I’m surprised nobody’s offered the Quitter from Washitter a reality show. Something along the line of The Hills, only based in Alaskie.

Wait, I’m still aroused by her fading physical charms, but I have a thing for uptight Republican women, and trying to convert them into bad, naughty liberals.

Is that wrong? Damn right it is…

Back during the ‘08 campaign, Palin commented at one of the campaign stops how good it was to be someplace warm. I knew then that she would never go back to Alaska year-round. The money she’s accumulating during this little spurt of fame will be used to buy a “second” house someplace warm, and Todd and the kids will be relegated to the North Country while the fading beauty queen stays where she can better strut her stuff, unencumbered by family responsibilities.

Is there anyone who really believes she’s going to show up for the Oprah interview?

First, she’s going to rake Millions out of the Dumbest 25% of US – as a ‘political’ candidate…

…and then, by 2012, she’ll be a Televangelist…

…preaching to the Dumbest 25% of US about the End of the World.

Excellent summation of the entire Palin phenomenon. Too bad there’s no one in the mass media w/ the perception or intestinal fortitude to just type or say this for all to see & hear.

You’ll get plenty of “Prophet in the Wilderness” points though.

The Oprah appearance will trigger George Will to shit out a few columns that read something like this:

The Palin Phenomenon
No one should be surprised at the resurgent fortunes of Sarah Palin. Her ability to annoy liberals has made her the standard bearer for those millions of Americans who are appalled at Obama’s insinuation of government into every aspect of their lives. Democrats will predictably underestimate the influence of this plucky and plain-spoken Alaskan in 2012 and it will be their undoing…

Anyone can do it, George. Anyone.

She hates your smug elitist lower-48 ways …

… As God is her witness, she’s never going to settle for Wasilla again.

Sarah Palin, and for that matter the entire conservative movement, in a nutshell. Except that they can make this turnaround even quicker than the two paragraphs it took you.

I believe she will. She has a book to push, after all.

Brace yourself, Tom, San Diego’s a likely locale for the scenario you describe. She spent some time there “writing” her book, as you know, and McCain’s got surplus mansionage on Coronado just begging for tenancy to boot.

Posts like these remind me why you’re far and away my favourite blogger. Absolutely perfect.

Phoenix is warm. She can buy my house too. Also. It’s not more than half a mile from the McCainery. It’s warm here, altho not now particularly, but generally. There’s room for moose in the backyard if she needs them. By the pool.

That Matthew Continetti book is going to be a real knee-slapper – I spotted three lies in the book-jacket blurb alone.

Are she and McCain even on speaking terms any more? Lord knows his aides hated and still hate her guts — they were the first ones to spill the beans on her.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Guess he’ll write about the World Series, though.

Lower 48? Hell, her kin and cohort were resentful of Anchorage. As for her putative political career, I intend to cover my bets on when she’ll drop out–and have a little left over for beer and skittles–by fleecing Republican rubes with sucker bets that she won’t make it to the convention. Although, frankly, I’m a little worried about collecting, once they’ve sent the kids’ community college fund off to pay for Sarah’s Prada.

Nicely filleted. The only T-shirt she’ll ever need: “I’m only in it
for the money.”

Was just realizing that the shirt in that photo is, just like her opinions, exactly bass ackwards now. Ironically, it now can read:

“I may be busted, but I’m not broke.”

Nailed it perfectly.

And, TBogg? This entry is a thing of beauty. That is all.

Nicely done. The word “axiomatic” will probably be in there somewhere, and a quotation from a Victorian-era British essayist–perhaps Thomas Carlyle.

Why is Palin’s record best “selling” book free from “News”Max and Townhall?
And why has Amazon dropped it to $9.99?

Because that’s the MO of wing-nut welfare – they purchase bulk copies of the book in question, get it on the best seller lists, then in a month or so it becomes the “Free for your donation of $XX” come on to get people to donate some more.

Which is why the NY Times (and some others) notate those “best sellers” that achieved that distinction via bulk buys.

Amazon has cut their price on a number of forthcoming releases to $9 to compete with Wal-Mart and Target’s sites. It’s not just Caribou Barbie’s forthcoming epic.

She may last longer than all that – Newt Gingrich blazed the trail for R has-beens with gravity defying hangtime and self-regard.

Stupid and evil, with high self-regard and little acknowledgment that others even exist. Sounds like a long career in the rightie pantheon awaits her, if she can only de-tweak long enough to decide what she wants… and show up.

“…venal grasping fraudulent second-rater…” Needs more perjorative adjectives. Shallow, dilatory, lying, bigoted…I could go on and on.

Wow, the list of “Editorial Reviews” of Matthew’s book reads like a Who’s Who of Republican sleaze and/or thuggery.

“Matthew Continetti has written a touch [sic], revealing look at how the bias or habits of liberals in the media led them to assault a political figure who shared neither their values nor background. Whether you like Sarah Palin or not, this well-researched and meticulous volume strips the bark off influential players in journalism.”
-Karl Rove, former deputy chief of staff and senior advisor to President George W. Bush

Also. Brit Hume. Byron York. John Ziegler. Et al.

To be fair to Palin, she is exceptionally qualified to be the next nominee of the Republican Party, since she has extensive experience gutting carcasses.

And there also remain Grandmother-of-TriGG-and-TriPP $arah Palin’s never-gonna-go-away ethics problems, which Phil Munger of Progressive Alaska sums up nicely here, with links:

http://progressivealaska.blogspot.com/2009/10/forget-levi-celtic-diva-corners-crazy.html

Did you know that a “pregnant belly” is square, with corners? That $P, whatta maverick!

Wasilla is small. It’s Sarah Palin that got big.

She hates your smug elitist lower-48 ways because, when you come from Wasilla, everyone from the lower-48 is an elitist.

I wonder what she thinks of those of us from Hawaii?

a) she can’t see us from her house;
b) we are, geographically, “lower” than AK.

So what are we, chopped sushi? [In Hawaiian, that's known as "poke".] [Pronounced "po-kay."]

She has disdain for anyone who does not recognize her awesomeness, including her own family. She will grab any offer that comes her way as long as it involves money. And the media will continue to drag her out as qualified to speak on the issues of the day, just as they do of Gingrich, DeLay, Armey, Liz Cheney and all the regulars.

FWIW, he also posted it over at Seminal under his nom de blog of Ed*ard Teller

Because wingnuts who run out of oil in December will need them to light their fireplaces. And for toilet paper, also.

I have been reading you for about three years now and I have just one thing to say:

You gotta write a comic novel someday…

Your stuff is just too damned funny.

If I weren’t a post-menopausal gay man, I would have your baby(ies).
