Todd and I are #OnDutyForJoni Ernst as she steps away from the Iowa campaign trail to continue her service to our country in uniform. Joni is a strong conservative running a positive, optimistic campaign for U.S. Senate in the Hawkeye State, and she’s had our full support for many months now.
Todd? Wait Todd is an Ernst supporter as well?
Wow, what a coincidence.
It's almost as if he really has no choice and is told who to support, what to say, and when to get his damn picture taken.
However you cannot blame Palin for pulling hard on Toad's choke collar, after all Ernst might be the only Palin endorsee to stand an actual a chance of winning her race this election cycle.
P.S. What do you think Todd is thinking in that picture?
I feel a caption contest coming on.
When is this loony tune going to kick the bucket so I can be with a real woman.
ReplyDelete"I wonder if Joni is going to castrate me, the dude, if I don't endorse her b/c sarah already has one of my balls in her sealskin purse...."?
DeleteWHAT IS WRONG WITH HER NOSE in that picture? Blow up the pic, and it looks like she had some rhinoplasty (nosejob) that hasn't healed yet or went way wrong!
DeleteIt turns out HBO really did try to wrangle Sarah Palin into a cameo role on the vampire drama "True Blood."
ReplyDeletehttp://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/true-blood-sarah-palin-cameo
True Blood has been on for a whole lot of seasons. I wonder exactly WHEN this was offered, since if it was early on, while Sarah was in demand at the beginning of people not knowing much about her, then TB was jumping on the bandwagon of her temporary popularity and newness. I suspect that is the case.

The article mentions Episode 5 which aired in October 2008. This was during that brief window when Sarah was popular but before it was obvious she was a moron. No chance for an offer like that these days.
DeleteSarah is on a long list of Republicunts who have endorsed that witch from Iowa. There's nothing outstanding about her endorsement when you've got the bigwigs rootin' for the pig castrator. Sarah has just jumped on the bandwagon, as usual.

Sarah needs to find out about the relationship Todd had with Shailey Tripp.
How come the Palins never challenged Shailey Tripp's accusations?
They challenged Shailey Tripp's accusations they only way they know how--like criminals...like the mob. Poor Shailey.

DeleteNice talons, Palin. You might consider wearing gloves so not as many people find you completely repulsive. You are one gross individual.
ReplyDeleteShe tried to "soften" her neck and forgot about the talons and granny-as--look. And Todd is trying to pose like "michael-angelo " What a joke of a couple of lazy-ass-grifters.

Sarah, you're a bit slow. Joni's silly hashtag campaign started on July 10th. Where have you been, Sarah, what took you so long? Did nobody ask you? Are you not one of the popular wingnut welfare kids any more?
ReplyDeleteAnd why do you have tell the world that you jumped on the piggy lady's bandwagon "many months" ago? Are folks noticiing you waiting to see which way the wind is blowing before 'endorsing'?
You're such a slacker, Mrs Palin.
Totally agree, Anonymous 6:57. Also, too, at this point Sarah will do almost anything to get herself noticed. Holding up a piece of printer paper for a publicity pic...big deal...LOL.
DeleteWhat's wrong with Sarah Palin's hand? You can almost see her bones from her fingertips to her wrist.
ReplyDeleteI predict pretty soon that old woman will start wearing white gloves. You read it here first.

DeleteChoice to make ... do you put a kiddie slide on grass, or on rocks?
ReplyDeleteI will guess only idiots like Sarah and Todd put it on rocks.

Notice that too. Wtf? Who would you put a children's slide on gravel? Smh
Deletethe slide is for little Trigg. WTF what kind of sickos are we talking about here....
DeletePeople like you have NEVER had a nice lawn obviously. Between kids running and playing and the damn pets pooping and pissing it runs up the lawncare bills like you wouldn't believe.

Todd could pass for Morning Joe in the photo.
ReplyDelete$carah looks like she's taking a shit...look at her face...I think she means she's going on "doody" for Joni--you know how she can't spell or communicate well.
ReplyDeleteYes, Todd is really excited about supporting Joni, you can see it in his face and in his smile. But it's only because Sarah offered him something special tonight if he did it, although Todd knows from his past experience it's nothing to get too excited over knowing from his past experiences. Maybe Sarah could help liven it up some if she wore one of her Belmont's, even if it's only something to fantasize over.
ReplyDeleteCaption: "I hate flyin' the 'Merican flag fer these photo ops. Hey, AIP buds. This is just another ruse to fool the lower 48." (wink)

