"These folks are whack - didn't know it was as bad as it is... what's the upside in giving them any celebrity venue a ratings boost? That's Todd's input also.."

Thank GOD "First Dude," Todd was consulted on all celebrity venue ratings boosting issues. #sarahpalin

Let's all just hope that:

1) Sarah has intimate knowledge of Levi's wang.

2) this knowledge turned into Trig.

3) A sex tape exists documenting both one and two.

(Short of tourette's like verbal diarrhea wherein she castigates nearly every group, community, or population in this country, I don't see much else stopping her. If there had been no George W. Bush...maybe. But apparently this country isn't afraid to elect dumb.) #sarahpalin

Sarah Palin writing a book was asking for trouble.

I'm not sure if she'll care. She's already made her money, no? She still has legions of devoted fans who will support her without being troubled by facts. And Levi doesn't seem to want to disclose any legally actionable details (assuming he really has them).

@Claire Buoyant: I don't know... Based on the excerpts over at Wonkette, it looks really, horribly, unforgivably bad. I think there may be a few die-hards who OMGLUVITLUVUSARA!!! go nuts over it, but I think a lot of people who even nominally support her are going to be pretty turned off.

But then again, who knows? These are the same people who think of Glenn Beck as a populist, conservative intellectual. #sarahpalin

Ultimately? Sarah Palin should know better than anyone else, that to fuck with republicans will bring the house down on you with their bitter, scorched earth policy on anyone who questions their own house of mirrors status quo. I almost feel a little sorry for her for what's ahead of her...almost. #sarahpalin

I love that Sarah uses those trusty sarcastic quote marks ("celebrity") that every conservo-troll on the internet employs.

@Richard Lawson: Sarcasm misused by the deeply stupid and meanspirited is a tragic thing.

Like a heady spice or plutonium, it's meant to be used sparingly by people who know what they're doing.

Every word Palin says in her pity party/grievance-fest drips with unclever, unearned sarcasm, delivered with that fake smile. She is unbelievably grating, that "just folks" persona scarcely covering that monstrous ego. #sarahpalin

@Baroness: It's amazing to me that anyone this dumb would think they'd be able to run a huge country like America. Let's see...it took me 6 years to get a journalism degree, I was a failed sportscaster who lucked into the governorship of a hillbilly state, I was selected to be the running mate of an old man based on my looks, I pretty much make a fool out of myself every time I open my mouth...gosh darn it, I CAN be President!!!!!!! On the other hand Dubya managed to get elected not once, but twice. God Bless America for allowing morons to fail upwards. At least Dubya was only a pretend hillbilly, as opposed to this moron, who's the real deal. #sarahpalin

@ParahSalin: But, even with Bush, you can almost understand his (thoroughly incorrect) opinion that he was cut out for the Presidency. He'd done pretty well, popularity-wise, in Texas and grew up in a household with a career diplomat who went on to the VP and Prez slots.

Sarah Palin, on the other hand, deciding she could be VP or President is like me going, "You know what job I'd be good at? Fuckin' rocket scientist." despite the fact that I'm a high-school dropout who performed miserably in both science and math. #sarahpalin

@Go Like Hell Machine: Yeah, going INTO the 2000 election nobody really thought of Bush as a huge dumbass. He was very successful in Texas politics, and was actually pretty good at playing the political game. He had a few Bushisms but not too many, and nobody would think much of a few verbal gaffes.

He only became the idiot we know and love once we were constantly exposed to him for 8 years. Palin was an obvious moron from pretty much day one. #sarahpalin

I'm not even going to think about reading that book for fear my brain might explode. It seems so factually narrow that I'll probably get through about half of it by keeping tabs on disinformation posts like these. Keep 'em coming folks! #sarahpalin

@Go Like Hell Machine: I'm glad that the NYT kept in the great Sarah quote that human beings did not originate from "monkeys who eventually swung down from the trees."

Ugh...but necessary to see highlighted the depth of her arrogance and stupidity.

This post needs to use more accurate and efficient language to describe her book, and almost anything she says. To do otherwise is to give her room to continue to create mischief. Here's my suggestion:

"Her book: more lies." #sarahpalin

Is it possible for Sarah Palin to say or write something that doesn't ooze with smug condescension?

She's definitely borrowing from Anne Coulter's style of a.) say asshole things that appeal to just enough people to sell some books, then b.) capitalize on your notoriety as an asshole by saying the same stupid shit in a book. #sarahpalin
