Saturday Was a Day Palin Will Never Forget.
From ProgressiveAlaska http://progressivealaska.blogspot.com/2008/11/saradise-lost-chapter-one-hundred_02.html

Saturday started out like any other Saturday for a vice presidential candidate, three days before the election, believing her ticket is closing on the opponent - with a lot of bravado. A couple of clips I watched, had her saying "the Democrat Party." Maybe she's been using that misnomer before, but it was the first time I'd heard her use it.

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin began November in Florida, trying to scare people. Twice. While the campaign was moving north to her next destination, she thought she got call from the leader of the French nation. It wasn't at 3:00 a.m. It was, however, Sarah Palin's 3:00 a.m. call.

She fucked it up. Totally.

She had to. It was part of her destiny. She believes she is the anointed one. She isn't.

About the same time, John McCain was taping Saturday night's SNL episode with Tina Fey. In the opening episode, featuring McCain and Tina Fey (as Palin), McCain lets Fey tear Palin to shreds.

Do you think Sarah Palin is capable of looking back through November First and understanding that she has become one of the biggest jokes of 21st century American political history? I take that back - the BIGGEST joke in 21st century American political history. Or that the guy the Christian right fucked over immensely in 2000 doesn't realize where his historical defeats then and now came from?

Judy and I invited the Al Jezeera English crew covering election day in Alaska, and some other friends over for dinner Saturday. I love cooking Copper River Sockeye for fact finders discovering Alaska. We had a great time.

One of the people who came up in discussion was Alaska U.S. Senator, Lisa Murkowski. The degree she is supporting Sen. Stevens in election ads is beyond troubling. It is whoring. Either she's been told that Bush actually will pardon Stevens, or she's totally clueless. Lisa - you've created your own problem. Just like Sarah.

Alaska Democrats need to find the solution. I hope we do.

1. Will * pardon Stevens on the way out of office?
That thought had't occured to me before now. I do think * would stoop that low. Why not?

3. It wouldn't surprise me in the least.
At least according to the latest polls, it looks like Mark Begich is now running away with this one, so even if Ted is pardoned, it won't do him any good as far as keeping his Senate seat. ... But I doubt that Ted will see a day in prison. Just my hunch.

I saw a wonderful graph somewhere this morning -- that I can't find now of course -- that showed Stevens' numbers in free fall and Mark up by almost 20 points. That's got to make him feel a little more comfortable three days out from the election.

2. Senator Stevens, get in line
Behind Frist, Foley, Delay, Abramoff, Hagee, Craig, et al.

Although Senator Stevens does have a better chance of receiving a pardon than some of the douchebags YET TO BE INDICTED for the crimes of the BushCo regime.

Palin discovered the hard way that hands-on, face-to-face manipulation falls flat across televisions and computer screens. She has yet to show any sign that she has actually learned anything.

6. She's a joke now and
Edited on Sun Nov-02-08 01:21 PM by caty
in four years and in eight years, with all the video we have on her, she will still be a joke. Her name will be forgotten quickly once the elections are over. Her own party has called her a cancer in their party. A mistake, a diva, a disaster, and a few other names. She's done.
