Sarah Palin encouraging the idea of a brokered convention at CPAC. Dammit, are we wanting the same thing again?

I am not sure why Bristol has purple hair, or why her mother introduces her with her full name, but is that Willow standing against the wall too?

I swear that there is more evidence coming out all of the time to support he idea that Palin is some kind of Democratic double agent.  Unless she really is just this stupid.

Update: Thanks to our very good friend GinaM, we have a picture of The Grizzled One damaging the minds of young conservative women at the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute gathering.

As well as a picture of Bristol trying to get ANYBODY to take that damn book her mother talked her into having written to get back at Levi off of off her hands.

Wow I could hardly make her out through the crowd.

Update 2: Here is a write up of that conversation with Palin in the hallway from the video.

“People who start screaming that a brokered convention is the worst thing that could happen to the G.O.P., they have an agenda,” Ms. Palin said in an interview. “They have their own personal or political reasons, their own candidate who they would like to see protected away from a brokered convention.” 

It is not often that I wholeheartedly support a plan endorsed by Sarah Palin, but this one has Gryphen's seal of approval. 

And too late to change your mind lady! We have that shit on video!


Ms. Palin, who frequently offers her take on the race as a commentator on the Fox News Channel, did not rule out making her preference known as the campaign moved forward. 

“My contract does not prohibit me from endorsing, thank goodness,” Ms. Palin said. “So I’m just like 60 percent, 70 percent of Americans still trying to decipher who’s best.”

Yes it must be SO difficult to make a choice between the four whole candidates now isn't it? One must wonder how she ever manages to choose an outfit to put on in the morning.

"So what shall it be? A flag pin to show my patriotism? The Star of David to show I like the Jews, at least until the Rapture?  Or a giant gaudy cross to show I am a Christian, despite everything about my lifestyle?"

    Bristol's purpely-hued hair is, I'm convinced, due to the lighting (and maybe the camera's funky color balance (or lack thereof).

    As for what SP had to say - well, speaks for itself. Nothing of interest, nothing new. Still failing to endorse anyone lest she be 'wrong' ('cause she really hates that) and she sounds about as excited to be there as I would be excited about getting a root canal.

    She'd better step up the enthusiasm factor before her speech tonight.

    Of course she wants a brokered convention. Not because they'll actually draft her as a compromise but because she sees the opportunity to loosen the tightened purse strings of her insane followers. Why else would she be doing this? As for Brisket's hair and the absent crowd at her free book signing - what else is new. She is even staler than Sara

    I was listening to her at CPAC. I think OCCUPY was there, but the crowd starting shouting "USA" and Sarah joined in. There was a shot of people being escorted out...then Sarah said, "You won. See how easy that was!" She also has a cute new rhyme "We're red white and blue, and Obama, we're done with you!" She looked so pleased with herself when she got that right. Otherwise, she's just throwing out red meat for the lowlives, who are gobbling it up.

    Sarah Palin said Saturday that Republicans should be in no hurry to wrap up the presidential nominating contest, declaring that a competitive campaign until the August convention in Tampa would not complicate the party’s efforts to defeat President Obama.

    “People who start screaming that a brokered convention is the worst thing that could happen to the G.O.P., they have an agenda,” Ms. Palin said in an interview. “They have their own personal or political reasons, their own candidate who they would like to see protected away from a brokered convention.”

    She added: “That’s part of competition, part of the process and it may happen.”

    Ms. Palin, who arrived here to deliver a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference, said that she was enjoying watching the newly-competitive Republican presidential primary. She said the campaign has made Mitt Romney and his rivals stronger candidates.

    In a brief interview with The New York Times and CNN, Ms. Palin said that she had not decided which candidate to support. She has repeatedly praised the candidacy of Newt Gingrich, saying a month ago that she would vote for him if she lived in South Carolina, but she did not repeat those accolades on Saturday.

    When asked if Mr. Gingrich should step aside to allow conservative to coalesce behind Rick Santorum, Ms. Palin said, “Not yet.” She said that there was “room for more debate, for more discussion, adding: “I wouldn’t encourage anyone to drop out.”

    Ms. Palin, who last year decided against joining the Republican presidential race, offered no regrets about her decision. She was upbeat as she discussed the party’s nominating contest.

    A day after Mr. Romney stood before thousands of conservative activists at the conference and called himself a “severely conservative governor,” Ms. Palin conceded that she was puzzled by his description.

