Obama admin's OPM, headed by a gay man, reportedly blocks lesbian from getting health benefits
McSame has REALLY proven his inability to make a good decision by choosing Palin. He couldn't have picked a worse chose to neutralize and REVERSE all the lines of attack they had made on Obama. For instance, even one of Charlie Black's 9/11 styled attacks would backfire on them now that he has chosen a complete neophyte. McSame certainly painted himself into a corner with this one. Man, what a GAMBLER! I hope to GOD he doesn't get a chance to gamble with our nation's future. Our nation just can't afford it.
You do realize that you have more foreign policy experience in this one paragraph than Palin has had in 44 years....right?
If anyone can direct me to a Charlie Black quote over the past ten years that has been even remotely accurate, I'll buy you a bridge in Alaska.
The wingnut Repubican party has an overwhelming manic quality to it. You have the diabolical gravitas of Cheney as the last Republican V.P. choice, and now you have the featherweight Palin. My guess is that in a Cheney vs. Palin match, Cheney just stares at Palin and she melts.
The V.P. was the office by which the Republican establishment remotely controlled the executive office.
I'm thinking now that after Obama's Thursday night performance, Romney and Pawlenty called McCain and said thanks, but no thanks, good luck with the campaign. McCain then had to go to the Republican bench and reached past AAA, AA, single A, right into the Rookie extended spring training league. Yeah, good luck with that John.
Maybe they'll cancel next weeks convention, and never reschedule it.

I've been worried up and down since this thing started, but this has got me seriously worried.
he'll never be in office. terminal.
Jesus effing let's-cut-a-hole-in-the-sheet-and-make-a-baby Christopher Christ. These people just telepathically Tazed me.
Now I have to stop on the way home and pick up some eye bleach.
I haven't laughed this hard since this morning when I heard the annoucement!
I read 'foot of the master' and Star Wars imagery popped into my mind as well. Of course Darth Cheney started my whole Star Wars Empire = Republican Party thing 8 years ago...
So McCain has done even "more of same", like Bush he has (or will have if he wins) hired someone with no experience to head the second most important office in this country. How ironic that this announcement came on the anniversary of Katrina. Like Michael Brown, Sara Palin is not qualified for this office.
Have you thought about this? Hmmmmm?
Yeah, but even in this McC is a failure because he's too obvious.
GOOD ONE, KAROL!
NILAP HARAS is Sarah Palin spelled backwards. That sounds like a terrorist name. Oh fuck. Oh fuck, fuck, fuck................
Are they really just throwing in the towel?
Did the first 5000000000 people they asked decline?
There's got to be something behind this doesn't there?
A few of us were puzzling over this during dinner.
We concluded it's either the biggest screwup since Tom Eagleton or it's some kind of fiendishly brilliant plot we still haven't figured out yet.
It's stunning to me that on a gay guy's blog, nobody has made this comparison yet...it takes a lesbian...

Karl Rove fucked up big-time.
Doesn't he require that she make less as a woman?
Maybe you're on to something. That leaves more money for a war in Iran.

I guess McCain still hasn't found out about Google.
I'm setting up a pool. Place your bets on how many days it will take for Rethugs to dump Palin and maybe McCain, too.

Maybe they're just trying to say that we need to be ran into the ground by someone pretty. It'll hurt less.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
and hes a skin cancer survivor who was tortured in Vietnam. Its a miracle he lived to 72. Id say the odds of him surviving his entire first term (god forbid he even gets one) would be about 50/50.
its almost as if Mother Nature is casting a vote...
And since you're flooding this blog with the idiotic notion that Palin's last child was actually her daughter's, would you mind never replying to my posts again with your idiocy? Thanks in advance.
Palin was an activist for Pat Buchanan, who's an anethma to Jewish voters.

