Looks like Miss. Holly Quinn five minutes after she married the Joker.

That would be Harleen Quinnzel, aka Harley Quinn

And on the subject of sarin, I definitely see a scandal behind it, but for some reason I'm also getting the impression that if it wasn't orchestrated by the far right it will certainly be used by them to bray about the ebil librul media picking on po' sarin and somehow manage to push them even further to the right than they already are.

I'm watching Washington Journal on c-span this morning and the callers are already blaming the left and the liberal media for sarah's farewell bs.

I smell a rat and it's coming from the palin speech.

when the scandal breaks, we should remember that she ducked impeachment, just like noxin did.

republicans do duck well, they get a lot of experience

Ahh sweet success.

What a stupid, sexist, meaningless post. If I could post here it wouldn't be this bullshit!

I clicked on the link for a larger picture. And sent it to all of my republican friends, and their GOPer friends. Their the ones who send me all the bullshit links about Dems. That would be the friends of my friends. They're haters. So, I sent them a little something for the 4th of July.

Sexism, a term coined in the mid-20th century,[1] refers to the belief or attitude that one gender or sex is inferior to, less competent, or less valuable than the other. It can also refer to hatred of, or prejudice towards, either sex as a whole (see misogyny and misandry), or the application of stereotypes of masculinity in relation to men, or of femininity in relation to women.[2] It is also called male and female chauvinism. Historically and across many cultures, sexism has resulted in the subjugation of women to men. Many men and women espousing feminism, masculism and other ideologies have worked toward dispelling sexist beliefs.

I'm not optimistic about a coherent answer, given your history of absurd posts; but humor me. Where are you seeing sexism? Are you specifically referring to how Ysb said that the above picture looks like Harley Quinn or the Original picture and caption?

How is either sexist?

The Nixon part, or the Palin part?

wow you sound angry!!!!!!!!!

j hunter ,wow you sound angry

That's the latest news coming down the pike...

)O(

I try not to listen to fish

Especially when I'm eating them.

that is the SCARIEST fucking picture I've seen in my life! :)

Several options

- Presidential Campaign: Can't run a prez campaign from Alaska. In Aug she starts showing up constantly in lower 48.
- Wait and see: Sarah heads home and sulks, while hopeless leaderless GOP beath a path to her door, begging her to run. That'll feed her monster ego.
- Scandal and prison

Let's hope it's the latter.

The BIG HOUSE!
Not one. Her hubb will take the hit for her. Somehow, he'll take the fall. She'll get smacked with huge legal fees and fines and maybe lose the house. If the house is the reason for it.

But rumor has it that Mike Huckabee has asked to borrow her armor for the fight against Obama.

Fuckabee's 'plumped up' quite a bit since he left the campaign trail and started working at Faux. So, if he's gonna use Miss Sarah's armor, he's gonna be needing' to do some cuttin' and weldin'!!!!

1....you cant, but she hasnt been spending all that much time in alaska anyway...and she isnt missed when she leaves

2....the only repukes that like her are the fringe...that was who started showing up at the mccain rallies...they vote, but they dont pay the bills...

3...during the campaign, alaskan bloggers brought up previously asked questions about the palin homestead....apparently it wasnt really all built by todd, and the materials and lots of labor, seemed to have come from the same guys who built the wasilla ice rink...that put the city in a 20 mil hole....seems the feds might very well be investigating that....

Miss Sarah took a lot of lessons from Ted Stevens - her 'mentor' - right???

Lesson #8 - how to get a new house or renovations for free and still stay in office (for a while).

"I should say this, that Tod doesn't have a mink Skidoo suit. But he does have a respectable Republican nylon suit, and I always tell him he'd look good in anything."

Ya know, I was thinking of Tricky Dick during her weird, jittery speech - but damn, drifty, that looks like the Joker - a really scary Joker!

Driftglass managed to capture my first reaction to this news in amber with the caption to that frightening picture. To a tee.

OTOH I didn't have the cloth coat quote from the Checkers speech going through my head, but I think Pericles put the icing on the cake with that reference.

