Sarah Palin presents flute playing as a metaphor to explain how she approaches politics.


In my opinion this video of the future Grizzled Mama, massacring a flute solo during her failed attempt in 1984 to win the crown of Miss Alaska, provides just about everything one needs to know about Sarah Palin the "politician" of today.

It does not take anybody with a great knowledge of music to recognize that this is somebody who simply did NOT put in the time to really master her instrument.  Much like the Palin of today, who NEVER really puts in the hard work to understand the issues that she is expected to know about as a potential Presidential candidate.

It also painfully evident that little Sarah Heath is not disciplined enough to play the proper notes at the proper time. Instead she goes all "mavericky" and plays any damn note she pleases, while assuming that the much louder music accompanying her will drown out any mistakes.  Of course this is much like how Palin makes ridiculous statements on Fox News while expecting Hannity, or one of the other paid arbiters of misinformation, to polish it up to look like a pearl of wisdom instead of yet another intelligence free moose nugget. 

After she finishes Sarah Louise stands swaying unsteadily (Which in her church I believe was referred to as "Dirty Dancing.") to the background music, while staring out at the audience with her wonky eye and daring them to say anything negative.  If they had, just like today, she would have written down their names and made it her mission to destroy each and every one of them.

You know I have done some research and I understand that this was in fact Sarah Heath's THIRD choice for the talent portion of the beauty contest.  The first two choices were "butchering the English language" and "faking a pregnancy." However when the all male judging panel asked her when she first became interested in the flute and she started her explanation with "You know this one time at band camp.."

The rest, as they say, is history.

Later of course Palin would work to master two entirely new talents, "hair design through electrocution" and  the "art of the glassy eyed hypnotic stare." 


But sadly Sister Sarah's days as an empty headed, marginally attractive, beauty contestant were over. And she later went on to become an empty headed, marginally attractive, political contestant.

P.S. Hey you know maybe Bristol WAS right that Michele Bachmann is stealing her mom's look.


Wow!  That is just freaky!

  10. Oh, my, lord. Yanno, I thought she started out okay, but then she lost it in the middle section and never came back.

    Her eyes. Ohmygosh. You can see the crazy in the eyes from not only that far away, but in the fuzzy video it comes across...

    ReplyDelete
  11. You know what it reminds me of? Bristol's DWTS gig, wherein she has minimal talent, but is carried along by the music, the costumes, her partner, and the fuss and feather of being on a stage.....Sarah displays talent at being able to blow into a flute (not a small feat) and to make several notes throughout that correspond to the backround music that carries her performance. She could almost have just stood there with the musical accompaniment and just pretended to play the flute, and she would have come out almost the same.

    As for the wonky eyes, I must say she really cannot help that; my daughter started displaying strabismus at age 3, and even with patching for the past 4 years, she still is somewhat crossed-eyed without her glasses. With glasses, however, her eyes look normal. Her opthalmologist does not recommend surgery as she is corrected with glasses. Now that she is 7, no further patching is warranted, since from thence, a child's brain and optic system is pretty much set. She will, however, most probably need glasses for the rest of her life. So, in this one small thing, I am sympathetic to SP.

    That is SUCH a riot. HILARIOUS.

    I had never listened to this tape before. She sounds perhaps 5th grade level by today's standards, and I speak as a musician. She would be considered weak at that level, even. Maybe this is more like a typical 3rd grader, in many school districts of the US where they have been fortunate enough to hold on to a music education curriculum. I am not saying that would be true everywhere.

    Most kids are WAY beyond this playing level by the age she is in this contest, particularly after 10 years of playing an instrument - even if they haven't taken private lessons but have just been involved in school band activities and group instruction. She had to try hard NOT to improve, I am telling you.

    The funniest part is her deer-in- the-headlights facial expression.

    I am still laughing.

    Yes, a good metaphor for her, Gryphen. Can you say half-assed?

    Be safe and take precautions if you are in the path of Hurricane Irene.

