Open Thread – Save Our CEOs
Behold the trailer of Michael Moore’s new film, ‘Save Our CEOs.’ Select theatres last night when the trailer premiered actually had ushers walking down the aisles with cans.
Michael Moore vs. Corporate Corruption. This oughtta be good.
Check out the mission statement from FireDavidLetterman.com
http://firedavidletterman.com/
You would think people that are putting something out there for the whole world to read would at least proof read it.
I don’t know why this whole Letterman mess bothers me so badly, but it does. I don’t approve of the jokes he told, but SP’s reaction and the reaction of the righties is very troubling.
Also, I would like to know who is really behind the webathon to retire SP’s legal bills. I don’t for one minute think this is a grassroots movement. Since SP cannot directly solict funds herself, I think her people are requesting this.
One other note about John Ziegler…some on the extreme right not only have visions of SP as POTUS but JZ as press secretary. If the thought of those 2 in the White House doesn’t scare you, nothing ever will.

Michelle Obama finds a new friend in Britain’s Queen
According to the sources, the queen and Michelle Obama have exchanged letters and spoken by telephone since that first meeting. The visit last Wednesday was organized as a treat for Sasha, who turned 8 that day.

This is so heartwarming for me because I know Her Maj makes a habit of never wasting her time with fools.
I had to go back and find installment #1 – pretty funny!!!!!!!!!!! I really like all the you betchas and doncha knows – they are perfect!

LMAO and priceless! I can’t stop laughing and there are way too many things to quote. The whole thing is hilarious. Thanks! You should put this up during the day when there are more peeps that will see it. The “Red White House”….LMAO!
Well, perhaps not fall out of your chair, but I did want you to laugh.

Sarah and the Geezer of Oz Part 2 of the official autobiography.
(Part one is #270 in the open thread, “Spare Brain.”)
Glinda the Good, who really was from Oz, saw an opening, and quickly produced a map of Australia. Subtly scratching out the name, “Alice Springs,” she used her red sharpie (Sarah loved red) and and filled in “Ruby City. Home of the White House.”
“Ooohhhhh!” exclaimed Sarah. If it’s in red, it’s gotta be good, you betcha! How do I get there, also?”
Glinda the Good, having assured the Geezer through the FOX’s minions that Sarah had passed muster (low bar, thought Glinda) gleefully highlighted the “Red Brick Road” on the map and sent Sarah on her way to meet the Geezer. “He’s waiting for you in the Ruby City,” she whispered conspiratorially. You’ll live temporarily at the Navel Gazing Observatory (hereafter known as NGO) before moving into the White House (“You can always paint it red, said Glinda. After all, if the President does it, it’s legal.” Glinda was no dummy.) Sarah, still in her Red Monkeys, set out. Glinda put three travelers in her way to “help” her find the Ruby City and NGO.
“I’m gonna learn Navel Gazing at the NGO before the GOP whisks me off to the Red White House,” she told the Scaremonger. Wanna, like, come along also? Scaremonger agreed, and down the Red Brick Road they set, singing, “We’re off to off the Geezer, the doddering Geezer of Oz,” off key. They stopped to pilfer apples from a local farm. “These are Hawaiian PINE apples also!” spat Sarah in disgust. “They ain’t American! They don’t even have birth certificates, donchaknow.”
“Oz is a foreign country, too,” said Scary. “La la la. I can’t hear you,” sang the red shod leader.
“Look over there. It’s Joe, the Tinner! Do you wanna go to the NGO?” cried Scaremonger. “Do you need a license? asked the Tin Man, suspiciously. “Nope. But Sarah here has a bunch of red lights you can help with. She says the Ruby City will be much improved if it has a Red Light District.” Joe the Tinner’s eyes glinted and drool slipped out of the far right corner of his mouth. “Wow! I’d love to help, if it’s an equal discrimination work environment. I mean both men and women, licensed and unlicensed should be able to work there as long as they don’t make living wages.”
“You betcha! said Sarah. We just won’t tell those, those . . .Scary, what were they called?” “Munchkins.” Scary reminded her. “Some call them the Base, but with their scratchy, whiney voices, that never made sense to me.” Joe danced at the thought of an equal unopportunity Red Light District.

I don’t know thaat I’d call this ‘better’, but, if I could be there, which I can’t (Hubby’s doing a Bloomsday reading … in S. Fla!), I’d carry a sign that simply read “Get a Life” (or something similar) and parade quietly among them. I’d stand my ground and would not say a thing – they’re planning on videotaping it, BTW, which is fine. It would be their bad behaviour that would be caught on tape IF it resorted to that, which I presume it would not.
Adding to my last post…I’m off to Twitter to see if the twit tweets about this. I’m creating a new tab and not holding my breath.

OMG….the rac.ist republican base are sure showing their true colors. This makes me sick. And that non-apology was not at all sincere.
I wonder what Steele will say tomorrow about this and I wonder if the newly politically correct Ms. Palin will make a tweet about this in defense of the first lady and demand an apology to all African American women. Ha! I’m guessing not!
Those GOP’ers just can’t resist racist jokes:
“South Carolina GOP activist and former chairman of the state elections commission Rusty DePass has apologized for saying a gorilla that escaped from a zoo was an “ancestor” of Michelle Obama.
“After an aide to state Attorney General Henry McMaster detailed the escape of the gorilla from Columbia’s Riverbanks Zoo, DePass responded with a comment: “I’m sure it’s just one of Michelle’s ancestors – probably harmless.”
And all he could come up with was this non-apology: “I am as sorry as I can be if I offended anyone. The comment was clearly in jest.”

Pipeline project: “Very important to the president”
JUNE 11, 2009 – 11:00 AM
From Erika Bolstad in Washington D.C. –
UPDATED: Everyone seems to have a reaction to the Exxon-TransCanada announcement, so let’s lead with the one from the Obama Administration, via Interior Secretary Ken Salazar:
“This is a significant step forward on a project very important to the president and the Department of the Interior as a way to get American energy to the lower 48,” Salazar said in a statement. “We recognize there are two very strong project proposals, both aiming toward a 2010 open season and both now supported by major gas producers that control vast proven reserves of North Slope gas. We look forward to working with all stakeholders involved with this project.”
(snip)
And then juxtaposed with this article……
h tt p://community.adn.com/adn/node/141775
From Bill White in Anchorage –
The state House Energy and Resources committees have postponed a hearing scheduled for Monday in Anchorage on proposed North Slope gas pipeline projects and Exxon Mobil Corp.’s announcement this week that it is joining the TransCanada Corp. project.
Executives with Exxon and TransCanada were unable to attend, said Will Vandergriff, press secretary for the House majority.
Also invited were executives with the Denali pipeline project, a joint venture of BP and Conoco Phillips, as well as Palin administration officials.
The meeting likely will be rescheduled for later this month, Vandergriff said.
(end 2nd article)
I believe the Exxon deal signals the point at which the pipeline project is moving into the Federal realm. Any Palin shenanigans that might might be exposed will probably come to light as the Obama administration becomes more involved via the DOE and DOI exercising their jurisdiction.

