The Mudflats

Tiptoeing Through the Muck of Alaskan Politics

Major Announcement! Sarah Palin is on Twitter!

Sarah Palin’s communications director Bill McAllister announced today that (drumroll please)………

Sarah Palin has a Twitter account.

No, I’m not kidding.  That’s the big breaking news that Eddie Burke promoted on KBYR.

Why does she have this Twitter account?  Because there are so many lies and distortions in the media, that she needs a way to counteract those things quickly.  So, now you can rush over to Twitter.com and sign up to get messages from akgovsarahpalin.

McAllister said that Palin is “concerned by media coverage” like the AP story yesterday that reported she “changed her mind” about the federal stimulus money.   Now, this may seem a little confusing because Palin originally said she didn’t want a third of the stimulus money, and now she’s taking almost all of it.  She was against it before she was for it.  Sounds like she changed her mind….but wait.

According to McAllister, the reason we have all been led to believe she flip flopped is because….”apparently nuance and subtlety are dead.”  (A moment of silence for nuance and subtlety please)

Then McAllister went on to say that she has consistently said from the beginning that she’s concerned about “exploding national debt.”  He forgot the part about how rejected stimulus money wasn’t going back to the national coffers, but rather to other states.

He also said that she was worried about “unsustainable state spending.”  He forgot the part about the fact that nobody could find all those ’strings’ she was supposedly worried about.

After all the whining about that AP article that stated Palin “changed her mind” instead of, perhaps, the more accurate “She used nuance and subtlety to alter the message from one point in time to another,” the big announcement came:

“Today we’ve launched a Twitter service!”

Oh boy!

“We have to be able to correct the record instantaneously,” he went on to explain.

The only thing that made me laugh harder than this ridiculous use of personnel, time and public airwaves to announce a Twitter account was when a woman from Wasilla called in and asked

“Is the governor still receiving per diem to live in her own home?”

She held her ground for a long time, and had Eddie Burke all a-twitter (pardon the pun).  He sputtered and talked in circles and ended up falling back on, “You’re like one of these other crazy women who filed the frivolous ethics complaints.  A bunch of crazy delusional women.  Delusional women. Crazy women!  A bunch of crazy women!  That’s what they are – a bunch of crazy women!”

Way to debate the issues.

And the final thing I heard as they came back from a commercial break, and before I had to run across the room and kill my radio was:

“Breaking news right here on the Eddie Burke Show – The governor is tweeting!”

Yes, it has come to this.  (head meets desk)

    I’d love to follow what Gov. Birdbrain tweets about.

    Cathy from ColoradoNo Gravatar says:

    Usage: ….. the word twat is often used:

    * As a derogatory insult, a pejorative – ‘you twat!’
    * A fool, synonymous with the word twit – ‘You are a real twat and a half’ (often used in the UK)[3]
    * To express annoyance – ‘I caught my twatting knackers in it!’
    * To hit something (or someone) hard or violently – ‘I twatted him one’
    * In its past participle form, to be drunk or otherwise intoxicated – ‘Let’s get twatted’
    * A word to call someone by – ‘Get your twat out’

    Therefore…the twitting twat can tweet???????

    Head up to Alaska
    Lookin’ for Wasilla
    And the house where Sarah lives

    Yeah Barbie go make a snowman
    Tell the First Dude I want a race
    Fire all of your guns at once
    Don’t shoot someone’s face

    She likes snowmachines though
    Is it any wonder
    Wearin’ “Arctic Cat”
    And who knows what else under

    Yeah Sarah take that Bridge to Nowhere
    And that jet you sold on Ebay
    Blast wolves from out of the sky
    And then blast into space

    Like a true selfish child
    You were born
    To be reviled
    When you speak, you lie
    Why Sarah Palin, Why?

    Born to be reviled
    Born to be reviled

    You seem to think you’re stunnin’
    You might impress that bike guy
    Enough for a hog ride
    It’s a thrill that you can’t buy

    Hey Sarah you might get your own show
    That they film in a warmer place
    Do you have any tan lines,
    Like the ones on your face?

    Like a true selfish child
    You were born
    To be reviled
    When you speak, you lie
    Why Sarah Palin, Why?

    What happens when Sarah finds out that other than those 40 C4Pers the other subscriptions are all news media that will use her tweets against her? When they do, watch how fast she closes her account.

    It just occurred to me….

    From Wikipedia: “Lucy Temerlin (1964–1987)[1] was a chimpanzee owned by the Institute for Primate Studies in Oklahoma, and raised by Maurice K. Temerlin, Ph.D., a psychotherapist and professor at the University of Oklahoma and his wife, Jane W. Temerlin.

    Temerlin and his wife raised Lucy as if she were a human child, teaching her to eat with silverware, dress herself, flip through magazines, and sit in a chair at the dinner table. She was taught American Sign Language by primatologist Roger Fouts as part of an ape language project and eventually learned 140 signs“.

