This comes from Robert Schlessinger as reported on US News:
Americans for Tax Reform's Grover Norquist, one of the conservative movement's top leaders, sat down with U.S. News editors and reporters recently to talk about the lay of the political land. When talk turned to 2012 prospects, he had interesting takes on a number of contenders, but one name he didn't include on his list of those running was former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
When asked about a potential Palin candidacy, Norquist said he didn't think she's in it. He said:
I don't think Palin's running. She didn't go to CPAC. She had $100,000 to go speak to 600 people in Nashville instead of going to CPAC. That's not somebody who's running for president.
He added that the way for Palin--or any contender for 2012--to get serious would be heavy involvement in 2010.
If Palin goes and campaigns in 30 House seats and helps elect 30 House people, then despite missteps and other things she could be back on the program. But if she just gives speeches and makes money and just from time to time shows up, then no.
Well we KNOW that Palin is certainly not going to put that much effort into gaining GOP support. She is too busy pimping out her family and going after her detractors.
Still not convinced? The listen to what past Palin pantie sniffer John Ziegler has to add.
Palin booster John Ziegler was on Morning Joe Wednesday and said that "she has gone down a path that makes that absolutely, positively impossible in 2012, to beat Barack Obama." He noted that her Fox gig and "cozying up to people like Glenn Beck and elements of the tea party that I think she's rather naive about" won't help her with moderate and centrist voters critical to winning in 2012. Hot Air's Ed Morrissey also agreed. He blogged:
At least in 2010, Republicans need to have a big draft among disaffected independents in order to gain a governing coalition in Congress, and then they need to maintain that reach in 2012 if they want to make Barack Obama a one-termer. The nominee will have to have credibility with both the base and with independents in order to achieve the necessary cohesion and energy to defeat an incumbent President ... Palin’s moves since 2008 have gone in the opposite direction.
Do I think that Palin is still dangerous? Yes I do. She still retains the support of some of the most unstable people in the country and if she decides to direct them to back a candidate or incite them to violence she could still do that.
As reported in this ABC article Sarah Palin, along with Lou Dobbs, Glenn Beck, and Michele Bachmann share much of the blame for the frightening increase in Right Wing extremism.
And though some of the her anti-Hollywood teabaggers might have trouble trusting her if she keeps hobnobbing with the likes of Jay Leno or Oprah Winfrey, she is still on track to retain her even more fervent evangelical followers. Especially the ones who buy into the 7 Mountains Movement in which Dominionists are encouraged to infiltrate these seven peaks of influence.

So is there any danger that Sarah Palin will become president? No!
Is she still a dangerous influence? Yes!
Will she eventually be stopped? You betcha!
And before you ask, yes I am still working on babygate and following multiple leads. And yes I feel I am getting ever closer to making an airtight case.
And no I cannot give you, or the Palin-bots visiting this site, a timeline for when everything will come together. We have already had a substantial impact so be confident that we will continue to reveal truths that Sarah and her followers are desperate to keep from seeing the light of day.
Take solace in the fact that as evidenced by the preponderance of negative comments I attract here and on other blogs I am clearly very worrisome to those who are trying to protect sister Sarah from her past misdeeds.
Bravo Gryphen.
ReplyDeleteEven if she signed a paper saying she will not run, I still want her brought down.
ReplyDeleteEnough of this country and its worship of anyone who is a trainwreck. Politics cannot become American Idol or Whose smarter than a fifth grader and tarnishing her with her lies is still important.
Gryphen, you are doing nothing but engaging in your wishful thinking when you say she's not a threat to become president. And you try to reinforce that with evidence that does nothing of the sort.
ReplyDeleteI talk to conservatives because I'm not afraid to talk to them and I assure you, not a one of them will put down Palin at this point in time. Most of them are even outspoken about her miraculous ability and understanding of what will revive America.
As lame and ridiculous as that all is, the conservatives have learned nothing from what Bush2 did to your country. They view everything as Obama's fault. They view Palin as the great white hope because she talks their exact party line. And most important of all, she appeals to stupid people who don't have a clue about good government because she [b]looks good.[/b]
She's learning how to speak in public and she's learning how to dodge questions such as those which will be put to her by hard interviewers. Never again will a softball interview such as Couric's make a fool of her.
