"Can you have too much intensity?"
JOHN THUNE:....And the one thing that we need going into the fall campaign, which have had a little bit of a deficit on, is enthusiasm and intensity. And there's tremendous intensity behind this pick. And for that reason I think it was the right pick. If you want to get Republican voters to turn out in the fall you got to have that intensity, and Governor Palin certainly has created that among Republicans not only here but I think across the country.MITCHELL: Can you have too much intensity? Is there the possibility that there's just too much stuff out there, too much talk, that it's too complicated for people to think of her as a potential Commander-in-Chief?
What can I say, she inspires me. I get a little thrill up my leg.
Media worries for poor John McCain that his Veep pick is taking too much of the spotlight off him.
Media also continues in its poignant concern for the Palin kids, praying that the American electorate won't take Trig's mommy from him.
Allah says this is must-see, but I don't see which link he means. Let me know if you figure it out.
DKos, as you probably know, has deleted all it's Trig Trutherism posts. (Vid in the above link; post about it at LGF; looks like he didn't yet delete one of the diaries, but I imagine he'll get around to it now that Charles has apprised him of his oversight.)
According to a commenter (and why should I check?), Kos is claiming the smear didn't originate with him, but with "Alaska Republicans on the radio."
Ah. Yes, that's why we spent the weekend talking about it. Because we were all glued to our radios listening to Alaskan talk radio. We all got this from Rush's cousin, Slush Limbaugh, and his radio show, Slush Limbaugh's Right-Wing Agent Provocateur Gothic Fake Pregnancy Krazy Konspiracy Kavalcade & Professional Toboggan Fantasy League Report.
I just drafted Swedish tobaggon prodigy and alopecia sufferer Igmar Johanssen. Kid's got amazing rocket-powered leg-strength to launch the toboggan, and almost no wind resistance whatsoever.
I'll update this more.
BTW, some have expressed reservations about my posting Levi Johnston's pic in a below post. I get the concern, but let's be realistic here: The article is from an MSM source, and the picture is contained therein. Anyone clicking on the article will see it anyway. It's been published all over the place. The kid's about to marry the daughter of the Governor of Alaska and quite possibly the next Vice President of the United States. The left and the MSM (but I repeat myself) is determined to make teen pregnancy the central front on the war on Bush's terror.
Let's say I delete the pic. Honestly -- who am I hiding it from?
More Crisis: NYT says pregnancy "fair game;" worries terribly that Sarah Palin has chosen to expose her daughter to the vicious media scrutiny the NYT is promising; also frets, again, how Sarah "Negligent Mother" Palin can possibly juggle the responsibilities of motherhood and high office.
Honestly, the level of concern shown here for Sarah Palin, Brisol Palin, and even John McCain losing his share of national attention is quite amazing.
Kudos to the national media for finally getting it, and worrying so very, very much about the emotional well-being of Sarah Palin and John McCain.

"Can you have too much intensity?"
Yes, but I haven't seen anything even coming close to that for Palin. People have been so lukewarm for McCain for so long that actual enthusiasm for the ticket is a slightly disturbing novelty for some media types. Plus remember that the media plan was to use kid gloves on McCain and let him have a Bob Dole-like defeat-with-dignity. Sarah Palin disrupted that, so they're on to plans B and C.

Levi Johnston looks like a fuckin homo. I don't know what she sees in that asshole.
I bet he can't even type 80wpm. Homo looking guy like him prolly plays Civillization IV on easy mode. Lightweight. Pshh. What a waste.
Seriously though...

Governor Palin: I'm going to take Amtrak just like Joe from Scranton did.

Sarah is honest. She obviously told McCain about Bristol, named after the famous race track (that Bay shit is not selling in Bubba land).
So when she gets to the convention and 30,000 people are chanting SARAH SARAH, she is going to be pumped, (hope not TOO much.)
Her speech will decide the election.
Bristol BETTER come out on the stage with everyone else, maybe Levi, too?
Fuck the liberals, shove it up their ass. The American people will LOVE IT!

