Sarah Palin, who at least is still liked by herself, slobbers on about death panels and bureaucracy in today’s WSJ. Wonkette notes that she’s “overquoting” “like” “she’s” “editing” “Zagat.” I think it helps to imagine her writing (“writing”?) this while clad in a Wal-Mart pajama set and chomping on a Crunchwrap Supreme.

I’m Unprofessional
November 5th, 2008 · No Comments · Media, Politics
But so too is every other notebook-wielding gotcha-truth-crusader out there. This, according to VP loser/former sportscaster Sarah Palin.
She can lecture us on the finer points of sourcing inside baseball and blind quotes because she used to read stuff about dogsled racing off a teleprompter. So she’s an expert in the field. OMFG, etc. Hilariousness via [...]
The Ballsy Balls of November
November 4th, 2008 · No Comments · Music, Politics
I saw this bumper sticker pasted in the back of an old Buick parked in Fort Point this afternoon. Junk in the pants = ready to lead!
(As an aside, didn’t Kellen Winslow recently prove that it’s really not the greatest thing in the world to be twice the man as anybody else? Medically speaking?)

Boo! Kill!
October 7th, 2008 · No Comments · Media, Politics
Two quick hits before tonight’s exercise in soaring rhetoric/domestic terror/loosely sourced mob agitation.
First, over the weekend, Fox devoted an hour to dredging up and re-reporting discredited Obama is a terrorist rumors. And then they did themselves one better.
They went to Andy Martin – author of those secret moooslim chain emails – and let him tell [...]
The Hill and the Hall Week in Review
October 3rd, 2008 · No Comments · Politics
(Cross-posted from Boston Daily)
Governor Deval Patrick put on his most seriousest face Thursday morning and warned everybody that his ambitious agenda, which was a bit beyond everybody’s reach to begin with, will remain even more so for the time being. That’s because of all the hot Dust Bowl action happening out there. “It’s not that [...]

Herald Outduels Godless Liberals
October 3rd, 2008 · No Comments · Media, Politics
Upon further reading of newspapers I’ll be happy to identify under questioning, I’ve decided to bestow my coveted Gold Star for Vice Presidential Debate Postmortemizing to the Herald’s Peter Gelzinis. Today’s column is savage and on-point and more cutting than Milbank. Believe it.

Of Sarah Palin, Debates, Dunkin’ Donuts, and Deadbeats
October 3rd, 2008 · No Comments · Media, Politics
It’s the morning. Which means Dunkin’s. Which means standing in a line and watching the gerbil wheels whir inside the hosts of Fox and Friends and summoning the restraint to keep from hurling cans of Red Bull at the TV.
The topic of the day was, “Response to the debate: What is the liberal elite saying?” [...]

Can I Call Ya Joe?
October 2nd, 2008 · No Comments · Politics
Half an hour ago, the Post’s Eugene Robinson called this Veep debacle “The strangest I’ve ever seen.”
“The pattern, so far, has been one of Biden presenting facts and Palin countering with… saying stuff. Sometimes she throws in a fact, but mostly she seems to be offering a string of approximate policy positions, encomiums to the [...]

Here’s How This Thing Works
October 2nd, 2008 · No Comments · Beer, Politics
Just ran to the liquor store to pick up some patriotic beer for tonight’s big airing of thoughts on politics on television. While I was there, I got some free advice on how to win money for nothing.
“When you hit the slot machine in Foxwoods, after you win one, three times, you gotta leave. While [...]

My Five Minutes with Fox
September 12th, 2008 · No Comments · Media, Politics
The TV in the Dunkin’ Donuts next door is tuned to Fox News. Always. The cashiers selling cigarettes and lottery tickets are usually watching NESN, but for the caffeine-addled masses, it’s Fox and Friends or nothing. So, for one to five minutes every day, I get to see how the other half thinks. Or doesn’t [...]