    “I wasn’t quite sure what the word ‘severely’ meant,” she said with a smile. “It sounded severe.”

    Mr. Romney, a former governor of Massachusetts, has struggled to win over conservative activists in his bid to win the party’s presidential nomination. Ms. Palin said that he “still has a lot of time” to explain his record and his evolution on positions like abortion and other issues. She urged him to spend more time reaching out to Tea Party activists.

    “If the Tea Party patriots are dismissed, if they’re marginalized, they’re going to be much less enthused and much less willing to put it all on the line for the G.O.P. candidate in the general election,” Ms. Palin said. “We can’t afford to have low voter turnout in the general election.”

    But in the interview, she did not criticize Mr. Romney.

    “The best thing that he has going for him – he still has time to make the case,” Ms. Palin said. “Don’t let the political experts in the party say that we need to sew this thing up now.”

    Ms. Palin, who frequently offers her take on the race as a commentator on the Fox News Channel, did not rule out making her preference known as the campaign moved forward.

    “My contract does not prohibit me from endorsing, thank goodness,” Ms. Palin said. “So I’m just like 60 percent, 70 percent of Americans still trying to decipher who’s best.”

    Really, Gryph? A shout-out to GinaM, the commenter who most blatantly disregards your New Years call to civility (apart from the Palin trolls, that is)? I have watched in distress for several months as she has bullied long-time commenters and supporters of this blog, including me, using the same tactics we (rightfully) criticize in Palin and RAM. She is as nasty and divisive as Sarah--much more divisive than the obvious trolls here, because no one takes them seriously (and we all know most of "them" are just one person).

    With this encouragement from you, I can only see her getting worse.

    I have decided, with regrets, to stop visiting IM. For 18 months, I have been coming here for catharsis, news on the icebergs that cannot sink SS Palin soon enough, and sophisticated snark--
    not to revisit junior high, which was bad enough the first time around.

    I am not a Palin or a PAC-paid flunky. I have, in fact, contributed guest posts to one of the blogs on the "Sarah Palin's least favorite" blogroll. (I'm staying anonymous because I don't need blog drama spilling over into my real life.)

    I'm f***ing tired of juvenile accusations that I'm "Baldy" anytime I voice an opinion that dissents from GinaM and her sycophants. And I am not picking on GinaM because she always signs her name, but because the tone of her comments is so consistently disrespectful to anyone who disagrees with her or anyone who has the audacity to ask her to be more civil in her tone.

    The dynamic that has taken over IM comments reminds me of the Wendy the Waitress situation, when bullies prevailed to drive off a valuable source of Palin information and insight. The same thing is happening again. GinaM and her ilk couldn't serve Sarah better if they were on the PAC payroll.

    I guess Sarah see's a brokered nomination as her way of getting nominated without having to show just her ignorance through the debates. I would love to see her nominated, however, it would be a total win for Obama. She would still have to do a couple of debates which would destroy her even more and give us all a great night of cheap entertainment. Stock up on the popcorn early by finding it on sale. Since I live in Tampa and they're asking for volunteers, maybe I should volunteer on the chance of witnessing the downfall of the Republican party.

    Sarah Palin is a dominionist, and the dominionists not only have seen all their dogs kicked out of this show, but to them, Mormons and Catholics are as welcome as atheists, pagans and ringworm. Of course the Grisly One is hoping for a brokered convention - all the dominionists are. It will be their opportunity to implant one of their own into the race w/out any of the vetting of the long primary the rest have gone through. She hasn't endorsed anyone yet b/c she won't endorse anyone who isn't a fellow dominionist cult member. As for Palin appointing incompetent high school chums to state gov't positions, quit looking at Wasilly High and look at the Assembly of God and her fellow prayer warriors - the same cult whose members Capt Zero has continued to appoint. This isn't complicated.

Are Sarah and Bristol blaming the ghost writer for the book´s failure? Is the ghost writer there to share the blame for the book´s failure? Is the ghost writer there to answer questions about the book Bristol could not answer earlier?

    Only one thing is clear: The ghost writer is holding the frightened Bristol´s hand.

    A number of people including Chuckie have said that Palin is not calling the shots, which I tend to believe. I think she wanted to announce a candidacy so bad she could taste it and was finally told, back off or else. I also think she was shoved, big time, out of the governor's mansion. Debatable, I'm sure. But if the strings are being pulled, whose interests would be served by agitating to drag out the primary fight? Apart from the most seriously disturbed TeaBaggers, I mean. Surely the big money and players behind the GOP scene realize they have to hold their noses & get behind Mitt.

