Greta Van Sustern asked Rove if Palin could run an unconventional campaign. Rove answered, “Her people think so. They’ve talked with people about it, whom I’ve talked to, and they’ve been very explicit about it — that she doesn’t need to go to Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina, press the flesh and go to all these local events in order to cultivate the local leadership. She can talk to people over that. She doesn’t need to cultivate the fundraisers and the bundlers, because her mere presence in the race will generate the cash needed for the campaign. She doesn’t need to do things in a normal way to lay out a message. She can do it on Facebook. She can do it by having a friendly producer release a movie that is seen in theaters, and that’s going to be the interesting thing.”
Rove then issued a warning about the Palin strategy, “I frankly think that the people in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, there are some of the niceties that you ignore at your own peril. There is a reason why, these people in the early states take it very seriously, and they expect to see you, be able to hear up close, be able to ask you questions, be able to see you multiple times before they make a commitment, and we’ll see if that old rule remains the same.”
He said that Palin is making it clear that if she runs, she is doing it by her rules. Nobody should be surprised that Sarah Palin wouldn’t want to hit the campaign trail, but the real stunner is that she arrogantly believes that she doesn’t have to fundraise either. She seriously thinks that the day she announces the floodgates are going to open and millions of dollars will pour in.
The real problem with the people who support a Palin run, besides their obvious lack of intellect, is that they keep confusing media attention with voter support.
Yes, if Sarah Palin decides to announce her candidacy she WILL receive a ton of attention from the media. And she will also attract a rather significant initial infusion of cash for her campaign. (If her sycophants aren't in the poorhouse after buying dozens of tickets to her crappy movie and several copies of Bristol's book that is.)
But then what?
She clearly cannot stand on stage and engage in a debate with the other GOP contenders, so she will have to find some reason avoid that. (Perhaps she could get a note from Michele Bachmann's doctor?)
She cannot appear on any cable, or network, news program to answer REAL questions from an interviewer who is not paid to resist the urge to embarrass her, so she will have to avoid that.
Every single potential scandal about her, including babygate, will be revisited by the journalists who, having no access to her, will feel the need to investigate them aggressively in order to answer voter's questions about her worthiness to be the President.
And finally the people who have agreed not to reveal the things they know about her, in the GOP and around Alaska, unless she decided to run for President, will suddenly start showing up on news programs all across the country, and telling tales that NO amount of public relations management will be able to suppress.
In other words, it would be insane for Sarah Palin to decide to run for President, but as we all know....
Personally I believe that Palin is currently caught in an internal war between her fantasy of who she is and what she can do, and the reality that keeps slipping through the cracks of her giant wall of denial and reminding her of her devastating limitations and how aggressive the press will be in revealing them.
That taken into account with the fact that her pool of supporters has diminished to the size of a mud puddle exposed to the Arizona sun, would seem to indicate that she will not run for office, and might instead work overtime to think up a viable excuse that will keep her supporters sending her money while she decides which candidate might be desperate enough to promise her some cushy appointment to their cabinet in exchange for her now relatively useless endorsement.
You can really see that 'wonky' eye of Palin's in that photo.
ReplyDeleteM. from MD
Could this get any weirder.
ReplyDeleteSame name, her hometown is Heath Texas, her dad masterbates to the elder Sarah, countdown to when Palin calls them up to exploit the girl for her own greed.
http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/43848058/ns/today-today_people/
I'll risk it...her supporters are retarded, or just plain ignorant. The woman is not qualified to even run for POTUS (but then, neither is the very racist Cain, so there you go.) She has zero intellectual curiosity, banks on attracting the lowest common denominator if voters (although I bet she never learned what an LCD is,) and cannot yet compose a literate answer to an off the cuff question. Go away, Sarah. Your dream is over-you turned it into our national nightmare, and we are now fully awake.
ReplyDeletePalin has no choice but to run. The rubes she fleeced will demand it in return for their being taken and will "lynch" her in a heartbeat if she turns tail and runs away with all of their cash.
ReplyDeleteI would not want to be in her shoes at this moment in time.
"Every single potential scandal about her, including babygate, will be revisited by the journalists who, having no access to her, will feel the need to investigate them aggressively in order to answer voter's questions about her worthiness to be the President."
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't count on this happening, ever. I haven't seen any evidence that any mainstream journalists have any inclination whatsoever to take an honest look at Palin. They don't answer questions. They push pre-determined narratives and stoke sensationalistic controversy. Informing the public plays zero part in the entire production.
Sarah didn't blink when she made her decision to run for vice president. What's the dealio with all her dithering now?
ReplyDeleteThe word is
ReplyDeleteRETARDED
there, now, I helped you out!
Sarah thinks all she has to do to win... is fill the water bra a little more.
ReplyDeleteand wink.
No doubt that Sarah Palin can run a campaign like a celebrity. However, she simply cannot run a campaign like a candidate. She its not a contender.
