We’re All Alaskans Now
Granted, my state competes with the 49th for alphabetical supremacy; but Arizona , the other ‘A’ state, has become a watershed in the strange career of Sarah Palin. First she endorsed John McCain, the establishment candidate fighting off an insurgent … Continue reading
More Teabaggers Failing – Palin Edition
Sarah Palin endorsed the “demon-sheep” establishment candidate Carly Fiorina this week, causing many of her supporters to complain right on her Facebook page. Of course, the whole purpose of Palin’s Facebook-centered campaign is to avoid exactly that sort of confrontation, … Continue reading
Sarah Palin’s Rider
Ever since I made my first Sarahpalooza! video at her book signing in Birmingham, I have wished to see Sarah Palin’s rider. Yesterday, part of it leaked via some enterprising college kids aware of Supreme Court precedent and a helpfully … Continue reading
Murdoch’s Palin Fail
I’m predicting that Murdoch’s deal with Sarah Palin will turn out exactly like his deal for MySpace: an expensive, public humiliation. For those who haven’t heard, Sarah’s new show will include interviews with L.L. Cool J and Toby Keith. Actually, … Continue reading
Morning Awful
Palin’s “hit list” for November. With people throwing bricks through office windows and cutting gas lines, you’d think she wouldn’t up the ante on eliminationist rhetoric. But then you would be a rational person, which she decidedly isn’t.
Palin’s Party Prattle
Sarah wants a new third party to, y’know, make Republicans have to debate harder an’ stuff: ThinkProgress has a list of her statements about a third party; up til now she has taken the more popular position among teabaggers that … Continue reading
idiocracy
The Texas School Board has officially jumped the couch: 9:40 – We’re just picking ourselves up off the floor. The board’s far-right faction has spent months now proclaiming the importance of emphasizing America’s exceptionalism in social studies classrooms. But today … Continue reading
The Last Sarah Palin Post I Wish I Ever Had To Write
Today’s lesson in political message warfare is the word millstoning. Often confused with character assassination, millstoning is the practice of turning someone’s own signature phrase against them. Admittedly, I coined this particular verb; but I did it for Barack Obama’s … Continue reading
Sarah’s Reality
She’s flirted with tea party televangelism; now she wants her own reality show. Somehow, it seems to me the natural end of the Sarah Palin story is a non-reality-based “reality show.” Think “John and Kate” with extra moose-hunting. What’s sad … Continue reading
In Other Words
Someone is eventually going to have to put subtitles on videos like this: Translated to English: it’s okay because Rush Limbaugh and Family Guy are political while Rahm Emanuel isn’t. Or something. And you will hear her true-believing cult use … Continue reading
Teh Train Wreck™
The presumptive 2012 Republican nominee actually has 29% of Americans convinced she might be qualified to be president. This is the frightening result of a Washington Post-ABC poll. Did I mention that I live among an unusual concentration of such … Continue reading
