EPIC take down of Sarah Palin by Jon Stewart on last night's Daily Show.

  1. This is LOL funny! Jon has always had her number.

  2. The Daily Show was preempted here in Ontario, Canada because of provincial elections. Yes, folks, we do have elections here in socialist Canada, along with our universal health care. Another good point: election campaigns are limited to four weeks. Imagine that. The TV ads stop 24 hours before election day and the signs all have to come down within a day of the election. Back to normal. I was able to see Jon's evisceration of Sarah later on the intertubes and actually found myself cheering as he built up to the big reveal by Bristol back in June. He really is a national treasure.

    Earlier, I enjoyed LOD's smack down of Herb Cain. Now those were "gotcha questions."

    Jon Stewart was beyond awesome....

    Hopefully, the skeletons start falling out of Sarahs closet. I am talking to you Nicole Wallace, Steve Schmidt, Rebecca, Levi, Bristol, Todd....

    Nip it in the bud. I don't want to hear any of this 2016 nonsense.

    And BTW - I think her days with fox are numbered. She has no loyalty and didn't break the news with them first. She's toast!

    The difference between Christy & Palin, no one is going to beg Palin to run. Or keep pestering her to run.

  6. I transcribed the last part (begins 4:20ish) because it's SO perfect, I wanted it in writing. In case I have a chance to share it with some specific acquaintances. :)

    Here it is, in case others can make good use of it!

    Stewart, of SarahPAC benefitting her & her family... "The only way that the little scheme would be dishonorable or shady is if Palin had known all along what her decision was, yet continued to dangle her indecision as a lure, to unsuspecting donors. But how are you gonna prove that? You'd have to find someone close to the operation, perhaps too naive to realize she has inadvertently spilled the beans on, let's say, June 28th..."

    Cut to clip of Fox's Brian Kilmeade: "Do you get the sense that your mom has not made up her mind yet, or do you think she knows and hasn't told us?

    Bristol: "Y'know, she definitely knows, um, we've talked about it before, but, um, some things just need to stay in the family."

    Cut back to Stewart, with a long, delicious pause... "See this kinda takes it out of the self-involved category and puts it into Nigerian prince territory."

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

    Palin yammered about Hank Williams Jr to Hannity last night, and Politico picked it up, and HuffPo carried it from there.

    Yeah, it's trivial. But she is still being given media oxygen. She needs to be Shut Down. She needs to be fully discredited and outed for what she is, and the various powers that be -- political, corporate, media -- need to be exposed for their roles.

  16. Yes, this was Very good.

    But I still URGE y'all to watch
    Martin Bashir's epic takedown of sp when he compares her and Steve Jobs.

    The Daily Show is fun.

    Martin Bashir delivers a scathing analysis of Sarah Palin that EVERY. MEMBER. of the media should have been saying since Day 1 of this nightmare.

    I was so proud when he said that Steve Jobs represented "the very Best of American creativity".

    Yup. This America that feels like we've been kicked around for a long time now. China breathing down our necks. And our education system falling apart.

    But Steve Jobs. American. Innovator.

    Changed how the WORLD communicated. And entertained.

    Changed the lexicon. (iPod, iPad, iPhone, etc.)

    and then there was sarah palin.

    from an also-ran to a never-ran.

    grifter. liar. buffoon. charlatton. venom-spewer.

    Really, I urge you guys to watch it (it's super short too~ I wish it was longer!!)

  25. In the clip with GVS, Palin looks happy when "explaining" why she isn't going to run. If you watch her face closely, there's no sadness for the people who contributed to her, no sadness or even seriousness about why she isn't running. Typical Palin, no remorse for what she does. The GVS video, reminds me of the sheer joy of her smile when she walked away from the podium after her "FU Alaska" speech. She never fails to smile but she rarely shows genuine happiness when she smiles.

    Daring to Dream Again



    I like many of you have gone through the shock, dismay and discouragement of this announcement, but upon further reflection I am now daring to dream again. Could she have realized that it would be nearly impossible to get the GOP nomination with all the behind the scenes manipulation and realized that her path was not through the traditional route (can anyone say, unconventional). At the risk of projecting wildly I will however just proceed anyway, with a smattering of random possibilities.



    One, play the role of Kingmaker and cheerleader and obtain a role like that of Esther (one of her favourite characters in the Bible) who had the ear of the King and as a result was able to spare her people by serving in the pivotal role of a bridge between the people and the King.



