Is Monica Crowley related to Candy Crowley and are either of them related to Aleister Crowley?

please tell me she didn't say sarah palin is hip and cool..wow

McSame did not pick Whatsherface.

I have watced the McLaughlin Group every week for years.
I call her "Skin Crawlie" because she gives me the creeps.

And when it comes to that whole "maverick" thing....

McCain is a "Maverick" ???
The Rusty Old Gas-Guzzler they said was an economy model !!!
THAT Maverick ???

Noooo... silly wabbit.

He is Maverick as in "Top Gun's Maverick" just like McCain, Tom Cruises' character manages to crash his plane in the silliest of ways.

I remember her show with Ron Reagan Jr. a couple years back. She was a shill then, and she is a shill now. She even went on Cobert or Stewart's show(I can't remember) and claimed that George Bush will be probably known as the best Pres. ever! What a delusional whack-job!

Let's apply the same standards to Monica that America and the MSM have applied to Palin....

She's hot. Therefore, she must be a good journalist.

I hate to say it (and I hate even more that the polls also seem to be saying it) but: What did Crowley say that was inaccurate?

McCain has done the impossible with Palin. There are sizable groups of people who actually believe that the McCain/Palin ticket is "populist, [] reformist, anti-establishment, anti- corruption, and — dare I say it — hip and cool…"

The idiots that actually believe this are, well, idiots. But Crowley is right in that Bush III has been very effectively relabled.

stevo!13, As long as Faux News women have perky breasts and perfect teeth, the rest of us normal females, need not apply.

How F*cked up is this bee-otch.
What kind of drugs is she on?
Whatever it is, the whole damn GOP are slamin it down.

Hip and cool? She needs to get out of the beltway more.

Linky no worky you guys.

Talk about putting lipstick on a pig...But yesterday Ed Koch (former NYC mayor, who endorsed Bush in 2004) came out for Obama, saying Palin scares the hell out of him....

sarah palin is neither 'hip' or 'cool'......she is a national
security risk....that used to be the GOP stronghold. the
tough party. well sarah has left the country once. being
governor of a state with the population of memphis.
does anyone seriously believe she has any knowledge
of international affairs......how about national affairs.
this will go down as one of the biggest jokes in this countries history......mccain is 72.5...aything could happen....to put sarah palin in office.

McCain is nothing without his two bimbos - Cindy and Sarah.

Palin ONLY looks good in comparison to:

A. McCain (confused cryptkeeper)
B. The rest of the republican party who're are either blamed for the current state of the country or are crooks, or both.

In any sane environment she'd be seen as the fundamentalist wacko she is.

Tyler@20, Eeew. That is a disturbing thought, if not, a disturbing picture! Eew.

odanny @ 32:

Why doesnt the MSM just start doing split screen shots of Palin and Lynda Carter dressed in her red, white and blue outfit.

Out of respect for Lynda Carter?

{ Deleted, For obvious reasons. SiteMonitor}
I don't even want to think about why you know what that looks like.

odanny @ 32:

Why doesnt the MSM just start doing split screen shots of Palin and Lynda Carter dressed in her red, white and blue outfit.

Because comparing Linda Carter (who won first place in a real beauty pageant) to Sara Palin (runner-up in Podunck) would be like, oh, I don't know...

This woman is living proof that the movie, Invasion of the Body Snatchers was actually a documentary.

Monica Crowley, is there a brain in your head?
(Oh) Ms. Crowley, I'd still like to get you in bed
Your lifestyle to me seems so plastic
With the shrill of your call
You repub people are spastic
(Yeah)You really back us up to a wall

Monica Crowley, won't you ride my white horse?
Monica Crowley, it's symbolic of course

etc.

I'm 48 years old, & "Kitten w/ a Whip" is long before my time. If they're trying to appeal to the old folks who already like McSame, it's working.
Those who don't have one foot in the grave need to get out & vote. The gerontocrats are willing to make this country unlivable and take the rest of them with us.

