It’s the new black!
Oh. And speaking of crony capitalism and black, Sarah Palin chimes in — once again, ahead of the curve on this, and so helping to drive the national narrative.
And to think: she’s been able to do all this after maybe snorting coke and squatting on a point guard cock 25 or so years ago.
You’ve come a long way, baby!
Palin:
As I pointed out in my speech at the Reagan Ranch Center last February: “History has proven again and again, when government picks the winners and losers, we’re stuck with the losers, and we the taxpayers subsidize failure!” And that’s what we’re seeing now, as the FBI raids the solar energy company’s headquarters to glean more information after the company was handed half a billion dollars in “green energy” Stimulus funds from the American taxpayer only to later declare bankruptcy. More than one thousand Solyndra workers lost their jobs. Now as the truth comes out, we discover that the White House was heavily involved in the Department of Energy’s rushed decision to give the Stimulus funds to Solyndra, and they tried to move the money through so quickly they seem to have ignored concerns that the company was not viable. Why would they do this? Perhaps it’s because a large investor in the company (about 35%) is Obama campaign bundler George Kaiser. And with the way the deal is structured, Kaiser will get his debts paid before we the taxpayers see any relief. That is sickening. And that’s how it works: workers lose their jobs, wealthy political cronies stand a good chance of getting their money back, and the U.S. taxpayer gets the shaft. Again.
President Obama has his sights set on raising $1 billion for his reelection campaign. Raising that money won’t be easy. But if you can hand out other people’s money to friends, it must get a whole lot easier. This crony capitalism and government waste is at the heart of our economic problems. It will destroy us if we don’t root it out. It’s not just a Democrat problem or a Republican problem. It’s a problem of our permanent political class. This won’t stop until “we the people” say enough is enough, and we retire the permanent political class that votes for this.
Honestly. I sometimes wonder if she reads this site. And maybe just skips over the riffs about morning dumps and black cock fetishes.
Meh. Probably not.
If she read it, good thing you clean up the joint and quit with the cockslapping stuff.
This crony capitalism and government waste is at the heart of our economic problems.
that’s not even true this is all background noise what has ever been thus
it’s something else what’s changed
America is a spendy spendy reamed-out-by-a-point-guard whore nation… and it started in a cowardly whore Congress what appropriated monies to pick winners and losers
of course Obama gave the monies to a political ally – that’s exactly what it was appropriated for I think
She really is the black cock of doom on Facebook.
Honestly. I sometimes wonder if she reads this site.
I’ve never seen a picture of the two of you together. Just saying.
Of course it’s true. It’s the world of Liberal Fascism, and it’s the world of Chicago politics and pay for play.
Take you anti-vag blinders off. The spendy-spendy whore nation is just so. And Palin is calling it such — and indicting both parties for the of course part that never gets the public airing it should.
Hell, she even had people in the NYT agreeing with her.
COMPROMISE!
I think she’s confuzzling the symptom for the disease and I think your ridiculously ad hom attacks are silly when I was just for reals engaging the queen of duh’s ideas
any congress what gives any president the latitude to pick winners and losers is not in for much of a shock when America’s whore president turns around and rewards his friends
she’s just looking to run Meghan’s coward daddy’s campaign finance reform scam again is what this sounds like
Yeah, that’s probably it, happyfeet.
“ridiculously ad hom attacks”? Really?
The red velvet crumbs in your cooter must be making you irritable.
Obsessing still, Pikachu?
I am becoming convinced ‘feets is the voice in Andy Sullivan’s head.
I thought that dude was a two guard. He had one helluva stroke, that’s for sure anyhow.
if Sarah’s so perspicacious she should run for president I think and then people can weigh in on her brilliant thinkings with their votes!
run run rudolph sarah save the christmas!
Crony capitalisms is the disease and Sarah’s got the cure!
Maybe she’s content to drive the discussion and not get into the race so that people like you don’t get so frustrated that they start murdering hookers.
You never know, maybe Todd reads it for her.
A friend of mine tells me Todd was just seen boarding a plane in Anchorage, bound for LAX.
Says he looked pissed.
Run run pikachu.
we’ll see. So far what we do know is that her crony capitalism argument makes for a convenient cudgel for her to use to beat the Team R frontrunner with. So convenient that there’s something of a chicken and egg problem with respect to her enthusiasm for using it to “drive the discusiion” I think.
*discussion* I mean
She’s been talking about entrenched permanent political class and crony capitalism for quite some time. But you’re right: when she was taking on both in Alaska, she was probably doing it knowing that one day she might have to break it out on the GOP Presidential front runner, who she sneakily doesn’t mention in the essay.