  67. lol..this loon will never stop trying to undermine the process when it doesnt include her.
    and that is what she is trying to do,
    make herself relevant by trying to dictate the process.

    well blame the other loons of the party for not calling her out on her ridiculous arguments especially the idea that "people want to protect their candidate". LOL well thats EXACTLY what these primaries are for.

    the idea that a brokered convention will come away with a better candidate that hasnt gotten the support of the people through their votes is so juvenile and insane that she should be laughed out of the place.

    the only people who want brokered conventions are the people whose candidate couldnt hack the process.

    about time for romney to take this idiot on and when he does he will realize the fence sitters will rush to his side because palin has very little support outside of the crazies and they hate romney already.

  71. Never watched CPAC before and glad I never will again...but whoever the guy who introduced the lady who introduced Baldy (yeah, I know) was...the man looked like the JOKER!

    His mouth when he smiled went half way up his face! Never seen anything like it! Then the lady who introduced Baldy was an African American lady by the name of Millie something or other...she started introducing Baldy with all kinds of adjectives that didnt decribe Baldy at all.

    I almost thought they were goint to bring out somebody else!! She was saying shit like..."this lady is WISE, savy, a force not to be silenced"...yeah okay.

    Then Baldy came out with some kind of shiny blood red shirt on swinging her fake boobies! Only problem was the boobs looked WRONG! I think she had on two different sizes or something. Her skirt was black and extremely TIGHT and her booty was flat as a pancake!

    And that HAIR! Whoever did her wig... over did the frosting...and that black hair sticking out at the bottom was just LAZY! And when the camera pulled back and showed Baldy at the podium...her head looked GINORMOUS!

    I think the two or three wigs on her head made the size of her head look abnormal!

    Now the SCREECH! She paid somebody for that mess! I guess we'll find out when she releases the numbers from BaldyPac this summer!

    Anywho, she was on FIRE! Only if you like to watch fire breathing dragons spewing out insults to the President and Washington "plutocrats"...I'm sure the patients at Asylum thought she was fantastic.

    She looked like she was reliving her RNC speech from 08! She was at her nastiness about President Obama...I won't put what she was saying...there will be a transcript for sure.

    Watching her all I could do was smile and laugh! It doesn't matter who writes these "fiery screeches" for her and she delivers them that way....she still isn't a power player!

    She is so far from having any kind of political influence that I couldn't help chuckling every time she looked at the camera and did her pointy knuckle thing while spitting out insults...all I could think....THE WOMAN IS A JOKE!

    I did see the hecklers get escorted out...and all Baldy did was stand there with that rickety smile going across her face. Of course she had nothing to worry about...you could see the big black security guy on the stage!

    Whichever detox facility they had her in for the last week...is a real good one! Considering how she looked half dead earlier in the week...they did manage to put her together long enough for her to read her screech....off the TELEPROMPTER! She wasn't fooling nobody!

    Now she has to make it through the interview with Chris Wallace. If I'm not mistaken...she should tape the show today...and they'll show it tomorrow.

    Now I guess I'll head to the asluymn and see what the patients are saying about her not announcing her run for President...although according to a comment posted today...the patients were more concerned with Baldy's security...check this comment out...

    fllwtheldr 29 minutes ago in reply to Al B.
    Nope she's not relevant at all /s. I am really liking the looks of that security in the vid clip. They don't look like they would mess around. They don't look like regular security either- look more like secret service, though I'm sure they aren't. Maybe spec ops.

    "spec ops".....Yeah...sure! LOL!!!

    BRAVO ! TO THE FOLLOWING COMMENTER:

    I'm f***ing tired of juvenile accusations that I'm "Baldy" anytime I voice an opinion that dissents from GinaM and her sycophants. And I am not picking on GinaM because she always signs her name, but because the tone of her comments is so consistently disrespectful to anyone who disagrees with her or anyone who has the audacity to ask her to be more civil in her tone.

    ""The hour has come"---Das Marchen

    Appareantly Gryphen's call for civility only applies to some commenters. Gina apparently does not think the rules apply to her. Oh yeah! Now I remember who that reminds me of, Sarah Palin.

    I am areally disappoinated that Gryphen continues to allow this person to tarnish his blog the way she does.

