The Pitbull Bitches Out

leave a comment »

Seems Palin is all bark and no bite, and even then not so much. The Obama and McCain camps have agreed to debates that will include a much more free-wheeling style of questions and answer and sparring than most other Presidential debates. 

Yeah, ‘cept Palin totally bitched out on the same process for the VP debates. The pitbull and her handlers were scared to let her go bare knuckled against Joe Biden and insisted on a more formal, structured debate that will allow much less opportunity for free-wheeling direct exchanges between the running mates.

McCain’s team was up front about the fact that they are total pussies. They were “concerned” that a loose format could leave the Prom Queen at a disadvantage against Joe biden. Gee, do you think? Why, she could just go on about how she lives next door to Russia and shit— I’m sure that’d work.

First she’s afraid of the press, then she’s scared to cooperate in the Troopergate investigation, now she’s scared of Joe Biden. A pitbull in lipstick? More like a  chihuahua in drag… either way, she comes up bitch.

Alaskans Getting Pissed With The Prom Queen

leave a comment »

From the Anchorage Daily News:

Gov. Sarah Palin has surrendered important gubernatorial duties to the Republican presidential campaign. McCain staff are handling public and press questions about actions she has taken as governor. The governor who said, “Hold me accountable,” is hiding behind the hired guns of the McCain campaign to avoid accountability.

Is it too much to ask that Alaska’s governor speak for herself, directly to Alaskans, about her actions as Alaska’s governor?

Pitbull better think about her day job so she has something to go back to after she loses!

Rachel Maddow, “Dyke”

with 36 comments

I really like Rachel Maddow, and the fact that she’s a lesbian is neither here nor there, as well as common knowledge. But did you know she was a “dyke”, as well? It’s true.

The photo below is of a 21 year old Maddow being interviewed by Out magazine after being the first “out” lesbian to win a frickin’ Rhodes Scholarship! (member when that stuff used to matter?) 

In the interview Maddow says, among other things, “…blah blah blah, so much of my political involvement is tied up in being a dyke.” Well. It’s so retro to remember back when people had to be defensive about their sexual orientation….takes me back.

She’s always seemed really smart and I enjoy her new show (even though it’s a little boring), so I guess I shoulda known she was all educated up and whatnot— but Damn! Stanford Grad, Masters from Oxford in Political Science, Rhodes fucking Scholar, that’s Rachel Maddow. (Just by comparison and never wanting to miss a chance to piss on Sarah Palin, the prom queen attended five colleges is six years before finally obtaining her B.A. in journalism from the Idaho State…. And oh yeah, she wants to run the country.)

Rachel Maddow— hot educated lesbian, once geeky dyke.

God Has Voted— For Obama!

with 4 comments

From the New Yorker:

Before Barack Obama accepted the Democratic nomination for President, in a Denver football stadium—”Focus on the Family”, one of the most powerful organizations on the religious right, posed a question to Internet viewers. “Would it be wrong to pray for rain?”

Apparently the answer was no, because they proceeded to do just that… Prayed for there to be rain— “abundant rain”, “torrential rain”, “rain of Biblical proportions”

“Pray for unexpected, unanticipated, unforecasted rain that starts two minutes before the speech is set to begin.” Then,  “There will probably be people who will pray for seventy-two degrees and clear skies, but this isn’t a contest.”

Obama gave his speech under clear skies with the thermometer at seventy-two degrees.

Ouch.

Adding insult to injury, and just to be sure His intentions were known: The Almighty arranged for a hurricane severe enough to disrupt the Republican National Convention, now didn’t he?

Yikes. God Hates Republicans.

Update On: Rush Limbaugh, Little Bitch

leave a comment »

Racist junkie is all upset about being quoted accurately by Barack Obama in a new Spanish language ad.

Mostly, the fat fucking draft-dodger is whining that he’s being taken out of context.

OK, so let’s take a look:

Supposedly out-of-context quote:

“…stupid and unskilled Mexicans.”

Context:

“If you are unskilled and uneducated, your job is going south. Skilled workers, educated people are going to do fine ’cause those are the kinds of jobs Nafta is going to create. If we are going to start rewarding no skills and stupid people, I’m serious, let the unskilled jobs that take absolutely no knowledge whatsoever to do — let stupid and unskilled Mexicans do that work.

Second supposedly out-of-context quote:

“You shut your mouth or you get out!”

Context:

“And another thing: You don’t have the right to protest. You’re allowed no demonstrations, no foreign flag waving, no political organizing, no bad-mouthing our president or his policies. You’re a foreigner: shut your mouth or get out! And if you come here illegally, you’re going to jail.”

Oh. Now I see.
