[Angry Dragon]

2. LOL

3. Thank You For the Laugh, Sir

"Among last words, 'watch this' runs neck and neck with 'oh, shit'...."

[hibbing]

13. adendum..

Hey,
I always thought it was "here, hold my beer and watch this", hehe

Peace

4. Yee Haw, let's us run a REEL cunsurvatave pare

an show them commie bastids a thang er too.

Romley was a milkytoasty itchascratcher, we nead sumwun hool stannup fer are prinsipples.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. Can you get a heart attack from laughing?

Because that's the only kind of heart attack those two maladroits could give anybody.

Would be cool if somebody would set up a bogus "exploratory committee" to lure those two egomaniacal nitwits into actually doing it. Though at the end, I'm sure Karl Rove's money men would put a stop to the whole thing.

Still, I'd pay good money to watch the spectacle.

6. Urk

pass the aspirin

[NightWatcher]

7. Who's that woman on the right?

The last time Palin was of any relevance was 2008. By the time 2015 comes around there will be no more Milf Factor. The Nuge hasn't been of relevance since he fronted Jackyl.

Please run as the Teabagger ticket and funnel off a dozen votes from whatever loon the repukes put up.

[Bluzmann57]

14. Nugent fronted Jackyl?

You may be thinking of Jesse James Dupree, who I actually met once.
The Jackyl I am thinking of had a hit song about Lumberjack or something like that. And they opened for Thorogood when I saw them and met Dupree. Now it is possible that they opened for nugent at one time. After all, nugent was a "headliner" at one time.

[NightWatcher]

22. My bad I was thinking Damn Yankees

See, he's that forgettable

[Bluzmann57]

37. Can't argue with that.

[Skittles]

8. oh yes I am scared

scared of the kind of idiocy that thinks these two clowns threaten me

[madinmaryland]

32. They both need a serious ass kicking. Though it could get a bit messy with Nugent.

[Blanks]

9. Meatloaf should be a part of the campaign...

He was such a big hit.

[lpbk2713]

10. The Quitter and the Shitter

Ii love it.

[SunSeeker]

20. LOL

I see what you did there. But it is my understanding, to avoid going to Vietnam he not only pooped himself but pissed all over himself and didn't bathe for weeks. He kind of looks like he never broke that habit...

[SalviaBlue]

24. Duzy!

[sad-cafe]

26. that is way too funny

and would trend very fast if they actually tried this stupidity

[AsahinaKimi]

11. Wow, ya just gotta know

This would be one hella ugly campaign if these two were serious enough...but The Republicans wouldn't want them. Tea baggers might applaud but.. smh. Seriously, that is one UGLY ticket.

[penndragon69]

12. Dumb and Dumberer for president.

President of URANUS, that is !!

[Jamaal510]

17. Actually, I have a hard time differentiating between their IQs.

Both Palin and Nugent come off as equally misguided IMO.

[paulbibeau]

15. UPDATE...

1,100 Likes and 780 Shares.

Oh God, please. PLEASE. Let this happen. I will go back to church, I swear.

[GoneOffShore]

16. Run Teddy, Run! And take The Grifter with you.

I can't wait.

[SheilaT]

18. While they would lose big time, big enough to help

re-define the word "landslide", the genuinely horrifying thing is that millions of Americans would actually vote for them. It is almost impossible to overestimate the level of stupidity in this country.

[AlbertCat]

19. As amusingly dumb as this "palling around" is...

.... the REAL joke is that any liberal would have a heart attack over it.

Some Repugs might, however!

[ChazInAz]

21. AAAww...aren't they cute.

Bless their pointy little heads!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

28. Nugent still has that rabid spittle foam hanging off his chin. nt

[Robb]

23. "By all accounts they are doing so unironically"

Irony died in 2000.

