Number 10.....

by Palin Operatives

Caribou Barbie's people fabricated it?

Politico didn't screw things up on their own?

Now I have to go read the whole thing.

the right wingers are all flocking there for dinner tonight in support of them pulling ads from Letterman.

I wonder what their goal was?

Knockdown, Drag out Queen Novicky 621/2009


Well she spent all our money on airplanes and clothes

Wardrobes and makeup and pompous old shows

She’s been dragging her kids through thousands of towns

And she’s miffed at McCain for letting her down

So it’s out with the Letters of each baseball suit

She’s found a banana to shake and to toot

I’ll plant me a Willow I’ve got lots of mud

And a liberal named Dave will be nipped in the bud

I’ll Rush out O’Reilly who packs a real punch

And Hannity’s Irish he fights I’ve a hunch

No stopping her now for she’s going the distance

Well I’ve heard that she’s taking some lessons in diction

She may even get pregnant if she thinks it will spin

It’s not only her daughters that know how to sin

Now I think it’s appropriate, politically correct

We all Pal-in comparison when she arrives in her jet.

rag Politico.

The story is out there that if one criticizes the right wing nuts one loses advertisers.

The retraction of the lie will get almost no play.

Maybe next time Politico won't be considered an unimpeachable source when it's really just fancy dress Drudge.

:D

I still won't eat there...

Fazzoli's

and R.

"We apologize that Mr. Letterman's mistake, which was not consistent with our standards and values, left you with a bad impression of Olive Garden," wrote Sherri Bruen, the company's guest relations manager.

Hallelujah!

Now, I'd better spend those things before something else happens.

:yoiks:

I wish folks would quit posting garbage from that site. Dumbs us all down.

But then, folks like watching Fox "news," etc., and then coming here to bitch about it. Go figure.