Hey Florida !!!!
Come to Poppa!!!
She did name the kid "Trig". Must be a geneographical mystery.
....and Bush looked into Putin's soul.
If we, (and I mean the DNC, Obama, Biden and the liberal blogosphere) don't take this as a serious threat, by demeaning her and not taking the above mentioned criteria seriously, this one might just slip by us. Then we have Gov. Palin, with less than a year of executive experience, and NO foreign policy or military experience "learning on the job", not ready for day one if McCain should die.
I'd fire away with ads asking if he intends to pay her like a man.
She went to work three days after giving birth to the child, and now is planning on campaigning for and becoming vice president when the kid is 4 months old.
Happens every day.
WHERE'S CAYLEE, YOU BITCH?
Apparently, he wanted Lieberman up until the 11th hour, but his advisors told him the Repub base would never hold.
So he looked again at Pawlenty, Ridge and Mitt, but didn't think any of them were mavericky enough.
And in walked the former Sportscaster and Miss Alaska Third Runner Up, and the rest is history.

LOL
Remember the absurdity of the Brooks Brothers riot? It got 'em 8 years. It was out there. It was crazy. It was theater. But they did it and it was instrumental in monkey wrenching the '00 election. How 'bout the RepubCo fools hanging around in the dark stamping their feet because they can't drill offshore? RepubCo are the drama queens and this is just more drama. How many tickets will they sell?
To the pregnancy for a sec. I heard Rachel Maddow and several others describe how her water broke just prior to a speaking even she attended in Texas, that she spoke anyway and then flew home to Alaska b/c she just had to make sure the baby was born there. Uh, that does NOT jive with medical care, progression of a normal pregnancy, and certainly NOT with premature labor. Flying would be contraindicated after rupture of membranes, so - just doesn't seem remotely possible as a real life scenario. Period. Now move to the announced 5th pregnancy at 7 months and no one noticed, then delivered child prematurely a few weeks later. If that's accurate, the delivery of a down's baby prior to 8 months gestation, again she would NOT be in a position to return to work three days later. Unless she left the baby in a level 4 NICU alone, or with her husband in same said place. Just does NOT make any sense...
fast forward to today. Baby is 4 months old now. Uh, even a mild spectrum down's infant is an extremely high needs child. How does she explain her ability to both run for VP and adequately provide for the baby's needs. Down's babies are very sensitive to absence of parents and have a high need for consistency and routine. Far too many questionable things here, not the least of which involve her ethics...
Sounds like something from Desperate Housewives.
You should point that out whenever you hear her career falsely described.
Here's a cached release of her praising Obama's energy plan.

Of course, the original has been scrubbed off the alaska governor's site.
If McCain wanted a former beauty queen with no experience and a
criminal investigation on her record, then why didn’t he just pick his own wife?
http://www.grizzlybay.org/SarahPalinInfoPage.htm
She is way, way, over her head in this position, and it will be a disaster.
Her supporters claim she has more experience than Obama, but if all the experience she has had is living next to Russia, this country is doomed.

With even the smallest possibility of Mrs. Palin becoming our Commander in Chief we need to know before voting if she believe in family planning.
It is obvious Rove was involved in the choice, but the only logic that was being used was that the Democratic duo is so strong and the experience of Biden trumps any attempt to go after Obama on experience. It does give the Repubs the female vote, they think.
What it really says it that the role of President and Vice President in the Repubs eyes are meaningless. Just as it has been throughout Bush's 8 years. Rove, Cheney and the cabal will continue to control the oval office and everything we do if McCain should get elected. They now have two people with no experience on a single thing except crashing jets, using your position to exert the will of big business and a VP who doesn't know what her job entails. What could be better for the lobbyists, gun nuts, evangelicals. In short order they will have McCain's signature on a rubber stamp to take the exertion out of him signing it himself. Then he can go to one of the 9 homes. I wonder which one will become the Western White House. No place to cut brush and entertain Puutti-Puut. This is like an episode of Reno 911 where you have total incompetents running a sheriff's office unfortunately it is the U.S. I would laugh my ass off but I am crying too hard to switch gears.
Are we flippin' surprised? A horse broker as the head of FEMA. A 34 year old vetting federal attorneys....
It's a flagrant and desperate attempt at wooing the media created disgruntled Hillary follower. What a new low in American politics.
And BTW....during Palin's acceptance speech...was he looking at the teleprompter on the podium or was he looking at her boobs?
