After winning an Emmy and a Golden Globe for her performance in "Game Change" now Jullianne Moore can also add a SAG award to her collection.

Courtesy of the Examiner:

Actress Julianne Moore has won a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries for her role in "Game Change" on Jan. 27 at the 19th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles, Calif. The Screen Actors Guild Awards are presented by SAG-AFTRA and honor the best performances in film and television. Tonight’s show broadcast around the world from the Los Angeles Shrine Auditorium. 

This is the first Screen Actors Guild Award win and tenth nomination for Julianne Moore. The actress has also won a Golden Globe and a Primetime Emmy for her performance in "Game Change." 

Wow Moore was up against some pretty impressive actresses in competition for this award including Nicole Kidman, Alfre Woodard, Sigourney Weaver, Charlotte Rampling. None of these can be considered lightweights, yet after ten nomination it was this performance that inspired her fellow actors to give it Julianne Moore.

So much for the oft repeated claim that this move was a bunch of lies, and that it was ill received by audiences or critics. Sounds like it, and Moore's performance. more than impressed just about everybody.

You know I wonder I there is a place that sells insurance policies on Wasilla refrigerators?

      Don't forget Katie Couric. Her interviews showed that Sarah Pain was completely out of touch. It wasn't just the fact that she couldn't name anything that she read, she was running to be Vice President and she couldn't think of a single Supreme Court decision that she disagreed with. (Exxon Valdez!). Her answer about Putin rearing his head was another beauty which was supposed to address Sarah's foreign policy experience-- namely sharing a land border with Canada and a narrow maritime border with Russia. All that Tina had to do was repeat Sarah's weak answers in a SNL sketch to make Sarah look even sillier. As for Game Change, yes, it was all Katie Couric's fault, asking those Gotcha questions. Do not pay attention to the fact that Sarah didn't bother to prepare for that interview.

    Word Salad adds up:






    Over the course of three years as a Fox News paid contributor -- earning a reported $1 million a year -- former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin made $15.85 per word, according to a study from the University of Minnesota's Smart Politics published Monday:


    A Smart Politics review of the more than 150 FOX broadcasts in which Sarah Palin appeared as a paid commentator from 2010 through 2012 finds that she spoke 189,221 words on air during this span, for an average pay rate of $15.85 per word.

    According to the study, Palin appeared on the network in some form an average of once every 7.2 days. Most of her appearances were on "Hannity" or "On the Record w/ Greta Van Susteren."

      I think Fox's biggest statement regarding the on-air future of Sarah Palin was the fact that she was never given her own show. They tested her in Spring of 2010 with that epically uncomfortable American Heroes show, which she hosted, and it was just terrible; even her supporters didn't like it. She was always just dialing it in on someone else's show so she could be "contained" and "guided" by a more successful on-air personality, but was never asked to host her on "Salad of Words with Sarah Palin".

      Delete
    4. "...epically uncomfortable American Heroes show, which she hosted..."
      ----------------------------
      Her horribly uncomfortable performance on that show was due to her having to interview other people and express interest in their accomplishments.

      She could not do it. In Sarah World, other people are to fawn all over her. She could not handle a position in which it was her responsibility to shine the spotlight on someone other than herself.

      Her narcissism is downright crippling.

    So Fox pays the price for Bible Spice's TOXIC DUMP.

    ---
    Sarah Palin uttered more than 189,000 words over 150 appearances on various FOX broadcasts during her three years as an analyst at the network, or $15.85 per word

    With the three-year contract now expired between FOX News and Sarah Palin, there is a wealth of commentary made by the former Alaska Governor and GOP Vice-Presidential nominee to dissect.

    Palin, who was paid a reported $1 million per year as a contributor to FOX since mid-January 2010 when FOX announced her signing, may not have made quite the splash her employers had hoped during this three-year period, and would, on occasion go weeks between appearances.

    So, did the network get their money's worth?

    A Smart Politics review of the more than 150 FOX broadcasts in which Sarah Palin appeared as a paid commentator from 2010 through 2012 finds that she spoke 189,221 words on air during this span, for an average pay rate of $15.85 per word.

    Palin appeared on the network in studio, by satellite, by telephone, or in a pre-taped interview an average of once every 7.2 days during this three-year period, with the vast majority of those coming on two particular programs.