Expect the worst and camapaign and fight against it. Don't put it down as an impossibility because it certainly is not!
And just when Gryph posts that SP retains the support of unstable people, one shows up to defend her.
ReplyDeletePerfect comedic timing.
As an observant Jew, I can say that few things frighten me more than the notion of government being based on "love and fear of God." Because that sort of notion (besides being unconstitutional) makes room for a dishonest, unstable, leader such as Palin.
ReplyDeleteAnon @ 10:08, Do you believe that Sarah is the second cuming of Jesus? You just might have something there!
ReplyDeleteLOL
Sarah Palin has ZERO intentions of running for anything except a limo, a check, crunch wraps and the Fuck Me Boots she always manages to sport.
ReplyDeleteAs far as her supporters are concerned, there have always been dangerous crazies. Sarah is a bit of an idiot and doesn't see that her hateful rhetoric will one day bite her in the ass. Angry teabaggers and soon angry supporters who wanted to see her at the White House won't be too quiet. Or they'll just shut up and slink quietly away from embarrassment.
But really--she doesn't care.
What Sarah truly prays at is the temple of the greenback. And that is who she is. Let's face it Gryph, Sarah is laughing that anyone took her serious politically. Throwing political Molotov cocktails was just a way to get her face on television. The PAC did the same thing. Others might be using Sarah to their ends--but all she wants is the money. And that's all she'll ever want. She'll get on her back like a two dollar ho if there's a big check at the end of it.
I personally want to see her with her own reality show where ex-Palinites show up at a restaurant for a little confab with Ms. Palin. Fun-- huh?
Thanks Gryphen, and yes this does make me feel better. And yes she is still dangerous because of the very unstable Xtians who couldn't have an original, independent thought if their very life depended on it. Which come to think it, maybe it will. Think Jim Jones.
ReplyDeleteReading the ABC article, to hear Dobbs & like ilk say the author of the report is paranoid. Really?? I immediately recalled a report (around March/09) that the Secretary of Homeland Security released, and which was actually started or came from the Bush office, whereby she included 'right wing extremism' and others and she got trashed for it. She walked it back and then voila -- it came true.
ReplyDeleteHere's a very small part of the report. See if it's something that sounds familiar to many of you - think about a show by Shannyn last week inclusive of a conversation about The Oath Keepers:
"Recruiting returning vets: “Rightwing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to exploit their skills and knowledge derived from military training and combat.”
Dobbs has been under a rock for a while so for him to rear his head out to comment -- you know it hit right on target.
Here's the link to HuffPo back in March '09 for a reminder:

ReplyDeleteYou wrote: "Take solace in the fact that as evidenced by the preponderance of negative comments I attract here and on other blogs I am clearly very worrisome that s. manure is a dumb cunt to those who are trying to protect sister Sarah from her past misdeeds."
ReplyDeleteThere is no solace to be taken when we're talking about Palin.
Here is what I think: IF the situation was one where she could win in 2012, it would mean the country and world would be literally falling apart. And if that were happening, we may not care!
ReplyDeleteDid you see that S P was shopping a nature in Alaska documentary series while in CA for Leno? Apparently she's pursuing another of the 7 peaks. From www.Boston.com entertainment section.
ReplyDeleteHa! Those that stay silent are also to blame for her influence.
ReplyDeleteBut it doesn't matter at this point. Palin has covered herself completely. I can see it in every FU she shows you.
I no longer believe she will be taken down, by babygate or anything else for that matter. I am also starting to think that she actually is quite brilliant in some ways. She has dodged bullets like a master.
Do I think she will run for Pres... not at this point, but I absolutely think she could influence greatly who does become the next Pres.
Scary, but there is nothing the bloggers can do about it.
I'm just wondering if she thinks she's running and lining her pockets to fund her own campaign. Geoff Dunn has said she's already assembled team to run. I don't ask because I think she would be a electoral threat to President Obama (although she is a threat in terms of who she leads), but because she seems to be so delusional and out of touch with reality. She really seems convinced that nothing matters other than her firm belief that God has chosen her. I could see her still trying to run for the Republican nomination, losing it and funding her own third party run. Just like this new book seems to be designed to make her look smarter, she really seems to think that the more the public gets of her, the better they like her, when the opposite has been true. Then her Animal Planet-esque documentary about AK. I'm willing it's designed to get her back in the good graces of some Alaskans and to give the lower 48 a phoney picture of how much she cares about the state and how much AK loves her. These are money making endeavors, yes, but their also tools with which she hopes to gain credibility. Just like she tried to appear middle of the road on Leno. She may not have a genuine shot in hell at the nomination or the WH, but there's no guarantee that she's gotten that through her mentally disturbed brain.
