Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

Some members of the McCain campaign are hoping for a pre-election wedding in Alaska between Bristol Palin, 17, and Levi Johnston, 18, the father of her baby. "It would be fantastic," a McCain insider told the Sunday Times. "You would have every TV camera there. The entire country would be watching. It would shut down the race for a week."

So, what they are thinking is that they need a gimmick to win the election because McSame can't win it any other way? Pathetic.

Sad.

This exactly the type of junk you would expect from the McCain Camp while we are in the middle of a crises. Take your pick...economic crisis, War (which one?), etc. McCain is praying for Americans to be as dumb as he is.

Just what we need in time for the holidays

"A Very Special Redneck Wedding" Sponsored by Hallmark.

Hehehehe..... liberal spin.... I just love it.... trying to demean every little move of people they loathe.


I heard she was gonna wear her 'catch-me-fuck-me' pumps and he would be respendent in his 'good' t-shirt that says, 'Freebird'.

The had to vote against the ring-bearer that they wanted, since he showed remarkably good taste for a 6 yr old alaskan by instinctively knowing that he didn't want a mullet, not even for long enough to do the wedding.

The couple plans to spend the honeymoon in their daddy's sisters ex-husbands spare bedroom in the sunrise trailor park.

It should rival the wedding of Princess Di and Charles as far as punk and circumscisions are concerned.

TAKITEZ....Can you be more fucking stupid, if this is true how Pathetic, you must be one of the 18% that still back this Administration, that my ASSHOLE friend makes you a fringe DICKHEAD!!!

FREE LEVI!

America's political prisoner.

Run Levi, run!

Dickhead Cheney,his daughter and daughter in law are going to be there for the 21 shotgun salute.

I hear Luke and Laura are up in arms over this......

I guess a wedding will make the whole country forget their destroyed investment and retirement portfolios.

Hehehehe..... liberal spin.... I just love it.... trying to demean every little move of people they loathe.

"Liberal spin?" It was stated by a McCain campaign insider you moron. The only people being demeaning is the McCain campaign with their attempt to demean the intelligence of the American people. Luckily for them, and unfortunately for the rest of us, it seems to already be working on complete idiots like yourself. Don't pay attention to the issues! Look over here at this wedding of a pregnant teen! Isn't she cute? McCain 08!

Absolutely pathetic.

Yes, there's lots of spin, from both sides, and yes, I do despise the Republican party and its lumpen comrades for many reasons, the insulting pick of Palin being just one of many insults against our great country --
Using God and faith as a talking point in order to demonize.
The stealing of an election
Allowing Osama Bin Laden to get away so he could be used as a boogie man to wag the dog.
Accusing those who questioned and opposed the pathetic fumble of a war in Iraq of treason
The needless loss of life -- American and Iraqi -- in Ira.q
Sean Hannity's chin
The cutting of taxes during war time.
The squandering of a surplus
The grab of freedoms in the name of freedom.
Freedom Fries!
John Boehner's tears.
The entire McCain campaign.
The ruination of our economy.
The bullshit about taxes -- hey, repub policies have raised them. Big fuck you to all of us.
Torture.
Lying about torture.
Admitting to torture.
Making grunts take the fall for torture policy.
Trying to push through a bill that would protect the wall streeters that fucked us.
The lie that is GW.
The failure presented as a moral, regular guy that is GW
Having crap celebrities as endorsers.
Having crap music at their crap gatherings.
Katrina (of course)
Karl Rove's crap impersonation of a human being.
Trying to place blame for the crap we're in on minorities.
Simply being a grouping of traitorous fuck-wads who'd be smote
immediately if Jesus ever found the gumption to give a shit and come on back.

No shit!

Hockey boy is no doubt quite unhappy. A little teenage groping and poking was probably pretty cool, what with the daughter of the Guv. Muchos machismo points scored with the boys. And then: WHAM!! Thrust into the international spotlight. I'd be willing to bet that he has been commanded to marry that girl.

Unless Hockey Boy does a Jerimiah Johnson into the Alaskan outback, there ain't nowhere to run, poor bastard.

Bets on how long the marriage will last?

