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)
She’s tweeting? How glorious!! How innovative! How current!! Crikey, this broad is NUTZ!!!!
O.
M.
G.
please keep us posted, as I do not twit, er tweet, but look forward to reading Sarah’s twats, ugh, tweets, with the Mudflat interpretation. What kind of word salad can one do with just 140 characters? am almost looking forward to finding out
Tweet, tweet………
Criminy-I just looked and Carl Rove and Newt Gingrich are shown as her “followers.” Gag me. “When does this cheerleader work????? Sick of her.
Sooo…Governor Twit is tweeting. I’m so (not) impressed *yawn*. She must have all of her governor-projects completed so she can spend lots of time connecting with the peons, I mean, her loyal subjects.
You can’t make this up…
further proof that SP might as well be in 7th grade
Gee… is a myspace page next? Gosh, Sarah is like, so cool, also, too.
Seriously, I am so embarrassed for her.
Ruby Re-0sable—Tweets @twats!!! choking on my diet coke.
I cannot tell a lie. I predicted this last week when I called GINO “twitterpated” ROFLMAO!!
Twittering word salad in 140 characters or less… a real challenge, at last!
for the non faint of here http://twitter.com/akgovsarahpalint you can follow her tweets here There are two already
Now if it is indeed her fingers twittering there will be a log of her own voice saying things.. and we know how she goes back on things.. blah blah
Wonder if this is a good idea for her.. she is now officially logged
Could bring interesting things
what a freaking idiot!!!!!
Does one “listen in” on Twitter? Does one have to have a Blackberry?
I pretty much have computers down pat, and the Internet (been on it since ‘94), but I’m barely cellphone-savvy and only been aware what a “Blackberry” is since last year.
I’d love to follow what Gov. Birdbrain tweets about.
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???????
Well of course she would be tweeting; she is a bird brain . . . .
Tweet !… Tweet !!……Tweet !!…Tweet !
(speaking of birds…)
Why can’t I get the Movie “One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest” out of my mind now..?
I sense a connection somewhere here. Hmm….?
Rut ro… checked out the twitter link and it’s not there. Could she have pulled it already? Bad bloggers. Bad.Bad.Bad.
What an idiot. (shakes head)
Haven’t we outlawed torture?
If the Governor needs to quickly counteract lies and distortions in the gotcha media, she’s surely not the most qualified candidate for the job.
http://myanimalblog.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/black-footed-ferret1.jpg
I am totally signing up for this. It’s going to be classic in a horrible horrible way.
(Yes, that’s snark you feel.)
It won’t stay a bakers dozen for long if she conducts business on Twitter!!! Something similar to I believe those emails that have never been produced!!
Eddie Burke should just forget about Twitter and go back to his shoe phone.
He could put in a call to the great giant head to learn what can be done about all these crazy Alaskan women!
Good Lord, you would think that Alaska is in need of a mega asylum for this over run of delusional crazy women.
What a way to speak with constituents!!
What Alaska is truly in need of is an asylum for its crazy, delusional politicians. Good grief! How does someone like Eddie Burke get elected??
Burke and Palin could have adjoining rooms.
I would think a ‘ major announcement’ might include something like she has finally removed the oil beneath Mt Redoubt (after over a month ) or that she had a solution for the Natives who were out of fuel.
That would be the work of a Real Governor.
Announcing your are ‘ Tweeting ‘…. that’s what You do in High School.
Maybe Bristol will be the one sending the messages… so we will be able to understand them..? (or Piper?)
the link is incorrect – remove the t from the end of her name and you’ll see it:)
Here is the correct link to Twitter for Palin:
http://twitter.com/akgovsarahpalin
Tweeting and spinning and spinning tweets…..are only diversions.
WHERE ARE ALL THOSE EMAILS CONCERNING STATE BUSINESS WRITTEN BY PALIN AND CRONIES ON A PRIVATE EMAIL ACCOUNT….WHICH THE COURTS ORDERED LAST YEAR TO BE MADE PUBLIC??

Nabe, you and I were thinking the same thing at the same time.
I hear you Lee323.
BORN TO BE REVILED
(sung to the Steppenwolf song “Born To Be Wild”)
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?
Born to be reviled
Born to be reviled
Here’s a song for lynnrockets…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWxAd-MjUwo
What’s funny about this is that today on Google News, they had articles on people leaving Twitter after a month!
Well – this was too easy………….
http://www.everwonder.com/david/tweety/
(Tweedle-lee-dee-dee-dee, tweedle-lee-dee-dee x 3) (Tweet x 4) She rocks in the tree tops all day long Hoppin’ and a-boppin’ and singing his song
That is the first thing that came to mind when I read the BIG announcement. Now the song just keeps playing and playing in my mind.
http://www.dickipedia.org/dick.php?title=Sarah_Palin
Read the whole thing.
Pretty funny stuff.
So, would Eddie say Sarah is a woman but not crazy? Or crazy but not a woman?
Do both of them really believe this is an acceptable use of the Governor’s time?
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.
This will NOT be a good thing for Mz. Pee. A hot-headed reactionary and instant broadcasting are NOT a good combo. No-sir-ee-bob!
Anyone for popcorn?
Thanks NYHawk for the link.
When I entered ak gov sarah palin it brought up her page which is web linked to caPharaS. Seems it was case sensitive or Twitter was just tweeted out!!!
Nuance and Subtlety
The Dawn of Time, (4000 B.C.) – April 19th, 2007
Tragically taken from us in a massacre of the English language by Sarah Palin.
May they Rest in Peace, Also.
Palin is on Twitter?!?!?!
Stop the presses!!!
Too bad it won’t do anything to boost her IQ.
OK, here is the link:

