The long knives are out for Palin
She'll have to hold a press conference soon to air her side and defend herself from all the gossip comming out.

I for one, can't wait.

1. Yeah, her press conference will just make things implode in her face
and we'll be here eating popcorn enjoying the gory messy spectacle.

6. Nailin' Palin?
Would have been hotter with someone who looked more like her, like say Tina Fey. Talk about a dead ringer.

9. My GF is a dead ringer for Palin.
Since October, I doubt we have had to pay for 20% of our bar tabs.

Here in Marin, they just love her. People wanting to pose for pics, and all that.

Her sister even had a pair of those Kawasaki eyeglasses, sent them to us.

I wish I knew how to post pics.

12. Posting pics:
Open a free photobucket account.

http://photobucket.com/

Upload pics from your desktop or any folder to your photobucket site, it's real easy.

Then open the pic in photobucket and copy the URL into a message.

An example of a photobucket image URL might be: h t t p://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e150/NYCSKP/Biden.png

Which is the URL for this stunning Joe Biden pic:

18. "Upload pics from your desktop or any folder"
See, that's the problem.

I have no idea what that means.

But I have learned that "desktop" means "computer" (so what do we call the horizontal surface on the piece of furniture on which we use as a rest, a supporting surface, on which we rest our notebooks?), but I don't think I have a "folder.

Hell, I will never figure it out.

Thanks, anyway,
Tom

21. We know you have a computer....
That much is clear!

I'll have to look you up next time I come through Marin....don't you have a studio or something, or am I thinking of a different denizen I know of there?

40. Thank you NYC_SKP! I've always wanted to know that myself!
Here's my first try:
View of the Blue Ridge in Virginia from my family's house.
And now it really is the BLUE Ridge!!!!

16. I hope it is only looks
and not voice. That voice could deflate an 18 year old's hard on :)

17. No, she talks husky, kinda like Lauren Bacall. But....
she's got the fingernails-on-the-blackboard down, pretty good.

Hilarious.

But it leaves me unable to tune my guitar by ear.

2. She will just retreat to the Igloo.
An un-coached presser would be a disaster.

10. Damn, Andy, ya kill me, Ya knowh?
Your Klansman on Fire pic brought down the House, a few months ago.

Could you PM a link to your site? That is one of the most joyful photographic sites I have ever seen.

Thanks, Andy,
Tom

20. I put a bunch of them on my DU journal page
http://journals.democraticunderground.com/AndyTiedye

The Klansman on fire isn't mine, I just grabbed it when it showed up here
and rehosted it when the original link went bad.

8. Why do you say that?
I directly witnessed Cindy McCain having a manicure to fix them talons this morning. Sarah is in no immediate danger.

Except from the blazing howling robot eyes of death. Those might get her.

24. Reporters on Fox news are saying that she didn't know Africa was a continent!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWZHTJsR4Bc

There are forces in the Republican party right now actively working to take her down.

She'll have to start beating them back to stay relevant.

13. She doesn't have the McCain campaign to hide behind, or to hold her back
and I can't wait to hear the "brilliance" she comes up with on her own.

I hope she does LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS of interviews with major news networks all over the country!!

hehehe!!!!!

23. If the pubbies engage in intraparty bloodletting it will just distract them from really
figuring out what happened amd making the necessary adjustments before 2010.

demand.

30. she's DONE. Finished. You know that the ppl running the McC campaign are going to laugh last.

her career is over. i hope that they eviscerate her.

38. The long knives are out all over the GOP.
It seems like they can't open their mouths without stabbing each other in the back or shooting themselves in the foot. It's a beautiful thing.

39. OxyRush had all kinds of fun poking fun at the dem infighting during the primaries
Even going so far as to call it "The unCivil War". Well, I'm thinking that over the next 4 years we're going to see a power struggle in the republican party that will make the dem primaries look like a steamy make-out session. I think it will be the fiscally conservative, socially moderate wing of the party headed by Romney, vs the fundie wing headed by Palin. All I can say is please pass the :popcorn:
