no wonder it's all palin all the time in here. i finally get a chance to look into politics and find big mac and the cheerleader leading bammy and joltin' joe across the board in the polls post convention. i expected him to maybe pull even. maybe. add to that nbc canning the glimmer twins for the fall. y'all feel it yet? do ya? c'mon, say it with me, "how could we possibly have effed this up?" yeah. have i thanked you lately for sending up bammy and joltin' joe? no? well, thanks. deeply and from the bottom of my heart.

papa, what do you think of her? Are you really okay with the possibility of Palin becoming president should something happen to McCain?

Once the message gets out there Papa, the Cadaver and the Circus Pony are GOIN' DOWWWWWN!!!

Papa - since you came up with such an endearing nickname for Obama's former pastor, would you be so kind as to do the same for Palin's current pastor?

How about "the Fundamentalist freak"?

Or "Huckabee with a vagina"?

Vaginabee?

And here I actually thought I'd missed you!

But, yeah they had a good convention and the media is eating up the MOOSEHUNTER MOM. But, as I say in good times and bad, the only poll that matters is the one we vote at in November.

Welcome back papa.

I think the bounce they got was great. Too bad the election is not today, because the more information that gets out about Palin, the more her ratings (and his will fall).

Obama is still ahead in the electoral college, and in most polls, a dead heat with McCain.

The debates should be interesting.

Palin is smart, but there is going to be an awful lot of information for her to be able to understand regurgitate in less than a month. She already blew the Freddie and Fannie question, and the drip, drip, drip of negative (true) information on her will take its toll.

And, look who might just help save the day for Obama ... the Clintons.

papa, i did not miss you during your absence.

Y, I agree. If you dissect the hockey mom, pit bull, lipstick joke, it is not a good thing! A pit bull attacks indiscriminately and without reason. Does not seem like a good qualifier for a vice president of a world power.

i think she'd be a great president.

brd, who are you?

[Borstalboy]

Posted: 9/9/08 at 12:26pm

You don't like Huckabee but you do like her?



Explanation please.

[jrb_actor]

Posted: 9/9/08 at 12:29pm

She would make a great President?

I have NOW seen it all.

Note the lowercase "p," which begs the question: "President of what?"

(i know it's papa we're talking about, but still!)

What's the real difference between Hockey Moms and Pit Bulls? Only about half the pit bulls are bitches.

what's better than a milf? a pilf! i'd let her command my chief.

[Calvin]

Posted: 9/9/08 at 1:11pm

Who was the original pilf? Franklin Pierce?

So basically if she had acid thrown in her face and gained 70 lbs. she would no longer be a worthwhile candidate for you, Papa?

[papalovesmambo]

Posted: 9/9/08 at 1:14pm

bb, why must we deal in theoreticals? she's hot right now. are you planning an acid attack on the gop vice presidential candidate? no? case closed.

[SNAFU]

Posted: 9/9/08 at 1:17pm

The one really bright point is if (and that is a BIG if) McCain does get elected we have the Clinton, Palin fight in 2012! I want front row tickets to watch Hillary wipe the floor with the Moose Murderer

[Calvin]

Posted: 9/9/08 at 1:17pm

Huckabee got fat again.

It could happen to her, too.

[Borstalboy]

Posted: 9/9/08 at 1:17pm

I wish it for the hate-filled harpy. I really do.

But ooh, there I go being "sexist" again!


Don't tell me you're a crusader against sexism now, Papa.

[papalovesmambo]

Posted: 9/9/08 at 2:55pm

no, bb. i completely understand how your ego is so threatened by an attractive woman that you need to lash out like this. i would suggest some medication to help you get through the next 4 years.

[Borstalboy]

Posted: 9/9/08 at 3:03pm

You still haven't told us why you like her as the person who has the nuclear code...other than "she's hot".

I thought you hated religious zealots.
