Via Hot Air headlines comes this report stating that the RNC will soon disclose how much it spent on Palin’s clothes and accessories, and that it’s far less than the amount–$150k–reported. Of course, whatever it amounts to, it’s also far less than what Obama paid for his Dork Temple.
That’s not interesting, but the comments reveal what kind of people make this their business to know:
Uh. . . at least some of the clothes she wore are still in her own possession, she wore them at the RGA, for her greta “interview” and on the stump for draft dodger saxby. Maybe that’s becasue “the campaign” is still going on, and will be until 2012.

They could have bought a house for as much money as they spent to clothe Sarah Palin for 4 weeks. This is excessive by any standards.
Cathyintexas | 12.03.08 07:20 PM
But but but… all the clothes have NOT been returned as Princess Sarah was wearing one of the outfits in question this week while campaigning for Saxby. And that was did not have anything to do with the RNC or the McCain campaign.
Clearly, Sarah is lying again and hasn’t returned the clothes that are to be “dispersed” to charity.

Funny that I have only read one article on the ‘money’ spent by liberal democrats on clothes for candidates, and female candidates spent on themselves. There were several of them and they haven’t turned in the clothes or reinbursed the campaign funds. The more the retarded liberals bitch the more truth comes out on their slimey ways. I remember a ‘personal’ trip to Hawaii on the campaign plane by the ‘chosen one’. How much did that cost the idiots supporting him? They’ll have a hard time gathering up the massive amount of jet fuel he consumed. But he did accomplish something, he visited his white grandma and she died a few days later. ‘Connection’, since she knew the truth about his birth?, And he couldn’t be bothered to attend her funeral.
Scrapiron | 12.03.08 11:32 PM
Can we safely assume that the RNC purchased $100,000 worth of white shirts and green ties for John McCain’s use during the campaign, and plans to donate those to the Salvation Army also?
hoppycalif | 12.04.08 12:09 AM
who cares????????????????????

So glad the hillbilly nutcase Neiman-Marxist was sent back to Alaska. Hope she stays there and keeps herself entertained by looking at Russia.
Save Democracy | 12.04.08 12:59 AM
Who cares? Can’t we focus on something more interesting then who bought what for Sarah Palin?
Diana | 12.04.08 01:48 AM
I can’t believe that anyone would begrudge spendin’ $330,000 on clothes and accessories on Sarah IMELDA Palin. Was she supposed to look like a bag lady, for Pete’s sake?
There was another $20,000 at least on clothes for Todd, including that absolute necessity of any campaign, pairs of silk undershorts.
Sarah will be givin’ them back, at the same time Senator Ted Stevens gives back that massage chair he was “loaned” in 2001.
Except for her undies. The thrifty governor will be sellin’ them on eBay!
Alaskan | 12.04.08 02:40 AM
Scrapiron,
You’re mistaken about a few things in your comments – first of all, the private family only funeral for President-Elect Obama’s grandmother Madelyn Dunham, hasn’t been held yet. The event you are referencing was a memorial service held by Mrs. Dunham’s former co-workers and friends. Which none of Mrs. Dunham’s family attended.
Secondly, as for President-Elect Obama’s use of the campaign plane to visit his then dying grandmother – the costs related to that trip were paid for by private donors. No campaign funds were used.
Thirdly, an in-depth look at the financial records for the various campaigns has not revealed any other instance EXCEPT for the McCain campaign where ANY campaign funds were used to clothe a candidate OR their family. Everyone else it would appear, used THEIR OWN money to purchase clothes, accessories, shoes, etc. The ONLY candidate and their family which had clothes bought for them using campaign funds was SARAH PALIN AND HER FAMILY!
But hey, why let the facts and the truth get in the way of your deluded rantings.
BrendaKay | 12.04.08 03:21 AM
They didn’t mention it was to the “Sarah Palin Charity.”
Cinderella has to dress for the ball, you know.

Why don’t we hear about Nancy Pelosi’s expenses?
Her own private jet to go to Washington.
Why can’t she fly commercial like they want the CEO’s of the car companys (that actually produce income for the nation) to do.

Nancy Pelosi is an extremely wealthy woman who has a lot of her own money (and that of her rich husband) to spend as she wishes. She is NOT ripping off campaign donors for her designer duds, and other expenses, she pays for them herself. Last I knew, rightwingers want the wealthy left alone to spend their money as they deem appropriate. But maybe that doesn’t extend to non Repubs, eh Robert??! You apparently resent the fact that Pelosi is rich. Get over it.

Brooklyn Democrat | 12.04.08 10:28 AM
Miss Piggy is just another right-wing Republican sleazebag exploiting the American people for personal gain and self-gratification.
Miss Piggy lost the election for John McCain because American voters saw that she is a weak-minded, fundamentalist wacko.
Miss Piggy never earned as much in her life as she was able to pocket in clothes, accessories and goodies from the RNC; she behaved like a pig at the trough.
You can put $30k in accessories, $150k in clothes, a fake tan, and lipstick on Miss Piggy, but she is still Miss Piggy.
Miss Piggy should divorce her fleabag husband and marry Joe the Fake Plumber.
JoeRio | 12.04.08 10:33 AM
Smart people. Nice people. Compassionate people.
“marry Joe the Fake Plumber.”
Is that what got you? It’s the single most non-truthful sentence.
