KOEB Meeting 9/4/08 Come On, One Speech From Gramps And It's Over Edition

[Berry Cool]

:hi: Keith's been on almost an hour, and no one other than me has started a thread yet???

Come on, I know that even Keith is afraid of the Pitbull's presidential potential in the future, but sheesh.

Don't leave me to suffer this alone. It's going to be painful enough.

[Botany]

1. Caribou Barbie will not answer questions from the press

http://www.time-blog.com/swampland/2008/09/no_questions...

According to Nicole Wallace of the McCain campaign, the American people don't care whether Sarah Palin can answer specific questions about foreign and domestic policy. According to Wallace -- in an appearance I did with her this morning on Joe Scarborough's show -- the American people will learn all they need to know (and all they deserve to know) from Palin's scripted speeches and choreographed appearances on the campaign trail and in campaign ads.

[Patsy Stone]

7. It makes perfect sense

they only have to keep her under wraps for 60 days. Not that the media won't bitch, but they've already stemmed that by whipping the mouth-breathing base up into a frenzy about the eeeee-vul libural meeedia, and the horror a Harvard education casts upon the Earth.

Honestly, the scripted speeches and the few times they drag her out will be enough. I can't really believe that she attracted a lot of Independents and/or moderates with that hateful diatribe. A hateful diatribe complete with wagging finger, may I add. That's just going to energize the base that was staying home before the beauty queen arrived and showed some leg.

Speaking of which, IIRC, there was some fine line the MSM decided a woman had to walk between being too much of a harpie bitch and too much of a dripping breast. Hillary was always in danger of crossing Chris' shrill line or Joe's Mommy line. So, Sarah passed this test with those dulcet tones and open, yet strong arms, did she? Such bullshit. Fuck the media.

Also: SNL is back September 13th. I see Amy Poehler as Hillary kicking the shit out of Tina Fey as Mrs. Todd Palin.

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

10. "Dulcet tones"...ROFL!

Does she or does she not have the most awful voice ever????

And I can't wait for Tina Fey to come back to SNL and duke it out with Amy Poehler.

[SharonRB]

12. Amy left the show n/t

[Patsy Stone]

13. Damn!

I demand she return for a special engagement.

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

21. We've been wanting Tina to,

why not Amy???

Yeah, I know, leave your job and then come right back...

[Berry Cool]

8. And we thought * was a substance-free candidate.

Caribou Barbie makes him look like a statesman.

They're going to give us the mushroom treatment...keep us in the dark and feed us shit...in order to protect their newly minted "rock star" from having to actually do or say anything that will tarnish her bright shiny objectness and her halo of overnight sensationism.

They weren't energizing the base with the grumpy old men they put up as candidates this time out...not even with Gramps. She is far outshining him with their diehard loyalists. What gives me strength is my firm belief that their loyalists have dwindled to a mere handful...and they're all in the Xcel Center tonight.

[Patsy Stone]

2. Watching the Redskins

losing to the Giants.

:hi:

[Botany]

3. Can I come over? You know that you are my Fav???

BTW is Mr. Stone there? :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

11. Nope

he's on the way home -- with Taco Bell. :)

I'd be enjoying it a lot more if Redskins were doing better.

[Botany]

16. But I am making home made mexican tonight

fresh tomatoes, peppers (red, green, & haberno) Cilantro, salsa and green onions ... all fresh

the beans (red, black, and refries) and sausage are from the store

don't think it would travel well :rofl:

BTW Redskins and tackling .... not so much

Say hi to Mr. Stone for me.

[Patsy Stone]

25. That sounds much yummier

but it's too late, I've already eaten.

Hey -- it's a re-BUILDING year, k? :eyes:

[Botany]

27. Think Steph might cover this

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=222x44655

[Patsy Stone]

30. So much so

I'm not even taking that bet. :)

[Berry Cool]

42. I figure she's going to jump on one I heard today

that says lots of sex makes you live longer. Also, women who binge drink more likely to engage in unsafe sex.

That one's from the Department of No Shit Sherlock.

Oh no, here comes the Palin video. Another one to mute.

"She was born in a manger in Idaho,
Cutest lil' lassie you could ever know,
The wackjobbiest state in the land of the free,
Kilt 'er a b'ar when she was only three."

