Joe Miller gets a second chance to endorse Sarah Palin and he STILL can't bring himself to do it! Prepare for another grammatically incorrect and misspelled e-mail from Todd Palin in 3..2..1
I like how he says "Let me make this unequivocal" and then he goes and makes it all equivocal-like, and everything. Time to translate.
"Now let me be clear, I am not exactly saying that Sarah Palin would be the worst possible President in the history of the universe, I am saying that I think she could possibly, maybe, perhaps, not be too terribly, awfully, so bad, that the planet would explode in a ball of fire during her inaugural. But it is really not for me to say, because I am much more focused on fucking up Alaska."
I am making a HUGE bowl of popcorn in anticipation of Todd's e-mail meltdown.

Hmm looks like Iced Tea Baggers to me now!
ReplyDeleteya know, he's kind of got a point. The media is DESPERATE that someone will either spill the beans on her plans or will create lots of drama about her and 2012. He's completely right to dodge that bullet the way he's been doing.
ReplyDeleteNot to trivialize politics (ha)
but it brings to mind when paparazzi asks DWTS contestants what they think of Bolton/Bruno drama, hoping to stir the drama pot. All the dancers dodged those questions.
He sure worked on changing the subject didn't he! Slippery little devil. Wonder how many more times in interviews he will mention the non-feud between the Palins and the Murkowskis.
ReplyDeleteTodd still hasn't caught on that he is pathetic.
ReplyDeleteHas he?
Why should he pick a POTUS candidate now and possibly spoil his chances of picking a winner if he waits?
ReplyDeleteGee, do you think the message from his strategy meeting was to try to deflect this to Murkowski? He's just so subtle!!! Slimebags, the lot of them. Except McAdams, just being his honest self and watching the car crashes all around him. Mel
ReplyDeleteso is Sarah going to show up at the San Diego combat vets event this weekend or not?
ReplyDeleteJoe is now being headlined on the website's event invitation.
did she bail? would be fun to see the body language between the two of them.

Um, instead of iced tea, it sounds like someone has ordered up another Hot Toddy!
ReplyDeleteMy guess is that Toad is now on a tighter leash and that $arah took his blackberry away from him because the email he sent didn't get Joe to do backflips through the hoop when she snapped her fingers. I think $arah herself (not RAM) will take to her FB page and have a hissy fit telling Joe she's driving the bus and it's coming at him head-on, full speed.
ReplyDeleteJoe Miller is too small-time to whip the media into a feeding frenzy. Sorry, Gryphen, you're going to have to keep plodding along finding each and every little shred of evidence Sarah Palin was too careless to tidy up.
ReplyDeletePhones keep things these days. ... that line had a nice ring too it.
You know, it's not a trap. Todd attacked him, he should address Todd's concerns.
ReplyDeleteEasy-peasey - either she is qualified (other than being old - er, old enough and an American citizen)or not. I'd say he's trying to avoid saying she's not.
Why would the grifters think that an elite US Senator of Miller's impeccable standing would want to waste his time with any of their hillbilly nonsense? Good day Sirs!
ReplyDeleteThey'll probably even scrounge up someone literate to write the next email. Too bad Trig's not in school yet, he could definitely help dear ol' grandad out.
ReplyDeleteSo, bottom line, he unequivocally said that she meets the Constitutional requirement:
ReplyDeleteShe's a natural born citizen who is at least thirty-five years old and has lived in the United States for at least fourteen consecutive years.
In other words -- he danced right around that question despite the surprisingly strong and direct questioning.
Why does he keep referring to a Palin-Murkowski feud?
ReplyDeleteThe talking head specifically asked HIM whether he felt Palin was qualified and twice he makes reference to Murkowski-Palin.
How can there be "Quid Pro Quo" when there is no pro involved?
ReplyDeleteLooks like someone in the Miller camps reads this blog, too. Didn't someone already suggest the Haley Barbour "Constitutionally eligible" line?
ReplyDeleteIt must be hell being Tawd Paylin (that's not sympathy, just an observation).
