Gov. Sarah Palin will resign her office in a few weeks, she said during a news conference at her home Friday morning. Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell will be inaugurated at the Governor’s Picnic at the end of the month.
UPDATE: Holy crap did you see her statement? Welcome to crazytown.
Oh please let her say, “You won’t have Sarah Palin to kick around any more.”
Please?
Now who’s going to protect us from Russia?
This will really hurt David Letterman’s career.
Watching her verbal diarrhea on CNN and my head is swimming with nonsensical reasons. Audible, troops, parents refrigerator, god bless, have my heart.
Loony tunes. Quoting General McArthur. Loony tunes.
One down. Taking bets on Sanford?
Audible, troops, parents refrigerator, god bless, have my heart.
Rocketship fish parts, wolf claw necklace, diaper pail waffle house.
bzzt….bzzzzzzzt!
We’re “afraid of her”
On the other hand,
(say it with me now)
GOOD NEWS FOR JOHN MCCAIN!
Under Barack Obama’s watch, unemployment continues to rise!!
UPDATE: Holy crap did you see her statement? Welcome to crazytown.
Can’t wait to see what she puts up on Twitter.
Dork.
Also there, too: http://www.gov.state.ak.us/news.php?id=1946
The “Selected Accomplishments of the Palin Administration” is an instant classic.
(say it with me now)
GOOD NEWS FOR JOHN MCCAIN!
Pfft–it’s EXCELLENT news for John McCain…he might just pull this presidential thing out yet!
She’s clearly defeated Russia and will now run for Governor in Florida to defeat Cuba.
Under Barack Obama’s watch, unemployment continues to rise!!
SQUIRRELLLLLLLLL!!!!! WAAAAAHHHH! WHYYYYYYY???!!!
Doesn’t something like this usually precede an indictment of soem kind?
How could she possibly spend any more time with her family than she already does?
Duros62:
Even an Obama supporter like me thought that was funny. Just think how PO’ed Colbert and Stewart are because they have next week off.
This is good news for Frenchy Mitt Flip Flop Romney.
Complete Video- Palin Resignation Press Conferance
Say, Oliver, what’s the word from King Kos? Can we stop being afraid of her now?
LOL. LOL. LOL.
Isn’t it traditional to announce a Presidential exploratory committee, if that’s the way you’re going? OTOH, if some new infidelity were about to make the news, this sort of mystery resignation would be the way to go.
Jesus. This is the death of the GOP. OMG.
OMG! That woman and her word salad interviews. I got a headache the first 30 seconds and had to rest–then try again. C’mon Sarah, just say that there’s a serious scandal coming down the pike and you’re moving the Fam down into the bunker.
OMG! That woman and her word salad interviews.
What is her beef with punctuation, anyway?
Big props to Save Farris for being the only wingnut with something to say int his thread so far.
Dennis, how is the stock market doing?
Tremble before her, she’s now unleashed!
Palin/Steele 2012 !!
That clears the way for Mark San…
Wait.
The long, um, ARM of the Clenis brings down another GOP presidential hopeful. It’s like the Curse of the Bambino or something.
Usual Suspect, Amused Observer, Dennis, SFC, et al please help us here! Stand by the fax machine for the talking points. We don’t know what to think about this yet!
Except that it remains good news for McCain.
There is no place in government for honest people.
You mean to tell me you can’t hear the Fox announcer “Straight Up with Sarah” the new hard hitting show premiering soon on FOX!”
There is no place in government for honest people.
Good thing we’re not talking about any.
Fox will probably offer her a HUGE contract. She would get the biggest ratings they have seen yet.
When asked why they liked her so much, her fawning acolytes used all the key words to describe a daytime tv show host persona.
Look out Beck, O reilly and Hannity, sarah is coming to whoop your out-of-shape, lower 48 asses.! She would, too.
You go, Sarah. Cash in now, honey. Cash in! (mountain song style) Maybe she could make a workout DVD. Running with Sarah.
She does have a nice body after having 4 or five kids, that much is true.
I bet the Vanity Fair article was the final one to really get under her skin.
Hi guys. I was just over at RedState. Did I miss anything?
Seriously, though, the commenters over there are in total denial. They’re trying very hard to convince themselves that this is all a clever strategic move.
If she can’t handle the media criticism, then how did she expect to deal with being VP? Make critical journalists “disappear”, Salvadoran-style?
All that she has done with this move is to make herself even more suitable for tabloid fodder than before. Without the media attention on her, she is nothing. It’s like a cheerleader wanting to be liked for her “school spirit”, rather than her looks.
Get ready for the new narrative of “Sarah the Media Martyr”, who resigned to save us all!
Props also to SaveFarris for a funny comment.
Seriously, I should go over there and tell them you guys are all fappin’ away over here. Spanky Jaim is probably going for his one day record and the night’s still young.
You guys just yesterday were all saying you hoped she ran in 2012. Now you’re in ecstasy that it looks like she’s not.
One of those was true, but they can’t both be.
Sore loser.
What was that Bruce Willis “Die Hard” catchphrase again?
Back in the 70’s, I became a teacher. When I realized that I wasn’t any good at it, I decided it was in everyone’s best interest that I quit.
If Palin has come to the same conclusion professionally, I could relate, and my opinion of her would increase.
But I at least finished out the year.
Don’t feel like I’ve lost anything, Quibbie, but w/e you say.
I’m just glad to see you guys are capable of having your spirits uplifted occasionally.
It’s the Sarah Palin Giuliani Florida Strategy.
‘Seriously, I should go over there and tell them you guys are all fappin’ away over here.’
No kidding; it’s not like it’s news or anything.
Dennis as much as we wanted her to run, there was no way in hell would that happen. She has been toast politically since the election. Tainted goods. Old news. Everyone knew it but her and her gushing fanboys.
If she is actually planning to run in 12 then she is dumber than I ever could have imagined by just walking away from her job because people dare criticize her. What a lame excuse.
‘You guys just yesterday were all saying you hoped she ran in 2012. Now you’re in ecstasy that it looks like she’s not.
One of those was true, but they can’t both be.’
Sure they can; I would have loved to see her run….and fail massively AGAIN; but after this Monty Pythonesque announcement, she’s still dishing out laughs like nobody’s business.
You betcha, Wink Wink.
‘But I at least finished out the year.’
I don’t think we’ve seen the last of her, in one capacity or another.
The FOX reality show ‘Pallin’ with Palin’ seems like a natural.
Scary thought just hit me: She might be getting ready to replace Michael “Puppy Love” Steele as chairman of the RNC.
Please…P-P-P-P-PLEEEEZZE let it be so!!
Jeezus Cheese. Has anyone listened to her farewell speech? What a mess. She has totally bottomed out. This is a full bore mental meltdown and temper tantrum all in one. Shrill baby shrill!
Oh I cannot WAIT to see what Stewart and Colbert do with this.
Dennis, I think what you’re interpreting as relief may actually be schaudenfreude approaching critical mass.
On that note, because my morbid curiosity won’t leave me alone, over to Free Republic I go.
Let me reconfirm my sincere support of Republican Sarah Palin to win the Republican nomination for President.
Palin / Steele 2012 !!
Okay, was it me or was Sarah on the verge of hysteria?
Breathless, rambling and about to jump out of her skin–grab the kids and scream for Todd to keep up as she ran for the storm cellar.
Not that many months ago Sarah Palin was the Ice Queen coming to the lower 48 to save America from the Commie-Pinko hordes.
