Planet Rot deeply conflicted

Tecs! You're wrecking the atmosphere!

Habe nun, ach! Philosophie, Juristerei und Medizin

Is she talking to me?

Planet Rot conflicted

Haunted by Monica Lewinsky jokes past?

Bit of a stretch... I remember some more recent ones.

Cumpendulous.

Marvelous mayhem.

Coulter opines on Palin

An FCP moment.

Planet Rot in all its glory

Rubbing it in: Levi is semi-famous because he happened to be the boyfriend who knocked up the daughter. But here's the rub. Gov. Palin trotted out Levi at the Republican convention and said he'd be marrying her daughter, all to present a nice family image for her debut as John McCain's running mate. Once you do that, you can't hide the kids behind a curtain. Mais non, mais non, says Mr Rot. Trot them out. What else do we have to do but listen to them?

Verbal diarrhea

My concern has been the atrocities there in Darfur and the relevance to me with that issue as we spoke about Africa and some of the countries there that were kind of the people succumbing to the dictators and the corruption of some collapsed governments on the continent, the relevance was Alaska’s investment in Darfur with some of our permanent fund dollars.

And, she concluded, “never, ever did I talk about, well, gee, is it a country or a continent, I just don’t know about this issue.”

It’s admittedly a rare gift to produce a paragraph in which whole clumps of words could be removed without noticeably affecting the sense, if any.

Palin makes the case for herself

Channeling JJ's argument why she's da best: "I don't think it's me personally, I think it's what I represent," Palin told reporters. "Everyday hardworking American families - a woman on the ticket perhaps represents that. It would be good for the ticket. It would be good for the party.

JJ Rove

Peggy and Sarah

She is a person of great ambition, but the question remains: What is the purpose of the ambition? She wants to rise, but what for? ... She is not as thoughtful or persuasive as Joe the Plumber, who in an extended cable interview Thursday made a better case for the Republican ticket than the Republican ticket has made. In the past two weeks she has spent her time throwing out tinny lines to crowds she doesn't, really, understand. This is not a leader, this is a follower, and she follows what she imagines is the base, which is in fact a vast and broken-hearted thing whose pain she cannot, actually, imagine. She could reinspire and reinspirit; she chooses merely to excite. She doesn't seem to understand the implications of her own thoughts. Rather sad.

The pittbull bitch backs off

Not without exhibiting her usual dose of provincialism:

Ms. Palin was by no means light on the Democratic candidate, but she shifted the focus of her attacks to Mr. Obama’s voting record on abortion, saying that he “hopes you won’t notice how radical his ideas are on this until it’s too late.”

Someone ought to tell her that there is nothing radical about free access to abortion: it's actually the norm in most of the developed world.

Catfight!

Bardot vs Palin. Pepe be the referee.

Blabbering nabobs of positivism

JJ's heartthrob expounds on economics: That's why I say I, like every American I'm speaking with, we're ill about this position that we have been put in where it is the taxpayers looking to bail out. But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health-care reform that is needed to help shore up our economy, helping the -- it's got to be all about job creation, too, shoring up our economy and putting it back on the right track. So health-care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions and tax relief for Americans. And trade, we've got to see trade as opportunity, not as a competitive, scary thing. But one in five jobs being created in the trade sector today, we've got to look at that as more opportunity. All those things under the umbrella of job creation. This bailout is a part of that.

Puritan Pussy and Biblical Boobs?

Apparently, within the article is a link to another blog entitled, "Christian Nymphos."

Pound the sand, slowly. Slowly.

couric / palin II

wonderful

Can she hack it?

She was the antithesis and nemesis of the hirsute, Birkenstock-wearing sisterhood. Youpie doo. Quick study or not, she doesn’t know enough about economics and foreign policy to make Americans comfortable with a President Palin should conditions warrant her promotion. You don't say. If BS were currency, Palin could bail out Wall Street herself. Do it, do it. Poignant.

Palin, feminism and nanny-statin'

When ideologues loose track of reality.
A fine woman you have running for veep.
