Can you Digg it?

Also.

She just spews things that are supposed to sound ’smart’ knowing full well that no interviewer is going stop her by asking ” What the fuck are you talking about? Are you an idiot?”.

True, but it really was a little bit fun to watch those interviewers try to mask their astonishment as she prattled on and on. Some of those facial expressions were really priceless.

My best wishes toward your speedy recovery!

Now, that said, attention must be paid–if we are going to continue to flog the Palin question–to the extraordinary prose stylings of Camille Paglia, who still manages to get a microphine at Salon.com once a month. She writes about Governor Palin:

“As a career classroom teacher, I can see how smart she is–and quite frankly, I think the people who don’t see it are the stupid ones, wrapped in the fuzzy mummy-gauze of their own worn-out partisan dogma. So she doesn’t speak the King’s English — big whoop! There is a powerful clarity of consciousness in her eyes. She uses language with the jumps, breaks and rippling momentum of a be-bop saxophonist.”

My one dying wish, if I were ever to be granted one dying wish, would be for Charlie Parker to rise from his grave and slap her all over the city of Philadelphia. (Camille, that is. As for Sarah, I am sure he would shrug. None of the be-bop greats had any patience with the musically illiterate pretenders in the world of jazz.)

…but in working with these governors who again on the front lines are forced to and it’s our privileged obligation to find solutions to the challenges facing our own states every day being held accountable…

God, I hated being taught at an early age by the Sisters of Show-No-Mercy, but it would have been impossible to have had to ‘diagram’ her sort-of sentences in class.

Oh, and Camille Paglia is excrescence writ large. IMHO, of course.

“This deluded and delusional woman still doesn’t understand what happened to her….”

What’s scary is that this woman is too stupid to know she is too stupid to be Veep.

Every single person who is supporting this woman for higher office has my total and forever disdain. Whether you are too stoopid to know stoopid when you see it (fundie rethugs), or you just have an agenda (Kristol, Limbaugh), does not matter. I’m taking names, and you are forever on my idiot list. Furthermore, you are unAmerican, and a traitor to this country. “Country First”, my ass.

Nevertheless, I encourage all of you idiots to nominate Gov. Barbie in 2012. An Obama/Barbie debate would be a little slice of heaven.

“Can I call ya Barack?”
“You can call me Mr. President.”

Much credit really must go to Andrew Sullivan. Now that he’s finally realized the R’s are really all about people like Palin, he can’t write against them enough. He has been relentless in his Palin investigations and what he has written has been very thorough.

The new sub-motto of the democratic party is “You go Girl!!”.

All of us who do not see the genius of Sarah Palin and George Bush–WE have the problem. Not the Kristols and Hewitts and Paglias who keep explaining (patiently, I might add) how Sarah and George are really intellectual giants who speak truly and directly to the heart of real Americans.

She’s sitting in chairs that she’s proposing? I understand the Alice in Wonderland reference now.

And I now know that gah is actually a word.

Sarah Palin was the mayor of a city with a population slightly larger than my high school

She couldn’t even do that job. When she became Mayor, the Town Council hired a Town Manager to do it, for the first time in their history.

She’s sitting in chairs that she’s proposing..

I think that was a subtle nod to the beat poets of yore. Just another facet of the rhinestone we call Palin.

Wasilla has less people than my high school did. I would not want my high school principal to be VP or Pres either!!

Get well soon, TBogg.

Do not underestimate Sarah Palin. Paglianic bs aside, Palin is a formidable political animal, ruthless and focussed. If Obama falters on the economy and the downturn continues to worsen, a fickle American electorate may think she’s just the strong medicine the country needs.

When has Bill Kristol ever been wrong?

My favoritest line ever.

Clearly, when it comes to snark, men are capable of not thinking with our dicks.

Oh please, please, please listen to Bloody Billy KKKristol! Nothing could more surely exile the GOP to wander in the wilderness for 40 years. Being endorsed by Paglia is even better.

Sarah Palin was the mayor of a city with a population slightly larger than my high school (Go Warhawks!). She has spent two years as Governor of a state with half the population of my city (Tourists go home…but leave your daughters!). She speaks using chunklets of buzz words and phrases that are entirely unrelated to each other, as in

:

GOPAC training from Newt for GOP candidates?

i hope with Stevens loss we never have to SEE/HEAR that dolt again,or any of her ignominious family

If McCain and Palin had actually dressed like the two in that photo they might have been a little more successful.

indeed !

and sweet jeebus, Dan Quayle must be beside himself with envy and resentment

ps -lovin’ Margaret Carlson on KO last night talking about how all the other Govs just wanting her to go the fuck away – catty bitches

i really would liki to see her college,grades,records and classes taken
from where i sit
She seems to be completely ignorant [Mod: please no all caps]….or is it just me?

i typed like,really i did

In what respect, Charlie?

