Got back late from the Assembly meeting. Tried to get a post up but am falling asleep at the keys.
Testimony was taken at the meeting until 11:00, and will continue at another meeting next Tuesday.
Pictures and writeup tomorrow morning…..
ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz…..
Oops! I inadvertently put an html thingy in the previous post – it ate a sentence and then turned everything italic. Meno to self: don’t do that again.
Prejean said something like: Well, I guess I should have said, OK, you guys can get married.
Or something like that.
Saw a follow-up story about former Miss Cali Prejeanm and part of her statement was something like . And then acted as if she had no idea what The Donald was talking about re: not doing her duties.
Two peas in a pod, Prejean and Palin – never their fault. Can’t seem to figure out how their actions, their decisions end up causing RE-actions that hurt them, and worse in the case of Palin, those around her.
Palin pops off to People in Dec. “Levi’s not a dropout, he’s in an electrician apprenticeship”. WHOOPS! Not now. If you had kept your mouth shut, though, maybe he still would be.
I had hopped Gov. Palin would be smart enough not to try to run for Pres. in 2012, but sadly, I cannot think why else she organized her little “Rainbow Tour”. I don’t see how any of it would help a re-run for the Governor’s chair in 2010.
Speaking of “Rainbow Tour” from Evita, actually it was Mr. Terps who put that one in my head after I read him the Meg Stapleton/Why would you pull a move like that on someone who drew a crowd of 20,000 earlier in the day? statement:
“Auburn has fallen for the charms of Guv Palin
She can do what she likes it doesn’t matter much
She’s a new world madonna with a grasping touch.
She filled the streets with about twenty thousand people
But if you’re prettier than Newty Gingrich, that’s not hard”
(apologies to Tim Rice)
Okay, watched the Letterman bit.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/11/letterman-responds-to-pal_n_214128.html
He wiped the floor with Palin. He’s had 30 years of experience with this stuff. It was a bit pathetic. He was having a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent. I thought I’d spew when he attempted to read her response verbatim. You can’t read a transcript of Letterman. You have to watch him and listen for the timing.
He’s baiting her. He’s goading her. He invited her on the show again. It was a challenge. And she’ll do it. And he’ll do to her what he did to John McCain. He’ll be very polite. And her career will be over.
The Kathleen Parker article in the Post invited discussion, and since the link has been posted many times I won’t add it yet again, but there was a very important comment that was asked/pointed out and Kathleen responded to it with perfection and really does sum up Palin’s problems with her attire/attitude.
Re: Letterman: Listen, Letterman is a comedian. Comedians that don’t go over the line are not funny. If you said she looks slutty, that’s over the line. If I say it, it’s over the line. Why wouldn’t Letterman say it – have you been on a plane?
Kathleen Parker: I don’t have a problem with raunchy humor, but time and place are everything. In a nightclub, fine. But Letterman is sort of an American institution. It just seems to me that when a woman is running for public office, we should avoid sexualizing her.
Okay, I censored myself before so I’ll say it now. I also think it’s out of line for a woman to sexualize her candidacy, which Palin did. Just ask Rich Lowry, who wrote that he had to sit up a little straighter when she winked during the vp debate. So, maybe when you play the flirt and invite males to see starbursts bouncing off the walls (Lowry again), then maybe you invite the sexual punchline. I’m wobbling here.
She DID sexualize her candidacy and continues to do so, but cannot understand the comments made. Since her return from the campaign she has gone out of her way to sexualize herself even more. Palingates has a timeline of her clothing choices before/during/after the campaign and it is obvious that she is attempting to use her looks to attract attention.
His bottom line, for me, is that it is too late to fix global warming to save humans. Very soon, within the next 40 years, the temperature will be unlivable in the currently temperate zones. It isn’t that 700 million people will be moving, it is that only about 550 million of our nearly 7 Billion population will survive the temperature increase. I went home from the conference and apologized to my children.

At an Oil & Ice Conference last year the keynote speaker announced that the melting arctic ice would open the Northwest Passage, thus reducing shipping costs from the current route by 8,000 miles. [This would be so economically good for Alaska!] He also put up the graphic about the projected greenhouse gasses and the actual rise of those greenhouse gasses. Which are exceeding the predictions.
It is important to note that this was a business conference and the keynote speaker was from the Federal Minerals Management program.
His bottom line, for me,

If Sarah thinks she can “beat” David Letterman, she is in for a rude awakening. David Letterman will never apologize. He’ll just make her the butt of more jokes. The last thing Sarah should ask for is for attention because if he finds all that video of her introducing Michael Reagan by plagiarizing Newt Gingrich, she will be in for a fine roasting. I don’t think Letterman likes her. He likes John McCain. And look what Letterman did to him.
As for Prejean. She’s unemployed now. And….doesn’t Sarah have to appoint a new state Supreme Court Justice? Hmmmm?
Last week, I was driving on the freeway and ran into the beginnings of a tornado.
The funnel cloud came down to about 200 feet above ground and then scooted back up into the storm cell.
A wall of wind hit my car and shook me pretty good, then branches and other debris flew by for about 2 minutes. Lightning struck the ground about 30 yards away , then hailstones the size of marbles, then a deluge of rain (4 inches in about 20 minutes) and more lightning strikes.
This video from a nearby town shows some of the wind and you have to look carefully at the white blob to make out the funnel cloud form.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30CyjzGQvnw
50,000 homes were left without power in the wake of the storm, some for as much as 2 days.
Never in Oregon. Never especially in June. Never have I ever seen this kind of thing happen.

Gov. Palin’s Shout-Out On The Colbert Report: WTF..

heckling???
I was asking myself this question the other day when reading a story about all the Progressive AK bloggers working together.
The question is…. are there and GOP bloggers or websites in Alaska…?
(sea pee doesn’t count- they are Not from AK)
If there aren’t… isn’t that a little strange..?
oh, now she’s all hush hush, cuz now! she’s workin for the state, she’s not all about herself, accept she is, always will be……..

I’m hearing you! Dumb Pageant runners-up all think alike in that they don’t.
If she went on the show, he’d better have some cool ranch or peppercorn or spicy french ready to put on that word salad she’ll serve up.
btw – why is there so much secrecy in so much of what she does? is she operating the state government in the same fashion as the politiboro? perhaps that’s why she can see Russia from her house!!

