Sarah Palin has added a veteran Republican strategist to serve as chief-of-staff for her political action committee, Sarah PAC, CNN has learned.
Michael Glassner, an attorney and longtime adviser to former Kansas senator and presidential candidate Bob Dole, has signed on to steer the former Alaska governor's political operation as she considers a possible 2012 presidential bid.
"We are happy and excited that Mike is joining our team," Sarah PAC spokesman Tim Crawford told CNN.
Despite everything that has happened recently Palin is still plowing ahead with her desire to throw her hat in the ring of GOP hopefuls for 2012.
Hey if there are P-Bots still dumb enough to send her their children's college money to help pay for her next botox injections, I guess we could not expect her to turn them away now can we?
After all we don't call her Grannie Grifter for nothing.
Oh, G, you big jokester. Palinbots don't send college funds. They don't believe in that elitist college mumbo-jumbo!
ReplyDeleteDang it, Gryphen! I ran over here to tell you, but you beat me to it.
ReplyDeleteSay goodbye to the Republican party in 2012.
It is so appropriate that she hired a Bob [LOSER] Dole minion.
ReplyDeleteif she gets the nomination, it will be a pretty nasty and divisive election, and a total circus.
ReplyDeleteSo, is this dim bulb going to try to announce three months before the election and attempt to run the clock again?
ReplyDeleteLMAO!! The pictures are priceless! Bring it on bitch!
ReplyDeleteAfter these last 2-1/2 years, she just can't be serious!
ReplyDeleteShe a walking-talking joke-fest is what she is.
She can't lead a dog-sled let alone a country such as the U.S.
Can you just imagine her SOTU word-salad speech? I can hear Americans now saying, "WTF did she say!!??"
Palin4pres? --no, methinks not.
I'm hungry ... I sent all my food money to SarahPAC and have not eaten for several weeks...
ReplyDeleteDoes she think everyone loves her--secretly?
ReplyDeleteOr that she is another Bush who'll get in because
of swift boating, ballot box tampering, voter roll
purging, and Supreme Court awarding? I'm
sure die hard repubes will still toe the line on
election day, so don't count her out. The MSM
really IS the LSM for not taking this dumb ass
down.
You know Gryphen, I was thinking about this very thing this morning and hoping she will run. If she runs, the MSM will definitely HAVE TO VET this bitch FULLY which means they will be almost forced to look at babygate. If she does not run they will continue to turn a blind eye DESPITE THE EVIDENCE!!!! RUN SARAH RUN
ReplyDeletethis is for the PAC. And this guy's career is at an end. Perhaps this is his 'swan' song?
ReplyDeletePerhaps making Palin run, is the best. Then when she gets creamed in a primary, we'll not hear from her again?
She's not running she just feels left out of the picture and wants some attention.
ReplyDeleteHer polling numbers are horrible.
She will remain as Alaska Bureau Chief
WHAT. THE. HELL.
ReplyDeleteHa, looks like she steered her ship clear of your "iceberg". Didn't even hit the real news.
ReplyDeleteNow whatcha got up your sleeve?
Thats gotta smart a little, that she always works around your efforts to take her down.
It seems this new Chief of Staff is just as dirty as Grifter Dumbass. I don't believe she is going to run. This guy is hired as a front to swindle Palinbots into giving more money. It's a front.
ReplyDeleteIf stupid Palinbots want to continue sending dumbass their hard earn money; then they deserve to be swindled for every dime. I don't feel sorry for them what so ever. They have been warned about Grifter Dumbass on so many occassions, yet the mindless zombies continue to send money.
Grifter Dumbass is the media's cash cow and that is why she is still in the spotlight. Believe me, most of these talking heads in the media know she is not fit to take out the garbage.

That Bob Dole Vice Presidential campaign was a real winner. How did that turn out again? Bob ended up referring to himself in the third person, and became a spokesman for Viagra. What will Sarah Palin (TM - unregistered trademark) be hawking?
ReplyDeleteThis just sickens me. She is such a toxic, putrid, hate-spewing, mean, vindictive, ignorant, vile, pathological lying piece of human garbage. All she will do is lower the discourse of the campaign conversation and we will have to witness the global embarrassment of her hoisted herself onto the world stage with all her trailer trash snark and snarls. Oh PLEASE someone take her DOWN!
ReplyDeleteAt the very least she might go for Kyl's job. Moving to AZ has it's benefits.
ReplyDeleteI've always thought she would run. She's going to run a completely incoherent, imcompetent kind of campaign from the sidelines- tweeting and facebooking and appearing only at very carerully selected "safe" venues where you have to get tickets from the local Party to get in. She's not going to be interviewed by anyone except Fox. She'll screw it up, of course, because she has the habit of failure and she's too dense to know what she's doing wrong- but it's going to be funny as hell to watch.

