I’d like to tell you about a Commonsense Conservative running for office in California this year. She grew up in a modest home with a school teacher dad, worked her way through several colleges, and then entered an arena where few women had tread. Through a combination of hard work, perseverance, and common sense, she proved the naysayers wrong to reach the top of her field, where she led with distinction – facing hard truths, making tough decisions, and showing real leadership through a rocky transition period. Where others had failed, her company had weathered the storm and settled on a stronger new foundation.
Her name is Carly Fiorina, and I’m proud to endorse her for U.S. Senate.
Well THIS news came as quite a shock to the Teabaggers, who apparently have failed to notice that Sarah Palin does whatever the hell Sarah Palin wants and does not care about anybody except Sarah Palin.
Carly Fiorina? Come on, Sarah!
Carly Fiorina represents the exact kind of politician who has gotten us into the mess we’re currently in. Fiorina fiscal moderate on most issues, and on some she’s a downright liberal progressive running as a Republican.
Aww, somebody needs a hug! Or perhaps a swift kick in their tea bags!
I mean come on who REALLY believes that Palin will do what THEY want her to do?
Did she do what Alaskans wanted her to do? NO!
Did she do what John McCain wanted her to do? NO!
Did she do what God wanted her to do? NO!
How could the Teabaggers possibly believe they could tell Sarah Palin to "sit down and shut up" until they needed her to do their bidding? Everybody knows that Sarah does not even understand what "sit down and shut up" means.
Besides Sarah has tons of supporters who follow her every move like a pack of sheep, and she believes that anybody who dares to defy up to her is possessed by demons, so how could she NOT support a woman who created a political ad that combined the two?
She only endorsed her so she could talk about she is just like ME! School teacher father (law professor-judge) and how carly worked herself through many colleges (Harvard-MIT) just like HER!
ReplyDeleteI bet it really is that shallow.
Remember when Palin conned the Tea Party into giving her $100K with the promise that she'd give it back to tea party candidates? Hows that trusty-fooly thing workin out for ya?
ReplyDeleteWhat is a suprise is that Palin isn't holding a grudge against Fiorina for saying that she didn't think Palin was qualified to run a business during the 08 campaign. Carly was a paid flack for McCain at the time and dissapeared completely after that comment. More proof the Grifter will do anything, for a price.

Fiorina had a "school teacher dad." You mean the law school professor federal judge one?
ReplyDeleteMaybe Sarah and Palin had the same Canadian bootlegger grandparents? Oh, I forgot, that was a lie too.

Sarah and Carly- 2 peas in a pod- both on the BRIDGE TO NOWHERE.
Palin 2012-2014 1/2
Her attempts to draw parallels between her life experience and Fiorina's made me laugh. According to Wikipedia, Fiorina's "schoolteacher" father was in fact a law professor, and her "several colleges" were Stanford for undergrad, a semester at law school, an MBA and an master's in management. Another transparent attempt to twist the facts, this time to obscure her endorsement of someone who clearly is a part of the educated elite.
ReplyDeleteMaybe $P knows something we don't, but according to Wikipedia, Carly Fiorina's father was more than just a humble school teacher -
ReplyDelete"Fiorina was born as Cara Carleton Sneed in Austin, Texas, the daughter of Joseph Tyree Sneed III, a law school professor, dean, and federal judge, and Madelon Montross (née Juergens), a portrait and abstract artist.[2] She attended Charles E. Jordan High School in Durham, North Carolina for her senior year; the family frequently relocated during this time."
And, she's the exact picture of what caused the problems in our nation. WTF?
Dear Tea Party - you got what you paid for, please don't complain to us, we warned you about her.
ReplyDeletehugs & kisses
Sane Americans
Well, Fiorina was involved in the McCain-Palin campaign. Do you think she knows where a few bodies are buried?
ReplyDeletewell I guess we know who's NOT going to win! lmao
ReplyDeletefiorina, baby, fiorina!
So she's back to the tea partiers need to meld themselves into the Republican party. They didn't really think she was in their pocket, did they, after she endorsed McCain? Are they that stupid that they thought they could control Palin and trot her out like their trained dancing bear like on the Tea Party express tour? Palin is for Palin. Anyone who doesn't know that is a fool. I hope this helps Barbara Boxer.
