Todd Palin Says Joe McGinniss' Book Contains "Disgusting Lies"

Margaret Hartmann — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 23:49:00 EDT

The reports from Joe McGinniss's upcoming book about Sarah Palin have such a ripped-from-the-National Enquirer quality that if she'd made some comment about refusing to dignify the allegations with a response, the news that she hooked up with a black dude and did cocaine would have blown over fairly quickly. However, the Palin's aren't known for their quiet dignity, and today Todd Palin started slinging mud right back at McGinniss. More »

Sarah Palin Is Just Glad We Can't Blame Her For Egypt

Anna North — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 09:36:00 EST

It's no surprise that Sarah Palin is a fan of February's media boycott of her activities (she's never been a fan of the media in the first place). What's surprising is why. More »

Bristol just wasn't enough, apparently: the hooligans behind Dancing With The Stars now have reportedly set their sights on Papa Grizzly Todd. But he's so...quiet. As an alternative, might I propose Track? The kid is totally untapped. More »

Schlafly explains, "Sarah Palin is the total package. She's got a cute husband. She's got a lot of kids." But she doesn't think Palin's ready for the Presidency. You mean Todd's cheekbones aren't a substitute for experience? [Politics Daily] More »

More Obama Cabinetry And Lieberman Speculation

Megan Carpentier — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 19:40:00 EST

Though Barack obama told Americans nothing about forthcoming nominations, that doesn't mean there's nothing to speculate about! John Kerry, Chris Dodd and Bill Richardson are lead speculative Secretary of State candidates, Robert Gates might stay at the Defense Department, Janet Napolitano could be headed to Justice and former eBay executive Steve Westly, the Governator or Kathleen Sebelius could end up at DOE. Discuss at your leisure — Obama certainly is. [CNN, Politico]
The President-Elect has included sexual orientation and gender identity in his non-discrimination pledge on hiring, which is awesome. [ACLU]
Harry Reid is a little pissed about Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman's Obama-bashing during his balls-out support of John McCain this election season — to say nothing of his current flirtation with Mitch McConnell and the GOP caucus. He is thinking of allowing the Democratic caucus to strip Lieberman of his committee chair, which Lieberman calls "unacceptable" and everyone else calls "no less than he deserves." [CNN, Huffington Post]
Unlike the obstreperous Lieberman, Appropriations Committee Chairman Robert Byrd is stepping aside as chairman because he's confident of the new Democratic majority and, likely, because of his continuing ill health. Sadly, this means no more "barbaric" speeches. [The Hill, YouTube]

The Politics Of Style: An Obama-Inspired Shopping Spree At J. Crew

Dodai Stewart — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 13:00:00 EDT

Michelle Obama was on The Tonight Show last night, and Jay Leno teased her about the bright yellow outfit she was wearing. "What is it, about $60-grand? $60, $70,000 that outfit?" Ms. Obama responded: "Actually, this is a J. Crew ensemble. You can get some good stuff online." Michelle Obama: She's just like us! Anyway, this sparked an idea: What if we headed to JCrew.com and picked clothing for Michelle Obama, Cindy McCain, Sarah Palin and the kids? We went on a shopping spree and chose election night outfits and inauguration day ensembles for the ladies, after the jump. More »

There's No Reason To Back Obama Besides His Race (And Other Masturbatory GOP Fantasies)

Megan Carpentier — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 10:00:00 EDT

Yesterday, former Secretary of State Colin Powell, who served under George W. Bush, endorsed Barack Obama for what he said are a number of policy reasons, in addition to a growing disillusionment with the tenor of McCain's campaign. But that's all a big lie, because, according to Limbaugh and Buchanan and legions of white Republicans, Powell endorsed Obama because they're both black! While some people might suggest that's because Limbaugh and his ilk only vote for shitty white GOP candidates because they are white and Republican, others like Racialicious editrix Latoya Peterson might have a different opinion... like the fact that these are just unreconstructed racists. That, plus Joe Six Pack; whose side I get to be on in the race war; how much my 401k really lost last quarter; and why you don't need health care when it might mean electing a scary black man.