You have lost your FLIPPIN minds! Ignorance KILLS! She is not smart, conservative or prolife. She is not an upstanding parent or community member. I know who her oldest children were sent to live so to get them out of Sarah’s way. I know who Sarah had an affair with also. I know that Sarah Palin is the most insecure individual that I have ever met! The national GOP and McCain has NO intention on placing Sarah Palin who is the symbol of ignorance over substance in a position such as VP. “””””””””””””
Isabella ,its #66 from June 28th
Closet Mudpup – Dick was S^*T-faced drunk when he shot Whittington in the face. A friend of mine for 25 yrs. is very close to one of the women who was in the hunting party that afternoon. The local Sheriff was not allowed on the ranch until 8:30 the next morning to question the V.P.. Dick Cheney was drunk when he shot Harry Whittington. Ass-holes tried to blame Harry. If you are holding a firearm – you are solely responsible. PERIOD. The V.P.of the U.S.A , Dick Cheney was drunk and shot a man.
I have an umbilical herniation. Mesh was recommended by only one doctor of the 5 or so I consulted, and it seemed that he was tied somehow to the manufacturer. The other 4 recommended against mesh, 3 saying the traditional stitch method was still superior in some ways without the complications of the mesh.
The possible complications were definitely severe enough to cause me to pause.
I ended up going with advice from a team made up of a surgeon, a homeopath and a physical therapist. The course we are taking is this:
1) I am on a weight loss/physio plan specifically designed to reduce my waistline (beer-belly) without causing more stress/damage to the muscles involved
2) We will re-assess after I reach my goals for reduction
3) All is being done in consultation with the surgeon, who is familiar with this process
4) If the physio approach does not work, or if I have a more severe distension of the herniated area, my surgeon is on call to re-stuff me quickly
The most important thing was getting the three to talk to each other. Although they didn’t 100% agree on everything, I took charge and made them agree to the compromise I myself wanted.
Now I am suffering through a diet more than the pain.
My best wishes for a good outcome to your family member, umbilicals are not near as critical as groin hernias, and I am not sure that the option I have chosen is available – but the important thing is to look into all the options available.
London Bridges – Alex lives right here in Austin. I posted a link to him up there. ^^^^
While I don’t share the opinion of Alex Jones with those who regard him as a generally reliable source, I do grant him credibility for the video I’ve linked. It deals with the Cheney-Whittington shooting, and compares the Cheney story to some demonstrated test results with the same type 28-gauge shotgun Cheney was using. If you’re not familiar with 28ga shotguns, they’re roughly the same as a .410. Cheney’s story is quickly revealed to be a crock.

However, it is absolutely plausible, given her history. They don’t mention (and neither did I) a “sex tape”. Just something that might prove troublesome for her. I believe it could exist. Just like I believe Levi has damaging information.
Again, just speculation. I am simply tiring of her manipulations and want to see her “get some of what she’s got coming”. And if it comes from her own basket of goodies, of her own making, then all that much better, I say.
Actually, I suspect that the new deal she just made with Exxon has some hidden strings. Again, speculation.
Also. Too.
I thought I saw a comment that said Sean Cockerham was Ivey Frye’s boyfriend (relationship over?) at some point and that he was brown-nosing GINO in hopes of getting a job.
I’ve also seen comments saying he was writing to make fun of GINO in some way through thickly veiled sarcasm.
Unless Cockerham clarifies himself, I am inclined to believe the former.
too funny, I had no clue there was such a thing as a “bumpit” hair thingy as sold on TV, LOL, and that (or something similar) is what Scarah is using to “bump” the hair…….the ad shows many of the same styles Scarah wears!

I have always enjoyed your posts so please don’t take this badly….the rumors about a sex tape or other such “icebergs” are being bandied about too loosely for my taste.
The post at The Immoral Minority you refer to is not backed up by facts — it is presented as too much of a conspiracy for me to consider seriously, and provides ammo to those who attack the credibility of more responsible anonymous bloggers everywhere.
Much as I wish it were real, I just don’t buy it, at least not yet.
Dave hit the trifecta: he insulted Todd, her majesty, and a daughter. A full onslaught takedown ensues, not playing the hand she was dealt very well in any way but divisively, wailingly and smirkingly. Someone here said that her behavior is soul-sucking. I agree.
I really appreciate how Trooper Wooten must feel. Protect and bless us all.
Wonder if the palinistas will be giving out donation forms at their rally against Letterman on Tuesday. Bet they will. Wish I was gonna be in NYC on Tuesday, so I could protest the protesters.
If the proPalin sites are doing a webathon this week (15-22) for SP to increase the Alaska Fund Trust coffers, that fund must not be doing too good.

I thought there was some satire in the ADN piece because I had an impression Sean C wasn’t a fan from past things I’d read.

Please IGNORE the headline and just read the ADN article by Sean Cockerman! I have written articles for newspapers, and I can never put the title on the article – the editor gets to do that. I see nothing but cleverly-worded snark from Sean re GINO. Maybe it’s just me.
My thpoughts reading ADN as well. Seemed a slam to me.

Any word about the Chamber Concert yesterday? It makes me smile just to think about it.
Freaky, no, explicit, yes. I bet she did some “modeling”, like that chooch Prejean. I also bet that some of this is footage that perhaps a PI uncovered. I wonder if Taahd had her followed and now the film is coming out?
Speculating on her political demise is fun. 😛

Hi All!
We’ve been having a bang up time over at nailinpalinnow coming up with Palin Whitehouse Headlines….some samples:

-PRIME MINISTER OF ISREAL MAKES HISTORIC ANOUNCEMENT: PLEADS WITH PALIN NOT TO HELP ANYMORE
-When Blogging Was Legal: A Look Back-

has anyone put the info about Scarah groupies doing a picket outside Letterman’s studio? they’re calling for the outraged to show up, Ziegler and head peepee spoke about it, doesn’t sound like he offered to film it but suggested some web cam or video it.
this Tuesday, 4:30……..isn’t that like rush hour? is rain in the forecast? lol perhaps Letterman will invite them in? lol
they are quite serious about this defending their hero, kind of a Jericho thingy.

Yep, just read what appeared to be a fairly credible “leak” that the iceberg, or one of them, has something to do with some photos and video over several years’ time, that are unflattering, to say the least. Sounds like something that would definitely wipe her off the face of politics. Forever. Not just old stuff from when she was trying to secure a place on TV, but also from her early political forays while she was accused of having an affair.
See Immoral Minority’s latest post.. it’s in the comments section.
nswfm CA “Somewhere I read there was a divorce going on but it was dropped when she found she was being considered. Also that she had an affair when TP was on the slope.”
Rumor or fact!?! Molly, claimed Palin, had an affair with her first husband.
Palin, is not loyal to anyone else, why would she be to, Todd?
could it be that the slut comment came too close to what may be revealed about her?
ADN is not deleting comments. Are they pollstering comments for someone trying to posture Palin to public feedback?
The comedians just need to show the highlights of last week: ripping off Newt in her screw political correctness intro, hanging out with grenades up baby butts M. Reagan, 5K (not 20K) people at the Seward event, not walking for autism because she forgot her socks, screwing up the GOP fundraiser then going to a Yankee game without any photographic evidence that Willow was there and no defense from Rudy 9/11 G then getting pissy over her husband talking about rape but taking it out on a comedian who is on every weeknight.
Somewhere I read there was a divorce going on but it was dropped when she found she was being considered. Also that she had an affair when TP was on the slope.
Finally, on the day she was announced, I read a comment that someone knew the real story about the raeson her kids were sent away. I printed it out and showed the whole thing to the people I work with. Hmmmm.

Sarah is very proud of her looks. Obviously the way to get a reaction out of her is to go after her looks. If only all the articles about her would use that hilarious photo of her making that schoolmarm angry frown face and maybe make a few references to “Palin, looking unusually tired and haggard…”

Mae Lewis said, “She has been the subject of late night jokes for quite some time; this one connected with her in some way.” Most of the other jokes were about Bristol; I think what enraged Palin this time was the slutty comment. That’s what she was raging about at first. It was only later that someone realized Dave didn’t mention which daughter and got the bright idea of twisting it around so that Sarah could act like the enraged mama bear defending her cubs and all womanhood.

My hope is that every comedian on TV will unite in tearing her to shreds. They should. Miss Screw Political Correctness is now setting her self up as the Morals Police to dictate what they can and can’t make jokes about. Their livelihood is at stake.
Say NO to Palin in Politics “Scarah’s silence is deafening. Has she had a meltdown? combusted? Or top secret plastic surgery?”
She will almost, absolutely, not neccissarily…GOOD LORD…stay out of state for another news cycle so she can pout on national and cable news channels, whatever the drama is tomorrow.
Today, she should be in church building credit for her lies next week.
I also read that the city of Auburn spent a LOT of money getting ready for this little hay day, some residents weren’t too happy about it, may be a story there for some investigative journalist.
Re: Obamas walking during inaugural parade.
I’m sure it was lost on Palin, who would have been too preoccupied with attention-envy to listen to anything rational, but the Obamas did not get out of their limo and walk on a whim or just to enjoy the adulation of the crowd. It was preplanned, and the location was the reason for it.
crystalwolf aka caligrl “An estimated crowd of 5,000 to 6,000 people”
That is a SAD showing for Palin, after all that time Meg’s dad spent trying to rally an audience. Guess this year was the first and last, annual Seward’s Day, huh?
About my post at #131….
It is so nice that all the AK Progressive bloggers share info when they get a juicy tidbit as it relates to a story. Now the Huffpo is National and they have to keep sources or info a little more private and not expose it…. BUT…
Since AKM or Shannyn post there regularly… If they were to ‘ask’ (Huffpo )it would really be interesting as to whether the Huffpo would give up details or just the general subject matter or topic that they were emailing about.
Because if they were to write about the topic… it might show up on their own blog as a story. Got me curious now…?

