First rule of a Teaparty rally: only ONE female grifter headlines

Christine O’Donnell, well known author and not-a-witch, was scheduled to speak at the Tea Party Rally being held on Sep. 3. Yesterday, she was uninvited. Then she was re-invited.

Today Palin cancelled and / or said her plans were on hold because of, what a spokesperson told the WSJ, “continual lying” from event organizers.

Now? O’Donnell’s been re-univited.

Why? NBC News tries to confirm what seems obvious from the tail end of this timeline: That Sarah Palin doesn’t want Christine O’Donnell around:

DES MOINES — Tea Party of America President Ken Crow told NBC News, “I had to cancel Ms. O’Donnell” after a conversation with Sarah Palin aides — and is now hopeful Palin will attend the Saturday rally in Indianola.

The teaparty likes Palin at their rallies. She always brings the drama with her word-salad.

The new chastity: naked, drunk, third-base sex

Gawker took some guy’s sleazy story about the time three years ago on Halloween he hooked up with Christine O’Donnell and got to third-base with her.

The VillageVoice researched and found out anonymous guy’s identity… because everyone thinks he’s a douche — plus no one wants to know details about ANYONE’S pubic hair situation. Ever.

My opinion on the matter is much like Ryking’s here (and below), which is that there are many forms of sex besides vaginal intercourse.  O’Donnell has used her ‘morality’ — the idea she is a chaste virgin — to appeal to the religious-right.

And she is a hypocrite.

How the world views the Tea Party: The Horror and the Pity

“Thanks to outsized personalities like Sarah Palin and Christine O’Donnell — as well as recent controversies over immigration and Islam — this year’s midterm elections have attracted more international attention than usual. But as this survey of the foreign press shows, each country seems to have its own unique take on America’s anti-incumbent movement.”

The Horror, The Horror… and the Pity: How the international media is covering the Tea Party.

- Not surprisingly, like a majority of Americans, the media in other countries describe the Tea partiers as … insane in so many words: bigoted, Quran-burning extremists, polarizing, an embarrassment and threat to the U.S., angry conspiracy-theorists, and the “Party of No” are just some of the descriptions that have been used internationally.

But the best description comes from an Argentinian correspondent who was dispatched to cover Palin-approved, Tea Party endorsed Christine O’Donnell. The correspondent wanted to “figure out how someone who is “uneducated, unemployed, having a history of tax evasion, who used to practice witchcraft when she was young, who militantly fought masturbation, and who now defends creationism, could unseat the incumbent Republican.

And, maybe also not a big surprise, Germany seems to be fully on-board with the Tea Party and Herr Beck.

Meghan McCain knows nutjobs!

“…I give her credit for saying something that no one else in the Republican Party will say: Christine O’Donnell is a nutjob. It’s not that they don’t believe it, because the NRSC won’t help her campaign, an indication they don’t consider her electable.

But Meghan knows nutjobs. Because Meghan’s dad brought to national attention the original model: Sarah Palin. And for Meghan to opine on the vacuousness of Christine O’Donnell without acknowledging that trail was blazed by her father’s running mate is disingenuous and laughable.

GOP orgs raking cash in from donors such as Murdoch, Koch, Perry and Adelson

In June, Fox News’ parent company News Corporation gave a $1 million donation to the Republican Governors Association. This evening, IRS disclosures reveal that News Corporation gave another check, time for $250,000, bringing his total donation amount to $1,250,000. Other donors include Bill Koch, who donated $100,000, Swift Boat-funder Bob Perry, who gave $3.5 million, and right-wing casino billionaire Sheldon Adelson, who gave $1 million to the Republican campaign group.

Bill Maher: New Rule 10/15/2010

I’ll be looking for the video of this segment. In the meantime [emphasis added]:

New Rule: If a Woman Rejects Your First Dozen Advances, Don’t Send Her a Picture of Your Penis

New Rule: If a woman rejects your first dozen advances, don’t up the ante by sending her a picture of your penis. This week, we found out that Vikings quarterback Brett Favre allegedly tried to get with a young woman by sending her MySpace messages, voicemails, and notes through a friend, and when none of that worked, and it was third and long — though, not as long as most of us would have imagined — he decided to throw the Hail Mary and sext her pictures of Little Brett to close the deal. Brett, I get it: Your dictionary doesn’t include the word “quit” or “retire” or “married” but you’ve got to at least understand “punt.” You know the worst part about having sex with Brett Favre? He keeps saying he’s finished, and then he comes back to drag it out for another year.

