… the book will criticize the “over-commercialism” and “homogenization” of Christmas and call for a renewed emphasis on the religious importance.

So she’ll be giving the book away for free, right?

Joy to the World!

Well the Tundra Trash Grifter’s Sell-By Date is officially well & truly OVAH! But Trash is as Trash does, so Bible Spice is wringing every last drop of Grifter ca$hola outta her worshippers, who are no longer legion but still, sadly, exist (just ask my family).

What’s amusing about this great adventure, of course, is the irony of this Grifter advocating for less consumerism and at Xmas, no less.

I can see it now: Buy MY “book” but nothing else to celebrate the true reason for the season.

P.S. that photoshop is amongst the best.

No better way to fight the over-commercialism of Christmas than a book release just before Xmas about Xmas reclaiming Xmas for the Xian Xrazies!

I just thank the Baby Jeebus that Governor Palin has solved all of the country’s problems so she can relax a little and bring us a few hundred pages of unadulterated Christmas happy-pap. Sign me up for a bargain bin copy and a flamethrower.

And the year that Track immaculately knocked up his girlfriend (then wife, now ex-wife)

This really should not surprise me, but it does. Well, kinda.

Ah, it was mentioned in the news around Dec. 14; I wonder what else was going on that could have distracted from news of such national importance…?

You come up with the bestest baby names, and have done so since the AWM™ days.

We should take advantage of the well reported fact that we have a freedom-hating, America-destroying President, and get him to create a Cabinet-level Department of Mandatory Baby Names. Secretary of MBN TBogg has a rather nice ring to it.

Sarah for Pope! Is there a bigger grift than the Catholic Church?? You got your sexual shenanigans, billions in art, gold, land, etc. that can be unloaded when she needs a new pair of Pradas. Then there’s the Vatican Bank. Talk about a line of credit. Your fucking crowns, gowns and shit. People looking at her in wonder, awe and worship.   Finally, the Church will have the perfect representative on earth with all pretense removed. Yay!

Well, she can see Santa’s workshop from her house.

So her book will ‘call for a renewed emphasis on the religious importance’ of Christmas? Great! Mithras is the reason for the season, after all – and Saturnalia (can’t forget about Saturnalia), and observation of the winger solstice.

Hahahaha – ‘winger solstice.’ Subconscious comedy gold.

No, but give it a few months, and it will be in the bargain bins, marked down to $1.99. Perfect for a stocking stuffer for the following JesusMas.

The year that Bristol was pregnant with the immaculately conceived (while woozy from so many Bartles & James) baby Sled.

And the following year, baby Mush.

When you cross the Zombie-Apocalypse with the “War on Xmas,” this is pretty much what you can expect.

I thought Palin was also working on a “Humpin’ to the Oldies in your CFM Pumps” exercise book. Did that weighty tome go a-glimmering?

Too bad the ytube video of Sarah shootin’ reindeer for winter burger barbeques got pulled. Now that was Christmassy!

Go shut the fuck up…
Git more Sarah for Xmas?
Boy howdy, will I!

Amidst the fragility of this politically correct era, it is imperative that we stand up for our beliefs before the element of faith in a glorious and traditional holiday like Christmas is marginalized and ignored,” Palin said

Grifting in a Wingnut Wonderland.

Methyl Sue

I LOL’d.

Tip: If the crayons aren’t included with the book, take it to Friendly’s and use the crayons they provide with the kids’ menu.

Baby Sled?

So, did we all see the Doggie I’m adopting if I can get home? I think her name is Sweetie.

I am impressed that she can say “festive” and thought-provoking”
in the same sentence. Does she still have a speech writer?

and then there’s that other family now in overdrive rehabilitating the family brand…see also the totally outa nowhere 41 tribute on NBc Nightly News…and George P’s announcement. and Laura’s speaking out. and invisible George.

Sarah should get Laura Bush to write an endorsement. She’s back in the news so the timing couldn’t be better.