ReplyDeleteHow does it feel to know that your lifes work is all for naught.
ReplyDeleteYou keep on investigating though... if it fills your days with something to do besides watching TV.

Anon: Mrs. Todd Palin is not a Christian.
ReplyDeleteDo followers of Jesus sow discord and tell lies? Do followers of Jesus make it as hard as possible for a father to see his son?
Do followers of Jesus call people names in books?
Do followers of Jesus specialize in snarky comments about rivals?
She is not a follower of Jesus. She should be ashamed of her behavior.
IF she were a Christian she would try kindness and love, not us against them.
Anon @ 10:08 -
ReplyDeleteSecular does not mean "atheist" or even agnostic. To make such a grossly incorrect comparison is blatantly disingenuous.
To try and make the case that governments and nations run from religious platforms aren't irresponsible or violent is blatantly stupid. That's stuff most of us learned in high school.
Susan in MD
I love your stuff! She really scares me along with Beck and Rush. What I would like to see is the IRS go after her and put her in jail. Then she can work in the prison laundry (A real job)! keep the faith and your powder dry!
ReplyDeleteI've thought for some time that Sarah Palin could not run for anything ever again as long as babygate was still out there unresolved.
ReplyDeleteWhile MSM would currently give her a pass, I can't imagine even a primary opponent where she posed a challenge, much less a Democrat in a general election, would let this go unanswered.
All MSM needs to fully pursue the story is a starting gun they can't ignore. Charges from an election opponent would get it going and she'd have to answer someone sooner or later. The longer she ducked it or tried to deny with "it's already been debunked", the more firmly a political rival would press the details.
"Show me the birth certificate."
"Show me the medical records."
"Explain again why you boarded two airplanes for long flights while in labor."
In her position I'd go for the money and the friendly audiences, too. In fact, I think that one reason MSM doesn't pursue the story. She's a ratings magnet and is so attractive (on the outside) that maintaining her political potential serves their interests.
But we know the truth. She's a fraud in many ways, including NOT being a 5-time mother.

Anon @ 10:08
ReplyDeleteThank you Pat, I'm glad you had a few moments to spare before you went on the air.
Look, apparently you did not hear or bother to listen to the words that Sarah Palin spoke in the Christ Wallace interview.
What she said is that she supports the idea of going to war with Iran.
If we are to understand that the "Love of God" somehow translates into English as War is God, then may your God bless your ignorant little noggin all to pieces.
On the other hand, if "Love of God" translates into English as Love, then may God bless all our little noggins.
You take all that time and comment space to juxtapose war and sex. Do you have any idea that there is a difference?
Frankly, given the choice, most level-headed Americans will choose sex--after all, it does offer life rather than death.
And now, you are probably trying to think and bring up the idea of abortion. Well, here is my response, before you even ask your stupid the question:
Which might be the greatest insult to your God?
(a) a miscarriage? (God's will)
(b) an abortion? (A woman's will)
(c) the death of an infant during
an act of war? (Neocon choice)
(d) the death of a solder during
battle? (Playing dice with
life)
(e) war being sold as a "Mission
from God?" (Dominionist will)
Now then, let's talk about corporations. Which might be the greatest insult to your God:
(a) the movie industry? (make a
choice to see)
(b) the Johnson & Johnson industry?
(Q tips, etc.)
(c) the banking industry?
(Capitalism at its finest)
(d) the military industrial
complex? Including
Blackwater/Xe, etc.
(blood money all around)
(e) the religion industry?
(You owe a minimum of 10%
before taxes while they reap
in unimaginable tax exempt
profits--but then, the Bennie
Hinns and Pat Robertsons need
a fancy place to live)
I'm not afraid of Sarah Palin. But, I would suggest that if you believe she is just like you, invite her to your house as a guest..see if she takes you up on your offer...better yet, the next time you are in Wasilla, pop in for a visit--no doubt she will answer the door herself and offer you lodging for the night.
