Fisting 4 Brewer

Supporters of Gov. Jan Brewer, from left, Kelli Freeman, Jessica Smith and Mary Murphy pose as World War II icon "Rosie the Riveter" during a rally for Republican Congressional candidate Ben Quayle, at Quayle's campaign headquarters Saturday, Oct. 30, 2010, in Phoenix. (AP Photo/Paul Connors)

Oh, I just thought I'd start your Monday off with this terrifying image of triplet Rosies pumping their biceps (?) for Jan Brewer. And Jan will certainly be elected (technically not "re-elected") tomorrow, much to Sparklemom's and Sparkledad's dismay. Here's Jan cruelly mocking John McCain by doing something he can't do, waving her arms in the air like she just doesn't care (also AP Photo, 10/30):


What's funny (besides an old lady waiving her arms in the air) is that all of the above took place at a Ben Quayle event, because Jan's got her election so locked up that she doesn't even have to campaign for herself. Must be nice! And look at John! Is he shimmying? How adorable. What set this off?

Speaking of Dan, I mean Ben Quayle, there's this looooonnnnng thing in the Washington Post this morning about his campaign, because they just finally noticed it, and it's five pages long (web pages, but still), and it contains absolutely no content whatsoever.  It's basically a rehash of the whole "Dirty Scottsdale" website scandelette, but contains zero analysis and no conclusions, leading one to wonder why they bothered. The article is so "He Said/She Said" that they even title one of the sections just that, in case you hadn't already noticed. Well done, Post!

The woman on stage left looks like she's grabbing at her face to tear it off -- a la Face-Off -- I fear for whatever horrible monster/alien being lies beneath.

Princess, do you remember awhile ago when there was a punch-up at WaPo newsroom between an old-time editor & a journalist?

The journalist had paired with Monica Hesse (writer of the Dirty Ben piece) to create some listie thingie. Or something.

Well. Editor said her contribution was most vapid thing he'd read in all his many years as an editor & I guess the (male) journalist felt he had to defend her honor.

I ALWAYS regret reading anything by her. She's their writer-with-her-finger-on-the-pulse.

PS - Arizona. So pretty. So wrong.

I cant tell you how GOOD it felt to vote against this woman. Early voting rocks.

But srsly, those three women? gack. flacid pasties in red lipstick, so hideous. It does seem to be the Scottsdale 'look' carefully cultivated yet horrendous.
