Memo to Ana Marie Cox: Stick to what you know, bitch
Is this stupid bitch serious?!?!?
Hey Ana, Get Keith Olbermann's Jizz off your face! What a JOKE!
I cannot claim to have completely read “Going Rogue” — I had to skim the last 150 pages (or more than one-third). I only got the thing into my hands late Monday afternoon with a deadline of early evening. It’s terrible, I know, but if I didn’t read it all, neither can Sarah Palin claim to have completely written it.
One of the few surprises of the book: For a frontierswoman, Palin really doesn’t like smokers — especially if they’re men working for John McCain. She describes the “jaded” “professional political caste” of the McCain campaign as “tumbling out of the bus in a pack, lighting cigarettes as they went so it looked like a walking cloud of smoke with legs,” and, later, she gets a nasty jab in at senior adviser Steve Schmidt, who, she says, “used nicotine to keep . . . his cognitive connections humming along.”
Her critique of the campaign’s strategy is about as sophisticated as her discussion of policy, and just as circumscribed by her own experience. When she was pregnant with daughter Piper, she says, she pondered anti-smoking laws when confronted by cigarette smoke in a restaurant: “Instead of supporting [a ban] . . . I just stopped going to the restaurant. It eventually went smoke-free on its own, which is the way things like that should work.”
A pregnant waitress unprotected by a smoking ban might feel differently, as might, say, a vice presidential candidate, were she surrounded by chain smokers in her place of work.
via Book World: Ana Marie Cox reviews Sarah Palin’s ‘Going Rogue’ – washingtonpost.com.
Translation? I did not read the book; so, I stuck together a rather snarky book review, while giving my husband a head job…. or something. I mean, I would expect this out of a blogger, like myself. But this stupid bitch gets paid MONEY to write lame ass articles like this! Unbelievable! Meanwhile, I sit here and can’t get a job anywhere. Something is terribly wrong with the world.
What really steams me about this; is the fact that this woman is only famous, because she got fired from a job; because of her unprofessional behavior and went on to start a D.C. gossip blog, that she sold, and made like a shitload of money on….and she writes shit like this and passes it off as professional writing. Good Grief. đ
Don’t get me wrong; I am not a Sarah Palin fan boy. In fact, I did not even vote for John McCain —- mainly because of Sarah Palin, and because of John McCain’s stupidity. But this is just fucking unacceptable. I’m sorry; you don’t even read a book and then write a stupid ass liberal snipe, disguised a fucking book review?!?! Seriously??!?!
It is no damned wonder that the Washington Post is possibly getting a “Bail Out” from the Government. Because who in their right mind — or otherwise, would even read anything like this and take anything away from it of substance?
Memo to General Motors: Good Going Douche Nozzles!
Ed Morrissey and I have not agreed much on G.M. and the status of the bail outs that they received from the Government. But it appears, that for a change, I agree with Ed; mark your calendars, because this does not happen often. Ed reports over on HotAir, that General Motors has taken the money, that was funded by taxpayers; like Ed, Me, and yes, you and has spent it —- overseas. Needless to say, there some lawmakers that are not very happy about it either.
Specifically, at a time when the nationâs unemployment rate has soared to levels not seen in decades and GM is cutting thousands of U.S. jobs, the companyâs CEO is considering spending millions from its U.S. coffers â fattened by $50 billion in taxpayer aid â on its overseas operations, a possibility that has outraged critics and lawmakers.
âI donât think most Americans believe that when the taxpayer bailouts were happening it was intended for that purpose,â said Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y. âIt was intended to protect the American economy â not take the money overseas.â
GMâs Chief Executive Fritz Henderson recently announced that the bailed-out automaker might use its U.S. funds to help restructure its European unit Opel, noting that the financing agreements with the Treasury for the $34 billion of bailout funds already spent allow GM to spend any subsequently earned funds as its executives see fit. Some $16 billion remaining after its bankruptcy has strings attached.
[…]
GM has other plans to expand its business abroad. In August, GM China announced a $293 million venture, while last month GM South Korea announced a new infusion of more than $400 million. The automaker also recently inaugurated a $300 million transmission plant in Mexico.
So, is General Motors making money here in America? Uh, No.
General Motors Co. says it lost $1.2 billion from the time it left bankruptcy protection through Sept. 30, far better than previous quarters and a sign that the auto giant is starting to turn around.
….and how’s that account going?:
Chief Financial Officer Ray Young cautioned that the second- and third-quarter figures donât comply with U.S. accounting standards and shouldnât be compared with previous earnings.