This is the same guy who had to resign from McCain's campaign for illegal activity related to Haiti. Let the games begin!
ReplyDeleteI don't believe she is going to run. This guy is hired as a front to swindle Palinbots into giving more money. It's a front.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. This is her last big fundraising push. She knows it's over.
AmandainKY
@Olivia.nGetting Kyl's or McCain's Senate seat would help her if she were a hard worker, like Hillary. But being in the Senate and visible could only work against Palin. Still, she could use speculation of a run to raise PAC money.
ReplyDeleteThe silly woman does not realize the guy is in it for the $$ and the press, nothing more. His criminal record does not worry them. Grifters don't worry until they are caught red handed - that's how they roll.
ReplyDeleteSome people have a real dislike of those who do not take their marriage vows seriously. Mrs. Palin cuckolded Todd and he cuckolded her. That may be okay with them, but NOT the majority of folks who vote in the lower 48.
Swingers need not apply for the WH. Got it Madame menopause?
Jaye
Not necessarily.
ReplyDeleteIncome was down so the grifter made one hire- chief of staff of no staff- just to juice up collections! Don't think for one second that the new dude doesn't know he's just a "temp"!
i do not think she has a chance to even get nominated. she is just keeping her hand in the pot.
ReplyDeletei would almost be willing to bet a penny to anyone who thinks she could get nominated, just to see how many think she has a shot at that level of interaction. beyond the nomination she will never go.
Of course she is going to run but not because she really expects to become POTUS. This extends the cash flow just a bit longer because "ya gotta get it while ya can." The gig is just about up and $arah knows she must pad the bank account for when she just kind of goes away like Anita Bryant. It's all for personal gain, besides - the POTUS salary isn't enough money plus you have to actually do a job, and spouting out ramblings just won't cut it.
ReplyDeleteOf course this won't all happen without creating more chaos in uncertain times. $arah isn't really concerned about the welfare of anyone but herself. Whatever uprising she incites, she will just take her money and run when it's time to do so.
Hey, Scarah, that's what I want for MY birthday...that you announce your candidacy. Oh please, oh please. It will be the best gift ever to see you eviscerated in front of the whole world! Go Stupid Scarah!
ReplyDeleteYou must have hit a nerve, Gryphen. Those precious, little, idolatrous Palinbots are here. Adorable little things, aren't they?
ReplyDelete7:20 A.M.,
ReplyDeleteI'll count her out. She may not even win the republican nomination. That is not a slam dunk for her, either. She would be crushed in the general election. George W. Bush had the backing of the republican establishment to pull off all those tricks. The establishment republicans can't stand Palin, and don't want her to run. If she runs, she could further divide the republican party. The republican primaries could be a bloodbath.
Not only that, Palin can't handle the scrutiny. She thinks it will be easy. Running for president is different than being a VP candidate. She's already got so much baggage, and her negatives have gotten worse over time. And, many of her views are out of the mainstream. Palin thinks medicare vouchers are a good idea. Good luck campaigning on that.
Crappy poll numbers such as Palin's are very hard to overcome. Hillary Clintion's poll numbers were headed in a positive direction by the time she announced that she was going to run for president. Palin's numbers are still headed in the wrong direction.
Anyway, Palin running will just give the G.O.P. more headaches. She, and Michele Bachmann could make things worse. There is already trouble brewing between the tea party and the republican establishment in congress. The G.O.P. establishment v.s. the tea party in 2012 could get very interesting. If they are divided, that's good for the democrats.
PS Wouldn't it be ironic if what finally unites this country is our collective disdain for Scarah Paylin??? Because remember the crowds protesting in Egypt? If Scarah gets anywhere NEAR the WH, you'll see people in the streets all over the US. Of course, crazy as she is she'll love the attention.
ReplyDeleteObviously when Sarah was a little girl her parents told her that anyone who picked on her (or criticized her, etc) did so because they were jealous of her... and Sarah has carried that advice into adulthood and she now thinks that all of us who are making observations like "Sarah Palin is an IDIOT! She couldn't run a Dairy Queen let alone the USA!" are secretly jealous of her superior intelligence and beauty. She is clearly delusional! Sarah Palin is a joke and it seems that she's the only one who isn't in on the laugh.
ReplyDeleteDoes he know that she is a two-faced lyin' hyporcritical money-grubbin' grifter?
ReplyDeleteA bipartisan crowd of 900 Alaskans showed they do last week.
I wonder what RAM has to say about her boss's latest effort to add to her string of tax-payer financed personal benefits, like family travel and per diem for living in her own house.
Now we have small government lovin', deficit hatin' Palin with her hand out for yet another taxpayer subsidy- this time to have 40% of her huge salary from her reality show paid by taxpayers in Alaska.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqhWhBGOEr8&feature=feedlik
And now we learn why she was paid so much for her "reality" show- because she was going to have 40% of it paid through a taxpayer subsidy. Yup- she sure believes in small government and deficit reductions- except when she has her hand out!