This deluded and delusional woman still doesn’t understand what happened to her; still has no self-awareness; and has never been forced to accept her obvious limitations. She cannot keep even the most trivial story straight; she repeats untruths with a ferocity and calm that is reserved only to the clinically unhinged;

“clinically unhinged” you mean Sociopath, “with a ferocity and calm ” bet she could pass a lie detector.
“and has never been forced to accept her obvious limitations.” Yeah only Bush level inbred sons of the Elite and those who work for them get that right.
Sarah is to folksy she appeals to the mob of 30%ers the GOP elite are not happy about that.

progressing the nation,by the by..is the new catapulting the propaganda

707 priceless

I would like to know why she went to so many colleges. I assume she canceled classes before she was going to fail but did she not cancel them in time to erase them from her records?
Would the list of classes she originally took before I suspect she droped them still be in her records?

RE; the Neiman Marxist wardrobes -why didn’t she just say no…i.e.,”Thanks,but no thanks!” ?

Having said that, the Republicans still seem to be listening to Bill Kristol, the Wile E. Coyote of political stratagems, and are intent of foisting this national punchline on their party in 2012.

Please. Do it. When has Bill Kristol ever been wrong?

TBogg, thank you for the biggest “bahaw” in weeks. Simply. Perfect. Not to mention “props” to Andrew…for once.

Being academically marginal is a valuable attribute for moving ahead in the Republic Party.

There is a WHOLE lot LESS to that Wasilly woman than meets the eye!

“[Republicans] are intent of foisting this national punchline on their party in 2012.”

Jes, dooo eeet!

DOOOOO EEEET!

(Thanks, PW!)

the empress has no brain

She did, just like the Bridge to Nowhere. She kept the money for the bridge so she thought it was ok to keep the clothes.

yes i believe so……she is teh vaccuous
when she speaks im 100% sure she has ADD……100%

I’d like to announce my own candidacy this morning – because if Sarah Palin is deemed adequate to the task of Vice President, then I should be considered a shoe-in as a Congress-critter. My credentials:
1) I read. A lot. I read on a daily basis: NY Times, the Washington Post. I read The Economist. I also read books. With no pictures in them.
2) I believe in the Constitution and its primacy.
3) I believe in the separation of Church and State. And no, God does NOT whisper in my ear about ‘open doors’, “opportunities” and “audibels”.
4) I do not believe in ‘laying on of the hands”, “demon possession” or the usefulness, on a foreign policy basis of such skills as ‘field dressing barely dead animals with my teeth.”

See, she could have pulled off a version of the old Wendy’s ad…” dayvear…eveneen vear…swimvare…for pennies.

http://www.spike.com/video/wendys-soviet/2423865

i postulated the second time i heard her speak …SHE HAS ADD

Sure so you can be controled by the puppet masters but after years of inbreeding the Puppet Masters now have the I.Q of the Puppets.
Bringing Sarah into the mix however could lower GOP I.Qs to the point that we consider Bush one of our smarter Presidents.

What race? Talk to Jane or Christy about getting Blue America support then I’ll give.

Palin is the new Britney Spears.

Any of us bloggers, doing the brave work of typing in pajamas, can see the train wreck coming.

1. Media finally gets tired of her, January 2009.
2. Gets walk on role in 30 Rock, March 2009.
3. Flashes skin at GOP planning session, September 2009
4. Found passed out in the lobby of Bill Kristol’s condo building by the condo association president, December 2009.
5. Enters rehab, 2010
6. Fights with Mike Huckabee for leadership of GOP snake handling wing, 2011.
7. In desperate attempt for attention, she shaves her head, January 2012.

Where shall we send the contributions? “g”

And she’s a sociopath as her calm lying suggests but what else?

ADD / ADHD in adults

Many people have a stereotypical picture in their head of what someone with attention deficit disorder looks like: hyperactive, loud, a whirlwind of energy and unchecked impulses. And let’s face it: it’s probably a kid they’re picturing in their mind’s eye. However, ADD / ADHD is not just a childhood disorder. Kids don’t simply grow out of ADHD, as if it’s a phase. In fact, the symptoms of ADD / ADHD typically get worse as children grow into adulthood and face life’s increasing pressures and demands.