GM says it is re-valuing its assets and liabilities and should comply with accounting standards next year.
Ouch.
While I was at the doctors with my Dad earlier today; I happened to mention this to him and another gentleman that worked at the same plant as my Father. Needless to say, their reaction to this was less than, um, shall we say, happy? My Dad replied in terms that I cannot write on this blog. To say that both of those guys were a bit ticked, would be an understatement.
Ed Morrissey cracks:
Letâs get this straight. GM gets tens of billions of dollars in taxpayer money and gets an Obama-managed bankruptcy â and stops complying with accounting standards? My goodness, they really are Government Motors!
In the past, I have given Ed Morrissey a bit of a hassle when he would criticize the auto workers and to an extent the Auto Companies. However, I feel this criticism is much warranted. Call it a hunch, but I tend to believe that the U.A.W. and the workers at the various G.M. plants, especially the one’s here in Michigan; are not going to be too thrilled that the company is taking it’s money and investing overseas; instead of investing it here, where the jobs are actually needed. No matter how you slice it; this was an extremely boneheaded move on the part of General Motors and it deserves the criticism it receives from ALL quarters.
Two very good articles about Sarah Palin
Here are two good articles on the subject of Sarah Palin by my follow Hillbilly-in-Arms:

Conservative Bloggers ask “What on earth is Obama doing?”
Smitty over at R.S. McCain’s blog asks “What if he really wants to be impeached?”
I submit that the continued provocations such as the KSM trial, the obsession with the previous administration, the wrenching changes from spendthrift to fiscal hawk could, if he’s a committed con man, be deliberate provocations towards impeachment.
I’m throwing out the idea that the ultimate Blame America piece will be when, pushed beyond all tolerance, there is a serious demand for impeachment. The con has reaped all of the desired financial rewards, and needs to exit the stage before the bankruptcy of the domestic policy meets the bankruptcy of the foreign policy somewhere around his head. The shiny factor of being POTUS is all drained away, leaving more disgruntled voters than W ever faced.
This is a bizarre possibility. I’d laugh at it, if not for the series of bizarre incidents that form 2009.
Jimmie Bise at the Sundries Shack says:
the trial does give the President a chance to make the pouty lip about the sins of America, which the world could love if only sheâd throw off the bleak cloak of Bushism, while promising that heâll put everything. But thatâs his go-to and Iâm pretty sure thatâs heâs practiced that routine enough to do it whether KSM is standing tall before a judge in Manhattan or a military tribunal in Gitmo.
Shannon Love over at Chicago Boyz says:
For over two hundred years we were careful to keep a firewall between civil and martial law. We did so because civil and martial law are polar opposites. Civil law is focused on protecting the rights of the accused against the overwhelming power of the state. When there is doubt, the accused walks free. Martial law is focused on imposing a minimal order on bloody chaos. It was focused on allowing the military to complete its mission and win wars. When there is doubt, the accused is presumed guilty.
Now, Obama wants to bring martial law into a civil court room in Manhattan. In order to let a civil conviction of KSM stand, the higher courts will have to overturn almost all the current constitutional protections of the accused.
The Neo-Neo Con Says:
…Obama has some of the qualities of the best con artists. That’s not to say that Obama is literally a con man; he’s not pulling the old Spanish Prisoner scam. But he shares more than a few of their attributes.
Obama held himself out to be one thing during the election (a bipartisan moderate), and on taking office became quite the opposite. Cons, like Obama, are ordinarily out to deceive people as to their true purposes. But it’s an error to think they come across as sleazy. The most effective ones are unusually likeable and charming, even as they pull off their scams. This likeability is not a tangential characteristic of con artists, either; it is a central one.
“Con”, after all, is short for “confidence”. The con artist works by gaining the victim’s confidence and trust. The successful con artist is so very likeable, in fact, that he seems especially credible, and people who might otherwise be wary and cynical drop their guard around him. They don’t examine him too closely, so great is their desire to believe.
Contradictions are waved away. Acts that would arouse suspicion if they were committed by someone else are excused. Important omissions go unnoticed. Inconsistencies are rationalized. Shady company is defended or ignored. Sound familiar?
The con artist is able to gain trust by using the right vocal inflections to fit the mark (or, in Obama’s case, the audience), changing accents and speech patterns to match. In addition, a con doesn’t usually stay in one place very long (it has been remarked how often Obama changed jobs) because, although people may not catch on to his game all that quickly, he is afraid that if he sticks around they eventually will.

A liberal fudges the facts a bit
Like I have written on here many, many times before. I hate like the devil to get into fights in the Blogsophere. But again, I find a stupid liberal shooting off at the mouth, when he does not have a flipping clue what the hell he is even taking about.
