They really cleaned up Levi.

Who nominated her as vice-president of the United States?

I am really growing to hate “hockey moms.”

Puck you!

John “Sheer Guts” McCain ... now that’s a man I can believe in!!!

Country first.

Just want to make sure you guys got that.

Exactly.  Iraq.  These are not good words for her.

Troops! Track! Trig!

Say it with me y’all ...

Troops, Track, Trig!!!!!

Track.  Also not a good word.

Track.  Please, for the love of god, stop saying Track.

Didn’t she play the mom in Malcom in the Middle?

Let’s make up names for the next twelve children.

I think they killed the retard baby.

Remember ... More wars mean more school desks. Never forget.

Okra.
Befuddles.
Snow Plow.
Willow.
Unctuous.

Wait, is one of them called Willow already?

Snow machine!

It makes snow!

And he’s an eskimo!

Nose rubs!

Snow Machine
Caribou
Coho Salmon

Small towns are for school desks ...

I’m always proud of America, too.  I need a hug.

Fuck, she said “hockey mom,” again and said she was in the “PTA”!

She just said “hockey mom” two more times and PTA again.

Bristol’s kids:
Wranglers
501s
Guess

Let’s make up names for the next twelve children.

Talladega , Daytona ,  Rockingham, Lug Nut ....

code pink in the house

We look down on that experience because it DID NOTHING TO PREPARE YOU TO RUN THE GORRAM COUNTRY, you idiot.

Now the little girl was cute, treating little Trig like a baby doll. Guarantee that makes Fox news.

Ewwwwww, the little girl just rubbed spit into Trig’s head. WTF?  I don’t get Alaskan ways.

A friend of mine has taken to calling Sarah Palin “Caribou Barbie.” Which I suppose is sexist. But then again, so is denying women access to abortion. So my friend is still a better feminist than anyone in the GOP. Not that that’s a high hurdle to clear or anything.

I didn’t watch the speech. Didn’t have any Compazine on hand.

Did she just say ... Joh McCain is a sane man?

“the same man”
an asshole?

Here it comes… media force field.

Holy fuck , I shoulda stayed at the casino. This woman’s voice is as obnoxious as her views.

Republicans are like Orcs with less charisma.

“Leave the nation better than we found it.”

The way the Republicans left it?

Born-again feed coming in 1 ... 2 ... 3 ...

So basically she challenged Republican corruption her whole life ... even though she didn’t.

I need another drink.  I can’t take how she says “veto.”

Well, she opened herself up tonight, hope she’s ready for the media, and more importantly, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden dominating the quotes.

Holy fuck, she rolled out the bridge to nowhere bullshit again. 

i want to kill people.

lucky she is wearing a skirt otherwise liar liar’s pants would be up in mother fucking flames

boo! Terrorists! boo! Drill! drill!

Drill here! Drill Now!!!

POW!!!

HER PROMPTER BAGGED!!

But now it’s back. Shit.

So basically the whole platform is to drill the fuck out of everything and get Alaska ready for the end times?

I’m in.

look at all those white people laughing at the black man….boo Obama is black man with devoted followers

Red meat!

Get your red meat here!

There is nothing funnier than watching Repubs cheer John McCain.

It’s the hiss .... listen for the hiss ...

Gonna be fun to watch the Obama counterattack. He’s been brilliant tactically and strategically. I bet his advisers spotted 32 different exposed flanks.

must. stop. watching. going. to. kill. tv.

She should have quit fifteen minutes ago.

I bet his advisers spotted 32 different exposed flanks.

I agree. The easiest thing in the world is to ingratiate yourself to the cheers of the crowd, but the fact-checking will begin soon.

She should have quit fifteen minutes ago.

Yup, she hit a nil on the head and now trails off to McCain ... she had them panting for the next bone ... now it’s back to the drone.

Okay, it’s game on, Dems.  She just proved she wants a fight. Bring it.

I’m waiting on the crazy bitch to start rolling around on the floor speaking in tongues.

Ya know, John McCain was a POW, srsly, he was.

Did she just blow a kiss to David Schuster? I didn’t know he was a POW!

What that wasn’t David Schuster…

That was Dana Milbanks.

McCain was a POW? I thought he was a sack of embalming fluid.

Gotta say, the news folks are watching too ... go check some news sites ... I’m thinking rope-a-dope through the weekend.

Next week, the slow, tap-tap-tap ...

Thank God that’s over.

Now let’s take bets on what Chris Matthews’ hair will look like.

There’s the eighteen year old that porked the seventeen year old.

Is Levi on the stage?

Wow (or Pow) there’s the container of embalming fluid.

Think so ...

Goddammit, goddammit, why am I up here .... just hold her hand, just hold her hand, you can all these bitches asses later after the’re all passed out drunk. That scary bitch in the green dress promised me some good shit ... hold her hand, hold her hand ...

He’s wearing PUMA orange.

I think John McCain just pooped a magical dragon.

“What a beautiful family.” I think it’ll grow in the next 72 hours.

Rudy Giuliani just devoured a live baby.

Is that the Alaskan National Anthem?

“What a beautiful family.”

That’s all he could come up with?

Is that the Alaskan National Anthem?

hee hee.

Sheesh, Matthews just invoked Norma Ray ...

“Is that the Alaskan National Anthem?”

I think it’s the River Dance.

She did a good job, but the idea that she’s going to be able to articulate the national issues as they relate to the poison of the National Republican party is the biggest hurdle.

So, basically, they’re rolling with just the base again. Don’t they realize that didn’t work in ‘06?

So, basically, they’re rolling with just the base again.

It’s all they have and they know that when the issues expand all they have left is Bush, Cheney, DeLay and Newt.

They have got to keep ti small-town, small-time, and hope that enough humans who possess ovaries will somehow magically buy in.

I was unimpressed.  She’s no Biden, she’s no leader.

McCain’s speech is going to be a dud after that, regardless.

Bring on the culture wars. POW. Drill. 9/11. Boo. Bitter. Proud. Drill. Liberal Media. Drill.

So, basically, they’re rolling with just the base again.

At this point ,that’s all they have left . I’d be willing to bet that this glorified Klan rally is turning a lot of moderates stomachs.

She’s the quintessential high school mean girl. Let’‘s get that meme going.
