I realize that many progressives don't like Barack Obama, and like to claim he was worse than George Bush or Richard Nixon. Like some progressives in this country like to claim that Justin Trudeau is worse than Stephen Harper. But although he was not perfect, I have always admired the first black President. I believe that despite the foul racist attacks against him, he represented his people with dignity and class. And boy was he funny.
A Congresswoman is shot in the head. A judge, a nine-year-old girl, and four others are killed. Eleven people are wounded some of them critically.The madness.The horror.
Because Giffords is a Democrat, the Republicans are weeping crocodile tears, and claiming a crazy man did it.
But nobody can dodge responsibility for the kind of society America has become. A violent militaristic one, where racism still divides, religious fanaticism inflames the ignorant, and guns are too easy to get.
Where a mentally ill person can get hold of a powerful weapon.
Post a picture on his website.
And nobody hears his cries for help. Or recognizes the danger.
"WOW! I’m glad i didn’t kill myself. I’ll see you on National T.v.! This is foreshadow .... why doesn’t anyone talk to me?.."
"I don’t feel good: I’m ready to kill a police officer! I can say it."
Because it's just too crazy EVERYWHERE.
And the Republicans, and the tea baggers, and the right-wing-radio hosts can't dodge the responsibility for creating an atmosphere of violence.
No matter how it tries, the right cannot divorce itself from the pustulence of its violent rhetoric no matter how many times its practitioners say "not me, not me" after people are murdered for taking these vile imprecations to heart. A few crocodile tears from Glenn Beck won't cut it.
They noted that Jesse Kelly, a tea-party candidate who narrowly lost to Giffords, held a fundraiser at a shooting range in which he invited supporters to "help remove Gabrielle Giffords from office" by shooting an M16 with him. They pointed to an online map, posted by Sarah Palin, in which gun sites marked each congressional Democrat that the former Republican vice-presidential nominee wanted to defeat, along with her frequent use of shooting metaphors.
Oh boy. What's happening in the United States both horrifies and scares me. But I love and admire the many good people in that country. I share their struggle against the hatemongers of the rabid right, and I want to cheer them on to victory.
So this is what I would tell them. Make those Republican teabaggers WEAR this massacre. Use it to attack them harder them ever.
Make Sarah Palin EAT this map. Over and over again.
Tell them they're not patriots they're TERRORISTS.
Tell them if the founding fathers got hold of them, they'd horsewhip them or hang them.
Organize, mobilize, drive those crazies from power.
And above all make it clear to them that they don't speak for America.
Because you need them like you need a hole in the head.
Well I see that Sarah Palin has decided the time has come to cut her ties to John McCain's sinking campaign...and save herself. As the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign enters its final week, reports are bubbling up about internal strife within the Republican ticket that suggest vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is trying to distance herself from the top of the ticket, John McCain.
“She’s lost confidence in most of the people on the plane,” said a senior Republican who speaks to Palin, referring to her campaign jet. He said Palin had begun to “go rogue” in some of her public pronouncements and decisions. Even though poor old Poppy is still trying to defend his choice as a "cold political calculation" to counter those nasty liberal feminists.
Which to me means that McCain is either crazy or senile. Or a nasty old misogynist. Or just a LIAR. And that Sarah Palin obviously feels she has a bright future in the Republican Party. Just like this guy thinks she does.. Palin is clearly OF the conservative base in a real and meaningful way; they view her as their first real spokesperson on the national stage in recent memory -- perhaps since Ronald Reagan. It's hard to imagine those feelings going away because she has not worn well with either moderate and independent minded voters of the conservative media.
Which might seem to be a SCARY thing. I saw a picture of a redneck the other day wearing a t-shirt with this on it: "Nigger, please. It's the White House." And there are millions of them out there. On the other hand it could be the BEST thing that ever happened. Because if Sarah Palin becomes the Evita of the rednecks and the Christianist hordes she will split the Republicans, drive moderates out of the party, and keep them out of power for a GENERATION. She'll be John McCain's little FrankenSarah who not only destroyed his campaign. She ATE the Republican Party. Gobble. Gobble. And to think that I once wondered whether she was the Anti-Christ. Don't you LOVE happy endings? Muahahahaha.... ------------------------------------------------------------ P.S. Unless of course John McCain wins the election. In which case she's fucked. And we're DOOMED...
