, swell apology, don’t worry about paying Publius damages?” WTF? Geez.
All of this is misogynist, which in Republican circles is Big Funny. For the rest of us, it’s about as tired as quoting lines from the Bugaloos.
Flight Attendant? I thought her look was more “annoyingly aggressive realtor that would screw onstage to close a deal”. But that’s just me.
What a site! From the About page:
That would explain why he considers Andrea Mitchell to be the epicenter of liberal media bias. Apparently a comment Mitchell made about the Obama/McCain Rick Warren interviews spurred him to action.
moondancer: or a Real Housewife of Matanuska Susitna County?
“annoyingly aggressive realtor that would screw onstage to close a deal”.
Bwah! So true
Tbogg, I really don’t know what cesspools you wade through to find these sites, but I hope you wear a hazmat suit and have a Silkwood strength shower nozzle for clean up afterwards.
They complain about Lettermans jokes about Palin. Then they have the gall to have a picture on their sidebar of the Obamas dog with Michelle’s head photoshopped in. Contemptible hypocrites. Makes me want to go full metal JDM3 on them.
Republicans are just as savvy about humor as they are about running an economy, a war or taking on other families’ life support decisions.
Two words: Dennis Miller.
FiAnMi: proudly raising the level of discourse! “Hag,” it’s a term of endearment!
Three more: An American Carol.
sorry off topic, but go enter now!
It’s funny that they pretend to be outraged by sexual innuendo directed at Palin, as if her entire appeal for them wasn’t sexual. It’s almost like their imaginary girlfriend has been insulted.
Wait. Why do conservatives want to fire Mrs. Andrea Greenspan?
When I was a girl, flight attendants were called “stewardesses” (or, if you flew for TWA, “hostesses”), and you were fired when you got married, gained weight, wore glasses, and/or turned 30 or 32, depending on the airline. Under the standards of my yoot (just a few miles from LAX, surrounded by airline personnel), SP is disqualified to be a flight attendant by at least three of those criteria. THAT’S why the quip caught my attention!
Leave Al Roker alone!!!
Speaking of niche blogging, there’s a new blog called “Not Tucker Carlson” started by right wingers whom, I guess, aren’t fans of The Bow-Tied One.
Probably not for any sane reason, though….