@HonestyinGov, whoever on the Right compares FROST/NIXON to what’s going on with Palin maligning a comedian did not understand the point of Ron Howard’s film or Peter Morgan’s play of the same title! That’s just hilarious!
Oh, and the film takes place after Nixon resigned over Watergate! So are they admitting Palin has been involved in criminal activity & is resigning? How is that movie in the least bit applicable? (shaking head over that one)
Very interesting comment on Gryphem blog post titled “Is ADN in Palin’s pocket”. Go to comment posted at 10:16am. It refers to Palin may have a sex tape and she’s being blackmailed over it!! Huh.
Here is a little quote from Huffpo’s Jason Linkins ‘Sunday Talking Heads’
————————–
“Gregory asks about Sarah Palin and the “big news” that she made “taking on David Letterman.” Dear God. That’s big news? The point I’ve been continually making is that Sarah Palin really needs to learn to not do things like get into gutter fights with teevee comedians. As vicious as the jokes were, going all in for a fight with David Letterman is a straight up waste of political strength and time. But try telling that to Palin’s most frenzied supporters, who’ve all been emailing me this week to tell me that PALIN/LETTERMAN is their FROST/NIXON.”
—————————————–
He does not go into any details into what “who’ve been emailing me this week” actually consisted of…. But…?
If her supporters are comparing this to FROST/NIXON… that was where the ‘TV Guy’ exposed the Politician for the Lies he was telling and ‘ exposed ‘ him to all of America as a corrupt person.
I guess I am all for THAT. Bring on another Frost/Nixon ! ! (you Wing-Nuts )
Here’s a few thoughts.
Yes, Palin and Dud walked the parade because the Obamas did, but she’ll never acknowledge that, even to herself.
Yes, Palin toned it down after the flight attendant joke but again, she’ll never acknowledge that, even to herself. Now the fun will be if we start to see her start to imitate Michelle Obama, even subconsciously. If she start to wear belts and low heeled shoes.
If her lips are permanently lined, that could explain the fact she only wears that single shade of red lipstick all of the time. I guess she should be grateful she didn’t so the permanent eyeliner too or she’d be forced to continue the eye makeup as well.
2012.
1. Either she’ll be nominated (or paired with Romney) and never realize she’s a placeholder and their ticket is never expected to win by the GOP (which I happen to believe was the reason for the McCain/Palin ticket or
2. She’ll be nominated (or paired with Romney) and know it’s just because no won expects her to win….but she’ll believe she can and that she’ll prove them all wrong.
I’m voting for #2.
As for her support in the GOP. It’s one of three things.
1. Republicans who do not agree with her and do not support her.
2. Republicans who do agree with her and support her.
3. Republicans who do not agree with her but support her because they think if she wins they can control her.
The #3s are shrinking in number as more of them move to #1.
There aren’t enough #2s to put Palin in the White House.
But it is going to be real fun to watch.
BTW interesting slip by Palin. Bristol is at home taking care of her family. That would be sister Piper, son Tripp and…..Trig? Brother or son? Was Todd in Texas or at home? Does she take care of her Dad too? Probably. I expect she cooks and cleans when he’s home. In fact, I’ll bet all of the girls do the cooking and cleaning because Todd is too busy playing and Palin is too busy doing…whatever it is she does. I’ll bet Bristol does all of the shopping too. When is the last time there was a candid shot of Palin in the grocery store?
The fluff piece on ADN has no credibility. Based on these questionable sources…
John Btney… high school classmate
Greg Mueller … member of swift-boat liars
Cheri Jacobson…. degree in jouralisn & a 10 week crash course in campaign management.
Matthew Dows …author of book on Applebee’s franchise.
“An estimated crowd of 5,000 to 6,000 people, according to the Auburn Police Department, filled the downtown area along with dozens of vendors, entertainers and other festival participants.”

Some how I think Witchy poo Palin is oblivious to everything going on now after her wax figure interview with Wolf (the recent one?)
She always blabbed she thought of ideas/speeches while she went running
I bet she is frantically doing long runs with her mind just racing of what to say next..
It wont be a response. because she doesnt listen .. she just throws stuff out there ..then takes off on a run thinking of more garbage.. then tweets..
If she would grow one brain cell she would tell her beloved minions firing Letterman isn’t what she was trying to do ..
And if anything.. would ask them to not NOT buy/sell with the long list of sponsors of the show
Hello? In this poor economic time should about a million people (not sure how big her love fest is) .. not buying or selling with major businesses?
Wise Governor Bobble Head
Stop running and making up new nonsense.. pay half attention

Is she underwraps because “we” now live report on her for Alaskan blogs? are her appearances going to be “spontaneous” from now on, lol……her groupies really want to see her. What’s she going to do, create a “story” of some sort, to throw her groupies into support mode instead of feeling dissed by her because she can’t handle our “live” reporting? because Meg and she can’t spin big lies. Scarah only wants good stories done on her, dang it and she’s gonna “try” to control how that happens.

DAVE MAY BE RIGHT
(sung to the Billy Joel song “You May Be Right”)
Monday night Dave trashed her daughter
Wednesday night he said, “I’m sorry”
Friday night he trashed her once again
He was only having fun
With the Guv’nor with a gun
And we all enjoyed the heated tense exchange
Palin’s living in the twilight zone
She has the thinnest skin we know
Like the Oz Scarecrow she could really use a brain
Polls now show she’s in a dive
And her hair in that beehive
Like we said, this only shows that she’s insane
Dave may be right, Sarah is crazy
But she just may be the lunatic you’re voting for
She’s not too bright, thinking is hazy
Dave may be wrong but I’ll bet the house that Dave is right
Remember when Dave without fear
Called out the slutty clothes she wears
And then Todd, The First Dude went simply wild
He is such a macho man
No longer a Late Show fan
Since Dave Letterman called out his wife and child
Just think of all the jokes Dave will do
That make fun of Ms. Caribou
We will hear them every other day
They’ll be crazy but they’re true
Each time Sarah speaks anew
And we wouldn’t want it any other way
Dave may be right, Sarah is crazy
But she just may be the lunatic you’re voting for
She’s not too bright, thinking is hazy
Dave may be wrong but I’ll bet the house that Dave is right
Dave may be right, Sarah is crazy
But she just may be the lunatic you’re voting for
She’s not too bright, thinking is hazy
Dave may be wrong but I’ll bet the house that Dave is right
Dave may be wrong but I’ll bet the house that Dave is right.
Dave may be wrong but I’ll bet the house that Dave is right.
Dave may be wrong but I’ll bet the house that Dave is right.
Dave may be wrong but I’ll bet the house that Dave is right.
Dave may be wrong but I’ll bet the house that Dave is right.
Dave may be wrong but I’ll bet the house that Dave is right.
Yes, PLEASE RAM, Crazies for Palin and Ziegler: (I’m begging you) broadcast the Teabagging Protest of Letterman.
Show us that in the same way you were all so “ideologically united” in terms of what tea-bagging actually meant (NO ONE KNEW), you will now show that NONE OF YOU CAN READ OR HEAR! Yes, let us dismiss you en masse!
Dave can show his original clip. Dave can show his apology.
The world will see that it has no relationship to what you are protesting. It’s gonna be HILARIOUS! PLEASE, I am begging you, RAM & Ziegler. BROADCAST IT!!!
AND THANKS IN ADVANCE FROM LETTERMAN FANS: his ratings will be the highest of all time, thanks to Crazies for Palin.
(Oh, and Ziegler, FYI. Remember when you couldn’t figure out if USC in Los Angeles was private property or not, and you launched your phony Couric protest about it? You might want to check on where you are protesting/broadcasting from in NYC.)
Pass the popcorn and hooray for Letterman’s ratings!

