Doonesbury illustrates exactly where Palin-bots should put their hopes for a Sarah Palin comeback. In the trash.

Sam decides to grow up and stop playing pretend.

Which includes ridding herself of the most manipulative and false fantasy object of all. Her Sarah Palin doll.

You can read more great Doonesbury strips here.
Sometimes Garry Trudeau just sums up a situation in way that is virtually perfect.

I imagine that this is directed at you Palin-bots.  It is clearly time to move on and leave behind your childish fantasies.

And really, could anything else have been MORE childish?

    Hey Gryphen,

    Sorry to threadjack, but I can't email you, and really think you need to do a post on what this. Like American fundagelicals and the hierarchy of the RCC, these folks are no better and just as misogynist as the Taliban (I bet $carah didn't visit these guys in Israel, did she?)

    I'm pretty sure that Sara's power is fading fast since the strip seems to have not been pulled or censored. She is really pretty much yesterday, even her time in the headlines when she gets there goes stale pretty fast. She's more now like a slow motion train wreck, we watch because we want to see the final impact.

    I wonder why she didn't weigh in on Tbone's interception day? Maybe he called her and told her to bugger off with the compliments?

    And I don't suppose there's been an endless parade of GOP candidates knocking on Sara's door looking for her endorsement? Funny we should have been hearing about it.

    Scarah mocked the President's Christmas card, yet she does not even have one. What kind of Christian is she? Where are all the photos of the Palin's "large, loving, happy, busy family" enjoying their gifts, or meal? Did they even get together over the holidays, or were they scattered all over the country?

    He should do a strip about the Palin family goal of money lust.

    "Palin Money Lust" was clearly described and detailed in Bristol's facebook rant, when she said, "I made more money last night then you will all year"

    Bristol.. the easy money train for you, mom and the rest of your family is ending soon.

    You know? I've said it before...

    Had Sarah just been a decent person when she first appeared on the national stage - she'd be beloved by many, many ppl right now - instead of only a few crazies among the tinfoil-hat crowd.

    But she had (and has) being a tough politician confused with being a hateful bitch.

    I mean really, Sarah...

    Hi Gryphen and everyone!

    I probably spend about an hour here each day and I feel like I am among friends. Honestly, I think my addiction to this site affected my concentration on my graduate studies this past semester... I have resolved to be more disciplined and check in only AFTER my work is done!

    This is OT but I know a lot of people have mentioned Elizabeth Warren and I wanted to let them know that she is reaching out for donations, if anyone can help her out I would appreciate it. As a MA resident there is nothing I want more than to take out Scott Brown.
    Here's the link. And thanks again from a Yankee and a self-employed filmmaker/student.

    Happy New Year Sara. You probably think 2012 can't be any worse than 2011 don't you? The gloves are off and you are rapidly becoming a complete and utter laughingstock. It ain't gettin any better next year lady. And I use that term lightly. How's that search for Tri-G's BC coming? Going to show it to the world one of these days? Is Mercedes starting to lift the rock a little with her FB comment about Trip and Trip? Hmmm, better get the goons over and muzzle her again. I think the Johnston's are getting some stones and you really need them to keep quiet. Wonder if the tinfoils who supported you because you were such a noble mom to carry and DS child and raise it so selflessly might be looking at class action to recover their donations from your fraud? Hmmm

  18. I am looking forward to seeing if the Republican nominee, probably Willard, invites the half term governor to speak at the convention. Her speaking would embarrass the candidate as he attempts to move to the center for the general election, but yet she will become apoplectic if not invited. It could be amusing.

    And there's the truth, Randall (7:29AM). The hatred, jealousy, and pettiness was put out there for all to see from day ONE. It's still prevalent in trolls here and their lame attempt of projecting it onto us because we did our homework and know the truth behind their game.

    The "loving family" brought this ALL on themselves and have no one to blame BUT themselves. The name PALIN is now an international joke and an endorsement of any kind is a kiss of death.

    Hallelujah!

    7:00 am, Bristol posted a picture of Tripp on her public facebook in front of what I assume is the Palin family tree which has a butt load of presents under it. Obviously spewing hateful rhetoric pays well.

    7:30 I think the blog is SarahPalinandCommonDecency.blogspot.com, but I am not sure.

    Sarah, you didn't have the guts or the credentials necessary to put your licked finger in the wind to test the political winds in your favor for a POTUS run.

