Sarah Palin once again leaves lipstick marks all over Rush Limbaugh's porcine hindquarters. Eeeww!

Courtesy of the lard ass kisser's Facebook page: 

Rush Limbaugh’s always on top of the pile. He’s ahead of issues, including this one where he gives a heads up that Coach Ditka may actually get fired for exercising America’s First Amendment.

Palin then links to a Newsmax article covering remarks by Limbaugh suggesting that Mike Dtika might lose his job at ESPN for comment he made about the liberal media being behind the call for the Washington Redskins to change their name.

Apparently this enraged Limbaugh, who then went on his own rant about the politically correct liberals attacking the Redskins over their name, and suggesting that the majority of people want the name to remain the same.

Here is more of what Palin had to say about that: 

Nothing should surprise us lately; but when the Politically Correct Police bust Ditka, they hope the silent majority will cower under leftist control. My goodness, Ditka merely spoke his mind. This accomplished and esteemed coach knows there are big issues to be addressed in America today; there’s no intent to offend by referring to a team by the name they’ve proudly worn since day one and chose with pride in our native ancestry and obviously had absolutely no intent to insult; and the liberal media’s made-up controversies divide our country. The government’s intent to force any owner of anything, in this case an NFL entity, to change a name is the antithesis of the American way of working through differences. Ditka said he actually likes the Washington Redskins, and he’s a man full of commonsense and admired patriotism. Still, I must disagree with Coach Ditka after reading his full statement: 

“What’s all the stink over the Redskin name?” Ditka said. “It’s so much [expletive], it’s incredible. We’re going to let the liberals of the world run this world. It was said out of reverence, out of pride to the American Indian. Even though it was called a Redskin, what are you going to call them, a Proudskin? This is so stupid it’s appalling, and I hope that owner keeps fighting for it and never changes it, because the Redskins are part of an American football history, and it should never be anything but the Washington Redskins. That’s the way it is. It’s been the name of the team since the beginning of football. It has nothing to do with something that happened lately, or something that somebody dreamed up. This was the name, period. Leave it alone. These people are silly — asinine, actually, in my opinion.” 

He thinks the name should always be Washington Redskins, as a source of pride? Take the word “Washington” out and I’ll agree the team name is a great source of pride. 

- Sarah Palin

It should be noted that as of right now there is no public cry for Ditka to lose his job. 

It should also be noted that those calling for a name change are not simply a liberal minority, but the Native American community themselves.

Now I can understand that Rush Limbaugh, an unhealthily overweight, cigar smoking white guy, might demonstrate insensitivity to the native American community. After all the only reason he is not in the KKK is that they cannot find white bed sheets big enough to cover him. 

But Sarah Palin is married to a Native American man, and has Native American children, as well has grandchildren who are part Native American.

Hell Tripp has doctor visits at the Alaskan Native Hospital in Anchorage, and you certainly do not get that opportunity if you are a pure Aryan.

So for Palin to defend Rush Limbaugh, while Limbaugh defends Mike Ditka, is...well it's pretty fucked up is what it is.

I am also part Native American and I can remember my maternal grandmother, who was a quarter Apache, being disgusted by the westerns we would watch on television during the Sunday afternoons we would come to visit her.

At first I thought it was just the violence that bothered her, but later I learned that it was the constant references to "injuns," and "squaws," and "savages" that used to upset her.

She felt she had no choice but to accept the world as it was back then, but today we are making great progress and surely we can all enjoy rooting for sports teams that do not denigrate, or insult, minorities in this country.

I mean after all, is that too much to ask?

Sarah Palin's recent remarks about impeachment are so incredibly embarrassing that even her neighbors in the Mat-Su Valley cannot stay quiet any longer.

There is only one small newspaper that covers the Mat-Su area and that is the Frontiersman.

Traditionally they have sort of avoided talking about Palin for the most part, but the other day freelance political cartoonist and community columnist Chuck Legge reached his breaking point.

First he starts off pointing out just why the idea of impeachment will get no traction and then he simply unloads:  

So, drop out governor, here are the facts. Under this president we have built the Not-So-Great Wall, increased the Border Patrol twofold, pumped more money into border security than any other section of the department of Homeland Security, and deported more people than any other administration ever. In addition the President has repeatedly asked for immigration reform. The Senate did pass a bipartisan bill 68 to 32 but it died in the House. Obama has also asked for an additional $3.7 billion to address the ongoing problem, but Boehner and his gaggle of malcontents have not yet seen fit to help. 

For this and the glaringly unspecific “many impeachable offenses” you think it’s time to impeach the President. Really Governor Palin? Really?! Do you remember when you had “actual responsibilities?” Do you remember a governor who presided over a bipartisan coalition in the Legislature and was able to work with both sides to actually get something done for the state? You know, the person who existed before the 2008 presidential campaign. 

