Here’s teevee’s Ben Stein, the funny conservative author and Nixon/Ford speechwriter best known for that game show and yelling at Matthew Broderick in the 1980s. He is not impressed with Sarah Palin. No matter what weird causes Ben Stein supports, he has never been very forgiving of total idiots.

I love to hate Ben Stein.

I’m conflicted… Ben Stein is a scary nutjob, and yet.. he’s 100% right… argh!
Oh, that guy’s just pissed off because people keep winning his money.
I want to drown him in a vat of Clear Eyes.
Lol! I needed a laugh like that. The “Bueller” tag was also enjoyable.
AND WHY ISN’T KISSINGER DEAD YET?
I wouldn’t wish that creepy old toad on anyone.
I think we’ll hear a lot more conservatives speak like this once the St. Paul circle jerk is over.
Palin is like the t-shirt you buy at Disneyland. Then you’re there it’s great but once the delegates get home it’ll be “what the hell was I thinking?”
“…he has never been very forgiving of total idiots.”
Except for his creationist paranoia movie — those idiots get a pass. But this time I think he’s just being paleocontrary.
As usual, Ben Stein is dead on. This is the same Ben Stein who remarked to the effect that “indeed, it IS the responsibility of the rich to help the poor…”
To quote I, Claudius:
Tiberius: I will make you my successor, Gaius Caligula. Rome deserves you.
Caligula: Is that a joke, uncle?
Tiberius: Not yet, but it will be.
Think I’ll go drink some Drano now–at least it’s better than the Kool Aid being served by the RNC.
Perhaps Ben is not a fan of her Jews for Jesus connections.
[re=83713]Scarab[/re]: After Peggy Noonan, America’s Bullshitter, did her job today I would say so. Caribou Barbie represents the inmates finally taking over the asylum to the Country Club wing. They eat their own.
Stein comes up with a whole new set of reasons to hate Sarah Palin that none of the Dems could think of. She’s bringing America together.
[re=83711]sanantonerose[/re]: …you mean “why isn’t Henry Kissinger rotting in the 7th level of hell along with anyone else associated with the Reagan and Nixon administration”?! See all fixed!
When’s the Hagel endorsement? Paging Colin Powell…. All aboard!
ha ha. that was funny. mean, but funny. and true.
I don’t think Henry Kissinger would take that job. Well . . . at least not unless sex was part of the deal
So Sarah Palin needs a lot of intelligent people around her all the time because she’s so ignorant? Now here’s just the moment for Cheney, Rumsfeld, Yoo, Gonzales, Wolfowitz, Feith, Rice and Rove to come crawling out of the woodwork.
[re=83730]spraklepeapooh[/re]: I agree. Kissinger’s probably voting for Barry. He may be evil but he’s not stupid.
At this point I’m hoping Caribou Barbie’s first big interview is with Katie Couric. Set a Mean Girl to destroy a Mean Girl. And you know Katie’d do it because she wants to be thought of as a real journalist and not some perky million dollar a month newsreader.
This woman is going to inspire so many hilarious metaphors, allusions and forehead smacks.
Still, I think she’ll rally the mouth breathers in a way that’ll make the Hilltardite Respect fixation seem reasonable and reserved.
Ohhhh, Soledad, you coco minx, you. Damn. Forgot how hot she was. I’ve been missing out on CNN’s coverage as I enjoy the in-fighting at MSNBC so much better.
What were we talking about? Oh yeah, all of the speeches I’ve seen were blatantly lacking in substance.
Mittens? Stupid boring shit. “East Coast elistism is horrible. Despite the fact that I’m the embodiment of East Coast elitism, both in the private sector and as an elected government official in Massachusetts.” I can see why even people in his own party don’t like him.
And someone please send assface Giuliani to Guantanamo, STAT. Islamo Terrorist is un-PC because it might offend terrorists? STFU. And I still can’t get over the “community organizer” and “Only in America” slurs against Obama. What’s so fucking funny? Could it have killed them to attack his policy or political stances? Why belittle him personally? I hope that sort of shit turned as much people off as it did me.
Sarah FAILin wasn’t much better. Haha, let’s not give detainees human rights. Wait, what? Ugh. If these people are elected, I will personally have to do something drastic like become a Paultard and lead a Paultard Insurrection on their asses. Am I gonna have to become a stealth Repub and fracture their shit myself? This is all it takes to “energize the base”? Substance-free, xenophobic, ad hominem attacks? I hope that all of the respectable conservatives see the Repub party for what they really are tonight. Jeeeesus.
Ooops. I’ve commented on the wrong post. Sorry guys. I’ve never had rage-induced dementia before, and if I don’t ever post again it’s because I will have probably died from either a heart attack or self-emolation.
