When they say "crafty"...

...what they mean is "witch-crafty."

Naive conservative teenager blames media for uncomforable cognitive dissonance on hearing fact that Quit-Quits supported the bank bailout at one point. The point being of course "when a Republican was president".

Said naive teenager, who hadn't understood that Sarah Palin doesn't have positions so much as a disposable collection of good yarns, labeled the reporter's temerity at pointing out an uncomfortable truth to her as "crafty" -- ie devious, devilish, and that sort of jazz.

That's right; when the world don't arrange itself according to notion, obviously it's the devil bidness at work.

Sheesh. Live a little longer, kiddo -- Mooseburgers'll show you her stuff, crafty or no crafty.

Cafe Press Removes the Psalms 109:8 Cr*p

Via Palingates: Huzzah.

Just gotta say, for the folks promoting this crudola, that somebody's mothers didn't raise them right.

Heh-heh-heh

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee wrote an open letter to Palin asking her who she's endorsing in Florida, Crist or Rubio.

Think about the humor in that. The DSCC is publicly asking Palin to endorse somebody -- because, based on NY-23 and the past presidential election, Palin's involvement in a campaign a) drives democratic donations, and b) mean chaos and, so far, failure for GOP and 'bagger candidates alike.

And the beauty of it is, *being who she is* she can't *not* get involved, and GOP candidates can't *not* ask her for endorsement.

Exception that proves the rule: the VA GOP gubernatorial candidate, I believe, explicitly wanted her to stay out of the race -- although she got involved in robocalls in the last week, anyways. 'Cuz, as I said, she couldn't help herself. She got in late on that one, though -- the DSCC is trying to get her in early, to do the most damage.

TPM goes on to write that Rubio is open to her support although doesn't want to be seen with her yet...and Crist is more in the wouldn't-touch-her-with-a-ten-meter-cattle-prod-land.

Heh.

Yeah, I'm Ignorant -- So What?

"Ultimately, Going Rogue goes rogue as a political memoir, demonstrating what can only be described as a persistent and guileless lack of knowledge of even basic foreign-policy or domestic political issues. It is what we might have expected from Palin. And it is much less than anyone should expect of a candidate for one of the most powerful offices on Earth."
-- Anne Lowry, Is There a Palin Doctrine?, Foreign Policy

I paraphrase the esteemed Dick Cheney when I say, "Reviews Don't Matter". Yeah, it's a sack of cr*p. Writing a sack of cr*p didn't hurt Joan Collins or Tim Lahaye, so why should it hurt Palin?

Argh. She's thinks being disparaged by her "enemies" means she's acting correctly. Based on my multitudinous reading of 'bagger article comments, the right seems to share that theory. "She makes liberals angry/afraid/lose it, so therefore..."

Ah, but if she's being disparaged for, say, not knowing how to fix a sink, and she *in fact* does not know how to fix a sink, just because *it was her "enemies" pointing out her lack* does not mean that therefore, somehow, she *does* know how to fix the sink.

Don't matter who said it, the sink's still broke. And I wouldn't trust her to know which end of the thingie tightens the doodler, if you see what I'm saying.

Flock the Jews

Goldblog on Palinschatology, or, "The Flocking of the Jews".

The biggest Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot in there was this line: "But now look at the secular left, it's very anti-Semitic. Look at the people who are surrounding Obama. They're very anti-Semitic."

Yeah, like Rahm Emmanuel. Man, I pegged him as an anti-Semite the moment I saw him. That missing part of his finger? Broke it off in some rabbi's tookus, Nu?

Look, Numb-nuts (I say, shaking my fist at my monitor), there's a difference between being against Israeli policy viz Palestine, the two-state endgame, settlements, and all that, and being anti-Semitic.

Take a look at the 'baggers waving signs about Obama being funded by the Rothchilds, and then get back to me about how the left is anti-Semitic, and how the right loves them some Jews. Explain to me again how those two GOP doofuses in South Carolina yapping about how de Mint was just being frugal "like a wealthy Jew"is not anti-Semitic.

A Nazi group thought they'd find welcome reception at a 'bagger rally; now why is that, do you suppose?

UPDATE:

Yeah, I says to myself, I wonder why. Racism: in for a penny, in for a pound.

Say It Ain't So, Schmo

A-ha-ha.

When people realize you can't please all of them all of the time, you start falling incrementally from the godhead status, and back into the public sector where, as Ray Stantz so aptly said, "they expect results".

This Palin-facebook-wall excerpt from the above link is telling:

" You angered and disappointed over 300 families in Noblesville tonight. I attended Mike Huckabee’s book signing yesterday. He had pre-signed book in case he would be unable to sign all the books for people who qualified. His books would be exchange one for one with any one whose book he could not sign

First, you should work to make this right. Second, you need to make sure that it never happens again!"

This speaks to a tour management that fell down on the job. Understandably -- I'm not knocking them for missing something on a complex tour. But these are things one might expect a *really good campaign group* to handle correctly -- and Palin just spent 400 pages slagging her last team.

Who's gonna sign up to be used and abused after that?

This one's even better:

"“I’m very disappointed. I think it was very rude. She could have at least apologized, and she didn’t even do that."

