Donald Trump tells his aides to portray him as a "crazy guy" in negotiations with South Korea. Well there's a stretch.

Courtesy of Axios:  

In an Oval Office meeting earlier this month, President Trump gave his top trade negotiator, Robert Lighthizer, an Art of the Deal-style coaching session on how to negotiate with the South Koreans.

A number of senior officials and cabinet secretaries were present for the conversation, including Defense Secretary Mattis, Agriculture Secretary Perdue, and Secretary of State Tillerson. At issue was whether the U.S. would withdraw from the Korean trade deal — an action Trump threatened but still hasn't done. 

"You've got 30 days, and if you don't get concessions then I'm pulling out," Trump told Lighthizer. 

"Ok, well I'll tell the Koreans they've got 30 days," Lighthizer replied. 

"No, no, no," Trump interjected. 

"That's not how you negotiate. You don't tell them they've got 30 days. You tell them, 'This guy's so crazy he could pull out any minute.'" "That's what you tell them: Any minute," Trump continued. "And by the way, I might. You guys all need to know I might. You don't tell them 30 days. If they take 30 days they'll stretch this out."

Trump does not have to bother to pretend to be crazy, because few of the things he does demonstrate sanity.

As if the South Koreans do not already have enough dealings with crazy megalomaniacs. 

New conspiracy theory suggests that Russia is planning to invade Alaska, by way of Wasilla. Wait, what?

Courtesy of the Inquisitr: 

At least one harbinger of doom is now saying that when the Russians invade the United States, they will start World War 3 by breaching American sovereignty via Alaska, according to a former military official. In what reads like a World War 3 conspiracy theory, this scenario suggests that President Barack Obama has left the United States’ northernmost state militarily defenseless against an imminent Russian exploitative attack. 

The Daily Star reported this week that a high-ranking former U.S. Navy official has claimed to have evidence that a Russian invasion of the United States is imminent and will begin in, of all places, the small village of Wasilla, Alaska. (For those who may have forgotten, Wasilla is the home of former Alaska governor, former Republican vice presidential nominee, and former Fox News contributor Sarah Palin.) Russian submarines will apparently secure the Alaskan coastline, exploiting the fact, according to the former Navy officer, that the area is virtually unprotected from hostile and aggressive invaders. 

According to the official, who offered the information on condition of anonymity, Wasilla will become the jump-off for a more protracted invasion of North America. “Our feeling in the Navy was that Obama had turned Alaska into a defenseless area that will serve as a forward base of operations when World War III begins,” he said. 

“We are the verge of being invaded from Alaska all the way down into Canada and eventually the Northwest.” 

The same unnamed source told the Daily Star that there were Russians disguised as “highway road crews” working in Alaska already, preparing the way for a full-scale invasion force. The crews were in place to “disrupt communications and seize vital bridges” when war eventually arrives. 

Okay that whole "disguised as highway road crews" is a dead giveaway that this whole thing is BS.

I mean do you have any idea how hard it is to get a job on a road crew here in Alaska?

As for coming through Wasilla, that "small village" as they call it is in the MIDDLE of the fucking state, so I am not at all sure how that would help them to "secure the Alaskan coastline."

Besides that invading Alaska is probably the LAST place the Russians would want to establish a beachhead for an invasion of the rest of America.

Trust me I have lived here my entire life, we are not exactly known for being easily subjugated.

And if they were actually going to start in Wasilla they might like to know that Alaska is not only bulging with weapons but that it a safe bet that about 75% of them are in the Mat-Su Valley where Wasilla is located, and that Wasilla is where we keep all of the anti-social nutjobs.

Personally, since I live in Anchorage, I think it is a GREAT idea for Russia to invade Wasilla,

I look forward to the next Fur Rendezvous where I imagine the Russian scalps and skins will be displayed alongside the traditional wolverine and fox pelts.

Besides if Russians were actually working on some long range plan to invade Alaska via Wasilla they would have to have a highly placed operative within the government helping them.

You know perhaps a former local politician who had connections to fringe political groups that were working to undermine one or both political parties.