“The bible is bullsh*t”
this is from the part on christians “picking and choosing” verses out of the bible, ie. their stance on homosexuality yet they ignore other verses like:
exodus 21:7 says it’s okay for parents to sell their daughters into slavery.
exodus 53:2 says anyone working on the sabbath should be put to death (my emphases, hey take a few of ya out, yer breakin the rules)
I just posted this over at ADN:
Sarah’s trip Outside was no huge success as Sean Cockerham claims. This is the worst hack-writing fluff piece I have ever seen.
You can see the size of the crowd at Founder’s Day in Auburn here:
http://videos.syracuse.com/post-standard/2009/06/gov_sarah_palin_leads_auburns.html
The reason she walked is that the “parade” only went a few blocks, and only consisted of her and Todd – where’s the rest of the parade?
There isn’t any.
The crowd she gathered for her speech was nowhere near 20,000, nor were there 20k people lining those two blocks of street-walking she did.
The 3k to 4k people who watched her walk through town followed her to the front of the church where she spoke, you can see them trailing her along the side of the street as she’s walking.
How many of those people were bussed in to fluff the crowd a la Prevo?
Someone mentioned “teabags” in a previous message. This reminded me that there was supposed to be a nation-wide follow-up protest again on July 4th. I haven’t heard anything about this, has anyone else?
Thought of the day….
Gov Palin is the new Kathleen Harris of the GOP.
Remember her? The cougar from Florida that wanted to certify the election for Bush. GOP were saying she’d be the next Gov or Senator or Bush would give her a high poistion in his administration. And then she failed terribly in all her various for public office campaigns.

“Exxon. My husband has worked in the oil patch for a long time. When I asked about Exxon his response was “you are surprised?” They are the biggest North Slope natural gas producer. Without them agreeing to produce it, the “pipeline” will be filled with nothing but hot air.”
Yep.
Jerry Prevo is an insult to organized religion. Maybe other churches should start a real Christian Coalition? Based on Christ’s teachings of loving ALL people-(including your enemies), and judge not or ye shall be judged.
crystalwolf aka caligrl, Hehehe, that loony, I sent him a Twitter but left out he better think twice about protesting IN FRONT OF the Sullivan theater. Does Dave, routinely drop big heavy objects off the roof 🙂
Talk about spewing hate…I just happened to turn my TV on this morning to try to catch GS, and who is on the channel that came up but Jerry Prevo. UGH. I usually flip the remote as fast as I can when he is on but I stopped for about 2 minutes (as long as I could take) to see how his fundraising is going. He is like the girl in the fairytale who opens her mouth and nothing but snakes and vipers and spiders come out. His latest diatribe: he stood at the pulpit and spouted a bunch of “statisitics” (never stating where they came from) about how homosexuals have from 500-1000 partners in a lifetime (promiscuity), how gay men are more likely to die from AIDS (and therefore are a health hazard–old news Jerry, I lost more of my friends than I can count in the 80s and then the gay community got smart and started to protect itself– long before the heterosexuals figured out “oh my god, this isn’t a discriminating virus, we can get it too”–but god forbid that we should teach our hormone raging teenagers about condoms). I digress: He then went on to state that “we discriminate against smokers” and that if you can refuse to rent an apartment to a smoker then you should be allowed to refuse to rent an apartment to a homosexual. Holy bat-@%$t Batman! Those gays are going to endanger our health and pollute our air and stink up the carpets and shades if we rent to them. Huh. Does that mean that we can refuse to rent an apartment to a “Christian”? Hypocritical son of a….. . But the kicker was when he said that he hoped he would be “dead or raptured” before he saw equality for homosexuals come to pass. And, more importantly, before the government stuck their noses into “church” business and told them that they would no longer be tax-exempt if they continued to spew forth this hate talk from their pulpits. To this I started screaming at my TV “bring it (the rapture) on then..I hope to goodness that it takes all of these vile, hate-filled, paranoid people right off the face of the earth (that I love) and leaves people who just want to live and let live behind.” That would be heaven or earth. When I calmed down and read between the lines I noticed that what he failed to mention, to his enraptured crowd of followers, was the possibility that his fundraising for his “cause” is not about anything more than raising money to press his political agenda on the masses. Sounds like politics to me. Church and State anyone? Then he says “and there will be ushers coming down the aisles (of his mega-church) to collect your checks..just make them out to Anchorage Baptist Temple” I think hmmmmm, I wonder how much of that money makes it into his pocket??? I turned the TV OFF.
Exxon. My husband has worked in the oil patch for a long time. When I asked about Exxon his response was “you are surprised?” They are the biggest North Slope natural gas producer. Without them agreeing to produce it, the “pipeline” will be filled with nothing but hot air. The only way to transport it, safely, is to turn it into liquid natural gas (LNG). Someone has to build the plant that does this. That is seperate, but associated with, building a pipeline. Hmmm. What gets me is that they are going into business with TC and word has it that that means that Alaska (the state that has been most hurt by this company) will be reimbursing them. In other words, we pay them back and they make the majority of the money off the gas. I don’t know all of the ins and outs of the tax deals that come with this. The Permanent Fund comes from dividends from the state investments of tax revenue in the stock market. Alaska is built on the rape of our environment (remember the gold rush? Outsiders coming in and taking the wealth out of the state?)
None of the news even mentions the idea of any of this natural gas getting to the people who live here. There is a pipeline that passes about 3 miles from my house. NO ONE who lives here has access to any of it. It is piped straight to a dock and off-loaded to sell to foreign buyers.
As far as providing jobs goes…how many of the people who worked on the oil pipeline still live here? The majority? I don’t think so. How many people who work on the North Slope live here or contribute anything to local economies? There are a lot of people who live in TX, Louisiana, Arkansas, Wyoming, etc who fly up here to work 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off and never pay a penny for anything once they hit Anchorage International Airport. They do not pay taxes here, they don’t buy stuff here, they don’t even get their hair cut here. It is not easy to get a “slope job” unless you know somebody. It’s definitely a good-ole boys club. Again, I say hmmm.
Last, but not least, on my Sunday morning rant-advice to SP: if you want my respect, get your butt back up here, put a pair of Carhartt’s on, roll your sleeves up, lose the red shoes for a pair of muddy work boots (maybe yellow ones), pick up a crowbar and have a photo-op of you actually helping the people of Alaska rebuild their crushed homes in Eagle. Maybe your kids can come and help too. Then you would have press worth reading and (an added benefit) DL would have nothing to joke about.
Thanks for listening-I often feel that I am surrounded by crazy people here.
oh my, tell us how ya really feel, lol……….

I don’t know all the history behind John McCains connection with Exxon.
Like you idk all the history behind Enron, California gov ROCKSTAR Arnie.
The Ak and Tx situations are different. But you might want to check out the Texas power brokers who were behind those shady Tx dealers.
Gov Davis had to go because he was standing up for Calif. The Tx oil/gas was doing the most for running the energy show in Calif. Davis wasn’t perfect, but the the deals to replace him with a tool rockstar were brokered in Texas. It was not a grass roots people recall situation, except as it was set up behind the scene to look grass roots.
Now the focus is in Alaska. They already have a tool for gov. They just need to keep her acceptable enough that she’s able to be used.
Gov. Sarah Palin – Did you meet with any of these people while you were in Texas ? SPECIFICALLY James Leininger in San Antonio. Did Dr. Leininger or his wife Cecelia donate to S—pac ? They give Perry tons of money.

