THE LETTERS OF SARAH PALIN

  • SARAH PALIN STALKING YOUNG TEEN GIRLS: “As I stand here in a high school gymnasium watching freshmen girls’ basketball games, I’m struck by the sight of America’s future right in front of me - these tenacious young women full of energy and intensity. I want them to realize every opportunity this great, free nation can provide.” [...Babbles for a few paragraphs about Republican gubernatorial candidates...] “The young student athletes I’m watching right now are counting on us to do the right thing - to fight for what is right for America today and into their future.” This is clearly a veiled critique of Barack Obama’s hatred of ladies on the basketball court.

    There is no fucking way she wrote that.

  2. She’s also misty eyed recalling that playing on her high school basketball team was her sole qualification for office.

  3. Way Cool Larry says at 2:07 pm, October 27th, 2009

    I thought women’s basketball had teh gay

  4. Lascauxcaveman says at 2:08 pm, October 27th, 2009

    Veiled critique of Obama? All I’m thinking is the picture she’s painting here is she’s very, very hot for some young girls basketball players.

    You and I Sarah, we see eye to eye on exactly ONE issue.

  5. AbstinenceOnly Ed says at 2:09 pm, October 27th, 2009

    We need to make America successful again, like the WNBA. With Sarah Palin as our Diana Taurasi at the helm, careening us towards the promised land.

  6. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 2:09 pm, October 27th, 2009

    Did you see how her nipples stood out on that one! Boy I liked to fuck her!

    Well, Jim, I’m no lezzy, but….

  7. Enturbulate says at 2:12 pm, October 27th, 2009

    I’m reconsidering my position on burning books.

  8. Gopherit says at 2:13 pm, October 27th, 2009

    sounds like a good plot for Nailin’ Palin 2.

  9. RoscoePColtraine says at 2:14 pm, October 27th, 2009

    I’m not quite sure what to make of this. Sarah Palin has learned how to punctuate properly, AND her prose isn’t hilariously hokey. Surely, she’s not using a ghostwriter for her facebook notes.

  10. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 2:14 pm, October 27th, 2009

    these tenacious young women full of energy and intensity

    “You are all so fappable.”

  11. Gopherit says at 2:14 pm, October 27th, 2009

    Also, can’t we get Palin and Obama out on the court for a little 1-on-1?

  12. Neoyorquino says at 2:15 pm, October 27th, 2009

    Sarah is down with the hot, sweaty, girl-on-girl action. Who knew?

  13. Crank Tango says at 2:16 pm, October 27th, 2009

    You know, I bet the girls from fake america would kick the shit out of the girls from real america in basketball.

  14. Scruffy_The_Janitor says at 2:16 pm, October 27th, 2009

    You call it admiration, the Court Order calls it stalking.
    Tomatoes tomatos…

  15. If those girls are counting on us to fight for their future, then why are you fighting so hard to fuck it up? You’re especially fighting against these specific girls’ futures, since they’re female basketball players, ifyouknowwhatimean.

  16. Young women playing with balls inspires ex-politician.

  17. We all know Sarah Palin is an anagram for her Mexican sexual predator name: “Las Piranha”

  18. Extemporanus says at 2:18 pm, October 27th, 2009

    Hey all you tenaciously athletic young whores, pre-order your copy of ALASKAN PSYCHO today!

  19. proudgrampa says at 2:19 pm, October 27th, 2009

    Nothing like a little hot female basketball action…

  20. Gopherit says at 2:20 pm, October 27th, 2009

    RoscoePColtraine: She didn’t write it, did she? hell, she can’t even spell facebook.

    Though it would make me feel better if she actually controlled her own FB account……getting banned by her would make me feel special.

  21. shadowMark says at 2:21 pm, October 27th, 2009

    This note was posted at 12:36am. I wonder if Sarah was dressed as a high school girl when she posted it…

  22. PoignancySelz says at 2:21 pm, October 27th, 2009

    She’d have no problem with the trash talk.

    You know who ELSE liked to watch girls play basketball?

  23. V572625694 says at 2:21 pm, October 27th, 2009

    Turning and turning in the widening gyre
    WALNUTS! cannot hear Snowbilly;
    Things fall apart; the Right cannot hold;
    Mere Socialism is loosed upon the world,
    The Fascist tide is loosed, and everywhere
    The ceremony of Democracy is drowned;
    The best lack all conviction, while Snowbilly
    Is full of passionate intensity.

    Surely some improvement is at hand;
    Surely The One is at hand.
    The Great Obama! Hardly are those words out
    When it troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;
    A black man born of a white woman,
    A gaze fierce and pitiless as the sun,
    Is moving his slender thighs up the links and down the court to the hoop.

    O’Reilly, the ignorant desert bird,
    Calls into darkness, drops again, but now I know
    That eight years of stony sleep
    Through a nightmare where
    Some rough Bush, its hour come round at last,
    Slouched towards Baghdad.

  24. nbawriter says at 2:23 pm, October 27th, 2009

    Why can’t she enjoy a fucking basketball game like anyone else?

    Fucking psycho weirdo.

