WaPo: Sarah Palin and her onetime fans on the right: It’s so over (*pic warning*)

[spanone]

Last edited Thu Jan 29, 2015, 01:01 AM - Edit history (1)

Sarah Palin’s odd, rambling speech last weekend before an audience of committed conservative activists in Des Moines has many influential voices on the right saying that the time has come to acknowledge that the romance has gone cold and the marriage is dead.

This is despite the fact that the 2008 GOP vice-presidential nominee told reporters upon her arrival at the event that she is “seriously interested” in running for president in 2016.

Her address was a 34 1/2 -minute roller coaster ride of cliches, non sequiturs and warmed-over grievances. One line that stood out: “GOP leaders, by the way, you know, ‘The Man,’ can only ride ya when your back is bent. So strengthen it. Then The Man can’t ride ya.”

The critiques have been devastating — and those are the ones from her friends.

(video @ link) it's 1 minute of insanity.

1. Did the Lord of Teleprompter Karma do palin in? LOL..

I wish this were it.. little ms mooseburger has a way of coming back like a zombie.

Mahalo spanone

[spanone]

2. Mahalo Cha!!!, i think the depths of her ignorance is astonishing even to her staunchest fans

she doesn't even try to appear coherent....such a loser.

[Cha]

5. My burning questions are.. what is she on and.. Is rehab the next step for

her chronic diarrhea of the mouth?! Sorry! ewwww..

[spanone]

11. the video at the link is frightening.... possibly 'a heartbeat away'

[Oldtimeralso]

38. Palin's chronic diarrhea of the mouth,

Is combined in her case with constipation of the brain (you might need an electron microscope to find the brain, if you need to verify this statement).

[3catwoman3]

95. There's a word for that -

- logorrhea.

[mac56]

102. As Robin Williams would say:

A vowel movement.

[Turbineguy]

19. That kind of ignorance is learned.

It can't be natural.

[pinboy3niner]

45. The Teleprompter took one look at her prepared speech and committed suicide

[Cha]

46. Shut its helpful self Down!

[underpants]

49. It never overcame the shame of not becoming a roadside traffic sign like his brother

[elehhhhna]

51. the tele has ways of shutting itsself down

When you assault the English languages

[Chiyo-chichi]

74. Clippy tried to help, then shut her down

[raven mad]

88. Cha, you have just insulted my mooseburger that's in the freezer!

LOL! Sarah wouldn't know a moose from a wolverine unless it bit her in the ass or someone shot it for her. I despise this woman. And her spouse. Low-lifes.

That aside, I like mooseburger, especially grilled or in meatloaf!

[Cha]

104. Sorry, raven mad.. I didn't think about that when associating it the telepromter queen.. lol

I was enjoying the exchange you and bravenek had the other day about your experiences in Alaska.

[raven mad]

130. I so LOVE this 'Toon!

Stolen & saved for posterity!

[Cha]

134. It is pretty dead on!.. Luchovich!

Make it viral in Alaska!

From Kauai to Alaska

[raven mad]

136. You do know what Alaskans call Hawaii, don't you?

LA! (Lower Alaska, especially in February!)

[Cha]

138. Didn't know that.. but, I know there's a lot of commuting between here and there!

Friends are always talking about going fishing in Alaska in the Summertime~ How awesome are these two diverse states whose inhabitants like to trade off different season?

from the Aloha Lower Alaska!

[cwydro]

97. If anyone needs a mugwort douche

She does!

(lounge thread reference here.)

[TRoN33]

107. K&R!

[Cha]

108. Luckovich on palin's troubles..

Rofl

[pinboy3niner]

118. SNORT!

That's the waffle iron...

[Cha]

133. LOLOLOLOLOL

No more smart talk for you, missy!

[alcibiades_mystery]

3. ROFL

He added that “maybe her early critics saw some fundamental character flaw — some harbinger of things to come — that escaped me.”

Yes, we saw some fundamental character flaw. To wit, she's an obnoxious and arrogant moron.

