The Horse's Asses of the Apocalypse

So What's the Difference Between Right Wing Loonies and Mainstream Republicans?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Welcome to the fringe Senator Charles Grassley, who now agrees with Sarah Palin as to the existence of, or the intent of President Obama to create, Death Panels.

Sarah Palin has neither shame nor sense nor honor nor even a modicum of common decency. We know this. At least on the left we know this. When she lies, it's all in a day's work. It's expected. A surprise would be her telling the truth, but I doubt she's known any form of that for... who knows. To be charitable: She's crazy as a shithouse rat.

Tell us Mr Grassley, ranking refuckyoucan member of the Senate Finance committee, member of the so-called Gang of Six, working toward a "bi-partisam compromise" on health care "reform," What the fuck is your excuse for your lunatic statements? ???

Every pundit on MSNBC has talked about it this evening, so the good folks at Crooks and Liars will surely post a You Tube clip.

The Siren Song of White Trash

Sooo.... I was listening to Ron Reagan here on AM1090, and someone compared Sarah Palin to his dad.

Ooops. Ron no likey.

So I AM embarrassed by the fact that I voted for RR twice, but on an empirical level I have to agree with Ron that the two are nothing alike. Besides the rack, gender, m_lfishness ( No.... I wouldn't like to)... Intellectually there is no comparison. Yeah, Reagan had that "folksy" persona that the refucks have tried to make their brand, and butchered it in the process, but I don't remember Reagan ever showing pride in his ignorance. But I digress....

One point Ron made while objecting to the caller was that his dad wrote his own speeches, and expressed some serious doubt in Palin's ability to do so. I listened to that and thought, "Whoa! You just insulted the fuck out of every speechwriter past, present and future. Who the fuck would ever admit to writing that unintelligible mish-mash of gibberish and buffooonery?" That shit made her answers to Katie Couric look like they belong in "Great Moments of Genius."

BTW... Hannity owes me dinner. Yes I tuned in to his show the other night. He still lives in his own little country: Hannity's America." It sure ain't mine. I was amazed as he sat there looking so.... dumbfounded I suppose as he defended Palin. He actually tried to say she made sense. On the other hand he couldn't say how. Then he went after Obama, real surprise there, trying to say there was no difference between Palin's quitting and Obama's run for president. (of course there was no mention of McCain's run) And then he went on to wonder why no one critized Jante Napolitano or Kathleen Sabelius, or Tammy Duckworth or... who quit to take OTHER JOBS. Serving the country.

Clearly "Hannity's America" is a figment of someone's imagination. Just as Palin's notion of her being a fighter and a champion and a leader and... anything but a quitter and a fraud. What the hell are the 70% of refuckyoucans who say they would vote for her for president thinking? ??? What's Hannity thinking when he puts on his most sincere expresson and says that he would feel more confident with Palin sitting across from Putin than Obama? ???

Mind boggling, all. And her point guard analogy? Passing the ball?

Because you can't make the outside shot? Because you can't drive for the lay up? Because if you draw the foul, you can't make the free throws?

Winners want the ball. End of story.

Palin and the Issue of Class

Another installment of "Issues I wish would just go away:" Sarah Palin. Keith O and Rachel have been working the latest Palin show of idiocy interview... there's dumb and there's dumber, but then there's "too stupid to live."

She still can't give a coherent answer to the question of what she reads to stay informed. Lots of tap dancing and fancy pageant walking but little substance. She kinda sorta hints that she might maybe read USA Today and/or The NY Times. Daily? On Sundays? Once while you were stuck in an airport with nothing else to do?

Goddammit people you should know she HAS to read to stay informed so she can fuck up stay informed and run the state. Everyone KNOWS that those two papers are THE authorities on all things Alaskan. NOT the Anchorage Daily News, the Fairbanks Daily Miner, the Juneau Empire (does Annabelle Lund still contribute to that teeny wittle wag?). How about the Palmer News or the Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman? And no I did not ever read those last two; I used the google.

Who says this woman isn't qualified to be President? Like Bush she lies well by volume. She just can't tell a well constructed lie.

But its all a media plot; they're biased against her dontcha know? Look at Caroline Kennedy. They treating her with kid gloves? That sort of shit definitely shows a class difference. She would have a point. If Kennedy were making the total fool of herself as Palin did/does. Just her use of the "mental comma" "ya know," is not enough to paint her stupid. It just doesn't compare to the totally put-on and pre-meditated use of "You betcha" with a wink. (as a shout out to Canadia, their "eh" is one of the handiest fucking utterances since... well... "fuck," eh? Do I hear an Amen? Firestarter?) I don't see a master plot to hide the undeniable fact that Caroline would not even be considered were it not for her last name. Gee... Hmmm... Sarah Kennedy...? Sarah Bush...?

