That tends to say it all...

But are the American voters winking back?

I know Lucille Bluth, I've watched Lucille Bluth, and you, ma'am are no Lucille Bluth. The no-alcohol drowsy eye on the medicine bottle is not winking at you.

my mother always told me never trust a winker...

Fred said...

Is that the same look she had when Bubba Shitkicker blew his load on her face?

Reminds me of that cab driver I had the misfortune of riding with on the way back from the airport once. He had Tourette's.

The whole ride back to my house, he was winking and twitching and jerking around in the driver's seat, proselytizing about Jesus and asking me "Ack! Are you afraid to die? Ack! Ack!"

By my count she winked at the camera no less than five separate times last night.
It...it was pretty hot.

Chez, I'm lousy at imbedding URL's, but "Prom Qeen's Got A Gun" would be great for this.

I could just see her running through her mental rolodex and pulling out the memorized quotes. It was so rehearsed, I felt like she had a photograph of a tele-prompter in her head. I would have had a difficult time not just cracking up at her performance if I wasn't so goddamn scared.

Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where George kept winking at people so they didn't believe anything he just said.

Isn't she just so cute? Very vice presidential. NOT!!

So proud of Joe for not falling for her cutesy coy flirting ploy.

Master Mahan said...

So, she's promising the nation sexual favors if elected?

Master Mahan said...

It's a good thing there's only one vice-presidential debate, because the only way Sarah Palin could top that wink would be to fellate a banana. Or she could pull out her old flute - it would amount to the same thing.

Kurgan said...

So you saw her winking at me too?

I knew it wasn't just me.

I think she likes me.

There's some great stuff on Kos about Palin's flirty performance and Freudian phrases (Drill, baby, drill!) My personal favorite:
"John McCain has already tapped me and said, that's where I want you....and I said, I can't wait to get there go to work with you."

Paints quite a picture, doesn't it? More here:

She was just maddening. And, my brain literally did hurt watching her bullshit "debating."

Motheralex is spot on, with a minor correction: Home Coming Queen.

Rich Lowry earns his place in the wanker hall of fame --

"I'm sure I'm not the only male in America who, when Palin dropped her first wink, sat up a little straighter on the couch and said, "Hey, I think she just winked at me." And her smile. By the end, when she clearly knew she was doing well, it was so sparkling it was almost mesmerizing. It sent little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the living rooms of America. This is a quality that can't be learned; it's either something you have or you don't, and man, she's got it."

Not to sound like I've drank the other kool aid, but I think this was the best possible outcome for our side. It further illuminates the bright line of idiocy between pundits with any integrity (Krauthammer? Who knew?) and the Lowrys and Malkins of the world. It wasn't so bad that McCain has to dump her from the ticket. I actually think a hail Mary to a qualified VP choice could actually result in a net gain for him. It would allow him to go around to all the Sunday shows in his sorrowful "I sorry" mode. You know the media would lap that up and jump all over each other to proclaim how this is the old John McCain making maverick decisions for the good of the country. Suddenly undoing his disasterous initital decision would be painted as noble.

Now he's stuck with her. And her proclimation that she's not going to do interviews will hang over every one he gives. Well, the ones that aren't on Fox, at least.

Duane said...

I don't know if I should vote for this woman or buy her a drink. But I'm definitely getting some strong signals here. Yeah, she's into me.

Sarah Floccinaucinihilipilification Palin

floc·ci·nau·ci·ni·hil·i·pil·i·fi·ca·tion / [flok-suh-naw-suh-nahy-hil-uh-pil-uh-fi-key-shuhn]–noun Rare. the estimation of something as valueless (encountered mainly as an example of one of the longest words in the English language or, in recent use, the candidacies of John McCain and Sarah Palin).

See You Next Tuesday said...

This debate flow chart is a must see, on the the topic of Palin being worthless, that is.

Jester said...

I haven't seen anyone else comment on this, but am I the only one that noticed that she flew the Alaskan flag over the American flag on her collar?

Mary said...

Reminds me of a '45 record my parents had of a song called "Sweet Thang" -- If you wink more than twice, you'd better have something in your eye.

*sigh*

If only she was half as precious as she thinks she is.

Joyce said...

Is she flirting with me or running for vice president because I can't tell!

Anonymous said...

She so wants me! I just might vote for her to fulfill some impossible dream that one day I might get me some of that puddin'. Nah, I'll still vote for Obama, but I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eatin' crackers, no sir-ree!

Boo said...

Is this that rare form of reverse Turret's where you wink a lot and say things like, "Jeepers!" Golly!" "Gosh darn it!" and "Pikachu??