[Patsy Stone]

49. Mother, moose hunter, maverick.

No.fucking.way.

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

4. I can't blame anyone who prefers the football, really.

I have become so tired of these idiots that I now hit the mute every time one of them talks.

There's been a lot of KOOS tonight, though. :loveya:

Keith has also been a good truth-squadder. He is saving my sanity in his Obama tie.

[SharonRB]

5. I'm waiting for Obama segment on O'Lielly

I have a feeling he's going to make us sit through most of the show before it's on, though.

[ralps]

6. Hi BerryBush, Hi Everyone! I'm listening to Jeff Farias on NovaM

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Berry Cool]

9. Hi Sha-Sha and ralps!

:hi: Keith just asked the Repugs to name a media outlet, JUST ONE, that has EVER said or implied that Palin would not have time to be a vice president because of her mothering duties. Nobody ever mentions who supposedly said it, yet they are constantly railing against "the media" for it.

[Berry Cool]

14. Is anyone else creeped out by this ad for the movie "Ghost Town" with the guy saying

"Bertam Pincus keeps seeing dead people"...and you know as you listen to it that the announcer speaking those words is now dead himself?

It's the same thing I felt hearing those Panasonic ads with Brad Delp of Boston singing "All I want is to have my peace of mind"...after he committed suicide.

Maybe I just think too much about this stuff, but jeez.

[Patsy Stone]

17. It stars Ricky Gervais

and I'm going to see it just because it's Ricky Gervais. The premise looks like a comedic "Sixth Sense".

Poor guy; and his GEICO commercial will be sad to see again, too.

[Berry Cool]

19. Yeah, at least he had a sense of humor about all those "In a world where..." trailer scripts.

Going to the movies won't be the same without him.

I've always wondered how the poor writer feels who has to write those things. If it were me, I'd say "Dammit, I'm going to find SOME way to not start this script with 'In a world where...'"

[RevCheesehead]

157. RIP, Don LaFontaine.

That voice will live on, like Mel Blanc's.

[SeattleGirl]

15. I'm listening to David Bender and Ron Reagan again.

They're at the convention.

[Berry Cool]

18. Hi SG!

:hi: You're probably having a better time of it than I am, listening to Tweety say neither of the candidates has positives that top his negatives. And Pat saying "the hammering on Obama at this convention has been working."

Rachel says it's not a campaign based on the issues. She hit the nail on the head. It's all about who we'd like to have a beer or a cup of coffee with. :puke:

[Berry Cool]

20. McSame has 50 minutes mapped out for his speech.

20 to 25 minutes of actual speech, 30 minutes of wild applause.

He may be done way sooner than he thinks.

Oh well, if he starts flopping all he has to do is say "Sarah Palin, isn't she great?? Did I pick a winner when they forced her on m--I mean, did I pick a winner there when I defied all the naysayers and chose her, or what???"

Oh, and we have to put up with a speech from CINDY. God help us all.

[Berry Cool]

22. I switched to Project Runway just to try to catch a Keith commercial

in which he follows us around the networks of NBC to get us to watch the coverage.

And what did I get? A commercial for Olive Garden.

The Repugs have a 9/11 victims tribute coming up. Someone get the basin.

[Berry Cool]

23. I just can't take this 9/11 stuff.

The sins they are committing in the name of these people.

[Patsy Stone]

24. I saw Brian Williams and Tom Brokaw during NBC's halftime update

and I turn back to the convention and this is what I get? Terra! Terra! Terra!

[Patsy Stone]

26. Henry Kissinger...

:boring:

[Patsy Stone]

28. You go, Keith!

Taking the RNC to task for that disgusting 9/11 stunt!

:bounce: :patriot:

[bleever]

29. Wow. I've never seen KO upset in quite that way on air.

Tremendously offended by the use of 9/11 and its victims.

Well said, sir.

[Patsy Stone]

37. "Thank God for Joe Lieberman."

He's not the only one: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x6935740

[Patsy Stone]

31. So, Joe Gibbs just finished speaking

and Lindsey Graham is about to speak and they're playing "Centerfield" by John Fogerty? :shrug:

[bleever]

32. I predict an angry statement coming from John Fogerty

for the repigs using his music.

[Patsy Stone]

33. You'll see above

I had other issues with it.