    Gryphen you are lowering your bar here, not raising it. This is exactly the same "sound" Palin makes, right down to the victimhood.

    I have to agree with Anonymous 1:08. I dislike SP as much as anyone, but many comments are just over the top. It is really mean to call her "Baldy." If she really has lost her hair, that is just uncalled for to make such a comment. And I was attacked too like Wendy when I tried to point out on another anti-Palin blog that they were barking up the wrong tree with the LLC real property ownership issue. I was accused of all sorts of things when I was just trying to help with some actual knowledge of how the name process for a registered company works. We should all be better than she is and not sink to her level.

    Meat throwing bitch goes all out:

    Sarah Palin CPAC Speech Drowns Out Occupy Protesters

    ...She mocked the president's "Winning the Future" campaign, reusing a joke about the initials.

    "Win the future, W-T-F, I know," she said.

    Palin also spent a significant amount of bashing other national politicians, if not by name. She said many come to Washington promising they will eliminate government and call it a "cesspool." "It's not a cesspool, more like a hot tub," she quipped.

    She said Tea Party members of Congress, especially those elected in 2010, are not included in those remarks, and that in 2012 they need to win the Senate to change government.

    "Maybe instead of calling Washington a swamp, we should call it a wetland. Then maybe it would slow the growth of government," she said.

    Palin has not endorsed a candidate, and did not do so on Saturday. She said continuing the race will strengthen the nominees and that Republicans must "stand united behind whoever our nominee is." She hinted, though, that some might be better than others.

    "Our candidate must be someone who can instinctively turn right to constitutional conservative principles," she said, "it's too late to teach it at this point."

    The Jeb Bush thing has been covered on a some of the alternative sites for over 2 weeks. I think Sarah has been 'tasked' to keep the ball rolling with the 4 characters vying for the rep. nomination so
    they can publicly destroy each other by the time the convention rolls around & clear the path for
    Bush no.3. Bush will likely chose Romney as a vp. Barack needs to get his ducks in a row - & they better be some MEAN ducks to go against the likes of Bush & co.
    & their $$multi-billions. We maybe should forget about nit-picking

    You know what? I don't actually hate the Palins. I see them as a symptom of our terribly sick corptocracy. Certainly, she is ignorant. She doesn't care. She's photogenic, and she can give a good speech written by somebody else: In essence, she's an "excellent actress". Good for her. Bad for the poor, illiterate, chrisinazis who follow her. If you live in a red state, I encourage you to go out and register as a republican. That's why I and my family have done. We can do nothing about the general election, because our state would vote for satan if he had an (R) behind his name. So, you make sure to register before your state primary as a republican, in this election. Then you vote, for the most CRAZY UNELECTABLE candidate that you can. Come general election day, you vote the way SANE PEOPLE vote. That is how you respond to people like Palin.

    Sarah Palin Receives the Most Depressing Rendition of the "Happy Birthday" Song We've Ever Heard

    From the looks of the shrieking, camera-wielding mob that slowly crawled its way across the Marriott lobby this afternoon, we thought for a moment that Ronald Reagan himself had been reincarnated by CPAC scientists as this year's grand finale. But it was only Sarah Palin, still attracting the same vortex of attention — here, at least, among her people — as she ever did at the peak of her powers. This was before tonight's keynote speech, for which hundreds of people lined up hours in advance. So many people, in fact, that three overflow rooms were set up to accomodate them all. When Palin was introduced onstage at around 4:40 p.m., she was greeted by a loud, sustained standing ovation, a standing ovation that would be reprised many times.

    The speech was so full of red meat that Palin may as well have just butchered a live cow onstage and tossed various bloody cuts into the crowd. It was all red meat — "the government rich," bureaucrats, "spread the wealth around," Solyndra, negotiating with the Taliban, cooperating with the Kremlin, EPA, lightbulbs, "crony capitalism," plutocrats, "community organizer," "lowering the sea levels," "Chicago politician," biased media. It was the Sarah Palin we all know and love, or despise, but nothing in between.

    When it was over, Palin shook hands with a few lucky CPACers in the audience, while in the hallway outside of the ballroom, dozens of fans crowded around the doors which, over the course of the past few days, most speakers have emerged from after leaving the stage. Anxiously, they waited for Palin. And waited. The minutes ticked by. Eventually, they tried to coax Palin out by serenading her with the "Happy Birthday" song (Palin turns 48 today). It was just after they finished that a CPAC staffer informed them, "Sarah is gone. She left the building." Watch the video below, with a special cameo by my index finger.

