Sick of it yet, or were you sick of it before you even knew Sarah Palin existed? Well, sorry, her book is coming out next week and we will just post one comical, reportedly true excerpt after another, until the whole book has been paraphrased by the liberal media, and denounced by the actual people who were there. Next up: “She writes that she sat down with Katie Couric in part because she felt sorry for her, after Nicolle Wallace, a McCain aide, said Ms. Couric suffered from low self-esteem.” A McCain advisor calls this “ridiculous!”
A McCain adviser I just spoke to adamantly denied the claim, and provided a counter story: Palin was repeatedly urged by McCain aides to prepare for the interview, but refused.
Palin claims in her new book that she agreed to sit down with Couric partly because she felt sorry for her, after senior McCain adviser Nicolle Wallace told her that Couric suffered from self-esteem problems. It’s understandable that Palin would try to deflect blame for the interview: It was a disaster that hastened her unmasking as unqualified for the presidency.
“It’s not true,” the McCain adviser I just reached said, laughing heartily at the claim. “It’s ridiculous.”
Other claims the AP is reporting:
- Sarah Palin writes that she never wanted to run for vice president, but felt sorry for John McCain, who had low self-esteem, and so she allowed him to ask her and allowed herself to accept it.
- Sarah Palin writes that she could have taken an interest in public policy, but she knew that public policy suffered from high self-esteem, and she wanted to take it down a notch.
- She could have not equated Barack Obama to terrorists, but she felt sorry for the terrorists who had low self-esteem, and wanted to do a nice thing for them by comparing them to the lovely Barack Obama. Then they would become soft and very killable.
- She could have won, but she felt sorry for Barack Obama, who had low self-esteem, and so… you get the point.
Meanwhile, on Facebook, Sarah Palin is FURIOUS at these low self-esteemed leeches in the media who are excerpting her book as the release date nears. Apparently these arbitrary media embargoes mean nothing to the sad sacks at the AP!
Keep Your Powder Dry
Today at 11:34amAs you probably have heard, the AP snagged a copy of my memoir, Going Rogue, before its Tuesday release. And as is expected, the AP and a number of subsequent media outlets are erroneously reporting the contents of the book. Keep your powder dry, read the book, and enjoy it! Lots of great stories about my family, Alaska, and the incredible honor it was to run alongside Senator John McCain.
We can’t wait to hit the road and meet so many on the book tour! See you in Michigan first…
- Sarah Palin
Translation: BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY. I have low self-esteem!
McCain Adviser Denies Palin’s Claim She Granted Couric Interview Because She Pitied Couric’s Low Self Esteem [The Plum Line/Greg Sargent]
{ 100 comments }
Terrorists who had low self what? Self-destructing explosives?
Palin felt sorry for Couric? Wow. Her level of bitchiness just reached GRITS level: Girls Raised in the South.
“Bless her heart…!”
This proves that Sarah Palin is the sorriest politician alive.
The Terrorists had low self? Do you mean they were all short; it is true that short men deserve our pity.
It looks like Palin quit in the midst of her ridiculous claims, just like everything else.
Sorry! It has been fixed. Wordpress ate half of it and so I retyped it super quickly. It is probably even worse now!
Felt sorry for her? Oh, please. She probably gave Couric the interview because she (and the handlers) assumed it would be all puffballs and perky Today-era questions. What a shock it must have been to have had that tough question about newspapers she reads.
Why didn’t the McCain campaign just let “Sarah be Sarah?” They knew they were going to lose anyway, at least they could’ve forestalled the snowbilly’s rise to prominence. I would’ve forgiven them for selecting her — oh, the hilarity that would have ensued.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I hate self-esteem.
My daughter recently threw away all her “participation” ribbons…”they mean nothing” she said.
This just shows that Sarah Palin is unable to accept any responsibility for her own stupidity and suffers from having way too much self esteem way out of proportion to what little intellect/talent/morality/personality she actually has.
“Palin was repeatedly urged by McCain aides to prepare for the interview, but refused.”
This has the ring of truth to it, doesn’t it?
McCain must rue the day….
Keep your powder dry and don’t blow your whole load, boys.
I’m convinced now that Sarah Palin was perpetrated on this country by the Russians as some colossal joke.
Who the fuck says “Keep Your Powder Dry” anymore? God I loathe these retards.