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

34. Keith just got kicked off Project Runway and is crying under his glasses.

Oh, wait... I'M WATCHING THE WRONG FUCKING KEITH!!!!!! :grr: :nuke:

Why is it that I had to change the channel when I did...and totally MISS Keith's impassioned tirade against that awful 9/11 tribute???????

Because I didn't want to SEE that awful tribute!!!!!

Oh well, at least Keith's update just came on!!!! I finally saw one!!!!!

[Berry Cool]

36. I just can't take listening to Lindsey "The Surge Worked" Graham.

I am putting most of the whole damn convention on mute tonight. Finally hit my limit.

If it wasn't for Keith I'd turn the damn thing off right now.

I don't know whether I can stand a speech from Cindy or Grampy's rise-and-fall cadences as he says "My friends" fifteen gazillion times.

[bleever]

35. Keep it up, Lindsey...

You look like a nasty shit to people outside your folks in that gym.

[Patsy Stone]

38. USA! USA! USA!

He's such a drama queen.

[bleever]

40. I've lost track of the lies at this point, but

anyone who gets a paper saw the photo of Obama and Petraeus.

[Patsy Stone]

44. Here's the hockey mom's bio

again with the theme music from Dallas in the background.

[bleever]

48. Duct tape Tom available over on the 'Span.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

50. But that would mean I would have missed Keith

saying "offered without comment, except that the first two words were mother, moose hunter..."

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

39. I did not realize St. Paul was also hosting the Bad Hairpiece Convention this week.

But between Lindsey and the likes of Tom DeLay and the Boner, they must be.

[Patsy Stone]

41. See what he did there?

He tossed the line back in Obama's face! Boo Yaa!!!! :boring:

Man, they don't even have their own ideas.

[Berry Cool]

45. The Sarah hagiography continues.

"And here's a picture of the polar bears she wants to drown"

[Patsy Stone]

46. Champion of abstinence education...

Oops.

eBay sold the jet offline. Where did the money go?

[Berry Cool]

47. The first two words in the video, says Keith:

"Mother. Moosehunter." :rofl:

[bleever]

43. Selfish request for recs:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x6936073

[Berry Cool]

51. I added a comment, bleev.

See what you think.

Edited to add: Please, everyone, jump in and add to the pun string.

[Berry Cool]

52. LOL, they're not playing Tom Ridge.

Talking over him. It's about time they talked over someone!

[Patsy Stone]

54. Absolutely!

And a video about Cindy and her fabulous wardrobe.

[Berry Cool]

56. And now comes the CINDY video!

And heavenly choirs attend the news of Cindy's birth...to a guy who cheated on his first wife, married another and had a daughter with her and forgot all about his other daughter...who is not mentioned here nor is her mother...just Cindy's mom...they have been conveniently excised from the story...it's all about little Cindy Lou...as the heavenly choirs sing on...

"She got all the attention of her father..." Now THAT is the truth!

[GigiMommy]

53. Boy, DU sure is slow tonight. Hi Everyone!

:hi: Having hard time getting in. Glad I missed the "911 exploitation video".

[Berry Cool]

95. Hi GGM!!

:hi: Sorry to be late saying hi.

[GigiMommy]

112. Hi Berry!!!

:hi:

[bleever]

55. Here's the film bio of Brewella De Vil.

[Berry Cool]

58. Grampy's first wife has also been conveniently excised from this little hagiography

as, no doubt, will her drug addiction and theft.

[Berry Cool]

59. And there she is with Mother Teresa.

You almost can't tell them apart.

[Patsy Stone]

60. Why not go right to the top?

Adopt from the best?

Oh.My.Lord.

[Patsy Stone]

57. Um... that's a handsome *married* Captain, Gary.

Whose first wife is missing from the bio? Hands?

[Berry Cool]

62. Seems to me like TWO first wives were missing from that bio.

Cindy's daddy's first wife, and her hubby's.

First rule of First Wives Club is, you don't talk about First Wives Club.

[Patsy Stone]

61. Does the woman own ONE outfit

that isn't made out of silk shantung???

[Berry Cool]

63. And now she goes for the easy applause by praising Sarah, the Pistol-Packin' Mama.

Pardon me while I :puke: as they compliment each other's hockey-momness.

