Every family has one of these: Mark Williams

D-list conservative columnist Mark Williams brought his pelican throat to MSNBC this morning to explain the rationale behind his PAC's "Thank you, Sarah Palin!" ad campaign:

Thanksgiving is in three days, and every family has at least one Mark Williams sitting at the table. If you're like us, you'll be shutting down emotionally around the time someone mentions "Arianna Huffington's Post" or the Daily Cows.

If you must engage in debate, please use your indoor, Rachel Maddow voice. And if you are shouted down, well, be thankful that your guy won.

Are they thanking her because they lost, and all of the polls said she was a major cause of this? I don't get it. People are strange. Did you hear the one about Coulter? :)

I truly, honestly thought these 'ads' were spoofs from SNL.

If they want to air this during Thanksgiving football, hey, they can go for it. I just wish someone else would whip up a sequel to run on alternate breaks.

"Thank you, Sarah Palin, for alienating moderate voters who might have voted Republican. Thank you, Sarah Palin, for restoring many Americans' faith that the far right doesn't control the country anymore. Thank you, Sarah Palin, for inspiring "Who's Nailin' Paylin"; Porn actors with fake Russian accents delivering horrible pick-up lines are awesome."

wow, I really thought he would stop talking way before he did. Nora just let him talk. Did he wrong her in any way?

Thank you, Sarah Palin, for adding much-needed (unintentional) humor to the campaign. Thank you, Sarah Palin, for not being afraid of splattered animal blood and guts. Thank you, Sarah Palin, for making never want to shop at Nieman-Marcus again. And lastly - thank you, Sarah Palin, for making horny old Conservative men stop talking about Ann Coulter for a while (hopefully, forever).

Oh, and for helping Obama win? That was just gravy.

Wait, wait.... So those ads were for real? I thought they were a sarcastic joke!

You can always tell who the racists are - they're the ones who always inform you that they have a friend who isn't white.

Wait, he spent well over 8 figures before election day and lost horribly?
I'd keep that to myself if I were him.