First off, go watch this video and then come back here.
Okay you done? Good.
It appears that some liberals watched this show as well. A David Neiwert, who writes at crooks and liars; which is a very well known socialist liberal blog. Which is run by some idiot out in California.
Mr. Neiwert is entitled to his opinion, but he is not entitled to his own set of facts.
He writes:
Um, Ms. Fritsch, you need to avail yourself some history books too. It was conservatives who argued for maintaining slavery before the Civil War. It was conservatives who insisted after the war that blacks be denied the full rights of citizenship,
Whoa! Hold on a second there Jackson Brown! That sir is a falsehood, which has been perpetuated by the Democrats for years…. and it is flat wrong. Here is a video, made by the non-partisan discovery channel:
Matter of fact, here is a video; which was most likely produced by someone in the south, that says basically the same thing about the “Radical Republicans.”
He also says:
and who erected the system of Jim Crow, who led rope-bearing lynch mobs that crucified thousands of black people. It was conservatives who erected “No Black After Sundown” signs at the city borders of thousands of American towns.
Again, this is more Democratic Party Propaganda. It is well known that George Wallace, who delivered one of the most famous addresses was, in fact, a member of the Democratic Party. Further more, it was the Democratic Party of the south that fueled the racial hatred of the south. It was the Democratic Party that was formed by the former confederate Soldiers that lost the civil war. Apparently Mr. Neiwert never has actually read the history of the Lincoln-Douglas debate of 1885; and that Stephen A. Douglas was, in fact, a Democrat.
You see folks, this is why I left the Democrats; well, actually, they left me. But I digress. It is because of the deception that the Liberals like to pull, when it comes to the history of this Nation. That my friends, is a tragic thing, because not many young people know the truth, they simply believe what they are told.
Now I will concede a point here:
And most of all, it was conservatives who fought the Civil Rights movement tooth and nail. And it was only from the ceaseless efforts of liberals — many of them indeed Christian liberals — in opposition to conservatives, many of them Christian conservatives — that anything was in fact achieved during that era. Somehow, you’ve managed to get your history completely upside down.
He is right here; Strom Thurmond was a perfect example of this. He changed parties after the civil rights act was passed. What Mr. Neiwert fails to say here is that the Republican Party; after Lincoln died and the Radical Republicans were voted out, basically became a isolationist, Anti-Semitic, and yes, flat out racist party, till around the time of William F. Buckey and Irving Kristol switched sides, and began go after the Birchers and their ilk. Which was around the mid to late 1960’s. But from the time of the voting out of the “Radical Republicans”, all the way through to FDR’s time and up till the 1960’s the Republican Party was in fact, not minority friendly. It is a stain on that Party and has been for years. I cannot defend it, nor will I try. However, it would be helpful to point out, that those days in the Republican Party are quite frankly over. You go around a Republican gathering, and you drop the “N Word” around any of them, and you are asking to get tossed out on your head! Most of them, and I do mean the good majority of them, do not tolerate racism, at all. There are some within the ranks still that harbor prejudices; but they are very small minority in the party, and none of them hold any position any longer. But the good majority of them, are not bigots at all. Much has changed in that party since the 1940’s and 1950’s in the Republican Party and I am quite happy about that.
However, there was a reason behind the opposition to the civil rights act; and no, it is not racism, as it is alleged by the Democrats. It was because of the civil rights act’s unconstitutionality. Basically the bill, in its final form, violated the Constitution. This is why Senator Barry Goldwater would not sign on to it, nor support it, at all. It is helpful to note that this action of stubbornness cost him the Presidential election. So, while he might have been slightly right about the civil rights act. He was quite wrong about the history of the Republican Party.

Oh My: More Carrie Prejean Sex Tapes?
Carrie Prejean - A disgrace to Christianity!
AllahPundit and Ace have been all over this like a fly on Doo doo… (Phew!)Â Which is not entirely surprising seeing that it is a pretty crappy subject. Bump da bump bump…ching! đ
I have blogged about this woman before; and now, I am doing it again. Which proves that it is a slow news day. I, like many other Conservative Bloggers, gave this gal the benefit of the doubt. I see now, that this was a big mistake.
It seems that little miss “Polly Pure Bright” has made more than one sex tape and naked Photo in her day. Now, keep in mind, the source for this info has given some bogus info before. So, buyer beware!