    Sean Hannity and Greta Van Susteren both interviewed Palin 55 times, combining for nearly three-quarters of her appearances on the network over the last 36 months. (Note: the latter total includes interviews by Griff Jenkins and guest host Martha McCallum on Van Susteren's On the Record program).

    Though the number of appearances were equal, Palin spent a bit more time in the 9 pm EST slot, delivering 72,986 words on Hannity compared to 67,987 words while on On The Record with Van Susteren.

    Overall, 74.4 percent of the words Palin delivered during her political analysis occurred on these two programs.

    Palin generally avoided the more hard-edged interviewers on the network with less than 20 appearances before Chris Wallace on FOX News Sunday (13,970 words) and Bill O'Reilly's O'Reilly Factor (10,169) combined.

    Palin also logged in another 5,768 words during the network's various election, primary, or caucus night coverage - usually interviewed by Bret Baier and Megyn Kelly.

    She spoke 18,341 words on other FOX programs, such as The Five, Beck, and Your Money with Neil Cavuto.

    Overall, with reported payments of $3 million across her three-year tenure at FOX, that means Palin was paid an average of $15.85 for the 189,221 words of analysis she provided the network.

    And just what words were spoken among the 189,221 delivered by Palin during her three-year contract at FOX?

    She only uttered her patented "you betcha" line twice as a FOX employee, and both during her first month as a paid analyst.

    The first came on a January 28, 2010 appearance during On the Record and the other at the specific request of FOX News Sunday host Chris Wallace on February 7, 2010.

    A slightly more common phrase Palin dropped was "Right on!" coming in at five mentions.

    Palin discussed President Obama by name 786 times compared to just 41 mentions for her self-proclaimed favorite former president Ronald Reagan (as told to Gretchen Carlson) with 41 and Abraham Lincoln with three.

    Religion was frequently peppered into Palin's commentary and the former governor uttered "Amen" 111 times across her 151 appearances.

    She also mentioned "God" 57 times, Christians and Christianity 16 times, Moses three times, and Jesus once.

    This isn't to say Palin didn't occasionally dance with the devil - delivering the PG-13 "heck" 28 times, "darn" nine times, "hell" seven times, and "damn" twice.

    Palin mentioned "Muslim" 13 times and "Islam" on six occasions.

      Which also means that she received about $20,000 for each segment, which is what, 10 minutes? She appeared roughly 150 times in three years, working a total of about 75 hours over three years.

      One of the most hilarious comments from her cult members was that she would no longer have to
      endure " Hannity trying to make her look foolish ".
      More like Dumb and Dumber.
      Execs at FOX had to know they had a big problem ,
      once she started making appearances and was incoherent and repetitive.
      I'm surprised that the real backstory from other FOX pundits hasn't started leaking.
      I recall her making one of her first on air appearances on FOX with Beck.
      He tried to have a conversation with her about US history
      and she would not answer a single question.
      Because she couldn't.
      He became frustrated with her refusal to engage.
      I distinctly recall that afterwards he was very angry
      and felt that he had been set up and made to look idiotic ,
      asking question after question
      and never getting an answer.
      Like talking to a brick wall.
      Her highly advertised appearance was a bomb,
      the first of 150 on FOX.
      I doubt she will be landing on Beck's show as a co host.
      Anyone who attaches themselves to this emaciated cartoon character of a human being ,
      deserves what they get.

    And over on HP they are squeezing in as many stories as they can on her since the Fox deal went south. Guess they are just as interested in getting the max return on clicks while she's still in the news. What none of the MSM realizes is that she is ripe for picking (overripe really) and a decent investigative journalist could blow the doors off her life and expose her lies. Of course she'd be back playing victim in a heart beat so maybe best to let the bloggers keep up the pressure until Justice and IRS come for her and the Toad.

    In the mean time we'll await the next pregnancy announcement. Think of it. Brisket is done, Track is getting divorced. That leaves Willit and Pipette to fire up their ovaries and vault the family back into the limelight.

    Sarah Palin and the End of an Era

    The former Alaska governor's split from Fox News highlights the fade of the Tea Party as well as her own diminishing role.