I don’t think she will ever go on the show! Dave would read the same jokes all over again to explain why she was there. He might ask her some tough questions, she won’t go!
“Anyone on East Coast watching Letterman…pretty please.”
Yep … and if SP had just ignored it, DL wouldn’t have had to use all three jokes again tonight … in order to defend himself. To spread them around to a whole bunch more people who didn’t hear them the first time.
He read both Todd and Sarah’s statements on the air, and said he agreed with them …
but …
while I think his apology could have been a little more apologetic, he made it perfectly clear that he was not making sex jokes about their 14-year-old-daughter, and would not do that to any 14-year-old (“It’s not funny”).
But best move of all – he invited her to be on the show.
John McCain had the guts to go on after he had ditched Letterman for Couric (and ‘rushing’ back to DC to save the American economy). And what did he do? He said “I screwed up”. Anyone wanna place odds on ever hearing those words come out of SP’s mouth?
And after the Letterman interview, I can’t wait to see her interviewd by George Stephanopolous. And David Gregory, and Bob Scheiffer. And when visiting Miami, Michael Putney.
And again, we have the crossover of Meg/SarahPac giving statements about the Governor’s supposed “work”

She can’t negotiate, but is probably going to do it anyway and give everything up to the oil companies. Over confident and incompetent. Couldn’t even be the mayor of a 7000-person town without a city manager and still left wassilly in massive debt with a sports center scandal to boot. Also. Too.
Sounds like her stop in Chicago to meet up with the reps of Transcanada on her way to her meeting in Evansville, Indiana where her and Steele gave speeches. Which was at the same time as the W.A.R. confirmation and a few days left in the legislative session. No one knew about the stop. Like Bush, everything with Palin is secretive.
Someone should send Letterman a video clip of Palin saying “Screw political correctness” at the Anchorage event…..
He’d probably put it to excellent use….

The governor’s office would only say no announcement is forthcoming from Palin.
—————————————————–
Of course no announcement. They need a couple weeks to put spin on this baby.
I’d like to comment on a couple of things that caught my eye but haven’t seen any posts about:
1. When GINO introduced Michael Reagan, we all saw her walk off the stage on her right side and shortly after, he walked on from the other side.
Why? I don’t think he wanted to be photographed with her! Any other thoughts of why? I’ve never seen a politician introduce someone in this manner. Usually, the person announcing introduces the visting celebrity and s/he walks out and greets the announcer, they embrace, then they walk off stage. Right?
2. At the Yankee Stadium baseball game, did you notice Guiliani sat next to his wife and put GINO on the other side of her? Can you believe this? In sequence it was…Todd, GINO, the wife, and Guiliani! GINO had to talk over the wife to get to Guiliani. Is this funny or what?
Tee Hee…
I didn’t really think his statement was caving to the Palins, he said he would never in a million years make that kind of jokes about a 14 year old!
Isabella – who the hell is NEGOTIATING for her? I know dang well the Gov. can’t do it alone.

Reads joke about palin as a slut “I like that joke he said”
wimp… he shoulda told more off-color jokes about them!
He’s on about it again, mmboucher.
Addressing comments the Palin’s made in response… he has not specifically addressed The Dud’s claim that he joked about raping a 14-y.o.
And now he’s repeating the jokes… hahahahaaaaa. …
spitzer joke… haven’t heard from spitzer.
objective is to get a laugh.
yankees game… knocked up by A-Rod…
now… I recognize these are ugly and borderline. but in an act of desperation… but why didn’t we hear from Alex Rodriguez?
These are not jokes about the 14 – y.o.
Girl who was knocked up is 18… not 14. That would not be funny.
Top 10… okay… now… drinks… I kinda like that joke. puts card to the side…
There are thousands of jokes I regret on this program. Am I guilty of poor taste? yes.
Invites Palin onto the program.
Next… stupid human tricks!
(She lacks the balls to do so is my guess.)
Just checking in. Looks like I missed a bunch of stuff. Thanks Lee323 for the link re: the crazy at the museum.
Our Sarah didn’t think she was doing anything wrong when she was making inflammatory speeches to the masses. Incidents like this make it clear how unacceptable that was and is.
#270 SystemBucker,
She should be held to the standard that she has chosen! I’m amazed that people are bowing down to her complaints. So disgusting! You don’t even have to go to all of her gates to see the inconsistensies and lies. Gawd, what a gash! If she thinks that we should “screw political correctness” then it should apply to her as well. Not just when it is convenient for her.
Just watched Letterman, he said Palin was furious with him, she called him pathetic and he felt really bad. He said I went out spent $150,000 on cclothes for myself and I felt a lot better. He has not apologized yet!

Heard on NPR today that as many as 700M people may be relocating in the next 50-100yrs due to rising sea levels. Some people on south Pacific islands already are having to evacuate their homes with no chance of returning. Sometimes, I am glad to be old.

Karin @ 272 – my question is “what useful or informed advice can Sarah provide to Prejean?”
Answer: not much.
The problem I have with Shepherd Smith’s speech about the emails he and others receive is that he blames the internet but I’d suggest he might want to hold a mirror up to what’s tossed out their via all the Faux News shows such as O’Reilly’s ad nauseam on Tiller and all the other shows too.
I have no desire to thank Smith for what he said as he missed the mark totally. He only has to look around the building he works in to see and hear the hate rhetoric

