Tina Fey returned to Saturday Night Live last night to portray Sarah Palin, a role it seems she was born to play. The highlight: When asked about her foreign policy experience, Fey/Palin said, in a near-Fargo accent, "I can see Russia from my house." I laughed, but didn't someone once say "What now makes you laugh will eventually make you cry"? If they didn't, then I'm saying it now.On March 14, 2008, on this very blog, I wrote "Keep in mind that I want the eventual Dem nominee to be elected president, but there's no way a McCain presidency would be as bad as what we have now. Really, there's no fucking way it could be as bad."
I was wrong.
It could easily be as bad, in part because John McCain is a fucking liar.
He "approved" an ad accusing Obama of calling Sarah Palin a pig, when he knows that's not what Obama meant. McCain has also used the "lipstick on a pig" expression, but why let the truth get in your way of fooling the simple-minded?
That's small potatoes compared to the McCain-approved ad that accuses Obama of wanting to teach sex education to kindergartners. BULLSHIT! The bill teaches children, in very basic terms, how to avoid child predators. John McCain, in his near crazed quest for power, is damn near calling Barack Obama a child molester, AND THE SO-CALLED LIBERAL MEDIA LETS MCCAIN GET AWAY WITH IT!!!
So we know John McCain is an unconscionable lying sack of shit. We also know that Sarah Palin knows NOTHING about basic policy. Consider this from her interview with Charlie Gibson:
GIBSON: Do you agree with the Bush doctrine?
PALIN: In what respect, Charlie?
GIBSON: The Bush -- well, what do you -- what do you interpret it to be?
PALIN: His world view.
GIBSON: No, the Bush doctrine, enunciated September 2002, before the Iraq war.Are you fucking kidding me? Really? The person who will be an old heartbeat away from Leader of the Free World doesn't know what the Bush doctrine is? The Bush doctrine involves the idea of a preemptive strike against someone we THINK is going to attack us. It was the primary "justification" for the war in Iraq, but this empty skirt doesn't know that!
I had heard of the Bush doctrine before this interview. Me. A guy not running on a major party ticket. How? Am I some sort of expert? No, I occasionally watch a television show that doesn't involve voting someone off. I even read a few books in which the Bush doctrine is ripped a new asshole. There are also several books in which the Bush doctrine is praised; but apparently Sarah Palin couldn't be bothered to spend a few hours not hunting or not being pregnant in order to read one of them.
How is this possible? How can the vice presidential candidate of the Republican party be COMPLETELY IGNORANT of the Bush doctrine? Oh, that's right: McCain did a shit-poor job of choosing said candidate.
Well, you can put lipstick on a vapid, snide, narrow-minded, condescending pig, but it's still a pig who doesn't know a fucking thing about foreign policy.
And yeah, I mean that just as it sounds.

I put lipstick on everyday! So Obama must have called me a pig too! And now so did you!
That's it, I'm running for governor of Alaska. That's that place up near Russia, right?
aaaaaaaaaamen
Yup.
STABBY.
EVEN KARL ROVE says McCain went 'too far' in ads
"...sort of attributing to Obama things that are, you know, beyond the '100 percent truth' test."
Karl fucking Rove.
I don't know about the media letting him get away with it.
The ladies on The View called him on it.
Obama on Letterman:
"Assuming I meant it that way, wouldn't Palin be the lipstick?"
I love that man.
I wonder if Flounder will change his mind when he finds out that McCain has actually admitted that Obama didn't call her a pig...
Shit... I thought that the "Bush Doctrine" was a porn I saw a few years ago. I think I prefer the flick over the politics.
Of course McCain said that! He was taking the high road. That is what the better man always does!
And why is Obama so consumed with Palin anyway? Shouldn't he be focusing on McCain???
Face the facts liberals. McCain is going to win, and win handily.
Obama called the entire Republican Party and platform a "pig" and no one was outraged by that. The only outcry came when someone twisted the comment so it became about Palin. That's very telling.
Palin is the GOP's only sign of life. And she's blatant proof that the party cares only about votes, not intelligence or holding any high ground.
scarlet,
Obama was obviously talking about every white woman in America.
lil sass,
I'll be passing the collection plate soon.
lostinutah,
uh huh.
tits,
stab someone up real good.
tracy,
if Rove said that about the McCain campaign, the check must have bounced.
ubie,
how sad is it that the View ladies are the hardest hitting journalists we have left?
flounder,
in order for an analogy to work, there has to be a set up for it. If someone is talking about desktop publishing and says "It's like shooting fish in a barrel" a reasonable person (I realize this excludes you) will assume he's talking about desktop publishing being easy. A crazy observer can claim "He's talking about dating teenage girls" but that doesn't mean it's true.
Since Obama hadn't mentioned neither Palin nor the position of vice president beforehand, only a clueless person would assume he was calling her a pig.
As for the muslim comment, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're joking. The last time I heard someone seriously suggest that Obama is a muslim, it came from the mouth of a rural woman who came down from the mountains to do some "big city shoppin'" in Louisville. I don't believe that you, as a college educated adult, share your world view with an illiterate, inbred hillbilly. If I am wrong, and you are serious, and you do share your world view with an illiterate, inbred hillbilly, please let us know so we can feel sorry for you.
ian,
there's no reason to bring logic to this discussion.
tits,
I'm beginning to think that's Ashton Kutcher acting rather than Robert Deniro acting.
scarlet,
no, we won't change his mind. Of course, I cheated by already reading his reply...
mega,
that's a doctrine we can all support!
flounder,
if McCain EVER takes the high road it's because he's lost, driving around going twenty-five mph with his left turn signal on.
But seriously, none of my recent posts have been critical of people like you. You're voting for McCain because you're a conservative, not because you think he'll help you change your oil over a six pack of Bud. It's not like you were undecided and suddenly "What? The gubner of Alaska? She's hot. Go McCain!"
Hi All..I am usually a ghost reader here and this is my first time posting a comment. I owe it all to Flounder..he seems to have his eyes sewn shut & his ears cut off.
If you want to know how McCain does business beyond distracting people with mindless miss-quotes about lipsticks & pigs then please copy & past this in your address bar.

Learn about "THE KEATING FIVE" story.. all of you!!!This will get you some FACTS & possibly open your eyes to important issues other than pig comments. The Keating Five story foreshadows everything McCain has become. Someone said the best & truest messages write themselves.
