Sarah Palin to be part of the National Council for a New America
By John Amato Monday May 04, 2009 5:00pmFirst it was killin' a turkey and now a dead bear. You betcha!
Anyway, Sarah Palin plans to join the National Council for a New America:
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will be part of the National Council for a New America, an attempt by leaders in Congress and potential 2012 presidential candidates to rebrand the struggling party.
"I am pleased to announce that Governor Palin has joined the National Council for a New America's panel of experts," said House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (Va.) today. "When NCNA was announced last week, we spoke about a dynamic organization that worked to constantly bring in new people and innovative ideas."
Sen. John McCain (Ariz.), who shared the national ticket with Palin, had hinted at Palin's involvement during a conference call last Thursday announcing the National Council's formation.
But, her office had been largely silent in the intervening days and Cantor's office made clear only that she had been invited to join not that she had accepted.
Palin's involvement in the group will help rebut the idea that the National Council is an organ of the establishment wing of the party set up to keep the Palins and Gov. Mark Sanford's (S.C.) -- both of whom are more hardline conservatives -- from taking over control of the party.
Her appearance on the panel is just window dressing -- some useful PR for Herself. I do believe she would have agreed with the dittohead who said he thought America doesn't need education. Only Rush Limbaugh.
Sarah will be right at home with the wingnut base that attends these townhalls. She was a complete failure as a VP candidate and had no ideas of any kind except to call Obama a terrorist lover. (Well, that was actually Karl Rove's idea. My mistake.) She might think about animals just a wee bit more, don't you think?
David Shuster brings us Sarah Palin's extremely creepy turkey pardoning and post-pardoning interview from Wasilla, Alaska. The whole thing plays like something out of the Twilight Zone or the latter stages of Fargo.

She's back!
I was hoping though they would trot her out closer to the congressional midterms.
"New America" of which they speak? It seems to be made up of the same trolling idiots.
is the new America that she speaks of is drawn without Alaska and Texas?
I think it may be just Alaska and Texas without the rest, or possibly just Alaska. She should be more specific.
buying slurpees on credit cards.
This video is for you:

The Rethugs actually have a good idea albeit stolen: "let's start connecting with our voters to see what they want or need". Of course, they keep forgetting that they actually have to have Rethugs at this thing, which of course is the downfall of the whole thing.
Woot, get Sarah out there for more face time!!!!
The more these jackasses speak, the more likely we are to get even more seats in 2010.
Oh, and geez, let's add this little bit of news here too....
The Sarah Palin Gun!
and her new gun:

(With the greatest of apologies from Abbybwood for the bad acting...)
Is that YOU?
If so, not what I expected...I dunno exactly how I did picture ya, but I didn't picture you as so...*hem and haw*...uhm...hawt.
(Maybe it's because you've dropped the nursing background- or at least I think you have- and I just pictured the nurses I've worked with.)
My friend and I shot it while dwelling in Westhampton Beach, New York just prior to the November 2008 election.
I just couldn't stomach the thought of Sarah Palin being a heart beat away, so we conjured up this little video.
True. It is moi' playing S.P.
Oy!!!!
Onward Christian Soldiers ... a perfect musical accompaniment!
You have a future in Hollywood!
F**k you and your "New America". The old one is just fine, as long as we scrape off the greedy scum that has built up in the halls of congress and the SCOTUS. These individuals just seem to have a problem with representative democracy and the rule of law.
Yepper! The only problem with America is fascist assholes like her, and the morons and dupes who follow them.
If those rich fuckers gave back all the money they stole from the rest of us, America would be a prosperous place again!
She means the OLD America. Right? She's conservative right? Or is she planning to totally pimp America out for the kids now?
It can't be a New America if they want to turn back the clock to the Stone Age.
She truly is the gift that keeps on giving.
Oh Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, thank you. This is gonna be more fun than choking a turkey.
Somebody start a pool on first cat-fight with Mittens.
"When NCNA was announced last week, we spoke about a dynamic organization that worked to constantly bring in new people and innovative ideas."
How does a former Vice Presidential candidate qualify as new people?
And how does claiming that Obama is "Pallin' around with terrorists" qualify as a new idea?
If the GOP would vow not to start wars to gain a political advantage that would be a good start.
here's sarah now heading a group of gop'ers
on how to prevent a penis and a vagina from
marrying without the help of the voodoo doc.
Apparently they want to re brand the GOP with someone who represents everything that is wrong with the party:
-pander to the right wing base. not the middle
-against science. Thinks we should explore teaching creationism in schools
-ethics cloud
-rejected by USA in 2008
-husband was part of party that wants to secede from US. She spoke at at least one of their events
-she is for smaller gov't while at the same time being Governor of the highest per capita recipient of gov't dollars.
-while mayor of wasilla, the public safety charged sexual assault victims for forensics
steve in alaska
... the important thing is that she is THEIR dolt.
Think of the fun the Late Night guys will have. Think of the fun we'll have.
Remember, everyone laughed at what a dolt Dubya was until 9/11.
No one is stupid enough to be disqualified from office as a REPUBLICAN.
Stupidity is a desirable trait for the GOP. The dumber, the better.
...and won't likely stop any time soon.
National Council for a New America?
Why do we need a new America? Don't you love the current America, you goddamn communist?
That's what you get for living so close to Russia.
The New America is when they secede. They'll call it West America. Like West Virginia only dumber.
Hey! California is pretty far west, and we want nothing to do with these lunatics. Besides, I don't think they should have any right to the name America. None of them knows what it means.
Not with a bang, but with a bunch of simps!
Rachel Maddow is dissecting these idiots now.
After alienating and purging all but the most insane, what are they re-branding? Are they just trying to make the same old BS sound better?
No.
They are trying to re-write history.
Ejoomicayshunalizing hurts muh brain!
I can't decide which is more grotesque ... Palin, or the unfortunate dead bear on the back of her couch.
Yuck!
God loving conservatives aren't happy unless they're a killin God's creatures doncha know, holly molee!
God wants them to kill, thats why he made so many creatures.
for bagging a Bigfoot:
WASILLA, AK - Records and eyewitnesses have come to light that prior to announcing her candidacy for the Vice Presidency; Sarah Palin shot a Bigfoot from a helicopter.
A government helicopter was seen flying low over the Chugach National Park with what witnesses described as “a sexy librarian shooting out the side.” Employees at a local bait shop report seeing a similar woman only hours before carrying an infant in a camouflage Baby Bjorn.
The Bigfoot, or Sasquatch as it is known in scientific circles, was found dead on the outskirts of the park, just south of Wasilla, Alaska. Preliminary forensics reports confirm that an adult male Sasquatch was shot in the face with Palin’s trademark 5mm M4 Carbine Assault Rifle.
Environmental groups are in an uproar at the hunting death of a rare and notoriously reclusive species. Efforts to have the Sasquatch placed on the endangered species list have met with repeated opposition from state legislature, since protecting the ‘Missing Link’ could be seen as validating evolution.
Conservatives have immediately rallied to their party’s new star, citing that gun ownership and hunting are indelible parts of American culture. Indeed this point is hard to argue, as John Adams was notorious for having captured what he called a “Skunk Ape” and killing it with his bare hands on the White House lawn in front of a paying audience.

the late, great, philosopher George Carlin, religion has never had too much of a problem with killing. The more devout people are, the more that murder is negotiable.
You don't think the Christofascists in this country would be killing in the name of God if they could get by with it?
Yuck is right! Tacky!!
The dead one or the one with the mustache?
And what's with the dude wearing his shades indoors? It always bugs me when people do that.
He was up smoking reefer all night. That or the Mrs. punched him in the eye when she caught him with Lurlene from the titty bar.
Jimmy Kimmel had some edited footage that wasn't shown in that clip above.

Hey Boo Boo, that weren't no pickinick basket!
Yeah baby!
I loved that, Beaverboy!
"First it was killin' a turkey and now a dead bear. You betcha!"
Don't forget the ariel wolf hunting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQobIUE1zTU
I would love to put the "brave" conservatives on equal footing with the animals. Unarmed toe to toe with a bear or in the middle of a pack of wolves. No guns or helicopters.
Not only is this unnecessary and selfish, it’s a cruel, vile, disgusting form of butchery. It’s not about ending a wolf’s life peacefully. Usually, the wolf receives only crippling and painful non-fatal wounds and writhes on the ground before a final round of shots finishes it off. The helicopters don’t provide good vantage points for shooting moving targets, so they run the wolves down until they’re too exhausted to keep going, then the hunter shoots them.
Palin is cruel.........