    The news that Sarah Palin will no longer be a paid contributor to Fox News puts an exclamation point on the end of an era, or at least a chapter, in U.S. political history. She could land somewhere else, and she still has her Facebook friends, but it’s hard to imagine she’ll find a more visible or influential platform than Fox.

    The former Alaska governor and 2008 vice presidential nominee has been fading from the scene for some time, as she inadvertently highlighted when she complained on Facebook during the Republican convention in August that the network had canceled her scheduled interviews that night. Her brother, Chuck Heath Jr., told Alan Colmes last week on Fox Radio that his sister is “kind of laying low right now,” though he wouldn’t or couldn’t say when asked why.

    Once the face of an energetic and politically potent Tea Party movement, Palin is leaving Fox at a time when polls show the Tea Party at an all-time low in both membership and favorability. Her departure also coincides with calls by some leading Republicans for their party to stop saying things that erode the GOP brand and turn off voters in droves.

    OH NO!

    CAN SARAH PALIN THE VICTIM COMPREHEND THIS?


    (CNN) - There was a time, as she emerged from the rubble of the 2008 campaign, when Sarah Palin was the hottest cultural figure in America.People loved her. People hated her. She had transcended the narrow bounds of politics to become a larger-than-life figure, the woman portrayed by Tina Fey, the mama grizzly from Alaska. Every journalist in the country knew that if you put Palin's name in an online headline or television segment, your clicks and ratings would soar.Little wonder that Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes rushed to sign her as a million-dollar-a-year contributor and built a modern studio for Palin in her Wasilla home.By the time word trickled out Friday that Palin's contract would not be renewed, the reaction was a collective shrug. Her moment had passed. And therein lies a lesson -- about the fleeting nature of fame but also about the nature of media commentary.Watch: An interview with the woman whose Facebook photo was stolen in Manti Te'o girlfriend hoaxThe exiled-politician-turned-pundit has been a growing staple of cable news. CNN began the tradition by returning Pat Buchanan to "Crossfire" in between his presidential runs. MSNBC is packed with such Democratic figures as Al Sharpton, Ed Rendell and Howard Dean.And for a time as the 2012 campaign approached, the Fox payroll included no fewer than four potential presidential candidates: Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, Mike Huckabee and Palin. The former vice-presidential nominee was both newsmaker and news commentator, staging a New Hampshire bus tour in the summer of 2011 to flirt with the idea of making a White House bid, though it was all for show.But Palin never quite had the impact of, say, a Karl Rove as a Fox talking head. She became something of a one-note wonder, jabbing at President Barack Obama for failing to deliver on the hope-y change-y thing, but reluctant to challenge her fellow Republicans, especially after Mitt Romney rolled to the nomination.Watch: The New York Post mocks Hillary's anger (and dings Bill)It wasn't clear what Palin stood for. She also reflexively jabbed the media (except for Fox), seemingly more interested in settling scores than driving an agenda. As Palin appeared from Alaska with less frequency, she became less a part of the national conversation.

    When Rupert hired Sarah, he thought that she was hot and that she would be good for ratings. If she ran for president in 2012, even better. Fox would have been able to claim having the inside track. Now, four years later, Sarah is an example of the Republicans making a giant mistake. Keeping her on TV would simply remind people that the 2012 candidate, Romney, was out of touch with people, and that the 2008 candidate, Palin, was out of touch with facts and learning.

      Some of my favorite parts from this Palin farewell:

      Neither articulate nor insightful, she stumbled her way through a hundred appearances as a "Fox News Contributor," offering viewers nothing more than her presence, as if that were enough.

      "A moderate Republican candidate lost after he was perceived to alienate working class Reagan Democrat and Independent voters who didn't turn out for him as much as they did for the McCain/Palin ticket in 2008." Well put! If only Mitt Romney, who lost to Barack Obama by 4 points, could have been as successful as the McCain/Palin ticket, which lost to Barack Obama by 7 points.

      Palin's theme was always resentment, the acid bile of the culture war. She luxuriated in her grievances—against the establishment, against the media, against everyone from the mightiest politician to the lowliest teenager who happened to knock up her daughter (as Levi Johnston put it at one point, "It's almost funny, that she's like, 46 years old, and she's battling a 19-year-old, and I'm winning"). Resentment was her instrument, her tool, her vehicle and her purpose.