    Instead you encouraged yet still passively participated in your fantastical homage to your 30 seconds of "chief executive'ing" of a smally populated State. And pulled off these bizarre publicity stunts touring the country ringin those bells - stepping on non-dithering declared candidates seeking the GOP Primary win.

    You wanted millions to pour more money into you and BEG your 'servants heart' into running.

    It didn't happen. And you blamed your fear of further humiliation in running on God. Family and country.

    No wonder you sharpie'd Country First out, cause it's Sarah First.

    You are defeated. You are a loser. And we normally couldn't care less were you a decent person and not a hateful hag.

    The fairytale Palinbot's creepy blog is "sarah palin and common decency" (I'm choking on laughter right now).

    The fairytale Palinbot suggests that she knows the Palins, but it's pretty clear she does not.

    Oh, maybe she trekked up to Alaska a few times, maybe she even got to shake Sarah Palin's hand, but she doesn't know them. Yet she posts countless photos of the family, ones that I haven't come across before. Where does the fairytale Palinbot get those photos? Does she have an acquaintance who knows the Palins or the Heaths? Has she become friends with them through Facebook.

    If I were the Palins, I'd have the fairytale Palinbot on a watch list for potentially dangerous stalkers. Everyone knows that #1 Fans can be the first to turn on you.

    Of course, it's also possible the Palins are paying this freak to post her bizarre verbal diarrhea along with their personal photos on her blog and to compulsively vomit out twisted (and horribly redundant) support for them here and on other blogs that hold the Palins to the light. I certainly wouldn't put it past them.

    Still, I have to say, they need to be worried about the fairytale Palinbot. She seems nearly unhinged.

    Did you read the article? The ultra orthodox control at least two parties that are essential to forming a "ruling coalition" government. So yes, they are in part running the country.

    And... like the quiverful breeders, they breed like rabbits, so their numbers are growing.

    Yes, they are dangerous - and the extremists here in the US want to support them - like $carah has.

    @Randall, 7:29 a.m.:

    You are 100% right in saying that Simple Sarah confuses being a tough politician with being a hateful bitch. In so many ways, she has proven that she is anything but a tough politician. She is a thin-skinned whiner who can dish out vitriol but can't take it. She has a permanent reputation as a quitter, which she has justly earned. Most importantly, while she can dish out hatred and division in the form of juvenile snark, she absolutely WILTS when she's asked a question about an issue that requires deep thought and care with words. The fact that she ever thought she could beat Obama is the best illustration of ignorance combined with arrogance. Only someone hopelessly delusional would still be supporting a Palin bid for any political office, least of all the presidency.

    Hi $arah

    As I've been reading Geoffrey Dunn's excellent book called "The Lies of Sarah Palin" I have come to understand even more about you

    You see, my sister is a lot like you:

    Grifting from boyfriends, always involved in drama, a complete and utter narcissist, lying constantly about nearly everything, and surrounding herself with one crisis after another. My sister even has her own "enemies" list, and most of her family is on it for one reason or another.

    Do you remember back in November 2008 when you started to cry, and openly weep so bitterly after you and McCain were DEFEATED in the VP spot?

    Do you remember how awful it felt to be rejected by the voters of America?

    The hard, cold truth is $arah that you are perpetual, constant, and everlasting liar. Most Americans knew that about you, and knew you were no where near ready to be a VP.

    And like most liars, you rarely admit when wrongdoing , or apologize for anything.

    I've been a huge critic of yours, and have changed many people's mind about you by revealing the truth about you to family, friends, and political allies.

    You both need psychological counseling for your behavior, and perhaps some good medication.

    I really hope that some day both you and my sister can somehow find the help you need.

    It is quiet, quiet. The city is dreaming. It is forgetting itself, all the struggles and pain. This city that works so hard has fallen into repose. “Enough,” it says. “Enough. Nothing is so important. Where are my loved ones? Let me gather them around me and be soft spoken and loving in my thoughts.” It is about to be Christmas.

    "Where are my loved ones?" Yes, Sarah has to wonder... soft-spoken? Sarah? not gonna happen.

    So you don't like Israel because Sarah and evangelicals support them? That is ridiculous if you mean that and I don't think you do, but that's how it sounds. There are millions of Americans who support Israel who despise Sarah.
