So in between the never-ending stream of lies in her ghostwritten memoir, what I’m gathering is that Sarah Palin learned the completely wrong lesson from the 2008 campaign. She clearly believes the McCain campaign reigned her in too much, not allowing her to really get out there and mix it up.
Excellent.
If it’s one thing I hope to see in the future, if she has to be a part of our discourse, is Sarah Palin telling us what’s really on her mind. This is an absolute idiot who’s dead set on removing all doubt from the American people as to just how moronic she really is.
As a (mostly) political blogger, this is like the dealer on the corner telling the junkie he’s getting his supply for free from now on.
UPDATE: Yes, please, more Sarah talk.
Elsewhere in this volume she talks about creationism, saying she “didn’t believe in the theory that human beings — thinking, loving beings — originated from fish that sprouted legs and crawled out of the sea” or from “monkeys who eventually swung down from the trees.”
If you, like me, have a perverse interest in cultists and how they think you should be sure to follow the Conservatives4Palin blog. It’s like watching actual brain matter dropping out of ears.
From Conservatives 4 Palin, a post from someone called A:
“Sarah is right.
That should be the default reaction to Sarah.
If I don’t agree at first, after thinking and understanding, I realize, Sarah is right.
I learned that if Sarah does something that I don’t understand, or would have disagreed with, I should wait and watch and learn, because, almost always, I will learn that… by golly, Sarah was right.
Now, if I don’t understand something Sarah does, I know that I just don’t understand it yet. When I do, I will probably say, Sarah is right.
So many pundit say, “Sarah is wrong,” when the truth is that they “don’t understand.” Pundits need to drop the hubris and learn to say, “I don’t understand, but maybe Sarah is right.” In time, after they are wrong 100 times, maybe they will learn.”
Man, Sarah is Right!!!!! Later, brain. Who needs you with Sarah Palin as my guide.
That person cannot be serious. Can they?
God I’ll be disappointed if she doesn’t run in 2012.
I was strongly in John Cole’s camp for a while in believing she’s truly doing all of this just for the money, but the point someone raised the other day that leads me to believe otherwise is a good one: she couldn’t be governor of Alaska and do speaking appearances at the same time not because of the money issue but because Alaksa is a day’s flight to anywhere in the U.S. Quitting like she did makes it easier to stay within the continental U.S.
I still don’t think she’s going to run, though… I just see more clearly the idea that she actually WANTS to.
You all have far more confidence in human intelligence than I do…
If Sarah Palin runs in 2012 her VP choice, ironically, will be more news worthy than when she herself was selected because if Palin wins you just know she’s going to resign two years in to cash in on the bump being president would give to her speaking fees.
If Palin runs in 2012 she won’t get far enough in the primaries to pick a VP. No way is she the candidate.
Reined her in. No g. She’s a horse, or portion thereof, rather than a queen.

The Left’s version of funny.
This is who they are. This is what they do.
Lefty funny (the reliable tbogg):
Dennis funny:
Lookoverthere Lookoverthere lookoverthere
I have to ask, don’t you ever tire of doing this? You know it makes you look like a weakling, trying to create a distraction because you cannot face the context of this topic, right?
Come on, you can defend your precious dear Sarah better than that. Tell me why it’s great for McCain that she is a rambling idiot that doesn’t believe in science.
Burn, just like I give a few special people here meaning in their lives, I’m very happy the perception of significance provides for all of you.
Like absolutely no one else does.
Pner for a moment all the things going on right now. And then casually peruse the other blog topics on this page. Guess which one will attract the lion’s share of comments. And then for fun, take a gander at MMFA and witness how many stories there on this particular citizen.
Such is the state of the heads in the sand, liberal blogosphere right now.
Burn, just like I give a few special people here meaning in their lives, I’m very happy the perception of significanceSarah Palin provides for all of you.
I’m very happy the perception of significance provides for all of you.
Dennis! This is such a positive sign. I’m glad to hear that you recognize how insignificant Sarah Palin is. Now if you can just spread this message to the rest of the hard right base, you all might not flush your 2010/2012 chances down the toilet by taking her seriously.
Hey fafaroo,
I was quite pleased that earlier in this thread you were able to break your streak of 18 off-topic posts displaying your dependence on me.
Even though it was nonsense and even though you posted it at the bizarre time of 3:16 AM on a Monday morning, I have to admit it made me happy for you.