These Sarah Palin blingees will only be complete when they can incorporate the sound of her laughing in the Oprah interview. Over, and over, and over again.
See you in Michigan first? Like this state doesn’t have enough problems already?
You may have well written an article about anything, because when you post the banana penis parade (protest?), nothing in this world can take my attention away from it. Nothing in this goddamn crazy world.
She may be able to see Russia, and Putin’s head looming, from where she lives, but reality is apparently far beyond the horizon.
Palin Also Revealed to Katie Her Favorite Supreme Court Justice
http://satiricalpolitical.com/2008/10/02/palin-reveals-to-katie-her-favorite-supreme-court-judge/
Omigosh you guys, Sarah Palin is such a nice lady…whiffing easy softball questions so thoroughly that it made Katie Couric, fucking perky Today Show Katie Couric, look like a serious, credible journalist. Wow, such a nice, nice lady that Sarah Palin.
“Cleveland Esteemer” comes immediately to mind.
[re=458083]freakishlystrong[/re]: All republicans, and even worse, teabaggers, randians, and palintards, channel Scarlett Ohara, the men more than the women. As God is my witness, I tell you this is true. Thats why I am keeping up the fight in defense of our precious liberties that the Pilgrims prided themselves on and the troops also are fightin’ and dyin’.
[re=458074]Jim Newell[/re]: Now I feel sorry for Wordpress, which has low self-esteem.
[re=458078]engulfedinflames[/re]: Don’t worry. She is really just secretly hiding them with her 3rd grade graduation cap and gown.
Couric’s bouts with low self esteem always went away after she cashed her very large paychecks.
Does the Wonkette qualify as a subsequent media outlet?
What does “Keep your powder dry” mean? I’m not from around these parts and so it’s a little confusing. Do you powder yourself before going rogue? Is that it?
Or is she just quoting some 18th century fuckwad who we need to dig up and throw stones at?
I will keep the powder dry, if she shoves the barrel of the shotgun in her mouth.
No pity sex? Lame.
Sarah’s never heard of a book release before? She thinks that you just show up at Barnes & Noble with a car trunk full and ask ‘em to put a few on the shelves? “How dare they talk about my book before it’s out!” And uh, Sarah, when you say the AP is reporting erroneous content, you do realize that this time next week we’ll all know, right?
Alas, most authors would give their right arm for the pre-release attention this ass-wipe of a book is getting.
[re=458092]Prommie[/re]: FREEDUMBS!!1
Here’s a question for the etiquette experts:
Would it be in poor taste if I bought Going Rogue, took it home, painstakingly wiped my arse on every page, then took it to a book signing for Sarah to autograph?
Sarah Palin is the highly distilled essence of everything wrong with this country.
[re=458102]RoscoePColtraine[/re]: As an author, I would shoot myself in the face if this is what I had to write/think/say/etc. to receive said attention.
Not much to say about Sarah’s hemming and hawing, but by Gawd that is the finest Blingee ever created! Don’t stop using it until she disappears from the scene, which ought to be about 20 minutes after Oprah tears her a new one and people dissolve in hilarity reading “her” “book” next week.
One can dream, can’t one?
This will be the most obsessively deconstructed book of Mad Libs since the Bible.
I look forward to next month’s big release of “Terrorists with Low Self-Esteem.” I’m taking a trip out to the video store out by the airport just so I can get it first!
I have low self-esteem too. At first, I thought this was a major problem in my life and something that cost me hundreds of dollars in happy pills. But now I see it as a net plus because hopefully Sarah Palin will feel sorry enough for me to disappear from public life in hopes it’ll make me feel better.
I blame us Libtards for people like Sarah Palin. Why?
In the 70s, the focus on edumakashun went from facts based to feelings based so teachers were told to not “fail” kids or tell them that their ideas are stupid because it would lower their self esteem. Instead of a caring world, the old ID took over leading to an excess of little deluded yet pathetically emotionally fragile psychopaths.
In 2001, a psychological study published in Scientific America showed that criminals didn’t suffer with low self esteem, but rather way way way too much of it.
Shorter truth: Army and Marine Corps Drill Instructors were right and child psychologists were dead wrong.
[re=458096]Native of SL UT[/re]: You hit on something there. Can you imagine the grifter being in the room with Couric and not being aware of the size of Katy’s contract. Sarah may be projecting a bit in her description of Couric.