The way the American election campaign has been going down the toilet, it seems to me somehow fitting that the anti-hero of the moment should be Joe the Plumber. Especially since he isn't even a real plumber. Doesn't make more than $250,000 a year. And hates taxes so much...like John McCain.... he doesn't bother to PAY them. But that's America eh? Always looking for a star. And Fake Joe is a sensation. The networks are camped out outside his home. His neighbours are selling home made t-shirts with his mug on them. And Conservative bloggers are going ape shit. Conservative blogger Fausta Wertz declared, "Joe probably has a great deal more knowledge and experience in real-life business and economics than most pundits ... possibly more than Ben [Bernanke, chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve]." Like the moron monkeys they are.
And of course, on the internet, he is even BIGGER...
You know I think it all makes sense. Now that the kybo is collapsing. The toilet bowl is overflowing. And that loud flushing sound is the American economy going down the drain. Who needs a President eh? When you can have a PLUMBER...
"I don't like the fact that he thinks white people are trash. Because we're NOT!!! " And that Sarah Palin, the Evita of the White Trash, isn't exactly growing into the job?
Now he's the Terrorist Anti-Christ. And some Americans are AFRAID of him.
Once I used to laugh at Sarah Palin and her Christianist demons. Now I'm afraid of what of what real demons she might unleash. I keep having this horrible nightmare. The demons of ignorance, fear, and hate are loose in Amerika. And ANYTHING could happen....
You know when I read that John McCain and Sarah Palin are now so desperate they're crawling around on all fours grunting slurs at Obama. Accusing him of hanging out with terrorists and suggesting that he might be one himself. "We've all heard what he's said. But it's less clear what he's done, or what he will do," McCain told supporters in the battleground state of Pennsylvania.
McCain's remarks about Obama were interrupted with shouts of "socialist," "terrorist" and "liar." And for the second time in three days, a speaker at a Republican rally invoked Obama's middle name, Hussein, in an apparent attempt to feed lingering fears about the Democrat's background. And I see how they are riling up the white trash ......or the drunk rednecks.
I can't help dreaming about that cold day in February when John McCain is standing on a street corner with a tin cup, looking for a lobbyist. Or a new job
And Sarah Palin is back in Alaska, asking Jebesus what went wrong, playing the flute, helping to breast feed her children's many children, being prosecuted for her role in Troopergate. Or just skating around and around a small pond. Like Melanie...
You know considering the state of America. And considering what she's done to demean and degrade the democratic process. Being blamed for the downfall of the Neocon Empire. Just doesn't seem punishment enough....
I must admit I wasn't able to watch much of the Obama-McCain Town Hall tonight. It was just too boring. And too SCARY. Just the thought that little old hobbit hopping around that stage blubbering my friends my friends in that creepy voice ....or grinning maniacally....might be President of the United States gave me the SHIVERS. The horror...the horror...
Scary eh? But never mind the Colonel Kurtz number. I just wish Johnny McCain would stop calling himself moral. Because he isn't.
Forget the nepotism, the lobbyists, and his volcanic temper. At least three of McCain's GOP colleagues have gone on record to say that they consider him temperamentally unsuited to be commander in chief. Smith, the former senator from New Hampshire, has said that McCain's "temper would place this country at risk in international affairs, and the world perhaps in danger. In my mind, it should disqualify him." Sen. Domenici of New Mexico has said he doesn't "want this guy anywhere near a trigger." And Sen. Thad Cochran of Mississippi weighed in that "the thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine. He is erratic. He is hotheaded."
He's not just a dangerous chickenhawk he's a horny HOUND DOG !!
"I enjoyed the off-duty life of a Navy flier more than I enjoyed the actual flying," McCain writes. "I drove a Corvette, dated a lot, spent all my free hours at bars and beach parties." McCain chased a lot of tail. He hit the dog track. Developed a taste for poker and dice. He picked up models when he could, screwed a stripper when he couldn't.
With a close friend at the base, an alcoholic Marine captain, McCain formed the "Key Fess Yacht Club," which quickly became infamous for hosting toga parties in the officers' quarters and bringing bands down from Memphis to attract loose women to the base. Showing his usual knack for promotion, McCain rose from "vice commodore" to "commodore" of the club. Whatever his dreams of getting laid in Rio, he got plenty of ass during his command post in Jacksonville. According to biographer Robert Timberg, McCain seduced his conquests on off-duty cross-country flights — even though adultery is a court-martial offense. He was also rumored to be romantically involved with a number of his subordinates.
You know once I thought he was just senile. But now I'm wondering whether it's SYPHILIS. President Poppy....in a toga. The horror, the horror.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- P.S. The good news? Sarah Palin's new video is now available.