ReplyDeleteCan't run. Won't run. She wants to be in entertainment but she has no talent. Neither does homely Bristol.
ReplyDeleteHer endorsements are disasters.
ReplyDeleteHer following are on the far fundi right and her very own small amount of rabid nut cases.
So they stay home? No one will miss their votes.
This photo really shows Palin's wonky eye.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if this could have been corrected via surgery? My sister had what could be the same issue and had corrective eye surgery when she was in junior high school.
Maybe her parents feared doing this. My sister had to beg to get my mom to approve this surgery.
But, now Palin is an adult who has gone under the knife for so many non-medical issues. Yet, she ignores 'real' corrective surgery.
A bit of irony to me is that supposedly Sarah's glasses are just for show. Yet, Trig actually needs glasses, but is rarely seen wearing them.
Esther, er Sarah, this is God. Run, Sarah, run. You know you want to. Remember, I am opening that door for you. Hurry up and get in so the haterz can know the truth about babygate. You are nothing without a title.
ReplyDeleteOh, do you mean the Palin supporters who are stupid, obtuse, or ineffective in some way and have an IQ between 70 and 85?
ReplyDeleteI truly BELIEVE she is Satan Incarnate.
ReplyDeleteAt the beginning she will jump in the polls like Bachmann did, then when they figure out she is a Potemkin Candidate, it will collapse.
ReplyDeleteAnd Nicole Wallace said she would talk if Mrs. Todd Palin runs.
And Joe McGinnis is going to put a Escalade size dent in her plans.
Off topic but -
ReplyDeleteJoe McG's blog has a story today about Jeremy Morlock, the Palin's friend.
She can't play by the rules--she never has--rules don't apply to the Palins. If she did she would have to produce college records and we could see whether she actually to earn a college degree.
ReplyDeleteHow anyone could change majors and colleges that many times with only three semesters at a 4-years college and earn a BS is beyond me.
HA HA HA HA HA! MSNBC just did a segment called "and these are things we thought you should know."
ReplyDeleteThey talked about Track's baby on the way and then they said THIS:
"Sarah's daughter gave birth to TRIG in 2008!"
Getting the hint SP and BP?
I'll say it. RETARDS!
ReplyDeleteI'll say it. RETARDS!
ReplyDeleteEvery now and then she starts realizing that she is in over her head and disappears for awhile. Then she goes off her drugs and God tells her that she can win and off we go again.
ReplyDeleteSo, when does FOX kick her off the air?
ReplyDeleteThe more money Sarah Palin wastes on her fantasies, the less money to fund a long-term presence in American politics.
ReplyDeleteI hope Palin wastes gazzillions of tea party dollars trying to make a facebook dent in the NH voters (who from personal experience expect nothing less than being treated like royalty by groveling presidential candidates).
Nicole Wallace is not the only person ready to unload on Palin if she even remotely looks like a possible candidate. And when those people are finished with Palin, there's still babygate to surface.
Sarah Palin is mentally unstable and this autumn will stress her limited abilities with a full blast of reality. Couldn't happen to a more deserving dreg of humanity.
She can't get a note from Bachmann's doctor but if she could get a copy of it she could cut and paste and make something that looked like a note from a doctor.
ReplyDeleteLast night on Keith Olbermann, Palin made it on worst person list AGAIN:

Ella @10:43, you didn't happen to tape that, did you? I would have liked to have heard that one. HaHaHaHa! indeed.
ReplyDeleteWould there be a transcript? I bet that Sarah whines and then they have to retract.
You all have seen how MSNBC treated Cenk Uyger (spelling?), right? MSNBC, the NB stands for No Balls.
Sarah will continue to do whatever Sarah wants, and will not consider what anyone else thinks. THAT is enough right there to show how disastrous she would be as POTUS.
ReplyDeleteRick Perry will get in to knock Sarah out. He has big money behind him--much of it oil money. And he has been much more favorable to big oil than Sarah.
ReplyDeleteI believe she is waiting on Perry and will try to steal his thunder the day he announces--which should be sometime after Aug 6. He was a state legislator, Lt Gov and Governor for the past 10 years in Tx--he's been in politics forever and has a healthy job creation record that Palin doesn't have.
I am a very liberal Democrat and have never voted for Perry. He becomes whatever he needs to be to win. He can slickly worm his way out of the secession comment, too. I think he is on the brink of ruining Tx. but he is trying to get on the national stage before his devastation hits home.
If you doubt me, go to timeforperry.com and look at the slickly produced ad. It came out this week.
AND she'll have to open up her finances to public scrutiny.
ReplyDeleteShe'll never allow that to happen.
my theory is that if PAYlin decided NOT to run, she's going to create a false flag attack on her house or someone in the family.
ReplyDeleteThey'll hire some of the Alaska AIP party thugs, or Todd's buddies, or some militant skinheads to dress up
as eco-terrorists, and do something
to provoke " outrage" in the media.
Burn down a bulding, fake a kidnapping, ram her car on a lonely road, a fake home invasion for Chuckie's place, or some such ruse.