[Cha]

6. And, she's only gotten worse when unplugged.. who ever saw that coming?!!!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

23. facepalm......if this guy wasn't a CONservative, he might be capable

Of recognizing that "her early critics" were the people CONservatives hate: educated, intelligent Liberals. The ones who've been right on every issue where CONservapukes have been and continue to be WRONG.

"Ohhh, I must have missed something." gah!

[onehandle]

4. Idiot weathergirl without script revealed. nt

[Archae]

7. I just read a new conspiracy theory tonight on another message board about this.

The "theory" is that her teleprompter was hacked by...someone.
Obama/North Korea/The Illuminati/the Jews/whoever.

I posted this:

"The simpler and more valid answer is, Palin is an idiot."

No answer yet.

[Cha]

10. The Teleprompter made her do it.. she's not smart enough to recover on her own. Thanks Obama.

[hifiguy]

96. The simplest answer that accounts for everything

is always the best one.

[KingCharlemagne]

8. Michelle Bachmann and Joni Ernst are no doubt hearing the whisper of

La Rochefoucauld:

"There is something in the misfortunes of our friends that does not deeply displease us."

[Cha]

9. Brawaaaaa... check out Rich Lowry's assessment after the 2008 VP Debate.. lol

"Cooke’s assessment was a far cry from what National Review editor Rich Lowry had to say about Palin’s performance in the vice presidential debate, shortly after her dazzling national debut on the stage of the Republican National Convention in 2008: “It was so sparkling it was almost mesmerizing. It sent little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the living rooms of America.”

[COLGATE4]

12. I'll bet you he typed that assessment

with one hand.

[BlueCaliDem]

14. OMG!

And I bet you're right!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

24. LOLOLOLOLOL!

WIN!

[SammyWinstonJack]

62. LOL!

[freshwest]

16. Her rabbling rousing KKK style southern rallies is why I cut off cable for good in 2008.

Seen too much of it growing up. Talk about a flashback...

[Major Hogwash]

17. She is sort of "tingly" in a way.

The same way a tooth that is going bad is "tingly".

[Cha]

18. Here's what someone named Matt Lewis is saying now.. about Ms thing..

“In hindsight I regret contributing to the premature deification of Sarah Palin,” columnist Matt Lewis wrote Wednesday in the Daily Beast.

[Major Hogwash]

36. What cracks me up is how she is totally oblivious to how inane she sounds to the rest of us.

Like those times when she says, "Ooops" and then acts surprised that she messed up like a little girl.
It is so annoying now that I can't believe her handlers haven't told her to knock off that bad habit yet.

[Cha]

41. Her "handlers" should tell her that her grifting days are over if she doesn't get help

for chronic diarrhea of her mooseburger hole.

[Number23]

125. This is EASILY my favorite thread this month

She is sort of "tingly" in a way.

The same way a tooth that is going bad is "tingly".

[herding cats]

31. It was true love...until it wasn't.

When I get the time I want to do some research into how many are on record as adoring Palin in 2008, and then start a cross reference to those who denounce her in 2015 and 2016. I know it's small of me, but she and her kind being given relevancy by the GOP really should be tossed back in their faces.

[Adrahil]

50. Well, I respect those who change their mind more than...

Those still riding that horse. Many of my Repug relatives still adore her.

[rhett o rick]

13. For those of you that haven't come to grips with the idea that the Oligarch Rulers are

in control, let me offer this. Ms. Palin was not a good candidate for VP. In fact Idiot McCain was not a good candidate for President. The Oligarch Rulers are not stupid. They have the best brains money can buy. Then why do you think they allowed McDipShit and Palin to be the Republican candidates?

[SidDithers]

26. I don't know, rick. Why did the Oligarch Rulers allow them to be candidates?...

Spell it out for us. What exactly are you asking us to believe?

Sid

[NanceGreggs]

43. If you weren't such a weak-minded authoritarian ...

... water-carrying flunky for the 1% willing to ignore the signs of impending doom by denying that the Oligarch Rulers are in control of ALL political parties, "rick" wouldn't have to explain it to you.

