It looks like the pundits are still trying to make sense out of Sarah Palin's Iowa speech. Update!

I like that the pundits are remarking that this is really not that unusual for a Palin speech. The only difference seems to be that since she was teasing a 2016 presidential run, people were listening.

"Did anybody ever think she was ever going to run for President?" Asks one panelist.

And the answer to that is "Yes there were." That is how we separate the morons from the rest of the of us.

I will also disagree with the last pundit who seems to believe that the Republicans have five or six actually qualified candidates to run for President in 2016. I think that is seriously fudging the numbers.

Did you notice that the brawl was brought up? Yep that is now part of the Palin family brand.

As is, unfortunately for Palin's future as a political grifter, the Iowa speech.


By the way the title of this Spin Cycle segment was "Palin Pounded by Pundits."

Not the kind of pounding that her former male supporters used to fantasize her receiving I'm sure.

Update: Apparently Kurtz received so much blowback about this segment that he felt the need to kinda sorta apologize for it.

      The Cartoon published in Sarah's "Hometown" newspaper,the "Frontiersman" is Comedy Gold!!! It depicts a frumpy,fugly Palin,speaking ":PIG"LATIN.....for the words "Word Salad".This brught back fond memories of my childhood,when my parents would speak "Pig Latin" to keep us nosey children from knowing what they were saying.Being that we were "very brilliant".we broke the code very early on! Do people in Alaska speak "Pig Latin".Regardless,the Cartoon's comedy will still fly over silly Sarah's gigantic head!

    I don't want to be a vindictive person or sink to Palin's level but ... I must confess that it sure is great FINALLY seeing her get buried under all this long-overdue criticism -- and from her 'fellow patriots' no less!

    But I really, REALLY want to know the whole behind-the-scenes story of why it's suddenly being unleashed now.

    Seems to me like whoever's been pulling the strings all these years to keep her idiotic 'opinions' on the front page and her bony ass out of jail has decided to cut her loose.

      People have speculated that Lowell Bud Paxson was behind the scenes and forced McCain to choose Palin. Palin did name "her" son Tri-G Paxson Van Palin. Bud Paxson died January 9th, 2015. So he died less than a month before the right wing cut loose on Sarah? Coincidence?

    So, what are you going to do, $arah? Keep up your ankle-biter speeches that you have all the answers? Seems to me, you run or else, after eight years of this nonsense. It's called "put up or shut up," really, it is that simple. You are pop culture and it s to laugh at.....that this is the "fame" you wanted is yagaddabekiddinme worthy. Whatever brings in the money, right?

    Best comment I saw all day on Brancy's blog post, can't remember which site, "when you start out, Mom says....try your own thoughts, you're an adult now," or something to that effect.

    You just have to LAUGH. You GO, $arah, you have no one but yourself to blame or who, in your god forsaken world, is advising you.

    The Kurtz apology makes me wonder if everyone who finally spoke the truth is going to start backing off their criticism now. Sometimes I wonder if Palin threatens to blow the lid of baby gate and other scandals herself, exposing the depth of her instability and the seriousness of the mistake the Republicans made in selecting her as McCain's running mate.

    Well, it looks like Fox's official stance on the vaccination issue is DO IT. When you've got Kelly AND Bill supporting and encouraging it, it's official. I suspect Tundra Twat will break with that and go rogue and tell people not to just to 'stick it' to Fox. She's that pigheaded and vindictive.

    Fox’s Megyn Kelly Tells Parents to Vaccinate Their Kids: Some Things Require ‘Big Brother’

    ...As a mother of three, Kelly wanted to make sure to go “on the record” and state that she “vaccinated all of them. on time as the doctor prescribed.” She said she sympathized with parents who have been “given bad information” about vaccines supposedly causing autism and other problems. “Now there is good information,” she said, calling the science “certain” on the issues and saying she does not oppose mandatory vaccinations for children.

    O’Reilly seemed to agree with Kelly, noting that 90% of parents “do the right thing” by vaccinating their kids while only 10% don’t. But that 10% is enough to cause some major problems.

    “This is going to be a big issue for politicians going forward, because it’s about Big Brother,” Kelly said. “But on the other hand, some things do require some involvement of Big Brother.”

    Watch video below, via Fox News:

    http://www.mediaite.com/tv/foxs-megyn-kelly-tells-parents-to-vaccinate-their-kids-some-things-require-big-brother/

    And then the otherwise politically nutty right winger doctor puts on his doctor hat and suddenly sounds like an adult person.

    Dr. Ben Carson Weighs in on the Vaccination Debate

    ...“Although I strongly believe in individual rights and the rights of parents to raise their children as they see fit, I also recognize that public health and public safety are extremely important in our society,” Carson told The Hill in a statement.

    “Certain communicable diseases have been largely eradicated by immunization policies in this country and we should not allow those diseases to return by foregoing safe immunization programs, for philosophical, religious or other reasons when we have the means to eradicate them,” he added.

    http://www.mediaite.com/online/dr-ben-carson-weighs-in-on-the-vaccination-debate/

    And here's some staggering numbers for ya.

