Is Sarah Palin ever right? About anything?
Recently she posted on Facebook that Alaska's Kodiak Island is the largest island in America. Sorry Ms. Mooseburger, but I must "refutiate" that. Now perhaps you can't see the state of Hawaii from your front porch, but surely a learned person such as yourself has at least heard of the Big Island of Hawaii, which is several hundred square miles larger than Kodiak.
Palin than went on to endorse New Hampshire Repug Senate candidate Kelly Ayotte, while praising her for having "won" a case before the SCOTUS requiring parental notification for teenagers seeking abortions. In reality, Ayotte attempted to defend the law, but it was in fact repealed after the Supreme Court sent it back to a lower court. Perhaps that qualifies as a "victory" in Palinworld, but in the reality-based community, we call that a loss.
Whether it's plain stupidity or just flat-out dishonesty, the amount of misinformation which spews from this twit's pie-hole on a daily basis defies description.

4. Not so far. I suppose there's a remote statistical
chance that she'll be right about something sometime in the future, but I don't think any of us should hold our breath.

Agree with you that in Palin's case it could be a combination of dishonesty and misinformation.

Interesting that Palin is in New Hampshire. I mean, it's not like that state holds an early primary or anything. O wait...

7. In her mind, facts and "being right" have nothing to do with each other.

8. Not to defend her,

11. It's hard to tell if she's right or not because most of the time
what she says is indecipherable.

12. Doubt she even knows where her nose is
Let alone her elbow and what she sits on.

Only person ever to lose the game "Count Your Nose"

16. Well, an infinite number of monkeys
with an infinite number of typewriters and an infinite amount of time could eventually write the works of Shakespeare.

So there is an infinitesimally small chance that she is right. About something.

Not that Palin is a monkey. Or any other form of primate.

17. Facts Mean Nothing To A Cult...
...and that's what Grifterella has formed. To her acolytes, she's perfect in every way...especially when the "lame stream media" picks on her. Looks like she's perfected the victim game as the more she makes a fool out of herself the more popular among the corporate media and her coven she gets.

She represents a lot of what the great unhinged stand for...un-educated yet opinionated, simple and unrepentant. She speaks the dogwhistles that gets the attention and has taken advantage of the situation. Nothing she says amazes anymore...those of us (the majority) who know she's a bubblehead find a lot of her verbal diahrea to be amusing and meaningless, but for her zombies, it's all good and proper.

18. Someone should be keeping track
Edited on Tue Jul-20-10 09:19 AM by AspenRose
and posting it on a website or publishing a book, or something...complete with references and links.

(Seriously)

Make it easy and keep all the crazy and stupid comments in one central location where people can see for themselves (because the media won't do it).