Whatever else Ben Stein may be he is a greedy fuck. He is worried about his money because if the McPain ticket, through some horrible twist of voter fraud, got into office there would be capital flight out of the US on a rapidly escalating scale. The financial mess is tenuous enough as it is without having a senile old man, a petty vindictive snowbilly, and a bunch of talebagelist true believers trying to get Raptured in charge of things.
OH! I just realized that if Biden stomps her good… I’m going to really like Joe Biden, for at least a little while. wow.
[re=83741]Vanity Smurf[/re]: I have a crush on you.
[re=83746]dilhavarti[/re]: I have a crush on myself. You have good taste.
[re=83711]sanantonerose[/re]: i think he already did, hes just to evil to stop
I don’t crush, but Ben is one conservative that has a roof in my town, He says sense stuff.
That bad punctuation is free, it’s my drunk birthday and I’ll butcher a language if i want to.
But what was Jimmy Kimmel’s snarky response to that?
Unfortunately, the conservative lunatics real Americans pay attention to sound a lot more like Sarah Palin than Ben Stein.
Happy Birthday Jack! Hope you made it to the ER before your heart, kidneys, and lungs gave out!
[re=83703]grendel[/re]:
Agreed. Stein is an ass, but in this case he’s right.
Palin is a lightweight both in intellect and experience, and to make things worse, she thinks her opinions are direct from God. Sorta like the current occupant of the White House.
[re=83733]Vanity Smurf[/re]: Luke Russert! He could hang out with Levi “Redkneck” Ballsacker and have some beers, scam on the chicks. Then Palin could give them handjobs.
[re=83731]SayItWithWookies[/re]: See…. now you made me sad again… it’s like an 8 year tape delay…
[re=83715]Scarab[/re]: Nah, she’s the shirt you get at the knock off souvenir shop around the corner from Disneyworld. Half the price and a little irregular.
Oy! Palin’s a shicksa!
Oy! Or maybe she’s a Sitka-sha.
I will never forget the day I found out the “game show host dude” who I had spent so many middle school summers with was actually just another Republican nutjob only with an above average IQ. So any indication of his intelligence circuits trumping his partisan ones is a pleasant surprise.
there wouldn’t be so much anti-semitism if there wasn’t so much semitism!
I hereby christen her followers the Palindrones.
It must be mentioned: Ben Stein’s character never talks to Ferris Bueller.
So, let me see here…. Ben’s capable of divining that Sarah P. is a doofus and is scary.
But Ben’s never had such a revelation about Nixon, Kissinger, Reagan, Bush I, Bush II, Rudi, Romney or WALNUTS!???
Does he only recognize retardation when the tard in question has tits?
Because I have precisely the opposite problem. I recognize retardation, UNLESS the tard has tits. I marry her and THEN discover the sad truth.
Ipso facto, ergo, et al, I am easily distracted by tits, but Ben Stein’s a gay homosexual.
It looks like Palin will be isolating the intellectual Republican crowd from the party. What’s that, like, 0.005%?
Palin: it gets the red out… of the electoral map.
he had to bring up that he supports ID. Oh Benny.
[re=83711]sanantonerose[/re]: Henry Kissinger as a babysitter would be a good premise for a horor movie–particularly the shots of him with blood from slaughtered Vietnamese, Americans, Chilean (to name just a few) dripping from his fangs. He would need a crane to move around unless they went with a Jabba the Hut esthetic.
[re=83739]Tubs McGee[/re]: It was a beautiful thing regardless. Or, as Sarah Palin might say, irregardless.
[re=83827]Sussemilch[/re]: Palindrones…nice. Lies that read the same backward or forward.
I would pay hard earned coin of the realm to watch SATAN grab Ben by his cute li’l earlobes and shove his scaly pecker down his throat…but then who wouldn’t
Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac.
[re=83880]Whiskeybaby[/re]: disirregradless
Damn. I was so distracted by his old-man mohawk that I had to watch that crap twice.
I thought that the crazy stance on creationism would be enough to sway America’s second favorite guy from “Win Ben Stein’s Money”. I was wrong.

He has a couple of good lines: http://www.entertonement.com/collections/2911/Ben-Stein-On-Sarah-Palin
Maybe Ben is pissed because Palin turned down Stein’s offer for some ‘Private Tutoring” on foreign affairs once she found out he wasn’t a real teacher like he played in that funny 80′s movie…
Leave it to Ben Stein to fit in a plug for his “fundamentalist, born-again, backwoods” creationis…er umm, intelligent design movie. I can hear the Wal Mart DVD bargain bins emptying at this very moment.
What’s precious about Ben Stein stomping on her is this….It finally helped me figure out where I’ve heard Sarah Palin’s voice before. I know everyone references Fargo, but I swear she sounds just like the secretary from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Thanks, Ben. You’re a freak, but on this clip, you’re a “righteous dude.”
