Sarah Palin interview today where her incoherent rambling isn't even the biggest reason this video is brutal but the nonchalance of the animal slaughtering in the background. Even the guy in the background is only half into what he's doing. He's probably more into the spectacle that is a Sarah Palin verbal train wreck. Who amongst us can look away from an accident?

I dislike Sarah Palin so very much but I admit I laughed at this.

The Disgusting Ignorance Of McCain/Palin Supporters In OH & PA

Racism, Xenophobia and Prejudice are all just words for John McCain that don't add up to a whole lot other than a vote. John McCain has no honor. he doesn't rail against the elements of intolerance that steam a percentage of his campaign. It's sick. So I came across these videos of his and Palins supporters in Strongsville, Oh (a place I didn't even know existed) and the comments are going to be upsetting to a lot of people but you need to see first-hand the kind of monsters McCain's campaign created and attracts:

Strongsville, OH


Bethleham, PA


John Edwards turned out to be not quite the man I thought he was but at least he had the moral guidance to say this during the Democratic Dogfight:

"If you won't vote for Obama simply because he is black, or you won't vote for Clinton simply because she is a woman, then I don't want your vote."

McCain is unwilling to even say that much publicly because the truth is, they all count the same in the end in his mind. It's sad.

The scary thing is, well the dog may be smarter than the woman she's imitating.

Post VP Debate Coverage

[LOL @ Joe in this picture looking like 'You got me going against Peggy fucking Hill? Is that what you are here for?']


I got more calls and interruptions during this debate than I anticipated but I still managed to jot down some notes and they are as follows:

9:18 - Palin is all nervous and tentative and anxious in getting in and remembering the points she was given to say. She sounds almost like Kanye in '05 with Michael Myers at that Katrina Benefit.

9:27 - She's very annoying.

She sounds like Bobby Generic's mom and looks like Peggy Hill. Her whole style is very cartoonish.

[Also she sounds like "Stuart" 's mom on from the MadTV sketches.]

9:57 - LOL @ Sarah Palin saying 'We need to stop looking backward and start looking forward' as it pertained to Iraq.

Funny my 2 year old niece said the same thing today when I babysat her and she walked up to me with a shitty diaper.

Point being it's easy to say let's move on when you're the one responsible for the shit in the past.

10:13 - Biden's been cleaning her clock the 2nd half of this thing and it isn't funny how bad she's getting.

She came out hardbody though. Can't deny that but she had all the lasting power of Rice Krispies after 5 minutes in milk.


10:23 - Damn Joe came through with the personal introspective identification with John Q. Anyman right there. Took it to the heart of folks with where he came from, the humble background and familiarity with single parents and those without. Good moment.


In summary, Biden won, not at first but as it went on he wore her down like a running back over the toll of a game. Palin was okay; didn't completely buckle and for that she deserves credit. Whatever her bar was she cleared it in the beginning. About a quarter til 10 she got worked over.

For those keeping score at home the Obama/Biden ticket is up a TD and field goal as it stands right now going into the half.

Tuesday's Obama/McCain debate ought to be fun.

Sarah Palin = Kerry Collins

 Don't see the resemblance? You should since they're essentially the same person.

They're both not really going to win the game but supporters of both teams just hope they just don't lose the game. Tonight Joe Biden and Sarah Palin go at it for 90 minutes and the country gets it's first opportunity to look at the two party's back-up quarterbacks side by side. The election is looking less and less like the serious democratic choice between differing paths to tackle common problems and more like a reality show. America is tuned in because they're broke and a dollar doesn't get you a can of soup anymore and a gallon of gas doesn't get your car next door but also because there's a folksy element to the election now with Palin that the country is following like a soap opera. In case you agree with me, here's one more thing you probably also think too: this is not a good thing for so many reasons beyond the obvious ones. Keeping a Cinderella in the playoffs in sports until the end when they're crushed in the finals by an overmatched team that earned it's way there is entertaining as hell only because it's sports but when someone who shouldn't be on the stage auditioning for vice president of the United States whose intelligence doesn't surpass your own it's a horrifying proposition. So as I'm sure her handlers are saying to her now, "Sarah just don't lose the game for us" like she is Kerry Collins. Kerry Collins is the starting quarterback to an undefeated NFL team with a league best defense but an offense that is usually overmatched week to week only Collins knows his limits and plays like it. He doesn't make the miraculous play or long strike downfield but just as important he also doesn't make the huge mistake the team can't afford.

In all seriousness Palin is probably smarter than the Katie Couric interviews indicate so I think she'll do a lot better tonight than most people are counting on her to so don't be surprised if she manages the game like Kerry Collins tonight. She just might win the game for McCain if she can just do that much.