For some that might look like a small step, but for you I know it was a giant leap. Keep up the good work. I almost felt like backing you up on your point that Sarah might win the presidency and then quit two years in to her term, but I didn’t want to steal your thunder that came to you in the wee hours of the morning.
get a room, you two.
C’mon man! I was agreeing with you: Of all the things going on right now that matter, Sarah Palin isn’t one of them.
Oh, and Dennis:
You understand the concept of time zones right?
Number of comments Dennis has made in this thread alone – 7.
Btw, the private citizen was on her book tour this morning, making private talk with Oprah before millions of viewers.
The Left’s version of funny.
Also known as “funny.”
Seriously, Dennse? Super News? You’re bitching about Super News?
Heavens, I believe I’m having an attack of the vapors!
They do a LOT of satire on both parties.
What is really funny is that some people think Sarah Palin is an intelligent person. Hahaha, I know, seriously….
Hey little cowardly bitch Dennis: DOW 1,400!!!
10,400 even! Sorry, friend had a birthday party this evening.
You’re still a dickless loser though. Congrats!
This is good for me, Jaim; I’ve had a very good year. I hope it keeps going higher and higher. I never said it wouldn’t recover off it’s lows, I just said last winter and spring that the market was not reacting well to the new president’s doom and gloom scenarios that he used to push through the stimulus. You, however pronounced the Republican party and conservatism dead and dying and would never recover and cannot admit that you were the one who was dead wrong. You are the one who can’t admit that Obama sold you a bunch of crap when he said his stimulus would keep unemployment in check. When your hero tells you in no uncertain terms that things will only get worse, you choose to act like the little kids that you teach.
“Waaa- waaa waaaah, I don’t like the politics where I work and people make me mad. I’m going to leave the country, so take that George W. Bush!!!”
Cut and run coward baby.
Cut and run coward baby.
Well, you oughta know.
“I just said last winter and spring that the market was not reacting well to the new president’s doom and gloom scenarios that he used to push through the stimulus.”
Wow, you mean last WINTER we had a new president in office? How about that! We landed on the moon!!!!!
So when you said the market “was not reacting well” you’re blaming Obama for the market going down, correct? I mean, you didn’t use those exact words, but lets be real, thats what you meant.
Well if that’s the game we’re playing, the surge in the Dow is ALL TOTALLY because of President Obama.
… OR … it could be because the dollar just ain’t worth what it used to be.
Farris, these were always the kinds of things liberals on their blog comments would always point to when the DOW was at 13-14,000; The dollar going lower, the deficits, tax cuts for the rich and the DOW only benefited the rich, the only reason umemployment was so low was they were all McJobs and we were outsourcing all the good ones. You don’t see the Jaims mentioning those things now- it’s all ‘Hey, how about that DOW!!!’ that they always add exclamation points to as if it’s time to be dancing in the streets.
‘Hey, how about that DOW!!!’ that they always add exclamation points to as if it’s time to be dancing in the streets.
I think you miss the point. As usual. Shocker.
mambo, you never say anything. You’re like a bird up in a tree chirping away as if in disapproval of something. I know what the point is; I’ve heard it a thousand times on here. The DOW didn’t matter to you when it was going down like a lead balloon last spring, but the stimulus being enacted and getting more jobs did. Now the DOW does matter- with exclamation points- and jobs seem well down the list of priorities for you guys here. There wasn’t even a thread here on November’s unemployment number….not that I blame you.
So Dennis your point is that there should have been no stimulus, and that would have improved the unemployment number?
I’m saying the Obama Administration sold you a bill of goods to get it passed and it likely was a colossal waste of money. And now they are overstating it’s effects on the amount of jobs it was designed to create, with very little blowback from the Left. The only blowback here so far has been that it’s all Bush’s fault and Bush lied to get us into war; untrue, but even if it were, the presumption here is it makes Obama deceptions acceptable bu cpmparison.
And now they are overstating it’s effects
Perhaps, but it is effective and you can’t deny it. If McCain had won, well, I can’t even imagine how bad it would be if McCain had won. We’d most likely be at war in Iran and North Korea by now.
mambo, you never say anything.
You mean like:
Now that’s something!
Shorter Dennse: Yes, I am completely missing the point. I have no recollection of my earlier statements.
