CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time Blog Archive - GOP governors unhappy with Palin press conference « - Blogs from CNN.com

Some Republican governors tell CNN they were not particularly happy with the way the Republican Governors Association press conference was executed Thursday, saying that they agreed to go as a show of GOP governors’ unity — but they ended up feeling like silent Palin supporters, since it was clearly a press conference called for her.

There’s a big problem right there, Republicans, let me tell you, as someone who can definitely be counted to generally be in your camp, and willing to admit it out loud.

You wimps need to cowboy up. Palin is the press’ latest punching bag. By standing beside her, you at least show some backbone. By bitching about it like a goth kid at the prom, you show what a little bitch you are. Seriously, you should be thankful she’s sucking up the oxygen from the waterhead journalists…accelerates their demise.

Crikey. The major commercial playing over the internet now in my adopted hometown is for…The Cult.

They told me this was a metalhead town, and I didn’t listen. Wish I’d moved to San Marcos. Too late.

A small molecule of me wants to go, too, just to see the crowd. I’ve got gun range ear muffs. Prolly will need a gun to knock down the middle-aged meth-heads.

Oil’s falling through the floor becuase Algore has finally, after many long years on the trail, convinced Americans that oil sucks. So…T. Boone is now out of the wind game:

Texas billionaire T. Boone Pickens is revamping his renewable energy campaign in light of falling energy prices, the Associated Press reported Wednesday.

According to the AP, Pickens told a crowd gathered at the Edison Electric Institute convention that part of his reduction in spending on his renewable energy campaign includes placing his West Texas wind farm project on hold for now.

Pickens says the recent fall in gas prices is responsible for the delay in his wind farm project in West Texas, the AP reported.

Let me parse that for you — not enough of you suckers signed up for the Pickens Plan despite all the commercials. Everybody who did? Well, they spent your money on commercials. The great thing about this here snake oil — petrol will go up and down, and there’s some level where Pickens can crank back up and shut back down and do nothing but spend someone else’s money.

Pickens, who revealed his alternative energy plan earlier in the year, also told the U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee that the United States should be able to produce 22 percent of its electrical energy needs using wind-powered electricity, based on Department of Energy estimates.

It’s kind of prideful for a Texan — guy’s figured it out — “Here’s my Green, for your green. You know, I’ve talked in front of the Senators, so I know what I’m talking about.”

What can I say? I’m a salesman — I study this stuff. I’m a Texan, too, and I love the enormous balls of the sham. You can only do that when you’ve got your grandkid’s grandkid’s bajillions in the bank. That’s pretty awesome.