@ Seagull JP
———————————–
Well-written post by Feldman. HuffPo also has a story on Shepherd Smith (Fox News) commenting that the anti-Obama emails are getting “more and more frightening.” Violent talk has escalated and is even enjoying the tacit and, in some cases open, approval of the “leaders” of the losers of the 2008 election.
I can just hear Palin’s ignorant quote to Hannity resonating through the rabid right…”We told ya so.” That quote… with the implied underlying attitude….is not only a subtle form of “approval” rhetoric but smacks of self-righteous justification to the likes of those who murdered Dr. Tiller and the guard at the museum.
Ok, I just can’t stand it anymore. Saying that a politician’s daughter got knocked up, while true, is politically incorrect. Making fun of a politician who has “issues” with problematic relationships is politically incorrect. Implying that the politician couldn’t keep his eyes off of a minor is politically incorrect.
Lots of things said in public are politically incorrect. It shouldn’t be done. It’s wrong. But GINO, while introducing a man who thinks that shoving grenades up a baby’s butt is ok, said, while wearing hoshoes, “Screw political correctness.”
But for GINO, it’s not ok for Letterman to make statements that are politically incorrect when it impacts her?!?! I am angry that Letterman thought he should apologize. She, in saying “screw political correctness, said “bring it” and he “brung it” and now she thinks he’s pathetic?!?! She asked for it and now she want to play a victim. I hope that she goes on his show and he presents her head on a plate! I’m so tired of her wanting it both ways.
(actually, when you look at the “pathetic” statement, she is really insulting herself for being of such little interest to engender such statements since it was a slow news day and she was of little importance)
Lee @ 255 – there’s a women’s clinic terrorist up in Allentown who is a Palin supporter as well. Watch Rachel Maddow for more on John Dunkle.
Hey, wait… I blogged about him awhile ago. And he posted a response to my comments!!
AGIA?? The pipeline?
Why am I not surprised… way to waste public money, Palin!!
dang… was wondering where all my troopers went off to.
I am naming the chipmunk Sarah… evil, she is. Yes, she is.
I find it telling that in the last hour I’ve been watching tv and surfing CNN, MSNBC and FIX, FIX (Hannity) did not even mention the Museum shooting. I was going back and forth, but I”m pretty sure he didn’t go there. I’m done with tv for now but I’m guessing Gretta will not be covering it either. Are they in denial or purposely not reporting it to their sheeple. I am amazed.
Alaska Reports……………reporting that AGIA is dead. 500mil lost. What a boondoggle.
Lee, I searched on HuffPo for other articles by Jeffrey Feldman and found a recent one.

It’s interesting that his scope of work focuses on hate speech in politics….
Lee323
Palin probably had a 91 percent among those the same as von Brunn
Holocaust shooter, James von Brunn: “The same Media went to great lengths to scandalize & destroy Sarah Palin. She maintains a 91% approval rating among voters from all parties, thanks to the Internet and investigative journalists who don’t work for the mainstream media.”
Jeffery Feldman “This letter suggests von Brunn was a supporter of Sarah Palin and parroted lines about “media deception” the Palin campaign used in the 2008 election and still uses to this day in interviews.” (snip)……..”During that campaign, Palin was repeatedly criticized for accusing the Obama administration of ‘socialism’ and ‘communism’–words literally peppered throughout white-supremacist conspiracy literature about Jews taking over the country.”
http://jeffrey-feldman.typepad.com/frameshop/2009/06/dc-holocaust-museum-shooting.html
——————————————————————————–
Note: von Brunn also had on his website that he was a member of Mensa, the high-IQ society.
I guess von Brunn’s high IQ faltered a bit on polling statistics. He got it backwards….Palin’s approval rating is more like 19% and falling instead of 91%.

Oh now KO is asking if “slutty was really needed” ???????
In regards to the Letterman quips about Sarah and Willow, I don’t find it’s funny, and it’s tasteless. But, that’s what David and comedians, commentators are all about, decadent comedy at everyone’s expense, especially those who are in the limelight. Now, the Palin’s, including father Todd, have a responsibility to their kids. They can’t have it both ways. They know that the spotlight will result in negative press like this. So, the people who need to stop the negative press are WHO? the Palin’s. They’ve got to choose. What do they want? What is their priority? Their children’s lives, or their ambition?
Am pretty certain that Sarah is driving for the prize, knowing full well that she and family members will be mercilessly lampooned. It’s unfortunate, but that’s life. So, do these Letterman words REALLY bother indignant Sarah? The proof is in the pudding. She CAN put a stop to it by stepping down politically, and it’s no one’s fault if she doesn’t.

Did anyone else notice that in the JZ–Contessa Brewer interview, JZ accuses David Letterman of calling SP a slut? Maybe a minor point, but Letterman only mentions her “slutty flight attendant LOOK.” IMO, that’s not the same thing. In fact…that’s a Candie’s slogan, isn’t it? “You can look sexy without having sex.” The company that her own daughter is being paid by, in other words, is making the claim that you can look slutty without being a slut.

Great Find !!
The recent domestic violence is very frightening. There’s an article on huffpo regarding “scary” emails Shepard Smith has been receiving, it’s worth the read. Sarah is in the gang that is inciting this sort of thing. Riling up the wingnuts, etc. Shepherd also commented on “hate blogs”. These include foxnation & gretawire, where any kind of hate directed towards the president goes. I’ve emailed greta how she should be ashamed letting her bloggers call our president & 1st lady gorillas, President Obama a halfbreed & Michelle a hag. She’s partially responsible for these wingnuts & needs to moderate her hate blog. Instead of kicking off people with different opinions, she needs to not post the hate the right wing fringe posts….
She should have blinked, but she was wired for the mission…blah blah blah. Someone said the Media Whore of Babble On…In what respect, CHARLEEEE?
From the link above:
Kathleen Parker: I agree that Palin was picked too soon. Bobby Jindal is a genius (I promise) and he would be an utter flop right now. Witness his response to Obama’s address to Congress.
Trust me when I say I’m not comparing Palin and Jindal in any other regard. They’re moons apart intellectually and with regard to accomplishments. But timing is important and even a talent like Jindal would crash right now.
Can Palin reinvent herself for later? Sure. She’s young. But becoming media-savvy is only part of the equation. More important, she has to become educated and learned. But first, she has to want to. I’m not sure she has the intellectual curiosity necessary to bring her up to speed. Actually, this is a widely held doubt within the party.