Your ignorance may be bliss for you, but it is a nightmare for the rest of the world. We are not scared of Sarah, it is you and people like you that is a full fledged danger to the generations to come.
Gryphen: you go man. Just be careful because the trolls are out in full today. When their idol is caught on camera doing/saying things they have a hard time justifying with their bible-thumping attempts cross between logic and wishful thinking, they start attacking the bearers of truth. And the looting by Sarah and company in LA has them confused. They can't justify it. It is blatantly wrong. The biggest movie stars, the actual divas in Hollywood don't behave that badly. It is just so cheap! Mos of us had mothers who taught us not to be greedy; not to behave in that fashion. And they know it. On top of that, her possible connection with Chavez, the disavowment of her by Republican spokespersons, some of the MSM, even her "silly" attempts at comedy; it is just getting to be really tormenting to try and hold your head up in Palinbotville.
ReplyDeleteanon at 11:00AM, you wouldn't be here if this didnt hit a nerve, eh?
ReplyDeleteAnon idiot at 11am: The Alaska blogs have done great work getting her lies and crap into the MSM. WE have made her look ridiculous to most people. Sure, America is shallow and they LOVE to watch a good slow motion train wreck and they will pay her for the pleasure, but no one takes her seriously anymore and WE did that.
ReplyDeleteShe's out there trying to improve her image but I don't think it will have the desired effect on the majority of rational people.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work Gryphon. You may not be making big bucks like that creep, but you have won the respect of a lot of people.
ReplyDeleteEveryone I know finds $P contemptable, even disgusting.
Anyone thinking Sarah Palin has any prayer of getting elected to any office, check out her poll numbers.
ReplyDeleteThey're in the toilet.
She'll never be president because she'll never get the nomination, despite the P'bot fantasies of a Christianist takeover lead by Sarah Palin. She's already cost the Republicans one presidential election. I highly doubt she will be given another chance to cost them another election.
If she ever came close?
It's not Gryphen's revelations she needs to worry about as much as what her fellow Republicans have on her, and will use if necessary to keep her out of the next presidential elections.
However I really think she's more interested in show biz; much less work and much more profitable.
Her political brand is over. Her "Freaky Too Much Surgery Celeb" brand is still here.
ReplyDeleteI am guessing her new book will be, "The Writing on the Hand." She thinks she is so clevar by turning the "going rogue" criticism into something that works for you. Now, you have seen her tackle other potent criticism this way too, especially thing "hand" issue. She is now trying to "own it" and make it funny, and the same with the vanity accusations (botox stand up joke).
ReplyDeleteSo...whatch for that new clevar title. ;)
I also hope that this "airtight" case is not based on the ears. It is the same child wether you want to believe it or not. I hope you have more, and anxiously am awaiting it.
Though, with these good tidding of joy from her "friends," and seeing her get thrown under her own bus, I am growing less anxious.
Anon 11:00- How is it going to feel when you find out your life work was all for naught? Maybe instead of watching TV and posting on sites you don't agree with, you should be investigating Sarah, you may just learn something.
ReplyDeleteSo, the bots are justifying the reality show now?
ReplyDeleteFeeling ripped off yet?
Oh yeah, great work you have done. Palin is richer than she ever was, shes traveling more than she ever has, she has more influence than she ever had and she has a much bigger voice now than she ever had. And there is no end in sight.
ReplyDeleteyeah the blogs have really shown her alright (eyeroll)

SHAME ON YOU! That's a clear and unforgiveable insult to all mobility-challenged people.
Maybe stoning is too good for people like you.
/sarcasm, in light of what right-wingers are saying about that poor beast Tillicum
I'm hoping that we are going to hear more about the Two Baby Theory. The more I think about it, the more it actually makes sense.
ReplyDeleteWe saw the Heaths photographed holding a big fat baby right after he was supposed to have been born four weeks early. No Way! Fat is developed during those last four weeks, and the baby with the ruffled ear (Ruffles) looks more like a premature birth than Big Fat Baby ever did.
