It is obviously irrelevant. It is also amusing. I find it an especially entertaining way of confirming my left-wing intellectual urban bias(s).

Well, yeah, but even if I might think that in private, I’m not going to post it because it makes me look as petty as the typical Fox New “was that a terrorist fist bump?” story. Bristol getting pregnant in a “abstinence only” household being excepted because it demonstrates how completely useless and counterproductive that stance is in reality.

The fuckin’ politics!

People who act like that scare the Bejebees out of me…

Sarah Palin’s twitter :

Left’s failed economic policy dismisses will of independent Americans;our will is for our govt to back off,let work ethic & innovation soar!

Is a momma grizzly not entitled to the soaring ethical and innovation of her land?

Particularly when working hard at greed and innovating new ways of committing fraud worked so well!!

Sarah Palin:

The publishing world is LEAKING out-of-context excerpts of my book w/out my permission? Isn’t that illegal?

For someone who really likes freedom, she sure wants leaking unpublished book excepts to be illegal… And I love how she puts her ignorance on display on twitter, such a class act!

The “publishing world” should have leaked the entire book, so it could be n context y’know?

I can beat Obama in 2012, Palin says!

ABC News:

Palin said her decision would involve “evaluating whether she could bring unique qualities to the table,” admitting the biggest challenge would be proving her record.

“I know that a hurdle I would have to cross, that some other potential candidates wouldn’t have to cross right out of the chute, is proving my record,” the former Alaska governor told Draper. "That’s the most frustrating thing for me – the warped and perverted description of my record and what I’ve accomplished over the last two decades.

“It’s been much more perplexing to me than where the lamestream media has wanted to go about my personal life. And other candidates haven’t faced these criticisms the way I have.”

Yeah, no one’s been at all concerned about Obama’s record. Also I’d love to see her run for President while slinging “lamestream” all over the place.

God, I hope she wins the nomination. If the economy stays in the crapper, Obama is in trouble, but I’m pretty damn confident he could still beat the shit out of Palin.

Gus_Smedstad1 · 2010-11-19T17:58:36.000Z

Yeah, she brings some unique qualities to the table. Stupidity. The willingness to lie even about easily verifiable things. Incoherent speeches. Inability to stick out even a single term of elected office.

You know why other candidates haven’t faced the kind of criticism you have Sarah? Because they’re not half as awful as you are.

I think Murkowski represents a significant segment of moderate Republicans who despise everything about Palin and cripple her chances in a general election.

Plus, presidential elections bring out the huge number of minority voters who tend to not notice/care when midterms roll around.

IainC · 2010-11-19T18:13:02.000Z

She will get shredded in a primary by any of the senior Republicans. Someone with media savvy and an aggressive campaign style like Huckabee or Romney would scent the blood in the water from an ocean away.

DragonPup · 2010-11-19T19:03:43.000Z

Huckabee maybe. But Romney was soundly beat in the 2008 primary despite throwing utterly insane amounts of his own money into the race.

Adam_Eayrs · 2010-11-19T20:56:27.000Z

I thought this was an interesting hypothesis for Romney’s fake-ness:

The New Republic:

I was not a fan of the Kill Bill movies, but I did appreciate one scene, near the end of KB2, that displayed the genius for pop banter that had characterized Quentin Tarantino’s earlier films. In it, David Carradine explains (not entirely accurately) that Superman is unique in the comic-book universe: Whereas most superheroes’ secret identities (Bruce Wayne, Peter Parker) are their true identities–the people they were before their parents were murdered or they were bitten by radioactive spiders or exposed to gamma rays or what have you–Superman was born Superman. It’s Clark Kent that is the invented alias, the pose, the “costume.” And in the way Superman plays Kent–weak, self-doubting, cowardly–we see his critique of the human race.

It occurred to me that the same is true of Romney’s desperate, if never terribly persuasive, impersonation of a conservative Republican. That persona --angry, simple-minded, xenophobic, jingoistic-- is exactly what Romney (who is himself cultured, content, and cosmopolitan) imagines the average GOP voter to be.

From The New Republic

That’s pretty funny. Thanks.

the warped and perverted description of my record and what I’ve accomplished over the last two decades.

The first thing on everyone’s list of what they want in a president:

“Cuts and runs if people say bad things about them.”

How can someone who fucking quit a political appointment think they could win an election, much less the biggest election on Earth?

Seriously, Sarah, what have you accomplished in the last two decades? Oh, I know you’ve made yourself very wealthy and famous. No, I mean the other kind of accomplishment, the kind that makes things better for other people?

Tankero · 2010-11-20T06:11:30.000Z

You have to realize that she exists in a bubble; she’s paying a top-flight of image and political consultants to tell her whether she should keep on employing said top-flight of image and political consultants as she pursues the highest office in the land. She’s not smart enough to come up with anything she says, let alone with any intentions of her own. She had the money, now she’s spending it, and her robes have never been so magnificent.
