saw bill clinton on cnn and he had only good things to say about her. interesting, n'est-ce pas?
"No, she's a-- she's an instinctively effective candidate," he said, "And with a compelling story. I think it was exciting to some, that, that she was a woman. It was exciting that she was from Alaska. It was exciting that she's sort of like the person she is. And she grew up in a, came up in a political culture and a religious culture that is probably well to the right of the American center. But, she didn't basically define herself in those terms," Clinton said.
"She handled herself very well," he said, "I get why she's done so well. She, she's, it's a mistake to underestimate her. She's got good intuitive skills. They're significant."

Bubba totally wants to bone her. This is news?

As someone on huffpost put it, if I were McCain I'd hire a taster for my food, especially when she's around!
In other news, I wonder if SHE knows Zapatero is the PM of Spain. Most gay people probably do -- he pushed through gay marriage there, after all!

The Queen:
We get it. She's charismatic. Moving on. What is she going to do that will benefit us? We get it you're a fan. Now let's talk about policy.

"Bubba totally wants to bone her."
24Play:
You are so right. She's totally his type.
Posted by: sugarrhill | Sep 18, 2008 7:56:04 PM
Anyone with a vagina is his type.
Hers, however, are equipped with teeth.

"She's charismatic"
I just don't get it. Then again, I'm familiar with "the accent," being from small-town Minnesota, and I don't see sarcastic, corrupt idiots who want the state to control women's wombs as all that exciting. Maybe the queen's been sniffing her tampons.

Did she say Palin-McCain? Is she the top of the ticket now? They are SO over!
Posted by: Scott | Sep 18, 2008 8:08:05 PM
That's exactly what the cunt said.

do you suppose they'll each have food testers?

Maybe Bill is willing to bag one for the team by playing the Mata Hari card and bedding Palin (let's face it he's as much her type as she is his). Yes, he falls on his political sword, but its via Youtube, so there's a happy ending for all. Palin will be off the ticket, Hilary will stand by her man once again.
Note to the Queen: CNN reported today that there's a 2 month waiting list for La Palin's signature eyewear... though one of your minions has probably already secured a pair for you. Would you, could you, kindly provide Andy with a photo of you wearing said specs for tomorrow's post? Many of us would appreciate being able to put a face to your esteemed moniker.

Another note to the Queen: I hear a guillotine calling your name somewhere....you poor pathetic moron.
Posted by: Sebastiani | Sep 18, 2008 10:05:30 PM
No, Clinton isn't going to nail her, although he'd like to. It's going to be McCain. He has always been attracted to former beauty queens who are a couple of decades younger than he is. Watch out, Cindy. He's already cheated on one wife.
I'm sure the position of Vice-President wasn't the only position he had in mind for her. Actually, I foresee a Nelson Rockefeller end for McCain; he dies while having sex with his Vice-President. (You know she'd be on top, don't you?) He'll end up screwing Palin and the country at the same time.

What's the difference between a pit bull and a soccer mom?
You can neuter a pit bull.

She frightens me more and more. This election is becoming more and more juvenile as it goes on.
It clearly feels more like a high school student election at this point than an actual Presidential election, and in the words of Tim Gunn, "I'm worried."
Posted by: DNfromMN | Sep 19, 2008 12:46:59 AM
ENOUGH guys
Calm it down / tone it down please
Palin is the spiritual child of Jerry Falwell and Philis Shlafly. If by some miracle they actually won, she would be horrendous for America
BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is no need for some of the jokes and certain words being used here in reference to her.
"The Queen" is a sycophant of the rethuglicans, BUT there is no need to disparage "The Queen" either.
Anyway; my interpretation of what Bill said was that he gave a backhanded compliment. He was nicely saying she is a great liar.
".....came up in a political culture and a religious culture that is probably well to the right of the American center. But, she didn't basically define herself in those terms......"
Bill with all his charm basicaly said she is a profesional liar.
:-)

Let me reword the last part
Bill is basically saying she is excellent at presenting herself to america in a way that is not her background.
think about it
and again please hit her on her scandals, her lying, hit mccain, etc with a bit more tact

Sarah Palin might not be good for gay rights but at least she's honest about it. Liberals on the other hand PRETEND to like us gay/bi men. They do it so as to get our votes. We are their politically useful pity class.
Note how the liberal media - Rolling Stone magazine, People magazine - keeps ignoring or minimizing our love. We're not the "hot lesbians" or "hot bi babes", don't forget. We're not in their "cool" category.
If you want to vote for a liberal, go right ahead. But you'll be cutting your own throats.

That this woman is even being discussed, much less seriously, is downright frightening. It's like America has passed through the looking glass. Where is Swift when we need him?
Posted by: Chris Holden | Sep 19, 2008 5:52:54 AM
Jason, are you somehow laboring under the illusion that it was CONSERVATIVES who made gay marriage legal in Massachusetts? Yeah, right, liberals never did anything for us ...
Posted by: Meanwhile | Sep 19, 2008 10:12:37 AM
DEMAND AN END TO THE INSIDIOUS LIBERAL BISEXUAL DOUBLE STANDARD!
And don't be so modest, Jason. I totally think you're a hot bi babe. With a mental disorder.

Too bad she's not running with Obama so they can work together on his plan to keep gays from marrying.
Posted by: Carl | Sep 19, 2008 10:36:19 AM
Carl
Obama = civil unions
mccain campaigned against civil unions in AZ
It is that simple
