Sarah Palin has disappeared from the 2016 presidential campaign. She continues to tease about running, just as she has almost since the day she was defeated as the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee.
But since she spoke at two early presidential showcases this winter, including one where her rambling monologue was blasted by conservative activists and analysts, she’s essentially been missing in action.
Since late February, she’s stayed away from the eight other forums, events held almost weekly. And she’s not on the roster for the next meeting, Florida Gov. Rick Scott’s candidate summit Tuesday in Orlando.
Organizers of these events usually want her, but Palin routinely turns them down and sometimes doesn’t even respond. In some cases, sponsors have stopped asking her.
In political battleground South Carolina, for example, she was not asked to either the party’s Silver Elephant Dinner May 1 or the state Republican convention the next day.
“I’m aware of no one in the Republican Party’s leadership who communicates with Gov. Palin or her team,” said South Carolina Republican Chairman Matt Moore.
The article goes on to point out that though Palin often teases about running, and offers up tweets and Facebook posts, that she is essentially completely uninvolved in any real politics.
Which has led one Republican strategist to make this remark:
“My guess is, looking at her recent history, that her suggested ambitions to run for office are all just publicity stunts to keep her name alive nationally,” said Marc Hellenthal, a Republican strategist and pollster in Alaska.
Gee ya think?
At the end of the article they listed all of the prominent GOP and conservative political events that Palin should be attending if she wants to maintain any credibility. Here it is:
Jan. 24. Iowa Freedom Summit. Attended.
Feb. 26-28. CPAC. Attended.
March 7. Iowa Ag Summit. Did not attend.
April 17-18. New Hampshire “First in the Nation” Leadership Summit. Did not attend.
April 25. Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition Summit. Did not attend.
May 1. South Carolina Silver Elephant Dinner. Did not attend.
May 2. South Carolina Republican Convention. Did not attend.
May 9. South Carolina Freedom Summit. Did not attend.
May 16. Iowa Lincoln Day Dinner. Did not attend.
May 21-23. Southern Republican Leadership Conference. Did not attend.
June 2. Gov. Rick Scott's Florida Economic Growth Summit. Not expected to attend.
(Oops, they missed one. There was also the NRA convention in Nashville on April 10.)
Gee, nothing since February. How odd.
Okay so NOW will the media stop acting as if Sarah Palin is a viable future candidate?
After all didn't they get the memo that all she is now is a national punchline.
I know John Stewart did.
Stay stupid, Governor.
ReplyDeleteNo problem.
DeleteLove,
$arah
Lol...
DeleteYou mean "Governor."
DeleteNo, "governor" with a small "g", like her infantile and belittling "democrat party".
DeleteSo childish! Speaks volumes!
DeleteAnonymous 4:13pm
DeleteYep, that Sarah IS childish.
Alaskans use the small 'g' when and IF they refer to her as governor due to the fact she QUIT!
DeleteThey also would love having her and her brood leave Alaska and reside somewhere else.
O/t but her fb post about the passing of beau Biden is reprehensible!!!! Wtf does a photo of her and joe at the 208 vp debate have to do with the loss this family is enduring. Sorry/not sorry trolls there is not one reason good or bad for her to post that photo. She only posted that whole fb farce to get in the conversation and show via said photo that she spoke to joe Biden. She is disgusting and that is the nice thing I have to say about her.
DeleteNo thanks signed -somewhere else
DeleteWhere's Sarah Palin? Well Palin children do you really give a fuc_?
ReplyDeleteNope! Saw Sally in Freddy's today! No sign of a Palin anywhere!
DeleteWhere's Sarah Palin? Isn’t that the button Alaska's state legislature wore after they got tired of asking Where Is Gov Sarah Palin?
ReplyDeleteI would like to know why Todd did not help his daughter move her crap? Where did he go? Did he defend Sarah at the Ky fingering waggle picnic? Sarah looked red as a beet with anger. Are there no men in her life who can do her right? Track was in a field in Ky and what else did he do? Just hang with his recent baby sitter?
ReplyDeleteTrack joined up with the children of the corn.
DeleteTrack doesn't eat corn he just throws it in the toilet.
These are questions I had not pondered, but they make me go hmmm. Was Toad even at the Celebration of Life in General? And didn't Trackmarks drive an entire bus to KY with his latest squeeze? Why couldn't they have taken Bristol's stuff, which must surely have been a mountain of stuff after, what, a month of life in KY? How the fuck did she get all that stuff to KY to begin with? But back to Todd. I think he's crossed over entirely to the pink team and ain't never coming back.
DeleteGlenn Rice is Sarah hanging out with you? Please send her home. Wait a minute, she can stay in Michigan
ReplyDeleteNo thanks. We already have Rick ALEC Snyder and his merry band of people haters.
DeleteI hope the witch is gone forever! She has been the poster child for hatefulness and everything ugly that is wrong with the world.
DeleteDing dong the witch is dead...did someone take her out with a bucket of soapy water?
DeleteNever say never..she'll be back like a festering boil on Chris Christie's butt.
DeleteDid they offer to pay her, fly her in on a private jet, fully equipped, paid hotel room?
ReplyDeleteBendy straws were not available.
Delete"all she is now is a national punchline."
ReplyDeleteHey, buddy boy, NOBODY puts Baby in a corner!!! She is an INTERNATIONAL punchline and worked very hard to earn that designation. Give her the respect - or lack thereof - to which she is entitled!
Is it just me, or does she get prettier and younger looking with every passing day? (Ignoring the unfortunate and unsightly weight gain, of course. Yikes!)
Anonymous 2:15:
DeleteSarah sure is an International Punchline. I have a friend in Germany, and they use "Sarah Palin" to describe someone who does, or says something ridiculous.
Oh ouch! Du Haust! Why do you hate me?
DeleteWhere's Sarah Palin? The question should be where's Todd when Sarah Palin was campaigning in 2008? Well Boys Will Be Boys.