"Who's that flipping us the bird?"
"I hate this bitch."
"Fuck! She stinks. Must've shit herself again."
LOL I laughed at his picture before I even read anything. Todd looks like he could care less and even his fingers are covering some of the lettering. Looks like he's embarrassed and thinking, "This god damn woman and her idiotic ideas!"
ReplyDeleteMy gosh. The things Todd has to do for allowance money. Hey I thought Sarah didn't approve of hash tags or selfies since Barack & Michelle did it first? Still hypocritical and not an original idea in her head. We know she loves bumper sticker sayings though.
Where's the fish? Why aren't they holding up pig testicles?
DeleteShe knows which side to show Todd to turn him on, gotta give her credit for something.
DeleteShe needs to mention Toad so that she can pay him his "cut" from the CPac postage disbursements.
ReplyDeleteWell, since his shirt says "The Auction Block Co.", my entry for the caption contest is
ReplyDelete"Won't someone pleeeeease give me an opening bid on my ex-wife?"
Todd: What's in it for us? I mean, what god does it do holding this stupid piece of paper? On duty? I'm not going into the army.
ReplyDeleteHopefully Ernst takes her National Guard duty more seriously than she takes her political duties. She was absent for many, many votes then lied about being on duty with the guard. Someone checked the dates and discovered that was a lie. Who votes for these lying deadwood candidates? Toad "Gee, I hope nobody is putting water in MY gas tank"
ReplyDeleteOMG, that picture of Tawd is so funny! He's thinking, "Okay, you can make me stand here and hold your f#@ing sign but I don't have to like it." And she's so stupid that she thinks that's good enough. She has no clue how ridiculous it looks and that people see right through the charade. Her little photo op makes it clear that Tawd is fed up with her and her antics. MAJOR FAIL, Quitter!
ReplyDeleteTawdry's thinking about his two-tone tiny and wondering how protected it is.

DeleteThumbs up from this female camper!
DeleteI remember when "do your doody" was baby talk for making a poop in the toilet. It's an expression of toilet training. Goes the the pig castration image, I guess
DeleteTodd: God this is embarrassing! She wanted this ridiculous deck behind me.. crap it's not even code! I will deny building it i mean jeez no railings around the second level, the lower level looks like the roof is about to fall on someones head and the stairs.. don't even get me started they are so steep and narrow it's a joke but all i heard was "Todd we need to save money! you build it! we don't need a fancy contractor to tell US about codes!" so here i am posing near it. And the slide you say? What? so the kids slide down and hit gravel, no biggie, hey they are lucky she even bought one.
ReplyDeleteGreat comment, but I think the railings on the deck are the same ones used in the Wasilla Sports Complex (hockey rink) that Sarah ordered while Mayor of Wasilla. She and Todd took leftover building materials (or had the contractor order too many materials) and used the excess materials to have the contractor build their Lake L. house. Check out the pictures on the internet, and Gryphen has posted some stories on this ultimate grift, too.
DeleteThose two criminals in those two pictures do not deserve any comments except:why aren't they in prison yet?
ReplyDeleteThe kiddie slide, OTOH, deserves one: who in their right mind puts a baby slide ON GRAVEL instead on grass???
they don't want to mess up the grass...
DeleteAnd yet sarah's kneeling goose shit on that same, already messed up grass. Would you rather have geese or your own precious kids on your lawn? We know Sarah's answer.
DeleteWait a minute!!! That slide is too small for Trig or Tripp!!! That slide is for an up to two years old baby.
DeleteHMMMMM...
Very interesting....I see where they placed Trigg's slide. Wow!

DeleteExactly, which is why I'm questioning why Sarah would want to look like Jan Brewer. Next thing she'll be trying to look like Arapaio.

DeleteIt must be the Arizona look. That explains bristol's veneers as well. Now I get IT!
DeleteIt looks like she got a nose-tip implant to go with the look...lol..that's a new one!

ReplyDeleteGryphen, read your blog every day, it's informative and fun. I have two suggestions: wish you'd go with Disqus so we could thumbs up comments. Also, any chance of switching to one of bloggers mobile/responsive themes to make it easier to read on tablets and phones?
ReplyDeletefuck discus. taht is all.
DeleteDiscus is the work of the devil I don't believe in.
DeleteWhy not just post that we appreciate a comment?
Whatever you do, Gryphen, DO NOT go with Discus. It is a complete disaster, takes forever to load, keeps track of every comment made, and then people go back into your comment history and attack based on that. Your anonymous posting choice is the only one I would ever use. If you want to 'upvote' a post, just reply with a positive comment, it's easy, it's anonymous, unless you choose otherwise, and there's no record or history of your comments. Discus is a bad, bad, bad option. Period.
DeleteYes I hate Disqus as well and will NEVER have it on my blog.
DeleteI can't remember where, must've have wanted to make a comment and had to download discus, took forever to load finally I said the hell with it and left without commenting

She's turning into Cruella deVille. Her super-arched eyebrows with that scrunched up nose and thin lips. She's all about looks, so why does she pose like that?
ReplyDeleteIf I were Ms. Ernst, I would ask the Palins to stay the fuck out of the picture if they can't show more enthusiasm than this. Seriously, who's Ernst's running against? Whoever it is should be using these pix to campaign against Ernst.
ReplyDeleteTodd is clearly looking fed up with this fakery. The only difference between his grifting ways and Sarah's is that Sarah is paranoid that people will think she's fake. She pretends and is obsessed with appearing good.

