Comments on: Gingrich to Palin and Pawlenty – Go Sit in the Corner http://www.themudflats.net/2009/10/27/gingrich-to-palin-and-pawlenty-go-sit-in-the-corner/ Tiptoeing Through the Muck of Alaskan Politics Sat, 20 Mar 2010 01:47:19 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: beth http://www.themudflats.net/2009/10/27/gingrich-to-palin-and-pawlenty-go-sit-in-the-corner/#comment-143032 beth Wed, 28 Oct 2009 01:45:46 +0000 http://www.themudflats.net/?p=7611#comment-143032 Our own AKM gets mighty het up over some issues (and rightfully so!) but I've never known her {read her} to be anything less than absolutely manner-full in her comments. She has a way of putting the screws to someone in such a kind and polite way, that decorum is <i>always</i> maintained. (My Gran Scotland would've heartily approved of the consistently honorable tone of our own AKM. She, too, was a right Lady, my Gran.) So, imagine my surprise when I finished reading the [above posted] article! And here's why: Our own AKM concludes article's text with: "I have only one thing to say about that." Eagerly anticipating what it was our own AKM had to "say", I saw on my rather-smallish screen what looked like a large, upside-down "U". I was "yowza-ed", to say the least! "Good heavens," [and I cleaned <i>that</i> up, you betcha] "AKM must <i>really</i> be ticked [cleaned that one up, too] that ol' Newt is warning neo-cons of the dangers of a 3rd party to <i>their</i> agenda of getting rid of Pelosi et.al. <i>And</i> at him giving Ms. Quitty-Pants a 'heads up' that she's walking on some mighty thin ice by going all rogue-y (or is it rouge-y?) on the GOP. AKM probably figures any and all gaffes from Her Sarahness are welcome...the more divisive the Wasilla Woman can be to the GOP, the better." Yup, that's what I thought to myself; and I was giving AKM mad props for another great post about Ms. Word Salad's shenanigans in politics (and life, in general) <i>and</i> for providing a waaaaaay out of the ordinary visual to emphasize those feelings. And then I scrolled down… …only to discover the large, upside-down "U" was the tip-end of a jiffy-pop popcorn handle...<i>NOT</i>, as I had assumed, the tip-end of a middle finger giving ol' Newt the "one-finger salute" for pointing out to ex-Gov the obvious. Yeah, just goes to prove, once more, the old adage about people who assume things… beth. (Even though it wasn’t a middle finger tip, I’m sure Gran Scotland would’ve approved <i>had</i> it been.

Remember when she lifted his speech a few months ago and he supported her and didn't throw her under the bus???? Well, I bet he wishes now he did. This is just getting better and better. Now that Joe the Bummer has become the ultimate traitor I can't wait to hear what McCain has to say on ALL of this. Lol! P.S. AKM...Thank you! Love it! Jiffy Pop indeed!