Then – then – she started talking – the Ice melted, the Queen’s crown became a Dunces Cap and now – even in her Ice Castle of Alaska – her gig has given up its last gasp.
Failed Governor, failed mother, failed VP candidate – what to do? Why not try for President – everyone likes a good Vaudeville routine – like they say – there’s one born every minute.
Right this very minute, Mark Levin is frantically trying to spin this to Palin’s – and the GOP’s – advantage.
Nice try, schmuck!
Remember when Republican Palin was ready to start a war with Russia over the Republic of Georgia?
yeah, good times…
You guys just yesterday were all saying you hoped she ran in 2012. Now you’re in ecstasy that it looks like she’s not.
One of those was true, but they can’t both be.
Uhm, why not? This really isn’t a dichotomy.
But really Dennis, chalk this one up to Palin’s ability to constantly surprise us with her stupidity and need for drama. Running for President in 2012 seemed like a possibility so it was something we were hoping for. Political self-immolation, abandoning the people of Alaska half-way through her term when she has no other serious political experience, giving a speech so bad it makes Nixon’s Checkers speech look like the Gettysberg Address, we never dared dream.
But let me second that I really hope she runs for President in 2012, then she won’t even have the credential of ‘4 year Governor of Alaska’. She’ll just have the title ‘Quitter’.
A speech fragment that every “Rocky Horror” fan knows from memory:
“I have never been a quitter. To leave office before one’s term is completed is abhorrent to every instinct in my body. But as [governor] I must put the interests of [Alaska] first. [Alaska] needs a full-time [governor]…”
Replace “governor” with “president” and “Alaska” with “America.” Now, who made the original quote, and what was the occasion?
More information on “grassroots” supporters gathering across the nation to support Sarah Palin for President in 2012 can be found online at http://www.palin4pres2012.com
Note, the website is in danger of crashing due to the flood of readers and supporters signing up to show their interest in a Palin Candidacy. The GOP establishment had better watch out, Sarah Palin and Ron Paul combined with the power of the internet will remove the stranglehold of GOP special interests and the elites who have brought the party to its knees in defeat in the 2008 elections.
I’m surprised no one else has come up with the following:
“CUT ‘N’ RUN SALLY!
And Ron, it WAS Palin and her grassroots supporters that brought the GOP to its knees in 2008. So, blow it out yer ass.
!
Palin/Paul 2012 !!
Let the revolution begin!
Sarah Palin and Ron Paul combined with the power of the internet will
remove the stranglehold of GOP special interests and the elites who have brought the party to its knees in defeat in the 2008 elections.unleash the batshit insane pseudo-libertarian wing of conservative politics that will earn the GOP the skepticism of the electorate for a generation.You’re welcome!
Also: Yes, please! A discourse from Ms. Palin on “fiat money” ought to be priceless!
Perhaps this is Republican Sarah Palin’s strategeric plot to secede from the US and become the President of Alaska?
Ron–I believe her supporters may have to nominate Sarah from her cell in federal prison. Embezzlement scandal involving Sarah, her free house on the lake and the company she gave a bid to build the Wasilla Sports Complex might be coming down the pike.
It seems her house has the same windows, same wood, same materials as the complex. Sarah said Todd and some friends built the house.
Allegedly. . . .
Here’s how Les Kinsolving (of World Nut Daily) is spinning this story: Palin is being victimized by all those evil people who filed ethics complaints…he says there should be a “national apology” to the Palins.
If that’s the case, Lester, WHY DID THE BITCH CUT AND RUN INSTEAD OF STANDING HER GROUND?
Forget Palin/Please give these insurance-whipped Dem Senators a piece of your mind.

Woah. Hey, nobody likes Palin but don’t call her that.
Todd Palin can now grow a mullet again.
So she decides not to seek re-election. OK. But to not even then finish out the term she was in?
And is he going to take a stand and affect change by NOT doing those things during her lame duck time? By showing folks how it SHOULD be done and setting a new precendent for her successors?
Of course not. In Palin-world you take a stand and effect change by quitting.
Iceberg?
Liberal media, oh, no!
Scandal?
Clap if you support Sarah Palin! CLAP LOUDER!!!
Speculation?
Leave Sarah Palin alooooone!
!
Embezzlement?
Oh, my!
Woah. Hey, nobody likes Palin but don’t call her that.
Well, OW won’t let us use the word that more accurately describes Palin…so I had to settle for that one.
Keep it coming NR. Can’t wait for her Twitter statement that I keep hearing about, if that’s even true.
Pretty courageous of her to resign on Hannity’s day off. What’s up with that.
From the NY Daily News comments page:
There once was a girl named Palin
Whose novelty quickly was failin’
So like Nixon (the sh*t)
She decided to quit
Now watch for the Playboy unveilin’!

Republican Sarah Palin [channeling Captain Renault]: ‘Captain Renault: I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!’
It appears that Sarah Pain may have been taking house building advice from Republican convict Ted Stevens.
?
Rumors.
Just rumors, nothing to see here, move along now…
“Not that many months ago Sarah Palin was the Ice Queen coming to the lower 48 to save America from the Commie-Pinko hordes.”
Unfortunately she failed.
I’m going to do Dennis a favor here and actually give Palin some credit: there has to be a scandal here, because giving up a governorship is about the dumbest thing you can do if you want to be president. Remember last year when there was chatter about how strange it was to have so many Senators running for president? That’s because senators usually have a hard time getting elected. Reagan, Clinton, Bush II — Americans generally like to elect governors more than they do senators.
What tactical advantage could possibly come from giving up a governorship 3 and 1/2 years before the next presidency? (Or effectively, 1 and 1/2 years before the real campaigning begins?)
Either Caribou Barbie is about the get busted for an affair, for embezzlement, or she is truly a dumb, moronic human being. Take you pick, Dennis, Amused Observer, Jay.
Jindal/Limbaugh 2012!
Of all the events in recent days – demonstrations in Iran, the death of Michael Jackson, troops leaving Iraq – this one best falls under “Frank’s 14 Day Rule”: Give this story 14 days before speculating.
Judging by the comments, there can’t be more than one or two of you that are right.
I will venture this : If I were the Governor of a state, and a big scandal were looming (unless it involved my children) I would never leave that office before it “broke”, because I would want the “power of the Incumbency” to fight its worst effects when it hit the headlines.
To sum up : Either — there is no looming scandal of any consequence; a scandal involving one of her children is on the horizon; or she is the worst strategist ever.
Every Presidential candidate should see Godfathers I, II , and III before Election Day, and take copious notes.
So either there is a scandal about to drop, and something bad enough that would land her in impeachment hearings, or she’s simply a) not tough enough for politics (can’t hack being a governor, who would ever want her as president?) or b) incredibly selfish and self-serving as she moves on to make big bucks with a talk-show or some such.
Either way, it’s win-win for Dems yet again.
Feels good to be alive, I tell ya. I feel like flying to Argentina and dancing the tango!
The Orange Satan is spreading Scandalous Rumors!
Oh, My!
Liberal piranhas nipping at the Baracuda’s high heels!
This is who they really are…..
Huffinton Post Celebrates Palin’s Resignation with Retard Jokes
Somewhere in a Canadian basement, CS Strowbridge is smiling, because Lewis Black gave retard jokes the thumbs up sign.
Somewhere in S. Korea, Jaim is wanking.
Somewhere, God only knows, News Reference is in a state of ecstatic delirium.
Retard jokes about a year old baby. Yes, America, it’s come to this.
Shorter Dennis: WAH! WAH! WAHHHHHHHHH!