I am doing some research about Exxon on Google. I found this quote from 2005.
———————————-
“Exxon never paid full compensation for the 1989 oil spill created by its tanker the Valdez. Exxon pays for junk science to deny the existence of global warming. Exxon is the only major oil company trying to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling. You get the picture. Check out Exxpose Exxon.”
————————————-
For those familiar with Exxons most recent actions there….
Are they STILL trying to open up the Artic National Wildlife Refuge..?
Would the money they make there (in the Refuge )be even more profitable than just this gas deal. They usually plan so they can take action years down the road
Would a recent deal like this enable them to get their foot in the door so they can go back to this 2005 Plan…? (Make themselves out to be a good friend )

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This puts Palin’s work to deny endangered status for the Polar Bear into perspective as well, she is paving the way for Exxon to have no barriers to fouling Alaska’s environment even further.
GINO sold out Alaska years ago.
Shannyn was right, The Gryp has no censor!!! Lol.
Isabella – I believe they are tattooed, she is stuck with wearing lipstick every time she steps out of the house, even jogging if a camera is about. That is going to get tedious if it isn’t already. I would think she already regrets that decision.
As for the 2012 run, I think most political nerds agree that unless the Pres really screws up 2012 is a wash. The general feeling is that the repubs will happily sacrifice Palin in 2012, use her to generate funds, they don’t like her at all anyway. If there is the slightest chance of beating the Pres, the old guard wil wipe her off the face of the earth in the primaries.
Say NO to Palin in Politics “groupies think Scarah “must” learn Spanish, LOL, oh that would be a riot! This is so she can win minority votes”
AHaHaHaHaHaHaHa, I was at Taco Del Mar awhile back and some preppy little high school kid came in trying his Spanish ordering from the menu on the cutie behind the counter. Her co-worker (Both Mexican) was laughing his frickin ass off at the kid. I can only IMAGINE if Palin, tried a few sentences we would have enough late night fodder for 10 years & maybe a war with Mexico.
groupies think Scarah “must” learn spanish, LOL, oh that would be a riot! This is so she can win minority votes.
Everyone should take a quick detour over to Gryphen’s place, and read the comments on the “In Palin’s pocket” post. Is it the “icebergh” preview?
crystalwolf aka caligrl “The echo chamber is having a “webathon” to raise money for her on the 15th”
How many of these morons giving up car insurance to donate to Palin, are aware she has a $135,000 a year job with per diems, with pfds, kickbacks and an abled body husband who should be working?
Are they trying to pay for her reimbursement to the state for taking vacations to places such as Iron Dog, to watch Todd, race? How pathetic when most of them never get more then 50 miles from their own backyard for a holiday.
PALIN HATES THEM and they keep digging in. LMAO. They deserve to be poor.
LOL, that would be nice……but, the fricken weird thing is Scarah loves to play the underdog that plays to win, at any cost.
“Intriguing comment from Murphy: GOP may “give up” on 2012 (can’t beat Obama), and put up Romney or Palin to run knowing either would lose, then focus on 2016 as a come-back date.”
UK Lady, are her lips really tattooed? That was such an 80’s thing. The creep Micheal Jackson did that kind of maniac thing. Her eyebrows are like DAMN!!!
Palin, did not volunteer for the make-over someone got ahold of her and whispered sweetNOTHINGS probably Fred Malek, knowing when she returns in AK the SLUTTY FLIGHT ATTENDANT look returns.
LMAO, Palin, is a PAWN and doesn’t even know it.
As long as she gets TABLOID headlines she screws real news and anytime there needs to be a GOP, distracting she will get free tickets to a Yankees game and travel vouchers for one of her kids to accompany.
from the Wolfe Blizzer youtube transcripts, lol………stupid stupid Scarah. I would have LOVED to hear what McCain and staffers said behind closed doors. And Scarah, this was YOU doing the damage, YOU can’t blame or point the finger at anyone. I love how he puts it, “a rather blunt statement”, lol and what Dana says about response from staff. “speechless”
So who the frick does she think she’s fooling by waiting to “reveal”, everyone knows she plans to run. Any guesses on “her strategic timing”? Any guesses to what drama will surround the “big” announcement? I’m sure she and Megamouth have this all planned out. I hope it blows up in her face.
part of the transcript:
“She (Bash) has been covering the McCain campaign reaction from the rather blunt statement from Sarah Palin that she would in fact be interested in leading the Republican Party going forward after Tuesday if they lose?
Dana Bash: I just got off of the phone, Wolf, with a senior McCain adviser and I read this person the quote and I think it is fair to say that this person was speechless. There was a long pause and I just heard a huh on the other end of the phone.
This is certainly not a surprise to anybody who has watched Sarah Palin that she is interested in potentially future national runs, and she is being urged to by a lot of people inside of the Republican Party if they do lose, but it is an if and people inside of the McCain campaign do not want any discussion that has an if in front of it six days before the election, they dont want any discussion at all, any kind of hypothetical talk about running for the next time around. So certainly, this is not at least initially being received well inside of the McCain campaign.”
I’ll trade putting money in her coffers for putting nails in her coffin any day! This does not bode well for her. I couldn’t care less about her personal life or family and believe it should not be the focus of bringing her down, but hey – she’s the snarky one and since she’s showing it off BIG TIME – it all helps reveal what a nasty, lying politician she is to many who hadn’t quite noticed yet. I don’t care what the pundits or newscasters say about it – women all over the Internet are freaking out at her putting Willow on Snark Central Stage.
Palin, shouting rape on Willow, touched the core of every parent & anyone who has ever been thisclose to a child, even those who claim to love her. There is no coming back from that kindof exploitation.
The few out there who shout the Palin war cry and spend hours on ExtraTV polls are still only doing so because they have created a , “Family”, A DYSFUNCTIONAL BE ALL HATE MONGERING FAMILY, but at least these strays belong and waking up & banning together has become routine.
Many forum fanatics, as we hear on Shannyn, their conscious are telling them, as is the pit of their stomach, Palin, is a hideous exploiting nothing sacred lunatic and they are taking those baby steps to distance themselves.
Like any controlling relationship or when the dream ends, takes time to believe, grieve, except the investment is lost.
Palin, will not come back from this past week.