Golly. I just saw Sarah Palin arriving in St Louis for her big debate with Joe Biden, waving her poor little baby like a flag. With her teenage slut Bristol dressed in a special dress that makes her look even MORE pregnant.
So now I'm starting to get worried. Could the redneck from Wasilla snatch victory from the jaws of a dead polar bear?
Because I know she's been practicing REALLY hard. Her Republican operatives have been prepping her up the kazoo at their sinister debate camp.
But what if she asks if her family can join her on stage during the debate...so she can keep an eye on them?
And when they start asking her questions about foreign policy, announces to the whole world that she's happy to invite EVERYONE to Bristol and Levi's shotgun wedding in a foreign country like Hawaii. Where the black Muslim Obama comes from. Now that Levi isn't doing hillbilly heroin anymore...or selling it. And it turns out that Bristol is expecting TWINS!!! Oh Happy Day!!!! Wouldn't that make the American people go AWWWWWWWW? And forget EVERYTHING else. And then there's Sarah's secret weapon. *Shudder*
Her little howitzer.
When Joe asks her a really hard question...like where Europe is. Will she whip it out and BLOW it ?
Like she once did...
And turn Biden into a drunken Irishman dancing an Irish jig? Shouting Begorrah Begorrah...she's a Whorrah She's a Whorrah.
And win her the SYMPATHY vote.
You know in a country like Amerika where madness is now mainstream. Just like in a country like Canada where so many people don't care about OUR debate.
... a lot of people will be flipping back and forth - and some will be ignoring the more sedate Canadian version in favour of the U.S. tussle. And some voters say they'll just tune out completely.
Only 33 per cent will bother watching the English version. And just 11 per cent care enough to view both.
Even though it's arguably the most critical election in Canadian history. I wouldn't be surprised.
When I first saw the video of Sarah Palin talking about Russia and Canada I was shaken to the core. What if she got the two countries mixed up and nuked us by mistake?
Watch CBS Videos Online But then I realized that the Republican operatives have got her so paranoid about what she does know and what she doesn't know, she's lost all her confidence. So now instead of the Attila from Wasilla, she's more like a moose in the headlights.
Or the tennis player who said "I can do that."
But couldn't....
Muahahahaha. Never mind the Anti-Christ. The match is still on. But Sarah Palin is OVER... ----------------------------------------------- h/t Andrew Sullivan
I must say I'm surprised that this little Rocky Horror Mammon Show hasn't made much of an impression on the way the progressive parties are conducting their campaigns.
Because it offers them a unique opportunity to strip Stephen Harper down to his ideological underwear....and hit him where it really hurts.
Let me explain what I mean. Take the tainted meat scandal for example. So far most of the attacks have focused on the Gerry Ritz comments. But that only speaks to the character of the Cons. What you also have to do is look at the real crime, as Scott Tribe points out here. The fact that the RepubliCons would cripple the power of federal inspectors to keep our food safe. But even that isn't enough. If Canadians are going to understand the narrative, in addition to a bad character and a crime you also need a MOTIVE. That's the missing frame in this campaign. And the motive is that Stephen's Harper all consuming ambition is to destroy the power of government: "Whether Canada ends up as one national government or two national governments or several national governments, or some other kind of arrangement is, quite frankly, secondary in my opinion… And whether Canada ends up with one national government or two governments or ten governments, the Canadian people will require less government no matter what the constitutional status or arrangement of any future country may be."
Speech to the Colin Brown Memorial Dinner, National Citizens Coalition, 1994 He wants to de-regulate or privatize EVERYTHING. To kill the government that we depend on in Canada to protect us. Kill the culture that sets us apart from the U.S. And turn our country into a neocon jungle where Big Business and Big Oil frolic...and the rest of us struggle to survive in a country that isn't ours any longer.
That isn't a Canadian view of course. It's an American one. For decades the Republicans have made cutting taxes and shrinking government their Holy Grail. At least until now. Of all the points raised by different analysts about the economy last week, surely the best was Representative Barney Frank’s reminder on “Charlie Rose” that Ronald Reagan’s favorite laugh line was telling audiences that: “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: ‘I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.’ ” Hah, hah, hah.
Are you still laughing? If it weren’t for the government bailing out Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and A.I.G., and rescuing people from Hurricane Ike and pumping tons of liquidity into the banking system, our economy would be a shambles. How would you like to hear the line today: “I’m from the government, and I can’t do a darn thing for you.”
