Sarah Palin, fresh off pitching a non-breast related reality TV show about the natural wonders of Alaska, took her performance art to John McCain’s home state of Arizona, where a rally was held to help prop him back up.
Not literally. But in the polls. McCain is facing possible political defeat in the coming months, with conservatives attacking him for being too moderate, and not conservative enough, Palin brought her trademarked mushmouthed rhetoric and platitudes. Some samples include…
On the GOP:
“We’re not the party of no, we’re the party of hell no!”
I don’t know what this means, but clearly the republicans are one step away from being the party of Will Smith.
On the teabaggers:
“They’re a beautiful grassroots movement that is putting government back on the side of the people.”
Right. I think maybe, if you’re looking at it as performance art, racism might fall under the umbrella of being beautiful. But no. Not really. I think politicians are more hilarious than any other profession. Take the McCain’s. A spoiled son of a Navy Admiral gets a political career after sweating out the brat in a POW camp, only to divorce his wife and marry a beer heiress who wound up stealing prescription drugs and making a deal with the government so no charges would be filed against her. They get together with the Palins, a gun-loving, teen-pregnancy laden Alaskan family, and instead of forming a sitcom, they campaign to run the country. Now one is more popular than the other, so they have to swoop in and save an old man’s campaign.
Comedy. Check out the video.

Hmmm. Where are all the Repubs on this one? They're all over the other blogs trying desperately (and futily) to distance themselves from the fear and hate that spawned the vile rhetoric seen in the past week or so. No one is doing a thing to discredit it except Democrats, moderate, liberal and progressive. Hate and violence has no place in politics. I've seen some dredge up past incidents to justify today's shameful expressions. What they don't get is that tit-for-tat comparisons do nothing. The GOP, along with Fox noise, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Michelle Malkin, and $arah Palin, herself OWN it. Are any of these coming out and vilifying it? No. They're even going so far as to say it's "patriotic", and still, the worthless comparisons. The death of the GOP is coming if someone in the conservative "movement" and/or the GOP doesn't come out and do something. Will they? Unlikely. Just like the sour-grapes attitude they adopted because the country roundly rejected their policies, which are rotten leftovers of the Bush administration. No one likes a sore loser. worse still, no one likes a sore loser who uses or advocates violence because of it. Petulant, spoiled children is the only descriptive that can be used for them now.
