Splitter!

With her modeling skilz, make it the Cosmo Commonsense Conservative Party — Her neighbors have tons of remaindered clothes with the logo.

Also. Carpenters!!!1!! Hug for TBogg, in a non-Republican, Mrs. TBogg-approvable kind of way…

As for Lindsey, individually, I really like him

As opposed to what? Liking him collectively?

My aching ass, Sarah. We all know it would be the “C’mon, sense! Conservative Party.”

Oh my.

“It wouldn’t be a Palin interview without asking about “death panels.” How did she come up with the phrase? “To me, while reading that section of the bill, it became so evident that there would be a panel of bureaucrats who would decide on levels of health care, decide on those who are worthy or not worthy of receiving some government-controlled coverage,” she explains. “Since health care would have to be rationed if it were promised to everyone, it would therefore lead to harm for many individuals not able to receive the government care. That leads, of course, to death.”

Sarah has a very shallow relationship with honesty. She actually read the bill? Uh, yeah. And my wife is Morgan Fairchild.

Commonsense does tell us, however, that she’s right about one thing: “[Eventually, everything] leads, of course, to death.” Also taxes.

Shorter Lowry interview:

Richie: How bad does everyone suck, cept u?

Richie: fap, fap, fap

There’s only one explanation: it’s actually Tina Fey giving these interviews. How can they not be parody?

I think her brain is so small she can only hold onto one or two catchphrases a week. This week “commonsense,conservative,” which of course is an oxymoran.

Somehow, she’ll need to include a gratuitous mention of the military as well as her religious inclinations in her Party name. Perhaps “Commonsense Conservative Crusader Party” would cover all her bases. Also.

Palin would NEVER form her own party. No money in third parties. And don’t even talk about getting a per diem.

Thanks, my 2nd laugh of the day (following “not exactly seeing birds suddenly appear every time she is near”).

Palin’s real draw is that she’s validating all of the ignorant, bigoted, losers who want to blame anyone but themselves for their situation in life. She’s convincing them that they’re the true repository of wisdom and that the reason their lives are shit is because the nasty liberals are forever undermining them and mocking them. Palin has convinced substantial numbers of people that the short bus of American politics is actually a Cadillac – just as they always thought it was.

While “Commonsense Conservatism” may be an oxymoron to anyone outside of the Palosphere, it’s like milk and honey to the fundies, theocrats, bigots, xenophobes, gun huggers, conspiracy theorists, and paranoid schizophrenics who comprise the right wing.

she’ll need to include a gratuitous mention of the military as well as her religious inclination

Common Sense for Our Troops and Conservative God and Trig for Real Americans Party. Also.

Actually I plagiarized. That’s the entire fourth chapter of the book she “wrote”.

Maybe “Kommonsense Kickass Konservatives” would work better. That way a lot of her followers could recycle their old gear.

“Her” next “book”….

I (quit), Robot.

Wind her up and watch her go!

I just had a thought, one that fits perfectly with everything we know about Palin: not only will she run in the ’12 primary for whatever goodies and perks she can get, she will not officially quit until the real front-runner pays her to go away. You know that’s just what she’d do.

“…it would therefore lead to harm for many individuals not able to receive the government health care. That leads, of course, to death.”

Oh, and she’s so close!

That’s the thing, though – why can’t they see that they cannot win. Hell, back when the GOP had all three branches of government and most state legislatures it was the college professors and librarians keepin’ them down. Our awesome liberal superpowers are the excuse they use never fail to defeat them

I’m very surprised T-Bogg has not put together the fact that Michelle Malkin is probably being heavily sedated since this was HER destiny being played out by Palin.

She would be the female with big ideas who would save the party!

Until this white bitch came along and ruined my life! “Jesse, where the fuck is my Valium?”

Sarah has a very shallow relationship with honesty. She actually read the bill?

“Read” in the same way my son used to read Green Eggs and Ham when younger–drooling, and holding the book upside down.

In Sarah Starburst’s case, divvying up intellectual dishonesty, poor reading comprehension and poor capacity for logical thought is one of those angels-on-the-head-of-a-pin exercises.

