    Gosh you’re cynical. She just happens to be a woman I think. She looks like a nice person what would have great recipes.

    How long until a Kos kid calls Palin a “cunt worse than Hillary?” I laugh. I laugh.

    lol palin wont deliver the dry pussy brigade.
    they are gonna hate her just as much as the secretaries hate me at work.

  6. Comment by happyfeet on 8/29 @ 8:56 am #

    Palin doesn’t have to deliver anything though. She just has to communicate McCain’s message of Hope and Change. Oh and the part about drilling. That right there will bring in a bunch of votes just for the off-chance McCain maybe pays obeisance to the actuarial tables.

    Her husband appears to be a mensch. Cage match with Michelle anyone?

    Gotta agree with nishi on this one. It seems calcualted, as Jeff implies, and it won’t work, imo. He should have went with Gloria Steinem to get the old bints.

    So ANWR is back on the table.

    I love the smell of oil in the morning, smells like victory.

  12. Comment by Carin on 8/29 @ 8:59 am #

    I love the pick.

  13. Comment by happyfeet on 8/29 @ 8:59 am #

    Works way better than Huckabee or Romney would have. Plus it takes some of the focus off Cindy, who is one of those you only take in small doses.

  14. Comment by Carin on 8/29 @ 9:00 am #

    Of course it’s calculated. I’m just glad McCain is playing hardball.

    So now I can assume that the genius writer from Salon will have an article out today pointing out that if McCain/Palin loses the election, we’ll have to blame sexism. Right? Right?

    **crickets**

    Hello? Tap! Tap! Is this thing on?

    You’re right, Carin. It’s a good year to eschew organicity in VP selection. Lindsey understands, and this way he can have more gay sex without worrying so much people are watching.

    I think Palin will bring votes. My moderate cousin, who was leaning toward McCain? I think this sort of choice will bring her over.

  25. Comment by Jeff G. on 8/29 @ 9:06 am #

    Is being Alaskan close to being black? I mean, does this chick eat whale blubber and speak Inuit? Or at the very least, lilt in speech like Ed or Margaret from Northern Exposure?

    I love Duchovny, but he’s a Yale English major. So if there’s anything to Bloom’s Anxiety of Influence, David almost HAD to become a cynical ironist / sex-addicted lefty.

    But we can hold out hope. For growth. And Rapture.

    I WANT TO BELIEVE!

    Confirmed, ‘twould seem, though of course CNN can’t wait to drop the ostensible “Trooper-gate” smear, thudding it out there in Paragraph 5, then spending around 1/4 of the article on it.

    Don’t recall any such smear-mongering about MBNA, cancer lawsuits and Biden’s son when they announced him as O!’s nom nom nominee, but you know, bias and all that…

  35. Comment by Puck on 8/29 @ 9:15 am #

    It’s a *great* pick. Livens up the conservative base without scaring off the evangelicals (like Romney would have done). Puts some of the women for Hillary in play. Gives McCain a way to say, “Let’s drill in ANWR” — and not look like a total flip-flopper but a guy who got taught a thing or two by the nice lady who’s actually from Alaska, been to ANWR, and knows it’s a dump that won’t be badly affected by a couple of well-placed drills. And yes, the moose will be okay.

    But more fundamentally, it says that McCain is willing to listen to somebody who differs from him on some issues. She’s a credible, proven tax-cutter and has taken on “big oil”, which will play well among many. She’s worked and raised a family and is more of a “normal” person than Obama or Biden (thus also better than Romney). And really, she’s got no less actual foreign policy experience than Romney or Jindal, whom many people wanted to see on the other half of the ticket.

    This was a terrifically happy surprise. For the first time, I’m enthusiastic about supporting McCain.

  42. Comment by psycho... on 8/29 @ 9:21 am #

    I’m amazed he made the almost-least-worst choice — Olympian judgment, by McCain standards. And his looking past her apparent incorruptibility (though probably only far enough to see her vag) is plain freakish.

    ROVE!

    lol palin wont deliver the dry pussy brigade.

    He only needs two or three points of them, in less than a handful of states. Any woman gets him that many overall, and the type she is gets him the right ones (unless she suddenly gets way sexier — or crush-on-Palin dudes take her place in the media (which is how I’d do it if I were working for the other guy, which they are)).

