Redstateupdate on the Palin Pick

By LisaB on September 1, 2008 at 4:11 AM in Current Affairs

Well, Jackie and Dunlap have something to say about the newest VP candidate.

Bullwinkle was a nice touch, don’t you think?

  • Mr. Natural

    Chuckle. I won’t be sold until Red Green weighs in.

    • lute

      It’s one thing to lean toward McCain because of DNC corruption.

      But I don’t think you’re going to get HRC supporters to -like- the James Dicky faction that kept George Bush bleeding America for his rich cronies.

      • jangles

        Well, this HRC supporter finds this election has opened my eyes to the mean rhetoric of the Democrats in a way I never really noticed before—I hope because maybe it was not so mean. Maybe because I no longer live in an urban environment. But what comes to me is that it is no wonder Democrats have not earned those blue collar and rural votes—it is the same condescension and ridicule tactic that rips into HRC supporters. How can you get someone’s vote when you have no respect for them or their views, their cultural experiences? Obama’s campaign has taken this to a whole new level but what I am realizing is that this has been endemic with this party for a long, long time—demeaning and demonizing folks who choose to be Republicans, who don’t like a lot of government in their lives, who struggle with the moral dilemma of a pregnancy that poses economic or social problems etc. I may differ with these folks on these issues but I do not have to belittle them for believing that way.

      • Dr. Kate

        news flash: McCain is not George Bush.

        update: Obama is!!!!! Just a different skin color.

  • candymarl

    Excellent. Very funny.

    • lute

      very moronic, actually.

      • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lPCunsrI1Q Woman Voter

        Yes, Hillary looked at it, prepared for it, and then kept going, no matter how many obstacles were placed before her, no matter how many times she was knocked down or counted out, she kept going, chipping away at it and Sarah Palin recognized that it was all that Chipping and the prior nomination of Geraldine Ferraro that will give her a fair shot at breaking through ‘The Hardest and Highest Glass Ceiling’.

        We know Hillary Clinton is beautiful through and through and snide remarks are only because she has the mental intellect of a true fighter/Champion. She proved it was her vision, hard work, determination, wisdom and intellect that got her this far (even with her own party working against her) and that was proven during all the debates.

        Hillary Clinton was THE BEST CANDIDATE THAT JUST HAPPENED TO BE A WOMAN! DON’T EVER FORGET THAT!

  • red_sleeves

    Awesome. So Palin is now hunting Obullwinkle?

  • http://home.comcast.net/~vincep312 VinceP1974

    That picture of her with the gun is fucking awesome.

    • JoseyJ

      Don’t mess with a pistol packin’ mama!

      • Tuppence 411

        LOL- Let Obambi call her “Annie Oakly”. She is more like Sarah Conners in Terminator. And plus, unlike MEchelle, she has developed triceps for a reason. ( Okay that was mean, but c’mon, have you seen MEchelle’s arms?)

  • JoseyJ

    Like Dick Cheney – Biden received 5 student deferments and avoided serving in Vietnam due to his newly discovered asthma!!

    http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080831/ap_on_el_pr/cvn_biden_vietnam

    Documents provided by the Obama campaign indicate Biden received a classification questionnaire in October 1963, when he was enrolled at the University of Delaware, and received his first 2-S student deferment a month later. Additional deferments were granted in roughly 12-month intervals, the last coming in January 1968, shortly before he graduated from law school at Syracuse University.

    Then in April 1968, when he was 25, Biden was disqualified from service due to asthma.

    • wodiej

      so he suddenly developed asthma when he couldn’t get any more deferments?? Dean didn’t serve either, he was skiing in Vermont when people were getting their guts blown up and being tortured in Vietnam. Of course we know Bush was sitting around getting drunk at frat parties.

      • lute

        I would’ve acquired asthma as well.
        Anybody with sense was doing everything he could to get out of being sucked into that idiot’s excuse of a war.

        • JoseyJ

          But you’re not running for president against a P.O.W. who chose to serve in Vietnam.

          McCain has many P.O.W. supporters – Pissed Off Women!

          Dems for McCain/Palin!

    • yttik

      Wow, I’m glad I’m not a Democrat anymore. It would be embarassing to have to try and debate Republicans about Biden’s virtues when he has the same number of deferrments as Dick Cheney. Nothing says Change better then a 35 yr veteran of DC politics whose son is a lobbyist.

  • wodiej

    LOL…that was too much…I especially liked the parts where he said he didn’t think she was that hot until they showed her holding a gun. And then he said she was going to break that glass ceiling with a gun in each hand. hahahah, omg…haha

  • Bigtime

    It pisses me off that the Democratic party has me agreeing with Republicans.

    Nobama!!

  • TampaPUMA

    brilliant. i’ve always liked these guys.

    although i think it’s time to get past Gov. Palin’s stunning, pants-tightening good looks and treat her like the qualified, accomplished woman that she is.

    did i mention she’s hot? LOL j/k

  • lute

    It’s one thing to lean toward McCain because of all of the corruption within DNC.