Talk about lipstick on a pig ...

"You won't have Miz Palin to kick around anymore."

.. not likely !!

i'm sure this is just the beginning :-O

She'll be floating up to the surface.

A POLISHEd TURD!

yeech!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otgEQNI6g5g

she knew that she had to become a stay at home mom to care for the christ child

...

)O(

Damien?

WTF was that? I couldn't understand anything that the kid was bellowing into the microphone.

OT and probably a little bit premature but I'm hoping TP got this right.

http://thinkprogress.org/2009/07/03/palin-hoc...

I'm thinking they did. And it's likely the tip of the iceberg.

Talk about a bridge to nowhere, should be very entertaining seeing how far this road is before it inevitably goes off the cliff..calling Tina Fey!

Palin's demise is a victory for Americans. We ran her out of Dodge.

We've sent a message to the politicians that mediocrity and incompetence is NOT what Americans see as, 'everyman goes to Washington'.
We want something more. Intelligence, real compassion, progress.

Bush had 2 wars, unbelievable incompetence, massive debts, terrorists and what concerned the republicans? Gays getting married! Blacks in the White House, Pathetic.
The idiotic wingnut right. Idiots.
I've survived Nixon; I suffered thru Saint Reagan; I've somewhat tolerated Bush/Cheney/Rice/Lott/Frist/Delay/Ashcroft/Powell/Rumsfeld/Rove/FOX/Limbaugh/Coulter/Hannity/Malkin and I'm not sure I could do it again without exploding.
WTF were these conservaloons ever thinking when they vote against themselves and elect an Arnold Reaganegger, George W. Reagan, Sarah Raygoon?

I only fear that we haven't seen the last of Miss Priscilla from Wasilla.

I wish you were right, but it depends on which part of America you are talking about.

Personally, I have no doubt the red state zombies would vote for this vapid imbecile in a moment.

it matches her inner being! :S

...to now claim political attacks are unfair....what a bitch. Hey Sarah, here's your basketball analogy. Your shitty party with you at point guard is losing by thirty-five points late in the game and you not only quit, but you take your ball and go home.

never saw a job through, if she could help it.

he was an amoral crook, however, cant say he wasnt bright...especially when it came to foreign affairs

and he wasnt a conservative by today's standards

i dont think he could get the nomination today

Bobby Kennedy's death propelled Dicky.

Palin's demise might propel Mitt Romney.

Mittens is no Richard Nixon. Despite all of his personality quirks and psychotic paranoia, tricky Dick was actually pretty smart.

Mittens is your typical Reagan era non-thinking robot. "Just hose the dog shit off the car and lets get going! He'll be fine, it's an airtight cage!"

Sounds like republican presidential kindling to me.

and repeat that line "tricky Dick was actually pretty smart."

Being a bigot and paranoid does not make you stupid. Look at all of the brilliant scientists who worked for Hitler and the Soviets.

Furthermore, Reagan was great on camera, but we all know how smart he was?

the call to the 'silent majority' did, along with the media's contempt for Hubert Humphrey and LBJohnson's lack of support.

I'd hope not.

Yow!! Almost tossed my cookies over that photo !! If only this were the last we'll see of her. I'll have popcorn & diet soda at the ready for the next act of this farce.

Sweet Jesus, that picture is hilarious!

baby jesus got vertigo while listening to that speech

Then I think we have something in common. I had to hold on to the island in the kitchen to keep from falling off the chair.

Awwww, did the political spotlight burn your little tushy? If you can't stand the heat GET BACK IN THE KITCHEN!!!

So, the big, bad MSM is making you feel bad? (by using your own words against you). So you pick up your ball and jacks and go home? In other words, YOU CUR AND RUN WHEN THINGS GET TOUGH!!! I guess it's ok for the 135K troops still in Iraq & Afghanistan to go home to THEIR families now? "Hey Sarge, the insurgents are hurling insults at me! I'm going home now!"

