MSNBC is currently airing, IN FULL, a speech by Sarah Palin on behalf of Saxby Chambliss. We have a run-off election here in Georgia tomorrow (Democrat Jim Martin v. Republican Saxby Chambliss), and MSNBC seems determined to put Chambliss over the top.
Fuck fuckity fuck fuck fuck.
This amounts to ten minutes of free ad time for Saxby Chambliss. Who are the assholes at MSNBC who thought this would be a good idea? Why not show a brief clip followed by analysis? Why didn’t you air full speeches by Gore and Bill Clinton on behalf of Jim Martin?
Fuck you, MSNBC and your stupid celebrity-driven news programming.
…And now MSNBC is breathlessly promising us full coverage of Palin throughout the day. GOD DAMN IT. :mad: :rolleyes: :mad:
It seems like Greta Van Susteren is in love with Sarah Palin. Every night when I am channel surfing, I will notice that as I go past Fox News, Greta’s talkin’ to Sarah about lovin’ moose huntin’ and cookin’ up some stew!
I don’t even know what channel MSNBC is on my cable, but I’ll take a look. In any case, I get to vote against Chambliss one more time tomorrow night. (And I’ll stop getting those damn phone calls. I guess I’m assumed to be a Republican because I live in Cobb County. On the other hand, my girlfriend in the same apartment got calls from Pres. Clinton and Michelle Obama last night; I got Mitt Romney.)
That chick who got killed in Aruba. She was front page news for, like, six months. Pretty white girl syndrome. It was Natalee, not Natalie, if you want to Google.
Greta seems to have appointed herself as Palin’s personal protector too. She goes Chris Cocker any time poor Sarah receives the slightest criticism anywhere in the media.
To the OP, CNN was showing the speech too. Strangely, Fox News was not – at least not for the few seconds I flipped it over there. I think it’s just ratings. The cable news networks think people are still hanging on her every movement. I think they haven’t figured out that Palin’s 15 minutes ended on Nov. 4.
There was a good editorial in the local rag the other day, taking Palin to task for campaigning for the guy who accused Max Cleland of being soft on terrorism and questioned his patriotism in the last election. For those of you with short memories, Cleland is the Vietnam vet who left three of his limbs in the Asian jungles. Chambliss had deferments up until his number finally was called, when he was given a medical deferment because his knee or some bullshit.
Jon Stewart had some footage of Greta’s extended interview at the Palin compund in Wasilla. You can see Sarah get a little concerned about the stalkerish nature that Greta has taken on. Todd also takes her for a snow[del]machine[/del]mobile ride.
Is it possible MSNBC is hoping she’ll say something Cray-zay, like, Georgia stood up to the Russian invasion this year with great patriotism and faith?
One of the people who is campaigning for Martin is Maryline Blackburn, who now lives in Smyrna, Georgia. Who is Maryline Blackburn? A former Alaska native who competed against Palin in the 1984 Miss Alaska contest, and WON! People tend to forget that Miss Wasilla was only a runner up. Btw, Maryline Blackburn is African American.
Secondly, Palin is still wearing some of the clothes that the RNC bought her. I thought she was going to give everything back, or give it to charity or something.
I’m so sick of seeing this self-serving twat in the local paper and on local TV, along with her adoring dipshit redneck following.
There was a letter in the paper today that should bring her up short. It was from a local guy, Will Abbott, who was in the Hanoi Hilton longer than John McCain was. Will doesn’t normally write letters or make himself seen publicly, as he prefers to work for his causes behind the scenes. But he blasted her pretty heavily for supporting Chambliss, which may just get the Veteran’s groups up in arms against her, as Abbott is well respected here.
Palin has no sense of shame, nor any dignity or class that I can discern. Her son is in Iraq and yet she’s supporting this fucking draft-dodging assclown whose character assassination of Cleland was the worst that politics can offer.
But Saxby’s a Republican, that’s all that counts. Oh, and the TV cameras.
Yay for Will Abbott!
I’ve heard that Palin still hasn’t been to her office in the capitol, and hasn’t since before the VP nom. Don’t sane Alaskans find that odd? I also heard that Juneau went heavily for Obama. Maybe that’s why, she doesn’t want to set foot in an icky blue city.