Open letter to the pre-failed candidate Mike Huckabee
Dear Huck,
Just because you think something in your head doesn't mean it's a good idea to say it out loud.
Your pal,
Bel
Mike, does this imply that you spend your time thinking about naked, underaged girls?
DeleteOnly when he and other Republicnas aren't thinking about underage boys and hiding money.
DeleteIf he really said that it sounds awfully sinful.
DeleteBeaglemom
Despite the many awful things that have escaped his mean mouth, it's almost difficult to believe he'd say something as tacky and disrespectful toward people who are transgender. But, alas, Beaglemom, he DID say it and was 'proud' of himself to boot.
DeleteYep, the very same guy who defends his own son for hanging and slitting the throat of a stray dog while at Boy Scout camp as a 'counselor'. He has tried to spin it as merciful euthanasia. Such a disgusting person and his odious behavior was obviously passed down to his children.

“I’m aware of no one in the Republican Party’s leadership who communicates with Gov. Palin or her team.”
ReplyDeleteHeck, Fox News doesn't call her any more and she supposedly has a contract with them. She was on Hannity in January. Then, zilch.
I'm shocked, shocked I tell you that many in the Republican Party are finally figuring it out that Sarah Palin was never going to run for any office, ever, and has been just grifting them for PAC money she can use for personal reasons! Wow. Just stunning how slow to grasp Palin's ulterior motives they have been. Eff them all!
ReplyDeleteGive them a break...its the Slow crowd. On second thought,never mind.
DeleteWhere's Sarah? She must be at the bbq in the lower 48 celebrating Celebrate Life? Why? Where are you Palins? I'll tell your mom to bring home a plate for you guys in Wasilla.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to bring Bristol a slice of the 4 layer Celebrate Life cake.
DeleteMaybe we should ask if anyone has seen a pickup truck with a 'mobile' Palin billboard hanging around casino parking lots, Kroger store grand openings, bingo halls...the earthquake for Palin group seems to know where she is heading!
DeleteMaybe she has no funds to get back to the Alaaska where people just love her, they told her to use local government funds to build her house.
DeleteWell, her PAC has dwindled almost down to $0. Last December, it was around $825,000. $he had spent almost $3,500,000 on postage and trips and consultants fees. So, this time around, $he is out of $$$ - especially considering the expensive engagement ring $he gave to Dumbkota to give to Bar$Tool.
DeleteSeriously, how could she spend that much? Sure she had consultants and Crawford, but that money was laundered directly to HER. Even the pees are catching on, even some of her most loyal.
DeleteShe's standing at the Walmart exit somewhere in kenfucky,flying a sign. Need $$ for gas. Blowjobs $5.
DeleteNow that $arah doesn't have a wedding or a bbq or what not to plan, maybe she'll run for President or Senate or any of them, all of them.
ReplyDeleteI thought she was going to marry a Marine and run for something. What happened to that great plan? Didn't the GOP fight tooth and nail to get an invite to the Wedding of the Century?
DeleteWhat happened to all the gifts she was to return? didn't Marina send out the thank you notes?
I believe Sarah went to Willow's high school graduation.
ReplyDeleteIn the living room?
DeleteWillow got a GED.
Lol...
Deletewillow did the same correspondence classes bristol completed. Easy workbooks with the books...look up the answers. Can take the test in front of a parent. lol
DeleteTaking it in front of HER parents ain't gonna help. No willow Jesus rode a dinosaur, remember? With an ak47 in one hand and a red white and blue bible in the other?
DeleteWhere's Sarah? Ask Marina Lupas.
ReplyDeleteUh oh...momma tagged your bff!
DeleteOr Frozen Ground! Marina and Todd dropped her off in the wilderness! Oy!
DeleteShe and her family are living their vibrant lives don't cha know?
ReplyDeleteVibrantly hiding.
DeleteAnd gulping inaudibly.
DeleteShe's shopping for a new fridge. I saw her.
DeleteSnark
Or in an insane asylum!
DeleteI think Sarah is looking for another combat vet war hero to bring back to Alaska?
ReplyDeleteI'd say that was a fish or cut bait warning from the GOP. Her grifting must be (in their perception) cutitng into their take for legit candidates. And they want EVERY LAST DIME.
ReplyDelete"Did not attend." "Was not invited."
ReplyDeleteTomato tomahto.
Ding!
DeleteExactly, Nefer.