  25. Extemporanus says at 2:24 pm, October 27th, 2009

    shadowMark: More likely, she was field dressing one.

  26. I had my doubts when Palin said she was retiring to be in a more politically effective position, but that’s because I hadn’t counted on her moving from the Governor’s office to some high school bleachers. You win this round, Sarah.

  27. AnnieGetYourFun says at 2:24 pm, October 27th, 2009

    And by “counting on us to do the right thing”, I mean, “ensuring that they are ignorant of the most basic workings of the human reproductive system.” Also, that they “have no access whatsoever to the kind of care and health services that could protect them from deadly sexually transmitted diseases, both before and after consensual AND forced intercourse.”

  28. magic titty says at 2:27 pm, October 27th, 2009

    wimmins cant play no sports.

  29. V572625694 says at 2:27 pm, October 27th, 2009

    AnnieGetYourFun: It worked for Bristol. What’s your point?

  30. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 2:29 pm, October 27th, 2009

    Meh, TL/DR. Okay, I lie. All I got from this posting was [random psychopolitical blah blah blah] But there is an alternative! [paragraph break] [more random psychopolotical blah blah blah] But there is an alternative! [paragraph break] [lather, rinse, repeat]

    Think she just plugged in a random paragraph macro and hit Enter?

  31. CapnFatback says at 2:30 pm, October 27th, 2009

    Pic?

  32. Smoke Filled Roommate says at 2:30 pm, October 27th, 2009

    America clearly needs more points in the paint.

  33. RoscoePColtraine says at 2:32 pm, October 27th, 2009

    jetjaguar: Gopherit: Any of you English teachers with highly specialized noses for plagiarism care to weigh in on the sudden improvement in Sarah’s writing abilities?

  34. chascates says at 2:37 pm, October 27th, 2009

    RoscoePColtraine: Check out her earlier posts. She has footnotes, properly arranged arguments, clear prose.

    It’s almost as if she’s a different person when she writes. Same on her WSJ articles.

    Weird.

  35. “I want them to realize every opportunity this great, free nation can provide.”

    And then they get knocked up, thanks to the piss-poor “sex education” you pushed for as governor.

  36. shadowMark says at 2:43 pm, October 27th, 2009

    RoscoePColtraine: I think the Cato Institute has inserted a chip in her. So long as she stays near a wifi hotspot her babble is at least coherent.

  37. CapnFatback says at 2:44 pm, October 27th, 2009

    RoscoePColtraine: The reliance upon the dash for emphasizing parenthetical clauses can mean only one thing: Bill Ayers wrote Dreams from my Father.

  38. SayItWithWookies says at 2:45 pm, October 27th, 2009

    “The Letters of Sarah Palin” — ha ha, that’s precious. “Why, all twenty-six of them, Katie.”

  39. leftcoaster says at 2:46 pm, October 27th, 2009

    “High school basketball players” is code for Real America, code for the bitchy, popular girls who’d make fun of your first-day-of-school outfit because you got it at Sears. The sort of people who do not grow up to become bloggers.

  40. RoscoePColtraine says at 2:49 pm, October 27th, 2009

    chascates: shadowMark: CapnFatback: William Shatner would be hard pressed to turn this shit into performance art. It’s too dull, for starters.

  41. Come here a minute says at 2:50 pm, October 27th, 2009

    She should show some respect for those players (AND THE TROOPS) by watching the damn game instead of typing on her stupid Facebook.

  42. PlanetWingnuta says at 2:51 pm, October 27th, 2009

    Gopherit: i got banned from someone doing her facebook cause i cant post comments there anymore…so much for free speech eh? lol

  43. Cupcakery says at 2:53 pm, October 27th, 2009

    I just scanned “her” posts. I put that in quotations because she has signed all of them, but really, does anyone believe she’s writing that stuff? Anyone who’s heard her mangle the English language can hardly believe she had the skills or attention span to write this much on policy, complete with footnotes from various periodicals and books, along with references to “Baroness Thatcher” (really, she knew to call her that?) and explications of Jewish high holy days. Maybe it’s standard to employ ghostwriters for biographies, but should it be necessary for a facebook page? Just sayin.

  44. Cupcakery says at 2:54 pm, October 27th, 2009

    I just read your entry on Palin’s speech to the young basketball players. Then I clicked through to SP’s FB page and scanned “her” posts. I put that in quotations because she has signed all of them, but really, does anyone believe she’s writing that stuff? Anyone who’s heard her mangle the English language can hardly believe she had the skills or attention span to write this much on policy, complete with footnotes from various periodicals and books, along with references to “Baroness Thatcher” (really, she knew to call her that?) and explications of Jewish high holy days. Maybe it’s standard to employ ghostwriters for biographies, but should it be necessary for a facebook page? Just sayin.

  45. jetjaguar says at 2:56 pm, October 27th, 2009

    RoscoePColtraine: Reverse double-lobotomy?

  46. x111e7thst says at 2:57 pm, October 27th, 2009

    Apparently when Sappho wrote:

    For even if she flees, soon she shall pursue.
    And if she refuses gifts, soon she shall give them.

    she was talking about girls’ basketball. Who knew.

