CHASING THE SARAH PALIN BRAND
PRE-DISASTER
Occasionally working backstage during a political campaign is a chance to see what really goes on during the war of words, unexplainable phrases, and scads and scads of spin, it’s enough to make a Whirling Dervish dizzy.
By the luck of the drawer, and the fact I live in Tampa Bay, I wound up following the Florida Circuit and I was both possessed and fascinated by Sarah Palin. I got to be honest, at first it was her glamourous Hollywood looks, her vibrant personality, and those sexy designer Bancroft trendy glasses, I really do not know how it affected others but it worked for me.
Ron Paul or Sarah Palin, no contest, I wanted Sarah. Don't get the wrong idea, this is not a love story. She is one of the sharpest, most manipulative, and self sufficient individuals on the planet. The Republicans thought they knew her but she is most of all a survivor and opportunist.
They got killed, she got notoriety. In this whole facade we called an election, she came out on top, winning the big dollars for now. I call this CHASING THE SARAH PALIN BRAND and those who are possessed.
BITTER BACKFIRE:
Part of the Republican loss was credited to one of the worst run campaigns in history. Against his own judgment, Sen. McCain’s handlers pushed him into, and then selected GOV. Sarah Palin as his running mate.
McCain had wanted some one like Joe Lieberman. Another severe case of not thinking. Lieberman had more flip-flops than Miami Beach during spring break. Nevertheless, voters originally applauded his choice of Palin and her qualifications. Statements were made that she was fully vetted and qualified for the job.
In her own words, a pit-bull with lipstick, a soccer mom and apple pie America.
These reports of vetting were produced by the Neanderthal University Team of Strategists or NUTS. She kinda looked good on paper, if it was an honest choice, but she looked better on camera. And McCain needed a shot in the arm. His mojo was failing, he had age, health, his branded maverick personna and individualism. He also needed something to offset what the Democrats had put up with the possibility of a woman in either position, Obamas youth and dynamic exuberance and that word "change". McCain was "old school" and worse, he was his own "old school".
Do not get me wrong, he is a great American and I am proud of his service and devotion to this country but he is not the man for the job.
THE STRATEGY PLANNER
1) She was the much-needed VP attack pit bull with lipstick in the ring against Barack Obama. It's hard to fight back against a woman and not be called a sexist. In battles with female candidates, the man will lose even if he's right.
2) In addition she had youth to offset McCain's age. This opened the forum to the younger female voters and moms. And she draws the moms, in huge ensembles, who have like ideas and are mesmerized by her presence. Tell them what they want to hear, scare them into listening, and be entertaining. Thats her secret.
3) Obviously good looking too, from her years as a model and pageant contender. A lot more appealing to men than some of the older, not as attractive ladies in the arena. Probably one of the few anyone had the lack of class to whistle at. And she could counteract Hillary’s supporters and popularity, possible run, and a create a gender free ticket for the White House.
4) Health, she offsets Mccain's aging and health issues. She's also a breeder and turns out kids like gerbils. Inspiring to the mothers of America. That group called “Soccer moms”. Though it was reported she did not participate in Soccer that much. Well less than she claimed.
5) Very religiously outspoken, way over the top, ad nauseam. Really wears it on the sleeve, and manages to draw the Evangelical Base of the Republican Conservatism out in numbers. That’s the group that can't separate Religion and Government. Her church, the third one are thinkers, actors, and participants in some strange much like the Taliban who put Religion ahead of State.
In fact, The pastor whose prayer Sarah Palin says helped her to become governor of Alaska founded his ministry with a witch-hunt against a Kenyan woman who he accused of causing car accidents through demonic spells in Wasilla and at one point had over two hundred followers harassing the woman which drove her out of town.
This is stuff you can't make up and it is all over YOU TUBE.
See for yourself by searching for Palin-Muthree on Youtube and you personally will thank GOD for making sure she doesn't get within ten miles of the WhiteHouse. At a speech at the Wasilla Assembly of God on June 8 this year, Mrs. Palin described how Thomas Muthee had laid his hands on her when he visited the church as a guest preacher in late 2005, prior to her successful gubernatorial election, the renouncing of the demonic woman and the police shooting a snake demon, holding back 200 followers who who were going to stone the woman to death.