KO coming on for the first round… and Palin vs. Letterman is on! Guess what I’ll be doing for the next couple of hours?
This is a comment made by Kathleen Parker that I found interesting but I don’t believe it for a minute as to Sarah — the family possibly but not Sarah or Todd. Her OTOH (on the other hand) is more truthful
“I am told by people close to her that Palin and her family would love to turn back the clock to July 2008 . . . and just say “no” to John McCain. That may be the best indicator of her future political ambitions. OTOH, power is an addictive aphrodisiac.”
“Falls Church, Va.: I don’t understand why this conversation continues. Don’t. Give. Her. Any. More. Ink.
Kathleen Parker: As long as people are throwing money at her – and as long as the GOP treats her as a serious candidate – we’re going to cover her.
Alas, I note that the poll featured on the front page of USA Today today doesn’t mention Palin as a spokesperson for the GOP. She may be fading already.”

Bristol is now 18, and has put herself out there as a public PAID figure by way of being appointed the spokesperson of Candy’s whose corporate side sells, advertises and promotes clothing and shoes that easily can be the attire in the ‘Red Light District’. She’s done the media blitz on the talk shows, some with baby in arms. There’s no crawling back to the apron strings now. She’s a Public figure now.
The fact the Willow was in attendance at ‘Public’ events on the weekend dressed in Daisy Dukes and carrying a baby, it was easy for anyone to think it was Bristol.

I’m sure your husband is right, UK Lady.
…first line…should be “despite”, not “despire”… 🙂
I have to admit, despire all the David Letterman post-joke furor, I’ve looked all over the Internet and I CANNOT find any visual evidence that Willow Palin or anyone other than Todd Palin accompanied Sarah Palin to the Yankee game as guests of Rudy Giuliani.
Therefore, as far as “Palin’s daughter getting knocked up by ARod”, even if it DID happen, it must have been in some clandestine meeting that wasn’t at the ballpark.
And Todd Palin’s faux outrage would be “much ado about nothing”.
If Willow was in the nosebleed seats (much cheaper) and Todd Palin accompanied Sarah Palin to that Yankees game as guests of Rudy Giuliani, she must declare AT LEAST TWO $2,600/seat tickets on her next disclosure statement to the state of Alaska…unless she wants another Travel-Gate. I don’t think there’s any way SarahPAC can be used to slide that by, can they?
Anyone else ever see pictures of ALL THREE Palins at Yankee Stadium from Sunday?
A side commentary: The Palinistas here are so full of hate for the Obamas. Can’t believe anyone’s comparing a failed VICE PRESIDENTIAL candidate to a winning PRESIDENTIAL candidate/now President.

Except, Bristol, has proven to be as mean, spiteful and hateful as her mother toward the father of her child. The girl is young but not young enough not be held responsible now that she has a child and is exploiting him.
Willow, I haven’t seen anyone bash her or Piper.

Lets hope he is holding a grudge when Palin, gets kicked out of office. I have a feeling the troopers are going to find all kinds of reasons to pull her over.
@194 sauerkraut
I’ve already posted that I basically agree that Letterman didn’t target Willow. I think he and his staff thought it was Bristol on the road with Mom.
I also think that even Bristol shouldn’t be a target of our frustration, cyber poking, anger, targeting and commentary. She is under Sarah’s control. She is doing what Mom says. And, Sarah Mom is all powerful in her eyes as well in the eyes of the kids in the family. They have no idea what to think. They have access to the internet. The kids old enough to know for a google search have probably seen more than any kids should ever have to deal with about their mom.

Letterman and the entire late night crew has open season on Sarah. She ran into the field barking, frothing and biting.
Her children were at home wishing Mom was simply “there” with them. They had no choice in any of this.
The children are innocent and off limits in my view.

I can’t find again who mentioned it earlier but I think they were exactly right when they said that Letterman and staff probably assumed it was Bristol that was with Palin on the NYC trip. She certainly does look at least 18.
So with it being Willow and her being 14 Palin can “technically” say that Letterman was making a joke about the “rape” of her daughter because she’s underage.
___________
I really do not like to disagree with fellow mudpuppies but you are just plain wrong on this. The joke was about one of the Palin girls getting knocked up. Bristol is the only Palin girl who got knocked up. Considering the supposed practice of abstinence in the Palin household and Bristol’s hiring by the schlock shoe salesman, she’s fair game for jokes. Nothing was said about rape – not even close – and the context was about as far removed from the younger Palin girls as anyone with a brain can imagine.
Letterman is being unfairly portrayed by a bunch of unintelligent idiots. Try not to be among them.

The remarks about Willow absolutely were uncalled for an over the line. She is 14 years old. She didn’t ask to be brought into this insanity
____________
The lines were not about Willow. Indeed, Letterman never named anyone. When I actually listened to his routine, my impression was that Letterman was tagging the abstinence-only diva for allowing her oldest daugher – who is neither Willow nor Pillow or whatever her name is – to become pregnant by a guy who spent nights under the roof of the Palin house. It was not about Willow.
The others at Faux are inciting these type of people. I hope someone writes a good article on how Sarah delighted in whooping up these type of loons at her rallies during the election. IMO she chose the wrong week to start campaigning and calling Obama out on being a socialist…I hope it bites her in the butt.
fricken repubs and their talking points………..
Republicans: Debt will bring Barack Obama down
“The president is still popular, but his policies are catching up with him,” said Tennessee Sen. Lamar Alexander, who, as the No. 3 Republican in the Senate, is in charge of messaging for his conference. “When that happens, it helps us make our points.”
Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), the head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, told POLITICO that GOP candidates in 2010 will almost certainly use the deficit to argue that Democrats own a Washington mess.
“This was not an inherited situation. This was a matter entirely of this administration’s and this Democratic leadership’s making,” Cornyn said. “In large part, I believe, 2010 will be a referendum on their performance.”

“Savannah, Ga.: Ms. Parker, do you think that disorganization alone is holding Palin back? When I hear her speak on her positions, she sounds, well, like she doesn’t really understand what she’s talking about. (Alaska is very capitalist because it take wealth generated from natural resources and distributes it to all its citizens?) Do you think she does understand, and just comes off inarticulate, or do you think that good organization can overcome a basic deficit of ideas and understanding?
Kathleen Parker: Good question. One of Palin’s biggest problems, obviously, is an inability to clearly articulate her positions. I have it on good authority that she had a terrible time training for the vp debate and threatened to leave at one point. The McCain people were very frustrated with her as they tried to hammer a few talking points. Time will tell, but I’m not optimistic. (No winking)”

Samuels is the former House majority leader. He sparred with Palin when he was in the Legislature, particularly on natural gas pipeline issues.
Samuels said he won’t decide before the end of the summer and likes his job with Holland America as its vice president for external relations.”