You would just KNOW. Just like "rick" KNOWS. Asking someone to explain what they KNOW is proof positive that you DON'T KNOW, which means you JUST DON'T get it - because if you "got it", you wouldn't have to ask.

So don't ask. Just accept what it is you DON'T KNOW and DON'T GET and lockstep behind those who obviously DO KNOW because they GET IT - and you don't.

I hope that clears things up for you.

[Frosty1]

44. Great to see you back Nance

[SidDithers]

59. Thanks. Now I've got it...

Sid

[FSogol]

68. You nailed it. n/t

[rhett o rick]

71. Now if I had said that I'd get the boot.

I fully understand the desperate need to believe we still live in a constitutionally controlled democratic republic, even when it obvious we are not. And those that are desperately hanging on to that dream have no arguments, they just rely on mockery.

Those that side with the 1% think that maybe there is some validity to trickle-down. They have not learned from history.

[Long Drive]

87. Mockery

That sums it up Rick, although I do not for one second believe they do so because they need to believe we still live in a constitutionally controlled democratic republic.

[rhett o rick]

93. I hear you.

[sabrina 1]

112. Not to worry, Rhett. Most of us get it. In fact, what must be a frightening number of Americans are

finally getting it.

The gig is up and the desperation is palpable.

When you're right, you're right!

[rhett o rick]

114. I think more Americans are getting it than we see via the Corp-Media.

Sadly, some Democrats are holding onto their denial blankie like Linus.

[NanceGreggs]

137. "Now if I had said that I'd get the boot."

Really? Are you implying that I am somehow able to post things here that you are not?

Is it because I am a water-carrier for the 1% who own, operate, and control this board?

Truth is you call other posters authoritarians, Third Wayers, DINOs, etc. on a daily basis - and yet you're still here.

I think that you think that anyone who challenges you're ridiculous assertions is to be labelled as "siding with the 1%", simply because it's an easier response than actually backing up those ridiculous assertions.

You were asked - repeatedly - to explain how and why the Oligarch Rulers "allowed" McCain and Palin to be the GOP nominees.

You obviously can't answer the question - and hiding behind the "I don't have to" nonsense just highlights the fact that you don't have a plausible answer.

Just admit it, and move on,

[rhett o rick]

139. I am very familiar with the games some try to play here. They are always asking questions,

rarely speaking to actual issues.

I am glad you brought up the issue of authoritarianism. I think it's a serious problem in the good ole USofA. Bob Altemeyer wrote a great book, "The Authoritarians", which I recommend and is free on the internetz. It's about people that are raised to blindly obey authority and never question authority. They are generally conservatives and abhor whistle-blowers, investigative journalists, protesters, and anyone that dares to challenge authority. They will defend strong authority figures like the President, and the NSA/CIA Deep State. IMHO they are a great threat to our form of government.

[NanceGreggs]

140. You stated that the Oligarch Rulers "allowed" ...

... McCain/Palin to run as candidates. You then posed the question: "Then why do you think they allowed McDipShit and Palin to be the Republican candidates?"

So someone asked the question - Why did they? - and you refused to answer.

The only one playing games here is you. You make sweeping declarations about "knowing" what's going on behind the scenes, "knowing" about the nefarious doings of the Oligarch Rulers. And whenever someone asks for an explanation, you accuse them of "playing games".

"They are always asking questions, rarely speaking to actual issues."

YOU raised the issue - YOU posed the question. It seems rather silly to be accusing anyone else of game-playing, given those facts.

Why don't you just admit that you don't know what you're talking about? Do you have any understanding of how transparent it is that you don't have any response at all, and that's why you have to constantly come up with excuses as to why you can't back-up any of your ridiculous theories?

As for thinking that all Obama supporters are "authoritarians", another one of your oft-cited theories, taking such a position is both politically ignorant and pathetically naive. The idea that support of a president, a political figure, or a political party is equivalent to "blind obedience" is - well, to put it bluntly - just too fuckin' stupid for words. It is THAT kind of narrow-minded, black-and-white thinking that I expect from our friends on the other side of the aisle. It's downright sad to see it demonstrated on what is supposed to be a "Democratic" website.

