Re: Ooof

I think she might be brain damaged.

She certainly has a high regard for herself...

Rule of Thumb: If the government isn't doing it, it's not against the First Amendment.

Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance and a deep need for admiration. They believe that they're superior to others and have little regard for other people's feelings. But behind this mask of ultra-confidence lies a fragile self-esteem, vulnerable to the slightest criticism.

Great. Now because of her First Amendment Rights, I can't say anything.

That's like saying Levi violated Bristol's First Amendment right to say "no."

I think Palin is a very reasonable prototype for what will remain of the Republican Party. Beyond the goofiness of suggesting that it's unconstitutional for the media to opine on a political figure's statements, I like the irony of the "ability to ask questions" part. I don't notice her making herself all that available to those who have legitimate question to ask her.

What a blockhead.

That is the sort of analysis that I'm embarrassed to read on like...ESPN forums.

What's worse, though, is the apologia from supporters who will go to great lengths to explain that while the statement may seem painfully stupid to a layperson, if you weren't so stupid yourself, you'd understand why it's a very thoughtful and profound position.

You'd think such a staunch supporter of the second amendment would of spent a few seconds glancing at the first one once in a while...

Sadly, this reminds me too much of political discussions with my extended family. Which is why I don't go to see them very often.

When Palin says something of such staggering ignorance, you just want to bang your head against the wall. Maybe exile isn't such a bad idea. I have some cousins who could accompany her.

Newfloridian, I'm transferring my response from the Ooof post here, too:
Actually there's something worse than narcissism. Borderline Personality Disorder really does lead people to believe that "Because I did it, it's right". Such folk do "splitting" -- a 3-year-old's view that everything and everyone is either ALL good or ALL bad.
So if there's a problem, and it's MY fault, then I'm bad. But I'm good, so it can't be MY problem, so it must be YOUR FAULT!
..., Bill Clinton!
Advice from hard-won personal experience -- DO NOT marry such a person.

Unbelievable. Except it's Palin we're talking about, so it's depressingly believable.

Freedom OF the Press????

I thought you said freedom FROM the Press!!!

Never Mind.....

Just remember yall. This is "Sarah being Sarah"

Lmaooooo

Ken Duberstein has now endorsed Obama.

Solution: Give Palin one of those meters and as she watches television she can turn it up or down to indicate the degree to which her Constitutional rights are being violated. You are welcome!

LOL HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!

She really is retarded.

seriously.

Palm, meet forehead.

Maybe Palin thought the subject was the Me First Amendment.

She also believes that she achieved the governorship once her pastor removed her evil spirits.
That close proximity to a country makes you an expert on that country.
That our leaders should be just like you and me- ie. average.
That McCain is a reformer.
That $150K on clothes and accessories is fine.
That politicians should bind themselves to ideology and "not blink".
That community activism is not serious.
That many citizens of this country are not real Americans.
That a cataclysmic war in the Middle East will usher in the End of Days.

Sarah Palin, frequently wrong, never in doubt.

All her initial supporters, including McCain, admired her confidence. The problem is that they assumed the confidence was based on competence. If McCain wins ... long live the King!

I have a friend who can relate to Palin. He grew up in a small town and thought he was one of the smartest people in the room. Later on in life it turned out that: 1) he underrated others in the room, and 2) they were very small rooms in a very small town.

Let her talk. She is sounding more like Dan Quayle everyday...wait a minute, that's an insult to Quayle!

Did her mother try to dry her off in the microwave once?