Folks were asking questions to Parker about her take on Palin. Here’s a great one:
>>San Francisco: Do you think that a lot of the interest in Palin is just curiosity? During the election campaign, everyone I spoke to, liberal or conservative, said they would go to hear her speak – but not a one thought she was a qualified candidate for national office. They just wanted to see her because she is such an anomaly.
Kathleen Parker: She’s interesting. As Flannery O’Connor once said, “People will stand in line to shake hands with a monkey.” Or something to that effect. <<

And note to Sarah from me: You are a public figure now–how ’bout acting your age? How ’bout acting like a professional? How ’bout dressing like a professional?
You want people to take you and your family seriously, but don’t act like it and then whine when you are called out for bad behavior, like a kid acting like a spoiled brat.
They want Obama to fire Letterman? I’m sorry. Did the Government bail out CBS? Is Obama the head of CBS now?
They need to get a grip. Compare the Letterman jokes to Hal Turner or Rob & Arnie or Bill O’Reilly if you really want to hear what hate speech is. Letterman is a comedian who tells jokes.
And no, I do not think he was out of line. Palin took her daughter on the trip and has paraded her around as a prop. If Willow can stand on a stage in frayed Daisy Dukes up to her crotch, then Letterman can make a joke about whether Willow is going to follow in the footsteps of Bristol, who got knocked up at least once. If Palin doesn’t like it, she can leave her daughter at home or she can see that her daughter at least dresses more appropriately. I think Letterman’s joke was more a commentary on the Palin’s lack of parenting skills and proper supervision.
I also think the “slutty flight attendant” remark was spot on. But I would like to hear something about her “drag queen spiked heels” too. The black patent leather ones she walked the parade in.
And note to Sarah: You’re a public figure now. Suck it up.
On CNN (we’ve already passed a really substantial part of the interview) They have William Cohen (former Sec. of Defense?) and his wife Janet Cohen on – they were at the Holocaust Museum getting ready to put on her play tonight – a conversation between Anne Frank & Emmit Till. They basically witnessed the whole thing. They are making some great heartfelt comments. I would tune in, it’s still going on.

In 1983, he was convicted of attempting to kidnap members of the Federal Reserve Board. He was arrested two years earlier outside the room where the board was meeting, carrying a revolver, knife and sawed-off shotgun. At the time, police said Von Brunn wanted to take the members hostage because of high interest rates and the nation’s economic difficulties.”

My hubby has just noticed that when I go into the Peelander site it constantly uses 50 – 95% of the CPU power on my PC. He says that is very suspicious, as a web page shouldn’t be using any CPU at all. Mudflats and other sites use 0 – 1% for example.

I’ve never “known” anyone else who supports the SPLC. (Probably because I live in Texas, where hate crimes happen all the time, e.g. (1 ) the release of two white men who were accused of dragging a black man to death and (2) the 18 year old, but mental capacity of a 7 year old, who was convicted of molesting a child and sentenced to something like 90 years in prison for a first offense!!! (both of these were in Paris, which is in northeast Texas)
SPLC tracks hate crimes and hate groups and sues for reforms. Morris Dees is a true hero.

I am still amazed that they did their “press release” via Facebook.
Naturally it will be a top news story in People. Palin has them on speed dial when she wants to make a comment on something, and I bet they are pretty unhappy about Facebook getting the press release instead of them.

“Basically, it’s just rude,” says one political operative who is a Palin fan. “They’ve been running the great snub machine. That’s the reason the boys in the Republican Party are unhappy with her.”
Canadian Neighbour “Sarah’s “groupies” who think they run the Repug party. Good luck and what a joke.”
Letterman has been on tv for more then 20 years just signed a 16 million dollar contract for four more plus has a successful production studio. He isn’t the one going nowhere fast.

They are inconsequential, but it does give one a view into the mind of those who are her supporters. Some are much less vocal than others about their feelings, but from all I have seen them say, that quote captures the mindset perfectly. They HATE. They are hypocritical to the core. They are of the belief that they are right while everyone else around them is wrong. They have no room for discussion or compromise. They fit Palin to a “T”.
I’ve donated to the Southern Poverty Law Center for years now, and am going to send a little more now. Teach Tolerance!

Saw that museum shooting story, too, and think that all the hate speech from the right is getting to their crazy followers. See Dr. Tiller assassination, see shooting at the Holocaust Museum, etc. If you haven’t read Shannyn Moore’s blogpost on Palin forcefully defending Prejean and then barely saying anything about the Ob/Gyn being killed in a church, you should. See her blog on the AK bloglist.

This is the kind of “groupies” that Palin has…
We need to send to ALL Republicans and tell them that any female media person that does not highly condemn Letterman for what he did, the Republican is to refer to the female as a Slut whenever they go on their show.
Willow was seen in pictures on the weekend holding a baby. Easy enough to think it was Bristol. Most don’t follow the Palins close enough to know the difference between them as that was the first time seeing Willow in months.

