Recently America’s Ice Empress in Waiting, Sarah Palin, finished "writing" a 400 PAGE (both sides of the page) BOOK comprising words and intermittent punctuation strung together in complex patterns in an effort to convey, as Ms. Palin calls it: "stuff I know that I told that Jesus lady who, although not as pretty as me, writes good".
And even though about billion of the still embryonic books have been sold to people (many of whom cough*RichLowry*cough are under the mistaken impression that it will contain a scratch-n-sniff), there are still snooty-face elitists who do not take Sarah Palin AUTHOR and CHINESE SPEECH GIVER very seriously:
Former Gov. Sarah Palin won’t be the Republican nominee for president in 2012, a panel on NBC’s "Meet the Press" agreed this morning.
David Brooks, the conservative columnist for The New York Times, was so adamant on the point that he vowed that he’d eat his hat or a cup on the air if Palin became the nominee.
"She will not be, because people just don’t like that style of politics," Brooks said. He explained that primary voters — Democrats and Republicans — don’t go for harsh politics, or what he called "a margin on the edge."
Moderator David Gregory read the view of Steve Schmidt, who ran John McCain’s campaign last year, that a Palin candidacy could produce a "catastrophic election result."
On "Meet the Press," Republican strategist Mike Murphy agreed that Palin won’t be the nominee. "She has a constituency. She’ll never be the nominee," Murphy said. "It would be actually a disaster if she was the nominee."
Obviously Sarah Palin, AUTHOR and CHINESE SPEECH GIVER, has much work to do. So she retired to her new home office (formerly ‘Bristol’s Sexytime Bootytorium‘) and had Randy Scheunemann write one of those facebook things about Afghanistan while Sarah watched Ellen. Even though she’s a lesbian. Ellen is. Not Sarah. Oh, put it away, Lowry:
We can win in Afghanistan by helping the Afghans build a stable representative state able to defend itself. And we must do what it takes to prevail. The stakes are very high. The 9/11 attacks were planned in Afghanistan, and if we are not successful there, al Qaeda will once again find a safe haven, the Taliban will impose its cruelty on the Afghan people, and Pakistan will be less stable.
Sarah added that America also must not run out of those warm throw blankets or those dogs that look like Ann Coulter but Scheunemann just pretended to type that part and then he distracted her with a flashlight.

Democrats won’t be the people voting for or against Sarah Palin where Republican primary votes are key. Brooks is wrong. People (Republicans) do like harsh politics very much. For example: They (Republicans) loved it when Karl Rove and Dubya Bush informed the voters of South Carolina that Crazy-Train McCain had fathered a black child.
Palin will be on the ticket.
The best “selling” book is a freebie with a Newsmax subscription. Wheeee!
”I will eat my hat?”
Huckleberry Finn.
So David’s Brook & Gregory, Mike Murphy and some panel on NBC’s meet the press think they have the ‘credentials’ (ergo power) to sway Republican opinion. Good luck with that you frigging morons.
Say what? The party of the teabaggers, the party being led by Rush Limbaugh, won’t nominate who?
Note to Bobo: start shopping for an edible hat.
Note to Mike Murphy: your base is made up of people who are angry, stupid, and crazy. Palin is a shoo-in.
FunTrueFact: An investigation of his official school records clearly document that NBC’s David Gregory is functionally retarded.
But what does Billy K. say? Because he’s always right about everything.
I first read that as a catastrophic “erection” result. I assume that to mean that her candidacy will last for more than four hours?
God that woman is dumber than a box of hammers, but she sure has that effect on me.
Also.
Oh, Bobo put away your pearls and retire to your fainting couch already where you can fan yourself gently with a hand-held fan. More faux-genteelness from Brooksy, I see. “Why, I fair swain at the thought of rough-and-tumble politics!” Get thee to a bodice-ripper.
As for La Palina–wake me up when she actually does something worthwhile of note (and I mean in a good way).
That’s two scoops of awesome.
“”Oh, put it away, Lowry…”
Feh. By that time Lowery’s already done and snapping his fingers to have DoughBob Loadpants lap up the mess.
I think the joke’s on us. David Brooks doesn’t own a hat.