Sarah Palin Gets To Have Troopergate Both Ways

Megan Carpentier — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 11:00:00 EDT

If you hadn't been paying attention because it was so boring in comparison to Bristol Palin and rape kits, Sarah Palin was actually being investigated for ethical violations everyone pretty much suspected she was guilty of. That investigation stemmed from her firing Walt Monegan, Alaska's public safety commissioner, after she, Todd Palin and a number of her staff attempted to pressure him into firing her former brother-in-law, Michael Wooten. Well, independent investigator Stephen Branchflower's report, released by lawmakers yesterday, says that Sarah Palin was well within her constitutional rights to fire Monegan for any reason — but that her efforts to get him to fire Wooten were out of line. Does that mean she's a goner? Hardly. More »

McCain Campaign, CBS Journalists Are Unashamed Of Their Own Entitlement, Election Tactics

Megan Carpentier — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 10:00:00 EDT

When the chips are down and all the prayers to God to win the election and protect you from witchcraft haven't worked, everyone knows it's time to call in the big guns: the forces of evil. And, if they're too busy helping the Axis of Evil get nukes and shit, well, then you can always call in the forces of pettiness and covert racism, as they've been helpful in many an election here in the States. But Swampland's Ana Marie Cox and I will insist on, at a minimum, throwing rhetorical spitballs at the hordes and making assfucking jokes as the sky is falling, so there's that, at least... after the jump.

Do You Think Todd Palin Will Let John McCain Fly His Plane?

Megan Carpentier — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 10:00:00 EDT

John McCain's on the cover Rolling Stone this week flying a plane that is undoubtedly not Real American(TM) Todd Palin's "320-series Piper single-engine airplane" and, if Todd has his way, likely never will be. But two Unreal Americans, Kay Steiger of Pushback and me, have a bunch to say about what it might mean to live middle-class in the unreal Real America(TM), what kind of lipstick Real Americans(TM) waste on their pigs and what (if any) print publications Real Americans(TM) read. It's so lonely being so normal! More »

What Julia Allison & John McCain Have Done To Journalism

Megan Carpentier — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 10:00:00 EDT

Since the world is ending around us, it's important to take note of what parts of our civilization fell and in what order. And, really, there's no one better at documenting mayhem than the original Wonkette (the rest of us are just pale imitations), Ana Marie Cox, who now writes for Time's Swampland. Today, Ana and I talk about how the New York Times is snarking on John McCain, Sarah's tanning bed, why Todd Palin might have been perfect for me but really isn't, McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds' sexual proclivities and who Julia Allison is fucking to death now.

Pamela Anderson Has Some Advice For Sarah Palin

Noted anti-fur activist has some advice for noted huntress Sarah Palin: "She can suck it." Yet another woman with a legitimate policy disagreement with Sarah Palin. [Huffington Post]
By the way, Todd Palin's about to break his subpoena cherry, as he's expected to be subpoenaed to testify about his role in TrooperGate. God, if only the Congress could subpoena people to testify about wrongdoing in the Bush Administration! Wait, that's right, they could, but then they wouldn't get their bellies scratched. [Wall Street Journal]
Once upon a time, in a primary far, far away, John McCain said that former Governor Mitt Romney and former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani (pop: 8,000,000, attacked by terrorists in 2001) didn't have enough national security experience to be President. [Huffington Post] More »

Sarah Palin And Indulging In "The Liquor Cabinet"

Megan Carpentier — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 10:00:00 EDT

It is way-back week on Crappy Hour, when my first Crappy Love, Moe Tkacik, agrees to relive our original blogospheric passion for a full five days! Today's edition — for which we decided to stay up late, get drunk, and parse the headlines rather than get up early and hungover — includes my embarrassing encounter with David Gregory, the origins of human life, the First Dude, rumors, Karl Rove, Sarah Palin, David Broder, laughable Safire-ian stupidity, teabagging and the comparison between Governor Palin's leaky vagina and my own. Yeah, this is what sort of happens when Moe and I drink together. More »

Todd Palin: Everything America Wants In A "First Dude"

Margaret Hartmann — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 17:40:00 EDT

With all the talk of moose hunting and unwed teen pregnancy in the week since McCain picked Sarah Palin as his VP, the media almost forgot to address the biggest question raised by having a woman on a major ticket — what would we call her husband if she became president?! Yesterday, before Todd Palin's first national speech at a luncheon for Cindy McCain in St. Paul, Elisabeth Hasselbeck introduced Mr. Palin as the "future first Second Man." But Sarah Palin has already dubbed her husband "First Dude," which seems fitting, especially after getting to know Todd a little better via Good Morning America. He's a man's man! He can fix a boiler or a toilet or a sink! He named his daughter after his plane! Todd may be a dude, but he still has all the qualities we look for in a first lady! More »
