A Chicken Is Not Pillage

What He Said

I've been accused many times of being "afraid" of Sarah Palin.  Every single leftist, librul, Democrat out there in this great nation has.  It's no surprise at all.  It's the only defense left to the dupes who have been silly enough to be snookered by the Wasilly Grifter.  And though it's enjoyable to feign fear that she might actually be handed the reigns of power ... it simply will not happen.  And, not to put too fine a point on it, fear of the merely imaginable is more the domain of the Republicants then it is of mine.

Take it away, August:

My point is, Palin now enjoys being famous without having to do anything, and makes tons of money. Being president means you have to do stuff, and make significantly less than a private sector salary. And while I cannot believe I'm saying this, at least give George W. Bush some credit for having some business acumen. What think tank or policy group will want Palin? She's a spokesmodel, and she's making millions to be one right now. Why would she give that up?

Quote Of The Day

Listening to her (Palin) speak is like Free Republic Mad Libs.

A Box of Rocks *IS* Smarter Than She Is

Palin defenders invariably point to the gotcha question asked of Caribou Barbie by Katie Couric concerning her reading habits.  Unfair, they claim.  The media is out to get her, they wail.  To me, the magazine question wasn't indicative of Palin's lack of intelligence or curiosity; her resoponse was telling for it's petulance and poor character.

No, the tells concerning the Moose Huntress' inept understanding are that she fails to recognize even the most basic facts concerning the halls of power she most lusts to wink her way through.  When she bluffed her way, poorly, through Matt Lauer's question concerning the Bush doctrine, that was a real clue as to her completely clueless nature.  Again, the Palin faithful will bring up the walking gaffe that is Joe Biden.  Biden's gaffe's are frequently silly, but not often uninformed.  He usually says too much that's a little too true.  Palin, on the other hand, just doesn't know shit.  And she exihibits that lack of quality time and time again.

As to whether another pursuit for national office, as when she joined Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., in the race for the White House less than a year ago, would result in the same political blood sport, Palin said there was a difference between the White House and what she had experienced in Alaska. If she were in the White House, she said, the "department of law" would protect her from baseless ethical allegations.

"I think on a national level, your department of law there in the White House would look at some of the things that we've been charged with and automatically throw them out," she said.

There is no "Department of Law" at the White House.

I can't wait to see who she would pick to run the Department of Hunting.

Palin/Bachmann in '12!

Some folks will be dissecting the Rube Goldberg machine of the McCain campaign for many years to come; mostly because several of it's wingnuts and broken gears have been re-purposed for our amusement.  Though I applaud the diligence of the journalists who will continue to study the egos of those that derailed an otherwise poor Presidential run, there really isn't much that I wish to write about it.  My view of it all sums up very quickly, and is penned vastly better than ever I could, by TBogg.

I agree with Jason Zengerle that you have to feel kind of bad for  McCain strategist Steve Schmidt even if he did have a hand in picking the Nome Nitwit as McCain's running mate. As a candidate, McCain was shit-on-a-stick and rolling him in the nuts that is the Palin snowbilly circus sideshow didn't make him any more appealing. But, in the face of the Obama Megatron Steamroller,  the McCain campaign had little choice but to throw the Hail Mary pass that was Bible Spice and then pray that they could keep the media at bay by dazzling them with winks and Wasilla Valley cornpone.

UPDATE:  Just so's we're clear about where I'm coming from:

DRAFT BACHMANN!  But for the VP run, not a mere crazy-ass Governor.

No Honor Among Political Thieves Either

Partners in crime really ought to like each other, don'tcha think?  You betcha ...

That scurrilous dog, Cap'n T'Bogg, had hisself a fine fine notion.  Seems the guvner has hisself a lapdog as likes to profit off the pains o' our womenfolk.  But there be a fine way, fine indeed, to let this cur know we pirate folk will na' stand fer her outrage!  Do as Cap'n TBogg commands, n' send yer dubloons to Planned Parenthood, in the name o' that foul wretch, Sarah Palin.  May we sink her to the reeking bottom of Davey Jones locker, Arrr!