    Two, watch how the primary plays out and if a suitable candidate doesn't emerge, which will be known sooner rather than later with the moved up primary schedule (a ploy by the establishment to make sure one of their own is picked), Go Rogue and run third party. Never, in recent times have the public been so discusted with both parties nor trusted their elected officials less.



    Could Breitbart's and/or Bannon's (not sure which) upcoming bombshells have something to do with it? Could some of the information the Palin's have been sitting on, have something to do with it? What role will these big speeches this weekend and next week have to do with it? Wouldn't it be great if the crowds at these events on the weekend break out in spontaneous chants of Run Sarah Run!!!! What about further bus trips for the cause?



    Something tells this is not the end of Sarah's march towards destiny but perhaps just a bend in the road. Furthermore this seems strikingly reminiscient of the days following her resignation of the Governorship of Alaska, when we all crossed the rubicon together. My friends the march forward continues and our Great God is still in control!



    Again just a smattering of random reflections by one who is "Daring to Dream Again."

    It seems one of Sarah's kids wanting independence could score a boatload of cash writing a tell-all that really tells all about Mommy Dearest. Of course, the cash would be diminished as Sarah's light is dimming, but still would be a helluva read. Willow, when she hits 18 would be a likely choice, I get the impression she's the rebel, and of course Piper, but by the time she's 18 old Sarah will be, well, old, and very old news.

    The former Alaska governor described the different standards placed on liberals and conservatives as “pretty disgusting.”

    “It’s a one way street and we’re always walking on eggshells, aren’t we?” she said. “You know, like, oh gees, if I say that is somebody going to misinterpret it or spin it as something that is quote unquote racist or sexist or anything else? But the other side … they can say whatever they want and nobody calls them out on it. I think it’s pretty disgusting.”

    Palin also pointed out that Mike Tyson never apologized to her for the crude comments he made about the governor in an interview last month, in which the former heavyweight champion discussed Palin’s alleged sexual encounter with ex-NBA star Glen Rice using sexually offensive language.

    “What about mike Tyson and the [Las Vegas radio] station that recently came out talking very crudely and some sick comments made? I don’t care that it was about me but some sick comments made and no apology there, no uh, no nothing,” she said. “The hypocrisy shines very bright in what it is that we deal with everyday, doesn’t it, Sean?”

    OT, but I thought this would be an interesting way to protect Alaska State Employees who want to tell their tales regarding Palin.

    Although most of the blogs discuss the importance of HIPAA, they forget that there is another statute that would allow employees to TELL ALL! Has anyone thought about Whistle Blower Protection laws? Some states have such protection for employees who are reporting anything that goes against public policy. Alaska does! Things that go against public policy is a very broad arena. As example, committing fraud by lying about the birth date of a grandson to insurance agencies. Another example would be official documents that were fraudulent. Forgery? Keeping public records, i.e. Governor's emails, from the public would also be considered against public policy. In other words, employees who are aware of any of this can come forward and tell all without fear of retaliation.

    A few different ways Whistle Blower Protection could work in the case of the Palins. If, for example, a sitting governor was trying to commit insurance fraud, state employees with information concerning such fraud could report the fraud and be protected. If higher level supervisors try to cover up the reported fraud, they should be dismissed.

    Alaska has a fairly strong Whistleblower Protection Act... http://www.hainesborough.us/Employee/AK%20Whistleblower.pdf

    Here is the Wikipedia entry on Whistle Blower statutes... A whistleblower is a person who tells the public or someone in authority about alleged dishonest or illegal activities (misconduct) occurring in a government department, a public or private organization, or a company. The alleged misconduct may be classified in many ways; for example, a violation of a law, rule, regulation and/or a direct threat to public interest, such as fraud, health/safety violations, and corruption. Whistleblowers may make their allegations internally (for example, to other people within the accused organization) or externally (to regulators, law enforcement agencies, to the media or to groups concerned with the issues).

    From a former MAJOR panty sniffer. Talk about another smackdown from HER side of the tracks:

    An Open E-mail to Sarah Palin

    ...While you have used the “I don’t need a title to impact change” line before (to justify your politically inexplicable resignation as governor of Alaska), I never figured you would actually try to float that as a last minute reason for not pursuing the most important job in the world. It is hard to believe that even the most crazed of your fans will buy that, but I am sure at least some of the remaining lemmings will.

