TEA-DRINKING BRITISH ELITIST!! I bet you've never even shot a moose, have you? Nor seen Russia from your house?

Palin really turned the tables on that voter! She thought she had Palin stumped, but then Palin was all like "I bet you can't even think of a specific foreign policy question, you moron!" And then secret service knocked the questioner out with the butt-end of the microphone before she could come up with a specific question. McCain/Palin 1, Voters 0.

"Well, I think because I am a Washington outsider that opponents are going to be looking for a whole lot of things that they can criticize and they can kind of beat the candidate here who chose me as his partner to kinda tear down the ticket"

True. So true. The candidate here who chose her as his partner (ol' whathisname) really is facing pressure from opponents who are tying to kinda tear down the ticket, because they do just keep looking for a whole lot of things they criticize.

If she had only had a bit more time, I think she could have kinda chatted 'bout that foreign policy stuff, like such as South Africa, and uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and how we should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., should help South Africa, it should help the Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future, for us.

Did you hear the one about oil exports?

"Of course, it's a fungible commodity and they don't flag, you know, the molecules, where it's going and where it's not. But in the sense of the Congress today, they know that there are very, very hungry domestic markets that need that oil first. So, I believe that what Congress is going to do, also, is not to allow the export bans to such a degree that it's Americans who get stuck holding the bag without the energy source that is produced here, pumped here. It's got to flow into our domestic markets first."

Miss Teen USA might be more qualified on foreign policy issues.

I bet you've never even shot a moose, have you? Nor seen Russia from your house?

NO, GODDAMMIT, I HAVEN'T! MOOSE (MOOSES? MEESE?) ARE MY FRIENDS!!

I did see Russia from, um, Russia once. But I couldn't see Alaska from there, I must have been looking in the wrong direction.

McCain/Palin: Flagging your molecules so the turrurrists don't win.

The latest thing she's done to infuriate me is to appropriate the Rosie the Riveter image for herself....when one of the ways women WERE able to do it in the US was through subsidized child care. I doubt that this twisted bitch has ever set foot in a feminist bookstore.

I would die a happy woman if someone asked Dubya a question which contained the word 'fungible', to see if he knows as much about the meaning of the word as he knows about the meaning of the word 'sovereignty'.

Whoaha, Brujita - she did that? I saw a Rosie the riveter image being used on a cleaning business-van the other day and nearly egged that van it ticked me off so much. For two reasons, not using a real designer to decorate their van and then having no historical clue when it comes to that image. We are in SWEDEN for gods sake we weren't even in the war! Much...

it's good to be pissed off at advertising. it's not so good to pretend to yourself that it's because it offends some 60 year old political sensitivity.

This is what I saw in the NY Times the other day. HOW DARE SHE!!!!!

Wow. America needs a Rick Mercer or Mary Walsh to really pop some egos.
(Notes: Mary is playing her character Marg Delahunte, and is razzing Jean Chretien, the then-Prime Minister of Canada. And making him run away from said razzing. In front of the whole country.
Rick is having a sleepover at the Prime Minister's official residence. Basically the equivalent of having Jon Stewart stay over at the White House with the President, without the spin people to keep an eye on things. Here's a not-so-friendly rant on (the current) Prime Minister Steven Harper's threats to screw over Newfoundland for oil that can be found there.)

If any one of these colossal idiots were to say, "I don't have an answer for you on that right now, but give me a small amount of time and I'll get back to you on that." and then actually do it, I'm sure they'd get a lot more respect. And by a lot more, I mean "a little bit more than zero."

For the hell of it, here's Rick's interview with Dr. David Suzuki about climate change and saving the environment by jumping in a frozen lake. Only in Canada. Apparently there was "shrinkage."

I actually talked to someone last night who was all "I like her, she's so different, she's really not a normal republican."

So I went through the book banning, making victims pay for rape kits, hunting from airplanes, and abortion illegal even for rape and incest tally.

I got a thank you shot of black haus because "christ, she's fucking batshit insane! I have to tell my mom tomorrow!"
So thank you sarah palin, you raging psycho. You got a cute boy to buy me a drink in a den of sin.

You know, I really, really, really, really hope that she doesn't win. (And I use that pronoun intentionally, because at this point, I think that side of the ticket is about her, not the headliner.) Really, I don't. She scares the everloving shit out of me.

But let's be honest here. I kind of want her to stick around for a while, because it's So Much Fun to trash her, and to pick apart every little thing she says, and to make fun of that accent that totally sounds like a caricature of itself. And I know that the entire Daily Show/Colbert/Olbermann audience feels the same way, if secretly and shamefully, and so do the rest of you!

There are plenty of other people I can trash and pick apart. I'd rather McCain had picked somebody more a)moderate and b)competent.

The latest thing she's done to infuriate me is to appropriate the Rosie the Riveter image for herself.... I doubt that this twisted bitch has ever set foot in a feminist bookstore.

Well, um, er, Rosie the Riveter started out as propaganda (assembled from disparate influences under the auspices of the USG). She was only appropriated later by feminists -- really, not even until the 1980s or so.

It's annoying, but it isn't any more objectionable than right-wingers wrapping themselves in the flag (that belongs to everyone) or (ab)using other national icons such as the Statue of Liberty.

I did see Russia from, um, Russia once.

Pfft. Amateur.

the entire Daily Show/Colbert/Olbermann audience feels the same way

... cuz they know that once Obama wins, Stewart and Colbert will have no choice but to focus their jabs back onto the presidency. If McCain loses and they don't make any congressional gains, the Republicans' news profile falls to just about zilch, as does their humor value.

"You came out to California, put on your pants, and took your lunch pail to a man's job. This was the beginning of women's feeling that they could do something more." Sybil Lewis, Lockheed riveter."

Quoted from your link by a real-life Rosie, stilicho. The message that this image gave was not only of helping to win the war, but about women being able to take care of themselves. I don't doubt for one minute that Sarah Palin's church hues to the "women should graciously submit" line.

Oh, brujita, don't stoop to that, she's a frickin' governor. With a house-husband.

We don't know how much influence he has.

George Wallace's wife was elected governor of Alabama, but it's my understanding after watching this documentary that he was still the one running things at the time. Paging BitterOldPunk....

Oh, brujita, don't stoop to that, she's a frickin' governor. With a house-husband.

Who has been called the "shadow governor" and is cc'd on almost all her emails.
I really think he's a lot more involved than it seems on the surface.