[kelliekat44]

58. They were counting on racism alone to win it for them. After winning, Sarah would have been paid

off to step down and take care of her baby.

[rhett o rick]

69. I would love to try to explain it to you, but I know you are not the least

interested. Have a nice day.

[SidDithers]

70. No, really. I am interested...

You've insinuated something. I'd like you to be more clear, please.

Spell it out, rick.

Sid

[rhett o rick]

72. You forgot to include the sarcasm emoticon. nm

[SidDithers]

73. C'mon rick...

you're obviously trying to tell us something.

The Oligarch Rulers are in control. They allowed McDipshit and Palin to run for office. You seem to know why the Oligarch Rulers allowed that to happen.

Please, spell out for us that which is obvious to you, but not to us mere mortals.

Sid

[rhett o rick]

75. Sorry Sid, I am not playing your game. Have a good day. nm

[SidDithers]

79. You started playing games with the nudge-nudge, wink-wink tin-foil in your reply to the OP...

I'm just asking you to finish the game.

No surprise you'd run away, tho.

Sid

[rhett o rick]

80. Now we get to the "you're running away" tactic. Classic. Not that it matters but I'm not running

away, just turning my back. I am very familiar with the game and I will say you are very good. If only you'd put that energy into fighting for Democratic issues and not "housekeeping" (your word, remember)?

Again, have a nice day.

[SidDithers]

81. Conspiracy theories abound...

and tin-foilers never enunciate their theory.

Wonder why that is?



Sid

[LiberalLovinLug]

128. Never? I thought that was the whole point of conspiracy theorists

To explain their theory of events, contrary to the official story. So that then folks like yourself can ridicule it, not because they are wrong, but because for you its fun to bully anyone that doesn't have the State or the majority that are conditioned to accept their theories on their side. You're just sore that Rick is withholding explaining to you the obvious this time. And you still ridicule. Now THAT'S funny.


But its hardly a "conspiracy" that the US is an oligarchy. Which is, as you well know, Rick's point.

Or do you want to argue with the recent study by Princeton University Prof Martin Gilens and Northwestern University Prof Benjamin.

[BeanMusical]

33. It crossed my mind a couple of times.

[BlueCaliDem]

15. Why does it take Republicans *years* to discover what Liberals and Progressives know

from the get-go?

The half-Gov from Alaska is all about self-promotion and money, and she has zero integrity. She's hoping, of course, that she'll draw the sympathy of the simple who'll use their last social security or supplemental security $$$ to keep her wealthy.

The woman is shameless and a true Con - as in, con artist.

[Cha]

21. The Failed Gov of Alaska.. she thought she'd be better grifting without the accountability

of the governorship hanging over her head.

[BlueCaliDem]

84. That's exactly what that was, Cha. The Half-Gov of Alaska wanted to strike while the iron was hot,

and her popularity coming off the 2008 elections had guaranteed her a large group of upset people willing to buy her b.s. which made her an instant millionaire. No amount of Federal gov't pork would have ever gotten her that much in that short period of a time, and she was determined to milk it for everything she could.

[GusBob]

67. This bothers me as well

see post 66

[Blue_Tires]

76. +1000

I read the OP, and my burning question is "What's so different about that Iowa speech compared to *every* other speech she's given since appearing in the national spotlight?"

[BlueCaliDem]

78. I don't see it, either. It's as if she's lost the backing of moneyed interests and has become toxic

in their eyes. They appear to no longer want to be associated with her. Her usefulness has expired because she's pitched the same b.s. at that speech as she has at every other, so the only difference is, the moneyed people who had backed her in order to keep the American people divided - easier to conquer when we're divided - have lost faith in her ability to be their useful idiot.

[herding cats]

20. This is going to be a messy divorce

This is really funny, since I'm on the outside looking in, that is. They think they're going to somehow get rid of the Tea Party darling just because she's bad for their party? I can't decide if I should be laughing hardest over the fact they've just figured this out, or that they think they can put Caribou Barbie in a corner and expect her to stay there. Do they honestly not understand how many of their nutty fringe have been defending her honor since 2008 with a rabid passion? How many of them either want to marry her, sleep with her or be her?

