We have lots of new stories, photos and video at Two Lesbos Goin At It including a bunch of Sarah Palin strippers struting their stuff, a 9 year old Catholic school boy defining homosexual, we’re writing to marry, and the latest on Lindsay Lohan – is there an HBO series in the works with Britney and Paris?
Come join the fun early and often at Two Lesbos Goin At It.
The Bipartisan Troopergate Investigative Committee has found that Sarah Palin “abused her power by violating Alaska Statute 39.52.110a.”
Sarah Palin has been found to have “violated public trust.”
This is a long post. I hope that you will read it. I’ve finally come to terms with who John McCain is and who John McCain has always been. And tell me, who are today’s men of integrity in the leadership of the Republican party? Other than Senator Chuck Hagel from Nebraska, I honestly can’t think of one.
So actually, it’s not just the Christian right catching on, I’m beginning to catch on too. I have been shaking my head thinking that this isn’t the John McCain I had admired for years. Well, maybe John McCain was never the man made by the media. Reality has slapped me in the face seeing how easily we (including me) can be manipulated into accepting the media’s version of a politician’s history.
John McCain first came to Congress in 1982, not long after my father died. My father was a hardcore Republican, retired from the Army after 32 years and one of the best fathers ever. He was honest, hard-working, believed in the American system, made us watch all presidential annoucements (sit still, be quiet, and listen “the president is on”), helped out the neighbors, took time for his kids and he loved my mother dearly. So I always thought that John McCain was like my dad. Although I’m a hardcore Democrat – I always thought that if only a guy like McCain would head the Republican ticket . . . maybe . . . ?
My dad loved Barry Goldwater. Another man that I imagined to be like my father. You see my father – although a good man was also a bigot. He had no time for silly topics like homosexuals or civil rights. People basically needed to fall in line according to his way of thinking. However, good Republican men like Barry Goldwater provided objective evidence that a good man like my father would also change his bigoted opinions as he gained more facts. Unfortunately my father died in 1981. He never said that it was “OK” that I’m a lesbian but before his death I could feel and see the flicker of understanding that was starting to grow.
The photo is is of Sen. Barry Goldwater, on the right, as he poses with his running mate William Miller at the 1964 Republican National Convention in San Francisco. I was 5 years old. Miller was one of the prosecuters at the Nuremberg trials. Miller is the only practicing Catholic to have been nominated for national office by the Republican Party. Mabye McCain picked Sarah Palin because she was baptized a Catholic? And we thought it was her gender.
By the mid-1980’s Republican men like Barry Goldwater were getting fed up with the increasing influence of the crazed far-right Christians on the Republican party. You see my father didn’t have much use for them either.
Anyway, Goldwater eventually became an outspoken defender of gay rights. So even though my father didn’t live to make that change – I know that he would have because of men like Barry Goldwater and John McCain.
I’ve been a little shaken by the extreme nature of John McCain’s campaign. Obviously the man is desperate to be president and that’s why he endangered the country by picking Sarah Palin as his running mate; but in my experience men like Barry Goldwater and my father would have never lowered themselves to this level.
However, when reading a post that I wrote back on September 16 and reading the Times gambling investigation I realized that John McCain was NEVER like Barry Goldwater or my father.
John McCain has always been a cocky, shoot from the hip, gambling, womanizing, self-centered, power-hungry Republican.
Today the papers are full of the stories about John McCain’s history of gambling (up to 14 hours a day at times) and his history of working with the casino lobbyists. Here are a couple of quotes from one of the articles:
“We’ve known for a while of John McCain’s childhood connection to the region, where he lived for a short period when his father was serving a stint here as a Navy submarine commander. But it wasn’t until the results of a New York Times investigation were published earlier this week that we learned the extent of McCain’s involvement with another mainstay of eastern Connecticut culture, our casinos.”
“Of course more troubling than the disclosures in The Times story this week of McCain’s gambling in a Connecticut casino was the suggestion that he used his position as chairman of the Indian Affairs Committee to help lobbyists working to stop a third tribal casino in Connecticut.”