AllahPundit Remarks:
On the contrary, itâs the fact that theyâre imperfect and prone to âstray from the path,â as we all are, that draws them towards redemption in the faith. There does, however, come a point where you stray so far from the path or so frequently that your commitment to it comes into question. For example, an atheist in a foxhole might be forgiven for saying a prayer in a moment of panic, while heâs being shot at. An atheist who prays any time heâs in a tough spot ⊠simply ainât much of an atheist. Has CP reached that point (yet) in Christian/conservative opinion or is her line of credit essentially limitlessâ?
Ace just sets it out like it is:
My problem, instead, is that she has enlisted supporters, such as myself, to support her in her legal/PR campaign, on the theory that the California pageant had nothing legitimate to boot her out on, and that only anti-Christian animus could explain their behavior, when in fact⊠well, first the photos, which were racy, but I excused and defended. And then, well, the masturbation tape, which I kept quiet about.
And now⊠the other seven masturbation tapesâŠ
She knew all this stuff was out there, she knew it was coming out, etc., and yet I and many of her supporters have been impressed into duty as her defenders through deception.
Because it wasnât ever true that there was no reason, save anti-Christian animus, to kick her out of the pageant organization. A masturbation tape is, well. Iâm not really offended by it but other pageant-hopefuls have gotten the boot for the same thing, and even a lot less.
So what do I feel about her? I feel she chumped me in order to advance her own legal interestsâŠ
Whether she has anything more interesting to say is up to her. But the Perez Hilton/pageant stuff? I really donât care to hear how unfair it all was anymore. It was unfair, and a book deal was gotten out of that; thatâs enough. A book deal can bandage up a lot of wounds.
What really made me want to blog about this, when I saw it last night; was this right here, which is over on the Radar Online story:
In her newly released book Carrie wrote, âGod gave us our bodies, and itâs perfectly right that we use them in ways where we can give glory to God by making our bodies, our temples of the Holy Spirit, strong and fast.â
Sorry Miss Prejean; but making multiple tapes of yourself, rubbing yourself is NOT considered using your Body in a manner that is pleasing to God, nor is it considered making your body the temple of the Holy Spirit. The truth is folks Carrie Prejean played the “Jesus” card on us. She is nothing more than a two bit floozy, who would get naked to make a quick buck in a heartbeat. When asked about marriage, she gave the answer, that she knew damned well would cause a stink. If you think for one minute that this blond bimbo is truly a Conservative, much less a Christian, then I have a swamp to sell you in Texas; for cheap. Carrie Prejean is nothing more than a opportunist; she gave the answer that she knew darned well would cause a backlash against her; knowing full well that she had some very bad behavior in her closet.
Why do I say all that? This is why; because no true Born-Again Christian that I know or even had contact with in my entire twenty-six years of being a Christian, would ever expose they bodies in the manner that this gal has. Carrie Prejean is the text book example of the outright stench of compromise in the Evangelical Christian movement of the 21 century. I mean, not over dramatize this whole thing; but it is the type Christianity of — “Why yes, I am Christian, now let me get my clothes on and pour you a drink” kind. It is sickening and reminds me why I left that bunch of compromising, watered-down type of Christianity. This is not to say that Fundamentalist Christianity is any different at all; we have our issues too. I can name a few — King James Only Cultism, Cult of personality, Pastoral Authority Abuse, and on and on. — But do we have Fundamentalist Baptists taking their clothes off and romping around in a Bikini; all the while praising Jesus Christ and making sex tapes? No. We do not!
The reason why this gets up my nose so much is this; as much as I know that I am not the perfect image of a Christian and at times, I say and do things that I know are not very becoming of a Christian, which is why I do not preach or even try and post things of a Christian nature on my blog, outside a newsletter that I like to read; it is quite hard to just sit here and do nothing, while some stupid idiot blond harpy takes a makes a mockery of Christian to the world. It makes me angry, sick and sad — all in one bundled up emotion inside. All the while smart mouthed beta males are getting their jollies off of mocking the Christian Faith. Quite bluntly, the stupid woman needs to be told, cut the stupidity or just farking disappear.
There, I said it and I feel better about it…

“Cold Cash” Jefferson gets 13 years in the slammer
Good place for the idiot crook:
Former Rep. William Jefferson was sentenced Friday to serve 13 years in prison for what the lead prosecutor described as “the most extensive and pervasive pattern of corruption in the history of Congress.”
While the sentence by federal Judge T.S. Ellis III fell well short of the 27 to 33 years recommended by the government, it is by the far the stiffest jail term ever imposed on a member or former member of Congress for crimes committed while in office.
Jefferson, 62, was found guilty Aug. 6 on 11 charges, including soliciting bribes, depriving citizens of honest service, money laundering and using his office as a racketeering enterprise.
