Palin-bots form support groups to help each other get over disappointment that their idol quit on them yet again.

Courtesy of ABC News:

Sarah Palin’s most passionate supporters held an online forum today to assess what they should do going forward, now that the former Alaska governor has announced she won’t enter the GOP 2012 field. 

Participants of the forum, called Grizzlyfest, came together for three hours to praise Palin, plot how they will continue their grassroots political organizing in 2012, and how they will choose 2012 candidates after Palin stunned the group last month when she announced she would not seek the GOP nomination. The running theme of the event was that despite their chosen candidate’s decision, they will stay active in conservative politics. 

Josh Painter, who runs the blog Texans for Sarah Palin, acknowledged that many supporters he knew were still “coming out of shock” at Palin’s decision, but that Grizzlyfest was an “excellent opportunity” to assess “where we are and where we are going.” 

The forum at times sounded like a support group aimed at re-energizing the group who had devoted so much time to supporting Palin — some even moving to early states to campaign for the non-candidate — convinced she would run for president.

Wow, that is just sad. 

But what can I say? We tried to tell these morons what was about to happen to them, and in response they called us "haters" and told us "You'll see, when she announces YOU will be the ones eating your words!"

Uh huh. Well you just can't help some people.

Anyhow I took dip in the Sea O'Pee for the first time in a month or so, just to see how this "Grizzlyfest" thing came off, and stumbled onto this bit of comedy gold:

We just wanted everyone to know that Governor Palin tried really hard to call into the Grizzly Fest Summit today. Unfortunately, there is an issue with Blog Talk Radio that we didn’t know about previously. Alaskans cannot get through to Blog Talk Radio shows (which is the format we used for Grizzly Fest) using the normal line that those of us in the lower-48 use. Due to technical difficulties, Governor Palin was unable to join us but it wasn’t for lack of trying. As I said, she did try and for a long time I might add. Please note that we were able to talk to Chuck Heath Jr. in Alaska because we called him. 

To those of you who asked whether Governor Palin was the “mystery guest” for the third hour, you are correct. That was who we were waiting for to wrap up the summit.

I'm sorry what?  The "Blog Talk Radio" cannot be used by Alaskans?  Well isn't that a rather ironic coincidence?

Not to be a skeptic, but if they could call Chuck Jr. why could they not have also called the Palin household? And if she has not deigned them important enough to share her home number with them, couldn't Chuck have called on their behalf? He is her brother after all.

Because, and once again trying not to be a skeptic here, it kind of sounds like she blew them off, like she has blown off so many before them, and they are just making excuses to cover up for the fact that she considers them insignificant annoyances that she no longer has any use for.

As a matter of fact, I would be willing to bet that she actually spends more time monitoring THIS blog, then she ever spends visiting the Sea O'Pee.

I mean let's be serious, if you are REALLY talking about "defunct" websites, then I think the Sea O'Pee certainly meets that criteria. Don't you agree?