Then, she can play SUPER-victim, whine about all the haters, spout 100 canned talking points, and say
that only dead fish go with the flow.
SUPER-Victims can't run for President because they fear for their safety and family, doncha know? Wink Wink!
Been following C4P and other Palin sites for a while and one interesting thing happening now is that the vast majority of supporters are intimating they will really be pissed if their Queen does not enter the race. To the point some long time supporters are alluding she scammed them all if she doesn't run.
ReplyDeleteThey don't want to really take in the conflicting recent comments Palin made, saying in one instance that her choice depends on family support, and then right after that saying it all depends if someone else with a "servant's heart" whom she can support gets in.
No way Faux News has not already discussed this with her, and with recent Murdoch scandal, I wouldn't think Fox would keep her on the payroll if she is running.
It's highly amusing really, Grifter Queen has led on her base for so long that if she doesn't run she will lose them, and she and Todd know they can't win and it will get ugly.
What to do what to do?? Oh my, caught between a rock and hard place of her own doing, it's gonna be fun to watch the fallout.
"Sarah didn't blink when she made her decision to run for vice president. What's the dealio with all her dithering now?"
ReplyDeleteP E R F E C T question.
I think much of $arah's bravado came about from successfully faking experience to get elected as Wasilla's mayor. Plus she told vicious lies during her campaign, her favorite hobby, and she wasn't held accountable. Once elected, she handed off her responsibilities to a city manager that she hired to do her job. Everything went her way.
ReplyDeleteThen she seized the opportunity to get herself elected governor as a mythical ethics reformer. Again, she used her position to tell spiteful lies and abuse her power. She actually got away with faking a public pregnancy to advance her career. Plus, she had others do her governor work so she was rarely in Juneau, a place she detested. So much faking. So easy. So much fun.
So when the chance came to be vice president, she knew she could fake it and get others to do her work (if she could keep her damn family members in line). She basked in the glory of racists' adoration and her nasty rhetoric reached new lows. But, as shocking as it was to $arah, some people were finally starting to pick up on her lies, ignorance, maliciousness, thoughtlessness, and narcissism. They were actually demanding accountability from her. How dare they?? Those...those child molesters! Those...those terrorists! They're not reel Americans!
She is now a bonafide Quitter and has only increased the world's negative view of her. But, reality won't stop her from running for president. No way. She's tasted success and she's hungry. That, and her "God" is on her side. She thinks she can sit on the sidelines and wait for the perfect opportunity near the end of the game to throw a winning free throw! All bow to the Queen of the Game.
I want her to run. I want all those photos of her without makeup that have been circulating behind the scenes to go national. I want all that footage of temper tantrum sarah to go national. I want that bubble popped.
ReplyDeleteThey don´t get any uglier, inside and out, than sarah palin.
C4Peee has their newest scam up. An exclusive "debut" private showing of the undefeated in Cleveland Ohio. $34.95 a ticket. They are peeing allover themselves claiming she is going to enter the race then. You know that when she eventually comes out and says that she is not running, three quarters of the people on c4pee are going to have to be put on suicide watch.
ReplyDeleteActually, I look for her to emerge as an Evangelical Preacher---Amy McPherson type.
ReplyDeleteIt's a much better fit. She can grift all the money she wants and until God contradicts her, whatever she says will float.
Palin is profoundly stupid and her narcissism is beyond measure. She thinks that gravity doesn’t apply to her and that HER shit smells like roses. Her tribe of moronic cousin humpers that are her fans buy into her bullshit without question.
ReplyDeletePalin does indeed conflate media attention with votes. Andrew Not-So-Bright-Bart can also attract media attention but he would stand about as much chance of being elected POTUS as Rupert Murdoch. Palin’s chances aren’t much better.
Modern science lacks the technological sophistication required to produce an instrument which is capable of measuring the infinitesimally minute amount of grey matter that is actually contained in Palin’s skull.
And yet she will run for president.
Palin will not attend a single debate, yet she will still run. She will likely not take part in a single primary, yet she will still run. She will not attract meaningful campaign donations, yet she will still run. She will not be able to attract experienced or even competent campaign staff, yet she will still run. She will assiduously avoid interviews with all but CBN and FauxNews - if FauxNews is still around, yet she will still run. She will not articulate cogent or even intelligible statements on any issue, yet she will still run. She will not attract the endorsement of any sane prominent members of the GOP, yet she will still run. She will attract the enmity of even more prominent members of the GOP who will speak out against her candidacy, yet she will STILL run. She could witness Jesus Christ, the Apostles and a choir of 1000 angels all testifying that she did not have a snowball’s chance in hell of winning, AND YET SHE WILL STILL RUN!
Palin is a simpering congenital moron whose vanity simply compels her to seek the fame, celebrity, and riches which she imagines will all be hers if she but attains the White House. Like a moth to the flame, Palin is inexorably drawn towards what will be a certain crushing defeat, abject humiliation, and national rejection, AND YET SHE WILL STILL RUN! The proverbial moth is much smarter than Palin.
