Suggestion for McCain

With little time left, we need more Palin. Get her out front and center. Put her in ads.

Even better, buy a half-hour of time directly competing against Obama’s half-hour. And make it all Palin. It will whip him in the ratings. Just let her tell us her story.

“Back in Alaska, there were politicians too who tried to play with your tax money and ruin the economy. I shot them with my moose gun like they were common, filthy meese. Now, I will hunt down everyone responsible for our current financial crisis and shoot them with my moose gun too. That’s just common sense, doggonit.”

At the end of her statements, McCain can run an audio clip of him saying, “I’m John McCain, and I’m friends with Palin.” Then we’ll think, “Well, if he’s friends with her, then maybe he’s not as big a jerk as I remember.” That seizes up the base. Palin’s pluck and personality will help with independents. As for the hardcore Democrats, that’s what the moose gun is for.

  1. How McCain can win the election:

    He steps up to the podium.

    “Hey everyone, here’s Sarah!”

    Crowd goes wild.

    “Uh, if you need me, I’ll be over in the corner for a couple of weeks. I’ll just, uh, see you in January.”

    It’s a fool proof plan.

  2. The thing about McCain and Obama is that they really don’t understand economics (nor do most economists, hell, they can’t even agree). We’d be better off with Steve Forbes for the next four years.

    Fear Will Subside”

    Can we have a convention do-over ?

    Or at least have McCain announce that Forbes will be his SecTreas?

  3. No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge – her brother-in-law – an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: “The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist”, “Fillings of Passion”, “The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink”…

  4. Suggestions (or not) from the news (or not):

    “I was depressed last night so I called Lifeline.
    Got a call center in Pakistan.
    I told them I was suicidal.
    They got all excited and asked if I could drive a truck.”

    A Grandson came to visit his grandparents, and he noticed his grandfather sitting on the porch, in the rocking chair, wearing only a shirt, with nothing on from the waist down.

    “Grandpa, what are you doing? Your weenie is out in the wind for everyone to see!” he exclaimed. The old man looked off in the distance without answering.

    “Grandpa, what are you doing sitting out here with nothing on below the waist?” he asked again.

    The old man slowly looked at him and said, “Well….last week I sat out here with no shirt on, and I got a stiff neck. This is your grandma’s idea.”

  5. Wow, this thread is so off topic that I’m not sure you could find your way back. Funny, slightly off color but funny. One is afraid to ask if some of the comments are autobiographical. It’s a rhetorical observation (no answers needed, please).

    Sarah Palin should do a 15 or 30 minute infomercial on how high gas and food prices are linked to political choices made by Democrats. Perot did such a talking head with flip charts infomercial which the “experts” at the networks chortled at. Guess what? Perot got higher ratings than the World Series.

    Sarah Palin is an expert on energy which has a lot to do with high gas and food prices. As follows:

    Why are fuel prices so high?

    Because the Democrats and their environmentalist friends want gas prices to be high so we’ll move to alternative fuels, but we’re not there yet. Never mind, they say. So everyone suffers….

    Sarah Palin, as Governor stopped the squabbling that had taken place for 30 years, got a new bidder on the natural gas pipeline and signed the papers just before becoming VP candidate. The pipeline will be bringing natural gas to the “thirsty lower 48” as soon as it’s built.This project and off-shore drilling and, solar, biodiesel and all of the above should be fast-tracked as if we were at war, which we are with the Axis of oil.

    Sarah Palin also raised the amount of royalties citizens get from the oil companies, $1,200 for each citizen. Our state treasuries would swell. And, can you imagine getting a check for drilling off our coasts? If people knew that they’d get royalties, they’d really get on the case of the environmentalists especially when oil is being used as a weapon against us by our Islamicist and Communist (Chavez) and Fascist (Putin) enemies. Lower gas prices and landing one on Putin’s nose, a win-win situation.

    High food prices. In his first debate, McCain announced he was against the corn ethanol subsidy but he didn’t connect the dots. Who cares? We should care, because corn is fed to beef and pigs and when using it as fuel becomes more profitable, corn is diverted to the more profitable use and food prices go up. High food prices are also linked to high gas prices because truckers have to drive to bring food to your local market.

    Then, after this infomercial, she should do one on cutting funds for teapot and Gene Autry museums and all the other wacky accretions to the national budget. The excuse is always given that these are small expenditures, but they grow, and everyone knows that saving small sums can have a big impact on the family budget.

  7. My idea for a Sarah Palin infomercial on kitchen table issues around the issue of energy was published in pajamas media comments and on my blog:
    sandrabarracuda.wordpress.com on October 6.

    I made the point that Ross Perot did such an economics infomercial and got higher ratings than the World Series game on that night — and that was before Tivo.

    To me, blogging is putting messages in a bottle and hoping someone reads them. It would be nice to get credit and the whole idea put out there.