ReplyDeleteYou know, reading the "2 strikes against Palin" blog post almost made me feel sorry for the Tea Party supporters of Palin. Almost.
ReplyDeleteThey were incredulous that she could be so ingenuous, so....out of touch.
But that is what Alaskans have been saying since McCain announced his disastrous decision!!!! They never bothered to listen and now look - she's co-opted their "brand" as her own and making millions off it without even helping their cause!! What did they expect from someone known in HER OWN STATE as a grifter???
Ignorance is not bliss and in this case - it stings! Get used to it, Tea Party, Sarah Palin is all about Sarah Palin. Maybe soon you'll realise we weren't just makin' stuff up about her! She really IS that selfish and greedy.
OT but from over at Gawker:
ReplyDelete"To celebrate the National Day to Prevent Pregnancy, 19-year-old Bristol Palin went clubbing at 1Oak at 1 A.M.: "She looked like she was terrified that people would recognize her." Rightly so. I can't decide if I desire or fear Bristol and Sarah turning into the new LiLo and Dina. "
Hilarious. The Palins as the new Lohans!!!! They might end up being a bigger trainwreck than the Lohans.!
This is off topic but I caught a glimpse of SP on a Fox channel last night and she was talking from the Dead Lake. It was a current subject. What I'm wondering is, was she actually in the studio on the Dead Lake of Wasilla? It was so weird that it looked like a fake back drop was another possibility.
ReplyDeleteIs she back in Wasilla on Dead Lake as of May 6, 2010?
Sarah Palin is so boring. Her lack of ideological consistency is boring. Her craziness is boring. She is too boring to run for President successfully.
ReplyDeleteFiorina is buying this nomination so she probably paid Palin for her endorsement.
ReplyDeleteIt is really hard to believe the Palins father was a school teacher. What did he teach?
ReplyDeleteHow can Palin be so uninformed if her father was a teacher?
Well, the teabaggers will kill DeVore's chances and hopefully Palin's endorsement will kill Fiorina. Whitman and Pozner are busy killing each other.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Governor Moonbeam Brown will return to office.
Couldn't happen to a more deserving guy.
You know Sarah's just settin' Carly up to make fun of her cancer! Just a joke amongst friends, gosh darnit!
ReplyDeletehttp://itoe.net/2010/04/sarah-palin-laughs-while-senator-lyda-green-is-mocked-as-a-cancer/
Carly was too candid and factual when she said Sarah (and John) could not run a company.
ReplyDeleteand then promptly disappeared from TV.
Thank you Carly for your one moment of honesty.
Guess who is USA Weekend's Mom of the year?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
http://www.usaweekend.com/article/20100507/HOME02/100505003/Sarah-Palin-welcomes-you-into-her-home
Having been an employee of one of Carly's victim companies, which she ran to ground and then was FIRED from, I can honestly say that if she gets that Senate seat we're in for a very unpleasant ride!!! And if NutMeg actually became governor, we might as well just shut the lights out and move to other states.
ReplyDeleteI love to sometimes wonder what Sarah Palin would be like if she were black and with the same qualifications and family background.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's right, if she were black, we would have never heard of her, much less have her run this one-sided competition with a sitting president... Fox 'News' would have had to create a new network to excoriate her if she were black and trying to pull the crap this woman has gotten away with.
I keep asking myself...who the hell asked her? Why does Sarah feel the need to endorse people?
ReplyDeleteSo the morans are figuring out that their alpha-female really is just like them and has no intellectual consistency (nor moral nor ethical for that matter, but maybe they'll get to those later), and is instead a whimsical opportunist. What a shock that must be for their rigid minds to absorb. Clearly they never bothered to look under her bus while they were kneeling next to it admiring her Naughty Monkeys.
ReplyDeleteFiorina did distinguish herself at H-P in a rather unique way. She is well known for giving H-P stock an impressive 7% bump in a single day - by announcing her resignation.
BTW - Chuck Heath taught Science, but apparently not to his creationist, end-times lovin', fact-free daughter who thinks The Flintstones was a docudrama portraying life in the early days of our 5K y/o earth as Barney and Fred struggled every day to teach family values and to extract the earth's bounty and fulfill the free and hungry market's demand for quarried rock. Yes, quarried rock - why did you think it was known as The Stone Age?
"Common sense" is two words, but then, that is just common sense, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteBTW, "Common sense" or "commonsense" is just code for "I can't support my argument through well-reasoned ideas, so I'll just call you stupid if you disagree."
