Live with Mike and Sarah!

Eye-raq. Eye-ran. Eye-am nauseous.

Eye see "Sarah in the Mornin'!"

Mike Huckabee is Fox's version of Regis. And now after last night's final audition, he's got his Kathie Lee in Sarah "Winky" Palin.

If ever there was a perky approximation of faux-MILF authority who could ably describe a wonky weather pattern or a stubborn traffic snarl, Ol' Vaseline-Teeth Palin could do it up nice and proper, you betcha by golly!

And if ever there was an indication how Pappy-Mac and his Femme Fa-talentless would govern this great land of ours, one need look no further than their whack-a-mole approach to their own campaign. "Hey, Maverick! There's a gaffe over there! An' over there! An' there's one over there in EYE-RAQ!!!" Oy.

Dan Quayle looks like Alistair Cooke compared to this most current excuse for a Republican construct who, like so many under the inauspicious aegis of BushCo has neither the qualifications nor the qualifications, nor even the qualifications for the job to which they are applying or will be appointed. And she's unqualified, to boot.

People's expectations are as broken as their government thanks to leaders like the Bubbly Boob from the Bering and her sociopathic sponsors, so hell bent on destroying this country's hopes that they let anybody with a will of putty and an unhealthy attraction to dyed, doddering sidekicks of a B-movie chimpanzee make a run for high office. They architects of that particular strategy have a subliminal snicker built into their incendiary rhetoric that is only now being heard clearly to the masses as the shopworn bromides are wearing thinner and thinner with each desperate application.

And whether Five Mules for Sister Sarah likes it or not, there ain't no getting away from George Bush: the wounds are open and weeping, in spite of her chipper facade.

She's already secured herself a position of influence, far more exciting and exotic than the lil' ol' vice-presidency. In six weeks, you can be sure she'll be part of the most conspicuously moral duo on TV. And we'll all be better for it, having helped to place her in a job she's really suited for.

Am eye making myself clear? You betcha. (Wink!)

The obliteration of the English language is nearly complete. You don't ask the moderator, "Can we talk about Afghanistan too?" It is may we talk about Afghanistan. After all the I-racks, New Clears and now Can we's, it's obvious that the destruction of the English language is at hand. For Karl Rove, there is an "O" on the end of Colorado, not an "A", what a mess. Nobody went to school!!!

From a Journalism major no less.
Hey all, what's happening with the PUMAs these days?
Have they, few as they were apparently, come around yet?

[Ohioan4truth]

My observation is......NEVER leave it in the hands of the judges! You may find out you've lost the fight because you didn't knock 'em out! When you're the "expected" winner and don't swing from the floor and not put you're opponent on the canvass for the final count you may end up scratchin' the 'ol noggin'
wondering how you lost the match. The final count's the only one that counts! Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one...YOU'RE OUT!

You betcha!

Femme Fa-talentless......!!!
Bubbly Boob from the Bering . . . !!!
Makes Dan Quayle look like Alistair Cooke . . .!!!

No wonder I like you, SW.

You describe things without exaggeration.

I am not quite sure why but Mr. Weber's post immediately brought to my mind a parody of Grant Wood's depression-era painting, "American Gothic", with Governor Palin and Senator McCain standing in for the farmer and his daughter. And, with some Dali-esque, surreal backdrop completing the picture. Someone with some graphic arts experience needs to do this!

[imfedup]

"Depression Era" is the operative term here.

[rock2casbah]

I think she will dissapear back into obscurity like Katherine Harris. Remember her? The chad-hanging, vote-stealing" "rising star of yesteryear?

This has happened before. Go ask Katherine what all she was promised to rig an election. I am sure you can find her somewhere down in Florida at your nearest make up counter buying herself a new batch of industrial strength mascara nd rouge.

They use these conservo Barbies rgularly then toss them aside after rigorous use. That's what they think of women.

[Mariel]

Anyway, the fundamentalists are not quite as in love with her as before. Because she said that the Israeli problem should be settled by creating two states, and then grinned. Christians do not like the dividing of Israel that way. It goes against the Bible big time.

It's nuts anyway, to divide Israel, a tiny little place already. Jordan was supposed to be the Palestinian state. Wha' happened?

You'd be surprised how many Christians just got off the Palin bus over that one.

[imfedup]

She [hearts] Israel. (Let's try this. Putting something in carats < > makes it disappear . . .)

