Some say . . . some say that Rush Limbaugh is the leader of the GOP, but Sarah Palin has taken her rightful place as the real leader of the Republicans.
Now THERE is a future for Sarah Palin. Poetry- She can be misunderstood for the rest of her life and be considered avante garde when her no one understands her words.
Get ready for the ACORN -> Shatner flow chart on Beck
Awesome.
I continue to marvel at Oliver’s obsession with everything and anything Palin.
It’s starting to get a little creeeeepy, dude.
The fear and loathing of the citizen Sarah Palin.
Ain’t that America.
Ahoy, two for the ready when Palin plans to build her movement on resentment and victim status.
Yeah, its like Sarah Palin’s on my TV 24-7. But I’m obsessed.
How can we miss her when she won’t go away?
The concern trolls are concerned.
Shorter Dennis
Aw, shucks, Oliver, we know you hate writing about citizen Sarah Palin and racial issues.
You’d much rather be talking about almost anything else relating to politics. We know that.
[...] Oliver Willis [...]
I’ve kind of asked you this before, Dennis, but never got anything close to an answer: do you go on other blogs and offer up such tedious meta-blog commentary (”I know you’re talking about this to avoid talking about that…” “Why are you outraged about this when you’re not outraged about that…”) or is there something special about Oliver & his guests that brings this out in you?
C’mon, Willl-burrrr, you’re making me think I’m striking a chord here or something.
Boy, Willl-burrrr(Good one Dennis!) is really trying to get to the head of the Oliver class isn’t he?
Quieter Willll-burrrrr…………………………
You know why Palin is so much damn fun to write about? Because she is the single greatest political flameout story in recent memory. I cannot remember any politician who was introduced to the national stage with such flair and ‘wow’ factor, only to see her charm and appeal fade like a snowbunny melting in the spring once it became apparent that she is one clueless twit.
But boy, she could sure rile up those bitter rednecks at McCain rallies!
Stay tuned, Burned. There’s a big one a-brewin’ right now that all but the blind 29 per-centers are just now starting to catch wind of.
I’ll bet he can also make coherent sentences sound like Sarah Palin speeches. Shatner in 2012.
C’mon Wilbur, they just lack the ability to formulate logical conclusions, not the information needed to make those formulations.
Or it could be an ongoing secret to violently murder parody and irony in one fell swoop.
GarySeven–While Shatner could certainly liven up a dull Election, he’s still Canada-born, and ineligible for the Presidency.
And, after the last few, only a fool in California would vote for another Actor to be governor—the last 2 ended up complete wastes (both Rethugs, both SoCal’ers, Reagan and Schwarzenegger)
“I continue to marvel at Oliver’s obsession with everything and anything Palin.
It’s starting to get a little creeeeepy, dude.”
Really Joaquin? Nice little website you have devoted to Obama. A little obsessed are we? Secret crush maybe? Creeeeepy dude….
Shatner in 2012.
This is relevant to my interests.
A little obsessed are we? Secret crush maybe? Creeeeepy dude….
And then I clicked through the link to Joaquin’s blog. ROFLMAO.
Joaquin, you have a blog called “How’s That Obama Vote Working Out For You?” That’s it. Obama is in the freakin title of your blog!!!
And you think Oliver is “obsessed” with Palin?
One thing you can never accuse wingnuts of: self-awareness. They are simply incapable of it.
C’mon, Willl-burrrr…
Boy, Willl-burrrr(Good one Dennis!)
HA! I c wot u did ther!
Fucking children…
Stay tuned, Burned. There’s a big one a-brewin’ right now that all but the blind 29 per-centers are just now starting to catch wind of.
Here’s a comment to save for posterity and later mirth and mocking.
There’s a big one a-brewin’ right now that all but the blind 29 per-centers are just now starting to catch wind of.
O rlly? Lynne cheney or Meghan McCain?
Gee Dennis, I cannot imagine who you are referring to? Wanna give me a hint?
Clue for ya, Burned….“I supported him. I voted for him. I will not again.”
I like that woman. She’s prettier than Sarah Palin, too. And I like that statement…kinda reminds me of the Patrick Henry declaration at the reenactment in the church where it took place that I go see every summer. I can see her making that statement up on a podium in 2012 at the Republican convention. I hope someone smart is working on that right now.
Shatner in 2012.
Well, it would have to be sort of a campaign revival..
Clue for ya, Burned….“I supported him. I voted for him. I will not again.”
Erin Esurance?
Oh Joey and Fafaroo, you can’t see parody even when it stares you in the face. 2 bad!
Okay, I just turned off my Ad blocker so I could watch it. Even with the genius that is haiku- Shatner, it’s still blathering bullshit.
