It must be tough to go through life, always feeling offended.  I’d pity them but they’re so damned stupid and annoying, I’m content to let them stew in their self-created misery.

It would make an interesting change, though, if they had something to say about an actual issue, sometime.  I won’t hold my breath.

Other things Obama could have said that would have been about Palin/McCain:

“You can put lipstick on a bridge to nowhere but it is still a bridge to nowhere.”
“You can put lipstick on a campaign run by Rove and Lobbyists but it is still a campaign run by Rove and Lobbyists.”
“You can put lipstick on Rudy Giuliani….oh wait he does that himself all the time.”
“You can put lipstick on Global warming but it is still caused by human activity.”

It must be tough to go through life, always feeling offended.

Why is Sarah Palin even bothering to campaign? We’ve seen the videos from her church—all you gotta do to get what you want is pray to God! Who needs campaigns, policy statements, and all the rest of it when the Big Man is on your side, building pipelines and fixing election results? (And by “Big Man,” I don’t mean Turd Blossom.)

Oh, and if you DON’T get what you want (affordable childcare, healthcare, better education for your kids, housing, grocery prices that don’t make elderly folks choose between medicine and dinner), then clearly you are a godless heathen who deserves to suffer! God WANTED John McCain to dump his wife for the rich blonde—don’t you see? His wealth is a gift from the Almighty for all that he suffered as a POW! (Did you know he was a POW? He really should mention that more often, modest guy that he is!)

Whereas we have a word for people like the Obamas, who work their way up from very little and end up moderately wealthy by comparison to the McCains: Satanists! Er, I mean “elitists.” Same thing.

Hey, everybody. Darragh’s running some sort of quasi-racist porn shot on the top of her site today. VERY upset over there…and just AWFUL at Photoshop.

Her commenters hate the “Obama” head, but they’re becoming strangely aroused by the nude female body with pasties.

I’m afraid they’re all going to jump into a pile and just start posting “mmmmmmmmmmmm.”

Darragh’s a demented, powerless scumbag. Her traffic’s declining, her donations are drying up, her reputation is about as ruined as it can get and the media is through with her. I’m doing my best to give PUMAs as little attention as possible now that a majority of their traffic is probably attributed to rubber-necking.

BTW, that wasn’t a stab at you, StrangeAppar8us.  I still peak ‘n’ giggle. Just explaining why I’m not posting about them anymore.  They’re shameless attention whores and about all of the attention they can hope for these days is ridicule. They’re practically begging for it and I’m not biting.

Kevin K.—Apologies. I’ll buy some flowers for you, since I have to buy a bunch for Betty and marindenver after yesterday’s domestic dispute. ;->

There’s no outrage like faux outrage.

Yeah, Strange - where are they???

In a way it’s almost sad to see Darragh spewing out stream of consciousness outrage day after day in a pathetic attempt to say “We ARE important, dammit, we ARE, ARE, ARE!!!! WAAAAHHHHH, LISTEN!”  I looked at the comments today for once and noticed that a few people expressed concern that if that picture got passed around maybe people would think they were lunatic fringe nuts.  Ya think?

StrangeAppar8us, heh.  I like sunflowers because it reflects my disposition.

Hell, feel free to slag them as much as you want here.  You crack me up.

Kevin K.—Understood…and I’m happy to hang with smart people who don’t make fun of me.

There was just something about your post above and Murphy’s bizarre image that seemed to converge in my mind. This whole campaign has gone Dada—nothing but meaningless yet emotionally-charged phrases and images being recycled and juxtaposed in surreal ways.

Dog-whistles and iconic art are nothing new in politics. But this may be the first campaign entirely conducted in meta-space.

There’s a thesis in here somewhere, but I need another bottle of Patron before I attempt anything more gymnastic.

PS: The “Frothing Dog” header is just hilarious. I’ve emailed it to all of my friends in the Russian News Service.

I like the idea of Contrasting her to the pig “Babe”

“Babe was brave.

Sarah attacks and hides.

One had character one doesn’t.

Equating Palin and pigs is an insult to pigs”

I saw this whole lipstick “controversy” on BBC World today and they showed Obama say it about the Republicans and Macca say it in regards to Hillary campaigning and the anchor said “Well now Obama has shown McCain say it, they’re both even right and we won’t hear anything more about this?” and you could almost see him mentally crossing his fingers that will be the case.  The guy he was talking to laughed at him.

Besides, based on the way that Sarah Palin is avoiding interviews and hiding from the press, I’d say the closer barnyard analogy is a chicken. Bawk bawk bawk!

Kerry:

She’s a CHICKEN who DUCKs the press and COWers from journalists.

Pit bulls don’t cry!
