An up close and personal look at the Palin-bots in their natural habitat...a Tennessee Costco.

You know I used to make fun of Sister Sarah for demanding that her book signing venues provide security, but now I think I get it.  Palin is not worried about protesters, the "Lamestream" media,  or people who dislike her.

She is terrified of her fans!  And who could blame her?

Just take a look at this video.



What the hell is up with the guy in the red Palin themed PJ's? (Oh come on!  You know he sleeps in those!)

Nothing says "I'm ready to leave the sanitarium" like being a grown ass man who makes a bright red Palin embossed jumpsuit, follows his idol from book signing to book signing, and refers to himself as "Palin-man."

Seriously, can you believe she had ME kicked out of a book signing once, but let's THIS guy stay?

I mean I would probably have taken some unflattering pictures of her and Todd, and then gone home and written a blog post mocking her, but at least I would not have fantasized about kidnapping her and making a lampshade out of her skin. (Apparently Captain Underpants also showed up in Kentucky.)

And what about the lady trying desperately to get a picture of her through the slit in a curtain? Is there a stalker convention in town or something?

By the way, who chooses Costco as the venue for a book signing?  Was the local Piggly Wiggly a little too elite for Sarah Palin and her followers?

Just so you know,  If you EVER come up to me wearing a bright red outfit with "Gryphen" written all over it, claiming to be my biggest fan, I am going to start speaking in a soothing voice while dialing 911 on my cell phone and slowly backing my way toward the exit.

I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings, but if you ever have the urge to do something like that...don't!

    Ha, ha, ha,ha....these are the same poor fat white slobs I see daily at my job (I work in retail merchandising @ big box stores), who can't be bothered to change themselves or their kids out of their pajamas when they leave the house. They walk around Walmart with their five homeschooled kids, and spend hours buying maybe a few boxes of cereal and some crayons. My motto...if you don't have enough time to put on some real clothes, you should probably stop having kids.

    I will be laughing my ass off when PalinMan inevitably gets arrested for holding hostages or doing something else stalker-ish at a book signing. Creeeeepyyyy.

    It's funny 'cause its true, sad and scary. Let's face it, the only "threat" Sarah has received has been from one of her #1 fans in PA---poor crazy kid. You better believe her security is locked and loaded. She knows many of the people who support her are dangerous.

    The bots are a scary group because, well. . .you know, they worship Grandma Grundy 'cause she's all purty, is a rill amurican and got those nice kids who don't go to school and that sweet little ole baby she straps to her hip when she needs money. Todd's got good hair too. And Bristol can dance!

  4. Two things here. One... she chooses Costco because it comes across as though she can relate to the working class who lives paycheck to paycheck. If she can trick her followers into thinking she does her shopping in supermarkets and "is one of them," her fan base grows.

    Two... the only people who get stalkers like that are celebrities. Not politicians. She has made the mistake of thinking that flashing off her boobs, her kids boobs, and "her child" that has needs, that she will somehow become everyone's "go to gal" for political needs... whereas in reality she is actually just becoming another celebrity that is generating stalkers who want to see her in her next role.

    Unless that's all she wants... is an acting gig. She can't admit that though, because than she is no better than the kid she loves to destroy: Levi Johnston.

    I would have gone with blue pants style first.

    Was talking at the dinner table (any one remember doing that?) about why editors don't check facts in books anymore.

    Cosco and other 'box store' dealers in books have notified Publishing Houses (there are not a lot left) that this is the type of book that sells. So this type are the only books we want.

    Hmmm. All about greed.

    Watching that video made one thing crystal clear: Palin's fans DON'T know Palin. If they did, they would realize that she has done everything possible to NOT be like them. Not overweight, not schlumpy in her pjs (yeah, I know that lady is pregnant, but c'mon), and not, sorry, unattractive. Hey 'bots, the only purpose you serve for Sarah is to make her $$$ and make her feel like the most beautiful woman in the world (compared to you). LOL.

    Just the name "Sarah Palin"makes me throw up these days.I am not all that political, I am just one of those christians who follows Jesus. But This woman called Sarah has thrown me over the edge, and because of her, I am voting in 2012, and I am spreading the news to all my church mates about this fraud called the christian role model. Actually I gave out Gryphen and Palingate's site, and many are happy to read more about this fraud and who she is, selling her own country for money.
    I am just so tired of hearing the media coverage of SArah 24/7, including bloggers. If Sarah is great and has nothing to hide, why is she afraid of the media and questions?