She will put her ignorance on display, she will step on every rake that she possibly can, and she will subject herself to the most excruciating humiliations possible, and through it all declare that indeed, she can STILL win. Remember, if it weren’t for bad ideas, Palin would have no ideas at all. If it’s a batshit crazy, loopy assed, no-way-in-hell, brain dead idea, Palin will be all for it.
THAT’S what makes Sarah Palin so damn fun to watch. We will witness the months long Palin train wreck unfold before our eyes. She is simply, unalterably, pathologically driven to run for POTUS.
And I will enjoy every minute of it.
I still say a half-assed run at best, before a full-scale attempt at reinventing herself as a player in the profitable Chri$tian industry. The woman has trademarked her name. Take the hint.
ReplyDeleteSo well put, Gryphen.
ReplyDeleteJust let this woman introduce her chaos, her special brand of crazy, into the GOP field. Just let her. They deserve every single moment of trouble she causes them.
The beauty of the thing is that she sucks the air out of any room she's in. Many in the press will completely palaver over her and she will saturate political coverage - drawing attention away from other Republican candidates who might be going about things the traditional way (Karl Rove is sheer evil, but he is right that she ignores the grassroots at her own peril).
Ultimately, however, the entire thing will implode, the rumors and skeletons will come tumbling down on top of her - all while our President remains calm and collected, steadily attending to our era's multiple crises.
He'll be there to soothe everyone's frayed nerves; he'll look like the brilliant, self-composed statesman that he is, and he'll win everyone over once again.
This era in world history is not for the faint of heart, or the pretenders.
You just try, Sarah Palin.
(Same goes for you, Bristol. Your 15 minutes are about up. We've got your number.)
She's too deluded and dim to grasp the reality of what running for the Republican nomination - or third party even - will bring down on her head. She thinks she can do it HER way. Hah! No free pass! I can't wait to see her with her thin-skin get out there and mix it up with the pros on their turf. She won't be able to keep up with all the blaming, excuse-making and distracting it will require. Just. Cannot. Wait.
ReplyDeleteella @10:43--Do you have a link?
ReplyDelete"Personally I believe that Palin is currently caught in an internal war between her fantasy of who she is and what she can do, and the reality that keeps slipping through the cracks of her giant wall of denial..."
ReplyDelete--------------------------
Well said. I think this explains so much of her otherwise inexplicable behavior.
I believe that her narcissism demands that she run; I believe that her narcissism spurs daydreams of putting the smackdown to President Obama.
At the same time, she is lazy through and through. Running for the presidency is incredibly hard work, physically, mentally, psychologically, and in any other way you can think of. Sarah doesn't do hard work.
Running for the presidency also means dealing with attention not only from your fans, but from the vast number of people who don't want you to win. Sarah can't handle criticism at all. I believe she is excited about the idea of the adoring crowds cheering her on, but somewhere in the dim recesses of her mind is the memory of people thinking that they had the right to question and criticize, and even laugh at her! How dare they! Sarah does not like that prospect at all.
Running for the presidency means raising incredible amounts of money. She can't see beyond her own infantile spend it all greed on whatever she wants right now. She could not use SarahPac money for her own campaign anyway, but she has had over a million dollars come in just this year. Much of that could have been used to support other candidates for various offices (and get their support in return), and in a variety of other ways to build up future support for her own run (it's called networking, Sarah). She hasn't bothered. She spends as quickly as it comes in, but on specious "consulting" fees and other handouts to family, friends, and sycophants. And of course she spends plenty on her own grandiose entitlements (bus wrap!).
Running for the presidency takes an enormously thick skin. You have to be willing to get your mug and your flapping gums out there at every opportunity and in front of anybody with a camera or a microphone to get your message across. You have to brush off the fear that you will say or do something stupid, or innocent, but misconstrued. You cannot afford to only appear in front of the already converted. What good is that? You have to have the courage of your convictions and be willing (and prepared!) to jump in front of even potentially unfriendly audiences (see above; hard work). Sarah will not run an "unconventional" campaign. She will run a cowardly campaign. Because she is a coward. Because she is too lazy to educate herself and to prepare, she sees the fluffiest questions as attacks.
I think in her heart, she is reveling in the disarray of the GOP clown parade. I think her narcissism combined with her cowardice has her dreaming of a vision in which, after doing no work, raising no money, and not having to participate in debates or interviews, she gets to stroll on stage at the convention to thunderous applause (like last time!) as she graciously accepts the RNC's pleas to be the nominee (not second fiddle this time!).
And then, somehow, someway (magic?) it will just be a hop and a skip into the White House. Because when's she's in charge, by golly, you betcha, God will want her to pull out all the stops to run the most vicious, rage-filled, dangerous, campaign in this country's history.