@ Big Pete
Nice choice. I’ll give Rockin Robin a shot in a wee bit.
As usual, LynnRockets, you rock!
Mark has a twitter, Sarah!
http://twitter.com/markbegich
Gues McAllister thought this ‘announcement’ would be a distraction to the Pres speech. Well gee wittikers, golly gee –there’s some that can multitask and listen to both!!
Hey McAllister, you might was to hire someone to teach the Gov and you how to do that!!!
My bad. Mark hasn’t used it since he won the election. I guess he’s too busy DOING HIS JOB to tweet!!
Wait until Bristol has a fight with her mom and sends out the message on Trig….ruh ro!
Bill didn’t really say ‘nuance and subtlety’ re: sarah, did he? I’m beginning to think the best gift for the AK executive branch is a bunch of copies of this
http://www.amazon.com/Scholastic-Childrens-Dictionary-Revised-Updated/dp/0439365635
Palin, ran state busuness on Yahoo and now Twitter, OMIGosh, doesn’t she have any active brain cells? What a dumbass.
Ruby asks, “What kind of word salad can one do with just 140 characters?” A side salad! (You know, the kind of salad you get with your sandwich instead of fries when you are trying to eat healthier.)
Cathy, none of those definitions of “twat” are the one I know. The definition I’m familiar with is considerably more naughty.
Is the fact, Palin, is using, Twitter for (Obvious attention and potential profit) outside the state of Alaska and linking the official governors site which has a big ass, INVITE GOVERNOR TO YOUR EVENT OR MEETING, really, ETHICAL?
2kewl4skool. How enlighening for all everywhere. Is Meaghan on the list? I delight in hearing how the governor’s breakfast progressed, progressing the state and all. This may be critical information, you know, Arctic Cat stuff. Does Newt know? And is Karl Rove really the VP of the seceded government? And the babies? Too delicious.
Look who is, “Following” her right now, online.
Jim Demint, Gov. Arnie, Lisa Murkowski, Rick Perry, Karl Rove.
http://twitter.com/akgovsarahpalin
Can we send commets to her, on this thing, Twitter?
Side salad: extremely clever, thanks for that.
To All I Saw. Thank you. What a hoot!

Cathy, none of those definitions of “twat” are the one I know. The definition I’m familiar with is considerably more naughty.
************
Naughty as in…..the stewardess asking the (male) passenger if he would like
“some TWA tea?”
Sickening, sickening, sickening…..Sharon Leighow is the one who said “Governor Palin changed her mind about the stimulus money.” So….now Palin is on Twitter so she correct the misinformation that the AP reporter wrote???? Unbelievable. She thinks she can rewrite history. I am sick to death of this pathetic excuse of a governor. GINO. When does she get any real work done? What are her accomplishments since being voted in? UGH……giving away $500 million to TransCanada? YUP—that’s all she has done. Period. Sarah….here’s a tip….RESIGN, go on a talk show circuit, sign the book deal and retire weathy! Only you don’t realize what a joke you are.
Okay, one again lynnrockets does in fact rock! I don’t have, and never intend to have a Twitter account. It is all I can do to keep up with my AOL account and the blogs I love to vist. But did I read/hear somewhere that Twitter was created to respond/post info in 140 words or less? If that is in fact the case, then maybe GINO can handle that. I think she knows 140 words. Look forward to the updates on this one!
She’s twitterpainted!
Which is totally appropriate for straddlin’ a hog.
Now, is she going to one of the biker rallies and enterin’ a wet t-shirt contest? You betcha. Will get her some good press–in moe ways than one.
PalinSucks Says:

——
Palin is following them, She is following 11 people.
There are 317 following her
Does this come w/strings attatched? Like when she’s no longer non-gov, does she get to keep the account or does the state of AK still have to pay for it? What a waste of tax dollars. Wonder what her other acct. is, since she has to have 2 blackberries at all times.
Here_in_PA, I think Twitter is free.
HELP! Can someone tell me how I can contact a blog moderator?
Send comments on Twitter. Excellent idea.
SoCalWolfGal,
It’s 140 letters. Not 140 words. So it’s like one sentence
The reason I like twitter is I can message to cell phones or receive messages from cell phones as I need to as I don’t own one!!!
The drawback is that you would have to follow her to send comments. So, never mind.
here_in_PA – Twitter is free
Chit Chat and Big Pete, I too, am familiar with all the definitions, I just did not want to offend anyone and at the same time have a good laugh.
I can tell you four people who will be following SP tweets for sure: Romney, Huckabee, Jindal and Pawlenty!
As of this moment, Governor Palin is following these people on Twitter:
1. Jim DeMint
2. Arnold Schwarzenegger
3. Mike Huckabee
4. Bill Ritter
5. Lisa Murkowski
6. Karl Rove
7. Rick Perry
8. Alaska State Senator Lisel McGuire
9. Bob Riley
10. Newt Gingrich
11. Bill Richardson
I may need to pay more attention to why she is tweeting Bill Ritter, the Democratic Gov. of Colorado.
curiouser,
Email add for AKM is on the About/Contact page which you can click on at the top of the page.
As for the moderators, I don’t know.
Obama live on public radio. Cheers to the first 100 days!
Booboobear: I don’t understand, when she could have wealth and fame, that she stays in politics, for which she has limited ability. I just don’t get it. Truly.
He was brilliant, as usual. But listen to his words, as it is so heartening.
My guess is that she’ll have someone else write them like most pseudo celebrities and a lot of journalists do. But other than that, UGH. My mom keeps lighting candles at church for all of you stuck in her reign of terror and blood thirst quest for fame and fortune.