    Interesting coincidence.

    O T (but it is Palin)

    I was browsing Daily Kos and the headline was Michele Bachman, but they use Palin as an analogy. According to them Bachman needs to be ‘Palinized’.
    Has this made it to the Urban dictionary yet..? Hmm…
    ——————————————-
    “The media did actually did a pretty decent job of figuring out both that Sarah Palin was an empty-headed clown and finding a way to let everyone know they knew that without saying it outright. It’s time for them to Palinize Michele Bachmann. She’s a complete dingbat, and is — like Sarah — a dangerously crazy as well. And so far, she hasn’t had a reason in the world to care about using correct information, or to be ashamed enough not to spew her poisonous nonsense every time she sees a camera.”

    “Exposing Sarah Palin for what she really is was a task bloggers were all too eager to take on. And while we clearly had an assist from the high profile nature of the office she was seeking that made it much easier than it will be with a relative nobody like Bachmann, the project is worth undertaking if it’s even a tenth as effective. Sarah Palin is a national joke. Michele Bachmann ought to be.”

    The comparisons between Bachmann and Palin are inevitable – statements like this one from Bachmann are an almost daily comedy event. In this one, she blames FDR for causing the Great Depression by enacting the “Hoot-Smalley” tariffs.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jc1kvcf4w-M

    Reality check: When Franklin Roosevelt took office, unemployment was already about 25%. And the tariff she referred to was actually the Smoot-Hawley bill, co-authored by Republicans Sen. Reed Smoot of Utah and Rep. Willis Hawley of Oregon, and signed into law by Republican President Herbert Hoover.

    The same day, she connected the last two swine flu outbreaks to two Democratic administrations (b/c we know the Dems caused them), Obama’s and Carter’s. Wrong again – the 70s outbreak occurred under Ford’s watch.

    They also share the same theocratic connections.

    COPACAVILLA
    (sung to the Barry Manilow song “Copacabana”)

    Her name was Sarah, She was a schoolgirl
    With lots of style gel in her hair and a dress cut down to there
    She used to play flute, no not the skin type
    And yes she was a sportscaster, a job that she could not master
    Although she was a pup, with Todd she got knocked-up
    They were young and they had each other
    Just a mere hiccup

    At the Copa, Copacavilla
    The hottest spot north of Wasilla
    At the Copa, Copacavilla
    Those rimless glasses made them look like asses
    At the Copa…they fell in love

    (Copa Copacavilla)

    His name was Toddie, she liked his body
    They got married one fine day, He insisted he’s not gay
    They said a prayer, then she was mayor
    But to add some attitude, she changed his name to the “First Dude”
    Sarah then hired some crooks, and then she banned some books
    There was trouble with city contracts
    So they cooked the books

    At the Copa, Copacavilla
    The hottest spot north of Wasilla
    At the Copa, Copacavilla
    Handouts and kickbacks and lots of “Joe Sixpacks”
    At the Copa…next it was Guv

    (Copa..Copacavilla)
    (Copa Copacavilla) (Copacavilla, ahh ahh ahh ahh)
    (Ahh ahh ahh ahh Copa Copacavilla)
    (Wasilla, rhymes with vanilla)
    (Dumbness and fashion… were always her passion)

    Her name is Sarah, she is the Guv’nor
    She even tried to be V.P., cuz she was so damn “Mavericky”
    That was a pipedream for our gal, Sarah
    The job was above her pay-grade. More substance in lemonade
    Her inlaw getting high. Now she just hates Levi
    She lost the race and she lost her mojo
    Now she’s lost her mind!

    At the Copa (CO), Copacavilla (Copacavilla)
    The hottest spot north of Wasilla (Here)
    At the Copa (CO), Copacavilla
    No education. Unwed procreation
    At the Copa…That’s our dear Guv

    (Copa) That’s our dear Guv
    Copacavilla
    Copacavilla

    Forgot to mention the BEST part about scanning the headline for AKM’s blog this time – I thought at first is said “Sarah Palin is a Quitter”. It was a short lived moment of joy, after re-reading the title I realized that it was wishful thinking and my brain jumped right in to oblige one of my biggest dreams…

    But that brings me to the realization that I just want her to blow up soon – I know it will take awhile and I’m always reminding everyone else of that – but I’m being selfish tonight and am whining a bit about WANTING MY LIFE BACK! Don’t get me wrong, AKM, you are an outstanding and amazing blogger and your posts would inform and entertain no matter what they were about, I’m just so sick of HER. I want to relax my shoulders and breathe a big sigh of relief. Can’t do that til she’s toast. Hurry up SP – please speed up your self destruction for me, my dogs and my family’s sake! I have people to see, things to do, a life to live, and you are not in ANY of my future plans.

