Shannyn Moore on Countdown Tonight

Tune in tonight and see Shannyn Moore on Countdown with Keith Olbermann.  They’ll be talking … Death Panels.  They just won’t die.

I got a sneak “preview” and it’s going to be a good one!

Live blog it in the comments and I’ll throw up the clip as soon as it becomes available.

    No doubt ride2recovery does good work — but their donors are sure a dodgy rightwing bunch:
    Gary Sinise current bid $2000
    Frank Luntz $510
    Sean Hannity (zero bids)
    Bret Baier (Fox) $500
    lunch with Karl Rove $7500
    Herself, one pre-approved bid @ $25K

  2. jc in co says:

    any recent photos of princess winky since she returned from exile? if so, any visible scars or hair plugs?

  3. Alaskan Sisu says:

    I can hear the bidding war backfiring from my porch!

    Wait, I hear one more background noise – it’s Alaska’s people belly laughing and wiping their tears of laughter over her ghost writer – they’re just joking…
    “Are you kidding us? This is just a joke isn’t it, also, too? ”
    One word says it all: DUH.

    I guess they didn’t get the memo or haven’t removed their blinders yet, also, too.

    I believe they got the hook out on Megamouth too….any speculations? Was her mouth back-firing on her too MUCH, also, too?

  4. NY Dem says:

    You’re right lissa – there is NO way she is doing this for FREE ! ‘You betcha” she’s getting a cut of the proceeds, or some kind of financial arrangement in advance.

    Shows how much she REALLY cares about this (or any) charity.

    “I get mine first; any left over goes to the charity”.

    it’s ALL about Sarah.

    Great article from Geoffrey Dunn in the Huff Po. He eviscerates Palin.

    Yes, this is an awesome post.
    The best line: She’s the Milli Vanilli of American politics

    Hilarious and spot on.

  6. lissa says:

    Anyone who would pay to hear Sarah speak at any event, or to have dinner with her, obviously has money to burn. Said people should do some serious self reflection about how they can best spend their excess money. Giving it to Palin (I’d bet she gets a cut of even charity events) is irresponsible.

  7. lissa says:

    I’m gonna log onto ebay and in the “ask the seller a question,” I’m gonna ask about Sarah’s wild ride!!

  8. sauerkraut says:

    The more I think about this pre-approval requirement, the more I wonder why she included it. What or who is she afraid of? She could really get the auction dollars up there if only she’d remove the pre-approval process.

  9. BlancheMadison says:

    To clarify, that’s 10 positive BUYING feedback.

  10. BlancheMadison says:

    Didn’t have a chance to check the ebay dinner auction until this morning–amazing. I’ve been selling on ebay for the past 12 years, and you can’t even begin to sell on their site until you have 10 feedback (this seller/foundation only has one, for the auction of a $76 cassette deck). How did these auctions, at these opening bid prices, get approved?

    Must be the hypnotic personalities of SP, Hannity and Karl R! Gag! BTW, no bids yet on any of ’em . . .

    #51 Kath, It is a play on words “euthanasia” or Youth in Asia, Children in Asia. Gilda Radners character on SNL did a who riff on it way back when.
    —–
    Thanks! It went right over my head. But I can see how after the SNL riff, everyone else understood. Pretty funny.

  12. NY Dem says:

    Also, check out this other fine print on the auction:

    Release
    The winning bidder agrees, warrants and represents that you will not in any way advertise, promote, market or, utilize Sarah Palin’s or the Ride 2 Recovery’s name, likeness, voice, photograph, signature, logo or image in any manner, for any reason at any time without the prior written consent of Sarah Palin or the Ride 2 Recovery. In order to make the experience more enjoyable and interesting, the dinner will be “off the record,” and the winning bidder and his/her guests agree not to record the conversation, take notes or quote Sarah Palin in any manner in any media including blogs or other online communications.

    ————————————————–

    Isn’t that like, Communist ? Muzzling the free speech of a private individual ?

    So, you can fork over $25,000; go to the dinner, and you can’t talk about it afterward ? Ever ?

    Nice; and typical SP.

    BTW, I can see it now; this Ride 2 Recovery program sets this whole thing up; they actually find a winning, qualified, meet-all-requirements bidder; everything is set up; the bidder and party fly to Alaska for the dinner, limo to the diner (BTW, all travel is at the bidder’s expense too); they sit down at the table (most likely in a dank, private back room of course); and guess what — SP is a NO-SHOW !

    I can hear Meg whats-her-name now: Road 2 Recovery ? We’ve never heard of them, and Governor Sarah Palin has no connection with them.

  13. NY Dem says:

    Re: Fine print on Dinner with Palin post:

    R U kidding me ?!? Minimum bid is $25,000; AND I have to pay for the dinner too ?!?

    Dinner isn’t INCLUDED in the $25,000 ?!?!

    NO WAY any one like Keith Olbermann or any other democrat would ever get through the screening process mentioned in that fine print.

    What a joke this auction is

    SARAH NEEDS TO PRE-APPROVE HER BIDDERS!! BWAH-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!