The joke feud is an easy way to get the asto turfing tea bags to RISE UP and to hit the base up for some cash. She can stop commenting on that and let asto turfers do all the dirty work. If she looked nuts they’ll claim something like it was because she cares so much about standing up for her cubs and all womankind. They are probably working on re-branding her right now. As a rock star like Madonna, it is all about reinventing.
~~~~~~~~~~~
The echo chamber is having a “webathon” to raise money for her on the 15th, I tried to post last night got caught in mod. They want to raise all the money for her frivolous ethics complaints.
Ha Ruth buzzi, maybe we should start calling her that now? LOL!
On “Meet The Press” today: Mike Murphy (Rep strategist) and Joe Scarborough agreed that Sarah Palin’s attacks on Letterman are not helping the GOP at all. And attacks on Sotomayer and Obama will put the GOP into “an ice age”. Scarborough said the focus needs to be on conservatism, not Republicanism.
Two voices of reason lost in a forest of nuts and fruits.
Intriguing comment from Murphy: GOP may “give up” on 2012 (can’t beat Obama), and put up Romney or Palin to run knowing either would lose, then focus on 2016 as a come-back date.
Isabella – I thought she was 46? not that it matters to anyone but the Narcissa from Wasilla.
I think she will be getting very jittery about what she wears now. That stern schoolmarm look with the waggy fingers was a hoot! But how can she go back to the SFA? The Wasilla bag lady look she used to favour is not an option. What to do?
And being real beotch, those eyebrows, what’s that all about?, plus she is so gonna regret that tattoo lipliner, not a good look in about 10 years.
OK, I’m done 😆
I don’t know all the history behind John McCains connection with Exxon. But I FiredogLake they had a video clip called ” Exxon John”. Hmmm…
The story itself does not delve into the connection or background though…. and I don’t know the details or history.
GINO may have met or connected with some of these contacts that John had.

see! this is an example of the “crazy” repubs thinking. It’s hard to believe, talk about tin hat’s. (note it all starts with abortion and goes to government takeover).
“A few weeks ago I suggested a similar Alinsky model used by the Far Left based on 4 factors:
1)Contract the population with abortion on demand so that there is a shortage of future labor
2)Government using #1 to justify more immigration and overlooking illegal immigration
3)Community organizers agitating in communities amongst these new arrivals and stirring the pot of class envy, highlighting the historical exploitation of minorities by the white man, and promoting victimhood among various groups.
4)By uniting these groups into a ‘common front’ of radical left-wing (Marxist)political action (identity politics) with the other allies of the Far Left, orchestrate the takeover of the government and the imposition of a totalitarian state
And the point I made at the time it all starts with ABORTION.”
OMG, I’m really getting a kick out of the fight going on over at ADN today! Maybe they gave their robo-monitor the day off?
In fact, she probably tracked down the stylist(s) who gave her the streaked hair extensions and toenail decals and demanded they all be fired because it’s all their fault. Not really, but you know she wanted to!
You are all dead on the mark with the Slutty Flight Attendant remark – exactly what I thought when I saw that stupid school marm look she tried to affect with the CNN & Today show. I totally cracked up – hit her where it hurts the most, even if it’s by accident from someone who is yet still clueless on her soulless persona. The kids are not even secondary on her list – the only musk oxen she wants to circle up to protect her are named Botox and Plastic Boots.
FWIW, all of you Mudpups who have said it is the “slutty flight attendant” remark which put Palin over the edge due to her Narcissistic Personality Disorder, I concur! My hat is off to you all! (Well, my hat is off to all Mudpups always, as I admire everyone here so much.)
Everything else Palin has done in this situation is fabricated (lies about what Letterman actually said “statutory rape,” Todd’s lie about “rape,” and evidently Willow’s actual attendance past the 6th inning of the game–if she was even there–is outside of the joke’s scope). Palin jumped the shark on this; she appears nutty once again.
Who wants a leader who lets fashion commentary throw them into an irrational, crazy ire? Why does fashion matter to her so much? Would a critical reporter from “W” be able to start nuclear war if Palin were near the codes by mentioning that her clothes looked Russian? Palin is a fashion disaster, but it remains one of her most obvious Achilles’ heels.
BTW…….I listened to a bit of Tub of Lard Rushbo yesterday while in the car……wow, he keeps pounding to his audiance that Obama is “ruining” and completely “destroying” our system and that “no one” will step up, be “honest” about it and stop him.
No frickin wonder the repub wingbats are spewing hate and fear! He literally went on and on about it, he HATES Obama! he really, really does…….so this is what he’s sharing with crazies who may do something dangerous. I get the feeling FatBut could care less if something bad did happen, that’s how far off the deep end he is right now.
So we have a doctor murdered, a Holocaust Museum attacked and people shot and killed and just that one person intended to do far more harm.
I think Rush needs to lose his damn job!
“What Palin needs now is to “set up a professional operation at the staff level,” Jacobus said.”
LMAO, can you imagine Palin, giving Meg, walking papers? Oh, that will be the end of them both. Meg. she knows she has cut her own throat by being the pauper to Palin’s princess and there is nowhere to go but back to the kitchen. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, they will drag on another down to poverty. At least Meg’s husband has a job.
http://www.adn.com/palin/story/830200.html
UK Lady “I am quite convinced that the remark about the “slutty flight attendant look” cut GINO to the quick.”
Of course. Palin’s entire world revolves around how she looks, how she is perceived by the tightness of her a s s. Pretty sad sack way to live at 45 years old with that big 50 looming. For someone shallow like her time is a noose.

What did Halcro think about the Exxon deal? did he say anything other than waiting till open season? did he say anything about the Denali pipeline having a near a year jump on TC in FCC pre-filing? it would seem Denali would be ahead of TC and get the bids first.

“If McCain-Palin had of won Chrysler and GM would still have crashed, Wall Street would still have collapsed, credit and banking would have dried up, all of the jobs lost would still have been lost, and they would have done nothing but cluck cluck and say that the “free market” (which is an oxymoron) must be allowed to play out. It would be a much worse disaster.
And then there was Jon Voight and his disgusting speech. Texas Senator John Cornyn, another fine example of Republican brain power and empathy, referred to the Voight hate tirade as “…refreshing.”

@Priceless, no offense, but Letterman DID have a new Friday show. And Sandra Bullock was there promoting a movie set in Alaska named THE PROPOSAL. They showed a clip in which 80 something year-old Betty White said the phrase “knocked up.” The audience ROARED.
And so it will go.
Well, if I were able to tell Dave what to do on Monday’s show, I’d make the following suggestion: Several times, Dave has had guests on his show that support worthwhile causes. For example, in his recent interview with Julia Roberts, they discussed Paul Newman’s Hole in the Wall Foundation and the work it does with kids. (They are both big supporters). So, he needs a good representative for women’s issues, the very issue that Sarah Palin has not been supporting until just last week. He can call it “a teachable moment” and come out looking like a rose. Sarah has just discovered a new ‘calling’ when her record shows that she has not supported sex education, the right to choose, help for abused children, you know the list. Maybe you all have even better ideas for Dave’s Monday show, or his shows all next week.
I’m laughing so hard I almost fell off my chair! A GAG order on Palin – she would explode! She lives for Snark. She lives to be it, do it, spread it all around. She reminds me so much of the Packlids on Next Generation:
“We look for things. Things to make us go.”
Palin the Packlid: “I look for Things. Things to make me MAD.”

Thanks for the info on the Open Season. I don’t know how much confidence to place in energy estimates right now – the demand picture is always so skewed when the economy is down. The current glut of natural gas could be taken up quickly once the economy picks up. Then again, if we continue to have an oversupply, it will likely increase the availability of N/G for automobile use as they look to expand their markets. That’s no panacea for the environment, but it’s an improvement over burning petrol fuel.
I think that Micheal Moore is a like a “voice in the wilderness”, and ALL his work should be required watching/reading for every American. Unfortunately, the people who hate him most, when asked, have never seen or read anything of his, but listen only to their right wing-nut mind controllers on the radio or elsewhere. His statements are verified and annotated in bibliographies of his books (not lies-look it up) and he is a ‘warrior for righteousness’ for everybody, even those that hate him. A brave man that we should all be thankful for…I look forward to everything he comes up with, as a eye opener, beyond what the popular and corporate funded media wants us to see.
I was checking out the ak website and saw that Sean Parnell Lt. Gov. was the opening for the Special Olympics at East Anchorage. No mention of this in the ADN but they did cover the breast cancer run. Things that make you go, hmmmmmmm.
Folks, my take (and I’m stickin’ to it..) is that Palin dressed her kid like hoochiemamma jr, painted a big, red bullseye on her front and back, then put her in front of the camera’s. She then went fishing, to see what she could hook. AND she hooked Letterman. Now, he does not tape a show on Friday’s, so the GINOBIMO has owned the airwaves and newscycle for the past 3 days. I pray dave Letterman introduces his attorney on TV on Monday evening. Showing the defimation lawsuit and the GAG ORDER that was filed earlier that day against the Palins. They can’t call someone a rapist and peidophile when it is not true. And with the GAG order, she won’t be able to spout her crap bout the non issue.
