Just throw a stone into any gathering of conservatives and you are guaranteed to hit one! Two in this case. Sarah “Death Panel” Palin reveals that she is an erstwhile socialist medicine tourist, and anti-gay rights crusader and Repug California State Senator Roy Ashburn admits that he is more gay than Adam Lambert.
Trial by Monster Truck
I can’t determine which is crazier – the claim that Obama shouldn’t be President because he wasn’t born here, or the belief by a large majority of Repugs that he didn’t wind because little old ACORN managed to steal 9.5 million votes.
Are they stupid, crazy or does this just demonstrate the success of the big lie technique as applied by Faux News and the Wrong-Wing Media Echo Chamber? Or all three?
Combine this with the obvious popularity of Caribou Barbie among the wingnut set, and you come to realize that Idiocracy is closer at hand than 500 years in the future.
Maybe we could make the Khalid Sheikh Mohammed trial more popular with the Palin crowd by including monster trucks, flamethrowers and chainsaws.
*Update 11/24/09* case in point:
Although Sarah Palin didn’t get the chance to shoot the nation’s wolves from an upgraded White House helicopter, she will still get the last laugh as Obama decides to pursue Shrubya’s rancher-friendly policy of delisting wolves from the Northern Rockies from the endangered species list. Although I had thought Obama was shaping up as a Lyndon Johnson, he is now reminding me of Bill Clinton, who pulled the rug out from under Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt’s attempts to make ranchers and miners pay free market rates for their exploitation of public lands.
Sorry Sarah, not only was there be no ‘talent portion‘ to the beauty contest, but there will be no consolation prize either.
Arctic temperatures are at record highs. And just for the record, the McCain/Palin ’solution’ to global warming? Drill, baby, drill!
…if you can afford to wear a $2,500 custom tailored Valentino jacket. Remember what a big deal the asshole Repugnants made over John Edward’s $200 haircut? Their media shills kept that story around for a whole month – but the $2,500 hockey mom ‘costume’ story gets buried.
After continually ragging on Obama as a ‘one speech wonder,’ McBush has counseled Anna Nicole Palin to avoid all questions and just parrot soundbites from her attack convention speech at all press events. If we had an free and aggressive press, I wonder what type of questions they’d ask? Would they probe into her links with disgraced Alaska Senator Ted “Sleezy” Stevens?
Tip of the ‘Nose to regular and frequent commentor “Kilgore Trout”
P.S. – As if validating the Exiled article linked above, apparently Alaskans still love Sleezy – Palin’s popularity has given him a ‘bounce’ in his re-election bid. Can we strip them of statehood?