Be that as it may, the Palins should be HAPPY that they got mentioned on Letterman–isn’t publicity why they went to NY anyway?–and reasonable people can only exPECT to be made fun of by Dave, especially when they TROT their pregnant daughter Bristol out at the RNC, and lately, TROT their other daughter out in New York State with the shortest of shorts and the tightest of shirts while claiming that the entirety of their family is unimpeachable and not to be talked about in a bad way EVEN IF WHAT WAS SAID IS TRUE–BRISTOL DID GET KNOCKED UP.
And that Ziegler guy–I totally see him as completely disrespecting Contessa Brewer because she is female; he is blatantly mysogynistic towards her and good for her for getting all slitty-eyed at him and calling for that idiot’s mike to be cut. Someone needs to wipe that crazy woman-hating drug-adled grin off that man, who obviously is in thrall to GINO.
So, even if Dave said something about one of the daugter’s getting knocked up, well, it’s TRUE, Bristol DID GET KNOCKED UP, and, apparently, TWICE OVER…….Sarah would be wise not to get her undies in such a bundle about pregnancy-related stuff or, yes indeedy, Babygate will rear it’s head and she’ll be “forced” once again to “comment on the most asinine story I’ve ever been forced to comment on”. Tell the truth, do your job, stop dragging pregnant teenage daughters and inappropriately dressed 14 year olds out into public, and, if you continue to do so, EXPECT COMMENTS.
Sorry AKM if I seem a bit testy…..I am just SO wanting GINO out of any sort of power. Moreso, I think, I am just SO wanting the rest of the country to see her for what she truly is, and cannot understand why so many seem to still think she is wonderful. I just don’t get it. Are people’s brains really made that differently?
Did Willow have to pay for her rape kit?
Will the baby be brought up in Qaballa?
I feel like crap now posting about Carrie Prejean when the White Suprem. shooting at the Holocaust Museum is really the news…..
One good thing is The Donald’s quote:
Trump said: “To me she was the sweetest thing. Everyone else — she treated like s**t.”
Here’s a link to the Prejean firing story. Nothing real juicy – just not complying with her contract by making personal appearances without permission and skipping out on appearances she was committed to by the pageant people.

Breach of contract won’t resonate with sarah, since she does that hourly as GINO. She’ll probably claim religious intolerance. The peelanders will be calling for Obama to make Trump hire her back.

#103 lynnrockets … You are SO right: ” … very dangerous to heckle the comedian or late night host…” It’s like going after Limbaugh for his “I want him to fail” comments. The responses just fuel the fire – and the ratings which of course is what it’s all about.
Letterman is an entertainer and he wants a response – usually just a laugh. But when he gets an issued statement from a wounded target (in this case a former VP candidate), he must feel like he’s hit the million dollar jackpot. I betcha we haven’t head the last from him on this subject!
Uh oh…Huffpost is reporting that Sarah’s newest BFF Carrie Prejean is getting fired today. Wonder what Sarah will have to say about that?
Heh Heh…Palin, Ziegler, her groupies, what great material for comedians. Perhaps they are– the New Bush!
Re: Letterman… Letterman makes his living as an edgy comedian who frequently pisses off his guests (remember Cher and Madonna to name a few), and tells it like he see’s it. His humor is generally acerbic and mocking. That’s his schtick. If you don’t want to be the butt of his jokes, quit acting stupid – like Palin. The Palin’s schtick is to act offended over every imagined slight or insult (lipstick on a pig), and then re-focus attention back on them as the poor victims of all the mean liberals. I am finding this very tiresome and hope to hell the Republican’s running in 2012 start eviscerating the dumb cluck.

I don’t know what Sarah and her folks are thinking. Do they not know the rule that it is very dangerous to heckle the comedian or late night host when that person has a microphone, a nightly show and an audience numbering in the millions? The splashback can be awe inspiring (and funny also, too).
I can’t find again who mentioned it earlier but I think they were exactly right when they said that Letterman and staff probably assumed it was Bristol that was with Palin on the NYC trip. She certainly does look at least 18.
So with it being Willow and her being 14 Palin can “technically” say that Letterman was making a joke about the “rape” of her daughter because she’s underage.
Always the shrewd one, she is.
And I just got back from C4P and am laughing but not in that fun way that makes you feel good. I am SO sure that these are some of the same people who LAUGHED at the Reagan/grenades-in-baby-butts jokes. For all the hateful projectile spew that they have listened to from the hate jocks I’m sure they never once called a station manager or stopped buying a sponsor’s product.
Again, I’m still entirely against bringing the children into public ridicule but Puhleeeze C4P’rs – get a GRIP. You want Dave fired !??! I would say this over on your site but you won’t allow it.
Good gawd – all of this caused by the national appearance of ONE singular woman. I swear there must be reference to her in the book of revelation somewhere because they HAD to have seen her coming down the pike. (and it won’t be one of the good references either) I bet she causes the cherubim to have nightmares.
Saw the interview with Contessa live earlier……….Ziegler looks and acts like Howdy Doody on crack. Why in the hell MSNBC gives him airtime is beyond me.Not only was he jacking with her , he maligned the network at least twice.
Now as far as Todd and his distortion of what was said on Letterman……..be careful Dud , what exactly was/is the specialty of the Dr. who delivered Trig ??
I’m sorry if I’m cranky…..but no sleep does that. Fought the good fight last night and then got 57 kids off to NYC early this am. If I ran into that Stan Roach guy from last nite , I’d pimp slap his ass so hard that they would stop him for speeding in the next county. There , I feel better.

The real truth comes out in the TELEPHONE polls where they cannot manipulate the vote. The latest telephone poll of 1,015 people showed less than 5 people thought GINO was the voice of the Republican Party. That is the TRUE sentiment in America. What a joke for the sheeple to think that if they change the vote that she will rise in poplarity. That just shows how stupid they are.

Contessa Interview – I tried to watch it twice and it crashes everytime she says “You want to do this interview” and her eyes have gone sort of narrow for a second and she is getting ready for a kill. She was going to give him a chance there a split second earlier, when she gave him a big smile, but he started off by being totally rude. I´ll have to try again in a few days, see if my laptop survives another go, because I want to hear her say “cut the mike”. I do like it when she says something about Ziegler taking issue with journalists and how that obviously excludes him totally. He is not in her league…. got that out of the few seconds it stayed up, can´t wait to see the rest. Thanks for the link.
As I can´t wait to see what Letterman makes of the distortion of his words…. I don´t always like his jokes, but that does not mean you can lie about what he said.

Oh, Todd’s statement is rich! I knew when Sarah kept repying to Ziegler something to the affect ”…good old Letterman…” she was making fun of his age.
Now Sarah’s statement: wasn’t Levi older than Bristol, who was a minor, when she got pregnant ? And, if she’s so concerned about underage children and sex, why does she let her kids date under the age of 18?
Sarah’s logic: acceptance (by anyone) of sexual comments about minors contributes to sexual exploitation of minors (by older men who use and abuse others)
I like how they include all Alaskans and everyone else in their statements. What we, Alaskans and everyone else know, is:
that they’re both lying about Trig
Sarah is committing a sort of fraud by not finishing her disclosure requirements
for the gifts she isn’t planning on opening and the APOC questions she hasn’t
answered/isn’t planning on answering.