**** McCain Camp Hopes for Palin Wedding ****

......why didn't McCain just run with Britteny Spears or Lindsay Lohan ?.......

So fucking sad.

Palin Family goes Wedding Shopping

They would've gotten married at 17 anyway, baby or no baby.

What was that quote about children from the father-to-be's Facebook page? "Hell no, no children for me, I'm a fucking redneck!"

Have a nice life, kids.

Poor kid. Can You imagine if God forbid McCain wins. There won't be ANY peace in this Rednecks life.

Larry

What a sad, pathetic group of rednecks......
They are ALL idiots to begin with-takesituptheass is worse than all of them-he's a willing participant.

Why doesn't Mary Cheney do Levi a favor and marry Bristol?

I don't believe it--

One--there won't be any cameras there.

Does this reporter really think that?

More BS from the left.

I wonder if they can get CMT's "My Big Redneck Wedding" to host it. Tom Arnold can preside over the ceremony, the beer can arch would be huge, and they could have mud bog races.

Bets on how long the marriage will last?

Longer than a McSame presidency. Then again, the sex lasted longer than a McSame presidency would have.

Maybe Sarah can dump Todd and double up with her lover? Now that would get media attention.

Ummmmmm what is a mud bog race??

Oh geeze, now McCain's camp wants to capitalize on an 18 year old boy forced into a shotgun wedding with his pregnant 17 year old girlfriend simply for more publicity? Is there anything McDramaQueen won't do to get more attention for himself and his VP to be?

Leave these two kids alone. These teenageres already have enough going against them having to get married and raise a baby when they are almost children themselves. Is McCain and Sarah! really willing to that to these kids -- make their shotgun wedding the center of attention of the nation all for the sake of some cheap publicity?

These kids should have a quiet wedding with only family and friends present. Face it, it's not going to be the blushing bride all dressed in white.

And the Republicans wonder why Sarah! gets so much negative attention and whine and complain when she does. Leave her kids alone and tell Sarah! and McCain to stop shoving them into the public eye.

"They are almost children themselves...."

They are children. Pregnant teenagers are disasters to themselves and to their families. I feel sorry for her. The chances of her (still theoretical) marriage lasting more than two years is nil.

Is McCain and Sarah! really willing to that to these kids -- make their shotgun wedding the center of attention of the nation all for the sake of some cheap publicity?

Chris - I agree, it sort of gives you a tiny window into Palin's soul that she would even go along with this. If she does, If she doesn't good on her for sticking up for her family. If she does, then she has outdone Jerry Springer's guests for Worst Mother in the World award.

Unless Hockey Boy does a Jerimiah Johnson into the Alaskan outback,. there ain't nowhere to run, poor bastard.

Are you kidding me dude? He is in like flint. They offered him a job at the oil field, a new hemi AND a case of beer.

the negotiator was obviously a master craftsman. He leaned in to the boy and said (wink wink)' i don't think you understand your position. anytime she won't put out, just threaten to walk. or call the president.'

every man has his breaking point. plus she's easy on the eye too.

I guess what i'm trying to say can only be said by harry chapin - taxi.

And she handed me twenty dollars,
For a two fifty fare, she said
"Harry, keep the change."
Well another man might have been angry,
And another man might have been hurt,
But another man never would have let her go...
I stashed the bill in my shirt.

Lipz--->wiping tears.

From what I've seen of that crowd-yes-they'll go for it. They don't give a damn about anything but personal power and aggrandizement.

The muckluck moosellini(moosiah) is nothing but Trailer trash-that's why McSame is soooo hot-to-trot for her.

Of course, you just believe the crap in your own head. It was NOT the reporter who made the comment about cameras being there, it was the McCain aid. Spin it all you want but these two are truly pathetic. Their motto should be
"Bullshit First"


Of course the Palinological Society needs to go along with a marriage of true love among the yougins. it is not inconvenient that she is already knocked up, and they need to do it soon before she starts showing.

who knows, the kids may learn to love each other. and everybody would have to be happy about that. we'll see what happens after they realize the meaning of being married.

I do believe it is a family matter. I don't believe that it will escape the attention of the media either.

