If Sarah Palin were to walk on stage, begin to weep, vomit, and then shit herself, John Kyl ...

[11 Bravo]

would find an excuse for her, and 20% of the American public would descrbe it as a "cathartic experience" which simply goes to show how "real" she is.

[Maru Kitteh]

1. It would make her "real," and "one of us."

yup.

[Enrique]

2. would roll around in it n/t

[Fire1]

11. He'd have to fight Pat Buchanan for it, first. n/t

[eleny]

3. He'd collect it all, dry it and sell it in small bits as relics

[hlthe2b]

6. "Holy" Shit

:evilgrin:

[hfojvt]

4. What a disgusting fantasy that is.

I would certainly feel bad for anybody who did that. They must be very sick and also humiliated.

[Dogmudgeon]

5. Well, it worked for John and Yoko

At the risk of triggering an attack from the therapy-is-bunk crowd (the 'Pubs aren't too fond of it, either), let me just ask -- does Sarah Palin need Primal Therapy?

Some years ago, I heard something that was to change the course of my professional life and the lives of my patients. What I heard may change the nature of psychotherapy as it is now known — an eerie scream welling up from the depths of a young man lying on the floor during a therapy session. I can liken it only to what one might hear from a person about to be murdered. This book is about that scream and what it means in terms of unlocking the secrets of neurosis.

The young man who emitted it will be called Danny Wilson, a twenty-two-year-old college student. He was not psychotic, nor was he what is termed hysteric; he was a poor student, withdrawn, sensitive, and quiet. During a lull in our group therapy session, he told us a story about a man named Ortiz who was currently doing an act on the London stage in which he paraded around in diapers drinking bottles of milk. Throughout his number, Ortiz is shouting, "Mommy! Daddy! Mommy! Daddy!" at the top of his lungs. At the end of his act he vomits. Plastic bags are passed out, and the audience is requested to follow suit.

Danny's fascination with the act impelled me to try something elementary, but which previously had escaped my notice. I asked him to call out, "Mommy! Daddy!" Danny refused, saying that he couldn't see the sense in such a childish act, and frankly, neither could I. But I persisted, and finally, he gave in. As he began, he became noticeably upset. Suddenly he was writhing on the floor in agony. His breathing was rapid, spasmodic; "Mommy! Daddy!" came out of his mouth almost involuntarily in loud screeches. He appeared to be in a coma or hypnotic state. The writhing gave way to small convulsions, and finally, he released a piercing, deathlike scream that rattled the walls of my office. The entire episode lasted only a few minutes, and neither Danny nor I had any idea what had happened. All he could say afterward was: "I made it! I don't know what, but I can feel!"

Okay -- suppose it cures her? Would Kyl go next?

Does anyone know if she's even been in analysis? Had cognitive therapy? Taken Prozac and/or LSD? Done *est* or a weekend How-To-Be-A-Shaman course? It would be entertaining to see how her teabag buddies react. Republicans treat psychotherapy (or introspection of any kind) like a cross between Communism, rat poison, and marital fidelity.

--d!
Sarah, you had me, but I never had you ...

[Mugweed]

7. I might pay attention to her for once if that happened.

Then go back to ignoring her once the entertaining spectacle was over.

[upi402]

8. If Bush ate a live baby on camera...

It would be justified by some sort of insanity that I can't come up with now... but Republicans would have.

[Warren Stupidity]

14. Or used a gay hustler as a press stooge to lob softball questions

nobody would say shit.

[Warren Stupidity]

16. Or if the cheney shot somebody's face off

the list of actuals just goes on and on.

If a Democrat has a noise hair out of place it is a major constitutional crisis.

[Warren Stupidity]

19. Or just flat out lied about shit leading up to the war against Iraq.

I could go on.

[elias49]

9. I want to watch her handle snakes...

oops, wait a minute...

[muffin1]

10. I want to see her with a faith-healing witch doctor!

never mind...

[Billy Burnett]

12. ... in Hawaii. !!11111!!!!1111

[LeftishBrit]

13. I really didn't need that image....

[Warren Stupidity]

15. f'd noise would carry stories of real merkins covered in puke and shit

on a regular basis. Weepy shit besplattered noise bimbos would puke as commentary on a regular basis.

On the other hand that wonderful 'Dirty Jobs' show would be out of business.

[Mike 03]

17. Jon Kyl (It is Jon, not John) is falling apart. He's one of my senators, to my shame,

but you can see he is losing it, just like McCain.

[Mike 03]

18. Thank you for bringing to public light what a phony Kyl is. He is a disaster and we here in AZ

need to eject him from the political system the way we are soon going to eject McCain.

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

20. There might be a good excuse for doing all that.

:beer: I know that's the excuse I would use.