Someone who constantly suggests that the country was on the wrong path and supports a candidate for national office who was causing incredible friction and angry clashes between its citizens, and who themselves had ties to Russian government officials.

Someone who might even have a child with a close friend of Russian descent.

Yeah but I can't think of anyone like that.

It almost looks as if he is considering it.

I swear this is the strangest, most entertaining, most exhausting, most terrifying election cycle I have ever experienced.

You think you get to a point where you are calloused to the lunacy of the political season, and then somebody adds a Donald Trump to the mix.

According to End Times talk radio host Justice Antonin Scalia was ritually murdered by President Obama to mark a pagan festival. Say what?

Courtesy of Right Wing Watch:  

Yesterday on “Trunews,” End Times radio host Rick Wiles discussed “the possible occult connections” to the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, whom he concluded was murdered by President Obama and was a human sacrifice to mark the pagan festival of Lupercalia. 

Wiles explained that the “Luciferian” “devil-worshipers” who control the government are out for blood, noting that Lupercalia is observed between February 13 and 15. Scalia’s body was discovered on the 13th. “There’s always human sacrifice involved,” he said, claiming that Scalia was “killed” to mark the beginning of pagan fascism ruling over the U.S. 

“The 13th was the 44th day of 2016, Obama is the 44th president of the United States,” Wiles said, “so you have this numerology thing taking place.” 

Wiles said that the assassins who killed the conservative justice “deliberately left the pillow on his face as a message to everybody else: ‘Don’t mess with us, we can murder a justice and get away with it.’ And I assure you, there’s a lot of frightened officials in Washington today, deep down they know, the regime murdered a justice…. This is the way a dictatorial, fascist, police state regime takes control of a nation.” 

Okay usually I would mock this as batshit crazy talk, but I seriously do not think that a bat could shit this much crazy.

I would like to seriously ask how somebody like this is not only NOT in a rubber room someplace, but is allowed on the radio to spread this kind of lunacy?

I have a new hero and his name is Florida Rep. Alcee Hastings.

Rep. Hastings referring to Texas.: "Now I don't know about your state, which I think is a crazy state to begin with, and I mean that just as I said it."

When asked to apologize: "You will wait until hell freezes over for me to say anything in an apology."

Damn that is just good stuff!

In fact it was so good that Jon Stewart could not resist using it for one of his bits on Wednesday night.

And don't think Hastings is about to filter his feelings concerning Texas in the future either, because he ain't: 

A Florida congressman is not backing off his assertion that Texas is a "crazy state," and he's now citing an old law restricting dildos to make his case. 

"One of their cities has a law that says that women can only have six dildos, and the certain size of things," Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-Fla.) told CNN. "And if that ain't crazy I don't know what is."

He has a point.

And don't think that Hastings is any less critical of his own state of Florida either, because that would not be true either: 

And Hastings knows that his home state isn't the sanest in the union either. "Consider the fact I'm a native Floridan and dislike it," he told Bash. "I have cautioned about living in Florida, and when I retire I'm not sure I'm going to stay there, largely because of the policymakers." He added, "I have a lot of other places that I can live."

I have no idea how Hastings has managed to stay in office for over twenty years but that time may soon be coming to an end.

But until then mad props to the man who tells it like it is. 

Is America crazy?

Courtesy of Common Dreams:  

Americans who live abroad -- more than six million of us worldwide (not counting those who work for the U.S. government) -- often face hard questions about our country from people we live among. Europeans, Asians, and Africans ask us to explain everything that baffles them about the increasingly odd and troubling conduct of the United States. Polite people, normally reluctant to risk offending a guest, complain that America’s trigger-happiness, cutthroat free-marketeering, and “exceptionality” have gone on for too long to be considered just an adolescent phase. Which means that we Americans abroad are regularly asked to account for the behavior of our rebranded “homeland,” now conspicuously in decline and increasingly out of step with the rest of the world.

In my long nomadic life, I’ve had the good fortune to live, work, or travel in all but a handful of countries on this planet. I’ve been to both poles and a great many places in between, and nosy as I am, I’ve talked with people all along the way. I still remember a time when to be an American was to be envied. The country where I grew up after World War II seemed to be respected and admired around the world for way too many reasons to go into here. 