Adults with ADD / ADHD struggle daily with self-regulation: regulating their attention, regulating their impulses in talking and action, and regulating their emotions. If you have trouble staying focused, getting organized, starting and completing your work, managing your time and money, and remembering all the little things in your daily life, you may very well be one of these people.

The chaos of living with unrecognized and untreated ADD / ADHD can take its toll: never-ending to-do lists, the stress of missed deadlines and forgotten appointments, aggravated friends and family members who just don’t understand why you can’t pull it together and self-recrimination over your lack of accomplishments.

The good news: life doesn’t have to be this way. Treatment can go a long way toward getting ADD / ADHD in check. But before you can manage the problem, you have to be able to identify it, starting with a thorough understanding of what ADD / ADHD looks like in adults.

Palin is trying to “scat”———-

A blizzard of words is very appealling to the circling buzzards.

yes i believe so,kids with ADHD also lie alot

1) I read. A lot. I read on a daily basis: NY Times, the Washington Post. I read The Economist. I also read books. With no pictures in them.

But do you read Pop Up books like Sarah?

im thinking the ADHD is why she couldnt complete college in 1,2 3 4 5 schools

So National Healthcare could get people like Sarah and Bush diagnosed before they run for office? Hmmm we could cut out a lot of GOP votes that way.

I know someone very well who is ADD. He is brilliant and works for NASA. He takes Ritalin and tried to stop but found he was so unfocused that he couldn’t get his work done. Sarah may be ADD but she also is without a shred of knowledge about anything.Two different things.

Palin is the new Britney Spears

more like Lonesome Rhodes

and I am soooo waiting for the inevitable unfortunate open mike incident

That and/or drinking lots of college kids fail because they party to much.

PALIN: Gah! Nothing specific right now. Sitting here in these chairs that I’m going to be proposing but in working with these governors who again on the front lines are forced to and it’s our privileged obligation to find solutions to the challenges facing our own states every day being held accountable, not being just one of many just casting votes or voting present every once in a while, we don’t get away with that. We have to balance budgets and we’re dealing with multibillion dollar budgets and tens of thousands of employees in our organizations.

she opens a brain folder in her head, uploads the words that are grouped together and then downloads those words into her speaker hardware

she has documented a new psychosis now known as “Palinopathy” and those afflicted are “palinpathetic

also quite possible like W

they both might have BOTH problems too
they seem very similat
both like running a lot,which is endorphin producing high

Sarah Palin reminds me of every minimally clever but good looking woman I ever worked with – the only ROI the can get is on their looks, so they work them for all they are worth, charm the guys, and run as fast as they can, all the time, leaving wreckage in their wake for others to clean up. Sarah Palin is incompetant. Period. She was incompetant as the mayor of Wasilla; she’s incompetant as the governor of Alaska, and she’d be incompetent no matter what she does. But she’s catnip for the guys – I think McCain basically fell in love with her when he took her on that walk at his ranch – she ’sounds’ good; she ‘looks’ good — but there is no ‘there’ there… George Bush is positively Steven Hawking-like in comparison. She’s veneer.

yes…she can NOT apply herself,she just cant understand facts,history and connecting the dots

so true…your very smart!

According to Google, Sarah Palin is dumber than: Bush, a pillar box, dirt, a bag of rocks, a 3rd grader, a bag of hammers, a snowball, a box of rocks, a rock, a bush, a box of hair, bricks, a stump, Dan Quayle, a sack of doorknobs, a sack of hair, Meghan McCain, you betcha, also.

Wish I understood symbolic logic but even grammar suggests that Sarah’s words do not agree with each other. We should challenge the pro Sarah talking heads to explain just what does Sarah mean when she talks.
KO points out that Sarah does not answer questions. He is being to nice Sarah’s answers suggest that is not avoiding questions.
She does not understand them, however she still tries to answer.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

No knowledge is downright frightening.

Meghan McCain, you betcha, also.
—————
yes poor thing but her drug addled mom ,lets her spend 50 thousand big ones on her AMEX
every fukin month

And the endorphins block thinking too much which only confuses them. I bet if they don’t run for long enough they get worse.

yes, i think so,they both occupy their own reality

I’m guessing she’ll marry her meal ticket, once mommy gets tired of footing the bill.