Caribou Barbie is one sick lady.
And her voice can strip paint from a wall.
She's too much of an idiot to come close to winning. There may be another piece of GOP filth using her has a magnet for all the disgust we rightly feel for the right wing.
I'm thinking it's Jeb Bush, but I could be wrong.
It can't be Patel. All you have to do is say the words Exorcism, Katrina, or volcano research, and it's over for him.
The thought of another Bush anywhere near the presidency is odious to say the least. I am afraid that the fix is in though, and that his days are guaranteed to the ruin of us all.
got a lot of baggage, although I agree, that doesn't seem to matter to repukes.
Bankrupting an S&L, 2000 voter suppression, a wife with a prescription drug problem, drunken fuckup kids, (hey-they're Bushes!), but the biggest millstone is his sadistically incompetent brother, shrub. Oh, and don't forget brother Neil, bankrupter of Silverado and recipient of freebies from Asian hookers. Republican family values.
continue the petro-agriculture system of farming and the Cheez Doodle and Pepsi Cola diet that it services. The public is absolutely zombified in the face of this problem. Perhaps a result of the diet itself.
"Celebrating statehood, 50 years of statehood that we're celebrating" "Honoring statehood we've been a state for 50 years" "you do good so many good things for so many other states also, ya got that patriotism in ya that people just respect"
Gawd. Listening to her is worse than Chimp.
How painfully obvious is it she is overcompensating for her pro-secessionist America hating husband and talking for the cameras? Could be anymore obvious? Obvious except to that dumbass bear, the one with the mustache, not the dead one.
Records show appointees gave Perry $5 million
But governor’s office says donations are not considered in job assignments
By MATT STILES
Copyright 2009 Houston Chronicle
May 4, 2009, 6:43AM
AUSTIN — Gov. Rick Perry has accepted nearly $5 million in political campaign donations from people he appointed to state boards and commissions, including some in plum jobs that set policy for state universities, parks and roads, records show.
Nearly half the appointee donations came from people serving as higher education regents, including more than $840,000 from those at the University of Texas System, according to a Houston Chronicle review of campaign-finance records.
Political patronage is nothing new for Texas governors in both political parties. The contributions are a legal and common practice, though it has been fodder for critics over the years.
“The reason people should care is that it would be nice to think that government functioned as a meritocracy,” said Andrew Wheat of the watchdog group Texans for Public Justice, which has tracked appointee donations in the past.

Palin to be on "New America's panel of experts,"
Two words that go together like fish & bicycles: "Palin" and "expert".
A "panel" on which Palin would be considered an expert? The jokes write themselves sometimes.
...'cause your question is a tough one. How about a panel of drywall?
"With experts like that, who needs experts?"
"New America" I can live with - just as long as they don't start talking about a New Pearl Harbor. Well, another New Pearl Harbor.
This should have any Repub "moderates" that are still left heading for the exits.
the last refuge..." has been playing in the Republican party since its inception