The GOP climbed in bed with the the ignorant Tea Party in private and embraced them with their open arms in public. They became the political equivalent of the most ill advised Hollywood couple, think Jessee James and Sandra Bullock. Everyone with half a brain watching from the outside knew it was an epic disaster just waiting to happen, but the people involved refused to see the obvious so long as they were both getting what they wanted out of the deal at the time. Now they believe they can just split from their public romance none the worse for the experience? Pretend they were never really that into the partner they whispered sweet nothings to, and promised all their dreams were about to come true, that this time it was for real and they were going to own the world together? Now, when their once beloved has become a burden to them they're just going deny the raw passion they proclaimed for them and walk away? I think not!

The Tea Party nutty fringe is not going to go gently into this good night. They'll call out to their right to bear arms brethren, put on their Don't Tread On Me T-shirts, and drape themselves in the American flag. They'll gather up their port-a-potties and bread bags and march on these want to be oppressors! This isn't over yet Republicans, you told them you loved them and now you think you can just spit on the symbol of all the things they stand for and not face the consequences? Well, we'll just see about that!

As for myself, I'm stocking up on popcorn and planning to enjoy the show.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

25. ^

[herding cats]

30. Aww, thank you. I'll share my popcorn.

I know I'm not the only whose been waiting for this moment with bated breath. The Republican's Frankenstein monster is alive and wrecking havoc on the parties chances in 2016. Does it get any better than this?

[BlancheSplanchnik]

37. heeeeeeeee!

It's aliiiive!

Pass the popcorn, please!

[Skittles]

126. excellent analysis

yes INDEED

[nikto]

22. The GOP, while very very drunk, picked her up in a redneck bar, and took her home...

Now it's the next morning, and all they can think of is...


What if she's pregnant?



Hey, it's a metaphor, OK?

[dgibby]

34. And now they want to chew their arms off rather than disturb her! nt

[Blanks]

120. I think she is drunk in the video...

When you compare it to her talking in another of her bat shit crazy speeches that she's made. For example:

She's not slurring her words and stammering in that video (of course it wasn't live), but if you compare the two.

She does ok until she says "status quo" and then she stops pretending to be sober.

[C Moon]

27. I never took her as a serious contender, anyhow. This is not surprising to me.

[sheshe2]

28. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOmygod.

That was frightening spanone.

[rbrnmw]

65. My thoughts exactly sheshe2 when I first heard it

[JDPriestly]

29. I wish that the end of Palin's career marked the close of the Republican nightmare.

But the horror show will continue. Wonder what monsters they will run in 2016.

[SammyWinstonJack]

64. Sen. Bread Bags?

[struggle4progress]

32. Crossin the hiway late last nite

[Spitfire of ATJ]

35. Keep in mind that she was once described as, "The Future of the Republican Party"....

She is.

Just not the way they thought.

[Major Hogwash]

39. At least, thanks for the pic warning!!

[img][/img]

OMG!!!

[vlyons]

40. Palin thinks running for POTUS is not all that different than

running for the Miss Wasilla contest. Just get up there on the stage in the bright lights and strut your stuff. Afterall, she's just as good and interesting as all those other girls, errr contestants, errr politicians. Her real friends are telling her to forget about it. But will she listen? I think not. When there's no money, eventually, the speaker invites will dry up too. She is truly pathetic. I feel sorry for her. I feel sorrier for her family.

[Skittles]

90. I agree with your assessmet but I fail to sympathize with her or or family

they've been whoring for the big bucks for far too long - they need to go

[Marr]

42. One of the funniest public figures this country has ever produced.

An Olympic-sized ego, a 'mean girl' attitude, and what has to be the lowest intellect possible without inviting a professional diagnosis. And her audience is just as dumb.

Watching her work a crowd is like watching a 2 year old lie to another 2 year old. It's sad and funny all at the same time.

