Open Thread – A Funny from Fox.
Oh, I do love this so.
It’s from FoxNews.com. (Where else?) It does make me wonder, though. You know how every time a Republican is caught in some awful sex scandal and they show them on Fox News with a (D) after their name, and then they say it was just an accidental typo? Do you think maybe it really was?
Nah.
[Hat tip to ChiCat for the great capture!]
Despite all her rage she is still just a rat in a cage.
Maybe Fox news needs to watch more David Letterman.
Dave has been mentioning Sarah’s book almost every night by name….
for Weeks and he always gets it right. And I don’t think He is that close to Sarah.
Fox doesn’t seem to be a very good friend.
Good Morning ¤
Watched “By the People” last night. It was an interesting behind the scene look of Obama’s road to the White House. Also too i’m glad Hoffman didn’t win, it would have made Palin and her camp insufferable ( more so than normal, if that is possible)
The best election coverage came from John Steward last night, he realy hit the ball out of the park
That’s a riot. There are 10 comments about the article so far, all of them mentioning the oops, and yet no correction. Guess no one at Fox looks at their own website.
What a hoot! You think the Dems have a little mole over at Fox?
Yay!
Gee, Fox finally got something right – Sarah is definitely an American Nightmare. LOL
I watched By the People just now (missed the first half hour, so I’ll watch that tomorrow). It took me back to last year like it was yesterday. We just need to recapture that energy of electing Obama and turn it to getting a good health care bill passed.
Glad Owens won in New York 23. The net result of this is one more Democrat (conservative though he is) in the House for the next year. The Dem for Virginia and Corzine were wretched candidates (for different reasons). I think the politicians actually know this, and won’t draw any conclusions from it, so the media can say all they want. And Bloomberg just barely won. Joy Newton Small of Time said on Hardball last night that that was the big news, and it is.
Maybe fox is confusing the rouge with the lipstick on the pig???
I’m amazed and thrilled Owens won NY-23. In reading other sites and comment threads, I’ve seen people saying Dems wons TWO seats in congress this election. Anyone know who/what other race?
All of the sudden that 60 votes for Public Option Health Care may have gotten a bit closer to happening.
The new senators/representatives need to hear our opinions on this issue, so, back to the old drawing board of writing your letters and making your phone calls. Mr. Terps reminded me I haven’t weighed in with my new (tho temporary) senator for Florida LeMeuex (spelling may be wrong). He was appointed by Gov. Crist when Mel Martinez retired.). So, we’ll see what happens.
I posted the link to this on twitter earlier. Funny as h*ll.
Maybe it was no accident, especially after the night caribou barbie had.
No king maker is she… HA HA HA
#8 TERPISHORE
There were elections in California where a dem picked up a repug held seat.
You wouldnt know it from the msm.
No one has caught it yet – it still has the same book title. Tomorrow the error will be news, also, too!
6:35 am — still there on Fox page. Good to start the day with a smile. Now to clean the coffee off my screen…

Keith Olbermann mentioned it last night and even he was surprised it wasn’t bigger news.
I always wonder about this myth of a LIBERAL media.
All i seen so far (even on Canadian news) is what the two governor races mean for Obama and how it is a referendum on him, almost nothing about the fact that the Dem’s picked up two seats in the house and Bloomberg barley won his reelection.
Loved Ownes comments after winning (take that S’carah).
“Our challenges aren’t Democratic or Republican. They’re not liberal or conservative. They are American challenges that we will overcome with American resolve,” Owens said