He IS a plumber. He just didn’t have a contractor’s license, or any employees for that business he had tax concerns over.
But he WAS on the public dole while unemployed. So there’s that….
…and Joe didn’t swallow The One’s words like honey dripping from His godlike lips, either. Should he be stoned then crucified, or the other way around?
You stay classy, leftards.
I wish we could have deep, intelligent conversations like that here. sigh.
Exhibit #60 of how the RNC is incompetent. Did they put a stop to this nonsense at the get-go? Noooooo, that would have made too much sense. It got to the point that before the election day, I was in a Starbucks and the three “ladies” sitting next to me were giggling that [Palin had to be sleeping w/ McCain to get him to buy her Half-a-Million dollars in clothes].
They shall get the government they deserve.
Based on the amount of (non-truthful) vituperation from this bunch of oh-so-concerned, caring and compassionate lefturds, it’s easy to tell that Sarah really scared the piss out of them.
And Gilgamesh (BTW, how was the boat ride?), blow it out your ass, bitch. The sad simple fact remains that Joe the Plumber showed up your boy Obambi for the lying sack of shit that he is, and was pilloried by The One’s Commiecrat operatives for his trouble.
A pity no one bothered to look a tenth as deeply into The Lightbringer’s background as they did JtP.
Why did you make a post about the kind of crap we see from the resident retards every day?
Um, this is an additional $30,000 spent by the RNC to clothe Palin and her clan.
So the total is now $180,000.
Techie, I quibble. The RNC was responsible for the leaking among staffers (but was that more McCain’s fault?) But, the MSM did a full-on assault with it. What the hell could they do?
Fox and Rush as simply no match.
Gilgamesh is merely standing up for the working man like a good liberal.
Except those that dare argue with the ‘Dear Leader’. They must be purged.
There is a supreme irony here. An absolute sewer of mindless vitriol and tribal idiocy is astonished at the meanies over at some lefty echo chamber. Take a look in the mirror you fuckwits.
Yeah, from a paragon of a fuckwit like yourself, assclown.
Yes, but Obama doesn’t get to wear the Temple around, afterward. I hope.
SEE? HOPE! AND CHANGE!
I understand that introspection is hard to find among the diehard Republicans left around but give it the old college try. Or community college try, if you must.
Assclown, how serious did you expect to be taken when you picked the moniker “assclown?”
I hope you didn’t strain yourself, squeezing out a zinger like that.
How about ‘ya wee cunts’?
But, I’m going to enjoy being the “loyal opposition”, assboy. Hell, I’m considering buying a copy of Photoshop so I can put Obama’s glorious visage on various insects and lower mammals. Sort of a LOLbama concept.
I mean, that’s the true spirit of opposition, right? Dissent IS the highest form of patriotism. That and giant paper mache puppet heads.
The kid laments that the opposition is all of community college stock, yet offers community college calumnies. Ironic, no?
Complaining about the excessive spending on Palin’s wardrobe is kinda funny considering how much Obama spent on his campaign.
And, by “funny” I mean fucking ridiculous.
“, blow it out your ass, bitch”
“I hope you didn’t strain yourself, squeezing out a zinger like that.”
Mirror, mirror on the wall……………
Bored, now.
Just now? I’ve been bored with the trolls for months. I’m starting to get bored of ignoring them. At some point it’s easiest just to go away.
So will this site become BalloonWisdom or ProteinJuice?
Carin,
Palin was the one claiming the Dems were “elitist” while she was blowing your campaign contributions on hundreds of thousands worth of gifts for herself and her family bought at America’s most upscale stores.
“Spot the hypocrisy” is what American politics is all about these days.
There’s one!
“I’ve been bored with the trolls for months.”
Just ignore them
Rabid right-wing site PUMA PAC [http://pumapac.org/ ] estimating that the Obama! campaign has potentially had ~$166 million dollars that went *poof*, into thin air. This includes $25 million in donations at are “untraceable”, meaning we have no idea who gave them.
Glad to see that the REALLY important issues of the day are still on the front burners.
I’m bored with the opinions of all the certifiably stupid, including those who keep pushing the “Imelda Palin” line.
I don’t need to keep watching a festering boil to know that eventually it’s going to pop and spew pus all over those suffering from it.
I can happily wait for that day and do my snickering then, when it’s gotten everybody’s attention istead of just mine.
“that are”
What I mean is, I don’t see the point of even taking notice of that kind of commentary, let alone trying to answer it. I don’t care how much the Democrats spent on this stuff either.
It’s exactly as useful as harping for years about Bill Clinton’s serial sexual harassments before the Lewinsky scandal put it all on the front page. Let the boil fester on its own schedule.
Palin was the one claiming the Dems were “elitist†while she was blowing your campaign contributions on hundreds of thousands worth of gifts for herself and her family bought at America’s most upscale stores.
“Spot the hypocrisy†is what American politics is all about these days.
I. Don’t. Care. I don’t care how much she spent on her clothes. If someone in the RNC OKed it, then it’s fine with me. Why should liberals be concerned with what is done with Republican donation funds? If a donor was pissed, then we’d have a legitimate gripe. But, the noise is coming from people who didn’t give.
Honestly, I’d be more pissed about those Greek Columns if I were a dem (donor)- but you guys didn’t seem to care about that, did you?
There’s one!
Opinions are like assholes. Everybody has one.
Obama won, Carin.
Which, by definition, means the money was well spent.
