Baked Alaska and Floriduh

I think Tbogg is onto something here. Citing Palin’s hand-picked protégé Joe Miller’s relentless pimping of his rugged outdoorsy-ness, moose-bloodlust, etc., Tbogg says:

We get it. You’re an outdoorsman and you’re all macho and shit with your manscaped beard, but, seriously, after the last couple of years of listening to that babbling snowbilly grifter natter on about your Alabama-with-a-snowpack hellstate, we’re kinda of Alaska’d out about the Great White North and we wish you guys would just take our tax dollars and shut the fuck up about your bullshit last frontier self-sufficiency.

Yep. And yet, I pity the Alaskans not named Joe W. Miller and Sarah Palin, for they are being stereotyped by the Snowflake Snooki Moose-Killin’, Salmon-Slayin’ Minstrel Show.

I know what it’s like to have your state thrust onto the national political stage because of the antics of a handful of dumbasses. No one who lived in Florida during the 2000 election recount will ever forget the shame of “Floriduh”—the officials staring at hanging chads in slack-jawed amazement, the Condo Commandos accidentally voting for Pat Buchanan, etc.

I feel your pain, Alaska.

70% of Alaska is owned and administered by the Federal Government. It has a population half that of Metro Pittsburgh. Its primary products are oil, halfwit politicians and cold air currents.

There is no earthly reason why Alaska should have a Governor, let alone an ex-Governor and two US Senators.

There is also no reason why America should take moral direction from people who have salt licks in their kitchens and think plaid is a color.

There was an anti-abortion parental notification initiative on the ballot yesterday which helped drive Teatard turnout. If Sitka mayor Scott McAdams is smart, he’ll court the pro-choice and women’s groups smarting over that result to mobilize and GOTV for AK Dems by reminding them, THIS IS THE KIND OF SCARY SHIT THAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON’T VOTE, PEOPLE!

I love this. I really hope it catches on.

Thank you, Betty, for remembering those of us living in the hinterlands—all over the United States. There are little spots of blue out there, floating in the vast red seas of the obese, ignorant, misinformed, and frightened double-wide dwellers. Please don’t ever forget about us, even when our idiot governors threaten secession!

Similarly, not everyone in Illinois has a Dondi hairdo and is on the prowl for graft 24/7. Most of us, sure—but not all!

Hey look what I found in the comments over at Huffpo in a post about the Sarah endorsement.

“These are the same people who talked about the PUMAs in scary ominious tones and maneuvered McCain into picking Palin in the first place (Greg Mitchell had an excellent article up about it here the other day) when what you were seeing was actually a few deeply disappointed Hillary fans who were ultimately Democrats and remembered it, fleshed out by more than a few participants in Rush Limbaugh’s Operation Chaos. Rumproast blog infliterated their convention - a whopping 60 PUMAs and half of them known r@cists and Republicans and they all convened at Burger King to chow down on whoppers….speaking of someone buying a “whopper”. The websites were funded by Republicans who laughed about pretending to be women democrats (it became their new favorite hobby.)”

Woot!
