The Liberal answer to this GOP Ad
I don't know, but lots of questions about "Heh. "I've got an appointment in 10 minutes!" and making light of abortions.
Maybe the last part should be a celebration of saving the Supreme Court from a possible Palinesque choice. At least we are safe for the time being.
I'm thankful that idiot didn't make it into the White House. The Wasilla Hillbillies would have been blasting squirrels in the park across the street and stealing silverware from state dinners.
Earlbo - I didn't like the abortion part, either, it rather ruined the piece. It was funny except for that!
Yup, today all my thanks are to whatever part of the universe shifted enough for us to be able to elect an incredibly intelligent president and defeat the GOP.... and then extra appreciation for said GOP utterly self-destructing.
BEST THANKSGIVING EVAR.
Ha ha!!!! JollyRoger, can you imagine what the lawn would look like, full of snowmobiles and jacked-up cars? Not to mention plaid flannel making a huge comeback.
I honestly think if those disasters got elected, a good 3/4 of our population would move to other countries w/in a year.
OMFG!!!!
"In a time when so many politicians have let us down, you've given us hope."
Hope of what? A corrupt shoddily run future devoid of all animal life but running deep with slicks of oil through once lush preserved lands?
Yeah, thanks for that.
That is fucking PRICELESS!
So as we gather around our dinner tables to give thanks, let us remember what richness lies in the soil and the soul of this nation.
Let us give thanks for California artichokes and Florida oranges, for Chesapeake crabs, Chicago Pizza, New England Clam Chowder, New Orleans jazz, New York cheesecake and Boston lettuce.
Let us give thanks for ball parks, concert halls, Texas Hold'Em playoffs, Alaska wolves and polar bears, and 10 dollar bottles of wine.
I personally am very grateful to Al Gore and whoever else invented the Internet and how my family lets me stay online most of the time.
Finally, for the first time, in a very long time, I am very grateful to be an American and I am in love with every single person who stood in line at the polls this year. Maybe we are all going to the poor house ... but we are in good company. I have no idea what the future holds but I am grateful to be still alive at this moment in history. I have a lot less money these days, but, maybe for the first time ever I am feeling pretty rich.
The abortion bit made me a little queasy at first, too. Then I figured that its point is to horrify any religious right type who sees it, which can't be a completely bad thing.
Happy Thanksgiving Helen!
Are these folks on drugs!?! Any drug that makes you think Sarah Palin is fabulous has got to be gobbling up your brain cells at an alarming rate!
Caribou Barbie...nice. LOL
Happy Thanksgiving. Shoot, left that out, was so tickled by Caribou Barbie. ;)
Kim, I hear ya. WTF? What a bizarre thing to spend $$ on! I can't stop laughing at K.'s comparison of the cowboy to Don Cheadle's character in Boogie Nights!!
And the irony is so perfect, really, like in the video Earlbo linked, it's the liberals who should be thanking Palin, for helping the GOP lose the election and cause them a major meltdown.
Honestly? I personally want to thank Palin for all the comic relief.
Earlbo: Well said!! I totally felt thankful yesterday, for the first time in years, and over and above what I'm most thankful for is a combo of Obama being voted in and the shrub fading away to obscurity.
I second your sense of gratitude to our fellow Americans who got their asses out to the polls in record numbers.
Oh and definitely the foodstuffs you mentioned, which made me drool.
I had SUCH a great T-giving dinner last night. Best ever, maybe.
Hope you did, too.
K., yeah I sort of got that... I know what they are doing is a play on how the wingnuts see liberals and liberals' attitude toward abortion (completely unrealistic). I could appreciate it for that, however, being flip about abortion in parody in that setting still just turned me off.
FranIAm, Thank you! And Happy Thanksgiving to you as well :)
I'm going to blogroll you if that's OK!
Hairball, I've started wondering if anyone who supports Palin already is nearly devoid of brain cells. I can't figure out any other explanation.
Bedeboop, I soooo wish I could take credit for coining that name but I totally stole it. Same with Bible Spice.
I have not been clever enough to come up with a zinger name for her yet but since she refuses to get out of the national spotlight, I'm sure I will, eventually.
And happy Thanksgiving to you, too!
Thank you for the t-day wishes. If you do come up with a name for Caribou Barbie, I want to know! Now I'm trying to think of one, but I am not very clever in that area either. Sigh...
How about "Sarah Slaughter"?????
Works for me.
Like Murray Slaughter in MTM only Sarah's name REALLY means "slaughter"
Good one, Kim :)
Here's a few of the less popular ones:
Disastra From Alaska
Tina Feylin
Gosh-silla
Klondike Spice
Wolf Killer
Sarah Barracuda
Hurricane Sarah
Mooselini
and too true to be funny,
Dick Cheney In Lipstick
Them idiots! I too am thankful that idiot ran and enough saw through her and we have the hope of Obama to look forward to now!