Another point that normal people keep making is that Sarah doesn't want the presidency because it doesn't pay well enough. It doesn't pay a lot for the work involved if you are a normal, honest, person. Sarah, however, will see it as one grand money-grubbing opportunity just as she did with the governorship and her mayoral position. She and her sticky-fingered family will find more ways to grift, mooch, and fill their pockets than any sane person could think of.
Just googled up "Sarah Palin Monster" and got 27,700,000 hits.
ReplyDeletePeople really do LOVE Sarah Palin.
I dipped a toe in the Sea of Pee the other night for a few minutes. Seemed quite a few were looking at other candidates, talking about Perry MUST get in soon if he planned to run and raise funds. While noting $arah was 'waiting' for the right time, because apparently she already has her campaign-chest in place. (The perky - push up bra)
ReplyDeleteBy failing to announce - she has in fact 'announced'. $arah will not RUN or campaign for the office, but she will accept being 'drafted' into the office by 'popular demand' of her fans and GOP. Seems the intention is to just ride the popularity wave into the highest office of the United States.
This is a very good explanation of Sarah Palin, as possible presidential candidate, namely, that she would have to run an unconventional campaign. She may have deluded herself into believing that she could actually run a rogue campaign, but there are a couple of facts that just keep getting in the way. She has a small, unskilled staff. She has not attracted the same donations compared to the other candidates. She hasn't bother to learn anything, and it is doubtful that she could debate the other candidates or survive a serious interview.
ReplyDeleteSarah would have to run by celebrity, and there is a point where the substance has to be more important than makeup, a short skirt and high high heels. Sarah must really believe that the movie is all the advertising that she needs. Karl Rove has her number, and I don't think that he and the Republican power brokers want to watch Sarah lose another election for them.
I think she will enter very late to skip having to debate the other candidates.
ReplyDeleteShe will not win but will keep her supporters because she tried.
If she causes the republicans to lose she might as well move to a deserted island, she will be finished.
It will be interesting to see what will happen if fox news gets caught up in the scandal that is rocking it's English brethren.
What will happen to all those republican people if fox isn't their to hold their hands/
I WOULD LOVE FOR HER TO RUN! BRING HER ON!
ReplyDeleteNefer hit square on with the comment:
ReplyDelete"I think in her heart, she is reveling in the disarray of the GOP clown parade.

And you're right - we cannot even begin to imagine the endless ways Sarah and her family of grifters could grift from the White House!
Wow, Gryphen, this is a great post! The proof is that you have attracted comments that say in poetic, articulate, intelligent and direct tones why Sarah will run (she has to) and what her failings will be. If one needs to make a comparison, she'll be the 2012 version of Fred Thompson, who thought that he could stand on the stage along side real candidates and his celebrity would be all that he needed. He didn't last very long.
ReplyDeleteThere's also the chance that Sarah is so in love with the idea of running, and so blind to reality that she might try it as a third party candidate. She won her job as governor in a three way race. That would require serious backing, and we'll have to see what happens to her backer, Rupert. I agree with the others who wrote that Sarah can't stay focused for more than a year, and running for president is serious hard work, something that Sarah doesn't do very well.
Great post!
I hope she is watching what is happening to MB. This is only a taste of what she would get if she decides to bring her circus act into the race.
ReplyDeleteI will say the word. RETARDED!!
What will it take to stop her? How much more of her bullshit are people going to believe?
ReplyDeleteThis has gone on way too long. She has absolutely nothing to offer the American people.
I'm with you, Gasman. Entertainment up ahead!
ReplyDeleteI would like to hear what Rove says about Palin in private. Maybe he thinks "Well, I got that dumbass W into the WH, how much worse could SHE be?"
ReplyDeleteahahahahaha she's so cross-eyed! how could anyone support this retard?
ReplyDeleteThey are comparing Bachmans makeup with Tammy Faye Bakers.. Good start to a campaign of someone who is bonkers.
ReplyDeleteGod is talking to them all and making promises.
First George w. via Billy Graham talks to god. Then Sarah Palin and her god. Then Michelle Bachman and hers. Now is Rick Perry and his god.
My god, he can't squeeze all three into the White House. The unholy trinity. Palin, Bachman and Perry.
Oh she has to run . . . . If she doesn't her bots will eat her guts out with a pointed stick. Of course she'll have to take a hit with making no money--but that's what her PAC was for. She'll get ghostwritten whines on Facebook and get arthritic fingers from twittering stupidity. She'll demand Secret Service protection early 'cause someone is threatening to assault her kids.
ReplyDeleteThis will be epic fun. It will be like the bus tour X 1000. The humor will be like Michael Steele on crack. She'll get so excited while the media is following her like dogs on a ribeye. But of course she's trying to help the media -- And as we are laughing she'll forget to put one of her water boobs in her bra.
Remember everybody--nobody tells Crazy what to do. If you say she can't run--she'll do it to prove you wrong and screw it up anyway. Run Sarah, run.
Well said, 11:47am. Of course she will "run", even if it is for just three minutes.
