Indeed. Even Michael Savage is starting to warm up to Palin and her unflinching willingness to call a spade a spade. So to speak. And not there’s anything wrong with that.
Unsurprisingly, the mainstream media, fresh off its hectoring of Republicans to renounce their violent, hate-filled rhetoric (a hectoring issued without a hint of irony after that same media rushed to blame a senseless murder spree on conservative rhetoric) is finding this particular utterance the end to the recent golden age of political “civility,” a period of peace that reached its zenith with some ribbons and a televised congressional date night. By my count, this latest murder makes at least 7 deaths Palin is responsible for this month alone.
The anti-semitic whore.
That Sarah Palin has rejected this phony appeal to “civility” — and refuses to shut her pie hole at the direction of the left — is proof positive that she was the stronger player on the McCain/Palin ticket.
And I suspect that she’ll soon feel compelled to forgo graciousness and call out McCain for his constant fluffing of the statist agenda.
When she does, we’ll have turned an important symbolic corner, I think. Because like it or not, Palin is one of the most important voices in conservatism today.
In before the troll?
Well I’ll be…
That would be really, really awesome.
WTF moments? Was That Funny?

Except the latter probably was not be invoked by the evil Christers. It might have been personal. Perhaps the NYT’s slogan should be: “Oh well, never let facts get in the way of a good story.
And while Obama did not mention any of this in the SOTU, he did not have to. It was implied. Blame Bush/Sarah Palin/Stooge Ryan/Bachmann for it all.

This is a very good source also, KeyWiki.
My prediction for 2012: Palin/Romney. Unity ticket (Tea Party/Old Guard).
Yes, I know the Old Guard still thinks they can call the shots. I believe they are wrong.
“But if she is defended, a world of possibilities opens up for all of us.”
How can anyone not understand this?
According to Rasmussen, the voters echo Palin: WTF.
People are starting to see through his bullshit, bh.
They’re getting to be like the survivors of the Endurance waiting it out on Elephant Island, sick and tired of eating penguin blubber. C’mon Shackleton, hurry the fuck up.
Shall we call it an Awakening? I have optimism, for no apparent reason.
I was just reading through the list of Senate Republican committee assignments and came upon the Senate “Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry” committee. Suddenly I’m seized by a wave of depression.
For even more good stuff, check out Sarah Palin’s Facebook post.
In part:
“Consider what his “big government greatness” really amounts to. It’s basically a corporatist agenda – it’s the collaboration between big government and the big businesses that have powerful friends in D.C. and can afford to hire big lobbyists. This collaboration works in a manner that distorts and corrupts true free market capitalism. This isn’t just old-fashioned big government liberalism; this is crony capitalism on steroids. In the interests of big business, we’re “investing” in technologies and industries that venture capitalists tell us are non-starters, but which will provide lucrative returns for some corporate interests who have major investments in these areas. In the interests of big government, we’re not reducing the size of our bloated government or cutting spending, we’re told the President will freeze it – at unsustainable, historic levels! In practice, this means that public sector employees (big government’s staunchest defenders) may not lose jobs, but millions of Americans in the private sector face lay offs because the ever-expanding government has squeezed out and crippled our economy under the weight of unsustainable debt.”