It will be comedy gold, all the way! I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteShe will continue to run UNTIL someone comes forward with actual proof that she faked her pregnancy with Trig, or other such damaging information. As long as someone is just SAYING IT, without providing proof, she will say they are lying and keep pushing ahead.
ReplyDeleteCan't someone shut her up and make her go away??
Why is she so cheap that she is hiring some guy that headed up a failed presidential campaign some 15 years ago? Wow! What a DA.
ReplyDeleteJen from IN
PS Keep your eye on Mitch Daniels from IN. This week he and his Republican state controlled House and Senate gutted the public schools. Tax money will now go to fund private, charter and religious schools. How do ya' like them apples?

There are still some people *gasp* who are not fawning over every word that comes out of sarah´s mouth.
Huge mistake, there! This hint at a 2012 POTUS run put the pink hammer down on them.
Let´s keep them quaking in their boots.

Don´t hold back!

Seriously, I hope she robs the palinbots blind.
Following in Doles footsteps, Sarah could be the Massengil spokesperson..
ReplyDeleteThe GOP is going to get its house in order. The crazies will be put out with the trash. That includes Palin. The dude she just signed is a merely a vulture, will to make some quick cash off a delusional fool.
ReplyDeleteI am surprised that between Todd's extra curricular activities, the failure of the pipeline and now Dairy gate, palin hasn't come unglued yet.
ReplyDeleteSee Andrew Halcro's excellent blog about Dairygate and the history of the pipeline.
These are 2 big screw ups by palin that really show how unprepared she was to make big decision and her inability to take good advice.
These 2 problems have cost and will cost the state of Alaska millions of dollars.
Wonder how that will play with these fiscally responsibly conservatives?
bob Dole lost to Clinton. Why would you hire somebody whose candidate lost?
She almost HAS to pretend like she's thinking seriously about running. Otherwise, all the morons who've sent her their money will be PISSED. Pissed and armed.
ReplyDeleteIt's not going to be pretty when she announces she's not running, if she even gets that far. I.e., if she's not shamed into hiding before that point..... Gryphen, any thoughts on that?
She'll be running for the money and the spotlight but not seriously running for President..too much work and not enough money..like a high school popularity contest, stirring up trouble, strutting her stuff and collecting the money, to Sarah it's just a big game.
ReplyDeleteThis will go down as an epic fail. And I will love every minute of it.
ReplyDeleteTesting........My posts don't seem to be going through??????????
ReplyDeleteThe crook hired a crook! Why is anyone surprised?
ReplyDeleteI agree with those who say it's for the $$.
Hey, Christine O'Donnell lived off her PAC for years.
Folks, no one is worried about Palin for 2012 from the Dem. side. They are much more focused on retaining the senate in 2012.
Is it true RAM is related to Jimmy Durante on her mother's side?(cha cha cha...)
ReplyDeleteAnon 7:38 "Ha, looks like she steered her ship clear of your "iceberg". Didn't even hit the real news."
ReplyDelete"Now whatcha got up your sleeve?"
Hey Zombie...Ms. Tripp's story is just the tip of the "iceberg"...stay tune, there is more to come. HA!!
I can't wait until the Republican debates. First rule has to be "no hands". I bet there are guys like Romney that genuinely hate her guts.
ReplyDeleteShe may want to run. She may think, in her deluded mind, that she has a chance to win and can actually do the job.
ReplyDeleteHowever, the Republican Party will not allow her to get close to the primary. I have no doubt that there are boxes of files and documents in some office somewhere, just waiting for the day she makes her grand announcement. They may allow her to keep hauling in the money and hogging the spotlight, but the moment she makes a deliberate move towards the nomination, she will be taken down by some carefully leaked scandal.
They know she cannot win and will make the party a laughing stock. They've worked too hard to make the gains they did in 2010 to throw it all away when it would be so easy to take her out of the race.
As I think about this, is this just a calculated move to get more PAC money? Is Sarah Palin the equivalent of Scientology?
ReplyDeleteWhat a nincompoopie person she is. Her pathology is revving on high, as is she thinks she can win? What a joke.We'll be laughing hysterically. She will be just plain hysterical as her pathology goes into overload and she is finally committed to an insane asylum...or prison...or both
ReplyDeleteYeah I never counted her out. She rents a home in the lower 48. That's a telltale sign right there. But her homebase will always be alaska. She's cheap as fuck. Who would not only add on to their overcrowded property and completely renovate their home? Yeah I'd say nothing worries her
ReplyDeleteI look at those pictures of her, and can't keep myself from picturing her with a bowl of spaghetti spilled over her head. Tried to find an appropriate image to ps it, but came up short. Still, I see spaghetti.
ReplyDeleteYou got to wonder if she thinks she can overcome all the hurdles that are still waiting for her ahead. The Palins have got to be one dirty bunch, there's no way around it--they are typical of small-town politics.
ReplyDeleteIf she really believes her own delirious mind, then it should be quite amusing to see her go for it. It could hopefully destroy a unified, lock-step GOP. That's all they've anyway, a uniform veneer with nothing underneath.
Still say a Palin-Bachmann ticket would be fricking hysterical.
Time to shyt or get off the pot.
ReplyDeleteI think Palin is doing this little exercise, but is not serious about going all the way like she did before her marriage to Todd. Look at what that got her, Todd!
Palin is going far enough to make some more money before her 1 minute is up and then she will say that she sees the lay of the land and feels comfortable with the teabagger's candidate. No pun intended, but the lay of the land Sarah's sees are Todd's bed buddies.
I also believe Sarah will go far enough to get the title President Candidate Sarah Palin, something FOX can also use to introduce her when she talks to Hannity. There is no way Palin is going to let the press invade her privacy or see her children's birth certificates or educational transcripts. This new guy Palin hired is expendable and will be thrown under the bus when she gets what she wants, a new title.
For the record, Palin does not want no part of Donald Trump if he decides to run. He won't pull any punches. In the Donald's famous words, "Sarah Palin, you're FIRED".