Makes me miss elder statesmen like Dan Quayle.
That woman will always be speaking in front of the pageant judges.
Joaquin is still under the delusion that conservatives can do teh funny.
C’mon, Willl-burrrr, you’re making me think I’m striking a chord here or something.
I notice you’re still too busy to answer my question. You wouldn’t be avoiding that question, would you? The way you’re descending to puerile name lames makes me think there’s almost anything you’d rather talk about.
Boy, Willl-burrrr(Good one Dennis!)
Except that it makes Dennis into Mister Ed.
I wonder if Rush Limbaugh tapes string to his lips to make him talk, too? Or ties string to his fingers here, I guess.
Sorry, Dennis – easy target, snarky mood. I’ll do better next time. Would you like some cake?
KC
… once it became apparent that she is one clueless twit.
Stay tuned, Burned. There’s a big one a-brewin’ right now that all but the blind 29 per-centers are just now starting to catch wind of.
What, you mean there’s another clueless twit a-brewin’ on the horizon? Oh boy!
Except that it makes Dennis into Mister Ed.
Which makes it singularly inappropriate since it was Mister Ed’s mouth end that did the talking.
Mister Ed used to post here, actually, KC. Don’t know what happened to him but I sorta suspect he changed his name to Indeed.
KC, Duros, and Willll-burrrrr need better material.
When I want your opinion, joaquin, I’ll give it to you.
BAM!
And I only vaguely remember Mister Ed. Now there are two.
KC
WOW! Eye-popping originality, KC
Didn’t mean to avoid you, Wilbur, it’s just that I don’t know what meta-blog commentary is. The short answer is rarely, but I used to post at another liberal blog, and yeah, there was one guy who used to use big words there too and he liked to accuse me of the tu quoque thing you’re referring to.
The short answer is rarely, but I used to post at another liberal blog…
Thanks, Dennis, that wasn’t so hard, was it?
Now, have you ever considered performing the same service at a right-wing blog?
Willll-buurrrr.
Well, time to hit the hay.
Oh I forgot. I ate it.
Would you like some cake?
KC
CAKE OR DEATH?!
The short answer is rarely, but I used to post at another liberal blog…..
Until they got REALLY bored with me and banned me.
Always bores me, Wilbur.
Nope, Duros. Still get emails from good friends I made there, people I would call really good friends actually, asking me to come back. Funny thing, in four years no one there ever called me a racist, at least, not until Obama became the frontrunner and a bunch of Obamabots showed up there calling nearly everyone that who didn’t fall in love with him.
I’m not remotely interested in writing about race until GOPers make it an issue. I love writing about Palin. She’s a mess. She’s the Lohan of politics but much more of a mistake.
What bores you, right-wing blogs?
Oh Joey and Fafaroo, you can’t see parody even when it stares you in the face. 2 bad!
Like I said, a total lack of self-awareness.
“Stay tuned, Burned. There’s a big one a-brewin’ right now that all but the blind 29 per-centers are just now starting to catch wind of”
29 per-centers? hmmmI don’t think liberals are that much of the electorate-YET-21 pct is a a more accurate, while 40 pct is conservative, just liberals are more loud-mouthed and vocal in their views.
“What, you mean there’s another clueless twit a-brewin’ on the horizon? Oh boy!”
You are right, there maybe another Obama on the horizon, but you never know for sure.
“You know why Palin is so much damn fun to write about?”
I know why Burn, because people like you, who post under a USER name are gutless pussies who like to slander people you don’t like. But if you had to say it to their face, man you would crap in your pants.
“Stay tuned, Burned. There’s a big one a-brewin’ right now that all but the blind 29 per-centers are just now starting to catch wind of”
29 per-centers? Isn’t that the latest number who STILL support Obama’s health care plan, according to Rasmussen Reports. Rasmussen Reports was no.1 pollster for 2008 election.
I know why Burn, because people like you, who post under a UZZZzzzzzzzzz……..
…according to Rasmussen Reports. Rasmussen Reports was no.1 pollzzzzzzzzz……
Watch out, Dennis, looks like the right-wing bloggers have tracked you down and are determined to bore you to death here!
Wilbur,
I know why you got bored with that users posts? You CAN”T read more than two sentences at one time-BUT no one is perfect. I noticed in your rant there was no rebuttal to his posts. Maybe the person was-EFFECTIVE?
Watch out, Dennis, looks like the right-wing bloggers have tracked you down and are determined to bore you to death here!
Nah, they’re some of my golf buddies I asked to come on here and spice things up for you guys. You all seem a little down these past couple of weeks and I’m trying to spark some life into you. You guys are acting like Republicans are running the show again.
