Sarah Palin Just Wants To Help Out With Politics! Why Isn’t Anyone Letting Sarah Palin Help?

Sarah Palin was once elected Governor of Alaska! This is like winning the Nobel Prize in Mattering. So as you can see, this Sarah Palin politics expert knows a thing or two about elections and winning them, mmhmm! It is so fortunate then, that she offered to campaign for Bob McDonnell and Chris Christie to help them out in Virginia and New Jersey, respectively. Except neither one is taking her up on her generous goodwill PR stunt! Meg Stapleton, beta version of a human being, GO: “The governor offered her assistance with both races. The ball is in their court.” It’s like Bob McDonnell and Chris Christie don’t even care about the Going Rogue book sales. [POLITICO]

    She’s still running the printing press that’s making her book.

  2. SmutBoffin says at 3:49 pm, October 9th, 2009

    “This is like winning the Nobel Prize in Mattering.”

    Goddam, Juli, this is funny.

  3. Extemporanus says at 3:49 pm, October 9th, 2009

    Girl, don’t go away rogue…just go away.

  4. Extemporanus says at 3:50 pm, October 9th, 2009

    chascates: She got a job at Kinko’s?

  5. AnnieGetYourFun says at 3:52 pm, October 9th, 2009

    Sarah can help me, you betcha. I’ve got leaves that need rakin’, dogs that need walkin’, and dishes that need washin’. Now that she and Todd are totally unemployed, she might want to seriously consider the $8.50 an hour I would pay for her services.

  6. SayItWithWookies says at 3:54 pm, October 9th, 2009

    And Bob McDonnell keeps talking about how he’s been empowering women. You’d think he’d have to let Sarah Palin help him out, just out of concern for looking like a hypocrite. Oh — nevermind.

  7. Gee, why wouldn’t Republican moderates (well, a moderate and a wignut pretending to be moderate) running in Democrat-trending states want support from an idiot hated by all but the hardcore rightwing base? I don’t get it.

  8. chascates says at 3:55 pm, October 9th, 2009

    Extemporanus: She’s probably already quit that job, she’s a maverick.

    And what’s happened to all of the SarahPac money?

    She could get some nice publicity by going to Afghanistan where there are supposed to be troops.

  9. magic titty says at 3:56 pm, October 9th, 2009

    To Meg,

    They are taking your ball and going home.

  10. Vanity Smurf says at 3:56 pm, October 9th, 2009

    Victory has a thousand fathers, defeat is born of a single snowbilly grifter vagina.

  11. user-of-owls says at 3:56 pm, October 9th, 2009

    “Bob and Chris didn’t take me up on my offer to campaign for them. Now I know exactly how that turkey felt.”

  12. Jim Demintia says at 3:56 pm, October 9th, 2009

    Whenever I see that photo, it always pops into my mind that she’s just taken that bon-bon she’s about to put in her mouth out of her own vagina.

  13. Vanity Smurf says at 3:57 pm, October 9th, 2009

    SayItWithWookies: He empowers ‘em to make babies — even when they don’t want to.

  14. Accordion-o-rama says at 3:58 pm, October 9th, 2009

    Don’t take no for an answer, Sarah! Just show up! Go go girl!

  15. ManchuCandidate says at 3:59 pm, October 9th, 2009

    I think Sarah’s wilting under intense pressure is a bit of a problem.

    That and being unintelligent.

  16. shadowMark says at 4:00 pm, October 9th, 2009

    “Why would they want to embrace a national message that goes backward as opposed to forward?” asked veteran GOP strategist Chris LaCivita, referring to last year’s presidential campaign. “She could be more of a liability than a positive. That’s not a criticism about her persona…”

    We’re going to hear every imaginable politcal version of the “It’s not you, it’s me” break-up meme. Somebody should just send Sarah a DVD of “He’s Just Not That Into You.” (Don’t bother sending her the book.)