Sarah Palin honored by NRA with special Alaska-themed assault rifle
No really!
Cause nothing shows God how much you love him than polluting his planet and shootin up his critters!
I clicked on the link. Pictured is an Alaskan Hunter all-white AR-15 assault rifle ... interesting.
Why an all-white rifle? Perhaps it's a subliminal message to appeal to gun-loving racists.
It wouldn't surprise me in the least.
Not only that, it fires a .50 cal Beowulf shell which was designed to stop cars at checkpoints.
Just the thing for those traffic jams in downtown Juneau or keeping an unwanted son-in-law at a distance.
The GOP could call it "The Nutjob GOP Variety Hour."
New America Motto....
- One Nation, Under Darkness, with liberty and justice for old white, heterosexual, rich, Christian men with guns………with the I hold-the-exclusive-truth-and-you-don't attitude.
Selling-The End Is Nigh T-shirts..wow
Eric Cantor-says to Palin-"While you're at it, get me a diet Coke and a donut with sprinkles."
Who'd a thunk it, huh?
What a joke--hahahahaha
Shouldn't "heterosexual" be replaced with "closet homosexuals?"
Perfect
It means “I demand empathy from you but I have none to spare for you”.
These clowns are in the market for a "New America" because they damn near destroyed the old one. And now that they've discovered things like the "rule of law" and "the Constitution" aren't passing fancies in "Old America," they need to create a place where they can live by their ideals without being arrested.
New Ideals in the New America! Just what Laura Ingraham wants to hear!
New definitions for "freedom" and "principles". New definitions for "patriot", "bravery", and "honorable". Every possible LIE to get the republican black hole growing again. I'm encouraged to see that America may be going a different way this time.
ah schucks...gooddie goodie...fishin hole...motor sports...stuffed bear heads...heart of america...give me a break.
How can this nation get behind this woman in any non sexual way? She's a basketcase!
Repugs don't see anything in a non-sexual way.
cuz today, the repugs put sessions in as the new minority leader on the senate judiciary committee
its not even tuesday, and we get a twofer
the woman is an idiot
makes sense that an idiot like cantor would admire her
What is up with Eric Cantor? Does he have some kind of malabsorption syndrome? His physical appearance makes a little alarm bell go off in my mind - he is a bit too thin and his skin is kind of oddly bronze.
They've chosen Sarah Palin as an expert. That says it all.
Alaska, being ungovernable, doesn't need a governor. It's a ceremonial position, like Mayor of Beverly Hills or Queen of England.
Sure does give Mrs. Palin a great deal of free time.
She's like herpes, will just never go away.
The only new America I want to see is one with out the southern " Red States " and they can then take Moose hunter Palin and loonie tunes Bachman off our hands too .
The same pack of crooks and liars that helped bring our country to it's knees are now going to make everything better? If you believe that then as the old song said: I've got some ocean front property in Arizona for sale!
hahahahahaha I really believe that republicanism is a mental disorder. It stops them from being able to do anything for anyone other then themselves at everyone else's expense!
Kick these clowns to the curb or better put them in jail where they belong!
So Sarah Palin is an "expert". If Hollywood had any guts, a right-wing think tank would be the next "Office".
Right wing think tank = morons on the move.
Know the difference between a post May, 2009 Republican and a Republican of the National Council of a new America? LIPSTICK
Its still a PIG folks. Still controlled by the Southern Baptist and Evangelicals. So the Democrat hate, anti-gay and anti-abortion hate mongering continues from their pulpits...under a new title, headed by JEB BUSH and the same old lying, decietful people who screwed up the nation the last 8 years...this time they are wearing some of Palin's LIPSTICK!
Her personal life will be a great roadmap for the repugs.
Let's dress Joe the Plumber up in a bear costume, drop him in the middle of the Alaskan wilderness, then send Sarah Failin' out huntin' with her .50 cal "beowolf". Much hilarity will ensue, and its a sure solution to at least one problem in this country.
She couldn't even handle an interview with a motorcycle mechanic! Goddamn!
What a complete train wreck of a woman. Just looking at this video from November makes we want to vommit. This fuckweek actually thiks she is a good leader and mother.
That is way I proclaim her Palin the Terrible I.
People should run for cover when they outlaw sewers in Alaska in favor of cesspools.
When the G-NO-P Good for Nothing Party goes to the polls, if the ballot says NCNA the G-NO-Pers won't know who to vote for.
RNC will be the Repugs Now Crawling away in defeat once again.
Please bring the wolf murderer, back so the GOP is seen further irrelevant.
That woman is not wearing a suit-coat in her office. In fact she is wearing jeans! OMG! Has she no respect for her office? Does she not believe in a dress code? /snark
Is it me or isn't this exactly the kind of politician that killed the Republican Party to begin with, (if not "the one")?
Isn't it this entrenched, no-compromise, fundamentalism that the Party is trying to separate itself from?
I predict that the "Sarah Palin Show" will attract the right-wing loonies to these events and that she will absorb, like a thirsty sponge, all of the attention this pathetic little group can muster.
Here's a bold new idea. "Diversity" you doughy white pantloads!
Before that youngest daughter, "Oak Tree", or whatever her name is, gets preggo!
This group sounds a lot like the People for the New American Century (PNAC). More neocon bullshit.
If she is running for president in 2012, I'd vote for her. What the hell?!