WAS SHE A CARL ROVE PLAN:
I wonder to this day if Carl Rove, Bush's mastermind of BUSH WACKED politics, was patting himself on the back with this brilliant plan. Rove quit the White House with six months to go and went to work as an advisor for McCain. His leaving the job came at a time when connections to Libby, aka Cheney's head ELF, and other policies he was involved with were under federal investigation while advising Bush.
NOTE: He is still under indictment. Today Carl Rove is a senior correspondent on FOX news, Rupert Murdock's "Fairly Unbalanced Reporting" scheme. The real question? Was Sarah really vetted? But she too is now part of FOX.
REAL VETTING:
The real vetting took great investigative work by the Chicago Tribune Staff who separated the wheat from the perma-frost chaff. They ran down the real story. More spin than all the Dreidels on Hanukah. There is the TRUTH in her PROFILE not pundit spin. We were going to use the POLTICO METER for truth but it hit the false side so much, the needle fell off.
PROFILE: NRA -She is a Lifetime NRA member.
Wow, that rocks me. I too am a proud fellow member of the NRA; In addition, I was a Competitive Shooter and Certified IPSC Combat Range Officer. Lifetime membership means she paid her dues, filled out the forms and she gets the magazine. In addition, she’ll now receive discounts on all re-mastered Charlton Heston movies. It certainly adds a lot to any resume, and in Politics means financial support from the NRA, one of if not the strongest lobby groups in Washington.
EDITORS NOTE: I would certainly "stand behind her" as a fellow member. Not in front though. She could have "Cheney Syndrome". VP Dick Cheney wounded an attorney who “stood alongside him” while hunting. I'm sure with her qualifications the next Republican VP accidental shooting incident will be "One Shot, One kill" certified and no more wounding mistakes.
GOD CERTIFIED, AND
VOODOO PROTECTED
She is Faith-based three times over, after changing a few affiliations with churches in her hometown. The next time if she suddenly decides to go Jewish and turns up in my temple with Joe Lieberman, that's it for me.
Her last church managed to get her protected against Voodoo, clearly certified by an African guest minister dancing around her with the results on You Tube. Good to know the prospective VP was Voodoo Proofed. There is even a Voodoo Sarah Palin Doll available on the web. complete with heels and assault rifle if you are afraid of Wolves in your neighborhood.
RESUME : EXTERMINATOR of WOLVES
I understand cultural difference. Alaskans are frontier-minded survivalists. They hunt. She can shoot Wolves after a chase from a Helicopter. So could I, after you have nearly run them to death. Wolves run down and exhausted by chopper are more like sitting ducks. Having Sarah Palin do a TLC show on Alaska and Conservationism, green thinking and such is like asking Hitler to explain crowd control.
It would nice to know whether state resources were to be used for this eradication process. You mean to tell me the largest state in the union with the smallest population can't relocate wolves to another more secluded area while the feds are paying for programs for Wolf survival. The program in Yellowstone Park, a federal program is the long going latest attempt to save the top of the predator chain and the Wolves are doing fine.
Sarah Palin is no friend of any of God's creatures. “Noah would call her a subversive”. Several civic groups in Alaska do not agree with her. Search the web for Palin and Hunting. Wolves don't taste good; their main asset is their coat. So why kill them, just trap them and send them as unrelated breeding stock to Yellowstone.
RESUME: SERVED ON A SCHOOL BOARD
Experience serving on a school board. A Johns Hopkins University study named Wasilla High School as a “dropout factory”. Wasilla’s rate was 6.5 percent in 2006, a number that was much higher than most of the schools in the Mat-Su district. Only 58% of incoming freshman graduated as seniors. The schools there have a terrible graduation rate. No real improvements brought to the schools. Looks good on paper. OK, no bathroom jokes.
RESUME: AS A MAYOR:
She made big noise how she managed her city and gained experience. Mayor of a town with the population of my subdivision. Well, close 10,256 in 2008. Largo is 72,000. ALASKA's entire population is about 700,000. We have more people in the Tampa Bay area than all of ALASKA and as many unique problems as ALASKA.
Their budget so hailed by Palin as management qualified could be figured on the back of a paper grocery bag with a pencil and no calculator. That’s how my boss did it when I delivered groceries fifty-two years ago.
Yet she claimed she had great management experience running Wasilla. Not what we heard. I would put her up against any of the those fifth graders on TV with nothing more than Monopoly experience. And guaranteed they would smoke her in head to head fifth grade questions.