Although I agree the HuffPo piece should have been pulled (as it was).
But the HuffPo piece won’t make up for the colossal FAIL that was Sarah Palin and everyone who supported her.
So Dennis, what do you think the scandal is going to be about? An affair? Bristol is pregnant again? Embezzlement? I’d love to have your expert opinion on this one.
You’re the expert at speculation, Jaim. I’ll leave that to you.
And go wash those hands, dude. Creeps me out just to read your writing knowing what was on the keyboard from where those letters came.
Wow, real zinger there.
Have you found a job yet? Still unemployable?
What?? Where did you read that one, Jaim? Or did you just make that up out of your own sick obsession about Sarah Palin’s children. I guess you feel like legally it’s ok because she’s 18 years old that you can fantasize about her sex life.
Your supervisor really should know what you print here, for his student’s and their parents sake, Jaim. I’m serious about that.
“…you can fantasize about her sex life,” sneers Dennis, who just imagined jaim wanking and told him to “wash your hands.”
Eeeewwww.
Dennis, unemployed people shouldn’t be giving professional advice. But good luck with your job search.
“Not that many months ago Sarah Palin was the Ice Queen coming to the lower 48 to save America from the Commie-Pinko hordes.”
Unfortunately she failed.
What the f*ck do you mean by “unfortunately?”
Bruce, you only have to read his writing to know what’s going on there. It doesn’t take any kind of imagination.
“Feels good to be alive, I tell ya. I feel like flying to Argentina and dancing the tango!”
“An affair? Bristol is pregnant again?”
“Jesus. This is the death of the GOP. OMG!”
“LOL. LOL. LOL.”
—–
Those are his contributions thus far. Draw your own conclusions as to what his favorite pasttime is, Bruce.
Motes and beams, dude.
Anyone who witnessed her announcement yesterday can only conclude that no matter the rationale behind her decision, Palin remains one of the most disastrously inept figures to emerge in US politics since Ross Perot or Ralph Nader.
There is no longer any reason to defend this woman; she has proven all those who found her immensely unsuited for VP to have correctly judged her wanting in a host of areas.
This only confirms that she would make an ideal candidate for a FOX talk show.
I suggest ‘Failin’ with Palin’ will follow FOX News Sunday and will be a ratings bonanza for those who like their information both vapid and tasteless.
Palin’s move puts yet more pressure on Obama to finally get some results, as the soaring rhetoric isn’t hypnotizing the plebes like it used to. This week Helen Thomas, Colin Powell, and Warren Buffet all turned on him. Polls are looking droopy for The One lately.
Obama’s porkulus program is a train wreck, all it’s done is bump interest rates and tank the dollar. We are being laughed at by bad guys like Tehran, Pyongyang, and Al Qaida who amazingly turned-down Barack’s friend-requests.
Palin could trounce him in 2012, when Americans would vote for the Gipper-in-Heels in drones- while begging for lower taxes, free enterpise, and a defense posture with some backbone- and an end to the radical, anti-American nightmare we’ve got now.
Go get ‘em Sarah-
Palin’s move puts yet more pressure on Obama to finally get some results
The parody. It burns.
Vapid and tasteless, jrfunk?
So far on this thread the word ‘Fail’ has been used a total of nine times- ‘Fail’ a word largely confined to teenagers on MySpace. Why the weird popularity here is anyone’s guess. There are a total of 59 exclamation points, enough to give any English teacher a coronary. Jaim, teacher of English as a Second Language, is responsible for a disproportionate share, oddly enough. You have every rumor imaginable printed here by the notorious News Ref, you have someone calling SP a bitch,(he admittedly opted for that word in lieu of the C word), and as I’ve already pointed out, Jaim’s continued fascination with Palin’s sex life and that of her daughter.
Tell me just how many of the 80 or so posts by the humanity- loving liberals here would you say displayed an example of how not to be vapid and tasteless?
ANGRY DENNIS SMASH WHEN HE HAVE NO ARGUMENT TO MAKE!!!!!!!!!!
Add all caps and another 10 exclamation points to the vapidity toll, jrfunk.
Add all caps and another 10 exclamation points to the vapidity toll, jrfunk.
The ever-deft conservative mind does not know when it is being mocked.
I was under the impression that Dwmocratics didn’t care about shady land deals? Why the hullabaloo?
I was under the impression that Dwmocratics didn’t care about shady land deals?
I was under the impression that a $65M, multi-year, open ended investigation of the Clinton’s real estate transactions came up with ZIP, NADA, ZILCH, NIL.
Of course you can’t “prove” a negative, but the failure of all that effort to identify a single example criminal conduct is pretty close to absolute proof that the Clintons did nothing wrong in Whitewater. So I’m sure that’s not what you were talking about.
What WERE you talking about?
Shorter Dennis
I was under the impression that Dwmocratics didn’t care about shady land deals?
Only if there’s no substance to the allegations.
Eau contraire, Mr. “Quelle Surprise!”. The ever-deft conservative mind DOES know when it is being mocked. The ever-deft conservative mind knows that when Jaim is typing, Jaim is mocking.
And Repack, who the heck says “Quelle’ anything? Do you use that phrase with your moving buddies?
Mover: “Hey, Repack, this piano won’t fit through the door.”
R. Rider: “Quelle Surprise! You forgot to take off the piano legs.”
Mover: “Wha’d you call me again, MF-er?”
Hmmmm. Tell that to these poor souls, RR.

Ok, ok, Repack, to be fair, you did say “pretty close to absolute truth”.
My bad.
Well we’re a classy bunch here aren’t we?
Quaker,
I remember a bit of moral righteouness on your part regarding the great condemnation of Letterman’s slut remarks by liberals in general although here on this site I can only remember 1 or 2 negative comments regarding Dave. So what the hell Michelle’s looks ought to be fair game but at least she’s not running on the retard platform via Kos.
Jaim,
You seem to get quite a thrill out of unemployment, these must be good times since unemployment has gone up more than 20% since that jug eared Chi town hustler took over. But you have a lot of gall chiding someone over not being employed. You couldn’t hack it here in the states and by your own admission were forced to take a job overseas. I’m sure Dennis will be gainfully employed in the states long before you are able to find a decent job in your native land. All that time spent in school earning the easiest degrees possible, wasted on the American job market. English as a second language in a place where the biggest single qualification is a set of round eyes. My son taught ESL in China for a while. He was there for the thrill after getting out of the service not because he was forced there by failure in the States. He ended up quitting and setting up a private tutoring service because the money was so much better. But I disgress, this isn’t about a success story like my boy. It’s all about a loser in a foriegn land trying to one up an American in America. So the next you look around in a crowd and think to your self What am I doing here, remember it’s because you couldn’t hack it at home.
Repack,
I think of you living in that fair city on the hill above the Bay living in a state of grace and tolerance. An envioronment where aging hippies relive thier glory days and put off the reality of growing up or growing old. A place where men in black leather and studs suck each other’s penis’s and piss all over one another. I recommend some of the photo essays at zombietime.com for a close look at Repack’s hometown at it’s most picturesque, tolerant, and perverse. No Repack that’s not how normal Americans live. We live much more mundane lives.
So the overwhelming majority here are beside themselves with elation at this strange turn of events. I have no idea what is going on, Frank’s 14 day rule will probably prove to be the most prudent course. Few politicians have had to endure as many low course assaults as Sarah Palin has. She has accomplished much and done it herself. She is representative of what is good in this country and many Americans like both her and what she stands for.