Oh, BTW, I like the way Faux News is spinning it; "Palin won't run for re-election!" Nothing about her quitting mid-term and leaving Alaska in the lurch. Or announcing it on "take out the trash day" (on 4th of July weekend, no less, the ultimate "take out the trash" scenario).

One more thing; PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE start raising money and a "draft Sarah" movement to drain (im)Moral Majority money and voters away from Mitten & Huckleberry in 2012! Where do I sign?

I hereby announce that the only way for me to blog more effictively is to quit blogging all together.

That was pretty funny.

Duly noted, WKW!

:)

-- if it wasn't for internet technology, blogs and internet bloggers, Sarah Palin could well be the POTUS right now.

She just wants to make sure that all U.S. Americans have maps!

Such as... the Iraq... Putin rears his head... Freedom... big government... South Africa.

(Why was Palin talking about national security in the context of her job as governor?)

[Comment Deleted By Administration For Violation Of Terms Of Service]

At least she didn't say: "I am not a crook!"

Right after she went off on that riff about refrigerator magnets.

Man, I just cracked myself up! (Sorry, I'm OK now.)

are very prescient... just like wisdom from Starbucks' cups.
:)

True. I like the cups that tell me my coffee's hot.

; )

about the woman we all want to forget about, on the earlier post.
Why can't you all just forget about her.

C'mon, Ron...she loves America.

; )

even more. Are you going to make a fuss about me? Not.

I'm teasing you. I'm trying to be nice.

I know but this is craaazzzy!

sara has given america so much to think about.

kicking her.

Way to many easy punchlines to ignore.

And besides, she's earned every single one of them.

the military not quitting just before she quit her job...

I was over at YouTube bashing Palin. I'm very nasty over there. Some people deserve it. Man, they just don't think: full of GOP talking points and ...well, nothing upstairs ...ether.

How long until her legal defense fund gets started. You know there'll be one.

he doesn't need it since the DoJ gave him a pass.

She's gone, done in by the GOP who hated her after she cost them so much. Along with the others.

But like Hall N Oates, She's Gone.

They called her last night, and offered her a deal.

One of them does time, likely.

The charge? Using the house building shit is ok, but there's also the Terrorist Affiliations.

Under the Patriot Act, how's it gonna look to a dying GOP to have their OWN VP CHOICE for the last election and her husband being nailed for domestic terrorism?

So she gets the call, they drop the dom ter, for house building illegalities, and only Toddy does time.

And today, she stands quivering, and delivers a publitude of shit in fear, soiling her panties as it goes, and STILL tries to blame others for her failures.

She's toast. Like in Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Finis. Kaput. Finito. Done.

Never to walk the politico plank no mo.

And lucky to have a life. In the old days, they just KILLED people.

Remember? Jack. Martin. Bobby. Others. Even Minnesota Senators.

Power is ugly. And Mz Palin thought she was bigger than power. And now, she's gone.

Thanks Hall N Oates. *G* (google it yer own danged selves, lazy butts). *G*

I fail to see how any prosecutor can bypass Sarah and charge Todd with anything. It was Sarah who had the spending authority as Mayor to help grease the construction company for help with Todd's building project. It was Sarah as Governor who could potentially steer lucrative contracts their way. Todd may have improperly sat in on a lot of meetings he had no business being at, but he couldn't sign any checks to my knowledge.

p.d.s. gets d.p.d. curry to make an interesting concession on the grassy knoll...

My money's on Allen Dulles as being behind the assassination. Though ousted by Kennedy as Director of CIA just weeks before, he still had connection in an agency that was after all designed to be clandestine, and whose officials and agents operated with sufficient independence that they might continue to follow his orders even after he was officially gone. As V.P. Nixon had had oversight over the agency during the Eisenhower administration, and could have seen to it that all key personnel were loyal to the Repuke party first and the constitution second, third or not at all. (similar to the stacking of the DoJ under Bush)

Other suspects like the Mob or Castro have been put forward as having been involved, and they may have been peripherally. But only someone with connections in the intelligence and law enforcement communities could have acted to suppress real evidence and plant false trails after the fact of the assassination.