    Remember, if Palin, Bachman, or Perry get the Presidency, there won't be any emergency help because they want to minimize government involvement in our lives.

    Thank goodness for saner people such as President Obama. He sounds as if he is on top of this emergency. He may not be known for playing a musical instrument, but he sure knows how to be serious when it comes to helping people.

    Poor Sarah. I imagine a young Sarah staring at her reflection in the mirror, and like all young women struggling to accept herself, be comfortable in her own skin, before turning to go out and face the challenges and opportunities the world would offer...

    Nah. She put on glasses she didn't need to hide that wonky eye, piled that hair up in a tousled just-bedded look, pushed her boobage up and out, and otherwise wriggled, winked, jiggled and teased her way past every expectation of competence, achievement, talent or even simple effort. And developed a similarly robust suite of revenge skills for everyone who got in her way.

    Glenn Beck Flips Out Because Government Is Going To Help Irene Victims

    ...Glenn Beck and his ilk may hate the government, but if he is a victim of a crime he expects the police to show up when he calls. If his house catches on fire, he expects the fire department to put it out. If his the town he lives in floods, and puts him in a situation where all of his money is worthless, do you really think that he or is family will care whether the people rescuing them are public or private?

    The biggest hole in the no federal disaster aid should ever be administered argument is that it doesn’t acknowledge that disasters will occur that are too large for the private sector to handle. Yes, we all should be good neighbors in a time of crisis, but what happens when the disaster is big that all the good neighbors in our country can’t cope with it?

    As a major hurricane barrels towards the United States, Glenn Beck is advocating that we don’t use the government to help the victims. Beck is saying that these victims have to hope that enough private aid can be raised and it can be provided to them.

    This callous and ideological attitude of Glenn Beck should strike most Americans and un-American. If history is any sort of guide, Hurricane Irene is going to damage, destroy, injure, and kill when it arrives in this
    country. This debate isn’t about big government versus small government, or public versus private. It is about doing what is right.

    Glenn Beck is outraged, but fortunately for those in the path of Hurricane Irene, the federal government is already waiting to help them.

    I noticed the accompaniment music got much louder when she was floundering- presumably to cover up her lack of talent. The few bars she did play ok were the very easy refrain. She is no musician, but then the talent section in beauty pageants is always a hoot. Looked like a scene from the hilarious 1999 movie, "Drop Dead Gorgeous" starring Kirsten Dunst, Denise Richards, and Ellen Barkin.

  47. oh my gosh that was HORRIBLE. Incredibly easy piece, poor tone quality, and did she even tune that thing before playing?!

    My 20 years of musical training have not included one single second of formal flute work, but give me a flute and a day or so to brush up and I could play better than that...

    I realize that $arah is pretty damn dumb, but could someone please look into the claim that she had ten years of experience?? It's hard to imagine ANYone could play even slightly consistently for 10 years and still be that bad. I note that the announcer words it very carefully ("performing experience" could be taken in many ways), and I doubt it's really true in any capacity. Still, it'd be entertaining to shoot down yet another one of her pointless lies made in a pathetic (and failed) attempt to get ahead...

    67% of Voters Say They Would Never Vote for Sarah Palin

    A little more than week before Sarah Palin’s tea party event in Iowa, a new Pew poll has found that 67% of voters would never vote for Palin.

    The Pew poll asked voters which Republican candidates they were most likely to vote for. Mitt Romney was the leader with those who knew him with 54% of those asked saying that they would (16%) or there was some chance (38%) that he would get their vote. Rick Perry was second at 47%, but an equal 47% said there was no chance that they would support the Texas governor. Ron Paul (42%) and Michele Bachmann (39%) both got lesser support.

    Sarah Palin has the highest name recognition of any of the Republicans (97%), but only 13% of those polled said that there was a good chance that they would vote for her, and 19% said that there was some chance that they would support her. (That 19% is the lowest number in the entire GOP field. For the sake of contrast 25% said that there is some chance that they could support Jon Huntsman, and 23% said they might be able to support Newt Gingrich).