Maybe the money for Palin’s $5000 red leather jacket could have been spent on a decent campaign ad that tipped the balance instead?
We’ll never know.
Obama won, Carin.
Which, by definition, means the money was well spent.
That’s what that means? You mean, we BUY elections by having it marketed properly? It doesn’t have anything to do with their message, ideas, or leadership qualities.
Got it.
oh, Carin, it’s much simpler. ends justify means.
You guys are so cynical.
Sometimes a candidate’s inner goodness just needs a little outer polish so it can shine through.
Weren’t thor and snippy bitching abour Ziegler’s polls confirming that Obama supporters were low information voters yesterday? Today they and other trolls are here and over at Hot Air confirming Ziegler’s results.
Life is a fucking bitch when you’re always wtong, isn’t it thor and snippy. Try Preparation H. Don’t scratch those things.
#5 Techie:
There is no way any of that crazy can be stopped. No way at all. Not while it continues to be indulged by the leadership of the Democratic Party. Not while it is indulged by the mass media.
This is just another example of trutherism, another example of BDS, and so long as these people are not denounced and condemned – sort of like Bill Clinton once did to a truther – then you will continue to get this. Here is an example, via Jim Treacher:
http://www.palindeception.com/blog/2008/12/more-coming-soon.html
Please explain to me how the RNC is supposed to deal with this level of bat-shit crazy without going all howler monkey themselves? How do you keep up with something like that?
This nation is going to pay very, very dearly for indulging these pathetic, obsessed twits – no matter what side they nominally support.
“Sometimes a candidate’s inner goodness just needs a little outer polish so it can shine through.”
You mean like putting lipstick on a pig or are you calling Obama a shine boy?
You guys are so cynical.
Sometimes a candidate’s inner goodness just needs a little outer polish so it can shine through.
What I’m cynical about is that we, as a society, don’t CARE anymore about a candidates actual qualities. That instead we buy whichever candidate is packaged better.
McCain could have won the race by being a BETTER CANDIDATE, not by wrapping him up in better bows.
Actually, daley,
Me and every other American will soon be calling Obama “Mr. President.”
As for lipstick on a pig, you went there, I didn’t.
but in the mean time shine boy will do. soooo shiney.
you didn’t deny it.
really, how else do you explain all the halo photos?
Can we call him Fake Plastic Messiah instead? He doesn’t seem all that presidential to me. More community-organizer-ish.
They don’t care about “saving” Republicans from Sarah Palin, they’re concerned with destroying her to save themselves from defeat in the future.
This is just another form of mobyism. I say, let ’em rant. The rising hot air causes a nice cool breeze to come in at ground level.
Oh, I know McGehee. I just like to try to twist them into logical knots about it.
If you honestly believe Ziegler proved anything other than “you can find idiots without looking too hard” then you are truly one of the diehards. It is nothing but red meat for a desperate bunch. Let it console you, but don’t believe the results.
True. Just find a bunch of MSNBC viewers and/or Obama voters and there you go. Ziegler just showed what we all already knew.
BTW, I love when the trolls name themselves appropriately.
f you honestly believe Ziegler proved anything other than “you can find idiots without looking too hard†then you are truly one of the diehards. It is nothing but red meat for a desperate bunch. Let it console you, but don’t believe the results.
Mr. Ass (if I can call you that?), we are certainly aware you can find idiots just about everywhere. In BOTH parties. The issue I have is when you look toward national polls indicating this or that regarding policy. When I hear that X% believe the country is going in the wrong direction, or people point out Bush’s unpopularity numbers, I say (to you, Mr. Ass) I simply don’t care, because people are largely uninformed.
Obama’s “mandate”? Idiotic. Because he was largely elected by uninformed voters.
I see a photoshop opportunity of Baracky carrying a shoe shine box or snapping some shine towels over a pair of shiny black loafers – see what I did there.
“If you honestly believe Ziegler proved anything other than “you can find idiots without looking too hard†then you are truly one of the diehards. It is nothing but red meat for a desperate bunch. Let it console you, but don’t believe the results.”
Not true. I don’t know where the rock you live under is located but here in NYC – where admitting you’re a Republican is asking for trouble – I spent the whole fall amusing myself by playing the liberal concern troll to ascertain just how clueless the Obots surrounding me were. Well-paid, well-educated and lobotomized was the persistent theme.
Well, Abe, I hope you enjoyed your little game. It’s amusing what we do to pass the time, eh?
“Well-paid, well-educated and lobotomized was the persistent theme.”
Abe – Same in my hood and they had absolutely no interest in hearing information which departed from the approved narrative about Obama. Fingers would immediately be jammed in ears, la la la, I can’t hear you.
Are you amusing yourself assclown?
What is amusing is your concept of reality. So yes, by definition I am amused by reading the comments here.
I never started it assclown. I’d rather discuss Rosie O’Donnell’s anal warts than politics with people I hardly know. But I’m not going to apologize for having fun with mesmerized Obama cultists who thought they had license to spread the word near and far like Hare Krishna kooks.
Assclown is boring me. Can we talk music again?
Comment by parsnip on 12/4 @ 11:41 am #
Me and every other American will soon be calling Obama “Mr. President.â€Â
You mean, just like you and the rest of the looney Left referred to GWB as “Mr. President” for the past eight years?
Yeah, right. Whatever you say, Goober.
