Perhaps the relevant biblical citation is from Proverbs 11:22: Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout is a beautiful woman without good sense. (They hadn’t invented lipstick yet in those days.)

Six months ago, who could have predicted that we’d be looking at Couric as a woman of such substance? Hell has officially frozen over.

I don’t think Sayruh is a good woman in most senses of the word. I don’t think she’ll intentionally harm her grandsons or her son and grandson or other children. But I do think she will raise them or has raised them with her moronic cultural biases. I think she will also instill the moronic cultural biases that Maureen Dowd captured accurately in her columns from Ancourage after spending time at Palin’s church.

Further she is a chronic intentional liar.

The most reprehensible attribute that makes her anything but a good woman is that instead of answering the few questions that can be put to her, she responds with a meaningless platitude. I’d call it tangential, but her panicky incoherent statements or answers to questions are exponentially beyond the pale of merely tangential.

She is exactly in the situation Tbogg found himself in before that logic exam, and all of us have found several stages of our lives although we often didn’t suspect it would happen. Right now, it can’t be comfortable or exhilerating or pleasant to be Sayruh. The glow and grandiosity of being picked for VP have been blown away by a cascade of gale force storms.

Panic is driving any of the very few sentences from Palin that aren’t readings of Rick Davis’ words on a teleprompter.

Main Entry: panic
Function: noun
Date: 1708
1 a: a sudden overpowering fright ; also : acute extreme anxiety b: a sudden unreasoning terror often accompanied by mass flight c: a sudden widespread fright concerning financial affairs that results in a depression of values caused by extreme measures for protection of property (as securities)

If McCain had one responsible flip flop of many many cascading flip flops to make, it would be to fire Palin, admit he has made a profound mistake, say something about her being a nice person, and move on. But the hypocrisy there is while McCain’s failures are of a different texture than Sayruh’s, he is imploding with dumb mistake after dumb mistake.

McCain was part of the momentum that was directly responsible for the financial crisis. Anyone who doesn’t realize this is in reprehensible denial, and I mean the idiot Republican congresswomen who appear on CNN/MSNBC with a sickening smile frozen on their faces while making moronic statements as to how McCain is needed to solve the financial crisis. McCain was needed in Washington about as much as the Titanic needed a hydrogen bomb while it was sinking.

Chris Hayes, the Washington Bureau Chief of The Nation nailed McCain’s clusterfuck of a campaign with the metaphor of a drunken sailor bumping in to one scrape after another and it’s accurate.

And as usual, Glenn has her nailed in much the same vein as Tbogg but Glenn’s not near as entertaining.

Correction on Sarah Palin by Glenn Greenwald:

But Sarah Palin’s performance in the tiny vignettes of unscripted dialogue in which we’ve been allowed to see her has been nothing short of frightening — really, as I said, pity-inducing. And I say that as someone who has thought from the start that the criticisms of her abilities — as opposed to her ideology — were much too extreme. One of two things is absolutely clear at this point: she is either (a) completely ignorant about the most basic political issues — a vacant, ill-informed, incurious know-nothing, or (b) aggressively concealing her actual beliefs about these matters because she’s petrified of deviating from the simple-minded campaign talking points she’s been fed and/or because her actual beliefs are so politically unpalatable, even when taking into account the right-wing extremism that is permitted, even rewarded, in our mainstream. I’m not really sure which is worse, but it doesn’t really matter, because with 40 days left before the election, both options are heinous.

Sarah Palin makes me ashamed to be a human being.

Yep, looks like Palin is in a meltdown. And the sheep are wandering off the reservation — check out Kathleen Parker calling for Caribou Barbie to step down for the good of the conservative cause. http://townhall.com/columnists…..in_problem

Heh, I used “good” and “conservative cause” in the same sentence.

Is it too late for her to withdraw “due to a family emergency”?

I wasn’t a bad kid, or even a stupid kid.Writing for BeliefNet says different, sorry.
I still think the debate gambit is to keep the Harpy off the air. I’m sure the debate instructors have reported she is special ed and hopeless.