    I said it before and I'll say it again--the TP'ers are the John Birchers on steroids with much better PR, and their daffy puppet Queen at the helm. I'm surprised HP didn't give her speech the lead story--all the comments so far are negative to The Griz and her salivating followers. Seems everyone is on to her speechwriter's little soundbyte tricks that are easy for the faithful to remember and spout over the next few months. And of course, the sheep must all forgive her the use of the dreaded TelePrompTer, 'cause she's just too busy and important to memorize her lines, or are they being fed to her as they go along?

    And you can bet the family knives and forks that she'll be sucking up to whoever the nominee is--brokered convention or not. I notice she didn't heap praise on Snewt now that Romney is ahead. I'd really love to know who's pulling her strings--Koch? Fundies? Dick Armey?

Someone with her ability to electrify a room, that 'it' factor, is so empty of genuine material. She was gleeful in her divisiveness.

I can't stand Palin or anything she stands for and never voted for her but the mean junior high girl name calling demeans this blog. It certainly won't do anything to convince others that we are reasonable in our objections to Palin...and that is what we should be striving for. When I open IM, for some reason it shows my location as Wasilla. I live in the Susitna Valley 35 miles away from Wasilla. Interesting to note that after I open IM occasionally I'll see sarcastic remarks like, "Hi Wasilla", the assumption being that I'm a Palin troll. Paranoia like that doesn't help our cause either.

    You don't see unhappy people here? Are you kidding? While it's true that many of the unhappy ones left in a mass exodus, many of those who stayed are part of the third highest homeless population in the United States. For those of us who were fortunate to cling (barely)to our homes despite the economy, we now owe more than double what our homes are worth today, and insurance premiums have tripled in the past two years.

    They almost assassinated Reagan but he had made a pact with the devil and he lived. Reagan: I want to be a great, famous actor. Devil: I'm only the devil. Even I can't make you a great actor. How about if I make you President? Reagan: Deal!

    Was it coincidence that VP George HW Bush had a meeting scheduled with John Hinckley's brother on the day of Reagan's assassination attempt?

    After Reagan left office the Repubs bought him a house in CA - one small problem: street address was 666 - so they had it changed.

    In any brokered convention the nominee would be the Jebster. Convention in Florida? Yup, it'll be brokered, with the Jebster as the candidate. This has been in the plans for years, hence the RNC decided to trot out only non-winnable candidates, knowing that none other than the Jebster could, at the last minute, pull the party together. The Jebster's family claims to be very close to the Romney family so, yes, it could well be a Jebster-Romney ticket. But I doubt that the ticket, brokered or otherwise, will have Sarah's name on it. Nevertheless, I encourage everyone to vote, since she could still end up with a high-level job – and great demagogic power – in any republican administration.

    Whitney Houston's Last Performance: Singer Sang 'Yes, Jesus Loves Me' Night Before She Passed

    Just one night before she passed away at the age of 48, Whitney Houston took to the stage to sing "Yes, Jesus Loves Me" at the Kelly Price & Friends pre-Grammy concert on February 10th.

    Watch the video below to see Houston's strong, and now eerie, performance.

    The singer passed on the eve of the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. The singer was pronounced dead at 3:55 pm at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel, according to TMZ. A cause of death was not immediately known, and details are still emerging at this time.

    5:17..agree, it is not what it started out to be and I've been here for 3 yrs..along with the Bree and Palin Deceptions blogs. The Inquirer mentality has taken over with all the nasty remarks, even going so far as to call each other names. It is really sad because this used to be to go to blog for information. I think most of the original commenters have left and a new bunch has taken over, that is why the comments are always high in the Palin threads but not the others. And no I am not a troll!

    ,,,Sister Sarah referred to Obama as an international community organizer, and it seemed the whole purpose of her keynote address was to throw a temper tantrum over losing the 2008 election. If you have heard Sarah Palin speak once in the last few years, then you’ve already heard this speech. Palin mocked Obama as the messiah who promised to lower the tides and sea levels.

    This address was the final coda of Sarah Palin. She had nothing to offer. Her address was stuck in the past. She is still trying to run her 2008 campaign strategy of lies and personal attacks against President Obama.