These people expect an apology from Palin? Have they even *read* her book? The closest thing to an apology she's going to come to is slagging Barnes and Noble, and if that fails, her PR team, and if that fails, one of her family.

Like a mother bear, with rabies.

Step right up -- see the tallest midget, the shortest giant, the skinniest fat man, and the most unpopular popular phenomenon in America.

Mmmmm....stuffing.

Everything She Touches Turns to Sh*t

Immediately after Palin featured on Oprah, Oprah announces show will end.

Coincidence? I'm just asking, is all.

And no, I didn't kill a girl in 1990.

I can't be positive about 2005, though. I don't remember most of January.

Don't Ask Me Questions; I Only Deal in Answers

Palin Lives in Myth-Time

Andrew Sullivan comes to the realization that trying to reconcile the various versions of history that Sarah Palin has offered over the course of her griftership is like trying to reconcile different stories about gods told by various Greek poets. Impossible, because in myth-time specifics are less important than perceived truth.

On the other hand, one shouldn't vote for a myth if one wants the garbage collected on time.

Quote for the Day II

"But anyway, I'm tired of all this meta-journalism. Does examining [Palin] make me look obsessed? Does not examining her make me look cool? Who gives a f*ck? She's a great story, a truly bizarre creature, an international woman of mystery, and completely off her rocker."

UPDATE:

Palin gets Iran and Iraq confused.

John Stewart peels back the Palin onion and finds no onion there.

Ah, Jeez

The dummy speaks. That said, it was a gotcha question, and obviously Hannity has self-esteem issues. ("Gotcha" in this case meaning any question that requires knowing something in order to answer it.)

Hey, anybody having a flashback to the campaign when every time Mooseburgers got anywhere near a mike you could actually *feel* McCain and the GOP cringe through your monitor?

Michael Sarah Steele Palin, forever and ever, amen.

Quote for the Day

"I can think of plenty of politicians who are genuinely, unambiguously dumb. I've even met a few, and marveled at how they were able to attain any kind of political responsibilities, given their limited intellectual prowess. But I don't think I've ever seen a politician as conspicuously unintelligent as Sarah Palin gain national prominence. She represents the very worst American politics has to offer, and the embarrassment she brings to the political system is severe."

Wah-wah-waaaah

Apparently, no, there is no un-un-conceding.

And here we have a line that encapsulates the general run of 'baggin' "thought":

"Mr. Hoffman provided no evidence to support his claims, but asked fellow conservatives to send donations his way to “ensure every vote is counted.”

...

Robert H. Ryan, Mr. Hoffman's spokesman, declined to provide supporting evidence for his candidate's claims Wednesday.

“When and if we challenge the election, we will lay out the evidence on these matters,” he said."
-- "Hoffman: ACORN, unions, Dems tampered with NY-23 election," Jude Seymour, WatertownDailyTimes.com.

And I have a list of known communists working in the gummint, right'chere in muh briefcase. I have met Wheeling, and it is us.

Dudes, figurehead choice, please. You have obvious doofuses hammering your excuses like ACORN to death, and pretty soon your excuses will be seen as just stuff doofuses say.

And by "pretty soon" I mean now.

Quote of the Day, II

"That would make even Michiko Kakutani laugh, and Michiko Kakutani never laughs."
-- Commenter Brando in response to Matthew Continetti's quote about Palin making him think of Hans Robert Jauss, as related in "Matthew Continetti will continue to stalk you until you promise to love Sarah Palin long time, Joe." on Tbogg.

Michiko Kakutani, y'all.

Fool "you people" twice

Dude. Fox again making with the phoney-baloney crowd footage, this time for Palin's nimrodpalooza.

So that's two.

Scorpion, Meet Breast

After hwanging McCain's campaign staffers et al., Palin sez "primary Lindsey Graham."

Graham's a real good friend of McCain, ain't he? She's not going out of her way to give McCain incentives to refrain from torpedoing her.

Are we seeing a Sampson Option playing out?

I could see this coming. The GOP created this golem; now they gotta deal with her.

Uh-Oh

Palin should never, ever have put anything in writing. (Although, realizing that she's never cracked anything more complex than a Chick Tract, it's understandable that she didn't realize that when you write something down, it stays put. She's more familiar with talk radio and tv's oral history, where you can say any damn thing because people forgot what you said last week, let alone last year.)

Anyways, ominous rumblings during the Palin book analysis over at the Daily Dish. That, combined with the presumably upcoming custody case...Somebody better keep the lithium handy, is alls I'm saying.

Seriously, 'baggers, you need to get yourself some better quality mouthpieces. Scrapin' crazy with Taitz and Prejean and Palin and Beck just does not do you any favors.

Dobbs, as much as he's a xenophobic loon, would be a step in a better direction.

UPDATE:

* More evidence Mooseburgers lives in Fringecaseland, where every single failure in and of itself can be explained away. And it's all failure.

* Um...wow. Not getting all worked up about this, but....if true, holy schnikes.

This is definitely the way to get the MSM to do some in depth reporting on herself; America loves it some hypocritical comeuppance.