    I'm curious. Did any of the Fox news shows over the weekend or this morning so far even mention that she is no longer with the network? Or, as I suspect, are the commentators (Steve, Gretchen, Brian, etc., etc.) forbidden to mention it??

      I ask because I know Morning Joe and Mika discussed it this morning.
      I watched (what I could stand) the part on Don Imus (Fox Business) to hear if Sarah's name was mentioned by Bernard McGuirk in his Bernie Briefings. He didn't mention her.
      McGuirk is one of Sarah's biggest fans, he fawns all over her. I heard once on air saying 'I love me that woman'. Yuck. I thought for sure he'd mention it, but if he did, I missed it.
      And when the last awards show was on with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, he was pissed when they made fun of Palin. Saying how unfair it was because Palin was there to defend herself..Aw..too bad!

    2. I don't know that they would need to forbid them from mentioning her. I would guess that for many of them, she just isn't worth discussing. Sarah who? There were signs early on that some of the regulars thought she was a doofus.

      In addition, her appearances have slowly dwindled; it is not as though she was on nightly and then all of a sudden gone. And, she wasn't physically there anyway, what with her spoiled queen bee private studio; it's not like suddenly your pal by the water cooler isn't there any more.

    People Didn’t Kill Sarah Palin’s Career, Guns Did

    The news of former future Vice President Sarah Palin‘s exit from Fox News has led to the inevitable media autopsy of Palin’s career as a pop culture super-duper-star, but missing from the discussion is the irony that her demise offers a last gasp of relevance. As Republicans and Democrats pray they never have to vote on the most meaningful of President Obama‘s post-Newtown gun regulation proposals, they should look at Palin’s trajectory when deciding what to do should such a vote ever be put before them. It’s been a long road to the media grave for Sarah Palin, but it all started about two years ago, in the aftermath of another horrific mass shooting.

    It’s almost impossible to exaggerate the hotness of Sarah Palin’s media star at its peak. Think of every exploding media firework to seize the national imagination for their 15 minutes; Anthony Weiner, Herman Cain, Christine O’Donnell, Donald Trump, James O’Keefe, Balloon Boy. Each took their turn dominating headlines for a few weeks, or even months, but Sarah Palin burned hotter and brighter for two and-a-half years. In the world of the microscopic news cycle, Palin’s staying power was untouchable. Nothing could stop her, and the more her detractors hated her, the more powerful she became.

    Then, a horrific mass shooting in Tucson claimed the lives of six Americans, including 9 year-old Christina Taylor Green, and left Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-AZ) fighting for her life. Palin was drawn into the post-shooting conversation by Giffords herself, who had, months earlier, called Palin out by name for placing crosshairs on Giffords’ district in a political ad.

    This is where things begin to sound eerily familiar, because just as the National Rifle Association did in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings, Sarah Palin waited several days to respond, heightening the anticipation. Like the NRA, Palin was faced with a choice between responding in a low-key, productive manner, or something else. The NRA chose to seize maximum attention for itself by holding a press conference one week, almost to the minute, after the Newtown tragedy, and used that spotlight to deliver the most self-serving, tone-deaf response to a mass shooting since… this.

    Sarah Palin waited four days, then used the day of the Tucson memorial to deliver the most tone deaf, self-serving response to a mass shooting ever. Although he now blames more generalized extremism for Palin’s decay, Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough absolutely nailed it back then, and actually dared us all to “save the tape.” Here it is:

    Scarborough On Palin’s Exit From Fox: ‘De Facto’ Leader Roger Ailes ‘Realized What Had Gone Wrong’ In GOP

    Scarborough said Palin’s split with Fox News is important because after President George W. Bush the “de facto” leader of the conservative movement has been News Corporation head Roger Ailes. When Ailes “decides she’s not worth the trouble, then that means that conservatism’s moving in a new direction,” he contended.

    And with that, he was off. Echoing Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Scarborough said the Republican Party must stop being “stupid” — and furthermore that the “conservative movement has stifled debate.”

    “Are you saying that pushing her out of the spotlight as part of making the stupid party less stupid?” Mika Brzezinski asked.

    Palin, he said, “represented a time and place in American politics.” And “that time is passing us very quickly.” Scarborough went on:

    Roger Ailes saw this coming well before the 2012 election. He had realized what had gone wrong. Not only at his network but also in the conservative movement of the Republican Party. That’s why he was running out and talking to Chris Christie saying, ‘Get in this race, you can save this party.’ And Ailes was right.