50,000 bux a month …600,000.00 per month just for ENTERTAINMENT….yup she will be another Sarah

mommy is a drug addict…they are ALL ASSICTED TO MONEY AND GREED…they will never get SICK OF SPENDING …never

ADDICTED …damn fingers

I find it rather revolting that the woman who was thumbing the media in the eye for 3 months is now subject to fawning and endless coverage.

Media whores unite!

By the way, what’s up with Van Susterens’ face? Looks like Ray Charles performed her cosmetic surgery.

-G

Suggested followup question for Blitzer:
Governor Palin was your response a sentence or six suggested chapter headings for an upcoming novellete.

I think the vice-principals from my HS would, either one of them, be better than Sarah. And they’re both dead. Congress would be much better run, too.

For everyone who is hoping for Palin in 2012, please remember George W. Bush managed to survive two elections.

I personally just hope she goes away. If there’s even a one-in-a-million chance that she could somehow steal an election, I think the risk is too high.

Thanks:) Coming here to talk with so many other smart people does stimulate the mind. You have to be quick and smart to comment here and get attention.
Hmmm Sarah’s dislike of Elites and Smart People may stem from resentment that her teachers never called on her in class to avoid embarrassing her, Sarah needs attention lots I don’t think she got it from home.
Sarah plays this up to rally the bottom of the class voters who did not get attention in school.
My dad was second from the bottom in his class he was learning english but having to fight gave him drive which Sarah has.
That and he was really smart.
The girl at the bottom of the class killed herself. Class/school rankings based on constant testing if anything would bring back that kind of pressure I think as No Child Left behind kids get older the suicide rate will go up.

The plastic surgeon who did the surgery on Van Sustren’s face made one of these rare embarassing medical mistakes. He was told the patient in the room was there for a buttocks lift and he dug in.

The good news is no Senatuh Palin from Alaska evah.

At 9PM Mark Begich pulled ahead by 814 votes. There are 40,000 more votes to be counted, many of them today. Begich is not going to look back.

With Begich in the Senate, the moron snowbilly keeps her delusions in Alaska.

Begich Leads Stevens by 814 Votes in Alaska U.S. Senate Race

Think how poor John McCain must feel. No one knows who he is anymore & Sarah’s getting all the limelight.

If they niminate Palin for 2012, it will be the perfect occasion for President Obama to declare martial law…

Yikes…I opened this page and thought I was seeing Pam Geller being crowned the Queen of WrongBlogisland. I truly hope Sarah’s stock continues to rise within the Republic Party – I look forward to her not answering questions and not holding press conferences on her way to the 2012 Republic nomination.

a person can be ADD & stupid at the same time

A victory by less than .5% will trigger an automatic recount just as in MN. Begitch lead is currently .29% keeping fingers crossed.

I want her to fight for the soul of the National GOP the more she fights the more split the GOP will get.
If she wins we get another Reagan, Bush level moron as GOP leader but Sarah already can’t think on her feet as well as early second time mentally impaired Reagan.
No time on a Presidential campaign to run everyday as much as she wants without that she will lose it.

New post next door…

Thanks I meant to look into what triggers a recount there, and you’ve answered the question. Hopefully Begich can increase his lead, but in a place that elected Palin, all bets are off.

Sitting here in these chairs that I’m going to be proposing but in working with these governors who again on the front lines are forced to and it’s our privileged obligation to find solutions to the challenges facing our own states every day being held accountable, not being just one of many just casting votes or voting present every once in a while, we don’t get away with that.

That’s one sentence? Christ.

Assuming Palin’s star continues to shine (Governor’s conferences, keynotes and commencements, MTP appearances, etc.) there will be plenty of her onomatopoeia-speak on record. Kristol thinks she can “unite” the party. Between her inane babbling and the evershrinking Republican party (fundies, neo cons, deficit hawks), I’m positive she’ll be very effective and uniting the millions thousands hundreds dozens of party faithful left in 2012.

Not true about the automatic recount in AK – that only occurs in the event of a tie.

yes and stubborn,howya doin TB

It’s a little bit amazing to me that so many thugs think being “Sarahcentric” is the way to go. I agree that the more exposure she has, the better it is for the Dems. It will take a while, but everyone will realize that the average 15 year-old in a mall who says “Welcome to Chick Fil-A” working after school has a much better grasp of foreign and domestic policy and ideas in general.