As she explains, if she had been picked by the other side, everyone would have loved her. I. Don't. Fucking. Think. So.

Not even if you looked like this:





















And showed how you distanced yourself from all things "Bush."

I can feel sorry for stupid women; some can't help it; although I'd never date one. But I HATE bimbos. Plastic... Phony...

A Question on Context

"Taken out of context," seems to be the one-size-fits-all defense for very politician who gets nailed on what they say. I'm not going to say that it's never a legitimate defense, but sometimes it just doesn't seem to fit no matter how much K-Y or how big a shoe horn you use. Maybe that's just me.... just an illusion.

Governor Nailin Palin, I realize a lot of people are pissed at you for all kinds of reasons, some real and some bullshit. Some made all the more bullshit, because they're put out there by the very dumbasses who pushed you on to the stage in the first place. I know there's a theory out there that it's the Mitt Romney backers trying to pre-emptively destroy your 2012 campaign.

(Courtney Hazlett needs to empty the walnuts out of her cheek or whatever she has in there. Did no one pick out a good side as opposed to a bad side before putting her on the teevee? Is she a John McCain love child?)

Some things just bug me so much I can't keep them to myself.

So... Ms Sarah... in just what context is Africa a country, and in just what context is Africa a continent? ??? Inquiring minds want to know.

(my apologies for no video; maybe I'll get one tonight)

McCain and his First Choice

Sen Surrrrge, the Naughty American

At about the 30 second mark McCooch takes a noticeable gulp.

Johnny, Johnny Johhhhhnnnnnyyyyy



"Glad to have you on board as running mate, babe."



"Ohh Senator. You ARE glad aren't you?"

Oh shit w/UPDATE

Find out if Sarah Palin would bang you at LiquidGeneration.com!

Save me Gramma Nancy... save meTina!

h/t to the Firestarter.

And in the Double Oh Shit department, Ms Slaughterhouse Spice is set to issue her very first solo speech on foreign policy. Now don't get your hopes up for her to talk about how she sees Russia from her ice-fishing hole or out of the half moon on her outhouse, and therefore is a foreign policy expert.** No. Expect to see the well rehearsed pageant walking Palin all chock full of neo-con talking points and Obama slams. Although I do wonder if we'll hear about God's plans for what to do with our nukes and who to bomb/threaten next. Opps.... sorry for the redundancies.

I wish I could live-blog it. Life's not fair; boo hoo.

**Even though we KNOW that all that OBVIOUSLY makes her an eggspurt on furriners n such, even more so than her NY floor show a ways back. I mean fuckin' a, you think you can learn anything sitting on foreign affairs/relations committees in congress?



UPDATE: Somehow I misunderstood. It's about her policies on Special Needs Kids. Basically talking points and Obama slams of a different flavor: School choice; vouchers for a price tag with nothing to do with the actual cost of educating kids or How I plan to counter act my line item vetos in Alaska's state budget, while cutting taxes like we've done under Reagan and Bush since experience tells us how fucking well it works. Mavericky shit. oh...

And did you know Barack Obama's a terror loving Muslim who wants to raise taxes?

Defending the Indefensible

McBlame seems to think... No he says it outright, that those/we who criticize Sarah Palin aren't paying attention to her record.

WRONG !!!

We ARE paying attention. Not just to her lack of experience, but her stupidity and ignorance. We're paying attention to yours too. Being a prisoner doesn't make you a leader. Choosing a self-professed hockey mom as a running mate makes you stupid, not a maverick.

Oh, and this she's a tax cutter bull shit...? There are no fucking state income or sales taxes in Alaska to cut, so can it you dumb ass.

Nobody Likes Mika

Today? Every day? Not sure I get the significance of all this, but it's her whine today. has something to do with Sarah Palin's clothing budget. Or the RNC's clothing budget for her. I didn't hear what she said, but she's made the point that double the usual emails are coming in this morning. Look to her to repeat some form of her performance; attention whore.

This is all a red herring. Sarah Palin is an idiot, a dangerous one. Whether you dress her as a hockey mom, or a prime time teevee star, not counting "Survivor," she's an idiot and note worth your vote. Not enough to change your mind about voting McCrazed either. He's crazy enough to avoid all on his own. Choosing Palin was just proof of said craziness.

This is not worth raising my middle finger over.

But in something worth my attention....

