Stranger Than Fiction

DAMMIT JANET! just can't stop blogging about Sarah Palin. She has to be the overall best source for rightwingnut news. It appears that former presidential hopeful John McCain is experiencing selective amnesia.

Appearing on CNN’s State of the Union, Senator McCain said: "When we selected, or asked, Sarah Palin to be my running mate, it energized our party. We were ahead in the polls, until the stock market crashed."

Saying he would work with her again, he said: "She still is a formidable force in the Republican Party. And I have great affection for her. Will Sarah and I - did we always agree on everything in the past? Will we in the future? No. But let’s let a thousand flowers bloom."

Right. But first those poor little flowers have to make their way out of the truckload of manure that was dumped on them, into the sunshine.

McCain said he was looking forward to reading Palin's book and in particular the chapters about her joining his presidential campaign.

Um, John? Just be grateful if Sarah the narcissist exemplaire spelled your name correctly.

Salon has the CNN interview and more, here.

Two by two, to procreate as intended …

Thank the goddess that BigCityLib is keeping an eye on the Lifeshite fetus fetishists. We learn from his blogpost that the abortion criminalizers have compiled a list of the candidates that they consider to be in their camp.

That, along with April Reign’s reflections upon Stevie’s little parable about Noah and his ark, made Birth Pangs think that this approach, where sex = breeding has become a most unsavoury meme in this election campaign. Especially since since Lifeshite clearly labels its procreation political stance as one for “Serious Christians”, aka zealots.

Meanwhile in the US, Repulsican rightwing rhetoric cranked up the fearmongering to such a degree that even some ideologues are starting to panic over the ’stormfront’ that may have been unleashed. Good luck with that.