Boehlert on Elitist Fuckhead David “Applebee’s Salad Bar” Brooks:
One is reminded of the Wingnut Trolls who continue to defend Rush Limbaugh and Robert Stacy McCain’s racism; or attack Frank Capra’s casting decisions in gross error, even as it’s pointed out repeatedly; or bring up nonexistent economic theories to think they sound smart, then pretend they didn’t. Profiles in Cowardice indeed. Your modern Republican Party.
J-Marsh:
Indeed.
It’s a feature, not a bug.
if only Steve Schmidt let her use her Dwight Schrute conspiracies
I just said last winter and spring that the market was not reacting well to the new president’s doom and gloom scenarios that he used to push through the stimulus.
And then I would accurately point out that if Obama was optimistic about it, you would claim he wasn’t taking the issue seriously. This, naturally, resulted in you running with your tail between your legs.
Ridiculous, Zython. You obviously weren’t following the stock market then or what was affecting it, just like you were hopelessly and pathetically clueless yesterday about the stimulus measures and the claims made about it by the Obama Admin with regard to unemployment. I’ve never once ran with my tail between my legs- something you do anytime I remind you of your race-baiting sock puppetry. I would defend anything I said then about the stock market in relation to what was going on that day and what Obama was saying.
So to recap, according to Dennis. When the market goes down, its Obama’s fault. When it goes up, its the triumph of right wing capitalism.
Never said that, Oliver.
But recapping the collective’s groupthink here, the stock market decline didn’t matter before and none of the precipitous downward movement last winter was the result of anything he was saying to ram the stimulus through congress; but all of the movement upward now is the result of His greatness.
Dennis, I seem to remember people telling you then that it didn’t matter what Obama was saying, the economy was going down hill and the stock market with it. Obama saying the economy was in trouble didn’t have a lick to do with the fact that it was in big trouble.
When Bush and McCain were saying everything was fine, that the “fundamentals were sound” that didn’t keep the stock market from tanking, did it? No, of course, not. But I don’t remember you screaming that they needed to be even more positive.
In other words, the argument then and now is that a president simply saying stuff at a podium isn’t going to change how investors perceive the reality of the economy all that much, if at all.
The trouble with you is that you’re not saying “the movement upward now is the result of His greatness.”
If you were consistent, and not a complete hack, that’s exactly what you would be saying especially since Obama is now talking about things looking up.
Of course who are the doom and gloomers now? Conservatives, whose dour predictions apparently have no negative impact on the economy whatsoever. Do you chide them for their doom and gloom talk? No. You link to it as evidence of how Obama is hurting the economy.
Why is that?
Never said that, Oliver.
Yes you did. As far back as October.
Never said that, Oliver.
Yes you did. As far back as October.
Amongst the longest books in the world:
“Stuff Dennis Claims He Never Said (Despite Ample Evidence to the Contrary)”
It’s funny to see little Dennis continue to dig himself deeper into a whole made up of both lies and hypocrisy.
IMO we shouldn’t judge any presidency’s economic legacy until it’s over, but I’m not the one who posted hourly market updates and linked them to Obama’s performance.
but I’m not the one who posted hourly market updates and linked them to Obama’s performance.
And THAT’S the fucking point I alluded to earlier. You paying attention, Dennis?
You’re an idiot, mambo, and you know nothing about the markets and you get defensive every time someone says something negative about your hero. I was giving updates because the market was tanking at the same time this guy you were all calling superman took office, and he wasn’t instilling confidence to the investor base at the time. And the responses then were against that investor base. You guys didn’t give a shit about the DOW. Go back over those threads back then and you’ll see. Now that the DOW has recovered because the banks are back on good footing and companies have trimmed costs dramatically, you guys are hyping the DOW.
I’ve been consistent, Jaim. You’re a liar to say “IMO we shouldn’t judge any presidency’s economic legacy until it’s over,”, because you crow about the DOW every time it goes up a hundred points and you never talk about the horrible job situation we have after throwing $797 billion into the economy to stimulate jobs. In short, you act like nothing more than a high school cheerleader who never looks at the scoreboard and doesn’t even know how the game is played.
“you never talk about the horrible job situation we have”
Actually I mention it a lot. The stimulus bill wasn’t big enough.
And in addition to being a coward, you’re a liar. You directly linked Obama’s performance with the DOW after a few months in office. You did it gleefully and cheerfully. And now you never mention it because you are also a hypocrite.
Obama’s had less than a year to fix the Bush Recession and he’s doing relatively well.
