“I was dazzled and mesmerized! I give it two thumbs up!” Masterfully done, Tbogg.

spot on

“Don’t miss it if you can” — Martha Mitchell

see what happens when you can’t rely on the kindness of strangers …

Brilliant, but there’s one more line I’d like to see in the sequel:

Joe Gillis: [narrating] The poor dopes – they always wanted a custom house. Well, in the end, they got themselves an indictment.

I match your Gloria Swanson playing Norma Desmond with Carol Burnett playing Gloria Swanson playing Norma Desmond.

Following the resignation speech…a roast.

Actually, Sarah Palin only dreams it went as well as the final scene from Sunset Boulevard.

Sorry, nothing less than an instant Tina Fey special will do. How about tonight instead of the SNL re-run?

Don’t they sometimes run a special segment on their re-runs?

Good morning everyone.

Being a popular culture moron, I have no additions to your pop roast of Palin. But am enjoying it.

Or would a pot roast be better than a pop roast?

watching the explanations on “FOX”,PRICELESS!!

The rest you can buy with Master Card.

Could we call Palin’s political career a flame out?

AK reporter on WJ sez that the anti-abortion folks just luv them some Palin as a spokeswoman. No matter what my cause, I’d cringe if Palin were prominently supporting it. Guess that shows just how blind they are.

Also, Tis a far, far better thing…

R caller on WJ sez it’s all ACORN’s, Soros’s, union’s faults. They’re all against Palin and you can’t fight such a machine.

So long, and thanks for all the moose

perfect!

hey Mr TBogg,

some Patterico love for ya

I hope you’re proud of yourself mister

So . . . this finally explains that opening scene of John McCain floating face down in the swimming pool.

Fucking blazing wit, fucking Patterico. What an odd little penis he must be. Speaking of that, how cool would it be if Mrs. Governor Sarah wound up in Bob Stroud’s cell at McNeil, especially if Charlie Manson’s bunk wasn’t available? I think a nice, historic Pacific Northwest slammer is what we’re looking for here.

Photoshopped Trig reminds me of the baby in “Twenty Six Rabbits Run Wild,” but on really shitty acid.

From the Patterico love:

Tbogg is a disgusting oozing infected fistula on the chocolate starfish of humanity.

This guy has a harrowing imagination — or personal experience.

Looks like we have a potential embezzlement case a la Palin: http://thinkprogress.org/2009/…..na-scandal

If you are going to go for a taste of mutual large dollar back-scratching, you need to do it someplace where the project involved isn’t some huge boondoggle that nearly bankrupts the city in question (is Wasilla big enough for “city” status?). Amateurish really.

Perhaps Sister Sarah has simply found her “soul mate”……and he’s Mark Sanford.

It’s just as I imagined. Thanks for sharing. And the tribute to DNA.

The comment section at Patterico features some major-league pissed-off wingnuttia.

Tbogg, did you know you (and Arianna) are “sick, bile-filled, despicable pieces of crap”?

Keep up the good work, tbogg. If you had anything to do with Caribou Barbie resigning, you should be inducted into the Patriot’s Hall of Fame, along with Letterman, Todd Purdam, etc.

Douglas Adams would be proud of your title, not to mention the Norma Desmond clip.

Ok, here’s a good one from Patteco’s comments:

“In the near future, however, TBogg and millions more like him will become part of Obama’s ‘civilian national security force’ which Obama says will be ‘as well equipped and as strong as our military’ and will be given real power…and guns.

The ‘brownshirts’ of any society are always the uneducated, mindless, hate-filled dregs of the population.

These thugs have no real allegiance or connection with their countrymen; in fact, like Obama, they grew up learning only hate for their country and contempt for their fellow citizens.

Therefore they will have no problem with doing Obama’s ‘wet work’; kicking down doors, terrorizing his opponents, intimidating voters, being agents provocateur, perhaps eventually even confiscating guns and making political arrests.”

And I thought we were all lilly-livered weaklings.

Patteco’s comments link please also it sounds like GOP projection again its the tea baggers, Minute men, Nazi’s listening to hate radio, Glen Beck etc who are shooting people.

TBogg what film was that clip from some historical perspective for philistines like me would be cool.

Therefore they will have no problem with doing Obama’s ‘wet work’; kicking down doors, terrorizing his opponents, intimidating voters, being agents provocateur, perhaps eventually even confiscating guns and making political arrests.”

I sure hope I don’t end up on the “kicking down doors” detail. I just got a pedicure.

Sunset Boulevard

Gloria Swanson at her most glorious, William Holden near his peak, even the chauffeur was old Hollywood royalty.

Thank you

Yeah, another disadvantage of the Friday, pre-4th of July news dump is that all the good comics are on vacation.

Stephen Colbert — out [Colbert Report & Daily Show don’t run on Fridays, but Colbert announced Thursday he’s out for next week]
Jon Stewart – I’m assuming out, since they seem to co-ordinate vacations
SNL – repeats
Conan – re-runs, even this early in the season

Any reports on David Letterman?

Also, both Keith & Rachel were out last week.

TBogg, the Sunset Blvd. references are priceless. Thank you.

Next, could you work with some material from All About Eve? [My favorite move.]

I’m sure Rachel will return with brilliant guns blazing and a surprise guest or two. But really, if Tina isn’t somewhere totally incommunicado and could see her way clear to seizing this singular moment, she would lay down a bit as classic and immortal as “Who’s on first?” The gold in all her award statues would immediately turn to platinum. Wouldn’t be surprised if Sara Benincasa delivers something wonderful herself pretty soon, but Fey’s would be special.

I am pretty sure you have outdone yourself.

Yes. Yes, you have.

What a perfect analogy. The only sticking point is that Norma Desmond had some actual accomplishments to her credit.

The folks over at Redstate are real mad. They’re up in arms about poor Sarah being “gang-raped”. Goodness gracious, I had no inkling the poor thing endured repeated multiple sexual assaults. No wonder her speech was incoherent and she can no longer complete her term as Governor.

Not only was she metaphorically gang-raped, she then had to pay for the metaphorical rape kits at the hospital. TRAGIC.

Bravo!

Yes, but we should have a zinger of a TV Monday!

The great GOP-er paradox. The Frenchified, arugula eating and limp wristed leftists, weak from a diet of soy milk and granola are also an all powerful army that will rise up and use their mighty strength in their jackbooted takeover of the nation.

Idiots don’t need logic.

”in the event that the governor is unable to perform her duties, her place will be taken by the runner-up.” so alaska will be governed by carrie pre-jean?

there is no truth to the rumor that palin resigned because she heard there would be no swinsuit competition in the presidential debates.

Though Todd Palin told Fox News he built his Lake Lucille home with the help of a few “buddies,” according to Barrett’s report, public records revealed that SBS supplied the materials for the house.

Here’s the inimitable Kenny Rogers with
You Picked a Fine Time To Leave Me Lucille:

Bravo… that was brilliant.