[Frisbee]

67. I had no idea she was such a humanitarian...

I'm so glad she's telling us. And she brought a black person, how can you NOT love her! :puke:

[Berry Cool]

69. And finally, they drag Cindy off the stage.

I thought she was never going to quit.

[Botany]

64. OMG

What a train wreck

"the prism of it's values"

You go girl!

[Patsy Stone]

65. WHAT THE FUCK IS SHE TALKING ABOUT???

Please, is anyone here still awake? Help me.

[Botany]

73. Forgive me for being sexist

But she is like the girl you met in a bar and woke up the next to in the
morning ..... RUN!

that was a fucking train wreck!

[Patsy Stone]

79. Captain John arrives

Can you feel the electricity in the room?

Isn't Matlock on somewhere?

[bleever]

66. At least she went for pearls instead of ice tonight.

[Patsy Stone]

68. Ice on the ears

Nothing on the inside.

[Berry Cool]

70. And ice in the heart.

And now they're all waving their stupid cowboy hats back and forth to "Go Johnny go..."

Have you ever seen bigger fools in your life?

Tweety, we have NEVER been a country full of rugged individualists...that's just a myth we tell ourselves. The truth is, this country would never have survived without us all hanging together.

[Berry Cool]

75. OMG, it's the Dallas music again.

John McCain's hagiography...he's a Mama's boy.

Watch this bio skip over his first wife and family, too.

[Patsy Stone]

76. One song

Not enough $$ for two.

[Frisbee]

71. Got beer...

Gonna take a chug every time grampy says "My Friends" or refers to his being a POW. May have to take a sick day tomorrow! :beer:

[bleever]

72. Don't drink when he says "honor",

or you might not survive the night.

[bleever]

74. AGAIN with the Dallas music?

Tell me this season is all just a dream.

[Patsy Stone]

77. Juneau...

It's just getting old.

But here's Miss Ellie!

[Berry Cool]

81. Now that's funny.

I wonder if he'll ever get to talk, what with all the "JOHN-MC-CAIN" and "USA" chanting.

Maybe he DID allocate the right amount of time to crowd insanity.

[Berry Cool]

82. OMG, it's the green screen again!!!

Did they learn NOTHING from the first time? :rofl:

This green screen is a gift to the Daily Show and every YouTuber.

[Patsy Stone]

85. A green screen? Really?

Really? They chose the green screen?

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

78. Fred Thompson does a voiceover.

"When you live in a box..."

They need to have that '80s song "Living In a Box" playing.

[Frisbee]

80. What I wouldn't give...

for a teleprompter failure!

[Berry Cool]

84. They showed a "MCCAIN VOTES AGAINST VETS" guy!!!!

Too funny!

He thanks * for being on watch and allowing 9/11 to happen. Wild cheers. Let's hear it for terrible attacks!!!!!!

And let's hear it for Pickles!!!!!

*crickets*

[Berry Cool]

86. Cindy's concern "for those less than we are"

will make her a great First Lady.

Yeah, you bet. :puke:

[Patsy Stone]

96. Like Ingrid Bergman

in Murder on the Orient Express, "Zee leetil brown backvards babies."

[Frisbee]

83. He's just beggin' for

Another Stephen Colbert Green Screen Challenge!

[Botany]

87. who the fuck is behind his campaign?

talk about driving a car into a wall

[Berry Cool]

88. Is it another Code Pink invasion?

Oh my!!!!!!

[Berry Cool]

91. Every time he suggests that anyone is enduring hard times

they drown him out with "USA! USA!"

It's like they're in complete denial of reality.

[Patsy Stone]

93. Yep

and there was a guy on the balcony with an anti-war sign.

[Frisbee]

89. Go Code Pink!

[Patsy Stone]

90. USA! USA! USA! USA!

USA! USA!

[Frisbee]

92. Drill! Drill! Drill! Drill!

Drill! Drill! :)

[Patsy Stone]

98. Isn't it uplifting?

:puke:

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

97. Could you shout that a little louder, Pats!

And yell it a few more times?? I didn't pick up on it the first million times they chanted it. :rofl:

[Botany]

94. Stand on your side?

:wtf: is he talking about?

Isn't it, "Stand beside you?"

[Berry Cool]

99. "The first pork-barrel bill that comes across my desk, I will veto it and YOU WILL KNOW THEIR NAMES!