That’s changed, of course. Even after the invasion of Iraq in 2003, I still met people -- in the Middle East, no less -- willing to withhold judgment on the U.S. Many thought that the Supreme Court’s installation of George W. Bush as president was a blunder American voters would correct in the election of 2004. His return to office truly spelled the end of America as the world had known it. Bush had started a war, opposed by the entire world, because he wanted to and he could. A majority of Americans supported him. And that was when all the uncomfortable questions really began.

Yeah you know after the election of 2004 I too thought that we must be crazy.

Here are a few of the questions that the author, Ann Jones, has been asked over the years:

• Why can’t you Americans stop interfering with women’s health care? 
• Why can’t you understand science? 
• How can you still be so blind to the reality of climate change? 
• How can you speak of the rule of law when your presidents break international laws to make war whenever they want? 
• How can you hand over the power to blow up the planet to one lone, ordinary man? 
• How can you throw away the Geneva Conventions and your principles to advocate torture? 
• Why do you Americans like guns so much? Why do you kill each other at such a rate? 
• To many, the most baffling and important question of all is: Why do you send your military all over the world to stir up more and more trouble for all of us?

You know in our defense I would like to suggest that America is not so much crazy, as it is schizophrenic. In many ways we are quite a reasonable, intelligent, progressive nation.

However sometimes we hear voices whispering in the dark. And those voices are not quite as reasonable, intelligent, nor progressive.

I call those voices "Republicans," and it seems to be that more and more these days they act like the Joker in "The Dark Knight" movie. And by that I mean, as Alfred Pennyworth explains, some men just want to watch the world burn.

So is America crazy?

Not always. But sometimes, yes most definitely.

For your enjoyment I introduce to you the "Tea Party Insult Generator."

The site advertises itself in this way:  

"From actual insults posted on John Boehner's Facebook page."

Apparently these were left by Teabaggers who were NOT at all happy with the Speaker over his contribution to opening the government back up.

Here are a few examples:

LEFTY BIG GOVERNMENT RINO BASTARD. 

DOUBLE-CROSSING MUSLIM-LOVING LIBTARD. 

LYING FREEDOM-HATING COMMIE. 

FUCKHEADED FASCIST SOCIALIST. (Uh, those two things don't go together.)


FREEDOM-HATING SELL-OUT. 

COWARDLY DICKHEADED RINO TRAITOR. 

And it just keeps getting more inane and nonsensical from there.

I am not positive but I kind of felt that some of these people may have visited THIS blog a time or two. Could be, or could just be that crazy people all sound crazy.

Buzzfeed presents 27 crazy things that can only happen in Alaska.

Buzzfeed found a bunch of things, perfectly ordinary things by Alaskan standards, and exaggerates how bizarre they are.

Here are a few:

Not a big deal, right?

Hey who DIDN'T do things like this in college?

First we are mocked for wearing too little, but when we try to stay warm....

Okay this one hits a little close to home because I actually KNOW this guy.

That is my old science teacher Mr. Vandergaw.  I wrote about him several times in the past.

Never seen Alaska pigeons before?

Ouch! Well you've bot us there. Yes she is indeed a crazy thing.

But at least we know and these days never stop mocking her.

There are of course twenty more examples at the Buzzfeed link, but I really don't think any of them are all THAT crazy. You know with the exception of Snowdrift Snooki of course.

Personally I think people are just jealous.

Coloradans want to secede from, get this, Colorado.

Courtesy of The Inquisitr:  

A few rural communities in North Colorado want to secede and become their own state. 

According to the Coloradan, a group of county commissioners are pursuing a plan to secede from Colorado over concerns that their voices are being ignored by the state. 

Sean Conway, a commissioner in Weld County, said: “I know you think, wow, this is crazy when you first hear about it, but then you realize that five of our states — Vermont, Maine, Tennessee, Wyoming and Kentucky — came about in this fashion, and the circumstances were very similar to what we’re going through now.” 

