Thread: Palin, the cringe factor: Shut her up! McCain

Lets not forget that another affable hick, Ronald Reagan, made it all the way to the top- and that was after being governor of California. The Goobinator came long before the Gubernator.

Palin is on a roll. She’s got her own TV show, not counting Fox News. And she twitters! Or somebody does it for her. Hard to tell which. Her twit on the president’s Iraq speech was: “may make u want to dig out ur old Orwell books so rewritten history can be deciphered.”

On the one hand, the sentence construction does have that Sarah ring to it. On the other, how many of you think that Palin has old Orwell books hanging around the house? May I see a show of hands?


... n her spare time, the former governor of Alaska is making speeches at $75,000 a pop. To which she must be flown first class, as per her standard contract, or in a private plane that “MUST BE a Lear 60 or larger.” This is a new, emerging “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” version of Palin. In her public comments, Sarah is still just a down-home gal, making moose chili for the kids and assuring an N.R.A. convention that she and Todd prefer sleeping in the back of their truck to paying for a motel room.

Hers is a uniquely American success story. There will surely be a syndicated TV series to follow.

CNN covered a Vanity Fair writer who wrote an article about Palin and her fam's personal life in the Oct issue. Funny. All the sources are anonymous, but that doesn't stop VF or CNN from reporting this guy's dirt on the family. I didn't think the left would go as low as the National Enquirer. Slovenly, shoddy and tawdry reporting.

It doesn't matter, the womans a joke and if she has any credibility among US voters it's a damning indictment on the intelligence of those voters and reason IQ tests should be given before people are qualified to vote.

In case you would actually like to read the article I have posted the link. Its rather long and is more than I would actually like to know about Ms. Palin.

^ I read it before. What's funny is that the left can use alleged reports and not be called on it. Besides, it's shoddy when writers have to stoop to National Enquirer levels, innit?

Nation Once Again Comes Under Sway Of Pink-Faced Half-Wit

NEW YORK—Following an Aug. 28 rally in Washington, D.C. attended by an estimated 87,000 Americans, experts confirmed this week that the U.S. populace appears to have fallen under the spell of yet another pink-faced half-wit.

The most recent pink-faced halfwit has reportedly captured the popular imagination through the conventional vehicles of a nationally syndicated talk-radio program and a cable news television show. According to media analyst Rebecca Ellington, the pink-faced half-wit has mesmerized the nation by spewing out hundreds of predictably reactionary and emotion≠ally manipulative on-air diatribes.

"This particular pink-faced half-wit is at the height of his persuasive powers," Ellington said of the bloated, hateful multimillionaire. "By exploiting citizens' greatest anxieties during an uncertain time in our nation's history, the pink-faced half-wit has been able to promote his own vain, avaricious self-interests under the guise of standing up for the very disenfranchised people whom he himself is fleecing."

"I've seen a number of pink-faced half-wits during my career, and in the pantheon of bombastic demagogues, this one will surely be remembered as one of the most disgusting," Ellington continued. "It's truly extraordinary: He may well be too ambitious and narcissistic to be able to comprehend how much damage he is doing to our country."

According to scholars, pink-faced half-wits have had remarkable staying power throughout history despite their outlandish, easily debunked claims, shameless self-promotion, and complete lack of credentials. More often than not, experts said, these pasty, shallow dullards skillfully manage to control debate on the most important social and political topics of the day.

"Anytime followers heed his advice and do something illegal, [the pink-faced half-wit] can simply claim that his work is intended only for entertainment purposes," said Ellington, proffering a copy of the current pink-faced half-wit's inane ghostwritten thriller The Overton Window, a thinly veiled conduit for an untenable and potentially dangerous fringe ideological message. "This leaves them free to wield their truly baffling influence in incredibly irresponsible ways without fear of accountability."

Dr. David Snider, a media historian and author of the book Frothing, Shouting Dim-Bulbs: An American Tradition, said that the current porcine loudmouth is the latest in a long line of pink-faced half-wits that began in the 1930s with the incendiary radio broadcasts of Father Charles Coughlin, a pink-faced half-wit Roman Catholic priest.

