Funniest Republican of the Day: Sarah Palin
Question: Do you think you’re intellectual?
Palin: Yehhh-sss.
Now that’s freakin’ hilarious. (Even if, or perhaps precisely because, she wasn’t trying to be funny.)
You can read the full interview, at People, here.

Bonus funny:
McCain to Imus: “I think she’s the most qualified of anyone recently who has run for vice president to tell you the truth.”
Hmmm. More qualified than Gore, Kemp, and Cheney? Even more qualified than McCain’s best pal Lieberman?
Stop it, my sides are splitting.

And here is your funny Democrat of the day: http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/news/177893…
The best part is when she says if she has another kid and it's a boy, she wants to name him Zamboni.
AR- You have become Sooooooo predictable—
As have you and your kind.
I see no outrage, or even a distancing, at the violence and hate from the Left. I have been told repeatedly and recently here is only a Right vice. Well, of course that is true if we only pay attention to the kooks on the Right, and try to pass them off as mainstream, while burying any references to the excess of the Left fanatical core.
As much as I don't think McCain would be a good President, and agree that Palin is a political joke, there is a part of me that is desperate for them to win, just to see the freak-out on the Left that will occur, and to wipe the smugness from you all.
My point is not about the incident-which I have not heard about- but that you are choosing to bring it up when it is clearly O/T.
At least condemn it wherever you see it without the constant need for tit for tat. It could go on forever– like I could tell you about the tire slashing of 2 dozen Obama supporters. Elections seem to bring out the worst in the worst of us- but what happened at Palin;s rallies- she does not condemn- and instead actually incited.
kritt, don't expect rational thought from AR. These posts show that he has abandoned it completely. The first incident he cites is performed by a mugger. A crook willing to assault another human being for a small amount of money. The second one is pure speculation on the part of a Republican activist in terms of motivation. No one knows what really happened except the perpetrators. In neither case is there any clue as to there being an actual Democrat involved. In addition notice his reference to “your kind” on his part. Isn't it just precious.
Jim – yes, I am sure a black Republican mugger would be a good suspect in that case. And it is likely a Rovian Republican operative did the shooting, to cast doubt on the Democrats.
And I will be more than happy to comment on a relevant thread when one of the top-level posters grows a set of balls and discusses the misdeeds and hate from the Left.
In the meantime, I think I will wait for Chavez to announce he is endorsing McCain. It is likely to be shorter wait.
“your kind = reflexive, left-leaning apologists who think that Democrats can do no wrong.
And I am acting and thinking quite rationally for some time. I tried playing 'nice' as i said I would, but no one else from the Left was willing to play nice back. So fuck you all – back to old school style.
OMG…the Zamboni comment was a total tongue in cheek joke…even the interviewer said that.
Nowhere did I say anything about it having anything to do with Republicans. I just have a hard time picturing a highly politicized mugger that steals $60. And a backwards “B”? What the heck is that supposed to mean?
It's really hilarious that this follows the claim to be rational. Thank you for proving my point for me. In fact the basis of your posts seems to be hyper-partisan, overly emotional, hateful and full of demonization of those who disagree with you. In other words, perfectly representational of most Republican politics since the Age of Newt. And somehow after that last post I doubt you'll find lots of defenders around here. Wouldn't you really be happier at Power Lines or Hot Air?
AR-” Your kind-” like– “that one over there”– I guess I'm not one of the ones Sarah Palin called the real Americans- hardworking and God-fearing that love their country-yep I'm one of the liberals that Rep Hayes says hates those types.
Yes, I'm a delusional idiot- thanks for your very rational assessment. No matter that I have criticized my party in Congress for being too timid and covering their own hides . No matter that I rejected tactics that include hacking into an opponent's email or spreading unsubstantiated rumors about Palin's last pregnancy. No matter that I condemned Dems like Rep Mahoney and Dollar Bill. Yes, I get it— and at last I'm hearing from an unbiased source like yourself.
And why all the vitriol? As far as I know no one has used the F word or abused you verbally. A bit thin-skinned aren't we???
Jim, kritt – my sincerest apologies. I was dealing with some very troubling family issues last night (the past few days, in fact), and rather than treating my nightly visits to TMV as an escape, I brought my anger with me.
My conduct and language was unnecessary, and I am sorry for any offense given.
AR
Apology accepted. I think we all have had times when we've been more irritable than normal.
Jim -
Thanks for your graciousness.
Just to add insult to injury (for me), there is this: http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/cnn-news/17…
I should have seen this coming, and had I not been in such a black mood, I would have treated it with appropriate skepticism.
Yes, I saw the news on her recantation from another source and was actually coming here to post about it. I just thought that something seemed odd about it.