    But I don’t think you’re gonna persuade anyone to actually -Like- the James Dicky faction that kept George Bush bleeding America for his rich buddies.

    • kgirl1028

      Obama allowed his friends to bleed Chicago’s treasury to build low income housing, and they behaved in much the same way as Bush’s friends did in iraq. So if there is anyone who will continue bushes legacy it will be obama not Mccain. Obama has shown already he has more of a proclivity towards that type of behavior. many people are hard on MCcain because he did not support them to put more money into the military, but Mccain firmly believes in not spending money you don’t have. obama’s budget will call for 1 trillion dollars, and because of his behavior in the Illnois state senate i don’t trust him with any of my hard earned money.

    • Dr. Kate

      you said that upthread.

      repeating your stooopid talking points as spam gets you banned from here, asshole.

      go play your lute for the boys. you’ll probably get a lot of takers, especially Oblowme.

      Redstateupate is hillarious! Thanks!

  • lute

    I hope Larry and Susan are having a great holiday.

      omg hello???

      r there any women here?
      did you not hear that freak accuse Hillary of 18 million cracks cuz she LOOKED AT IT!!!!!

      HELLO?????

      • wodiej

        I didn’t hear that

        • wac for hillary

          He said it, and it was a stupid, totally unnecessary thing to say.

      • Party unity…got koolaid?

        Yes, I heard it.
        I guess I am getting desensitized after months of hearing that kind of trash from my own party, the BORG (Barack Obama Rapture Group), and the media. It’s refreshing to hear it instead coming from someone who is supposed to hate her – a fictional stereotypical red state character.

        I will not be assimilated!

        • Dawnelle

          Yeah :-/ I’m about tired of just ignoring it from these freaks!

          no matter what color red or blue

          insults are insults

          lies about birth mothers and birth dates and birth PLACES should be easily proved!

          I can prove all of the above and don’t know anyone who can’t.

          but then there are 18 million cracks in a glass ceiling – “r u sure it’s not cuz Hillary looked at it”

          bull shit insults that REALLY PISS ME OFF!!!!

          just general hate

          the all around HATEFUL

          I hate the HATERS! ;-)

          • LisaB

            One of the reasons I like these guys is their satire is so dead on many people don’t get the joke that it’s the stereotype of southerners that is being skewered.

            Wikipedia has this about redstateupdate:

            Red State Update is an ongoing online satirical political series of short films produced in the United States by performers Jonathan Shockley and Travis Harmon.[1] Red State Update is one of the most widely viewed political satire series on the internet; its YouTube channel is the 20th “most viewed” and 26th “most subscribed” comedy “channel” on YouTube.[2] It is also syndicated weekly through the popular online magazine Salon.com.[3]

            Shockley plays Dunlap, who makes controversial comments, eliciting responses from Jackie Broyles, played by Harmon. Dunlap often makes commercials for a “Jackie Broyles for President” in 2008 campaign. Jackie has issued a Shermanesque statement denying his intention to run.

            Red State Update came to national prominence during the primary season for the 2008 presidential season. Their first appearance on national television was during the CNN-YouTube Democratic debate on July 23, 2007, which posed prerecorded, viewer-submitted questions to the candidates. Of Democrats who were entertaining the idea of former Vice-President Al Gore joining the race, Red State Update asked, “does that hurt y’all’s feelings?” [4] Joe Biden made a tongue-in-cheek observation that “I think the people of Tennessee (from which both Gore and the RSU pair hail) had their feelings hurt,” prompting a video response entitled “Fightin’ Joe Biden”. The subsequent publicity generated led to a number of appearances on different news stations and a semi-regular spot on CNN’s short-lived program Out in the Open. They gained prominence again in December 2007 when former senator and long-shot presidential candidate Mike Gravel appeared in one of their clips as Santa Claus.[1]

            Red State Update has since been repeatedly referenced by CNN’s offbeat reporter Jeanne Moos. [2] [3] [4] The duo released an album of comedy and novelty songs on July 22nd entitled How Freedom Sounds. [5] Jackie and Dunlap have promised to retire from Red State Update if they do not outsell Miley Cyrus’ new album Breakout which was released on the same day in first week sales.

    • BJ

      I posted on this site yesterday the latest CNN polls- it showed Aug 23 McCrazy against bambi were 47-47

      then most recent showed bambi 48- and mccain 47

      I asked with the media’s help all these months crowning him the new brown god and after a horrible presidency under Bush, shouldn’t bambi be slaughtering McCrazy in the polls by now?

      You know they’re worried :)

        Gallup Daily: Obama-Biden Ticket Leads by 6 Points
        August 31, 2008
        The Democratic presidential ticket of Obama-Biden holds a six percentage point lead over the Republican McCain-Palin ticket, 48% to 42%, in Gallup Poll Daily tracking from Thursday to Saturday. This includes two days of interviews after Obama’s acceptance speech as well as McCain’s vice presidential announcement.