    Vaccination Has Saved 732,000 Children's Lives Since 1994

    http://www.livescience.com/45111-national-vaccination-effects.html

    Vaccines bring 7 diseases under control

    http://www.unicef.org/pon96/hevaccin.htm

    And since there's a media lie about President Obama's stance on this issue, suggesting that he said it causes autism, here's the video to refute that stuff out there in the cybersphere, in exactly his own words.

    Besides the brawl, the FUC_ sign has to be having an effect on this pounding of Palin. Both episodes underline Palin's utter lack of gravitas.

    Tthe pundits have a growing sense that it is safe to laugh at Palin because the blowback as been minor or non-existent. People in power in the GOP have no problem throwing their weight around, but the fact is the seem indifferent even though in the 2008-2014 period, they sprinkled Palin with fairy dust.

    Sarah Palin must be in a state of shocked disbelief at her loss of Teflon coating. That bodes well for a spectacular debacle at Cambridge University.

    Did that guy on FOX accuse Sarah Palin of doing a "tease act" in 2012?

    Is he saying Sarah is flirtacious with almost any member of the opposite sex and pretending this tease is only innocent behavior, often with the primary intention of getting these old men to donate money to SarahPac, buy a yearly subscription to her internet video show, buy her books, go to her book signing events, pay to hear her word salad at her speaking engagements, beg her to run for president on her Facebook and religiously kiss her ass on her Facebook by telling Sarah she is qualified to lead the free world?

    I never looked at it that way, I guess Sarah Palin is a tease?

    Those three female panelists tore into Sarah. She's going to be fuming at them. It's obvious she's served her purpose at Fox and said goodbye.

    It's great that Joni Ernst is now getting Fox's praise and is their new girl. She's getting great reviews from Republicans and doesn't have a brawling family to load her down, nor has 'gutter' language. She remains a lady.

    Huckabee is giving clues as to what sort of presidential candidates one should be, and the Anchorage Saturday Night Drunken Brawl won't cut it. Poor Bristol, desperately holding on to a thread, pretending she's all about national interests, but couldn't even find a babysitter for Tripp while she cussed and drank like a sailor.

    Sarah can't stop destroying herself. She can't let anything go. She has made herself a laughing stock and still wants to remain relevant.

    Yet she feels no remorse or guilt or has a conscience for all the destruction she's done. No one wants to have anything to do with her. Her defenders are gone; she's hurt so many people with her tongue. She can't even remain loyal to Fox News. She has to swipe at everyone. Her family use her, her kids seem to loathe her, and she obviously uses them and politically pimps them out for her personal ambition. She can't work like an average person, as she has to keep at least one child on her leash, pulling them with her everytime she goes somewhere. She can't be seen alone, or work alone, or give a speech alone; she can't speak or contribute without naming one of her kids or her husband. They are included in the whole package of Sarah.

    If the nation wanted Sarah to be POTUS, it's a package deal. Can't get just Sarah, oh no, it has to be the whole fan-dang family entourage, constantly sucking attention, latched onto her coattails, dressing up like models, sucking their lips up like pouty fish for the cameras, getting plastic surgery, hopping on the free private jets and cashing in on the Palin name. Todd must have his own office wherever Sarah works; she has to have at least one adult Palin/Heath with her at all times.

    Every middle class working stiff has to go to work by themselves, and survive the long working hours by themselves, and get from A to B by themselves, for meagre wages. They don't have people send them money, gifts, and praises every day. They don't drag their kids with them to work and demand their employers and employees to serve their kids as babysitters and entertainment. They have a work ethic that the Palins never understood.

      $carah is keeping Bristles in the public eye, with a view to her running for office in the future. Imagine, Bristles in political office maybe mayor of Wasilla or even Governor of Alaska? $carah must be even more delude than we know. Bristles had no talent to break into TV or movies with her reality shows. Everything she did flopped big time. No talent whatsoever and no personality. So, what's left - politics? ALL her pregnancies would be exposed, plus all her one night stands, trial husbands. After the fiasco of her mother, no Palin will get a free pass ever again. It is too destructive.

    Fox news must be finished with Palin's word salads too. However I did not hear any unfair nor harsh criticisim from the panel who were factual. The panel did not mention Palin brought her kids into the spotlight including reality shows unlikeother politicians. Palin even had Bristol on the Oprah show to nationally pledge no more sex until marraige.

    Too bad the brawl was dismissed in reference to the CNN reporter as if her speaking out the revirginized Bristol cold cocked a man while cursing up a storm drunk as a skunk.

    The Palin kids are not entitled to reverance and doing as they please while grabbing or thrust in the spotlight. Damn Palin even featured them in her garage holiday videos, posted bikini pictires to swimdle more money.

She's just a distraction from everyday politics no more than daily weather is really of no major consequence for those who aren't bringing in a crop or tilling the soil. Nobody who matters really gives a damn other than the other grifters who are afraid of a few bucks being wasted on her PAC, and she's not worthy of being considered a stalking horse for any of the likely candidates.

    Sarah is a mean spirited "Chance, the gardner," from Jerzy Kosinski's "Being There." There are many parallels between the two: both characters were given fancy clothing to wear by their benefactor, both had/have low IQ's. Both spoke gibberish that was interpreted as being meaningful, and both were erroneously thought to be intelligent by the fools in positions of power.