DeleteI don't believe she's been on Fox News either since her disastrous rambling word psycho babble she spewed in Iowa. She went on Hannity the Monday (or Tuesday) after to do damage control. It didn't work. I watched it and even Hannity wanted to just get it over with. Palin was angry, combative, never smiled, and glared into the camera. She also told a good whopper. She said the TelePrompTer she used in the acceptance speech at the RNC convention stopped working and she just had to wing it. Lie! Republican officials who were there disputed that. I'm telling you, if you can find that 'interview' with Hannity after the Iowa speech, watch it. It is classic Palin.
ReplyDeleteEspecially bad whopper since Sarah claims that she does not "need" to use a teleprompter.
DeleteBeaglemom
I think this is the video.
Deletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOs19LYkjC4
She looks terrible, hung over, is defensive, and gets rattled by Sean asking her about running in 2016.
$arah makes is sound like, "oh yeah, I'm going to the shore for vacation this year", like it's no big deal.
She references herself as part of the "deep bench"
HOOHAH, and bullshit $arah
You know, and we know there is ZERO chance of the resurrection of Queen Esther, the failed, quitter, drug addict, sociopathic idiot from Wasilla
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOs19LYkjC4
May be they told her to show up to speak at an event? Security heightened! Shhh! Don't tell her she's speaking at the best asylum in USA!
DeleteLol...oh that soul be awesome! Call TMZ
DeleteSarah is a teenager in every sense of the word and should neither be heard, nor seen.
ReplyDeleteSarah? Probably working on her spanky new tel evangelistic persona and book, show, tour, teachings and healing's with pure Organic Alaskan Moose Snake Oil. That's all that's left for her to score the big bucks! And baby I bet she can smell the money a roll'in in all tax free and purdy like. Hey if she can't get the donations being a fake politician, reality star, political commentator, author, professional victim and general pain in the butt there's always Sister Sarah and her fake traveling religious side show. I'm mean you all know how religious she is.. right.
ReplyDeleteTodd? Probably at rainbow lodge with his girlfriend. Wasn't there a report about his girlfriend being preggers back sometime?
I think Todd sold his ownership share of Rainbow Lodge.
DeleteI heard Todd sold the Rainbow place and he sells women. Strangers, mothers, daughters, all of them. It makes more sense Todd has a boyfriend. Todd chews, not many ladies like that. He is a man's man, with a high voice. Todd and his sweetie could pay a surrogate.
DeleteDouble ouch!
DeleteI damn near did a spit take when they suggested $arah routinely turns down invitations to speak.
ReplyDeleteThey need to clarify with:
Palin routinely turns down invitations when the organizers refuse to pay her to speak, pay for a private jet to fly her and her family to the event, pay for five star hotel accommodations and refuse to pretend that she isn't a money hungry opportunist.
Slightly OT:
ReplyDeleteI've noticed that Palin isn't one of the foremost right-wing gay haters so much. That specific plateau is left to others. Certainly she spouts enough anti-gay rhetoric to keep her teabagger bona fides from tarnishing, but even Palin has limited energy, and we're not worth substantial spending to her. She comes nowhere near the white-hot vigor regarding it as a Huckabee, a Santorum, a Tony Perkins, Bryan Fischer or a Ken Cuccinelli.
No, Palin's most focused enmity is toward Obama, the preeminent figure who thwarted her own political ascension, and thus she is mostly content to leave the gay bash-work to, for instance, a Duck Dynasty ally. We don't supply the element of personal grievance the President does, so we don’t merit pride of placement on her hate list. For that to change I suppose she'd have to be embarrassed by, for instance, Todd or Track found having taken up with a man.
Sarah will FUCK anything anyway she can ...
DeleteBut not who she wants to FUCK most cuz he doesn't think about that cunt EVER!!
Comedy hour here.
ReplyDeleteYES.. Some funny shit...LOL..
DeleteThat is called a "gottcha" moment..lol
DeleteOT: Seth McFarlane gets a good one in on the Duck Dynasty guys at The Critics Choice Awards, where he was awarded the Louis VIII Genius Award:
ReplyDelete“Let’s not forget I’m being declared a genius on a network that airs ‘Duck Dynasty,’ a show whose cast members believe hurricanes are created by gay marriage,” MacFarlane said. “I wish I was joking.”

