When I heard all the bravado about Sarah Palin bravely going on SNL I thought she might ACTUALLY participate in something rather than walk through the set and stand by as somone else mocks her. I’m not sure what exactly this was supposed to accomplish. I think she just can’t turn down a shot a network TV. She did stay until the end, but only showed up in 2 sketches and didn’t really do much in them. At the curtain call, she didn’t get as many hugs as the rest of the cast for some reason.

I spotted the top image on Glen Hanson’s (a.k.a. GManLA) myspace page. Below it are some of his hotter illustrations. GManLA has been on my MySpace friends list since I started the MySpace side of the site.
He’s done a lot of great work and his style may look familiar as his illustrations have appeared in a multitude of publications around the world including BRITISH VOGUE and GQ, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY, NEWSWEEK, THE WALL ST. JOURNAL, MAXIM, FHM and VARIETY. Not to mention his oh-so-gay looking (with that too perfectly chiseled physiqued pretty-boy – I loved it, but I didn’t see it appealing to the typical straight comic book fanboy at the time) Bod body spray illustrated campaign appearing over consecutive months in mainstream comic books awhile back.
In 2004, Bruno Gmunder published the first hardbound collection book of his world famous sexy “G-MEN” images, the self-titled, G-Man. Glen Hanson’s “G-MEN” can also be found on the cover as well as inside Stripped: The Illustrated Male, Bruno Gmunder’s latest gay erotic illustration compilation book.
You also may recognize GManLA’s style from Chelsea Boys, the syndicated comic strip he illustrates with Allan Neuwirth. Together they also wrote Wonder Woman VS. The Red Menace for DC COMICS. (hoping I can get him to send some samples of this comic!)

I’m so glad there are people in news and entertainment who are more than willing to cut through the web of lies spun by the McCain/Palin machine.
Oct. 6: Countdown’s Keith Olbermann points out in a Special Comment that while John McCain might want to use Sarah Palin to hit Barack Obama below the belt and accuse him of terrorist associations, he overlooked the unfortunate fact that “pallin’ around with terrorists” is one area where Palin has more experience.
I just worry that the demographic that McCain/Palin are targeting with their lies are unlikely to see any of the outlets speaking the truth. They don’t change the channel from FOX News.

I swear, EVERY day this Anita Bryant wanna-be says something that just pisses me off to no end. I really don’t understand why she is supposed to help. But then again no one has ever gone broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public. Lets hope we surprise them this time by showing that the average American is capable of independent thought and not so easily bamboozled.
#1. Politicians shouldn’t be saying if you are a woman, vote for me or you’ll go to hell, which is basically what she’s saying. It is another completely inappropriate attempt to bring religion into the political realm. She’s trying to turn Madeleine Albright’s words against her in a charming folksy manner, but is entering more dangerous territory than usual.
#2. Albright herself has said Palin is taking the quote and twisting it to serve her own ends.
Albright responded: “Though I am flattered that Governor Palin has chosen to cite me as a source of wisdom, what I said had nothing to do with politics. This is yet another example of McCain and Palin distorting the truth, and all the more reason to remember that this campaign is not about gender, it is about which candidate has an agenda that will improve the lives of all Americans, including women. The truth is, if you care about the status of women in our society and in our troubled economy, the best choice by far is Obama-Biden.”

There is just so much great stuff to mock about Sarah Palin that I have to save up items and dole them out at my leisure…
You have to love the YouTube generation. Check out this footage of Sarah Palin’s beauty queen days. Palin was runner-up in the 1984 Miss Alaska beauty pageant after winning the Miss Wasilla contest earlier that year. Her pageant win gave her a scholarship to help pay her way through college. Palin was also voted Miss Congeniality and in the Wasilla pageant, and her talent was the flute.
I’m all for a woman in a position of political power. But does it have to be THIS woman? Lets hope she and McCain place second.

Tina Fey continues to do God’s work by lampooning Sarah Palin for her old cronies at SNL. The Palin sketches just keep getting better and this weeks Veep debate between “Sarah Palin” and “Joe Biden” is brilliant by any standards. As much as I enjoy these skits, I’ll be happier when there is no longer a need for them. Watch and enjoy!