  17. BobTheBuilder says at 4:09 pm, October 9th, 2009

    Goddammit, why does that picture always turn me on? OK, I’m gonna try to picture John Boehner in the same pose and see if that cures me…

  18. GreatOldOnesParty says at 4:13 pm, October 9th, 2009

    BobTheBuilder: Can you just imagine if she somehow ended up as our VP (or, worse, our P!?) and THIS was the photo we had to look at ALL THE TIME on the Wonkette?

  19. TheCoolestGuyInTown says at 4:15 pm, October 9th, 2009

    Why do people still refer to her as “Governor Palin”?

    A more appropriate title would be “Dumb, hateful, Bitch Palin”

  20. Smoke Filled Roommate says at 4:15 pm, October 9th, 2009

    She probably smells like the “dead fish that go with the flow”… or the post-fame lecture circuitfish, or the publisher’s advance “book”-writingfish.

    She just smells like fish, dammit.

  21. Crank Tango says at 4:16 pm, October 9th, 2009

    BobTheBuilder: cuz you like trying to sneak a peak at her babyfarm?

  22. sati demise says at 4:17 pm, October 9th, 2009

    They may be afraid of the type of people that show up for a Palin performance, right?

    all those people with the guns strapped on, the nazi signs, the tinfoil hats…..and we all know it is really hard to get good mental health services right now in this USA.

  23. “The ball is in their court.” It’s like they don’t even realize they’re playing tennis!

  24. GreatOldOnesParty says at 4:18 pm, October 9th, 2009

    Smoke Filled Roommate: You’ve got it all wrong. Fish smell like HER!

  25. Extemporanus says at 4:20 pm, October 9th, 2009

    Jim Demintia: That bon-bon is her own vagina.

  26. slappypaddy says at 4:20 pm, October 9th, 2009

    “The ball is in their court.”

    that’s so cute, the way that little spokes-puppet pretends to talk. the ball is in their court, indeed. too bad they’re playing poker, all those balls in all those courts. maybe there’s some sexual subtext here that i’m not getting.

  27. Blue_in_VA says at 4:21 pm, October 9th, 2009

    Oh, Sarah, sweetie, please — pretty please — come campaign for McDonnell in VA. Even if he doesn’t ask for your help, you come here and to that rogue thing you do so well! Believe me, he’ll thank you after the fact. I promise!! Oh…and northern Virginia is where you want to be.

  28. southerngeek says at 4:22 pm, October 9th, 2009

    sezme: It’s like they don’t even realize that the “ball” is TruckNutz!

  29. tehbenton says at 4:22 pm, October 9th, 2009

    Well of course McDonnell doesn’t want her. She’s an uppity woman with the audacity to work outside the home.

  30. Extemporanus says at 4:22 pm, October 9th, 2009

    Smoke Filled Roommate: GreatOldOnesParty: Her moon shares nothing. It is a sea.

  31. Guppy06 says at 4:23 pm, October 9th, 2009

    Of course McDonnell and Christie are turning down their offers of help. Nobody in their states knows who the hell Sean Parnell is!

    Maybe you’d get their attention if you were offering a former governor, a previous governor, or even a quitted governor, they may change their tune…

  32. V572625694 says at 4:24 pm, October 9th, 2009

    Wonder what Todd’n'Sarah are doing for health insurance, now that they’re unemployed. COBRA in Alaska is probably good for 15 minutes or so.

  33. sati demise says at 4:33 pm, October 9th, 2009

    V572625694: they have the ‘witchdoctor praying plan”, like all good christianists

  34. Smoke Filled Roommate says at 4:36 pm, October 9th, 2009

    Extemporanus: A sea of retarded babies.. Which reminds me–do the Palins have the Collected Life Goes On on DVD yet? God created that show for the future birth of Trig, you know.

  35. Serious says at 4:38 pm, October 9th, 2009

    Juli please just write words forever, in an endless stream.