Now the big question is will McCain’s gambling ties hurt him with the Christian right-wingers. In fact, check out this article from a CBN (Christian Broadcasting Network) blog which describes the new Democratic National Committee’s ad featuring McCain’s gambling. It’s written by David Brody of The Brody File. Here is how the article ends:
“The DNC knows that McCain’s so called penchant for gambling can hurt him among some social conservatives. It may not play well with other strongly religious voters as well. Indeed, the last thing McCain needs is another problem with the Evangelical base. In this case, the gambling issue could most likely trump the lobbyist issue. I mean it’s not like he’s playing the lottery or bingo or a quick 25 cents slot machine. This is high stakes gambling we’re talking about. Then you throw in the lobbyist angle and you have a dangerous credibility issue. Will voters buy it and will it stick? Does this bother you?”
Here is the DNC video. A link was provided in the Christian Broadcast Network blog entry:
What follows is my post from September 16, 2008. Let’s just hope that the Christian Right is also waking up to the man we’ve all called an American hero.

“Suppose Barack Obama had dumped a crippled wife and married a beer heiress one month after the divorce. Don’t you think he wouldn’t have been tripped up by such a scandalous past? The Republicans would have had a field day mocking his character. But John McCain’s tawdry personal history is rarely mentioned.”
Quote From CHICAGO SUN-TIMES COLUMN SEPTEMBER 16, 2008 by Mary Mitchell/Sun-Times
John McCain with the family he left
Actually, from the dates that I’ve seen, McCain obtained a marriage license to marry Cindy before the divorce was final . . . heaven forbid we talk about that with the family values crowd.
McCain did not sue his wife for divorce until Feb. 19, 1980. McCain obtained an Arizona marriage license with Cindy on March 6, 1980, while still legally married to his first wife. The divorce was granted April 2, 1980, and he wed Cindy “My Outfit Cost $300,000” Hensley in a private ceremony on May 17, 1980.
Friends of the McCains such as Nancy and Ronald Reagan were not happy with what John McCain did to his first wife. Cleary the Reagans had good reason to feel this way.
Here is what John McCain’s been quoted as saying about meeting Cindy.
She was lovely, intelligent and charming, 17 years my junior but poised and confident. I monopolized her attention the entire time, taking care to prevent anyone else from intruding on our conversation. When it came time to leave the party, I persuaded her to join me for drinks at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. By the evening’s end, I was in love.”
But he WAS MARRIED with small children at home at the time of this romantic encounter. Shorter version of story: I was a dirty old man (as I still am) husband and father. One night I got really horny when I saw this girl almost young enough to be my daughter. So I immediately asked her to go to a hotel with me. I thought it was the usual one night stand but when I found out she was rich I decided to dump my wife and kids.
I also don’t get why no one speaks of Cindy McCain’s history as a drug addict stealing from a medical charity. The woman is RICH and well-connected. She didn’t have to steal. The fact that she’s a recovering addict really is no big deal – I mean Sarah Palin’s teenage son is apparently a recovering addict – in the scheme of things.
BUT CINDY MCCAIN IS A RICH THIEF STEALING FROM A CHARITY.
Some say that Democrats should not talk about Cindy McCain’s history of drug addiction. Fine. Can we talk about having the first admitted thief as First Lady?
My in-laws go on and on with their FOX News induced claim that Michelle Obama doesn’t love America.
Yet, we know very little about the made-up tranny mess Cindy McCain and her history of drug addiction and stealing from A MEDICAL CHARITY! In fact, I’m not sure that the in-laws even know about Cindy McCain’s past.
Guess it all comes down to this . . . if you’re the party of family values you can head your ticket with a guy who left his crippled wife for a trophy millionare tranny mess (also a thieving drug addict) and then top off your ticket with the mother of not only a pregnant teenage daughter but of a recovering addict teenage son . . . and your family values crowd won’t even notice . . .
Hey, but if you’re a politician who supports a family like mine (2 moms and a boy) . . . the “family values” folks won’t be able to vote for you.
All I can say is that McCain and Palin are the best advertisement yet for some form of government other than representational democracy.