In San Francisco, if you refer to GINO as a “twat” almost everyone would hear a word that rhymes with the smallest of the litter.
Question: The temperature that shows on the side of the page here — is that correct? Is it 61F in Anchorage?
I’m looking at temp in Toronto and it’s only 46F — WHAT!!!!!
If you are on twitter you have to see who she follows!! It’s hysterical!! What a cast of losers! I just went and pressed to follow her but I am going to remove it because she will just make me mad. That while group- her and her cronies who make me sick with their unintelligent sound bytes need to go form their own little nation!! I am all for it!!
And yes you can reply to her tweets. I replied to MCCains yesterday and I am going to stop following him and valley girl Meghan McCain as well.
Mudflats is linked to my favorite “outside blooger” – Andrew Sullivan’s The Daily Dish.Yeah!!!

I can’t figure out which one is her account as there are several Sarah Palin twitters. Some are clearly anti-palin, but I am confused as to whcih is her personal one.
Go for the book tour! Yup, go for it!
This is not to keep in touch with her constituents, its so all her Sarahsites can tweeter her and tell her how much they love her, its for them. You betcha
I tried to sign up for her tweets but it can’t find that account! Go figure!

LOVELY SARAH
(sung to the Beatles song “Lovely Rita”)
Aaaahhh…
Lovely Sarah Twitter babe
Lovely Sarah Twitter babe
Lovely Sarah Twitter babe
Nothing can come between us
When it gets dark you tweet my heart away
I was riding on my Harley
When I saw Caribou Barbie
Texting out a message on her little cell phone
Standin’ there winkin’ and blinkin’
She’s not one for real deep thinkin’
Couldn’t even conversate with Chuckie Gibson
Lovely Sarah Twitter babe
May I inquire discreetly (Lovely Sarah)
When are you free to send a tweet to me? (Lovely Sarah, babe, Aaaahhh)
Sarah!
Took her out and tried to feed her
She called me her little Tweeter
Told her that she acted like a teenager kid
She told me she loves to tweet it
I told her, “I think I’ll beat it”
So she said she’d settle for good old Uncle Ted
Oh, lovely Sarah Twitter babe
Where would Todd be without you
Is Russia still within your line of view
(Lovely Sarah Twitter babe)
(Lovely Sarah Twitter babe)

Daymn, there are half a dozen, new followers, everytime I refresh that link.
Everyone LOVES a train wreck.
Crystalwolf – I don’t think Eddie Burke has been elected to anything, even dogcatcher. He’s the radio guy who gets so miffed at women who disagree with him that he gives their phone numbers out on the air. Lovely.
Palin sucks – yes, you can add comments on twitter – unless there’s some way the twitter-er to block comments, I don’t know – unless anyone already has an account that can tell us?
sfterrier – not just San Francisco!
“Palin is following them, She is following 11 people.
There are 317 following her”
Thanks, I know nothing of this, Twitter. So did she have to ask or be invited to follow or can she just stalk anyone?
@ Canadian Neighbour …..thanks for the response. I tried the contact form for AKM yesterday. I will try again.
SNOSKRED, AKM, or another blog moderator, if you read this. I need your help. Please email me!
So, looks like the Repugs are going out to sell their new packaging. Should be interesting — Wolves in Sheep clothing!!!
Will there be donation boxes set up for tea bags??
What is with the ghost walk photo she put up on the left of the screen. Creepy.
I meant I emailed Mudflats yesterday….don’t think there is a contact form. And my apologies to all….I am aware that my freaking out is obnoxious.
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.
lots of new names here…cool!
this tweeting biz sounds a bit desperate. she’s hired an army of communications personnel and they come up with tweeting as a MAJOR annoucement.??
the palin admin is a sideshow.
i’ll tune in for the giggles.
How do I add Palin to the Twitter Account I just set up?
BTW, I am PalinSucks2009 cause PalinSucks and various other version are already in use, lol.
PalinSucks,
Log on and go to her page and click on the ‘Follow’ box under her picture.
Lol, you all see the goobers signing on for her. The skinhead guy looks like a potential stalker, as does that dingbat with the white ten gallon hat.
Thank you kindly, Canadian!!! Oh, I just logged on as her 666th follower
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:
This is Komrade George Soros with news of a broadside (get it?) attack by the Palinistas. They appear to have mastered a new communication technology which rivals our tinfoil helmets. Sarah Palin has sent a communique on this Twitter device which must be decoded by one of our Komrades. The message was, “Tweetie Bird has landed.”
There will be mandatory meeting at our commune (oops I meant headquarters) to plan our retaliatory attack.
Over and Out.
Oh, please, AKM, you HAVE to sign up for her updates so we can laugh about her stupidity all day long…what a joke.
Tweeting, imho, is one big frikken waste of time. Cannot tell you how often I’ve been asked to allows tweets but once upon a time I did and jeebus it was just a waste of time.
Doonesbury does a nice job of making fun of Roland Hedley tweeting. “Hey, I just went to the bathroom. And I washed my hands afterwards!”
Palin is wasting taxpayer money if she’s doing the twitter/tweet thing.
lynnrockets… I have a Paula Abdul tune in my head that would fit this twitter thing perfectly. Unfortunately, I never paid attention to the lyrics. Are you game?
PalinSucks2009 / Todd Palin…This is me.