I'm waiting for the announcement that SarahPac has hired Bristol Palin as Chief of Time for Sarah's campaign. They needed to find a good use for Bristol's new chin. They will use Bristol's chin for the campaign's sundial. The problem is whenever they ask Bristol what time it is, she will look at the shadow her chin cast and will say it is dinner time.
ReplyDeleteShe cancelled the speaking engagement so as not to close the door on a potential run. This "hiring" is just window dressing. She will not admit she is not running, until the very last moment, so as to milk her followers as long as she can. Disgusting.

Goldwater was painted as a dangerous figure by the Johnson campaign, which countered Goldwater's slogan "In your heart, you know he's right" with the lines "In your guts, you know he's nuts," and "In your heart, you know he might" (that is, might actually use nuclear weapons, as opposed to merely subscribing to deterrence).
Sue @ 7:17: I couldn't agree more. The pics are hysterical! Sarah Palin® thinks she's sooo cute, mugging like a twelve-year old in line at a Justin Bieber concert.
ReplyDeleteTrouble is, most of us regular folks (aka "Rill 'Mericans") see right through her plastic persona, and don't respect adults who act like that... let alone vote for them.
Sarah has to do/say things to stay "relevant"... It is my hope that some of the bots, are enamored with her right now because there was no reason for them to "vet" on a full scale. If she decides to run, then they may want to really really rilly, know more about her or at least pay attention. Right now, being surface admirer/followers suffice. - OK, I must be delusional to give them that much credit!!
ReplyDeleteDidn't this dude work for McCain before and it didn't work out so well either. Wonder if he will kick RAM's butt out as she does a lousy job.
ReplyDeleteIf President, she'd have half of Wasilla running the White House, and her kids hired as handlers, aides, and Bristol her Press Secretary - ("like, President Palin (chomping gum) refuses to comment, but she thinks for now, it's "cool")) or ("President Palin's G-8 meeting was "awesome"!) or, ("President Palin is settling into her job, and she thinks it's "flippin' fun!").
ReplyDeleteI do not understand how anyone could even consider voting for the "Wild Ride Mama", either its a bald face lie or the most reckless case of child endangerment I have ever heard of!
ReplyDeleteMittens will never let her have the nomination. The only reason she'll declare is to line her pockets. She's discovered some way to get that money for her own use. Something of a loophole, I suspect.
ReplyDeleteHey Gryph, any news on what the hell PieSpy, LLC is yet?
Sigh...I wish she would just fade away.
ReplyDeletePalin is the most self-serving "celebritician" ever to fog up the political landscape, and that's quite a feat in itself given the current cast of characters.
Politics, speaking for money, and being her royal, righteous, reloading self is now her bread and butter. She knows a great money making machine when she sees one. She will not give that up, but will milk it for all she can until her loyal fans desert her.
I just wonder what it will take to wake them up from their stupor?
I think she knows she can't win, but is hoping for a "Sarah Palin Movie" to come out of this. Becoming a presidential candidate, and the drama that follows, in addition to her wild life since the 2008 campaign, has enough intriguing fodder to warrant a movie interest.
ReplyDeleteReally, I think in her head, she's hoping her roguish lifestyle will precipitate offers to make a movie about her and her family's life. Is that why she applied for a trademark?
Is Bristol living in the rented mansion in Arizona with Momma Palin, wonder if Bristol has her 3 children with her? Some think she gave this 3rd baby up for adoption.