Personally, I think you should sue McCain and his minions for taking a constructive, albeit ultra conservative, politician and turning you into a babbling, incoherent, egomaniacal shill for the dictatorial crazies that have hijacked the GOP. 

My point here is that even though you no longer hold office, you still have responsibilities. Not just to the teatotalers, but to the rest of us in the state and nation. When you say things people listen. For better or worse you still have influence and when you say the President should be impeached for following the law and for resorting to his constitutional prerogative when dealing with the worst Congress in history, some people buy into it. 

Next time get your facts straight before you give voice to whatever comes tumbling out of your brain. If you can’t manage to do this. If you can’t manage to resist throwing red meat to the mob then I along with a majority of Americans and a sizable number of Alaskans say “no mas” Ms. Palin. For the love of God and country, “no mas.

Occasionally we get a troll on here who insists that Palin is still well liked in Alaska, and especially around the area where she grew up despite  evidence to the contrary reported by Geoffrey Dunn, Joe McGinniss, and myself.

Well this is a fellow Alaskan from the are where she grew up and he certainly confirms the fact that they are  done with her and her treasonous talk.

"No mas" indeed.

Koch brother funded ad attacks Senator Mark Begich using fake Alaskan played by Maryland actress. Oh no you didn't!

Courtesy of HuffPo:

Americans for Prosperity, the conservative advocacy group backed by the Koch brothers, released an attack ad on Wednesday criticizing Sen. Mark Begich (D-Alaska) for his support of the Affordable Care Act. 

The commercial features an unidentified Alaskan voter, who is actually an actress living in Maryland, according to The New York Times. In the ad, the actress blames Begich for breaking his promise to Alaskans. 

“I trusted the president and Senator Begich … Now millions are losing their health care … costs are going way up,” the woman says. “Senator Begich didn’t listen. How can I ever trust him again? It just isn’t fair. Alaska deserves better.” 

The actress is a Maryland native named Connie Bowman who does commercials, voice-overs and print ads. 

“I’m just an actress,” she told the Times on Wednesday. 

Political advertisements often use professional actors. But pretending to be an Alaska resident to offer criticism crosses a line, according to Begich’s campaign, which called the commercial an unfounded attack from a non-Alaskan.

Oh you done fucked up now!

Let me assure you that Alaskans HATE people from out of state trying to influence our votes, ESPECIALLY by using this kind of trickery. 

I can guarantee that this does nothing but help Mark in seeking reelection.

The thing is that I am sure that Americans for Prosperity could have found a local Alaskan willing to appear in their ad, there are plenty of stalwart Republicans up here, but they simply outsourced the job to , using a favorite Alaskan epithet, a "fucking out of stater."

Alaskans overwhelmingly do NOT want Palin to run for President. Gee, no kidding!

Courtesy of Politico:  

There would be no home field advantage in Alaska for Sarah Palin if the former governor made a run for the White House in 2016, according to a new poll released Friday. 

Hillary Clinton, the front runner for the Democrats in 2016, would beat Palin 49-40 in a hypothetical match-up, according to a survey from Democratic firm Public Policy Polling. Palin is the only potential GOP candidate Clinton topped in poll. 

Despite it being her home state, only 18 percent of Alaskans think Palin should make a bid for the White House in 2016, with 77 percent— including 72 percent of Republicans — saying she should stay out of the election.

 Isn't THIS is what I've been saying?

Personally I don't even know why PPP would bother including this question in their polling. After all it isn't like there is ANYBODY left in this country who takes this lunatic seriously.

I am also a little puzzled by the 18% of Alaskans who think having her run would be a good idea. I mean we are way ahead of the rest of the nation is recognizing that Palin is unqualified to wipe hr own ass without a manual.

Perhaps these were simply Alaskan giving PPP a good yank.

Those who are expecting Sarah Palin to make a political comeback, don't know Sarah Palin.

Lately there has been an unending stream of people trying to make sense of what happened to Sarah Palin's rising star that forced it to plummet to the ground so dramatically.

Some of the theories are that she was destroyed by a liberal propaganda machine that feared her. Yeah, okay keep telling yourself that.

Others think that she simply chose bad advisers who led her astray, or that she could have been great if she had simply hunkered down and studied, or believe that she got distracted by the chance at easy money, and went the reality show/book selling route instead of following her true destiny that they are convinced was to be the 2012 Republican candidate for President.

No seriously!

Often many of these are Right Wingers who I simply dismiss out of hand, because....you know...dipshits.

But there are a few that you would think might know better that are STILL convinced that Palin really had a shot.  These are mostly people whose first impression of Snowdrift Snooki was on the convention floor of the RNC in September of 2008.