    Of course, there is no way you actually believe it yourself. First of all, how is this “issue" new information? You mean to tell us that in the last year since you started talking openly about running for president that this never occurred to you before? If it was a decisive factor now, why wasn’t it that way several months ago before you started acting like a candidate? Why did you selfishly put your supporters through the long wait and stunt the process for the actual candidates?

    Secondly, exactly what change have you impacted since resigning from office? Being generous, you raised legitimate questions about a healthcare bill which ended up passing, you may have helped energize a base that assisted in winning back the House, and you were heavily tied to three senate candidates who lost otherwise very winnable races (btw, if “titles” are so unimportant, why did you even bother trying to help those campaigns to begin with?).

    Finally, what change do you think you can possibly “impact” in the future now that everyone knows there is no chance of you ever having real political power and your base of current support is sure to wither away? You do realize (as I warned you about after your resignation) that people/media will stop caring about what you say/write once they know for sure you are never going to be president, right? If you still don’t believe me, just ask any promising athlete whose career is cut down prematurely by injury (as yours was by an unfair kneecapping by the media) how they are treated once a comeback is no longer achievable.

    It is certainly possible that you may not accept this premise because you are under the understandable delusion (thanks to the media’s obsession with you) that you are somehow special and not bound by the same rules which govern mere mortals. After all, if you didn’t think you deserved extraordinary consideration, you would never have had the audacity to even float the idea of a presidential run after resigning office in a way that was clearly designed to get rich and stay famous.

    If this is indeed the case, you are finally in for a rude awakening.


    ...Now that you aren’t running you have made yourself almost totally irrelevant. Unlike with Chris Christie (did you notice how much more passionately the media pined for him than you?), no one with an actual chance will want your endorsement. Once the nominee and the new VP candidate are chosen you will be very old news, and with no elected office ...

    ...I certainly never could have imagined that things would have turned out this way when we met at your house for the most extensive interview you have ever done about the 2008 election. While I don’t regret my efforts to set the record straight about what happened to you, I do wish I had never taken up your cause and made the mistake of thinking you wanted honest and truthful counsel.

    While I have made many mistakes and suffered greatly during this finally ending “Palin chapter” of my life, but at least I sleep well knowing my intentions were always pure. You once stated that in politics you are either eating well or sleeping well. Given the state of your life I wonder...

    Excellent commentary over on the Frum Forum:

    “There have always been grifters in politics. What was important in her story was the revelation of conservatism’s lack of antibodies against somebody with the faults and failings of Sarah Palin.”

    "Conservatism has had a long and ignominious history of destructive, self-righteous phonies. These characters have been welcomed into the inner sanctum because they served the interests of the Republican elite.

    McCain brought in Palin and most of the Republican leadership instinctively defended her to the hilt and slandered any detractor (or questioner) with all manner of lies, insults, and rhetorical filth.

    McCain and his cronies knew Palin was unqualified in every respect. They cared not a whit. “Screw the country, screw the American people, screw our allies, and screw everyone else — we want to win because by winning we will become more powerful and more affluent!!”

    That is what Republicans stood for then and it is what they stand for now. It lies with individuals making callous decisions to deceive, mislead, and betray."

    This is John McCain's legacy 2008-2011.

    "The Palin story was never about Palin. This is what every one of her defenders and every conservative who did not immediately denounce her choice as VP candidate misses.

    The story was and remains about the rank corruption at the head of the McCain campaign for the presidency and all its enablers.

    The man’s first “presidential decision”, and probably the most important, was a stunt. It was a stunt of monumental moment and potentially far-reaching consequence.

    An old man with a tortured body and a weak heart deliberately selects a woman of no consequence, of no intelligence, of minimal accomplishment and full of deep personal liability, so that he could steal a moment away from Obama’s afterconvention glow, so as to enliven his morbid campaign, if not his libido.

    And the establishment went along. And as she spewed poison – let’s not forget “palling around with terroritsts” – and as he campaign decended into a farce, he old goat stood there, stunned, uncomprehending, and yet supportive to the end, and the establishment stood there with him, and egged them on.

    If Bush selected Vader, at least give him credit for recognising organizational talent and ideological discipline, even if at the service of rank evil.

    If the other Bush selected the blond potatoe, at least his own heart was ticking and he was – as he remains – at the prime of his life. And Reagan, for all his shortcomings, had Bush as VP.

    McCain and the Republican Party own this one, and will forever own this one, as one of the darkest, saddest, most cynical moments in modern electioneering since Watergate."

    Palin's lipstick will forever be a smear on the GOP's mug. Let us not forget it.