Oh, but wait, is the NY 23rd still part of REAL America? Or are they now the fake America? Guess we’ll let the queen decide -snark.
but the saddest deafeat of the day…
Voters in the northeastern state of Maine repealed a state law that would have allowed same-sex couples to wed.
Whew – NY23 ! I guess that’s one area $’arah won’t be visiting on her book tour, eh?
Here’s her FB blather about her book tour plans. Wow, some hard hitting interviews are lined up . (gak) Our only hope is Barbara Walters.
*** I am very, very excited about the upcoming road trip for my book. It will be an honor to meet as many of you as possible!
“Going Rogue” publisher HarperCollins is working hard to schedule book signings across the nation, and we’ll be announcing the locations in the next day or two. I’ve decided to travel to cities outside of the typical book tour venues, and I hope to cover as much of the country as I can.
We’re in the process of arranging interviews with local and national media. An interview with Oprah Winfrey is already scheduled, and I’m also hoping to have the opportunity to talk with Bill O’Reilly, Barbara Walters, Sean Hannity, Greta Van Susteren, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham, Dennis Miller, Tammy Bruce, and others, including local Alaska personalities Bob & Mark and Eddie Burke. (Variety is the spice of life!)
Can’t wait to hit the road. Can’t wait to see you!****
Variety ????? Oh PUHLEEEZE Woman! ( have I ever mentioned that I don’t care for Palin very much?)
And a ‘shout out’ to SC:
Mark Kleinschmidt emerged victorious in his campaign for mayor of Chapel Hill -he’s openly gay. So ha Stanford.
And it’s even better:
Kleinschmidt is a leading civil rights and LGBT advocate in the Tar Heel State. After serving as a staff attorney at the Center for Death Penalty Litigation in Durham, he was hired as executive director of the Fair Trial Initiative in October 2006. Kleinschmidt is former board president of North Carolina’s ACLU chapter and a former board member of Equality North Carolina.
Buff- Looks like Oprah is as daring as she’ll get. Variety my Irish a s s
I don’t think Scarah will like Barbara Walters much.
BufGal@18 reported: SP wrote “Going Rogue” publisher HarperCollins is working hard to schedule book signings across the nation, and we’ll be announcing the locations in the next day or two. I’ve decided to travel to cities outside of the typical book tour venues, and I hope to cover as much of the country as I can.”
… but I have this new mac computer with this new Sarah Palin “What I Really Meant” software, so I ran that paragraph through the program and here’s what I got:
“My book publishers (whatever its name is and whatever their name is) are working hard to find locations to have me do book signings where more than six people will show up to have my book signed. I’ve told them explicitly I do not want to go to any places where people might make fun of me and they told me that means I must travel to cities outside of typical book tour venues. But that’s OK, I hope to cover as much of the country as I can because traveling is fun, especially when someone else picks up the tab.”
Just Googled the page – still up w/ no correction at 7:30 AM! Hahaha – laughter energy for the day!
Watched a bit of the Today Show – same ol’ same ol’ msm. It’s all NJ and VA, no mention of dem wins. Favorite moment – Eric Cantor talking about the races that will take place in “Oh-Ten”
I love it when lack of intelligence shows.
@#1 Big Slick
LOLOLOL Good one – very pertinent. I always liked Smashing Pumpkins.
@#23 terpsichore
I see your mac converter Sarah Palin “What I Really Meant” software is working perfectly. *g*
I have heard them use the word, sweep. But it was two to two, and the DEMS won in congressional districts that they haven’t won in a century, in NY. The CA race I am not sure about but it was GOP.
Owens, baby, Owens!!
Up for a little Wednesday fun?
Call Palin and congratulate her on the campaign loss in “23″
SarahPac: (202)747-1812
@ terpsichore — Great Palin “what-I-really-meant” translator. Screen takes second coffee hit of the day.
@ in exile (SC) – Cantor doesn’t shy away from showing his “intelligence.” He’s the rising GOP star? No wonder “S’carah and the Teabaggers” (could be a great band name, by the way) are running roughshod over their party.
Gotta love those Fox News fact checkers.
Terps @23 – I just gotta get me a Mac! We could’ve used that during the campaign. I wouldn’t dare put the quittin’ speech through tho. Mac’s are expensive to replace and that speech would cause yours to burst in to flame, for sure!
I find the NY23 outcome especially fitting considering it’s the year anniversary of the McCain/Palin loss. I know for sure they’re going to gear up like crazy for 2010 but for today, I’ll relax a little.
(has anyone else envisioned the rabid conservatives as having the mindset of the Orcs in Lord of the Rings? http://www.bikereader.com/solo/orcs.jpg )
That gaffe is so funny.
Fox never said a truer word.
This NY loss, which was huge, and the drama that Palin always brings with her should make some candidates think twice about her involvement in their campaigns. That woman brings trouble everywhere she goes.
When Palin’s involvement means the GOP loses a seat that they have held for over a hundred years, a Kingmaker she is NOT. Last predictions I heard were that Hoffman would win by around 7%. Opps.
Guess American’s said “NO Thanks again”, to Sarah’s values. She’s two for two.
The MSM coverage is disappointing, at best.
It will be interesting to see/hear how Glenn Beck spins the NY23 loss, since Hoffman was a Beck “idol”.
An American Nightmare indeed…..some of folks at Fox need to get away from their own right wing agenda & surf the net a little more frequently. Ho Ho Ho, an early Christmas gift from Fox. Thanks!

Actually, the special election in California for the vacant Congressional seat went to John Garamendi, the Dem. Lt. Gov. of California, an old buddy of Nancy Pelosi. We are batting .500
It is now morning in North America and Faux has yet to correct their booboo.
@ Big Slick… love that song, but from the beginning I changed Billy Corgan’s lyrics to “… BECAUSE of my rage…” For it then it becomes a reminder to be tolerant, and only then can one escape the cage which holds the angry ignorant. Those of us who are relatively free of that rage are the ones who wander past and with that little spoon of joy and wisdom rattle their cages.
The Alternative nineties had many “loony” thinkers”, Smashing Pumpkins among them.
I hope winky isn’t silly enough to try to take credit for the two gubernatorial wins last night. The fact of the matter is that both, especially VA, were expected. Deeds in VA ran a bad campaign & Corzine was very unpopular. Both repugnant candidates told winky “thanks, but no thanks” to her offers of campaigning for them. Congressional wins are much more important in the scheme of things. Now that winky, dick 2 (armey) and their brigade of flying monkeys have meddled in upstate ny politics and aided the Democrat in winning the district for the first time in over a century, what next? I’m hoping they opt to hop in the batsh*t crazy mobile and head down to TX. I’d like to see a 3-way tag team cage fight. On one side winky, dick 2 and “goodhair perry. On the opposing team dick 1 (aka darth vader), KBH and the princess of darkness, daughter cheney. First round dick 1 vs dick 2,
dick 1 wrote the book about being a ruthless, black-hearted, cold-blooded pr*ck, he eats the likes of dick 2 for an after school snack. Round 2 winky vs princess of darkness (pod), pod verbally shreds winky apart inside a minute. Round 3 kbh vs goodhair, who knows? But KBH certainly has the most venomous tag team partners.
I have to share my joke: Have you heard about Sarah Palin’s treatise on values? It’s called “Gouging Roe.”
AKM, you rock, as always.
I’m not sure that the “boo boo” at Fox is a mistake. Rupert Murdock might have decided to have a little fun while he turns off the money spigot where Sarah has been showering. He can always point to this reportage of the American nightmare and claim that he’s fair and balanced.
It’s fixed now.
Snatchin’ DEFEAT from the hands of victory….
Way to go sayrah paylin ~ you keep dippin’ those teabags, ya hear!
one of my favorite lines from John Steward last night
“The media took this race and ran with it, asking over and over again if this race will define the GOP for years and years to come, prompting Stewart to ask, “Might the media, with really very few other elections to cover, be stuffing one hundred thousand pounds of their bullshit into District 23′s five-pound bag?”