What the bloody h*ll is "new and fresh and dynamic" about a woman who reads a speech and then refuses to answer questions for 2 weeks until finally agreeing to an interview with someone who will throw softballs at her? Huh?!

Um, you DO have Santorum to kick around, per this ThinkProgress article that came out a little while ago.

"Are you better off now than you were eight years ago?"

That's one slogan I'm going to start posting on blogs and newspaper comment threads.

By the way, bluegal....you say that you have a "pervasive sadness that I don’t have Katherine Harris and Rick Santorum to kick around anymore."

But we still have those like Michelle Bachmann and now Ms. Crowley!

somebody said it earlier.....palin is a gimmick. to think that rove said before the palin pick that a governor kaine
pick by obama would be political....he's not ready.

OT but important.

The Republicans are working their magic in Arizona !

Election Integrity Advocates are being arrested for pointing out ballot bags with missing seals.

Pima County (Tucson), Arizona Election Integrity advocate and expert John Brakey was arrested last night while performing his job as an election supervisor, on behalf of both the Democratic and Libertarian parties, during a post-election hand-count audit of ballots.

Brakey becomes the latest in a growing string of EI advocates to be arrested and/or barred from observing (Brakey was lucky enough to merit both "honors" apparently)

Brakey had noticed that several of the incoming bags containing ballots from the precincts had unsecured or missing seals. The seal failures appeared to be the result of pollworkers not knowing how to properly lock them.

Brakey then wondered whether the serial numbers on the bag seals matched the serial numbers recorded by the precinct pollworkers when they sealed the ballots. One question led to another, and Brakey ended up in handcuffs.

Its also no surprise that news like this is coming from WcCains home state, 'evil is as evil does'

USC 17

Mr. Putin, Ann-Margret in “Kitten with a Whip” is here. Shall I send her in?

If these people can't be stopped we will soon be no more than a circus freak show. I know, I know. What I meant was, a bigger circus freak show.

Monica Crowley = Paula Abdoul

"he has rebranded the Republican Party as populist, as reformist, anti-establishment, anti- corruption, and — dare I say it — hip and cool… "

He rebranded it?
Why is he, the ONLY one doing so?

The...New and improved"...republicans.

Is that anything like a...
>new, better, and "improved" version of anthrax?
>the new thermite II formula for easier, faster cleanups?
>bigger, better, faster working, "official standard" office shredding machines?
>new and improved lobbyists, who carries pure gold bars, instead of paper?

Cool stuff! Eh? Very hip, dare I say it...packet of BS LIES!

Tyler@54, My mother and her right-wing friends have been waiting for the 'End' for years now. It began with Y2K. It started again with the Dems taking the House and Senate. I asked her about Global Warming, her reply,"God shall take of it ." Really? It seems these religious folks blame everyone else except themselves. Convenient, huh.

My mother in love attends religiously her mega church, I was forced to attend once. It is scary how a bunch of racist rich white privileged assholes can mold Jesus' message of equality, humility, and fairness into: "You are poor because God hates you, so fuck off and die."

I did my duty and left my decal of Jesus with open arms and the caption "stupid fuckers" in their entrance.

If anything, it reminded me that religion is for the most part: bullshit.

ugh... bad grammar! "mother in love" should read "mother in law" I need to take a shower now... ugh.

The Republican party is doing everything they can to distract Americans from remembering that they are the ones responsible for the terrible state (republic) of affairs in which we are mired. The message to American needs to be kept simple:

It doesn't matter what message McAnus and Palin try to deliver, the bottom line is they still represent the Republican party. If people in this country truly want to change the direction this country is headed in, they must not keep the Republican party in power.

It's as simple as that.

And yet, Obama and the democrats are blowing it!

Why do the "liberals" on these shows always have to be either moderate and/or meek and mild, while the conservatives get to be stark raving party propagandists. McLaughlin has never been top rank, but they've really lost me with Pat Buchanan and Crowley stomping on the hapless "liberal" dimwits they have on the show. I don't even know who that black guy with the bug eyes is. Where did they find him?

you mean clarence paige of the chicago-tribune. mclaughlin's show has gone downhill since bringing on crowley. definitely brought down the level of discourse several notches.