ReplyDeleteRetaliation, spin, and a veiled threat from Toad via Twitler:
ReplyDeleteThere's no "there, there" but the lamestream media will keep on tryin'. See: http://is.gd/fOc4X less than 20 seconds ago via web
Toad's "response" at Weekly Standard.
My guess is Todd is seriously regretting the retraction from earlier. I can hear the next one.
ReplyDeleteToo bad we can't cut to a view of Todd, smiling and pointing at the Tee Vee as he sees an apology and correction about to happen and smiling and smiling and when it's all over...mouth open, scratching head and trying to decipher the sentences with words longer than 2 syllables and trying to figure out if he got punked.
ReplyDeleteThis has GOT to be a set-up to show how mavericky Joe is and how victimy $arah is.
ReplyDeleteI think he's telling the Palin's to piss off. The question in my mind is "why?"
ReplyDelete3:30, yeah, this is just like DWTS.
ReplyDeleteall Joe had to say is that $arah would make a fantastic prez if she were to run.
Hell, I'm "qualified" to be president, but I have the common sense to recognize that I don't have what it takes do the job. The quitter doesn't have that common sense.
ReplyDeleteWhat the Faux News bimbo should have asked Joe is "Does Sarah have what it takes to be president?"
That would have been a tougher question to dodge.
3:47, That's a good one! Hot Toddy! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThe question is: Is Sarah qualified?
ReplyDeleteI love how he is doing the FOX trick of pretending the question is: Is Sarah running?
And he throws Lisa in there to really muddy it up.
FOX deserves it.
This is great. It's not the "Lamestream media" pressing this, it's FOX for goodness sakes. Looks like the strategy of only talking to Fox may not work after all.
ReplyDeleteToward the end, he says "of course she's qualified"...i thought he finally answered the question...but then i listened again. He said she's qualified as defined in the constitution. So, basically, she's "qualified" because she's older than 35 and was born here. Oh man. Parsing words and covering his arse. Next question: Joe--do you think she would make a GOOD PRESIDENT??
ReplyDeleteJoe Miller is a pompous ass who probably thinks HE should be president and thinks Sarah Palin is an imbecile (he's right about the second one).
ReplyDeleteThere is no honor among thieves.
ReplyDeleteJoe is up to something. He is not a stupid man, although he plays one on TV.
ReplyDeleteLove her or hate her, no one can deny that Sarah Palin is a genius when it comes to being an entrepreneur
ReplyDeleteSeriously, what is going on?
ReplyDeleteThe email is leaked from the Miller end (?) showing Toad in full pit bull.
Then Toad comes crawling back with his tail between his legs "No, no, it was really all a mistake, no problem here..."
Then Miller kind of tells them to F Off with the condescending "constitutionally qualified". And makes those toss off references to the "Murkowski Palin feud".
What game is he playing here?
4:04pm Anon
ReplyDeleteWhoa there! Miller is not a senator yet. Let's not entitle him to something that he has not yet been elected to.
did the trolls give up?
ReplyDeleteigettit2 said...What game is he playing here?
ReplyDeleteMiller's constant, unprompted references to the Murkowski-Palin feud might be a reminder to the grifters that if Miller goes under the bus, Murkowski wins- he's their best choice, no matter what. Holy cow!
Gryphen, your translation is extremely too funny!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat nice Christians the Palins are! And what a nice, fine upstanding guy Joe is.
ReplyDeleteWhy hasn't anyone acknowldged the role the Democrats played in getting him elected? He owes a lot of the Dems a huge thanks for making it through the primaries!
5;26, Sarah Palin is no entrepreneur.
ReplyDeleteShe is a slick con artist who is leveraging our reality TV/ celebrity pop culture. She has used the Alaska mystique to hide behind and the sexy librarian to tease the sound-bite Media.
The fact that she's a good looking woman is what nails it. If she were ugly, it would be a no-go.
Hell, most of it is ALASKA. If she were to hail from, say, Alabama or Utah, it would be pure Yawn.
