Train Wreck Whistles Into La-La-Land
The Sarah L Palin book tour express has crossed the borders of surrealism. She went on Rush Limbaugh’s show the other day and used 35 variations on the phrase “commonsense solutions” without suggesting a single real solution. Limbaugh called Going … Continue reading
Sarah Palin is a Wingnut
So Sarah Palin gives a shout-out to the “fair and balanced media folks” in Going Rogue, and surprise! They’re all right-wingers, including racists and rape-apologists along with the Faux Noise crew. Not only does Palin like Sean Hannity, she went … Continue reading
Politeness: Last Refuge of Idiots, pt 2
The Palin camp responded to the AP fact-check of Going Rogue by playing the politeness card. Teh Librul Media™ is just discriminating against Alaskan-Americans: “Imagine that,” the post read. “11 AP reporters dedicating time and resources to tearing up the … Continue reading
Morning Video
Egad. Even with Andrew Halcro reading Palin’s ghostwriter out loud, it’s still word-salad. Sarah has to explain all the complex relationships in her life before getting to the point. This kind of dissociative narration is indicative of Palin-Bachmann Syndrome™.
The Post In Which I Disagree With Media Matters
Julie Millican, to be exact. Over this: There are a lot of legitimate reasons to criticize Sarah Palin, her new book, and her policies, but you don’t have to stoop to sexism to do it. Newsweek‘s November 23 issue, however, … Continue reading
Politeness: Last Refuge of Idiots
Sarah Palin told Oprah that she was annoyed by Katie Couric’s question, “what books or magazines do you read?” because it is offensive to Alaskan-Americans. Seriously: “No, it was more like, ‘Are you kidding me? Are you really asking me? … Continue reading
Rush Limbaugh Calls Palin’s Book "Substantive"
The man who wrote The Way Things Ought To Be makes a hilarious claim for Going Rogue: Rush is betting it all on the teabagger demo. I wonder what he’ll say when Teh Train Wreck™ rolls into Iowa and collapses?
Histrionic Personality Disorder
After checking comments on my latest HuffPo article, Palin-Bachmann Syndrome™, I spotted a news item about Sarah Palin. It seems she was under a misapprehension that the McCain campaign had charged her $500,000 to vet her for VP. The McCain … Continue reading
Palin Flakes
It seems Sarah’s reputation for flaky behavior has Republican gubernatorial candidates shying away from inviting her to stump for them. This, after the New York Post reported that she’s not getting booked for speaking engagements because clients think she’s an … Continue reading
Palin Flakes
No, it’s not a breakfast cereal. It’s what she keeps doing: Organizers of an Anchorage event that has been billing Sarah Palin for weeks as a star speaker were left scrambling Wednesday after learning that the former governor won’t be … Continue reading
Sarah’s Wacky™ Gives Conservatives Second Thoughts
Why is Sarah Palin suddenly changing the subject? Her latest Facebook missive is a tirade against cap-and-trade legislation. Her “sources” are the Heritage Foundation and her own previous op-ed. She’s going back to the previous fail to change the subject … Continue reading
