Moreover, I suspect Devin posted it just because it was the most obnoxious thing he could find following the reaction to the comic posted earlier.

So how is it NOT sexist?
I don't know if its sexist or not, but I think we can all come to agreement that is sexy...

P.S. My dick is hard, does that make me a bad person?

You know what, on November 5th, if Obama wins, I'll happily apologize for any sexist statements that I may make in the course of discussion. Until then, since I hate her with flames of a thousand suns, I'll let the occasional "bitch" fly.

I dunno. I've been around here a while and contributed quite a bit of actual substance. You dropped in an image which is completely tangential to anything that has to do with politics and then make, as near as I can make it, three ad hominem attacks on me because I disagree with you.

Now, I know it's kind of your job to be a dick but you need a little better footing before you call me a troll.

Is it sexist to call someone so amoral and ignorant a bitch? I frequently call the likes of Rove and Cheney "cocksuckers" on a daily basis, is it really that off base to insult a politician who just so happens to be female? As it stand not only will I let the occasional "bitch" fly but "cunt" is going to be in heavy rotation as well, not because of her gender but because she represents everything I despise in politics today.

Mark my words (I know I sound like a broken record), if McCain is "elected" this November, he will swiftly be "exposed" for some "suddenly discovered" wrongdoing by "maverick whistleblower" Sarah Palin. This has been her M.O. throughout her political career.

Evil AND stupid. If she really wants to re-open the door on Wright (to get the elusive "I can't remember March 2008" voter), then she also opens the door on her bat-shit insane church.

Go ahead, Sarah. Bring on Wright.

In thinking back, the last time (and it was the first in quite a while) I heard someone use 'cunny' specifically was Bill The Butcher in GANGS OF NEW YORK.

(Note: Bill The Butcher, violent and vulgar bigot, should not in any way be confused with Joe The Plumber, clean pated and upstanding tradesperson.)

You've got to be fucking kidding me:

Quote:
ELIZABETHTON, Tenn. (AP) — A new father has secretly named his baby girl Sarah McCain Palin after the Republican ticket for president and vice president.

Mark Ciptak of Elizabethton put that name on the documents for the girl's birth certificate, ignoring the name Ava Grace, which he and his wife had picked earlier.

"I don't think she believes me yet," he told the Kingsport Times-News. "It's going to take some more convincing."

Ciptak, a blood bank employee for the American Red Cross, said he named his third child after John McCain and Sarah Palin to "to get the word out" about the campaign.

"I took one for the cause," he said. "I can't give a lot of financial support for the (McCain/Palin) campaign. I do have a sign up in my yard, but I can do very little."

Also, Palin appearing doesn't take away from the fact that Tina Fey's impression was probably the most significant anti-Palin message that pop culture sent out, period. I think it did about as much in driving the home the message that Palin is profoundly unfit to lead as the Couric interview did.

I have three theories/ worst case scenarios:

1. This further sanitizes Palin for general conumption, making the thought of her as VP "not so bad"

2. This gives her a "Nixon on Laugh-In" type bump in popularity this close to the election.

3. She gets booed by the live audience, which generates sympathy resulting in a bump in popularity.

How devious if the SNL writers just give her some lame material, that looks fine on paper but has no chance in the delivery, and she ends up with a simply lame sketch that garners tepid, bored chuckles.

You've got your mission, writer room. You know the levels of tedious banality the show can aspire to, you manage it most weeks. Go in there and give her a weak clunker with an over-recurring character.

Tina Fey LOATHES Palin. You think she's going to take this lying down? As far as I'm concerned, she's doing Lorne Michaels a favor being on that show. I hope she's getting big bucks for it.

When your show's played a large role in making someone a laughingstock and she wants to prove that she's got a good sense of humor about it by appearing, but you subsequently refuse, you end up looking like the asshole with no sense of humor.

There's no way Michaels could have passed this up without making the SNL cast, writers, and himself appear that they take themselves too seriously. Take heart that she comes off as wooden and unfunny in the political arena - she's going to look that much worse in the context of SNL.

If Fey appears, I'd wager that Michaels did some major begging this week.

My concerns. To. The. Letter.

As Dave points out, they're in a corner certainly. Yet I see the SNL thing as, in all honesty, a bit obvious and lame. I realize that quite a few folks here are smitten with Fey and have been championing SNL lately. Doesn't change the fact that the show hasn't been funny since my wife was born. Palin has been a watershed for them, pushing them back into the kind of cultural relevance they had decades ago.

I had the distinction(luck?, misfortune?) to meet Michaels three times in the 90s. He's shorter than he looks and less shrewd than he sounds. That said, this weeks "real" Palin visit smacks of him trying to butter his bread on both sides. If, God fucking forbid, her and McCain end up getting elected in November, it will be the best thing that could have happened to the show. You don't need to be a die-hard cynic to see that Fey would end up making a side-career out of Palin knocking.

What they'll need is some subversively clever writing on the order of Wilde to make her walk the plank unwittingly. If I were Lorne Michaels, I would be ransacking the drama directory and hunting down Chayefsky's spiritual descendants all over the city.

Also, Lorne Micahels would be nuts not to have her on, as far as ratings go. And I fully expect Fey's Palin to skewer the real-life Palin proper. If the lady can't handle a joke, she has no place sharing the same breath as Hillary Clinton, much less becoming VP.<br>

How many people are really going to say 'You know I previously had some concerns about Governor Palin's abuses of power and her stances on issues like abortion and generally found her an unlikable, dangerous despot, but after seeing her do that wacky skit with the pitbull and the lipstick, gosh darn it, she's got my vote.'



And don't say 'surprisingly many.'

Humor diffuses tension, Mitch. If people are nervous about Palin and then they see her sending up own image up on SNL, they'll think that she's at the very least aware of her own image and that goes a long way for people to think, "Well, she at least knows the issues people have about her. Maybe she won't be that bad." People tend to think the best of people, to their detriment some of the time.

But Palin REALLY IS as stupid and as banally evil as she's been made out to be, and that's why although they certainly have the right to put her on, that I wish SNL wasn't doing this and that it's a clever tactic by the McCain campaign.