@5:26 wrote: "Love her or hate her, no one can deny that Sarah Palin is a genius when it comes to being an entrepreneur."
ReplyDeleteEntrepreneur? Don't make me laugh. What is her innovative business? Selling lies to old angry white people? Back where I come from, we call that "conning."
By the way, "genius" is usually referenced in regards to achieving a certain threshold of IQ or artistic achievement. Perhaps you feel she is a con artist? Agreed.
The most telling thing of all for me is Millers comment "Do you see what we are dealing with?"It sounds as though he has pointed this out before,and as if "what we are dealing with" is a regular occurence.
ReplyDeleteAs much of a douchebag this guy is, he is obviously educated and probably well connected in DC. I love it that he is not slobbering all over Palin and she must be soooooooo pissed off. I don't like him as a potential Senator, but I admire his tenacity for not kissing her ass. I still have lots of popcorn....enough to last through the midterms. :)
ReplyDeleteJoe Miller has obviously crunched the numbers and realized that Sarah's support, or supporting Sarah, is no way to get elected in the general election. Being connected to Sarah was only a good ploy in the primary election because the wingnuts have pretty well taken over the Republican party in Alaska. (remember, this is the party that will willingly vote for a crook because "He is our crook"! Not to mention all the Federal pork some of Alaska's crooks bring home) But in a general election where his vote will be split by Lisa, he needs to sound reasonable to anyone he can to have a chance at winning. Trouble is, he's already tainted himself with Palin goo. And to top it off, his own past and hypocrisy is coming back to haunt him.
ReplyDeleteReally, Sarah's vindictiveness aimed at Lisa and Lisa's vindictiveness right back, forced Joe into a corner where he has to distance himself from Sarah and her clan.
I love Karma!
Rick
I only meant Sarah is an entrepreneur the same way a successful actor is an entrepreneur. It takes great PR skill to market yourself for optimal exposure without overdoing it. Just when the country almost forgets she's alive, something happens.
ReplyDeleteTaking advantage of Supply and demand is not conning. Her listeners know what they're getting. Opportunism is only one facet of being an entrepreneur.
The question remains: what's her staying power?
I'm just being realistic, as I work in high-end entertainment venues and with marketing firms and am always looking for new approaches and innovators.

ReplyDelete---
Sarah Palin is a puppet. Her medications keep her within the functional range required by the puppeteers.
The all-morning for a facebook post kind of undercuts your genius claim. Maybe you could get Todd to re-write that e-mail.
Sarah's not the only one who can blab on and on and not answer questions. Miller wasn't going to answer her gotcha question. Hilarious.
ReplyDeleteSo what's Miller's game? Is he now in the Huckabee camp?
Poor Sarah.
ReplyDeleteShe's caught between a Joe Miller and a Lisa Murkowski.
She certainly can't endorse Scott McAdams.
To the tune of The Adams Family:
ReplyDeleteThey’re sneaky and they’re spooky
A few of them are kooky

OK! Here's what i got out of Joe's non-endorsement endorsement of Sarah for President:
ReplyDeleteJoe's planning on winning this race for Senate. Then, next fourth of July he's going to announce he's quitting his job as Senator so he can run for President.
Ergo, he's banking all his comments about Sarah's qualifications for next year when he plans on using them against her to further his own career :)
Sneaky li'l bastard eh?
I think that if Joe gets elected, Sarah goes under his bus. Joe's been in DC talking to future colleagues and generally getting to know important folk. Joe appears to be interested in money and power. To the big guys, he has to be a much better puppet than Sarah who goes rogue. Alaska is a useful platform for him. Who needs Sarah anymore?
ReplyDelete6:46 PM Anonymous
ReplyDeleteYou imply that Sarah Palin is in charge and hope we don't notice that's impossible given her limited intellect.
nice try.
As the Palin's spin, with a little help from Hannity - they have now insinuated that the email was hacked... Much better spin than acknowledging that they got caught - Palin Mafia in action...
ReplyDeleteAnon 6:46:
ReplyDeleteTroll or SP herself?