Turnabout is fair play it is said. Why not take off the gloves and act like a liberal? I’ve seen people here consider Michelle Obama as some sort of glamour girl and fashion plate. Are you kidding? She has a frontal brow larger than Arnold’s and his was shaped by steroids.
Why is Obama such a liar? He’s lied about his church, his grandma, the campaign money he’d use, closing Gitmo, healthcare, taxes, gays, and the list goes on. But a more vital question than why is Obama such a liar is why do you rubes believe him?
Well we’re a classy bunch here aren’t we?
yes, you’ve chosen to comment here with the usual gang of idiots, what does that say about you, AO?
Jesus, AO, have you ever been to San Francisco?
And by the way, your comment about the first lady was utterly repulsive. You have no room to lecture anyone about class or decency. That isn’t turnabout. Turnabout would be focusing on her inability to speak clearly (which you can’t do, because she can speak clearly) or her uncomfortable relationship to the truth (which you can’t do, because you can’t point out a a lie).
You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
Dennis: “Eau contraire, Mr. “Quelle Surprise!”.
That would be “AU contraire,” (eau is water) and “Qu’elle surprise.” And I thought MY French sucked.
And Repack, who the heck says “Quelle’ anything? Do you use that phrase with your moving buddies?
No. More likely to use it with my brother, Cornell grad with a minor in French. What’s it to ya?
Mover: “Hey, Repack, this piano won’t fit through the door.”
R. Rider: “Quelle Surprise! You forgot to take off the piano legs.”
Statistically, about one person in ten thousand can do what I do. My skills are rarer than psychiatry, law, or banking, and that’s why I make a ridiculous hourly that compares favorably to all of those even though you deride me as a mere blue-collar worker.
My job can’t be sent to Pakistan or done by a computer, I own the company so I can’t be fired, and the world will not run out of pianos in my lifetime, so my employment is as safe as any and a lot safer than psychiatry or the practice of law. Your derision is a bummer until I get to the bank.
Piano moving is a great job, but it’s not the only thing I have ever done. I had a book published, I published my own magazine and worked as an editor for others, and then of course there is the bike thing and the rock band roadying thing.
What the hell do YOU do, or have you ever done that I should be impressed by it, or that I should respect your opinion on what I choose to do?
AO, I am gainfully employed. Longer than Jaim has been alive, with not one gap in employment save for a week once I afforded my self switching firms. I just choose not to answer Jaim’s pleas asking exactly what it is I do because I know he hates conservatives, and his reason for his personal inquisitiveness carries no good intentions from him.
Or possibly it’s a mating call, I don’t know. Either way, no good comes out of answering him.
I didn’t deride your job moving pianos, RR, and it’s a lie to say I did. Bigger than the Whitewater lie you told above, but only so because you prefaced that with the “pretty close to absolute truth” qualifier. The one time before I’ve ever even mentioned your job I praised it, because I hate moving large items since I’ve only got a wife and young daughters who want nothing to do with it except for asking me to move stuff for them all the time. Even so, I gave you the perfect opening to do your usual boasting about yourself, so instead of thanking me, you choose slander me.
What is it with you guys and your love for character assassination?
And Repack, unlike quite a few here, I don’t knock any blue-collar workers. Not even Taco Bell employees, like the Sidwell Friends elitist Jaim loves to do. That’s why he loves to attack Sarah Palin so much; her background, education, speech patterns, and down-home honesty just don’t match his idea of what he believes a person should be like. From the safety of his offshore hideaway, those kind are only to be mocked as hillbilly scum.
Amused Orifice said the following gems:
Few politicians have had to endure as many low course assaults as Sarah Palin has. She has accomplished much and done it herself. She is representative of what is good in this country and many Americans like both her and what she stands for.
Ok, let the idiocy commence.
A few politicians might include Bill and HIlary Clinton and Obama. The things said about them by the mainstream press and the unhingned idiot wingnut bloggers and talk radio idiots was beyond paranoid, beyond vile.
Do you need an example, Amused Orifice?
Guess what real politicians do? They don’t worry about it. They do not go on TV whining about it. They don’t pick fights with late night TV hosts. In short, they IGNORE the criticisms. Not diva Sarah. She showed what a shallow, vain, self absorbed idiot she really is by responding to these things. It hurt her poor wittle feewings, awwwww. Too bad Sarah! It comes with the territory. Didn’t all her fawning drooling admirers call her ‘ tough, pitbull, barracuda’ and other strong descriptive words?
As it turned out, she’s a wimp. A quitter, a whiner. Totally in over her head.
And Amused Orifice continued… She is representative of what is good in this country and many Americans like both her and what she stands for.
Ah, so being a chronic liar, unethical, vindictive, spiteful, petty, and totally fucking clueless are good American values? Quitting your job midway because you don’t like what people say about you is a good American value? Being proud of being ignorant and uninformed are good America values?
Man, you wingnuts just don’t know when to quit do you? Who else can try and spin this into a positive for her, but that is exactly what wingnuttia is trying to do in this instance. Palin quits job, abandoning her sworn duty to the state of Alaska, because bloggers are mean and now this means she will be a greater force for political change. What?
And people wonder why the GOP is a broken, useless machine.
AO: I recommend some of the photo essays at zombietime.com for a close look at Repack’s hometown at it’s most picturesque, tolerant, and perverse.
AO can’t find anything to say, so he makes assumptions about me and then bases a rant on those incorrect assumptions.
My home town is Mill Valley, California, population about 10,000, and my 89 year old widowed mom still lives in the house she and my (late) dad owned when I was born 63 years ago. I remain married to my first and only wife after 23 years. I have never lived in San Francisco, and trust me, wherever you live, men do that thing with each other there too.
The latest turn of events seems to have brought out the hysterical best in our wingnut brethren.
Nobody who so passionately supports a lady who said of Barack Obama that he “thinks its okay to pal around with terrorists” should be too quick to bandy about charges of “character assassination.”
I do have to say, though, that “quelle surprise” is correct Freedom-speak, Repack.
[A lie] Bigger than the Whitewater lie you told above
I said that a long and expensive investigation failed to turn up any criminal behavior on the part of the Clintons WRT to Whitewater (or anything else). If you disagree, please provide examples of criminal charges brought against the Clintons for their part in Whitewater.
Sarah Palin … her … down-home honesty
I think you mean “down home truthiness”.
Here’s what you actually wrote, Repack:
“I was under the impression that a $65M, multi-year, open ended investigation of the Clinton’s real estate transactions came up with ZIP, NADA, ZILCH, NIL,.
Of course you can’t “prove” a negative, but the failure of all that effort to identify a single example criminal conduct is pretty close to absolute proof that the Clintons did nothing wrong in Whitewater.” [bold mine]
Maybe another example of cute wording on your part, Clintonian might be a more apt description, but what you said and what you claim you said seem to be at odds with one another.
Parthenon,
Looks have been attacked before and quite often. I feel like taking off the gloves and acting like a liberal today. And what is repulsive about my comment?
Seriously check out the bone structure underneath those artfully shaped eyebrows, it looks like steroid city.
Of course you can’t help the looks you’re born with but I feel like a Kossack today. Shame and common decency has never stopped those guys, and I’ve never heard you voice any concern over thier tactics. And what pray tell is really the difference between attacking someone’s looks or thier ability to speak clearly in a fashion you find appropriate. The slickest talkers are often the least aquainted with the truth. Society generally doesn’t hold either used car salesman or politicians in high esteem. I find jug eared socialists to be extremely unappealing.