to funny
Announced yesterday her “book tour” is a tour of the Fox News studios.
What’s funny is that Palin fans have been touting her power for weeks. They have been saying that just one word from Palin’s facebook page and she has the power to change history.
Hahaha. She changed history alright but not in the way her fans anticipated. With her help, the GOP lost a seat that they held for over a 100 years. Wow….such power.
Does anyone think that Palin’s jaw was sticking out as she wrote her facebook, “I’m a loser, again” page last night?
The Fox article has been corrected. Further into the story I noticed this interesting tidbit: “The authors [Walshe and Conroy] said they faced intimidation tactics from Palin aimed as [sic] driving them out of the state as they worked on the book.”
Sorry for posting #40 on this thread, there is actually an earlier thread regarding NY 23 defeat of the pocket protector nerd. I was just so filled with glee & happiness that I had to leap before looking.
lol, Fux news is just hilarous, thank you for brightening my morning with that lovely tidbit.
I just luuuuuuv irony…
Had a good laff at the gaffe and then at the foe news fans’ comments… some of them are having downright hissy fits… one is even calling for firing the author, whose name I haven’t seen yet.
That is a wonderful picture to print out and keep handy for those days when things aren’t as rosy as you’d like. It’ll sure brighten my day… nah, it’s going to brighten my week!
Thanks AKM & ChiCat for the great start for today.
oops. sorry about the extended italics. My bad.
Nan
Wow, is it Christmas morning already? Thanks, Fox, it’s just what I wanted! And NY 23, it’s even more than I hoped for. How’s your morning going, S’carah???
do you think palin will show up guns-a-blazin’ against Fox like she did Letterman? …or the media, in general? …or the bloggers? …or dot dot dot
Thanks Paula … call made! And to Sarah and Meg: please, please come to Huntsville, AL. We are small, your best friend forever with whom you are supposed to dine now (bought and paid) lives here; I have an “in” at the new large Barnes and Noble and I’d just love to see you! Please.
I have so wanted her to go away – until now. Bill Owens won, thanks to Palin’s meddling. Hey, Sarah, stick around! You are doing a fantastic job for the Democratic Party!
I would like to read the comments at faux but I went to the main page at fauxnews & didn’t see it. Where is it? I was at bree’s and she had a link to winky’s fb, there were insulting comments on it. That was cool to see, I thought everything was moderated there…
On Show Biz tonight on Head Line News said that Levi Johnston is one of the most toxic bachelor in Hollywood. #1 on the list was Jon Gosslin. They said Levi was cute until he opens his mouth and that he would do anything for money, which makes him toxic.
Here’s John Cleese on Sarah Palin and Fox News – I saw this during Election ’08 and couldn’t have agreed more with his assessment.
I thought this was as relevant now as it was then =) Plus – I heart John Cleese =)

My fave line on Palin’s election run: “Monty Python could have written this”. Indeed.
This is funny…I love the Palin references….here are the highlights, but there is another funny about Limbaugh at the end…..Chris Kelly’s writing style reminds of AKM’s
Doug Hoffman lost his election last night. He was supported by a plurality of talk radio entertainers, and a majority of former half-term governors of Alaska, but it wasn’t enough. An obscure quirk of constitutional law says you also need votes from voters. This is the same cruel hurdle that tripped up three of his other biggest supporters, Gary Bauer, Fred Thompson and Rudy Giuliani, all of whom ran for President of the United States, but failed the “getting votes” test, because everyone hates their guts.
Doug Hoffman didn’t just have money to burn and the staunch support of Facebooking frost bunnies, Fox News and the Ghosts of Vanity Campaigns Past. He also had coots on the ground; an army of volunteers from the tea bag movement, the 9/12 Project and the fanatic anti-choice fringe. The problem was, they could shout at the polling places as loud as they wanted, and they did, but they didn’t live there, so they weren’t allowed to vote.

