Rachel Maddow explains that Paul Ryan is NOT a fiscal conservative, and that Sarah Palin is simply no longer relevant to the discussion.
"Mostly she and her family are just doing reality shows now. She had a reality show, her daughter had a reality show, plus the dancing thing, and now her husband has a new reality shoe as well. Nobody in current Republican politics calls themselves a 'Sarah Palin' Republican."
God I loved that.
And Rachel's take done of Paul Ryan is a thing of beauty. This is a MUST SEE segment!

Maddow speaks to the intelligentsia. She used the word "profligacy"; we get it, but would Fox News ever use that word? She tries so hard but the only people that watch her are the people that already realize what a bunch or "morans" the right is. There is no hope for them; a fair dose of Rachel wouldn't ever change their minds because most of what she says is over their heads.
ReplyDeleteDitto here on Rachel. She does a good job of explaining on different levels as well. My son started watching her show with me during the BP Deep Horizon spill when he was in the 10th grade, and that's when I actually noticed how much research she was putting into the nuts and bolts of a topic.
DeleteShe prepared well by reading all of the safety reports, etc., and my son pointed out to me that she was discussing the same things that their instructor had talked about in classes (Physics). It made an impression on me that he noticed that "Dad, she asks some good questions. She's done a lot of homework and she's guiding his answers to teach the audience the important things do it's not too complicated."
The next day or so, I was listening to Hannity on the radio and my son asked me, "Are you listening to this guy because it's funny to hear him whine and complain? Because I know he's full of it on a lot of the stuff he said about the President's wife and President Obama."
The only I could think of was to say that it was just entertainment, satire or listening to someone talk just to hear their own voice." When he said, "Like Rush Limbaugh?", I nearly lost it laughing. I didn't know he knew the name. But he had Hannity nailed from that point on.
I might've known the meaning of the word propaganda when I was in high school, but i don't know if I could've differentiated between a good source and a terribly biased source based on a short exposure. I was glad that his BS detector was on regardless of what he was being exposed to.
Sarah,
ReplyDeleteHave you googled Ayn Rand yet?
Jes' Wonderin'!
You know she damn sure didn't slog through 'Atlas Shrugged.' I doubt she could have even followed the CliffsNotes on that book.
DeleteBut she read the transcripts of O'Biden's 'disgusting' remarks and Mitt's response. Surrrrrrre you did Sarah, cause everybody believes you when you say you 'read.'
DeleteNews flash, we know you only read prayer warrior emails and IM.
Sarah doesn't have the attention span to even read the GOP talking points and now she's reading speech transcripts? lol
DeleteShow me Trig's birth cert and I'll believe you, Sarah.
Sarah Palin doesn't read anything that doesn't have Fabio's naked chest on the cover.
DeleteI am to the point I can not watch Robme or Eddie Munster....the lies are just so bad, saying Obama is dividing the country and promoting hate, that did it for me. The welfare lie, the medicare lie...the budget lies, now that scumbag judge in PA, when you see his comments on upholding the voter ID law..jeez. I hope and pray enough of us vote every single one of those horrible republicans out of office...for good. I want to take my country back. It is beyond my comprehension how anyone could possibly vote for these 2 and say they love this country.
ReplyDeleteGryphen & Everyone,
ReplyDeleteI know there's very little love for Chris Matthews, but you have to watch this segment from tonight. It's short and actually painless as it doesn't involve Chris talking to or questioning anyone!!
It's a must see of Bill Maher comparing Ryan and Palin.

It was good! and Jon Stewart also did a segment on Palin with pics over the last 4 years - a definite must see.
DeleteIn the Jon Stewart clips, $arah's different hair do's and wigs are priceless over the years! ...
DeleteAs will be the pics of The Chin on DWTS pre-and post 'overbite fix.'
oh my.... the palins are sure in the news these days, and the press is not favorable.
DeleteSarah would not understand the 'big words'.
ReplyDeleteEvident is a three syllable word. Make it four when she added -ly. She was so proud of her new favorite word she used it ten times in one of her word salads going after Dick Cheney.
DeleteIf you think about it, there are not that many people who can use a particular word, say "evidently", for instance, 4 times in one sentence. I tried, and it's hard to not laugh when you hear yourself saying the same shit as Sarah. That's why Tina Fey was the funniest when she quoted Sarah directly.
DeleteSarah is a comedic genius playing a political analyst. She just isn't paid as well as Will Ferrell.
As Sarah continues her warp-speed slide into irrelevancy, I'll bet she'll decide to cash in her last chips and finally come clean on how Trig came to be.