ReplyDeletePalinbots heads will be exploding nationwide when she announces she isn't running. The only question at that point is will they finally realize they were being scammed this whole time? And when they do realize it will they demand their money back or take the law into to their own hands like so many right wing nut jobs love to do? Will a crosshairs map be produced by her former supporters? Imagine the irony of that. These are the monsters you created sarah, now you have to deal with the consequences. Jeez, if sarah thinks that shawn cristy kid is a threat what will she think of the deranged mobs of her former fans when they finally turn on her?
ReplyDeleteNefer: Bravo! You nailed it. Her plan is not "unconventional" it is cowardly, exactly!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I will now pretend that I thought of it!
@11:20 AM
ReplyDeleteyep!
VICTIM is Sarah Palin's role of choice. There is no sweeter drug for her mentally unstable mind.
But I'm leaning toward rape as the scenario she'll choose. It's been a staple for her in the past.
Work? Overtime??
ReplyDeleteGryphen, you jest.
Once again I'm reminded how fortunate we all are that Sarah is lazy and nuts: just think how far she could have gone if she'd just, you know, governed. Or followed the script: study policy, develop credibility, hire professional staff, make a plan, cultivate the party power brokers, etc.
ReplyDeleteInstead she is truly the biggest mess I've ever seen, and throwing away opportunity with both claws!
Bachmann's migraine problem became public, most likely, because one of the other GOP candidates' teams decided to leak it. The letter from her M.D. is obviously written to respond to that damage.
ReplyDeletePalin is watching this-- and it's only the beginning. She knows that the other candidates will not hesitate to open the spigots on her!!! With Palin's baggage, it won't be a leak, it will be a flood.
Sarah is divorced. That is why she won't run.
ReplyDeleteEveryone would find out when she goes by Sarah Louiss Heath.
On the previous post about Bristil, the obsessive troll basically said that Brisket had another baby. Was it Trig?
Or did Trig have twin ruffles or did she miscarry.
That troll thinks she is saving the chin but she is leaking info
President says we have never defaulted & we aren't gonna start now. Sorry sir, that would be incorrect. In 1790 we defaulted on both external and domestic debt obligations. Then as those of us who paid attention in Am. History know, we defaulted again in 1933. Mr. President, did u take American History?? #annoyinglyignorant
ReplyDeleteOnce Perry declares Palin gets to announce she does not need to run now because a candidate acceptable to her is in the race.Then when Perry loses,she can drag out the money talking about 2016 for 4 years.By then she should be set for life with money from the Peebots.
ReplyDeletemommom
This weekend's C4P excuses...
ReplyDelete"...just got back from seeing the undefeated here in N.C. 11:35 showing. there were about 20 people there which wasn't bad considering the time and no advertising and short notice plus being Friday morning and people still working..."
and the sky was cloudy and today's date is even numbered and this theater doesn't have very good popcorn and all the handicapped spots were taken...
If Palin does decide to enter the race with a rogue campaign, whose to stop her? If she doesn't want to debate anyone, she can. If she doesn't want to appear on any television stations, she doesn't have to. There is no law that says she has to. If she wins the nomination, and still thinks she can run a rogue campaign and only do things her way, not take part in the presidential debate, or not answer any of the questions like she did during the VP debate, what then? It will be up to the American public to bitch slap this delusional twit back to reality. If we don't do this, the US deserves what we get. That's when I move to Canada or Costa Rica.
ReplyDeleteThe Twitter President! Yah, Sarah, winning by acclaimation! No need to campaign when you're The Chosen One and your minions will write in your name on the ballot. I, for one, can't wait for her to declare and finally be exposed for the shallow, empty-headed fraud she is. Get your ass up there and debate, Sarah--double dog dare ya! Or are you scared of the "gotcha questions?"
ReplyDeleteThis bimbo, Sarah Palin, could not handle building a hockey rink without screwing up and building it on privately owned property.
ReplyDeleteThis bimbo ran a scam and had her two story house built with similar materials used in the building of her houe.
This bimbo as mayor and governor was so insecure and trusted nobody that she hired unqualified classmates and friends to positions that would protect her.
This bimbo as governor ran a scam to collect per diem to charge taxpayers to live in her own home.
This bimbo could not do her job as mayor or governor without the help of her husband.
This bimbo had Alaskan state employees send emails and get approval from Todd Palin who had no official title or position with the state.
This bimbo can't even raise her own kids to keep their pants up.
So how can this bimbo become president?
conscious at last said...
ReplyDeleteBachmann's migraine problem became public, most likely, because one of the other GOP candidates' teams decided to leak it. The letter from her M.D. is obviously written to respond to that damage.
Palin is watching this-- and it's only the beginning. She knows that the other candidates will not hesitate to open the spigots on her!!! With Palin's baggage, it won't be a leak, it will be a flood.

I got my popcorn ready.
Sarah Palin and her retards, get ready cuz you aint seen nothing yet. Here comes the pain!