And as much as I like Elanor Clift, who is one of the few intelligent, insightful pundits on TV (as opposed to that moron Gloria Borger, who has never uttered an intelligent, insightful thought in her life), she practically defines the word shrill. I understand she's just trying to get a word in above the aggressive, conservative loudmouths, but still. Altogether, it gives me a damned headache. Clarence is the only non-screamer in the bunch. Maybe that's why he seems so inept.

BREAKING NEWS:

This is very serious Today Everyone John McCain Campaign put out an Ad Advocating against the protection of our children from Child Molesters. And can you blame him, if we could turn back the clock when John McCain was 18 his wife would have only been ONE YEARS OLD.

Please Please Please Please review the attachment of all the Republicans that have been arrested for Child Molestation

http://www.armchairsubversive.org/

Explain what the bill was actually for, protecting children from sexual deviants and predators, and show pics of all the republicans that are. Larry Craig and Mark Foley come to mind to start with.

Please Pass this Message Along and Help Protect Our Childred

They should put Republican ex Rep. Mark Foley on the case, I hear he is free and has experience in the matter.

We should run a petition to have the Obama campaign make Kristin Lems' "Days of the Theocracy" their campaign theme. we are fucked.

First they fight abortion, birth control is next,
Then comes sex if you’re not married, finally, out goes sex
Put the prayers back in the schools, install parochiaid
Allow for corporal punishment, and then you got it made!

http://kristinlems.com/music-160.html

Well, here I am. Going to bed. I feel a little brighter. Don't ask me why. But I believe Karl Rove and his minions will get their comeupance. Palin is a stooge, and when women understand her record, they will desert in droves.(AT least I hope) Later my friends.

ditto

I hope and pray you guys are right, but everyday I talk to someone who I thought would be a definite Obama vote, and they are now thinking McCain.

I know they may come to their senses again, but it sure in the hell is unsettling to observe. If democrats had fu**ed the country up this bad, it would be another 49 state republican landslide. I just don't get it. WTF is wrong with these people? Really, can someone help me out with this? How could anyone who is not brainwashed or braindead or both, even think about voting republican again?

polite loses elections. even the dumbest politico should know this by now.

Crowley is batshit crazy, that is proof, "hip and cool" - good lord! Poor Eleanor Clift, she appears speechless.

I'll cut her some slack because she is young, and that probably is her first TV interview.....BUT.....war is in her father's blood. I keep on repeating myself, but I'll do so again....he makes comments like "bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" and we'll be in Iraq "100 years"; he says that "cigarettes are one way of killing them (Iranians); and he tells a woman that he agrees with her that we should reinstate the military draft so we have enough people to get Bin Laden.

He has neocon Randy Scheunemann as his top foreign policy advisor. Neocons urged Clinton to bomb and attack Iraq; he did not; Bush did.

And, to top it all off, if you look at Meghan McCain's web site, she has a picture of Henry Kissinger at the RNC. The caption reads, "More Kissinger!"....with an exclamation point. She is thrilled to see that Vietnam War monger who worked for Nixon.

Young Ms. Mccain probably didn't mean what she said, but there is absolutely no doubt that war is in her father's blood and probably in hers as well.

YEP IT IS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!! WE NEED TO GET TO WORK!!

You know what, this is why I'm getting pissed off. The polls always say it is so close. It's crap! These polls are what gave the election to Bush. By making it so close, they scared they minions. Let's have faith.

P.D. @ 88:

No@85, Buck up! This is just the beginning! The debates are comimng soon! don't lose Faith.

Having to rely on debates is what's so unsettling.

Remember the first 2004 debate. The one where Bush stood on stage for 90 minutes looking like the village idiots apprentice? As he repeatedly, almost incoherently mumbled over and over again: "it's hard work, ahe he he, the...the... work is a a-hard, and its not easy. Its a..., a...., a....., work that's a hard, and its a-hard work. Then shaking his head for ten seconds as though he were waking up, repeated "and a..., its a...., hard work. its just a..., um..., a..., something thats hard."