And the murderous bastard Dulles was actually appointed to the Warren Commission. How f#@ked up is that?

e. howard hunt named names...

Was on his deathbed, had nothing to lose, and could easily have been tossing out one more red herring before his demise. Didn't he blame frickin' LBJ? Once again, you can claim almost anybody to have been involved on the periphery, but if you're looking for the spider at the center of the web that person MUST logically have had high-level connections in the intelligence, law enforcement, and possibly military apparatus.

I doubt that LBJ had any more of a chance of something like making JFK's brain (the most important evidence, especially WRT the direction of the fatal shot) disappear than did Castro or any other non-government suspect you might name. Again, the standard analysis of motive, means and opportunity would point to Dulles.

Allen Dulles' profile on Political Friendster.

wouldn't be surprised

Did a Scandal Sink the U.S.S. Palin?
by Max Blumenthal

Many political observers in Alaska are fixated on rumors that federal investigators have been seizing paperwork from SBS in recent months, searching for evidence that Palin and her husband Todd steered lucrative contracts to the well-connected company in exchange for gifts like the construction of their home on pristine Lake Lucille in 2002. The home was built just two months before Palin began campaigning for governor, a job which would have provided her enhanced power to grant building contracts in the wide-open state.

SBS has close ties to the Palins. The company has not only sponsored Todd Palin's snowmobile team, according to the Village Voice's Wayne Barrett, it hired Sarah Palin to do a statewide television commercial in 2004.

Though Todd Palin told Fox News he built his Lake Lucille home with the help of a few "buddies," according to Barrett’s report, public records revealed that SBS supplied the materials for the house. While serving as mayor of Wasilla, Sarah Palin blocked an initiative that would have required the public filing of building permits—thus momentarily preventing the revelation of such suspicious information.

Just months before Palin left city hall to campaign for governor, she awarded a contract to SBS to help build the $13 million Wasilla Sports Complex. The most expensive building project in Wasilla history, the complex cost the city an additional $1.3 million in legal fees and threw it into severe long-term debt. For SBS, however, the bloated and bungled project was a cash cow.

Yes we will. Palin thinks she can hide but her ego and big mouth won't let her. it won't be long before she is out and about sticking her foot in her mouth. I can't wait, it ought to be a great show.

She's going down the way Ted Stevens should have gone down!

Bullshit, don't believe it.

I've been posting links to various C&L articles on facebook, and one of my friends (a conservative) replied to the one story about Sanford, saying something like "Clinton didn't get that kind of negative attention from the media." I'm serious.

some people are saying Nixon was actually a smart guy.

Proves everybodys point that the Reslugs just plug their ears and shut their lying eyes to any truth.

Russia to Open Airspace to U.S. for Afghan War
By PETER BAKER


The move is one of the most concrete achievements in the effort to rebuild strained U.S.-Russian relations.

[Putin says: "Don't pay attention to history, America! Feed your war profiteers until your totally unable to feed your people. We won't mind."]

Palin looks great, like a pig with lipstick on.

The family resemblance.
republicanism is a mental illness!

I think I am seeing the preparation for a new talk radio/tv show host. She will be able to firm up her base (and I do mean 'base' as in 'mean and ignoble'), make buttloads of money (ala Rust Limburger), avoid political mistakes as a sitting governor that would come back to haunt her, and relocate closer to the center of the political universe. She'll spend time visiting foreign countries (with photo ops with world leaders), visit military personnel, get exposure in the controlled environment of her own tv studio and start rehabilitating her image as a know-nothing.
I don't see an end to my misery. I think it's just about to begin in earnest.

Must have been some horrific nightmare to put this image in your head. It's fitting, LOL, but talk about heebie jeebies. Gives ME the Shivers.

andy worthington has the sordid details.

I hear the folks on the web....They are just warming up to kick the Pail...the Brillow, the little whore, and cock the Trigger.....Secede...Please....we're expectin' Putin to keep an eye on Alaska! There is a Coming Insurrection!

Has anybody heard John McCain's response to this?