BTW, I checked out that “Palin’s Deceptions” web site, and it took me a while to figure out that this was not some Iowahawk-inspired joke site. Those “low information voters” were for real. Amazing…
And I see that “Audrey” cooze is a couple of days late with her big revelation that she had to consult with a lawyer about (no doubt to determine how much of a risk she’d run for being sued for libel for posting her latest “Sarah Palin-Spawn of Satan” lie).
Oh yes, Sarah really does scare the crap out of those people. Gotta love it…
it’s also far less than what Obama paid for his Dork Temple.
Don’t forget, Obama spent 800,000 for lighting and sound for one speech in Germany – almost a million bucks on lighting and sound for ONE speech and oh yeah, 10 grand for the Euro Limo to take him to the speech.
Ya know what? I think it’s too late. If someone tries to reign them in, they’ll just turn on him.
Sure, Topsecret, but I think Obama won the German vote, so it was obviously money well spent.
People like assclown can never be happy. The closest they can come is trying to make other people miserable. It’s a liberal thing.
And, let’s not forget that while he was there he
visited recovering soldiersvisited the Gym. So, again, money well spent.What is amusing is your concept of reality.
Ah yes, as opposed to:
Lied us into war
Illegal War
Iraq was contained and no threat to anyone
War for Oil
Plastic Turkey
Global Warming is proven to be caused by man and can be solved without involving the 2 most populous nations on earth
52% is a mandate, but 51% just proves the nation is full of idiots
Domestic spying
Just a few of the highlights of the last 8 years.
Meanwhile, we grow closer to the day when Obie Wan uses his hypnotic powers to subdue a nuclear-armed Iran.
Bring in the (ass)clowns.
Carin and TSK9 – He did have that cool phallic symbol in the background for the speech which scared a lot of people, though. You know, big black dicks and all.
The Democrats have been riding the fascist thug tiger for all my life, so I guess they never will try to reign in the kooks in their ranks.
All Bullshit!!!
(Mossberg – that’s what Makewi meant)
Some people simply have never been able to enjoy a good day. Ever.
Every new day is simply another opportunity to raise minutia to levels of spectacular angst and hatred.
I’m glad I don’t have to live my life that way. It is too short for all of that shit.
That was my point Mossberg500, and honestly that’s just the highlights.
I’ve got your back, Makewi. And, apparently nothing else to do today.
I’m gonna go to the gym in a bit, so then you guys will be free of me.
The neocons rightwingers still cant’ get over the fact that the majority of the American people threw their sorry butts out of office.
In a truly sane world people would be more fixated with Biden’s hairplugs and Botoxed face. I mean, what makes this Palin wardrobe obsession so perverse is that it not only rings false with everything else we know about her but runs counter to everything the left finds emotionally satisfying about hating her. It’s almost like they’re trying to say she’s a hypocrite for giving them a reason to hate her which contradicts the other ones. Way to accentuate the mental illness that animates your hatred!
Meanwhile, what kind of vain manpussy injects toxins into his face and isn’t the laughingstock of the universe?
Continuum, it seems more that y’all are really pissed at her for going to bat for Chambliss.
“Me and every other American will soon be calling Obama “Mr. President.—
So now I’m un-American because soon I’ll be calling Obama “That nitwit in the Whitehouse?”
All this proves is that if you link it, they will come. You know, to disprove your assertion that they’re ugly in the ugliest possible ways.
Again, I have to wonder what it is about the trolls that they cannot be happy since their guy won. All they have known is their hate, and they cannot let go of it.
Sometimes a candidate’s inner goodness just needs a little outer polish so it can shine through.
I call RACISM and LIPSTICK ON A PIG!
Thanks Carin.
Who bought Bill Clinton’s designer Washington Insider suits when he was running for POTUS as a redneck governor of a podunk hick state?
And you know, if Sarah Palin had campaigned in her usual Alaskan garb, they’d be making fun of that just as hard.
Sorry, I skimmed too quickly!
I’m over it. In fact, I’m proud of my country. Not only did we spend the last 8 years freeing the world of 2 terrorist supporting nations (and free millions of people in the process), we elected a black man to POTUS less than 50 years after the civil rights legislation was passed. We’re movers, we’re shakers, we get the shit done.
I am concerned about various policy issues, but as for the rest, not so much. Hell, I’m willing to forgive the left leaners out there who spent the last 8 years acting like spoiled lying screeching little children.
No worries, Mossberg.
I have to wonder what it is about the trolls that they cannot be happy since their guy won.
Barack Obama is going to require everyone to work, for a change. That’s gotta scare ’em.
* * *
The thing that worries me about all these lies and vitriol about Sarah Palin needing to buy Washington DC-suitable clothes for the campaign–because she didn’t HAVE any, because she wasn’t rich and hasn’t been in the Senate since before most of the Hope-n-Change voters were even BORN–is the potential for the RNC use it to justify never ever ever again nominating a non-rich, non-lawyer, non-career politician.
No average Americans! Just Ivy Leaguers who’ve been in DC for decades, and/or their sexy puppet figures.
They expect us to dry up and blow away. Or to throw as big a fit as they did in 2000 and 2004.
BTW, I love when the trolls name themselves appropriately.
“assclown” obviously represents not only a troll’s self love but also its developmental stage.
It’s amazing that this is about the only thing they can get right.
Again, I have to wonder what it is about the trolls that they cannot be happy since their guy won. All they have known is their hate, and they cannot let go of it.