[re=458083]freakishlystrong[/re]: [re=458099]PuffAdder[/re]: Those were Captain Vere’s final words.
[re=458104]PuffAdder[/re]: It would not be in poor taste. It would be redundant.
[re=458104]PuffAdder[/re]: Yes; buying Going Rogue would be in bad taste no matter what you would do with it. Now, if you shoplifted it instead…
Sarah wanted to abort Trig, but realized he had low self-esteem, so she kept him. One day she will let him interview her, to raise his self-esteem.
Of course the only reason a candidate for the second-highest national office would grant an interview to a major network anchor would be because of that anchor’s self-esteem issues. It’s so obvious it hardly bears mentioning. Just as the only reason that former candidate and prematurely ex-governor keeps mentioning it is because she’s so calm and centered that her huge failure on national television at the hands of a notoriously softball interviewer doesn’t bother her a bit.
“Keep your powder dry” = please don’t spooge all over the cover of my book, in stores everywhere.
Wow. She’s going to have to spend all the money she makes on the book on legal fees.
Awesome!
Palin/Prejean 2012 1!1!1!
Sarah, surely you realize that AP is excerpting parts of the book that you (allegedly) wrote. How can this be erroneous, unless they mangled these parts into something that made logical sense and had some semblance of correct grammar?
[re=458104]PuffAdder[/re]: Why on earth would you want to buy the book in the first place, when Charmin is loads cheaper and is far less chappy on your ass?
How can a book of this length be comprised of only five chapters? I have a theory.
Sarah’s book:
CHAPTER ONE: Her entire life, from birth to present day. (Lots of family-friendly anecdotes.)
CHAPTER TWO: Everyone Sarah hates and why.
CHAPTER THREE: All those whom Sarah believes hate her. (Based on relentless, unfair persecution.)
CHAPTER FOUR: Retard baby, retard baby, retard baby.
CHAPTER FIVE: What she plans to do when elected President of Earth. (God promised her it would happen.)
Rush says he’s read it and it’s full of “substansive policy”.
$arah says it’s full of stories about her family, Alaska, and dumbass John McCain (I will never forgive him).
Someone is full of shit.
[re=458129]RoscoePColtraine[/re]:
My theory is less complex. She can’t count higher than five.
Every time I think SP has finally done the “full retard”, she one ups herself. Katie Couric is laughing today, and laughing and laughing, and rolling around on her piles of money, and laughing.
[re=458106]Car Ramrod[/re]: Ahh yes, well, I take your point.
There’s no chance of your powder getting wet up in your motherfuckin’ airplane.
Still, I’d pay money to watch her try to operate a flintlock. Make sure to look right down the barrel as you ram it home!
Levi’s still going to end up with more attention. Attention whore will not be pleased.
In Mein Kampf, isn’t there something about the Jews and their self-esteem?
Spoogee Blingee.
I love the quote from this morning’s WP RE Sarah’s book. Apparently Sarah claims that the Couric interviews were going well and denies that the interviews were her “defining moment of the campaing.”
A former McCain campaign official’s retort…”No sentient person would…say that.”
Folks, that’s comedy, right there in the Wash Post!
[re=458088]rabblerouser42[/re]: do you blogwhore because you have low self-esteem? Sarah Palin has a fix for that
Do Palin supporters tend to pee on their powder unless reminded not to?
Matt Drudge is running the same quotes as his banner headline. But then he always erroneously reports things.
Nothing hurts your self esteem like raking in millions while spending years presiding over a perky morning “news” show. Notice Sarah didn’t take pity on Katie because of the tragic early death of Katie’s high powered husband. Oh my damn god she better fucking run in 2012, for the comedy.
Try this next time. Gather up a few hundred dollars worth of those giant books rich people like to leave casually scatterd around the living room, Ansle Adams collections, The Grand Canyon in pictures etc etc. The ones with pages so thick they almost qualify as lumber. Bring the stack up to the checkout counter and then ask in an annoying liberal cackle like voice, “oh, do you have Palin’s latest?” If they say yes, then you respond “Well, I’ll just have to take my business elsewhere” Of course this will change nothing as regards the policy of the store carrying such tomes, but a whole generation of clerks will come to hate Palin, which is a good thing.
