Hee!
If you don’t mind, I’d like to share that with a few friends.
Go right ahead!
In this morning’s paper, we’re treated to more apparent abuse of power problems with ol’ Winky McGuv. Police are complaining that there was political pressure brought to bear in the case of Levi Johnston’s drug-dealing mother. It seems they were ready to move on her earlier last year, but were pressured to delay any action until after the election (or so they claim).
A second editorial questions Levi Johnston’s sudden hiring as an electrician apprentice on the North Slope by a Native corporation. See, Johnston doesn’t have a high school diploma and the rules clearly state that an apprentice must have completed high school. The corporate head of the apprentice program claims not to know of that rule, but it’s common knowledge to anybody involved with unions. Also suspect is how Johnston managed to get to the head of the waiting list so quickly, when there are easily a hundred applicants at any given time. North Slope jobs are plums and apprenticeships are gold in the bank. Sounds like more of First Dude peddling his wife’s ass again for personal gain.
Care to comment, Governor? I thought not.
Clairobscur, I’m not sure you every had a president of the Republic as embarrassing as Sarko. A google of Sarkozy and conneries yields quite interesting results.
BTW, I love France and the French. Just a remark that no country is impervious to election a dunderhead or autocratic dimwit.
Or “suspending his campaign”, a stunt he’s pulled at least twice during presidential campaigns, and which fools nobody.
And this just in…

Alaska State Trooper union: Johnston drug arrest delayed for political reasons.
(Offered with smug aplomb, but without comment).
<insert obligatory Claude Rains comment from Casablanca here>
Indeed, we never had. I can’t think of any other president who would have publically said “Casse-toi, pauvre con” to a constituent, regardless of the circumstances.
Translate that, s’il vous plait.
Why yes, s’il vous plait pretty much does shoot my wad, linquistically speaking.
For those who care that’s (very roughly) “Get the fuck outta here, asshole.”
Or maybe “Get lost, creep.”
Possibly “Fuck off, you cunt.”
The best part about the Palin pick was some board republicans claiming democrats were “scared” of Palin.
I think prr is giving her too much brain credit. Isn’t it just more likely that if she said “The Dog River Howler” or “Wall Street Journal” it would only take minutes for that to be verified as total horseshit? Now she’s lied to Mighty Katie Couric, Destroyer of Kings and Presidents.

There was some fear, for sure, but that’s just the nature of a wild card. It’s only got a tiny chance of working, but if it does it could cause big problems for the other side.

That’s what I was referring to up in post #64.
The only fear i recall is fear that such an incopetent fool would be one very old heartbeat away from the presidency.
Warren G. Harding was one. I give up; who was the other?
Just so. Let the record show that Chefguy brought this to our attention almost two hours before I did, and is thus entitled to whatever. This despite posting from Alaska, which entails using a kerosene powered modem with a 1K/hr upload.
No, I think there was some genuine fear, in the first week or two after the Pub convention, and before her first widely publicized interview. Then it became clear just how unfit she was, and the trembling fear changed to shaking laughter.