He was acquitted of five other charges in a case that famously featured the revelation that he had hidden $90,000 in the freezer of his home, marked bills from the FBI that prosecutors said was going to be used as a bribe.
Jefferson stood stoically as the sentence was read, his head cocked slightly to the left, showing no obvious emotion.

The race hustlers are most likely say he is being picked on. But I dunno. I doubt it; as this guy was nailed by the feds on a wiretap. So, I doubt Sharpton will have much to say about it. For the record, and before anyone asks; yes, I do have a problem with Republicans that do the same thing. I was glad when Jack Abramoff and all of the rest of the Republicans who have been convicted of same charges.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Trailers and Excerpts:
Updated: A Huge Blunder by the Obama Administration
Possibly one of the biggest blunders by the Obama Administration:
WASHINGTON â Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the self-described mastermind of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and four other men accused in the plot will be prosecuted in federal court in New York City, the United States attorney general announced Friday.
But the administration will prosecute another set of high-profile detainees now being held at the military prison at GuantĂĄnamo Bay, Cuba â Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, who is accused of planning the 2000 bombing of the Navy destroyer Cole in Yemen, and four other detainees â before a military commission.
Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. announced those decisions in a news conference Friday at the Department of Justice. The arrangements would mean that civilian prosecutors would handle those detainees accused of the 2001 terrorist attacks, which killed nearly 3,000 people in New York, northern Virginia and Pennsylvania, while the 2000 attack against the Cole would remain within the military system.
Here is why this is a big blunder; I’ll let William Teach‘s words say it for me, This is what he wrote in the comments section of Allan Colmes Blog:
Youâre forgetting one thing, Alan: KSM is NOT an American citizen, and not entitled to the protections of our Constitution unless we afford them to him.
The problem with “Affording” them to these guys is this, as Ed Morrissey writes:
That brings up a key question. What happens if the judge throws out key evidence over nitpicky technicalities? What happens if KSM and others get found not guilty because of gaps in the evidence chain resulting from national-security issues or âevidentiary issuesâ? Will Obama let them walk away? If that happens, look for a massive amount of anger to overwhelm the naive Commander in Chief. And if Obama isnât prepared to let them walk after a potential acquittal, then it makes a mockery of the criminal trial, and of the justice system itself.
These terrorists belong at a military tribunal, not the justice system employed for Americans to judge other Americans for civil criminal conduct. Instead of giving these men the oblivion they deserve, weâre incentivizing further attacks on the US by giving them the biggest possible PR platform. We may as well put them on TV and call it Dancing With the Terrorists, or So You Want To Be A Jihadist Martyr.
I have worse scenario than that; what if we happen to get a judge that is a Muslim? What happens if during that trial he begins to feel a twinge of sympathy for these terrorists and begins to nitpick at the evidence and ends up tossing the case out of court? I know it sounds far fetched; but it could happen.
Either way, is this massive blunder by the President and I look for Fox News to go on the attack over this. These guy should be tried in International Court. Just like the Nazi’s were. But because our President is a liberal; this will not be done. He is of the belief system that the terrorists were nothing more than common petty criminals and should be treated as such. This is the same mistake that President Bill Clinton made and it is why September 11’th happened in the first place. As long as the United States continues to make the same mistakes,when it comes to handling of terrorists, we will continue to see terrorists attacks on our soil. It is a fact of reality.
Update: Hell, Democrat Jim Webb even thinks that this is a bad idea! (H/T Ed at HotAir)
I have never disputed the constitutional authority of the President to convene Article III courts in cases of international terrorism. However, I remain very concerned about the wisdom of doing so. Those who have committed acts of international terrorism are enemy combatants, just as certainly as the Japanese pilots who killed thousands of Americans at Pearl Harbor. It will be disruptive, costly, and potentially counterproductive to try them as criminals in our civilian courts.
The precedent set by this decision deserves careful scrutiny as we consider proper venues for trying those now held at Guantanamo who were apprehended outside of this country for acts that occurred outside of the country. And we must be especially careful with any decisions to bring onto American soil any of those prisoners who remain a threat to our country but whose cases have been adjudged as inappropriate for trial at all. They do not belong in our country, they do not belong in our courts, and they do not belong in our prisons.
I have consistently argued that military commissions, with the additional procedural rules added by Congress and enacted by President Obama, are the most appropriate venue for trying individuals adjudged to be enemy combatants.