A “catastrophic election result”?? Does Schmidt mean he thinks she’d win the election?
…or anything functional on which to put one.
Nah, not if the Bush-McCain folk have any say in the matter. They’ve looked at the current crop and decided that Pawlenty’s the only one capable of winning in the general election — or at least losing without alienating most Americans so badly that the Republican hopes of retaking Congress get buried for the next two decades — so they’re casting their lot with him.
I remember the Republican base being horrified that the primary voters chose McCain in 2008. He appeared to be the most moderate guy on that crazy train.
So… maybe Brooks has a point?
Ew. I have to wash my hands after typing that.
Not only does Bobo get it dead wrong — of course Palin could be the nominee — but he doesn’t even mention the key reasons she should not be the nominee: she’s stupid and batshit crazy.
Obviously, stupid and batshit crazy are pluses when you’re going for the rethug nomination. Palin/Bachmann 2012! Come on rethugs, go for it! You know you want to.
Good grief, people. Do we need to go through this again?
Palin is not going to be the Republican nominee for anything, ever again. The GOP requires even its more louche legacy candidates to gut it out for at least one term; professional vacationist W could be counted on for the State of the Union addresses and the occasional Cabinet meeting. Our Bible Spice fancies herself above such things, and in the course of her short post-snowbilly-in-chief career has already stood up a few Jesus Luvz Gunz groups who found out, to their dismay, that a verbal promise to appear meant less than nothing once some Oriental mandarins dangled a few choice curios in front of her.
I know that it’s tempting to reflexively declare Bobo Brooks wrong about everything, but sometimes he’s just way behind the curve zeitgeist-wise.
Hmmmmmm. With the quality of incoherent crazy that does make it into Sarah’s speeches and intertube postings, I wonder what does get left on the cutting room floor. I bet stuff about blankets and dogs isn’t that far off, and more than one handler has buried his/her head in their hands while stating “Okay. Let’s start again, Sarah….”.
And that last line is another destined for the Tbogg section in Bartlett’s.
Mr. Jack,
You have waaaay more confidence in the sanity of the GOP than I do.
You can’t picture them nominating Palin with a Cheney-like VP to actually run the country (like with the idiot Bush)? Heck, they might go with Cheney himself, if the ole’ ticker is still ticking.
If the GOP elders decide that Palin is the only way they can really excite their batshit crazy base, I totally believe they would go with it.
Furthermore, I would not go into shock if this country actually elected a Palin/Cheney ticket. It all depends on the economy. If it’s still in the toilet…..stay tuned.
I’m w/ Halloween Jack, and not just because my birthday is Oct. 31. Palin was an unknown in the Lower 49 when she got veep. She’s all-too-known now. The quitting-the-governorship thing alone is a big, nail-studded club with which her primary opponents will beat her. They’ll goad her to (try to) speak on her feet, both of which will end up in her mouth.
All this, and we don’t even know what’s in the book. Bobo may be correct about the outcome and wrong about the reason. Per Murphy, her constituency may be visible and loud, but it’s not enough to counter all her manifest, adorable, and laff-worthy handicaps.
a Palin/Cheney ticket
Snowbilly/Satan 2012!
“… comprised of words and intermittent punctuation …”
Would somebody tell Mr. TBogg that the sentence should read “comprising words and intermittent punctuation” (”comprise [vt]: …”)? I woulda told him in private but I couldn’t find his e-mail nowhere.
This morning I read that “Sting revealed loophole in gun show sales.” I was surprised Sting knew about gun shows. (Then I realized sting, not Sting.)
IMO, GOP money won’t flow to Palin. The GOP money is going to try Jeb/Liz Cheney out on the Palin herd.
Bahahaha!
Interesting that a majority of Minnesotans have indicated that they would NOT vote for Pawlenty should he be the Repub candidate for president in 2012. And I would like to believe that there will still be plenty of voters in other states who will recall that an interstate bridge pancaked into the Mississippi River on Timmeh’s watch.
the divine sarah has left politics to cash in.
if she were still running for president, she would still be governess of alaska.
and if the phrase ‘governess of alaska’ has you flasking on stiletto heels and a bullwhip, it’s the dirty mind of the beholder