Here’s the link and a quote from it:

Both campaigns asked donors for money to monitor the ballot review and counting. If the candidates end up within either 20 votes or half a percentage point of each other, either candidate or a group of 10 registered voters can request a recount without paying the $15,000 fee, Fenumiai said.

An automatic recount only occurs in an exact tie.

Agreed what is the GOP thinking pushing Sarah just because she is profamily in their view?
Are looks and the right belief advertising more important than the product inside?
Maybe for a low turnout election when voters are not paying attention.

Bill Kristol in ACTION!

Thanks for the info. Ten registered voters

The whole notion that she “never blinked” — even McCain had to suggest she pass the candidacy question by the First Dude — speaks to her Perma Disconnect Status.

PDS — pretty darn sure, she’s permanently disconnected from sanity.

My husband also has ADD. He also is brilliant, can manage a multitude of thoughts/tasks at one time, went to ONE college where he got a degree as a violist, and can speak in complete, intelligent, easily diagrammable sentences. He also reads everything he can get his hands on and doesn’t suffer fools. (Yes, the “also”s were in Palin’s honor.)

If Palin has ADD, she gives it a bad name.

Reckon she’s flashing any skin in Florida this week? That was my first thought when I heard that’s where the convention was being held. Can’t you just see her lounging by the pool?

Wow! Meghann spends $50K per month yet she still wears fugly sackdresses that look like she’s atoning for her sins and can’t get a decent dye job?

As for Palin, I really think she would’ve made a wonderful HR Director (with apologies to all the good HR Directors I’ve never had the pleasure of meeting). She’s two-faced, conniving, backstabbing, has no qualms about lying and talks in meaningless gobbledy-gook—sounds like every HR Director or Manager I’ve ever encountered!

I think that Wile E. Coyote has a better chance of catching the Road Runner than Kristol has of being right about anything.

The reason Sullivan is so forthright about this? He wants to be a conservative in a conservative political party that recognises talent and ability, and he can’t while the wingnuts are in charge.

We should support him all the way, because there will always be conservatives, and the ones who should be leading the discussion from that side need to have one thing in common: they are not Sarah Palin or her fans.

Also, too, you betcha: as a long-time hater of cliché-ridden idiots, Camille Paglia can lick my merkin.

Don’t fret, TBogg.

She’s got Gah! on her side.

I’d pay money to see someone diagram her sentence that starts “Sitting here in these chairs…”

It’s as if you took the head of Eliza Doolittle filled it with the brains of Chauncey Gardener

My initial reading of that was “as if you took the head of Eliza Doolittle and filled it was BACON”.

As Homer says, “Mmmmm, bacon”

I, too, will take back my considerable ragging on Sullivan for his commentary. How long will the Sullivan Conversion last? Only time will tell…

Please don’t insult Chauncey Gardener. He spoke in thoughtful, succinct, complete sentences that made perfect sense. Sarah Palin is no Chauncey Gardener.

I wish people on the left would shut up about Palin. Hell, she has the chops to become the George Wallace of the Republican party. I have no problem with the Repubs being in the wilderness for 25 yrs.

Yes, it amazing how low the expectations in the Republic are these days for leadership. On the other hand, this time the bozos look to have lost…for a few years. But, if they and their henchmen aren’t sent up the river soon, they’ll be back in power again…with an unwavering belief in their own infallibility! Not saying that throwing them in jail will cure them of their annoying and enduring arrogance…just saying that it might put a crimp in their plans…

6. Fights with Mike Huckabee for leadership of GOP snake handling wing, 2011.

I glossed Huckabee as Tyson . . . that might be interesting. Who would bite whose ear off?

The reason Sullivan is so forthright about this? He wants to be a conservative in a conservative political party that recognises talent and ability, and he can’t while the wingnuts are in charge.

When has that ever been true? My political education only goes back to Nixon, but I suspect he’s not representative.

Can there be a “conservative political party that recognises talent and ability?” As a smarter guy than me once said, “Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid people, it is true that most stupid people are conservative. “

It must be terrible to be such an idiot and be one of the few on the planet who don’t even know it. It would be hillarious if not for the small chance that she could have been a heartbeat away. It is still funny how the republics want her to lead their party. Now I totally understand why anyone voted for Bush and Mcnutjob. They are completely whacked and dumber than a bag of hammers.

And I now know that gah is actually a word.

It’s Wasillan for “D’oh!”

I think that Paglia has a column in Salon purely to bring in the page hits from lookie-loos coming to see the crazy lady rant.