Update: It seems that my gay stalker Ed Brayton does not like what I wrote. Big surprise there, seeing he is a leftist libertarian/classic liberal;Â or as I like to call them small Government liberals. I guess he and his sheep that follow after him, did not bother to follow the links and see, that yes, in fact, I did refer to the International criminal court. Anyhow, my stalker says that Conservatives do not support that idea. To that I reply;Â Who says that I follow the Republican/Conservative talking points? I believe that these terrorists ought to be tried in international criminal court or at least in a Military trial and NOT in a civilian court on American soil. As Obama said HE felt they should be, back in 2006. But now has flip flopped on, now the he has been elected.
Updated: An excerpt from Sarah Palin’s New Book goes after the McCain campaign staffers
Wow…. đŻ Sarah Palin gets her day in the court of opinion; it is about flipping time already. From the Drudge:
HER TURN!

Going Rogue: An American Life
by Sarah Palin
Chapter Four; Section 8, pages 255-257
By the third week in September, a âFree Sarahâ campaign was under way and the press at large was growing increasingly critical of the McCain campâs decision to keep me, my family and friends back home, and my governorâs staff all bottled up. Meanwhile, the question of which news outlet would land the first interview was a big deal, as it always is with a major party candidate.
From the beginning, Nicolle [Wallace] pushed for Katie Couric and the CBS Evening News. The campaignâs general strategy involved coming out with a network anchor, someone they felt had treated John well on the trail thus far. My suggestion was that we be consistent with that strategy and start talking to outlets like FOX and the Wall Street Journal. I really didnât have a say in which press I was going to talk to, but for some reason Nicolle seemed compelled to get me on the Katie bandwagon.
âKatie really likes you,â she said to me one day. âsheâs a working mom and admires you as a working mom. She has teenage daughter like you. She just relates to you,â Nicolle said. âbelieve me, I know her very well. Iâve worked with her.â Nicolle had left her gig at CBS just a few months earlier to hook up with the McCain campaign. I had to trust her experience, as she had dealt with national politics more than I had. But something always struck me as peculiar about the way she recalled her days in the White House, when she was speaking on behalf of President George W. Bush. She didn't have much to say that was positive about her former boss or the job in general. Whenever I wanted to give a shout-out to the White Houseâs homeland security efforts after 9/11, we were told we couldnât do it. I didnât know if that was Nicolleâs call.
Nicolle went on to explain that Katie really needed a career boost. âShe just has such low self-esteem,â Nicolle said. She added that Katie was going through a tough time. âShe just feels she canât trust anybody.â
I was thinking, And this has to do with John McCainâs campaign how?
Nicolle said. âShe wants you to like her.â
Hearing all that, I almost started to feel sorry for her. Katie had tried to make a bold move from lively morning gal to serious anchor, but the new assignment wasnât going very well.
âYou know what? Weâll schedule a segment with her,â Nicolle said. âIf it doesnât go well, if thereâs no chemistry, we wonât do any others.â
Meanwhile, the media blackout continued. It got so bad that a couple of times I had a friend in Anchorage track down phone numbers for me, and then I snuck in calls to folks like Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity and someone I thought was Larry Kudlow but turned out to be Neil Cavutoâs producer. I had a friend call Bill OâReilly after I was inundated with supporters in Alaska asking why the campaign was âignoringâ his on-air requests for a McCain campaign interview. I had another friend scrambling to find Mark Levinâs number. Aboard the campaign plane I was within twenty-five feet of reporters for hours on end. Headquartersâ strategy was that I should not go to the back of the aircraft and talk to the press. At first this was subtle, but as the campaign wore on, Tracey or Tucker would call headquarters to request permission, and someone in DC would respond, âNo! Absolutely not- block her if she tries to go back.â
By the third week in September, a âFree Sarahâ campaign was under way and the press at large was growing increasingly critical of the McCain campâs decision to keep me, my family and friends back home, and my governorâs staff all bottled up. Meanwhile, the question of which news outlet would land the first interview was a big deal, as it always is with a major party candidate.A quite interesting story indeed. Sounds to me like that this Nichole Wallace was a liberal plant in John McCain’s campaign for the sole purpose of putting the “Deep Six” on John McCain Campaign. Now the really funny part is that Ann Althouse says that Sarah Palin is “dumb,” that sounds like nothing more than petty jealousy. I thought Ann was better than that, but then again, I never though Ann would vote for Barack Obama either —- Now, who’s dumb sweetie? I think the answer is quite clear here. What more can be expected from a woman, who, in all honesty, Fellatio’ed her way to the place that she is now?
(Please note: I removed the video here, as it was auto-starting and driving me crazy!)