Hah, hah, hah, indeed. Now suddenly after twenty years of calling for de-regulation John McCain is twisting in the wind. And so should Stephen Harper. Because after doing the same thing as McCain all his life, he's now standing there with his ideological underwear down to his ankles. As history runs out on him. If the progressive parties can hang that frame around his neck...persuade Canadians that Stephen Harper would destroy the power of government to protect them at a scary time like this...and is willing to put his failed ideology before our lives. The Monster may yet be exposed for what he is. And the war may yet be won....
At first I was glad to see this poll today. What more can an Anyone But Harper supporter ask for?Progressive parties are gaining ground. The New Democrats and Greens appear to be gaining while Conservative support is slipping in the federal election campaign, a new poll suggests. The Reform RepubliCons are bleeding out of majority territory. And Great Nice Pretty Leader's makeover is RUNNING. Respondents who reported positive impressions of the Tory prime minister were at 47 per cent, down from a peak of 53 per cent in the Sept. 8-11 period.
Negative impressions of Harper climbed to 45 per cent, up from a low of 40. Which is reassuring. Maybe idiocy really does have its limits. Because I never understood bully love. Or how people could love a man who is trying to destroy the power of government.Even if it means our food is poisoned. You vote for them. They KILL you? WTF?
But here's the problem. Try as I might I can't help wondering whether the Greens are going to end up playing the same role Ralph Nader did in the American election. When he handed Florida and the election to George Bush. And now seems determined to do all over again. Running for the Ecology Party....sound familiar?
And talking to his parrot...
Ralphie. Ralphie. Pretty Polly. Pretty Polly. Who needs a parrot when we got a hawk like Palin? Just like who needs a spoiler in a Canadian election like this one? One that could give Stephen Harper a majority the size of a mountain, and kill the Canada we love FOREVER. And force me to make my Great Escape. Not like Steve McQueen on his motorcycle because we all know how that ended. But more like Sofia. The beagle...
Awwwwwww. Woof. Woof. Isn't freedom wonderful?
Which is why although I support all the progressive parties, I'll be voting STRATEGICALLY.
Because the road to hell....or a Harper majority.... may be paved with good intentions.
A while back I wrote a post where I wondered whether Sarah Palin's extraordinary ability to fascinate the American people ...dazzle and terrify them at the same time... was due to the fact she was The Anti-Christ.
Since then I've received quite a few e-mails from American readers asking me whether I REALLY think that The Barracuda is the Queen of Darkness. Like they do...
Now I admit that I have been too busy in the last few days tracking The Lard of Darkness Stephen Harper, to keep up with what's going on across the border. But from what I have seen the signs are OMINOUS. She's the biggest celebrity in America, but reporters can't ask her any questions... like she has a FORCE FIELD around her. A lot of women find her appealing.Even though she's a deranged Christianist who would ban abortion. Hypnosis or ... EXTRAORDINARY POWERS? Then there's the disturbing story about how The Chosen One treats her enemies. Is that DEMONIC or what? And finally there is the even MORE troubling video (VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED) of what happened to a poor guy who dared to cross her path...
Notice that she wasn't wearing her extremely popular glasses. The ones that make her look like a carpenter...from Mars. So now you know...when she takes them off...... DUCK or run for your life !!! Look I still don't know if Sarah Palin is the Anti-Christ. The one Americans have been waiting for FOREVER. But is that the sound of an Anti-Christ urinal flushing....or the sound of America going down the toilet?
Uh oh. Remember how last night I was wondering whether Sarah Palin was the Anti-Christ? Well BLOW me away. It turns out it's WORSE than that. How about the Happy Hallelujah Armageddon Warrior?
A hawkish and occasionally combative Sarah Palin warned last night she might commit US troops to a war against Russia in defence of Georgia and Ukraine in her first interview since John McCain chose her as his running mate.
Palin, who admitted last night she made her first trip outside North America last year, also said she was certain she was ready to step in for McCain as president
"I have the confidence in that readiness and knowing that you can't blink. You have to be wired in a way of being so committed to the mission, the mission that we're on, reform of this country and victory in the war, you can't blink...."
Which makes Palin even more dangerous than Chimp Bush and Dick Cheney. And forces me to offer my American friends some urgent advice.
If the worst happens, make sure that McCain gets ALL his organs replaced....with nice fresh young ones brought straight from Iraq.... BEFORE he becomes President.
Make sure Poppy is guarded day and night so the Christianist ninjas can't get to him. Especially when he's wandering around the White House late at night in his housecoat wondering why the North Vietnamese guards haven't come to put him to bed.
