Protecting the Herd

Ladies and gentlemen of the Treehouse, we’d like to offer you the  latest from our very own Treehouse Poet Laureate… The Bard of Murdock.

In private you may be a cur,
A slave to passion or liqueur,
But weasels acting weasely
Should not be seen so publicly.

You’ll never raise a question mark
Attacking Ryan like a shark,
Or tearing Boehner bit from bit;
But if you tweet, you are a twit. (more…)

Analyzing the Palin E-Mails – *Bumped* to add comments or updates from stories

The same media that finds itself loath to search for the original birth certificate of a sitting President…the same media that shows such little interest in the academic records of that same president, however, wants your help in digging up dirt on an undeclared candidate.  The Washington Post is soliciting readers to help them ‘analyze and contextualize’ over 24,000 e-mails to and from former Governor Sarah Palin to be made public this Friday.

A shout went out today from The Fix  to “Help Analyze the Palin E-mails”. (more…)

Sarah Palin Tour Day 7…The Rules of Roadkill

It’s been a tough week for the Left.  If they didn’t have enough trouble controlling their Weiner issues…now they’ve been driven to literal incontinence by Sarah Palin.  Just try Googling “Sarah Palin is scary”, and you’ll get almost seven million results!  Proof the leftists are soiling themselves in abject terror over the possiblily of a Palin run. 

While the press continues to regale us with lists of her shortcomings, I thought I’d toss in a few of my own as well. (more…)

Sarah Palin, Media Genius…Tour Day 6

Sarah Palin’s been busy teaching her fellow Republicans a thing or two about how to create media “buzz”.  After politely declining an invitation to the New Hampshire Primary Debate set for June 13th, and eating breakfast and talking with the locals at the Golden Egg Restaurant in Portsmouh NH, Sarah once again boarded her tour bus–or as the boys at CBS like to refer to it….the harrowing caravan of death. 

Let me make one thing perfectly clear.  The police have been escorting Palin’s tour bus throughout each city she visits, however, they are in no way responsible for the media chaos that follows them.  The poor victimized media it would seem, are forced to follow the tour by speeding, tailgating, cutting off other cars, blasting through roundabouts, and passing on the right in order to keep up.  They say they have no other choice.  (Apparently not receiving an itemized schedule will absolve you of all guilt regarding the obeyance of traffic laws and public safety.)  Hey, it must be tough keeping up with a large and colorfully painted bus that’s not exactly speedy and decorated with the American flag!

Sarah Palin…Now She’s Crazy Brilliant!

As day five of the One Nation tour concludes, we find the meme of Sarah the stupid somehow shifting to one of Sarah the publicity hound.  She’s “crazy brilliant” in her manipuplative use of the press to further her need for attention.  Perhaps the press now realize how completely stupid they made themselves look with their inane tales of aggrievement?  Perhaps not.  Many papers have gone so far as to relegate their Palin coverage to the entertainment section.  You see, she’s not a ‘real’ candidate, she knows frighteningly little about policy matters, however, she sure knows the tricks of celebrity.  One paper goes so far as to cast Sarah and her daughter Piper as a pair of conniving grifters promoting Mommie Dearest at the expense of a childhood education.

Sarah Palin’s “Counterintuitive Secret Publicity Bus Tour”…Day Four

The media, ever striving to frame the dialogue in as disparaging and dismissive of terms as possible, has rebranded the “One Nation” tour as the “Counterintuitive Secret Publicity Bus Tour”.  These pampered paparazzi, so used to having their every whim catered to with assigned seats on airplanes, free meals and transportation to pre-announced events, have seen their world turned upside down.  They know they need Palin more than she needs them.  So, ever hungry for ratings, and ever eager to please their network bosses, they are forced to reluctantly follow in her exhaust.  Why…it’s journalism’s equivalent to the Trail of Tears!  I’ll admit it.  I haven’t had this much enjoyment since hearing the Supreme Court rule on Bush v. Gore in 2000. (more…)

OMG! Sarah Palin Is Going to Kill One of Us With Her Bus Tour of Death…

It’s Day 3 of the “One Nation” tour, and after visiting the Gettysburg Battlefield, the bus wound it’s way through Pennsylvania with reporters trying to keep up.  By the time Palin’s big bus pulled into Philadelphia around noon, there was already a mob of reporters waiting for her in the wilting heat.  

According to CBS News, “Sarah Palin’s bus tour treats reporters like paparazzi.” (more…)

Tony D. Weiner…..Victim of Hacking!

Ponder this:  Is weiner hacking really a victimless crime?  Earlier this week, Anthony D. Weiner was surprised to learn that his Twitter account had been hacked, allowing someone to send a photo under his name to a young college student in Seattle.  According to a lawyer recently retained by Congressman Weiner, “He doesn’t know the person named by the hacker, and we will be consulting on what steps to take next.”

Iowahawk is asking the public to, “Help Me Bring the Weiner Hacker to Justice.” (more…)

Sarah Palin’s Magical Mystery Bus Tour…

Sarah Palin began her bus tour only one day ago, however, by today she already had the press corps following her around like starstruck paparazzi.  Her unconventional bus ride has driven the “lame stream” media to the brink, as they try to guess her every stop and interpret her every motive.  Ingenious plan Sarah…you control your own message.  You’ve taken away the media filters, and you’ve forced them to check your own SarahPAC website for information…information which updates only after you’ve stopped somewhere.

Official Memorial Day Weekend 2011…Comedy Post

Well….the big race is over, and TV seems to have devolved  into golf, black/white WWII movies, and infomercials.   Of course, you can always watch CNN (I’d rather undergo non-anesthetized rectal surgery), or learn about alien UFOs colonizing our Earth on the History Channel.   Yes…I thought you’d see it my way.

Let’s start off with the “Top Ten Things Women Understand But Men Cannot”…… (more…)
