UNLIMITED SARAH PALIN APPRECIATION THREAD!

[Luna]

Have you ever wondered why no single african nation has ever prospered? And you want that kind of leadership here in America?

Yeah, old white imperialists with a head full of Homer and Jesus are really not the sort of people who can be expected to run a modern country properly.

Also, don't expect the Wasilla Barbie to actually declare to the last possible moment.  And don't expect her to confirm or deny if she will be running with the Republicans or under a third party until as late as possible, either.

Agreed... and my money is on her deciding NOT to run, after all.

The Alaska governor's office is set to release more than 24,000 pages of records relating to Sarah Palin's term as governor. Requests from media organizations for the documents stem as far back as the 2008 campaign.
...
She said 2,275 pages are not being released.

This is the stuff that was requested by a FoI request in 2008.  About bloody time.

Someone apparently decided Palins tour bus decor was...  lacking...

Palin's bus arrived in Massachusetts the same time the tornadoes did.

COINCIDENCE???

Shit, where is she?  If she's around this weekend, my birthday plans have just changed...

GOP megastar Sarah Palin's bus tour rumbled into the Hub last night, driving straight into a Republican Party furor as her headline-grabbing East Coast trip threatened to overshadow today's presidential announcement by party front-runner Mitt Romney.

Oh, THAT wasn't planned, I'm sure.

One must wonder if she's actually RIDING the bus this time around, or flying from stop to stop to meet it.

[AFK]

Jeebus, why can't this country just ignore her?  I mean, when all of the focus turned to Trump, and Bin Laden, and Medicare, she was completely off the radar.  She was gone.  Why the fuck are we letting her back into the national discourse? 

Goddamnit I really hate this country and most of its inhabitants sometimes.

I mean Jesus, we are sitting back and actively encouraging two clowns to troll our Presidential election. 

[The Good Reverend Roger]

And this is new...how?

Basically the SarahPAC is funding her "Where in the World is Carmen Nutcase" tour, a vacation in a private bus, which means that they (the dupes that contribute) will have less money to spend come election time.

Frankly, I find this whole abortion to be "Bob" approved. 

[AFK]

So Romney is announcing his bid and Palin is taking a swipe at him.  But holy fuck, can she learn how to speak without butchering the English language. 

"Palin taking a swipe at Romney as he announces, finally, his bid:

"However, even on a state level and even a local level, mandates coming from a governing body, it's tough for a lot of us independent Americans to accept, because we have great faith in the private sectors and our own families ... and our own businessmen and women making decisions for ourselves. Not any level of government telling us what to do."

I mean, all of those words and she said precisely nothing.

ATTN SARAH FUCKING PALIN

YOU GOP GOVERNMENT SHILL.  YOU'RE FOOLING NO ONE.  YOU ARE THE GUMMAMENT, SO QUIT ACTING LIKE YOU AIN'T.  QUITTING YOUR TERM BECAUSE YOU LOST A BEAUTY PAGEANT IS NOT THE SAME AS GOING ROGUE, DIPSHIT.

[Precious Moments Zalgo]

YOU'RE FOOLING NO ONE.

Not true.

Aw, they KNOW, they just don't give a rat's ass. White lady who speaks like a Wisconsite with brain damage is pretty.

That's all those assholes focus on.

But they know she's a shill.

I think you are giving them too far much credit.  I think there are millions of true believers out there who think she's "one of us".

Meh, the Republicans are fucked, and not even Sarah Palin can save them now.  The only reason Sarah Palin even gets play in the media now is because Democrat supporters know the threat of her entry will push the moderates into Obama's camp - exactly as they want it.  Everyone except the most die-hard Movement Conservatives knows this.  Elections are rarified power struggles between competing elites, and those elites have thoroughly rejected Palin as a member.  She burned too many bridges and turned down opportunities offered to her on a silver platter.  These kind of people do not issue second invitations to join the board of directors.

Christ, and I used to think the Democrats were useless.  Unless something changes badly between now and September 2012, the Smiler wins again.