ReplyDeleteESPN Host Takes a Break From Football to Discuss Women’s Responsibility to Avoid Being Beaten (Video)
Nestled between the occasional reminder that it’s not OK to hit women were helpful hints to women–like if you don’t want your man to beat you, don’t give him a reason!
“We also have to make sure that we learn as much as we can,” Smith says, “about elements of provocation.”
He added that, while there’s no true provocation, women need to step up and take responsibility for their actions that cause men to beat them. “Not that there’s real provocation, but the elements of provocation, you got to make sure that you address them, because we’ve got to do is do what we can to try to prevent the situation from happening in any way. And I don’t think that’s broached enough, is all I’m saying. No point of blame,” he said.
How can this be prevented? Well, Smith tells women, “…let’s make sure we don’t do anything to provoke wrong actions, because if I come, or somebody else come, whether it’s law enforcement officials, your brother or the fellas that you know, if we come after somebody has put their hands on you, it doesn’t negate the fact that they already put their hands on you. So let’s try to make sure that we can do our part in making sure that that doesn’t happen.

ReplyDelete"But we won't announce til we have to, later, bc of stinker lawmakers not liking any of my ideas lately..."
Who knew and when did they know it? Did Joe Schmidt decide he wanted out of the line of succession? Did someone else decide to remove him? If that happened then when did he know?
What did the AG know and when did he know it?
When did Parnell know?
Did Campbell and Palin travel together on the June 2009 Kosovo trip? Because the only thing worse would be having 1, 2 and 3 on the same flight. I think that might have happened at least once, there is an email where Parnell declines an invitation to fly together with Sarah.
This is the 2008 Republican Vice Presidential nominee showing her real governing style.

ReplyDeleteRevealed: The Real Reasons Sarah Palin Quit Being Governor Of Alaska
If you are a regular reader of this site, or a fan of Palin, most of it is stuff you already know. However it includes a rather interesting and detailed play-by-play of why Palin decided to quit being governor of Alaskalast July. As many suspected it was, generally speaking, mostly about money, though, the part about the Alaska attorney general’s office “lengthy list of conditions” regarding her book tour was news to me. From NYMag:
For Palin, the months since Election Day had been a letdown even bigger than the loss to Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Being governor was drudgery. “Her life was terrible,” one adviser says. “She was never home, her [Juneau] office was four hours from her house. You gotta drive an hour from Wasilla to Anchorage. And she was going broke.” Her sky-high approval ratings in Alaska—which had topped 80 percent before John McCain picked her—had withered to the low fifties. She faced a hostile legislature, a barrage of ethics complaints, and frothing local bloggers who reveled in her misfortune. All this for a salary of only $125,000? The worst was that she had racked up $500,000 in legal bills to fend off the trooper scandal and other investigations. She needed money and worried about it constantly. “You have to keep in mind,” Bill McAllister, her then–press secretary, told me, “she and Todd were middle class. They’re rich now, but not then.”
And, whatever one thinks of her intelligence, she was more than shrewd enough to see that there was money to be made on her newfound national profile, and she hadn’t been the one making it—this was her particular American resentment. The tabloid-media culture began cashing in on the Palin-family drama ever since her pregnant 17-year-old daughter, Bristol, and boyfriend Levi Johnston stepped on the Xcel Energy Center stage at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul. On multiple occasions, Palin complained to campaign aides about Kaylene Johnson, an Alaska journalist, who had just published a book about her. “I can’t believe that woman is making so much money off my name,” Palin said.
From the time of her infamous wardrobe selection, money had been an issue in Palin’s politics. Her relationship with the McCain campaign had been plagued by financial misunderstanding. In her book Going Rogue, she claimed that the McCain campaign had left her on the hook for her Troopergate bills. Palin was furious. “Deep down, she wanted to make money,” a McCain adviser says. “There was always financial stress. They’re not wealthy people.”
Palin knew there were ways to solve her money problems, and then some. Planning quickly got under way for a book. And just weeks after the campaign ended, reality-show producer Mark Burnett called Palin personally and pitched her on starring in her own show. Then, in May 2009, she signed a $7 million book deal with HarperCollins. Two former Palin-campaign aides—Jason Recher and Doug McMarlin—were hired to plan a book tour with all the trappings of a national political campaign. But there was a hitch: With Alaska’s strict ethics rules, Palin worried that her day job would get in the way. In March, she petitioned the Alaska attorney general’s office, which responded with a lengthy list of conditions. “There was no way she could go on a book tour while being governor” is how one member of her Alaska staff put it.