Don't these mainstream media people realize that Sarah Palin cannot afford to jump in the GOP klown kar? She would forfeit her cash cow: SarahPAC as a stream of income for herself and her family. Gee, some of them would have to get jobs.
ReplyDeleteBeaglemom
Just like Jebbie Bush.
DeleteYou mean Gibberish Bush!
DeleteWhen was her last appearance on Fox? How's renewal of that contract looking?
ReplyDeleteI don't think she has a contract with Fox. I think she is paid by the appearance on a "don't call us, we'll call you" basis.
DeleteAnd she posts this after the Star article and Jon Stewart. She's dangling the carrot to the faithful again, IMers.

Where's Sarah?
ReplyDeleteShe's not working on the View.
Nicole Wallace has that job.
She's not working for Alaska. She QUIT that job.
DeleteShe's been behind the wheel going in circles!
DeleteSo that's what the army helicopter was doing! Looking for Sarah!
DeleteI look at that above photo of her and all I can think of is 'goof ball'!
ReplyDeleteI like the donkey one, myself.
DeleteGryphen, the byline for that article is "BY DAVID LIGHTMAN AND SEAN COCKERHAM, McClatchy Washington Bureau".

She's pimping her pedophile daddy on FB in conjunction with a Disney movie.
ReplyDeleteExpand that declaration!
DeleteLMAO Love the screen grab, G! I can see the stupid oozing from her pores. The voices in her head are going "Dang, fox kicked me to the curb, I'm the laughing stock of the country, and not even my own party mentions me anymore" Time for more vaseline on the lips and air out those foam ta ta's.
ReplyDeleteA bit more of this drifting towards obscurity and Palin is going to turn into a bigger haz-ben than Bachmann
ReplyDelete4:23 above, with the $3.5Million spent on trips and consultants and postage: maybe she saw the writing on the wall and wanted to get out as much $$$ as she possibly could, and hide it somewhere, so she has a 'rainy day fund' for when she does not get any monies anymore from her daft followers?
ReplyDeleteI also cannot imagine where/wha she could possibly spend that much money. OTOH, maybe because of that take-out, she has no more $$$ to pay her 'consultants' this time around, and that is why she is spouting such total drivel.
Oh, I just thought of something: Hastert spent $3.5Million on hush money for that one boy - the other one has not asked for anything as far as we know.
Maaaaybeee $carry is in the same predicament - being blackmailed for something or another? (She will have trouble paying for all the other demands that will come after this...

ReplyDeletePalin is officially too crazy for the GOP??
At a time when their current 2016 hopefuls are all gibbering idiots, religious kooks, Tea Party poopers and/or under investigation if not already indicted ...
Palin is too crazy even for the GOP??
From 2008 V.P. candidate to uninvitable -- quite a fall from gross.
Poor thing. Find a place to call home, unpack and conduct yourself like a mother and lady. Write a book about your life before and how you are going to make a difference. A new start Bristol. Used it well and think of your son.
ReplyDeleteMy response is after seven years finally Sarah Palin has gone away.
ReplyDeleteJune 2. Gov. Rick Scott's Florida Economic Growth Summit.

I had to laugh, the summit is at Disneyland. Fitting all the clowns will be there in fantasy land, like their "policies".
Sarah is going to have to come up with a new scam. Wonder who won the hockey stick contest? No one.