According to Snider, this original pink-faced half-wit exploited the Great Depression to foment his message of virulent anti-Semitism—a tactic of shamelessly preying upon American misery and misfortune that has since been employed by nearly every pink-faced, intellectually corrupt piece of shit asshole to open his fat, disgusting pig mouth since.

"These jowly nitwits are characterized by their false sense of moral superiority, as evidenced by the rash of philandering TV evangelists from the 1980s," said Snider, referring to a subset of pink-faced half-wits who took advantage of people's faith in a higher power to steal millions of dollars from them. "In recent years, there has been a new breed of equally vociferous, foaming morons who espouse opposing viewpoints but use identical tactics: the prime example being that pink-faced Michael Moore half-wit."

Snider said most pink-faced half-wits eventually expose their nauseating, self-aggrandizing nature. He warned, however, that this is not always the case, and was careful to point out that the king of the pink-faced half-wits has, despite his hypocritical condemnations of drug abuse, weathered a very public OxyContin addiction, not to mention multiple statements of outright racism.

"Almost invariably, the pink-faced half-wit becomes so arrogant and self-important that he actually starts to believe the bullshit streaming from his fleshy hole and comes to think of himself as invincible," Snider said. "If history is any indication, this latest ruddy, pabulum-spewing cretin will likely have a homosexual affair come to light or otherwise perjure himself in a way that will alienate all but his most fanatical followers."

"Of course, there will be a new pink-faced halfwit to pick up the baton and employ oversimplified jingoistic polemics to once again enchant terrified people seeking easy answers," Snider added. "And America will be right there ready to eat it up."

Nation Once Again Comes Under Sway Of Pink-Faced Half-Wit | The Onion - America's Finest News Source

Truly America's finest News source.

Sarah Palin was the guest speaker at the California GOP Victory Rally yesterday.

“Nobody Tell Barack Obama what number comes after a trillion!”

http://freedomslighthouse.net/2010/1...rillion-video/

Sarah Palin released a post-election ad today featuring several winners from Tuesday’s election including: Allen West, Nikki Haley, Sean Duffy, Renee Elmers, Tim Scott, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, Kelly Ayotte and tea party patriots.



Heh,,,indeed it's going to be a 'new morning'.

And the trouble has already begun.

While not a candidate himself, Fox News' Karl Rove will be a key player in the 2012 GOP primaries, largely through his Wall Street-funded Republican piggy bank, American Crossroads. One can speculate as to which candidate he prefers, but one doesn't have to guess who he doesn't want to challenge Obama -- Fox News' Sarah Palin.

The feud between these two has been simmering since Palin injected herself into the Republican primaries of various Senate campaigns and helped Tea Party candidates snatch nominations from more electable Republicans, only to see them lose in the general election (see: Sharron Angle and, if trends hold, Joe Miller.)

But no candidate better represented the Rove-Palin rift than Delaware's Christine O'Donnell, who secured the nomination on the strength of Palin's endorsement and then bombed in the general. Not long after O'Donnell was minted as the nominee, Rove said (on Fox) that she did not "evince the characteristics of rectitude and truthfulness" and that the race had become unwinnable. Those remarks earned him a keel hauling from the right-wing media. Palin, for her part, said (also on Fox) that everyone who thought O'Donnell couldn't win needed to "buck up" and put aside their "egos."

As the Senate looked more and more like it would stay in Democratic hands, Rove and Palin quit fighting through proxies and just started bashing each other. Last week, the U.K. Telegraph reported that Rove trashed Palin's new reality TV program and "said it was unlikely that voters would regard someone starring in a reality show as presidential material." The article also quoted Rove saying Palin lacks "a certain level of gravitas."

Palin, as we all know, thrives on victimhood and will never fail to respond to any criticism, no matter how slight or imagined. She fired back at Rove (again on Fox News) by suggesting he is "threatened" and "paranoid." She also compared herself to Ronald Reagan, though he was a TV star before he was politician, not the other way around. A couple of days later (on Fox News) she lobbed a nonspecific attack at "these Neanderthals, these goofballs, these nitwits" who were attacking her in the press.