At this rate, we’ll have them in Jonestown, Guyana[sp], by Spring.
If they expect a big fit out of me, they will have a long wait. I was kind of upset at first, but I got over it. I hope that when Obama becomes my president on January 20th, that he proves me wrong in my predictions for his behavior. Given his choices so far for his cabinet, I think it’s going to be the lefties who are going to scream the loudest.
Given his choices so far for his cabinet, I think it’s going to be the lefties who are going to scream the loudest.
Me too: Obama’s almost beginning to look like a good old white boy. Can you Progressives say “bait and switch”?
“The Assclowns” would be a good name for a band.
Don’t give too much credence to Obama’s Cabinet selections–contrast them to his campaign rhetotic and known proclivities. I suspect that after he’s inaugurated, his socialist bent will out. He doesn’t have to care about his cabinet, he has Pelosi, Reid, et.al., to implement his agenda. Everything else is cover.
Yes, Heather, that is a justifiable concern because as Gerald VandeLeun has put it;
“Republicans,they thirst for death” the fact that Ron Paul! and Huckabee! got any traction
was a distressing thing. Huckabee hanging around like Banquo’s ghost, on Fox, really acting like a diva, makes me long for the days of Jim Guy Tucker. But I’m confident
as another poster put it on a different post; “there’s a new sheriff in town,riding
on a snowmobile, get over it” For those who didn’t get the point, that Sarah was making about a hockey mom’s tenacity,which she has proven over these last four monthes! When she stuck to what she believed she drew massive crowds with a consistent message. She faltered only when she bore the handicap of supporting McCain’s watered down platform planks on the bailout, cap and trade, Even then she dragged at least across the forty yard line. Despite the attempted tackles by Couric, Gibson & Fey among many others.
One does it admit there is more than a touch of the Capraesque nature of the situation that must have struck more than likely when
she was down in Miami, three weeks ago. “All this fuss, about little old me, it’s a little odd, both the raging hatred and the adulation. Must feel like Wassila High, class of ’81 all over again”.
#92 irongrampa:
Then we are safe if Mr. Obama intends to use Rep. Pelosi and Sen. Reid to implement his agenda since those two can’t control their own caucuses, let alone follow directions simpler than “inhale. exhale. repeat.”
If you honestly believe Ziegler proved anything other than “you can find idiots without looking too hard 
Isn’t that enough? And thanks for reinforcing the data.
‘Again, I have to wonder what it is about the trolls that they cannot be happy since their guy won. All they have known is their hate, and they cannot let go of it.’
We aren’t gonna let go the anger ’til the Bushman and his Band of Merry Men are serving time in max security…..so you got that going for you.
Current Right Wing rationalizations to help them accept the election:
1. Obama’s supporters are dumb!
2. Obama’s really a conservative!
Did I miss any?
Good point, Heather, in regards to if Palin wore “her” clothes, than she’d be described by the champions of “everyman/woman” as an even bigger snowbilly skank. It didn’t matter what she wore, the idiots owuld have complained.
Your number 2 point is the current meme from your side, taterhead, which conveniently proves number 1, doesn’t it?
This is too easy.
Poor B Moe,
It doesn’t look like you’re coping well at all.
Might I suggest you work on some new, personal rationalizations to help you make it through?
How about “We’ll get ’em next time!”??
So, that will be never then. Well, go with what you know I guess.
Ah yes, as opposed to:
You forgot:
-Stole the election(s)
-Declared the Iraq war over on a carrier, where he
-Wore a military uniform
-With socks stuffed in to make his dick look bigger
-And spent a lot of money so’s he could have a plane ride
There’s plenty of absolutely batshit insane stuff we’ve had to put up with from our friends on the left. Collectively, it makes the whole Friends of Bill business look downright well-considered by comparison.
Don’t forget the radio hidden under his jacket during the debates!
Slartibarfast, two of those items are disputable. The others are not.
Ignorance is bliss my ass.
How’s that Obama birth certificate hoopla going for you guys?
That was a Clinton supporter, last time a checked assclown.
That’s nice. So, care to answer the question? Or how about you post up the results of one of the MANY Obama conspiracy theories that have proven true?
Oh, you got us, Mr. Ass. We’re REALLY invested in that.
Maybe, instead, we should post a list of all of those things that Obama lied about during the campaign. You could take that on, assclown.
Mr. Ass – how bout you post up ONE Obama conspiracy theory that have been seriously offered here.
Which would those be? I haven’t heard any, but then, I don’t follow the conspiracy theory nut-culture.
Or how about the fact that the definition of Hope and Chance in Washington is recycled Clinton apparatchiks? Or that one of his transition team thinks he needs to be ready to “rule” come swearing in day.
Og course, he didn’t really know Ayers despite holding his first fundraiser in Ayre’s home and, of course, he had no idea that Uncle Jeremiah was so hatey. But, hey, if you are going to recycle the Clinton thing the lying is required.
You and god keep working on that fevered dream of Cheney and Bush and Rove frogmarched into Leavenworth.
LOOK, a shiny penny …
ah, there it is…. thankyou BJ for answering Rob’s question for me. Appreciated.
Chock full of information, that was not.
On the Obama birth certificate, Capt. Ed still tries to talk the nuts down, and still they go on and on. Note: Just because someone raises an allegation doesn’t mean anyone but the alleger is required to bring proof to the table.
