Hardball: Chris Matthews' RWNJ roundup

[WhoIsNumberNone]

In case you missed it- As usual, Sarah the Weathergirl has the defining soundbite at CPAC. And morons eat it up.

This weekend, Sarah Palin closed out CPAC with a tour de force performance that was more stand-up routine than political speech and included a parody of Dr. Seuss' Green Eggs and Ham lifted directly from a four-year-old chain email. None of this was lost on MSNBC's Chris Matthews, who showed some highlights from Palin's speech before sharing his review of it.

Matthews was particular offended by one of Palin's applause-break-inducing lines that concerned the possibility of nuclear way between the U.S. and Russia. "Mr. President, the only thing that stops a bad guy with a nuke is a good guy with a nuke," Palin told the crowd to thunderous applause.

"I grew up hiding under a desk as a school kid because of a threat of a nuclear war between U.S. and the Soviet Union," Matthews said, "and for somebody to laugh about nuclear confrontation, and then to applaud it — what planet do these people live on, these fullmooners at CPAC?"

"Someone should tell Governor Palin that nuclear war is not a metaphor for manhood," he said before ending the segment. "It's insanity."

1. 'Fullmooners' and 'Nuclear war is not a metaphor for manhood.' Can't be said often enough... n/t

2. Palin is a human version of syrup of Ipecac.

She makes me want to puke.

What clips I forced myself to watch of the various CPAC rants showed only the RWNJs screeching about what they are AGAINST. I did not hear (as usual) anything about what they are FOR nor any real ideas about how to fix anything.


"Someone should tell Governor Palin that nuclear war is not a metaphor for manhood," - nor is any other kind of war.

3. They're for

the right of you and me to breathe polluted air, the right to drink polluted water, the right to see million/billionaires pay less taxes, the right to crappy health care and education, and the right to risk getting randomly shot by lunatics. Those are the things they're for.

4. "Someone should tell Governor Palin that nuclear war is not a metaphor for manhood"

I don't think I have ever seen her quite so vile.. she was in fine form

[Scuba]

6. That's the smartest think Matthews ever said.

10. I really enjoyed that show.. normally I don't see him

except for clips here on DU. He's kind of hard on the ears
but boy was he on fire about the crazies.. I had no idea
how he felt and how outspoken he was.

5. Palin has become a cartoon version of herself.

8. Even more so... she pretty much started out

that way.

9. She's the perfect retort when a Right Winger mocks Biden.

12. Ditto

She's always been a cartoon character. That's why RWNJs love her so much. She talks to them on their level.

[Jack Rabbit]

13. Would it hurt her to drop an anvil on her head?

It's probably her least vulnerable spot, even in three dimensions.

Second to that is her heart. "Why do we need a social net?" a typical American right winger asks. "Give money to the poor and they'll only waste it on food and clothing."

Without further ado, take it away, Sarah . . .

7. If Chris is going to refer to palin as gov then he should address her

as the failed gov of Alaska or the 1/2 gov palin. No way did she earn the "gov palin" moniker.

But, I digress.. thank you Tweety for pointing out the stupidity of palin and her brain-dead audience.
