First, the White House needs to avoid triumphalism.

You mean the way Commander Codpiece eschewed triumphalism in declaring “Mission Accomplished”?  Way ahead of you, sister.

Jeez, someone give Snowpack Snookie the vaudeville hook already!

We should continue to use our intelligence assets

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Sorry. Palin talking about the use of “our” intelligence assets is like a dog talking about the use of “our” thumbs.

@Strange, regarding Caribou Barbie:

this is obviously not her work-product

I think its obvious that nothing is her ‘work’ product. Because that would imply she can work at something.

But, yes, credit where credit is due.

Palin Derangement Syndrome, Take #4,527.

Gahh.

I love it when people who have never seen the elephant tell those in the midst of a revolution how to handle it. 

For a secesh she’s kind of a pussy.  Willing to tell other people how to do it, but doesn’t stand up and do it herself.

And hides behind Facebook posts and Fox “News” anchors to do what she does do.

Poor girl, the world is turning on without her, and no one’s watching how hard she’s dancing.

lessee, what did she leave out…
oh, yeah:
1. look both ways before crossing the street
2. wait an hour after eating before swimming
3. always wear clean underwear, just in case

Porter-Ville Putz, would you be so kind as to fuck off? Forever? We’re kind of over your witless drive-by trollery. Thank you!

@ Strange—I hope you’ll post your thoughts on it. Don’t let my dashed-off snark pre-empt it.

Face it, dude. She only “knows” what she’s being told. And the guy who’s telling her is an Obama-hating think-tank guru. Facts is facts.

Thanks, but it’s on the record in the comments here. You done it up good. I’ll catch the next wave. ;->

Heh. C4P is giving Sarah kudos for using the word “triumphalism” in her post. Doesn’t take much to excite those folks.

I love it when people who have never seen the elephant tell those in the midst of a revolution how to handle it.

MikeJ, did you mention elephants on purpose to make me laugh?  Because I did, on account of that’s the first image I conjured upon reading the word “triumphalism”.  I guess it’s a combination of trunk and trumpet and elephant and just elephant vocalizing in general.

It sounds like she’s going to run after all.

I don’t even want Sarah’s opinion on Wasilla’s affairs, let alone world affairs.

McCain’s campaign quickly discovered in ‘08 that the nicely wrapped package contained a stale fruitcake.

I am sure Sec. Clinton and the entire US defense apparatus were anxiously checking their facebook news feeds to see how to handle the “next steps” in Libya, and are all breathing easier now that they have some concrete direction from America’s Backseat Driver (tm).

My worst nightmare is that she doesn’t run, because then she will never get the well-deserved utter ass-whopping in an electoral situation and become the female Bill Kristol.

then she will never get the well-deserved utter ass-whopping in an electoral situation

She’ll never recognize it as such, even if it happens. As far as I’m concerned 2008 was an epic ass-whooping in an electoral situation for her; she dragged the ticket down, though McCain was doing fine losing all by himself.

“She’ll never recognize it as such, even if it happens.”

And it’s not like we’ve seen the end of Bill Kristol, either.

MikeJ, did you mention elephants on purpose to make me laugh?

Mike was writing in Civil War code—Secesh is self-explanatory and “seeing the elephant” was the term Yankee veterans used after they had been in combat to distinguish themselves from those who had not.

I absolutely love how the C4P’ers claim that by posting on facebook (jesus fucking christ wearing a cheerleading outfit, are we back in high school?) Palin is carving a new path, demonstrating tough leadership and scaring the black out of Obama because ... well, it’s facebook and facebook is an awesome messaging machine or something.

God I love the artwork for this post.  It’s brilliant.

Mike was writing in Civil War code….

Aha!  So it was initially hilarious to me in a private onomatopoeic way that has no relation to actual real life.  And now it is interesting to me because I know a historical thing I didn’t know before.  I think that either way this is a win for me.  Thank you!