RESUME: FAMILY TREE:
Family planning... her own daughter, remember this is the school board lady, needed a GED and while laden with child still went on the Alaskan Outback Family Values VP Campaign Tour with the prospective husband Levi holding hands.
Made great photo ops but he was smart enough to bail than join the Palin mob. Was he? They got plenty of money now and he could of had a free ticket.
Unfortunately he bailed from the tour and the daughters life after dumping the daughter, indicating he wanted to dump the whole deal. The prospective father of her wedlock child didn't graduate either.
BUT he was sleeping in their house and obviously in her daughters bed every night and that’s how babies are made. Now they are in a custody battle over the baby and it will probably get dirty and public. It has.
Family values are a Palin trademark. Which brings us to the In-Laws or is it Out-Laws. Good thing the wedding got called off. The future mother in law, Levi’s Mom, got caught for selling drugs (Oxycontins) and is in Jail. She did not pass GO and those get out of jail cards for free did not work in this town. And lately Levi has become a tell-all of her personal life, which doesn't exactly match her made up resume. There is bad blood there now. And now her daughter and Levi are in restraining order levels of love.
THE FUTURE:
Some have suggested a few things Sarah could be doing now that she lost the election. Oh, seeking the next great flop, we thought Carl Rove might have some answers since he and Sarah share something in common, they rarely tell the truth. She did get involved with:
1) FOX news, thats a reality show framed around a news show.
2) They could do a remake of the "The Alaskan Hillbillies move to Washington".
3) The Hunting Channel will sponsor “Duck hunting on the Potomac”,
4) Martha Stewart could redecorate the Lincoln Bedroom into a fly-tying school.
5) And fishing, there were rumors floating around that if she was elected VP the BASS-PRO shops might build a new Superstore in the East wing of the White House.
6) “Let’s get behind this gal and put a Moose in every pot”, from the food channel. Country-fried sweetness aside, moose balls for dinner is not what we call mainstream, unless you are Andy in Funny Farm. Oh, that was sheep balls,” lamb fries”, the waitress called them.
GOVERNOR AND PAGEANT/ DRAMA QUEEN:
Alaska has drug labs, and is a big meth input country. Methamphetamine is doing well there. So is tourism and oil. But it's also big on lawsuits and she was named in legal battles concerning abuse of power. They started piling up. So she quit as Governor. Quit? Governors don't quit; unless they get caught at something; or they see a fast easy way out because they know they will lose; or they see money or gain in another direction or job. Her answer: She's doing it for Alaska.
Truthfully no one believed her. More like all three. She's doing it for money from the book, legal bills and innumerable charges coming from the state legislature. The Alaska legislature went after her for violations of abuse, too many to mention but it is estimated her legal fees exceed a half million dollars so far.
Maybe leaving office is part of a deal or leaving office gives her time to regroup, practice her babble and maybe school herself in Constitutional law, Civil law, and not just sit there and tell us what's wrong with the press, the reporters, the newspapers, the media, the blogs, the late night TV "commentariats", her opponents, government, her brother in law, Levi and did I mention the unfair liberal PRESS.
We know what's wrong. Her brain and mouth connection. We elect based on popularity, even if they are imbeciles, to office if they say the right words, look the right look, and promise more BS than the other guy.
Look at the past eight years and what that crew did to this country. She fits right in. A book deal and money is what she’s after. She may wear religion on her sleeve, but a good book deal in the bra is closer to her heart. And there are enough gullible people out there that believe her especially when she drags in the “person of faith” character/act/promotion/theme/guilt suppression/self worth routine and tells you this is God’s will. What an actress!
FIRST DUDE - MYSTERY MAN
She is married to "The First Dude", who for some reason doesn’t speak. What we do know is he is a commercial fisherman, four or is it five time winner of the ski-machine races across Alaska, a steel worker and works for BP.
BUT, he is silent, he doesn’t speak about anything. It was like a gag order backstage. We can just assume who wears the mouth in that house and rightfully so since keeping him quiet prevented the public from learning... wrong.
And then in January 2010 it, the truth leaked out. He was more involved in the running of ALASKA then was let on based on over 3000 emails that leaked out after being requested under the information act regulations. Maybe that explains the “Silence of the Gams” during the election run where the only mouth going non-stop was Sarah Palin.