I’ve been to Frisco several times. Go to Zombietime.com and check out some of his disgusting photoessays on what you can get away with in broad daylight in front of uniformed San Fran police on the public streets of San Fransico.
Dennis,
I stand corrected on the subject of your employment. I am certainly not surprised. However my disparaging remarks directed in Jaim’s direction still stand.
I think Repacks’s niche is a good idea and he should get kudos for finding and exploiting that niche. But it ain’t rocket science or particularly difficult. It’s slow motion rigging, dollies, blankets and brawn. The skillset is not rare, I and a million other guys like me, could do the same with a well groomed sheetrock stocking crew and a relatively small amount of gear. Every once in a while you need to rent the services of a crane. Repack’s greatest achievement is identifying and exploiting the niche, not the actual piano moving. But remember we’re talking about the inventor of the mountain bike. Not all those kids on stingrays or the bmx bikes they spawned, but the one and only Repack. LOL, sort of like Al Gore and the internet.
And I see what I believe is another obsessed Canadian making another lame assed observation. What Jr.Funk fails to realize is all three of his examples have succeeded in the private sector and achieved at least some of thier political goals. Palin may or may not grace the national stage again but she has accomplished a great deal politically in a relatively short time even if you completely disregard her elavation into national politics by McCain. Perot and Nader accomplished thier primary goals of being spoilers of more powerful candidates which they felt were out of touch with the ideals they professed to represent.
I could go on but I feel my bile subsiding and am going forth on this Independance Day to honor what liberals despise, the genious of our founding fathers, our Constitution, freedom, liberty, and independence.
Well I wasted some time reading some of the nuttier wingnut websites this morning…hooo boy they are freakin out to lunch on this one.
It’s turned into a cult movement, the cult of Sarah. Sarah is good and divine. What she says is always true. Sarah is one of us, she’s like just me. She understands me. Some people say bad things about Sarah, but they dont know her like we do. She is good and right and just and anyone who says different is full of hate and rage and jealously. They are afraid of Sarah. Sarah is unconventional, she’ll show ‘em. She’s not a quitter. She just plays a different game then those elites do.
And they believe it, they believe every word.
They see this as some brilliant strategy that will be able to stop Obama and his socialist communist black panther take over of the country.
It would be kind of sad if it wasn’t so damn funny. “Oh, don’t count her out yet, she’s a fighter…”
Yea, and fighters just walk away in the middle of the game because they don’t like what someone in the crowd has written on his sign.
Amused Observer,
Excellent posts today. Every conservative should be allowed one day out of the year to act like a liberal, I agree. As to Repack’s piano moving ability, my hat’s still off for having that kind of patience. This from a guy who just screwed up hanging a screened-in-porch door- cutting in the grooves for the hinges, screws in the right spots, leveled right…everything. Screw it, I’m calling the handyman. Time to pop open up some Corona’s, put on some Martina McBride ‘Let Freedon Ring’ and Lee Greenwod ‘Proud to be an American’ and chill out by the pool. Thanks for the posts, AO.
But it ain’t rocket science or particularly difficult. It’s slow motion rigging, dollies, blankets and brawn. The skillset is not rare, I and a million other guys like me, could do the same with a well groomed sheetrock stocking crew and a relatively small amount of gear.
If it was that easy you would think a few more people would line up to make $100+/hr, but for some reason I have no competition. I move items with a flawless finish, costing as much as my house and weighing up to half a ton or more, in residences that cost as much as a hundred times what my house did (e.g. Andre Agassi’s house, he was fascinated by the process), and I take the responsibility for both. It requires strength, off-the-chart spatial relationship ability, and cojones. Especially the latter.
If it was easy, people wouldn’t pay me so much to do it and anyone could have the job. As we say in the business, easy jobs pay minimum wage, and that’s why we make the big bucks.
The slickest talkers are often the least aquainted with the truth.
There’s a slight difference between being a “slick talker” and being coherent.
A place where men in black leather and studs suck each other’s penis’s and piss all over one another.
Translation: “Those stupid Cali-forn-ai-ans don’t kill their faggerts like us red-blooded Amuricans! What pussies!”
Turnabout is fair play it is said
That only works if you didn’t throw down the gauntlet first, which you did on September 12, 2001.
Or possibly it’s a mating call, I don’t know. Either way, no good comes out of answering him.
Translation: “Why are these damn faggerts always trying to suck my dick?”
Don’t worry, Dennis, no one wants to suck your dick. No one.
Bullshit Repack,
Your genius is the niche not the skillset. 5-8’s @ 100.00 per is good money but it’s not unabtainable by any means for a guy running his own show. I doubt you’re getting a straight 40, 4 weeks a month. If you’re getting 100/manhour you’re making quite a bit more but I imagine if you were netting another few hun an hour you’d be bragging on it cause that’s the way you roll.
You’ve got good insurance, a little bit of gear and probably a few good core guys on your crew. But the rest of it, maybe you can impress a bunch of cubicle guys who can’t change a light bulb or thier own oil. The world is full of blue collar guys who do fairly amazing things on a routine basis. Those guys are a bit harder sell.
My hat’s off to you for your niche identification and you’re right about it taking some balls. But the rest of it, you’re blowing a little smoke. Now I foolishly came back into the house and hadn’t turned off the computer. I am so out of here, Happy 4th, even to you!
Oh good! I was hoping that Amused Observer would show up. And he didn’t disappoint. An incoherent, rambling screed full of assumptions. Seriously, how do your randomly choose someone’s home town? Did Repack Rider once make an off hand comment about San Francisco? But apparently Amused Observer judges people based upon where they live. This is telling in more ways than one:
Amused Observer: A place where men in black leather and studs suck each other’s penis’s and piss all over one another.
Interesting that your mind goes there. You brought this up completely out of the blue. No one else had mentioned San Francisco and it in no way relates to this thread.
Your little screeds here put Palin to shame, she’s not bringing the crazy like you are. Maybe she could hire you as a speech writer.
Let’s just call him Assumed Observer from now on, shall we?
Don’t forget AO, Repacks playing with someone ELSES piano!
It isn’t like he is a naval aviatior landing his own precious hide on a deck, or a surgeon for whom a false move may lead to someones death or personal disability.
Cojones, when playing with someone elses expensive gimcracks don’t really have to be that large…..
AO “I could go on but I feel my bile subsiding and am going forth on this Independance (sick) Day to honor what liberals despise…”
hot dogs? They’ll provide you with some additional bile till your next spleen vomit.
Hey, why the pile-on today of all days, ‘wingers. Shouldn’t you be out thanking our brave men and women in uniform?
Well, perhaps Gov. Palin can find fulfilling, productive work as a community organizer.
So the right wing loses one of it’s less stable cult leaders through self-immolation…
… and instead of accepting reality, right wingers blame the left.
“Burn” is unfortunately correct.
Much of the far right wing has degenerated into a sick, self-destructive cult.
Incorrect: [San Francisco is a] place where men in black leather and studs suck each other’s penis’s and piss all over one another.
penises = more than one penis
penis’s = belonging to a singular penis
Correct: [San Francisco is a] place where, sometimes, men in black leather and studs suck each other’s penises and piss all over one another.
Correct: [San Francisco is a] place where, upon occasion, a man in black leather and studs will suck another man’s penis’s glans and shaft.
God bless America!
God bless America!
Indeed.
Felix wins.
This has been such an amazing thread. The wing-nuts won’t say a single word to either defend Palin or explain her bizarre behavior — is she mentally unstable? or just a quitter? or about to receive a Federal indictment?
