TURKEY UPSTAGES TURKEY
I'm being nice, I have trouble digesting her. On the subject of food, no one will ever forget the Turkey pardon on You Tube. Search for Palin and Turkey.
While blabbering and blabbering on, after she pardoned the Alaska turkey for thanksgiving, turkeys were being slaughtered live on screen in the background.
America got to see just how they had be dispatched (Ok be-headed) and bled off hanging upside down in the "Cone of Death".
She stayed cool, not listening to her film crew and you hear it on the tape, they were telling her, this was not a good background and she just blabbered on and on and on. About nothing, just blabbed and blabbed as the turkeys were slaughtered live.
Meanwhile blood and dispatched turkeys all over the frickin place and the gentleman in the background is staring at her like, is this real? This is my moment of fame with the Governor and who would ever think I'd make the six-o-clock news. Shoot, I'll show them, two at a time.
SUMMARY and BRANDING
Sarah was a mistake, really bad judgment in the McCain camp. But the financial awards were incredible. She made the best of it to her credit and a couple million dollars on a book deal and even more from the endorsements and speaking engagements.
This year she will probably gross 12 -15 million. She is popular. Like the cheerleader she is, sometimes they don't make the best wives. She is cunning smart, a survivor and not afraid to take chances.
Again, she is a cheerleader; only think of her as yelling bad things about the other team. She was not a Vice-Presidential Candidate in any way shape or form. How she made Governor is another story based on how she went totally negative during the governatorial campaign and verbally killed the other crook.
She's way out of her league on the world circuit. Oh that's right Alaska is another world, she said it. And quitting as the Governor takes back all the wonderful words she spoke about her love of Alaska. That was till it didn't suit her anymore. Sarah Palin is for Sarah Palin. She made noise, got the book deal and the millions. For that I applaud her, she outfoxed the wolves on that one, and then shot the other wolves.
THE BOOK
Did Sara Palin really write her bio or was it a compilation of events glorified and put together just like her handlers at McCain camp created for her. For someone who could not answer when asked what she reads how did she write that book in three months...? It finally leaked out.
The hidden co-author for, “Going Rogue”, is no other than Lynn Vincent, a writer and features editor for World Magazine. Which is no surprise. World Magazine is a right wing wacko Christian magazine. As a religious publication WM makes anything the John Birch Society writes or publishes look pale by comparison. The Taliban wished they had such good writers.
She has written many articles for that magazine and co-written several books including, Donkey Cons: Sex, Crime and Corruption in the Democratic Party. Amazing but not surprising Ms. Vincent wrote nothing about the string of Republicans who got caught this year… Ensign, Sanford, Craig, and others all faith based moralists. One as a board member of Promise Keepers and the other on the Senate Morals Committee.
She too belongs to the oxymoronic faith based crew of writers who will distort anything under the guise of faith simply to achieve the meld of Church and State. I term them the Sons of Birches.
POLITIFACT "DEATH PANELS"
Of all the falsehoods and distortions in the political discourse this year, one stood out from the rest. It was a quote from Sarah Palin. Seniors and the disabled "will have to stand in front of Obama's 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care."
The claim set political debate afire when it was made in August, raising issues from the role of government in health care to the bounds of acceptable political discussion.
In a nod to the way technology has transformed politics, the statement wasn't made in an interview or a television ad. Sarah Palin posted it on her Facebook page. Then it went public and did the damage to the legitimate parts of the amendment. Lies work when weak people who believe anything read them and don’t know how to challenge these statements even in this day and age. Seniors including neighbors of mine got scared.
Her assertion — that the government would set up boards to determine whether seniors and the disabled were worthy of care — spread through newscasts, talk shows, blogs and town hall meetings. Opponents of health care legislation said it revealed the real goals of the Democratic proposals. Advocates for health reform said it showed the depths to which their opponents would sink.
Still others scratched their heads and said, "Death panels? Really?"
The editors of PolitiFact.com, on the Web site of the St. Petersburg Times, who do a fantastic research job, chose it as the inaugural "Lie of the Year." PolitiFact readers overwhelmingly supported the decision. Nearly 5,000 voted in a national poll to name the biggest lie, and 61 percent chose "death panels" from a field of eight finalists.
THE TEA POT PARTY
Regardless of my input on many occasions to change the name of the party to the TEA POT party, they have steadfastly refused to capitulate.
Why not? OK, maybe just the POT party because if people believe her they must be on something stronger than Oxy-Codeine and Excedrin.
They used the name ‘Tea Party” because it denotes the image of the Boston Tea Party. When the founding fathers dumped some fine English Tea (from India) in Boston Harbor. It’s patriotic, symbolic and a courageous act for it’s day. Symbolism, so important when you have nothing of yourself to offer. Truth be told, they were 50 drunks from the Samuel Adams beer hall, disguised and to blame their Indian friends, and dumped the tea into the harbor. Why, the English tea was cheaper after they found out Tea really is labor intensive, and our soil is not exactly right for that fine cup of Earl Grey. So in essence the TEA PARTY is as whacked out as the Tea Pots who stole their name. Some should be called crack pots. I like Earl Grey Tea,
$100,000.00 FOR WHAT, A HAND JOB?
She was the guest speaker who earned $100,000 dollars to entertain a group of 600 folks who paid $349.00 each (for the Lobster dinner, other fees 200.00 total $321,000) to hear the same old barbs and shots at the President and the administrations problems.
Barnum was so right. Every minute another self centered selfish jerk is born.
Her most critical remark, just one in particular was to blast the President of the United States for using a teleprompter. Well, when you have something intelligent, noteworthy, want to stay on track, often enough, and different from Washington bi-speak to say, a tele-prompter certainly helps.
If you say the same thing over, and over again, time after time, and none of it changes, you can use the tried and true HAND-JOB. She only had four topics to remember as investigation proved there was nothing written on her other hand. She is a hand-job.
THE GREAT TWITTER
Today she attacked the President of the United States with one of her Nit-twits. She said and we quote with all the elements unchanged.
"And Mr.President,50 days later you still no desire 2 speak w BP's CEO re:Americans so adversely impacted?"Kickin a**" or just talkin', it'll help."
This woman is as brilliant as a burnt out lightbulb in the middle of a firefly convention. This is the gal who has never had a real open press conference, refuses to answer questions from the press at speaking engagements, talks about a book she never wrote, and is more irritating than chalk on a board.
At least you can erase the board. And she's lecturing to the President who is quite vocal on his opinion of the BP president. She should keep her mouth shut unless she is will to use it to soak up oil.
