^Snap! Who graded that paper, George W. Bush?!

Bristol Palin's Baby Daddy is Black?

WTF! Is he trying to get lynched?

Reporter: Well, you say you’re sure that she has the experience, but again, I’m just asking for an example. What experience does she have in the field of national security?

McCAIN: Energy. She knows more about energy than probably anyone else in the United States of America. …. And we all know that energy is a critical and vital national security issue.

Summary: On September 18, Fox News' Neil Cavuto conflated giving home mortgages to minorities with risky lending practices, suggesting that there should have been "a clarion call that said, 'Fannie and Freddie are a disaster. Loaning to minorities and risky folks is a disaster.' "

Katie Couric interviews Sarah Palin about reforming the finance industry:

COURIC: You've said, quote, "John McCain will reform the way Wall Street does business." Other than supporting stricter regulations of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac two years ago, can you give us any more example of his leading the charge for more oversight?

PALIN: I think that the example that you just cited, with his warnings two years ago about Fannie and Freddie — that, that's paramount. That's more than a heck of a lot of other senators and representatives did for us.

COURIC: But he's been in Congress for 26 years. He's been chairman of the powerful Commerce Committee. And he has almost always sided with less regulation, not more.

PALIN: He's also known as the maverick though. Taking shots from his own party, and certainly taking shots from the other party. Trying to get people to understand what he's been talking about — the need to reform government.

COURIC: [...Da hell you say !?!...] I'm just going to ask you one more time, not to belabor the point. Specific examples in his 26 years of pushing for more regulation?

PALIN: I'll try to find you some and I'll bring them to you.

COURIC: [...Da hell you say !?!...]

How dare Couric ask the question three times in an effort to elicit an actual answer? She has obviously become a tool of the Obama campaign and is hereby banned from further contact with the McCain campaign on the grounds of insufficient deference.

Yeah, I knew that, but it seemed like something The Onion would print. And Katie was probably thinking "DHYS?" in her mind.

I read through some on the comments and this one stood out: "Some may find her efforts to answer without political evasion an endearing quality." For a minute I thought the writer had a point. What with the current climate of anti-intellectualism, her fans could spin it that way. But, at some point ignorance has to be recognized for what it is.

"A very wise TV executive once told me that the key to TV is projecting through the screen. It's one of the keys to the success of, say, a Bill O'Reilly, who comes through the screen and grabs you by the throat. Palin too projects through the screen like crazy. I'm sure I'm not the only male in America who, when Palin dropped her first wink, sat up a little straighter on the couch and said, "Hey, I think she just winked at me." And her smile. By the end, when she clearly knew she was doing well, it was so sparkling it was almost mesmerizing. It sent little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the living rooms of America. This is a quality that can't be learned; it's either something you have or you don't, and man, she's got it. "

A women's shelter on Wednesday cut headliner Sandra Bernhard from its annual benefit after she said Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin would be gang-raped if she ever visited New York.

Bernhard's made the remarks last month during her one-woman show in Washington before Palin visited New York to campaign. Bernhard said Palin would be "gang-raped by my big black brothers" during a diatribe in which she also criticized Palin for opposing abortion rights.

"All this P.C. is bullshit."--Mell Kuhn, mayor of Arkansas City, KS

The mayor participated in a beauty pageant fundraiser and "won awards for 'most creative talent' and the overall Ms. CASA [Court Appointed Special Advocates] 2008." His backup dancers were called the "Red Hot Puntangs."

Here's KKKuhn in blackface (my bad, he doesn't consider it "blackface" because he "can't do a black accent"--DHUA!?!) and without his white sheet and hood.

Either way, black or white, he makes an UGLY ass woman.

During the October 3 broadcast of Minneapolis radio station KTLK's The Chris Baker Show, Baker and fellow KTLK host Langdon Perry discussed Gov. Sarah Palin's "hotness." After Baker asserted that Palin is "hot," Perry responded, "She's the hottest vice-presidential candidate ever, but I don't think she's -- but I don't think she's standalone hot." Baker also said that Palin "shoulda had a little cleavage going" during the October 2 vice-presidential debate to "[d]istract [Sen.] Joe Biden a little bit," and added: "[S]how your stuff, you know what I'm saying? Use all your assets." He then said: "By the way, I noticed a panty line on her. ... When they turned to walk to the podium, I saw a panty line."

Baker went on to say: "By the way, I would say some of the shallowest political analysis you'll find anywhere on the airwaves -- but more real world. Tell me that people weren't looking at her and going, 'Oh whoa.' " Perry then remarked that Palin's "wink was a -- that wink was as 'come hither' a wink as I've seen."

As Media Matters for America documented, Baker said on October 2 that "I'm not that excited about women voting" and declared on September 18 that "it's rare to find a woman worthy of serving in political office."

From the October 3 broadcast of 100.3 KTLK-FM's The Chris Baker Show:

PERRY: I really, I actually ended up liking Sarah Palin more after last night than I had before, but I still don't get the Palin-mania. I mean, I thought she made some decent points, I thought she handled herself better than I expected, and I think she's likable in a lot of ways. She's got a nice smile, and she seems likable.

BAKER: Hot.

PERRY: See, I think she's hot for a vice-presidential candidate. She's the hottest vice-presidential candidate ever, but I don't think she's -- but I don't think she's standalone hot.

BAKER: Really?

PERRY: In other words, if you just saw her on the street, I don't know if you'd go, "Man, she's hot."

BAKER: Oh, I do.