No, it’s all about a) Bill Clinton b) Americans who have the gall to travel or work abroad and c) LIBRULS ARE SO MEAN STOP ATTACKING SARAH!
Pretty clear you guys are majorly fucked for 2012. And pretty sure Dennis is still unemployed since he won’t even tell us what he does for a living.
Nice job, Dennis and AO. Although I’m sad Jay hasn’t shown up to make it the crazy-fuckwit-trifecta that I’ve grown to adore here.
And as an aside, if the posters here are such awful, terrible people, here’s a question for unemployed Dennis and 90-year-old AO: Why do you spend so much time and comment so prolifically here?
Oh my, Felix is quite the editor. Perhaps others will benefit from his expertise as much as I have.
Repack,
You speak of moving pianos in the Bay area, my mistake to have assumed you live there.
Quaker,
As I look back over the posts in this thread I see some of your peers are extremely course. Now you were at one time suggesting that the liberal consensus was that Palin slut jokes were out of line. I only remember one guy saying something to that effect, Rotter. Now I only see Mike stepping up to encourage a little bit of decency.
What a wormy bunch you are, the antithesis of yesterday’s holiday. I wonder how much damage the Republic will suffer before the pendulum swings.
Oh dear, wing-nuts lecturing us about how “course” we are.
It’s good to know AO started a vigorous letter-writing campaign that time when John McCain suggested that Chelsea Clinton was the ugly daughter of Bill Clinton and Janet Reno.
You guys are unbelievable.
But happy 4th of July anyways. Let’s be thankful that the GOP is no longer damaging our country as of now, and let’s be vigilant that we never let them damage it again. If they want to become the regional southern party of elderly white males who hate blacks and Jews and Mexicans, by all means let them do so. Because it’s pretty clear that’s the direction they’re going in, and America is better off because of this.
God bless you Mark Sanford. God bless you Sarah “Quitacuda” Palin.
Jaim,
All though you vote absentee, we are at least blessed by your presence in Korea. I’m not sure what they did to deserve you but it must have been bad.
Take your Geritol and your Alzheimers meds, AO. I’d hate for your dementia to get any worse.
That said, honest question: Why do you think Palin quit? Because liberals were too “course” for her?
Assumed Observer: my mistake to have assumed
From your posts here it seems you assume a lot of things about a lot of people.
I’m not sure what they did to deserve you but it must have been bad.
Maybe they “where(sic) [...] black leather and studs suck each other’s penis’s(sic) and piss all over one another.” I don’t know, I’ve never been so it’d be wrong of me to assume.
AO obviously studied English with Sarah Palin.
Oh Jaim, the gall is not simply traveling or working abroad. The gall is to claim you couldn’t find a good job in America because of Bush’s economy so you moved abroad to find a job, then blogging about how little money you make, and then posting on here mocking half the American population, people who are working, paying taxes, helping their communities and raising families just because you think they are too stupid to agree with your views. That’s called being anti-American, Jaim. That’s what takes a lot of gall.
Now you say you did it for the experience, when originally it was because you gave up on trying to find a good job here. You gave up on America. Then you mock Sarah Palin for being a quitter. That’s where the gall comes in with you, Jaim. Not just the traveling and working abroad.
Go to her website and see how many exclamation points she used in her farewell address, and her use of all caps. Then go back over your posts just in this thread alone and count the same with yours, Jaim.
Let me know the results you came up with and then let’s do a compare and contrast, Mr. Grammar Nazi.
Working? You don’t even have a job, Dennis. We’ve been over this before. And I wish you’d do a better job of being my stalker — you accuse me of saying things I’ve never said. FWIW, I’m really happy in my work and professional life these days. You should try getting a job — you’d be surprised at the sense of self-worth you might discover, instead of your obvious self-loathing.
“Go to her website and see how many exclamation points she used in her farewell address, and her use of all caps.”
Someone cleaned up her trainwreck of a speech. Even as it stands though, it’s terrible English by anyone’s standards. But we already knew she wasn’t much of a speaker. She’s obviously not much of a writer, either.
But I’d still love to hear an answer to my question: Why do you think she quit? She couldn’t hack it? Possible scandal? Taking a lucrative job at FOX?
Dennis, you criticize the punctuation of the liberals in this comment thread (it’s a comment threat for christ’s sake, perhaps slightly different standards apply then for a publicly elected official) but I’ve yet to hear you criticize Assumed Observer’s posts.
When you read through that screed and thoroughly critique in then we’ll take your grammar lessons to heart.
Ha! Dennis! I just did a little check Dennis, the two Red State threads about Sarah Palin’s announcement, both of which have fewer comments than this one, both have over 100 exclamation points! This one only has 95 as of this moment! So maybe you should go over to Red State and let them know how inappropriate it is to use exclamation points! Unseemly really!
It is a blatant lie on you part to claim that you never said you went to Korea for a job because you couldn’t find a good enough job here in the States due to Bush’s economy. You said exactly that very thing.
You’ve also stated categorically that you would assume I didn’t have a job until I told you what it is that I do, so you admitted you have no evidence I don’t have one, you just decided to make it up as a taunt. You don’t even have a decent reason just why it is you have this burning obsession to know what I do, or why it matters.
Just because you tell everyone here your personal information as it relates to the state of politics doesn’t mean everyone else has too. It’s not ‘I showed you mine, now you show me yours’, like you try to pull on your students, Teacher-san.
MOH, I don’t much care about grammatical or spelling errors or anything of the such, to be honest. I make a ton of mistakes. It’s just when Grammar Nazi’s like Jaim get defensive over being thoroughly trounced on here and then resort to comebacks about grammar, I remind him he’s hardly one to talk, especially since it’s his profession. Big difference. Especially when he compared AO’s to Sarah Palin’s. Since an a-hole even bigger than Jaim, namely Paul Begala, decided to write an article about her use of the exclamation point and all caps and since Jaim ejaculated both of those on this thread so much, I thought I’d simply remind him of his comparison to Ms. Palin, not only in grammar, but also in his being a quitter.
Your first comment here in this thread was about exclamation points. You brought them up, not anyone else, as if it proved… something? Quickly, fly over to Red State and let them know of the dangers of exclamation points plaguing our nation’s comment threads!
MOH, That wasn’t my first comment but the one you were referring to was a response to jrfunkenstein’s comment about Sarah Palin and Fox viewers who like their information both vapid and tasteless. I pointed out several examples to him of vapidity and tastelessness in this thread alone with the use of exclamation points being just one of them, at least as it pertains to vapidity. Again, he charge came from someone else about conservatives, that same recurring theme from you guys about the typical Palin supporter and Fox News watcher being dumb hicks that elitist liberals think is such a winner. I rarely even look at Redstate, only if something is linked to a story there, and I’ve never posted there. Never been interested in the echo chamber thing, so about the last thing I would do is sign up there and start being a grammar Nazi. Maybe you should give it a try.
‘Palin’s move puts yet more pressure on Obama to finally get some results, as the soaring rhetoric isn’t hypnotizing the plebes like it used to.’
Oh you can believe he’s terrified; nothing like an opposition party Governor abandoning her post to make a President feel threatened.
You can’t seriously believe that.
‘Palin could trounce him in 2012…’
Would that be with or without Elvis as her campaign manager?
‘Tell me just how many of the 80 or so posts by the humanity- loving liberals here would you say displayed an example of how not to be vapid and tasteless?’
Compared to Palin?
All of them.
‘Add all caps and another 10 exclamation points to the vapidity toll, jrfunk.’