David Horsey, once again, has a brilliant cartoon in today's P-I.

Ignorance is NOT Bliss

One of the things that pisses me off is when people defend their right to be ignorant.

There are stupid people; I accept that fact. I don't hate them, and I try to help them when I have the chance. Do people have a "right" to be stupid? That like asking if there's a rink for football. There are also ignorant people; I accept that fact as well, but not in the same way.

Stupid people, I believe, are born that way. It's not a choice; it's not a temporary condition; it's a characteristic, a trait. No matter how hard I might have worked, there was no chance I would have ever become a world class sprinter. Stupid people will always be stupid, no matter how hard they work to become smart.

Ignorant people are born that way as well, but ignorance IS a temporary condition. At school age, ignorance becomes a choice. It CAN be corrected through effort. To an untrained eye, they both look the same. Ignorance is merely a lack of knowledge, and is correctable by obtaining knowledge. Stupidity is the lack of the ability to obtain knowledge.

Is there a "right" to be ignorant? Yes, or at least I believe so, but why would one want to exercise that right? Or defend it? "I don't know shit from Shinola and by gum that's how I'm agonna stay, and there ain't one durn thang you can do about it."

OhhhhhKay. It is in that light that I believe it is far worse to be ignorant than stupid. Stupidity I can forgive; ignorance I cannot.

My point?

Sarah Palin...

Why does she still insist, contrary to what she could read in any 8th grade civics book, orrrrr...
learn if she only listened in to the answer to her second grade child's question, insist that as Vice President she can choose to get involved with the Senate in formulating policy? She bangs the gavel and votes to break ties, and that's ALL she does. Contrary to what Ms Dana, the Lying Sack of Cute, as Stephanie Miller calls her, says and what Mr Dick believes, there are NO Legislative duties, responsibilities or opportunities for the Vice President under the Constitution.

In refusing to learn this, Palin defends her right to be ignorant, in an attempt to hide her despotic desires in plain sight.

Did Palin Win? >>>Updated<<<

I would say, no. At best she slowed the massive hemorrhaging, but unless she never does an interview with anyone not with Faux, I don't think she's stopped it. She was well prepared. She did her memorization. If you look at the times and ways she avoided questions and consider that a skill, rather than an act of fraud, well... I don't have a cure for you, sorry.

She was a pageant contestant and a news caster, and those were the skills she showed more than any others. She may have gotten off script when she began talking about more power for the vice president; she started stumbling (with her speech) and fell completely off the wagon in terms of 8th grade civics. Biden, as did Obama, failed to capitalize to the full extent on that one. He also failed, as did Obama, to nail McShame's horrendous voting record on military and veterans. That one reeeeeally bugs me. It's as if there's a truce or treaty of some kind declaring the fraud that is McCain as hero, off limits. I don't get it.

Like many years no horse wins the Triple Crown, no tennis player or golfer wins their respective Grand Slam, for this debate -- and I use that term loosely -- there was no winner.

\/\/Update\/\/

I got it this morning. I was trying to think of what/who I was watching in/through Palin last night. The whole thing of being well rehearsed. Spokes model is a term that gets floated around quite a bit, and I know there are a lot out there who want to see the home made porn tapes, or "Sarah Does Nannook" ... I'll pass; she doesn't do it for me; not even in a lezbo threesome with Rachel Maddow and Stephanie Miller. NO, I know where she belongs:

She's a Faux News Bimbo with Bottle Brown hair.

And I loved Pat Buchanon's take: Biden was boring. He was all facts and figures and statistics... Palin was new and fresh and... don't remind me of "less than fresh" Pat. Please.

Why is it that Conservatives hate facts? DUH... facts have a definite liberal bias, and since Palin OBviously can't dazzle with brilliance, she must baffle with bull shit and be much less boring, I suppose. Look...

I don't want a President that entertains me; I want a President who knows shit. I don't want a President that'd make a good drinking buddy; I want a President who works. Joe Sixpack in the White House? Fuck me with a taser, please. I WANT an educated, knowledgeable, well-spoken, well-read...elitist if you will... sitting in that chair, standing on that wall. Palin can take her "Folksy" bullshit out to the back forty and put it out of its misery. Oh...

And I really really reeeeeallyyyyy don't want, what my President might look like naked to be an issue.

And speaking of drinks and drunks, I wonder what dry-drunk George's past sponsors might have to say about these past 8 years.

Who Wants to be a VPILF?