The way that I can make sense of having a big fat baby (with DS) on hand was because Ruffles was never going to be Sarah's baby. He may have been the victim of Bristol's party ways and excess. After they looked at the photos and had the baby examined by a doctor, they must have realized that he would never lead a normal life. If Fetal Alcohol Syndrome was the cause, Sarah could not be the mother.
(How would that look to the Religious Right? And, she said that she didn't drink. It would confirm that Bristol was the mother).
A baby with DS would cement her Right to Life Values, especially when we remember her various versions of wrestling with choice, getting amniocentesis, even sneaking in the back door to see a geneticist. That story got better and better, and made Sarah a viable choice as VP candidate.
The question that remains unanswered is what happened to Ruffles? Adoption? Ill health and FAS took a tragic toll on the little baby? No wonder Bristol had such tense relations with Sarah, and (unconsciously) sought to replace him as soon as possible.
So, please, Gryphen, give us your thoughts and wrap up this story. I secretly hope that Audrey reads your blog; she needs to have her hard work vindicated. And, the longer that Sarah remains a ratings grabber, fund raiser and media star, the more dangerous she becomes-- not because she may run for president, but because of her influence. And, oh horrors, what if there was a tea bag president who could appoint Sarah to his cabinet?? Yes, Sarah is dangerous. Maybe Ruffles can help to remove her from the public stage.
Why would the millions of people who voted against her in 2008 suddenly vote FOR her later? Her stunning lack of character (among other things) is common knowledge now. It's plain to see that she's in it for the mammon she worships (tsk tsk)and will waggle that carrot-on-a-string of political involvement 'til the bots give her every penny they can't spare.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if she and Todd lay in bed at night and laugh at them.
There is no way Palin could stand up to the scrutiny of her opponents in ANY primary race...let alone when the MSM finally grows a set.
ReplyDeleteShe has very clearly chosen entertainment over politics. And I agree with an earlier post that Palin wants to be the Christian Oprah. I had originally thought she wanted Limbugs job....even though he is an ASS, he seems to work hard to keep up with current affairs and prepare for his show. Simply put, I don't think Sarah wants to put the work in.
Gryphen - hopefully you'll have babygate info ready before book 2 comes out. This woman doesnt deserve a another book on the best sellers list!
Anon. 10:08 - "Love Sarah, do not fear her".
ReplyDeleteLoving each other based on Christ's teaching is correct. But, scriptures teach to fear God only. Not man. 1 Cor. 14:33: But God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
If there's a possibility that Sarah Palin has no conscience, cheats on taxes, lies, and exploits people and their money, then it IS our responsibility to be very concerned. As they say, God doesn't bless a mess.
Anon 10:28, If you believe Mrs. P.
ReplyDeleteto be a God fearing, Bible believing
Christian, you are sorely deceived.
She's an antithesis of how both
the Old & the New Testament describes
a godly woman, or even a decent one.
She comes off sounding like a smart-mouth teenager, has proven to be mean,
extremely vindictive, backstabbing,
totally self-seeking, given to lying (& you know what the Bible says about that!)& never, never will admit to any wrong doing. Yet, tries
to portray herself as virtuous & a paragon of American patriotism.
But you know, most of her antics wouldn't be so offensive (to me,anyway,) if she didn't drag the
Lord into it.
BTW, have you seen Sarah in her knee-high-boots & mini skirt 'shopping'
recently in LA? Somehow the word
godly doesn't come to mind.
Sharon TN
Take all the time necessary to build a solid case against her.. she will not hesitate a moment to lie under oath, with a stack of bibles under her hand, so you must have irrefutable evidence.
ReplyDeleteWow, the anonymous low information and uneducated trolls are out in full force on this post....wonder why? Could it be their great WHITE Christian hope for 2012 has proven once and for all that she is nothing more than a money grubbing media whore, far surpassing the Gosselin and Kardashian families?
ReplyDeleteMust suck to be a Palinbot, watching Sarah and her family spending your money at a dizzying rate, taking extended family and friends on a free trip to Los Angeles to hobnob with the Hollywood libruls while shamelessly grasping for cash and free prizes.
Go ahead bots, and buy more copies of "Going Rogue", donate to SARAHpac, and pay to hear your queen toss out word salad. Your queen and her children will spread for anyone if the price is right. Her and Todd already whored themselves out to that socialist pig Hugo Chavez for some snowmachine bucks, dontcha know?