Can Someone Please Tell Me Sarah Palin is a Fucking Joke, Please!

I mean she can't even name a news publication when given several opportunities.

If Barack Obama was this inadequate and mediocre and inarticulate he wouldn't be a U.S Senator, let alone a serious candidate for the oval office. You tell me why it seems to be okay with almost half the American people that Palin is.

What Does John McCain's VP Pick Say About Us? (Excellent Piece Written By Erin Kaplan)

I can't emphasize how good a piece this is and how many good, well formulated thoughts it points to that need to be read and understood that I'm almost begging you to read this if you've got 5-10 minutes which I know you do. We read bullshit nonsense 15 minutes out of everyday so you can make time to read something that actually sticks to your ribs as a personal favor to me, surely.

What Does John McCain's VP Pick Say About Us?

by Erin Aubry Kaplan

All my life I’ve resisted the philosophy of the Communist party members and other deeply disenchanted types that America is a lost cause. I’ve had my criticisms of this country, plenty of them. I still do. I don’t disagree too much with Communist Party’s analysis of America as a corporate plutocracy masquerading (very badly at this point) as a representative democracy.

But unlike the Party, I believe America can be redeemed. I believe it can change gears. I believe that beneath the rust and slime and infuriating hypocrisy is an ideal that’s battered but still intact, and we can save ourselves if we decide to use just a bit of it. I believe in a guiding light, even if we haven’t seen much wattage lately.

But with Alaska Governor Sarah Palin joined the Republican ticket as a vice-presidential candidate, I almost saw that light go out. The possibility I’ve believed in for the last 30 years felt, for the first time, like a complete sham, like I’d been believing in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.

It’s not simply that Sarah Palin represents the worst American archetype out there—arrogant, cutthroat, contemptuous of any reality other than her own (which can often mean racist), smile-in-your-face smarmy, and proud of all of the above; it’s that this worst archetype represents so much of America itself.

I would like to believe Palin is on the fringe of our groupthink, but she isn’t. True, she doesn’t fully reflect all voters out there, with the exception of the rabid Christian right. But too many people identify with too many parts of her, whether it’s the Christian certitude, the unfettered ambition, the perky pitbull image, or most importantly, the blithe sense of entitlement and righteousness that markets itself as American chutzpah but is really white privilege with good PR.

Actually, white privilege in America is good PR. They’re the same thing. Whites get the fullest benefit of PR and the rest of us are always doing damage control, even when we haven’t done any damage.

Imagine, for a moment, if Barack Obama had chosen a personable but remarkably inexperienced running mate, like Snoop Dogg. Imagine Obama insisting that Snoop had the chops to run the country because he’s a wildly successful businessman and a “quick study.”

Imagine Obama touting Snoop’s commitment to his kids’ Pop Warner league as evidence that he’s just a salt-of-the-earth kind of guy and a devoted “football dad.” Imagine Snoop bragging about his small-town bonafides (he grew up in North Long Beach, one of a million small towns in and around L.A.)

Laughable, right? Right. So why is it that Sarah Palin isn’t equally laughable?

Why is her ignorance so charming, while black ignorance of any degree (associated heavily with hip-hop) so threatening? Forget ignorance for a moment--why is Barack Obama’s intelligence equally suspect?

The answer is that when it comes to marketing, that endeavor of American invention, there is no such thing as a really good Negro. There is no such thing as a Negro who credibly represents all of “us,” which we think of as hockey moms or lunch-bucket workers or Reagan Democrats. The distressing fact is, it doesn’t matter how credible Obama (or Snoop) is or isn’t, they can never be credible enough because of their color.

Sarah Palin only has to be as credible as a contestant on “American Idol,” and that’s evidently enough to capture our imagination. We eagerly lap up all the Palin details custom-built for mythology: the librarian up-do and glasses that coyly speaks to a beauty-pageant past, the red-carpet smile, the vague Minnesota accent.

What possibility, we say. Only in America could a relative (but good-looking) nobody come out of nowhere and nab the second-highest office in the land.

But I don’t want a nobody in that office. I don’t want an average hockey mom. Black or white, I want somebody qualified, knowledgeable, empathetic, even extraordinary.

Sarah Palin is none of those things, but the scariest part is, her supporters know that. But they’ll willingly swallow the hype because the alternative, putting a black man in charge (albeit with a white VP a hearbeat away), scares them—and a lot of us--even more.

That’s not possibility, that’s capitulation. Obama has said we’re a better country than we’ve been the last eight years. I’d like to believe him, but I have precious little belief in the country left. With the lack of light, my vision is getting dimmer all the time.