For those of us here in Vermont desperately wanting to get rid of our local GOP governor Douglas, Palin may be a Godsend. Because in those giddy days right after the convention rapture where St. Sarah appeared on the stage to save the party from itself, Jim Douglas went on record loudly and vaguely patronizingly declared that we Vermonters would find a lot in common with Sarah Palin and that he thought she was just the best thing ever. It was never clear to me if it was her ignorance or her lying that was suppose to endear us to her, but either way it was the kind of insult that struck home.

And at the rate she is flaming out like the star over Bethlehem, Governor Douglas may live to regret fawning over Miss GOP come November. If played right, he may have given himself just enough rope to hang by. And, so, in addition to her not insignificant contributions of comic relief in these depressing times, Sarah Palin may have acted as midwife to a better life for those of us with immense foreign policy experience by virtue of our proximity to Canada. For that we are of course eternally grateful. Amen.

I’m sure you Vermonters have a lot in common with Palin. I’ve heard about the Vt Secessionist Movement.

After 8 years of these dangerous idiots, there’s very little I read these days that causes me to spew my coffee.

And then I saw ‘Bible Spice’…if there’s a heaven, TBogg, yours is filled with bassets

I wish I could be so sure about the “base” turning away from Palin…that really does assume that they have some modicum of integrety, sense, intelligence, etc.

But really, what godbotherer is going to be a-okay with torture, with all of Dumbya’s various lethal antics, and then draw the line…
“nope, that lady is nice and she’d be welcome in our bowling league, but she’s too dumb to be VP” ?

I think we’re just hearing the people that are in line for the new batch of Kool-aide, but haven’t gotten their dose yet, because THIS batch tastes like carrion, and the people in the front of the line are taking a little more time to choke it down than usual.

Yet choke it down they will, and with plenty to go around for all of the base.

It takes more than a couple of crappy interviews to bring fundie wingnuts to their senses, assuming that they have any left.

Rod Dreher had a hard time passing Formal Logic? I’m shocked.

“Bible Spice”…that’s great. Even better than Caribou Barbie.

Bible Spice might the most brilliant thing I’ve read this week.

It’s hard to believe that Beckham and that Afghan are from the same species.

It’s hard to believe that me and Palin are from the same species.

Der Crunchmeister also called bullshit on her answer re: the whole passport thing. My feelings on seeing the scales fall from so many conservative eyes isn’t so much schadenfreude as it is that me am in Bizarro World.

Rod Dreher passed Formal Logic? I’m stunned.

Isn’t Dreher Catholic now, or was at one time? In any event Dreher’s relationship to Palin’s kind of evangelicalism isn’t likely to be unquestioning.

“She makes George W. Bush sound like Cicero.”

Well, maybe more like Cato the Elder (”Iran delenda est! Iran delenda est!”)

But really, what godbotherer is going to be a-okay with torture,…

Silly question. The Catholics of course!

Snarki, you forget that Palin is a Vagina-American, and despite all their swooning about Hockey Moms, deep down inside these people are conditioned to believe that a woman is stupider than any man. It’s cute when the little gal wants to play with the big boys in Alaska, and it’s fun to use her to show up Hillary, but when it comes down to governing the country they’re uncomfortable at the thought of anyone menstruating in the Oval Office.

Nobody expects the Inquisition!

Jesus to followers: “What did I ever do or teach that inspired you to be so batshit crazy?”

Jesus to Eddie Valiant: “I’m not northern European. I’m painted that way.”

But really, what godbotherer is going to be a-okay with torture,.

Um, all the ones that attend my sister’s S. Baptist church? She looooves the idea, just as much as she loves her oft-made statement that “all homosexuals should be lined up and shot”. God’s love, dontcha know. And my sister would be more than willing to ignore that direction from 1 Timothy 2:12 if the vagina-American in question is one of her tribe. You see, moral relativism isn’t the only place where they are hypocrites.

No matter though, the sheep this ongoing Bible Spice trainwreck is going to dissuade are those that aren’t of the 29% lost-causers; who it can affect are the evangelicals of the Jim Wallis subgroup and perhaps a few of those totally moronic swing voters who were telling reporters how much they liked Caribo Barbie because she has nice legs (real quote by a man in some heartland bastion that I read somewhere this week). I’m hoping for a VP debate performance so hideous that even the villagers can’t keep from yapping about the level of suck involved.