Earlbo GREAT list!
I forgot Mooselini, that was my fav for awhile as well.
LOL @ Klondike Spice!
Saxby “Big Daddy” Chambliss’ Creepy Grope Ad
What media genius in the Chambliss campaign approved this spot? Because nothing says "I deserve your vote" quite like inappropriate contact with a prepubescent girl.
I thought, Oh, another overreaction to innocent grandfatherly touching until that last second boob grab! Awwwww, that IS creepy!
AAP: Indeed, at least the ones who want to vote for a vapid, braindead idiot are now in a bigger minority than in recent history!
That's change I can believe in, you betcha! *wink*
Earlbo, that IS creepy but not sure if it was a boob-grab... in any case, they truly should have reshot that.
Ugh, and ewwwwwwwwwww.
That woman is sooooo in love with herself...and presumes that the rest of America is to!!! NOT. She cannot fade away soon enough for me. Those who are her adoring fans, indeed lack a gene for specific brain cells, I fear! Oh, that would be intellect.
Good link. Thanks.
Palin is presented as a rightward version of feminism. I see it as part of a traditional conservative distain for all things thoughtful.
i am thankful sarah palin will be relegated to the dustbin of history
and i am thankful i found such a great place as your place to read, write and learn'
happy holiday
That's a great video! Here's one that my husband's cousin turned me on to at Thanksgiving last night. You may have already seen it but I hadn't and it cracked me up. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving, with lots of family, lots of laughter, lots of music and good food that we were all grateful for.
I'm grateful that we dodged a bullet big-time.
themom, I was totally one of those who wished she would go away, but have since realized she's entertaining as hell, so I've changed my mind (for now). I can't wait to see her next antic. How will she outdo the turkey slaughter? Part of me thinks she will!
Burr Deming, welcome & thanks for the link, I'll check it out.
DCap, how sweet! Thanks so much, that means a lot!
I think it's kinda win-win with Mooselini: If she sticks around, there will be more and more entertaining media train wrecks; if she goes away, we don't have to deal with her.
Hey Alicia!! I had seen that before BUT it looks like they added some new stuff, so that's awesome. Thanks! Very funny. I think the door is the funniest part.
I had a really terrific Thanksgiving too, and we all had so much fun talking about the election and yes, how we dodged a bullet. Yup, pretty festive alright. I'm glad you had a great time as well.
I love the use of the word "articulate." Like trying to tell your friend that Dick Gregory and Richard Simmons are shipping to Jamaica for weight a loss clinic that he's "statuesque." Too f-ing funny.
Pleasure to have found you!
I'm gonna' enjoy following your blog!
Found you over at Utah Savage's place!
Great post!
hi helen!
glad to hear your thanksgiving was a good one!
when princess sarah was first foisted upon the nation, i named her (on a campaign poster) vagina cheney. some at dkos took great offense at that at the time, but i think i was proven correct.
i predict her next huge kerfuffle will come when she or one of her helicopter hunter-types shoots santa and several of his reindeer when they appear over alaska's horizon. of course, they will admit no wrong, and will insist that it was really putin and not santa driving the sleigh, and those were terr'ist russian wolves and not reindeer. once again, princess sarah and her alaskan heroes will have kept america safe from vladimir and his rearing head!
Did you all hear Michele Obama humiliate her husband on Nat'l tv with Barbara Waawaa??? It was so f...king funny! This is gonna be a fun ride for the next fours years....that is if they don't lock Michelle in the closet like they did during the campaign....I can hardly wait!
I saw the 20/20 interview of the Obamas and I saw nothing of Michelle humiliating her husband.
As for anonymous commenters-why is it these insipid nitwits are afraid to make stupid comments under their own names?
Karen-
Remember that the wretched neo-freaks don't see reality like the rest of us do. They can watch two highly-educated, articulate people converse with a rightwing veteran journalist and come up with something like: "Did you all hear Michele Obama humiliate her husband on Nat'l tv with Barbara Waawaa?"
All the while, they see Caribou Barbie interviews with Charles "Charlie" Gibson and Katie Couric and come away with comments such as "she's a genius" or "she's so well versed on the issues", or "she will be a great VP".
Fortunately, we found on Nov 4th that there are still more sane people than neo-cons in this Country. So, instead of Walters interviewing McLame or the Bitch from Wasilla, we got a quality interview from the Obamas.
Anon- yes, the next 4 years WILL be fun- it will be fun watching you freaks be put in your place, and driven back into the woodwork where you belong- like the days before the Worst President in American History seized power 8 years ago.