ReplyDeleteThe big reveal won't come cheap though. The interview will be granted for the right price because of all the "hurt telling the story will cause her fammmilleee." Getting that last fat paycheck will be enough to soothe the hurt because it will beat the hell out of finding a real job and it will keep her in the headlines for just a little longer.
And her spin would be, "I chose life for this child of God to fulfill my Servant's Heart."
DeleteShe's only got Fox, People and InTouch that will pay. No one else will bite as they can't believe the crap she says. They've seen her interviews, her books, etc.
DeleteYou are right! I never realized that for all the Palin supporters out there, none of them describe themselves as a Palin Conservative. Because there is no such thing. She's a hypocritical conservative talking-point spokesmodel for sure, but when you get down to it, she a fluffer. But not good enough to warm up the RNC Convention. LOL.
ReplyDeleteShe says herself she's been saying the same thing since 2008 and that she's eager to hear new voices. New voices like, John McCain?
Sarah, that "L" on your forehead is not a surveyor's mark, it's for LOSER.
Rachel just cuts straight through the BS and tells it like it is. That was really excellent on every point.
ReplyDeleteRachel Maddow is on a roll again tonight: she's talking about the Pennsylvania court decision that is going to disenfranchise a huge number of voters, mostly Democrats among the elderly, poor, and other. The person in charge of educating the PA public about the new voter ID requirements is a Republican bundler for Romney. This is a horrific development. That judge is an idiot.
ReplyDeleteM from MD
I know the DOJ is reluctant to be thought of as meddling and it isn't likely to change the election results, but it is so unfair on an individual rights basis. DOJ needs to act on principles here. 2000 and 2004 election tactics shouldnt be allowed, even in an electoral blowout. Period.
DeleteThe only people who thought Palin was relevant was her supporters (who always will. Kind of like Obamabots who refuse to see his lies) and her haters who grift off her name with their malicious, slanderous blog posts.
ReplyDeleteYOU keep her relevant to pad your wallet, and thats a sad statement on you.
List the lies right here so we can all see them. We're waiting...
DeleteYeah, that's what I thought.
I'm sorry how does talking about Sarah Palin "pad my wallet?"
DeleteDo people really think I make any significant amount of money off of this blog? Oh that is fucking hysterical.
5:25 PM How does Sarah pad her pockets? By GRIFTING from you Palinbots. And you are stupid enough to keep paying into her GRIFTERPAC. Most of the Blog posts about Sarah and her Wasillabilly Family are TRUE. As for Sarah Palin's name, the GOP has no more use for her. You Palinbots continue to think that she is relevant, because you are the only FOOLS who do.
Delete"Who always will".....Her supporters, that she is confident in, will be gone is 3 months after our Pres. Is re-elected. Then what bitch?
DeleteGryphen is doing everybody a favor, doing America a favor.
DeleteIf it wasn't for Gryphen and the Immoral Minority bloggers we might have an unqualified losing beauty pageant contestant in the White House with her pimp husband running a prostitution ring from the West Wing and her Wasilla Hill Billy family stealing everything and anything they could get their hands on after John McCain's Air Force One jet mysteriously crashes due to contaminated fuel.
We owe the likes of Gryphen, Malia Litman, Sarah Palin Has A Serpent's Heart and the others more than you could ever imagine.
Yeah, they're all rich now and are the 1%. LOL!
Deleteoh you poor little fool 5:25.
DeleteWell, hell... you can't find anything about $arah anywhere else out there on the innertubes, and i appreciate Gryphen holding his nose and posting interesting tidbits about $arah (along with his generous dose of reasonable politics and ethics).
DeletePresident Obama dismisses Sarah like the joke that she is...'chatter' to be ignored.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.mediaite.com/tv/obama-responds-to-romneys-accusations-of-waging-campaign-based-on-hatred/
And speaking of Biden — what about Sarah Palin‘s advice that Obama swap out Biden for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton? The president dismissed it, saying they don’t pay attention to all the “chatter.”
“Most folks know that’s just sort of a WWF wrestling part of politics,” he said. “It doesn’t mean anything, just fills up a lot of airtime.”
A sarah palin republican.That's priceless.Roflmao.Is that like a Colonel Sanders chicken.Too funny.
ReplyDeleteStick a fork in Palin, she's done.
ReplyDeleteNow, now, now... that's a fictitious fork. Don't everyone start lining up with their forks and sporks.
Stick a "pitch" fork in Palin, she's done.