        • OBushMA!

          Not impressive, even in bold print.

        • BJ

          good try with the idiocy obambi-BOT- i said it was a cnn poll

          leave it the pathetic to dig for any poll that puts the scum of bambi on top

          by the way, after 8 yrs of bush shouldnt even that poll be higher than 6?

          such losers

        • BJ

          oh i forgot to point out that putting your crap in bold print doesn’t make it any more useful or accurate-

    OT
    Sexist comment of the day presented by James Carville

    It’s barely 5:30am here and I opened my laptop next to my bed to post what I just heard Carville say.

    He lives in NO so he was asked about the emergency response etc. Then it turned to politics. He was asked what he thinks of a poll that shows 75% think Palin was chosen to help McC win.

    Carville said it doesn’t really matter because “he picked somebody that’s not really qualified to be president” (cough cough)-

    Then he held up a picture and said,

    “This is a picture of the City Hall where she was Mayor like 3 years ago, and it looks a little bit like a BAKE SHOP to me”

    “Bake Shop” ?

    Is that the term he would have used if it were a male we are talking about?

    It’s bad enough he dared to bring up the “qualified to be president” bullshit but “Bake Shop”?

    • http://NoteToSelfDontDie.com/members/ gerard McNedich

      oh. my. god.

      why on earth is carville turning into an Obama ass licker?

      how sad…

      a. hillary
      b. mccain

      america first!

    • wac for hillary

      Carville needs to get out of the big city and observe what a small town mayor goes through every single day–limited budget to handle law enforcement, water and sewer (if you have those), garbage pick-up (if you have that), animal control (if you have the money for that), etc.; everybody wanting you to do them favors because everybody knows you personally and not liking it when you don’t or can’t, little or no salary, calls to your home at all hours about everything major and minor, and on and on. I live in the country near several small towns, and you couldn’t pay me enough to be mayor of any of those towns. From what I see, you have to have a really strong personality and a very tough hide to do this job. Obama would be a sniveling wreck after a week on the job.

      • BJ

        big city? like I said he lives in New Orleans!

  • Steve1

      Does anyone remember the TV show Northern Exposure?

      That was set in Alaska and generated a lot of interest in the state. This new attention due to Sarah Palin may bring them more tourism in the next year or so.

        Actually it was filmed here in Washington State in a town called Roslyn, but the story line was that it was Cicely, Alaska.

        My husband has been to Alaska several times. He loves it. Keeps trying to talk me into going for about a month. I’m a Northern, CA, Montana fan. In fact I just told him get ready because next year we’re buying an RV and I’m going to Northern, CA the entire camping season April through Oct. I love camping but the bears keep me up and down all night. If you don’t have a bear locker they try to get in your vehicle, etc. Smart. I never realized bears were so intelligent. Probably didn’t help much that my 3 year old grandson hid open candy in the tent, every single night we were there my son in law had bears batting at his head while he was sleeping. lol Trying to unzip the tent to come in for a visit. We finally figured out why when we we’re leaving. He had taken a piece of laffy taffy and stuck it to the side of their air matress, so even though we swept the tent everyday we never saw it till we was deflating it.

    • BJ

      no he did not say bait shop.. i had it on tivo and rewound it 3 x to clearly write down what he said

    Palin is being accused of hating polar bears. She opposed Bush when he wanted to put them on the endangered species act.

    If you want to know why, she wrote an article about it back in Jan

    • wodiej

      good article, thanks for posting. Rumors and allegations come from misinformed/uninformed people.

    • kgirl1028

      I went to college with kids from alaska, and quite few of them stated that polar bares hunt and stalk humans with no provacation. So while it does not excuses exstermating them. I can see how some people might not like them as much as we do.

      • kgirl1028

        let me do a rewrite since i sound retarded in the above passage.

          lol I think we all have those moments. I call mine brain farts. Grizzly also eat meat, we have to remember people are not indigenous to their area’s. I mean in the populations that we now occupy in their territories. Once people insert themselves into that arena on a permanent basis the animal comes to accept their presence. They then become prey the same as other animals. Look how long since man first walked on Earth, and man still has not learned to live together. Animals eventually do learn. A perfect example of this is the Starling, when it was first introduced to this country in the late 1800′s it almost caused the extintion of several other bird species. It had no idea what was expected of it. It is learning though. We still haven’t learned.

  • SJ

    It is really disgusting the things being said on the blogs and in articles about Palin last baby and her 16 yr old daughter, its really disgusting the ends people are going to in support of Obama.

    What is wrong with this country, this is a young teenager that has to live her life after all this politics, so why dirty her name with things that are just not true, Obama’s winning means so much to so that they intend to destroy and crush anyone that comes in that way?

    I really think someone or some group should really come out in support of putting a stop to this nonsense, it is not right and should not be allowed to go on, its disgusting to think as Americans some of us are stooping so low to ensure Obama wins this election.
