Shorter Ann Althouse On Eva Palin

The problem with people at heavily screened rallies who say crazy, hateful things prompted by Sarah Palin saying hateful, crazy things isn’t anything that’s actually said – it’s the press reporting on it. This may be one of the weirdest things I’ve ever heard someone comment about this election: By…

The Rise Of The Moostapo

Sarah Palin is amassing an army of horny, angry middle aged white people who will bravely shout racist things at black camera people. Barack Obama, she told 8,000 fans at a rally here Monday afternoon, “launched his political career in the living room of a domestic terrorist!” This followed her…

Daddy Dobson lays out his priorities – and shares his glorious view of Palin

The press releases haven’t exactly been churning out of the Focus on Your Family machine at breakneck speed these days, so it’s news when Daddy D features some of his bleatings. In his latest newsletter, he reiterates the importance of the Supreme Court in this election, something we know the…

Something Dumber

Sarah Palin says that Obama is friendly with terrorists. This is, of course, the already discredited Ayers stuff. The telling dynamic here is that Palin, who’s managed to build up a land speed record reputation for saying nonsensical shit, is the one stuck holding the public bag on Obama-as-spiritual-heir to…

Rich Lowry buffs his banana for Sarah Palin – and shares

As Kos said, there’s something wrong with these people; he’s referring to emotionally and sexually stunted conservatives like The National Review’s Rich Lowry. Rich basically described for America how he spanked the monkey while watching Sarah Palin wink at him through the TV set during the debate last night. A…

Post-Debate Wrapup

The polls agree with me: Biden won pretty easily last night. The conservative spin coming out of this is that Palin reinvigorated the entire campaign and will save McCain from himself, carrying the ticket back to electoral parity or better. Then woodland elves will dance merrily into the glade and…

Haley Barbour: Palin is ‘normal,’ unlike other female politicians

This sexist whopper out of good-old-boy Mississippi Governor (and McCain pal) Haley Barbour’s mouth is breathtaking: “My wife loves her because…she doesn’t have a chip on her shoulder like some women politicians, she is very ‘normal’ — she doesn’t have to tell you how smart she is. But she is…

Questions about Sarah Palin’s faith that deserve to be answered

Attention right wing: if you want to dip back into the tired Rev. Wright brouhaha in your desperation to avoid discussing the economy, please go ahead; that will make it A-OK to move this Palin matter into the spotlight. Please watch this entire video. It’s about 10 minutes long, and…

Two ads hit hard on McCain/Palin

First up — Nurses union goes after McCain’s health – ‘One Heartbeat Away.’ You can’t say this McCain flatliner ad by the 85,000-member National Nurses Organizing Committee/California Nurses Association doesn’t go right to the point: The nation’s largest union of registered nurses this morning unveiled a striking new television ad…

But Why?

Sarah Palin: so popular that her time’s better spent not doing events in front of people. The problem with Palin is that her entire presence on the national stage has been explained to us the same way you’d explain the concept of a bus to a three year old. Why…