    How much damage to McCain's presidency and conservative movement do you think Sarah Crazy could have done as his VP if by some fluke he'd won?
    There's a reason the Hillbillies from Wasilla stories came out very quickly after it was all over.

    Palin needed to be marginalized....fast. Her continued popularity continued to be a threat to the party because of the crap they were finding out about her. If they could find out about it, so could Dems. How would that look pulled out at just the right moment?
    Best way to stop someone like her is blackmail. In no uncertain terms. There was absolutely NO WAY Sarah Palin was ever, ever going to run for president.

    The big GOP doesn't muck around for very long with loose canons--let me remind these are seriously connected, wealthy, wealthy people. They had the dirty goods on her a long time ago. Lots of it. They could kill her career in a couple of news cycles. And it got laid out for her a long time ago if she decided to make the very stupid move of trying a run. Instead she's been allowed all this time to string her supporters along. She was taking too long. Make no mistake Roger Ailes, Steve Schmidt & Nicole Wallace was the warning shove to get out....and stay out.

    $100,000 says Palin isn’t elected president in 2012

    Published: 12:05 AM 06/20/2011 | Updated: 10:15 AM 06/21/2011

    On Monday, I gave the many critics of my unfortunate, clear-cut and unapologetic conclusion that Sarah Palin cannot defeat President Obama in 2012 the golden opportunity to put their money where their mouth is. In a column here at The Daily Caller, I offered a $1,000 bet at incredible 100-to-1 odds that Palin would not be elected president in 2012 to the first prominent conservative commentator who responded.

    I predicted that no one would take me up on it because those who were claiming I was wrong were doing so as a political maneuver and not because they really thought I was incorrect in my analysis. Well, technically I was correct, although I think we do have a bet.

    Immediately after the column went live, the highly passionate Palin fan website Conservatives4Palin (founded, ironically, by Palin aide Rebecca Mansour, who told me on the day Palin resigned as governor that she also knew a 2012 run was a non-starter) put up a post...

    It's being said that Sarah Palin is a great self-promoter; that, despite her flaws, one thing she has is great skill at promoting herself.

    What the media doesn't realize, is that it is not a skill with Sarah, but, rather it's her narcissism. HP has an article from Slate on how women could learn something from Sarah because she is efficient at self-promotion.

    No woman I know would want to proceed the way Sarah does; promoting oneself on the basis of inconsistencies, playing games with the press, playing hide and seek with the press, attracting attention just for gratification, running an unconventional pretend campaign, unshackled, no rules, no accountability. All her methods are immature, rebellious and make her look foolish, not professional or presidential.

    It's her narcissism that drives her to use these methods. It's not thought out, or planned. Everything she does is for the moment, reactionary. This is why she's undisciplined, and why she quits. She lives on drama, and her reaction, whether anger or elation, decides.

    Maybe what we need is an organization that rehabilitates P-bots by teaching them use their imaginative gifts in more positive ways - film scripts, airplane books, etc. I mean, look at this from AmsterdamExpat

    This is most likely far-fetched, but (thinking that SP may have spoken in a sort of code when she said that this campaign was going to be "unconventional" -- not to mention other times she seems to have utilized non-verbal signals) I found myself wondering what exactly she meant in speaking of the "shackles" placed on candidates and office-holders, given that we've been hearing that Breitbart might be exposing a very major scandal pertaining to electoral procedures and one which could then result in criminal prosecution of a number of high-level politicians and apparatchiki in both parties. If SP also has gotten word of something imminent of the kind, perhaps when she used the word she was once again sending a quasi-telegraphic message to us?

    There's a germ of a plot in there.... :D

    Hello $arah, Bristol, Todd, Willow, RAM, Adrienne, Jedidiah, et al

    If you listen to John Stewart's video, I don't know how you can deny the FACT that Bristol said on recorded, verifiable national TV that " My mom has already decided"

    That was back in JUNE!!!!

    Let's see, is this October 2011?

    So that would be July, August, and September that you continued to ask your pathetic followers for bigger and bigger contributions, while knowing your weren't running for President.

    But I guess you have to pay the hairdressers, mani/pedi people, first class airfare, 5 star hotel fees, and maintain all your vehicles.

    Oh, I forgot the bus wrap for $11,000 and $3500 to Chuck and Sally for mailing and other work.

    Do you pay the taxes & utilities on the Arizona house from $arahPac?

    I guess that's why some people sold their CD's, stock, and even re-mortgaged their houses to keep you in champagne and crunch wraps.