Conway said that commissioners from other counties have been having informal talks about seceding from the state and added that a measure may be placed on the November ballot in Weld County to find out if voters agree with the plan. 

Conway, a Republican, said that recent legislation passed by Colorado has threatened his communities way of life. According to KDVR, the commissioner is referring to new laws on gun control and the expansion of oil and gas production. The straw that broke the camel’s back, however, came this week when Gov. John Hickenlooper signed S.B. 252, a bill that would increase “renewable energy standard for rural electric co-ops.” 

Conway said: “I have never seen a legislative session like this. They ignore us. They don’t listen to us. It started with the gun control bills and came to a head this week with S.B. 252 being signed … Our voices are being ignored in the legislative process this year and our very way of life is under attack.” 

Conway said that commissioners from rural counties would hold hearings over the next few weeks with the hopes of bringing a vote to the community in November. It’s unclear what counties want to secede from Colorado but Conway said that Logan, Morgan, Phillips, Sedgwick, Washington, and Yuma counties have all been involved in the first round of talks. 

Okay well I think we have ALL heard of  states threatening to secede from the United States, but this is the firs time I have heard about part of a state wanting to secede from the rest of the state.

If people are frustrated by the direction that their state is going don't they just usually move?

Boy this gun control thing is making people act like they are out of their damned minds. And in my opinion anybody who loves their guns so much they are willing to tear their state apart is probably too crazy to have a gun anyhow.

Birthers are now threatening to impeach Justice Roberts if he dares to swear President Obama in for a second term. Good luck with that.

Courtesy of HuffPo:  

The birther movement is now targeting Chief Justice John Roberts for impeachment if he swears in President Barack Obama for a second term later this month. 

Craige McMillan, a columnist for the conservative publication WND.com, wrote a piece last week asking Roberts to not swear Obama in, because, according to McMillan, Obama does not meet the Constitution's definition of a natural born citizen. In the piece, McMillan claims that Obama is not a citizen because his father was a citizen of Kenya and the United Kingdom, and that Obama cannot be "a natural born citizen" because his father was not an American citizen. Obama's mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, was born and raised in Kansas by parents who were born in Kansas. 

McMillan wrote: 

Your failure to investigate these citizenship issues surrounding Mr. Obama at the time questions were raised during his first term places you in a terrible position. You are now confronted with a most difficult choice. 

Your own oath of office, sworn before God and the American people, requires you to uphold the Constitution. (If not you, then who?) If you now administer the oath of office for the presidency to a man who by his own admission fails to meet the natural born citizen requirement imposed by that Constitution, you have violated your own oath of office and are rightly subject to impeachment by any House of Representatives, at any time, now or in the future. 

McMillan then suggested that the outcome for the country would be "Illegal wars. Illegal debts. Illegal laws." The New Civil Rights Movement reported that the National Memo responded to McMillan's piece by noting that Obama has met all the qualifications for being a natural born citizen, including being born in Hawaii and his mother being born in Kansas.

You know I have heard of beating a dead horse, but damn these people take it to a whole new level!

Here is what the National Memo wrote in response to this lunacy:

It’s been proven over and over over again that the president was born in Hawaii. But let’s say for the sake of argument that he wasn’t… here are the requirements for American citizenship with one American parent and one foreign parent, if you’re born on foreign soil: 

If you are born abroad to one United States citizen and one foreign citizen, you may be considered a U.S. citizen if you meet the following requirements: 

• One of your parents was a U.S. citizen when you were born. CHECK 
• The parent who is a U.S. citizen has lived at least five years in the U.S. before you were born. CHECK 
• The parent who is a U.S. citizen must have lived in the U.S. for at least two years of these five years after his/her fourteenth birthday. CHECK 

Our laws are quite clear: If you spring from an American womb, you’re an American. Whether you’re born in Kenya, Panama or on Mars, if your mom was a born-and-bred, Kansas-cornfed American — like Stanley Ann Dunham Obama — you’re an American and thus eligible for the presidency. PERIOD. 

Now for the love of all that’s holy and lucid, stop it. 