Laura Bush: ‘We have room’ for Republicans who ‘frightened’ women with rape talk

Christmas is all about inclusion, right?

The lead photo looks like a convention of Stepford wives (the men, as well). Is my imagination running away with me?

Her Fame Clock now reads 14:58, which means the final horn is about to sound on her tenure as a public figure.

From your lips to Baby Jesus’ ear…

Ooohhh my. Seriously I never was crazy about Laura but I never disliked her either. But after hearing her say that the Rethugs’ Big Tent has room for legitimate rape crazies because they’re so very, very heartfelt I’m feeling dislike begin to well up a bit. Maybe a lot. I think she might want to cut back on the botox a bit too – saying that stuff with a zombie botox face really doesn’t carry the warmth she maybe thought she was projecting.

Are those eyes photoshopped? Or is that a real copy of their picture?

The child at the front looks downright evil.

“Amidst the fragility…”

OK, you don’t need to go any farther than that. No way Palin said that unless somebody else wrote it down for her first.

“Remember: Jesus saves. But He saves even more at Walmart.”

Okay, that one’s even better than the X-Mas poster from Whole Paycheck featuring the butcher who looked like Jesus with a rib roast.

I notice she, like many, zero in on Muslims regarding Christmas. Every year since 2002 at the Library of Congress, until my retirement in 2009, I collected cards and presents (books and DVDs) for our wounded. (I served in Vietnam in 1971, that’s why.) The only complaints I got were from Jews, not atheists or Muslims, with condescending comments like “you know Jews serve also, don’t you?” I will tell anybody what I told them, Christmas isn’t about Jesus, it’s a business invention, but make it what you want. I told them Christian soldiers covered for Hannakah and Jewish soldiers covered for Christmas. I send secular cards, so they can do the same. It never mattered, as I went through this every year. To those who think I’m anti-Semitic, I lived and worked in Israel. Did you?

And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,

http://www.potw.org/archive/potw351.html

I have not been here often of late but I felt a disturbance in the Force.

You will undoubtedly notice that announcement didn’t say that Sarah Palin is actually writing the book using real words and punctuation and shit like that to form sentences which impart “ideas”. No, she just has a book coming out.

Sarah to be fair has a stream of consciousness Rhythm thing going on William Shatner reading Sarah like Sarah’s words were Beat poetry

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpbSwSlP4Yc

In literary criticism, stream of consciousness is a narrative mode that seeks to portray an individual’s point of view by giving the written equivalent of the character’s thought processes, either in a loose interior monologue (see below), or in connection to his or her actions. Stream-of-consciousness writing is usually regarded as a special form of interior monologue and is characterized by associative leaps in thought and lack of punctuation.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_of_consciousness_(narrative_mode)

Just because Sarah speaks in an Stream of Consciousness mode and sounds confused does not she is actually confused by the way I am sure she knows why she hates anyone not from Real America.

This woman will not go away if she’s buried at a crossroads with a stake through her heart.

I’m thinking a nuke launched from orbit.

It’s the only way to be sure.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 1 Corinthians 13:4

http://bible.cc/1_corinthians/13-4.htm

As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”

4Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many.

At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25See, I have told you ahead of time.

http://niv.scripturetext.com/matthew/24.htm

Sarah talks war hate etc but claims to serve God she seems to be a perfect fit for a rough beast.

Great–that photo’s gonna be my desktop background for a while!

When this thing sells three copies and Todd is caught loading 1,000 of them in his truck at Costco, trying to save SARAH from having a very Xmas sad and drive up her sales a little. . . maybe just maybe that will be the end of her.

Exactly. She can write–it’s stopping that’s more difficult.

This book will never happen. She’ll quit halfway through it.