[closeupready]

85. That is just about the best characterization of Sarah Palin and her fans I've ever read.

Thanks.

[hifiguy]

98. Pithy, snarky

and dead on.

[Saviolo]

109. Might be fascinating

To see a reality TV show with Sarah Palin and Rob Ford being forced to share the same living space. In the context of having no normal people around them, they may start seeming less funny and more bizarre and sad.

It'd be a real race to the bottom.

[cab67]

124. You nailed it.

I've been trying to verbalize the phenomenon of someone with what appears to be less ability to read and write than George W. Bush having a following, and this is the closest I've seen to a good explanation.

[underpants]

47. “Did I say it that recently?” Kristol said Wednesday

Wow Mr. Wrong keeps his streak alive

[Dirty Socialist]

48. Remember when cons said

We are afraid of her because she is so smart? ROFLMAO!

[PoliticAverse]

52. Eventually people do get tired of being teased. n/t

[madokie]

53. Her man riding your back was the strangest thing I've ever heard

come from anyone short of something you might hear at the house for those who are truly nuts

[spanone]

54. and mccain would have put her a heartbeat away....scary to contemplate

[madokie]

55. Not only would have but tried too

These people are dangerous. 'These people' being republiCONs

[panader0]

106. I read through the replies to see McCain mentioned.

I see him on TV so often, spouting his "wisdom". How can anyone ever believe a word he says when he brought us Palin?

[spanone]

111. AND the media gave him a complete pass on this....and still does...but then, they love sarah

[philosslayer]

61. Its ripped off from a quote by MLK Jr

63. I try to learn something every day, thanks

[Sheepshank]

91. She seems to fuck up, misapply and and misuse many good quotes...it's her talent n/t

[skypilot]

56. Just unbelievable!!

"...“maybe her early critics saw some fundamental character flaw — some harbinger of things to come — that escaped me.”--Matt Lewis.

I don't know this Matt Lewis fellow but I'm guessing that a lot of stuff escapes him.

[3catwoman3]

57. There is a delightful...

...turn of phrase, from a former Palin fan, in the last paragraph of the linked article - "collapse in ignominious pasquenade." How someone with a vocabulary of such sophistication as that writer could have been a Palin admirer is mystifying.

I have a pretty decent vocabulary and I had to look up pasquenade.. I would be shocked if the ex-half-gov knew the word. Ignominious is likely not an ingredient in her word salad either

Damn you both, John McCain and Bill Kristol!

[misterhighwasted]

86. HERE: "ignominious pasquenade"a quote heisted from The History of the Reign of the Emperor Charles 5

The writer only wishes for such a sophisticated vocabulary.

94. Thank you for the information.

Learning more about words is one of my favorite things to do.

[kiri]

135. wonderful help; thanks

[riderinthestorm]

60. Ok, this guy is just being deliberately obtuse

“Having been mercilessly and unjustly pilloried by the media throughout the 2008 campaign, Sarah Palin had a clear choice in its aftermath: She could sober up and prove the buggers wrong, or she could collapse into ignominious pasquinade,” he wrote. “Sadly, she chose the latter. The rest of us should choose to move on.”

Palin was "mercilessly...pilloried" because she was an idiot then and still is now, and it was obvious to anyone with half a brain.

It was completely justified.

Furthermore, if he really felt she had to "sober up" after the 2008 election, then isn't that admitting she was a maniac during the elections?!

The RW conservative punditry trying to have it both ways as usual. Patent bullshit.

[GusBob]

66. When these pundits say; "Maybe Liberals were right about Sarah Palin from the start"

What I hear is: "I am just as stupid as she is, and so are the people who voted for her"

[Diclotican]

110. GusBob

GusBob

I know a few who was sooo for this woman in 2008 - and who have been rather silent after the fact - even if they was mad as hell Palin and McCain was not elected president and vicepresident of USA..

I guess some of them should have deserved a few words from me now...

