2008 USP(G)ET pt. II: counting the days to 2012 primary thread 1

Palins come from Idaho really, so CLOSE. For the Minnesota Special you need that unique combination of Scandinavian farm spawn and sloppy diction.

My mother just had to be told that she is the only person pushing 'Biden to drop' rumours that I know and that such things are lame. She also thinks Obama is going to be slammed with Wright stuff again and/or they're going to tar/feather him about supposed ACORN affiliations.

She is clearly watching too much Fox and/or regurgitating the Freep shit her Vietnam-vet SO used to try sending to me before I told him it was crazy shit for crazy people.

I've never been to eastern Idaho, but I know the west side of Idaho sounds neutral as well, fwiw.

Honestly, I think Palin's accent is from Palinia

"new", "fresh", "energy" are all great, positive things and words and feelings in any old order so GO SARAH imho.

lol you guys arent even saying whats so lolzy about that clip

Oh no, it's nothing negative at all. He's got a lot of experience and just stating the fact there, that we've been hearing his speeches for all these years. So he's got a tremendous amount of experience and, you know, I'm the new energy, the new face, the new ideas and he's got the experience based on many many years in the Senate and voters are gonna have a choice there of what it is that they want in these next four years.

THIS ELECTION IS ABOUT A NEW FACE AND NEW IDEAS VERSUS SOME OLD COOT WHO HAS BEEN IN THE SENATE MANY MANY YEARS.... MCCAIN/PALIN 08!!!!

I figured the lolz were based on her not making a lick of sense

and what otm

I think absently telling people that they should vote for your opposition because they are just like you is pretty lolzy.

for me the lolz are about her not realizing she's describing mccain vs obama when making the case for her vs biden - its ridiculous to claim the lol-he-old joke in the speech was innocuous if you listen to the way she says it + audience laughter, and even her attempt to defuse it is about bidens MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY YEARS IN TEH SENATE

you missed the point, andwhat, she's saying Palin/McCain '08

i mean i know we're all caught up in palin-is-incoherent lolz but lets not let that overshadow that she has many other ways of embarrassing herself

This is just too easy for SNL

i hope from now until election day snl contains at least one weekly sketch that is just tina fey repeating exactly what sarah palin that week

she has many other ways of embarrassing herself

Janet Jackson-style wardrobe malfunction?

I think Lorne Michaels created the Palinbot and used his connections to get her into the McCain campaign for maximum lolz.

xp: uh

guys Sarah Palin works on many levels

so do janitors

apparently the clip that CBS is sitting on is one of Palin being unable to name a Supreme Court case other than Roe v. Wade

about bidens MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY YEARS IN TEH SENATE

i imagine to her supporters, this is the most damaging thing she can hurl at him -LOL A WASHINGTON FATCAT IS HE!

she's gotta be making the most ardent supporter grimace by now

apparently the clip that CBS is sitting on is one of Palin being unable to name a Supreme Court case other than Roe v. Wade

yeah that seems to have been confirmed by reputable sources. I'm just wondering about this "cheney shot his friend" thing that got repeated, but then I had a pretty hard time tracking down where that came from.

Yeah they ask her to name another case and she doesn't fumble or stumble, she just sits there in silence like a deer in the headlights.

fwiw I'd bet most Americans can't name any other cases either

Moose v. Hick

AMAZING

xpost not really relevant even if it's true. most americans aren't running for almost-president

she's gotta be making the most ardent supporter grimace by now

Her most ardent supporters are already grimacing because they've been having nonstop orgasms since she was named to the ticket.

xps: oh come on, Brown vs Board of Education? Plessy vs Ferguson?

Her most ardent supporters are already grimacing because they've been having nonstop orgasms since she was named to the ticket.

my point exactly - her most ardent supporters are right-wing men who want to see her bodacious ta-tas.

yeah lots of people know brown v. board, i'd wager

being a fundie ud figure shed know dred scott

Shakey may well be right. the thing is, we expect anyone in national office to be part of the minority that can name plessy or brown.

Well, we expect anyone in national office to be part of that minority. A large chunk of America wants their leaders to be good at partying.

what does Dred Scott have to do with fundies?

Funcies have slaves, didn't you know?

this is zogby--aren't zogby's results always nuts--but still, lol

xpost: what is a funcie

Fundies

Funcies makes them sound way more adorable though, they should change the name.

dred scott is pro-life code now

yah drawing a parallel between it and roe v wade is a super common argument in fundieland

bush even gave it shout out during a 2004 debate http://www.thenation.com/doc/20041101/pollitt

biden doesn't have boobies tho

you better believe he does

anyone driving the "normal people don't know a thing about the supreme court" argument should be arrested without being properly mirandized

so... the argument is that fetuses, like Dred Scott in the days of slavery, are not currently recognized as having any rights, or something...? Women claiming to "own" fetuses is akin to slavemasters "owning" slaves...?

sorry I am kinda surprised this inherently specious logic has obtained any kind of legal foothold whatsoever

I'm not excusing people's ignorance - I'm just pointing out that not being able to name a Supreme Court case probably isn't all that damning to the average American so what's the big deal.

it hasn't obtained legal foothold, it's obtained popular foothold with pro-lifers

I mean do you think Dubya could've named one prior to his first term? I fucking doubt it.

at this point palin isn't really about the opinion of "the average american" except as much as we can horrify conservatives harriet miers style into rebuking her, which then filters down to the average american

i bet dubya could've named one in october of 2000, yes