By the way, You can get Sarah’s new book here too:
Update: It seems that The Other McCain, Ace of Spades and Conservatives for Palin agree with me. đ
The Obligatory Beaver takes a wee wee on CBS Anchor Posting
Now this is funny; As it is being suggested over on facebook, Conservative Beaver? Naaah… Couldn’t be! — or could it?
There’s a joke in there somewhere! đ
Exit question: Was the the Beaver getting all Wee Wee’ed up? Bum-da-bum-bum Ching!
Andrew Sullivan’s Political Masturbation
Good God this man is so far into the tank; it is sickening:
Obama’s position – almost a year into his presidency – is yet to be revealed. The president waits, prods, allows the parties to reveal their hands, and keeps his final detailed position to
himself. By allowing the debate to continue in public, he also tries to get the public more, rather than less, involved. So we too get to show our hand as the debate continues. And the polls show Americans pretty evenly – and understandably – divided on the excruciating and ultimately prudential question of what to do next.
What strikes me about this is the enormous self-confidence this reveals. Here is a young president, prepared to allow himself to be portrayed as “weak” or “dithering” in the slow and meticulous arrival at public policy. He is trusting the reality to help expose what we need to do. He is allowing the debate – however messy and confusing and emotional – to take its time and reveal the real choices in front of us. This is politically risky, of course. Those who treat politics as a contact-sport, whose insistence is on the “game” of who wins which news cycle, or who can spin each moment in a political storm as a harbinger of whatever, will pounce and shriek and try to bounce the president into a decision. And those who believe that what matters in war is charging ahead regardless at all times will also grandstand against the president’s insistence on prudence.

Good Lord. Get this man a bottle of baby oil, a warm room and a towel. If that isn’t a gay crush on a black man; I do not know what is.
Dan over Riehl World View cracks:
Sullivan is so far down in the tank, there can’t be any oxygen down there. Maybe that explains his posts for the last year, or so.
Quite true. Quite true indeed. Conservative? Yeah, right!
Opportunistic Bovine Tripe
I think I have seen it all now…:
We know absolutely no one in Bush family circles and have never met former President George W. Bush or his wife Laura.
If you have been reading us for any length of time, you know that we used to make fun of âDubyaâ nearly every dayâŠparroting the same comedic bits we heard in our Democrat circles, where Bush is still, to this day, lampooned as a chimp, a bumbling idiot, and a poor, clumsy public speaker.
Oh, how we RAILED against Bush in 2000âŠand how we RAILED against the surge in support Bush received post-9/11 when he went to Ground Zero and stood there with his bullhorn in the ruins on that hideous day.
We were convinced that ANYONE who was president would have done what Bush did, and would have set that right tone of leadership in the wake of that disaster. President Gore, President Perot, President Nader, you name it. ANYONE, we assumed, would have filled that role perfectly.
Well, we told you before how much the current president, Dr. Utopia, made us realize just how wrong we were about Bush. We shudder to think what Dr. Utopia would have done post-9/11. He would have not gone there with a bullhorn and struck that right tone. More likely than not, he would have been his usual fey, apologetic self and waxed professorially about how evil America is and how justified Muslims are for attacking us, with a sidebar on how good the attacks were because they would humble us.
Honestly, we donât think President Gore would have been much better that day. The world needed George W. Bush, his bullhorn, and his indominable spirit that dayâŠand we will forever be grateful to this man for that.

It is a very interesting read; It all sounds nice and pretty — that is until you hear the reality of it. If you think for one minute that the people that wrote the above and what is over at that link are really sincere about that; I have land to sell you for extremely cheap in Texas —- in a swamp. The only motivation for this idiotic bunch of Bovine Tripe that was written here is the following; their allegiance to Hillary Clinton. HillBuzz is simply a group of Homosexual Hillary Supporters; that are a still bitter because Barack Obama kicked Shillary’s fat ass in the 2008 Primary.
So, while it may sound nice, pretty and — dare I even say it? Patriotic. (Uh, Gag, Puke) It is simply a piece written to kick dirt in the face of Barack Obama for daring to defeat Hillary Clinton. So, please, do not buy the hype on this entry. Because if it would have been Hillary that won. These guys would be still trashing Bush. In other words; Nice try guys, but not all of us in the political blogging world are that dumb to believe that you actually now love Bush. đ
Democrats Hypocrisy over Nastiness in Politics
It seems that the Liberals have some sort of double standard, when it comes to nastiness in politics. Some idiot liberal Blogger wrote up a rather interesting blog posting, about how horrible I was for making the offhanded comments, that I made on twitter and also here on my Blog. The comments which I did remove and also did apologize for and also removed the controversial Blog posting as well.