  36. proudgrampa says at 4:42 pm, October 9th, 2009

    I know I don’t care about Going Rogue sales!

  37. Extemporanus says at 4:47 pm, October 9th, 2009

    Smoke Filled Roommate: No, but they do have Chris Burke’s hit album, Forever Friends.

  38. Johnny Zhivago says at 5:16 pm, October 9th, 2009

    Sarah and Chris Christie could polish off a couple of cases of Bon-Bons in a single afternoon, I recon…

  39. Suds McKenzie says at 5:29 pm, October 9th, 2009

    SmutBoffin:

    “beta version of a human being”

    I had star-burst’s.

  40. Paul Tardy says at 5:32 pm, October 9th, 2009

    You can help Gov Palin stay out of jail by donating to The Alaska Fund Trust. Which is the least you can do seeing as how much joy of snarking she has provided you with.

    http://www.thealaskafundtrust.com/

  41. Sweet Baby Cheeses says at 5:36 pm, October 9th, 2009

    Cuz what hopeful governor wouldn’t want a governor that quit during her first term to help?

  42. Accordion-o-rama says at 5:38 pm, October 9th, 2009

    Guppy06: I kinda like “half-term governor”.

  43. hobospacejunkie says at 5:55 pm, October 9th, 2009

    I’ve seen that pic in a higher-res version. Had to work to keep my lunch down afterwards. Who knows what kinds of crumbs have tumbled into her hoo-haw from snacking in that position.

  44. jaegermeister says at 5:57 pm, October 9th, 2009

    Sarah just welcomed son Track back from Iraq. Don’t unpack Track, Mommy wants you to go to Afghanistan now.

  45. Jim Demintia: I can relate. This picture has a strange and powerful effect on me. And my COBRA doesn’t cover mental health.

  46. Potater says at 6:21 pm, October 9th, 2009

    shadowMark: Too subtle: she wouldn’t pick up on the meaning. I say mail her a mass shipment of flaming dog poop. She wouldn’t pick up on the meaning of that either, but it’d make me feel better.

  47. CaliforniaMike says at 6:22 pm, October 9th, 2009

    chascates: She could provide sexual favors for those troops who have MILF-y fantasies. Then she could win the Nobel Prize for Prostitution. Previous winners were Christine Keeler and Mandy Rice-Davies (shared in 1964), Fanne Foxe, Donna Rice and Heidi Fleiss.

  48. Pithaughn says at 7:10 pm, October 9th, 2009

    JMP: Technically we don’t hate her. It’s her voice, faux librarian get up, mind boggling hypocrisy and some other traits I can’t remember right now, oh yeay, LYING all the time, that “we” hate. But Sarah we have no problem with, I’d help her change a flat.

  49. Jim Demintia: Whenever I look at that photo I see another one of her achievements crowning.

  50. TheCoolestGuyInTown: “Why do people still refer to her as “Governor Palin”?”
    I was wondering why “FAG Palin” never caught on.

  51. Johnny Zhivago says at 7:36 pm, October 9th, 2009

    Here’s a funny one - Carly Fiorina is a Palin denier, claiming she’s never met the lady:

  52. spymoose says at 7:39 pm, October 9th, 2009

    That photo is just another celebrity endorsement for Wonkette’s Bag o’ Dicks: The Salty Meats!

  53. President Beeblebrox says at 7:55 pm, October 9th, 2009

    She’s not going to NJ because she’s afraid Christie will eat her. Yes, I know, that was terribly juvenile and immature.

  54. President Beeblebrox: That’s just payback for Christie accusing Corzine of being gutless.

  55. Darkness says at 9:40 pm, October 9th, 2009

    Oh, Alaska is SO important. Especially by Republican metrics. It’s a whole 0.108% of the U.S. population. It’s almost HALF of Maine!