Are Civics/Government classes mandatory in any state’s public educational system?
John McCain and His Blonde Rich Young Trophy Wife
What are the McCain people thinking? Sarah Palin screws up her interview with Katie Couric so they send her back but this time with her daddy at her side to hold her hand? It makes Palin look so incompetent. I can’t imagine having a bad day as the lead attorney in a trial and then having my boss come sit by my side and interject when he thinks I’m screwing up again. Or even worse, he’d tell the judge and jury what I really meant by my rambling opening statement the day before. Yes, that jury is really going to trust me after that.
This second interview with Couric will only fool the same fools who plan on voting for McCain anyway , i.e., 1) wealthy doesn’t want any chance of increased taxes, 2) Crazy Right Religious Holy-Roller Voter, or 3) identity voter, I’m dumb so I vote dumb.
What if something happens to McCain? Will the McCain folks just keep going Weekend at Bernie’s style?
According to the Philedelphia Enquirer,
“Palin’s joint appearance last night with running mate John McCain on The CBS Evening News With Katie Couric was a public-relations disaster, conveying the impression of a father coming to the defense of his naïve daughter who had gotten into trouble at school.”
He couldn’t help interrupting a question asked to her, and he went on a bit before realizing the boo-boo: “I’ll let Gov. Palin speak for herself.”
When she did, she said this: “Not only am I ready but willing and able to serve as vice president with Sen. McCain if Americans so bless us and privilege us with the opportunity of serving them, ready with my executive experience as a city mayor and manager, as a governor, as a commissioner, a regulator of oil and gas.”
And now, after exposing herself to a total of three TV questioners (the third was Fox News’ Sean Hannity), she shows up with her running mate. It was impossible not to draw the impression that he was there to make sure she didn’t falter again.
And in the Enquirer’s comments, “By the way you forgot to mention how she turned to look at him when she spoke a guess seeking her dads approval.”
Rational thinking independent voters are going to run to Obama in droves. I can’t imagine what’s in store for us Thursday if McCain is still playing to his “base.”
Oh, one last thing – some classic projection. Beth Shaw over at www.rightpundits.comis so tired of Obama that “his voice grates” when she hears him. As an avid (or is that rabid?) McCain voter she knows political manipulation when she sees it, “There’s obvious hope that they (the Obama campaign) can take the election through a manipulation of the people they believe to be too dumb to see the game they are playing.”
Ok – so now I totally get the idea of projection.
Katie Couric: Over the weekend, Gov. Palin, you said the U.S. should absolutely launch cross-border attacks from Afghanistan into Pakistan to, quote, “stop the terrorists from coming any further in.” Now, that’s almost the exact position that Barack Obama has taken and that you, Sen. McCain, have criticized as something you do not say out loud. So, Gov. Palin, are you two on the same page on this?
Sarah Palin: We had a great discussion with President Zardari as we talked about what it is that America can and should be doing together to make sure that the terrorists do not cross borders and do not ultimately put themselves in a position of attacking America again or her allies. And we will do what we have to do to secure the United States of America and her allies.
Couric: Is that something you shouldn’t say out loud, Sen. McCain?
John McCain: Of course not. But, look, I understand this day and age of “gotcha” journalism. Is that a pizza place? In a conversation with someone who you didn’t hear … the question very well, you don’t know the context of the conversation, grab a phrase. Gov. Palin and I agree that you don’t announce that you’re going to attack another country …
Couric: Are you sorry you said it?
McCain: … and the fact …
Couric: Governor?
McCain: Wait a minute. Before you say, “is she sorry she said it,” this was a “gotcha” sound bite that, look …
Couric: It wasn’t a “gotcha.” She was talking to a voter.
McCain: No, she was in a conversation with a group of people and talking back and forth. And … I’ll let Gov. Palin speak for herself.
Palin: Well, it … in fact, you’re absolutely right on. In the context, this was a voter, a constituent, hollering out a question from across an area asking, “What are you gonna do about Pakistan? You better have an answer to Pakistan.” I said we’re gonna do what we have to do to protect the United States of America.