DeleteThe wicked witch from Wasilla is melting..melting..
DeleteI recall Palin spinning herself to be like Reagan who had been an actor when she began her reality tv path and her one episode Fox faux interview show.
ReplyDeletePalin spun SPA as a "documentary" which her supporters accepted, agreeing to the lie thus embracing Palin had a servants heart for AK.
Palin did just enough in politics to confuse and control attention as a possible future presidential candidate. She was pursuing more reality shows deceiving her supporters taking advantage of them for her personal gain. Palin used people leading them down a primrose path. The remaining bots need to blame for truth surely hurts to accept you were had.
The well will run dry. This will be good for our country, politicians and for the Palin offspring.
Hopefully the GOP can prevent Palin from her pattern of revenge tactics that would disgrace their convention. They can tell all exposing her.
Sarah whoooooo?
ReplyDeleteYou mean that aging wrinkly granny in Alaska who had sex with a black out of state college basketball player in her sister's college dorm room while dating Todd Palin, who was pregnant before marriage, whose mother Sally Heath was pregnant before marriage, whose daughter Bristol was pregnant before marriage, whose son Track's girlfriend was pregnant before marriage, whose husband is a pimp and had sex with his prostitute Shailey Tripp according to Shailey's book Boys Will Be Boy, who has 3 kids out of high school with no plans of going to or qualifying for college, whose daughter is a homophobic, whose grandson is homophobic, who got a breast implant, who scammed a lot of people for money pretending to run for president, who put her little town in debt as mayor by screwing up the hockey rink deal, who made John McCain lose his presidential election, who got her SarahPAC to pay for her family summer vacation, who had to write on her hand with a sharpie to remember what she had to say, who faked giving birth, who took money from people who hoped to convince her to run for president and she didn't run and kept the money anyway, whose kid was involved in breaking and entering and wasn't charged?
That Sarah?
Never heard of her!
Hahaha! I'd have to say you don't know her well!
DeleteAfter reading this true synopsis of Sarah Palin's life you have to wonder how she ever conned the people of Wasilla, the people of Alaska, John McCain, the GOP, the TEA Party and her followers all these years with her pitiful life story and failures.
DeleteJust imagine what she could of done if she actually had a brain and was knowledgeable instead of being a carnival barker. If Sarah Palin had any type of brain with her evil mean soul, she could of been another Hitler.
Thank God Sarah Palin is as dumb as 3rd grader and never really took power.
Must see! Jon Stewert tonight on Sarah Palin... the pics are priceless!
ReplyDeleteCan't believe Sarah Palin's 15 minutes of fame was worth embarrassing her family and destroying her image just to get her family on reality shows. Yes the Palins conned people out of money, but was it really worth it? The Palin and Heath generations to follow will forever have the burden of being remembered as the demon seeds of the Sarah Palin Curse.
ReplyDeleteMaddow's report made me realize there are millions of people who like to call themselves "fiscal conservatives" yet have not the slightest clue as to what that term even means.
ReplyDeleteIt SOUNDS good, though, doesn't it? People who don't like to admit they play with miniature trains call themselves "ferroequinologists" (iron horse devotees) as it sounds so much more respectable.
At least they know what it MEANS.
Wait a minute - am I hearing an echo?
ReplyDeletehttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/15/john-mccain-hillary-clinton-for-vp_n_1784454.html
Let me guess, they've found some nit picky tidbit on Hillary?
You remember the "Pumas" who were so upset that Pres Obama beat Hillary,and then upset he didn't choose her for VP?I think Sarah and McCain are trying to stir them up
DeleteMy thought exactly, 10:22.
DeleteThe irrelevant always claw onto the spotlight like a drowning person to a chunk of driftwood.
ReplyDeleteGuarantee, she will do a reprise of her Thunder Stillin' bus tour and try to upstage any and all at the RNC.
I am positive every security guard, cop, and entryway guardian/ticket taker have been told personally- DO NOT LET HER IN.
I'm thinking she won't be able to stand it way back at the strip center mall where her "brand" is on par with Michael Vick's Dog Training Videos. No, she will show up on the grounds of the venue WITH a camera crew because she has learned by now people congregate where there's cameras.
She will say she's just "try'n to suppert our pardy, just a reg-yew-lur citizen, don't mind me!"
But of course she will do everything possible to wrench the spotlight toward herself, including getting a rent-a-Trig or drugging up one of the real ones.
You just know she has an internal dialog going-
"How DARE they not invite me! I practically brought their stupid party back to life! I AM the most prominent republican in the country!"
