As my spouse says, “Everyone’s born right handed, but exceptional people get over it, unless they think of it as a handicap and then they’re just poopyheads.”

I’ve been saying it for awhile now: Sarah’s real goal is a kind of Osmond-esque family dynasty. You can look forward to Palin Family Christmas specials any year now.

So I guess we can all deduce from Bristol’s defeat and thwarted bird flipping at the lamestream media haters reflects on America as a whole? Especially how Palin minions could bring her close, but aren’t a large enough voting block (let alone a majority) to propell her to win over a negro? Or a celebrity.

I sympathize with Bristol. My youngest son is a lefty and let me tell you it’s been quite an expense attending to his special needs…forks, knives and spoons, pens, pencils. And since he’s a little jock, tennis rackets, golf clubs, soccer balls (betcha didn’t think there were left-handed soccer balls!).

But, you know, his perseverance will, hopefully, pay off in the end.

I couldn’t be prouder of him. (Actually, that last part is true).

P.S. Also too, please bring back the embedded photo captions, please, pretty please? That photo is begging, BEGGING for a caption.

Um, I think it’s TBogg’s loyal readers who’re begging. I know I am, and with every unrewarded furtive hover I, well, I die a little.

O/T – lefthandedness didn’t seem to stop Reagan (scarred for life by being trained into nonlefthandedness), HW, Clinton, or Obama from winning the POTUS brass ring.

Paul McCartney and Sandy Koufax must have really perservered.

I am typing this left-handed. Persevere!

Hmmm….no mention of the troops in her comment. Is the lamestream media censoring Sarah’s words?

Congratulations to unwed mother Bristol. It’s amazing what a work ethic and perseverance can get you. /snicker

You write “tit-shimmy” as if it’s some nasty, undignified, slatternly behavior or something.

Tit-shimmying is what is keeping America safe, that and a lot of airport crotch-grabbing. So, for once, be a true American and get behind tit-shimmying, it keeps the crazy Jihadists at bay.

I shudder to imagine all those poor left-handed boys out there trying awkwardly to wank away to the sight of Bristol Palin’s adventures on the dance floor. Okay, I imagine that ONE kid, who, in addition to being a lefty is also cursed with no apparent taste whatsoever…

Srsly, left-handedness is supposed to trigger pity in this day and age? I think you’ll find that mama grizzlies simply snap the neck of cubs found to be challenged like that… it’s the new world order, better get a’practicin’ so you can hide your handicap when the grifter takes over…

Reminds me of that great composer, PDQ Bach, who overcame perhaps the greatest handicap any composer ever had to face: Complete and total lack of talent!

Asked by ABC’s John Berman if she was disappointed with the results Palin responded “no, not at all.” = Yes, totally.

We all know in Palin’s world Bristol shoulda won because she a right thinking Murkin. That’s what great about thoughts no one can actually tell what your thoughts are or even if you are actually thinking but if you can convince others that your thoughts are the right ones then the sky’s the limit.

I’m lefthanded. My mother used to (try to)teach me to knit by saying do this only backwards. Isn’t that how Fred made Ginger dance?

Total Win. See what you hippiez dont understan is that the flip side of resentment is entitlement. I learnt that from my Aunt Belva who snared a rich bankster with a well timed pregnancy and rode him into his grave in three short years. She spent the rest of her 87 years justifying her rich lazy ass and was damn good at it. Bill Buckley was a total fan of her Hayak-Strauss theory of FauxXtian Exceptionalism.

I see alot of Belva in Bristol, she hasnt done a damn thing but that doesnt stop her from claiming no-talent exceptionalism on the basis of Mama Bears no-talent resentment. Brilliant! An now with a third place finish she adds a rich patina of no-talent resentment of her own. How Amurican is that? There is no limit to the Realities Shows that are possible with that rich combination of resentment and entitlement.

PS I had to become left handed cause of my Wankel-Tunnel Syndrome an I still get disability fer it. That is what commonsence hard work and resentlement can git ya.