Because nobody puts Crazy in the corner!

Total for first week is $76,718
$1,096 per day average (7 days) for each theater or 110 tickets sold per day at each theater
UNDEFEATED my ass!!!
You know - the wonderful part of all of this is that Sarah and Bristol are not getting alot of national coverage - as they use to.
ReplyDeleteI live in SE IN, red country, Sarah's supposed real "Uhmerkins"... NONE of them know who the hell she is./ Seriously. I mention her name and they go "huh?"
ReplyDeleteAs much as Faux and other supposed news outlets pump her, she does NOT register with regular working people. They think she is a celebrity, nothing more. Think an old Paris Hilton.
To Anonymous 2:25---I like the idea of escaping to someplace exotic like Costa Rica if--god forbid--sarah Payme should win the Presidency. I would eschew all news sources, read ancient tomes and try to forget I was ever a citizen of the utterly destroyed formerly proud Unites States of America. Apres Palin, le deluge.
ReplyDeleteTheaters take approximately 55% of the box office.
ReplyDeleteSo at 45% Bannon would earn $34,521 for the first week.
At this rate it would take Bannon 29 weeks to recoup his $1,000,000 investment in Queen Esther.
I bet DVD sales will save 'em!
Sarah is a master at manipulating the media. They fall for her tricks every time. Now, she has prolonged the tease of "Will she or won't she" through August and September. She might be able to drag it out until October. Then what?
ReplyDeleteShe really can't run a regular campaign, and she can't stay out of the spotlight. She has two months to think of a rogue campaign and an appeal for more donations-- or the world's best excuse about postponing either her decision or her candidacy because--- come on, think of a good face-saving excuse for Sarah.
Anon said: Then as those of us who paid attention in Am. History know, we defaulted again in 1933. Mr. President, did u take American History?? #annoyinglyignorant 1:48 PM
ReplyDeleteYes, you are annoyingly ignorant. We did not "default" in 1933. The gold standard is gone, idiot. Get over it.
BTW, did "U" take American History yourself or did you just "study" at Limbaugh U.?
Methinks someone has forewarned the Grifting Quitter that should she even pretend to announce a run, ALL of the tidy little secrets (including Tawd's dastardly dealings) WILL mysteriously find the light of day... hence the forfeited bus tour.
ReplyDeleteBesides, when she falls (and yes sarah, you will plunge the pit of Hell), many of her cohorts will fall along side. Soooooo, the alleged Christian will continue to lie and fleece her minions for as long as she possibly can. So why not pimp out Bristol for more loot, while the RAMster is banished to the basement.
Quite sad, really.
She's running on empty, driving the clown train over the bridge to nowhere landing squarely into the sea of pee, her lemmings will surely follow her to the bitter end.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sorry excuse for a political party the gop has become, to stand aside and let this moron speak on their behalf is just retarded. There, I said retarded.
There are too many skeletons in her closet, and too many of her own lies she's even forgotten there's footage of on you tube.
I totally agree with Gasman
Maybe little ruffled-ear DID survive and grow to look a lot like his/her mommy... so Bristol's face had to be altered ASAP
ReplyDeleteLooking closely at above image, one can catch a glimpse of a child in despair,
ReplyDeletebeing involuntarily taught the art of the grift.
God save the Piper.
Anon @ 11:20 -- your suggestion that Sarah might stage phony threats, or an assault on herself or her family, to give her an excuse not to run while playing the victim is plausible, given her history, but would be a very stupid tactic. Violence or threats of violence for the purpose of preventing a person from exercising the constitutional right of running for public office is a federal crime. To put the Obama administration above suspicion, it would be in the administration's interest to identify and prosecute anyone involved in any such threat or assault to the full extent of the law, so anyone involved in faking a threat or assault would have the choice of admitting that it was a charade (and no crime), or spending a long time in prison.
ReplyDeleteSarah might have followers so devoted that they would spend time in prison for the sake of making her President, but for the sake of letting her avoid running without losing face? Don't think so.
I hope she does run!
ReplyDeleteThen we can see how bad Bristol's Photoshop skills are!
I dunno, Gryphen. I mostly think you're one of the good guys, but sometimes it's hard to tell.
ReplyDeleteNoble intentions or not, you are part of the machine that fuels Sarah Palin. You participate in keeping her in the public eye, relevant and running. You are part of what generates her income. If they are not paying you, they should be!
But for the life of me, I cannot figure out how you have a dog in the hunt.
Thanks for the update on "The Oft-Defeated" numbers, Anon4:25pm.
ReplyDeleteAlso the percentage of the coin the theaters take to exhibit the films. Whew! Pretty steep.
She is probably running low on $; otherwise why didn't she buy out the theaters completely and buy more of Bristol's books.
ReplyDeleteBut for the life of me, I cannot figure out how you have a dog in the hunt.
ReplyDelete6:49 PM
If you are not outraged that his...person...got so close to walking the corridors of power, then you have not been paying attention.