I loved this line from the article:
“……and a majority of former half-term governors of Alaska”
hahahahhaa
Wow, it’s “Owen, Baby, Owen”, hear that Scarah? thank you darlin. Keep up the good work. Carry on.
Maybe someone at Fox had a side item from Pie Spy – a slice of “Tell the Truth Tart”.
Funny comment from Wonkette below. Also too, sad truth in it.
You know, it’s really strange but I just checked the pages of Drudge, Washington Times, and Fox News and there is no mention whatsoever of Hoffman.
The past week you’d think he was Jesus standing on a street corner eating Life Savors or something.
Someone at huffpo had this to say—
Sarah Palin, the campaign kil la’ from Wasi la’.
Hilarous.
HEY!!!!!!!!
Quote for the Day on Andrew Sullivan’s Daily Dish is our own AKM!!
Way to go, AKM! You are the best!
HEY!!!!!!
The CA special Congressional election was to fill Ellen Teusher’s seat because she joined Obama’s admin. She was the first Dem elected in this district in a long time. The winner, John Garamendi, is a progressive who had been elected as Lt. gov to Arnie. He easily won victory so this is just one more formerly red district that has turned blue in recent years.
I’ve hoped he would run for governor ever since he was Insurance Commissioner and totally reformed auto insurance in a very good way. He’s very smart and talented and will make a great addition to the Progressive Caucus.
His background in regulating insurance companies will also come in very handy in getting a handle on health insurance reform. I expect that Nancy will have him hit the ground running on the current bills and further legislation to fix the mess. Go John!
So Fox caught its mistake after nearly 24 hours and a slew of screaming comments from “head’s a poppin ” wingnuts. Darn ! Oh well, we’ve got a screen capture to remember it by. ( Sorry Z’yggy ! )
Here’s a fun (and short) test of your knowledge of wingnut current events. Take the test and make a few cents for a lefty org ( right now it’s Buzz Flash) and you can get a free bumper sticker, too! It reads: OMG GOP WTF ! Can’t wait to get mine!

Martha……..my thoughts are that Rupert Murdoch just can’t get the majority of American voters on board his crazy boat to elect who he’d like in our government. It tells me, America is more awake than I thought. Thank goodness!
It’s a good day, relax a little, let’s turn our attention to supporting our President and forget miss insignificant for a while, we deserve a break.
She’s such a joy buster, a downer, she kills the party, in more ways than one. I wonder if all those folks who poured money, time, emotion and energy into this effort to back Hoffman are more than disappointed. I hope they go home depressed and defeated, feeling small like she was after the Presidential election. Do they feel let down by their God, who allowed the right person to win? Another God door slammed in Scarah’s face.
FACT: the elections yesterday 8 Democrats, 2 Republicans and 1 Independent.
This Hoffman pick of S’arah’s kind of reminds me of her pick for Alaska’s attorney general that was first time ever to be rejected by a governor of Alaska. Remember W.A.R. She really knows how to pick em. LOL
this is a good day, people. I’m thinking that S’arah must be just about to blow a gasket…. there will be oil everywhere.
*having added an apostrophe to my name… makes me feel i’mportant.*
Trisha, I noticed that too while listening to the morning news, not one mention of it, lol. Perhaps they’re trying to ignor anything to do with Scarah. No extra media attention for her or her crazy tea baggers. Fine with me.
Although, it’s remarkable that he’s the first Dem elected since the Civil War, lol, you’d think they’d want to make note of that, but then they’d have to go into the why’s that made it happen which would bring her into the media.
Just think of all the money the GOP and Scarah cult groups poured into the economy, thank you guys!
AussieGal, yeppers, I love how he laughs out loud when asked what he thinks of Scarah, the proceeds to compare her to a parrot, lol and wonders how in the world people don’t see it.
Over at pee land there is spin on NY-23 . They are saying that Owen’s win put a Democrat in the seat for the first time since 1993 ( not 117 years as has been previously reported) They got that information from hotair

Even Michael Steele borrowed a spine and admonished Palin and Pawlenty for screwing up NY 23. Wingnut v. Doofus beat down. Popcorn, please.
It will also be interesting to see which of the Fox hatemongers will accept Palin’s demand that they “interview” her. Call me old fashioned, but wasn’t there a time when the host invited the guest?

So, will poor Scarah suck it up and post a facebook response to Clinton’s statement on the Israeli settlement issue. The Evangelicals are big on backing Israel, it’s part of their end time bs. I’m sure John Hagee will have some scorn for her and our government.
More fact checking from FAUX NEWS:
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2009/11/4/800500/-Kinda-like-a-Chyron-slip
In the video, a Fox anchor claims that not only was Dede Scozzafava “stepping aside is what’s best for the party,” but that she’s “putting her support behind conservative candidate Matt Hoffman.”
Uh, that would be Doug Hoffman. And she endorsed the Democrat, Bill Owens.
Nice try, though, Foxers!

So funny! Thanks for capturing this bit of the Quitter’s history and another Pox News mistake. Today when I opened my newspaper I found a full page, colored ad for “Going Rogue.” For ONLY $4.97 you receive the book, free four-month trial subscription to Newsmax magazine, AND, drumroll please, a bonus of Newmax’s recent special report, “Sarah Palin and the Newer Feminism.” I gagged and then childishly made the Quitter look like the devil.

You KNOW that subject will come up.
Update from Canada
US mainstream media is a safe place for conservatives to tune in. Last week our (can’t find an adjective) Prime Minister Harper said he watches American news because Canadians say bad things about him.
And Vancouver Olympics:
The torch came to the BC capital a couple of days ago, to start a loop around Canada. In 1988 Calgary hosted the winter olympics. I took home a flame from the torch and it warmed the water in my gas heater for 8 years. Calgary lost some money. Not the same here in BC. The original approved net cost was 1.75 billion, which has climbed to nearly 6 billion. I’ve heard higher -as much as $4000 per BC person. Security cost was budgeted for 175 million and is now almost 1 billion.