Oh my GOD... he is (or was) a Democrat. A Registered Democrat, and also supported the Alaska Independence Party, for seven years, holding office, which would like for Alaska to leave the United States and declare it's own sovereignty. then he could be King and...
Then Sarah Palin would be the Queen, not just a pageant contender. Nice Dude! Instead she chose the Drama queen for bigger stakes. What a combo and boy that wasn't even played by the Obama team, missed opportunities or just a class act on Obamas side but this just adds to the idiocy of this candidate for anything.
THE QUITTER - FIRST ALASKAN TO FINK OUT:
She is a true Alaskan, she loves her Alaska and that is so, so big in her heart. So she quit. Wow, what self sacrifice. It just had to be the book deal written in an incredible three months for millions. What talent! It proves fiction, a good co-writer, lots of cut and paste, bashing and no substance can make you a writer. Dump Alaska, maybe before they dumped her?
Now that's unique set of events and so are the people in Alaska who deserved better than the 1000 dollar checks she handed out from the rebates of the oil tax fund. Then, only then, they surveyed her popularity. Give everyone a 1000 dollars and even the meth-heads will fill out the forms. They did, meth prices soared.
Alaskans are incredibly unique people. Survivalists who live by the land, off the land and with the land. I have many friends there and they think it's the closest place to heaven on earth. Yes, weather is a factor, but the purity of life for some is more rewarding. They are tough people because they have to be. The climate lends itself to that statement. They are multi-tasking survivalists.
It seems everyone in Alaska loves fishing and hunting which in some ways supports "eating values”. I have no problem with that. Killing for fun, or for overkill wall decorations, different story.
Think about it, when two hundred miles of tundra separates you from the nearest Publix, that moose in the front yard looks like the meat department's free home delivery both fresh and nicely packaged. I have nothing wrong with that except explain that to those who live in cities and ghettos. Experience? Wrong experience.
TRUTH vs. FOLKLORE: (LIES)
Chicago Tribune: “That luxury jet was over the top,” Sarah Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, said to loud cheers. “I put it on eBay”. Yes she did. BUT it did not sell. Did not sell three times.
Sara Palin’s statement implied the plane was sold through the online auction site revered for empowering millions of small entrepreneurs, and Palin’s spokeswoman insisted that the transaction occurred.
The 23-year-old 10-seat WestWind II was sold in August 2007 for $2.1 million to a Valdez, Alaska, entrepreneur; that’s about $500,000 less than a broker’s asking price, plus commission. Had she kept it, we imagined what the logo and theme of the 25 year old Westwind II would look like.
POLITIFACT
"The plane, bought by her Republican predecessor whom she beat in 2006, was listed for sale three times on the San Jose Internet auction giant. But no one ever met the minimum bid. The plane was listed with an asking price of $2.5 million in 2007. The state had paid just under $2.7 million for it in 2005. Finally, the state turned to an aircraft broker, who sold the jet to an Alaskan businessman for $2.1 million".
GAS ON THE FIRE:
John McCain, however, took the claim a step further just days after Palin's speech, suggesting that Palin had not only sold the plane on eBay, but made money on the deal as well. At a campaign stop in Wisconsin on Sept. 5, McCain said, "You know what I enjoyed the most? She took the luxury jet that was acquired by her predecessor and sold it on eBay — and made a profit!"
But that wasn't the case. In addition, that aircraft had the size and range and not only used for the governor but it served to transfer Alaskan prisoners to jail in other parts of the country. This was one of its primary functions. Now the state pays for that trip. They transfer their prisoners to Colorado, as Alaska doesn't have the resources for prisoners. So now they go commercial flights mixed in with you and me and Palin rented a really nicer bigger more expensive bird. Bottom line, more untruths.
NOT STRONG OFF SCRIPT
Here is a gal that doesn't know what she reads BUT just wrote a book. Unbelievable that people actually follow her. In Charles Gibson’s interview, she still failed World Politics 101. In Katie Couric's interview she failed the entire semester.
Her coach Senator "Switchsides" Lieberman did the coaching, she had no clue as to what the Bush Doctrine was, is, or maybe none of us know what the doctrine was as it has changed. If you didn’t know the Bush Doctrine, look it up.
Basically his failed doctrines in seven years and as many revisions later, still won’t take up much space in the Bush Legacy library. OK, the doctrines simply put “attack the bad guys before they attack you”.