We will never forgive, never forget.
is there a group of people in this country who have a lower IQ than palin supporters? yeah that's a rhetorical question.
ReplyDelete"There is a reason why, these people in the early states take it very seriously, and they expect to see you, be able to hear up close, be able to ask you questions...."
ReplyDeleteWhoa!-----hold it right there. That ain't gonna work for Simple Sarey! No 'gotcha' questions, no reading questions, no pregnancy questions.....none of that mentally challengin' stuff for Duh Half-Term Quitter.
Hi Sarah, Welcome Back!
ReplyDeleteQuick question, Where's Trig's birth certificate?
(cuz if ya run...ya gotta show it!)
What do you mean "if" she runs? She has BEEN running!
ReplyDeleteShe'll continue to be coy as long as the FOX paycheck continues, however she also is counting upon the other candidates wearing themselves out in the chase, the public not being interested in any of them, and then stepping in as if an answer to a prayer.
Is the c__t running or is the c__t not running? That is the question.
ReplyDeleteYour math is wrong, 4:25.
ReplyDeleteIf the Undefeated made $11,586 from Monday-Thursday, the number of moviegoers was actually much less than you suggest.
Let's say the average ticket price was $8.
$11,586 / $8 = 1,448.
Divide that by four days, you get 362 moviegoers a day. Divide that by the 10 cities, that means there's only about 36 tickets sold per theater, per day.
Divide that by 5 showings (that's how many showings there typically are in a day per theater), that averages out to about 7 moviegoers for each screening.
Truly pathetic, and it's hilarious how the C4P'ers are trying to spin the movie as a big success.
Well, I used to think that America wouldn't be stupid enough to elect people who are ignorant idealogues who'd rather destroy the country than give up an inch of ground, but then it turns out I was wrong about that. So now I fear I'm wrong in thinking Palin hasn't a chance in hell.
ReplyDeleteNevermind, 4:25, I see that you did mention the low number in an earlier part of your post. My apologies.
ReplyDeleteI think hopefully I made it extra clear how low the attendance was, lol.
Norway's attacks... hummm... Could right-wing extremist and suspected terrorist, Anders Behring Breivik, be a palinbot? Seems they do kinda share the same philosophies...
ReplyDeleteRAM, you might want to dust off the ol' blood libel diatribe. In any case, it's about time again to buff up the victim veneer on the Quitter. She's lookin' a bit tarnished.
Go Sarah! DO IT! When's that deadline anyway?
ReplyDeleteABC News has included you on its list of presidential candidates, in spite of simple fact that you have neither expressed that you will run, nor have you filed a candidacy for president. For anything, actually. Any office. Anywhere. You actually don't hold public office of any kind, come to think of it. You're not even a sheriff or a coroner. What do you _do_ exactly, Sarah?
Run, Sarah, run!
@6:49: "But for the life of me, I cannot figure out how you have a dog in the hunt."
ReplyDeleteIf bloggers like Gryphen ignore Palin, she is not going away. The mainstream media will continue to cover her and treat her like a viable, legitimate political figure no matter what she does. So far, the only place that Palin's actual record as governor and issues like her outrageous baby hoax have been covered has been in blogs like this one.
Palin is unfit for office and would be a disaster for this country. She has already played her part in dragging our political discourse down, highjacking the discussion of important issues that affect all of us (e.g. her "death panels" theory). Until her political career is over we all "have a dog in the hunt."
Palin's three year long saga of flirting and winking
ReplyDeleteabout running
has her boxed into a corner.
She's encouraged her dwindling supporters
with false hope in order to keep
the revenue coming in.
Her PAC numbers were appalling on a couple of fronts.
The small amount raised , the profligate and self indulgent spending and the low number of actual contributors.
This should have been an indication to any
sane person ( especially the media ) that she
has flamed completely out.
The media ( left and right ) continues to ignore the empirical evidence that Palin has
no organization and
no widespread national support .
Her last book was not a blockbuster ,
her speaking engagements have dried up and the recent series of bellyflops from
the bus tour to the movie to the dismal
Mall of America turn out
confirm her lack of support.
The latest FOX poll showed that only 12 % of registered Republican voters thought
she had a legitimate chance of
winning a presidential election.
She can't break out of single digits in most polls.
It's mystifying why the media still continues
to promote Palin as a viable candidate when
they know she's not.
The Palins do not appear to be the sharpest knives
in the drawer and they don't attract
the best and the brightest.
It is highly conceivable that they have not managed their financial windfall properly.
At some point , her FOX contract will expire.
Palin needs her mostly elderly and retired supporters
to continue to finance the lifestyle to which she has become accustomed.
If she runs and flops as she will,
they become discouraged
and stop sending her money.
If she doesn't run, they become angry
and stop financing her slush fund aka PAC.
She has only herself to blame
and her options are very limited.
I bet we will see Palin in the not so distant future at some convention selling her autograph or
hawking some type of Palin dolls on QVC.