Take back the airwaves dave. You can do it. I was not a letterman watcher, but i’LL BE one now!

If her handlers have noticed the crazed drug look, they may have her in detox or looking for ways to cover the symptoms that are showing. We haven’t seen any babies looking drugged lately.
Honesty in Gov.
did you see this in the ADN Ass/Ear?
“Speaking of jaws dropped in surprise, Rick tells Ear he was at that Exxon/Point Thomson thank-you event last week and personally saw Bob Bell’s jaw hit the floor when Sarah said “God bless Exxon” during her remarks. That was before this past week’s announcement that the oil company we all love to hate plans to honor us by making money off our gas.”

Yes, she can name just one – and I believe that person will stand in the position until the next session where he/she will be confirmed by the Legislature. Obviously a less than worthy candidate w/ their nose up the Fluffy Gov’s you know what can do some damage in that time. Since she seems intent on pissing off Alaskans, I certainly hold out no hope that she will choose someone who is qualified and impartial in the manner needed to uphold and interpret the law for the state. It’s one of her little vendettas you know – she’s so full of them. It’s one of the many things you can count on from the First Twit.

What are a few zeros among friends? 😉 I was thinking millions and typed thousands.
Has anybody in Alaska ever seen a connection to Palin and Exxon because she is to very adept at being able to hide her plans. She is so transparent.
Has she had talks… or is one of her advisors a ‘ Friend ‘ of someone who is connected with Exxon. Because if all else fails (politically ) she may want
some ‘ payback’ (quid pro quo ) in the form of some high-paying Lobbyist position or be as a PAID consultant on one of their Boards.
All the people who leave Washington get jobs on ‘K Street’ and get set up for life.
Has Greta’s husband ,Coale, worked with Exxon in the past or how about Fred Malek who still has this ‘ love affair ‘ with GINO.
Has Malek ever worked for or lobbied for Exxon or the Oil Industry….?
Sarah loves ‘ Power or Money ‘…. nothing else motivates her.
“I am sure none of them counted on her being such an ungrateful greedy wench with such ignorance to bite the hand that feed her family.”
Nope – they didn’t – people don’t know what to do when their little minion rises up in all of the glory of a striking snake – she would have done the same to McCain and I’m sure he knows it now. I tried to warn people who I knew – and they laughed and said “oh, she’ll be handled”. I said no she won’t. They said yes she will. After the election, I received several horrified emails that she wouldn’t go away. I said I told you so. Sometimes it’s no fun at all to correctly predict the twittiness of Palin.

I am quite convinced that the remark about the “slutty flight attendant look” cut GINO to the quick. I am convinced that that is the underlying reason for this vituperative attack on DL. None of the other jokes about her daughters has elicited ANY response. It’s just a curious coincidence. I think the aging beauty queen who is not aging gracefully and is obviously in competition with her very pretty daughters is extremely sensitive about her looks – that narcissistic thing doncha know.

honestyinGov “Someone says she needs to concentrate on doing her job in Alaska so she has a record to run on. That was how she got noticed in the first place.”
Exactly what Katie, said MONTHS ago Palin, scoffed at.
Ya all do know, Palin, isn’t “In” politics because she has some ambitions about policy & laws right? She is in this because she saw the city council/mayors gig as a way to be popular and with her party affiliation & vanity got her scooped up by Stevens, Young and Allen, thinking they had a puppet.
I am sure none of them counted on her being such an ungrateful greedy wench with such ignorance to bite the hand that feed her family.
I never say this yesterday on Huffpo. Maybe because it was in the ‘ Media section’ rather than Politics or Front Page.

mae lewis “The big question is: does she really think that by protesting she’ll make the jokes stop??”
Bigger question, does she really want *IT* to stop?
I agree completely with London Bridges #47! The proof is how Sarah toned down her look for the CNN, Today Show interviews. Severe hairdo, less makeup, yes the flight attendant remark hit her.
I think the other part of the story is that one week before, every story about Sarah was unflattering: stealing (excuse me, quoting without attribution) Newt’s remarks, inappropriate dress, that on-again off-again business at the GOP dinner (where her ego really did take a hit).
She has been the subject of late night jokes for quite some time; this one connected with her in some way. The big question is: does she really think that by protesting she’ll make the jokes stop??
In one of the recent interviews, I think the Wolf Blitzer one, SP said (in fact, bragged) that the natural-gas pipeline would be built with private funds. Did I misunderstand her? If what she said is true, what is the $500,000 that AK is paying TransCanada? Am I missing something?
Someone on another thread made an interesting statement that the $500,000 XOM was ultimately fined for the Valdez mess will seemingly find its way back into their coffers via the TransCanada deal. Seems like this was the plan of SP and XOM from the get go. Smoke and mirrors.

I don’t think Palin’s manufactured outrage against Letterman has anything to do with a joke about her daughter, given the plethora of similar jokes that have been out there from many other late night programs for months now (Leno, Maher, SNL). The real issue is that Letterman hit a nerve with his “slutty flight attendant” comment. And that’s what all this misplaced flap is about. She DOES dress this way and can’t take the heat for being called out on it. Those photos of Palin at the Memorial Day program speak volumes and are yet one example of her tacky and innappropriate behavior. And yes, she cakes on the makeup in a garish way, too.
The truth hurts, Saracuda. And your ridiculous response only magnifies the juvenile thinking and behavior that Alaskans have come to expect from you. Please just grow up and go away. You’re an embarrassment to yourself and the great State of Alaska.

I also notice Sarah is developing a look that can best be described as the “W” sneer. Mom always said if you make faces, your face may freeze like that!
I see ADN continues to run the story of the person who is being investigated for providing funds against Pebble Mine. I find it no different than Prevo behind the gay rights issue as in bringing in kids, signs, etc. This was paid for how??
I don’t notice ADN of course following the issue which is raised in a video by Dennis Zaki on the Alaska Report site entitled “Pebble Mine geologist has no idea what chemicals are in the products he’s using?”
I’d be more interested to know why the geologist is not showing much concern to follow up to find out information not contained on the MSDS forms relating to fish toxicity. Fishing is the main roadblock in this mine issue. As a customer you push your supplier right back to the manufacturer for a total break out of the chemical in that all the components should be identified. The “unknown” on the MSDS is the typical lazy way of the corporations and they’ve been allowed to get away with it. I was my supplier’s worst nightmare on these MSDS sheets for a number of years when employed in that job.
He stated they stopped using it — yea, when they were questioned about it. States they were “over cautious”. Over cautious means you don’t use things until you know everything about them — they didn’t. May be safe for humans doesn’t mean it’s safe for fish. If he doesn’t know what’s in it, how can he truly state it’s organic. It’s like One Size Fits All T-Shirts — they don’t fit all.
Also found the way she questioned Mr. Zaki as to his credentials – I applaud Mr. Zaki as I probably would have asked her to come closer — thwack. With CNN or private — it matters why??
Those wondering why Saint Sarah is not running against breast cancer should be aware that the far right anti-abortion nutjobs who worship her, believe abortion CAUSES
BREAST CANCER, and they try to disrupt cancer fund raisers.
Sarah is playing to the base (note dual meaning) once again…

@Woodstove,
Very interesting post!! What the hell is going on over there? And sorry about your aching ass! 🙂
Isabella – re: Halcro
No, no commitment from him yet. It’s a sad commentary on Palin when, after listening to her, I still have to go listen to a potential candidate for her position to hear a coherent, informed opinion on the same topic.
Isabella,
Halcro is leaving all options open. No commitment to any specific political position.

“It was the worst day of my life.
My doctor described the day of my surgery as the worst in his professional career.
This was in 2004 and my doctors were able to move quickly to save my life without worrying about breaking the law. My doctor knew the procedure and was willing to perform it; something that has already become rare and will be rarer still if doctors have to put their lives on the line to perform this life-saving medical procedure. If it’s you or your daughter, will you be so lucky?”
Fortunately or unfortunately most people are unaware of just how many health and life threatening complications are still associated with pregnancies.
That the hysterical right seems totally unconscious to the fact that the saving of women’s lives and reproductive capacity are the purpose of essentially any late term abortion, does speak volumes about their “compassion’ for life and for reproductive capacity.
An increasing number of chruch owned hospitals will not allow life saving late term emergency procedures. That is frightengin and sickening.
Both my mother and an aunt were left to die as a result of complications from labor and delivery, becasue they were in a church owned hospital. This was back in the late ’40s and early 50’s. Fortunately both survived, but not thanks to the hospital.
No one in MSM has discussed like Shannyn did on her show last night, all the other comedian comments like Conan and the penalty box, or Leno or SNL on Todd and incest. No wing flapping when those were aired. Why is it just Letterman and why now?
I have referred to it as cherry picking like they do the bible. GINO doesn’t appear to have any speeches on her agenda and therefore is using this to keep herself relevant in the media. Also a distraction to the Exxon issue.
I’m sure Willow wishes the ground would open to crawl back into as she had not been seen for months. Life is about how your kids are supposed to embarrass you — not the other way around.