ROCKS COMPLAIN ABOUT BEING CALLED DUMB:
Not knowing the Busch Doctrines is one thing, not knowing the job of the V.P. is an insult to the party, the people and the whole way we elect folks to the highest offices in the land. Her answer to "what is the role of the VP" was astoundingly ignorant. The VP has one role, to take over if anything happens to the President.
She replied, “as VP she would go to Congress, and tell them what laws to pass, and direct how things are done”.
It got worse, almost embarrassing, for McCain knew at that point his boys blew it. Big time. Get out the recipe books boys, and look up “cooked goose”.
False statements, cut’s and snips and not even knowing what you read or say really sends up the flares. Like watching repeats, Katie Couric had a field day with her, not intentional, as Sara would have it, you know the liberal press excuse, all the dumb answers came from one mouth to simple no-trick questions. Except on FOX TV, the station of the Legion of Doom.
I commend Katie for not hysterically collapsing at the answers she got. One question in particular was, “What do you read”? She had no clue what papers she does read. Sarah, asked Couric, "it's usually printed at the top of the first page or on the cover".
GOTCHA! - DRESSING THE PART
Somehow her “Soccer, Hockey, Moose Hunter Mom image carefully selected by the couture authorities at the local Wal-Mart look didn’t quite “fit the picture “ of a Vice President; Remember, Sen. McCain needed a Gal on his party to offset his age, the rise in the woman’s vote, Hillary’s popularity, and the Republican base, his temperament issues and he got talked into Sarah who had looks and needed a few accessories to go with her budget thrift shop wardrobe.
It’s another popularity contest after all. So they re-created her. The expenses for clothing etc. included $75,062 spent at Neiman Marcus in Minneapolis Minnesota, and $41,850 in St. Louis in early September. Tip of the iceberg, we were clothing a family. So $40,000 for the guy who doesn't talk, the first Dude and it didn’t stop there. The daughters got treated pretty well with $175.00 shoes. I can get at BASS shoe stores six pair for that. I just did, I'm bad on shoes.
That wasn't all! So we looked further. We found $22,000 for makeup, $10,000 hair and her handlers (Constitution and Image) got another $20,000. The total after the election kept going up as the bills came in and the real figures are probably never going to pop out.
The Republican party should get the $10,000 back from her Constitution handlers because in another interview with Nancy Pfotenhauer, Senator McCain’s hard hitting blonde attack talking head, Nancy couldn’t define the job of the Vice-President either to Chris Mathews. But hand it to MCain, he sure had some pretty ladies on the job.
They should have held classes with the cast of "So you think you are smarter than a fifth grader". They proved you could make a silk purse from a Moose’s ear if you try hard enough but Silk is not in fashion now. And most moose’s are hoarding their ears.
TURKEY UPSTAGES TURKEY
IDIOTIC PRESS
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 /Turkey.
While blabbering and blabbering on, after she pardoned the ALASKA turkey, 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.
She sort of captures the Paula Abdul Franchise from American Idol for the Republican Party. Everybody loves Paula for her spirit not her intellectual capacity, always sweet and uplifting. (Silicon does wonders for all)
SUMMARY and BRANDING
Sarah was a mistake, really bad judgment in the McCain camp but 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 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. Not cheering “her own team”. Is there such a thing as a negative cheerleader? No but there is such a thing as "Rock Star Status" in a game of old unpopular faces and stories called Congress.
With Congressional ratings in the teens a fresh face is in demand and she tells the base what they want to hear and FOX who makes money off her gets her the media.
She is 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.
Peter’s principles. 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 shot the others.
THE BOOK DEAL and the LIE OF THE YEAR AWARD:
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. We'll explore the book... after she answers one question... For someone who could not answer when asked "what she reads" after being asked on camera by a nationally known interviewer, how did she write that book in three months...? It finally leaked out.
THE ANSWER:
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 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”.
FROM 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 PARTY: :-) 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 need 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.
100,000.00 FOR WHAT?
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.
One of her remarks was to blast the PRESIDENT for using a teleprompter. Well, when you have something different to say depending on the circumstance, a 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.
DON"T ASK, I WON"T TELL:
Also questions were asked in advance, no free styling here, with tough questions like “what do you read? So a loaded deck of her whimsical little cuts. All in that “screeching cow” trademark voice.