Diclotican

[Voice for Peace]

77. Just learned a new word: pasquinade

“Having been mercilessly and unjustly pilloried by the media throughout the 2008 campaign, Sarah Palin had a clear choice in its aftermath: She could sober up and prove the buggers wrong, or she could collapse into ignominious pasquinade,” he wrote. “Sadly, she chose the latter. The rest of us should choose to move on.”

and ignominious pasquinade, to boot!

82. She's had only one coherent intelligible somewhat sane speech in her political life

and that was a nasty, ill-mannered, malevolant rant at the Republican Convention. Her image was built on that but since then she's had nothing to say that any sane individual would recognize as a speech.

83. Thanks for the pic warning...

so if the teleprompter shut down on her, maybe TeeVee (nay, ALL) cameras start exploding every time the lanses are pointed in her direction...

We will finally be free of her image. She seems to be more hideous with every appearance... sad flame-out for a wannabe beauty queen. But I don't feel sorry for her in the least, she's finally getting some "comeuppance".

99. The ugly in her soul...

...has been showing of her face for a while now. Sneering and snarling will do that to you.

[2naSalit]

101. That and all the

Rx and booze... they simply highlight the soul-ugly. (Seriously, I think she's an Rx abuser.)

I wonder if she has a reflection in the mirror, that might explain why she can't see it.

89. LOL

He added that “maybe her early critics saw some fundamental character flaw — some harbinger of things to come — that escaped me.”

seriously?

[3catwoman3]

100. No maybe. I was damn certain...

...right from the get go when I asked myself, "Who?" when McCain's VP pick was announced.

[Skittles]

105. I pegged her as a moron the first time she said YOU BETCHYA

ugh

92. She mixed up her speech with her audition script for "Alaskan Bush People".

"Deep in the Alaskan wilderness lives a newly discovered family who was born and raised wild. Billy Brown, his wife Ami and their seven grown children - 5 boys and 2 girls - are so far removed from civilization that they often go six to nine months of the year without seeing an outsider. They've developed their own accent and dialect, refer to themselves as a "wolf pack," and at night, all nine sleep together in a one-room cabin. Simply put, they are unlike any other family in America. "

116. Discovery channel sinks lower still

A couple and their seven grown children sleeping in a one room cabin. No incest going on there...

103. the pic doesn't seem that graphic...

[cyberswede]

113. Good grief

“In hindsight I regret contributing to the premature deification of Sarah Palin,” columnist Matt Lewis wrote Wednesday in the Daily Beast.

He added that “maybe her early critics saw some fundamental character flaw — some harbinger of things to come — that escaped me.”

Christ almighty...her flaws were anything bu subtle. She was a joke from the first minute she opened her mouth.

[Skittles]

129. she looks demented

[Stuart G]

117. It is kind of the "formal end to her"...she has been Coulterized..!!!!

Like Ann Coulter, she will pop up from time to time....Slowly she will realize she has been downgraded. I think that will finally hit when her speaking fees go down. She will talk, of course, but even the right wing has shunted her aside. Fewer invitations to speak, and fewer TV appearances. A mean and vicious person is getting exactly what she deserves....finally...

119. I don't have time to read all 110+ responses

Has any one considered that in her hazy conscientious, standing, speaking and walking demeanor she has actually spilled the beans on the GOP? I think she feels screwed over by them and is trying to let everyone know. I'm not defending Sarah, I have loved my many moments of laughter at her expense. I can't bring myself to listen to the whole speech. I guess I'm trying to look between the gaps.

[Duppers]

121. Dick Cavett just said to Chris Matthews

"The problem with Sarah Palin is that she has no first language."

[spanone]

122. and matthews defended her ignorance...

[ybbor]

123. I am sure it has already been said above...

but she is a fucking idiot!

[rurallib]

127. Wasn't she doing this kind of crap on FUX

when they finally shit canned her? Why should any bagger be surprised that she is a fucking word salad idiot? She's been winging it badly for quite a while.

[ladyVet]

131. If the Republicans are starting to run from Palin...

they must be seriously thinking about winning 2016. Time to dump the shit on the Dems again, and outright steal more of the country.

[smiley]

132. boy, that Tina Fey is good!

she nailed it on that one.