I don't like her politics, lack of ethics and extraordinarily poor family values...but I typically avoid comments about her kids and personal style. I just can't help myself here -- she needs to drag out those RNC clothes. At least they knew how to dress her. That get-up she had on at the "celebrity grab bag" was awful. Left to her own devices, she has mastered the hillbilly hooker look!
ReplyDeleteOh, Gryphen. I bet every anonymous comment just makes you smile! The fork is in and every anon comment is a tighter turn.
ReplyDeleteKeep pushing. It's not the right "time" to take her down. I don't think any of the recent issues were forgotten: CPAC funding, Todd being the REAL governor, tax evasion and last but not least, babygate.
Stories are out every day and she has one foot further in the virtual grave as each day passes.
I can wait! The time is coming, and will be here, no doubt!
What happened to John Ziegler? I thought he was drooling all over Palin. Did she throw him under the bus and I missed it?
ReplyDeleteJust imagine how isolated Sarah must be to go Hollywood. She's lost all political credibility....... I don't expect to hear her spout 2012 anymore, at least not for herself.
ReplyDeleteNow has anyone heard about our buddy in N.O. phone scam O'Keefe and new court date? I've searched as it originally was on Feb 12th but there has been no news if this transpired or was delayed or what. Does anyone know?
She didn't go to CPAC? Big deal, neither did Huckabee or half the potential nominees and the straw poll went to Ron Paul.
ReplyDeleteBut please tell us more about babygate. This is beneath stupid, ranks right down there with 'NASA faked the moon landings.' They used pictures for evidence, too.
Does anyone have new news on the new tax assessment on her cabin/compound?
ReplyDeleteIts over. she is done. Still a threat but politically, toast...
ReplyDeleteRomney has too much dirt on her,and she is making too much money being famous to be bothered to run for any office..that is work, and questions will be asked...not prescreened crap. real questions. dont answer $arah, dont blink, just keep on making us cringe and laugh and cry when we see how fucked up your kids are.
If you were going to vote for Romney, I think you should vote for Sarah instead, it would serve him right for saying something so stupid.
ReplyDeleteShe would never give up her bling to run for president.
ReplyDelete"Love Sarah, do not fear her"."
ReplyDeleteFuck $arah and the horse she rode in on.
she is toast. unelectable. not able to influence. unable to run.
Smile, and have another set of ear phones. And keep yer kids in freaking skool where they belong.
I love the bots. They are so fervently clueless. Sorry Gryphen, I probably feed at least one of them, maybe all of them. They will persist. It is like whack a mole. There are some funny ones here today.
ReplyDeleteEvery aspect of Mrs. Todd Palin's psychosis that's publicized is one more bit of insurance that she can do less harm.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your work.
On the 7 Mountain Crapolla....she's in Hollywood working on that Arts and Entertainment hill! Boy, they are really coming out of woodwork today! Keep painting the masterpiece, Gryph....you are doing a fine job and they are getting nervous. She is truly certifiable and needs intervention. Those kids have lost so much by not being in school. Hope they are not stunted for life and think what is happening to them is the norm. When she implodes and the money stops, I hope they can carry on and handle the come-down. The whole fam-damilly may end up in the same padded cell tearing each others hair out!! Piper can show them how. This is all so sick. I get nightmares when I have to take narcotics for my pain and wake up every two hours in a sweat from the nightmares I have. I usually just endure the pain and skip the dreams. Maybe my pain and dreams will go away when this family is no longer on our minds 24/7. Time to get some work done and forget about this trainwreck. Kinda feel like Kathleen over on Palingates today....need a break. You take one too, but don't stop the digging. We will all be back, when we get some fresh air! Love your work.

Anonymous 11:20 (Dan) - "All MSM needs to fully pursue the story is a starting gun they can't ignore."
ReplyDeleteI think the ears and photos of 2 babies (corroborated by respected expert opinion - physician and biometrics analyst) could be an effective 'starting gun'. But we do need to figure out how to get the ear plugs out of MSM's ears so they hear the shot. They have made a habit of ignoring skeletons and dirt that could take her down and have done everything to try to keep her relevant.