She reminded me of a cheerleader in High School who finally got her braces readjusted by a young lady on the Volleyball Team whom she had be-littled, made fun of her size, and made the girl the butt of many jokes for the entire season. Today the cheerleader would be considered a bully.
This taunted one just ignored her the whole season and laughed at her. After all, she was the All-City Best Woman’s Volleyball player. At the end of the season, one shot got heard throughout the school. Had there been a net there I believe the cheerleader would of landed back of the line, out of bounds.
Best shot I ever saw a woman hit, slap or throw, missed the net but hit the target. And this wasn’t a lob. That volleyball must have been doing a hundred when it hit. It was good to be on the school paper. I asked her, "why did she wait so long", I just wanted to finish the season....
BOTTOM LINES"
100,000 Dollars, 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...
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 tough re-election to the Senate in his home state. 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.
PANDORAS BOX:
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 fight, but I trust her as far as I could throw her”.
So the Tea Party organizers fueled by closeted thinkers today draws upon the history lesson, 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 the talking heads future of CHAOS, the Committee to Honor Anguish Often on Society chimed in with their accolades, after all she is a FOX contributor.
Maybe not the brightest rocks in the stream went to the Tea Party. When people pay to hear what they want to hear, a state of moronic illness sets in. Sort of best explained by Einstein’s Rules of Relativity. First: Never lend money to a relative. Second: Doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result is called insanity. The Third? E=MC2... Energy equals Mass times the Speed of Light Squared, hah, thought I didn’t know it.
Other than the FOX news who claimed a verbal victory for her and the second possible coming of the savior by a woman, it reminded me of similar speeches by the other distorters of history, “the blamers” who used bad times to further their cause.
THE THIRD AND FINAL RETCH...uh REICH.
Her speech was pure Saturday Night Live written by crew from the Third Reich. Hitler, if you remember was heavily praised by Goerring, Eichman and Goebbels and also went unchallenged. Thats if you wished to keep your head about you...or on you.
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. To persons of brains, others, most of the intelligentsia, it didn’t mean anything other than the “spoiler is playing her game for the money and notoriety”. FOX rules!
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.
THE THIRD PARTY:
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.
And his party failed for the same reason the poor turnout at the TEA PARTY indicates. Most of their true numbers at turnouts are inflated by Beck and crew. Vision failure. Till they find a leader with VISION not rhetoric. Sarah Palin is not that person, she lacks the simple yet intellectual fortitude and ability to sort out the answers, not supply the questions, enough monday morning quarterbacks out there. Most picked Manning! HURRAH !
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 are 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.
We need to clean up the mess in Washington, line item veto, one project-one vote, disclosure, transparency, term limitations, and consequence. REAL TIME FOR REAL CRIME like bribery. And where are those lists of lobbyists and their payoffs we were promised. Then we won’t need a third party. Just bigger jails and create a new meaning for the words “Term Limits”, like twenty to forty years.
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. Other than that there was the typical PALIN rhetoric. No answers, no solutions, no meat on the bun.
She made fun of the President using a teleprompter. Who cares, I truly appreciate a good speaker who comes across with intelligence and sound points. It gets the message across in the most direct fashion. Quite radical from the past eight years where we listened basically to the “interlectually ellacelleration of an imbolized polterbrist”.
She in return resorted to the best method she knew, for retention of thought. She cribbed the notes on her palm. (See right hand in photo) Probably did the same in high school during tests. Only four words there? She needed four words to stay on track? My dog knows four words. How do you dumb down Sarah Palin, hide her Sanford marker.
Understandingly, she like the rest of the Rupert Murdoch team, Beck, Hannity and O’Reilly based her speech on what’s wrong without one hint of how she would fix it. Maybe she should go back to the 12th Commandment. “Thou shalt not open thy mouth and bitch if thou has no ideas to solve problems”. Drill, Drill, Drill has become Bitch, Bitch, Bitch... and with the situation in the gulf. SPILL , SPILL , SPILL and KILL, KILL, KILL. That seems to be all she has to offer. Words of hate.
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.
She will stick her nose in and meddle with the GOP base with her Palin branded fundamentalism, personal greed and egotism and not care who gets in her way. But her deepening rhetoric will incite the other nut cases to go further for market share. Already Beck and Limbaugh have ratcheted up. If they fear her power so should you. It goes back to you if you attack a woman. Basically, she is dangerous to both parties and her distractions are dangerous to the wonderful people of our great nation who seek truth.