PERRY: She's hot for a vice -- it's the Mark Bauer theory of relative hotness -- but I think she's hot for --

BAKER: Wait a minute, can you break down the Mark Bauer theory of -- well, let's do this. Let's take our first little break here.

[...]

BAKER: Did Sarah Palin change your mind? Now, we all remember, Sarah Palin will not be the president. But after watching that debate last night, I am certainly happier that, as the vice president, she's going to have John McCain's ear. I like that little wink to the crowd last night: "Oh, I'm going to try to turn him on that ANWR thing."

PERRY: That was a "come-hither" wink.

BAKER: Was it?

PERRY: Oh, yeah. That was one of those -- that was --

BAKER: And I -- and you know what else I got a kick out of was the shout-out to the elementary school kids.

PERRY: That was so -- I hated every second of --

BAKER: What do you mean you hated that?

PERRY: It was so cute. She's so precious sometimes. It's just a little over the top for me.

[...]

BAKER: And she's got glasses, and I've always had a thing for women with glasses. So, see, I'm honest.

PERRY: See, yeah. So, did you notice her high heels last night?

BAKER: Love those.

PERRY: 'Cause I think she was going all business upstairs and then she just went with the high heels for just a little "whoa, wow, hey" --

BAKER: She's always wearing some, ahem, pumps, if you catch my drift. And that's good. Why not?

PERRY: That's exactly what I called them this morning.

BAKER: Very -- you know what, but women do that.

PERRY: Yeah.

BAKER: I mean, come on. Why do women -- why do women have to turn it down? I think she shoulda had a ---

PERRY: I'm not saying she should have to.

BAKER: -- shoulda had a little cleavage going there.

PERRY: No, I just asked if you noticed --

BAKER: Distract Joe Biden a little bit.

PERRY: I didn't say she had to do anything. I just asked if you noticed.

BAKER: A little action. Show your stuff. You know what I'm saying? Use all your assets. Anyway, 65 -- by the way, I noticed a panty line on her.

PERRY: Did ya?

BAKER: Saw it, yeah, at the beginning of the debate when they turned --

PERRY: I truthfully did not look.

BAKER: -- when they turned to walk to the podium, I saw a panty line.

PERRY: OK.

JORDAN (producer): I have to ask, for all guys, what kind of panties?

PERRY: He didn't say he saw her panties.

JORDAN: No, but he saw the line, though. You can kind of tell from the line.

PERRY: You can?

JORDAN: You should be able to.

BAKER: Are you -- Jordan, it answers -- the statement itself answers the question.

JORDAN: OK.

BAKER: Panty line.

JORDAN: All right, never mind.

BAKER: 651-989-5855. Chris Baker radio show. By the way, I would say some of the shallowest political analysis you'll find anywhere on the airwaves -- but more real world. Tell me that people weren't looking at her and going, "Oh whoa."

PERRY: The wink was a -- that wink was as "come-hither" a wink as I've seen.

BAKER: You think?

PERRY: She did two winks. She did the wink early, which was, "Hey."

BAKER: But that's her.

PERRY: Well, I didn't say it wasn't her. I just said it was a "come-hither wink." I didn't say it wasn't her.

BAKER: All right, your phone calls next. It's the Chris Baker radio show.

A local [Virginia] newspaper columnist, in a spoof of Obama’s platform [The (Clarified) platform of Barack Hussein Obama], wrote in one recent piece that the Democrat would hire the rapper Ludacris to paint the White House black (a reference to a pro-Obama song by Ludacris), and divert more foreign aid to Africa so "the Obama family there can skim enough to allow them to free their goats and live the American Dream." He joked that Obama would replace the 50 stars on the U.S. flag "with a star and crescent logo," an Islamic symbol, and that his policy on drugs would be to "raise taxes to pay for Obama's inner-city political base."

I'M AN ELITIST TOO.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - A Minneapolis radio station said Friday it would air public service announcements on HIV/AIDS after a pair of talk hosts accused former NBA star Magic Johnson of faking AIDS.

KTLK's Chris Baker and Langdon Perry made the remarks during Baker's conservative talk show on Wednesday. After Johnson condemned the statements, the station said on Friday it regretted "some off-hand remarks" by the pair.

According to a partial transcript and audio clip posted on a media watchdog site, mediamatters.org, the remarks came after a caller asserted that health care isn't a basic right. Perry responded by asking about treatable diseases that a person can live with for a long time "if you just get some basic drugs."

Baker responded, "Like Magic Johnson?"

Perry replied, "Like Magic with his faked AIDS. Magic faked AIDS."

Baker said, "You think Magic faked AIDS for sympathy?"

Perry replied, "I'm convinced that Magic faked AIDS."

"Me too," Baker said.

Johnson issued a statement Thursday saying he was "outraged that Chris Baker and Langdon Perry would minimize such a serious and deadly issue."

quote:

PERRY: See, yeah. So, did you notice her high heels last night?

BAKER: Love those.

“There are millions of people around this world praying to their god—whether it’s Hindu, Buddha, Allah—that his opponent wins, for a variety of reasons. And Lord, I pray that you will guard your own reputation, because they’re going to think that their God is bigger than you, if that happens.”

Da hell u sayeth!?!

That was Arnold Conrad, the former pastor of Grace Evangelical Free Church in Davenport delivering the invocation at John McCain’s rally in Davenport, Iowa Saturday, October 10, 2008.

What's the big deal?? A couple of blowhards poppin' off at the mouth. That's what they do. It's a free country and they expressed their opinions.

Yes ... it's a free country ... which among other things means that I'm free to express amazement/poke fun at what blowhards say.

That after all is what this thread is about.