    $arah, you remind me of another vain, vapid, and feckless diva from the 80's, named Leona Helmsley

    (Bristol and Willow, you can look up those big words like vapid and feckless)

    One really needs to parse Palin's political swan song since it reveals so much about her character. Beyond her penchant for narcissism exists something that has been with her since college; namely, her penchant for quitting. Quitting colleges, quitting the governorship, quitting on people, quitting on her word and now quitting on her base constituency.

    Regardless of what one may think of Palin as a bona fide political candidate for the Republican nomination for president, in the end she's exposed herself for what she actually was, is and always has been: a political poseur. She quit on running because she's essentially a coward. She realizes that she couldn't debate with everyone else who's running (including Bachmann) and were she miraculously to win the nomination, she knows that she'd be skewered by Obama. She is only effective with massaged media and within the corral of her political constituency. Regardless of what she said in her statement, her decision has rendered her effectively effete and, in political terms, irrelevant. To state, as she did, that she didn't need a "title" to be a political activist, is merely political persiflage on her part. The truth is the presidency isn't a title. The chancellor of a university is a title. Having a PhD or an MD gives one a title. By marginalizing the presidency, by calling it a "title" it allows Palin the failsafe escape for which she's always been searching and if one parses her prose, that's patently clear:

    Just came from Barnes & Noble, Grove, Los Angeles. No Rogue on new non-fiction table or bestseller table. I have to go to 3rd floor and ask a clerk, who guides me into the darkest section of the floor--Current Affairs--where she hands me the book. So who's making the decisions there? A bestseller hidden in the stacks. Not far from Christine O'Donnell's "book."

    THAT was great! So many Sarah take-downs now in the news - MSM even! About time....I am enjoying all of them!

    If I had contributed to Sarah PAC, I'd be pretty pissed that she obviously knew a long time ago she was not running yet held out the carrot for her bots for more money.

    It will be "interesting" to see how she spends her fans' contributions: more cosmetic surgery? More legal fees? Another family "vacation?" Payouts to her family and friends to keep them quiet?

    Seriously.....I can't wait to see what's in her latest quarterly report on Sarah PAC expenditures.

    Oh my god, did she really just defend Hank Williams Jr. for calling our President a Nazi? FFS, the victimhood will never end. Please. Lord.* Make. It. Stop.

  70. I loved Jon Stewart's piece as much as anyone, but honestly, guys, Bristol as a reliable source?

    I doubt it. Yes, I think that Sarah deliberately grifted all that money this summer, but not because of something Bristol said. Girl's just not that bright.

    I wonder if there is anyone who loves Sarah enough to tell her that NOW is the time to Sit Down and Shut Up. By not running for president, she thinks she is avoiding all scrutiny about her lies. For the love of all that is holy, does NO ONE in this idiot's life love her enough to tell her to exit stage left--QUIETLY--right now?

    But no, she's still spewing poison out of her big mouth. She just Can't. Shut. Up. And that is why the blogs--and eventually--the msm will be forced to bring her down.


    And in answer to my own question: apparently no one loves her enough to walk her off the stage. How sad.

    Hank Williams was on the stage w/Palin when she ran w/McCain....so, this really should not come as a surprise that she'd defend him.

    She continues to be such a friggin' idiot. I just keep shaking my head....she is dumber than shit!

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

    John Ziegler????!!!

    OOOOOHHHHHH MAN!!

    If you don't know who is he, think "American Elan Frank/Sean Hannity".

    Palin obsessed "filmmaker" who was the ONLY person to film Palin after the '08 election. (You probably don't EVER remember a time where she wasn't everywhere, but this was Pre-Fox).

    I will never forget him showing her the SNL clip of Tina as Palin and Tina says (re: Gay Marriage):

    I believe marriage is reserved for unwilling teenagers.

    ~~~~~~~

    Very funny. But this guy is like, "Would you have gone on SNL if you had KNOWN they were making fun of your children?"

    And of course SP says, "Oh no, no, absolutely not".

    Ridiculous!!

    The joke was about SARAH - not B&L!

    It was OBVIOUS those two were NEVER, EVER getting married, but only THIS way she can play victim.

    And when she WENT ON SNL, didn't AMY Poehler rap about "Drill baby, drill" in the bedroom? ANd sarah was raising her hands to the sky. LOVING every second?

    UGH!! his video is nearly impossible to stomach.

    His review of Sarah, however, was the Tastiest Thing I've read today!!!!!

    Delicious!!!