Yet, the left, which constantly rails against big business, will wail and gnash teeth over the snowhickbilly daring to point out the obvious problem with big government being in bed with business.
Sarah Palin will never call out McCain because she is both gracious and grateful. Quite aside from my notion that ol’ Maverick’s crankcase is nowhere close to being topped-off these days and any attack on him would be picking on a cripple this is Palin’s St. Joan moment. She can wade into the battle for America’s continued success as a place to make dreams come true or start worrying about who’s on her Enemies List just like the current occupant of the White House.
OT: the precognition around the web seems to be that Mike Pence is going to run for Gov, not Prez.
yes we need more spudnut moments in America.
WTF is wrong with us we don’t have near enough spudnut moments.
Run Sarah run! Yes. We needs to get our spudnut on in our little country I think, and we needs to get it on yesterday.
gimme an S!
gimme a P!
gimme a U!
gimme a D!
gimme an N!
ok I need another U!
um. Ok. gimme a T!
What does that spell???
AMERICA FUCK YEAH
“WTF is wrong with us we don’t have near enough spudnut moments.”
on the bright side, DADT was repealed.
yea us
According to the internet, you can’t procure a spudnut in my state. So, we could use at least one more spudnut moment.
the fda is banning spudbuts because of transfats
The bastards!
Okay… so you got me to google spudnuts.
But there ain’t no way I’m gonna google spudbuts.
Yeah, that’d definitely result in mental trauma.
TPM the font of all wisdom and truthiness. They who never attempt to do the twisty-twisty on language and are always right and in context.
Sourceiness determines truthiness.
Of course if it is wished to make this statement one that places Obama and the Left as the Russians and the economic crisis they have foisted upon us all as the Sputnik which brings about the awareness that there is a great unnoticed problem of public debt to which we must apply ourselves to overcome. Ok then, thank you little nikita.
What TPM glosses is that the so called “Space Race” was about defense and was a defence, military driven, thing here and in the USSR. It didn’t end with the Moon landings. SDI was also part of it and that it did drive the USSR to economic extinction trying to keep up with what “Sputnik” awakened.
spudbut
Uh-huh.
Patiently awaiting retraction.
All your drain pipes leak then?
that can be fixed. ask scooter libby.
That’s what those are called, Geoff? I would have guessed thingamajig.
Patient waiting can be fun AJB. Look forward to it. For instance, we here have been patiently waiting for you to pull your head out your ass for years now, and instead are rewarded with your occasional visits to show us we have time yet to go. Most amusing.
Then there’s the day you look down to see you’re wearing one of these on your belt and suddenly realize you’re in dangling peril.
Excuse the dumb question but why are the ends of those wrenches tapered like that?
Gots to line up the bolt holes.
Use ’em to align holes in two pieces of steel bh. Bull-pin is what we called ’em.
Thanks, guys.
I started to wonder “apropos of what?”, but then I remembered this is, after all, AJB, and he’s just dropping off some trollish nonsense.
Prosecutor finds a horse head in his bed and now he can’t find anything to back up the claim that the union staged a sit out on plow day? And that’s what you’ve got for a Palin thread?
What a snot-bubble.
Somebody remind me, did AJB ever respond to my having pointed him to a prior post on Jim Sensenbrenner — and issue a retraction for his suggestion that I’d somehow be in support of censorious legislation or restrictions of internet liberty?
Patiently waiting…
Also, having union hacks go back on a story after a firestorm of controversy and the resultant death of a baby is hardly proof that nothing happened.
hardly proof
“So you’re admitting there’s a little bit of proof? Ha!” squeals AJB as he tongues his Transformers tumbler for the last few chunks of Nestles Quick.
FUAJB.
Yeesh, I get here late and someones already explained the whole bull-pin thing….I ain’t got much left in the old repetoire ya know!!
ajb? even an old worn out mechanic like myself can see the contradiction in your link. Why bother dude? You’d be better off writing your own blog, getting your own 2 digit psychophants ( did I spell that right? ) and then have THEM laugh at you.
Palin? I love her to death, but am on the ‘meh’ side of her Presidential aspirations ( IF she has any ) for the sole reason that the press would tear her to pieces. NO chance.
What does that spell???

“Indeed. Even Michael Savage is starting to warm up to Palin and her unflinching willingness to call a spade a spade. So to speak. And not there’s anything wrong with that.”
Too dull to be a spade, and not shovel ready. We gotta figure out what kinda tool Obama is.
By not not-running and having no fear of taking the rhetorical battle right at the Left she remains the irresistible bait in a monkey trap for them. They must quit her, drop her, but they cannot. That is one metaphor. Another would have her as a conservative reconnaissance-in-force.

Sarah Palin, bull-pin with lipstick.
And with two years to go, I question the credentials of anyone who attempts to diminish her credibility.
She can take a punch, that we know for certain. And she doesn’t back down or back off.
One wonders if the JFJ would rise as one to smote any of the sundry leftie trangressions against Jewish memory. I think the Congressional Progressive Caucus would yield profitable hunting. Don’t get me wrong–they love the reflexive Jewish votes and donations, but the Jewish faith and Israel, well, not so much.
Glenn Beck is an overwrought fool much of the time but he has his moments where he gets it right. Seeing Obama for his true colors and never shutting up about it 24-7 was probably the right thing to do.
Here about now is when we denounce Jeff for his inauthentic Jewish identity because he didn’t endorse the letter. So Jeff, please consider yourself denounced. You’ll be an Episcopal soon enough.
On a different note, that Jimmer Fredette is some sort of basketball player. Pistol Pete for a new day. Lordy Lord.

No, not “indifference”, a but a genuine desire for them to remain buried, the uncomfortable truths about the lies our leftist, Soviet-boot-licking Media were telling us all those years.
well you do 4 hours a day people will listen if it is not all doom/gloom and make fun of the situation.
I though they were silver because you just never know when you’re going to need to stake a vampire. Or a moocher.
You’d think that it would be utterly obvious that someone as obsessed with grammar as Loughner could not possibly be a Palin disciple. God bless her, but she’s got some pretty farked up syntax at times.