Sarah Palin, from the Couric/Palin interview:

So health care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions…

Scan it again.

Yes, that’s right. Sarah Palin actually said: “reducing taxes … has got to accompany tax reductions.”

I’m dumbfounded.

.

I love Vermont, but it’s a weird state (one of the reasons I love it). How can it have a Republican governor and Bernie Sanders in the Senate at the same time?

By the way, Bernie had the best line about the current economic crisis: A company too big to fail is a company too big to exist.

Jeebus wore a Mullett…!?!?

Who freakin’ knew?

Bible Spice

– a classic is born!

Maverick and Bible Spice — save the world, the debate, and the economy!

Another fact illustrated in the Couric interview:

When Palin rears her head — the airspace is right there, between the borders of her ears…

(Bible Spice…swwweeeeeeet!)

I remember the morning I woke up in my college dorm room and went in to take my final exam in my Formal Logic class. I knew I was unready. Massively unready. And now I was going to be put to the ultimate test. I sat down in Dr. Sarkar’s class and resolved to wing it. Of course I failed the exam and failed the class, because I had no idea what I was talking about. I wasn’t a bad kid, or even a stupid kid. I was just badly unprepared, and in way over my head. Seeing the Palin interview on CBS, I thought of myself in Dr. Sarkar’s exam. But see, I was a college undergraduate who had the chance to take the class again, which I did, and passed (barely).

Is anyone gobsmacked by the Crunch Con’s revelation that he struggles with logic?

Buh bye, motherfuckers.

Say hi to Dick Nixon for us, willya?

Here ya go gang, let’s hope the VP debate includes a swimsuit segment.

Parker:

Only Palin can save McCain, her party, and the country she loves.

The country Sarah Palin loves is Alaska.

She and her First Pud (who appears to run her game almost entirely) identify as Alaskans First, Alaskans Always.

…Everyone enjoying their popcorn?

“Bible Spice” ?!?!?!?!??

Dammit TBogg, now I have to clean Coca-Cola out of this keyboard AGAIN!

I’m sure it’s been said before but she answers these questions as she’s been trained – as a beauty contestant. “As Miss America, I believe that world peace and solving world hunger should help all the children in America and the world. Blah blah blah. Maybe, instead of coaching her, they should have just locked her in the soundproof room. And left her there.

Ooops, forgot the quotes after the last blah. Sorry.

All of you need to remember that McCain and Palin are the leaders of the Republican Party and that about 40% of American voters support them.

I’m not very good at appropriate Bible verses, but there should be one somewhere along the lines of “we are in a shitload of trouble no matter who wins the election if anybody thinks these asshole could lead our country.”

We may be in a shitload of trouble, but there is a clear fucking difference in the choices between McPrune and Sayruh moron and Obama and Biden. I’d look to your Senators and Congress people as large components of the clusterfuck shitstorm, as well as the moronic American people whose kids read next to no books while in school.

well, it took him two tries, which is one more that you get in the seat that Palin hopes to occupy.

Exactly: why else go to such lengths to ensure her son was born in Alaska, not Texas? One assumes citizenship would be conferred based on the parent’s residence at the time of birth (cf. Maglalang, Michelle a/k/a Anchor Baby a/k/a Our Lady of the Camps), Maybe the Tundra Rebellion has different rules?

And was Irish!

Who is that guy? Jesus of Oslo, attended by Hulda and Solveig?

Bible Spice just might almost make you even for John McCain’s Brazilian.

I dunno folks, I glanced over the shoulder of a fellow airport traveler last week to her gossip mag, and the headline (inside unfortunately) was there is a video of Palin’s daughter doing *gasp* DRUGS! I filed this in my “when you’ve lost the gossip mag contingent, you’ve lost it, period” folder.

there is a video of Palin’s daughter doing *gasp* DRUGS!

If it was meth and not birth control, she’s probably still OK.

Sorry, I didn’t get the name of the drugs involved.

So it looks like competing gossip mag narratives are hitting the fan; drugs done by the moose-ette(s), or the trailer park/shotgun nuptials of the “fucking redneck” and his lovely though sizably pregnant betrothed.

“Bible Spice”…

BWAAAAAAAHAAAAAAHAAAAA!!!
