Just for fun.
Best description of Sarah Palin EVER!
I was sent this earlier today in an e-mail and thought you all might enjoy the same belly laugh that it gave me.
This image comes to us from the very humorous, and creative minds behind the Democratic Society.
I ask all of you to join me in this. Feel free to take this, modify it, whatever.
Dear Bio Channel,
For many years, I have enjoyed the programming offered by your channel. I loved the in depth profiles showcased on the A&E network and I was thrilled when Bio got its own channel. My family has watched many Bio programs and as a parent I like knowing there are shows which entertain and educate.
Due in part to these reasons, I am shocked to hear that Bio is featuring Bristol Palin on a new show. I do not believe Ms. Palin would have any measure of notoriety were it not for her high profile teenage pregnancy. I sympathize with young mothers having been one myself...the issue is that I would not have put myself up on such a pedestal and therefore implied others should be like me.
In this age of MTV paying teen mothers thousands of dollars to showcase pregnancies and groups of high schoolers getting pregnant "together" as if it were an after school activity, I really do not think it is appropriate to feature Bristol Palin in a reality show. Between her being paid over four hundred thousand dollars for ventures she only was part of due to her teen mother status and now being featured in a new show, why would other young ladies think anything aside from "teen pregnancy sells"?
When you factor in the incidents where Bristol has used racially or socially inappropriate language or gestures, I feel strongly that Bio should not feature Bristol Palin and I believe research on Bio's part would indicate many others feel the same way.
If Bio indeed showcases Ms. Palin in such a manner, I will no longer patronize the Biography network. I enjoy many of your programs and features, but I simply can't abide building an entire show around an individual who would not be known to the public were it not for a teenage pregnancy upon which she has already made half a million dollars.
At some point, someone needs to say "enough". I sincerely hope the Biography network will stand up and say "we made a mistake. We will not be featuring Bristol Palin as the center of any Bio program".
Most sincerely, [my name]

Anyone want to wager how long it'll be before BristolBot tells me this is sooo, idk, immature???
Sarah hasn't drawn a crowd forever. There were the three people at her book signing and her thing with Beck was a total dud; the only thing she has left to fall back on are woman's conferences--She is the new Tammy Baker (she is even starting to look like her).
Maybe now the media will write about her bombastic behavior in the Entertainment section . I have always felt that this Urban Dictionary definition fit her behavior best . diva ;
a bitchy woman that must have her way exactly, or no way at all. often rude and belittles people, believes that everyone is beneath her and thinks that she is so much more loved than what she really is. selfish, spoiled, and overly dramatic.
Sarah Palin Was Disappointed In GOP Debate Bickering, Crowns Gingrich Winner
Is Sarah Palin starting to get tired of American politics? The sometime former potential presidential candidate delivered her post-CNN debate roundup to Greta Van Susteren today and seemed entirely dismayed by the “bickering” and question-avoiding she saw from the candidates. Noting that Newt Gingrich was the most substantive in her eyes, she crowned him the winner, and lamented the kid gloves the mainstream media seemed to be using with Republican candidates. Wait, what?
Yes, now that Palin no longer has much to lose in the political arena, moderators like Anderson Cooper and Brian Williams seem to be treating the Republican candidates too soft. She told Van Susteren she was dismayed that “they get to escape answering questions” and while “we need to have these candidates vetted,” that required more concrete plans and hard-hitting questions.
Ultimately, tonight Palin concluded that “we are looking for a candidate to show us what their plan is… we didn’t get that out of this debate.” While, yes, Gingrich did the best job, that was only because he kept himself above the bickering, she said, comparing the bickering of the other candidates to the yelling of her children as they walk into the door from school (being in Wasilla, Palin is, of course, several hours behind, so the debate coincided with her children returning from school). Of course, her disappointment only leaves open a glaring question: would having Palin on the stage have eliminated much of the crosstalk and incoherent shouting we go tonight? America will never know.
Here is a link to a Hardball segment that people should see. It is an eye opener exposing Romney on foreclosures and what he would do.
"Don't stop the foreclosure process. Let it run it's course and hit bottom."
So let's foreclose on people faster, sell the houses to investors, rent them first, fix them on the renter's dime, sell them and kick the renters out or screw the renters into another crap mortgage.
Isn't that special. Romney - Bought and paid for by Wall Street
The Jews could be put down very plausibly as the most unpleasant race ever heard of. As commonly encountered, they lack many of the qualities that mark the civilized man: courage, dignity, incorruptibility, ease, confidence. They have vanity without pride, voluptuousness without taste, and learning without wisdom. Their fortitude, such as it is, is wasted upon puerile objects, and their charity is mainly a form of display.
Wow. Nice face Sarah. One would think that perhaps she (she being Mrs. P) would try really hard not to look like that when she's out, well, I was going to write, "giving a speech" but I think perhaps, "serving up a gargantuan bowl of word-salad" might be more appropriate. I'm sure she sees all of the photos that have been captured from videos. I'm totally assuming they're not photo-shopped and she actually does make all those crazy-a** faces during the course of one of her tossed-herbivore-dishes. If it was me, I'd be trying really hard to always have a smile on my face. And then there's that whole thing my mom used to say..."don't do that with your face, it might end up staying that way!!!" Now wouldn't that be a hoot??????
I did a cursory perusal of that site and found it quite entertaining and eligtening! Love their take on Anita Perry's public breakdown. And the cartoons and graphics are pure gold!
Gee, I missed the Bard of Wasilla on GVS, let me guess