    Sarah should just man up and announce her candidacy, so that she stops hiding from the media. If she is going to be president, she has to answer tough questions.
    She reminds me off all dictor leaders. I will not write anything about her on my blog, because I do not want to continue promoting her popularity free of charge. The more she is covered on th internet, the more her ratings go up because the internet and media business, goes for a product that sells well. That is why I only read 3 blogs Gryphen, Palingates, and sometimes Mudflats.
    The rest are just a reproduction of same information. Also covering her book tour events is free publicity for her. I think even buying her book is also promoting her. I do not need to go buy Palin's book to read her nosennse. You can easily go online and read it.

    I am sorry but I just think we are all pushing Sarah up by over covering her book tours. I do not want to see or hear about how her fans support her for 2012.

    I know for sure this woman is dangerous and those idiots drop out followers are so closed minded full of bigotry in their hearts, so they have no interest in knowing who this crazy self appointed shadow POTUS called Sarah Palin the facebook and twitter president who is so afraid to meet face to face with real jornalists.

    I still believe that the same God Sarah is using to desicive the entire world will bring her down. There is no secret in God's eyes.
    If Sarah has no scretes, she should not worry about being asked questions, because she will be sorry when God brings out her skeletons out of her closets.

    God will judge his own people first before he judges those who do not believe in him. I hope God will start with all the false prophets and fake christians like Sarah full of bigotry and hate in her heart.
    I am a christian too, and I do not approve Sarah Palin the hateful human being for president.

    ***400*** fans? wowser, whatta crowd! I'm surprised the Lamestream Media didn't trump it up to eleventy-billion loyal subjects waiting all night without food, water and a latrine in blizzard conditions.

    I'm sad to say these people seem overly eager to be part of the unquestioning sheeple herd--I feel VERY sorry for the kids. And I suspect PalinDude is a complete publicity stunt who's happy to take up valuable camera time to push the product. See? One sleeve says "You Betcha!" and the other says whatever other stupid soundbite Sowah's handlers have come up with in the past two years. How nifty! BTW, who bankrolled his pricey little ensemble and his travel expenses? Uncle Rupie?

    I'm afraid that if WGE-AK is appointed Queen, er, President in 2012, the states WILL divide into those housing the rational humans and those housing the drooling slaves of Princess-Not-So-Bright. At that point, would PalinDude become her court jester?

  61. Couple of things.

    I am surprised at the choice of Costco as a venue. Costco is usually shopped in by liberals because of the store's excellent employment benefits and decent stock. (As opposed to the cheap Chinese shit at Sam's Club). So I wonder why they didn't pick Walmarts or Sam's Club?

    AND Costco is a members' only store. Did those Palin people have to pay for a membership to come in and buy her book, or was she set up by the entrance so her fans wouldn't have to pay to enter?

    Has anybody written about Costco versus Sam's Club as a venue for Palin's supporters.

    phoebes in santa fe asked if you needed memberships to attend at Costco.

    I asked on earlier IM post if Palin was getting a kick-back as you have to have a membership to attend her signing. So not only did they have to buy the book, many had to buy memberships.

    I believe her first book tour included Sam's and Costco - both of which are membership - so book & membership costs incurred by many. Those that bought memberships last year to see her would have to pay renewal fees this year. That would be reason enough for me NOT to go.

    Gryphen - You should be keeping track of the numbers at her signings. Soon you'll find the books under the legs of the unstable tables at Costco!!

Average salary of those that shop/have membership at Costco is over $70,000 and average wage of Costco employees is approx. $17 an hour and wonderful benefits. I've been a member for over 20 years so I think she's trying to worm in on older, whiter people with more disposable income.

    Maybe folks in that area's Costco look like upper level trailer park but they certainly do NOT look like that where I live. You have to have money to shop at Costco since all they take is AMEX, cash or debit right from your acct. I call it the $500 store since that's a minimum I spend when going there.

    None of the 4 Costco's in my area are pushing her book. But hey. TN is teabag land so I'm sure Costco knew they had a built in market.

    So while her lowly bots will send her $5/$10 donations she's also going after the retirees with money and upper middle class. Sh-h-h- don't tell her poorer trailer bots---they'll think she's an elitist!