I doubt the shot can come directly from a GOP opponent. She's positioned herself such that they could be hurt by taking a personal shot at her. The Democratic Party is using her for fundraising so it's doubtful they want to take her completely down.
So how do we shame the MSM to pick up the story?
Wow, Ziegler really said that?
ReplyDeleteThat should make at least a few at C4P take notice. . .on the other hand, they will find some way to throw him under the bus.
That is the standard reaction to all former Palin idols that become critics. . .her supporters cannot digest that information and just find some way to discount the messenger.
Of course she won't run in 2012. The media had a bare 2.5 months to dig up the dirt on her during the campaign. . .but now there will be 2 years of solid financial misdealings and greed for her to 'splain away. The archives of Gryph and Palingates and Bree, et al. will be ripe for the picking. No way will she survive it this time.
And I believe that there ares still more email records to be produced. . .
And she darn well knows it.
I agree that SP could never win an election for any office and think that she's a dangerous influence. At the Teabagger Ball when she said she would "give her life" for her country, I got chills. She's sick. That was her shout-out for firing up the freaks. She would love it if they heeded her call to violence. Check out the ages of those fools down in Bossier Parrish, LA. The Viagra Brigade.
ReplyDeleteAs far as her having a career as an entertainer, that's ridiculous. She thinks she's so cute, much as I dislike her, I still get embarrassed for her. That act might work in a bar at closing time but can't imagine any other place it would work. Whoever's advising her may be passive-aggressive.
anon @ 10:08: that's a pretty loaded post. someone could base an entire blog around dissecting that thing.
ReplyDeleteYeah, nobody listens to Sarah. In Jan 09, she endorsed Rick Perry in Texas gov race. At the time he was 20 points behind US Sen KBH who was returning home to become gov. Palin made appearances in his behalf, helped him raise money and he won a clear victory and will not face a runoff.
ReplyDeletePerry will win in the fall and he will remember.
Leah Burton is on her way to LA for an interview/speaking engagement in Ilene Proctor's Great Minds Series.
ReplyDeleteImagine - Leah and Sarah in the same town.
Thanks Gryph for posting this. The religion back story is really important. The NAR and 7 Mountain Mandate is scary stuff and is the real threat that Sarah poses.
I haven't visited Pee-land in months, but what could that place have possibly turned into? A fanzine? Do they wallow in her Leno stand up? Greet her new book of miserable empty opinings with joy?
ReplyDeleteAgree with 11:46 am.
ReplyDeleteIMO, Sarah may have reached the point in her delusional mind to think that she doesn't need her Bots anymore. That she doesn't need to pretend to possess "family values"...which to SP means "how much value does this kid have or that kid have?" With her greedy and ill-mannered actions at the Red Cross gifting suite yesterday, it doesn't appear that she cares what anybody thinks of her. She wants something, she'll take it and say FU to anybody who doesn't approve. It's too much work to keep the Bots happy, she's moved up to bigger bucks.
ReplyDeleteI'm just hoping Romney isn't keeping her for back-up VP, hence his speaking softly of her.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the chance Meg stepped-down to ghost-write the new book while she's home being a mom?!
Anon. @ 2:50 said "Yeah, nobody listens to Sarah. In Jan 09, she endorsed Rick Perry in Texas gov race. At the time he was 20 points behind US Sen KBH who was returning home to become gov. Palin made appearances in his behalf, helped him raise money and he won a clear victory and will not face a runoff. Perry will win in the fall and he will remember."
ReplyDeleteLOL I was wondering when Sisteh Sarah would claim the honors for Perry's win. Perry may win in the Fall and very well may remember. As for me and a bunch of other people, we'll remember that in that speech for Perry, Palin herself couldn't remember that she had told the lie saying TriG was born "the next morning - Apr. 18". She stood up there on camera and said TriG "was born that night" which would have been the 17th. Some people DO listen to what the rattle-brained liar says.
Donna at 10:32, I totally agree with you. Using religion to retain power and control over people should be a thing of the past. Good things have been done in the name of religion, but many many bad things have been done in its name as well. Our founding fathers were ingenious to devise a system of government that protects both the "state" and the "church" by permanently separating them. This is one of the most important tenets in the constitution. Those who dream of the "utopian" days of when we were a "Christian nation" are truly dreaming. Many of our founders were agnostic - they did not found a Christian nation. The US will never be an officially Christian nation. We have people of many faiths, as well as people who consider themselves spiritual but not religious, and people who are atheist. We are all protected by the constitution to practice a religion or not to practice. The problems of this country certainy cannot be blamed on this freedom, but rather abuse of our freedoms and corruption that goes on orregardless of religious belief.