And yet, 62,000,000 people said "I wanna vote for that guy!"

P.D. @ 88:

WTF is going on with the O Team and the rest of the Dem politicians?

Actually, I think it's a smart move if they play it right. The media is just starting to catch on to the Palin lie and doing the groundwork. NBC did a great (and surprising!) fact check on Palin on the evening news tonight and pretty much debunked everything she's been claiming about herself. I think it's right for Obama to lay a little bit low right now and let the momentum build a little against her. Two months might not seem like a long time, but look at what's happened in just the past two weeks. I'm confident that it will tip back again, as long as Obama and Biden are smart and aggressive when the time is right.

I sure hope you are right.

Ann Margaret in Kitten with a Whip was an oversexed sociopathic homicidal juvenile delinquent gangmember and kidnapper who tries to destroy an ambitious politician after stabbing a guard and escaping from prison.

I'm not sure what Crowley is getting at here.

Hip and cool?

Yeah, that's EXACTLY what I thought when watching as the camera panned across the GOP convention crowd.

I would like to think it's all the bleach fumes have shriveled her brain, but like it or not half the country is as dumb as she is. Remember as George Carlin said, "When you think of how dumb people are remember half of them are even dunber."

If America falls for this bologna...the Extreme right could never chant the battlecry Country first ever again!

So, I see she is engaging in her FDA and RNC-approved ass-kissing of a GOP candidate.
Oh I can't wait to see the look on her face on Nov.6th.

Sarah Palin's closet full of horrors has opened just a tiny crack.
What's inside? Jim Jones meets Dr. Strangelove.

Eleanor Clift is not a dimwit and has shut Buchanan up many times not to mention she is correct on many of the issues discussed. I wouldn't watch the show if Eleanor was not on it, plus I love to hear McLaughlin say, "Eleanor! What say you?"

"Bye, Bye!"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMZfdCkYPig

This video is the analogy of Sarah Palin. All flare, no substance.

Laugh all you want; Obama is diving in the polls. Even the electoral vote maps. Don't let those sites fool you; 3% leads in the battleground states are NOT "toss-ups"; McCain is winning them. And in the debates, McCain will be the comforting, stern, grandfatherly war-hero; and Obama will be the uptight, professorial, elitist black guy with a muslim name, REGARDLESS OF THE FACT OR LOGIC OF THE ANSWERS. We live in a world seen through the looking glass. They reward the dems for eight years of peace and prosperity by throwing them out of office; they're going to reward the repubs for eight years of disaster with four more and a lifetime Supreme Court. I have no words.

wow, that was the most ridiculous analysis i've heard in weeks (and that is saying a lot)...

what a whore.

man come the fuck on. Is this REALLY gonna work? Seriously? I'm sure it works to the totally numb IDIOTS with barely above handicapped IQ, but is that enough? I really can't wait til Nov. when obama wins by a landslide.

I despise the cruel killer Palin, but I grant that she's the most attractive Christo-fascist in U.S. history.

If McGramps had just Phyllis Schlafly, we'd be home free. The pulchritudinous Palin is Schlafly minus 40 years ...

I guess the Dems can start planning for 2012 ... if the country is still in existence by then ...

At least I won't have to see or listen to Wanton Boy anymore ...

The republiCONs really don't have sex symbols, now do they?

Now they are grasping at straws.

How sad.

And FUNNY of course.

Thanks for the COMIC RELIEF Monica bitch!

