Sarah Palin, starring in “America’s Worst Mother 2009″, coming to Fox this fall!

waiting for the rescue crews to show

A responsible, fiscally conservative governor would cut that crap out of the budget toute suite!

My favorite bit:

John Ziegler: That number is absurd. I have no idea what the number was because we were on Broadway for heaven sakes but I must have had 10 people ask for an autograph or photo.

“Scuse me… aren’t you the guy from that dating show who was talking to your date with your mouth full? Cool, can you sign this?”

we were on Broadway for heaven sakes

I saw the video. There may have been 15 sheep in the “free-speech” pen. The protestors were hardly blending into the huge crowd of pedestrians.

Also, Sarah Palin’s 15 minutes are just about up. (Please?) My guess is she won’t even go for gubernatorial reëlection in 2010, & not because she’s flush w/ money & prepping for Armageddon 2012.

What’s funny is that she’s not even trying to make news. It’s apparently the media and folks like you that can’t get over her. I can’t even stand her and wish you folks could lay off the stalking bit.

And that’s reality.

For someone who’s “not even trying to make news,” Palin is showing up in the lower 48 states for teevee appearances an awful lot.

I just now woke up,,so I’m still a bit fuzzy. I mention this because it is so unusual for me to loudly laugh at this still obscene time of the morning. Thank You Mr. TBogg. You really do crack me up.

I guess the fund-raiser is needed because the crystal-meth selling operation got shut down when her sister-in-law got busted. Gotta have some sort of revenue stream!

Unfortunately the firm that was hired to provide the audio equipment did not provide a speaker and there was no way to gather the crowd.

Damned audio equipment firm! If that bank of speakers had been in place, the mighty voice of John Ziegler would have called millions to rally to the cause! The enraged multitudes would have dragged Letterman from his dressing room and beheaded him on the spot, then razed the Ed Sullivan theater and sown the ground with salt. Instead, they had to content themselves with a bunch of grumpy yentas and a guy screeching, “You think you’re SOOOOOO smart!”

JZ is a man of many excuses.

Ever wanted to piss away your money?

HELP FILL ALASKA’S BLADDER. Currently 22% full. Only with your help can Governor Palin give America the golden shower it needs in 2012.

This is good news for John McCain.

I *loved* that line. Uh, an audio equipment firm that “forgets” the speakers? That’s the kind of grand mal fail that only true red-blooded Republicans could appreciate.

Oh, and if John Z was so impressed by the sheer mass of Palinesque humanity that showed up to protest on Broadway, shouldn’t he have had the presence of mind to whip around the ol’ hat and ask for contributions to her legal fund?

I’m pretty sure that in New York, you need a permit to use audio equipment on the street. I suspect the rental firm asked Ziegler to produce a permit, and when he blew it off, they didn’t give him the stuff. Unless Ziegler made the whole thing up, which is also a strong possibility.

You know, for something like $40 he could have picked up one of those hand held bullhorns. But he prefers to be a victim. He’s just a fuckup.

I guess the fund-raiser is needed because the crystal-meth selling operation got shut down when her sister-in-law got busted. Gotta have some sort of revenue stream!

Or she could just make it up by continuing to abuse state funds for personal use.

Or taking a cut of some of that stimulus money, she, gosh by golly, was never gonna take.

Or just get all her clothes through the RNC trust fund set up for her last year.

Or dip into the extra money welfare state Alaska soaks up in federal funds from the blue states (like my New Jersey).

Or dip into the socialist payback funds she gets from the oil companies and drops from helicopters onto the Alaskan proletariat.

Or dip into the Bridge From Nowhere money she wasn’t gonna take, but did anyway, even thought the bridge wasn’t built (again, with Blue State tax funds).

Also.

So putting aside the idiotic “audio firm that forgot the speakers” story for a second,

I also really never cared about the numbers. I had nothing to do with getting people out there.

So in other words, John, if nobody showed up, it wouldn’t have mattered either? Love how you guys don’t care about numbers unless it furthers your cause.

Also,

but I must have had 10 people ask for an autograph or photo.

sounds awfully self-promotional, although I’m sure you are using it in a wierdly illogical way to prove there were more people there. Anyway, to tell you the truth (to paraphrase an old commercial) I wouldn’t know who John Z was if he was to walk up, bite me on the bottom and say “I’m here!”

This just proves that Obama has already locked up the Real Americans from Real America in concentration camps because the Real Americans would have sent Sarah a gazillion bajillion dollars.

Unfortunately the firm that was hired to provide the audio equipment did not provide a speaker and there was no way to gather the crowd.

This reminds me of the time I worked in event planning for a non-profit that wanted to hold a press conference outdoors in a park to unveil a new feature. In my first meeting with the PR person, I asked her a logistical question – “Do you think you’ll need a sound system?”