ReplyDelete"Fuck $arah and the horse she rode in on."
Thank you for saying That was my first thought also, too.
hoffman, baby hoffman!
ReplyDeletelmao yeah, that sure is some awesome influence sarah has... people sure do listen to her, lol.
I think that we should boycott any organization that supports Palin. Jessie Jackson does it very well and it works. Personally, I could easily do it.

ReplyDeleteI guess you pretend NY 23 never happened. The seat was Republican for over ONE HUNDRED YEARS before Scarah spoke up. Oh, people listen to her, alright.
An organized boycott on any products supporting her Fox broadcsat and future show.
ReplyDeleteAlso, why is she not being investigated by the government?

ReplyDelete===================================
More Kos Kreations. The seat was redistricted numerous times.
The animal print jacket with fur butt bag and boots tell the story: Money can't buy class. And it is a clear example that Sarah can't learn. She had months of professional hair, make-up and styling and learned nothing. She has professional hair, make-up and probably wardrobe, and when left on her own, falls back to her tacky wardrobe and the "bump-it with topsy tail" up-do. She is a joke. You've really got the Bots riled up Gryphen. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is Hilarius! From someone who was there! At Leno's taping!!!
ReplyDelete"They added laughter where there was none during uncomfortable portions. Well, there was some laughter. Mine, of derision. During those pregnant pauses in her performance I was laughing long and loud, couldn’t help myself as much of what she was saying was utterly surreal, ridiculous, hypocritical - nonsense, spewed platitudes, pushed buttons. I was seriously thinking of leaving as it was getting hysterically unfunny."

What intrigues me is:
ReplyDeleteWhich political insider (GOP or Democrat) will "out" Sarah first?
It is like an incredible game of chicken -- they all know, and can probably prove, what we bloggers have long suspected.
Yet, Sarah is a powerful force working for both parties at present -- she scares the hell out of Democrats and independents (leading them to back away from the GOP) while she still helps the GOP raise money and support from their brain-dead, credulous base.
But when the advantages for either party begins to fade...
Does Sarah already have a reality show that is "signed, sealed and ready to deliver?"
ReplyDeleteSome time ago over at Bree Palins, I mentioned that the Palin saga was akin to a reality show. Prior to that, I had read Levi was in talks to do a reality show--something about hunting.
Is the phoney court case a prelude to "coming attractions?" It will be a battle between the Palins/Johnstons. Like I have told Gryphen, for over a year, these people are milking the same cow. How people reading this bog cannot see that, is beyond me.
As soon as the Palins move into their new house, they can start filming in the other house we are familiar with. You know, where Greta filmed her for Fox!
Remember how angry Mercede was on one of the T.V. shows? She will be the star of the new show. A very pretty young girl! Of course, she will have to compete with the Palin girls. That, in itself, should be interesting.
It will be along the lines of the Kardashian show. They are making a killing on ratings with their daughter, Kourtney, at odds with the "supposed" father of their unwed daughter! They all hate him!
You have no idea how much I hope I'm wrong! Time will tell.

She is merely influence now. Her influence power is strong and she resonates with the disenfranchised far right.
ReplyDeleteThey will forgive her any misstep that will be uncovered at this point.
If there is nothing, which there seems to be, pertaining to any of her gates then she will continue on her path as queen of the trailer trash and we will just have to put up with seeing her daily on various news outlets.
If there was anything big enough to change her fans minds it would have come out already.
She remains a bee in the bonnet of thinking rational people and so shall remain there for at least another 3 years.
(Hutchison leading 40-38, margin of error plus or minus 3.5 percentage points) than what the last Rasmussen poll found in July 2009.
ReplyDeleteGryphen, you do a great job. I am scared of Sarah as there in nothing worse than a charismatic person wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross. She is a purveyor of hate and lies.
ReplyDeleteHaving visited Dachau, I never want to see that type of hatred reach the Oval Office.