    He’ll almost certainly blow it some other way, but this time, one time — not retarded.

    S/he’s right. The Lesbian Commiecrats will only hate her more….that said, she’s a great choice. Someone who will take one the eco-fiends and the global warming frauds.

    Identity tokenism? As long as she is not a RINO / sell-out, all the better. (cf. Clarence Thomas). Watch the lib media smears come on hard from the Commiecrat moles.

    look it is a dumb choice
    palin wont deliver the dry pussy brigade and she will turn off the prochoice wimmyns in droves.
    she cant run in 4 years cuz the adorable little mongoloid baby will be obviously Downs in 4 years
    very bad for photo opps.

  50. Comment by Roland THTG on 8/29 @ 9:28 am #

    It avoids the Mormon thing, and the “Two White Guys” thing.
    Lieberman would have sunk the battleship. Ridge is pro choice.
    The experience argument is a bit touchy for The Obama.
    Could attract some wymin, er womyn….whatever.
    Colon Bowel wouldn’t have accepted anyway. He’s a lib underneath.
    Jindal would have only been a token.
    Phred! was busy that day.

    That’s pretty far down the list with no check marks.

    The lady has outstanding reform credentials. This is a solid pick and Maverick’s introduction speech is going to be boffo.

  52. Comment by Carin on 8/29 @ 9:33 am #

    NOTHING would have brought the pro-choice (one issue) women voters. That is an idiotic criticism of a Republican VP choice. Idiotic.

    In addition, I have no idea who the dry pussy brigade is. I think it’s a figment of nishi’s imagination.

    think how palin as a choice will guilt and humiliate women that have actually made the choice to terminate a genetic anomaly.
    they will hate her…..she is flaunting it.
    many women will see this as a crude attempt at manipulation……which it is.

    “pro-family, pro-life, young and cute……and anti-abortion

    dur, a lot of wimmyns are gonna loathe her with fire of a thousand suns”

    That’s not a bug, it’s a feature. How delicious will it be to see the hags from NOW out screeching against the first woman with a credible chance at being Vice President and, if the prognosticators are right, President in four years? It will expose, for anyone with a shred of doubt left, that the “womyn’s movement” is just another group thumping the tub for the left-wing agenda, this group with a little FDS spritzed over it.

    I expected it would be Palin, and I’m delighted it is. Smart choice.

  73. Comment by Jeffersonian on 8/29 @ 9:46 am #

    In four years, nishi, Palin will have another quadrenniel of executive experience to add to her resume, this time in the White House. She’ll also have experience as President of the Senate that O! and Senator MBNA will be sent back to.

    The gnashing of teeth and the rending of flannel at NOW will make me so, so happy.

    how about the fact that she’s three years younger than !O! and still has more fucking executive experience in both the real world and in government.

    Is that enough, genius, or do we have to talk about her national governor’s board charmanships or that fact that she won several elections in one of the most male centric states in the union, the last one beating two fucking former governors from both parties. or ethics reform in Ted fucking Steven’s state or her environmental and energy creds or …

    Thor,

    What, I ask you, makes this four-eyed backwater bimbo qualified to be President if McCain suddenly acts his age and dies?

    That’s funny – she is running for Vice President with more actual experience than your party’s nominee for President. And you have the gall to bring up experience. What a joke.

    The funniest thing is that the more you imbeciles attack her qualifications for veep, the more the rest of america realizes that O! is not qualified for the main job.

    As to nishi – his comments really solidify what is so disgusting about the left. No thought, not logic, no arguments, just hate and anger spewing at all times, wrapped up in H.S. freshman writing style and prose.

    Oh and nishi? My cousin was pregnant with twins, one of whom was diagnosed with Downs. She had both daughters. Maggie is now 10 and she steals the heart of everyone she meets.

    So please kindly take your cold, evolutionary superman eugenics heart and fuck off.

    Last I saw, it still remained to be seen whether the lite-gubnor up there, Sean Parnell, will be running for Congress. Presumably that will be settled by the end of the GOP convention.

    I still think she’s not seasoned enough to justify this — it is exactly as Jeff says, identity politics in action, and extremely disappointing to see in a GOP presidential ticket.

    Then again, with McCain what can we expect?