I didn’t think so…and BM is not elected either….Eddie Smurke is a vile idiot.
I liked the dude who got in his face about calling women crazy. Noticed how he backed down….they are cowards, they will attack women, but when a guy shows up, they turn tail!

A twit on twitter.
Karmic.
She’s a cold-hearted snake
Look into her eyes
Oh oh oh
She’s been tellin lies
She’s a twitter girl at play
She dont play by rules
Oh oh oh
Alaska dont play the fool–no
Crystalwolf – dang, I missed that (somebody gettin’ in Burke’s face). Sounds like it was well worth hearing.
yes, he is a jerk.s
@ saukraut: Thanks for the suggestion, but I can’t say that I’m a big Paula Abdul fan. Any other choices?
As long as folks are tweeting, Moose Pucky would like to report that beautiful black-bellied plovers have been hanging around the flats of the slough this week. And many more shorebirds and ducks arrived today. Tweet. Twitter. Tweet. Quack.
Palinsucks I tried to “follow” you and wasn’t able to? Do you restrict your followers? Also just so you all know, all the politicians are doing this now. Palins rationale is what’s nutty. I have never seen such a liar although her cronies are all pretty bad.

Funny BM didn’t have much to say at all…?
sauerkraut,
I block requests I get. I use it to follow who I want but my main purpose is it allows me to message to friends/family cell phones from my computer at home when I need to as they may not be able to take calls, driving. Plus the fact — I don’t have a cell phone. When I homecared my Mom, I only was out of the house twice a week for 3 hours each time. I could not justify the need for a cell phone. We don’t do the “I’m eating a muffin” or we’d cancel each other!!
And to think, Eddie Burke is Palin’s daytime “go to” guy.
Moose Pucky 108:
Isn’t it fun to be by the shoreline when spring arrives? Today we had golden eagles and bald egales fishing on the tidelands. Of course the seagulls were there in force, and our salmon berry bushes are alive with all kinds of small birds.
We have nothing that compares to your shorebirds here, but we enjoy what we have.
BREAKING NEWS;
SarahPac has just announced that its members will now be communicating by the super high-tech method of tin-cans connected by string.
So now she will Twitter? One thing the Queen will use Twitter for is to rally her little army. And every time someone says something she does not like (like the truth) she will whine to her followers. It’s all just PATHETIC. Can you imagine her now all day long checking all her personal devices? ugh…..
@ Lee and Moose Pucky:
I am in total agreement that the wildlife of spring is beautiful. Why just this morning on the shores of Boston Harbor I witnessed a couple of pigeons and a water rat.
Lynnrockets… here is the link to the youtube. I also just put the vid on my blog. If you can do some appropriate lyrics, I’ll make them part of the post. With attribution for your creativity.