Yes, and ONLY "losers" would actually want to work for her. No one in their right mind would get close to this obsessively toxic person (Sarah Palin).
Palin is just trying to con more people out of their hard earned money so that she can launder it for her personal needs. She is a con artist, wonder if RAM knows how crooked she really is?
ReplyDeleteThose photos of Sarra makes her look like she is on meth.
ReplyDeleteI think she's going to jump into the primary thing, but not expect to win. She will bring in a TON more money from the bots because she can't let them down and NOT run! She'll lose the nom, but because she was in the fray, she'll be hired BACK to Faux News as a commentator for a few more million to spew hatred and lies throughout the rest of the election process. Just attempting the run will probably bring her a couple more years of "relevancy" on FN.
ReplyDeleteUnless she can be brought to her knees before that. What else you got in your bag for 2011 Gryph? You said there's more...
PALIN 2012!!!
ReplyDeleteBut now, one of the formerly untouchable IDT officials has resumed a new, more prominent, role on McCain's team -- specifically, overseeing Sarah Palin's travel, schedule and communications operations.
ReplyDeleteAs Portfolio's Lucy Komisar reported in July, IDT head Jim Courter served as one of McCain's "trailblazers," meaning he had raised over $100,000 for the GOP nominee. But soon after news of his company's shady business dealings came to light, he stepped down as a fundraiser, and his name disappeared from the McCain campaign's website, as did the name of Michael Glassner, another McCain bundler who served as a corporate communications official and vice-president at IDT until April. At issue was the company's alleged deal made with former Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide for a monopoly on telephone service in exchange for kickbacks paid into an offshore shell corporation. If true, that would represent a violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The company was tagged with its FCC fine for having failed to disclose its contract with Haiti.
But now, according to a report in the New Jersey Star-Ledger, Glassner has taken an arguably much more plum role in McCain's universe.
"Glassner is the head of vice presidential operations for the McCain campaign, overseeing Sarah Palin's travel, schedule and communications,"

Bring her on! This ought to be FUN!
ReplyDeleteIf she runs, it means she obviously gives not one shit about her kids. From her POV, the past two years people have attacked her and her kids with smear campaigns. To willingly go forward with a plan that would put them under greater scrutiny is very selfish and cruel.
ReplyDeleteOf course, we know that no one has been attacking her family. The Palins have set themselves up for this by using the media so much to further their financial gain. Theyre pigs.

hi Bristle, everyone knows a GREASED PIG is hard to catch, but... it can be done. Usually the PIG runs herself into a corner and makes it easy.
It will be interesting to watch how the Republicans respond if she throws her hat into their primary race. I often thought that Palin would forgo the primaries and run on the 2012 ticket as a Tea Party Independent, thus she could keep doing things as she has been; avoiding real media and only addressing like minded supporters.
ReplyDeleteWhatever her decision she will fracture the Republican Party, the base will rally 'round her but that won't be enough. I'm wondering if she isn't entering the race to legitimize an actual Tea Party by pulling the base from under the GOP and bringing them over to the TP realm for good. This could be a good thing for Progressives as it would create a GOP that becomes more centrist in an ongoing effort to distance themselves from the Tea Party.
Whatever happens it will make for some interesting internet and TV, I'm sure!

