Pardon Jaybird, but Sully is an equal opportunity questioner of Palin. You seem to want Plain's Trig-based lies to be somehow excluded from the referendum of her performance.... but that won't happen.
okfine, but the process of meritocracy allows Sully to investigate her outrageous lies.
She doesn't get a by.
I think she is done, anyways.
I don't think Krauthammer and Douthat can resurrect her if she doesn't want it.
;)
Lol, perhaps this is more accurate....
I guess then Mark might be more correct that Palin is just a petty grifter that has gotten by on her looks, until Team McCain and the conservative sith lords tapped her for national office.
I especially liked the personality disorder that forces her to lie constantly.
That makes sense.
And that is the real question at the heart of this post, inspite of you throwing chaff about politician's personal lives.
Sure politicians might lie.....but she lies stupidly, when it is obvious she can be factchecked and caught. Her story of Trig's birth is some sort of lie. Her story about why she resigned is a lie.
Can a stupid person be elected president?
And should they?
"I think that Palin *WAS* qualified to be President, which I’m sure will shock you."
QED.
Someone that thinks the WH has a "department of law" that will protect her from lawsuits and is stupid enough to lie like a rug on tv is simply not qualified to president.
She is stupid.
Why can't anyone come out and just admit it?
If you think the base is going to just forget about her you are as "low information" as she is.
SarahPAC? You might not care, but that isn't going to turn the tasp off for her millions of rabid fans.
"she is “just another”, I find the opposition to her to be disproportionate to what she actually is."
Let me use cw's analogy--
There was a slight chance that she would be vice president. The apoplexy was terror-based. It’s like if someone seriously proposes letting a chimpanzee land the passenger jet your traveling in. Your offended that someone would be so reckless with your safety and terrified that your fellow passengers might somehow be persuaded.
So no....she was not "just another". She is a deeply unqualified proud ignoramus and pathological liar who could have been one 72year-old-4x-cancersurvivor-heartbeat from the nuke launch codes.
No she won't. Right now she is like the alien shapeshifter in John Carpenter's The Thing. She just wants to sleep in the cold until she can come roaring back to claim her destiny.
She represents the death rattle of integrity in the GOP.
Jaybird, this post is about Palin.
That is fine if you wanna talk about serious issues.
But the 'gina is all Palin had.
So in the context of Palin there was simply nothing else to talk about.
Like I said, no we don't.
Scrutinly is going to ensure the GOP doesn't front a horroshow like Palin again. And the sooner you can admit, my little conservo droogies, the sooner the healing can begin.
She mattered. And Dr. K and Ross Imhotep will resurrect her if they can. Never doubt it.
You think about a person with jesus-take-the-wheel moments being a 72year-old 4x-melanoma survivor heartbeat away from the nuke launch codes. You think about a person that believes there is a department of law that would protect her from lawsuits if she was in the WH.
She mattered and she still matters and I sure am not going to trust the GOP again until you and Douthat admit it.
but that was all she had to talk about.....jaybird....she thinks that there is a DEPARTMENT OF LAW that would protect her from lawsuits if she was president......she had NOTHING.
lol, you act like there is something n/e one COULD do about this. Are you going to force politicians kids to be off limits?
Just how would you do that?
Tell yah what jaybird, if you put crazy lies out in the press about your kids, deal with it.
Palin knew Bristol was preggers and Trig was downs....if she actually put them first, she wouldn't have run this time. If she actually cared about her party or her country she would have kited back to Alaska when Parker suggested a graceful climbdown for her.
You guys talk like scrutiny of their lives would keep a GOOD candidate from running. It just seems to screen out the trash.
;)
She put the story out there.
No one tortured it out of her.
Sully was right to question it.
She is a an apparent pathological liar.
I guess you think, Jaybird, that patholigical liars should have a right to be president too.
Affirmative action FTW!
Guess what else my little conservo droogies?
This will make for a far better class of politicians.
I betcha the next party figurehead the GOP plucks from obscurity will actually have some policy chops, be able to cite a few books..... and....like Caesar's wife, be above reproach.
hahaha!
lol
Nope.
Palin put that insane story out there that she travelled cross country for over 10 hours leaking amniotic fluid with a high risk pregnancy of a special needs child. It is her responsibility to give a rational explanation, otherwise Sully and anyone else is perfectly justified in thinking she is insane, and therefore a danger to the rest of us citizens, since She has a fanatical following.
