That was odd, when I first logged onto Wonkette, I saw a Siemens ad and I got all excited and now it is gone.
Anyway, huzzah for taxing TARP-assisted banks!
something else about wonkette has always made me curious– why do the comments take so long to be posted?
Good for US Americuh. Killing an AQ leader. Now they have to get the rest of 98 Degrees before they make more cockbombs.
“gossipy anonymous accusations”
Actually, they’re not anonymous or gossipy. You’re a fucking idiot, Simple Sarah Palin.
Andrew Cuomo doesn’t care who runs against Kirsten Gillibrand, as long as no one else runs for Governor, b/c that’s going to be his job after the Stevie Wonder’s epic administration fail.
Sarah should sue…for violating her copyright on gossipy BS accusations.
… because, again, Bill, I know what’s important: being a quitter.”
Idle threat. Banks are no more going to stop lending than dope dealers are going to stop selling dope.
I couldn’t believe my ears on Maddow last night… Palin apparently had the whole “9/11 and Iraq are separate (but equal!)” story explained to her in detail the DAY BEFORE she stood in front of her son’s army unit and proclaimed to them that they were headed to Iraq to fight the enemies responsible for 9/11. *facepalm* What’s the deal? She already had the speech written, and couldn’t be bothered to make changes to it?
Bankers are the new Lawyers. Bring on the banker jokes!
America’s Dingbat, “fair and imbalanced.”
“The public would be supportive of anything
up toincluding shooting and burning the bankers.”~fixed
In Ford’s defense (’cause Wonkette’s really pickin’ on him these days, he is a light skinned fella with no appreciable negro dialect unless he wanted to have one.
Just sayin’
The trouble with Ford isn’t that he’s an uppity octaroon. The trouble with Ford is that he lacks any principle except his own will-to-power. He’s more than happy to throw the DNC’s money under the train (more usefully spent elsewhere…) in order to advance himself. And he’s to the right of KG, which is silly.
How is it “anonymous” when Steve Schmidt was the one making the claims, from his own day to day
dealings with Miss Moosebottom?
[re=493708]O_o[/re]:
The deal is that she’d dumb as a box of hair.
[re=493698]ManchuCandidate[/re]: [re=493708]O_o[/re]: [re=493716]jodyleek[/re]: Details, details. What is really appalling is that it is apparently catching, as Bill-O didn’t notice.
At least Sarah showed that she’s now willing to face the tough questions by going on O’Reiley’s show. Oh wait, I meant fawning, lustful adulation, not tough questions.
Anyone notice if O’Reiley’s hands were on the desk or below it?
She’s right,..the uncomfortableness (uh, that’s not a word) of Blackbama is starting to get to me..I even think I heard him utter some Negroid the other day. We would have been better off with her and Grandpa Munster

There was a Loofa with Hummus on it waiting in his dressing room.
It’s spelled Abdullah al-Mehdarhad, but it’s pronounced, “Throat-warbler mangrove.”
[re=493710]Barcode of the Apocalypse[/re]: What do you call a bunch of bankers being covered in bloody entrails and thrown into a tank of starving Great White sharks? A good start.
Also, this: “It was just a matter of time before more of that reflection of the people’s uncomfortableness that they feel towards this administration is manifesting in these poll numbers,” Palin said.
Ooooooh, lookie. Somebody got themselves a pocket dictionary for Christmas!
[re=493716]jodyleek[/re]: Just more proof that she, and others politicians (Giuliani comes to mind), just say whatever damn thing pops into their heads. Truth be damned.
[re=493740]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: It will be just a matter of time before more of that incomprehensibility that people are seeing in that tortured syntax thing she’s got going on is manifesting itself in there with those ratings, also.
[re=493727]Cape Clod[/re]: At one point, it became clear that Mr. O’Reilly was using a vibrator on himself.
Mooseburger proves that Steve Schmitt’s accusations that she’s a mental lightweight are completely baseless by failing to use “anonymous” correctly in a complete sentence, on the air.
Well, I’m glad we’ve finally gotten that settled.
That time Sarah and Levi used a blindfold made it anonymous, too.
[re=493736]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: But sharks won’t eat bankers. Professional courtesy.
[re=493696]Way Cool Larry[/re]:
They must go throught the snark/wit filter to be divided into thirds–the lowest just get deleted outright, the middle get published, and the best get held back to be used in future posts (or sold to late-night comedy writers).
[re=493922]gurukalehuru[/re]: Okay then. Piranhas.
How long will Sarah be on before people are too mean to her and she quits the Fox “News”?
