The FNC pretty boy said she has hobbies not like the rest of us. WHAT A NYC feline orafice!
That FNC pretty boy should turn in his manhood card for acute cluelessness about the “rest of america”
I thought it was hilarious last week when reported that both blabberman and tingly Chrissy wanted to see Brokaw go,too much. Brokaw the conservative! Only on Mostly stupid NBC.
Thank you, shadeaud!
You win the coveted AB Reporter Award!!!!
Folks, our first Sunday Morning Talk Show reportage of the day!!!
Join up! Lock n load!!!!
Absolutely Amazing!
So when’s Palin going to make the rounds? I’m looking forward to seeing that.
Of course not, but Pawlenty did a pretty good job with that.
However, did you know that we have a crisis in science? That's what Tom Brokaw announced this morning. I can't believe Pawlenty didn't lean over and say "What the hell are you talking about?"

Thank you for doing the work MSNBC Olberman and Matthews are avoiding
No surprise there....
yup , ... and , one of my faves is . . .
the application for ( I think ) the Illinois BAR
in the space for HAVE YOU EVER BEEN KNOWN BY ANY OTHER NAME , it is blank , ...
shouldn’t he have stated Yes , Barry Soetoro {{???}}
Probably rumor mill and tinfoil hat material.
However, have you noticed Obama does not have anyone he’s worked with over the years stand up for him? Nobody is saying “he’s a great guy” or “he’s done so well” sort of thing from anyone other than paid hacks and party bosses.
Sarah Palin, OTOH, enjoys high 80’s approval throughout Alaska, and the networks have to search to find someone to oppose her.
According to dims/DBM, the pubbies are the ones who send out talking points. That just shows me who really does it.
That simply is not true. I would not touch that.
We need a running “Media Bypass” Thread where we can have a running thread with information the Dinosaur media is censoring out by ommission.
Morning AB, All....
Let’s immediately get up to snuff on that Palin story the MSM, which only has to click through to a few sites to see the actual documents et al. Which I did and understand completely. There is absolutely nothing to that story but that’s not how the drive-by’s will tell it.
Quick and Dirty Story on this so-called Troopergate. If I can quickly read all the documents and get to the bottom of it, surely the drive-by’s who are paid to do this stuff can? They can’t find anything real so they have to make up stuff.
Palin’s sister called her up because her husband, guy named Wooten, came home and was threatening her, the children and to kill their (Sarah and Molly (the sister’s) father.
Wooten is a state trooper. Sara tried to calm her sister down but she could hear her brother-in-law screaming and threatening over the phone. Finally Sarah gave her son the phone to keep listening in and drove over to her sister’s. Because of the configuration of the windows, Sarah could see inside her sister’s house. She could see her BIL standing in front of her sister screaming and raising his hands. Sarah got a neighbor near her sister to come look.
This all happened two months BEFORE Sarah even ran for Governor, now over two years ago. Records and transcripts of what happened are all online and very readable if the writers aren’t in the tank determined to lie all over the place about this. I spent an hour or so going over it all because I KNEW, I just KNEW this would happen.
The officer taking Palin’s report asked why she didn’t call the police. Sarah Palin said she didn’t want to get her BIL in trouble, that his job might have been on the line. Remember, Sarah just wanted her sister to be safe; she didn’t want to take any action so severe UNLESS she felt her sister was in danger, which she did not.
Over two years later, get this, Sarah fired some bureaucratic nobody who was doing a lousy job. This bureaucratic nobody, name Monegin or something, looked to make up some kind of scandal out of nothing. Monegin was the head of Alaska’s Safety Something Something, might have been Bureau of Funny Walks. Whatever, he was oncit a cop. Sarah fired him because, well he wasn’t doing the job she wanted him to do, imagine this concept if you will. She offered him another job, similar talent, same salary I assume, something with booze. Monegin turned it down.
With some nudging by that state’s corrupt Republican party (TWO fellows name Stevens under scrutiny by the Feds, one fine fellow named Ted now indicted I might remind) Monegin said that he was fired because Palin was pressuring him to fire this former BIL Wooten, which Monegin COULD do. But he is such a fine, fine honest fellow, he had to quit rather than do the evil Governor’s bidding.
This is all a crock folks. If Sarah Palin wanted to fire her AWFUL brother-in-law the Alaskan State Trooper 1) why did she not just call that death threat in to her father when it happened? Remember, she didn’t because she didn’t want to GET THE GUY IN TROUBLE! Now over two years later as the state Governor she suddenly wants him fired. Or 2)Why couldn’t she have Wooten fired sooner as Governor….or so pressure Monegin to do so? All of a sudden she wants to fire her brother-in-law, right when she’s being nominated for VP?
Couple more things, stay with me, this guy Wooten is one bad, bad, very bad dude. He tazered his stepson with his police issued tazer gun, he got out his gun in a bar and demanded the bar owner throw out a patron who was with a lady he rather favored AND, with a powerful union, Wooten STILL got five days suspension but he should be fired. He’s nobody’s hero, read up on this when you can. And STILL Sarah Palin didn’t want to hurt her sister, her sister’s family and their livelihood and did not report his terrible behavior. Wooten’s record of despicable behavior was reported by others.
In the interest of fair and balanced, Monegin did name one person in Palin’s surround who called him and said that “the Governor and her husband are beside themselves that Wooten still has a job” as I paraphrase. That person, head of the Bureau of Hot and Cold Water Taps, DID admit to making such a call to Monegin but did so with no prompting by the Palins. Plenty of other people in Palin’s surround were named as complicit by Monegin but they have ALL denied it and agreed to sign under oath.
Be prepared for this, folks, cause it’s easy enough to read it all and if I could easily get the whole story than for sure the drive-by’s can.
I guess I am still a little bit fired up over her nomination! I also see her as running in 2012 as well,maybe at the top of the ticket who knows.
Excellent post and you are right.
Thanks! What a great point! Bears repeating and emphasizing.
No senator EVER ran a disaster relief effort.
There is no MENTION of a poll in the news.