Oh, we always knew she'd sold us out for money. Money is her real god.
DeleteShe wouldn't have had all those legal fees if she'd acted like a responsible adult in the first place.
And look where quitting got her after all this time. Everyone else beat her to the punch, she's spent her money foolishly and burned every bridge she's crossed.
DeleteNone of the above explains why she apparently resigned so suddenly. Yeah she wanted the money, and was too lazy to do the job but there must have been something else going on.
DeletePoor Sarah looks like Fu*k in what I'm sure was the best picture of the day. And Toad looks like a lazy-ass moron. According to my leadership class, you should never put your hands in your pocket since it makes you look lazy, but he can't help himself.

ReplyDeleteDidn't Sarah say this about President Obama?
Karma is a bitch huh Sarah?
......It's almost as if he really has no choice and is told who to support, what to say, and when to get his damn picture taken.....
ReplyDeleteWasn't this the man that ran the state of Alaska when his wife was voted in as Governor? It must be very sad to be so useless. I think his head is empty and he is just spacing out, trying to look cool and hang in until the nightmare ends.
Caption: "Here, someone hold my baby- I have to pose for some stupid sign that my ex-wife made."
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of the comments yet, but what caught my eyes is the baby slide in the background.
ReplyDeleteDon't they claim that their youngest is anywhere from 6-8 years old? If so, that slide is totally out of place... UNLESS they were careless and with this picture admitted that Bar$tool has had several other spawns, the latest being a Junkie...
So many questions and obvious flubs. She's tripping up a lot lately.
DeleteThere are younger relatives
DeleteYounger relatives who what? Love to slide into jagged rocks? Yeah, sounds like Palin Logic. How many younger relatives? and what's their lineage on the Palin Family tree of antlers?
DeleteAnita - if you enlarge the photo, those are glass panels set between posts, which pass for a railing. They were no doubt looted from the Menard Sports Complex, proudly installed by Toad and the "buddies"! However, what really chaps my ass, is who the fuck uses glass railings, knowing there is a special needs child who is both hearing and visually impaired?? Fuckin' morons!!
DeleteOops, I forgot. It appears the "Buddies" Inc. built the scaled-down version of the Menard Sports Center on the dead lake in '07. This was before March '08, when she knew of the spot on the McCain ticket, and of the "Immaculate Conception".
DeleteThe demise of Sarah and Todd Palin cannot come soon enough! They are so damned boring and have nothing to offer anyone...liars and frauds....proven time and time again throughout these last ten years!
ReplyDeleteThen stop stalking and spreading lies about them. Go on with your oh so exciting life.
DeleteIt's not even like they live publicly. 99% of what they do is like you and me, typical family things.
DeleteAren't you the stalker who had the police turn up at her parent's house a short while back?
DeleteYup. Those metal strings they use as railings - they are just perfect for a kid to climb up and over. I don't see any deep matresses on the floor for when the first one tumbles over. But, I guess, that's where building codes would come in, and guess WHO got rid of building codes when $he was pretend-Mayor of Wasilly?
ReplyDeleteThose are very popular here.
DeleteAre the electrified ones very popular "here", too, also? Guess when there's no good wood around, wire will do, but it looks unsafe for the younger relatives. On second thought, no building codes, who cares??
DeleteOmg! Now she's quoting Howard Stern of all people!
ReplyDeleteTodd's probably reminiscing the good ole days , before he had to, uh, shall we say, "Tuck" 24/7. Getting a little grey, grandpa. Time for some hair dye or a matching wig.
ReplyDeleteGood for Goofy! She's found something to keep herself "occupied", flashing a hashtag shout out to the ducks that seem thrilled they weren't born pigs.
?
DeleteI think it is like the good ol days again. Theres no political office to add stress, which happens in all relationships.
Should have stopped at "?" Google is your friend, tuckers and fluffers work behind the scenes, no political office required.
DeleteIs that a sticking plaster under the nosepiece of her sunglasses?
ReplyDeleteWTF is wrong with her nose in the above picture???
ReplyDeleteTrig slapped the shit out of her and broke the nose pads off her glasses
DeleteTrig slapped the shit out of her and broke the nose pads off her glasses
DeleteHolla if it looks like Walmart through up 360 ° from here to eternity in your yard!
ReplyDeleteClearance items only, after all we are Palin's.
Todd: "Sarah, on the lawn again? Why can't you get used to going in the bathroom?"
ReplyDeleteWhat a retard. Why would she even bother posting Toad's picture? He is obviously just not in to this at all lol!!
ReplyDeleteJuicy? Did I leave my balls in your purse again?