Your day is over. Buh-bye.
Rastamick, no one does analogies like you do!! I saw Richard Simmons deplaning once at LAX, and he was making a big show out of it, but he WAS funny.... :)
Holy shit Nonnie, I LLLLOVE the name Vagina Cheney!! It's not surprising you'd come up with something so clever. Jeeeez, that is good.
LOL!!
I love the shooting down of Santa thing. Can we collaborate & do a Flash cartoon??? Maybe??? Don't know when I'd fit it in but you suddenly inspired me.... too funny.
Yep I could see Ms. Mooseburger jumping up from behind a bush & plugging Rudolph.
Anonymous: No, I didn't see any such thing.
KZD: Anonymous trolls are cowards, that's why! They like to just comment then run off, like silly little children.
Liquid, welcome!!! Thanks so much for coming by! And thanks for the compliment, how sweet :)
Independent, what must have happened for our delusional anonymous troll from Alabama to think that Michelle Obama humiliated our President Elect? Perhaps she spoke her mind, as the strong woman she is? From what I"ve been able to tell, Obama digs that. Which is what makes him pretty damn wonderful.
Can't wait to see the interview and thanks for the smack-down. Always a pleasure. LOL!
Anon: "that is if they don't lock Michelle in the closet like they did during the campaign"
Don't know what you mean by this. Michelle Obama campaigned vigorously for Barack when she wasn't in Chicago taking care of their kids, who mostly stayed at home instead of dropping pucks in Philly.
"All the while, they see Caribou Barbie interviews with Charles "Charlie" Gibson and Katie Couric and come away with comments such as "she's a genius" or "she's so well versed on the issues", or "she will be a great VP"."
There are two articles of faith among Palinistas re the Gibson/Couric interviews. Independent summarizes the first above. The other is that they asked Palin gotcha questions, edited the interviews to make her look bad, and did a hatchet job on her. Left answered, naturally, is the question of if she can't handle questions from a couple of reporters, then how is she going to handle "Putin" when he "rears his head."
These nutters are a sickly bunch.
Great point, K. I also saw news footage showing Michelle on the stump. In fact, didn't she do most of the campaigning in Nevada?
Ha ha, K., yup they can't answer that because it would begin the meltdown of the fantasy world they have built up around their new Dear Leader (I see they had no problem chucking the shrub out the back door -- where's this "loyalty" they are always claiming WE lack?).
Zoey & Me, yup. I concur. I gotta wonder how they get the way they are? It can't solely be lack of education.
Helen, you've put your finger on one of the more bizarre aspects of Weird Land: The supposed character shortcoming of the liberal-left-Marxists (it's all the same) are exactly the one they most display themselves.
Exhibit A: You can go to just about any Palinista web site or blog and find someone blatherin' away about the supposed cult of personality around Obama. This coming from people who can't decide whether Palin is the reincarnation of Esther or David.
Exhibit B: All the carryin' on about mean-spirited liberals paired with the genuflections to Rushbo as if he were Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John rolled into one. Is there a creepier, nastier guy among the commentariat?
Exhibit C: The wailin' and gnashin' of teeth over "baby murder" on the one hand, the hope -- make that prayer -- that Israel wallops the livin' Bejesus out of (or into) Iran in the war that Obama's election is somehow supposed to spur on.

K., Nice Exhibit presentation. I concur, the amount of complete cognitive dissonance when it comes to assessing their candidate is astounding. Excellent analysis.
K: galliardising?
LOL!!
That was a thing of beauty. I was thinking it was a type of duck but that would be Mallard.
When I first heard this (posted on another blog) I was sure it was a parody.
EEEEKKKK!
In Wingnuttia, Paloon is the perfect woman; Marginally Educated, Incurious, and Fertile.
Michele is threatening to them because not only is she a woman who's better educated, she's a Black Woman who's better educated.
She may as well be made of Kryptonite.
Kvatch, when I first watched it (thank you, Earlbo) I was waiting for a punchline.... sadly, one never came. Creepy as it gets.
Ah, yes, fairlane you are soooo right. It must absolutely kill the wingnuts that Michelle Obama is such a strong, independent woman, and uber-educated. And then on top of that, black. Yep, it's got to rankle with the party of misogynistic bigots alright.
helen,
i would love to collaborate with you, but, alas, i have no clue when it comes to flash. feel free to use any of the ideas though! lemme know if i can help.
Caribou Barbie......Now even I am cracking up!!
Caribou Barbie Turkey Moment
I like the hint in the Steve Sack's cartoon, that the GOP AND Sarah suffered from that awesome photo op.
God Bless America.
You find the best political dish, my sweet.
Again with the jaw droppage. Oy.