Im actually hoping Somebody dusts off Kitten with a Whip because of this. I actually think its good comparison though im sure its not what this Barbican had in mind. A little Kitten with a whip, a little Bikini Girls with machine Guns, and dash of, 30 days of Night and you have Sarah the Impalin nailed from a pop culture stand point.
Carpe Noctum
v

I gotta tell ya...I'm starting to worry about the mentality of people in this country. When you ask Repubs just WHAT it is they like about Palin, I hear stuff like..."she hunts, she fishes, she shops at Wal-mart just like regular moms, and she's REAL." "She could've had an abortion but gave birth to a DS baby anyway." "She comes from a small town & understands small town values" But when you ask them what policies she supports that they approve of, all I get is, "she wants drilling & she's against abortion". THAT'S IT!!! With all thats facing this country after 8yrs under Bush, the fact that she bring NOTHING to the table other than a beauty queen smile, the ability to read a prepared speech & a questionable record as mayor/govenor (which somehow qualifies her to potentially lead our nation). Since the RNC, she's made a few campaign stops with McCain, where she's trotted out to make a 15min version of the speech she already gave at the RNC (complete with the same lies I might add) then MCain takes over and repeats HIS same lies about Obama raising their taxes and these people cheer like the sheep they are. Of course, when the camera pans the crowd, you see mostly older white men & women (the kind that don't use the internet to check the facts & get most of their information from Fox/Fix news & Bill O'Reilly.) Don't believe me?

Check this out: http://foxattacks.com/

We are being cheated people. Cheated out our 1 chance to REALLY make a difference in our children's lives. McCain talks about change then turns around and hires Steve Schmidt to head his campaign. The same man who ran Bush's campaign in '00. The same man who was behind the smear campaign against MCCAIN in SC by suggesting his adopted black daughter was really his illegitimate love child!!! Does that matter to McShame? HELL NO!!! Its all about winning now and ALL the stops are being pulled out. Lets face it, at his age (72) this is his last shot at the Oval office and he's going to do EVERYTHING to acheive his goal. Even run the kind of negative campaign he swore he wouldn't. Even if it means using Karl Rove behind the scenes. After all, "Bush's Brain" did such a great job beating him before, didn't he???

And now, after compaining that the media is "picking on" poor Palin for daring to question her qualifications as VP & not being "properly deferential", she's finally going to give an interview to Charlie "softball" Gibson. We've got less than 56 days to get past the hype and find out where she stands on the issues people!!!! And THIS is probably the best we're going to get??? Lemme tell you something Charlie, you better not screw this up. The lives of millions of people and of their children are literally in YOUR hands. Your reputation and that of ABC news is on the line and I guarantee that if there's even a WHIFF of pandering, there is going to be deafening howls of outrage directed at you!!! We will NOT accept softball questions or pre-prepared questions already approved by the RepubliCONs (led by Karl Rove.) Matter of fact, I think its time to take this criminal out of the equation don't you?!?

Thank you for putting the image of McCain with a bottle of baby oil in my head

"Mitchell!!!" LOL.

The Republican Party really has scooped up all the authoritarian wackjobs who want a leader to worship and obey, and given them a home. If you want your daily Two Minutes of Hate -- if you love Big Brother, or would like to -- join the Republican Party!

No dissent! No thinking! Just stereotypes, hatred and division! Hate people from big cities. Hate gay people (you already do, don't you?). Hate anybody with whom you disagree!

Today's Republican Party -- it's hip and cool!

If you stop and think about it, a woman who is a right wing wacko is most probably damaged goods. Why would they be for the party that has old men making decisions for them about their bodies and what they should do with them.

there's only so much you can do with smoke and mirrors and crowley wants to do her part. but when it's time to govern, and the smoke clears and the mirrors are cracked and broken, there's still our sick economy, a senseless occupation of Iraq, big business looking only at its bottom line(they are among the most un-patriotic, in my opinion), veterans are still being ignored and treated alarmingly bad by us, the Gulf Coast is still in shambles, bridges and roads in America are an embarrassment, our media is a worst embarrassment, religion in America is morphing into something hideous, science in America is being deep-sixed, education is getting crumbs which is reflected by the output, we're all Americans and still don't know how to unite behind common issues: except nouns, verbs and 9/11: guiliani-style. our right-wing 'cousins' are lost in a cloud that Cheech and Chong would envy. they are simply lost. too lost to deliberate so they sabotage. too lost to debate so they distract and delay. too lost to admit failure and fault so they create more of the same. America, it's time to admit we've had enough.