  104. Comment by Mastiff on 8/29 @ 10:02 am #

    i have at least 2std in IQ on the rest of u “extra-chromosome jeebustards”

    I really shouldn’t, but I can’t resist. I happen to be extremely smart, I suspect smarter than you. And I’ve known a lot of other extremely smart people. As a class, we seem to divide into two cohorts:

    1. Those who use their talents to accomplish magnificent things.
    2. Those who get so used to skating through life that they never learn how to do real work, and are reduced to feeling superior to others on the basis of their wasted talent, lacking any real achievements to point to.

    I think we all know where you stand, Nishi. If you even are that smart to begin with, which, given your grammar, I doubt.

    What, I ask you, makes this four-eyed backwater bimbo qualified to be President if McCain suddenly acts his age and dies?

    Yet, by some odd confluence of the stars, Obama’s qualified to be President?

    You truly are a fucktard.

  106. Comment by Jeff G. on 8/29 @ 10:04 am #

    I don’t think she was chosen solely because she’s a woman. She was chosen because she’s a woman with more experience than the candidate the Dems are running for President.

    The “dry pussy brigade” is going to be steamed by that, is my guess. They’ll see her and think, that could have been Hillary. And suddenly “Bros before Hos” will meet the catty vindictiveness of the “womyns” voter bloc.

    Is how I guess the selection calculus went.

    “im just splainin to the IQ challenged here why it isnt going to deliver the dry pussy brigade.”

    They don’t need to be delivered. They just need to stay home and cry over Hillary. That will work well enough. This is about energizing the base annoyed by McCain’s RINO selling out.

    It was certainly a factor, but not the only one. She’s a demonstrated fiscal conservative with a track record of cleaning up corruption in her own party. She is a…ahem…maverick.

    A Maverick! And she’s nursing too!

    This is that “we’re fucked” moment that you’ve been waiting for.

    Oh and nishi? My cousin was pregnant with twins, one of whom was diagnosed with Downs. She had both daughters. Maggie is now 10 and she steals the heart of everyone she meets.

    So please kindly take your cold, evolutionary superman eugenics heart and fuck off.

    I posted on Vodkapundit that the Left was going to start hammering Palin for having Trig, for playing risky at an older age for having children. I thought it would be Olbermann playing the card. I guess Nishi couldn’t wait.

    Well, tweedle dumbass and tweedle more of a dumbass sure are acting their parts in this thread, aren’t they? That’s it? That’s the extent of their trolling?

    Somebody mentioned that all it will take is a few percentage points of the wymyns out there that they might not have gotten before to win this thing, and that’s a good point. So, the whole of the crazy feminist bint brigade isn’t needed at all, anyhow. Maybe a shrewd move.

  112. Comment by McGehee on 8/29 @ 10:09 am #

    Some of the comments here reflect what I expected people in Alaska to think of this:

    SO MUCH FOR HER COMMITMENT TO ALASKA

    Palin is a great Governor, don’t get me wrong. But if it wasn’t for Obama or Clinton being on the Democratic Presidential ticket, McCain would of picked a white old man. Palin is being used and we will suffer for it.

    And I thought she was doing so well. What a waste.

    Alaska hasn’t had a really good, really popular governor in decades.

    Let’s just be clear about the message that nishi is proclaiming here.

    I should look at my little cousin, 10 year old Maggie, and see a hideous freak of a mutation that never should have been born and would be, were she my daughter and I was running for office, so offensive and off putting as to cause me to lose votes from asshole fascists who think “mistakes” should be “eliminated.”

    truly naive of team mccain to think palin will deliver the womyn vote.
    hes already got the godbots.
    most women will resent palin.
    only evangelical wimmens will approve palin as a choice and mccain already had them.

    They’ll see her and think, that could have been Hillary. And suddenly “Bros before Hos” will meet the catty vindictiveness of the “womyns” voter bloc.

    dont think so, Jeff….they are going to resent both Palin and mccains crude attempt to manipulate them.

    Don’t feed it, BJ. I know you’re pissed and you have a right to be, but that’s the little thing’s intent. Nishi needs big government and she needs it badly. She’s a griefer that one day is going to pick the wrong target to grief. A target that may not be influenced by outmoded and outdated judeo-christian ethics. It’ll be a shame. An irony, but a shame.

