Taibbi and Morford are two of the best writers in print. At least we have them.

It's a lovely piece.
He's dead right, too.

That's a fact, Tengrain. Ok, two facts. GMB

Ah, piss on her, goddam fucking dangerous, vicious freak.
Posted by: JDM | July 10, 2009 at 09:31 PM
JDM: Better yet, ignore her. That will hurt. Because she's an attention whore, that's why. GMB

Perfect. Perfect. Perfect.
I do believe that the speech that was Sarah"s final (hopefully) brain? spasm will in future years be used as a vital teacher's aid to show how not to do it or what early-onset Alzheimer's looks like (if they can't find the Reagan tapes) or something.
GWB doesn't have to await the judgment of history which we already know will be "WTF were they thinking?!"

You have to assume Sarah has a brain for it to spasm...dumbest moose on the lake...I wonder what her first language is, Inuit?
She''l be back, she;s to damn stupid to leave...

bowtiejack: Morford's piece spoke your name, my friend. And I agree with all you write.
Reamus: She has a brain...a lizard brain. In her case, her speech wasn't about a flight to safety, her goal is to make as much cash as possible while standing before adoring crowds. She knows she has a small window, and she is going for it. She's smart in a clever, money-grubbing way. As for traditional smarts...short in that department. GMB

And Reamus, you had me at "I wonder what her first language is"....hahahahahahahaha. GMB
Posted by: gmb | July 12, 2009 at 11:16 PM
Maybe she and Joe the plumber can team up, have a love child and make a further mockery of the whole process...makes me want to puke.

She's not going anywhere. She's too arrogant to know when to stop.
Posted by: Morse | July 13, 2009 at 08:50 PM
Morse: Agreed. But I think her focus is going to be on getting as big a pile of money as she can. If FOX offered her $10 million for a reality tv show, she'd think about it. Hell, I wish Larry Flynt would offer her $20 mil for a beaver shot, because that would take care of things for everyone. GMB

A well-written article for sure which makes a strong, tongue-in-cheek case for Palin's return, but has anyone ever given credence to Palin's mannerisms being simply an act; a shtick like any other that harkens back to the days of Vaudeville? That takes smarts. That she is completely narcissistic and could not give a crap about the fortunes (or misfortunes) of the Republican party is a whole other story in itself. She's but another player in political version of "That's Entertainment."

If Fox offered her $10 million, she'd probably do a live strip show.

There is acyually a X-rated movie I saw advertised in a motel room in Pocatello Idaho---big cardbord deal on top of the TV stand--called "Nailin Palin". Too bad she didn't cash in on that!
Posted by: Reamus | July 14, 2009 at 03:15 PM
but who will we make fun of? this woman is GOING NOWHERE - she is going to get every nickel she can from any idiot that would pay to hear her fart
Posted by: distributorcap | July 18, 2009 at 12:46 PM
Reamus: Well, does anyone really know who Trig's baby daddy is? Just saying.
Spartacus: No smarts involved with Sarah. Just a naked desire for money and fame. She'll make a shitload of money, that's for sure, but the fame. Well, I hope she tries to form a third party to keep the adoring crowds. Because the GOP knows how to play ugly, that's why.
dguzman: Hope she holds out for $20 million to do a porn film with Levi. That should end all of their future "careers."
Reamus: Are you sure she didn't? Might want to check out the credits.
DCap: No worries, dear. The GOP has given us Larry Craig, Sarah Palin, Mark Sanford and Michelle Bachmann. Did I forget Mean Jean Schmidt. All I'm saying is that they have a deep bench. A really really really deep bench. GMB
