A Mountain of Dumb, ctd.

 Wow.  Somehow she managed to raise (lower?) the bar with this one: 

"Gulf disaster needs divine intervention as man's efforts have been futile. Gulf lawmakers designate today Day of Prayer for solution/miracle"

A Mountain of Dumb

Really, is there any other way to describe this fucking bimbo?

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is using the Gulf Coast oil spill to promote the issue of drilling in the Alaskan Wildlife National Refuge – the 20-million protected acres where untapped oil and gas reserves have long served as a lightning rod of controversy.

"Extreme Greenies: see now why we push 'drill,baby,drill' of known reserves & promising finds in safe onshore places like ANWR? Now do you get it?" the former Republican vice presidential nominee wrote Tuesday evening on her Twitter account.

I think I'm gonna be sick

It's been a glorious morning.   70 degrees and sunny.   It's Friday.  I'm looking forward to a cocktail - or four - tonight and a relaxing weekend with no major responsibilities, save for a bit of yard work and visiting the Moms in my life. 

Of course, Bill O'Reilly and Sarah Palin teamed up to ruin all of that for me.    I can't embed the video for some reason - I can only assume for the same reason that press and cameras aren't allowed at her speeches - so you'll have to watch it for yourself.   Just make sure you're not on a full stomach.  Spare yourself the cleanup. 

Seriously, is there anyone on the planet with less brains who is granted the kind of  massive audience of devoted and unquestioning mongoloids that this inbred fool is afforded?   Just look at her dumb face.  Look at it!   This idiot was one busted hip or blood clot to the brain  away from the oval office 18 months ago.   She honestly believes that the this is a "Christian Nation"  and that the founding fathers planned it to be this way.   And O'Reilly goes right along with her!   Why wasn't Hitchens on with these two to spare us from getting dumber just for watching?

This is not a Judeo-Christian nation.  This is a secular nation.   The Founding Fathers were mostly Deists, not Christians - which Bill mentions and Sarah nods in agreement to, curiously.   Deism meant they believed in a creator, but stood fast that said creator did not meddle in the affairs of man - and as such, did not meddle in a budding republic's government either.

The Pilgrims?  They were Christians.  But they were not the Founding Fathers.  They were brave puritans who set out in search of religious freedom, sure.  But the founders of America as we know it, they were not.

In God We Trust was adopted as our national motto during the 1950s.  And the unalienable rights of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness were not granted to us by God but rather by a creator.   There is a difference there and, while subtle, it is completely lost on this shrew. 

She really needs to be stopped.  Every time she's allowed to invade our senses with her vulgar diatribe about religious values and rugged anti-elitism a puppy gets skinned.   That's scientific fact.  Stop killing puppies, people.

Update:  Got video embedded... after the jump.  

Brown > Palin

A lot has been made the last few days over Scott Brown's decision to forgo Sarah Palin's Tea Party rally on Boston Common on Wednesday.  While I try not to read too much into decisions like this - Brown's explanation was that he's busy, you know, doing Senator stuff - you have to admire the guy for leaving the loonies to themselves.  Of course, the Palin Teabag machine had to spin it as if they weren't pissed about it:

“It’s not about paying favors back,” said Mark Williams, chairman of the Tea Party Express, which organized the rally and invited Brown.   “I’d happily forgo (having him) if he’s truly doing the job of the people.  He has half a century of Kennedy damage to compensate for, after all.”

Of course, this isn't the first time Brown pulled the ol' 'I'm going this way; which way are you going?" routine. 

Barbara Klain, head of the Greater Lowell Tea Party, said Brown also turned down an invite to speak at their April 15 rally in downtown Lowell.    “He said he was going to be in Washington,” Klain said. “He needs to be doing his job.”

And of course we know that Brown somehow forgot that Caribou Barbie herself called to congratulate him after his special election win.  Pretty shrewd if you ask me. 

You've gotta commend this guy for keeping a safe distance from the loony brigade.  In a state where there are more liberals and independents than conservatives, palling up with the neo-cons and fringe fuckers would be like doing tequila shots with your alcoholic uncle at thanksgiving dinner.  

Keep up the good work, Scott. 

No, It's really just rhetoric...

Urging your movement to violently mobilize against our elected leaders, that is.   Sarah Palin seems to have no problem doing so.   John McCain seems to have trouble... with condemning such behavior.   Has this whole world gone crazy?!   Yes it has, says Ezra Klein: 

I don't want to exaggerate the importance of the death threats being made against congressmen who voted for health-care reform. Nuts are nuts. But there is a danger to the sort of rhetoric the GOP has used over the past few months. When Rep. Devin Nunes begs his colleagues to say "no to socialism, no to totalitarianism and no to this bill"; when Glenn Beck says the bill "is the end of America as you know it"; when Sarah Palin says the bill has "death panels" -- that stuff matters.

And the stuff on talk radio, of course, was worse. So take the universe of people who really respect right-wing politicians and listen to right-wing media. Most of them will hear this stuff and turn against the bill. Some will hear this stuff and really be afraid of the bill. And then a small group will hear this stuff and believe it and wonder whether they need to do something more significant to stop this bill from becoming law. And then a couple will actually follow through. And one will cut the gas lines leading to house of Rep. Tom Perriello's brother after seeing a tea partyer post the address online.