    I agree that I would have preferred she remain governor for a while longer before he debut in national politics. I thought she, along with the governor of LA, would’ve made a formidable pair. I also agree that it is obviously identity politics at its finest, but that is really my least objection since I hope it will bring the reality of identity politics even more to the forefront and hopefully make some people see how destructive it is.

    The more you think about it, though, the more unassailable she becomes. You cannot attack her on experience or age unless you are willing to see the fallout attach it self to Obama. She certainly has the conservative bonifides, which are important to the purported base that McCain enjoys annoying.

    And, BTW.

    Now that my head has finally filled with blood (it takes at least an hour after I wake up, at my age), I renounce myself for my first comment.

    After watching Palin on the news shows, I think I am in love with her. She is awesome, and I can’t wait for her to take Loopy Joe apart when their debate.

    I spent a lot of time in Delaware, and have always thought that Biden is/was a flying asshole.

    And I have always thought that because he is.

    SEXIST!!!

    (Yeah, this is a dumb game, but we’re gonna play it anyway.)

    It’s nice that some of you remain hopeful, but I feel awfully screwed right now.

    I am shaking, I’m so angry. And incredibly scared.

    Pussies.

    I’m EVERY WOMAN!

    God, Oprah must be so conflicted. I sense many new eyelashes in her future. Plus a healthy dose of Dr Phil. And entire cheesecakes.

    Incidentally, nishi provided me with the caveat to the follow-up post. She says some provocative things, some hateful things, some sharp things, and some idiotic things.

    thor as well.

    I don’t like echo chambers, and, while I do wish they each wouldn’t try so hard, I value some of their occasional insights.

    She is an inauthentic womyn. An Aunt Tom.

    That’s aunt Toni, JD. (racist)

    For the record I was most definitely not apologizing to the hateful, despicable nishbot. I was apologizing to the rest of the thread for allowing that cold hearted, science worshiping, evolutionary trash talking, genocidal lunatic to piss me off.

    nishi, I’m begging you: Write the Obama campaign and ask them to make Palin’s Downs child a center piece of their Hillary outreach. Please!

    How would she feel if I told her she shouldn’t run for office because someone might print photos of her father when he was in the last stages of Parkinson’s? I would expect to be roundly condemned and rightly so. The utter lack of humanity and self awareness in what she writes just astounds me.

    BTW: I just talked to Maggie, nishi, and she sweetly agreed that you should fuck off.

    If the Nish-tard Mengele and Thor-of-the-pickled-liver are representative of lefties in general, they are extremely scared of Palin as a candidate.

    Please, please let the dems hammer her on the experience issue. And may all the elitist leftists attack children with Downs Syndrome and look down on motherhood. I personally guarantee that will deliver the swing states to Obama.

    Lulz!

  202. Comment by Carin on 8/29 @ 11:50 am #

    I would just prefer if they didn’t say such stupid things. I’m more than happy to have divergent thought here. I’d just prefer it was a tad more thoughtful. Coherent.

    Honestly, when was the last time either made a good point?

  203. Comment by Log Cabin on 8/29 @ 11:51 am #

    Rats, BJ! You beat my post by a minute. Great minds and all that…

  204. Comment by happyfeet on 8/29 @ 12:06 pm #

    I already messaged some of nishi’s comments to people on messenger today. They didn’t know about the Down syndrome baby and I thought that would be a nice way for them to learn.

  205. Comment by Andrew the Noisy on 8/29 @ 12:07 pm #

    Everything Blowjob Thor (strong like bull!) and She Who Does It For the Lulz are saying but confirms the fact that this is a strong pick. Which is to say, the counterattacks practically write themselves.

    If the best they can do is go after her kids and snark at the state she’s from, they have nothing.

    But their dry, knowing tone will doubtless prevail. Keep it up.

  206. Comment by Patrick Chester on 8/29 @ 12:07 pm #

    What are thor and nishi bringing to this thread? Why, the true face of the progressives in all it’s ugly pure distilled hatred.

    Which is likely why Jeff lets them post here. They utterly damn their little faction with every little sentence.

    It’s a lot of chaff to go through just to get to a single grain of wheat, though.

    Pablo, et. al.: Fark is on it already.

