Gov. Madcap McMoose meets her match

Likely as not, Sarah Palin's political prospects will hilariously and inevitably implode, probably over revelations that she holds some astoundingly offensive views. With that in mind, after a mostly self-imposed media blackout Saturday, your Gleaner took a peak at the Internets before going to bed just to see if the carnage had begun yet.

Not quite. Getting there, though...

“So Sambo beat the bitch!”

This is how Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin described Barack Obama’s win over Hillary Clinton to political colleagues in a restaurant a few days after Obama locked up the Democratic Party presidential nomination. LAProgressive

The story cites a waitress named Lucille who didn't want to give her last name and the Palin-McCain campaign can probably get away with just denying it.

But while this may be the first allegation of some jaw-droppingly disgusting backwoods drivel representing the very worst of America's worst emanating from Moose's famously lipstick-adorned piehole, it is conceivable that it will be the last.

In fact, while the War God Party goes on and on and on about how excited they are because Moose is their future, she really appears to be more of a representation of conservativism's political wilderness era of the 60s and 70s, sort of the John Birch Society in a skirt.

Or, more specifically, Sarah Palin may be just a few news cycles away from becoming the early 21st Century's answer to singer, orange juice industry spokestress and fellow pageant sister Anita Bryant (condemning you to hell for your liberal elitist views, at right), whose outlandishly Bible-icious homophobic crusade made her one of the most mocked people of the 1970s and turned her very name into a punchline. (As an Alaskan, Palin already knows plenty about days without sunshine.)

Anyway, remember, when Palin becomes, like Bryant, the object of widespread public ridicule and scorn, it's all on McCain -- picking her was his decision, his judgment, his spectacular demonstration to the country that he is not, to borrow a phrase, "ready to lead."

I'm like Bill Maher, after Obama's speech I was proud to be an American as I was with JFK. After Moose McCunt spoke I was again embarrassed. Stop the bitch in her tracks! And, all the PUMAs, get your heads out of your asses.

Think of them as Moose and Squirrley -- or Rocking chair and Bullwinkle

The LA Progressive article was enlightening and freightening....when these and all the other stories, all non-sexist, break wind, it will be a veryu malodorus time in the GOP! I wonder if she'll have to leave the ticket soon to care for her new born son. Thanks for the heads up, Gleaner.

MGreen; Did you see Dave McGrath Schwartz's mining tax article today? Gee, seems like just last week we were talking about this....

These are the best quotes about Palin from the article. The article pretty much sums up a impending GOPER disaster, of Biblical disaster.

Courageous Alaskans say: “Palin is a conniving, manipulative, a**hole,” someone who thinks these are positive traits in a governor told me, summing up Palin’s tenure in Alaska state and local politics.

“She’s a bigot, a racist, and a liar,” is the more blunt assessment of Arnold Gerstheimer who lived in Alaska until two years ago and is now a businessman in Idaho.

I saw it, Dave. Thanks. I don't know which is worse: that mining isn't pulling its weight or that Amodei is speaking both as a state senator and as head of the mining association. What IS it with seemingly sane Republicans who lose it?

How is that Palin is ready, today, to be the leader of the free world, yet as of September 7, 2008, she is not ready and is unable to go on any Sunday morning talk show?

I can see the DNC commercial in my mind;
"Sarah Palin says she is ready to stare down Russian Prime Minister Vladimar Putin, handle the Middle East crisis and deal with Iran, but when it comes to speaking to the American people through a George Stephanopoulos interview or the rest of the American media, she cuts and runs." palin is just not ready for prime time.

She also accepted the nomination so it's not ALL McCain's fault.

Myrna, you really think her ego would let her turn down the nomination?

Rove's fingerprints are all over it.
