Position Flexible

Sarah Palin can’t stop lying. This just in:

“The governor has not rejected any funds — that I think was perhaps the interpretation and I know certainly in some of the coverage of the press event last week,” Karen Rehfeld, the governor’s budget director, told the House Finance Committee on Tuesday.

Uh-huh.

“I’m gonna send an appropriations bill to the legislature today to accept something about half of the federal government’s economic stimulus package funds to be used for capital projects here in Alaska.”

    umm…is she reading? from paper? word for word? for 8 minutes? and still spewing crazy shit?

    Memo to Sarah Palin: The Law states that acceptance of stimulus funds is all or nothing. Clyburn wrote that into the law after his wingnut Governor started making noise in his state.Me thinks the Palinator needs a treatment for hysteria ala 1850.

    Here’s the thing…and back in those truly halcyon Palin days had you ever popped over to my musty blog you would SO get this…Despite the white hot passion with which I despise Palin, I begrudge NO ONE a position flexible in these economic circumstances.I understand the politic desire, especially from an Alaskan Republican grandstanding dimwit photo-op joke, that they can tough it out and are just, like, Joe Plumber opposed to all this Democrat spending!It’s very similar too the pure sympathy I feel for the Quebec separatists, with the caveat that Quebec culture is mostly a good thing.I also understand the decision to get in the bread and soup line cuz the folks are hungry and it’s fucking cold out there.There will be plenty of “I ran from sniper fire” and “Timelines for troops out of Iraq” gotcha moments.Kicking a cheap, plastic wannabe like Sarah Palin over waffling into max dollars for her state…of all the horrid shit I would willingly fling…THAT ought to be beneath us.N’est pas?TABERNACLE!!

    Good call, Gypsy. She’s so dumb, there’s no way she could make a speech without notes! What an empty suit. She’s using those notes like a crutch.

    Sarah Palin is hypocrisy incarnate.Adolf Hitler wrote those notes she’s reading.

    cousinavi, i have kept my mouth shut for a while about a recent posting you had on here, but i can’t any longer.it was something like {people who comment on blogs are narcissistic losers stroking their egos, blah blah blah blah blah}i just find it ironic that you had the balls to post something like that (esp. in a such a long paragraphed self indulgent nature) when you yourself take time out of your life and “your blog” to make witty comments here. the hypocrisy of that irritates me.i mention this because of your above post stating that we are “above” talking about palin’s crazy. yet….in the same sentence where you are stating your “palin is below me” you take shots at her! not to mention the ones sprinkled throughout the comment and on your “musty blog” (so you say).so, avi and bob, when the right hold her up as their standard in a couple of years are you going to say anything about her? yes, it’s an easy target but isn’t beck, o’reilly, limbaugh….

    For Palin lying is like oxygen – they’re both involuntary and she can’t live without either of them.

    Oh cousinavi, the moment she walked out onto that stage and read from that teleprompter, she set herself up for ridicule. When she continued to demonstrate her complete inability to address issues that even she should have been intimately familiar with, she set her self up for ridicule. And when she continued to present herself to her party and her country as a viable alternative to Barack Obama’s presidency, refusing to see how pathetically unprepared she was for even state/local office, let alone the national scene, she was pretty much inviting ridicule forever and ever until the sun burns out.She’s their shining star, an up and comer in the party, it’s future. For us, that means she a target for whatever wit and snark we have loaded that day and we’re not going to hold back if she’s going to take the podium and hold forth with that uninformed, pitifully underpowered intellect of hers.We don’t come here to practice restraint, cousinavi. Keep that in mind when we eventually start to bore into you.

    Oh please, oh PLEASE let Caribou Barbie be the 2012 GOP nominee for president.

  • Alex

    Holy shit everyone she’s reading from previously written words! WORDS I SAY! Manchurian Candidate! BLAH!

  • MZ

    She may not have been reading off of one here:”Sometimes it gets me in a lot of trouble when I speak candidly, and I speak from the heart and I do such a thing. But I am going to … And there was that media slant this go round, and unless things change, the GOP had really better can stand together ’cause we got that on the battlefield also.”Yeah, they really better can do that.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/03/26/palin-sounds-off-on-media_n_179406.html

    I never said “Palin is below us.”Don’t misinterpret what I said, stick YOUR words in quotes and then attack me over your own fucked up inability to read.I said, now paraphrasing, that jumping on Palin for taking the public position “We are against the Obama spending spree” and then waffling over to “Gimme the money, honey” amounts to castigating salmon for swimming upstream.The GOP will use Palin in 2012, but you can get over it now. She will not be on the ticket. Will offer odds and take heavy action on this…in fact, I fucking DARE YOU to put your money where your mouth is.@ gypsy:Don’t bring up some past crap that you’ve been stewing over without a specific reference. I may or may not be willing to defend whatever the fuck it was I said, but I’m not about to take a whipping over something you can’t quote which pissed you off some uncertain time ago.I MIGHT (as unlikely as such a thing might be, on its face) be willing to APOLOGIZE…were you able to present something more than “you ticked me off that one time in band camp…”

  • gypsy

    i’m sorry avi…”ought to be beneath us”…is that better?!>>>Palin for taking the public position “We are against the Obama spending spree” and then waffling over to “Gimme the money, honey” amounts to castigating salmon for swimming upstreamuhhhh…no it doesn’t. that doesn’t “amount” to the same thing. if a salmon said it wasn’t going to swim upstream only to later swim upstream then it would “amount” to the same thing. but nice try. your cute.i do love a dare! however, i never bet on crazy. but you are such a big man to bet on something four years from now! i will say that if the republican party keeps their current direction and doesn’t have that mythical savior of the party (that lee suggests) in their backpocket she will be on the top of the ticket!as for the past shit i haven’t been “stewing” over it. i’ve just been reading your mini essays giggling to myself over your hypocritical thought process. that’s all. (i tried to find it until i realized i don’t give a fuck)

    It really does not matter what you Obamabots think of Sarah she is very popular with the people that count. The Liberals are scared to death of sarah or you would not spend all your time blogging about her. Sure she used notes during her speech but Hopeychange used a 52″ wide screen TV to give a 10 minute speech and he can’t go anywhere without his teleprompter.Sarah 2012 so get used to it.

  • Alex

    Maxwell, didn’t the people that count already show who they like a few months ago?

  • maxwell

    Only the republican party matters when it comes to Sarah you liberals would not vote for her so who cares what you think. 58 + million people liked Sarah and that is nothing to sneeze at although not quiet enought to win. BHO and his followers do not mean anything to me…sorry!

    My thought processes may be called many things. Hypocritical ain’t one of them.

  • gypsy

    avi, do i think your thought process can be hypocritical sometimes? yes. do i think your thought process is always hypocritical? no. i actually enjoy most of your comments and hope they continue. just wanted to say that.

  • SillyRatfacedGit

    Maxwell -Who cares what you think? I certainly don’t.Run another incompetent, egocentric, douchebag like Bush only one with a vagina this time and add a huge dose of Christofascism.I dare you. I look forward to it.Good luck with that.
