Thrilla from Wasilla is my new euphemism for the obtuse that likes to kill moose

Sorry. That was juvenile and dumb. But why talk about these hags when we should be goading them into a catfight ASAP?! Isn;t that what what we want to see? I don't know about you, but the idea of reading Palin's book is about as appealing as watching Glen Beck. I wanna watch them wrassle!

And that is the story of how neocon PR warlord Nicolle Wallace won the begrudging respect of MSNBC liberals." Bullshit. Screw them both.
She wasn't going to let a brat like Palin humiliate her, period, not for the good of the party or anyone else. That's all it is. If common sense and the refusal to bend over for a joke like Palin deserves "grudging respect"...talk about setting the bar low. She's not doing anything particularly courageous, but she IS confirming an ugly truth (and an unsurprising one).
Honestly...she's preserving her job and I suspect she knows Palin is bad for the party too.
(Palin is horrible for the party...I want her to run and I want her to show non-crazy voters--I'm assuming they're the simple majority of the electorate--to see that the growth of toxically stupid, out-of-touch, fundie, outrageous nutjobs in the GOP and in the MSM is bad for the country, not just for Dems. I want her to run, humiliate herself and the GOP, and then go AWAY.)

Perhaps none of the gems in the Fox primetime line-up would give her a chance, eh?
Still, wouldn't it have been really and truly "courageous" if she'd shot for the widest audience possible and looked to the "Today" show or Oprah or something (in other words, snapping close at Palin's book tour heels)? Maybe she couldn't book them.
Here's the thing--how many of the people buying Palin's book watch Maddow?
It's only "courageous" to the extent that somehow the GOP and anyone in her former circles hears this. I'm sure this will get a spot on Drudge or on Fox or something, but I dunno, it might not. If they never cover the interviewthe strongholds of Palin's support will never know their Alaskan hocky MILF an immature liar, not a genuine victim or a fighter. She's not alienating anyone if she goes to a network staffed by people (with the exception of Joe Scarborough, maybe)/watched by viewers who dislike Palin and says, "You guys are all right to suspect her."

Following it is like eating potato chips. You just can't stop. Or is it more like watching a train crash in slow motion? You just can't pull your eyes away no matter how gruesome? Hmm....
I think I'll go with eating potato chips while watching a train crash in slow motion...

I want them all to go live on a private island; I don't want ANYONE like this holding legislative office, anywhere, in any capacity, in any jurisdiction, but that's bound to happen, because these fuckers are the well one of our parities is tapping into. Palin shouldn't be trusted with anything more important than seating arrangements or dishes for a church potluck.
She is a small, lingering sample of everything wrong with democracy, and the worst members of a voting audience...defiantly, proudly obnoxious and stupid, and an ignorant religious zealot (or hell...just ignorant, but the religious angle makes it especially foul).
11/19/09
You're exactly right. This is ignorance in voting at its best, no?
If they all were to be sent onto a private island, could we at least make it into a reality TV show? I think I would then be able to die a happy man.

Oh that tactic is fully in the public domain and exactly what Tina Fey did to come up with her "I can see Russia from my house" line -- God bless her. It began as Palin's lame claim to foreign policy cred ("They're our next-door neighbors, and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska.'') and, well, the rest is history.

Wallace combines Palin's words with even dumber ones, heightening the sense that the Thrilla from Wasilla is totally off her rocker.
How is that different from what Tina did (regarding Russia)?

The Daily Show is just comedy. Let's just say we have a different view of the "reality" of the 2008 campaign. (Not that any of this changes my original point that the Left likes this "rhetorical tactic" as much as the Right. The Left just tends to lie less.)

Imagine Hillary writing a book about Mark Penn and the mismanagement of her campaign, who cares about that crap?
Sarah Palin: a bridge to nowhere.

Why is John McCain being so restrained and gentlemanly about this unhinged hillbilly bimbo? He's always been mean as a snake but very funny and certainly has nothing to lose at this point so his decorum is baffling and out of character.