This nation is going to pay very, very dearly for indulging these pathetic, obsessed twits – no matter what side they nominally support.
Oh look! I quoted myself, and it applies to truther-type conspiracy addled rageholics no matter what side they claim to support!
So assclown, care to comment as to which of the things I wrote is some kind of wacko conspiracy theory?
Take your time and don’t strain yourself.
Q: How much did David Axelrod (or his firm) make from the Obama campaign? (I believe around $10 million of Hillary’s debt was what she owed Howard Wolfson) And people are worried about $180k…
BJT – just about every word you type is wacko. Conspiracy theory or cookie recipes. All fucked up crazy.
On the flight-suit issue, it is a requirement for US Coast Guard Auxiliary Air that when a member takes his private facility up on a Coast Guard air patrol he and his crew wear flight suits, preferably Nomex. It would surprise me if anyone, including the POTUS wasn’t also required to wear one if he sits in the co-pilot’s seat of a military aircraft. So – damned if following regulations, damned if he waived regulations and didn’t.
Bank the rage before it consumes your lives.
Obama’s winning the election 52.9% – 45.7% puts the kibosh on the old “he stole the election” conspiracy theory.
Winning by 10 million votes will do that.
Maybe Al Franken can sub?
oh. I’m more the cookie recipe guy. You’re a dick.

Do try to keep up Carin, this isn’t Alaska.
Hey Parsnip. I just spent $700,000 on a house that was at auction for $300,000. But I got the house. So the money must have been “well spent.”
#51 “… I spent the whole fall amusing myself by playing the liberal concern troll to ascertain just how clueless the Obots surrounding me were. Well-paid, well-educated and lobotomized was the persistent theme.”
Likewise, Abe. I did the same in Hollywood, where admitting conservatism has equal perils. Of the many educated, affluent Obamatrons in the film industry I parried with, not one — NOT ONE — knew anything about Obama’s background or associations or showed the slightest curiosity to learn. He was spiritually endowed to lead, on this point they were sure, and nothing else mattered.
He was spiritually endowed to lead, on this point they were sure, and nothing else mattered.
Just like Ronald Reagan was.
What a coinkydink, being in Hollywood and all.
Ronald Reagan was a governor not some pansy marxist doorknocker.
That requirement spans more than one service. I’ve had to go up in US Army helicopters a couple of times, from different airfields, and it was Nomex suit or you didn’t get in. Some places even made you buy your own.
Oh: and steel-toed boots, too, for some reason.
The flight suit? Seriously you are defending that idiocy. If you were the President, how would you be transported to a US carrier?
I spit on all things Baracky. He makes me sick is what he does.
The man was, um, like for real a pilot, in like, the air national guard.
Actually, I’m sure many of the fools here see no problem with a sitting President pulling such a transparent stunt at taxpayer expense. In fact, if Bush had parachuted in it would have been that much sweeter.
If I was President and knew that the flight suit could save my life, I’d choose the flight suit.
You, my friend, are being an idiot. You haven’t the slightest fucking clue what you’re talking about
Dash – so the fuck what? His daddy was a real deal pilot who actually fought in a war. So was McCain. How many times have they taken an attack plane to a carrier? Or anywhere for that matter?
Fucking rubes.
Slartibartfast – I don’t care about the stupid flight suit. It is the reason he needed it in the first place.
So, assclown is emblematic of the idiocy we see pouring out of some folks on the left, and he’s here complaining about what a bunch of wingnuts we are?
Excuse me for bothering. Trollhammered.
How would I be transported to a US carrier if I was POTUS? In the back seat of a F/A 18 Hornet trainer.
Who wouldn’t want to do a tailhook landing in a supersonic fighter/attack aircraft? Lighten up, assclown.
That transport was no attack plane.
Have you shown yourself to be an pretentious ignorant ass all your life, assclown, or is this some new thing, like a midlife crisis?
You just hate Bush cause your Baracky is such a frilly pansy he couldn’t remotely pull anything off with respect to actually being a commander in chief. This is because he is a marxist dweeby ponce. A complete gaywad, really.
That’s no moon.
“Ronald Reagan was a governor not some pansy marxist doorknocker.”
Your emerging bitterness is like an iron hand in a velvet glove.
Pretend niceness…………
oh happyfeet, I know you are upset. Try and not let it ruin your day.
But seriously? The jet landing stunt was so far from Presidential it is laughable to argue otherwise.
Your writing is an iron fist in a glove full of vaseline.
The plane was an S-3 Viking, designed for attack and anti-submarine duties, though usually used as a tanker now.
From Wiki:
On 1 May 2003, US President George W. Bush rode in the co-pilot seat of a Viking that landed on USS Abraham Lincoln, where he delivered his “Mission Accomplished” speech announcing the end of major combat in the 2003 invasion of Iraq. This was the only Navy flight to date to use the callsign “Navy One”.
The aircraft that President Bush rode in was retired shortly after and on July 15th 2003 was accepted as an exhibit at the National Museum of Naval Aviation in Pensacola, Florida.
The aircraft belonged to the USS Lincoln, the pilot got in flight hours, and he and the Navy received a signal honor. Sounds like a sweet deal to me. I wouldn’t begrudge Pres. Obama doing that if he got the opportunity – there seems to be very little fun involved in the job of POTUS.