OT- Forbes list of 100 most influential women is out. Michelle Obama is #1. The Tundra Turd is #16 behind Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres. Oooh that's got to hurt!
ReplyDeleteLast month, Miller had no problem with saying that Palin was qualified to be POTUS. Something has happened since then:
ReplyDelete1) Miller has realized that his ties to Palin are not a plus in the general election because he has to attract the moderates, not just Palin's extreme evangelical base.
2) The Palins have tried to butt into his campaign too much ("Do you see what I'm dealing with?")
3) Joe has been talking with higher-ups in the GOP since he won the primary, and is now privy to the big GOP secret that Palin is actually toxic, and there's no way in hell that she'll get the GOP nomination for 2012.
Any or all of the above. At any rate, he's unloading the Palins like unwanted ballast. Karma, baby.
OT, but I read this on Huffpo. Posted by Baily's Mom:
ReplyDeleteKim Chatman, the Alaskan who filed the successful ethics complaint against $arah Palin and her illegal PAC, just tweeted this last week. She is referring to a time when $arah claimed that $he was seven months along:
“We saw you in Fairbanks after you announced your pregnancy, you were not pregnant. Trig is a political prop.”
On her FB page, she also wrote “Now is the time to tell it – I know for a fact that $arah Palin was not pregnant with Trig, my kids observed it too. We saw her in Fairbanks (indoors, no coats) after she announced her pregnancy, she had no baby bump whatsoever. That’s when I started doubting her, prior to that I thought she was great.”

Could Joe have some of the keys to Toad's wife's closet. Just think what a hero he would be in AK, in the whole world, if he was the one to take Toad's wife down. It could only be a big win for him. Do it, Joe, be a hero!
ReplyDeleteOff-topic. Megan McCain's article on the Daily Beast.
ReplyDeletehttp://tinyurl.com/2952xal
"When Meghan McCain went on her book tour, Palin dominated the conversation. Then the former Alaska gov made it known through a third party she didn’t appreciate McCain’s tell-all."
If it's true that Joe the Miller was interviewed on 9/19 (the day that Dud complained to him) but wasn't screened until 9/23 .... I want to know who thought it was so important that Dud and his missus know all about it right away ....
ReplyDeleteMegan! Woman, what's got into you? You are doing REAL JOURNALISM!
ReplyDelete"Let me make this unequivocal ... the Constitution lays out what is required to be President, and she clearly qualifies..." WTF? You mean, Joe, that she's over 35 and a native born citizen? Wow, talk about writing a new chapter in PROFILES OF COURAGE!
OT but....did you hear Rachel tonight say that Palin got $800,000.00 for the speech she gave last night?
ReplyDeleteThe bitch just won't stop taking people's money.
My dog could give a better speech for far less.
I think it is disturbing that Sarah Palin made that list at all. Frightening. I wish there was a list of "Most Toxic Women in America." She'd be # 1 on that list for sure. Followed by Christine O'Connell, Sharon Angle, Jan Brewer, Michele Bachman... the list goes on and on.
ReplyDelete@8:28 - it can't be $P herself or the Hot Toddy; they've documented & displayed their collective level of literacy in their e-mails. And it also isn't someone in entertainment, as no one in entertainment thinks all successful actors are "entrepreneurs." Actually, anyone "looking for innovators" would not be looking at the totally retro career of $P, especially since she has lost popularity since 2008 and exhibits the classic signs of brand decline.
ReplyDeleteJoe's body language shows that he doesn't think she's qualified. He is shaking his head no as he is speaking. It's quite clear.

ReplyDelete"Joe's planning on winning this race for Senate. Then, next fourth of July he's going to announce he's quitting his job as Senator so he can run for President."
ReplyDeleteOr Governor of AK or a position in the reTHUG party or lobbyist for big oil. Whichever, it sounds like JOey is the reTHUG method to get rid of Sarah - hmmmm, anyone seen Karl Rove lately?
Notice how he also blows the dog whistle to birthers when he talks about Palin meeting the Constitutional requirement for the presidency, implying Obama does not?