Man, this really has you guys flustered, doesn’t it?
‘What is it with you guys and your love for character assassination?’
You’re kidding right? After hearing for years now that Obama is a Muslim, a terrorist, isn’t even an American, you want to talk about character assassination?
C’mon now.
‘And I see what I believe is another obsessed Canadian making another lame assed observation. What Jr.Funk fails to realize is all three of his examples have succeeded in the private sector and achieved at least some of thier political goals.’
WTF does that prove, you lame assed, arrogant American?
‘Perot and Nader accomplished thier primary goals of being spoilers of more powerful candidates which they felt were out of touch with the ideals they professed to represent’
So their PRIMARY goals were to be spoilers, not to WIN the election?
That’s just ridiculous.
‘I could go on but I feel my bile subsiding and am going forth on this Independance Day to honor what liberals despise, the genious of our founding fathers, our Constitution, freedom, liberty, and independence.’
Now that’s just insane.
‘Amused Observer,
Excellent posts today’
Dios mio.
LOL,
The vermin are restless this morning.
Jaim,
You are beyond clueless. You could figure out roughly how old I am if you had any reading comprehension skills, but you don’t. Your taunting people based on their state of employment is almost pitiful. You had the gumption to do what it took to get gainful employment for yourself, I’ll give you that. But if we’re going to be taunting people about their employment let’s not forget why you had to leave. You couldn’t hack it in the States.
Jr.Funk,
What is with you America obsessed liberal Canucks? Your little brother to the north penis envy thing is pretty funny. Arrogent American, damn right. Coming from common stock we have accomplished orders of magnitude more than you guys. Perhaps it is the stronger French influence that has resulted in such a weak track record.
We dominate your country by every metric possible save hockey. We don’t pay much attention to Canada, you’re generally well behaved and not that important to us in our day to day lives. Yours is a weak country that lives under the umbrella of our defense. We pick up the freight.
We seized our freedom and liberty from the most powerful nation on earth with blood. You didn’t. While we were free you were subjects. Your self determination was given to you.
But thanks to the internet you can be a virtual American and pontificate on our politics. You’re a child sitting at the grown up’s table amusing them with your precociousness. Your thoughts regarding Perot and Nader illustrate the depth of your knowledge of our body politic. So mind your manners and don’t sass your betters.
Ay Dios mio, AO!
Another scorcher.
I feel that a Scandal is the most likely explanation for this but I did fall for “baby-gate” so I am forcing myself to withhold judgment until the real motives for this revealed.
Canada … employment … exclamation points … = 12 days to go
Now you were at one time suggesting that the liberal consensus was that Palin slut jokes were out of line.
You might want to go back and review. I believe my remarks were in regard to defense of Mr. Letterman. Related, but not the same thing.
And I believe the word you wanted was “coarse” not “course.”
‘Jr.Funk,
What is with you America obsessed liberal Canucks?’
I’m not obsessed, I’m interested. In the same way I’m interested in Amercian TV, film, sports and history.
What’s your fucking problem with that?
‘We dominate your country by every metric possible save hockey.’
Really?
How’s your economy lately?
You know, you remind me of all the blockheaded, jerkoff jocks in High School who couldn’t wait to brag about feeling up their girlfriends and how many times they got laid, even though everyone knew they were lying their asses off; in short, they were pinheads clearly compensating for their presumably shrunken dicks by acting like they were God’s gift to womamkind.
Canada is your biggest trading partner and we share the world’s largest unprotected border with the US, but clowns like you still insist on ‘dominating’ us, as though you believe you’re in a contest to prove who’s ‘better.’
Here’s a newsflash for you; the world doesn’t begin and end in the good ol’ US of A.
Being interested in what goes on south of our border might seem like ‘obsession’ to you, but like Pierre Trudeau once said;
‘Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt.’
Keep on gruntin’ baby.
‘Yours is a weak country that lives under the umbrella of our defense. We pick up the freight.’
Really?
Is that why Canada entered World Wars 1 and 2 YEARS before you?
‘But thanks to the internet you can be a virtual American and pontificate on our politics. You’re a child sitting at the grown up’s table amusing them with your precociousness.’
Is that why all of your rants are prefaced with insults and tantrums? Because you’re so ‘adult?’
Repeatedly acting like a petulant, puerile teenager is a poor position from which to label anyone else childlike.
Canada is in much better shape right now that the US is after eight years of Bush The Lesser.
It’s just mind-boggling how the nutter trolls here play to stereotypes: OTHER COUNTRIES BAD! LIVING ABROAD BAD! ME RACIST AND HATE BLACK PEOPLE GOOD!
I think it’s been three times now, but I’ll ask for a fourth: Why do you think Sarah Palin quit? a) She can’t hack politics. b) She’s fucking insane. c) We’ve got a scandal about to come out.
ZOMG U LIVE IN KOREA!
Just wanted to get Dennis’ response out of the way for starters.
And here, here’s AO’s:
I’M 80, NOT 90 ZOMG!
And here, here’s Jay’s:
I’M NOT A REPUBLICAN I JUST PLAY ONE IN REAL LIFE!
You’re all welcome in advance.
LOL Jaim,
We are in a bit of a economic jam at the moment and can still buy and sell Canada with the change in our pockets. I don’t really have much against Canada as long as they don’t send thier deranged liberals down south to whine and complain. I think it’s funny they blather on and on about politics they can’t effect.
There is nothing wrong with living abroad Jaim. I’ve done it myself as has my boy. I’m just calling you a liar for changing your story on your reasons for doing so. You’re living abroad because you couldn’t hack it here in the states. Educated past your potential you can’t get steady work. Failure, loser, maybe just unlucky.
Where do you get hate black people Jaim? I have no patience for their whining and resent their over representation in our crime statistics.
I dislike the white guilt tripping liberals who have dismembered our rule of law to provide quotas and a lowering of standards in an effort to include blacks in areas where they are unwilling to do the work to qualify on their own merits. But I do find the hypocrisy amusing about blacks crying racism and then staunchly defending affirmative action. But I don’t hate black people Jaim.
I have no idea why Palin quit. She’s taken so much shit from the left it boggles the mind. What we have witnessed again are the politics of personal destruction. We’ll drive the good people out that way. Sad, I’m getting to where I don’t care. I’m willing to take up the tactics of the left and roll in the dirt, take a few scalps.
Sarah Palin is an impressive gal who is pretty damn smart and pretty damn normal. She is a regular person, that’s what is cool about AK. Normal people do impressive stuff. They are a much more hardy breed up there. A throwback to an America that wasn’t ruled by a nanny state. Where people can still take care of themselves.
JRFunk,
The Canada that fought in ww2 is not the Canada of today. You hid under our umbrella for the duration of the cold war and it emasculated your defense system. I don’t have much against Canada other than their sanctimonius attitude, it’s you I don’t care for. But I do look upon Canada as a lesser country for not following our example and getting your freedom and Liberty from England.
Your elephant metaphor about sums it up, if we roll over wrong we’ll squash you like a bug.
“Where do you get hate black people Jaim? I have no patience for their whining and resent their over representation in our crime statistics.”
Um, yeah. Thanks for making your bigotry clear for all to see AO.
It’s pretty late in the states right now. I hope you’ve been given your meds and had your diaper changed.
“Sarah Palin is an impressive gal who is pretty damn smart and pretty damn normal.”
She’s also a quitter. And she lives in a multi-million dollar home that is far from “normal.” And she stole over 200K dollars worth of clothing from the RNC and hasn’t paid for it yet. Normal people don’t do this.