    Speaking of… an SP sighting today making a potty stop in Skagway. Yep – that’s all folks – made a landing for a potty stop. When one of the people who helped the plane unload was asked, hey did you talk to the gov?, they said, no – too busy with important stuff. It was an unspoken snub of the best kind!

    Also wondering where my check from Obama and Emmanuel is? I’m a paid commenter after all – it’s not Palin bashing just for the hey of it you know. I mean she’s REALLY BAD and easy to make fun of, but I still think I should get a check since Celtic Diva and all these other blue bloggers are into the big bucks!!

    “We have to be able to correct the record instantaneously,” [McAllister] went on to explain.

    Since this is officially coming from the governor’s office, one cannot help but be reminded of Orwell’s 1984’s protagonist, Winston Smith, who’s job for the Ministry of Truth was to “[re-write] historical documents to match the contemporaneous party line, the orthodoxy of which changes daily.” (Wiki)

    One wonders if McAllister is from now on going to spend all his time scanning the web for Palin news, firing off revisionist Twitters to “correct” the record, and identifying the next “unpersons” to be thrown under the bus.

    In view of:
    1) Palin’s take on freedom of speech and her obsession with anonymous bloggers, as well as her obsession with abstinence;
    2) Cheney’s recent change of heart about state secrecy, as well as his perpetual-war-on-terror world view;
    3) Condi Rice’s following revisionist statement on her authorizing waterboarding: “I didn’t authorize anything. I conveyed the authorization of the administration to the agency, that they had policy authorization, subject to the Justice Department’s clearance. That’s what I did.”
    4) Michelle Bachmann’s implying that flu epidemics are caused by Democratic presidents, and Limbaugh, Beck et al. blaming the flu epidemic on illegal immigrants;
    5) Michael Steele’s repeated cowardly apologies to Rush Limbaugh;
    I have come to the conclusion that the GOP should be re-named the GOD Party – Grand Old Dystopian Party.

    This comment Orwell made in 1949 to correct the misconception that “1984″ was an anti-communist novel is eerily relevant in the wake of eight years of Bush/Cheney:
    “My recent novel [Nineteen Eighty-Four] is NOT intended as an attack on Socialism or on the British Labour Party (of which I am a supporter) but as a show-up of the perversions … which have already been partly realized in Communism and Fascism. …The scene of the book is laid in Britain in order to emphasize that the English-speaking races are not innately better than anyone else and that totalitarianism, if not fought against, could triumph anywhere.” (Wiki)

    I re-read 1984 during the 2004 presidential campaign, but only now do I fully realize how truly “Orwellian” Cheney was.

    I am moving to Calgary, don’t have to worry about accents, since we’re northerners we’ll fit right in. Am looking forward to political discussions w/like-minded people. It has been an exercise in frustration here in my little red neighborhood. Much biting of tongue.

    I love your songs, they inject some much-needed hilarity into the Palin freakshow. I am going to admit that I don’t read all of them. Mostly it depends on whether or not I’m familiar with the song and like the song. But the ones I’ve read I’ve enjoyed. I skim the comments, and don’t read all of them in depth when the comment threads get really long.

    All that being the case, I get as much enjoyment out of Mudflats as I decide to get out of it. Going into it I know that I love AKM’s writing, I love the community here, the humorous spin on the direst of Palin drama from both AKM and the commenters. So I love it here, and wouldn’t visit if I didn’t. Life is too short to get discouraged about small stuff like off-topic comments.

    I know that Snoskred’s job is to try to herd flaming guinea pigs (that would be those of us who go off topic). But I wouldn’t love this site nearly as much if it were specifically on-topic. I read HuffPo, Daily Dish, Washington Monthly, Immoral Minority, Progressive AK daily, and I rarely comment on them. The Mudflats fosters commenting because it is welcoming, amusing & positive. I like it just the way it is, with songs and off-topic comments and on-topic comments.

    Just my opinion — we’ve all got one…

    I’ve already posted an on-topic comment.

    the problem child IS MY NAMENo Gravatar says:

    http://kithbridge.com/tcot/ for one half of TCOT’s partnership on why they couldn’t keep it together long enough to welcome GINO to the mix.

    “One week ago today, I sent Mike my thoughts on how TCOT should be run and how we should work together in the near future. This is particularly important, as due to his inability to work in a group decision-making environment, Mike was recently asked to leave the leadership team of Tea Party Patriots, a group that I remain a part of, and I felt it very important to reach clear and mutual agreement on how TCOT should operate. Mike responded that my plan sounded “reasonable”, but that he “may have a few tweaks on it”. Since then, I have asked him repeatedly to follow through and respond with his “tweaks” so that we could resolve any differences and go forward. He has refused to do so, citing other priorities and demands on his time. I asked one final time for his input yesterday, stressing the importance of the matter, but was again ignored.