    Facebook lurker, I so understand your comment about people too ridiculously lazy to make their way to a closet before they go outside. I live in Alaska and find the same behavior in my town at the library, at the market and the coffee shop. What happened to basic hygiene? Did they not notice "jammy day" isn't special if it is everyday?

    PS The comments here are too funny. I love coming here because it helps me feel that I am not alone in the world!

    I am glad I am not the only one who thought of "zombies" while watching this movie.

    Read Bob Cesca's Huffington Post article today - it scared me and made me think I need to get more involved somehow to fight this...Maybe through Emily's list?

Which is fine I guess. I just figured it would be die hard political types in line."

  76. Commentators are extra funny today! I needed a laugh after reading AKM's summary of the chapter where Palin claims that liberals don't love their children. Sigh.

    Yep, she's just like them. And so real. And so accessible.
    That's why they focus a cell phone camera on a black curtain and wait, hoping that a gust of wind will make a gap for them to see Sarah Palin from a distance. They just need that much to be able to get a glimpse.

    Just so it's understood - authors' lectures and book tours typically don't require one to have purchased the book to be there.

    well gryphen I guess I will cancel my flight and take the red suit out of the duffel bag, lol.

    seriously though, if you watch the video and hear red suit man talk it is obvious he is not right. sad. all of those people have issues (worshipping a myth is not exactly a sign of good mental health), but that dude should probably have a handler.

    maybe next year palin will do her book signings at the family dollar.

    well that's interesting about eddie burke being in hollywood so I looked at his facebook page... apparently his son is trying to get noticed as a boxer, so they've been frequenting some gym where famous boxers hang out.

    Anon @ 4:33 re: Nathan Bedford Forrest signs in TN vs. VA

    Not true, sorry but I live in VA too and am a transplanted yankee, there are lots of NBF signs in VA you need to get out more. Several around the Shenandoah area as well as near the tidewater basin. He is revered in VA as well. Sad but true, can't single out TN for that.

    PS: I can't stand Palin either, and she scares the crap out of me. Get the info out there ASAP Griffin please!

    No, Sarah's followers go to WalMart or Sam's. Some may go to Costco, but Costco is WAY classier than her hardcore 'bots.

    my local bookshop is a thing of beauty - so many great books to choose from and the sweetet black lab in all the world to give a belly rub to. stephen king loves it and frequents it (we live in maine near one of his homes). in fact, his latest book, "the dome" is based on our town.
    we are friendly with the husband ad wife owners of the bookshop - they know all their regular customers and they are very cool people. last year i asked the wife if she was stocking sarah's book. she looked at me funny as if she was thinking "oh no - you're not one of them, are you?" and said no but that she could order it. i laughed and said i wouldn't give it to my worst enemy if i had one. we then carried out a really funny and frank conversation about sarah. they don't have any of her books this year either. i love independent bookshops, and honestly, i don't think sarah's book would sell here anyway. maybe at some of the big box stores as you get towards portland and other bigger cities, but definitely not here. it's nice to live in fake america!

    oh, and anonymous @6:30, your comment really cracked me up. of course all of IM's female fans all look like victoria secret models! i thought everyone knew that! but if gryphen fears his fans, we won't bother him.

    But... but... I have a bright Blue Jumpsuit, Gryphon, with Immoral down one leg and Minority down the other.

    It's 'Haute'! :P

    Even has a white mini-tee to go with it with "Gryphonic Couture" with the picture of a real-fantasy Gryphon holding an American Flag like Stephen Colbert in his opening segment!

    That wouldn't count... would it? I mean... it's not Red, and it doesn't have "Gryphon" all over it! (Just a pikchure!)

    Just so you know,  If you EVER come up to me wearing a bright red outfit with "Gryphen" written all over it, claiming to be my biggest fan, I am going to start speaking in a soothing voice while dialing 911 on my cell phone and slowly backing my way toward the exit.


    Gryphen...I hope you know you have RUINED my holiday craft project! Now what do I do with this 97 yards of formerly Gryphen-Fansuit bound taffeta???


    Guess we could always donate to a certain "Pistol" who'll be shooting out another Abstinence Prize soon- she can make a dress and instead of it saying "Palinman" or "Gryphen's #1 Fan"...

    It can say right on the tummy: "BABY!"

    And right on her famewhoring posterior: "(DUH)".