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.”
http://www.dailykos.com/
“Rouge Cou” (Palin’s idea of a classy way to say redneck) sounds a bit like a bird, oh no, more like a lame duck I mean.
(If that makes no sense to you, check this out http://palingates.blogspot.com/2009/04/classy-sarah-palin.html)
Ewwww gag me with a chopstick..LMAO
Palinsucks2009 I just sent you a tweet
Sauerkraut you should see how much other politicians tweet. Yesterday MCCain wrote he did not vote for Sebelius because he doesn’t want socialized medicine
Ok, I just added her. Can’t resist the temptation to see how word salad will work as a tweet!
Half the time though, I shut the silly thing off–too distracting when I have work to do!
This would be HUGE new for me if I thought Paline was going to send tweets herself (and unedited). Since it will obviously be her PR team sending out scripted messages after combing through every word for hours…I don’t expect much.
Oh, but what a gift it would be if they put the blackberry into her hands and told her to go.
@lynnrockets, I don’t know if you take requests from strangers, but can you do anything with “Everything’s Up To Date In Kansas City” from THE MUSIC MAN, and make it about Palin and twitter?
“According to them Bachman needs to be ‘Palinized’.
Has this made it to the Urban dictionary yet..? Hmm…”
I thought Palin was ‘Quayled’. Has it skipped a generation?
Now her fan club can follow her on Twitter. I can see it now:
Today, I am hainging in Wassilla, not being gov. I might make some mac and cheese for the kiddies lunch. Oh, and I’ll go down the street to find someone to hold hands with and sing kumbyah. Meanwhile, Let me set the record straight. those shoes were from Payless, and were Naughty Monkey knock offs. I’m one of you, right?
It’s only fitting…I always thought she was a bit of a twit.
One question: If she were to lie on Twitter, would that be admissible in court? After all, it’s a public record.
I am so ashamed to have someone of her low caliber in my party. No wonder we keep loosing.
May I make an observation here? I know that the Republicans were all a buzz about Obama not wearing a suit coat in the Oval Office as a sign of disrespect for the office of the President.
But as I look at the picture of the Governor in the previous post, it appears to me that she is wearing blue jeans. Now, it seems to me, that if Obama can be ridiculously chastised for his dress code, then why isn’t Palin in this instance?
Oh, yeah, she’s already had an issue with her clothes during the campaign, huh? Well, like I said, it is only an observation.
You have got to be kidding me. This was the big announcement? Seriously? Really? I’m on Twitter, but I don’t twit. (Yes, I know it’s tweet, but twit makes more sense and is funnier).
SP: Yah, teh DemocRATS hate me ‘cuz I’m a “maverick”!
SP: Well, golly, gee. Can’t a girl give a shout-out to ArticCat?
SP: Boy, that Greta Van Sussertain is startin’ 2 fuh-reak me out!
SP: Also.
It will be truly riveting.
I noticed the McCains are NOT on the list of who she’s following. Hmmmm, gotta wonder why! ::wink::
Absurd. It will probably backfire somehow.
asiangrrlMN,
Don’t forget :
It’s the fault of those pajama clad anonymous bloggers in the basement. They made me do it!!!
Gee Sarah, what’s next? Some Pull-Ups and a sippy cup?
Rico Saya “This would be HUGE new for me if I thought Paline was going to send tweets herself (and unedited). Since it will obviously be her PR team sending out scripted messages after combing through every word for hours…I don’t expect much.”
Lol, if the words are spelled right, you know it is NOT, Palin
Palin taking, five colleges, six years, one degree….serious dumbass.
I listend to my President on the radio this afternoon–my handsome, articulate, popular president with his 60% favorable rating and his 60% filibuster proof majority in the Senate–addressing ideas that I believed in and which made sense and I thought, “All is right in the world.” Sarah Palin’s team and ideas and beliefs and gestalt are in the crapper. Her party is bankrupt. As she hews farther to the right she squanders her own political capital. Let’s enjoy this 63 degree, sunshiny day and breathe deeply and fill our lungs with hope, because, suddenly WE ARE RIGHT!! Love to all mudpuppies.
Hang in there, AKM…it may not last!
Most users don’t hang around….wasting public resources….

Canadian Neighbour
SP: Durn PJ-wearin’, lattes-sippin’, basement-dwellin’ bloggers! Also.
“Hang in there, AKM…it may not last!”
Oh, more then half of these followers are goofing her and the other are Team Sarah, losers, creating false identities, to bump, her totals.
You are F-ing kidding me, right?
Just logged in. I am stunned.
Goody, I can now follow, the “Nut-Job in Chief” as she goes through her day.
Maybe this is not a bad thing! As GINO ‘Tweets’ all day long we will get confirmation of her daily meandering, and NOT doing the job as Gov!
I am sure I am late to the game, and many folks already thought the same. But Come On, a MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT when the Prez was speaking (at least in my time zone.) Get over yourself “SISTER”, and get a clue.
There are some keepers, on there. Palin, just might find, Bristol a husband. And, by the looks of a few hundred of the guys signed up, Piper might be married off as well.
CAN YOU SAY C R E E P Y, stalkers? Ewwww, to that, Billy Bob Thorton, Doppelgänger.
Rico @ 124
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.
“…all the little birdies on J-bird street; love to hear the robin go tweet, tweet, tweet..” lyrics by Bobby Day. Rockin’ Robin was his only hit.
OT…I have a friend who recently moved back from spending 5 years in AK. He got arrested a couple of months ago for public intoxication, domestic violence, and public nudity. When the cops showed up to arrested him, he was found running around outside his apartment complex without any clothes. When the cops asked him to put on some clothes…his response was, “It’s okay, I’m from Alaska.”
Gaaaaaaaah! I can’t escape the wingnuttery that is Michele Bachmann anywhere! Gaaaaaaah!
Sorry, but she chaps my hide even more than does La Palina. Probably because Bachmann is a local gal.

Good suggestion. I’ll give it a try, but it might take me awhile.
In the meantime…

(sung to the Village People song “Y-M-C-A”)
Sarah, there’s no need to feel down
I said, Sarah, just because you’re a clown
I said, Sarah, a smile isn’t a frown
There’s no need to be unhappy.
Sarah, you lost a race with McCain
I said, Sarah, you flushed him right down the drain
And you messed up all of your interviews
But you’re still on the nightly news
We’ll all laugh at you in 2-0-1-2
We’ll all laugh at you in 2-0-1-2
We’ll have such a good time when you fall on your face,
And we’ll revel in your disgrace…
We’ll all laugh at you in 2-0-1-2
We’ll all laugh at you in 2-0-1-2
You will have SarahPac, and a new running mate
To help spread Politics of Hate…
Sarah, are you listening to me?
I said, Sarah, you’ll have to go on TV
I said, Sarah, I’m sure we’ll laugh till we pee
And you’ve got to know this one thing!
You make a big ass of yourself
Every time that you open your mouth
You give ammo, to our friend Tina Fey
She just repeats the things you say…
We’ll all laugh at you in 2-0-1-2
We’ll all laugh at you in 2-0-1-2
You’ll get all of the votes from the states that are red
But, the G.O.P.is now dead…
We’ll all laugh at you in 2-0-1-2
We’ll all laugh at you in 2-0-1-2
You can wink and then blink, and twit everyone,
But, you’ll need a fork cuz you’re done…
Sarah, you’ll have a case of the blues
I said, Sarah, has no grasp of world views
But that’s OK, cuz she amuses us,
As we throw her under the bus…
That’s when she will realize that,
Her future, is modeling for “Arctic Cat”
Maybe she’ll host a reality show
If they pay her with enough dough.
We’ll all laugh at her in 2-0-1-2
We’ll all laugh at her in 2-0-1-2
She can wink and then blink, and twit everyone,
But, she’ll need a fork cuz she’s done…
2-0-1-2
We’ll all laugh at her in 2-0-1-2
Sarah, Sarah you’ll wear a big frown
Sarah, Sarah to us you’re a clown
2-0-1-2
We’ll all laugh at her in 2-0-1-2
Sarah, Sarah you’ll have a case of the blues
Sarah, Sarah I said, why don’t you just go vamoos.

