PhotOh! Pamper Me Barbie edition

By GottaLaff

Diva McPamperMe made a stop:

Sarah Palin spent several hours at Pamper Me Please in East Peoria last Saturday before her speaking appearance in Washington, as well as appreciation for some Alaskan coffee provide by Embassy Suites during her recent visit to the area.

She really is one of the people, isn't she? That's what she keeps telling us, anyway.

Personally, I have never gotten my nails done, nor do I go to a stylist of any kind. I do all that myself, including my own hair cuts. But that's just me. I don't happen have the money, patience, or time (or inclination) to spend in salons.

Now, there is absolutely nothing wrong with doing any of that, not at all. Plus it keeps a lot of people employed, and it goes without saying that most people can't cut their own hair.

Here is Pamper Me Barbie getting worked on (click to enlarge):


Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta go color my hair.

MUST-SEE-- FOX Video report: There will be an "avalanche" for "many days" of the "foibles of Sarah Palin"

By GottaLaff

Yes, this is a Faux News report dissing their gal. Seems Failin' Palin didn't know Africa was a continent, threw dramatic temper tantrums over bad press, refused to prepare for the Gibson and Palin interviews... oh it's good:


There is already so much devastating information surfacing about Palin, 2012 isn't looking too promising. I can't resist adding salt to this gaping wound:

In the 68 days since Alaska’s governor began her run for vice president, things have changed on the home front. Some of her former allies are fuming, and former enemies are lying in wait. Public perceptions of the governor have also changed. [...]

At an Alaska Obama gathering Tuesday night, some celebrants said they were disappointed by the new Palin they saw in the campaign.

"All the alliances she used to get things done have been shattered," said Kate Troll, executive director of the Alaska Conservation Alliance. "She comes back to unknown territory."

See ya, Sarah Lou.

Palin "Shopping Spree" Bigger Than Reported

Hahahahaha!!!! Done, history, over for this woman.

In their special election edition, Newsweek reports that Gov. Sarah Palin's "shopping spree at high-end department stores was more extensive than previously reported. While publicly supporting Palin, McCain's top advisers privately fumed at what they regarded as her outrageous profligacy."

"One senior aide said that Nicolle Wallace had told Palin to buy three suits for the convention and hire a stylist. But instead, the vice presidential nominee began buying for herself and her family -- clothes and accessories from top stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus. According to two knowledgeable sources, a vast majority of the clothes were bought by a wealthy donor, who was shocked when he got the bill."

"Palin also used low-level staffers to buy some of the clothes on their credit cards. The McCain campaign found out last week when the aides sought reimbursement. One aide estimated that she spent 'tens of thousands' more than the reported $150,000, and that $20,000 to $40,000 went to buy clothes for her husband. Some articles of clothing have apparently been lost. An angry aide ... said the truth will eventually come out when the Republican Party audits its books."

The further misadventures of IWRC*: Palin Diss-Rogued

By GottaLaff

Now even the Republicans on her own team are dissing IWRC*, the Ambitious Rogue Candidate. I posted earlier about that here, but before I knew it, out came some more juicy tidbits, and it's all over the TeeVee Machine, too:

With 10 days until Election Day, long-brewing tensions between GOP vice presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin and key aides to Sen. John McCain have become so intense, they are spilling out in public, sources say. [...]

A second McCain source says she appears to be looking out for herself more than the McCain campaign.

"She is a diva. She takes no advice from anyone," said this McCain adviser. "She does not have any relationships of trust with any of us, her family or anyone else.

"Also, she is playing for her own future and sees herself as the next leader of the party. Remember: Divas trust only unto themselves, as they see themselves as the beginning and end of all wisdom."

Stop the presses! She doesn't even trust... Piper? Or Willow? Or Bristol? Or Trig? Or Track? Or First Dude Guy TweedleTodd? A down-home family gal like her? That doesn't sound exactly Christian family valuey to me.

But back to crumbling Team Gramm-pa. They lamented a lot that they held her back, because she was unprepared and needed more time, see, because, see, "she was not ready and that the missteps could have been a lot worse. They insisted that she needed time to be briefed on national and international issues and on McCain's record."

If she was "not ready" for a few basic questions, then how can they possibly claim she's ready to lead the entire country?

Yet another senior McCain adviser lamented the public recriminations.

"This is what happens with a campaign that's behind; it brings out the worst in people, finger-pointing and scapegoating," this senior adviser said.

The worstest of the worst, by the worst, and for the worst. It can't get much worse than that.

"She's no longer playing for 2008; she's playing 2012," Democratic pollster Peter Hart said. "And the difficulty is, when she went on 'Saturday Night Live,' she became a reinforcement of her caricature. She never allowed herself to be vetted, and at the end of the day, voters turned against her both in terms of qualifications and personally."

If IWRC has provided us with that kind of track record already, then by 2012, we'll have volumes.