    And to think she quit bein’ guv cuz she didn’t want to become irrelevant

  58. MrsNateSilver says at 11:58 am, October 10th, 2009

    TheCoolestGuyInTown: Sorry, just needs a tweaking “Dumb, hateful, REDNECK, Bitch Palin”

  59. AnnieGetYourFun: I’ve got leaves that need rakin’, dogs that need walkin’, and dishes that need washin’.

    You would trust Sarah Palin with any of those activities?

  60. disgustedcitizen says at 1:39 pm, October 10th, 2009

    Please, dear jebus, when is this dumb bitch going to go the way of Kitty Harris?

  61. Dean Booth: Sublime.

  62. bopumofu says at 6:57 pm, October 10th, 2009

    The “beta version of a human being” thingee got me thinking of Brave New World

  63. worrierqueen says at 4:15 am, October 11th, 2009

    From Politico “— her book, “Going Rogue,” is already the No. 1 best-seller on Amazon, more than a month before it’s even released.”

    OK ‘fess up, who’s ordered her sure to be nobel nominated epic already?

  64. villageatrois says at 4:21 am, October 11th, 2009

    If a gubernatorial campaign will accept her, Sarah could donate her accumulated PAC funds to it, and then they could pay her, perhaps on a fee-for-speech basis. And pay her expenses, her children’s expenses, her wardrobe, her children’s wardrobes, Levi’s lack of wardrobe, etc. etc. etc.

  65. worrierqueen says at 5:00 am, October 11th, 2009

    Do the nobel committee have a children’s section?

  66. Paul Tardy says at 10:51 am, October 11th, 2009

  67. nightshift says at 3:51 pm, October 11th, 2009

    Just give Sarah her FauxNews talk show and be done with it already!

  68. lulzmonger says at 11:59 pm, October 11th, 2009

    “— her book, “Going Rogue,” is already the No. 1 best-seller on Amazon, more than a month before it’s even released.”

    1. Hire ghostwriter
    2. Give them your collection of Post-Its & pictures of your fridge-magnet poetry
    3. Get lots & lots of wingnut websites to bulk-buy your “magnum opus” & give it away free online
    4. Attention-whore like you’ve never attention-whored before, & hope some people still find your fake Marge Gunderson accent & total lack of basic critical-thinking skills “quaint” & “rustic”
    5. ?!?!?
    6. PROPHET!

  69. Captain Swing says at 6:32 am, October 12th, 2009

    Johnny Zhivago: McDonnell and Christie should hire both these funsters.

    With Failin advising them on how to run their states, and Fiorina telling their CEO’s how to run their companies, they could be making California look good in no time.

  70. Tundra Grifter says at 9:29 am, October 12th, 2009

    SmutBoffin: YES! If your Friday needs a boost, just read Juli! WIN!

  71. terycarl says at 11:44 pm, October 18th, 2009

    let me see now, the democraps have hitlery, pelosi, boxer, ginsberg, waters, olympia snow (we’ll give her to you)madeline albright, donna schlala, I could go forever but you get the idea….these losers are yours and you make fun of Sarah Palin……..pathetic

  72. terycarl says at 11:46 pm, October 18th, 2009

    Tundra Grifter: you’re back!!!!!I thought you’d given up after getting your butt argeed off on the Palin poor book blog……it’s still #1 on the best sellers list and it hasn’t yet been released…..brilliant

  73. terycarl says at 11:47 pm, October 18th, 2009

    terycarl: agreed=argued

  74. terycarl says at 11:54 pm, October 18th, 2009

    Really…..go to the top of this thresd and look at the asinine comments, losers who can barely keep a job are trying to downplay the governor of a state (elected by the people of that state) who has just written a book that will probably net her in the millions of dollars……some loser. If you don’t like her….don’t vote for her, but your envy and jealousy is more than a little apparent. The commandment says thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s goods……her intelligence, looks, personality, job, money, success in life are her goods. If you can’t match them, shut the hell up
