I’m not going to miss George W. Bush when he’s (finally!) gone, but I will miss Will Ferrell’s brilliant impressions.
Ugh. Every time I post about Sarah Palin, I swear to myself that it’s going to be the last time. She hasn’t been a legitimate potential VP since she had her sit-down with Katie Couric and with so many serious issues demanding our attention, I don’t want to get bogged down in the distraction that she has become. But I think she’s gotten to the point now where she is, really, just a cartoon — no one takes her seriously as a candidate anymore — so I’m going to go ahead and throw stuff up here when she amuses me because, seriously, you just can’t make up anything better than the comedy fodder she’s been churning out lately. And at this point in the campaign, we all really could use a few laughs…
OMG! I’m so not making this up! It’s like we’re in an alternate reality…
That’s right. Is there a state in the Union that’s more socialist than Alaska? I don’t think so. Thanks for playing, Gov!
ps. Nice job with that whole spreading the wealth thing, too, Sarah! You do did a great job at redistribution before you were against it! ;-D
…[I]t’s no wonder that Alaska, despite its oil boom, is still at the top of states subsidized by federal dollars, receiving $1.84 back from Washington for every $1 that Alaskans pay in federal taxes. (California receives 78 cents for every $1.)
Eight and a half weeks (at least!) elapsed between these two clips. You’d think in that time, Palin could have spent a few moments looking up vice-president on the Internet — or maybe she could have glanced at a copy of the freakin’ Constitution! As Chris Matthews said earlier today, the problem is not that she’s talking to a second grader, it’s that she sounds like a second grader (I was worried that maybe Pat Buchanan was going to stroke out at that point — watch it here).
And we thought Quayle was bad then he corrected a poor student’s spelling of “potato.”
Now they’re slashing tires and heckling early voters.
UPDATE: they’re also trashing cars and — I’m not making this up — killing bears!
Hey, John! Still proud? Really!?!?!
Pat Buchanan spent a little time grasping at other straws before finally going there, and feeling how silly they all were, he finally settled on “it must be because he’s black.” Yeah, he actually went there. Sigh.
Someone tell me again how the Republicans are a 21st Century party? That they’re not interested in fostering discord just for the sake of political gains? That McCain/Palin somehow represents something different from the Republican party we’ve been dealing with for the past 8 or 25 years? That these people could possibly bring us a positive change of pace?
Hey, Pat! Do you want something to distract everyone from the totally awesome Powell endorsement? How about questions about McCain’s health on the front page of the The New York Times on Monday?
UPDATE: go here (and then there’s Joe).
This time, John McCain has incited death threats and vandalism:
Death threat, vandalism hit ACORN after McCain comments — WASHINGTON — An ACORN community organizer received a death threat and the liberal activist group’s Boston and Seattle offices were vandalized Thursday, reflecting mounting tensions over its role in registering 1.3 million mostly poor and minority Americans to vote next month.
Once again, John McCain is categorically proud of these people.