All I have to say about that posting is; Um, Hypocrite much ya’ll?

The funny thing is; the liberal loons justify the above as Freedom of speech. But you let someone like me; A Conservative make a slip up and it’s off to the gallows with me! You socialist bastards are nothing more the blatant hypocrites. You believe in freedom of speech as long as it fits your agenda. It was perfectly fine to do the above to George W. Bush, Israel and so on. But you let someone threaten President Barack Obama and liberals are ready to call FBI on you.
My point is this, I admit I made a mistake, the liberal left, never admits anything at all. The Liberals in the damned Country are not the moral compass that they claim to be. They never have been and never will be. So, please, give me a break. Because you were just as bad, when you were out of power. Further more, you double standards are absolutely sickening. How do you even dare to tell me what I can and cannot say on twitter, after looking at these pictures? How?!?!
The truth is, you cannot. Because you know damned well, that you are just as guilty of hate, as I was, when I spouted off. Now, please, put that in your damned pipe and smoke it, assholes. đĄ

Uh-oh: Nidal Hasan may have wired money to Pakistan
Now this is going to be game changer, if found to be true:
WASHINGTON â Authorities have been examining whether Fort Hood massacre suspect Nidal Malik Hasan wired money to Pakistan in recent months, an action that one senior lawmaker said would raise serious questions about Hasan’s possible connections to militant Islamic groups.
Rep. Pete Hoekstra, R-Mich., said sources “outside of the [intelligence] community” learned about Hasan’s possible connections to the Asian country, which faces a massive Islamist insurgency and is widely believed to be Osama bin Laden’s hiding place.
Hoekstra, the ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, would not identify the sources. But he said “they are trying to follow up on it because they recognize that if there are communications â phone or money transfers with somebody in Pakistan â it just raises a whole other level of questions.”
So much for the liberal line of “Oh, he was just psycho, there was no terrorism involved!” But do you think the liberal main stream media will change its narrative on this? Don’t bet on it. They’re still trying to justify his actions. I still say that the perfect solution is to force all Muslims OUT of the United States Military and round them all up and put them on camps, until this war is finally over. But of course, I do not run the country. It is a pity too; I could solve many of the Worlds problems.

Confirmed: President Obama wants the United States to fail in Afghanistan
Yesterday, some moron liberal left this comment in my comment section of a posting that I made about the Ft. Hood Speech that Obama Gave:
Say, Pat, do you happen to know *why* Obama was 40 minutes late to give the speech?
He was talking to wounded survivors of the attack.
Really, though, it was a perfect situation for youâsuppose he had cut short that meeting? Then you could have slagged him for insulting the survivors by running off to the speech.
To Wish I replied back:
Your opinion, of course.
You somehow miss the fuller point. The man is a damned empty suit. He has no true feelings for our Military. He only cares about his political record. I am sorry, I tried giving him the benefit of the doubt. But it is quote obvious, that he just doesnot care. If he did, he would order a congressional investigation into the rampage and call it what it was, A TERRORIST ATTACK! But he does not do that; because he either secretly agrees with this mans actions or is at last sympathetic to the Jihadists cause.
Of course, this doesnât surprise me that you donât get this; most socialists liberals are that dumb.
Now comes the news of the confirmation of what I stated:
President Barack Obama does not plan to accept any of the Afghanistan war options presented by his national security team, pushing instead for revisions to clarify how and when U.S. troops would turn over responsibility to the Afghan government, a senior administration official said Wednesday.
That stance comes in the midst of forceful reservations about a possible troop buildup from the U.S. ambassador in Afghanistan, Karl Eikenberry, according to a second top administration official.
In strongly worded classified cables to Washington, Eikenberry said he had misgivings about sending in new troops while there are still so many questions about the leadership of Afghan President Hamid Karzai.
Obama is still close to announcing his revamped war strategy â most likely shortly after he returns from a trip to Asia that ends on Nov. 19.
But the president raised questions at a war council meeting Wednesday that could alter the dynamic of both how many additional troops are sent to Afghanistan and what the timeline would be for their presence in the war zone, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss Obama’s thinking.
This my friends, is a strategy for failure. This President just does not care about winning the war on terror. All President Obama cares about is passing his rather idiotic social agenda. If President Obama knew that it would not “Deep Six” his poll numbers; he would pull the United States of America out of Iraq and Afghanistan in a New York Minute.
My friends, elections have consequences —- and this is one of them. Keep this in mind, come 2010.