So, we can expect her to explain the roots of Christmas? How the early church appropriated the pagan Roman Saturnalia to placate the heathen hordes by grafting on a so-called christian aura to their celebration? The banqueting, partying, gift-giving were a nifty series of perks, too, to attract future rubes to the fold. Especially when you attach it all to the birth of a cuddly baby Jesus. Who cares if he was really probably born sometime in early autumn? May as well bundle it all up in a neatly festooned gift package.

More bull shit from the greatest grifting family ever. Did she get a Christmas TV special package for this as well?

The eyes. I love the eyes.

A match and a touch of gasoline works well too. I’ve used them once or twice myself.

I was thinking maybe the same fix as I want for Darth: wooden chopsticks soaked in garlic juice and wrapped in silver wire, run through all the chambers of her heart, and her mouth and body cavities stuffed with garlic.

I’m told that if you simply stuff the mouth with garlic, it doesn’t kill them, but it keeps them from climbing out of the coffin.

Shoto @ 12 has a good point: Where is the fitness book the bitch was supposed to be writing last fall? She couldn’t finish that either??

She can write well give a speech at least she certainly inspires her flock she writes for HER audience they are also hateful and crazy.
But Sarah and her audience know exactly why they hate.

Haiku!

Watch to see if she starts wearing high-necked tops. Then we’ll know she’s getting ready to pack it in.

Is it too late to save Piper?

Yes, it was watching Glen Rice play hoops on NBA Christmas Day with Todd and the whole family, under covers, to keep nice and warm.

Maybe Katie Couric can ask her if she’s even read the book.

Really, HarperCollins? Who’s the marketing genius who green-lighted this project? Is there an audience out there for a failed Vice Presidential candidate, half-term governor to “speak out” on a non-issue? Does anyone (even the faithful) care what Palin says, especially during an off-election year?

Wingnut welfare at its finest. And by finest I mean, mind-bogglingly absurd.

Amidst the fragility of this politically correct era,

What the fuck does this even MEAN? The “fragility” of this era?

You can imagine what this “book” will cost! Thank you, HarperCollins, for battling against the commercialization of Christmas!

…and let’s not forget the year Sarah supposedly did the horizontal hula with Hubby’s business partner.

At first, I thought, “What a lovely way to start a yule log fire!” But burning books is much too Nazi/Bible humper for my politically correct arugala-munchin’ tastes.

There’s no better way to insult $arah (apart from not buying her Xmas drivel for hire) than to recycle it. Pulp is the cleanser!

Isn’t she about five years late with a war on Christmas book? Isn’t that particular form of faux outrage well past its sell by date?

I thought that too. Not to mention Sarah being way past her sell by date. There’s always the bulk buyers to scoop ‘em up and hand ‘em out, tho.

No one can make money off of Xmas xept Sarah. I don’t think this is such a big deal, all in all. Keep her in the public eye and get the family some scratch while she contemplates next moves. Bet there will be some cookie and grog recipes, some nice floral arrangements. That would give you the option to go Christian Martha Stewart down the road. . .

Who’s the marketing genius who green-lighted this project? Is there an audience out there for a failed Vice Presidential candidate, half-term governor to “speak out” on a non-issue?

Seriously? The Palin Rube Mountain Gold Strike is incredibly rich….I bet HC will be doing the entire book. The only “work” Palin will do is a photo-shoot for the cover. That really is the most important part of this book, anyways. I doubt most of the Sarah Palin Fan Club will ever read it, but they’ll proudly display the book next to their Walmart Nativity Creche.

Maybe Katie Couric can ask her if she’s even ever read the a book.

FTFY

the book will criticize the “over-commercialism”….of Christmas

That’s funny, because as an atheist, I can’t stand the over-commercialization of Christmas. If they would just relegate it to a quanit religious holidy, I wouldn’t have to rack up hundreds of dollars of credit card debt on gifts and put up decorations on my lawn every year.

Yeah, seriously.