    Among only registered Republican voters, and Republican leaning Independents 24% said that there was a good chance that they would support Sarah Palin, and 34% said there was some chance. However, 41% of REPUBLICANS and Republican leaners said that there was no chance that they would support Sarah Palin. In contrast, only 17 Republican voters said that there was no chance they would support Rick Perry, and only 21% said there was no chance that they would support Mitt Romney. Sarah Palin’s 58% possible support is 19 points behind Perry, and 17 points behind Mitt Romney.

    In short, Palin has virtually no chance of winning the nomination. She has over three times more Republicans who refuse to support her than will vote for her. A 2012 run by Sarah Palin would be a dead end. It is fast track ticket to failed presidential candidate oblivion.

    Palin is doing all the right things to keep the speculation alive. She went to the Iowa State Fair. She released a campaign like video of her Iowa trip. She has played coy on Fox News and continued her feud with Karl Rove. In the end, all of these gestures mean nothing because 67% of the American people will never vote for her.

    As her September 3rd gig in Iowa approaches, many in the media will be sucked in by the slow news holiday weekend and cover the will she or won’t she question with undeserving seriousness. The truth is that it doesn’t matter whether she does or doesn’t.

    America has made the decision for her, and if Sarah Palin can’t take a hint, voters will deliver their rebuke of her personally at the polls in 2012.

  69. Thank you to some of your bloggers for their voice of safety during the hurricane. I am on the Outerbanks and although prepared, my partner, my 4 dogs and myself are feeling intimidated. You are right about Palin, Bachmann and Perry. Imagine, they would suggest just praying our way through it.

    Personally I am so grateful for highly educated scientists who are keeping us updated on the progress and the threat of this storm. You know little things like tracking the storm's progress to keep people safe. This is probably a step above, well, "praying about it". Ya think????????? Imagine that mess. Further, thank goodness they are not graduates of Oral Roberts University. Law enforcement officials are relying on science as well. Some of them may vote for crazy Michele Bachmann or lunatic Rick Perry as the two of them would would just tell the police to keep bibles in their cars. The low IQ want that sort of thing. A bible in the car is about as high as they can go with the process of thought, and then......well.... they're comfortable.

    What about government's role in this emergency. How come these republican govenors, in states which are vulnerable, are being so quick as to declare a state of emergency before the storm is even here? It wouldn't be to get in line for government handouts after the storm so their constituents think they are doing "a heck of a job brownie", would it?? Aren't they against government spending?????? If Michele Bachmann were president, she would have dismantled every federal agency by now so nobody would know anything or be able to do anything to help anybody. She and Perry would tell us to pray. Isn't that easy?

    I wanted to comment on Sarah's flute playing and I got carried away on the storm. She is being herself here, deeply deceptive regarding her ability to play so she has arranged to have the overwhelming accompanyment drowning her out. This woman is always hiding. If we are supposed to listen to her mastery of the flute, (and that was some intro, I was expecting the beauty of her playing to bring me to tears), why was she allowed any accompanyment at all? Thanks to the musician who told of her less than 5th grade ability here. I guess if Alaskans are told this is a significantly accomplished musician they wouldn't know the difference. So, so very ironic......it truly is laughable.......

    I realize that is an actual song, but as anyone who's ever payed an instrument can notice - it's like she's playing scales. she's playing the same thing over and over and over. did she really think that this example displayed talent? it totally figures that the quitter would choose the easiest possible way out.

    Sarah's been surrounded all her life by enablers, or worse, so no surprise that some poor troll with latent co-dependency issues comes to her defense.

    I used to think it was maybe a sister or cousin, but now I think it's just a troll who has dealt with someone like Sarah in his/her own life: too crazy, too mean and hateful, who holds a grudge and has adopted the victimization profile as both a lifelong coping and manipulation strategy.

    In what world does Sarah deserve the sympathy of these poor schmucks? A parallel universe in which Sarah has not single-handedly and with gleeful malice inflicted pain, suffering and shame on everyone who ever crossed her.