But here's the thing. For those of us who already knew Sarah Palin, had already seen Sarah Palin, and were used to Sarah Palin, we had NO fucking idea who that lady at the RNC even was! But whoever she was, it was NOT Sarah Palin!

And that was the thing. She was playing the part of Sarah Palin as imagined by the John McCain presidential campaign. You can read about that process plain as day in the book Game Change (Or see it in the wonderful HBO movie of the same name.),

The problem of course is that when the campaign could not strictly control how Palin was perceived, as in those Katie Couric interviews, THAT was when people started to see the Sarah Palin that was much more recognizable to Alaskans (Why do you think we tried so hard to educate you people? We knew what was coming.)

To Alaskans it was almost a foregone conclusion that she couldn't keep up that act for long. We were just concerned that she could keep it up long enough to fool the American people into letting her and John McCain into the White House. (I don't think I ever understood just how low functioning many of the American people really were until Sarah Palin burst onto the scene. These people were literally taken in by a short skirt and a wink. THAT should frighten all of us!)

For the purpose of illustration let me use one of my favorite reporters, Chris Cillizza, who I have a great deal of respect for, but who totally makes my point in his Washington Post article from a few days ago.

After much effusive praise and excuse making, this is how he wrapped up the article:

The Palin story is, in the end, one of tremendous talent misused. Like any number of playground greats who never make the NBA or, when they do, wind up disappointing, Palin had as much natural ability as anyone this side of Barack Obama or John Edwards, but was unable to translate that talent into results once the bright lights came on. That she never made good on her remarkable natural talents is a sign of how the political process can chew up and spit out those who aren’t ready for it.

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong! Sarah Palin's natural talent was to bullshit people into thinking that she was something that she was not. To play the con woman in a sting designed to take you for everything you've got. To, like a common street walker, charm you out of your pants, and then run off with your wallet while you were peeing in the bathroom.

She was NEVER going to give you what she promised, she was just going to dance on that pole until you had run out of money before picking up her political g-string and moving onto the next mark.

Which, if these idiots were paying attention, is exactly what she did.

Now in Chris's case he actually seems to be one of the few who was seduced by Palin's "charms" even before she mounted that stage in Minnesota.

Here is an interview he did with her in February of 2008. (BEFORE, by the way, she decided to fake her pregnancy.)


As you can see even then, Palin was talking around in circles, and bullshitting her way through interviews, but you can also see how easily Cillizza is sucked in, to the point of actually helping her with the answers and making sure that the questions were dumbed down enough not to embarrass her.

The one thing I will give her credit for is that at least during THIS interview Palin made no bones about wanting to be John McCain's VP choice. Which as we know from our friend Bill Fulton she was convinced she had in the bag only a month later.

So to sum up, will Palin make some sort of political comeback? No!

Could she have been a real political player if she had just made a few different choices ? Not ultimately, no!

Does this mean we have seen the last of Sarah Palin? Sadly probably not.

Will the press jump up like hype active pekinese if she does something in a few months to get their attention?  Of course they will.

However for all intents and purposes Sarah Palin is no longer any threat except to the pocketbooks of the most ignorant paint chip eaters on the planet. And hey, SOMEBODY has to take advantage of them now don't they?

P.S. For those who were paying close attention, you might have noticed that the iconic facial expression above is obviously from this interview. I always wondered what made her make that face.

Never ones to pass up a free hand out, Todd and Sarah Palin on list of claimants to Exxon Valdex spill fund.

"Look purse carrier, you better come up with some new ways we can get some cash, and I mean right now!"

Courtesy of Alaska Dispatch:  

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and her husband, Todd, are among 947 claimants qualified for a piece of about $1 million in remaining settlement funds from the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill in the waters of Prince William Sound. 

The Palins are claimants No. 655 and 656. How much of a claim they may be due is unknown. 

Their place on that list is colored by the former governor's assertions in the 2009 book "Going Rogue: An American Life" that her administration helped those impacted by one of the country's worst environmental disasters. 

In 2009, a lawyer for the Exxon Valdez plaintiffs told Reuters that the former governor's claims of aid were mostly "cockamamie bullshit." 

That lawyer, Dave Oesting, remains lead attorney for Exxon Valdez plaintiffs, and may soon find Palin among those claimants who come calling to collect.

You know there are people who really suffered, or lost their livelihoods completely, due to that spill. The Palins are not among those people.

The fact that this millionaire couple's name is on this list is indefensible.

It will ultimately not really be that muhc money, and it just reinforces what Alaskans have known about the mall along. They are NOTHING but lowlife grifters.

Todd Palin is confronted by Alaskan in Iowa who reminds the Palins that their BS no longer works up here in the Last Frontier.