Sorry to be a buzzkill/ Debbie Downer and harsh your mellow, but…WTF? Why this guy? He’s never managed a winning campaign and most likely hired Nicole Wallace and the rest of the backstabbers and Democrap moles who sabotaged the McCain campaign. Anybody who would greenlight a six hour inquisition by a hostile and openly leftist propagandist hack like Perky McBitchy (and allow it to be edited into what could only be described as an Obozo campaign commercial) is not to be trusted. I have a lot of other things to bitch about too. They never even attempted to counter any of the lies put forth by the media, and since they gave Sarah the mushroom treatment (fed her sh!t and kept her in the dark) she didn’t know about the lies so she could counter them herself. Then, after the campaign was over, they made up more lies and used her as a scapegoat for their own miserable failure.
I have no problem with her hiring people like Recher (who was basically an advance-man/ assistant and wasn’t making major decisions), but that campaign was horribly managed and I don’t want my SarahPAC donations going to any of the incompetent jackwagons, moles, and trolls who were managing it.
I’m not at all pleased or encouraged by this development, and I’m not donating any more money until i find out more about it.
Into the maw of the "lamestream" media she goes! Hey Sarah, you can't "tweet" it in! Cannot wait to see you vivisected. Catchphrases are nothing without a solid plan.
ReplyDeleteThis is gonna be good! I advise the rest of you to invest heavily in Orville Redenbacher: that stock is going to go through the roof come primary season.
Maybe Sarah's been having an affair with this guy ever since the McPain campaign and things are heating up and she wants him to be closer to her. Anything's possible with these people.
ReplyDeleteYesterday, her bots begged for "birthday donations" to the PAC. Sarah liked that feeling and wants more of that money, so she has to run.
ReplyDelete$arah needs to keep up the "air" of running or her worshippers will stop contributing to her PAC. How the hell is she going to pay for that mansion that she is renting in AZ, then? Use her own personal funds? I don't think so.
ReplyDeleteWhen it becomes apparent that she won't run, she'll use her props as an excuse just to keep 2016 OR a Senate run in AZ alive. Lord knows that she couldn't run in Alaska and win. Then she can continue to grift more money from her stupid believers.
I just laugh at the fools who continue to throw their money at her. She's using them, and they don't even know it.
Two huge homes next to each other (ONE built with stuff leftover from the Wasilla Sports Complex, and the other built with troll money), and a huge mansion in AZ rented with PAC money. And $he is supposed represent one the Real Amurikkkans? Hahahahaha.
Um, she just hired a benchwarmer to get a little publicity on CPAC weekend. If this guy were a real player, which he isn't, he'd be at CPAC working on getting a real client.
ReplyDeleteDid you see her PAC's last financial report? All she does with the money is pay for travel, her own books and a pile of expensive advisers. He's just another one on the list -- and like all the others, has either no reputation or a tarnished one. He's not in the major leagues when it comes to Republican campaigns.

Of course she knows, but Palin has a 6" clit
and knows how to use it. How could Ramsour
resist Palin the Pitbull's lipstick?
Yep. Popcorn is going to become a household staple around here.
ReplyDeleteJust one question: Does everyone prefer hot air popped or microwave?
I've been a regular reader of this blog since 2008, and I would love nothing more than to see Sarah Palin crash and burn. But I'm also a spiritual person and I hate to see so many people angry or upset by this news.
ReplyDeleteIt's my belief that Sarah, in her bizarre, twisted way, is doing a great service to us all - just as the universe has planned. Because maybe it will take the extreme lunacy and radicalism of a Palin campaign to actually wake Americans up and let them finally envision a progressive, sensible plan for the future of this country.
Sarah Palin represents everything that is wrong with the US - greed, media manipulation, racism, arrogance, failing education. She is a tool for the rich, and the perfect wake-up call for a nation that has become largely apathetic. So I say run, Sarah, run!
God has opened a door alright, but I think it's for the soul of our country, not the personal enrichment of some bat-shit crazy narcissist.
Poor old Sarah, she does dumb so well. She is more ignorant now than when she quit as governor.
ReplyDeleteThat preggers Bristol has not been taught how to have sex and not make babbies. Who's your daddy, little newborn baby?
Akpetmom: I think you're right. Running in a primary is HARD. It takes lots of work and lots time spent away from her taco crunch supremes.
ReplyDeleteAlso, OT you guys think all those tummy pains she told her masseuse about were really infections and not constipation from the lowcarb diet?
Sarah Palin has never gone through the primary process. If she gets that far, she will try to bluff her way through and control the media exposure. She knows that probably won't work; the primary season is bloody and it's survival of the fittest. She is just teasing some more money from her avid supporters and, at the last possible moment, she'll say that she weighed the options and decided that her family needed her or some such malarkey. And her bots will believe her. In fact, they would believe her if Todd were found shot and she held the smoking gun. No matter what proof is offered of her immoral and illegal activities, there are certain people who will believe she was framed. We can only hope to convince the vast majority that she is like Kryptonite to real democracy.
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised at this development. It's the pathology of Sarah Palin that she MUST run.
ReplyDeleteEven knowing that her poll numbers are in the toilet and that 72% of Americans just don't want her anywhere near the White House will not deter her. Sarah Palin's narcissism won't let her fade into the background while the Presidential candidates take the limelight.
Her options are to run and lose, with the upside of the added prestige of having been a presidential candidate, or not run and feel like a loser. Palin will fight tooth and nail against being the has-been that she actually is.
So Sarah Palin is pallin around with criminals. Classy.
ReplyDeleteWhy Sarah really didn't want to go to CPAC:
ReplyDeleteShe would have given the closing keynote following the results of the straw poll.
Just in:
Ron Paul wins again with 30%
Mitt Romney 23%
Sarah and others on the ballot tied with 6% each