(Originally submitted with Coulter instead of Palin, now there is a dangerous bitch)
What the fuck does “keep yer powder dry” mean anyway. Is it a regional and/or generational thing I’m just not getting?
[re=458158]ShamWow[/re]: Have you seen his website?
His low self-esteem appears to have been overshadowed by his even lower self-awareness.
Maybe this has been asked, but WTF is a “subsequent media outlet?”
[re=458188]JesusButter[/re]: I’m guessing it just means that you need to keep the powder, meaning cocaine, dry or else it’ll be ruined. Sarah just wants to make sure her fans are in the right state of mind when they read the book to think that it makes sense.
I’d buy Palin’s book but I know that she suffers from low self-esteem and would die a thousand painful deaths at my endless mockery of it. Instead, I’ll buy Levi’s Playgirl and admire his hockey stick and ass “<a href=http://gawker.com/5403433/levis-johnston-watch-he-is-naked-with-a-hockey-stick”as smooth as a Sade song“. Hopefully this will mollify Palin’s delicate ego since it’s thanks to her that I get to see said hockey stick in the first place.
Why didn’t they just tell her Katie is like a grown-up Trig?
[re=458204]Nigerian Business Executive[/re]: You know what’s kinda funny about my HTML fuck up there? It’s that I use HTML and other languages at work every single day, and HTML is the easy one.
Anyways, so Palin’s book, eh? Won’t that be funny! Know what I mean? Also?
Yes, also.
I love how this entire crew of idiots inevitably write a bunch of shitty books about their massive, failing, train wreck lives. We should plug all of these books – Levi’s, Sarah’s, et al – into a shotgun and BLAM! Then just pick up the pieces and there’s your screenplay.
Ah, nothing says “I have a firm grasp of the most critical issues of this complex modern world” like a good musket metaphor. On facebook, no less! Why is she not President already? Is it America’s low self esteem?
[re=458104]PuffAdder[/re]: This would only be OK, if you did not pay for the book or otherwise give her royalties. I’m thinking that Seinfeld episode where George took a book with him to the toilet. Ideally do it in the store and while you suffer from E.Coli so those that do buy it are put out of their misery
Great, she’s starting out in Michigan. I’ve been noticing an unusually blood lusting strain of wingnut in the hinterlands out here. They are convinced Obama’s going to outlaw guns – like next week. And swear there will be a bloodbath when he tries. All we need is Palin getting these idiots all worked up. Remember,this is the stupid state that spawned McVeigh
[re=458102]RoscoePColtraine[/re]: I have no doubt that Palin will read and excerpt from her book at her Barnes and Noble signings, and when questioned by an attendee on an exact sentence she had read out loud, she will deny that she ever said such a thing. She’ll probably start packing up her books and complaining about the lying librul media as people read the sentence to her from their copies.
[re=458180]Pithaughn[/re]: “Palin’s latest”
That is far, far too frightening than I can imagine that there would be more than 1 Palin book ever
Kudos also on the blingees — great parade!
[re=458130]foulmouthed mrscreant[/re]: Someone? Why limit it to one?
Wow she thought she would be nice to some harmless looking old guy and nearly ended up in jail. How many women have ended up in that same situation? Bunches and you can meet some of them at Prison Pen Pals, I particulary like the Turkish chick in the Oct 15 set and think you will too. But right now we need to work together to keep everyone’s favorite Alaskan out of jail by donating to The Alaska Fund Trust the official legal fund created to defend the integrity of the Alaska Governor’s Office from an onslaught of political attacks launched against current Governor Sarah Palin, the First Family, and state-employed colleagues.
[re=458078]engulfedinflames[/re]: As long as she didn’t set up an altar with black candles and burn the ribbons then daub the ash on her face like war paint, all is probably good.
Keep Your Powder Dry
That there’s a nice little flashback to the kinds of weapons our Forefathers had in mind while penning the 2nd amendment. But since only dweebs with moth ball reeking cloths own muskets, and mrs. milf starbursts said it, I can only interpret this phrase as: keep your seed in your crotch.
[re=458105]Jim Demintia[/re]: Well stated. And exactly why we gape at the microcosmic train wreck of her, pinned by our own horror of future past, unable to look away.
[re=458083]freakishlystrong[/re]: “Who the fuck says “Keep Your Powder Dry” anymore?”
