"But Glenn Beck I have great respect for. He's a hoot. He gets his message across in such a clever way. And he's so bold -- I have to respect that. He calls it like he sees it, and he's very, very, very effective."

Really, I can live without funny!

Holy shit.

It would have to be one where the final episode involves armageddon or something. So 11 episodes of "gosh darnit" hilarity, followed by a blackadder-style last one.

Honestly - that Palin gained the amount of support she did during the campaign (as opposed to being universally laughed out of town) leaves me decidedly uneasy about the prospect of that decision being placed in the hands of the electorate.

The nutters are becoming more influential than ever.

Unfortunately, every campaign rally would probably end up escalating into angry mobs of white people with AK-47s rioting across whatever city they're in. But while these crazies may be more influential in the media these days, luckily their numbers place them in the minority, and they still only get one vote each...

i think that the phrase for all of these so-called trumpeters of democracy is 'hoist by their own petard'.

it'd work pretty well as a blackadder-type thing - with beck pulling palin's strings. who's baldrick in this, though?

From the msnbc piece:

Palin described thinking the Couric interview would be lighthearted and fun. "It was supposed to be ... a working mom speaking with [another] working mom and the challenges that we have with teenage daughters," she told "The Oprah Winfrey Show" in an interview broadcast Monday.Wallace told msnbc that this is "rationalization or justification or fiction." "We set up this interview on the day of the U.N. General Assembly, with a walk-and-talk in front of the U.N. It was never made as two working gals ... that was supposed to be to highlight her foreign policy savvy."

....


BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Wait. Wait....

Let me post something. Please make sure you've swallowed any liquids before viewing this....

ROFLMAO...

Like. Oh. My. God.

Whatever.

Holy spitballs Batman - is this it? This is what we're all getting worried about?!

Quick - someone get me a barrel - I've got some dumb fucking fish to shoot here.

"We need to get the polar bears off the endangered list, so we can drill there!"

bahahaha

[Deckard]

First things first...

Second,


Finally, one of the comments says:

To be fair, you could have easily got equally retarded comments from Obama supporters.

But would there really have been such rich pickings?

I mean, really?

The sad thing is that, in fairness, I'd have to agree with the comment Deckard posted about that many Obama supporters would be just as ignorant. I remember during the primaries, a good friend of my wife and I was talking about why she liked Hillary Clinton and was nervous about Obama. One of her reasons that I remember her listing was that "Obama has ties to the mob, doesn't he?" Granted, that's not an example of an Obama supporter being ignorant, but I do believe that she voted for Obama in the Presidential election - despite his apparent ties to the mafia. She's a sweet girl, but that was sad. Anyway, lots of ignorant people out there.