[mlaiuppa]

Well, she may need that job if the recall gains speed and goes through. She can't take that job with Fox as Huckleberry's sidekick unless she relocates to the lower 48. After that fuss she and Todd Dude made about their baby having to be born in Alaska in order to be a fisherman or some such garbage....would she really locate the entire family just for a big media job and a cushy paycheck?

You betcha!

[oldfart1]

It's a done deal.

Watching this whole campaign reminds me of why I hate advertising, because that's what the entirety of politics in this country has been reduced to. Sarah Palin is the crowning example of the triumph of sales over substance. Unlike Obama, whose substance is questionable, and McCain, who has given up and/or sold off whatever substance he may once have had, Palin is a creature of complete hype; there was never any substance to her. There is no "there" there--and the frightening thing is that the very absence of essence is what appeals to those who support her.

[phoenix2000]

I believe Bill Maher said it best " Hillary Clinton is qualified, Condoleeza Rice is qualified and Sarah Palin is qualified..to bring me peanuts and a beer." This woman is not only an embarrassment to the world of politics, but i believe she just pushed the women's movement back a 100 years. She just proved to me the IQ of the republican party.

[sonshine]

I wondered what she would do after she's kicked to the curb by the fools who are pulling her strings. Do you think she'll go to testify in the Trooper case now that the Court in Alaska has upheld the validity of the subpoenas? I need encouragement that justice has not left America.

[BadChristian]

I watched the footage of her in the Alaska Gubernatorial debates and I think all this folksy stuff is pure hokum.
From picking St. Paul for the RNC to switching soccer moms to "hockey moms," I think she is a selection based on focus groups targeting Minnesota. Not Minneapolis, but the out-state and small town areas. When I hear her speak, I think she sounds a lot like an Sven, Ole and Lena Joke, which I think is also manufactured by people telling her to sell a stereotype. The jokes are funny, and we can laugh at ourselves, but selling us "Lena" as a Vice President isn't funny.
I think there's gonna' be a bounce-back when people compare her performance in the Gubernatorial debates to what we saw last night... I think they will have worse returns from this state than they expected for this "Caricature."

Yah... You betcha', I do.

[kellygrrrl]

does sarah really believe that Americans want to hear that "Every Administration makes HUGE blunders"

not very presidential

[RhiannonMR]

I live in flyover country and I've never heard people talk like Ms Palin. Of course I live in TX which has it's own accent. But then that accent is understandable and variable depending on what part of TX you are in.

What one friend and I commented on last night was that Sarah Palin sounded like a beauty contest finalist answering the all important 'serious' question. You know,. the one where the contestant usually trots out world peace as a goal she'll work for should she get the crown? They never do, and really why should they? They entered the contest for the scholarship money or the instafame of winning.

Palin is as phoney baloney as any other pol out there but hers just doesn't work.

[pencilpusher]

"I live in flyover country and I've never heard people talk like Ms Palin."

Rent "Fargo" and listen to Frances McDormand (wonderful actor) as Marge Olmstead-Gunderson. It's a fairly common accent in that part of the country. Tina Fey nailed Palin's AK version, though I don't remember ever hearing it in the two months I lived up there.

I live in flyover country. I'm not a Birkenstock-wearing, Volvo-driving , latte-sipping anything. And I don't think I'm a snob.

I'm a moderate-to-liberal, who spent 8 years of the Reagan administration listening to his supporters refer to people who didn't fall into line with their trickle down economic theory as "squishes."

I vote for Republicans on the local level; many of them are people that I know and respect. On the national level, however, I'm tired, tired, tired of being told that if I don't cover myself in flag pins and yellow ribbons that I'm unpatriotic.

I went to a state university. I took it as an opportunity to learn how to learn, and how to question the world around me.I'm tired of neocons who deride education, but send their kids to the best schools. And I'm particularly tired of the spoiled scions of those families who, once they do get into the best schools as legacies, do everything they can to throw that opportunity away.

None of the folks running for president....NONE of them....are "one of us." Gov. Palin is not an accidental anything. She ran for mayor. She ran for governor. And she took advantage of the training from GoPac. Her ambition and her achievement are impressive.

I don't care how she pronounces Iraq, Iran, or nuclear. I don't like the Republican platform this year, plain and simple; that is why I'm not voting for the McCain ticket.

[LiberalBuzz]

Great post there wearyvoter and your name appears to support what you said.

Very well done.

I could not agree more.