Palin looks overtly psychotic in those photos. They are the best outward representation of her internal mental (non) functioning.
ReplyDeleteTruly sad for our great country that such a poor schmuck is even being considered for a run for POTUS.
I don't think those photos of her are pretty at all. Guess I know her too well and find her as ugly inside as out...and, yes, I'm an Alaskan!
ReplyDeleteAmazing that she/they are moving her ahead to run against all the other Republicans. I just cannot see her coming out on top. What are they thinking? She knows nothing and constantly lies about everything. What is wrong w/Americans?
I think it is all about the money! She'll be able to have protection/secret service paid for by the taxpayers, be able to build her bank accounts, etc.
Can you imagine her having handled the Egyptian situation?
President of the United States? You have to be kidding!!
The folks who are being paid by SarahPAC are riding the golden goose. They have nothing to lose and everything to gain by hanging on to it until it no longer flies.
ReplyDeleteOops! Looks like the CPAC is different...worse for Sarah than I thought.

It's called 'distributing wealth'.
ReplyDeleteFrom the feeble-minded to the grifter. How's that 'cha-chingy' thingy going fer ya palinbots?
Palin only gets 3% at this year's CPAC, down from a pathetic 7% last year.
ReplyDeleteLOL, she isn't running...not on those numbers.

oh my, all these happenings these last few days is driving me to ice cream!!
ReplyDeleteThe presidential debates are going to be a blast. As are all the negative snarks at Palin from the other candidates. It will set a record for nasty campaign commercials. And she'll never win. So just sit back and enjoy watching her melt down. She won't be able to handle the negative attention.
ReplyDeleteI'd say it was lipstick on a pig, except I have more respect for pigs than i do for palin.
ReplyDeleteGeez.. the old nag Ms. Hypocrisy came in 9th and behind wacky Bachmann...oh the injustice!!! ROTFLMAO!
ReplyDeleteMaybe the GOP wants a few early resounding primary victories to give someone clear frontrunner status. That might make the primaries less painful and bring the candidate to the convention just glowing with possibility.
ReplyDeletePalin in the first couple primaries would be the sacrifical lamb for that scenario. So maybe the GOP is going to try to bury babygate possibly permanently.
After Palin has served her purpose, whatever made her quit the governorship will every so gently rear its ugly head again.
Palin will be relegated to fundraising until it's clear that plastic surgery can even fool the old fat cats anymore. After that, a comfy ride on religion TV.
Agreed c @1:17. She wants the prestige of saying she was the first female GOP presidential candidate. She doesn't really care that she'll lose- she knows she will. But to use her words, if she becomes that first female GOP candidate, "You can't take that away from her." It will be her trifecta that will ensure a long pay day. First female gov of AK. First female GOP VP candidate and finally first female GOP top of the ticket.
ReplyDeleteShe knows she can't go farther than that and she doesn't want to. If she actually WANTED to do the work associated with the title, she'd never have quit the governorship of AK.
One interesting thing is that the comments on that CNN story are uniformly negtive. I've never seen that happen on a CNN story about her before.

I believe $arah will run right up to the bell, but I don't think $he has any intention of being a serious contender. $he couldn't handle the stress and $he sure couldn't handle the rigorous examination that any presidential candidate has to endure.
ReplyDeleteI betcha $he's already got an excuse waiting in the wings - might be a "better" opportunity, might be a family illness, but you can count on it NOT being $arah's fault, so her bots can keep up the "poor $arah" pity party, ensuring that the ca$h continues to roll into her coffers.
QUITTU$ will quit again. $he ain't got the stones for this.
We could coin the word "Bristol" like Bork.
ReplyDeleteBristol definition: slovenly, lazy, slothful, piggish, big-chinned, easy, unintelligent, intelligable speaker, drunken, loose morals
For example, Her bristol behavior resulted in a bad case of herpes.

ReplyDeleteMittens will never let her have the nomination. The only reason she'll declare is to line her pockets. She's discovered some way to get that money for her own use. Something of a loophole, I suspect.
Hey Gryph, any news on what the hell PieSpy, LLC is yet?
Some new info on PieSpy LLC is here

"Services for the Elderly and Persons With Disabilities", not so much anymore. If it ever was about that.
She will not win the nomination.
ReplyDeleteI think this is the BEST news EVER for the progressive voter!!!
ReplyDeleteThe GOP is truly the party of no solutions and will remain marginalized if Sarah Palin throws in her hat for 2012. Now if only Obama would make some headway toward real change, not this namby pamby crap.
Paisely @10:02, that was brilliant!
ReplyDeleteOh come on!!! Sarah will just transition to Christian Broadcast and work the money jar until she can't eat anymore — after her POTUS run. I think she will in all her narcissistic glory milk the GOP for all they are worth.
ReplyDeleteRemember: She doesn't trust them either.
@11:14 Is that you Palinman? Still wearing your red pajamas and stalking your quitter queen? Sorry to see you so upset that you're not going to keep giving till it hurts. Take a chill pill. Maybe you'll get the mushroom treatment yourself (BTW, thanks for the explanation for the rest of us not hip to the bot conspiracy theories) especially that 1st part about eating shit. You guys are at least good for a laugh of two. Two bucks says you'll be back to kissing quitty-pooh's ass before the night's over.