Where is the upside for HC to lay out the cash to publish another Palin book? I assume that HC is still a money-making operation and that it’s not keen on ponying up to pay her. If Sarah’s remaining fan is not going to buy the book and it ends up in the remainder bins at Walmart and Books a Million, from where does that cash come? Heritage, AFP, Fox?

Princess Dumbass is well past her freshness date. All her former promoters have pretty much backed off. So who’s fronting the cash for HarperCollins to publish a book that nobody is going to buy or care about?

It’s the guy who photoshops the cover sparkles. He also does the Douthat gif on this site.

Doh, of course. ;-)

Of course it’s a stale topic, but that just underlines the desperation.

The following fact will make you want to open the veins in your wrists: Palin has racked up at least $20 million from her grift over the past 4 years, so it’s doubtful that money has much to do with putting out another “book.” She continues to “write” “books” because she’s an attention whore, not because of the money.

I wonder who’s ghost-writing it…

I gave up on that shit years ago. When someone asks what I’ll be doing for xmas, I just tell ‘em, “I’m sleeping all day, ’cause I know the shop is closed!” I stashed the menorah in the storage space in my toolshed, though- it might come in handy fabricating a bracket or something. I don’t believe any of that nonsense. Fuck yeah, it’s “Happy Holidays!”

$arah P will run this hustle until the last chump goes broke or dies. I’d still like to see a good ol’ scandal hit the Palin Klan. It’ll be the gift worth giving!

“Amidst…”

Sarah Palin has never, ever started a sentence with ‘amidst’. Sarah Palin thinks ‘amidst’ is that foggy stuff that hovers over one of the Alaskan swamps.

I’m sure it’s been written above and pardon me for not reading all the comments but, jeebus, she did not write that. We know it. Her supporters fucking know it.

Sarah’s 12 Days-o-Christmas-palooza? What an awesome pop-up book for the old horny fuckers! And by pop-up I mean, well…

Drummers Drumming, Piper’s Piping (the kid should lay off the pipe), Ladies Pole Dancing (part of that unfinished exercise booky thingy), Maids-a-Milking (yikes! do not want to know!), Swans-a-Swimming (until BLAMMM!! you dead muthafucker and got your head shoved in the funnel), Gold RBling!, French Ticklers, Turtle Dove Bars (cottage cheese thighs! cottage cheese thighs!) and a Partridge in a Pear Tree…

Good gravy, this is why you can never retire from blogging. Damn. Made me laugh outloud.

Like our Free Market Fortunate Sons such as Mitt Rmoney and Donald Chump, Jesus showers us with his wonders from above. God: The Original Trickle-downer!

“And by pop-up I mean, well…” V*agrah-dependent?

Christ on a crutch.

“Christian soldiers covered for Hannakah”

No one takes Hannakah off, dumbshit.

Most right wing books are meant purely for display, to piss off liberal coworkers and relatives.

OMG–you are all making the wrong guesses. This is going to be her master plan to bring down the US economy and win the White House forever for the Real Americans. I mean, with her legions of True Believers buying this book and then going all Galt on the Christmas season, well…you can see how that, along with sequestering all of those takers is going to tank the economy. You can see this…right? Right? Um…just as soon as they put the book down, shop Walmart and stack the tree with more useless crap made in overseas sweatshops, they’ll think about it.

“..Bible Spice..”

Well, now, let’s hold on there. On behalf of the comparatively far more moral, virtuous and intellectual (not to mention likable)* Spice Girls, I think this offensive characterization is grossly unfair. Please, stick to “Snowbilly Snooki” – neither of the referents can be the least bit offended. Heck, neither of them will know what it means, and both are likely to feel that it’s a compliment.

* Yes, even Mrs. Beckham.

You know what they say: A megaton of prevention…

HarperCollins announced Monday that the book will criticize the “over-commercialism” and “homogenization” of Christmas and call for a renewed emphasis on the religious importance.

Keep it to yourself, and it won’t be ‘homogenized’, or past your eyes, either.
