Has anyone ever seen Sarah Palin & Carrie Prejean in the same room together?
…it’s pathetic, really, truly, in a “Look at the rabbits, Lenny” kind of way, how now, with Ted Kennedy dead and the Chappaquiddick arrows gone, Coulter’s quiver of reference points is getting emptier and emptier. All she’s really got left is passive aggressive Bill Clinton sex remarks. Reading her columns these days, now that she’s been out-batshitted by Glenn Beck and out-babed by Sarah Palin, is not unlike listening to a toothless meth addicted woman at a bar tell you how hot she used to be and won’t you please let her suck your dick for a dollar.
Go. Read. Laugh: The Rude Pundit
Sarah Palin + Glenn Beck 4-ever!
The biggest joke in American politics wholeheartedly embraces the biggest joke on American TV.
I’m salivating at the prospects. Keep an eye on this is one, folks.
“[L]et’s be honest, you all, the media, tend to cover ‘X said this, Y said this,’ but some of you, but not everyone, does an investigation about whether what X said is actually true.” – White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs
Damn straight. Take, for example, this “death panel” nonsense. A couple of wingnuts (including Sarah Palin and Pat Buchanan) says Obama’s health plan includes death panels to decide who gets care and who doesn’t. Rather than reporting that Obama’s health plan has no such provision whatsoever, the media merely report that the Democrats say there’s no such provision.
If I had gone on national television last year and said that Dick Cheney eats babies, one would expect the media to say “Dick Cheney obviously does not eat babies” rather than calling the Office of the Vice President for comment. Do you see the difference?
They turn a simple matter of true/false into he-said/she-said. This is how journalism suffers in the name of “balance.” It happens all the time and it’s absolutely infuriating.
I take it back. Sarah Palin was right.
We DO have death panels. You and I call them “insurance companies.”
And there’s this:
The best estimate of the annual death toll among Americans of working age due to lack of insurance or under-insurance is at least 20,000…
That’s six and a half 9/11 attacks every year.
Sarah Palin is a five-star, pasteurized, homogenized, vacuum-sealed for your protection, grade-A fucking idiot:
The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama’s “death panel” so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their “level of productivity in society,” whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil.
Says Time’s Karen Tumulty, “Yes, such a system would indeed be downright evil. Which is why no one is proposing anything like it.“
A wingnut for whom Sarah Palin is not wingnutty enough.
MSNBC dedicates an entire segment every hour to expressing outrage over Letterman’s remarks about Sarah Palin, but they don’t seem to have any problem with far worse remarks which they pay Pat Buchanan to repeat on their network.
If they’re going to turn “teleprompter” into a bad word, good luck running Sarah Palin for president in 2012.
BONUS: Whether it’s from a teleprompter or a piece of paper, all presidents read their opening remarks. All. Of. Them.
I am not making this up. Today on my way to work I saw a pickup truck with a “Palin” sticker on the back window.
Let me clarify…it was a “McCain/Palin” sticker without the top half.
It appeared that the owner had deliberately trimmed McCain’s name, and not merely done half-assed job of scraping off the original sticker.
I also saw a dead-head sticker on a Cadillac, but that’s another story…