To me, this story isn’t about sports or sex or how necessary caller ID is — it’s about how pathetic and clueless white American males have become. Because the kind of guy who thinks there are women out there who just, cold, want to see your cock, is the same kind of guy who thinks Sarah Palin is swell and tax cuts pay for themselves. I will explain that connection further, but first let’s just dwell for one more moment on how stupid it is to forget that in 2010 when you text someone a picture of your genitals, you’re not just sending it to that person, but to every person she has in her contacts… and then everyone on the planet who has access to the Internet. Somewhere right now there’s a tribesman in Samoa thinking, “Brett Favre is texting a picture of his dick to a woman? That shit never works.”

And he’s right — no woman in the history of mankind has ever wanted to see a picture of a penis. Go back to the earliest cave paintings. The very first one is of a cock, and after that they’re all antelopes and sunrises. But for some reason men persist. Why? Because men have always been in charge, especially white men. Brett Favre is like a lot of white males: he’s owned the world for so long, he’s going a little crazy now that he doesn’t. Also, like many white men across the country, he lost his job to a Mexican, (i.e. Jets Quarterback Mark Sanchez).

If Brett Favre’s penis could talk, what would it say? Well, other than, “No photos please,” I think it would say, “I’m not a witch. I’m you.” Because for hundreds of years white penises were America. White penises founded America, they made the rules and they called the shots in the workplace, in the home, and at the ballot box. But now the unthinkable is happening. White penises are becoming the minority: 2010 was the first year in which more minority babies were born in the U.S. than white babies. This is what conservatives are really upset about — that the president is black, and the best golfer is black, and the Secretary of State is a woman, and suddenly this country is way off track and needs some serious ‘restoring.’ If penises could cry — and I believe they can — then white penises are crying all over America.

And that’s where this crew comes in; Sarah Palin, Christine O’Donnell, Michele Bachmann; the lovely MILFs of the new right. And their little secret is that their popularity comes exclusively from white men. Look at the polling: minorities hate them, women hate them — only white men like them. I’m no psychiatrist, but I do own a couch, and my theory is that these women represent something those men miss dearly: the traditional, idiot housewife. Writing on your hand is sheer Lucy. If an election between Obama and Sarah Palin were held today, and only white men could vote, Sarah Palin would be president. Did you know that in 1788, when there were four million people in America, only 39,000 of them — the richest white men — got to vote? That doesn’t sound good to you? Well, what if I threw in a picture of my cock? Which brings me back to Brett Favre, and I think it’s worth noting that in one of the alleged photos of him, he’s pleasuring himself on a bed while wearing Crocs. And if you think about it, is there any better metaphor for the sad state of America today than an over-the-hill white guy lazily masturbating in plastic shoes?


Palinizing Reality: Where’s the personal responsibility?

The liberal media did not make you sit in front of a camera, repeatedly, and yammer on and on about stupid sh*t.

.

It takes some work being a dimmer bulb than the Wasilla Wingnut, but O’Donnell is up for the task:

Delaware Republican Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell is asking voters to give her a second look. At a candidate forum sponsored by a group of local Republicans, O’Donnell blamed her campaign’s recent troubles on unfair coverage in the “liberal media.”

“I’ve put my name on the line. And I’ve taken a lot of hits … a lot of character assassination,” O’Donnell said.

All people are doing is showing videotapes of you talking.

Lou Dobbs!

John McCain!

Misc:

  • There’s a class war and the rich are winning.

Watch this:

Seriously.

  • New Christine O’Donnell ad: “I didn’t go to Yale.” She also says she knows how tough it is to “make” a dollar. Interesting, since she’s been unemployed for years and apparently pays her bills with contributions for her various campaigns…