Couric: But you were pretty specific about what you wanted to do, cross-border …
Palin: Well, as Sen. McCain is suggesting here, also, never would our administration get out there and show our cards to terrorists, in this case, to enemies and let them know what the game plan was, not when that could ultimately adversely affect a plan to keep America secure.
Couric: What did you learn from that experience?
Palin: That this is all about “gotcha” journalism. A lot of it is. But that’s okay, too.
Couric: Gov. Palin, since our last interview, you’ve gotten a lot of flak. Some Republicans have said you’re not prepared; you’re not ready for prime-time. People have questioned your readiness since that interview. And I’m curious …
Palin: Yeah.
Couric: … to hear your reaction.
Palin: Well, not only am I ready, but willing and able to serve as vice-president with Sen. McCain if Americans so bless us and privilege us with the opportunity of serving them, ready with my executive experience as a city mayor and manager, as a governor, as a commissioner, a regulator of oil and gas.
McCain: This is not the first time that I’ve seen a governor being questioned by some quote, “expert.” I remember that Ronald Reagan was a “cowboy.” President Clinton was a governor of a very small state that had “no experience” either. (laughter) I remember how easy it was gonna be for Bush I to defeat him. I still recall, whoops, that one. But the point is I’ve seen underestimation before. I’m very proud of the excitement that Gov. Palin has ignited with our party and around this country. It is a … level of excitement and enthusiasm, frankly, that I haven’t seen before. And I’d like to attribute it to me. But the fact is that she has done incredible job. And I’m so proud of the work that she’s doing.
Read Dad’s reply to this email.
I have no idea where this came from or if it’s for real. But it is interesting. The version I got was bold but it screwed up the post if left it that way but that’s the only change. I didn’t get the attachment. Does anyone have it?
hey Dad
Let’s talk later today. Looking for what you think and what you’ve been thinking. Here is mine. Give me the best reasons that I should vote for McCain and tell me if what I’ve found is a load of bull. I’m having trouble thinking it through. Maybe too much CNN & SNL haha Also need to check out what obama might do to small businesses – havn’t had time to do that do you have anything?I’m thinking okay, McCain has done such strange things over the last couple of weeks and Sarah Palin isn’t ready so thought it best to check out Obama’s tax plan for myself.Taxes and taking care of my family is my issue – it’s the only issue as far as I’m concerned. However, McCain is obviously the only choice for national defense. Finally, a war hero as the president – – – – but that won’t pay my bills.
You’d have to make over $250,000 a year for your taxes to increase under the Obama plan. I’ve attached a chart. So this idea that he’s gonna raise taxes on us may not be right – unless your somebody that I’m not – no way I make close to $250,000 a year. I wish!
I’m also looking at gas prices. My taxes didn’t go down much during Bush’s time but gas has gone crazy. So they lowered my taxes by a few dollars and then raised the price of gas x 3.
And it ticks me off that the top people at oil companies are getting rich while we are getting robbed at the gas stations.
They had record profits and some CEOs made over $30 million in one year.
When Bush took office the average price of gasoline was $1.56 per gallon. Now it’s $4.07 . I don’t know who is to blame but I know that my tiny tax cut didn’t pay for the out of pocket that I have in gas.
Do you think that the numbers from the Census adjusted for inflation are right? I’m not sure how this works but it looks like most of us lost more than $2,000 a year in income since Bush has been in office. That makes since because at work we’re cutting back cutting back – asking to pay more of our own health insurance. While prices have gone up up up, work gives me less less less. Dad, is the Washington Times an okay sourc? Aren’t they conservative? Maybe I’m wrong if so discount this story – read title=”http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/aug/27/household-incomes-flat-during-bush-administration/” href=”http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/aug/27/household-incomes-flat-during-bush-administration/”>this story from the Washington Times. the country has lost jobs for the last 7 months and house values are zomming down.I know my house is worth lots less now. We wanted to move when Tom hit 6th grade but I don’t think we could pay off the mortage with what’d we’d get.