Okay, Dennis, but the next time you invite your friends on here do you think you could invite the smarter ones?
Still get emails from good friends I made there, people I would call really good friends actually, asking me to come back.
I call. Prove it.
hmmmI don’t think liberals are that much of the electorate-YET-21 pct is a a more accurate, while 40 pct is conservative, just liberals are more loud-mouthed and vocal in their views.
Scoreboard, Jethro.
Lissen up, Dennis, Joaquin and all of the Palin ass-kissers: YOUR HEROINE IS AN ABSOLUTE FUCKING DINGBAT, and all the hype in the universe can do nothing to change that. She’s the human equivalent of every train wreck in history. She gets so much attention because the average person just loves to see a train wreck. As a comedy diamond mine, she exists for entertainment purposes only. She will never…NEVER…hold a major political office, ’cause not even the GOP would be stupid enough to let her run.
As long as y’all feel compelled to defend “The Delicate Flower of Conservative Womanhood,” you won’t be happy, as you will be defending the stupid bitch for all eternity.
Palin has exceeded her level of incompetence. Learn to love it.
I know why Burn, because people like you, who post under a USER name are gutless pussies who like to slander people you don’t like. But if you had to say it to their face, man you would crap in your pants.
This is why I love the Palinites. They have thinner skin then their diva does.
They sure get upset when someone talks ill about their queen.
Oh well, like it matters anymore. She’s going to be remembered as being part of one of the worst national GOP tickets in recent memory. McPain-Failin’
What’s your email address?
“This is why I love the Palinites. They have thinner skin then their diva does.
They sure get upset when someone talks ill about their queen. ”
My feelings are hurt now that a leftist on an internet message board insulted. How will I make through the day because a leftist moron insulted me with lame, moronic rants?
Yeah, we’re being invaded by shocktroops from the Starburst Academy. Whatever will we do? Please don’t hurt us, Ensign Wingnut.
Randy Brown,
“Lissen up, Dennis, Joaquin and all of the Palin ass-kissers”
Man oh man that line and your overall rant about Palin is just too rich and lame. It couldn’t that those posters and other that disagree with you are-EFFECTIVE-could it?
Will-burrrr,
They are just expressing opinions and having fun here. I noticed you can’t offer any rebuttals to their posts other than insults.
So what do you guys like about Palin?
freD, I like the fact that Palin is no longer in public office, and will likely never again hold public office.
KarlC: “Effective”? Those who defend an absolute fucking dingbat could never be effective.
What’s your email address?
What, something you don’t want to share with the rest of the class?
So what do you guys like about Palin?
Yes, please to regale us with your insight as to what would make her such an effective head of government. Is it her wonderful oratory skills? Her razor-like grasp of the issues of the day? What is it that you like about her?
Honest questions. It would seem conservatives have nothing but criticisms of the opposition, but nothing of substance to offer.
What’s she got that Huckabee doesn’t? Thompson? LiddyDole?
Seems Jindal only got one chance. Was he too much of a Mr. Rodgers wontcha be my neighbor asshole?
Was Keyes too dark?
Was Sprankle too much of a nobody?
What’d Fiorina ever do to anybody?
Condi’s boots were made for running too. What’s wrong with Condi’s boots?
Does Jeb sound too hillbilly?
What about Krauthammer? That’s a cool sounding name isn’t it? Plus he’s got that FDR wheelchair/baron’s toymaker thing going on.
Is RonPaul too objectivist?
Is Romney too Mormon?
Is O’Reilly’s head too fat?
Is Drudge too ambivalent?
What’s Palin got that all these others don’t?
I screwed up. Krauthammer’s more like the baron’s childcatcher than his toymaker. My bad. You guys off work or typing up one hell of a list?
Randy Brown,
If you are responding to my posts earlier I must have hit a nerve somewhere and was EFFECTIVE. The fact that she gets on so many liberals and Dems nerves is a plus. Anyone who does that can’t be too bad IMHO. Most politicians who have resigned don’t have people who dislike them, talking about them-TWO days afterwards. Especially if they are ‘washed up’ and ‘finished’
“I like the fact that Palin is no longer in public office, and will likely never again hold public office.” Be careful for what you wish for, because you might get it and not like the results.
You guys ever seen a picture of O’Reilly with Coulter together? His head’s gotta be twice the size of hers. You can put Palin’s medium sized head on the list if you want.
The fact that she gets on so many liberals and Dems nerves is a plus.
Too bad that doesn’t win elections for ya.
What’s Palin got that all these others don’t?
The ability to arouse bitter impotent angry white men with small dicks and too many guns.