    Palin, after all, “was more theatrics than anything else.” In a sense, Willie Geist chimed in, Palin was a “proxy” for many conservatives to fight the media, Democrats, and President Obama. For those who felt they were treated the way she was treated.

    She represented “Republican resentment,” Scarborough said. And unlike Ronald Reagan, she was unable to follow through on it.

    Take a look, via MSNBC:

      She used to be a very pretty woman, even with the strabismus, which I'll never understand why her parents or she never had corrected. Anyway, she was pretty, it was all she had going for her. I met her a few times at local business meetings and other events and she was very attractive, with great skin and looked good for her age and for having 4 kids, but that voice, and the fact that she's really, very apparently dumb (I still don't see how people can ignore that as her stupidity has always been so very apparent, the moment she opens her mouth) totally takes away from her physical attractiveness.

      What she's become now is beyond sad. I've known some anorexics and some IV drug users in my time and it's a pretty fast trip to the bottom if a person doesn't get help and it's astounding how quickly her looks have faded.

    In the years since the 2008 election and the utter evisceration of her and John McCain’s intellectually insulting gambit at the hands of Barack Obama and the American electorate, I continued to bring up Palin, her family of Beverly Hillbillies and whatever new venture they were undertaking together or separately in the name of grifting more money and mileage from their status as political and pop culture celebrities. I did it because it was entertaining — until the point where the Palin shtick became so pathetic and desperate, her patriotic indignation so contrived, that giving it any attention at all merely fueled an unnecessary yet ultimately destructive fire. After a while, the con got old and the act became stale and so it wasn’t even worth commenting on anymore; doing so did more harm than good. For me and a lot of other people, the line with Palin was crossed a couple of years back, but now we can officially say that it’s been crossed by everyone who matters and Sarah Palin has finally fulfilled her destiny of becoming a pop culture has-been. The political version of Paris Hilton. A former reality TV star nobody cares about anymore.

    Leave it to Fox News, the network that cranked the amp on John McCain’s once-naïve ingenue to 11 and made her a political force well beyond the pounding she and McCain took in 2008, to be the one to drop the hammer on her career once and for all. It’s practically Shakespearean that the network that was responsible in so many ways for making Palin is now responsible for breaking her. A couple of days ago, Fox News announced that it wasn’t renewing Palin’s contract as a regular contributor, essentially cratering a deal that had kept Palin rolling in money and at least a minor amount of relevance within the conservative movement and which provided her with her own TV studio in her Alaska home. The reason for Fox’s decision is obvious and can’t be questioned by anyone with a brain and a lick of business sense: Palin’s star has fallen. Even before Roger Ailes made the decision to — in parlance I’m sure Palin herself will understand and would normally relish — take Sarah Palin out into the woods with a rifle and put her down, he knew she had become much more trouble to his network than she was worth. He’d called her “stupid” and had dismissed her dabbling with a run for the presidency in 2012 as a waste of time and was looking for an excuse to drop her; her steady decline as a celebrity, despite her best efforts, ultimately gave Ailes all the reason he needed to kiss her goodbye once and for all. Ailes once said that he hired Palin because she was “hot and got ratings”; these days, she isn’t and doesn’t.

For the most part it’ll be pathetic and sad — like watching child stars, one-hit wonders and the former subjects of popular TLC shows prostrate themselves on VH1′s Celebrity Rehab just for the sake of keeping their name out there somehow. But Sarah Palin will never be what she once was. And for that we can all be thankful.

    Right before the 2008 election, Sarah Palin said that God wouldn't let the wrong people win. He (or She) didn't. Since then, God has been slamming the door in Sarah Palin's face, and she keeps thinking that it's another opening and another opportunity. She quit in 2009 to cash in while the smart thing would have been to finish the term in order deserve the title of Governor. When Sarah signed up for her own reality show, Karl Rove said that having a reality show was not the road to the Oval Office. She couldn't follow Ailes advice not to respond to criticism after the Arizona shootings. She didn't follow Fox's script, thinking the Rogue was better. It wasn't. Sarah's bizarre appearance and some of her other appearances didn't help. She tried upstaging Romney and Bachmann's presidential announcements. Her description of Paul Revere ranks right up there with Putin rearing his head. There are time when Sarah actually does show people how truly stupid she is and that she does not make any attempt to learn anything. In the end, Sarah has been her own worst enemy.