I don’t know about whether the act of flying on to the deck of the Lincoln was presidential or no, or even whether such a thing matters at all times and all places for any man holding the office (how “presidential” were Clinton’s various behavioral quirks?), but it certainly was one of many human acts to cement a lasting bond with the men and women of the armed forces, as far as I can see.
#147 Sdferr:
IIRC, the crew of the Lincoln appreciated it.
What an honor for the pilot.
What an honor for the deckcrew.
What an honor for the landing signals officer.
Now they have a story they can tell:
We brought the President in for his first tailhook!
Mikey, just because you blow your wad every time you see Bush’s glowing countenance does not mean all people do. Even military people. How’d they vote this past election, exactly?
I could come up with so many Arkansas State Trooper punch lines for that…
Bank your rage before it consumes you, assclown. If it isn’t too late already.
#152 McGehee:
Now that was just bad…
And to add to your question –
I wonder if airline pilots sit about and try to figure out which of them brought Sen. Craig in for his first ‘tailhook’?
All this talk about Commander Codpiece just gives him authenticity he doesn’t deserve……………
I am not upset. Baracky poncing around for four years playing with his super special I’m a for real pezzydent live-action play set isn’t any more upsetting than like Perfect Strangers getting renewed or like when you find out that new restaurant what they’re building is going to be a fucking Applebee’s. It’s disappointing sure but it’s more the opportunity cost that’s sad than being upset by some marxist gaywad thousands of miles away what if you don’t watch MSNBC you hardly know he’s there. He’s very slight, this one. Something of a lightweight I guess you would say. A nervous little dog. A nervous little yippy pansy dog what wants to redistribute shit but actually doesn’t have the balls turns out.
Where did all these drunken idiots come from? Has thor invited the winos from the bus station over for a party?

So how is that transparency thing working out for you guys? Or the ethics thing, remember Kulture of Kurruption, assclown? How about campaign finance reform? How about you talk about something going on right now for a change, instead of obsessing about someone who has already beat your ass twice. Must have really fucking hurt, huh?

Speaking of belly laughs, leftbots, how many campaign promises has your Messiah broken today?
Let me tell you about this party. It sucks. It’s full of fat unemployed dudes yammering about Ayn Rand and making unfunny jokes about black people. What did happyfeet bring here? The Risk board game?

It is ironic, especially if it is God. You would think that if he could raise people from the dead and all the rest he could already have dealt with G.W. Bush.

Why. Happy Birthday, Carin. You’re looking rather young and fresh today, and, yes I will have a cocktail. To celebrate.
To beans, bullets, and boots now add bytes.

Because I can.
What, is 200 the limit now? Where did everyone go?
I think assclown is looking for his hat.
assclown is so clueless that he actually asked how military personnel voted in the last election.
Parsnip is such a dipshit that he/she argues that the Hologram won a landslidy mandate AND a $5,000 TV spot could have changed the election while simultaneously failing to understand that the “he stole the election” meme refers to the libweasels’ post 2000 whining.
assclown is so clueless that he actually asked how military personnel voted in the last election.
Not one of them voted for Bush, you know. Not a single one.
I have just one question (and please pardon me for getting back to the original post…)
When you folks write checks to campaigns (pubs or dems), do you fill in the little memo field at the bottom with “Ads only” or “Food only” or “Gas for the bus only” ?? Or does the act of giving the money automatically imply that the campaign can use it
in whatever way it deems fit?
I know that when I donate, I trust that they will use it where it’s needed. (unlike govt and taxes)
and that damn-gee-willickers, as a female businesswomen, I understand that (since the age of television anyway), the right look is needed for job interviews. Any doofus should know that.
And isn’t that what they are doing? A long, loooonnnnnnng drawnout job interview??
Oh, stop being sensible, DCLex. Anyone of another party who spends money on such things as appearance is a terrible, terrible person, and ought to be buried alive in melting “perma”frost.
Yes, of course you’re right. My bad….
Shame about that Naomi WhatsHerFace (wolf?) that was called in to give ole Al FatfaceBeadyEye Gore his
nice new shiny look. I guess that was a freebie.
Now that you mention it, DCLex, the only person I gave money to this campaign was Fred Thompson, and he quit a week later, said he was giving the money to McCain which kind of pissed me off. A lot. Now though, I can just figure that my money went into Palin’s wardrobe, hopefully some of the naughty bits, and feel good about my contribution again.
Thank you.
B.Moe – we have to look for our rainbows right?
(dont tell me, it was the thigh-high boots, right?)
For the record, I quite enjoy the game Risk. I would play it with happy if he brung it.
Thanks Big D! I think Mr. Clown thinks he’s at some sort of risk of being taken for serious, which is ironical on a thread called Palin’s Costly Wardrobe, Revisited I think. Happy Birthday Carin!! Isn’t Mr. Goldstein’s birthday sort of ensconced in the holiday season too? I seem to remember that but I could be amiss. Hah! I gave to Fred the day before he quit. I also bought some GM this year at $28. Also I gave just a token amount to Feckless after the NYT did that gay-assed mistress smear job on him. I need to go hear my happy song now. This year was kind of for stupid except for the good parts.
oh. What you never want to be is between me and Kamchatka. I’m obsessed.