    She's both crippled and taken hostages in her own immediate family circle. And still wannabes clamor to be taken hostage too. Unbelievable.

    Like Sarah Palin, I too am a flautist (cough, cough), except, in my case, I really am a flautist (or flutist, depending on your preferences).

    Sarah does a few things right: she is holding the flute parallel to the floor which is good, for example. On the other hand, her pinky finger is being held way too high. Fingers should never be more than a hair away from the keys without actually touching them - especially if it is an open-hole flute (rather than the closed hole student models). The really big problems are that her sound is not supported (guess she did not have her tight abs at that point as sound is supported from the diaphragm); she did not warm up her instrument just prior to playing (which is one reason why she started to go off key part way through); she rolled the flute to accommodate the higher octave (another reason for going off key); and she was rushing the accompaniment (she has no rhythm). She could probably have been a decent flute player with a little discipline.

    Having that video out there has got to be embarrassing. Geesh.

    I played flute in high school. Granted, I wasn't very good, but good enough to know that this is a beginning level song. She isn't too bad at the start of the song, but it quickly becomes bad and off-tune and stays there until the end of the song.

    It was hard to focus on the song given her crossed eyes throughout the entire song. People had always talked about her crossed eyes, but I can't say that I noticed them. This video nailed it. It was really obvious.

    The difference between most other people and Sarah is that most others recognize when they not have enough talent to parade themselves on a stage and be filmed for prosperity.

    "If she weren't approached to earn school money, I'm sure she would have continued to waitress and fish to pay her way. What's she supposed to do in the talent portion, stand there?"

    She should know enough to say "No."
    Evidently she believed that her talent was strong enough to allow her to win - otherwise why do it? If you are going to put it out there expect reaction (good or bad) to your performance. It's as simple as that.

She did rather well in these pageants.

    When she speaks about it now, she does so grudgingly because that's probably not really who she is. Cmon, a tomboy thrown into the ring for a bit of money? Yeah, ok. Fish out of water. I'm shocked she didn't fall.

  113. I see that a couple of people have become incensed at my pointing out that Palin was a "wonky" eye.

    The only reason that I am pointing the eye out is because I am of the opinion that Palin wears the glasses, that she does not need due to Lasik surgery, in order to distract from her eye.

    However when confronted about the glasses, the excuse provided was "they made her look smarter," which in of itself is pathetic. But what is more pathetic is that even THAT was a lie to cover for the first lie of the glasses themselves.

    I'm sorry but when somebody creates multiple layers of misinformation to cover for a cosmetic problem, while becoming famous mostly for their appearance, that makes the cosmetic problem fair game.

    You are mistaken. Mozart LOVED the flute and wrote much music for it. He left us two flute concertos (one a rearrangement of an oboe concerto, an "Andante" and a divinely beautiful "Concerto for Flute & Harp." Check the Koechel catalogue of his works for verification.

    Mozart DID write a "Concerto for Trumpet" early very early is life, but it is now lost. (Mebbe he destroyed it!)He hated the trumpet; said it caused him pain. He used it sparingly, VERY sparingly, in his orchestral music. One notable exception is the atmospheric "Turkish" music in his opera, "The Abduction From The Seraglio."

When they are little, their parents are super supportive and yell "good job" and clap for every single thing they do, whether they did it well or not. The kid grows up thinking that every single thing they do is a masterpiece. The problem is that as adults they are awful to have in the workplace because they do a half-assed job, what they do complete is crap and they can't figure out why no one yells "good job" at them.

    I think I shit my pants a little bit at about the 1.38 mark.

    Sarah doesn't look 57.

    seriously, she doesn't. That statement is actually an insult to 57 year olds.. She looks even older.

    for comparison check out "20 Most Beautiful Women Over 50" on youtube. Sure, some of them have had plastic surgery, but so has Scarah.

    In this video, when she is done playing, she steps back and she is beaming like she just completed the most beautiful piece of music and is waiting for everyone to yell "good job" even though it is at 5th grade level and very poorly done.