    Palin’s bitterness over her irrelevance was palpable. She pulled out all of her greatest hits. She attacked the EPA. She tried to play the Washington outsider. Palin worked in crony capitalism.

    Just to show how completely out of touch she is, Sarah told the Occupy Wall Street protesters that they were protesting the wrong place and thing. It is obvious that Palin doesn’t pay attention to the news.

    She doesn’t follow current events and she has no idea what is going on, or maybe she is just the typical Fox News viewer. (However, Palin did tie Obama’s singing of Al Green to Chicago style politics and corruption). Palin also worked in complaints about the media and the left destroying her and attacking her family. (More standard Sarah Palin bitterness).

    Palin had declined to speak at CPAC, because they don’t pay their speakers. Each of the last three years, Palin would either blow off CPAC or she would commit and cancel on them. Now that she has finally hit rock bottom, Sarah Palin agreed to speak at CPAC.

    The activists at CPAC were drunk on the vapors of Palin’s past celebrity, but the truth is that CPAC organizers should be happy they didn’t pay her. Because even at a cost of nothing, CPAC got ripped off by Sarah Palin.

    PDS? I googled this and checked the Urban dictionary (you don't want to know what I found), but could you clarify what this acronym stands for?

    Pretty Damned Sexy?

    Phase Dithering Sequence?

    Paroxysmal Depolarization Shift?

    Problem Descriptor System?

    Persistent Developmental Stuttering?

    Practice Dangerous to Security?

    Pink Death Syndicate?

    No comprende. Gracias.

    At the 0:27 mark, Brisket is mocking her mom's finger tick while emphasizing "No" to some random white guy facing Beefalo, after which some guard's shoulder shifts to block the view. Ha ha ha... Sarah got her back by mentioning her name and giving her noogies on her purple hair.
    What's with all the black clothes? And Willow's maternity slip is hanging down to her knees. Sheesh, what a hot mess!

    Really, Gryph? A shout-out to GinaM, the commenter who most blatantly disregards your New Years call to civility (apart from the Palin trolls, that is)? I have watched in distress for several months as she has bullied long-time commenters and supporters of this blog, including me, using the same tactics we (rightfully) criticize in Palin and RAM. She is as nasty and divisive as Sarah--much more divisive than the obvious trolls here, because no one takes them seriously (and we all know most of "them" are just one person).

    With this encouragement from you, I can only see her getting worse.

    I have decided, with regrets, to stop visiting IM. For 18 months, I have been coming here for catharsis, news on the icebergs that cannot sink SS Palin soon enough, and sophisticated snark--
    not to revisit junior high, which was bad enough the first time around.

    I am not a Palin or a PAC-paid flunky. I have, in fact, contributed guest posts to one of the blogs on the "Sarah Palin's least favorite" blogroll. (I'm staying anonymous because I don't need blog drama spilling over into my real life.)

    I'm f***ing tired of juvenile accusations that I'm "Baldy" anytime I voice an opinion that dissents from GinaM and her sycophants. And I am not picking on GinaM because she always signs her name, but because the tone of her comments is so consistently disrespectful to anyone who disagrees with her or anyone who has the audacity to ask her to be more civil in her tone.

    The dynamic that has taken over IM comments reminds me of the Wendy the Waitress situation, when bullies prevailed to drive off a valuable source of Palin information and insight. The same thing is happening again. GinaM and her ilk couldn't serve Sarah better if they were on the PAC payroll.

    Bye, Gonna severely miss you! I've always found your comments and contributions quite interesting BTW, but thanks for letting us know, now we worn't have to slog through all the Anonymous comments to get to yours. What a sad day.

    I have never seen so many people so unhappy with a place yet they still keep coming back.Or is it just 1 or 2 people pretending to be many more,along with a few readers they have attracted to their cause?My advice is that if reading here upsets you so much,don't do it.

  144. All I want to know is: whatever drug cocktail Palin is one for her appearances at CPAC. Potent stuff. Have to say that an adoring audience sure perks her up. Nothing like those fireside chats with reluctant FOX hosts.

    I can't believe that she can morph into some superwoman when she wants to. How many hours will she spend in the fetal position as a result?

    Inquiring minds want to know.

    RIP Whitney. It was no real surprise, but it is tragic just the same. Whitney at her worst was still more attractive and talented than Sarah will ever be. Damn drugs.

    I usually post under "Anonymous" because I have a fancy schmancy job and don't want anyone to know my name or address, but when I log into Google, it says I'm from Wasilla, but I'm 30 miles away blah blah blah....