Closet Mudpuppy, yeah, I know about the site, but I can’t bear to read it every day. Like I said, it’s a little harder to take when it’s a homegrown wingnut.
lynnrockets, you are just amazing! Love it!
@ Trish: Thanks. But his is , after-all the “Anti-Palin Make-Up Funny Songs Blog” isn’t it?
Actually, I think this is *not* that blog.
But, with wordpress.com or blogger.com you can easily start that blog! For free, also too!
@Professor Geezer: “@lynnrockets, I don’t know if you take requests from strangers, but can you do anything with “Everything’s Up To Date In Kansas City” from THE MUSIC MAN, and make it about Palin and twitter?”
***
I love that song, but just for the record, it’s from “Oklahoma!”, not “The Music Man”.
***
Back to Palin and Twitter: Are they really nuts? Even if it’s her PR folks tweeting, that is really a foolish idea. They might put words together better but the logic is still hers and it’s goofy. Oh well, one more way for the rest of the world to see the proof that she’s not qualified for anything in politics. Set the record straight indeed.
lynnrockets, you are amazing. that was hilarious. I’d say that we’d start singing it around my house, but my 4 yr old picks up on everything that we say (here in the midst of one of the reddest parts of Alaska), and I have a hard time getting her to understand that she can’t say “sarah palin sucks” everytime SP is mentioned… I will wait until we move to Canada to start singing it, she can sing it there to roars of approval, perhaps while we are out eating dinner or something.
@ Snoskred
Believe me when I say that I do not have any ability whatsoever to comprehend how to create or maintain a blog of any sort. I don’t even know what the word, “blog” means.
“I don’t even know what the word, “blog” means.”
Web Log (weBLOG)
lynnrockets, it isn’t that hard. If you go to a site like wordpress.com, they will practically do all the work for you. I think it would be cool if you started a blog of parody songs!
@ SMR: Where in Canada might you move to? I spent much of my childhood there as an American pretending to be Canadian so that I could play hockey there. This was all in Quebec, so you can imagine the funny looks I received while speaking French with A Boston accent.
What is the Twitter address? I found an old one, but was for the campaign and hasn’t been used since January. I just have to know what she is saying.
@ Rico: Thanks. I would never have figured that out. My techno-mind still runs on D-cell batteries.
@ asiangrrlMN: How ’bout them Bruins? And the Celtics and Red Sox aren’t looking too bad either, eh?
Correct me if I’m wrong (ROFLOL) but this just might maybe possibly mean that all those word salad-y”official press releases” on the Official Gov’t website will instead be twittered. No?
Well, I can dream.
Nan
isn’t tweeting communicating with ‘anonymous’ ppl who are ‘blogging’???
her hypocrisy is swelling
Is that a change of subject, lynnrockets? Well, you can celebrate while I sob in sadness. You took all our best players (Garnett, Papi, and…one more. I can’t remember. I’m blocking), and our teams suck. Well, to be fair, the Twins will overachieve. They always do–and then they fail on the last day or in the first round of the playoffs. Grr.
Lynnrockets:
1) Great stuff! I love song parodies, and yours are top-notch.
2) Do you take requests? A version of “Don’t Cry For Me, Argentina” would fit. Well, would have fit better on Nov. 5th, I guess.
I was seriously tempted to join so I could get a glimpse into the strange and terrible mind of Palin, but then I remembered Nietzche’s warning about staring into the Abyss.
Leave it to wingnuts to latch on lamprey-like to the LCD of the Web! Keep us updated on the highlights… This is too good.
This one still makes me laugh, so I’ll post it again.
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
(Fade to end)
Just a thought — Anybody willing to try to get Sarah’s fans to believe 2012 dream team would be Sarah and Michelle? What great fodder if they would start that draft.
@ asiangrrrlMN
At this point, I think we’d be willing to give back both Garnett and Big Papi.
@Pat, thanks for the correction on MUSIC MAN vs. OKLAHOMA!
I was hoping for maybe Failin’ Palin/ Waterboarding Hannity.
BREAKING NEWS:
After Arlen Specter’s defection, Mike Steele has just released the official G.O.P. campaign slogan for all elections in 2010. To wit, “If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em”