10.2% unemployment and likely going up is not doing relatively well, Jaim.
Only if you’re comparing Obama to Jimmy Carter, then maybe you could say he was doing relatively well. Otherwise, like I said, you’re nothing more than a cheerleader with pom poms jumping up and down, oblivious to the real score.
Duros, you have the worst memory of anyone on this board. Well, you and mambo. You two are the two who denied you had ever called Joe Biden a racist until I showed it to you in black and white.
Again, Obama has had less than a year. Unemployment started to explode under Bush.
But here’s the thing — historically it will go down, but hopefully as quickly as possible. Obama is less than a year in and the trends are looking favorable for America.
The question is, and will continue to be, does America do better under a GOP president or a Democratic one.
To put it another way, do you really think any sane American wants to go back to the Bush years?
Hell, I moved abroad to find a better job. You always try and make fun of me for this out of your ignorance and racism, but the fact is a lot of Americans would probably jump at the chance for foreign employment given the alternative of not having any job at all.
You cheer-led Bush for eight long years of blowing up the deficit, stagnant wage growth, and incredibly costly (not to mention failed) wars. No we’re supposed to take you teabaggers seriously when a stimulus bill passes that even the WSJ has admitted created jobs? And that includes long-term infrastructure improvements?
Lie. Again, Obama told us the rate wouldn’t go avove 7.8% if we passed porkulus. Now he’s just making shit up and you guys are not even bringing it about about his bullshitting you on the fictitious jobs created or saved numbers. You’re full of shit, sir.
The trends are NOT looking favorable. We are bottoming in some areas; a tribute to American ingenuity and fortitude. The exact of what you displayed when you bailed on the country and thumbed your nose at it- or at least half of it. The other half you are doing absolutely nothing to help out. Narcisstic creep.
I call you out on your cutting and running when things (maybe) got a little tough for you. There’s no way that’s a better job, Jaim. Not when you could easily be making twice that salary here in America and paying taxes and contributing to make this a better country in it’s moment of weakness.
Of course the stimulus has created some jobs, mook. But at what cost for just how many? And why is Obama being deceptive about it now and why aren’t you holding him accountable to his transparency claims? The answer to that is that you’ll forever be the clueless cheerleader saying it’s all gonna be ok while you mock the other side and blame them for your sad life.
“I call you out on your cutting and running when things (maybe) got a little tough for you.”
I knew you couldn’t stay away from this Dennis the coward.
In what alternative is moving abroad to work and learn another language a bad thing? Only in the minds of bigots like yourself.
It kills you, I know — people much more highly educated and successful than yourself moving abroad to take opportunities to do more.
But back to the topic at hand, I’ve already admitted that unemployment is bad. But the spiral started under Bush and if McCain (god forbid) had won we’d be looking at similar numbers (lagging indicator and all that). There’s no magic bullet for fighting unemployment, but the stimulus package was a good start. As a disciple of Rush, you’re actually hoping things stay this bad since it will confirm your wing-nut biases. But again, it’s been less than a year. And IMO Obama still has a lot of hard work to do. But if you’re saying that the unemployment rate in America is never going to improve then well, you’re a bigger idiot that we all thought. Which is really an accomplishment! Congrats!
Never said that, Oliver.
Yes you did, Dennis. Yes you did.
I never said “When the market goes down, its Obama’s fault. When it goes up, its the triumph of right wing capitalism.”, or anything like that, J. Winnfield, you creepy lurker with nothing to say ever besides “Yes you did, Dennis. Yes you did.”
Why don’t you step out of the shadows and reveal your ignorance some time? Be a part of society instead of a meek little gnat. I’m embarrassed for you.
I never said…
Now where have I heard that before?
And unemployment numbers are all lagging indicators to be wholly dismissed. Besides, not his faul- He inherited them.
You obviously weren’t following the stock market then or what was affecting it
That would be the sub-prime mortgage crisis, Dennis.
Yeah, better googling for you this time but what’s your point? The sub-prime meltdown and the resultant derivatives crisis had been going on for a while.
Sarah Palin was unveiled. She spoke. The honest conservative said: “WTF?” The wingnut horde quickly pitchfork and torched these infidels. And all was right again in the magical land of Wingnuttia.
Until the dark times. The Obama.
Obama could cure cancer and wing-nuts would blame him for AIDS.
for NOT CURING AIDS, you mean.
