This is not funny. At all. We have to start taking this situation seriously. The pick of Palin is a very serious matter to the coalition that we as democrats have spent years building. The loss of women to McCain has been signifigant. Without the women the democrats are in serious jeopardy of losing not only this election, but the next several. I just don't know how we are going to stop it.
Watch Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Janet Napolitano, Jane Swift and Kay Bailey Hutchison, on Face the Nation and tell me that Palin isn't way out of her depth.
Humor is a weapon, don't forget. We need more impersonations -- people remember those better than they remember the original. Eventually the original becomes the impersonation in people's minds ... if it's good enough.
Steve's right. Because of her caricatures on SNL and Boston Legal, I now cannot stand Nancy Grace. Not that without the impersonations she'd be at all likeable, but the even-more-over-the-top impersonations have become Nancy Grace in my mind.
What the hell is this all about? I am in knots. This can't be. McCain's people think NY is in play? I have come across some articles about this. This is a nightmare I can't wake up from.
Yes, we do need the levity that humor provides. Because Palin is positively comical.
To balance though, I just read what Robert Kennedy Jr just posted about Palin at Huffington Post. His short and to the point comment is terribly sobering. To be fair, I don't know that Palin is a racist. I just think she's an idiot. But this kind of ignorance on the global stage is disturbing, to say the least:
"Fascist writer Westbrook Pegler, an avowed racist who Sarah Palin approvingly quoted in her acceptance speech for the moral superiority of small town values, expressed his fervent hope about my father, Robert F. Kennedy, as he contemplated his own run for the presidency in 1965, that "some white patriot of the Southern tier will spatter his spoonful of brains in pubic premises before the snow flies."
It might be worth asking Governor Palin for a tally of the other favorites from her reading list."

NICE THINGS SAID ABOUT ME AND THIS SITE BY PEOPLE WHO'VE ACTUALLY ACCOMPLISHED SOMETHING IN LIFE:
"Interesting, unique... generally unassailable points."
-- Chuck Klosterman, best-selling author of Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs and Eating the Dinosaur
"That mad bent towards suicidal honesty that all my favorite people share."
-- David Baerwald, Golden Globe-nominated singer-songwriter
"Cuts through media bullshit like a hot knife through bullshit."
-- Drew Curtis, founder of Fark.com
"Pazienza could be accused of many things... but he could never be faulted for dumbing us down. His glued-shut prose and bawdy metaphors provide a deeply appreciated, and hilarious, literary diversion."
-- Gelf Magazine, "Insolence Is Bliss," June, 2008
"It is truly sad that someone like Mr. Pazienza has a public forum to express his views. In a more civilized time he would, at best, be confined to an institution for the criminally insane or, at the very least, marginalized from civilized society."
-- Huffington Post commenter "Pharmacan," October, 2010

I'll stop laughing if McCain wins..
Eh well, maybe it's the firewall here, but it's not happened on your site before.
fucking brilliant. grow a pair, people!
Due solely to her comedic chops, I am so completely aroused by Tina Fey right now.

It would be funny if they weren't laughing at their own jokes. Of course, that's true of any SNL bit.
"NBC.com videos can only be seen inside the United States."
I'm here in Canada, watching it right now.
I saw it on SNL last night, funny as hell.
And I loved the "Tina Fey" reference. "Wearing your pageant sash and Tina Fey glasses..!" This season of SNL is looking up.
"And I can see Russia from my house!"
Chez,
I believe you owe Tina Fey an apology.

Who does a good (vacant) McCain?
Steve's right. Because of her caricatures on SNL and Boston Legal, I now cannot stand Nancy Grace. Not that without the impersonations she'd be at all likeable, but the even-more-over-the-top impersonations have become Nancy Grace in my mind.
For McCain, I might cast John Mahoney, the Dad on Frasier.
I'd like John Fiedler, but he's dead, sad to say.
I think Captain Kangaroo (Bob Keeshan) would be a good McCain.

She's the blank slate on which the neocons will write their manifesto. Just like Bush.
HAH! Boner-shrinker.