WITCH GIRL II
(sung to the Hall & Oates song “Rich Girl”)
You’re a witch girl, up in A-las-ka
And it’s getting worse for you every day
You can perform like a Playboy Bunny
You can perform like a Playboy Bunny
You’re a stitch girl? You’re just like a Czar
So we really wish you would go away
Pray, Honey that we don’t send you too far
Send you too far
And don’t you know, don’t you know
That it’s wrong to preach politics of hate
You’re so far gone, so far gone
Lil’ Miss Caribou you belong in a zoo
Todd should be in there too
‘Cause
You’re a witch girl and you’re no big star
And mascara won’t help you hide your age
You can go on wearing rimless glasses
You can go on wearing rimless glasses
There’s a hitch girl, you’re a has-been now
And the voters are about to turn the page
The pitbull is a pig with lipstick now
Now say “Bow Wow”
Not too bright, a bit insane
It’s so sleazy, to damn others just because they complain
Those little fools and their ethics rules
They just get in your way and impede your payday
They will rue the day, oh…
You’re a witch girl, and you’ve gone too far
But that defense fund she help to pay your way
You can rely on that SarahPac money
You can rely on that SarahPac money
You’ll be a rich girl with a brand new car
And then you’ll move your family far away
Say money but it won’t get you too far
Say money but it won’t get you too far
Say money but it won’t get you too far
Get you too far
And you say
You can rely on the SarahPac money
You can rely on the SarahPac money
You’re a rich girl, a witch girl
Oh, you’re a rich witch girl yeah
Say money but it won’t get you too far
Oh, get ya too far
Why not start up a “Music Blog”?
These days every blessed Mudflats subject seems overwhelmed with the songs & taking over all the discussions. Or, better yet, weren’t they trying to start an “I Love Mudflats” with guest writers?
Jeesh! Lighten up. Just trying to inject a little humor. Now I’ll just have to take my ball and go home.
-George Soros
I LOVE the songs – the hilarity is precious.
Can we have a little dressing w/ that word salad twitter from the gov? I always call her a twit so of course the TWITTERING TWIT is just perfect for me! She’s just going to be twit talking to her already bot fans anyway. Or to people who are going to make fun of her twitty twitters, or the ones keeping count of her twittery lies. Snicker. Snicker twitter. Twitter snicker.
okay – I’m eager to follow Sarah – but my seach on twitter finds no resullts for akgovsarahpalin – search for akgov = no results , search for sarahplain – several “fake sites’
I wanna follow her – how do I do it ???????????????????????????????
How may people think Sarah is personally going to twitter?
And how many people think she is going to hand this task off to a minion to tweet the company PR?
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!!

I have to say I agree with that. It also drags the comments off topic, and serious subjects get derailed. ;(
Nothing personal, just the way I feel.

Absolutely – we *have* started it. You can find it over here –

That blog will have a new post every day at 9am EDT, and that would be a much better place for off topic comments, leaving the threads here on topic. But again, that is just my opinion.

Just imagine the potential…
Guess who Palin, added to FOLLOW on TWITTER….MUDFLATS!!!!
And, Jindal, Chuck Heath Jr. (Poor bastard, being related to her isn’t bad enough), Fox News (She has to stay current, lol, surely hoping, they mention her), Drudge Report, News Week (Maybe McAllister, can translate N E W S for her), and some of the same.
Betcha Arnie’s wife is not too thrilled with the forced association & name dropping.
http://twitter.com/AKGovSarahPalin/friends
Not even at 2,000, followers, after, 12 hours on Twit, LOL, Palin, sucks!!!!
BTW, she or one of her cronies, is on right now linking friends to her network. (And, probably making up fake accounts to follow herself. She gets LOST easily)
She is JUST NOW, getting around to adding, Alaska, news & networks to her list. Midnight and it came to her, better, find me some Alaskans on Twit, before they figure out, I am only here to seek free publicity NOT professional courtesy.
Too Late Palin, you are already….BUSTED!!!!
Daymn, she is going to town now, almost six new links in three minutes.
Lynnerockets– so much about Palin’s life lends itself to Copacavilla in how it rhymes! That is genius! In laws getting high now she just hates Levi? ROTFLMAO
> (A moment of silence for nuance and subtlety please)
hilarious!
Fantastic. Can we also get Michelle Bachmann on Twitter?
Palin / Bachmann 2012!!
Surely Palin has a degree in twittering already!
Sorry if someone else has already made this observation, I haven’t read all the thread.
I think people are jumping for joy that S.P. is gonna start chatting to them.. personally.. as far as I can see she is just making political kindof like comments with fancy words and then linking to a web page
More like S.P. promotion vs. good ole hometown girl just like “them” sending cute personal type messages all day long
IMO, this latest high school stunt is GINO’s way of again putting her “political pinky” in the national waters to test her “following” in order to gauge future endeavors. It is most difficult for a fading beauty queen to deal with the reality of faded glory.
One of her fans from “the other side” is really upset that the Gov put Mudflats on her twitter account. She says:
**Crap, she just added Mudflats. Sarah, don’t do it. It’ll just tick you off if you read that woman’s crap. Seriously. Don’t subject yourself to that BS. If it makes me ill to read that spin, I can’t imagine how upsetting it’ll be to the one that’s being lied about. Ahhhh. I feel like a protective mother or sister or something.**
Another added the Gov and “now feels closer than ever to her”.
(There isn’t a big enough ROLL MY EYES for this crap)
All I can think of is Katie Couric, whose comment about Twitter was something like “I can’t imagine anybody being interested in my eating a tuna sandwich for lunch.” (And that was not a slap at SP, becaruse it was made before the Gov began to Tweet.) But SP has such an ego, she probaby does think folks are that interested. Unfortunately, some are, it seems.
The Twit is Tweeting!!
But she can’t say anything in only 140 characters, or whatever the number is.
She says nothing with thousands of words though too, also.
This is good because every pixel is there as your record of what you said and what she says will be a HOOT.
I doubt she will be able to purge every stupid tweet, like she did all the photos of her from Jan -April 2008.
If the twit fits……….
You can bet your bottom dollar that she won’t be writing on Twitter. It may be in her name but I’ll bet it will be handled by one of her representatives. They have to prevent her from making foolish statements or using word salad. They also have to delete derogatory remarks so her feelings won’t be hurt.
GOP Dream ticket: Palin/Bachmann 2012.
“It is most difficult for a fading beauty queen to deal with the reality of faded glory.”
Oh yeah, as can be seen, by the several hundred NEW, friend(s), she MADE UP, this morning to up her count. I have been clicking on several dozen of them, with no pictures who have joined her. Almost are a NEW accounts which have the exact same followers as the others or none at all.
Wonder WHO is creating all these pseudo. Betcha it is her governors staff.
I wonder, can their computers, at the govs office, be audited to see where their time is sent?