“Because like it or not, Palin is one of the most important voices in conservatism today.”
It helps when you already know what your detractors and enemies are going to say about you no matter what you say or do, and then decide that you don’t give a fig about their opinions.* ‘Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?’
Correct, Mrs. Palin. It was a speech chock-full of WTF goodness. Keep hittin’ them, Mrs. Palin. Hit them hard, and hit them again.
*As in ‘Our opinion of you would go up if you would just agree that you are vile and then go into a corner and kill yourself. Because you are worse than Hitler. Just admit that and die, you chillbilly cumslut.’
Or something like that.

Because like it or not, Palin is one of the most important voices in conservatism today.
I wonder if we can impose on her to “go first” on a 10 year budget plan, with discretionary cuts, entitlement reform, and smart security spending cuts. As Obama and Schumer have made clear, to the Left those important issues are for demagoguing purposes only. The establishment Republicans are hiding behind Ryan, and they have muzzled him. None of the other potential candidates seem to have the requisite stones to step up and say what need to be said.
#74: Egypt.
yes.
‘Where have you gone Dick Cheney
Our nation turns lonely eyes to thee
Oo, Oo, Eeee.’
Yep. When the going gets scary you want a real bad-ass riding next to you. Seriously – Barack Obama (Mr. Unicorn) or George Bush (Smoke ’em out); Joe Biden (Neil Kinnock has an injunction on any further joe biden quotes) or Dick Cheney (umpteen heart attacks and they still fear me!).
The metrosexual revolution – and even the NYT Style section has no idea what to do.
no cut the gov’t first. leave ss and medicare as the last thing. the islamocommies have nowhere to hide.
#77: The problem with a ten year budget plan is that no Congress goes for more than two years. The House has two year terms, and any spending bills have to originate in the House.*
*Yes, yes. The Senate can propose one and send it to the House, whcih can either agree and send it back to the Senate or change it, and then back to the Senate – but either way the House gets to be the one first in line on when the bill reaches the President.
I find it telling that Baracky can wag his finger at Mubarak, but can’t find his way to smack Ahmadinejad around while he’s stealing an election.
psychophants ( did I spell that right? )
Sycophants, but a spelling closer to “psychopants” is probably way more appropriate when it comes to the readership AJB would attract so I think you just coined an awesome neologism there.
Speaking of neologisms, Palin’s syntax may be farked but she speaks the language in a lovely natural way that isn’t as greasy on the ears as Obama’s polished manner, so I much prefer to listen to her. People who complain about her incomprehensibility are also people who claim that Judith Butler writes moving, tear-wrenching prose.
I leave people to draw their own conclusions from that. (Meanwhile I will attempt to claw out my own eyes at the thought of Judith Butler’s writing. gag.)
“fig-revealers” on a literal take, syco-phants, but the opposite of the Cervantean “a fig under my cloak for the king” types.
I sorta feel like I should get bonus points for not even knowing who Judith Butler is/was.
Judith Butler’s prose is absolutely turgid. And intentionally so, I might add.
I sometimes think she’d rather nobody bothered to figure out what she is saying, because at base it’s pedestrian and often silly.
From the images stored at Bing, she seems to be a lady what looks like a man bh. Outside a that, dunno.
I’m guessing she wrote those Twilight books.
Okay, I checked. Yeah, I’m unlikely to dive into any of that.
Tangentially, I actually dig some Jeanette Winterson. Well, I liked Written on the Body anyways. She also wrote a short story about gypsies who used sexual blackmail to force a suburban man into buying a pony that I really enjoyed.
Culture, I gots me a little.
This has me recalling The Nation’s description of Frances Fox Piven:
Oh, yeah. This is HAWT!

“Next, they bring false witnesses, who accuse him of blaspheming against God, Moses, the Law, and the Tabernacle. Aided by an angel, Stephen refutes every point, a refutation recounted in some detail. Finally, they try torture; still, Stephen attempts to convert them by inciting shame and fear in them, and by showing their love for him—he prays for his opponents as he is being stoned.”

And speaking of bring people together, Time has Obama and Reagan on the cover. This is what Obama “wrote” about Reagan in “his” book:
“When classmates in college asked me just what it was that a community organizer did, I couldn’t answer them directly,” Obama wrote. “Instead, I’d pronounce on the need for change. Change in the White House, where Reagan and his minions were carrying on their dirty deeds…”

It was just too good a catch to not mention (and counter the new narrative).
The new Obama loves Reagan meme of the week. Another example of “just how stupid do they think we are?”
From the above and to highlight one more thing.
“When classmates in college asked me just what it was that a community organizer did, I couldn’t answer them directly,” Obama wrote. “Instead, I’d pronounce on the need for change.”
All talk, no action, no answers. Ayup. Same as it ever was. And I’ll just note the word he used – pronounce. Bet he was doing his Mussolini pose, too.
