AMERICAblog: Palin blames Steve "I worked for Karl Rove" Schmidt and Nicole "I worked at CBS" Wallace for her plunge in the polls

    Palin needs to go 'North to Alaska' and stay there.

    On another note....today the Minneapolis Star Tribune endorses Barack Obama for President.
    They also endorsed Norm Coleman for Senate.

    I was both happy to see it and surprised at the Obama endorsement as they have swung to the Right since a new publisher took over.

    Nothing funny about Star Tribune's treatment of Franken

    $177,000.00 is not nearly enough to cover up her flaws.

    Haven't I heard some where that Saint Sarah is a ferocious attack dog? Well go get 'em Sarah! This should ruin her for any future ambitions she has.
  • caerbannog · 1 year ago
    And she just just sank her fangs into McCain's ankle!

    Good dog, Sarah! Good dog!

    "10 more days, bitches."

    That would be, "10 more days, BEEYATCHES!"
  • brb915 · 1 year ago
    KEEPING VIGIL PEOPLE, LIKE JOHN SAYS 10 MORE DAYS.
    LET 'EM GO AT EACH OTHER-THEY DON'T NEED OUR HELP
    TAKE THE NEXT 10 DAYS, AND
    1. Go to your house of worship and pray for Obama's success and safety
    2. If you get a live robocall,keep them on the line as long as possible----there is less time to phone others
    3. volunteer for one last door to door canvass
    4. host a mixer for your neighbors---both Republican and Democrat
    5. see if there are any office needs at your local Obama office
    6. volunteer to drive the elderly to the polls
    7. go to a local sporting event in your Obama gear
    DO NOT REST UNTIL NOV.5---MAYBE NOT EVEN THEN

    agree - political activity should be a life-long effort, get informed, inform others, run for office, take part in meetings. voting is not enought at all...

    Mabe it *is* all the campaign's fault. I mean, they managed to present McCain as someone he has never been. Who knows what she was like before those clowns got their hands on her.

    Damn, it's enough to make you start believing all that New Age shit about The Law of Attraction.

    Alternately, it's enough to start you believing that all conservative politicians are arrogant, self-righteous douche nozzles.

    So many Republican tears to taste - drowning in the utter deliciousness of it all1
  • Older_Wiser · 1 year ago
    Palin actually seems to be very unknowledgeable about politics and what they mean, although she knows how to work a crowd and appeal to their baser instincts. While she allegedly had a minor in poli sci (betcha we'll never see her transcripts), she doesn't appear to understand where real democracy ends and fascism starts. Someone should hand her a list of the tenets of fascism and see how many she agrees with.

    I'd be willing to bet a bundle that she agrees with all of them. I'm telling you, she's a female, but harder, version of Huey Long.

    OT:

    Wanna see a crazy interview?

    Watch this local anchorwoman in Orlando start throwing right-wing talking points at Biden.

    The bias is just amazing--even worse than most of the Fox News people.

    The final 2 paragraphs of a lengthy, deliciously brutal piece on why the press couldn't see the McCain trainwreck coming down the track:
    The problem with McCain is not that he was unlucky, it was that he was insincere. In the white-hot glare of presidential politics, his various acts melted like butter on a hot stove in a collapsing economy while John McCain has nothing to say except smears, lies and personal attacks against his opponent.

    The nation wants Franklin Roosevelt, and McCain gives them Joe McCarthy. It is not a matter of luck; it is a failure of temperament and presidential character and judgment.

    Don't underestimate Sarah. Her selection was not a brain fart by McCain. She has been promoting herself for this for a few years now. In fact, she has gone to great lengths to suck up to the Washington insiders she claims to detest.

    This article in the New Yorker is kind of chilling -- and extremely ambitious woman. She's had her sights on the White House for a while.

    When this is blissfully over, let's say we have her stuffed and mounted like a moosehead that we can put above our national mantle. Fire the cosmetic girl and bring in the taxidermy guy.
  • Apphouse50 · 1 year ago
    This is now addictive. A day without stories of the McSame campaign unraveling is like a day without sunshine.

    I can't get enough.
  • blackwolf · 1 year ago
    lolllllll...John. Yeah, looks like McCain bit the bullit on this one. She'll throw him under the buss and say it was all his fault, and he'll do the same. Or, he'll admit the truth and say it was Rove and his cronies who made him do it. Either way, it'll be a lot to blog about.

    Great news for you guys to John. Word is, that folks are now addicted to getting the news first on your kind of blog format. We should be here for a long time to come.
  • lucky hussein · 1 year ago
    'bitches' I love it. I first started reading this blog in Nov 2006, when JA was blogging the a-hole senator from NJ, forgot his name, and it was a countdown until midnight or something, where he turned in to a pumpkin or something and the captions were '24 hours left bitch, 6 hours left bitch, ... etc... ;))

    Maverick is just a nice way of saying 'an asshole who doesn't play well with others.'

    Palin suffers from extreme hubris, and while I admit she must be smarter than she seems, I am not worried that we are underestimating her. She, like her "maverick" running mate, has extremely poor judgement, but almost no track record to inspired a second look. She's clearly a drag on McCain's ticket, but his failure is going to stick to her. Those in the party who still like mccain, are going to blame her. THose who didn't like McCain, probably dislike her by association. Sure, she's got a few born agains, but she really won't have a base off of which to launch her career.

    I say this completely convinced that this will be a tragic election for the Republicans.
  • scytherius · 1 year ago
    She just can't see that yeah, the did screw it up, they picked her as VP.
  • MNUSA · 1 year ago
    Palin may have a great future with the Repubs, but do they have a great future in the US?
  • tommytoonz · 1 year ago
    I have zero respect for Schmidt and Wallace, but it will be nice to see them publicly shun Palin after they lose. They gave her the perfect entrance, all she had to do was ride the wave and she choked, majorly. I can't wait to see her tossed to the trash heap of has been republicans.
  • JetSetter · 1 year ago
    Who the hell are Steve Schmidt or Nicole Wallace when you've been anointed by Christ and he's told you you're going to usher in the end times?

    Alaska's biggest paper just endorsed Obama -- WOW!!
    (www.adn.com)

    Here is some of the stuff they said about John McSame:

    "...Sen. McCain describes himself as a maverick, by which he seems to mean that he spent 25 years trying unsuccessfully to persuade his own party to follow his bipartisan, centrist lead. Sadly, maverick John McCain didn't show up for the campaign. Instead we have candidate McCain, who embraces the extreme Republican orthodoxy he once resisted and cynically asks Americans to buy for another four years."

    The ADN says McPalin is just not ready to be VP. Yup Yup! You Betcha!

    Looks like $150.000.00 lipstick doesn't work after all. Some women are just hard to please I guess.