Palin, the darling of the Tea party, will be taken down a notch I reckon.

The Tea Party's success, such as it was, had a silvery blue lining. We got to see a few of these puppies get their asses kicked.

Written a year ago, and Palin most certainly isn't out of the political spotlight now. Whilst I personally very much doubt Palin will run for Pres or VP again, talk persists- and for whatever reason- (ratings, pressure on GOP)- Fox continues to push her to the fore, as well as employing her.

Maybe thats not all bad.



Can't be bothered looking it up, but I also glibly predicted that Sarah would probably end up on a Reality TV show. Sometimes life is indeed stranger than fiction.


Palin's reality TV show to 'correct some untruths'

Sarah Palin's Alaska makes its debut on cable channel TLC on Sunday, featuring the polarizing Tea Party favorite and her five children bear-watching, fishing, kayaking and living life at their Alaska home.

The eight-part program is the latest media venture from the former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice-presidential hopeful who is widely seen as a prospective 2012 presidential candidate. Palin also has a second book, America By Heart coming out soon, following her 2009 best-seller Going Rogue.

In an extensive interview with People magazine for its issue hitting newsstands on Friday, Palin again danced around her presidential intentions. "If there's an opportunity for me to help America get back on track, I will do that," she said.

Poll: Palin Now Leading in Texas, Maine, Wisconsin, West Virginia…




PPP’s newest batch of 2012 Republican primary polls conducted right before last week’s election finds Mitt Romney ahead in the critical early state of Florida, Tim Pawlenty surprisingly weak in his home state of Minnesota, and Sarah Palin posting leads in Texas, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and Maine.

…Palin holds small leads in the remaining states. Most noteworthy is her strength in Texas and West Virginia, which suggests a bid from her could really hurt Mike Huckabee in the South. In Texas she gets 22% to 20% for Huckabee and 15% for both Gingrich and Romney. In West Virginia she’s at 25% to 22% for Huckabee and again 15% for both Gingrich and Romney. These margins are obviously very close but they nevertheless pose trouble for Huckabee and perhaps even more so Gingrich if she ends up making a bad because strength in the South would be vital to either of their prospects.

Romney may not have a complete strangle hold on New England- Palin gets 23% in Maine to 18% for Romney, 16% for Huckabee, and 14% for Gingrich. Those numbers should give folks who think there’s no chance Maine Republicans would nominate someone far right against Olympia Snowe in 2012 second thoughts. And finally Palin gets 18% in Wisconsin to 15% for Huckabee, 14% for Gingrich, and 12% for Romney. Pawlenty has his best non-Minnesota performance so far at 8%, not surprising given that it’s right next door. And Pawlenty’s unusually strong Wisconsin number helps to explain Romney’s unusually weak Wisconsin number.
We’ve now released these polls in 12 states- Romney has led in 5 (California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, New Hampshire), Palin in 4 (Maine, Texas, West Virginia, Wisconsin), Huckabee in 2 (Illinois, Pennsylvania), and Pawlenty in 1 (Minnesota.) We’ll have the final batch of six polls (Alaska, Kentucky, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Washington) out early next week.

There really isn't any decent republican potus contender at this point imho. Maybe tomorrow.

If palin ever gets into any office higher than governor (quite frankly I was surprised someone that dumb could even make it that high, only in 'merca i suppose)
It's because not enough people watched this movie.

The movie tells the story of Army private Joe Bauers, who is an average American used by the Army to test suspended animation technology. Instead of waking up in one year, as planned, Joe reawakens five hundred years later, to find a society on the brink of destruction due to the intellectual degradation of its population.

Idiocracy is a comedy that obviously exaggerates anything that a possible future could be. However, it launches harsh attacks on the intellectual decline of America. It serves as a stern warning against mindless entertainment, willful ignorance of proper speech, a lack of respect for the political process – in short, it serves as an early warning siren of the “dumbing-down” of our nation. Idiocracy will provide a bevy of laughter, followed by a lingering concern for humanity.
