Anatomy of a smear campaign

When we last heard from Sarah Palin she was anointing state Treasurer Richard Mourdock over incumbent Senator Dick Lugar in Indiana’s GOP Senate primary that is being held today. In March Lugar had a comfortable lead. When Sarah gave Mourdock her blessing via Facebook two weeks ago it was a close race. More recent polls [...]

Dragon Lady Open Thread

She still lives rent-free inside their heads.

Using religion as a hook

The Other McCain: As you can see, Bashir calls Romney “Mitt the Mendacious” three times. The crudeness of Bashir’s rhetorical method is enough to make Allahpundit pine for “the relative subtlety and understated good taste of Keith Olbermann.” Bashir also reminds MSNBC viewers that on Wednesday, he interviewed Pastor Robert Jeffress, the Southern Baptist who [...]

Are you ready to rumble?

Couric, Palin to face off again on morning shows Nearly four years after they clashed in a memorable TV interview, Sarah Palin and Katie Couric face off again — this time in a morning-show battle royale.

Sarah Speaks

Gov. Palin: Last Frontier Women Don’t Tolerate Misogynists Two fellow Alaskan women, Kirsten Powers and Penny Lee, penned a letter to the New York Times calling out misogynist attacks on women in public life. They included this interesting aside: “Coincidentally we both hail from Alaska — where women are treated as equals — so perhaps [...]

Obamamania vs. Palinpalooza

Sarah Palin: During the ’08 campaign, the same media that reported breathlessly about an old used tanning bed I purchased to get some sun during the dark Alaskan winter, couldn’t be bothered to investigate Barack Obama’s associations, statements or even his voting record as a state senator. Suntans and what I wore on the campaign [...]

“Game Change” draws big audience – sort of

WaPo: “Game Change” draws highest ratings for original HBO movie in eight years One massive marketing and GOP-undies-bunching campaign later, the unveiling of HBO’s Sarah Palin flick, “Game Change,”attracted 2.123 million viewers Saturday night at 9. HBO says that is its biggest original-movie opening crowd in about eight years. To put the audience in perspective, that’s [...]

BREAKING NEWS: John McCain is still not dead!

Mediaite: Former McCain senior campaign strategist Steve Schmidt sat down with MSNBC’s Morning Joe Monday morning and spoke candidly about his role in the 2008 presidential campaign, saying HBO’s Game Change was largely true. “I think it was very accurate,” Schmidt acknowledged. “For all of us in the campaign, it really rang true. It gave [...]

Zombie Lies

Byron York turns one smear into another: Despite a few positive touches, no one will be surprised to learn that “Game Change,” the movie, will present an overwhelmingly negative portrait of Palin. Roach — he also directed the one-sided, pro-Gore “Recount” about the 2000 election — even goes beyond the book to throw in some [...]

Fear is the mind-killer

Actress Who Plays Palin Found Her Selection ‘Pretty Terrifying’ The prospect of Sarah Palin as the Republican vice presidential nominee in 2008 was “pretty terrifying” to actress Julianne Moore, who plays Palin in HBO’s upcoming Game Change movie about the 2008 campaign, but not because she feared Palin’s policies. Instead, the self-described “longtime liberal” dreaded [...]

Sarah Speaks

“The door is open.”

Rewriting Herstory

I grabbed this from Wikipedia: Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the Race of a Lifetime is a book by political journalists John Heilemann and Mark Halperin about the 2008 United States presidential election.[1] Released on January 11, 2010,[2] it was also published in the United Kingdom under the title Race [...]

Sarah goes rogue again

Cannibals in GOP Establishment Employ Tactics of the Left We have witnessed something very disturbing this week. The Republican establishment which fought Ronald Reagan in the 1970s and which continues to fight the grassroots Tea Party movement today has adopted the tactics of the left in using the media and the politics of personal destruction [...]

Game Changer

She really was. Maybe she still is.

Sarah says “How do you like me now?”

Sarah Palin Tells Fox Business Network That ‘It’s Not Too Late’ To Jump Into The GOP Race In a pre-taped interview set to air tonight on Fox Business Network’s “Follow The Money,” Eric Bolling mentioned to Sarah Palin that people constantly tell him they wish she was running for President. Instead of tut-tutting the idea, [...]

Say bye-bye to the Palinista vote

Mitt Romney Snags Coveted Lisa Murkowski Endorsement With Mitt Romney plummeting in the polls, his campaign was under intense pressure to pad his grass roots street cred by adding to an already impressive string of endorsements from such high profile conservative stalwarts as David Brooks, Jimmy Carter, Al Gore, Meghan McCain, Alec Baldwin, and Kathleen [...]

Sarah Palin stirs the pot

Governor Sarah Palin was on Hannity last night where she was asked  a leading question about political correctness and Herman Cain. Her answer on Cain – character counts. If the accusations, of “screwing around on his wife, giving money to some broad unbeknownst to his wife” are false, then “the false accuser is really despicable.” [...]

Bring back the draft!

Seriously, this “all-volunteer” shit ain’t cutting it. We need to draft Hillary and Sarah to run against each other in 2012. That would change the current lose-lose line-up into win-win.

FLASHBACK – The Great Alaskan Turkey Massacre of 2008

One of my favorite Thanksgiving memories was watching Keith Olbermann, Cenk Uglier and the other members of the PDS Brigades make total fools of themselves over the death of a couple turkeys. Where did they think those things came from, the frozen food section of Whole Foods? What are some of your favorite Thanksgiving memories? [...]