I think the 3Mers (Morons for McCain and the Milf) wish people would take her seriously, as in that she can actually do something... you know... good for the country. But then along comes a satirist, who happens to be smarter and hotter than the "real" thing... when she's SATIRIZING... Oh fuck, just watch. (Sorry about the add, but it was the first I could find)



OH SHIT... which answer is real? ?????



I meant to put this one there...



...or did I?

Now try to tell me, with a straight face, that we will not be truly and totally fucked with that crazy assed broad in DC. Palin I mean; not Tina Fey (or Miss Teen SC).

And while we're on the topic of bailing out banks: How is it that buying bad mortgages... I mean they're bad, right? So... they'll get better once they're sold? To us? Taxpayers? Like sending them to bed with a hot water bottle after some home made chicken soup from Gramma..? Like cutting taxes to decrease the deficit; OK. Now I... ... I... Must be stupid. I still don't get it.

Oddly, ironically, crazily enough, it seems the Refuckyoucans are the ones holding things up on this and it may actually be that for the first time since Reagan that they're doing something good for the country in the process. I know. I have a hard time believing that myself. If I wrote for SNL...

I just may have to do the unthinkable and go visit a Refuckyoucan congressional website like John Boner's or Lav Man Larry's or Diaper Dave's. Where else can you go to get the straight story.

Crazy is as

Crazy says.



Still not convinced?


Watch CBS Videos Online

Give me some sanity, Please.



Thing is, there's so many fucking idiots out there that if these two got switched, the damn poll numbers wouldn't change.



Beam me up, Scotty. And be quick about it.

While I was taking a dump today...

I happened to think of the refuckyoucans. Does that happen to you too? So specifically, I was thinking of Palin... and her "Bridge to Nowhere" claims... How she says she said, "Thanks, but No thanks."

You know, in a twisted refuckyoucan way -- is there any other way for them? -- she may not be lying. I mean we KNOW that the bridge didn't get built. Because we KNOW that Alaska didn't get all the money. We also know that the road to where the bridge to nowhere was supposed to begin WAS built. So....

The feds offer money to Alaska. check

Alaska/Palin says, "Thanks." check

She counts the money -- a plus...she can count -- and realizes it won't build the bridge. check

The feds tell her -- we presume -- that she can have the bridge by paying for it with Alaskan money. check

She says, "No thanks." check?

They have no bridge... the road dead-ends...

Turn your mind inside out and tie it in some knots, and she's telling the truth.

Just like Clinton didn't have (fucking) sexual relations with that woman... right?

Those two refucks get elected you KNOW that bridge is getting built, right?

Am I missing an opportunity here?

Maybe I should get in line for a McStain Cabinet position, say Secretary of State.

I wasn't a POW, so I can't be Cummander Codpiece in Chief.

I wasn't Mayor of a town of 8000, or PTA President, so I can't be VP much less VPilf.

But I did live in Alaska, so I must have an understanding of foreign policy, since it's so close to Russia and all, right? or

Since I work blue collar, I could be Secretary of Labor. Nope; I'm a union member. well

I've held teaching certs, so I could be Secretary of Education. I actually student taught. here's one:

I've lived with electric heat, oil heat, gas heat... and sometimes those were in the form of forced air, or hot water base board... Oh fuck... they get oil in Alaska, and I was born and raised in Pennsylvania where they get a lot of coal... Yup. Secretary of Energy. That's me.

It's those "Earth is round" and older that 7000 years notions that I can't let go of that fuck me, right?

3M re-named once more

Move over Moronic Maniac for McCain.

Make room for:

Morons for McCain and the MILF

If you needed more proof, here it is: McCain and the Refuckyoucans (I swear I knew nothing about Palin when I coined the term) care NOTHING... not one Iota, jot nor tittle for how the country is run. They care about ideological purity and winning at all costs. Palin is:

Pro ANWR drilling
Pro life Anti abortion
Anti environment
Anti conservation
Anti gay

The woman is not only in favor of slaughtering wolves from aircraft... Got that? She wants the same treatment for bears. Maybe that's her way of preventing them from the suffering of drowning while she helps industry cronies pump out more green house gasses to free up that frozen water blocking the Northwest Passage.

Guns, Gays and God. The Dobsons of the world must be creamin' their jeans.

She's under investigation over her possible involvement in avenging her sister by having her brother-in-law fired from the state troopers (as well as a few people who refused to fire him).

Just like Cheney was Dubya's life insurance, Palin is McStain's. Yeah right, put the mayor of Wassilla in charge of the button. On the other hand:

How else to better prove the conservative point that the federal government can do nothing but cause problems than by putting someone in charge of it who has no clue how to run it?