Are you sure you want this, Chicago?
Andrew Sullivan, from Daily Dish has a ‘ two-fer’ today with his ” Quote of the Day “. As was mentioned before he gives a H/T to AKM for the
” Republican Upside-Down Cake Recipe ” and his second one he shows the hypocrisy of Sarah’s announcement of her upcoming Book Tour she made on FB.
“Variety! They are all Palinites, apart from Barbara – and she’s a celebrity interviewer.
Where are the journalists actually asking questions? Should I put in a request? ”

Is The Tea Party Over?
The tea partiers are launching the revolution. This week. But will anyone actually show up?
On Sunday, Rep. Michele Bachmann challenged viewers of Sean Hannity’s Fox News show to join her last-ditch attempt to kill health care reform.
The fiery Minnesota Republican plans to hold a press conference at “high noon” on Thursday.
She urged Americans to flood the halls of Congress that day, find their elected officials, “look at the whites of their eyes and tell them, ‘don’t you dare take away my health care.’”
Since then, so-called tea party patriots have been burning up the Internets trying to rally supporters to attend Bachmann’s event. But so far, their efforts haven’t amounted to much. The official Tea Party Patriots website laments that Bachmann’s rally is being stymied by a “media blackout”—meaning that mainstream outlets like the New York Times and the Washington Post have ignored it.

Say No to Palin: I wondered for a long time as well why people could be so willingly blind when it came to Palin. I still don’t have a very good answer! All I can is that for some people – denial and fantasty are much better than truth and reality. Facing reality and telling the truth would be quite devastating to some folks’ self view.

It would be easy to read too much into the few statewide races that were decided last night, but I think it’s fair to say that the results in New Jersey and Virginia, where Republican gubernatorial candidates won–in New Jersey’s case knocking off a well-funded Democratic incumbent–that the results were a blow to the Barack Obama/Rahm Emanuel strategy of playing to the right, of avoiding confrontation in Congress and of ignoring the progressive voters whose enthusiasm and effort back in the 2008 campaign put Obama in office.
Exit polls showed that many Obama voters sat out this election in New Jersey and Virginia, with turnout low in both races. In part that was because of local conditions, of course. In Virginia, Democrat R. Creigh Deeds ran as a conservative, and was attacked by the Republican candidate, former state attorney general Robert McDonnell, as a tax-happy liberal. With liberal voters in Virginia unenthusiastic about Deeds, and Republicans revved up, the loss was a foregone conclusion, even with Obama making two visits to campaign for Deeds, and with the national Democratic Party pumping in $6 million in campaign funding.
In New Jersey, incumbent Democrat John Corzine was wildly unpopular for raising taxes, so that even with Democrats holding an almost 2:1 registration advantage in the state (half of all voters are unaffiliated), he too had no enthusiastic backing from his former base. No amount of money poured in by the former Goldman Sachs chief executive could overcome the negative views of his record as governor.
But despite the lackluster candidates in both Virginia and New Jersey, I think it’s safe to say that there was also clear evidence that the losses, and the margins of the losses—huge in Virginia’s case, and significant in normally safely Democratic New Jersey—provide evidence that the Obama presidency, and the prevailing Democratic strategy of minimalist legislative initiatives on health care reform, global warming etc., expanded and unending war in Afghanistan, support for Wall Street and neglect of the one-in-five Americans who are unemployed or underemployed, are a political disaster in the making for Democrats in general and Obama in particular.
The president came into office on a wave of populist enthusiasm and high expectations for the “change” candidate Obama promised. No change has been forthcoming now for over nine months, and with the president now past the first-year anniversary of his historic election victory, the latest election results suggest that his presidency could already be headed for the rocks.
2010 is an election year that will see all seats in the House, and a third of the seats in the Senate up for grabs. Typically, a president’s party loses seats in that election even when things are going well. When things are not going well, the losses can be significant.
Obama had a chance, coming into Washington after a big rout of Republicans last year, to set out an agenda of major progressive change. He could have called for expanding Medicare to cover all Americans. Instead he handed health reform over to Congress and immediately put out the word that he was open to compromise with Republicans, thus dooming reform from the outset. He could have announced a thorough review of America’s two wars, and then set in motion a withdrawal form both Iraq and Afghanistan. Instead he dithered on Iraq, and added troops in Afghanistan, assuring that both these disasters inherited from the Bush/Cheney administration became his own disasters, which will now drag on through his whole term. He could have declared a global climate emergency, and announced a job-creating crash program to develop renewable energy in the US and to make the US a leader in renewable energy R&D. Instead, he did almost nothing in this critical area. As for the economic crisis, he could have taken a progressive stand against the abuses of Wall Street, ordered a criminal investigation of the banking class, broken up the big banks and established a new regulatory system to put an end to the era of casino capitalism. Instead, he put the bankers in charge of Treasury and poured trillions of dollars into the largest banks, allowing them to grow even bigger and more predatory.
Voters, their collective assets shrunken over the year by $14 trillion, understandably are left wondering how, aside from better verbal skills, this president differs from the last one. As for the Democratic Congress, with Democrats pretending that nothing can be done unless they have not just 60 seats in Congress, but perhaps 70 or 75 (enough to be able to survive the inevitable defection of conservative members of the party), they can’t do anything of consequence—a claim that only is true if, as is the case, the party’s leadership and the president are unwilling to punish those who break rank.
If Democratic and progressive independent voters feel the same way about Obama and the Democratic Congress next fall, it will be curtains for the Democrats and for Obama’s presidency, such as it is.
And you know what? It won’t matter much if that happens, because what we’re seeing is that having Obama in the White House, and Democrats “in control” of Congress doesn’t get you much in the way of progressive change.