Boosh Bizarro World lives on……………….

Heard on the radio that Sarah is going to do an hour interview (luuuv fest) with the noted conservative intellectual Sean Hannity this evening.

You could be commode-huggin’ drunk by the end of the hour if you chugged your beverage every time one of those asshats sez “commonsense conservative whatever”, “core conservative values” or some variation thereof.

I think I’ll skip it. It’s a school night.

TBogg, are those Basset Boys of yours big “territorial markers,” and is that where you’re getting this: wanting to lay down your “mark” that this is what Bible Spice’s new party will be called?

Duly noted. We will remember, and bow deeply, when it happens.

Having Sarah Palin describe a Common Sense Conservative is a bit like having a blind man describe what the color orange looks like. She wouldn’t recognize Common Sense if it bit her in the ass.

Sarah must get a kibble every time she uses the phrase that pays

Cry “Havoc!” and let slip the cockapoos of war.

Oooh, yeah! She should totally call it the Commonsense Conservative Crusaders Party! There is so much merchandise already available!

Love the John Prine title nod. Thanks.

What you Sarah-haters fail to acknowledge is that Sarah plans to use uncommonly Commonsense Conservatism very liberally! And it scares you, two! Also!

Common sense? You keep using these words. I do not think these words mean what you think they mean…it’s so scary that this woman is getting any mileage at all out of the nightmare thought that she might become POTUS. Mencken was right…no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.

late to conversation,,,,,, but listen to prine’s album,,,,common sense…..
couse he also sang about being happy like two sardines in a can so go figure…
also, sam stone….

Stop laughing like you know something, my friend. You are off snark by a light year.

That “Commonsense” part of a Commonsense Conservative party is going to be anticedent to and subsequently equivalent to the use of “populist” in continuing Rightwing-speak.

A rallying call that blurs Palin’s “commonsense” with a Ron Paul or some sort of crazy Grange-like economic populism could swell the numbers of those who think that simply mindedness is common sense to a critical mass of anti-incumbancy advocates sufficient to put a hurting on a Democratic Congress.

My fear is that a connection with good old “common sense” to the simple mindeness of many Republicans plays right into the vein of the cultural wisdom (meaning myth), that it is the peculiar feature of a democracy that the “people” are always correct. Whether those “people” are informed or have their mind filled with bullshit is of no consequence to the value of the mythology of democracy, of the people, by the people and for the people; our secular religion is the worship of democracy and only heretics claim its lack of franchisment with current reality.

Even today we have seen the likes of a progressive Democrat Pat Fazio, who clearly has his ear to the ground, critize Obama’s lead man on the economy Sec. Teasury Tim Geithner for favoring Wall Street over Main Street in ecomomic policy. So there is damned good wiff of populism blowing in the air and you can bet that Republicans are going to do everything within their power to harness that power in 2010 and 2012.

My point is that it is dangerous to deride even how these fucking, culturally, and factually challenged idiots use language because even idiots can know things you and I don’t…. don’t get over-confident just because you see your opponent doing something stupid. The joke could be on you.

Easy, big fella. Or ma’am. Everything you say is true or could be true. But the appropriate first response to Palin’s sort of mendacity, demagoguery, and the stupidity it fosters, is to say, This is deserves mockery.

After that you can say, Okay, now: what are its consequences and how should they be dealt with?

It’s not dangerous to deride these idiots. It’s dangerous to ONLY deride them and to think that derision is enough to neutralize them. Of course it isn’t enough. It’s just the entertaining first response. Other responses follow.

I lived through the elections of Ronald Reagan in 1980 (and George W. Bush in 2000) where it was “conventional wisdom” that Americans knew better than to elect a California (or Texas) Cowboy (both faux, nevertheless) who were considered mentally challenged dummies.

We know where that got us.

Never, ever should so-called smart people “misunderestimate”
the democratic power of stupid people. The latter use the ballot box as a grudge match weapon against those whom they consider their “betters,” viz., smarter or better informed.

The danger is not in deriding their stupidity but by falling into the intellectually lazy position of considering it their default mode regardless of the circumstance.
