Tip for Sen. McCain: Trust me, Dann Dalton is your Education Secretary if you win.

Impeached former President Bill Clinton has told US reporters he understands why Republican VP candidate Sarah, Lipstick Warrior Princess appeals to voters. He said: “I get why she’s hot out there, why she’s doing well.”
Fox News has run the headline “I Get Why She’s Hot” over a photo of Palin, with a smaller inset picture of the ex fornicator-in-chief in a suitably leering facial expression (otherwise known as “looking like Bill Clinton”). Bless their little fair and balanced socks but the real top line of their story isn’t that Slick Willie has a preternatural ability to induce queasiness whenever he talks about a woman, any woman. It’s his remarks about her baby son Trig, who suffers from Down Syndrome.
He claimed the little kid’s disability was part of Governor Palin’s appeal, characterising voters’ reactions as follows: “I like that little Down syndrome kid. One of them lives down the street. They’re wonderful children.”
I like that little Down syndrome kid.
One of them lives down the street.
They’re wonderful children.
Perhaps there are more morally objectionable ways of conducting oneself in public life than going after the disabled baby of a political opponent, but I can’t think of any. It is not the condescending assumption that the average American will judge Governor Palin not on her achievements, abilities, and values but instead heap sympathy on her family. Nor is it the patronising assertion that Americans would need to have personal knowledge of a Down Syndrome child before they could empathise with the Palins. What is truly revolting, repugnant, and reprehensible about Clinton’s remarks is that he brought this child into the political arena at all. That was bad enough. But to suggest his disability will be a vote winner for his mother is beneath contempt.
Proof, if more be necessary, that this man has no shame.
Liberals may be spiteful traitors who toil tirelessly to destroy our traditions, mock our beliefs, and undermine our troops in Iraq but by God are they entertaining!
This little nugget is from The Yorksher Gob (http://community.livejournal.com/theyorkshergob/), by way of Lib Dem Blogs (http://www.libdemblogs.co.uk/).
“Skientific proof of John Stuart Mill’s maxim that although not all conservatives are stupid, all stupid people are conservatives: only conservatives are more likely to believe a lie after it has been comprehensively debunked, and the more proof you give them that they are wrong, the more they will insist that they are right.”
Only liberals could dismiss a whole mass of people as “stupid” while spelling “scientific” with a K.
Oh, and I don’t think we’ll be taking lessons in gullibility from the global warming hysterics.
Alistair Darling addressed Harriet Harman’s Class-based Sewing Circle in Manchester today, blathered about “bumps” ahead “on a difficult road”. and again failed in his impersonation of a sentient human being. When will Labour learn? We’re sick of them. We want rid of them. Their words mean less than nothing. So shut up, Mr Chancellor. As The Jam once sang: “Whatcha trying to say that you haven’t tried to say before? / You’re just another red balloon with a lot of hot gas / Why don’t you f*** off?”
I can’t even summon up the bile to inveigh against these people anymore. Lampooning them is no longer fun. Labour is hurting our country. Satisfying though it is for Tories to excoriate bumbling ministers, we have to stop. It’s becoming undignified to keep kicking this dying, flea-ridden, three-legged dog as it lies whimpering on the ground. We should refocus our attention to getting a Conservative government elected and putting the Great back in front of Britain.
Anyway, enough of that depressing stuff! In the absence of much of political worth to discuss, I provide you with a link — for your right-wing delight — to an easy-peasy quiz on Margaret Thatcher. It’s easier than a Women’s Studies degree, but still a bit of fun for Thatcher buffs.
JK Rowling has donated £1million to the Labour Party. She has cited their “battle” against “child poverty” (which has largely consisted of throwing other folk’s cash at the idle, incapable, intoxicated, and indifferent).
Great, I’m all for fantastically rich people funding political parties. Why any would want to hand money over to soak-the-rich socialists is beyond me (that’s like being taxed twice).
My only worry is the new donations scandal this might provoke if Hogwarts secures grant-maintained status after Rowling’s contribution.
What a speech! Facing up to the liberal media, slamming Obama, oh, and winning the hearts of America. Yeah, that was a speech.
I’m sorry to say, but I think I’m gonna have to break up with Ann Coulter; there’s another woman in my life now.
When I first heard John McCain had selected Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate, I was elated. Actually, that’s not true. When I first heard McCain had picked Governor Palin, I said: “Sarah Who? Governor of Where? Is moosehunting an actual thing?” Then I Googled her policy positions, at which point my emotions would best be characterised as: Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pro-life, pro-gun, pro-drilling, anti-tax, corruption-busting. The only way she could be more appealing were if she was a former Miss Wasilla. Wait, she is? Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally, a reason for conservatives to support New York Times-worshipping liberal John McCain. Naturally, the mainstream media, taking their orders from the Democratic National Committee (a change from al-Qaeda’s Marketing Department), ripped into this brilliant, talented, hugely personable, God-fearing, liberal-scaring, populist Republican Athena. They attacked her record on corruption, they invented phony scandals, they called her a creationist — then they went after her 17 year old daughter. Her 17 year old daughter. B. Hussein Obama is friends with a Weatherman, has a white-hating preacher, and a wife who only started loving America when people starting comparing her husband to Jesus. But the fearless watchdog media would rather hound a pregnant girl, whose only crime is to be bringing human life into the world in contravention of the express instructions of liberals everywhere to kill anything that moves in the womb.
Bristol Palin is keeping her baby and marrying the father. That’s what real American families are like. They’re not perfect; not Leave it to Beaver. Conservatives never claimed they were. Conservatives believe in family values not as a smug sneer at people who don’t match up to our standards (like liberals on, well, everything imaginable) but as an aspiration.
That’s Sarah Palin’s family. That’s John McCain’s family. And that’s American families.
Am I psychic or what? My last post argued that whilst the liberal media are giving Biden a pass for his speech-stealing, if McCain picked a Christian running mate the Left would start sqeauling Christofascism.
Then Sarah Palin (my opinion? Right-Wing Goddess!) and now this from far-left hate site, Daily Kos:
Sarah Palin’s connections that McCain doesn’t want you to know about
There are quite a number of extremely troubling links between Sarah Palin and neopentecostal dominionists–enough that, in truth, she may be ultimately as much of a “dream candidate” for the dominionist movement as Mike Huckabee was. Even worse, she’s running in a manner that has been frighteningly successful for dominionist groups since the early 80’s–specifically, as a “stealth candidate”.

But Bill O’Reilly’s a nut for trying to warn people about this blogger…
The Gulag Party’s VP candidate was once notoriously caught out wholesale stealing passages from a speech by left-wing British Labour leader Neil Kinnock. As we Brits know, Kinnock was an especially useless socialist rube — at least Biden’s given us a heads-up on what kind of Vice Prez he’d make.
Of course, the MSM aren’t talking about this. It’s not news that a man who aspires to be the second most powerful man in the US government (or rather the Vice President) is an unapologetic plagiarist. And yet if McCain picks a Veep candidate who once went to church, the liberal media will hyperventilate and warn darkly of the descending cloud of fascism cloaking America.