Never mind my previous post about Clinton/Isreal, after I got into the details, I realized it’s something Scarah would applaud.
But this from Halcro…….about Bailey’s upcoming book. I get the feeling Bailey may not have appreciated be the fall guy in troopergate. Andrew is thinking the well documented details will include emails, phone records, memos, dates, places, “details, baby, details”. Popcorn time!
http://www.andrewhalcro.com/coming_monday_baileys_on_the_rocks
“During my conversation with her last Monday, she offered up answers to two questions that I had written about both during the 2006 gubernatorial campaign and during the Troopergate investigation to show how serious Bailey was about revealing everything.
The first question had to do with the 2006 gubernatorial campaign. During the final month of the campaign, the Republican Governor’s Association began running ads in support of Palin. According to federal law, third party ads are permissible if the group has no contact or direct coordination with the candidate.”
[......]
“Three years later we get our answer from Palin’s campaign manager Frank Bailey.
Was the commercial staged?
Was there direct coordination with the RGA in violation of federal laws?
Yes.”
Hey Ryan H…….it’s against forum rules to post whole articles.
Meede! wow, whose selling her body now? Scarah’s best pageant friend. Scarah, is there something you’re not telling us? hmmmm? did you do some posing too? Like Dr. Laura Schleshinger? who went all prude and right wing evangelical judging people….then oops, the pictures show up.
Carri P has really big hands, lol.
This was a memorable week for $arah for all the wrong reasons.
She created history in NY-23. ( Nobody else had done THAT )
She may have created an Investigation of her PAC with the ‘ maybe ‘ Illegal robo-calls.
Her ” Pox Friends ” are promoting the rebuttal book to Sarah’s… using her name.
And from a News story on Huffpo ( through TMZ ) another one of her Friends, Carrie Pre-Judge is not as Pure as she professes. She was sueing the CA Pageant people for a Million dollars but dropped the case. Hmmm…Why…?
Well… a certain videotape surfaced… Oops..!!
“We’re told it took about 15 seconds for Carrie to jettison her demand and essentially walk away with nothing. ”

With Sarah’s connection with those ‘ Candies ‘ people maybe Carrie can do some Advertising in their next commercials. Carrie seems to have added to her resume some ‘ experience ‘ in front of cameras.
How about a FaceBook Note of support?

Hey Star, I don’t know, greta is one of the chosen ones for her “throw everybody under the bus” book tour interviews. There’s a story about winky’s going rouge book tour at adn but you can’t post comments. I don’t know if it’s a glitch or if adn doesn’t want to get plagued with palinistas. As I suspected the wack-a-doodles are acting like winning nj & va governorships is the news of the day and ignoring the NY23 loss. That’s cool, we gained another seat in the house, they gained a sexist pig in va and someone with mafia ties in jersey that have absolutely no say in national issues. The mikey steele confrontation with Lawrence O’Donnell clip at huffpo from morning joe is worth watching. It kind of embarrasses me to watch steele, it’s kind of like seeing someone you don’t even know fall down on the street, you feel yourself practically blushing for them…
Jon Stewart sums up the media hype leading up to the election in a very funny way. Watch for a good laugh, it’s comical.
BTW……Happy Election Anniversary Mudpuppies! Yes we did! one year ago today, wow time flies.

curiouser @94 – Dang – that’s quite a list of “Not Allowed!” items. Reminds me of …o, I dunno…. something a communist ruler might demand ? For gawdz sake, she’s supposed to the voice of a new America ! A maverick!! A Patriot! She’s BOLD! (but , sorry, the actual words coming from her mouth cannot be recorded in any shape, way or form). I suppose they’ll have those “Men In Black” memory erasers being used at the exit doors.
Didn’t see this posted yet so I’m tossing it out there. Seems Oscar from Sesame Street was doing a gig as a Pox News reporter on a recent episode and it didn’t sit well with a Mom who has extreme right leanings.

jc~bwa-ha haha, yeppers steele is a real piece of work..just gotta love $arah it would be a truly dull day without her showing how really ignorant she is.
Hey Mudpups!
Saw this great article today via Firedoglake – http://seminal.firedoglake.com/diary/12726
It reminded me of some of AKM’s posts – when you read it, you will see what I mean.
The problem with Sarah Palin is that she has well and truly bought into her own spin. She honest to goodness believe she is a superstar and whenever she waves a magic wand (or stamps her feet) – things WILL happen. Trouble is, things do happen, but rarely in the way she envisioned.
This article brings together perfectly the reasons why Palin will not succeed in dividing people every time she sticks her nose where it doesn’t belong. It’s telling that she learnt nothing from her time in Alaska of alienating everyone but the staunchest (and most deluded) Palin-ite, burning her bridges, throwing people from both sides of the aisle under the bus, lying every moment she opens her mouth and when all else failed, bulldozing her way thru.
Palin paints herself as a maverick. She doesn’t seem to realise that there are actual people in this country who really possess a fiercely independent streak. No matter their political leanings, Sarah Palin would do well to learn and remember that people do not like it when outsiders swoop in and try to takeover.
A snippet:
“When you live in a place where 7 feet of snow falling in a g**-damn week is a fairly regular occurrence, where you have to depend on your neighbors to plow you out and dig out your second floor windows, and anyone caught with engine trouble in the middle of the night between December and March could freeze to death if they tried to walk home alone…when the major economic engine of the place is either power (up in Gouverneur) or the military (Fort Drum), to have someone as ignorant as Hoffman being inserted into the community conversation sort of..sticks in your craw.”
“Inserted”? Oh you’re too kind. I think “rammed” or “foisted upon” or “shoved” describes what Palin tried to do here with her endorsement of Hoffman.
jc in co:
I totally agree. Steele regularly makes a buffoon out of himself (no offense to buffoons…) both on and off the camera!
You know what I wonder sometimes? Do the blatantly dishonest and patently incompetent ever have a brief shining moment of clarity and think “Wow, I am COMPLETELY full of crap”??
They might – but it’s only seconds before the Darkness resumes…..!
CNN has a quote from Queen Hester here:
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/11/04/palin-ny-23-race-just-postponed-until-2010/
It’s obvious that the intent was not to get Hoffman into NY-23 so much as to prevent Scozzafava from winning the seat.
So much for supporting other women in the Reckpublican Party….Sarah the Mysoginist is shining through.
It’s just about dinner time in Buffalo and I’m waiting for some potato/bean soup to cook down. I’m heading up to the chat/treehouse for about 1/2 an hour if anyone wants to share stories about election night.