I think it's hysterical that the press is trying to get a process story out of it. I guess they are looking for anything that lets them say, print or post the words, "Sarah Palin's pregnant, unmarried daughter..."

Um, that's because it is a snowmobile.
A snow machine is that thing that spews out fake snow all over the garbage dump every winter so you can ski down it and pretend like it was fun and worth ruining 3 pairs of gloves taking the tow-rope back up.

I don't really buy the argument, though. McCain may well win, but I sincerely doubt it's going to be by a "landslide". It's going to be a squeaker either way, and I still think Obama's going to have to really work to lose this one. Democrats are highly-motivated this year, and that will show in the turnout come election-time. It remains to be seen if the GOP can stir up the same enthusiasm (and maintain it until November).

Posted by: nightwitch at September 02, 2008 11:03 AM (dfTf5)
As an aside, I'm astonished at the boldness of the Bristol play. The McCain camp knew about the pregnancy, knew it would come out, but didn't make it known on Friday to defuse it and clearly were not afraid of the issue. To me, that implies that this entire sub-plot was scripted by the McCain camp. Are the Democrats and the media so predictable that the campaign could have anticipated that their opponents would go over the top in such an unflattering way?
Rove retired? I think not.

That little thing on her finger (the engagement ring) and the fact that the family supports her decision will UNITE the base even more. Like I said to the people I play online game with, just because you don't understand something doesn't mean you can dismiss it out of hand. The media and KOSkids DO NOT understand their enemy. They'll rue the day.
Good thing we're not in the 18th Century anymore. Otherwise, Todd and Track Palin will have to kill a whole lot of scumbags in duels.
Posted by: BigFire at September 02, 2008 11:05 AM (Kwn4z)
I love that the same people that worry about the family example Palin has set for her daughter to end up pregnant are the same people that said it didn't matter if Clinton was having his knob polished by interns in the Oval office.

In last election, they tried to make Cheney's daughter an issue, and it backfired. Even die-hard evangelicals were outraged over the attacks on Mary Cheney. And those attacks were benign.

That's funny, because when I moved to Minnesota after having lived in Alaska, I couldn't figure out what the hell a "snow MOBILE" was. Did you hang it over your kids crib or something? I still say snow machine, screw the natives.

Is a batmobile something you hang over your kids crib?
Or did you not see that because you don't have viewing machines in Alaska?

Sawyer also bristled at how Karl Rove reportedly called Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden a big blowhard doofus, forcing McCain advisor Nicolle Wallace to confess she didnt know the precise definition of doofus. Dictionary.com offers various definitions, including an incompetent, foolish, or stupid person or a dolt, idiot, nerd.
Classic. Yes, the devil always overplays his hand. This time will be no exception. The nutroots are also slamming Palin because she attended the backwoods Univ. of Idaho and not the lofty halls of Harvard as did Obama. How many parents send their kids to state schools & community colleges versus one of the big ivy league schools? Keep insulting America you idiots.

Or its lack may be revealing. I thought that black democratic voters would support our several black republicans in the last election, they voted for old white democratic guys.
It could well be revealed that feminists are for women, as long as it seems to help the democratic party, rather than being for the democratic party to help women.

That got a laugh out of me. It reminds me of a fellow in Wyoming who made fun of us back-Easters for saying "cuy-oat-ee" instead of "cuy-oat." He'd add "-ie" to every animal's name for our benefit: moosie, bearie, bisonie, hawkie, etc.

OK, correct me if I am wrong here,
"The One's" mother gets jungle fever and has sex with an African man, who is still married in Africa. She has the baby, and this "gentleman" after a year moves back to Africa, still in question whether or not their "marriage" is legal. She leaves the country and again marries another "gentleman" from another country. After a few years she ships her son back to her parents to raise.
Just your average American family right? Nothing here to look into, right?
