Today Sarah Palin is visiting the Villages, which, according to the Internet’s famous Talking Points Memo, “is a heavily Republican community that is a must-stop for campaigning politicians in a key battleground state. The Villages is in central Florida about 60 miles northwest of Orlando.” So Presidential speculation, etc. etc.! Your Wonkette had never even heard of the Villages or the crucial Republican Villages People, which is why Editor Jim Newell suggested we watch this commercial. So, this is what Sarah Palin is doing today! Levi Johnston wins this round by default. [YouTube, TPM]

Also it’s full of republican’s so this isn’t surprising:

Republican olds have created their ideal town and it is a perfect combination of a Sandals resort and the set of The Truman Show.

Makes sense to me.

Wanderlust November 24, 2009 at 10:59 am

They don’t even let the minorities in to clean!

Hopefully Palin will be trapped there by giant inflatable spheres, while Leo McKern tries to make her say why she resigned.

Cape Clod November 24, 2009 at 11:02 am

Is this the same place where the jackass cop kept using and stressing Obama’s middle name?

You mean if I run for president I have to go there and kiss their shorts wearing, golf cart riding pasty butts? Forget that.

Come here a minute November 24, 2009 at 11:04 am

While the Republican olds at the Villages® may be white and conservative enough, they are probably not nutty and religious enough to make this appearance turn into the crazyfest that usually follows our snowbilly grifter.

JMP November 24, 2009 at 11:04 am

Was that the theme song to a syndicated 80s sitcom? I think it came on between “Charles in Charge” and “Small Wonder”.

Seriously, that was bad enough it seemed like a parody. Ugh.

Johnny Zhivago November 24, 2009 at 11:04 am

I bet the resturants are positively JAMMED at 5pm!

bitchincamaro November 24, 2009 at 11:04 am

It’s an “adult retirement community”. As opposed to a “teenager retirement community”?

*donning suicide vest; headed to Villages*

Larry McAwful November 24, 2009 at 11:05 am

I heard they were originally considering a version of that song performed by the New Christy Minstrels but rejected it because it sounded too much like “jungle music.”

JMP November 24, 2009 at 11:08 am

[re=465565]ivenson[/re]: Well, the retired Republicans needed their own special community away from the other Florida communities of retired olds, which tend to be filled with, you know, those people.

[re=465564]GIJoeIce[/re]: The call them SOCIAL diseases because they bring SOCIALISM. You don’t think that’s a coïncidence, that those two words are so similar, do you?

I wouldn’t embrace socialist disease for all the tea in the People’s Republican of China!

It’s hard to believe that theme song was written by white people.

Wow, I’ll keep my shack in the scrub woods and hobo beans, thank you, I’d rather die than go off to a place like that.

I remember the Village People being a lot more fun.

[re=465586]ivenson[/re]: Exactly, “New York” types = jewish for that bunch. And the Truman Show/Sandals analogy? Spot…fucking….on. Toss in some pre-aged Stepford people and you have The Villages. And….gated community? Of course, goes with out saying.

Tundra Grifter November 24, 2009 at 11:23 am

Is this the place Glum Bleek presented his rant that we’ve all got to be more like the Chinese?

Quotes from the TV show, The Prisoner
(where Patrick McGoohan’s Number 6 was taken to The Village)

Labour Exchange Manager: Good, you are honest. That is of use. Honesty attracts confidence, and confidence is our core of our business. See how honest I am being with you?

Number 6: Unlike me, many of you have accepted the situation of your imprisonment, and will die here like rotten cabbages.

“A still tongue makes a happy life”
–Village Maxim

“You still have a choice. You can still salvage your right to be individuals. Your rights to truth and free thought! Reject this false world of Number Two . . . reject it NOW!!”
–No.6; A Change of Mind

If only this were the worst that Florida real estate developers had to offer.

On the plus side, all the residents are likely drinking DDT at levels way beyond lethal. Can’t have the Florida insect life interfering with the Florida experience, you know.

Here’s the most disturbing single thing you will ever read in your whole life, even if you live long enough to move to The Villages. According to public health statistics, The Villages has the highest rate of STDs of any community its size in America. Ack. Ew. Ack. Vomit break, everyone….

happyrock November 24, 2009 at 12:19 pm

Ok, I saw the cop, the cowboy, the construction worker, someone I assumed was the leather daddy w/o his chaps, several soldiers, but NO INDIAN! Is there a different reservation they go to to play golf until they?

I may have been hallucinating, but I think I saw Reagan and Nixon in that video. 9/11 TRUTH NOW! INFOWARS.COM!!

Lascauxcaveman November 24, 2009 at 12:26 pm

I love golf (Don’t hate me). I’m not a good golfer, but used to play about once a week, sometimes more, with a drinking buddy, my college roommate, brother-in-law, retired dad, etc. I really miss playing golf, now that I’m too occupied with my job, my home remodel, chauffeuring my kids to their piano/voice/orthodontist engagements etc. I haven’t played golf in 8 years or so. I’m jonesing for a round of golf. Badly need to play a round.

With these folks? Ugh. No thanks.

norbizness November 24, 2009 at 12:29 pm

Further, the video makes more sense if you watch them wearing a special pair of sunglasses.

Servo November 24, 2009 at 12:31 pm

Do they have on-site diaper service?

DemmeFatale November 24, 2009 at 12:31 pm

Mom and her new husband (Olbermann watching libtards) just bought a place there.
I don’t think they’ll fit in.

Jebus, I grew up in Anchorage and even my high school wasn’t this white. This is like the What White People Like dream community.

The moon’s albedo is lower than the pasty white skin of these folks. You’d need to wear sunglasses made of welder’s mask glass, on a cloudy day, also.

At one time, my parents were looking at this place for their retirement. Too bad they didn’t move there. I would’ve love to fuck that place up on visits.

eastcoastliberal November 24, 2009 at 3:46 pm

My parents live there. I am sad to say…I have been there. It IS as bad as you all think. My husband told me we will never, ever go back. My parents are libtards however and there is actually a small group of like-minded folks who push back against the whackos. They told me that our friend Glen Beck was there recently but they didn’t get close enough to spit on him. Sad.

AutomaticPilot November 24, 2009 at 9:10 pm

My aunt and uncle live there, so I’ve visited a few times and it is all kinds of creepy. The only person of color I saw there was a black man who worked at Johnny Rockets – sweeping up, of course. Even the “downtown” buildings have fake facades on them, some of them with fake backstories (i.e., back in 1901, this was the dentist’s office of Zeke McClain). I would go running in the mornings and get totally lost because every house looks the same.

CanadianBacon November 24, 2009 at 10:05 pm

The Villages advertises that they have pre-owned homes for sale.The only way you could have pre-owned houses for sale in a retirement community is if Obama’s death panels have been busy. For more proof of the death panels the biggest section of the local newspaper “The Villages Daily Sun” is the obituary section.
One of the few live ones left put this ad in the local paper,