Us independents and liberals need to try to be nice on this deal. we should glorify it from the highest hills. looking at it objectively, aside from the fact that hitler is her mother, her and her situation are related to ideals we all have strong feelings about. and wouldn't it piss off her mother for liberals to champion her?

I personally think it is a beam of new life in an otherwise bleak new cycle. I love new love, don't you?

Not a whit of sympathy for Levi. There *are* Palin supporters out there. Pentecostals, if no one else. Make no bones, she will run for President some day. Dan Quayle did it, Ollie North did it, John Edwards did it. Palin will. And, as sure as that, some conservative thinktank will be giving Levi a low-six-figure salary for making coffee, staying out of the police blotter, and playing the part of "any 17-year-old parents can make it just fine in supply-side America!"

Compared to his other prospects in life, I'd hitch myself to that crazy ride any day.

FREE LEVI!

America's political prisoner.

Run Levi, run!

Demeaning?

We're simply pointing out the absurdity of this 'Marriage will get us votes' strategy.

Great, Failin Palin is going to force her daughter into a doomed marriage to help her own career. Sounds like a woman who really cares.....about herself.

Expect to hear of another 'runaway bride' before the elections.

Friends who have nothing better to do than go to Levi's web site tell me that the kid says he'll have no part of a shotgun wedding. Leading to the not unpleasant notion that either this 18-year-old don't-fuck-with-me redneck will shortly be mistaken for a moose, or will wind up in a far more dangerous neighborhood of Baghdad than the uniformed Palin heir. herm

The rumor is that the wedding could be as early as this Thursday, October 2nd.

OCU

Friends don't let friends vote Republican.

If the McCain camp really feels this way then I'm sure they have no problem having Bristol's unplanned pregnancy as part of the public discussion. Let's get a few questions about her at the VP debate.

Typical republican nonsense, lets get these two kids to marry, that will solve all of their problems.

MONEYWAR

You forgot to put LOL at the end of your post. I'm going to assume you meant to.

How do we know "these two kids" still love each other? Teenagers drift in and out of love on a daily basis and Levi didn't look very happy the last time we saw him on camera.

Sort of like a moose caught in the headlights.

I say don't rush into anything. McCain's going to lose the election, Sarah will go back to Alaska and the media attention will be non-existant.

Then maybe these two teenagers will get some breathing room and make a decision without the pressure.

In comparison, Mr. O's family is a big supporter of marriage. So much so that his father was still married when he married O's mother, and then he went back to Africa and married some more before dying a drunk in a car crash. His mother was a hippie atheist who tossed him to his grandparents to raise when it was inconvenient for her. O's a self-confessed "pothead" and cocaine user. While he rakes in the millions, he lets his half-brother live in abject poverty. And you people talk about trash?

"Hehehehe..... liberal spin.... I just love it.... trying to demean every little move of people they loathe."

Takitez:

I seriously doubt that any of us libs could demean Miz Mooseohlini any more than she has demeaned herself. She has chosen a run for Veep over being at home with a special-needs child at his most vulnerable stage. Her daughter is knocked up. She has evidently had an affair, in clear contravention of the principles she espouses. She has stonewalled an investigation into Troopergate. She has blown both of her interviews with the mainstream network media. Her associations with her family and church are straight out of Twin Peaks - a secessionist hubby, "pray the gay away" movements in her church, you name it.

When are you guys gonna get it - this woman is a train wreck. I keep hearing her compared to Dan Quayle. Well, Mr. P-O-T-A-T-O-E Head was a veritable Einstein and a pillar of rectitude compared to Caribou Barbie.

I only hope that one day the decent people in the Republican Party regain control of its affairs and agenda. Idiots like Palin are only making it a worse laughingstock than it has been under Bush. That would hardly seem possible, but it's happening.

Man.

Let's see.

I live in the woods. I work in a welding shop. I drive an old truck. I have 2 shotguns and a rifle. Used to have a dog. I must be a redneck.

So why am I not voting for McCain?

Oh that's right...

Ain't it funny that a term used to describe bigotry and lack of education is being tossed about by you people in your own bigotry.