“No,” she replied, “just a microphone.”

I want Levi to write (if possible) a tell-all book about his fellow Snowbillies!

Now, THAT would bitchin’.

Am I the only one who read that as Conservatives 4 Pain?

“…but there were still three days left and things were picking up steam just like a snowball rolling downhill that becomes an avalanche that engulfs and smothers a small town destroying all signs of life until the spring thaw comes and the bodies, their faces frozen in twisted silent screams of terror, are recovered by grim-faced men who have seen to much death and pain and sorrow.”

You should enter that in The Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest.

oh i get it .. someone’s holding you at gunpoint and making you come here and read stuff that offends your sensibilities .. eh ??

pfffbbllttt !!!

Meanwhile the media sought out those that they thought would make the event look as bad as possible

Oh, for crissakes. I was there. Among the demonstrators, there was nobody else to seek out. And in a crowd that small (by NYC standards), if there were any “voices of reason,” how freaking hard would it have been for them to get to the video cameras and microphones? I was milling around freely, and I may have even inadvertently gotten on Air America when I started counterheckling some Dittohead. Anybody who wanted to put a better face on the protest could have just walked up to a camera or mic and done so. That didn’t happen because there were no rational-seeming protestors.

kama,

Let’s do the math. Extrapolating from the assumption that one person in a million would recognize JZ AND want his autograph (and I am being generous), that would mean that 10 million people were present.

QED

Yeah, as I recall from living there years back, you drop a quarter on the street in NYC and you’re sure to have more than 15 people on the spot within a second. Hard to believe Ziegler (who totally wasn’t trying to get out the crowds, but had tried — and failed — to hire audio equipment just in case) couldn’t make it happen for his girl Sarah (who totally doesn’t want to get on the news, she’s just so darn gosh newsworthy, what with her hockey mom smarts and Alaskan good looks).

You know, for something like $40 he could have picked up one of those hand held bullhorns. But he prefers to be a victim. He’s just a fuckup.

I suspect Ziegler isn’t as excited about publicity arrests as he used to be.

you are too hard on sarah palin.

first you subject her to well-known ambush predators like airhead charlie gibson and katie happy-talk-on-the-couch-with-matt couric. then you ask her gotcha questions like ’what newspapers do you read?’ it’s just not fair.

she’s young.

shut up shut up shut up! (sorry. sometines the voices in my head try to start their own thread.)

she can still learn.

shut up shut up shut up!

Every video of JZ I’ve ever seen suggests that instead of oxygen, he just alternates between breathing in helium and nitrous oxide. Not only are the words themselves ridiculous, but he seems incapable of speaking without like there is a slide-whistle and a frog duking it out in his voicebox.

My guess is that the sound person heard him speak and thought to himself, “there is no way that in good conscience I can allow this voice to be publicly amplified and thrust unfairly upon innocent bystanders,” and simply told John that (s)he “forgot” the speaker.

Obviously the reason he is getting away with it is that the media considers anything negative about Palin and even her family to be fair game.

Neo-con Ziegler is playing the “Fair Game” card” to defend the victimized slutty stewardess Palin. But that has been used already by KKKarl Rove to attack Valerie Wilson. In fact Valeries’s book and movie have the same title so using “Fair Game” could be free publicity.

Chris Matthews called me and said, “I just got off the phone with Karl Rove. He says, and I quote, ’Wilson’s wife is fair game.’”

Maybe she can make up the shortfall by starring in “Nailin’ Palin 2.”

… but I must have had 10 people ask for an autograph or photo.

Liar.

can anyone enlighten me as to why Palin has so many legal bills?

She has many ethical complaints lodged against her. Most of the money is for attorney fees.

Here’s an article explaining it:

As for Mr. Z., he needs to shut up while he’s just slightly behind because every time he talks, he digs himself further into the hole.

This just begs treatment from Tbogg…

Is this Ziegler any relation to Nixon’s Ziegler?

I’m really dying to know who gave to that fund, especially if they’re in my neck of the woods, just so that I could go up to them and say, “You do know that she’s going to get a seven-figure advance for her book, right?”

Yeah but chica needs that for her clothing and make up bills and, oh yeah, to pay for upkeep on her two eldest delinquent children. Right?

“Clearly the media has decided this is over …”

Or… just speculating here, it could be that like actual thinking human beings, they heard that Letterman apologized (twice) and that Palin accepted his apology.

It’s over you useless tool.

…Or maybe he’s referring to 1 in 10 of the roughly 15 protesters that were actually there. One-tenth is 1.5 autographs; but since you can’t have a fractional autograph, we’ll assume that there was one alleged “autograph seeker,” who in reality had probably just lifted JZ’s wallet, and wanted to be able to run up his credit cards at the fine consumer establishments in Mid-town Manhattan!

i’m gonna miss these people when they all rapture outta here.