H.L. Mencken
Great guy, huh, Gryphen?
7:52 PM
--------------
Mencken was famous for his support of Atheism, so pretty much anything that he said is not going to resonate with anyone with any religious belief.
Anon @ 7:52, So, which of the GOP fucktards are YOU supporting?
Mencken's anti-Semitism should not be excused, but does that mean that ALL of his writings should be banished?
Winston Churchill was a great leader, a damn good writer, a genuine wit, and racist as hell toward the Indian people. Should we therefore consign ALL of his other thoughts to the dustbin of history?
"She told Van Susteren she was dismayed that 'they get to escape answering questions' and while 'we need to have these candidates vetted,' that required more concrete plans and hard-hitting questions."
Palin just erased any chance she ever had of running for office again, ever again, forever and ever Amen. She just took her single arrow out of her quiver, the "I'm a victim of the mean, liberal, lamestream media" arrow that she has shot about 200 times already.
Now, if she ever DID try to run, the first time she tries to dodge a question from the press, she will get quoted from her GVS appearance last night.
I think that at this moment, she is truly irrelevant and of absolutely no consequence whatsoever in national politics. The only real barrier to the official signing of her political death certificate is her gig on FauxNews. The moment that goes away, she is irrevocably, certifiably, most totally DOA.
These embarrassing FauxNews performances of late can't be helping her cause with Murdoch or Ailes. She cannot be of any use to them any longer, at all. She is not respected either in or out of the GOP and she is increasingly little more than an international laughingstock. Murdoch and Ailes already are looking at a giant shit sandwich on their plate. Why would they want to go and put a great big ol' Palin turd on to top off their impending not-so-happy meal?
She is little more than a very bizarre and embarrassing footnote to our national history.
I haven't been over to c4p, but I'm sure they are finding some arcane meaning to Palin's performance that signals she's willing to run if they pray hard enough. Whoa is me. If she doesn't run, the world will come to an end.
If he were alive in August 2008 and up to today, Mencken would have had a field day with Palin. He would have called her out before McCain would have known what hit him.
And that's what's wrong with the "Lame"SM these days, just a handful called her out. Yet if more of them had the balls that he had, then we'd never have had to live through 3 years worth of Sarah Palin's shiet.
About those "Jews" -- From Wiki-- "On the other hand he came to view Adolf Hitler as a buffoon, and once compared him to a common Ku Klux Klan member.[34]
The progressive writer Gore Vidal defended Mencken:
"Far from being an anti-Semite, Mencken was one of the first journalists to denounce the persecution of the Jews in Germany at a time when the New York Times, say, was notoriously reticent."
On November 27, 1938, Mencken writes (Baltimore Sun), "It is to be hoped that the poor Jews now being robbed and mauled in Germany will not take too seriously the plans of various politicians to rescue them." He then reviews the various schemes to "rescue" the Jews from the Nazis, who had not yet announced their own final solution.[35]
As Hitler gradually conquered Europe, Mencken attacked President Franklin D. Roosevelt for refusing to admit Jewish refugees into the United States:
"There is only one way to help the fugitives, and that is to find places for them in a country in which they can really live. Why shouldn't the United States take in a couple hundred thousand of them, or even all of them?" -------------
And you really don't want to hear what he had to say about WASPS and I don't mean the flying insect kind either. No, he was referring to the "Anglo-Saxons."
You hear that, Sarah? You should know ALL about escaping questions and not being properly vetted, now shouldn't you?
You ARE toast, and if your narcisstic, sociopathic self just HAS to jump back in, whether now or down the road, there's PLENTY of people in the "know" that will be all over you. You're DONE, and those poorly concealed bags under your eyes assure me you know it.
Thanks for the link to Seniors for a Democratic Society, Jesse. I've never seen it before, and it's great. That will definitely be on my list of places to go on a regular basis.
Just saw the babbler in chief on Greta. She is still a hoot to watch.

ReplyDeleteShe looks like "Rupert" (Steve Martin character) in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels - the part when he was peeing/crapping his pants at the dinner table.

Check out the make-up "tried to be concealed" bags under her eyes on GVS. Another dirty wig. Another "Charlie Brown teacher" spew.
ReplyDeleteI have never in my LIFE seen someone SO clueless, SO desperate, to matter.
Wow she looked haggard on Greta.
ReplyDeleteWow. Nice face Sarah.