Ditto here, Makewi. It’s been years since I’ve played Risk, but HF would take it to a whole new level…
Of course I might not know if I’d won until til several days had passed, but it would be an adventure. Course that would
be true with Monopoly, Clue, etc. But not Scrabble, cause the HF knows spelling and grammar. (in the HF tradition of course)
Homework is required to figure out the last 2 HF posts. I am on it.
First thing hf always does is try to take Ukraine away from you. Especially if you’re Thor.
Well, we can all send a prayer of thanks to the Almighty that we’re not thor. I’m sure He will
be positively deafened by the chorus.
*scratches head* tell me why ukraine is important????
I am the suck at Scrabble. I hoard and hoard waiting for the Big Play and end up getting my ass kicked by house and trees and oil. It’s very humbling.
Soooo hf, wanna play some Scrabble? For a few measly $$$???
trees and oil? *scratching head…*
trees and oil are the kind of words you can beat me at scrabble with while I wait for the one letter I need to lay down larynxes on one of the red square thingies
it’s in February… I think.. .it’s on the amazon…

Done a lot of carrier landings, have you?
Why are you bitching about the Libertarian Party to us? I mean, some of us have probably voted Libertarian, but…well, it’s not as if Jeff’s blog has Rand’s visage on the masthead. Or is there some Objectivist Party still in existence, that has any effect whatsoever on US politics?
Like he gets invited to a lot of parties…
You know, if it weren’t for the trolls I don’t know if Ayn Rand would ever come up on this site.
Well…I fucked her. But who didn’t?
Aw, crap. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CARIN!
You don’t look a day over 25.
Doesn’t everybody remember “Hunt for Red October” Jack Ryan wore the the same getup
with harness when he went on to the Carrier
in the Northern Atlantic, as to when he got
to the U.S.S. Dallas. The President came on the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln, to congratulate them for the 40 day effort, that led to the fall of Baghdad. He was and continues to be honored by
the majority of the serving and retired troops, for his efforts in protecting this country, To spin it any other way is vile and disgraceful.
Similarly the heartland and the military
appreciate Sarah for her support of the
military, and intelligence operations, first
seen in the Charlie Rose interview, buried on Youtube, and her trip to an Alaskan NG base in Kuwait, in addition to her son’s service in Iraq. She has consistently lived her values, whether in business, through her family, and her campaign for efficiency in government and
crusade against corruption. She never cared about such minor issues as high end clothing through out her career. However, if you’re going to go to a national political convention, then meet with a passel of world leaders, you ought to have an appropriate wardrobe. So it looks like she wore the same outfit on the Chambliss rallies that she did at theMinneapolis
Convention, with the boots,DC Lex, seemingly so long ago. Seriously, what are they going to do, give it to Goodwill, Salvation Army, Hell no, thats the uniform she’ll use for major events in the next few years, when all the ungrateful backstabbers who dissed her up till a week ago ago, now that her value was proven with Chambliss,will then ask for her support and she will give it, because that’s the kind of person she is. Seriously this kind of retromingent gossip disguised as journalism, gives navel gazing a bad name.
Happy Birthday Carin!
I’d offer you cake but I know you don’t trust this “moron’s” cooking. ;-)
It’s Winter in Michigan. Lots of Global Warming is falling. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year too.
“We aren’t gonna let go the anger ’til the Bushman and his Band of Merry Men are serving time in max security…..so you got that going for you”
Well guess this means these poor dears will be angry until the day they die, I pity them. The incoming president is not going to allow his perfect image to be soiled with a bunch of nasty impreachment trials shown on TV 24-7; he wants to show America that he heals souls and nasty impeachment trials disrupt that plan.
Ironic no? The One dream proggs wanted most in the whole wide world, impeachment, will be crushed by The ONE.
Bush-haters, pawned by THE ONE. I am happy.
Thanks for the b-day wishes (I saw some in another thread to.)
Speaking of Rand, I’m halfway through “Atlas Shrugged” – but I’m not going to start yammering. I swear.
It goes a lot faster after you get to the speech, Carin. Most people start skipping at that point. :-)
Skipping to the end?
I’m enjoying it, but it’s so long. It was on my special shelf of books I’m determined to read.
I actually kind of liked the speech, Spies. It was sort of a welcome belief from Rand’s typical oh-please-dominate-me ice-queen heroine, or her contemptuous-on-the-outside, ball-of-fire-rapist heroes. I think Rand spent much of her adult life searching for the man who would just hurl her on the bed and fuck her doors off. Someone who she respected, mind you, but someone who hated her with a passion, yet couldn’t stop thinking about her body. Or something; Freud might have been able to figure her out, but I sure couldn’t.
See, Rand’s characters never made sense to me. If they were the inevitable end product of her philosophy, I wanted no part of it. Which is not to say that it was all bad, but a lot of it purely didn’t work.
Her idea of the solitary inventor is turning out to be not really all that realistic, much like Rousseau’s solitary primitive male. Not saying a single person can’t do invention, but there’s a very limited number of things a single visionary can do, alone. Rand didn’t know squat about science or engineering, either. Particularly metallurgy. Didn’t stop her from writing about it, though. If only we had a technology to generate power from nothing, we could build ourselves a Galt’s Gulch, too. Maybe we could even invent a force-field and a camouflaging ray as well. That’ll keep the neighbor’s dog out of our yards.
None of which is to say that you shouldn’t suspend disbelief and enjoy it, though.
No, just skipping to the end of the speech, but that’s a good 50 or 60 pages. You’ll find out. :-)