    I agree. This is the way SP was raised. She's "special needs" so exceptions were made for her. Surely, it was amazing that she accomplished anything at all. But, OTOH, she's had daddy dear and Hawt Toddy to carry her along and sing her praises.

    The way she fell apart when she was not allowed to give her 'fire in the belly' speech when McCain lost was very bizarre. She cried like a baby, blubbering everywhere while Daddy held her and stroked her.

    It's not good to tell children (in this case SP) that everything she does is exceptional.

    Her flute talent was non-existent. I'm embarrassed for her. She should have memorized Heart & Soul on the piano, it probably would have sounded better and wouldn't need to be drowned out. Or maybe not.

    Hate to tell you, I am pretty sure she was playing to a music-minus-one tape. No orchestra, no ensemble accompanying her.

    Still completely lame.

    That video is funny. So funny even Sarah would laugh.

    Growing up, Sarah Palin constantly needed special attention and she got this at the Iowa Fair, the Palin family vacation bus tour and every where people stroked her ego, Special Needs Sarah was in 7th Heaven... She soaked that stuff right up.

    However as governor, her office wasn't filled with retards filling up Special Needs Sarah big ego and it was not fun. That is why Special Needs Sarah was not a good mom and does not want to stay home to raise, educate or keep her daughters from being the town whores because only Todd and Trig are at home and they were not praising Special Needs Sarah the way she needs it.

    So sad, 59 year old Sarah Palin is still battling "I Need Constant Worship and Attention Syndrome".

    All that money and you would think Sarah would be happy with life and she is not because money can't buy her happiness.

    Only people lined up to see her makes Special Needs Sarah happy, not her family.

    Anon 10:35. Perhaps you did not play an instrument. For those who have we recognize Palin or anyone who did not even fairly master a song before performing it in public and in a talent competition. Palin did play the same simple part over and over worse the longer she played.

    Personally, I admit after one year of learning clarinet in school band in 4th grade I played like Palin. I did not apply myself nor practice regularly.

    Palin had herself introduced as an accomplished clarify of ten years. That is why this is funny or pitiful.

    There is a grandiosity gap between the reality of Palin and her self definition.

    With respect to the Flute solo; it was bad. I have heard way worse. She did perform a very easy piece, she played the notes, it was out of tune in many places. Essentially what I would expect from a talentless person that stayed in band, and later decided she needed a talent and dribbling a basketball would not do.

    She remains unfit for office. It shouldn't count, but if you want it to, add 'sucky flute player' to the mix. I won't even call her a 'flautist', she doesn't come close.

    I also think Palin's parents probably heaped excessive praise or actual distortions of factual reality on her.

    My ex's mother would blather false claims about her child, self that were disconnected from reality.

    I observe Sarah does the same with her kids. Offspring learn to grandiosely overinflate their existence habitually lying.

    To the fairy tale troll: hmm... Beautiful without makeup post implants, a new chin, injected lips. How dare you state few people are pretty?

    I can't hold back: that Bristol did not bust her ass during DWTS. The Palin's are F'ing clue less what working hard is. Just showing up is huge to Narcissists.

    The woman's looks and musical talents should be the least of our worries. She has gathered together a following of people who worship her with a blind faith in her ability to lead this great country. That is what bothers me the most. She will never be elected President but she can and will continue to make speeches filled with hateful rhetoric against the leaders of this country. That seems to be her power and she uses it well. She constantly "brags" about praying but what does that really mean to us? I pray all the time but not for my own needs and I don't have a need to tell people that praying is important in my life. Her followers admire her large family and her devotion to them. I have a large family myself and my devotion to them means that I put my needs last and theirs first. At times I feel sorry for her but most of the time I just want her to decide whether she is going to an angry voice for a political party or a devoted wife and mother. In my eyes, these roles are polar opposites. If she chooses the angry voice role, fine by me but I hope she quits dragging those children into the spotlight and then complaining when that bright light focuses on them.