That said...this article is exactly the reason that our electoral process has become a joke. It's a laughing stock. I bet Mexico and Russia giggle quietly when our "dignitaries" pass them in the halls of the UN.

Here's an idea. Focus on the issues and forget this petty shit. You're doing exactly what the McCain camp wants by even talking about it. You're helping it grow legs. Next thing you know, the media will be talking about Bristol Palin's dress and how it's white and why that's just fucking hilarious.

It just doesn't look right when you're trying to make your point.

I'll use it if I like. An English professor, in college, once told me I could use any word in the dictionary in my papers.

So I occasionally dropped an "ain't" in there.

Lack of refinement or sophistication is not the same as a lack of education. Look at Zatoichi as a prime example. All that education and knowledge. Not one lick of sense.

Besides. If Celisary can get away with using "an" instead of "and", I can get away with the occasional use of "ain't"

But Larry, you've stopped eating ice cream and you've dropped all those pounds. Surely you'll be there with me! It might be just you and me, but we'll go out like a team.

Seriously though. A Revolution? No. I don't think there will be a revolution. We, with the guidance of liberals and conservatives, will fall. Plain and simple. A look back at anthropological history shows that societies rise and fall. Whether by their own hand or that of some outside force.

We might still be the United States of America, but the world that awaits us will be very different from the world we live in now. The comical thing about it is that none of the folks we have elected as representatives seems to be a big history buff, so they continually make the same mistakes over and over and over.

It's like reincarnation and they can't seem to learn from the mistakes of their past lives.

Now compare that to the Mukluk Messiah, Sara 'Failin' Palin and her children. Psssst.....she is responsible for naming them Tricky, Trip and Trollop.

If that kid is being roped into a wedding, he's the dumbest SOB of all time. If he wants out, all he has to do is threaten to go to the press. Sure, he might have to leave Alaska if Palin ends up back there as governor, but that's a small price to pay next to the alternative.

Mcsame can't leave Washington for the wedding. I mean, he's got to be leading his Party against the biggest threat since WW2, right?

Or would a redneck (the bulging bride wore a white Junior eranheart shirt and the groom a black Jimmy Johnson hoodie)wedding be more important?

The McCain Camp basically admits that they don't want anyone looking too hard at their candidate and that they welcome a distraction like a shotgun wedding in Wassilla's local Wal-Mart?

I brought up Obama's family for the sake of COMPARISON. Comparison to the glee you guys have making fun of the Palin family. As you can see, you have to dig into lies and fantasy to come up with anything truly trashy, but with your candidate, the trash is right there, in his "memoirs".

And funny that you should mention his "funny sounding name". Barack DID have plenty of choice in the matter. He CHANGED his name from Barry to Barack after a visit to Pakistan, where apparently he got to appreciate his Muslim roots. That's enough for me to say "no thanks".

Karl Rove couldn't have written a better scenario. I mean ... this one beats even "Wag The Dog" in showing how smoke screens for presidential shenanigans aare made.

The Grand Old Party has led us into an economic meltdown that dwarfs 1929. Having spent our last buck and then some on a futile war to enrich Halliburton and Big Oil, it now wants to borrow hundreds of billions more from our grandkids to enlarge corporate CEOs' mansions in the Bahamas.

#76 | Posted by johnjkavanagh at 2008-09-30 04:33 PM

Perhaps the Wasilla Wal-Mart will be more appropriate since Sarah Palin is already familiar with the 'Bridal Services' offered there.

From the Anchorage Daily News, 8/28/99:

Palin Presided Over a Wedding at a Walmart. He worked in the pets department. She was a cashier. A romance blossomed. And when it came time to say I do,'' they chose where else? an aisle next to menswear. Sandwiched between racks of cotton pants and surrounded by Back-to-School Specials'' signs, Jake McCowan and Rosalyn Ryan exchanged vows last week at the place where they met, work and fell in love: the Wasilla Wal-Mart. A crowd of 200, including passengers from a tour bus and several dozen curious shoppers, watched the two employees tie the knot in an afternoon ceremony officiated by Wasilla Mayor Sarah Palin. It was so sweet,'' said Palin, who fought back tears during the nuptials. "It was so Wasilla."