Here is the Obama tax thing in a nut shell – Looks like my taxes would go down. I’d have to make over $250,000 to get an increase.
Other stuff I found and it is making me lean against the party. I just can’t keep going backwards financially . Maybe you have to be rich for it to work for you. I’m I off here?
Exxon has had record profits. They booked $11.7 billion JUST IN one quarter. Here is an article on it:
http://money.cnn.com/2008/02/01/news/companies/exxon_earnings/
Last year, the CEOs of the 15 largest oil companies took home a total of $512.9 million, averaging over $34 million each. The top earner of $95.1 million was Bill Greehey, top executive of Valero Energy, the la…you can read more here

And there you have it. Everything that Sarah Palin said after the presidential debate last night.
Please check out number 7 of the comments and note that there are links to Palin’s church, to the Master Commission site of the Wasilla church and to the video of Palin’s speeech on June 8 to the Master Commission students.
We need God taking over our education system! – In this new video, available only as of September 23, 2008, Sarah Palin is shown accepting a special supernatural protection from witchcraft from Kenyan pastor Thomas Muthee, who also promoted Palin’s campaign for Governor as a way to infiltrate the government with the right wing religious agenda of the Assembly of God. Boo! Crazy!
This is Thomas Muthee with Sarah Palin at the Wasilla Assembly of God in October, 2005, where he prayed over Palin and called upon Jesus to put Palin into the governor’s seat and beyond. Muthee also prayed for Jesus to protect Palin from “the spirit of witchcraft.” The video archive of that startling sermon was scrubbed from Wasilla Assembly of God’s website.
Here is a transcript and the video:
Thomas Muthee
October 11, 2005In a moment, I’ll be asking you that we pray for Sarah, and I’ll tell you the reason why. When we talk about transformation of a community, we are talking about God invading seven areas in our society. Let me repeat that one more time. When we talk about transformation of a society, a community, it’s where we see God’s Kingdom infiltrate, influence seven areas in our society.
Number one is the spiritual aspect of our society. Mainly, the church for a long has just concentrated on that dimension, whereby we simply want people saved, we want them to go to heaven, we want them delivered, and that’s it. But I’ll tell you something: if all we do is come to the church and get people saved and then they go, I don’t think much will happen in our society.
So the second area whereby God wants to penetrate in our society is in the economic area. The Bible says the wealth of the wicked is stored up for the righteous. It is high time that we have top Christian businessmen, businesswomen, bankers, you know, who are men and women of integrity, running the economics of our nations. That’s what we are waiting for. That’s part and parcel of transformation. If you look at the Israelites, you know, that’s how they won. And that’s how they are, even today. When we will see that, you know, the talk transport us in the lands. We see, you know, the bankers. We see the people holding the paths. They are believers. We will not have the kind of corruption that we are hearing in our societies.
So we go to the third area, it’s in the area of politics. Tell your neighbor, “politics.” Do you know what I discovered? This is funny. The people who actually split churches, they have the gift of politics, but they are exercising it in the wrong place. That’s what I came to know. There are people who are wired to politics because God wants to take the political, you know, dimension of our societies. And those people should be prayed for. That’s why I was, you know, I was so glad to see Sarah here. We should pray for her, we should back her up. And, you know, come the day of voting, we should be there, not just praying, we should be there. And I’m saying this because that’s what I’m telling our church. I’m telling them that we need this in Parliament. In here is what you call Congressmen, you know, you know, the, the Governors, we need the bretheren right inside there. Is anybody hearing me?
You know, because who will change the laws of the lands? The problem is do we just pray, but we do nothing about it. If the believers had not done something in this country, your president would not be in office today. Yes or no? Am I right?
Number three, or number four, it’s the area of education. We need believers who are educationists. If we had them, today we would not be talking about the Ten Commandments being kicked out of the church, I mean out of our schools. They would still be there. One of the things that you, you know, I would love you to know, I’m a child of revival of the Seventies, and that revival swept through the schools. They are open to preaching, you know, open. Open. Wide open. You go to any school, there is what we call Christian Union. Christian Union is nothing more but a bunch of kids that are born again, spirit-filled, tongue-talking, devil-casting. Is anybody hearing me? All over the country! Is anybody hearing me?