    —————————————

    Just like she had to “pre-approve” her interviewers as well.

    Nothing ever changes, does it ?

  16. Irishgirl says:

    Shannyn knocked it out of the park as usual. I loved that she said that Palin did not write it. 🙂

  17. BigSlick says:

    My 11 year old son was not allowed to watch President Obama at school today, so he came home and asked me for permission to watch it online.

    My boy is pretty damn smart.

    He then watched Countdown, and told me he thinks Shannyn Moore is awesome.

    Oh, and did I say he’s cool, too. And smart. Very smart. And handsome…

  18. Polly says:

    Check out the link posted at #50, previous page, last comment -if you haven’t seen any of the Ebay “NOT to have dinner with Sarah” auction items. Good American citizens having fun, and being real.

  19. She brings her own guests, who can tackle anything smart the bidder might have to say.

    I´d like to hear what Parnell has to say about her using his title.

  20. Lani Formerly Bash Budweiser Palin says:

    Kath, I only just figured it out myself. “Youth in Asia” ridicules “euthansia” death panel hysteria.

  21. CRFlats says:

  22. Kath the Scrappy says:

    Maybe I’m clueless, but what is that

    “children in Asia” comment referring to? Can someone explain?

  23. Lani Formerly Bash Budweiser Palin says:

    OMG, there are so many funny auctions that promise you won’t have dinner w/$ Palin! Totally lolz. I copied several here: https://themudflats.net/forum/index.php/topic,8089.0.html

  24. seattlefan says:

    Susan in PA:

    Lol! Keith will never pass that bastion of conditions and none of her minions can afford the low bar of $25K. This will surely turn out to be a “fixed” (faux) win of whacko right wing nut peeps paid for by Murdoch or the RNC. They will be plucked from the rallies of last fall and you can bet whomever wins will not be capable of making a minimum bid of 25K.

    I’m thinking of Keith bidding under a fake name. I would contribute!

  25. Lani Formerly Bash Budweiser Palin says:

    There are some great ebay auctions for NOT dinner with palin. Here’s one – be sure to scroll down for the comments! http://cgi.ebay.com/NOT-Dinner-with-Sarah-Palin-Dinner-with-a-real-family_W0QQitemZ300346179813QQcategoryZ16071QQcmdZViewItem

  26. Bones AK says:

    I don’t want to be in the same state as her, let alone have dinner with her.

  27. boodog says:

    Susan in PA, with so many conditions (she didn’t write THAT), it kinda take your appetite away..

  28. Polly says:

    Shannyn was great as usual. She is so at ease, and makes a wonderful viable down-to-earth commentator! Just a girl from Homer…

    Homer, population averaging 6,000, sure has crunched out some moxie people who have gone national- Tom Bodett, Jewel, Shannyn…

    (not sure if moxie is the appropriate word, just sounded good)

  29. ENOUGHwiththetrainwreck says:

    shannon and keith were both quite witty tonight……loved the bit about bidding on the dinner……..i bet keith will figure out a way to get his bid in.

    however, the whole idea of the dinner is beyond ridiculous. who came up with this idea anyway? betcha palin doesn’t know about it. meeeeggg….

  30. Susan in PA says:

    I don’t think Keith is going to get anywhere with bidding on the dinner with Sarah – I just read the “qualifications” required for the winning bidder and how and when the dinner will take place:

    “A background check for all attendees is mandatory. Failure to pass the background check will result in the winner forfeiting the experience and a refund given. The dinner experience with Sarah Palin will take place at a site to be determined and at a mutually agreed upon time and date to be determined by Ms. Palin and the winning bidder. Ms Palin may bring up to three guests of her own. The dinner will be paid for by the seller. There are no age restrictions but anyone under 16-years-old must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Winner may take personal photos and allowed to bring one item of reasonable size i.e. no larger than what can be carried by hand (t-shirts, books, magazines, etc.) The decision to sign the item will ultimately be up to Ms. Palin. Respect for Ms. Palin and her guest(s) is expected at all times. Inappropriate behavior will result in the conclusion of the experience with no refund.

    Dinner shall last no more than four hours, but could be less, in the sole discretion of Sarah Palin.* Governor Palin reserves the right to refuse dinner with a winning bidder if, in her sole discretion, the winning bidder is not a suitable bidder based on her subjective standards of suitability, professionalism, background and other factors. In the event the high bidder is rejected for this reason, the high bidder’s bid will be refunded, if paid, and the next highest bidder shall be notified, and thereafter, until a suitable match is determined.”

    So Governor Palin (hey, I thought she quit!) reserves the right to refuse dinner based on “her subjective standards of suitability” with the winning bidder. Her standards, huh? It boggles the mind.

  31. MonaLisa IS MY NAME! says:

    How’s it feel to be getting more nationally-televised face-time than She-Who-Needs-No-Title-But-Keeps-Using-One-Anyway does? (And yours is ALL positive!) Thank you for being such a joy to listen to!

