Okay, the YouTube Video of this is pretty bad, the sund is horrible. Enter the HumidCity transcription service. Using the text below you can follow along while Jon Stewart speaks at Northeastern University in Boston last Friday. A speech in which he directly addreses Sarah Palin with a succinct “fuck you.”

Here is the link to the video, and below is the transcription, enjoy.

This is the actual image being used on the front page of CNN.com right now:

I shit you not.

Then again, who can take a nothing day and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile? Well, it’s you girl, and you should know it. With each glance and every little movement you show it. Love is all around, no need to fake it. You can have the world, why don’t you take it? You’re gonna make it after all.

Crap pants. Rinse. Repeat.

Maybe for the same reason that Larry Craig hates gays? Is it just me, or has sexual self-loathing really evolved into a disturbing GOP trademark?

The following is almost beyond comprehension for anyone with a soul or a conscience.

During four years in which Sarah Palin was mayor of Wasillia, rape victims were charged for their own rape kits. The practice was the brainchild of her handpicked police chief (which she hired shortly after being elected mayor). This absurd, cruel, disrespectful and harmful practice (which was not practiced by Alaska State Troopers or any other Alaskan city, just Wasilla, and only under Palin’s watch) was not put to and end until then-governor Tony Knowles made it illegal by signing a bill into law that objected to the practice. Governor Knowles explained thus:

“We would never bill the victim of a burglary for fingerprinting and photographing the crime scene, or for the cost of gathering other evidence,” Knowles said. “Nor should we bill rape victims just because the crime scene happens to be their bodies.”

Which begs the question, why on earth would any law enforcement agency want to charge a woman for the investigation of her own rape? Because the examination and the rape itself aren’t humiliation enough? Read the rest of this entry »

Sarah Palin needs to close her legs and open a book.

[EDIT 4:40pm: BTW, now that the reactions are in and the original author of the quote has been outed in our comment stream I'd like to point out that this statement came from a woman. FYI]

John McCain’s former campaign chief Mike Murphy and former Reagan speechwriter Peggy Noonan were caught on tape after an NBC interview. They shared their real thoughts on McCain’s judgment in selecting Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate.Video Here

TRANSCRIPT

Mike Murphy, former McCain advisor: You know, because I come out of the blue swing state governor work. Engler, Whitman, Thompson, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush. And these guys, this is all like how you want to (inaudible) this race. You know, just run it up. And it’s not gonna work.

Peggy Noonan, former Reagan speechwriter: It’s over.

Murphy: Still, McCain can give a version of the Lieberman speech to do himself some good.

NBC’s Chuck Todd: Don’t you think the Palin pick was insulting to Kay Bailey Hutchinson, too (inaudible)

Noonan: I saw Kay this morning.

Murphy: They’re all bummed out.

Todd: I mean, is she really the most qualified woman they could have turned to?

Noonan: The most qualified? No. I think they went for this, excuse me, political [B.S.] about narratives and (inaudible) the picture.

Murphy: I totally agree.

Noonan: Every time the Republicans do that because that’s not where they live and it’s not what they’re good at and they blow it.

Murphy: You know what’s really the worst thing about it? The greatness of McCain is no cynicism and this is cynical.

Todd: And as you called it, gimmicky.
