Open Thread – Twelve Days of Christmas (Day 8)
21 12 2009On the Eighth Day of Christmas,
My Ex-Gov…
You know… I’m sorry… I just need to stop here for a moment. This has been really great, and I love coming up with these verses every night, really I do. But to be honest I think the best thing I can do now that I’m 2/3 of the way through this song – the best thing for YOU, my dear Mudflatters, since I know I’m not going to be going on after Day 12, is to just quit now.
And besides, I got this nasty email that called me a bad name, and I’m spending all my time thinking about it, and I just can’t get anything done.
Anybody who knows me will know that I’m really doing this for you.
And because I just feel like it.
Just kidding! I couldn’t resist.
OK, back to the business at hand.
Twelve days you were promised, and twelve days you shall get.
(clears throat)

I was just browsing over what Lynnrockets had just posted.
Paula had mentioned earlier about the Star Wars re-write to that song.
Lynnrockets has a little ditty sung to the tune of ” Here comes Santa Claus”
I give it a thumbs-up
(First stanza )
Here comes Sarah P., Here comes Sarah P.
Basking in her fame
No education, a fool without peer
Could she be more lame?
You can check out the rest.

Night all.

Lots of push back in the comments on the Juneau Empire article about Palin’s lie about gang rape threats against her daughters- which she never reported to anyone, police, school or AK state troopers.
Will someone in AK please get the net and the straight jacket and restrain this crazy woman before someone gets hurt?
December 21st, 2009 at 3:46 PM
Here’s to Frankensense and Mirth (AKM a quitter–hahahahahahahahaha)!
Happy Solstice all. It was bright and shiny in the slough for a few hours today.
Those of you above the Arctic Circle, hang in there!
December 21st, 2009 at 3:47 PM
ALSO…. from Lynnrockets blog I came across this little ‘ moose nugget ‘.
Seems like S’error’s Gal-Pal is having problems with the hired help…. Again.
(Awww….. I guess they are afraid of being ‘ tainted ‘… with something that smells…? )

“BREAKING NEWS: The website cqpolitics.com reports that moonbat-crazy Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann has suffered another defection. The Gula Graham Group, a Republican fundraising and consulting firm, ended their three-year relationship with Bachmann last week, GOP sources with knowledge of the firm’s decision said Wednesday. “I can confirm that the Gula Graham Group no longer works for Congresswoman Bachmann,” Mike Gula said. “We chose to go in a different direction.” The firm’s departure comes less than two months after Bachmann’s chief of staff, Michelle Marston, left the office. Marston was Bachmann’s third chief of staff in as many years. Meanwhile casting is still underway for the Michele Bachmann bio-pic titled, “One More Flew From The Cuckoo’s Nest.” “

AKM-you are the queen of hearts!
You had me worried for about 2 nano seconds.
Never in a million ions, laughing here, would you be a quitter.
To all you great bloggers- have a safe and wonderful Christmas.

Speaking of bat-s^*t Bachmann , wonder what sarah thinks about this. Take more than a Sharpie to make an “adjustment”.

AKM, I would like to fall back on that old “sticks and stones” routine, but I don’t think that it works with grownups. I imagine that getting call rude names goes with the territory of blogging. Your best “I know how you feel” remarks come from your other Alaska bloggers, because they have also been on the receiving end of some pretty nasty stuff.
In the spirit of the season, I would like to offer praise and virtual hugs for the well-written, clever, entertaining, humors, thoughtful posts. Wrap yourself in your beautiful quilt and know that you are loved and appreciated.
As for Sarah’s fans, some of them are capable of saying the most hateful things because they just are not capable of rational thought. On an unnamed blog, one of her writers called Al Gore the Bernie Madoff of the environment. Absurd! At IM, someone wants to install some of Sarah’s children in the White House and send the trash back to the Ghetto. Racist and wrong wrong wrong. Sarah’s followers are exactly that because they are not able to think, write or express themselves, or they would not be following her. I can’t bear to listen to the screaming T-baggers, anyone on Fox News, and I can’t bear to read the pro-Sarah comments because I can’t imagine that people choose to be that ignorant and hateful.
But then, some of them end up in Congress in Washington DC. Yesterday, some Republican senator actually offered a prayer that (Senator Byrd) anyone who wasn’t present wouldn’t be able to make it to the Capitol for the vote. How mean do they have to be before they lose all humanity? And, especially at the time of year when we are supposed to be exchanging warm greetings to each other. Rant over, please enjoy Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!

Yes, Where is Meg Stapleton, and Greta Van Susternen?
Haven’t heard a word – unless I haven’t paid enough attention.
Happy Solstice to All!! Get some sleep, the long daylight hours are on their way!! O Joy!

Interesting. I’m not sure I get it.