Anon @ 11:14, thanks for sharing the RINO-Hunter comment.
ReplyDeleteI've seen this poor slob's comments on various sites, but it never fails to amaze me when I witness the crazy, delusional ticking of their brains.
First the irony is searing: on one hand, Palin is the Mama Grizzly, taking on her party, bucking up the AK economy, and putting the Corrupt Bastards in jail (yes, I know, not one shred of truth), yet on the other hand it's poor Palin, kept in the dark, pounded into submission by perky little Katie Couric (I understand there was very little editing done: what Palin said is what she said. Instead, only segments of the entire interview were included. Boy, I'd love to see the entire thing beginning to end. I have a feeling Katie was actually kind to Sarah) and victimized by the horribly mean McCain people. (Wah!).
Second, they are in full throttle worship mode. It's a very strange dynamic.
I just don't think she's going to run, not really run anyway. As another poster said, she's going to finish siphoning off what she can through her PAC. After her idiot folloers and the media realize they've been suckered for the last two years, her PAC won't be such a good source of money anymore. At that point, I expect to see her do more reality TV stints and hawking lots of products. She'll always be famous and able to make money off that, but her political career was finished when she quit her job.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe it was when she gave an interview with a turkey being decapitated behind her.
I've seen that look in her eye before - after her resignation speech. She's got some more millions coming her way methinks. When will she be gone please? And with all the excitement about Shailey Tripp, I forgot about your tidbit about the media getting their hands on photos from the spouse's luncheon. Any developments there?
ReplyDeleteI think she'll pretty much have to declare a candidacy to keep the coffers producing cash but will never really get out of the starting gate...she can't afford the scrutiny and the shellacking. Someone suggested that her next gig might be working the christian broadcasting arena. Plenty of money, exposure and adoration and very little work involved to obtain it.
ReplyDeleteInteresting results with the straw poll. Who will be the sacrificial lamb in 2012? I see a further meltdown of the GOP and unless Obama screws up he'll have his two terms handed to him.
Sheesh

Look at her debate against our sweet JB--she
didn't answer any questions, she just read a
speech, and the mod let her get away with it.
She was like some kid in a wheelchair who
gets to be a cheerleader & everyone pretends
she is great. Or a 5 year old throwing out the
first pitch at a ballgame. She is the little
retarded girl in politics. They gave her a
pass and she doesn't know it because she
is too stupid, so she thinks she is good, and
now she wont go away.
She's a fighter - a psychopath who LOVES and CRAVES attention and competition. Pscyhopaths don't care what others say - it just fuels their ambitions to the nth degree. They are ruthless and don't have to go around offing people to be labeled as such.
ReplyDeleteI've known these people. Unfortunately they thrive in business affairs and politics. They have no empathy for others whatsoever and there is no cure for their mental condition. Most are simply born that way. They are usually very charming on the surface.
They bounce back again and again. It's like being a drug addict - they will do anything to get a high and in Sarah's case, world recognition and power. WE know she will fail in her efforts to be president, but she does not. So I say enjoy the show - and get ready to offer our congratulations to President Obama in his second term.
Anon @ 2:01 pm "I'd say it was lipstick on a pig, except I have more respect for pigs than i do for palin."
ReplyDeleteAnd pigs are more charming than Palin, pigs are more intelligent than Palin and pigs definitely smell better than Palin.
anon@ 12:14.......only one way to do popcorn and that'd be on the stovetop 8)
ReplyDeleteInteresting that palinbots, Teabaggers, and Democrats are all on the same page when it comes to Sarah's possible run for US President. Everybody wants her to run and actually win the Republican nomination.
ReplyDeleteThat's the best she can do since Jason Recher left her? At least, I think he's gone since we haven't heard a word about him and he was seen accompanying President Bush to book signings. Who else has she hired? It takes far more than the handful of people she has working with her to even attempt to run for President. Is it possible he's just a replacement for Recher and she's getting ready to attempt to do in 2012 what she did in 2010 although with far less in the way of results that she'll be happy with since she's washed up. They aren't talking about her much at all on the news shows when a show never went by without a mention of her name for well over a year, despite whatever stupid thing they were talking about in reference to Palin.
ReplyDeleteI find it amazing that she gets all upset with Time over an article that was mistaken for reality, it's been done at Fox more than once, but doesn't say a word about Trippgate or Babygate and the effects Shailey Tripp will have on her fake pregnancy! She's unable to say anything because it's all true.
