Former Vice President Darth Cheney fires off a zinger or two at General Colon Bowel (“Oh, is he still a Republican? Who knew”) and that makes headlines. Those ‘Pubs! Stuck in the australopithecine bogs of prehistory! All the while there’s dead silence from Wingnut Nation w/r/t the re-emergence of their savior and future:
Bristol Palin — Sarah Palin‘s 19-year-old-daughter and unwed mother of 4-month-old Tripp… made the rounds of the morning shows, appeared at a town hall meeting for National Teen Pregnancy Awareness Day and declared herself committed to discouraging behavior that would leave other girls in the same predicament she finds herself in. “Regardless of what I did personally,” she told Chris Cuomo on Good Morning America, “abstinence is the only … 100% foolproof way you can prevent pregnancy.” — Time.com
Hard to believe Grandmom Sarah — maybe the original GILF — would allow her offspring to indulge in unsafe, unprotected speech in public, but it’s clear the Governor’s control over her daughter’s conduct is even less effective than her campaign prowess. What’s next? Bukowski on sobriety? Hunter Thompson on lead poisoning? Oh wait — they’re dead, dead.
Even wingnuts, who unabashedly embrace such hilarities as Creationism and Obama is an Alien — were silent about this one. Fer chrissake, kid, siddown, shaddup, and disappear. Girls who fuck themselves pregnant in high school have no business espousing anything about sex and marriage that anybody wants to hear. And given YOUR circumstances — you know, on a goddam stage with a senator announcing his candidacy for president while your pimpled stud stands sheepishly beside you — your best move is to vanish into the Alaskan wilderness like an endangered species.
Ladies and Germs, I give you the future of the Grand Old Party.
This doesn’t even address the bozoic concept of “Abstinence Only” on its merits. Do your own Googling to see how well this depraved experiment has fared among children (let alone Catholic clergy in Miami Beach). In most cases, its effect has been to actually increase the number of unwanted pregnancies.
To their credit, the ‘Pubs largely ignored this sideshow of sanctimony, and the media have been uncharacteristically bland in their hooting and hollering. I sense sadness, even pity (certainly not “empathy:” that’s for weak ‘Crat would-be Supreme Court justices). Maybe, just maybe, even a bit of “enough is enough.”
Next act: Arlen Specter on party loyalty. A splendid time is guaranteed for all.
I find it intriguing that she rolls out her act right at the same time Sarah announces a book deal.
The Republican Party’s gradual decay is eerily entertaining, like a slow-motion train wreck.
Bristol isn’t the retarded one, is she?
Sarah is my heroine. She’s being unfairly attacked. . .
Who cares?
Sorry . . . I meant “dick”
“Fer chrissake, kid, siddown, shaddup, and disappear.”
I feel this way about all the political brats that push their 15 minutes…
Hey Dan Quayle — did you mean “heroine” or “heroin”? As in, “tomato” vs “tomatoe,” y’know?
Actually, Dick, I think you meant, “So what?” Or maybe your other famous quote (to Sen Leahy): “Fuck off.”
Amazing how Cheney can’t keep his smirking face out of the public eye now that he’s a private citizen, when in 8 years he had no interest in saying a damn thing worth hearing to the electorate.
Hey Barbara Ganousch: So what??
Rearless Frank : you say tomato, I say potatoe …
I agree with “dick” : “So what?”
Dan Quayle: Not only do you agree with dick, you sound like one. You’re the reason lifelong Republicans like me bolted the party in 2008. Sarah Palin, Dick Cheney — are you serious about running the world with these jokers, especially when there are people like Jeb Bush, Colin Powell, and Dick Luger trying to get in? Stop handing things over to the liberals
Fearless: Of course I’m not serious that’s why I visit this site.
Cute cats. Are they yours? Get them fixed.
I wonder if Fearless Frank is really Arlen Specter.
As for tomato/tomahto debates, I would defer to Barbara Ganousch.
