Thank You Sara Palin – Queen of the Tea Bags!
IYFR Contributor Andy
Sarah Palin has that magic touch. Three of the four candidates she endorsed in Tuesday’s Republican primary elections were victorious: California’s Carly Fiorina v Barbara Boxer; South Carolina gubernatorial candidate Nikki Haley v Terry Branstad – and others so not worth mentioning. But just as John McCain learned in 2008, these victors will discover in November that Palin’s magic is like Cinderella’s carriage: Just when the party’s getting hot it’s pumpkin time.
Somehow, somewhere, someone ordained Palin the new head of the GOP, with special Tea Bag honors, and a crown, and have deluded themselves into believing that who and what she touches today will mystically turn into November 2nd gold. Truth is, it’ll be just the opposite. She’s gonna single-handedly bring down the GOP’s chances of winning back power. Just ask ole Johnny Boy.
Case in point Nevada, where Tea Bag Party darling Sharron Angle won the GOP’s nomination and will take on the once highly vulnerable Majority Leader Harry Reid. Angle, widely believed to be the weakest of the three Republicans who vied for the spot, just handed Reid a gift; his best chance yet to retain his Senate seat. Reid’s campaign, in an email Wednesday, is already painting her as the radical Lipton Loon she is: She wants to repeal health care reform; is against financial reform; seeks to cut Social Security benefits; and scoffs at global warming. Thank you Sarah Palin.
Over in South Carolina, Palin is betting that voters want to trade in their outgoing philandering Gov. Mark Sanford with the allegedly twice philandering Haley. Again I say, Thank You Sarah Palin.
Sarah and The Tea Baggers can crow all they want, and the mainstream media can stir this hyperbolic pot and make her out to be the Great Anointer, but her arctic awesomeness will last only as long as the primaries will allow. This is exhibition baseball folks, not the regular season. Just ask ole Johnny McMaverick. He got a firsthand dose of reality in terms of what mainstream Republicans and independents want. And…um….er….it wasn’t Palin’s brand of dim-witted, snarky, polarizing politics.
On the morning of November 3rd, Democrats across the country will be saying Thank You Sarah Palin. They might even toss in a heartfelt gracias as well to Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity, Newt, Bachmann and the inimitable tea-totin’ team of Rand and Ron.
IYFR: Thanks Andy!!
Wall Street Reform: 8 Republicans Might Break Ranks
The Republican rhetoric sounded tough on financial regulatory reform early this week.
“Shame on the president,” said Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.), who complained that President Barack Obama was derailing bipartisan negotiations on Wall Street reform for short-term political gain.
But behind such tough talk is a realization within Republican ranks that several of their own may find themselves voting with Obama when the final Wall Street reform deal comes together. “Some feel like you need to vote for it, just because it’s a popular measure,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).
What’s striking about the potential GOP “yes” votes is how they differ from the usual suspects who were the focus of such heated speculation during the health care debate.
In addition to such perennial GOP maybes as Graham and Sens. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe of Maine, lobbyists are also talking about Republican senators closer to the core of the party who might side with Obama, including Bob Bennett of Utah and perhaps even John McCain of Arizona.
Call them the unusual suspects.
Democrats need at least one GOP vote, and the speculation is intensifying as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) says he wants to bring the bill to the Senate floor as early as next week. But one Republican financial lobbyist predicts a domino effect if Republicans get on board: “If one goes, 20 will go. It will be ‘open the floodgates.’”
Here are the eight senators Wall Street is watching most closely:

And Another Pile of Palin: Retards & Cliff Notes
Sara Palin’s infinte wisdom on the word “retarded”
“The Obama Administration’s Chief of Staff scolded participants, calling them, “F—ing retarded,” according to several participants, as reported in the Wall Street Journal.
“Just as we’d be appalled if any public figure of Rahm’s stature ever used the “N-word” or other such inappropriate language, Rahm’s slur on all God’s children with cognitive and developmental disabilities – and the people who love them – is unacceptable, and it’s heartbreaking.
A patriot in North Andover, Massachusetts, notified me of Rahm’s “retarded” slam. I join this gentleman, who is the father of a beautiful child born with Down Syndrome, in asking why the Special Olympics, National Down Syndrome Society and other groups condemning Rahm’s degrading scolding have been completely ignored by the White House. No comment from his boss, the president?”
After being goaded by commentators that Limbaugh says retareded all the time, she had her spokesperson offer a lame response ”Rahm’s is demeaning name calling,” never mentioning Limbaugh — and sources says she ordered her spokespers to phone Rush to assure him she hadn’t used his name. Then, in interview with FOX that aired this morning, Palin defended Limbaugh’s use of “retards” as “satire.” Cough … BLOW JOB … COUGH!
Check out her Facebook page. She’s taking a beating from her supporters.
And at the TeaBagging Party … well the above picture speaks for itself.
Where was Gump’s outrage when she learned John McCain cheated on his first wife Carol – who raised his children – and had Ross Perot pick up Carol’s tab?
Gotta love the party of family values … fake outrage and cliff notes.
Can you spell deceive, lie and cheat?
