They Don’t Get It

As Carol noted this morning, Sarah Palin pardoned a turkey while other turkeys were being killed right behind her. The irony should be obvious to any thinking person.
The incident doesn’t make Palin a bad person (unlike her positions on the issues and certain actions she has taken), but it does portray her as a rather [...]
Palinpalooza Continues!

Thank goodness; I would have been completely lost without more Palin news. Remember that time when she couldn’t name the countries in the North American Free Trade Agreement? What about when she thought “Africa” referred to a single country?
If Palin doesn’t run in 2012, I might cry.

Sarah Palin is just like us. Why, I spend $50,000 at Saks Fifth Avenue almost every week! Who doesn’t?!?
The Republican National Committee has spent more than $150,000 to clothe and accessorize vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and her family since her surprise pick by John McCain in late August.
According to financial disclosure records, the accessorizing [...]
Sarah Palin Is Her Own Woman, You Betcha

She sure does disagree with John McCain quite a bit (remember her forceful and susprisingly public opposition to the campaign’s withdrawal from Michigan a few weeks ago?). Does anyone else think she sees the writing on the wall and is positioning herself for 2012?

Sarah Palin Bravely Talks To The Evil Press For Eight Exhaustin’ Minutes

Transcript.
Do Alaskans speak a version of English that uses completely different syntactical and grammatical rules from standard American English? Here’s Palin on voter fraud:
There are safeguards already that are in place but evidently they’re not being adhered to or implemented certainly in Ohio if the secretary there not seeming to desire to reassure voters that [...]

The teenager who got the vice presidential nominee’s daughter pregnant can be trusted to speak to the press, but the vice presidential nominee herself can not. Heckuva job, Republican Party.

Was Sarah Palin Really A Union Member?
Posted on October 7, 2008 by andrew- Filed Under 2008 presidential election, John McCain, Labor, Sarah Palin | Leave a Comment
The answer appears to be, “Kinda.” (Via)
The Las Vegas Sun appears to have spent some serious time and effort trying to find the facts of Palin’s union membership. The McCain campaign’s regional office wouldn’t respond to the paper’s inquiries. The national headquarters directed reporters back to the regional office. A spokesperson in the governor’s office [...]
All Apologies

I’m sorry, Governor Palin. I was being unfair when I called you “George Bush, only this time without daddy’s friends to provide at least an illusion of competence.”
Unlike George W. Bush, you have at least proven to the American people that you are not illiterate.

This Train Wreck Didn’t Feature Enough Explosions

Quick (very quick) debate thoughts:
1) Did she really use Holocaust language to discuss the subprime mortgage lenders? Multiple times?
2) Doggoneitgollygeewilikers
3) I think the soundbite of the night was Sarah Palin agreeing with Dick Cheney on the Fourth Branch of Government. Any time you say you agree with Dick Cheney, you’re probably having a bad night.

The Debate
Posted on October 2, 2008 by andrew- Filed Under 2008 presidential election, Sarah Palin, presidential debates | Leave a Comment
I don’t think I’ve set myself up for this much potential disappointment since the Star Wars prequels. How could anything Sarah Palin says tonight possibly be as incredible as the things we’ve already heard her say? Logically, I know that she’ll come out of the debate looking much more reasonable and prepared than the Katie [...]
Sarah Palin Doesn’t Know Anything
Posted on October 1, 2008 by andrew- Filed Under 2008 presidential election, Sarah Palin | Leave a Comment
So, yeah, she couldn’t name a single other Supreme Court decision with which she disagreed besides Roe. That doesn’t seem quite so terrible; I was under the impression she couldn’t name any other decisions at all (which may still be the case; it’s just not the question Couric asked). I mean, I would expect someone [...]

Nothing- nothing- could have done more to raise the entertainment value of the 2008 election than John McCain’s choice of Sarah Palin for vice presidential nominee. She has read all of the newspapers and magazines. All of them.

Sarah Palin’s Church And “The Israelites”

Umm, yeah. Watch this.
If you watched the whole thing, you saw that Palin was there. Being blessed by this guy. Who is, aside from the rest of the crazy, worried about the Jews and their money.
But asking Palin about any of this would be totally sexist and disrespectful!

And The Truth Comes Out

Why did John McCain pull this outrageous stunt?
It was all a not-so-subtle ploy to eventually get the VP debate canceled. Alright, “rescheduled” at a time to be determined later, and pushed back to the point where it would eventually be canceled entirely.
These clowns are terrified of allowing the woman they chose to be a heartbeat [...]

I’m not sure why so many people are pretending to be confused by the McCain campaign’s efforts to keep the media from talking to Sarah Palin. It’s all very simple. Women are to be seen and not heard.

John McCain And Sarah Palin Will Be Good For Child Molesters

This isn’t even a half-joke anymore. The McCain/Palin ticket actually has a verifiably pro-rape and pro-molestation record. Here’s the latest from TPMMuckraker:
So Sarah Palin’s latest explanation for why she fired Walt Monegan is that he had gone over her head in seeking federal money for an initiative to combat sexual assault crimes, before she had [...]
What Is John McCain Hiding?

The DNC really should have created a version of this clock for bloggers to embed on their own websites, so that I could show the constantly updating clock. [...]
Was She Even The Real Governor Of Alaska?

In all seriousness, Sarah Palin and John McCain appear incapable of telling the truth. When they told us Palin had an excellent understanding of the nation’s energy situation because Alaska produces about 20% of our domestic energy, I assumed they were somewhat exaggerating Palin’s expertise (especially when McCain said she knew more about energy than [...]
