4 - STANDUP COMIC BRANDING 


DON'T ASK, I WON'T TELL

Sarah has a problem with direct questions.  She will not take them.  When asked she gets the deer headlight syndrome. One of the photogs I covered her with showed me that. She almost freezes for an instant and then ignores you.  That makes her an actress, not a thinker.  She needs lines and slogans. Intellect no, cunning yes, a communicator, scripted yes, unscripted a disaster. Also some of the questions, we know the answers. She avoids getting trapped that way.

When questions were asked, really tough questions like “what do you read? No answer, so in situations like this she retorts with a loaded deck of her whimsical little cuts.  All in that “screeching cow” trademark voice, enough to make your hair stand up.


PANDORAS BOX
100,000 Dollars a speech, some critics, thought that was a lot of bread for a standup comic with old jokes especially since it was all about stimulus money being wasted. These were conservatives wasting money because they knew what she was going to say before she said it, lots of good Republican money.

Oh, had they only vetted her out for McCain, properly, things might have been different.  I can see McCain waking and walking night after night, talking to himself saying to himself,”Why did I listen to these F**** idiots”. 

He lost an election, popularity, public confidence, and a possible tough challenge to his re-election to the Senate. For him alone, this history lesson is similar to Pandoras Box, it should never of been opened or written. Thank his handlers. So bad instead of being the MAVERICK, he has a new logo and name…The Partisan and that changed to Parmesan after the election.

Pandoras box, in Greek Mythology, was actually a vase not a box, never should of been opened and all the terrible things never would of gotten out. Like eventually, the truth, which Palin-ites don’t seem to see.  She has a magic that seems to addict people.  

Different addictions, people who think she walks on water, some wanting to watch her drown while walking on water, people who watch her for the gaffs, those who believe her “convictions” and ring the same bells, and those like many women I interview, see right through her.  

Men, me included are blinded by her attractiveness especially in the political arena, but women have this ability, smart women that is, to look right through her and see the truth.  As one put it, “I like her for her willingness to fight, but I trust her as far as I could throw her”.  


SARAH FINDS THE TEA POT PARTY
So the Tea Party organizers fueled by a few closeted thinkers today draws upon the history lesson, Ron Paul, Libertarians, John Birchers, Ross Perot, twists it a bit with a modern day bunch of protesters and this is prime time for Political False Gods to drop in.  

Here they come...O’Reilly, Beck, Hannity, the tri-fecta of complaint and distortion, the leaders of dissent and political hacking, and their hand picked slanted talking heads.  Maybe not the brightest rocks in the stream went to the Tea Party. A few made sense, many looked like the seventies. When people pay to hear what they want to hear, a state of moronic illness sets in.   

Her speech could of been written by the crew from Saturday Night Live and the Third Reich.  All about blaming the other guys and not forthcoming with solutions, nor answers. It's easy to critique.  

Der Fuhrer (translated as “da fewer da better”) had a habit of blaming everything on the other guys and found a welcome audience. So the FOX crew plays the game, the ratings game. Palin is about recognition, money, glory, money and, power, money, ratings and rantings, and if you follow the money..... theres a Fox in the Henhouse.
 

HOLD ON
I believe the TEA PARTY has merit and in their hearts they mean well for this country. Let’s face it, the corruption in Washington has gone too far. No argument there.  But there are limits to bad taste. Clean slogans are OK, cursing on signs, calling the President names you wouldn’t use in your home, and pictures of our President smeared with bad artwork and insinuations about his race, birth, and religion are off bounds. 

For the Tea Party to be anything it has to get rid of the nuts.  It’s not a new idea. For years attempts at a third party have popped up and rapidly pooped out, and failed. H. Ross Perot grabbed 19% of the vote as a spoiler and turned things upside-down.  It helped get Bush elected eventually as competence was easily outweighed by popularity and money….


LOOK ELSEWHERE  

alfred.gifTill they find a leader with VISION not rhetoric.  The real Republican party knows words alone mean little. Sarah Palin is not that person, she lacks the simple, yet intellectual fortitude and ability to sort out the answers. I could think of a few others the GOP would be better supporting, like Alfred E. Neumann.  

The economics of the times might be a boost for such an idea but it’s also the recipe for a perfect storm as elections and principles will be distorted and ratified by outsiders with lies and distortions. But they were too quick to jump on the first body that came along.  And she is playing them like fools. That will displace anyone really talented to try to make and lead a viable party. No one will go up against that mouth. Thus she is killing them and they don’t have a clue. 

As usual, she went on and on with her cute jokes playing to the audience who was there to ingest everything she said that they based their mantra and feedbags on.  

Her mantra "Drill, Baby, Drill" was cute, and a lot of idiots cheered her on at these whistle stops but maybe they should be in Louisiana right now or any of the other gulf states about to be decimated by off shore deepwater drilling. 

It now represents the biggest disaster in the history of the United States,  SPILL, SPILL, SPILL, is what she is all about.  Stupid remarks oozes out and then they have to clean up after her. That seems to be all she has to offer. 

This will be a long and ongoing project, you will not see the end of her, she will survive, I guarantee it and maybe not a President, but possibly the biggest spoiler since H. Ross Perot and Ralph Nader.  A million years from now they will herald her arrival as the NEW ERA OF PALINTOLOGY.  It will exit followed by the ERA of  PALINTOXOLOGY.  Her rhetoric does nothing but poison good minds.