It had nothing to do with what is inside her head, because nothing is there.
They all just wanted to fuck her, and I understand why. Have you seen the average dittoheads wife, assuming they even got that far? Yeeeech.
You’d fantasize too if you had to wake up next to some frigid tub of guts every day.
Hey boys, why don’t you post some more about how you love Sarah? It really gets our goat and makes us ANGRY! Because we’re ANGRY LIBERALS!!! YEAHRRRRRRRRG!
That would be very EFFECTIVE.
Burn, you must be right. Hardly anybody goes after McCain. His family, his comments, his life after all that express straightalkin’ …nothing.
This is where McCain totally fucked up by picking Palin…she totally overshadowed him and she didn’t have the experiences or common sense or simple human grace to understand that she was picked to be VICE president, not president. No wonder Steve Schmidt couldn’t stand her; she knew goddamn well who was the candidate for pres, but her overblown infantile ego did everything it could to upstage him at every chance she got. She wanted her own farewell address? WTF? Who does she think she is?
The lack of discipline from that botched failure of a campaign was straight out of a high school musical.
The fact that she gets on so many liberals and Dems nerves is a plus.
About all Wingnutz care about is opposing the Reality Based. That’s it. That’s all. Pathetic.
Well, looks like I ruined the party.
Lesson learned: Never ask Palin supporters what they like about her. They’ll run and hide.
The fact that she gets on so many liberals and Dems nerves is a plus.
No, she doesn’t get on us liberals’ nerves. We pick on her because she’s an idiot…an idiot who still thinks she is taken seriously, despite massive evidence to the contrary.
Lesson learned: Never ask Palin supporters what they like about her. They’ll run and hide.
Palin supporters don’t know specifically what they like about her. They like her solely beacuse Rush, Hannity et.al. ORDERED THEM to like her. (”SIR, kissing Alaskan dingbat ass, SIR!!”)
Also, Palin is such a target-rich environment for ridicule…
‘C’mon, Willl-burrrr, you’re making me think I’m striking a chord here or something’
Yah; you and Palin have the same sense of self absorption and righteous inanity.
How long until you quit?
‘You are right, there maybe another Obama on the horizon, but you never know for sure.’
This from those who elevated Bush to mythical stature and find Palin relevant and profound?
Say hi to Elvis when he gets here.
One thread down, junior funky, if you don’t mind. A couple questions I asked earlier today of you about your gross inconsistencies in logic on the Gates race-baiting incident.
mmmmmm….Starbursts!
The fact that she gets on so many liberals and Dems nerves is a plus.
So… it’s a good thing that she people?
It’s beginning to dawn on me why Republicans have been losing elections lately…
I’ve got mixed feelings about Palin. On the one hand, like Ann Coulter, she’s simply a trainwreck of a human being that I wish would go away. So here’s me, wishing she’d go away, but the MSM continues to give her air-time (although hopefully less now that her quitting as governor is complete).
On the other hand, she can only damage the GOP in 2012. She can’t win the nomination (party big-wigs won’t allow it, IMO), but she can take up a hell of a lot of funding of oxygen (air-time), thus crippling whoever it is she’s running against (Romney probably, who’ll be getting shot in the back by the Palin-loving fundies to begin with).
So I’d like her to crawl under a rock like the cockroach she is, but that’s not my decision to make. She wants the spotlight, and she’ll get it. I guess I’ll just laugh all that much harder when Barack wins in a landslide reminiscent of Reagan vs. Mondale.
I can live with that.
Palin is certainly no intellectual juggernaut like Nancy Stretch Pelosi, or Barbara Boxer…or this woman from Florida…

Nancy Stretch Pelosi
Oh yay. you listen to Mark Levin. How utterly, utterly predictable.
The fact that she gets on so many liberals and Dems nerves is a plus.
The Atrios ‘annoy liberals’ principle in action.
Their entire strategy is “annoy liberals”. Which is fine for me. Better they annoy us with their stupidity than depress us by screwing up the country.
Good luck running on the theme that she deserves high office because she annoys liberals.
She wanted her own farewell address?
Finally. A reason she quit as governor that I can understand.
So here’s me, wishing she’d go away, but the MSM continues to give her air-time (although hopefully less now that her quitting as governor is complete).
I was just thinking; in her quitting speech she railed (again) about “that darned liberal media”. Wouldn’t it be great if the media simply refused to cover her from now on? I’m talking tv, cable, print, radio, internets, pony express, everybody. (Except Fox News of course, but we’ve already established that they are hardly media). Not even some shlub with a cell phone.
Hoist by her own petard, as they say. That would be justice.
Denny Crane for President!