Finally I'm sure she will ice that crap filled cake by saying, after she has caused a huge security breach and generally tried as hard as she could to get a crowd together/hopped up on hate- she will play dumb (so hard!) and whine about how you have to listen to the people and if rill people want her, then by golly she's gonna be there for tha rill people!
She'll pull something. There absolutely no chance she'll allow this event to occur without sticking her nose in it somehow.
DeleteMaybe she'll send Scientology a huge donation to get Greta to help her.
1:08: I agree. She, who will not be ignored, will show up and try and take attention away from Rmoney. I'm sure Fox News will have her on quite a bit, live, from the convention as their very own "pre-eminent guest commenator"!
DeleteAnd what she'll do the most will be, of course, bash Obama.
Jon Stewart Blasts ‘Divisive’ Charge Against Obama By Chronicling GOP’s Own Divisiveness, he takes on Lego Hair:
ReplyDelete"And then there’s Sarah Palin, who argued that no prominent Republican spews the kind of divisive rhetoric that the left has been using. Stewart begged to differ, proceeding to run a clip of comments by Palin herself — ranging from accusing Obama of palling around with terrorists and calling Nancy Pelosi a dingbat, to, “They’re like dead fish.”
There are only two explanations, Stewart concluded: “One, not even Sarah Palin believes she’s a prominent Republican anymore or, two, Sarah Palin can no longer hear herself speak. You can read about it in my new book The Luckiest Woman in America.”
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/jon-stewart-blasts-divisive-charge-against-obama-by-chronicling-gops-own-divisiveness/
Ok,now my face hurts!Who knew all of that laughing could where out your facial muscles?
Deletehttp://www.mediaite.com/tv/jon-stewart-blasts-divisive-charge-against-obama-by-chronicling-gops-own-divisiveness/
ReplyDeleteBTW you can see all her crazy wigs in this one clip.LOL
HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH!
DeleteThat is awesome!
OK, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Sarah Palin will experience a complete physical breakdown by October 15.
Who wants the over/under?
Oh YAY! Karma time has arrived at last!
ReplyDeleteI bet $arah ends up on the talk show circuit as a host of some dumb show. Or maybe on that network that sells all the stuff - QVC? I don't think $he will be in much demand on the speaker's circuit.
ReplyDeleteQVC? She could probably sell her bing for oh a moth or two.
DeleteShe's not reliable enough to have a talk show.
DeleteI actually believe it's still possible she could end up in jail one day. I'm fairly certain she's laundering money somehow through SarahPAC, and I'm 100% certain she's engaging in tax evasion with it. On the latter, she clearly uses it for personal purposes, from family vacations to, I suspect, legal retainers for legal counsel completely unrelated to political matters.
DeleteSomeone is eventually going to drop the hammer on her, and I base this on simple mathematical odds. You cannot screw over the number of people she has without it coming back to bite you really hard at some point. And most of these people are in her own political party. I think she knows this, which is why she tries to toe the line, albeit not very successfully, with the GOP party.
Who knows, maybe that's why they are keeping her away from the convention. Maybe they know something really unpleasant is on the horizon and they want to put enough advance distance between her and the party.
But if her own party doesn't doesn't see to this, I suspect Obama will. Hey, he got bin Laden, didn't he? He got universal healthcare passed into law, didn't he? Does anyone honestly think this president is finished with righting the most grievous wrongs done to America?
I don't think she could be host of a talk show. To do that, you have to be able to at least convincingly fake interest in your guests and whatever they accomplished that got them on your show. Palin is incapable of doing that.
DeleteRemember that abysmal Fox show where she was supposed to host and interview real American heroes? She couldn't do it. She can't handle a situation where she is supposed to put the attention on someone else. You can tell that it sticks in her craw to take the attention off herself.
And her stupid "Alaska's Sarah Palin" show? Why didn't she just help us learn how oh, halibut fishing worked by focusing on the people actually doing the job? She had to horn in and have herself filmed bumbling around.
She's like Bette Midler in Beaches: "But enough about me, let's talk about you,........what do You think about me?"
I loved the entire show!!! Dr Rachel Maddow loves what she does and does it so well. She prepares and researches different angles than other journalists. I just ordered her book on kindle, and skimmed through it, can't wait to read it!
ReplyDeleteRachel needs a wider audience, perhaps a television talk show in prime time, a radio program or even produce and narrate documentaries. She did a great job with the Tiller Story.
Anyway, she's one of my favorite political wonks, she almost redeemed herself for snubbing McGuiness, this smack down was top notch!