...Oh yeah, sure, Gramps. You are such a fighter and reformer. Wait till they truth-squad all this shit on you. Liar.

[Berry Cool]

100. "And when the PUNDINTS said..."

"I would rather lose an election than lose a war."

That's actually a good thing, Gramps, because...well...

[Berry Cool]

102. The ol' dentures are whistling again.

Gramps, why mention people who have kids with autism? It won't win you any points with Michael Savage.

[Frisbee]

103. Cindy told him...

if he pulls this thing out she'll buy him a new set. Maybe even in white this time.

spelling edit.

[Patsy Stone]

101. Obama already did that, Gramps.

You could go search it right now if you knew how to use a computer, you old cretin. And the Google could have helped you vet Caribou Barbie, too.

[Berry Cool]

104. Please don't try to make the Dems sound as guilty of "losing trust" as you Repigs.

You DO value power over principle...STILL...you can drape yourselves in Lincoln, Roosevelt and Reagan all you want, and wear paper Lincoln hats, but nobody is fooled outside your little arena.

[Berry Cool]

105. If I have to hear the word "KEEP" used one more time, as in "you deserve to KEEP the money you earn"

and "not have to pay taxes," I am going to vomit. Where the hell do they think the money comes from for things people could never do for themselves? The Public Works Fairy??

And now here comes the rhythmic rote "boo Obama" part. "I'll do great things...he'll suck."

"I'll give you more choices to make yourselves." Yeah, just what everyone wants...

[Berry Cool]

107. Sorry, Grampy, but I am almost fifty years old and if I lose my job,

I AM NOT GOING TO COMMUNITY COLLEGE TO RETRAIN FOR ANOTHER JOB AT A LOWER WAGE THAT YOU CLAIM YOU WILL SUPPLEMENT (HOW????? WITH NO ONE PAYING TAXES???) UNTIL I'M FINALLY EARNING AS MUCH AT MY NEW JOB AS AT MY OLD ONE!!!!!!!

Damn, this makes me furious.

[Patsy Stone]

109. No bootstraps?

:puke:

[Patsy Stone]

106. State and Local

This speech has put DH into a deep sleep.

[Berry Cool]

111. It's having the exact opposite effect on me.

It's making me fucking enraged. Does he have any clue???? Does he have any idea what the economy is really like out there??? Does he think it's just assembly-line workers with high school diplomas who are out of work??? No, you idiot! It's people with excellent educations and college degrees who can no longer find jobs (especially decently paying) jobs in this country because the Repigs are allowing corporations to offshore those jobs so someone in India is earning $10K doing the job while they sit around unemployed!!!!

These people don't NEED or WANT retraining! They have PLENTY of training! What they need is a JOB!!!! :grr:

[Frisbee]

115. You've gotta wonder...

is it possible they actually believe the crap they spew? I know their out of touch with reality, but can anyone be that clueless or are they just that truly evil (hich is my guess).

[Frisbee]

108. Somebody better slow down the teleprompter

[Berry Cool]

118. Hi, ImforGore.

:hi: Anyone who suffers this along with us deserves our thanks.

[Frisbee]

149. I just wish I'd found you guys sooner!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

110. Did he say he'll help teachers find other work?

Please, tell me I didn't just hear that -- and the rousing applause after it?

[Botany]

113. he is in deep shit

[Patsy Stone]

117. This is exhausting.

Simply exhausting.

[Botany]

131. Lying his ass off

POW story ..... a north vietnamese saved his life

if that farmer from Vietnam had not went out to save his ass even after he was trying
to kill the north Vietnamese he would be dead .... pure b.s.

p.s. my best friend as a kid had his brother killed in Vietnam Rudd, James

[Berry Cool]

114. Yes, he did.

And now he's castigating Russia for invading another country just to rape its oil.

"International lawlessness that threatens the stability of the world." Someone call Alanis, please.

[Patsy Stone]

116. Drill, baby! Drill!!!!

:puke:

[Berry Cool]

119. "I'm a POW, Senator Obama is not."

Oh, and here's his big call for unity aand bipartisanship. Not gonna go over. That one got NO applause.

"Transparency and accountability"? Bullshit.

How many times has he said "my friends"? And when is he gonna wrap it up?

