Ross Douthat’s Holodeck Problem
Via Sully, we see Ross Douthat warming up the holodeck for a “What if President McCain…” simulation where all the Dems are wearing goatees. Overall, in a McCain presidency Democrats would have faced the same political incentives Republicans face now — where it’s easier to blame a terrible economy on the president than to find [...]

Sentinel, a conservative imprint of Penguin Group (USA), announced Monday that the Republican presidential candidate’s memoir will arrive in November and already has been completed.

She prays like a Roman with her eyes on fire
Politico and Halperin tell me that the Rick Perry Era begins this weekend, right after the Tweety/Chuck Todd wankfest that is the the Ames Straw Poll, so pretty soon we don’t have Michele Bachmann to kick around anymore. The crazy eyes Newsweek cover was probably over the top, but look what the liberal press did [...]

Bachmann: 10 Crazy Quotes from the Clown Car
She’s not getting any smarter, people. Just more well-polished. This is why I love the internets. It has such—such—sticktoitiveness. [Click the links for sources. I’m not the only person marveling at this woman’s unintelligence, especially today.] It’s going to be a long angry road to the Republican primary. Gird your loins. 1. 2.

Wikiality: Sarah Palin, Stephen Colbert, Paul Revere, and Bells
#PalinHistory 1 For those who have been trapped under something heavy, or have been transfixed by Anthony Weiner’s weiner, you may have missed an attempt by Palinistas to revise history to comport with Sarah Palin’s stupid recounting of Paul Revere’s midnight ride: The argument over whether Sarah Palin was misinformed about the historical facts of Paul [...]

The Entire Upcoming Republican Primary Campaign in 3:30 (or, the Brits got there first, as usual) Open Thread
Via the young Fry and Laurie, the next year of Republican campaigning distilled to its essence: This video goes into the dictionary next to the phrase “word salad.” Sarah Palin clearly took notes.

Sarah Gives Us a History Lesson on Paul Revere
The Beastie Boys did a better job… Sarah Palin was in Boston today, and she said Some More Unintelligible Things, Mowgli-style: The deadpan look on the the reporter’s face is priceless! It looks like she’s mind-yelling: “ENGLISH, MOTHERFUCKER! DO YOU SPEAK IT?!” à la Sam Jackson:

Who’s paying him?
Look, as a Democrat, I’m happy when people talk up Donald Trump and Sarah Palin as potential GOP nominees, not just because they’d make terrible general election candidates but because the GOP “brand” is hurt by its association with these two grifters. So I’m not bad that Mark Halperin is talking them up, not at [...]

Sarah Palin Visited the “Statute” of Liberty
Brains Wide Shut. Unless you’ve been trapped under something heavy for the past few days (or are sensible and have given up trying to follow the goings-on of Our Lady of Meese Hunting), you are likely aware that the “Rootin’ Tootin’ I Can See Putin” Sarah Palin Commemorative Family Vacation Slash Bus Tour is underway—and [...]

Open Thread: The Beauty of Professionalism
Janet Malcolm, professional assassin, has a NYRB review of “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” (now on DVD) that could serve as an entire seminar on the skillful disassemblage of a character. I’m not going to excerpt “Special Needs“, because it should be read as a piece—it’s only two pages, including one of Paul Krugman’s best quotes—but do [...]

Stand Up America: Palinites to Drive Their Cars and Then Pull Over and Sit There for an Hour
FREEEDUM! In a stunning display of Teabilly slacktivism, Palinites are planning to block traffic for an hour in order to – to – well what the fuck do I know what they’re doing it for:1 Sarah Palin called the Obama Administration’s actions as [sic] the “Road to Ruin”! [Uh, no. The Road to Ruin broke [...]

Sarah Palin’s Verbal Obama/Egypt-Related Diarrhea: It’s Worse Than We Thought
She’s STILL talking! A couple days ago I tried to make sense of Sarah Palin’s verbally craptastic criticism of Obama’s handling of the situation in Egypt. Well today, the Internet Lords have blessed us with more bullshit from Our Lady of Lock and Load, and it’s even more funny, gastrically distressing, mind-numbing blisteringly stupid than [...]

Some Words About Egypt and Obama Shot Out of Sarah Palin’s Face
She’s talking again. Sarah Palin has blissfully been silent about Egypt. Until now. In an interview with some dude at the Christian Broadcasting Network, Palin criticized Obama for his handling of Egypt:1 “It’s a difficult situation,” Ms. Palin told the Christian Broadcasting Network. “This is that 3 a.m. White House phone call, and it seems [...]

Open Thread: Sputnik, Not SDI
The DFHs of the lamestream media are, not for the first time, underestimating the low cunning behind Palin’s who-lost-the-space-race “gaffe”: “He needs to remember that, uh, what happened back then with the communist U.S.S.R. and their victory in that race to space,” the Fox News contributor said Wednesday night, reacting to Obama’s reference to Sputnik [...]

No matter how dispiriting your Monday looks to be, at least you weren’t responsible for the Steampunk Palin comic (“... fifteen pages of story, followed by eight pages of pin-ups of Sarah Palin”). I would credit the commentor responsible for the link, except I can’t find my note, and besides “credit” may not be the [...]
