The Mole

posted by on October 22 at 11:29 AM

Perhaps Sarah Palin—who is doing serious damage to McCain’s chances, what with her depositions, wardrobe malfunctions, suspect billing practices, and general implausibility—is a highly-placed, top-secret mole working on behalf of the Democratic party.

What other explanation is there for this:

We don't want her! They have to keep her!

But the scarf is priceless.

the stylist they hired has nothing but contempt for the GOP in his/her heart + palin's an idiot?

No, no - it's her sales assistant at Bloomingdale's who's the genius here.

Clearly, she's an arab terrorist. She just put the coffee down for this photo.

Eeek! Look at her hand! She's a wicked witch! On Nov. 5 her spell will break and we'll see her green and warty face as it really is.

Those are Alaskan elephants, folks! Ya betcha! Gosh-golly...

She was concerned that the elephant scarf made her look fat.

Some handler/personal assistant just won a bet.

Haven't I been saying that Sarah Palin is a gift from God?


And the only reason I now believe there is a God is none other than Sarah Palin.

$150,000 wardrobe budget, and this is the best they can do?

I hope she gets a reality show deal soon. Sarah Palin makes Paris Hilton look like a true scholar.

Last night I was theorizing there's got to be a mole handling the McCain campaign: sending a message of divisiveness, rejecting running mates who can walk and chew gum at the same time. This merely adds more evidence.

They're capybaras. Red, white and blue capybaras.

Brandon ... they are PRO AMERICAN victory ponies

No, no, they're pit-bulls!

I don't think donkeys go around sniffing each others butts...

Okay, so, I'm wondering how on earth she put this scarf on and didn't notice?

Are those donkeys wearing lipstick?

@25: That is brilliant! The truth is, middle American Jesus nuts are just as wound up in their witchcraft as any "voodoo" practitioner in Africa. I guess the silver lining is, they're not intolerant of other religions: they recognize the efficacy of the Kenyans' religion. They feel it must be fought, so it must be as real and valid as the western god. (Makes me think of god in chaps, is that wrong?)

@25 - hey, that email came from someone in Bothell! I didn't want to know that the scary Christians were so close.

She's not a mole. McCain gave her this scarf. But whey did he give her a scarf, a fashion accessory very popular in France? Because he's not trying to win.

I'd wager that she is entirely unaware that the donkey is a symbol of the Democratic party.

As I said elsewhere: now, let's see a liberal who has the nerve to wear something serious and patriotic with elephants on it. Or I'd settle for just an American flag pin.

we won't wear elephants during election season, because we despise republicans--seriously. and flag pins reek of phony and meaningless to those with brains. that explain it for you seajay?

@36 - maybe you could post a link to clothing that is "serious and patriotic with elephants on it..."

@38:Does this count?

Ugh, seajay. You’re sliding into Bailo territory…

A. Pretty much every Democrat now wears a flag pin 24/7 thanks to the conservative idiots who think that not wearing one means you're un-American. I think it’s completely moronic, but if a fucking lapel pin is all it takes to convince people that Obama loves his county… okay, fine, wear one for all I care.

B. It wouldn’t be “nerve” for a Democratic politician to wear something that says “Vote” plus a picture of an elephant. It would be stupid. Just like a Democrat wearing a “McCain/Palin” or a “Vote GOP” shirt would be stupid.

Late to the party, but here goes:

Albino zebras. With patriotic saddles. And GOTV banners. *cough*

@40 ... you seem serious and thoughtful.
My point isn't about flag pins, though I could argue it. My point has to do with how someone can read this site about how Mrs Palin was bought forty gazillion dollars' worth of clothes by Republicans--remember, if she's stupid, it doesn't matter because she's got handlers, right?--and then to say this scarf is something NOT intentional. I can tell you from personal experience that political handlers are aware of the invention of the camera and pay a great deal of attention to visible symbols associated with their people.

"It wouldn’t be 'nerve' for a Democratic politician to wear something that says 'Vote' plus a picture of an elephant. It would be stupid. Just like a Democrat wearing a 'McCain/Palin' or a 'Vote GOP' shirt would be stupid."

You're correct here, though it's a poor analogy because she's not wearing a shirt that says "Obama/Biden" or "Vote Democratic." But for a Democrat to do even as much as that would not be 'smart.' If you want to stay in the Democrat party you act 'smart.' Because Democrats get drummed out of the party for taking their own thoughts too far. Just ask Joe Lieberman or Zell Miller, or Tammy Bruce, or--I'm guessing--soon, Orson Scott Card.

The intended message:
Vote! And not for the donkeys with the heads up one anothers' asses.

I am an alaskan woman. i DESPISE palin. She is deceitful and small-minded. Doesn't believe in evolution or global warning, DOES believe in witchcraft and end of days as a good thing.