    At this point, I do not feel comfortable continuing to operate this site with a partner who deliberately refuses to communicate with me on fundamental issues, and it would be inappropriate for me to run it by myself given that our agreement was an equal partnership. I have never received a dime for my work on TCOT; Mike, on the other hand, has a paid contract with PJTV for his show “TCOT on PJTV”. I’ve never asked for a cut of Mike’s PJTV profits, but I have asked to simply understand what his agreement is with PJTV for the show that bears our group’s name — a request which Mike has also ignored.”

    Mike sounds kind of familiar…

    Jay Pullins http://ltgov.state.ak.us/large_photo.php?id=24 Twitter is private and he only allowed THREE followers, one is, Palin and his links are, political, not personal.

    Someone go ask him to be your friend, see IF, he denies you.

    He was following SarahPAC isn’t that mixing the gov’s office with her campaign? Was he checking their Twitter’s while on duty in the state offices?

    Whoa. did this not go through?

    Question, Palin, has a new, Twitter buddy. None other then, her Chief of Staff, JayPullins. Now Jay, has his Twitt, set for PRIVATE, only allowing three, friends, one, PALIN.
    http://ltgov.state.ak.us/large_photo.php?id=24

    HMMMM, his, TWITTER is a follower of politics, like, Obama AND SarahPAC. Which raises the question, was/is he checking his Twit for PAC, while in the gov’s office? That is a major no no!….is it not?

    I personally could do without the songs…but I see so many others that really really enjoy them, so I hardly think they need to move elsewhere. I don’t mind skipping over the songs, and I don’t mind skipping over the comments about the songs.
    What I DO mind, is when I go to a blog and the commenters are hating this and hating that and yelling and insulting. That doesn’t happen here, and that is a big reason why it’s a nice place to come.
    So, lynnrockets…keep singing because you have a lot of fans!

    I know a lot of you “Twitter” but I am SO over hearing my local news team pitch themselves on “Twitter” that I can’t stand it.
    It pisses me off that while condemning people who blog, and post, many of the same criticizers have no problem WHORING themselves on Social Networking sites like Twitter, My Space and, Facebook.
    Sorry. I just had to textually regurgitate that.

    Paging, AKM!!!

    This is about the 4th time in these past 10 days that you have thunked your head to the desk. May I humbly request that you find a small travel sized pillow and place it where you currently thunk your head? I believe that would be between your keyboard and monitor area most likely….

    I’d hate to think that we wind up losing your unique twist, er take, on what happens in AK due to a coma induced by too many thunks….brought to you by that tweetering idjiot!

    I am mostly a lurker, and, like Rob said, so appreciate the fun and good humor in the comments! Song parodies aren’t one of my funny bones, so I usually just skim them, but as a witch – second degree student of Wicca – I really dislike the parody on “Rich Girl”. Witches are gentle and honorable folk, and while I understand the word has been so long misused most of us don’t think twice about it, it still grates on me. And, for the record, there are no bad witches, just witches who need to work harder …. If you want to call someone a b**ch, just say it! (Irony intended. Also.)

    PalinSucksNo Gravatar says:

    A thought came to me awhile ago. Has anyone brought up before, that as devote, Palin, says she is…prays for everything & faithfully believes in her, God…that when she said in Indiana she thought for a moment (While pregnant with Trig…still not sure she was…anyways) she could have an abortion and no one would know. Wouldn’t, God, know?

    The only thing I thought might be her, “SALVATION”, is her fear of, God. If she has no true belief, then she has no fear of anything or one.

    As self centered, egotistical, a jerk, she is….that is dangerous.

    @245:
    “she thought for a moment (While pregnant with Trig…still not sure she was…anyways) she could have an abortion and no one would know. Wouldn’t, God, know?”
    Thank you! I keep thinking about how she said over and over “no one would know” – like that was the important part, like she could “murder” her unborn child and it would be ok cause no one would know. That said more to me than her choice to “have” Trig (still not convinced…)
    Isn’t the test of character what we do when no one’s watching?

    I certainly hope no State of Alaska employees or officials are doing the tweets — and that includes the guv, unless she does it late at night after having already put in a full productive day!

    Alaskans do not elect a governor to tweet, especially when the purpose is to simply defend oneself against a justifiable complaint from a constituent.

    Ajay, That’s the democrates GOP dream ticket! One that would force this GOP gal to once again cast my vote elsewhere (as did many, many, many others who felt the Palin veep nom was offensive at it’s most basic level). My dream ticket?

    Romney/Petratrus. but the good general has said no to running for anything after retirement!

    IMO, the soon Madame Palin is off the GOP books, and the sooner we drag our party back under the big tent and away from the religious nutters who think Palin walks on water without the aid of Ice, the better our party will be.