Book Review: Going Rouge: Sarah Palin – An American Nightmare by Richard Kim and Betsey Reed
bring this up because it is such a perfect example of the sanctimony of the left, which translates into a total loss of credibility for the editors. You cannot even get through the introduction to the book without them shooting themselves in the foot. Yes, Richard Kim and Betsey Reed, we believe that your punning title was purely coincidental. You bet.
How lame can you get? Denying your own little jab at Palin. Take a lesson from W, or Sarah herself for goodness sakes. Go for the kill! Ruthlessness at all costs are what politics are about, or have you not learned that by now?
…
Whether you agree or not with the sentiment, the book is an excellent representation of an angry left-wing. Love her or hate her, Sarah Palin is now a fixture in American politics, and will remain that way for some time I believe. Going Rouge attempts to tear down the myth, and is worth reading if for no other reason than to see what the Democrat’s fury at her looks like in full bloom.
Ignore the chickenshit Introduction, this is a group of pissed-off Lefties who have somehow mustered the nerve to tell it like it is.
Merry Christmas, Sarah.

Palin’s alleged threats against her girls seems a pretty good match for her long-after-the-fact claim that she felt threatened by ex-BiL Trooper Mike Wooten – a “threat” she mentioned to no one while she dismissed her security detail and continued to drive herself to work – Alone. It’s just real hard to estimate whether her dishonesty exceeds her intellectual malpractice or vice versa.
December 21st, 2009 at 4:51 PM
I didn’t hear anything about threats to her girls. All kidding aside I hope that isn’t real. But if she made that up she should be ashamed of herself. Also aren’t her older girls party girls.
December 21st, 2009 at 4:58 PM
Countdown is doing the year in Sarah!
Tune in if you can.
December 21st, 2009 at 5:03 PM
#112 Desert Mudpup I agree with your post, but must make a fine distinction- “intellectual malpractice” would actually require one to use (actully misuse )one’s intellect , and that is way beyond the Queen of Mean. And yes, her dishonesty greatly outweigh her vey modest intellect.
December 21st, 2009 at 5:10 PM
Oops, can I buy an “r” for very? Perhaps a freudian slip, as Sarah makes me say “oy vey”- and I’m not Jewish! Happy Holidays to all you mudpups from CO.

When McCain nervously laughs like this, it is SO apparent he does NOT want to talk about Scarah, period, like, don’t go there cuz I’m afraid it will show my how stupid my choice was.
Yet I imagine the behind the scene jokes going on in the halls of congress, about her amongst politicians. Can you imagine the raz McCain gets every time Scarah does something stupid? every time, all the time, lol…she makes for good hallway humor.
And in the end she’s put in the tabloid category by a fox news guy….. ouch

December 21st, 2009 at 6:21 PM
So political businesses and associates are abandoning M. Bachman left and right eh? oh, not looking so good for Scarahs brand.
December 21st, 2009 at 6:48 PM
awe, but Fake news makes up for categorizing Scarah with Tiger in the tabloid category with a warm fuzzy Christmas piece from the book tour.
But, now she’s gonna have to follow through on those Palin family traditions……gramma’s house on Christmas eve, (I think it’s great gramma on Toad’s side?) and yesiree, get your rear to church Scarah, no matter how many Sunday’s you’ve missed during the year, candle light service, it’s tradition!
and you bess do the Wasilla Community Christmas dinner too helping those less fortunate or nowhere to go, I’m guessing at the Curt Mernard Sports Arena? Just like ya said, no excuses now.
And don’t disappoint Piper, make those gingerbread cookies, you mamma, not gramma, k? in fact, lets see you making those cookies, from scratch Scarah.
Piper looks like she was coached, this seems set up, poor Piper. Fox reporter mentioned they are doing a special Christmas eve on Fake news, please spare us anything Scarah.

The kind of “adjustment” both of these loons need has to be prescribed by a psychiatrist.

@119 – That reporter called her Governor Palin, not the first time she addressed her, but the second time, almost to the end of the segment…these Fox people…
December 21st, 2009 at 7:01 PM
And now # 1 on Countdown. It’s a lot to gack on.

on Countdown…2009 disparaging coverage of palin’s lunacy over the past 12 months, but little do they know that palin thinks it’s a real tribute…I wish MSNBC would’ve thought twice about any air time spent on her…we all “get it” and I laughed, but she’s in some weird all-about-me world and wouldn’t know a fact from a snow storm…AK reference.
however, she is still one scary b****

Going Rouge!!!!

Any parent who falsely claims their kid was raped is a parent who needs to find something else to do… and is a parent who scores very low in the “parenting skill” category.
December 21st, 2009 at 8:05 PM
Okay, so I think you should finally quit about 3/4 of the way through the eggnog. Or maybe, just after the 13th Day (that would be mavericky, eh?).
December 21st, 2009 at 8:18 PM
@122 austintx: I love the 3 seconds at the end where Keith says “In my mind, it’s really BAD”.
December 21st, 2009 at 8:41 PM
Check out the Schaeffer link 2nd to last thread at IM. It puts things in perspective.

At last, SP is getting all the attention she has been seeking. What a wonderful Christmas present she is receiving! She and Bacnman are running neck to neck! Yep!