Or just drop Palin. As soon as you can...
I recommend that one. Eh? Because time is RUNNING OUT...
So I'm watching CNN's breathless coverage of Sarah Palin's arrival in Alaska last night. Anderson Cooper is so excited he keeps repeating over and over again that CNN is the ONLY network carrying it live. The reporter at the airport is going on about how many in the large crowd waiting to welcome her home are carrying large plastic red lips. And how MOVING it must be for the Palin family, since her husband finishes his snowmobile races right across the street. Wow. And then suddenly there SHE is. The Queen of Darkness. The redneck from Wasilla.
And now the crowd is going WILD. Some organizer with a bullhorn is trying to get them to chant McCain-Palin...but the mob is screaming Sarah!!!! Sarah !!!! And waving those big red lips. When David Gergen is asked what he thinks about all this he says he finds it "rare to the point of being bizarre." But I'm wondering whether The Barracuda is the Anti-Christ. Because she's managed to turn everything upside down. Experience is bad, ignorance is strength, all you need to be President is be a Mom, and if you have a child with a bun in the oven even better. She's just as flawed as we are," Tweddle said. "It's not the fact that she's a woman but the way she does it all. And let me tell you: There're more American parents with unwed pregnant teenaged children than American parents with Harvard grads. She's real." And if you write Wasilla backwards it comes out to ALL I SAW. And all I see is madness. Oh I know she still has her first interview to prep for. And Maureen Dowd has some choice words about that....and some tough questions. Does she really think Adam, Eve, Satan and the dinosaurs mingled on the earth 5,000 years ago?
Does she talk in tongues or just eat caribou tongues? And Andrew Sullivan has the obvious follow up video. But when I see Sarah Palin I don't see My Fair Lady. I see a hideous Christianist zealot, trying to make ignorance a virtue, riding a wave of popular hysteria fanned by the idiot media. And a movie that's more like this one...
Tell me when this nightmare is over. I don't dare look anymore.Who knew mindless celebrity culture could lead to fascism and nuclear war? The idiot chickens have come home to roost. The train called America is heading for The Abyss. And I wonder if anyone can stop it....
I've read a lot of bad things about Sarah Palin. But I didn't really understand what she's done to Alaska....or what an awful person she is until I read this. Because sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words.
And so is a video.
Sarah Palin. Not just a dangerous Christian extremist. An oil whore. And a fraud artist.
As Sarah Palin continues to heat up the airwaves and the blogosphere,and gets her own action figure. *Shudder*
Thomas Friedman wonders why Obama has gone so cold. I confess, I watch politics from afar, but here’s what I’ve been feeling for a while: Whoever slipped that Valium into Barack Obama’s coffee needs to be found and arrested by the Democrats because Obama has gone from cool to cold.
Somebody needs to tell Obama that if he wants the chance to calmly answer the phone at 3 a.m. in the White House, he is going to need to start slamming down some phones at 3 p.m. along the campaign trail. I like much of what he has to say, especially about energy, but I don’t think people are feeling it in their guts, and I am a big believer that voters don’t listen through their ears. They listen through their stomachs. But maybe that will change because now it's PERSONAL.
First they portrayed him as going after white women. Now they're distorting his position to make it sound like he's going after the children. And Obama is firing back.
"You can put lipstick on a pig. It's still a pig. You can wrap up an old fish in a piece of paper and call it change. It's still going to stink after eight years. We've had enough."
Finally.
The lesson for the progressive side in the Canadian election campaign?
Forget about trying to educate the public in about 30 days. Forget the empty rhetoric or the fancy plans.
Stephen Harper is a pig trying to put on lipstick.
Well I must say these aren't exactly the best of times to be a progressive. More like the beginning of the End Times. In the United States it seems that the Barracuda has given Poppy McCain a real surge. Even better than the one in Iraq he's always droning on about ...or the last time he took Viagra.
As the McCain-Palin bandwagon rolled into the big battleground state of Missouri yesterday, it was buoyed by the latest Gallup poll showing that the Republican senator received an 11-point bounce from his nominating convention. Analysts believe that much of this gain is due to the electrifying effect of the 44-year-old Alaskan Governor. And it gets worse. A new ABC/Washington Post poll revealed a major defection of females away from Mr Obama. White women now support the Republican ticket by 53 per cent to 41. Before the conventions, the Democrat led among the same group by 12 points. But the Democrats don't want to go after Palin because they're afraid of alienating women voters. Wot?