Happy dance for all of those New Yorkers who joined hands with Alaskans and slammed their screen doors shut on Palin’s behind, also too!

BigSlick – yeh you know, it must be great to be wingnut. EVERY failure can be success if you wish hard enough and spin hard enough!
Yeh I can see the brain storming at Team Sarah HQ – “Hmm…..we just doubled down on Hoffman, recorded a robocall for him, ignited a brush fire of conservatives trashing Scozzafava and generally stirred up the base to a frenzy not seen since the good ol’ days of “pallin’ around with terrorists”! Result? NY-23rd now has a Democratic rep after 159 years of being a Republican seat. *crickets* VICTORY!! U-S-A! U-S-A!! U-S-A!!! WOO HOO!! WE WON!! *crickets* Ok, fine, we won A MORAL VICTORY!! YAY TEABAGGERS!!”
It boggles the mind, doesn’t it?
SKJ, just read your comment, Scarah wanted in the game at the last minute, stole the ball and threw it to the basket in the wrong direction, scoring the winning points for the opposite team. Love it! lol. (paraphrasing what you said)
I also heard a blip from Rushbo, he tried saying this didn’t hurt Scarah one little bit, only he sure didn’t sound very convincing, no enthusiasm there.
So, the humiliation begins, has Newt said anything yet? Can you imagine next Sunday talking heads going over this? lol. Oh, the blame goes to who? SCARAH!
She bravely in her mavericky rogue way took charge, leading the army to……. epic failure, defeat, crap that wasn’t supposed to happen. Did she misread her message from God? God let her down again! The shame, where is her mantle, her cloak? Maybe she has some confessing to do, cleanse her soul of wrong doings, her sins are blocking Gods blessings.
Forgot to add: I am still appalled at Rush’s comments about Dede and bestiality. I thought nothing that awful man said could surprise me but he outdid his disgusting self with this latest.
How anyone can associate with such a vulgar, crass, sexist lying pile of waste as Limbaugh is beyond my understanding.
Say No to Palin: I really love it when I see “Sarah Palin” and “Epic Failure” in the same sentence =)
It’s like peanut butter and jelly, apple and pie, Brian and Moose and my personal fave hot chocolate and marshmellows =)
102 honestyinGov – I wonder if Kirk meets Sarah’s religious wingnuttery test. I’ll be interested to see if she agrees to endorse him for his primary. And if he wins the primary, will he ditch her during the election?
104 SNTPIP – Happy Election Anniversary to you! To all! Palin’s almost daily antics are additional reminders of just how fortunate we are.
105 BuffaloGal – Men in Black memory erasers – good one!
Thanks for the Sesame Street story link and the laugh. If I understood the story, Oscar is also a reporter for GNN Grouchy News but they’re only complaining about his Pox Trashing News gig. Sheesh!
Couple things from around the web re”throw everybody under the bus” book interview tour. From wonkette, “palin being interviewed by glenn beck is like using your mom as a reference on your resume, only less crying.”
From huffpo, regarding list of who she hopes to do interviews with (primarily faux) “What a relief. I can watch my regular shows and hopefully never see her
talking about her ghost written book.”

Gee, I wonder how the GOP feels about her strategery to get a Democrat elected to a seat they have held for 150 years.
Plus, it makes no sense. If the intent was to make sure that Scozzafava didn’t win because she is a moderate and not anti-choice or isn’t anti-gay, how much sense does it make to get a Democrat elected? Did she think the Democrat would be more conservative than a moderate Republican?
Or, is her intent purely to purge the Party? If so, the GOP really has a problem.
That quote reminds me of a child who falls off a swingset and stands up and proclaims….I meant to to that, while blood trickles down their leg.
Really?