Palin at Lake Lucille: Sarah can go into any local studio and stand in front of a green screen (or blue screen). Then, the TV people can drop in any background. They do this at the Daily Show all the time. Those people regularly "broadcast" from locations around the world, and the audience is always in on the joke which is why they laugh when Jon says, "Let's tune in to so-and-so live from London."
ReplyDeleteI think that we have to set up a scoreboard and keep track of the candidates (GOP or Tea Bag) who are lucky enough to receive an endorsement from Sarah. Then we have to follow the candidate's progress in their primary and/or election.
Since Saint Sarah doesn't read, she doesn't have any knowledge of Carly's business track record. If she did indeed read up on Carly, she probably wouldn't have understood the big words as well as the business terms being used. If she did have some semblance of what the big words may mean, she probably couldn't comprehend the article's intended meaning.If she did indeed understand Carly's past business track record (or someone explained it to her), then Saint Sarah who doesn't have any ethics either, just doesn't care.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is that Saint Sarah just doesn't read.... My new moniker for Saint Sarah is 'Uneducated Sarah'
Gryphyn: this is off topic but I just posted on a Bristol thread and I thought you should ask the Johnstons how they feel about this:
ReplyDeleteYou know what? I bet Levi is hurt by this little (not so little in that dress) grifting bitch. There were wedding rings and loving photos with the Johnston family "mommy in-law, family love" and there was Levi, the fiance at the convention, now he is just a sports guy with a cool truck!?
You know Sammy, I've wondered that too. I've heard he was a science teacher, of all things. She sure does knock science every chance she gets. Either she was too stupid/arrogant to listen and learn from her dad, or he was one god-awful teacher.
ReplyDeleteDoes Sarah really want to be linked to such an incompetent woman who was fired from HP? Carly bragged about firing 25,000 Americans when she shipped those jobs overseas. She said her only regret was she didn't do that sooner. She is so stupid that it isn't funny. You know now that I think about these to idiots have a lot in common.
ReplyDeleteDemon Sheep 2 is now out

Here's the question... that should be being asked of The Grifter and even a High School Journalist would ask it. Apparently the MSM has ' devolved ' even LOWER than that these days.
ReplyDeleteIf Grifter on " Mansours Facebook " says she endorses Fiorina... why not ask how much she contributed to her campaign by ' endorsing ' her...? After all... that's what a legitimate PAC does. I'm guessing this endorsement comes with Sarah's old ' strings attached ' ( she USED to love those strings )just like the 20 Democratic people she targeted on Facebook. Donation from SarahPAC... ZERO.
And as others have already said... if she did give a donation...The Tea Baggers OWN money was used against them to support the opponent. When do you think we see the first sign at these Tea Party's with the Grifters Face on their signs instead of Obama..? To quote Ceaser.. "Eh tu Brutus ?"
Three comments to comments published:
ReplyDelete1. Yes, I think you may be right: Fiorina knows about what went on in the McCain campaign. I believe it is possible she "convinced" Palin to endorse her - though it just goes to prove that Fiorina is not as smart as some folks think she is because if she'd done her research and reflected, she'd know that Palin's endorsement is the kiss of death.
2. I also think it is possible that Fiorina paid Palin to endorse her - possibly funneling money through Bristol's PR firm (I mean, come on, what else could that be for - Bristol isn't the brightest bulb - sorry Levi - in the package and to think she can run a PR campaign is silly unless she gets some training - er, education - which we know is not the Palin Way.
3. As to Sarah's Dad being a teacher and wondering how she turned out so dumb - well, think about the stereotype of preacher's kids - they are often the wildest, less pious of their group even if they have to indulge their wild sides on the sly.
Just saying.
Meanwhile back at CSU Stanislaus, this came up in last night's evening news (http://cbs13.com/local/CSU.stanislaus.palin.2.1680551.html): "CBS13 discovered that it is the same foundation paying to bring in Palin, and that suddenly the University can't afford to fund scholarships. But, when CBS13 contacted a University representative and told them that we had questions about the scholarships not being handed out, the follow through of a call back from someone was never received." Oddly enough, scholarships are not being cut at CSU Sacramento. A few hours earlier at the 6 PM news broadcast, their headline was CSU Stanislaus comes clean about the Palin contract but that was actually misleading. CSU Stanislaus was claiming they had emails about the speaking deal but it was stored on hard drives and cyberspace thus nothing was printed and discarded in the dumpster. Apparently that story wasn't worth repeating on CBS13's web site. Thanks to Palin's appearance, students counting on admittance and scholarships to CSU Stanislaus this fall are becoming collateral damage being left high and dry with no time left to apply elsewhere. Way to go CSU Stanislaus Foundation--you proved you serve outside politcal interests over higher education!
