Palin: Time for intervention?

[NastyRiffraff]

Seriously. This woman is off the rails. Courtesy of the great Juanita Jean

This sucker is 30 minutes long. Fast forward to about the 4 minute mark and listen for a few minutes. If you listen for the whole time, your brain will fall out. No, really.

1. I'd like to try some of what she's been sniffing.

2. How 'bout we don't play along? She's an attention seeking grifter. How 'bout we deprive her?

[Ineeda]

3. I managed 90 seconds of her screeching

of vile, hateful rhetoric.

I used to change the channel or at least hit mute during the campaign. Shoulda done it tonight, too.

4. In the name of great Jehovah and the Continental Congress, shut your mouth already, Sarah

I skipped the intro (as recommended), listened to the first two or three minutes, got as far as the part about Obama hobnobbing with crony capitalists, shortly after the part about the New Deal making the Depression last longer, and stopped listening altogether to this woman's alternate history of the US.

Mrs. Palin: Unlike either one of us, my parents lived through the Great Depression. They told me a very different story about the New Deal and given the choice between the word of my Mom and Dad ans the word of a third rate office seeker who doesn't complete her term as governor, can't answer a general about current events when Charlie Gibson posed them and then has the audacity to call that a gotcha question, I'll take their word over yours every time.

Just one last point while I just mentioned it. That was not a gotcha question Mr. Gibson asked you about the Bush Doctrine. My civics teacher threw questions like that at me when I was in high school, except they were about the Vietnam War instead of the Bush Doctrine, and expected me to answer them. And gee whiz, Mrs. Palin, I've never had a spot on a national ticket. And I've never been reduced to to acting like a teenager unprepared for class on national television, either.

Judging by the brief part I just saw, it was all I could stand, it would seem you're no better prepared six years after you dragged Senator McCain's presidential bid to a halt, drowning in the mud, you're still not prepared to answer questions about current affairs or events of the past that shaped American history.

Now get lost.

- No, let her keep going full-steam. Just turn the sound off......

[calikid]

6. She's trying to mimick Tina Fey, LOL. n/t

[leftieNanner]

7. Dang you, Nasty!

I SWEAR I will NOT click on any stories involving Caribou Barbie and you got me! Every time someone clicks on a story about her, she gets magic internet points. That keeps her in the limelight. It's time for this bimbo ignoramus to go back to the frozen tundra.

[NastyRiffraff]

15. Sorry 'bout that, leftie!

I hope you followed Juanita Jean's recommendation and didn't listen to the whole trainwreck

"Caribou Barbie!" Good one!

[leftieNanner]

17. I could barely get past the introduction...

and I can't take credit for Caribou Barbie. It fits though, doesn't it? Although I think it's disrespectful to Barbie dolls everywhere.

[ActiveTen28]

8. Does she sound drunk?

[The Wizard]

9. This is why

she's a Republican goddess. Chock Full O' Nuts. Thought disorders abound.

[demwing]

10. Are we missing the OP's point?

Of course Palin is illiterate, but in this video she also appears to be hammered beyond coherence.

This goes beyond word saladitis. It's time for a new nickname for Sarah : Malibu Rum Barbie

[NastyRiffraff]

16. Way beyond the word salad...

More like putting the salad ingredients in a blender and pushing the "puree" button, then inhaling the mush and spewing it out through the nose.

[leftieNanner]

18. Malibu Rum is too good for her

I'm thinking maybe "Spinada" Barbie or "Boones Farm Strawberry Hill Wine" Barbie. (Does that show my age?) How about "Pint of cheap vodka in a brown paper bag" Barbie.

[demwing]

19. Thunderbird Barbie? /nt

[leftieNanner]

22. Ripple Barbie!

[Jack Rabbit]

21. That's a possibility

In her case, no one can tell by what she says. That's still nonsense and no worse than then has been heard from her before. Her speech doesn't sound slurred, but she's more animated than usual.

[heaven05]

11. my gripe is

the people clapping, cheering and listening to her. That is what worries me about the gullibility, nay stupidity of the american voter! Why would any reasonable person listen to the ignorance and sheer lunacy of this idiot. To think she would have been the proverbial 'heartbeat away'. Americans dumbed down? For sure. I'm like Jessie Ventura, I' m actively trying to settle my affairs and move the fuck away from this country. Costa Rica has good medical care. I have friends that were born there and american friends that visit often. I don't like the huge american military presence there, but with america being the imperialist power it is in the 21st century, can't be helped. I'll just stay as far away from them as possible. I'm sick of the political absurdity of someone like palin being given a public forum time after time, gun violence present in all communities, hate, racism, homophobia, income equality, unfree press/news media, male fear of gender equality and sheer willful blindness to the lies spewed by the leaders at all levels of government in this country. Sorry, I went off.

[jimlup]

13. Always good technique to start by insulting your host...

Flying over those hills.

You call them mountains.

I'm from Alaska were we have real mountains.

I have to remember that I'm in Colorado.

Don't inhale.

Really a classic sequence. The lady is a gem. We need her to go to as many Republican events as we can. Maybe we should even donate to her efforts. Seriously! What could be more helpful for us than having this drunken idiot campaigning against us?

[YOHABLO]

14. I didn't think they had ''refreshments'' behind stage at these conservative events ... hmmm.

[Fantastic Anarchist]

20. Can we get a TL;DW for those of us who can't stand the looks or sound of her?

TL;DW = Too Long; Didn't Watch

or should I say,

TC;DW = Too Crazy; Didn't Watch