I did not listen to Andrew last night but used to listen to his show and visit his blog. He is a little right of center for me but at least has a brain and uses it. And he is quite informed on the gas line issues. Open season refers to the timeline when the supposed gas line, that in my opinion is not going to be built, opens up the bidding for the producers on the slope to commit to putting their gas in the line. The timing of this whole Exxon- Trans Canada is bizarre. The lower 48 is not clamoring for Alaska’s gas, in fact they are awash in natural gas right now with more to come. Thanks to the new technology of getting gas from shale, the gas on the slope is not a energy security issue. Murkowski and Begich and Young should know this. This is all politics and I think a way for Exxon to give money to TC to spend and get matched at 90 cents on the dollar until the 500,000 is gone. As usual somebody is lying, is it the gas producers in the lower 48 or can a pipe line be built from the north slope, with its cost and tariffs, that can bring gas to the market that can compete? America’s biggest problem is letting oil be traded on the stock market, there is no reason for it other than to make the rich richer as we pay their dividends every time we fill up. Where is Obama on this issue? Supply and demand my aching ass.
Has there been any word on when GINO will be arriving back in Alaska…..?
Has she Tweeted…?
I hope someone has time to make up some signs.
I like the ” I Heart (big RED heart ) David Letterman”
I can see that big sourpuss smile on her face now…. ;-(
Say NO to Palin in Politics Says: where’s the bad gov been the past several days?
Good question. And not a word yesterday?
In the “Can” sounds appropriate for those CEO’s.
where’s the bad gov been the past several days? is Scarah back or on vacation getting a face lift? or intensive political machine training with Cheney and Rove.
@CCH
The Palinbots are all over the place
———————-
they are kool-aid drinkin’ zombies…they know not what they do…they’re still being controlled by palin telling them it’s God’s work…whatever!!!
On ABC with George S. the Palin subject with Letterman came up this week.
They mentioned she should have been offended, one guy said it was not smart to argue with a person who is on EVERY night.
They bring up she was defending her ‘ kids’… WRONG. (right over their heads )
She MADE it about her kids. (Faux outrage )The MSM won’t do their homework I guess and report the facts. Not a mention that other comedians did the SAME thing either. Hmmm..?
Question: Does she have a future with the GOP…? Somebody says she needs to concentrate on doing her job in Alaska so she has a record to run on. That was how she got noticed in the first place. (Like THAT is going to happen)
Somebody says she is now known as a ‘ celebrity’… rather than a Politician. She doesn’t speak about the ‘issues’. ” No Kidding..?”
That’s sad about the ADN because McClatchy has the reporters that didn’t fall for the WMD bs being hyped by Cheney. I think they came over from the Knight Ridder group. One guy is Landay, and I’m blanking on the other guy’s name. They have been on Bill Moyer on PBS and put the other reporters of the Iraq was involved in 9/11 stories to shame for being Bush admin tools.
Not all Texans like or believe in Sarah or the GOP.

Oh and there is always that state you’re supposed to be governing…what’s it called? Alaska. Remember, you’re the governor of Alaska! Sure it’s only 626,932 people (not nearly as many as even one paltry Nielson point representing those watching as you desperately try to keep your media- contrived feud with Letterman alive on the Today Show so you do not peter out from the public eye for a nanosecond) but they are kinda like depending on you and stuff.

Have you ever watched Penn and Teller, they are 1,000 times more informative. Entertaining also. Loved when they got people to sign a ban on water http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yi3erdgVVTw Their carbon credits episode is a classic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LprG2ZD37GQ.
I listened to Andrew Halcro last night on KBYR after Shannyn’s show – I think the host was Michael Method. Andrew’s perspective on the gas pipeline is that everything hinges on next years “open season.” This is not the first reference I’ve heard to “open season”, but from context I haven’t been able to pin down its meaning. Would anyone care to shed some light on that??

Thanks for the links – I somehow think Levi might get famous for more than being a baby daddy. He will be famous for being the one who spills the beans.
Can’t really comment on Michael Morre, don’t know enough, but at least I’d heard of him and knew he was famous, more than can be said of that imbecile Zeigler.
yeah, I know… but being under mommy’s roof is still the same as being under mommy’s roof, eh? All in the name of abstinence.
sauerkraut …LOL…’he knocked up Sarah Palin’s daughter while mommy dearest was in the room next over.’
correction: they were downstairs….LOL
makes a big difference – don’t ya know
This comment will likely rankle a few ankles but here goes…
Michael Moore often is the id to rush limbaugh’s ego. They both use similar tactics to score cheap political points against the “opposing” side. I won’t watch him despite the likelihood of receiving several copies of his works for xmas, birthday and father’s day. I think some of Moore’s methods are below the belt and some of his “facts” are questionable.

The other link was for wireimage.com. If you enter Levi’s name you will see all fabulous 19 red carpet pics of him. It seems you can take the kid out of Wasilla …..

I’m curious… who is this woman?
Great topic- very relevant, Mr. Moore. I’ll be watching it with youngest daughter, who voted for Obama- not darling H, the conservative Repug. Hey, no one’s perfect 🙂
Nobody does it better than Moore.
He is truly a hero. Many of my favorite heroes cite Mr. Moore as being their hero as well so I am obviously in good company.

I don’t want to imagine what quality of movie this might be but I sure hope Levi gets some excercise, a complete make-over and some lessons in how to dress himself. I want the Campaign Ken doll back.
Looks like young Levi is making some moves, article n ADN under Alaska Ear.
WAIT, WAIT … Here’s real proof that hell has frozen over. During the big Letterman-Sarah flap, Levi Johnston was in Los Angeles, a petted and pampered guest at a women’s empowerment group event.
ADVERTISEMENT
Ear is not making this up. It’s called Go Girl Worldwide and is run by an actress wannabe named Jennifer Murphy, who also offered Levi a role in an unspecified upcoming movie.
P.I./bodyguard Tank Jones went with him. He got offered a movie gig too.
(See adn.com/newsreader for the tape. And if you go to http://www.gogirlworldwide.com and click around for a while, you’ll find pictures of Levi, Tank and babes).
Meanwhile, Anchorage attorney Rex Butler, the Svengali behind this whole “Being Levi Johnston” phenom, said his client has two book offers and two reality show offers under discussion. One of them is a reality hunting show.
Tee hee. That promo is fuuuuuuunny. I like the new, slightly more gentle Michael Moore. Bring it.
ALL SARAH, ALL THE TIME … People running the Michael Reagan appearance here were a little nonplussed when Our Sarah showed up, prepared to speak, trailing her own “introducer,” right-wing radiomouth Eddie Burke. Apparently the right-wing radiomouth already on the program, Rick Rydell, wasn’t acceptable. Rick’s fans say it’s because he’s been known to utter a disparaging word about our governess, but who knows.
adn.com
Poor poor Sarah, worried that she might have the proper introduction for her introduction? She is always going to make it about her, above and beyond anything else, she wants to be the one in the spotlight.

“It was the worst day of my life. …”
Thank YOU for bringing that link! Very sad & profound article. Too bad, since “Eve Ate The Apple” so many radicals don’t consider the Woman/Mother’s life is valuable.
I was wondering if anyone who watched the Palin interveiw with Wolf Blitzer noticed that “faux pas” that Sarah made when discussing “missiles” and how it showed her lack of knowledge of even the most basic of information. Large and small missles instead of short range and long range missles? Seriously?
I also noticed that a good portion of what she said was almost the exact same things she said to Hannity in her interview with him.
Beats the heck out of more trivial GINO news!! You ROCK, Michael!!
Michael Moore, the carmudgeon who looks like your childhood teddy bear!
CANNOT wait to see Michael Moore’s new pic. He is like an Alfred Hitchcock, in how you never know what horrors he will dredge up. Just seemingly ordinary little facts in our normal existence, then creeping into the nightmare, as normal people are confronting these days. Like “The Birds”. One, two, a few, seems so harmless, until scary sh!t starts pelting the windows at the formerly safe abode – provided the people still HAVE their abode & not booted out due to foreclosure. “This Time It’s Personal”, oh my!

Good dairy on Kos about right wing hate –
Virtually all of us saw this surreal tone of anger and fear starting back in the campaign when Sarah Palin’s rhetoric of palling around with terrorists encouraged the nutjobs to spew their taunts and insults. When will she be held responsible for inciting the right wing fringe? The supposed liberal media today continues to give her relevancy and to promote her as a legitimate contender for 2012.
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2009/6/13/742221/-Frank-Rich-is-looking-for-a-Republican-leader-with-guts.
I’ll have to prepare a little statement that I can tuck into the can if the trailer shows the next time I’m at the movies. Something like “I’ll give to your cause if you give my brother a job” or “I <3 B of A.” The possibilities are limitless.
LOL Beethoven would approve wholeheartedly. 😉
Whenever we hear of a major CEO down to his last few million, my husband and I look at each other and say, “What do you think? Should we sling him a few bucks?”
We do indeed feel a great deal of sympathy for these people, but our program of giving never seems to have the flexibility to include them. We apologize.
If you haven’t seen this, the headline story over at ADN is:
“TRIP OUTSIDE SHOWS PALIN’S STAR STILL BLAZES”
Can you believe this? The Palinbots are all over the place. I bet they knew the article was going to be there. It’s 2:00 a.m. PDT and the comments are flying.
Now, I have to go to bed with a stomach ache!