[Frisbee]

120. Not before another POW story...

[Frisbee]

123. Maybe he can tell his

cross in the sand story again or his Pittsburg offensive line story again (using the LA Rams this time, just to spice things up)

[Berry Cool]

125. No, no, the Vikings.

He's in Minnesota, after all.

[Berry Cool]

121. "Oh, and did I mention? I'm a POW."

"Just wanted to make sure you didn't miss that detail."

[Berry Cool]

122. "Those men saved my life..."

"...so I could live to chase Cindy around a table despite being a married man."

[Berry Cool]

124. "A lot of guys had it rougher than I did...

...back when I was a POW...did I mention that? I was a POW, you know."

[Berry Cool]

126. "I don't think I'm a savior, like that Obama does."

"To be honest, I just wanna live in the big white house and fly in Air Force One and run everything and decide who lives and who dies."

[Berry Cool]

127. Sign: "THE MAVRICK."

Somewhere there's a teacher that needs to be helped to find a new line of work.

[Frisbee]

130. Good catch..

I must been typing when they showed that one!

[Berry Cool]

132. "STAND UP! STAND UP AND FIGHT!" Like it's a football rally. And the crowd collectively orgasms.

"Raisin' McCain"? You have GOT to be KIDDING me. :rofl:

[Frisbee]

128. Just hope he doesn't ask to fly

Air Force 1 , well at least not over a populated area.

[Berry Cool]

136. Cindy will fly it.

After all, the only way to get around Arizona, much less America, is by small private plane.

[Patsy Stone]

129. Wonkette is hilarious: "The Maverick Sun King of Sedona"

http://wonkette.com/402562/liveblogging-the-end-of-john-walnuts-mccains-address-to-outer-space#more-402562

[Berry Cool]

133. "You can get on the train or get out of the way."

Pretty much sums up their philosophy.

"A speech not without significant stumbles."

I love you, Keith.

"Working on her hands and nose"? :rofl:

Tweety: "He has worked to separate himself from this administration."

Yeah, but he failed!

[Berry Cool]

134. And now they're playing "Barracuda."

If I were Heart, I would sue.

[Frisbee]

135. Tweety is rambling about him divorcing the * admin...

But he spend the 1st 5 minutes praising them.

[Botany]

137. Tweety is about the pay check

McCain voted w/ bush 95% of the time

[Frisbee]

138. MSNBC needs to get Rachel on...

I can't take much more of this gushing about McPOW

[Berry Cool]

139. Thanks for the link.

I need all the laughs I can get.

There goes "September" again.

[Berry Cool]

140. Andrea Mitchell is drowning in balloons.

Keith is chuckling up a storm. :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

141. "Firebomb McWarpants"

Thank you, Wonkette. :rofl:

[Frisbee]

143. Everybody keeps saying...

John McCain is his own man. Was Bush consulting with him 95% of the time?

[bleever]

142. Anyone want to bet Keef's already got a Special Comment forming

in his mind over that 9/11 video?

[Frisbee]

144. I hope so...

That would be a great way to lead into Rachel's premier show.

[Frisbee]

146. May have been a local ad...

but the just showed a previw for the new Coen Bros movie, "Burn After Reading" and the tagline is "The'll take you on a journey where national security meets total stupidity". Sounds familiar.

[Berry Cool]

151. Too bad it's not true only in the movies.

[Berry Cool]

150. Good thinking!

[SeattleGirl]

145. Hi gang! Just got home about half an hour ago.

Missed Grampy's speech; was out getting my hair trimmed. Home in time for the balloon drop.

So, did he stink or just immediately put people into comas?

[Frisbee]

147. BOTH! Damn he's good! haha

[SeattleGirl]

148. Impressive!

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

152. Yep. He disowned and tried to divorce the man he's married to, George W. Bush.

Trouble is, what he doesn't realize is that a divorce from * isn't that easy to get in these parts.

[Berry Cool]

153. Oh, and Norah, this is the last thing I will say tonight before I go.

You may think and they may think that Sarah Palin is going to win over all the non-college-educated women in Ohio, but I doubt it. Some will never go for McGrampy, no matter what, and not just because they want Obama. Some are such nutjobs that Grampy's too leftist for them, and I don't know he can get them either. Unless they're such wackjobs they'd vote for him and pray for his quick death like some of the numbnuts out there who never heard of this woman a week ago but now are suddenly convinced she is the salvation of America.