(If the sarcasm stings, please don’t take it out on a hooker. Unless she’s willing. In which case, have at it)
She’s been talking about an “entrenched permanent political class” while endorsing Orrin Hatch and Meghan’s coward daddy.
The trust is gone.
Uh-oh, happy gets to the crux of it. To him, she’s calling out happy’s man. He really does have a strange fascination with male Texas governors.
the goal is to defeat bumble without putting a weaselwhore like Romney in our little white house
Mr. Governor Perry is the only one on the horizon what holds any promise of this
Team R ran a bunch of midgets and wackadoodles this cycle, so we have to go to war with the army we’ve got, even if it’s a low-rent white trash christer like Perry.
If there are crony aspects to the behavior of the government it’s surely bad and a wrong thing.
But it isn’t necessary to find cronyism to know that Government deciding to favor one unproven part of a market over another unproven (or proven, for that matter) part isn’t the purpose of Government. It simply isn’t the purpose of Government to attempt to guess what are promising economic novelties and what are not promising economic novelties, and in the failure to accurately divine the winners from the losers to willy-nilly waste the people’s tax monies as if that money were simply taken to a trash heap and burned. Such waste is fundamentally unjust. It’s wrong. It’s akin to fraud. And it harms everyone, to the extent that crooked allocation of investment dollars end up collapsing in a heap of fail, or go to inefficiently paying unnecessary billions in excess transportation fuel costs each year, for instance.
f Sarah’s so perspicacious she should run for president I think and then people can weigh in on her brilliant thinkings with their votes!
Newt doesn’t have a popsicle’s chance in hades of getting the nomination …
but I want him to continue in the debates because I like what I hear.
yes Mr. Newt should stay in cause of he’s very on the money so often
yes Mr. Newt should stay in cause of he’s very on the money so often
Jesus H Keeerist!! Mr. Newt is saying the same fucking things as Sarah!! Your hatred for this woman so consumes you that you can’t see the forest for the trees.
Get some help for fucks sake! You seem incapable of being objective about her in any way possible.
what are you talking about Sarah’s not even running for president she’s just braying at passersby
The griefer griefs. Grief, griefer, grief.
Braying at passersby? Really? Here I was thinking that she was shaping a lot of the discussion in the GOP primaries. Here I was thinking that she was driving home some important points that the professional Beltway types would prefer to sweep under the rug. Here I was thinking that she was saying, out loud and in a highly visible forum, the very things that Jeff’s been shouting to the wilderness for ten years.
You want braying at passersby, you should hang out at Mikey Moore’s place. Hell, the two of you could bond over cupcakes.
cupcakes are out… except for the hot buttered popcorn one and the oh happy day with sprinkes one I had yesterday. Right now I’m exploring an upscale armenian/russian market called Olive Fresh Garden Marketplace … so far I’ve mostly had the meat/cheese type pastries not the sweet ones… also they have tons of cool Russian vodkas – ones I want to try are the mulberry and the apricot flavored ones
also I found a cool snack there called “walnut rope with syrup” it’s a sort of round length of walnuts covered in not-really-sweet chewy gummi syrup – it works really nicely on a cheese platter and adds a nice color to the plate
The only alcohol I bought so far is a bottle of quince wine what had a cool bottle… here it is! – but I haven’t tasted it yet

Congrats, happyfeet. With one single sentence, you’ve managed to sum up your entire existence.
see I welcome you into my life and share with you my adventures and what do you do you just piss all over it
but if you must know it would have been rude to buy more alcohols cause of my sister was with me and she had brought me tasty vodkas already what she got from duty-free to where I don’t have to pay taxes on it to the greedy whorestate of california
but I wanted to try something new while I was there so I settled on a modest bottle of wine with a neat bottle to where it didn’t look like I was spurning my sister’s thoughtful gifts
Quite.

HF,
You have a job, right? I mean, the sort that pays money in return for work, right?
He’s in marketing and communications, Roddy. The marketing part is how he stays so in tune with what Real Americans are thinking, and the communications part is how he wins us over to his point of view so effortlessly.
She’s very consistent with her stated positions.
I bet she would enjoy a tasty walnut rope with syrup
Hatch had his find Jesus moment. And last speech I heard from Palin, she took a few veiled shots at McCain.
whaaa? McCain is a war hero who does she think she is
She needs to take some not-so-veiled shots at McCain. I still don’t trust her and she needs to STFU about my man Rick Perry.
Hatch had his find Jesus moment.
Good. Now take him out in the primary lest he lose his way and fall back into error.
Honeybadger knows his own.
Speaking of…
on twitter last night.
“Honeybadger was reported to #attachwatch and didn’t give a shit.”
Damn funny.
@44 Perry needs to show he can take a hit.
