Sarah Palin: Don't Blame Me

My God, she really does talk like that all the time.

Oh well, the good news is she is now a footnote.

obviously, my html skills suck.

What did you think about the newsweek article about Sarah Palin spending even more than what has been exposed?

Sarah Palin a person who talks about herself in the third person...egad. She is definatly a closed chapter in a book that never should have been written.

KT - Two questions for you:

What was the best assignment you've ever had as a reporter?

What is the one assignment you'd never had that you'd like to have?

I hope we're rid of her mangled syntax.

Who TF says "...he being..."? I mean damn.

The look on her face suggests she didn't comprehend just how divisive a figure she's become and it's only now starting to dawn on her. She is not a bright woman. Those who suggested she was owe us an apology.

"...John McCain, I believe, is the American hero. (...) He being so full of courage and wisdom and experience. That valor that he just embodies."
.
.
This is the republican's downfall in a nutshell. Palin lists the reasons why McCain should have won- and it's all about biography. The American people don't care, they want someone that will face our problems with well designed plans. Obama gave the impression that he'd formulate thoughtful, non-partisan, nuanced solutions -- McCain talked about personality.
.
We'll see if the repubs can re-group and, perhaps, bring fiscal conservatives back into the fold while booting the social conservatives- as I see it, that's the way they need to go (after 8 yrs).

I was actually reading it in Palin's dialect. I am glad we are done with that. The Newsweek story today though is just the beginning.

She literally talks that way all the time. 4 years of that would have been pretty awful.

David Frum was trying to warn the GOP away from Palin today:

KT -- I'm late to the party today, having slept off my post-election hangover on planes to lovely Cedar Rapids, IA.
But I wanted to join my voice to the chorus of thanks for bringing us "the inside scoop" on this election. Great job, and good luck!
Hope now you can get some rest and fun, without having to sacrifice all that campaign food.
Still waiting for those inside-the-plane photos, though...

Back on topic, Sarah Palin "splits". Everyone and everything is ALL good, or ALL bad. Since that thinking applies to herself, and she obviously considers herself "good", it follows that she quite literally can't do anything wrong -- If I (or these here "good" people) did it, it's right by definition. If there's a problem, that's the Democrats' fault.
The scary thing about such a person is that they can argue so forcefully and convincingly, because they really sincerely believe they're right -- NOT lying. The difference between her and some others I've known (I could name you a certain famous basketball coach) is that she's not smart enough to fool anyone smart.
People, political parties, and religions that think like that must not be entrusted with power.

Hey, does Babel Fish do a Palin-English translation? Because I cannot for the life of me figure out what she is saying there.

I'm glad she's out of the national political area for awhile, but I confess to being fascinated with the way she talks. She reads worse than she sounds, and so it's interesting that she can make something that isn't a sentence sound almost reasonable when she's saying it.
.
Like Bush she's incurious and ignorant, as opposed to unintelligent - though I don't suppose she's a mental giant, either. Also like Bush (or I should say...) Like Bush she shouldn't be misunderestimated also.
.
It's occurring to me just now how much she's like Diana Wales in some ways. Chosen for looks, undereducated, treated like an accessory, blamed when things don't go right for the principal, scheming, and very appealing to her constituency (I should admit, I guess, that I adored Diana).

Cliff
Shorter Palin=I had nothing to do with this debacle

Kathy, Interesting comparison with Diana.

Kathy, let's not write her off yet!
A scenario:
.
Felon Ted Stevens is re-elected. He is expelled by the Senate.
.
Special election time. Sarah runs for Senate (campaigns are more fun than governing) to "reform DC" by continuing to bring back pork to AK.
.
Back to the future with Caribou Barbie.

Kathy, she sounds better than she reads because she speaks with absolute confidence -- see my post above.

Joe, she's never in doubt, but often wrong.

Joe - agreed.
.
Andy - yeah, I think she'd probably run for Ted's seat. But I don't know she'd get it. Ted got re-elected (if that's true) because of seniority. SP doesn't have any, and Alaska just might realize they'd get more pork with a Democrat than with a Republican, under the circumstances. And it's all about pork in Alaska.

I seem to be having trouble with some of my sentences too but at least you guys know I can usually put a sentence together.

Palin in the Senate would be great for Dems. Let her be the face and voice of the Republican party for a generation I say.

BTW:
John McCain = Al Davis
Sarah Palin = DeAngelo Hall

Kathy, pardon the pun but something's not kosher with your logic. Regardless of party the new AK senator would have zero seniority.
.
I think they'd go for Sarah in a big way. She could do less damage to the state by being in DC than she can by being in Juneau.

Cincy

Ted Stevens=Michael Vick
Sarah Palin=Ocho Cinco

Special election time. Sarah runs for Senate (campaigns are more fun than governing) to "reform DC" by continuing to bring back pork to AK.
.
At which point the Senate censures the f--k out of her (or whatever they do in the Senate) in revenge for the dirty Presidential campaign she ran. I hope.

Kathy, rest assured you are one of the most legible commenters here.
