Stupidhead #10 – Sarah Palin

In tribute to the great opus of comedy that will surely be tonights Vice Presidential Debate, I’ve decided to add Sarah Palin to the moxie list of Stupidheads.

There are so many reasons for this – if you’ve been at all paying attention to the news you know what I mean. I’m sure she’s a nice enough woman, but seriously – she’s in over her head, prone to gaffes, can’t answer a direct question, throws around the word “Maverick” to a gross degree, plays up her “down-home-ness” by eliminating the “g” at the end of every word she says (“I’m just thinkin’…runnin’….workin’….) as if it’s going to make “real” Americans think she’s the second coming.

I’m also annoyed that every time she’s asked a question and flubs it, the media points it out, and then the Republicans say she’s being picked on and that the media is sexist. Isn’t it more sexist to not let her fight her own battles? To keep her hidden away? She’s a dumbass. Let her exercise her god given right to make a dumbass of herself.. by herself.

There’s a good reason the media’s access to her has been limited. I can’t wait to see what happens tonight when she’s on her own.

Oh, and Joe Biden is my homeboy.

If you haven’t tuned in lately, these two fine gentlemen have NEVER been so on top of their game before.

Letterman & Ferguson v The Republican Presidental Campaign

Last night, I stayed in my apartment and escaped from the world.
However, I also watched some television that I think folks’ll be talking about for a while.

John McCain was scheduled to appear on the Late Show with David Letterman last night, but due to the economic crisis, he had to cancel and head back to Washington to “save the country.” (Like he’s on Heroes or something) Well, Letterman was not cool with the situation. Especially when the in-house CBS cameras were turned on and McCain was revealed to be getting prepped for an interview with Katie Couric.

 
“You don’t suspend your campaign. This doesn’t smell right. This isn’t the way a tested hero behaves…I think someone’s putting something in his metamucil…He can’t run the campaign because the economy is cratering? Fine, put in your second string quarterback, Sarah Palin. Where is she? What are you going to do if you’re elected and things get tough? Suspend being president? We’ve got a guy like that now!” – David Letterman

 

For more highlights –

Also not cool with the situation was Craig Ferguson, who immediately follows him on CBS. Craig, my favorite late-night monologist, used the opportunity to get a little angry. Which I love.

 

 

On the brighter side of things..

I’m afraid of Sarah Palin.

I don’t think the idea of anyone in public office has ever scared me more.

A farewell to Mitt….

Farewell, Mitt.

Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

Cheers,
America

P.S. Now the fun REALLY begins…

Election Results – part 1

Okay, so the D-crats are still in a tight race.

Whatever

…Can I just go on the record as saying that McCain’s triumph makes me feel a little better about this whole entire race? Of all the Republican candidates, he makes me by FAR the least nervous about the future, should he get elected.

Frankly, I don’t want to be a Mormon.

Or ruled by someone backed by the Evangelicals…

Meanwhile, McCain vs. Clinton — I like the sound of that.

Seriously.

It would be a riot.

Go, Go, Go, Gore!

Dude. An Emmy, An Oscar, and now a Nobel Peace Prize?
Al Gore is the new Helen Hunt… with a Peace Prize, that is.

winners, losers, whiners, schmoozers…

Personally, I’m hoping the Democratic candidate is settled by a Celebrity Deathmatch.