By the way, the process for impeaching a Supreme Court Justice is not exactly a simple task, and there is actually NO chance this would ever make it pass the initial phase where the "articles of impeachment" were presented to the House of Representatives. After that, once the laughing had stopped, it would end up being filed away under "lost causes."

Ann Romney claims that her "biggest concern" if Mitt the Twit gets elected is with his "mental well-being." I am actually more worried about OUR mental well-being.

Courtesy of CBS News:  

Ann Romney's biggest concern if her husband becomes president would be his ability to maintain his "mental well-being," she said in an interview Thursday with KTVN in Reno, Nev. 

Asked what her primary worry would be should her husband succeed in defeating President Obama on Nov. 6, Mrs. Romney replied, "You know, I think my biggest concern, obviously, would just be for his mental well-being."

I think that THIS might have been the most honest thing that Queen Antoinette Romney has EVER said about her husband. If she thinks Mitt might crack doing this job, I think WE should all listen to her.

Have you ever closely watched Romney's face after he has just answered a question or is waiting for the applause to die down? He always looks like he is just this side of a nervous breakdown.

He holds his mouth funny, and often appears disoriented, as if he is fighting to differentiate what around him is real, and what is not real.

For instance take a look at his response to a reporter asking him whether he would start campaigning harder to try and bring up his lower poll numbers:

“Ha ha. We’re in the stretch aren’t we? Look at those clouds. It’s beautiful,” he said, pointing to the sky. “Look at those things.”

See? He noticed the clouds are real right there. Okay that is not somebody whose mental health we need to worry about IF he gets this job, this is somebody whose mental health should be in question NOW!

And don't even get me started on the whole Mormon belief thing!

No we need somebody who can handle the job, and President Obama is clearly that man.

Not only that, but when you ask him a question he doesn't suddenly start talking about how tall the trees are, or the beauty of the clouds in the sky. Which should inspire a huge sigh of relief in all of us.

If anybody in the family is getting any attention you know Sarah Palin will be there to bask in the reflected "glory."

Last night we saw that Sarah had dragged her purse carrier Todd, and Levi's son with her to sit in the audience and smile at every cameraman until finally SOMEBODY filmed them.

"Smile like we're a happy family dammit!"

After the show "Extra's" Maria Menounos apparently drew the short straw and had to try and interview the vacuous one, during which Palin threw in just about EVERY SINGLE ONE of her predictable talking points.

Bristol is "so grounded" with "so much energy" while also "working hard" and being "humble." (Sorry I just threw up in my mouth a little.)

And then of course Palin made the point of talking about her religiosity "I do, I mean I pray that God be glorified, one way or the other, no matter the outcome." It was truly a hyperactive and bizarre interview.

By the way the manufactured drama between Pamela Anderson and Bristol, saying that Anderson made "she's crazy" motions with her finger, is complete BS. I saw the video piece and she really was simply playing with her hair.

However I have no problem stating for the record that the whole damn family is a bunch of nutjobs. And my finger is nowhere NEAR my hair!

Is this the typical Fox News viewer?

Courtesy of Business Insider:  

After allegedly driving recklessly with his girlfriend in the car and laughing about killing her, a Florida man told sheriff's deputies his political beliefs made him do it. 

David Kappheim, 60, told Palm Beach County Sheriff's deputies “he was very conservative and (his girlfriend) was a liberal" so he "felt that he was going to have to kill her,” The Palm Beach Post reported Thursday. 

Kappheim's arrest came after his girlfriend told police he had threatened or harmed her on a number of occasions. 

Kappheim admitted to trying to kill the woman three times, police said.

Deputies said they found documents inside the woman's apartment indicating Kappheim is "obsessed with Fox News and the Republican Party, and that he may be a danger to others," the Post reported.

To answer my own headline I would say that NO this is certainly not the  typical Fox News viewer But that is most likely due to the fact that the TYPICAL Fox News viewer is too damn old to pull off something like this without the help of their nurse.