    Sarah Palin Reportedly Cost Fox News $15 Per Word Spoken On Air

    During her tenure as a Fox News contributor, Sarah Palin reportedly cost the network around $15 per word spoken on air.

    University of Minnesota’s Smart Politics blog dissected the numbers behind Palin’s now-expired three-year contract, rumored to be worth $1 million per year. They found that from 2010 through 2012, she spoke 189,221 words on air, averaging a pay rate of $15.85 per word.

    The media blog also broke down statistics about her many appearances, for those so inclined:

    Sean Hannity and Greta Van Susteren both interviewed Palin 55 times, combining for nearly three-quarters of her appearances on the network over the last 36 months. (Note: the latter total includes interviews by Griff Jenkins and guest host Martha MacCallum on Van Susteren’s On the Record program).

    [...] Overall, 74.4 percent of the words Palin delivered during her political analysis occurred on these two programs.

    Palin generally avoided the more hard-edged interviewers on the network with less than 20 appearances before Chris Wallace on FOX News Sunday (13,970 words) and Bill O’Reilly’s O’Reilly Factor (10,169) combined.

    Palin also logged in another 5,768 words during the network’s various election, primary, or caucus night coverage – usually interviewed by Bret Baier and Megyn Kelly.

    And, for those still interested, the blog also broke down her use of catch phrases on air:

    She only uttered her patented “you betcha” line twice as a Fox employee, and both during her first month as a paid analyst.

    [...] Religion was frequently peppered into Palin’s commentary and the former governor uttered “Amen” 111 times across her 151 appearances.

    She also mentioned “God” 57 times, Christians and Christianity 16 times, Moses three times, and Jesus once.

    This isn’t to say Palin didn’t occasionally dance with the devil – delivering the PG-13 “heck” 28 times, “darn” nine times, “hell” seven times, and “damn” twice.

    Palin mentioned “Muslim” 13 times and “Islam” on six occasions.

    What a great exposition on the Vapid Vamp from Vasilla:

    https://prospect.org/article/well-miss-you-sarah-palin
    Quote:

    Palin's theme was always resentment, the acid bile of the culture war.

    If you ever felt that you were looked down on by Northeastern elitists, or people with too much education, or condescended to by people who think small towns are rather boring and not the only soil from which morality and patriotism can grow, or laughed at by people who find The Purpose-Driven Life to be a less than profound theological text, Sarah Palin spoke for you.

    She luxuriated in her grievances—against the establishment, against the media, against everyone from the mightiest politician to the lowliest teenager who happened to knock up her daughter (as Levi Johnston put it at one point, "It's almost funny, that she's like, 46 years old, and she's battling a 19-year-old, and I'm winning").

    Resentment was her instrument, her tool, her vehicle and her purpose.

    UNEAU, Alaska — Sarah Palin's political action committee ended 2012 with nearly $1.2 million on hand.

    Financial disclosures filed by Palin's SarahPAC show she raised about $20,790 between Nov. 27 and Dec. 31. She spent about $67,800 during that same time frame, including for such things as consulting, speechwriting and legal fees.

    Palin is a former Alaska governor and was the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee. It was announced Friday that Palin and the Fox News channel were parting ways after three years. Palin had worked as a contributor for the network.

The PAC paid $28,000 in December for fundraising related expenses including direct mail, online fundraising and thank you notes to donors, the report shows.

    It seems like such a long time now, but it was only four and half years ago that America was introduced to Sarah Palin, who came down from the wilds of Alaska to set conservative hearts aquiver. Long after she ceased to be listened to for any other reason than that she said something offensive, Sarah Palin's star has faded so far that even Fox News has no more use for her.

    Her umbilical cord to influence—the connection between the studio Fox built in her house and the network's headquarters in New York—has been severed, her contract not renewed. Some of Palin's allies anonymously informed reporters that the decision was hers and not the network's, but I don't believe that for a second. Roger Ailes is not a sentimental man, and when necessary he won't hesitate to cut loose an asset whose usefulness is exhausted. And if you've ever seen her talking to Bill O'Reilly or Sean Hannity, you know that she was actually terrible at TV commentary. Neither articulate nor insightful, she stumbled her way through a hundred appearances as a "Fox News Contributor," offering viewers nothing more than her presence, as if that were enough. In the end, it wasn't.