  209. Comment by Jeff G. on 8/29 @ 12:28 pm #

    For you guys, sure, Mikey NTH. But I sometimes get major post fodder out of it.

  210. Comment by McGehee on 8/29 @ 12:43 pm #

    She’ll beat some sense into you.

    I watched part of the rally in Ohio, listened to her speak. I hadn’t watched her in action before.

    I now see some of the reason why she’s so danged popular in Alaska (disappointed comments notwithstanding).

    Prediction: McCain gets a huge bounce from this announcement, contrasting sharply with Obama’s drop after the Biden pick.

    I can begin to imagine this election resulting from votes actually for the GOP ticket. And that sin’t hay.

  211. Comment by Mikey NTH on 8/29 @ 12:44 pm #

    Hmmm. I can see that. Using some of the more wild rhetorical flourishes to point out exactly what you meant.

    So they are sort of specimens that you poke with a stick every now and again to watch them jump around?

  212. Comment by Diana on 8/29 @ 12:49 pm #

    #210 … Yeah … don’t count her out. She’s got some major chops. Brass ones.

    Sorry Nishi, I know you speak bullshit.

    Comment by Pablo on 8/29 @ 10:33 am #

    Let’s make that $1000.00 and you’re on, thor.

    When you lose I have no faith that you’d pay off that amount so why don’t we make it $50 gift card to a t.b.a. selected retailer. I like eating at Cracker Barrel because it reminds me of dumb crackers. Does that sound agreeable to ya, Pablo “the Greek”?

  215. Comment by Diana on 8/29 @ 3:50 pm #

    Shut up, thor.

  216. Comment by Mikey NTH on 8/29 @ 4:26 pm #

    Then take him up on the offer, thor.
    It sounds like you would have plenty to crow about if he welshed* on the bet, and you’d be $1,000 to the good if he didn’t.

    If you win, that is.

    *Me being un-P.C.

  217. Comment by Mikey NTH on 8/29 @ 4:30 pm #

    And me? I don’t bet. I never have, because I don’t think I’d like having an ear full of cider.
    I am un-arrogant that way.

  218. Comment by cranky-d on 8/29 @ 4:34 pm #

    I bet tiny amounts. A dollar is good.

  219. Comment by Pablo on 8/29 @ 4:50 pm #

    How about we keep it at $1000.00 and have a third party hold the fundage and pay off the day after the election? Jeff or Dan is fine by me.

    Put of or shut up, finance boy.

  220. Comment by Pablo on 8/29 @ 4:58 pm #

    Thing is, there’s no Cracker Barrels in my hood, and I’m really not interested in thor’s pubic lice appendages. So, cash then.

  221. Comment by Pablo on 8/29 @ 7:11 pm #

    How about it, thor?

  222. Comment by Pablo on 8/29 @ 9:37 pm #

    Cat got your tongue, hammer boy?

  223. Comment by ThomasD on 8/29 @ 9:54 pm #

    Anyone ever had fresh off the boat King crab? Holy Mother of all thing edible, frozen is fine but there is just no comparison to fresh… I was in Seward back in August of 2001 and tried it for the first time. Been back to AK twice since then and managed to repeat the pleasure one more time, being seasonal and all. Spendy, but worth every penny.

    Spoken like a true lightweight.

    The boy’s no playa!!!

    I’ll cover a c-note a that Pablo.

  225. Comment by one MRE too many on 8/30 @ 9:49 am #

    ah yes. This blows up Jeff’s arguments about Dems being all about ‘indentity politics’. O, he admitted that!

    I’m with jeff on this one….back to the basement working out and thinking about my own little pot of paradise, and eschewing the watching of the Republicratic cartwheels.

    so what the hell, where do you see the differences in USA a year from now with either party in the White House? Gridlock, is my answer.

    what’s with the beehive hairdo though??? (now, that’s a substantive question.)

  226. Comment by Andrew the Noisy on 8/30 @ 12:13 pm #

    Gridlock, is my answer.

    And a reasonable one, except I think it far more likely with the GOP ticket than with the Sainted O! and Cottonmouth Joe. But gridlock has it’s upsides as well.

    For one, it’s hard to keep the rest of the Dinobots in line without him.

  227. Comment by Pablo on 8/30 @ 1:11 pm #

    I see drilling, and that ain’t a beehive.