  47. bitchincamaro says at 2:58 pm, October 27th, 2009

    Lionel Hutz Esq.: That’s not funny, that’s sick.

  48. desertwind says at 3:00 pm, October 27th, 2009

    Her publisher is writing that shit. No doubt about it.

  49. shortsshortsshorts says at 3:01 pm, October 27th, 2009

    DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT SHE MUST FEED TRIG SOMEHOW? TEENAGE GIRLS PROVIDE THE PROPER NUTRIENTS. SHAME ON ALL OF YOU.

  50. teebob2000 says at 3:02 pm, October 27th, 2009

    “… watching their firm buttocks flexing inside their too-tight satin school-supplied regulation and mandated gym shorts … how, when they extend and jump up to rebound, or block a shot — as they invariably must — their taut, ripe bellies are exposed, just momentarily, as in a waking dream … how they dive and scramble for a loose ball, just as the Barracuda taught them to — “girls, always give up your body for the team,” I’d say — and they tumble sweatily over each other, a flash of white or pink panties between their entangled golden legs …”

    “Alright, girls, let’s hit the showers! And I’ll be checking you again this time!”

  51. RoscoePColtraine says at 3:04 pm, October 27th, 2009

    I think I figgered it out. Sarah’s a rich bitch now, right? Six figure paychecks for giving speeches and whatnot. OK, so here it is: she’s paying some kid to do her writin’ for her. Much the same way one pays a kid to mow the lawn once a week, or babysit so one might enjoy an evening out with the spouse.

  52. PoignancySelz says at 3:06 pm, October 27th, 2009

    Smoke Filled Roommate: I wonder if they’re running the triangle offense.

  53. assistant/atlas says at 3:11 pm, October 27th, 2009

    Crank Tango: In this case, fake=black, right? Not fake=hippies or fake=ghey …. although if we’re talking specifically “women basketball players”, I would definitely bet heavily on the lezzies over the straight gals.

  54. norbizness says at 3:13 pm, October 27th, 2009

    Just fucking stop already.

  55. AnnieGetYourFun says at 3:14 pm, October 27th, 2009

    teebob2000: I’ll be in my bunk.

  56. Buzz Feedback says at 3:15 pm, October 27th, 2009

    I don’t know whether to cry or masturbate.

  57. bitchincamaro says at 3:22 pm, October 27th, 2009

    Buzz Feedback: Why can’t we do both?

  58. teebob2000 says at 3:29 pm, October 27th, 2009

    PoignancySelz: They’re trying, but it’s complicated so they’re a bit fuzzy on the details.

  59. Buzz Feedback says at 3:36 pm, October 27th, 2009

    bitchincamaro: Point taken.

  60. Mac W Cheese says at 3:55 pm, October 27th, 2009

    If you can manage to read to the end of her post, SHE is writing THIS while watching the BASKETBALL game.

  61. jetjaguar: Too right. Sarah may be unemployed but it’s pretty clear she can afford the best hack writers money can buy.

    But only one phrase is worth memorizing: “tenacious young women full of energy and intensity”. Oo la la.

  62. BlueStateLibtard says at 4:05 pm, October 27th, 2009

    Energetic young people, future of our nation, think of the children, blah, blah, blah …

    Nothing that hasn’t been said a million times already, and not a single real idea among all the empty words.

  63. Shorter Palin: “I believe jocks are the future. Treat them well and let them lead the way…”

  64. Jukesgrrl says at 4:20 pm, October 27th, 2009

    “I want them to realize every opportunity this great, free nation can provide.” Like the opportunities being enjoyed by the unwed teenage mother who’s locked up in the back of her house and is only allowed to leave to pick up the mail? Or like the opportunities being enjoyed by her grandson’s baby daddy who is on the fast track to porn stardom?

  65. Young, dumb, and full of…”energy and intensity” is not the way I remember that rhyme…

  66. El Pinche says at 4:34 pm, October 27th, 2009

    Keep talkin Sarah, Levi is about to blanket your future with his fuckin balls n cack.

  67. problemwithcaring says at 4:45 pm, October 27th, 2009

    Cupcakery: Well, I happen to believe she could have wrote and spell-checked it on her Blackberry, all while standing courtside in a rambunctious gym, pausing often to gaze into nowhere.

  68. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 6:09 pm, October 27th, 2009

    Just fucking stop already.

    It’s fucking Hammer time!

  69. PoignancySelz says at 7:32 pm, October 27th, 2009

    Jukesgrrl: Check

  70. the problem child says at 8:42 pm, October 27th, 2009

    Scuttlebutt in AK is that high school basketball season has yet to start. More fiction from her fact-check-challenged ghostwriters.

  71. DoktorZoom says at 11:25 pm, October 27th, 2009

    Ah, Sarah’s been watching Personal Best again.

  72. Bad passes, air balls, gratuitous fouls, lost dribbles, a hundred turnovers and a final score of 16-8 . . . yeah, freshmen girls basketball games have that particular brand of incompetence that only a Snowbilly can appreciate.

  73. bopumofu says at 5:35 am, October 28th, 2009

    She has transcended the human sphere and is now a brand.