Typical borderline raunch from Letterman- if Palin wants to play politics with the big dogs, she needs to have much thicker skin. BTW: loved the poll results where 52% couldn’t identify the GOP voice–how about developing some viable ideas first?

Wow, they are freaking out about a joke on late-night after singing the praises of a man that says to put grenades up baby’s butts (and kill the mothers as well). Both may be tasteless but one was said poking fun at tabloid headlines and the other was said out of pure hate.
re: The Letterman Jokes
After watching the Letterman clips, I believe that Letterman’s writers didn’t understand that the daughter with Palin was 14-year-old Willow and not Bristol. Had they realized they were not taking shots at Palin and Bristol, they would have also realized 1) the context was seriously age-inappropriate, and 2) that the intended humor is just not there without Bristol for context.
I think, too, that with Bristol’s well known history and her now being on the public stage on her own promoting extreme horniness, she is fair game for comedy writers.

They really are. Wingnuts, wackjobs, hysterical, hysteria, crazy, loony, I could go on….
By making a big deal of this, GINO is really painting herself into a corner. We all know that the road to the White House runs through David Letterman’s studio. And we know that, if she ever is foolish enough to go on his show, this whole sorry episode will be revived (and rehashed, and analysed, and people will (again) wonder which daughter it was, and someone will bring up the babygate thing).
For the record, I do not support anything (and i mean ANYTHING ) having to do with Sarah Palin herself. Nada. Zip. Omigawd nuthin. I was beside myself during the election campaign and truly thought I’d go mad if I saw coverage of her at one more rally of hate and venom.
BUT!! (and it’s a big butt, to paraphrase Pee Wee Herman) We cannot – simply CANNOT allow ourselves to fall down that dark, nasty pit to the depths of the likes of Rush, Hannity and Coulter. The remarks about Willow absolutely were uncalled for an over the line. She is 14 years old. She didn’t ask to be brought into this insanity. Please let us say and think good positive things about this child and, as our Grammas always said, if we can’t say something nice, let’s not say a dang thing. And, when someone does publicly speak crassly about them for the sake of a stupid laugh, let’s call them on it. Yeah…Palin’s referring to rape when Letterman said, “knocked up” and she’s going to squeeze it for all it’s worth but heck…it’s her kid. (although, i’ll be the first one to say that the way she cares for them is much more damaging than any bad jokes made on late night tv)
I think C4P would find a way to get up in arms if the sky dared to rain on a Palin parade day and would blame it on all of us haters. Of course they’re going to take something valid and run the living hell out of it , round and round and use it as a rally charge into serious battle. ( they freak me out more than a little) But this time, they have a point.
My heart breaks daily for those children. I want to scoop them all up and give them a place of peace and childhood happiness. I can’t stand it when we allow anyone to rag on them in any way and we don’t say something in their defense.
And, in closing, OY! I really want Sarah out, out , OUT!!! She’s poison wherever she goes!
OMFG! They are such maroons! Oh wonder if letterman has the b@lls to say this to dud’s face, oh we have to forward this el rushbo, oh I just told best western on facebook how I changed my vacation plans, blah, blah,blah!!!

lettersfromeurope “The Letterman story is being distorted by using the word rape, when that was not actually used in the joke.”
Does Palin really want to revist RAPE kits and the insane RAPE statistics in Alaska? Why does Todd not have a job since he is NOT watching the kids?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I thought of this also, when the dud used the “rape” word!
sarah’s the ‘pretty pathetic ‘ one. What an idiot to even respond to Letterman. He’s going to have a field day with her. And if she responds every time, she’s going to be governing Alaska a whole lot less (if that’s possible). Can’t wait to hear his response in tonight’s Top 10.
Here is a petition for single-payer health care, if anyone is interested.

The whole thing is about 9 minutes long. The remarks about Palin start around the 8 minute mark.
I think those guys over at the place that shall not be named have lost their minds. First, they praise Ziegler and talk about what a whipping he gave Brewer. Since when does being obnoxious and rude deserve praise…only in the world of the far right. He obviously went on the show with his own agenda in mind and not to participate in any meaningful discussion. Why do all right wing radio guys try to copy the Rush?
As for Letterman, I did not see that the his comment was directed toward Willow so much as against Spitzer. The people residing in the alternate universe are calling for a campaign of emailing Letterman sponsors and producers to voice their objection.
The righties could definitely use funny bone implants.
Pot? Kettle? Black?
Where oh where were the visible, high profile, in-your-face reactions to the underage pregnancy from Daddy T-Odd? Any angry quotes from dear old Dad before, during, or even after the VP run regarding the FACT (not a suposition) that her underaged daughter was, in fact, knocked up? Any? Consentual or not, aren’t there statutory laws on the books in AK? And I watched the Letterman monologue and that quip was near the very end. If the insinuation is what they are all aghast about, the hypocracy is comical!
Get a grip, Palins!
ouch…….that’s gotta hurt, lol…….a whopping five people take Scarah seriously.

“That means that of the 1,015 national adults who were asked who speaks for the GOP, Newport said, less than five people cited Palin.
That is an infinitesimal fraction of the amount who said that Rush Limbaugh, Dick Cheney, or Newt Gingrich speak for the GOP.”
Harris is part of the extended Valley group that looked like the good ol’ boys club (with one female member) last year when they were campaigning, and who all voted to confirm Wayne Anthony Ross. Huggins/Menard/Gatto/Harris/Keller/Neuman. Harris’ challenger seemed like a very bright woman with some good ideas. I hope she runs again.
The Letterman story is being distorted by using the word rape, when that was not actually used in the joke.
It is the same as using pro-abortion instead of pro-choice and I am sure you all can think of loads of other examples of the same word games. People don`t bother to check out the correct wording and are successfully manipulated, despite youtube.

WOW..Ziegler is such a pompous a*hole. He lies when he says he asked her (Palin) tough questions. He has PROVEN that is nothing more than a Palin cheerleader. That’s okay with me. She can have him.

