Sarah Palin shows up on Hannity to shake her pom poms for Raphael Cruz and his non-filibuster filibuster. Update!

Palin, with her beastly wig shellacked into place, starts off by comparing the Affordable Care Act to a Bible she waves in her hand for effect, saying the law is bigger at 20,000 pages of "boot on your neck" bureaucracy. (I might add that it is not only longer, it is also full of things that will actually help people instead of iron age myths that won't.)

Hannity than rattles off the names of the handful of Senators supporting Cruz, which were Mike Lee, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, David Vitter, Pat Roberts, and Senator Inhofe. And then asks where are the other 39? (Could it be that they recognized this is a exercise in futility, that Cruz is ONLY engaging in simply to attract media attention and garner support for a 2016 presidential run? Could that be why?)

Her reply: "And the Democrats, remember many Democrats had recently come out against Obamacare saying specifically they understood now about the death panels and other things that Obamacare, as the court said, was actually a tax that..uh...they had not been aware of previously, And the Democrats even who had opposed it, where the heck are they? Sean what you are suggesting is this is something much greater than just this boot on the neck, jammed down your throat America, socialized, healthcare coverage program of Obama's, that's going to be run by the IRS. It's greater than that,"

She goes on: "Ted Cruz loves his countrymen ans he does not want to see us destroyed by bad selfish policies so he fights for what is right and yet the naysayers, Sean, are telling us that this is a lost cause? Fighting for what's right. Fighting against a program that's so bad that Congress itself exempted itself out of."

Hannity then claims that Cruz is not advocating shutting down the government, but that he is trying to filibuster a vote for cloture which would allow Harry Reid to put back the Obamacare funding with 60 votes and move the bill forward.  He then asks why the other Republicans do not support him in that? (I must point out that the vote for cloture has not even been scheduled yet, and is not expected until next week. So unless Cruz can stand on the floor for another week he is really just making an ass out of himself.)

However of course Palin does not really understand all that legislative change-y stuff: "Well they're expecting that the American people will not be keeping up with the political-ese that is a part of these kind of arcane Senatorial rules that are kin of tough to follow, you get kind of glassy eyed in trying to follow what exactly is going on, but Cruz is right when he explains that a vote for cloture, to cut off debate and just take a vote on the CR, and allow Senator Reid to defun..or to take out the defunding mechanism that is part of the CR now. A vote for that WILL be a vote for Obamacare. Let me go back to those though who are causing...calling this a lost cause. I don't know if you saw 'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,' in that movie when Jimmy Stewart's character said 'a lost cause' during his own filibuster, his character, he said 'a lost cause is the only one it's actually worth fighting for' because a lost cause, the only reason you would be fighting for such a thing was for one reason, one plain and simple reason, and that is love thy neighbor. And in a world today that is full of hatred that one politician who understands that virtue, love they neighbor, is going to fight tooth and nell (sic) until his political death if you will in order to do the right thing and in that he has a great trust. So are people going to trust that virtue, love thy neighbor, and in this case loving of the country so that we won't be insolvent under Obamacare? Or are you going to love this deceptive program called Obamacare, that they passed not know even what it was really entailing?"

Hannity then invokes Reagan's challenging of Gerald Ford in 1776, and wonders why all of the Republicans do not stand with Cruz to stop the ACA.

Palin: "Well you're right and these statesmen can do what happened back then during our bicentennial year in '76, I remember I was going into junior high and the world's eyes and ears were on the debates at that time and what was going to happen. (I will bet my house that Palin had no idea whatsoever who Ronald Reagan even was back in 1776.) What Reagan allowed then by standing tall and strong on what was right was opening the door for success of a real conservative agenda that the nation needed at the time fours years later. (Did Palin just admit that Cruz is simply positioning himself for a run at the White House? So much for all of that "love they neighbor" stuff!) That is exactly what we are going to need in a few years here, Once President Obama is gone, our country will be so close to having been fundamentally transformed as he had promised that we're going to have a heck of a lot of work to do get us back on solid footing, back to that exceptional, growing, producing nation that we once were. We're going to have a heck of a lot of work to do so yes if the statesmen would stand up today and actually do their job which is fulfilling their campaign promises and implementing the will of the people. (You mean "the people" who elected President Obama by a huge margin in both 2008 and 2012?) We'll see another Reagan uprising, if you will, in a couple of years and that is exactly what we need."

Hannity then suggests that, like Reagan, the establishment Republicans (John McCain included.) are jealous of Ted Cruz.

She of course rushes to throw roses pedals at his feet: "He's is a tough Texan he can handle this. Remember that people throw rocks at things that shine, and Ted Cruz is shining and it's not just him personally, individually, what it is that he, as a person, is represent..represents it's his belief, his idills (sic) his love of country and of, again, not wanting to see us destroyed under something like Obamacare that the IRS is going to continue to cram down our throats."

So if I may sum up. Ted Cruz is either the reincarnation of Ronald Reagan, or Jesus Christ, John McCain and the establishment Republicans want to destroy America, and Obamacare is most likely something we were warned about in the Book of Revelations.

Well I will say that Palin looked much more presentable for this interview, but you know new wigs and more makeup just can't hide the crazy.

Hopefully the lunatic stays off of the television for awhile as I cannot wade through another one of these until I have fully decompressed from this one.

Update: By the way just in care there is any question as to just how full of shit Ted Cruz is, it should be noted that he negotiated the terms for this fake filibuster with Harry Reid ahead of time.

Oh yeah, Palin's backing yet ANOTHER winner.