    ...Palin's theme was always resentment, the acid bile of the culture war. If you ever felt that you were looked down on by Northeastern elitists, or people with too much education, or condescended to by people who think small towns are rather boring and not the only soil from which morality and patriotism can grow, or laughed at by people who find The Purpose-Driven Life to be a less than profound theological text, Sarah Palin spoke for you. She luxuriated in her grievances—against the establishment, against the media, against everyone from the mightiest politician to the lowliest teenager who happened to knock up her daughter (as Levi Johnston put it at one point, "It's almost funny, that she's like, 46 years old, and she's battling a 19-year-old, and I'm winning"). Resentment was her instrument, her tool, her vehicle and her purpose.

    But now Saint Joan of the Tundra will fade from public view. There will be no more reality shows, no more magazine covers, no more speculation about future presidential runs. A couple of years from now, you might say to a friend, "I wonder what Sarah Palin is up to these days?" And they'll respond, "Who gives a crap?"

      Iron Dog begins in a a little less than three weeks so he'd best be out there practicing and tweaking his machine. Guess he dumped his "frontier woman" off in sunny AZ since she's a snowbird now. Who'd have ever believed that Mrs. "I love Alaska" was fibbing about it and really wanted to be a snowbird? What a sham she was, not a single thing about her was as it appeared. Her reality show proved it all: Never climbed, never fished, never shot a gun or hunted...she sold an image but in the end she truly was a Frontier Fraud!

    All Bristol has to do is remove her Jay Leno chin implant extension and gain back her 5 pounds and nobody would ever recognize her.

    WELL deserved, Julianne Moore! Queen Esther and the pee ponds (haven't waded there today) will always blame "librul" Hollywood and the GOP elite for her demise when, in fact, she was hell bent on being a part of them. From the time she went to see Ivana, she had her sights set. She was way out of her league from the start, and being spurned brought out her true self for all to see. An ignorant, vapid narcissist whose hatred and jealousy is eating her alive.

    Julianne, and likewise Tina, did this country a wonderful service and deserve all the accolades given them.

    You all also too are putting down Queen Palin of the lovely mountains and lands of Alaska she will has freedoms of her American right to be free and fighting like a girl now. The 2 years of Fox news was her just preparation H for her new role of Facebook Blaze, and other true American places to spread her words of freedoms and fighting against the President who stole her God given right to be President of this wonderful gun loving country where we put meat on the plate near the mash potatoes then puke them up in bathroom so we can live vividly.

    Kudoos to Moore for acknowledging all the actors in the movie. I think this was a first. And kudoos to SAG for the scenes they picked to highlight all the nominated Game Change performances.

    You know Sarah's watched the movie though she'll never admit it. Which Game Change scenes would she pick as her favorites and her most hated?

    What about?

    Scene: Campaign staff, Sarah, and Todd discuss a news release announcement of Bristol's pregnancy.

    Press secretary Maria makes it clear the announcement is intended to end the rumors of Palin's fake pregnancy. The staff noticeably fails to ask Sarah to document her pregnancy and end the rumors. Sarah and Todd feign objection to throwing Bristol under the bus but fail to offer an alternative. Sarah then shifts blame to Maria and demands she be fired.

    News reports document the truth of the scene.
    “McCain officials said the news of the daughter's pregnancy was being released to rebut what one aide called "mud-slinging and lies" that have circulated on liberal blog sites.”
    http://voices.washingtonpost.com/thefix/eye-on-2008/bristol-palin-is-pregnant.html

    Scene: Steve Schmidt surrounded by pool of reporters, complaining about disgusting, sexist questions:

    Schmidt: “Never in my life have I seen a candidate more attacked by the liberal media...smear after smear...after smear.

    “I’ve been asked when her amniotic fluid started to leak with regard to her last birth. It’s shameful.

    John Heilemann, New York Magazine, Game Change co-author: "So when DID it start to leak?"

    Note that Schmidt attacked the question--a known, commonly-used technique for covering a lie that relates to integrity. Sadly, it worked.