    The anti Gina M Troll is in overdrive tonight. My guess is they're just jealous that Gryphen used some of her links in his post, and aren't afficionados of Gina's brilliant snark. She's imitiating Sarah, herself, while she picks Sarah apart. That takes talent.

    Here's a novel idea, don't like Gina M's posts, don't read them. She's easy to skip because she has a registered name AND avatar (that's a picture thingy that helps people identify a poster easily). It's called "Free Will", people, use it!

    I, for one, come here to read Gryphen's posts AND Gina's comments because they're cathartic, interesting, and entertaining.

    I usually post under the name "Anita Winecooler" not because I have a fancy schmancy job and don't want anyone to know my real name, but because my real name is "Anonymous" and my comments would get lost in the mix.



    Keep up the good work Gryphen and Gina M! Thanks, Gryphen, for allowing free speech, I love reading the santimonious troll comments almost as much as they feel their comments are soooooo important that they have to repeat them, you know, so people will think they're seriously leaving if you don't bend to their wishes.

    I'm a regular reader and have been for years though I seldom comment.

    Thought I should admit that I quit reading GinaM's comments some time ago as I found them increasingly unsettling. The snarling, vicious dog in her avatar is as much GinaM (as she presents herself here) as it is SarahP.

    And yes, of course, it's easier to call someone a "troll" than to consider the possibility that the criticism offered might have some merit . . . .

    In case you don't know when to cede to your betters, which you don't, 1:08 did a guest post at Laura Novak's where your 'style' and sense of humor aren't much welcomed.

    Sarah's looking better. Guess she's been busy doing her exercises:
    tease, dither, grift;
    tease, dither, grift...

    And Sarah's clenched jaw and fists are sure signs of her inner peace.

    I have faith that she'll continue to restore inhumanity to this country. Bless her absent heart.

  152. Anita Winecooler...you ALWAYS make me laugh! I can't wait until tomorrow to see what the newest troll talking point is! Yesterday it was..."GinaM is RAM....every other comment agreed...."Yes, GinaM MUST be RAM"! And today's talking point is "Let's shame Gryphen into getting rid of GinaM".....and "Wendy the Waitress(HUH??)"....as Scarlett O'Hara says in one of my favorite movies...."I'll worry about it tomorrow...because tomorrow is another day!"

    And for those who said something nice in my defense...much appreciated and for the trolls....

    Please see my comment at 1:08PM. Thank you in advance for your consideration. LOL!!!

    PS...on my way to watch "The Bodyguard" in Whitney's honor! Love me some Kevin Costner! RIP Nippy!!

    So called troll at 1:08, thank you. You have said things I wanted to say. I hate the attacks on appearance and age. Attack for stupid statements and false values - great! But stupid statements about age??? Don't all of you understand that you, too, if lucky, will become older?

    I particularly hate the menapause crap. That's a natural state of human life - like being a baby or a teenager. Normal life experience.

    Went to a birthday party today in a tiny Bristol Bay (Alaska) village. One villager said, "I woke up to Sarah Palin speaking today. It was an awful way to wake up." Another villager chimed in quietly, "I can't stand that woman."

    I don't know anyone who likes her except for a 90 year old man who's showing signs of Alzheimer's disease. He is hard of hearing and keeps the TV on 24/7, tuned to Fox.

    Read this on HuffPo comments. Anybody know what this is about??

    Sarah has said that her mother would zip into socialist Canada to have her babies...w­hat do Americans do when they can't zip into Canada anymore? Also...thi­s means Sarah, in fact, was born in Canada, not the US.

    Did you know that Anonymous worte a guest post on Laura Novak's blog? WOO HOO, the author hawking a book, who got the "scoop" by "interviewing" some doctor named Brad Snotrocket (or something like that, and such) with some crazy idea about Trig and Ruffles that he stole from some now defunct blog and spun as his own?



    So there! Take that, Gina M.!!!!!


    ha ha ha ha!!!!! ROTFL.

    You as "RAM", also too!

    Too funny!

    Yeah, I was so bummed over Whitney's death that I watched "The Bodyguard". She had rare talent, a five octave range, and I hope she's at peace. Fame, Drugs and Alcohol along with a bad marriage is a lethal cocktail.

    As a mother, I can't wrap my mind around a child left motherless and a mother left childless.

    RIP Nippy