Log Cabin Republicans, I hope you were paying attention. Palin made it clear that she “tolerates” Gays. But if we get too uppity and start acting like we’re as good as Straights, she served notice last night that she’ll quickly put us back in our place. She will oppose our interests in order to “protect” her Straight marriage from us.
If anyone had any doubts that Governor Palin is a bigot, she laid them to rest when Biden announced how happy he was that she supports Gay rights just like him! Biden was overjoyed to hear that Palin doesn’t just tolerate people who, in her own words from an earlier Couric interview, “choose” same-sex orientation. By pushing her freshly-spoken words of tolerance into something with a bit more substance, Biden dared her to give America some Straight talk in support of the LGBTQ community.
Biden’s challenged Palin to go beyond tolerating us and begin speaking out in our favor, as a proper vice president in 2008 should. When the moderator asked point-blank if she would champion Gay rights, Palin flat skirted the issue. She simply repeated her opposition to same-sex marriage.
***TRANSCRIPT***
IFILL: The next round of — pardon me, the next round of questions starts with you, Sen. Biden. Do you support, as they do in Alaska, granting same-sex benefits to couples?
BIDEN: Absolutely. Do I support granting same-sex benefits? Absolutely positively. Look, in an Obama-Biden administration, there will be absolutely no distinction from a constitutional standpoint or a legal standpoint between a same-sex and a heterosexual couple.
The fact of the matter is that under the Constitution we should be granted — same-sex couples should be able to have visitation rights in the hospitals, joint ownership of property, life insurance policies, et cetera. That’s only fair.
It’s what the Constitution calls for. And so we do support it. We do support making sure that committed couples in a same-sex marriage are guaranteed the same constitutional benefits as it relates to their property rights, their rights of visitation, their rights to insurance, their rights of ownership as heterosexual couples do.
IFILL: Governor, would you support expanding that beyond Alaska to the rest of the nation?
PALIN: Well, not if it goes closer and closer towards redefining the traditional definition of marriage between one man and one woman. And unfortunately that’s sometimes where those steps lead.
But I also want to clarify, if there’s any kind of suggestion at all from my answer that I would be anything but tolerant of adults in America choosing their partners, choosing relationships that they deem best for themselves, you know, I am tolerant and I have a very diverse family and group of friends and even within that group you would see some who may not agree with me on this issue, some very dear friends who don’t agree with me on this issue.
But in that tolerance also, no one would ever propose, not in a McCain-Palin administration, to do anything to prohibit, say, visitations in a hospital or contracts being signed, negotiated between parties.
But I will tell Americans straight up that I don’t support defining marriage as anything but between one man and one woman, and I think through nuances we can go round and round about what that actually means.
But I’m being as straight up with Americans as I can in my non- support for anything but a traditional definition of marriage.
IFILL: Let’s try to avoid nuance, Senator. Do you support gay marriage?
BIDEN: No. Barack Obama nor I support redefining from a civil side what constitutes marriage. We do not support that. That is basically the decision to be able to be able to be left to faiths and people who practice their faiths the determination what you call it.
The bottom line though is, and I’m glad to hear the governor, I take her at her word, obviously, that she think there should be no civil rights distinction, none whatsoever, between a committed gay couple and a committed heterosexual couple. If that’s the case, we really don’t have a difference.
IFILL: Is that what your said?
PALIN: Your question to him was whether he supported gay marriage and my answer is the same as his and it is that I do not.
IFILL: Wonderful. You agree. On that note, let’s move to foreign policy.
And here is the 2008 Vice-Presidential Debate in its entirety…

Is anyone else sick of Palin’s “folksy charm.” Hearing here refer to the Democratic ticket as “you guys” in a serious public forum is just plain embarrassing. It seems to me that the choice of Palin and her dreadfully informal speech patterns are an attempt to attract what the Republicans consider the “average” American. I realize that we have a lot of stupid people from sea to shining sea, but do we HAVE to sink to their level? Even my die-hard Republican parents agree she’s a hockey mom who is out of her league.
I found this handy flowchart detailing the complicated political processes that were taught to Sarah Palin during her grueling days of Debate Camp. As I read through it, I can almost picture the debate unfolding before my very eyes.
And here’s more folksy charm about the Michigan pull-out.

It makes you a target. Flake on him and you will feel the sharp barb of his wit… over and over. McCain should have known better. but then again, there seem to be a FEW things he should have know better.

COURIC: You’ve said, quote, “John McCain will reform the way Wall Street does business.” Other than supporting stricter regulations of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac two years ago, can you give us any more example of his leading the charge for more oversight?
PALIN: I think that the example that you just cited, with his warnings two years ago about Fannie and Freddie–that, that’s paramount. That’s more than a heck of a lot of other senators and representatives did for us.
COURIC: But he’s been in Congress for 26 years. He’s been chairman of the powerful Commerce Committee. And he has almost always sided with less regulation, not more.
PALIN: He’s also known as the maverick though. Taking shots from his own party, and certainly taking shots from the other party. Trying to get people to understand what he’s been talking about–the need to reform government.
COURIC: I’m just going to ask you one more time, not to belabor the point. Specific examples in his 26 years of pushing for more regulation?
PALIN: I’ll try to find you some and I’ll bring them to you.
Here are some more somewhat horrifyingly uninformed clips of the not-so-divine Sarah Palin.

The media is definitely growing a pair (or they may have borrowed Hillary’s). Now in only the lemmings would listen to the truth about the lies.

I missed the opening sketch on SNL’s season premiere last night. And that was unfortunate as it was apparently the ONLY thing worth laughing at. I watched the entire program and there was nothing else remotely funny. Luckily there was another episode from 2004 on E! (Christina Aguilera and Maroon 5) – that was a funny episode.
The writers didn’t know what to do with Michael Phelps. He may swim like a fish, but he’s not much of an actor/comedian. Easy answer – it would have been hysterical if they had come up with a show full of skits that required him for a variety of reasons to be in a speedo or towel. As it was they dorked him up a bit too much and tried to keep him from talking. They had a whole summer off and THIS is all they came up with? I admit the Palin/Clinton sketch was golden – but why not make the REST of the show funny too? I just kept thinking REALLY? This is it?