Courtesy of SF Gate:

As we told you the other day, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin hasn't decided yet to run for president.

One big question she will have to answer is why she quit after only two years as governor. The question came up as Palin and husband Todd swooped through the Iowa State Fair the other day. 

A woman, who identified herself as an Alaskan, questioned Todd about why his wife quit. 

He told her to watch "The Undefeated" -- the movie about Palin made by a conservative filmmaker. 

They got into it, and the exchange ended with the woman calling Todd a "sellout."

God I LOVED seeing that.

I cannot believe that Sarah Palin's personal purse valet suggested to this lady that she needed to watch "The Undefeated."

Hey asshole, we are Alaskans!  We don't need to see the movie, we fucking LIVED it!

That is how we know it is a poorly constructed piece of propaganda that NOBODY wanted to attend and which nowadays cannot even attract donations of pet foods in exchange for tickets.

Which is something that Spokane politician Mike Noder discovered the hard way:

Sarah Palin may not be much of a draw in Spokane. 

That’s one conclusion – and a charitable one, at that – to draw from an event a little more than a week ago at The Bing Crosby Theater featuring the new biographical movie about Palin. Planned as a chance to raise money for charities, food for Second Harvest Food Bank and pet supplies for Spokanimal, it was a disappointment, said organizer Mike Noder. 

Unsure how much it might bring in, and unwilling to run afoul of the state Public Disclosure Commission, he didn’t want to collect money for his low-cost mayoral campaign. But he offered hold the screening and collect for some local charities. 

Admission was free, with would-be watchers urged to bring food or pet supplies or donate to charity. 

“People responding were kind of vicious,” Noder said. Vanessa Behan Crisis Nursery wanted no part of the gig and the Food Bank wouldn’t bring down donation barrels, he said. 

The movie, which aired on a Thursday night, didn’t draw a big crowd. Noder estimated it at 50, although others thought it might’ve been half that. The Northeast Community Center Youth Group got the door receipts. The Food Bank got some donations and a plastic grocery bag of food. Spokanimal got some donations and a couple cases of cat food. 

Noder actually got less than nothing: “My web traffic dropped. The association was not good for my campaign.” 

Time to face reality "Tawd." Alaskans know you and your wife pathetic quitters, clearly movie audiences know you are pathetic quitters, and the number of American voters who know you are pathetic quitters is growing everyday.

Sarah Palin, the woman who claimed she quit her job as Governor to save the state money, is asking the state to pay for her defense against a lawsuit.

"Help me, help me, Alaska! I am just a defenseless millionaire who once used my job to bully those who dared to question me! Can't you see I'm the victim here?

Courtesy of ADN:

Assistant Attorney General Dale House said Palin asked the state to help defend her against the lawsuit by activist Chip Thoma. 

The claims made against Palin date to when she was governor, and House said Wednesday that it's typical for the state to get involved if the person is being sued largely because of the title they held or because of something they did in the course of their official duties. He said there are exceptions, including for criminal cases. 

House said the state will pay for his participation but not for Palin's personal lawyer, John Tiemessen, who will be co-counsel. 

Thoma is suing Palin for at least $100,000, claiming that she undertook a campaign to "punish, embarrass, discredit and silence" him while governor after he complained about tour bus traffic on the windy, narrow streets around the governor's mansion. 

Fuck this!  I certainly do not want to pay for this quitters legal bills!

Especially since I believe that Thoma has a pretty damn good case against her.


And according to the comments beneath this article at ADN, I am not the only Alaskan that feels this way.

Sounds to me like Palin's very intimidated that this is going to turn out to be something over which she will not be able to wriggle off the hook. Magnificent timing! 

Well, if anyone read Frank Bailey's book they would know $Palin did it on purpose. He has the emails that back it up. I wonder if they will be able to use her own emails against her. 

Why? Why is the state STILL paying this worthless woman? WHY? 

The state should not incur any part of this lawsuit. Wouldn't that also make the state liable in some manner? Palin used her office to embarrass a private citizen and she should not ask for state help to defend herself. 

Everybody up here knows that Palin used her position as Governor to go after her enemies, bully other Alaskans, and give her family and friends state jobs and perks to keep them loyal.

And now that somebody is finally going after her in court for her illegal behaviors she is playing the victim again and asking the state that she abandoned to protect her.

She will NEVER change.

Perhaps this is why the makers of "The Undefeated" will not be showing their Sarah Palin propaganda film in Alaska.

One of the members of our IM community took a recent trip to Alaska.

While visiting Skagway, she happened to see this rather decorative automobile.

You see the Palin-bots can peddle their Sarah Palin revisionist history all they want down in the Lower 48, but Alaskans know EXACTLY who Sarah Palin is.

And we also know that she eats poop.
