She really is shameless. I mean, I honestly don't know if I can think of another ostensible "politician" *
who so blithely slings around accusations and insinuations, tries to stir up trouble, says blatantly false, malicious and mischevious things and demands the kind of deference she is with the book tour. Honestly, I can't. But she's GETTING AWAY WITH IT, and people think THIS is a breath of fresh air. It does feel a lot like a confluence with reality TV in which total douchebaggery and self-absorption is continually awarded.
*by "politician" I mean she has held office and may (shudder) run again, as opposed to professional pundit shit-stirrers like Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh, or total famewhores like the-couple-that-shall-not-be-named-and-its-flesh-colored-beard. They are "entertainers" and so it makes marginally more sense for them to say outrageous things, but politicians are usually at least a LITTLE more savvy about covering their asses.
I don't even think Obama, Nancy P. or Harry Reid even know what is in the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence maybe they had better rush up on these. That is if they can read.</I.
someone clearly doesn't understand the course load at motherfucking ivy league law schools. BLARGH!!!!
remind me again where sarah palin studied constitutional law?
"Voters have every right to ask candidates for information if they so choose."
Really Sarah? Because I recall you throwing a bitch fit/temper tantrum over the Katie Couric interview and how unfair the questions were that she asked you.
@madeofawesome: Please don't use the term "feminazi." It's stupid and blatantly ignorant about WWII, the holocaust, the suffering of the victims of nazism, and the struggle for gender equality.
The term "feminazi" has to die. The sooner, the better.
@Misiula: It's a running joke on here because it is such a ridiculous term. I'm sorry if it offended you, but people generally refer to themselves and other like-minded feminists as feminazis for the irony. No one here actually equates the term with Nazism.
@madeofawesome: Yes, I "sort of know" that but I'm European and take references to Nazism very seriously. I think that's a good attitude to take -- vide the bullshit about "death panels" in the US. Making people take responsibility for evoking Nazism would help foster a less paranoid debate around feminism, health care, and whatever other issues may also arise in the future.
Why borrow terms from your opponents if those terms are bad to the bone?
Wasn't one of the reasons that she quit that she was being bombarded by 'false accusations' and it was distracting her from her job and costing the state money legal costs.
Now she is suggesting that her base does the same thing, in fact encouraging them..
WAIT wait wait... I do not recall seeing Trig Palin's birth certificate. At all. And I read Andrew Sullivan's blog, where it would have been wallpapered across the page.
I have seen a note from Sarah Palin's doctor saying she's fine, but it's literally a doctor's note, not any actual medical files. And I've seen multiple scans of Obama's birth certificate, and read the account of one of the factchecking sites where they went and touched it (to verify the raised seal).
Is she claiming something happened through magical thinking again?! Does anyone have recollection of this birth certificate of Trig's, or any Trig medical stuff? Because if not, then Palin's not just throwing meat to the crowd -- she's using a false parallel with Obama's birth certificate to slide by the claim that she's been upfront about Trig.
I'm no birther, in either category, but I think Palin just hosed a bunch of people into looking one way while she slid the "I told you all about Trig" lie right by them. And now when they blather in future, they'll confidently chirp that Palin showed HER certificate... when she's never done any such thing.
@limber: She DIDN'T produce Trig's birth certificate, and she DIDN'T provide the proper medical records that every other candidate in modertn history had provided. It is BLOWING MY MIND that people are eating up every word she says. She is willingly and knowingly making shit up and people aren't bothering to check her facts.
I am scared that I am raising a child in a country where Obama's birth certificate is still an issue. Their are actually people out there who think his family ran his birth announcement in the local paper when he was born to FUCK WITH PEOPLE when he decided to run for office decades later.
@limber: I don't wanna see Trig's birth certificate, what if it is short form??? I want to see a DNA test to PROVE that he really, really is her son.
(If she wants to play the game, we should ask for it she play all the way)
@Little Green Frog (Wise Latina): I'm sure we could somehow trick her into making an appearance on Maury for the DNA test part. You know how to loves to see herself on TV.
@limber: Nope, she's a lying liar who lies. On the other hand, the people who believe her when she says she provided Trig's birth certificate wouldn't be the ones questioning her pregnancy to begin with.
I don't really care one way or the other about the sprog, except for feeling sorry for the kid the same way I feel sorry for anyone stuck in her immediate circle. From everything, it's clear that she's a corrupt, narcissistic bully who will try to destroy anyone who doesn't build up the version of herself she's decided on.
I've also seen the multiple scans of Obama's birth cert and scans of the local newspaper birth announcements, and read the fact checking site.
@lurkerbynature: It's just CRAZY. She's saying "sure, Obama should be made to show his records, after all I showed Trig's!"
But... she didn't. So she's lying, and then urging others to live up to her completely fantasized example. I mean, isn't that just boggling?
But I'll bet a bunch of people saw this, and came away with the thought that crazy Sarah Palin's a birther -- but also with the stowaway thought that she's actually shown Trig's birth cert.
Because who other than a fucking crazy person would hold up their own total lie as a litmus test for someone else?!
@limber: It is absolutely mind boggling, which is why I keep paying attention to her. It's like the White House crashers . . .WHO DOES THAT?!
I've decided to be determinedly optimistic and believe that her loud and crazy fan base may stay loyal to her personality cult or may turn on her in a second, but the majority of Republicans and conservatives will see that she's not a sane person, let alone a good potential leader.
For the rest of us, I think it's both a matter of keeping out of the mud and letting her wallow, or letting her have enough rope to hang herself. (I'm too tired to untangle metaphors at the moment.)
Yes, I see your point birthers because there is NO WAY that a former Constitutional law professor at one of the nations top law schools has read or knows anything about the Constitution. What I really want to see is Palin's birth certificate because I'm convinced that she was belched from the fires of hell.
"...I don't even think Obama, Nancy P. or Harry Reid even know what is in the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence maybe they had better rush up on these. That is if they can read."
It's not like he ever taught Constitutional Law or anything . . . oh, wait.
That's it Sarah..keep 'em coming and let those crazy-ass FB friends keep posting all their wing-nuttery!
Just keep on digging that huge hole deeper and deeper and then maybe, just maybe, when the Republican Party realizes that you and your fucked up sidekicks have DESTROYED THEIR PARTY FOREVER it will too late...
@cinematheques: It's the smartest dumb movie ever! Kind of amazing how it can be so silly and stupid and hilarious and at the same time make the most amazing point . . .
Part of me really, really wants to see her run for President and win. Because as much as the rest of the world did laugh at us when "we the people" elected Bush twice, and as much as the paranoid conservatives imagine the rest of the world is laughing at us with President Obama, it's nothing compared to the endless comedy that would be a Sarah Palin Presidency.
@SUNNY1: Hahahah yes I remember this post. So terrifying, yet I think if she actually ever does get elected as POTUS I'd rather the world spontaneously combust than give her access to nuclear weapons. *shudder*
Well, they did mean things to me so it's only fair that they do mean things to Obama.
Oh good grief, lady. You're killing me.
I'm sure you've forgotten by now, knowing how quickly your narcissistic brain erases all logical thoughts, but Obama spoke out against the rumors being made about your son and declared that your family should be off limits. He did it on multiple occasions and in strong language.
@curiousgeorgiana: Although I read that there's a conservative movement to rewrite the Bible - apparently, the old translations are too liberal (bible scholars = professors = crazy liberal elite). So really, Palin is just following her new Real America Bible.

@jebash: Holy shit. I just dipped into that delicious bucket of paranoia and misinformation on Conservapedia, and I think I'm seeing stars. It's awesome.