Meanwhile in Canada the progressive blogosphere is up in arms about this story.
Stéphane Dion's Liberals are losing the crucial close-fought ridings they won in the last election, leaking potential voters not just to the Conservatives on the right but to the Greens on the left, a new poll tracking key electoral battlegrounds shows.
Now I want to go on record as saying that I FERVENTLY believe that Elizabeth May should take part in the debate. *yawn* Some of my best idiot friends are Green supporters. And I think the television consortium is acting like the... um....Sicilian one. But I can't help but wonder, if the components of the centre left start stealing votes from each other, until they are all roughly equal.Who do you think is going to laugh all the way to an even greater majority? Which reminds me that Great Pig Leader is continuing his revolting Happy Pappy charade, by invading the living rooms of the nation ....and kissing feeding babies.
Unfortunately this is the only picture I was able to get of this sinister movie.I'll have to wait until it's released by the Con Propaganda Service. Although I'm sure it won't include my favourite scene.
When the child hoses down Great Pig Leader's face with a generous helping of regurgitated baby mush. And then reaches into its diapers for something even BETTER. But it doesn't matter. Because I prefer this version anyway...
But WAIT. Is that Great Pig Leader or is that We the People ? Beat the salami slowly baby.
Holy snowmobile! I've just watched Sarah Palin's speech. And all I can say is this: Who says you can't put lipstick on a barracuda...or a pitbull?
"I love those hockey mums," Palin said in acknowledgement of the crowd. "You know what they say is the difference between hockey mums and a pit bull? Lipstick." You know I hesitate to call her a bitch like the Republicans are always calling Hillary. But if she's a hockey mum, she must be the kind that swear, spit, and throw beer bottles at the referees. Or try to run over them in the parking lot.
I thought her speech was ugly, cheap, divisive, full of blatant lies, and crude attempts to turn ignorance into a virtue. And was delivered in such a grating voice that my head still hurts.
And I REALLY hated the way she carried that poor little baby around like a prop way after its bedtime. Or made the redneck who knocked up her daughter act like her fiance.
But what really shocked me was how the ugly fat white mob at the convention booed the media. And how that old Republikan strategy seems to be working.
Because if Wolf Blitzer and his CNN gang had bent any further backwards to praise Palin's rotten, demagogic, factually challenged speech, their heads would have been up their asses. "Wolf, Wolf, it's Larry. Whattya see up there?" Oh boy. I hope the American people weren't fooled by that ignorant, religious fanatic's speech. Because if they were and Poppy becomes President, I would like to be the first to offer up one of my kidneys.....as part of his Dick Cheney Total Organ Replacement Plan (TORP)....to keep him alive at all cost. As the lesser of two evils.
Because the thought of that phone ringing in the White House at 3 am, and President Palin picking it up, is too horrible to even contemplate.The Hallelujah Armageddon redneck with her finger on the button.
The good news?
After this nobody will feel sorry for her anymore. Or believe her I'm just a hockey mum act. Or cut her any slack for running her little village into the ground, abusing her powers as governor, or turning her home into a cat house....while belonging to extremist Christianist organizations that would turn America into a theocracy.
The future of America and the world is at stake. The Republicans have just shown their real face. The Barracuda is a pit bull. The piggies are the piggies. And the Culture Wars are back....
I can't tell you how happy and grateful I was today to see Sarah "The Barracuda" Palin do what I thought was impossible. Interrupt CNN's ghastly wind machine coverage of the hurricane that DIDN'T devastate New Orleans. If only for a merciful moment. By announcing to the world that her unmarried teenage daughter Bristol, had a bun in the oven. WAAAAAAAHHHH !!!!! Now I feel sorry for the kid. And I don't have anything against preaching abstinence to teenagers. In fact I'm all for it. As long as they are also educated about sex and birth control. Just in case, when you're young, horny, and drunk, abstinence doesn't work. But Palin, as a Christian Dominionist, doesn't believe in that. So as far as I'm concerned she's a rotten parent and role model so she should get what she deserves. And stop blaming the media. Or letting Cindy McCain defend her lack of foreign policy experience....
Hmmmm....
You know..... I think CNN, and the best political/hurricane wind machine team on television, are going to be VERY happy. Gustav was clearly a disappointment. But with its churning hurricane of hypocrisy and idiocy, AND the bouncing bun of joy. The Republican convention should be a REAL disaster. WAAAAAAAAHHHH !!!!!!! HA HA HA HA HA .......