ReplyDeleteRW@6:41 and anonymous@8:09: I thought the trees and the frozen lake backdrop of $Palin's last FOX interview looked similar = the same, as an earlier interview. Haven't looked for video to compare but I do think you are onto something here.
ReplyDeleteWas she in NY doing the interview and faking the setting? ADN has articles about people planting their veggie gardens, putting in the annuals, and looking for the lawns to green up there this weekend so I would be surprised if the lake is still that frozen.
The trees looked like they were blowing exactly as they did in a previous interview. Anyone else agree?
omg gryphen go look at the link someone posted above:

click on / look at the top pic of the family - great view of tripps right ear. blow it up! are my eyes playing tricks one me??????
oh yeah and track doesn't look too happy in that pic. gee, wonder why? tired of living a lie perhaps?
ReplyDeletedecember 28 2008 my ass!!!!! I think the ruffles mystery is solved!
ReplyDeleteI'm watching this with great interest. It finally seems as if she has done something to p*ss off her supporters. I have seen quite a few comments about her only being in it for the money, and that people will no longer contribute to her PAC and that they are done with her. Wrong move Sarah, you should have kept your big mouth shut on this one.
ReplyDeleteWhat is so surprising about one failure endorsing another? It's obvious that Palin does not read, because it's common knowledge that Fiorina tanked as CEO of HP. I sincerely hope that just as with Hoffman in NY 23, Palin's endorsement proves to be the kiss of death for this lady's campaign. The last thing we need in government is yet another incompetent Republican. As for the Teabaggers, they are getting what they deserve for putting their faith in this narcissist. Alaskans, bloggers from everywhere, and I am sure some Republicans have been trying to school them about this lady. But they were so sure she was their savior that they failed to scrutinize her closely. If they had done so, they would have quickly learned that she is only about Sarah, and for sale to the highest bidder.
ReplyDeleteUpdate: Backtracking grifter!!!!

Not sure, but is this what's meant by "only dead fish go with the flow?"
I enlarged the family picture to look at Tripp's ear. It looked, to me, like one of his curls was over the ear rather than the ear itself being ruffled. I think "ruffles" is still missing.
ReplyDeleteAnon 7:20:
ReplyDeleteActually, the question is: Who would you rather have AS your mom, and NOT who IS the best mom.
Nice spin, though.
And if you ask me, I would rather have $arah as my mom because, I wouldn't have to go to school, I could drink and break into peoples homes, I could go into 21 and over clubs even though I would be underage, I could have my boyfriend sleep over, and I could act like a country hick in Hollywood, and I could make tons of money by just being stupid...just like $arah.
And after mom fixes all the mess I made, I can just blame the media.
Michelle; I'm afraid would have morals and make study for college, and not make excuses for my bad behaviour.
Yep, $arah would be the mother that I would want.
There's an old "B" movie called "Don't Look In The Basement." I love it. The inmates wind up taking over the mental institution after a failed "chopping therapy" session. (The inmate does a 180 degree turn and be-heads the head of the institution.) Then the inmates take over the institution. Cool thing is no one ever notices. It's like business as usual. That's what will happen to Sarah (or Carly) some day. The people she has been inciting will turn on her and Ha ha! Bye, bye Miss Wasillian Pi!
ReplyDeleteMom of the year. LOL Willow at a prom but no Mom to take pictures. No Mom to make sure no drinking/driving and home at curfew?
ReplyDeleteBoth kids are on bottles and formula? I went to the link, it says that Paylin made a bottle of formula for the stressed out Bristol. ?? I don't know any reason why either one should be on formula. Just little lies along with the bigger ones, I believe all of this great family is Moosecrap.
All that money no college funds no talk of education. Such a waste.
okay now that I've seen a larger version of the photo that I address in my comments above I will say I was wrong about tripp's ear. looks pretty regular.
