We liberals may as well admit defeat on the Palin front.

Bushies Come to Palin's Aid

By Michael Isikoff

The McCain team has hastily assembled a team of former Bush White
House aides to tutor the vice-presidential candidate, Alaska Gov.
Sarah Palin, on foreign-policy issues, to write her speeches and
to begin preparing her for her all-important Oct. 2 debate
against Sen. Joe Biden.


Steve Biegun, who once served as the No. 3 National Security
Council official under Condoleezza Rice at the White House, has
been hired as chief foreign-policy adviser to the Alaska
governor, campaign officials told NEWSWEEK.

Yeah - that'll work ;-)

So...McCain announced he won't be appearing on that hard-core news show that
is Larry King Live - he of the major league softball pitchers club - because
he's afraid he'll end up looking like *this* idiot:

Don't worry. Right now the national media is ga ga over her but has
next to zero knowledge of just how corrupt Alaska politicians, male
and female, are. She will not stand up to scrutiny. Palin is a typical
right wing grafter, minus a pecker.

Hooray, she cut Wasilla property taxes 40%

Boooooo. She "hires" (read paid off) a Senator Stevens' henchman, then
the Senator conveniently earmarks a total of something like $27
million for Wasilla, including a sports center for the ex-point guard
and a $15 million rail link between Wasilla and the Senator's ski
resort hometown of Girdwood. Then when the Senator gets in trouble for
extorting $250,000 in remodeling from an oil industry firm, with the
FBI closing in Palin beauregard's the old grafter by suddenly
condemning his earmarks for the notorious "bridge to Nowhere." Her
"reform" record is made up of this kind of crap and doublecrosses.
Even the Republicans will start to figure it out in a week or two.
They been had.

A typical right wing graft scheme. Your average Republican has no idea
of the corruption that has rotted the heart out of their party, or
insists that the Dems do the same. Amazing.

HOLY ****! Improper record obtaining! The US will be incensed! It
will be horrified! It will be...well, OK, so no one will really
care...but, well...um...I feel your pain...and it'll take a village to
heal that pain...and...and...and...oh, who are we kidding - the guy
apparently tasered her nephew (to quote someone and I doubt it was her
side, "in a training capacity..."), cheated on her sister, and kicked
someone's dog. Let's examine this as carefully as the voters might: one
the one hand, he tasered a 10 year old, yada-yada-yada, he got fired,
and on the other, she allegedly read some allegedly improperly obtained
records and had ass run sideways. Hmmm...records-reading over Tasered
kids...boy, a tough call, but I've got to bet on Tasing kids being the
loser. If you're a Dem, this isn't the horse to put the spurs into, but
hey, knock yourself out...no pun intended...well, not exactly, anyway.
The Dems are flailing badly with this and they might oughta
stop...yesterday.

/daytripper (being governor of Alaska = too much free time? ;-)

I'd suggest not giving each other blow jobs quite yet, but hey, don't
ask, don't tell, gay rights, and all...plus at the end of the day, I
don't begrudge you girls your fun...well, that, and I figure you'll be
more amusing this way...or at least I'll be more amused...

straight out of Pulp Fiction, but good political advice.
Still, the feedback our canvassers are getting(in, what is, remember a
majority Republican district) is that Palin
came off as shrill, smart-alecky and smarmy. I'm shocked at how these people
here have turned on the GOP, so, while I'm not about to declare "mission
accomplished" yet, I think we may be at a national pendulum swing moment.
Tom
p.s. And Frank Church illustrated exactly WHY voters are feeling as they do.
His rant, belittling education and educated people illustrates exactly how
empty headed many in the GOP have come. They celebrate ignorance,
push tough talk and jingoistic BS over really making the world and nation
safer, and come up real small in terms of actually moving the nation in a
unified, positive direction.
It is only fitting and right that such an attitude get buried.
The sooner, the better.

Um, if not a single person who has ever served "in the Bush
Administration" is competent, why do leftwingers get all hot and wet
when one writes a book critical of it, which they then proceed to hold
up as gospel, ala Scott McClellan...?

Why would Murrica's only "liberal"® hold up as gospel a deranged apostate's
ravings?:

"I think it's 84 days from now that the people of America are going to
choose their next president. And it's a big choice, because we know
these are tough times at home economically, and dangerous times in the
world. And in my opinion, the choice could not be more clear; between
one candidate, John McCain, who has experience and has been tested in
war and tried in peace, and another candidate that has not. Between one
candidate, John McCain, who has always put his country first, worked
across party lines to get things done, and one candidate that has not.
Between one candidate that's a talker and one candidate who's the leader
America needs as our next president." (Democratic Senator and John
Kerry's choice for veep, Joe Lieberman of Connecticut)

I believe you are mistaken, Kerry's running mate was Edwards.
Lieberman was the running mate for Al Gore.

I should be more careful about setting off blocks of quoted text. The

I'd have responded sooner but I didn't look closely and assumed you were
addressing the above alluded to political and culinary genius.