We need God taking over our education system! Otherwise, we, if we have God in our schools, we will not have kids being taught, you know, how to worship Buddha, how to worship Mohammed, we will not have in the curriculum witchcraft and sorcery. Is anybody hearing me?
The other area is in the area of media. We need believers in the media. We need God taking over the media in our lands. Otherwise we will not have all the junk coming out of, you know, coming out of the media. And not only that, we need God t___ [period of silence in video]. Why can’t we have our living church in Hollywood? Guess what will happen. If we have a living church right in Hollywood, we would not have all the kind of pornography that we are having. Is anybody hearing me?
And the last area is in the area of government. Hello? We need believers there. We need men and women of integrity. You know, as the Secretaries of State. We need them right there. People that are born again, spirit filled, people who know God, and people who are serious with God.
So in a moment if you do not mind, I’ll ask, you know, even before I go to do this thing, you know, I’ll ask Sarah, would you mind to come please? Would you mind? Come, please. Let’s all stand up, and let’s hold hands all over this house. Come, Pastor, come.
[Sarah Palin comes to the stage in front of the congregation. Sarah Palin bows her head stretches her forearms forward and places the palms of her hands upward. Thomas Muthee lays hands on Sarah Palin’s head. Pastor Ed Kalnin and unidentifed man lay hands on Sarah Palin’s shoulders.]
Thank you, Jesus. Let’s all pray. Let’s pray for Sarah. Hallelujah! Come on, hold your hands up and raise them. Hold them and raise them up here! Come on, talk to God about this woman! Come on, talk to God about this woman we declare favor from today. We say favor, favor, favor! We say praise my God! We say grace to be rained upon her in the name of Jesus. My God, you make your judgement, you make room. You make ways in the desert, and I’m asking you today, we are asking you as the body of Christ in this valley, make a way for Sarah, even in the [inaudible]. Make her way my God. Bring finances her way, even in the campaign in the name of Jesus, and above all give her the personnel, give her men and women that will back her up in the name of Jesus. We want righteousness in this state. We want righteousness in this nation. Because you say [inaudible] in the name of Jesus. Our Father, use her to turn this nation the other way around. Use her to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to the fathers so that the curse that has been there long can be broken. In the name of Jesus. Father, we thank you today. We come in the hindrance of the enemy, standing in her way to there. In the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus! Every form of witchcraft, it will be rebuked in the name of Jesus. Father, make her way now. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Let’s all be seated.
[Sarah Palin returns to her seat.]
The woman simply is nuts. This video is amazing. A potential VP being annointed by a witch exorcist.We also have the video of Sarah Palin at the church this summer when she claims that Muthee’s praying over her helped her win the election for Governor.
Check out the earlier article of ours about Palin and the video of Palin speaking about the importance of Muthee’s praying over her.
Please invest 12 minutes of your time to watch this video about the national and global farce of Sarah Palin as VP.
In response to Palin’s supporters’ claim that Palin’s experience is similar to other VPs here is an exhaustive comparison of Governor Palin’s experience as compared with every other Vice President in U.S. history.
Pass it on to your conservative friends to drive them crazy.
Palin’s Experience in Just 12 Minutes
Andrew Sullivan sums it up this way:
The Palin nomination is without historical precedent for her total lack of any alient qualifications as well as her refusal to engage the press in any meaningful way in a national election campaign. Truly surreal and utterly without precedent. Just listen to Lessig go through the history of the vice-presidents. Palin’s candidacy is a national and global farce.
Go to Two Lesbos Goin At It to read the actual script from the film “Who’s Nailin Paylin.” Yes – you read it right. And you thought porn movies are made without scripts, didn’t you?

Palin Posing with John Birch Society Article
It’s an article on the “Con Con Call.” I’ve read the article. It’s a drawn out sneaky snake novel type article claiming that a states’ conference to be held back in the 90’s was actually a secret squirrel plot to call a Constitutional Convention and take away rights from the people and the states.