  32. boodog says:

    Good job Shannyn! I was watching when my son came in. I told him, THAT is the Shannyn I told you about. He decided to join me to watch. He never watches the news….

  33. BooBooBear says:

    Shannon–you are a natural and I sure can see you on national television SOON! You did a great job!

  34. sauerkraut says:

    Is it just me or does Shannyn Moore have the eye-twinkle of a leprichaun… and the twitch in her lips indicates that she’s about to let loose with a really wise-arse comment… well, there ya go: guano crazy. Kinda like saying that Sarah Palin is bat guano crazy. …

  35. not that sarah says:

    I had no idea SP had come out against Medicare for seniors. Geeze.

    Where’s the outrage??

    Shannyn was great tonight:-) So funny!

  36. sauerkraut says:

    I discovered the “pre-approved” feature when I tried to bid last night… guess Sarah Palin is trying to be a credit card company. Maybe she’s hoping for bailout money from the Obama administration. She’ll say “no thanks” right after she accepts the money and uses it on something else.

    Like…

    A new jacket for the irondog.

    A new hockey arena for Track when he returns from Iraq.

    A new kennel for the pitbull.

    A new bridge to nowhere.

    Minority ownership in an energy-focused mutual fund from Hong Kong.

    … keep it on going. …

    Shannyn was brilliant! Simply brilliant, I tell ya!!!

  39. the problem child says:

    Yeah, Irish, looking forward to the online version. Already LMAO with the comments here!

  40. Irishgirl says:

    I can’t wait to see this one!!

  41. Sean says:

    Great Job Shannyn! The commentary asking what Sarah has against children in Asia was laugh-out-loud funny….and Keith DID!!! So did I! Great appearance!!!

  42. mae lewis says:

    I liked the parting shot. It was Sarah’s choice to quit her job saying that she didn’t need a title to work for Alaska. It is interesting that she can’t let go of her title and signed her latest Face Book statement with her former title. She is not Governor Sarah Palin any more.

    Any one else would call for a press conference, read their statement and take questions. Sarah “issues statements” that are much too well written to have been written by Sarah. Someone is using her to “progress” their own agenda. Wonder if they are paying her rent for the Face Book page– or is it just dinner that is up for sale?

  43. seattlefan says:

    Shannyn…you were smart, witty and HILARIOUS! Guano crazy…lmao! Great commentary!

    I sure hope Keith’s bid makes it through the “pre-approval” panel! That would absolutely be priceless. 🙂

  44. Lois from AZ says:

    Good job Shannyn. Great sense of humor.

  45. Seagull Junker Palin says:

    Shannyn is GREAT!

  46. zyggy says:

  48. Empish says:

    Short but sweet interview

  49. Empish says:

    repubs who want reelected are running away from Guano Crazy as fast as they can

  50. justafarmer says:

    Shannyn wonders what SP has against children (youth) in Asia

  51. zyggy says:

    Shannyn said Palin didn’t write the article that’s on Palin’s facebook.

  52. MonaLisa IS MY NAME! says:

    SARAH NEEDS TO PRE-APPROVE HER BIDDERS!! BWAH-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!

  53. zyggy says:

    Keith told Shannyn what would happen if he won the bid? Shannyn replies, you can invite David Letterman, Tina Fey, herself and Levi Johnston.

  54. justafarmer says:

    KO put in a bid and sees he needs to be pre-approved!

  55. BooBooBear says:

    OOOOOOh…..Keith Olbermann is going to bid on the auction dinner with Mrs. Palin!

  56. Empish says:

    aww must be preapproved by seller

  57. Empish says:

    Keith is bidding for the dinner

  58. justafarmer says:

    shannyn now!

    SP would not show up or would stomp out halfway through dinner

  59. MonaLisa IS MY NAME! says:

    Diet Dr. Pepper, Keith! (She can’t even pronounce Pinot Grigio!)

  62. MonaLisa IS MY NAME! says:

    Oily up next, and Sarah’s up for auction.

  63. MonaLisa IS MY NAME! says:

    Beck tweets foe dirt in appointees obstructed by Repugs, so SHOULD Keith call for dirt on Beck & his enablers….?

    No.

    Beck’s awful truth: He’s GLEN BECK!!

  64. justafarmer says:

    waiting…waiting..waiting…

  65. Seagull Junker Palin says:

    LONESOME RHODES!!

  66. MonaLisa IS MY NAME! says:

    Americans eat too much fried…

  67. MonaLisa IS MY NAME! says:

    I’m in! Oily Taint has a SECOND ‘real’ Kenyan birth certificate to replace the FIRST ‘real’ Kenyan birth certificate…

    Three strikes is all ya’ get, Oily!

  68. Empish says:

    hmm, Keith will reveal the awfulness of Beck tonight. Wonder what they dug on the skumbucket?

  69. Empish says:

    I’m watching Keith right now! Now I will pay closer attention!

  70. InJuneau says:

    GO, Shannyn! I’ll try to remember to turn it on to watch.