Is Twitter now the place of nuance and subtlety?
I’ll bet she got her feelings hurt about being left out of the GOP “cool kids” club, TCOT – Top Conservatives On Twitter. I can’t believe she didn’t already have a twitter account; it’s been all the rage in GOP circles since right after the election in November, was a force behind the teaparties, etc. Newt, for one example, is a compulsive twitterer. Calling attention to her late entry into tweeterdom just reinforces her irrelevance to the national GOP.
Not that the GOP hasn’t had significant Twitter-enabled fails:
http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/02/virginia-gop-chairmans-blog-outreach-massive-fail.php
Whoops. Turns out that TCOT has, in the last 24 hours, imploded – a spat between the founders. Just hours after she made her major announcement. Sarah, your timing sucks.
First: you have got go be kidding (sniff, I know you’re not). Second, not that I would EVER condone an illegal act (please beleive me, I don’t need SP’s secret police camped in Nunaka valley, BUT How long will it take for that Twitter account to get hacked?
If this is it: http://twitter.com/akgovsarahpalint IT’S GONE! Anyone? Where is the SP twitter. I am SAVY and of right now (7:23 am AST) I find NO SP twitter feed!?!

That’s horrible! I guess I really do need more coffee, and the twit page is bad too.
Great. Same lies and distortions, just as text messages instead of quotes in the news stories. Twitter is the perfect medium for someone with so little to say.
Riiiiiiiiiiight, it’s not a “flip flop” its a “Acknowledgment”
gotta jump in on the song writing….
love it. keep it up.
I was wondering, why, Palin, was actually, seen at AK, events this past week. She was filling the govs page with pics in anticipation of launching, her, Twit to appear, governy.
pitiful. just pitiful….b
Well, she’s got the twit part down.

Who thinks the twit does her own tweets? It has to be Meg because they look like something someone with a familiarity of the english language would post.
Did anyone notice this occurred at the same time as Obama’s press conference?
She wants to use Twitter to spin news about herself in a more postitive light? What a twit. My Gov, Schwarzenegger, who doesn’t completely suck even though he’s a Republcian, actually has the good sense to use Twitter to keep my state informed about things we care about – like the status of the spreading Swine Flu and distrubution of antivirals.
http://twitter.com/schwarzenegger
“nuance and subtlety” spoken in the context of nIlap Haras?
About hurt myself laughing.
“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.
@lynnrockets:
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.
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…
Tweet for the TWIT1
Palins Word Salad with a side of Bachmann’s Wingnut dressing. tweet tweet…
In Sarah’s case, shouldn’t it be called “Slither”?
Apparently, nuance and subtlety are indeed dead in the Republican Party…

And sanity, too, by the way. No sanity left whatsoever.
OMG, Again this is just too funny for words. I can’t type anymore because I am dying from laughter:)

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?
http://twitter.com/Sarah_Palin
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?
http://twitter.com/JayPullins
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.
Look! I didn’t make ONE SLAM on The Gash!
oK, she’s officially a laughing stock.
She will command a massive following, I don’t care what anybody says.
The internet is no longer the realm of the liberal democrat

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!
At Wokette, they are being far less restrained about the twitterbug. Adult rated for sure. http://tinyurl.com/c5kemu
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.)
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.
…so what, the Twit is twittering…
maybe now the Official State page can get back to normal also
@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.
I went to twitter and searched for “akgovsarahpalin” and I got nothin’.
I’d be curious to see the “tweets”.
Any update on what her account is?
AHaHa, she took him off her friends list.
“Palin, has a new, Twitter buddy. Her Chief of Staff, JayPullins. Jay,has his Twittset for PRIVATE,only allowing three, friends, one, PALIN.
http://twitter.com/JayPullins
Jay also has SarahAC as a friend. Was he communicating w/PAC while in the gov’s office? That is a major, no no.”
won’t she just say that someone was twittering on her behalf if she trips herself up?