[nolabear]

25. I say we DU that one. Because you just know they'd give it a go

And that would be AWEsome!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

27. Promoting such nonsense may split the Republican party. Is that a bad thing? nt

[DFW]

29. I wish it were so funny

Don't forget, the Republican ticket is guaranteed 42% of the vote, even if they run Roger Rabbit and Huckleberry Hound as their president and vice-president. I wish that were something from the Onion, but it's closer to the truth. That's scary, not funny.

[OmahaBlueDog]

30. Cute

Ain't gonna happen...but cute.

A campaign with Nugent would last about 3 days under serious media scrutiny.

Maybe...maybe Palin takes another shot in 2016. She'd have to reinvent herself a la "the New Dick Nixon." More likely she continues in her role as Tea Party endorser and speaker. I can't see her getting more than 45% of the vote under the best of circumstances -- meaning the Dems nominated someone wildly unpopular. Running against Hillary Clinton, she might only get 5 states and 35-40% of the popular vote. (ID, WY, AK, UT, OK) (and AK wouldn't be a sure-thing).

The wingnut I see them all falling in love with is Dr. Ben Carson (I've posted on him over in Propaganda Debunking).

[eppur_se_muova]

35. Please refer to him by his full title -- "Dr. Ben Carson, FOX News Staff Lobotomist" nt

[deurbano]

38. My Mom is gaga over Ben Carlson.....

My mom, an 82 year-old Limbaugh fangirl, who constantly listens to right wing hate radio when not watching right wing hate TV (Fox)... and who was an actual delegate to the convention in Tampa... is hyperventilating over this guy. She called on Friday night to (breathlessly) BEG me to sit my 14-year-old in front on the TV to watch the Hannity show... featuring the new Republican Great Black Hope. (Since Powell and Cain didn't pan out...) My son is the kind of kid who has watched Colbert at the Correspondents' Dinner multiple times, and only watches Fox clips when they are the object of ridicule on the Daily Show, Colbert, etc., so you know, her attempts at indoctrination will have no more effect on him than they did on me. (Back in the day...) But she still keeps trying. (With me, too.) I read the transcripts of Carson's very self-promoting (and underwhelming) performance at the Prayer Breakfast (couldn't stomach actually watching it)... and if the transcripts are correct, he referred to Republican lawyers and "Democrat" lawyers. (God deliver me from another obnoxious Republican...) And how we have to resist being PC ... and (for example) get over being "afraid" to say Merry Christmas. (Oh, brother... I live in Satan's own paradise-- San Francisco-- and even here, there have been no signs of that bogus "War on Christmas"... unless they mean the complete commercialization of said religious holiday-- which they don't.) And other stuff... (Lame policy proposals and self-promotion, mainly.) The guy has a very inspirational back story, and is a renowned surgeon... but Jeez. Now they want to run him for president because he "spoke to truth to power" (they actually use those words!) by breaking with the decades long tradition of bipartisanship at the breakfast, and saying stuff that could be interpreted as critical of the President. But... the BEST part is he's black!!! (See?!!! Republicans aren't racist!!!!)

[OmahaBlueDog]

39. Yep - I have friends who feel the same way

He's clearly the new "Joe The Plumber"

[Katashi_itto]

31. It's Nugent..Shouldnt it be "Scat Cat Fever" ?

[backscatter712]

33. Remember the wisdom of the Book of Alinsky

...aka. Rules for Radicals.

RULE 13: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”

Personally, I think Ted Nugent and Sarah Palin are the perfect face for the Republican Party, and we should be plastering them everywhere!

[BlueStreak]

34. COMBINED, that ticket is getting dangerously close to triple digit IQ points.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

36. Will there be Ted & Boopsie dolls?

[0rganism]

40. because the problem with their 2008 ticket was it lacked in the "whackadoo" department

There's no way we'd be lucky enough for them to run this pair, but the thought of a bunch of wingnuts supporting it does bring a smile to my face.

[lpbk2713]

41. The half-governor is smiling ...

... so she must be up wind.