    (INTRO OF.....)

    Friends, I've spent the last few months...

    (ARE YOU SURE IT WASN'T MINUTES)

    ... looking for a running mate that will who can best help me shake up Washington and make it start working again for the people that are counting on us......

    As I'm sure you know, I had many good people to choose from....

    (THEN WHY THE HELL DID YOU CHOOSE A BEAUTY PAGEANT CONTESTANT WHO COULDN'T WIN HER STATE TITLE? WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE YOUNG LADY THAT WON MISS ALASKA? WE WANT WINNERS)

    ......But I could only choose one. And it's with great pride and gratitude that I tell you I have found the right partner to help me stand up to those who value their privileges over their responsibilities, who put power over principle, and put their interests before your needs.

    I found someone with an outstanding reputation for standing up to special interests and entrenched bureaucracies; someone who has fought against corruption and the failed policies of the past; someone who's stopped government from wasting taxpayers' money...

    ... on things they don't want or need and put it back to work for the people; someone with executive experience, who has shown great tenacity and skill in tackling tough problems, especially our dangerous dependence on foreign oil; someone who reached across the aisle and asked Republicans, Democrats and independents to serve in government; someone with strong principles of fighting spirit and deep compassion...

    (SHOULD OF ASKED ALASKA WHO REALLY RAN ALASKA BEFORE MAKING THIS ANNOUNCEMENT, THE HUSBAND ON THE STATE EMAILS)

    ... someone who grew up in a decent, hardworking, middle-class family, whose father was an elementary school teacher and mother was the school secretary.

    They taught their children to care about others, to work hard and to stand up with courage for the things you believe in.

    (ARE YOU STILL TALKING ABOUT YOUR PICK OR ANOTHER FAMILY)

    Both of them were coaches, too, and raised their children to excel at sports.

    And I'm sure they taught them skills that will surely come in handy over the next two months.

    The person I'm about to introduce to you was a union member and is married to a union member and understands the problems, the hopes and the values of working people, knows what it's like to worry about mortgage payments and health care and the cost of gasoline and groceries; a standout high school point guard; a concerned citizen who became a member of the PTA, then a city council member, and then a mayor, and now a governor...

    ... who beat the long odds to win a tough election on a message of reform and public integrity. And I am especially proud to say in the week we celebrate the anniversary of women's suffrage, a devoted...

    ... a devoted wife and a mother of five.

    (HUH? DEVOTED WIFE? HOW MANY KIDS?)

    She's not -- she's not from these parts and she's not from Washington. But when you get to know her, you're going to be as impressed as I am.

    She's got the grit, integrity, and good sense and fierce devotion to the common good that is exactly what we need in Washington today.

    (AND SHE WINKS A LOT AT THE OLD WHITE MEN TRYING TO SNEEK A PEEK)

    She knows where she comes from, and she knows who she works for. She stands up for what's right, and she doesn't let anyone tell her to sit down.

    (SEE ITS YOUR FAULT, YOU KNEW SHE WOULDN'T SIT DOWN AND SHUT THE "F" UP)

    She's fought oil companies and party bosses and do-nothing bureaucrats and anyone who puts their interests before the interests of the people she swore an oath to serve.

    She's exactly who I need. She's exactly who this country needs to help me fight...

    ... to help me fight the same old Washington politics of me first and country second.

    My friends and fellow Americans...

    I am very pleased and very privileged to introduce to you the next vice president of the United States...

    ... Governor Sarah Palin of the great state of Alaska.

    (AND FUTURE MULTIMILLIONAIRE)

    -This is all in fun, we need to smile once in a while

    Ooooh, that dress is astonishingly lovely on Julianne Moore!

    IF Sarah had the actual cleavage to carry it off, I'm sure she would have the hem taken up to just below her hoozie so she could wear it to a military funeral.

    Julianne Moore worked in one huge "dig" at Baldy in her acceptance speech. She referenced watching a lot of basketball with her (beautiful, non judgmental, smart, wise, vibrantly living and totally awesome) kids, then says that it's the "team" and not the "individual" that wins, then went on to list her "team"...

    I liked Julianne a lot before, but THAT was masterful! Sarah used similar language in her (first) "I Quit" speech.
    OUCH!