However let me also add that on the few occasions I have watched Fox News, mostly to cover a Sarah Palin interview, I have certainly felt the urge to kill somebody. Fortunately I am too intelligent, and allergic to prison, to ever act upon those urges.

I will also add that if you think the Fox News viewers are crazy and murderous NOW, just wait until President Obama wins his second term. THAT will drive these lunatics right over the edge!

P.S. Can I just ask WHY an intelligent liberal woman would waste her time dating somebody ignorant enough to watch Fox News and BELIEVE what they were hearing? I find that baffling.

Sarah Palin has an "Armor Bearer." Well alrighty then!

The other day a reader sent me an e-mail telling me that Palin has something called an "Armor Bearer" on Twitter.

I took a look, and yep she sure does.

It looks like this person has been on the job since 2009, though admittedly I had never heard of them.

And come to think of it I had never heard of an "Armor Bearer" before.  So I did a little research.

Armor bearers are selected by church pastors or ministry leaders to support them, especially with prayer. They are so called because in Biblical times, an officer was selected by kings or military personnel due to bravery, to assist them in dangerous times and to bear their armour. Judges 9:54; and I Samuel 14:7, 16:21 and 31:6 all refer to the role of armor bearers. The job description for the armor bearer is as varied as the leader the armor bearer serves. In most cases, men should be armor bearers for men and women should be armor bearers for women because addressing personal needs is often part of the job description of an armor bearer.

Yeah, okay.

Now how RAM, or Nancy French, or crazy ass Kristy didn't get this job I will never understand.  Though I guess to be honest there is a possibility that there are numerous individuals who have taken on this "responsibility."

However I am not sure ANY of them took it as seriously as this particular person did, At least judging from the background on their Twitter account.

You know Mitt Romney might have magic underwear to protect him, but this person has magic..uh..everything!

Wow is there NO Sarah Palin supporter who is NOT mentally unhinged?

By the way, and not to be critical, but if this person's main job has been to "avert many physical, mental and spiritual problems for both the armor bearer and the leader," I am not sure they can take much pride in their success.

After all back in 2009 Palin had a fairly prominent voice in conservative circles and was in constant demand for her opinion, not to mention that she was considered a viable contender for the GOP nomination for President. Today she's, you know, a joke.

It looks like SOMEBODY didn't do their job very effectively.

I'm just saying.

P.S. But don't feel bad, neither did Palin's family, her paid advisers, her speech writers, Fox News, or the little voices in her head that told her that God had chosen her for something special.

Glenn Beck recreates the Oval Office so he can play at being President, because apparently not enough people realized that he was insane yet.

Don't you love it when crazy people play dress up?

I understand that next week he will dress up as Captain Jack Sparrow and build a life size replica of the Black Pearl, or perhaps Dorothy and build a replica of the Emerald City.  Either one of those would be far more believable than this at least.

In case you need another reason to take your children to see the movie "Happy Feet," apparently it has a "liberal agenda." In other words, its factual.

Courtesy of TPM:

On its surface, Happy Feet Two is a cutesy sequel about a young penguin who is reluctant to dance. But could there be a radical left-wing agenda lurking below the arctic ice? 

Some conservatives think so, The Hollywood Reporter reports, suggesting that the movie’s politics might be a reason why the film has been off to a sluggish start at the box office. 

The New York Post’s Kyle Smith called the movie, in a review, “Kiddie Karl Marx.” He writes: 

“Happy Feet Two” has a broad, lefty political agenda. It briefly brings up global warming (though, tellingly, only for a minute—Hollywood’s interest in stoking global warming fears seems to have peaked, which is convenient because the public has, after some frightened moments, decisively rejected the alarmist viewpoint) in a scene in which polar bears are shown clinging to shrinking icebergs. It also makes the case, somewhat half-heartedly, for vegetarianism (the penguins see humans roasting chickens, and get spooked). This doesn’t go very far, though, because penguins aren’t vegetarians though I suppose they’re pescetarians. And I’m sure I won’t be the only viewer who thinks that two male krill in the movie (played by Brad Pitt and Matt Damon) have now joined Oscar and Felix and Bert and Ernie as pairs of unusually close confirmed bachelors. 