“PERSEVERE!!!” could be the new “WOLVERINES!!!1!”

If Bristol keeps persevering at The Old Town Buffet, those plumb left digits won’t make the bendy-move any more.

Poor thing. I think her “inny” belly button has burst into an “outty” and we all know that outty’s are the spawn of satan.

You know who else had an outty? Hitler!

Obama has also overcome the heartbreak of left-handedness.

Oh, I see MaryCh already mentioned that. I missed it because my eyes had teared up at the thought of mouseover captions and OH GOD I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. Me and my damn lack of comment-reading perseverance.

Bristol Palin’s Lefty America.

TLC could film Bristol wallowing in her way through the culinary landscape:

“Bristol Palin’s Never Ending Buffet”

or

“Cupcake Queen Eats America”

Also, the fact that she is left handed. I’m left handed and it’s an adjustment..you do things like pledge allegience with the wrong hand over your heart, starting off on your left foot when it’s suppose to be your right..etc. So, to me that was a handicap on top of her inexperience..

Oh, fer. Women start off dancing BACKWARDS, you ninny. That’s a little more of an adjustment than the right/left thing. Though if your partner’s good at leading, and you don’t overthink it, it’s really not that big a deal.

That’s if you practice. Which I somehow doubt occurred.

As Bristol is eating the American landscape, she can visit another DWTS-bot and cheer him up with a little naughty jailhouse rock.

You can look forward to Palin Family Christmas specials any year now.

You’re probably right. Just kill me now. (By the way, I officially hate you for making me even consider that idea…!)

I’m lefthanded. My mother used to (try to)teach me to knit by saying do this only backwards. Isn’t that how Fred made Ginger dance?

Did you have to knit in high heels?

Additionally, as his biographer notes, “in general, the dance music of PDQ Bach has led to theories that one of his legs was shorter than the other.”

I demand independent verification that any Palin is actually lefthanded! As a congenital southpaw, I doubt anyone on that family knows which is which.

I demand independent verification

They all wave left-handedly and this is certainly how a lefty claps and this is well, uh….

with every unrewarded furtive hover

Win of the day. Or anyway this post.

And, me three! Edit’s back – can furtive captions be far behind?

I can see how being left-handed has handicapped not only Pistol, but indeed the entire Palin commune (except for Trig — STOP making fun of him!!!).

They have had to suffer through the horrible exposure that being on TV, getting paid outrageous sums of money for getting pregnant and having out-of-wedlock children, being paid as guest stars on TV shows, and basically being forced to swim in money and products — all while living in lower-upper-class squalor in Wasilla, Alaska, and doing all of this LEFTHANDED.

And you sit there and mock their many disabilities. God you people make me sick (please add own punctuation, crushing debt has taken all of mine).

God you people make me sick (please add own punctuation, crushing debt has taken all of mine).

I just crushed my non-left ACL and feel plenty of “!!!!!!!!” and a few “*%@#!*&” with each step taken. You’re welcome to as many of those punctuations as you can give a good, loving home to. Grab ‘em quick though! The doc bills are starting to roll in and after peeping into the first few envelopes I sense an awe inspiring wave of crushing debt swooping down…..

So I assume Bristol wanted to give all of us who “hate my Mom” a big middle finger from her left hand?

The poor little Princess of Resentment.

Jimi. Fucking. Hendrix.

And my mama.

Or in Palin’s case, Perverseverance. Not a word, but close!

I, too am left-handed (along with Michelangelo, half of the Beatles and the President of the United States). Imagine my joy to find that I am part of a group that can now practice Teh Politics of Resentment (TM)! You righty bastards! I’ve been so oppressed by you that I didn’t even KNOW I was oppressed, aside from the occasional difficulty using a can opener.
When Bristol and the rest of us take over, it’s Death Panels for all of you.

Maybe she said she’s a straw hand rather than a hay hand and they translated?