I am sorry. I got it wrong.
It’s not the peelanders who started the spin, but Todd the Dud. Shame on him for getting beyond his ability to think by claiming Letterman made a joke about the daughter getting raped. Perhaps if The Dud would learn how to turn on the tellie, he might be able to watch the segment in which Letterman makes his crass joke.

Now I’m really curious if Letterman said that, Did he? I’m wondering if she is pulling the lemonade stand thing over this, you know, how she talked about the trampoline and swing when it had nothing to do with it. I really doubt that Letterman would say something like that, I’d like to know if he said that also, too.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He did, but he didn’t make reference to WHICH daughter, only her daughter and alot of people are confusing willow with bristol nowadays…
I was a tastless joke, but its letterman???? That’s his Schick! Peeland is Hysterically magifying anything they perceive to be a slight on the queen or 1st fam. lol!

This is the clip from where he says “one awkward moment for Palin was when her daughter got “knocked up” by Alex R.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5g8kE_g-YA
Letterman did say these things, but I get the feeling that he was making jokes about Palin and not really directing them towards the daughter per se.
This is where he makes the joke about Eliot Spitzer

Letterman used the term “knocked up” . I thought that means to get pregnant? Not a nice joke in any case, but not “rape”. And some think he is talking about Bristol and some think he is talking about Willow (only 14).
______________
I agree with your interpretation. Just watched the video.
I think it was a slam on Palin’s lack of supervision of her kids, A-Rods crappy behavior and of Bristol getting knocked up. Poor taste, yes, but then lots of stand-up humor is. I see where the peelanders have got their collective jocks sticking out of their noses over this. Shame on them for trying to spin it as a rape on Willow or Piper.

I did not see it in context (you can find the bit on all the rightwing thingies now), but I think he should not have made it in any case. But then Letterman is not always nice, so…. He is just an entertainer after all. Right?

When/where did Letterman make such a joke??
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Last night he was talking about GiNO,
in NY shooting rats from a helicopter…
sitting in the far,far, right seats with Rudy G.
And the hardest part, the hardest part was keeping Eliot Spitzer away from the daughter.
“THEY” are equating this to ‘prostitution” ???
On Mon night
Letterman said something like
ARod “knocked up” her daughter (at the game)
So they’ve got their panties in a twist about the whole thing…!
I guess it was different when the Queen laughed multiple times about Lyda Green being a “Cancer.”
Was watching KO lastnight and he had this female on and they were talking about American Idol and A Rolling Stones article. It was all about Adam Lambert coming out of the closet. Was very interesting. I felt Adam shoulda won and figured half way through the season that he was gay. He never was big on his female fans which gave me my first clue. LOL, for all you Idol fans.

“Concerning Letterman’s comments about my young daughter (and I doubt he’d ever dare make such comments about anyone else’s daughter): ‘Laughter incited by sexually-perverted comments made by a 62-year-old male celebrity aimed at a 14-year-old girl is not only disgusting, but it reminds us some Hollywood/NY entertainers have a long way to go in understanding what the rest of America understands – that acceptance of inappropriate sexual comments about an underage girl, who could be anyone’s daughter, contributes to the atrociously high rate of sexual exploitation of minors by older men who use and abuse others.'”

*****************
I don’t know about you, but I run the show for a surgeon who is a solo practitioner, including all his billing plus billing for his asst surgeon. IMO, one of the primary reasons the US has such high health care costs with similar (or worse) outcomes than other industrialized nations is the amount of money going down the rabbit hole of the private insurance industry. Physicians spend a ridiculous amount of employee time (that’s a health care cost) dealing with insurance companies. Insurers are among the worst offenders in terms of outrageous exec. compensation, and it’s a pretty shady business if you ask me. Just google United Healthcare + Ingenix. Read about that judment, then consider that Ingenix also sells their database info to physicians to guide them in setting fees… Anybody who believes health insurance is a free market system is fooling themselves. It is a dictatorship run by the insurance industry.
I could go on and on. While there are problems with Medicare reimbursement in terms of physician practice sustainability, at least it is consistent, they pay and pay on time, and my experience has been that most problems are solved in a reasonable manner.
Enough of my rant…
Have a good day ; )

and isn’t it lovely that on mudflats the essence of the individuals shine through. It is interesting when we learn facts about someone, but I treasure that the ‘who-ness’ of a person comes through without any ‘facts’ necessary. It always makes me think of the Quakers and their saying of seeing the light of god in everyone. I think AKM has provided a platform for much light. I for one am truly thankful for AKM, Mudflats and all the wonderful mudpuppies, especially when we see hatred expressed other places as a matter of right and entitlement.

sauerkraut – Now there’s a thought.

Palin’s, own fault for surrounding herself with nitwits, leeches and dumbasses. No one with 1/3 a brain & hearing can tolerate her, anyway.
I cannot decide who is the greater scammer. Palin, who thinks she has one up on Angry Meg or Angry Meg, who thinks she is puppetering the next POTUS.
Nan… you’d make better use of that towel by stuffing it into his open maw.
I am so often tempted to label Ziegler as a tool, but I don’t want to insult my tools.

said that he’s been intrigued by Alaska since his first fishing trip there more than 30 years ago. Since working at a cannery near Ketchikan as a young man, he’s visited there many times. It was in 2005, he said, while he was struggling with treatment for cancer and visiting Alaska, that Dunn became interested in the notorious “Bridge to Nowhere” story, involving then-U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens. He then began following closely Palin’s successful campaign to unseat GOP Gov. Frank Murkowski the following year.”

************** ALERT ************************************
The Clare Booth Luce Institute Letter Is probably a Scam (I put probably because of libel laws) and NOTHING TO DO WITH PALIN AT ALL.
The requested donation is for the Clare Booth Luce Institute not Palin. I can’t see a “Sarah Palin approves this message” or similar (or is that necessary for this?). Effectively they are looking to raise money off the Palin name/controvesies.
They send out a letter all about how someone in the public eye is being attacked, make it look as if they are organising a support campaign and then ask for money for THEMSELVES not for the person they claim to support.
This should be forwarded to SarahPAC, Alaska Government, C4P etc for confirmation or not that Palin is involved and, if not, we can watch the infighting that develops.
