Make Palin a Verb!

In a surprise move today, representatives from Al Qaeda met with Congressional leaders to request a $10 billion dollar bailout package. The meeting, at an undisclosed location, came amid reports that the terrorist organisation responsible for the 911 attacks was struggling financially as a result of the global economic crisis.

“We’re broke, basically,” says Farouk al-Hassan, spokesman for the group. “Terrorism is expensive at the best of times, but when even legitimate lines of credit start to dry up, it’s very difficult to get decent prices on Stinger missiles and Nikes packed with Semtex.”

Twas Inauguration — or, A Visit From Obama (apologies to C.C. Moore, and all of you)

Twas Inauguration, and in the White House,

Not a Neocon stirred, not one Leo Strauss.

The Democrats were lined up on Penn Ave. with care,

In hopes that Obama soon would be there.

I really wish that Mrs. Palin had at least some ability to speak coherently. Watching her defend her statements just makes me cringe. Apparently, Terry doesn’t think much of it either. Thanks to Matt Phillip for sending this my way.

Dasvedanya Baby!

Reading Is Fundamental

I hope to see you again Sarah.
Love Alex.

This clip from Fox News must be seen to be believed (how can the governor of any state not know that Africa is a continent?). Ponderous. I imagine we will be getting truckloads more of this in the coming days [ed: Your first morning delivery of McCain-Palin infighting is here from the NYT]:

Update: Here is another video of Cameron on O’Reilly:

Cameron restates a lot of the same claims as he does in the previous video. I think that the best thing to come out in this video (@ 5:25) is that Randy Scheunemann was fired because he didn’t like people Nailin’ Palin. LOL!!

UPDATE: These charges are from a “small bitter type of person”. Funny, most of the small people I’ve tasted have been quite tasty. Someone must have prepared this one wrong or maybe it grazed on too many dandelions.

The odds for Sarah’s run for president in 2012 have been published.

Ireland’s leading online bookmaker, Paddy Power (US customers prohibited at this time) has wasted little time posting odds on the 2012 US Presidential election, making Sarah Palin a 3-1 favorite to get the Republican nominee, followed by Mitt Romney at 5-1 odds. Palin is also listed with the next best odds (7-1) after President-Elect Barack Obama, to become the next US President. She is listed with better odds than Hillary Clinton (10-1). We can also anticipate a wide list of novelty bets involving Palin, probably in the next few weeks.

So should we keep the MPAV movement and palined.com going?

For some reason I think she is serious here.

I thought the Palin Doctrine would say one thing and mean exactly the opposite.

Early in the race, before the primaries, I thought that maybe the Republicans were trying to lose the election and Congress. The reasoning for my prediction was that the last eight years have put this country into such a hole that it will definitely take more than four years to recover; most Americans have a short attention span and no patience; therefore, the Republican party will use the fact that the Democrats have not fixed all of the problems against them in the next midterm and presidential elections.

John McCain taking an early lead in the primary season was perfect for this.
His more centrist view and “straight talk” made him popular, but he wasn’t a perfect match for the party’s conservative social values, and the neoconservatives did not like him. With McCain, the nominee would be someone who would not win in 2008 - but in 2012 a new neocon will be put before America with the tag line “We tried it their way”.

The Masked Avengers called Sarah Palin and made her believe that she was speaking to French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

listen here

My favorite part:

Masked Avengers: I love the documentary they made on your life, you know Hustler’s Nailin’ Paylin?
Sarah Palin: Ohh, good, thank you! yes.
MA: It was very edgy

Full Transcript.

update: replaced the audio that cut off early with full clip.

Alec Baldwin was a guest on the Late Show with David Letterman yesterday and he was asked about the SNL appearance with Palin.

Baldwin was very diplomatic throughout the interview up until the end where he calls her Bible Spice. LOL!

The Talking Points Memo has an interesting graphic of Republicans and conservative publications that have endorsed Barack Obama since Sarah’s nomination. If you mouse over the images in TPM’s graphic it will pop up a quote the individuals and papers said about Sarah Palin.

Rush Limbaugh had some interesting things to say about these same people.

Well, they have gone, and I, for one, say, “Damn well good riddance!”

And he said this about our dear Sarah.

Well, make her the head of the party, for one thing! That might be a good idea. “In the past I’ve not been one to be considered for anything by the hierarchy of the party, certainly not in my state. In some sense, I ran against them in my party,” and she’s doing it again now!

Yes! Please make her head of the party!! Nominate her for President in 2012 too.

We own palined.com, palining.com and palinthis.com. I’d hate to think that our hard earned $28 were wasted on the endeavor.

The Talking Points Memo put up this video of excerpts from this past Sunday’s talk shows. It makes me giggle.

John McCain says that stories of Sarah going rogue are “baloney” that “Sarah and I could not be working more closely together, We’re on the same team. A couple of mavericks aren’t going to agree on everything.” in this Christian Science Monitor article.

But, the best part of the story is this cartoon:

Maybe I need to Photoshop Palin as Bluto to go with the picture I did of John.

I think I would have enjoyed this better if the video was of Bedevere instead of Thomas Muthee, but beggars can’t be choosers.

NY Times Article.

The Oval Office is a “bummer free zone”.

…can you see what is wrong? Take a minute, I’ll wait.

Need a hint?

I really wish Sarah would have done this rap herself but I think that she is a pretty good sport for letting them do it at all.