And AO, I’d love to see you spend five minutes with Canadians who are serving in Afghanistan as we speak. They’d kick your sorry, elderly ass to the ground if they felt like it. Canadians tend to be pretty nice folks though, so they’d probably just ask you to kindly go fuck yourself.
Let’s see: blacks, Canadians, hispanics, gays, women. Is there any demographic you don’t hate?
Best wishes for 2012,
Jaim
Did anyone ever hear that Bristol’s baby is ‘really’ Sarah’s baby? That it was a cover-up when Sarah had that affair with her husband’s co-worker??? Bristol is pretending to be the mother to cover for her mom’s affair/pregnancy?
Plz let me know if anyone else has ever heard this speculation!
‘We are in a bit of a economic jam at the moment and can still buy and sell Canada with the change in our pockets. ‘
Too bad we don’t accept Chinese currency up here.
‘I think it’s funny they blather on and on about politics they can’t effect. ‘
Kinda like Sarah Palin huh?
‘Where do you get hate black people Jaim? I have no patience for their whining and resent their over representation in our crime statistics.’
Holy fucking irony Batman.
‘JRFunk,
The Canada that fought in ww2 is not the Canada of today. You hid under our umbrella for the duration of the cold war and it emasculated your defense system.’
Riiiighhhhtttt; that’s why Ike was pissing his pants after Canada developed the Avro Arrow, the most technologically advanced tactial fighter jet of its time.
‘I don’t have much against Canada other than their sanctimonius attitude,’
Look who’s talking.
‘it’s you I don’t care for’
As if I give a shit.
‘Your elephant metaphor about sums it up, if we roll over wrong we’ll squash you like a bug.’
It was Trudeau’s metaphor genius; and clowns like you already tried it. It was called the War of 1812.
Grunt grunt grunt.
Where do you get hate black people Jaim? I have no patience for their whining and resent their over representation in our crime statistics.
I’m begging you, AO. Leave me a little room. How can I imply racism on your part when you wear it so proudly?
You’ll have to excuse AO, jr. He’s of the Bushite persuasion that believes our allies exist only to act as our servants.
Quaker,
That’s not racism
yep Funk,
If you keep going back in history you’ll find Canada’s glory. 1812, we were just a fledgling then. The Brits kept kidnapping our sailors and we called bullshit. We had a few wins and a few losses early on. The Brits burned DC and then we dug in our heels and defeated them. We got a song out of the deal, maybe you’ve heard it. We play it mostly before ballgames.
Then our Navy destroyed the Brit fleet and the Redcoats retreated deep into your country. But the battle on the sea wasn’t only on the lakes. Our Navy wasn’t much but a couple guys did well. You ever hear of man named John Paul Jones? He was a ballsy charactor, full of fight.
It was our great fortune to harness the power of private enterprise. That was our ace in the hole. Our sailors and fishermen got rich seizing British ships around the world.
The Brits gave up their agressive ways and both sides retired to Europe to work out a peace treaty. Communications being what they were, the word didn’t get to Andy Jackson. He went down the Missippi and killed Redcoats till the rifle barrels turned red. The war was over by then but we didn’t know. We killed them anyhow. Britain never did a damn thing about it. We got a song out of that one too.
Britain finally put the squeeze on Napolean and we bought up the French holdings on the cheap. But that’s another story.
So what else did you want to discuss about the War of 1812? The Canucks were bit players but at least they escaped death in New Orleans.
It was our great fortune to harness the power of private enterprise. That was our ace in the hole. Our sailors and fishermen got rich seizing British ships around the world.
Privateering is not one of the more admirable examples of private enterprise, AO. If you want to extoll the virtues of capitalsim, cheering piracy might not be the best way to go.
‘Sarah Palin is an impressive gal who is pretty damn smart and pretty damn normal. ‘
If you actually believe that, you’re welcome to her unique brand of intelligence and normality.
Someone running for VP who can’t name a SINGLE newspaper she reads and has the most dysfunctional family this side of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre can really use your support.
‘You’ll have to excuse AO, jr.’
Quake, it’s really more a case of finding him very, very sad.
‘Quaker,
That’s not racism’
Yeah, it is.
‘If you keep going back in history you’ll find Canada’s glory’
You really are just nuts, aren’t you?
‘It was our great fortune to harness the power of private enterprise. That was our ace in the hole. Our sailors and fishermen got rich seizing British ships around the world.’
Wow, a nation built on piracy; you must be so proud.
Jaim, can you back either of those two charges up? Multi-million dollar home?
Stole the clothes and hasn’t paid for them?
Quaker in a Basement, can you back these up, since you’ve posted after Jaim has without mentioning them. You never let minute points that may be incorrect slide when a conservative does it, such as Monica Lewinsky not technically being an intern at the time of her banging by the President. But these two are unbelievably inaccurate, so much that I’m sure you knew it when you read it. It’s not your responsibility to correct mistakes, but you’re very quick to do so when a conservative does it just on a technicality.
Quaker,
It was a dandy way to quickly create and mobilize an effective means of projecting naval force globaly for a young country without a large standing navy. It takes time and treasure to build a navy. We had insufficient amounts of either.
England was trampling upon our liberty and would have continued to do so if unopposed. Appeasement seldom solves anything as history has shown us time and time again.
You are making up facts when you infer that privateers in the war of 1812 were pirates. After posting a bond enterprising patriots were issued a license to act as a free ranging instrument of American policy on a global basis.
As a pacifist you may find the idea of actually standing up for freedom and liberty as less then “honorable”. We are fortunate that historically attitudes like that have been in the minority.
Just HOW is her family the most dysfunctional family this sid of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, jrfunkentstein?
Certainly that kind of a descriptive you could come up with more than a teenage pregnancy, which doesn’t necessarily make a family dysfunctional. really, what are you talking about? Was your family less ‘dysfunctional’ than hers, so much that you consider hers a freak show?
That’s a bullshit comment, jrfunk.
Jr.Funk,
Quite proud of the country, than you. Your statement regarding this nation as being built by piracy are false. Perhaps it is nuts to try and find glory in Canada’s past. You have been helpful from time to time, and for that we are grateful. 1812 was not one of those times. You were on the wrong side of history on that one. Luckily for your country we are not a vindictive nation.
Of coarse Jr.Funks statements are bullshit, he has an almost unbroken streak in that regard. And even Quaker couldn’t possibly keep up with Jaim. True, Quaker is a selective hairsplitter but he doesn’t profess to be a non partisan.
Good points, all. I just thought that even being a non-partisan and a hairsplitter, that when the whoppers get thrown out from his side he might feel at least the occasional responsibility to say something for the good of the team’s reputation.
Britain finally put the squeeze on Napolean and we bought up the French holdings on the cheap.
We got two songs out of that — ABBA and “Stonewall” Jackson…
That should be of course JrFunk statements are bullshit.
‘Just HOW is her family the most dysfunctional family this sid of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, jrfunkentstein?’
You’re right; they ARE the future GOP poster family.
‘You have been helpful from time to time, and for that we are grateful. ‘
People like you certainly are not.
‘Luckily for your country we are not a vindictive nation.’
I’m sure Iraqis everywhere feel the same way.
Big difference between the two, jrfunkenstein.
How are they a dysfunctional family?
Pretty simple question. You can even skip the Texas Chainsaw Massacre qualifier if you want to. Just tell me how you think they are dysfunctional.
England was trampling upon our liberty and would have continued to do so if unopposed.
How was England trampling colonial liberty, AO?
