I think that crazy fucker Bachmann throwing her job away is also another good catalyst for the approaching Democratic landslide. It helped people remember that the executive branch isn't the only one that needs some plumbing. It's time to clean all the pipes.

Please, for the love of god, vote Obama.

I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

Are you volunteering to take one for the team and clean Bachmann's pipes?

Just wonderin' if y'all are that mavricky 'n all. Or just crazy, inebriated or perhaps posted in haste.



Palin sez: Abortion clinic bombers are not necessarily terrorists.

I'm tempted to put that one in my sig. REALLY tempted.

On the other hand, where's the rest of that video?  I want to see if she caught herself and said, "oh, wait.  Yes they fucking are."  Or rather (since I know that didn't happen) I want to see if she said ANYTHING to mitigate the awfulness I saw.

[edit:  Here's her "full" answer:

Brian Williams: Is an abortion clinic bomber a terrorist under this definition?

Sarah Palin: [Sighs] There’s no question Bill Ayers, under his own admittance, was, um, one who sought to destroy, er, our US Capitol and our Pentagon. That is a domestic terrorist. There’s no question there. Now, others who would want to engage in harming innocent Americans or facilities, that, uh, er, that would be unacceptable. Uh, I don’t know if you’re going to use the word “terrorist” there, but it’s unacceptable and, uh, um, it, er, would not be condoned, of course, on, on our watch, but [sigh] I don’t know what you’re asking is if I regret referring to Bill Ayres as an unrepentant domestic terrorist. I don’t regret characterizing him as that.

Brian Williams: I’m just asking what other categories you would put in there. Abortion clinic bombers, protesters in cities where fires were started, molotov cocktails were thrown, people died.

Sarah Palin: I would put in that category of Bill Ayers anyone else who would seek to campaign to destroy our United States Capitol and our Pentagon and would seek to destroy innocent Americans.

[She literally cannot bring herself to call someone who bombs an abortion clinic in the same category, domestic terrorism, as someone who bombs the Pentagon.]

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

I have the most epic death scene ever in VGChartz Mafia.  Thanks WordsofWisdom! 

I love the look on McCains face in that vid. Its totally saying "What the fuck was I thinking?"

Yes I'm inebriated.  I didn't even realize I was talking about sex.  Oops?

 

@final-fan, HOLY HELL.  Once again, she's 100 times funnier when you read it instead of see/hear it happen.  And I can't believe how she fucked up the follow-up and didn't realize how insane she was.  Oh man.  I'm really gonna miss her.



Sarah Palin is just the gift that keeps on giving. McCain must really be getting senile in his old age if he was dumb enough to pick her. Throughout the post-primary season, he seemed like he was trying to appease the conservative base, which is NOT what you should try to do to get elected, especially when your party is incredibly unpopular.

If you would have asked me before the main election cycle started, I would have told you McCain would have tried to run as moderate of a campaign as possible, but in actuality he has been running as conservative a campaign as possible.

He really doomed himself for failure from Day 1 by running a non-substantive, tax-cutting, fearmongering, traditional Republican campaign rather than a substantive one that sought to incorporate moderates and Democrats.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Did you see his face in that video? He looked more patronizing than when he did the same at the debate.

I'm really starting to feel like he's not even trying anymore. It makes me mad. While I support Obama, the thing that keeps us strong, despite only having two parties in congress, is open dialog. If he isn't even trying that screws up our whole system.

OMG, McCain defending Palin on YouTube. Here's some numbers for Palin:

Palin's negative rating "is the highest for a vice-presidential candidate as measured by The Times and CBS News" -- even worse than Dan Quayle's. - Source

I am a betting man and I believe her negatives can go lower. I wish Palin would go and campaign for Michelle Bachmann, please.



jeese. So somebody that tries to inspire fear in those that dare disagree with their beliefs through violence, murder, and destruction are only terrorists if they are trying to destroy the US? That is an absolute shit answer. She's a major drag on the ticket. Oh well, only what? Nine days left until it's all over?