That’s a lot of rhetoric for one movie. While not overtly political,a Christian Movie Review at Movieguide.com writes that the movie promotes “radical environmentalism,” “global warming hysteria” and pro-homosexual and pagan messages.

Oh my God! Environmentalist, potentially gay penguins, in a children's movie? I am pretty sure that is a sign of the apocalypse!

Morons!

You know what they say right?  That truth has a liberal agenda.

This is just ANOTHER example of the conservative war against educating the children of this country.

Halloween comes early to Fox News as Greta Van Susteren interviews the "Creature From the Dead Lagoon."

Click link to play video.

At first I was a little confused as to WHY Greta was talking to this really bad female impersonator, with the hoarse voice, dressed up like Sarah Palin?  But then it slowly dawned on me, "Oooh!"

Palin is again at her frenetic worst, essentially presenting herself as knowledgeable on political issues, such as the Republican debate, but still having to compare them to her bickering kids in order to make sense out of what she is seeing.

Palin at one point declares frustration that the GOP candidates did not offer "detailed plans about how jobs can be created" as well as "details" and "specifics," you know like she....oh...wait that's right. I guess Wasilla really IS an irony free zone!

Greta picks up on that however and asks Palin if she thinks the contest has now become a kind of "beauty contest." Demonstrating the lack of self awareness that would prove debilitating in a lesser Grizzly, Palin then begins to chastise the candidates for "pivoting" when asked a question and for never providing anything substantive. Yeah that made me choke on my coffee too!

And just when I was able to get control over my coughing fit, Palin then decides to attack journalists for not asking the candidates tougher questions. Seriously at this point I got up to see if there were any hidden cameras in my office, or if perhaps I had fallen down some Bizarro world rabbit hole in my sleep.

However then Palin went for the President's jugular and everything in my world made sense again.

But  I swear just when I got my legs under me again, Palin starts talking about how Newt Gingrich would "clobber" Barack Obama in the general election, and my eyes glazed over yet again. Thankfully Palin's contractually designated time ran out and Greta wrapped up the word salad buffet just as Palin was bitching about the debates being all about ratings.

I know right?

At this point I am not sure WHY Van Susteren is still interviewing this glossy lipped tranny from Alaska, but it certainly can no longer be for the ratings, and it certainly CANNOT be for anything resembling an informative analysis. My guess is that Palin's contract still has a few months left on it, and that Roger Ailes simply has no choice but to allow the once minimally relevant pseudo politician to demonstrate the intellectual superiority of everybody around her until he is no longer legally obligated to do so.

I wonder who is counting down the days more, Greta Van "Sucks to be stuck interviewing Palin" or Roger Ailes?

Jon Stewart on Sarah Palin: "You are either running for President of the United States or you are a crazy person."

Geez HOW long have I have been telling people that she's certifiable? Three years now?

Palin is making the Teabaggers jump through hoops with the promise she MIGHT show up on Saturday.

Courtesy of the Des Moines Register:

Christine O’Donnell is off the guest list – again – and Sarah Palin is a “maybe.” 

In the latest episode in the drama over the speaking lineup for Saturday’s Tea Party of America rally in Iowa, organizer Ken Crow said Palin’s staff called this morning to say Palin’s appearance at the rally was “on hold” until three changes were made. 

“They said, ‘Ken, can you take care of bing, bing, bing’ and I said, ‘Yessir, I will’ and I did,” Crow, an Indianola Republican told The Des Moines Register. 

“Now I’m waiting to hear back.” Crow said two of the requests were logistical details: Email a copy of the program today, and address concerns about back-stage security and who will be allowed in that area. 

Asked about the third request, Crow said: “Can I let that remain private for now?” 

Meanwhile, Crow telephoned staff for O’Donnell, a Delaware Republican who ran for the U.S. Senate, to say she can’t speak at Saturday’s event. 

“We’re all friends and she’s not coming,” he said, referring to O’Donnell.

Five points to the person who correctly guesses which THIRD change had to be made. And the first two don't count.

Oh yeah Christine, that was ALL about you baby.