______
All that money, all that drama, all that activity of bussing people in to heckle voters, all that noise from Beck and Rush…..and SP’s movement lost! So, again, what formidable sway does she hold on the conservative movement? But hey, if he wants her help…bring it on!
For the most part, the comments are NOT kind to Scarah over at that CNN piece.
I suspect that the real story here is the battle for the Republican “soul”. Sarah and company would rather have a Democrat win (temporarily) than a moderate Republican. Remember that seat will be back up next year when all of the House of Representatives face re-election. Unfortunately, Sarah appears to be making some headway in that people like the Senate Minority Leader and the RNC jumped on board for Hoffman instead of denouncing the tactics of the “conservative” wing.
There’s an interesting analysis in a Mother Jones article where Palin’s position is given a new name–at least one I’ve not heard before:
“Perhaps Palin does intend to keep her position as cannibal-in-chief. If not, she runs the risk of disappointing the true believers she inspired in the fight for NY-23. Alienating her fellow RINO poachers could cause serious difficulties for Palin in a presidential campaign—and leave an opening for other contenders to fill. “This is tricky stuff,” says a senior Republican strategist allied with another possible 2012 GOP presidential candidate. “She could be walking right into a breach.”"

#121 Trisha, no they aren’t very kind but extremely accurate, thanks for the tip. I only hope one of winky’s minions scours all the blogs and is reading those comments. I guess she’s far too delusional to understand that she could possibly be one of the most reviled people in the history of the US. If you really think about it can you think of anyone in your lifetime that has as many horrible things said or printed about from both sides of the fence? I think she far surpasses W and tricky dick. I think for the sake of her family she should give up her twisted ambitions and drop out of sight. I can’t believe she would even want to be out in public anymore.
Well, that can’t blame it on not using spell check…
Since this is an open thread. Wanted to report an article by Andrew Halcro on Bailey’s book.
http://www.andrewhalcro.com/coming_monday_baileys_on_the_rocks
Oh my gosh, the trolls over at Huffpo just got me steaming. They are saying that, for an unknown third party candidate to get 45% of the vote was amazing and that Palin rocks.
Really? For all that money, attention, right wing celebrity radio plugs, national conservative leaders doing ads, bussing in supporters,etc…..it sure seems like they really didn’t get a bang for their buck. Owen’s wasn’t getting free national radio and TV plugs every day…..and he won!
One said, what’s the big deal, he got 45% of the vote…why are all you libs bragging? No joke. The kind huffpo readers had to gently explain to him that right now, Hoffman has 0 votes in Congress, because he LOST. A small point that seems to have slipped out of their tiny pea brains.
I just have to share with you all this comment I seen at another sight. Warning do not be taking a drink when you read.
I was hoping we had heard the last of Sarah and the Wasilla Chillbillies but I guess she’s a bit like herpes…we got ‘er for life!
when did “Conservative” become an official political party? …like Democratic, Republican, Independant, Libertarian…as in the case of how Doug Hoffman ran in NY. Does that mean that anybody can jump in and run as, ahhh, Catholic Party, Fundamentalist Party, Methodist Party, Mormon Party??? …palin, party of one?
Geoff Dunn has just posted another good one on HuffPost:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/geoffrey-dunn/palins-bob-mark-show-sham_b_346345.html
He makes mention of her prior appearance on the Bob & Mark show when she giggled at their obnoxious comments regarding Leda Green and her cancer, etc.
#127 Trisha, I saw that, it p*ssed me off too. But let’s put things in perspective, a dem hasn’t won that district in over 150 years. There are tons of fringey repubs in that district and yet Owens got over half the vote. Tea party types are prevalent but winky & armey’s choice lost. Yes, it’s always mind boggling that so many wingnuts live among us. To be honest I was surprised hoffman lost, hubby is from western NY and he was more surprised than me. He swears his family would have voted for hoffman and never would have considered voting for a democrat.
And here I was, still tickled about the 23rd district Owens win, listening to the radio on the way home from work. And then the news came on.
Ohhhhhhhhhhh noooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She’s coming here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Quittypants will be in Rochester on November 21st. Unfortunately, while the city is reliably blue (just re-elected the Dem mayor who ran unopposed)
but many of the suburbs and more rural areas of the county tend to be on the red side.
Note to self: stay well away from Henrietta and all surrounding regions on that day. Contamination has been recorded in areas within several miles of the Toxic Attitude Zone.
Hey BuffaloGal…is she bringing her little LieFest to Buffalo too?
aussiegal77 maybe because Rusho practices bestiality himself he thinks others do
OK, #1 story on Countdown with Keith Olberman tonight is hysterical!!!
“Video” of Sarah’s concession speech…..
(must wipe eyes….)
and there’s the “victory speech”
bwahahahaaa!!!!!!!!
Oh, my favorite Fox News moment is:
Hurricane Katrina (D)
Palin and her deluded fans can spin the conservative loss in NY-23 race any way they please but all their rationalizations sound weak.
If Palin and the teabaggers can’t win in a Red District with 150 years of GOP representation, a million dollars plus in campaign funds, the endorsements of most of the conservative talking heads and leaders, and the withdrawal of the only other GOP candidate…….then it’s a darn big loss.
Giddy with her own self-importance when VP Biden mentioned the fallacy of Palin’s energy policies in his campaign stump for Owens, Palin was so certain of her “victory” in NY-23 that she laid down Hoffman as her sacrificial gauntlet by taunting “Hoffman, baby, Hoffman” as a response to Biden
No doubt about it……Palin has egg on her face. Her vaunted “influence” didn’t carry the day….instead her interference delivered an unexpected congressional seat to the Dems.
Egged, baby, egged……and everyone knows it.
@Lee323….well said! now somebody needs to explain this to palin via dick & jane…very simply and slowly
Is it time for the sock puppet show to explain to Palin that she LOST?