Sully got spoofed because she concealed her pregnancy for seven months. But she easily could have cleared up the controversy with her records.
Palin remains dangerous to America as long as the elite overlords of the GOP, Krauthammer, Douthat, Kristol, Rush, etc REFUSE to acknowledge Palins profound unfitness. I suspect they are planning to refurbish her for future use. They perpetuate the myth that She just needs some studying and book larnin', and that She was damaged by the evuul libruul media.
The terrifying thing about Palin is not her deep and profound unfitness to lead.....it is the fanaticism of her followers. You and Scott are cut from this same cloth, Mark. You will always excuse Her.
Suddenly there was a cry of "Hiya! Hiya!" ("She! She!"), and thereupon the entire crowd of spectators instantly precipitated itself upon the ground, and lay still as though it were individually and collectively stricken [brain]dead.
I give thanks to Allah the Compassionate the Caring for Sully.
For She will never pass the Gates of Hamunaptra as long as Sully and the Medjai live.
;)
Dude, she had a jesus-take-the-wheel moment in her resignation speech. She said she "prayed on it". Notably excised from the official transcript....guess why?
Cuz Jesus is a superbad driver. He just drove us into the ditch on Eye-Rack.
She is a fundamentalist evangelical christian, although her handlers tried hard to downplay that. Her church in Alaska held exorcisms, advertized for gay "conversion" seminars, and had congregants that spoke in tongues.
I think....she wrote that speech her bigself, in a snit over the Trig photoshops and the Team McCain tell-all hints in the news. Perhaps that was the blackmail.
Schmidt told her to gtfo or he would spill the beans on what really when on.
He's a better American than Douthat if that is true.
Wake up.
She rubbed your nose in it here, E.D.
From the Kate Snow interview.
“But as for whether another pursuit of national office, as she did less than a year ago when she joined Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., in the race for the White House, would result in the same political blood sport, Palin said there is a difference between the White House and what she has experienced in Alaska. If she were in the White House, she said, the “department of law” would protect her from baseless ethical allegations.“I think on a national level, your department of law there in the White House would look at some of the things that we’ve been charged with and automatically throw them out,” she said.
There is no “Department of Law” at the White House.”
This a deeply ignorant, impetuous and shallow person who is also apparently a pathological liar.
Palin crack-dealers like Douthat tried to use misdirection to focus on the media attacks, but the truth is this person has no business anywhere near the WH ever. Honest republicans like Colin Powell took one look at her and ran like scalded cats. The crack-dealers stayed on.
And stfu about sloganeering democracy vs meritocracy, Jaybird.
Douthat got pwned on that already in comments on this thread.
Douthat continued to try to promote Palin even after she was certainly revealed as profoundly unfit. That is putting some personal agenda over the good of our country.
Why does Ross Douthat hate his country?
Noah gotz the 411.
It isn't class....its elites in a meritocracy.
Palin represented the impossible dream for Douthat....a commoner that could lead.
There are many components to l33tness....IQ is an important one. But once an individual is upper right tail, they are automatically elite.
The cake is a lie.
;)
No, this explains it better. Demonic possession.
Douthat obfusticates the truth as usual, so as not to alienate his base. It is not about "class", it is the foreverwar between the haves and the have-nots, the aristoi and the commoners, the "natural aristocracy" and the Noble Yeoman Farmers, the elitists and the populists.
No, Helen..this isn't about "class".
Its about an ancient unkillable demon from the dawn of history, Kylon of Croton....and the myth that all men are created equal. You might remember Kylon as the pissed-off plutocrat that raised a mob of local farmers to protest his failed attempt to get into Pythagoras' school for rulers by chopping up the teachers with scythes and burning down the school.
This is about the aristoi versus the commoners, the NYFs (noble yeoman farmers, as Thom Jefferson termed them).
Or elitists vs populists.
The truth being, the NYFs don't have teh substrate to be Jefferson's "natural aristocracy."
It continues to amaze me that populists cite Jefferson as their idealogical patron, when “natural aristocracy” is a clear reference to genetic (talent) and memetic (virtue) inheritance.
Douthat’s Jackson reference is riddickulous as well….Andy Jackson would have told Palin to go home and take care of her children and he would have shot Glenn Beck on sight as a dirty treasonous seccessionist.
The founders and framers were all elites.
They had to be.