Hey, Sarah heard Grandpappy say it, and if it’s good enough for Old Pap, it’s good enough for Sarah. What the point of being a Republican if you can’t emulate the olds? She says “by cracky” and talks about foxholes all the time, also.
[re=458151]Extemporanus[/re]: That was supposed to be in reply to [re=458126]snideinplainsight[/re].
These comments are good, but nothing is ever as funny as the shit she says.
[re=458274]zenferret[/re]: You are correct!
[re=458277]Paul Tardy[/re]: What about SarahPac, Team Sarah, and Snafu, why stop at just one, possibly money laundering scheme, to rake in tons of cash from poor dumb fuckers? Oh, and pie sky, that’s the new one to help her majesty in the future. Give $arah your support, but only a little at a time, as often as you want. I mean she wants your money but has to find a way to move it around. While your at it, send a thank you note to Meg Staplemouth for making it possible to givve your savings to a grifter, I mean, quitter governor, no, no, I mean lying sack of sancrimonious fraudshit. Yeah, that’s it.
[re=458121]JMP[/re]: Please don’t punish the bookstores by shoplifting. If you must, get it for free from the libraries, although this would necessitate them ordering copies. Better yet, just steal it from some teabagger while he/she is checking his/her briefs/panties to see if the powder is still dry.
A little rock’n'roll is always good balance,

[re=458188]JesusButter[/re]: Instead of being funny, I guess I’ll actually have to answer this with a real answer, to show off. It comes from when rifles were filled with gunpowder just prior to firing. Keeping one’s powder dry (whilst sitting in French trenches, duck blinds, or whatever) was essential preparation for whatever fate might throw at you at any given moment in the way of enemy soldiers or dinner. Women during WWII, stateside, took to saying it about their makeup as a cute “we’re all in this together, sister” thing, only about two decades too late for it to make much sense war-effort-wise, unless of course the war in question was the one between the sexes, which also didn’t make much sense because all the men were either away at war or in movies about being away at war, with their own makeup problems.
Don’t forget the 1945 Lana Turner film of the same name (Keep Your Powder Dry) ~ comments won’t let me paste the poster image! All about three women adjusting to military life during wartime…
[re=458377]geminisunmars[/re]: if it shows up as shrink from the bookstore, the publisher will still get paid. Best is to borrow someone else’s copy and photograph it.

OMG!!!!
I just heard last night, on Pacifica Radio, the left’s institution of no lie truth radio, that
‘Going Rogue’ is a British slang term for unprotected anal sex!!!

Amazing how much “erroneous” reporting poor Saint Sarah is subjected to by those jackals of the yellow press. You would think, after the big spanking David Letterman got, they would mind their Ps and Qs.
[re=458440]skutre[/re]: Yes, yes. As if the meaning in American English wasn’t bad enough: “an aberrant animal living away from the pack that must be dealt with by shooting” wasn’t bad enough.
Its hard not to watch SP’s train wreck.

[re=458235]FlipOffResearch[/re]: It must be because I’m getting my period, but WHY ISN’T ANYONE SCARED??? Flipoff is right. They are out there. They will be back. You just can’t blink away the gigantic clusterfuck that the Bush administration was with an Obama win. Sarah is just keeping it alive…
Time for me to go take 3 Advil and go to bed, before I die of misery when I imagine my sweet childrens’ future under the Palintards.
Dear Lord,
Thank you for Sarah Palin and her meme-generating machine she calls a brain. May the meme about low self-esteem never, ever die, forever, amen.
I find Ms. Palin-if-your-nasty’s oversized ego and outsized self-assuredness both infinitely entertaining and maddening. She is so unaware and so resistent to self-reflection and examination it’s baffling. It’s like she’s evolved beyond being able to grasp the concept of shame. Has there ever been any politician so vacant, void, and shallow?
[re=458083]freakishlystrong[/re]: Whenever I see the phrase “Keep Your Powder Dry” I can’t help thinking of those dumb jock itch powder ads on TV.
But they’re not as bad as Cialis, Viagra, or Enzyte ads.
[re=458110]V572625694[/re]: You think that Palin Blingee is good, you haven’t seen this.
Which is nothing compared to MAD Magazine giving Palin their full attention… (smirk)
Ms. Kouric, I feel your pain … as someone who’s been struggling with low-other-esteem issues my entire life, I wish you the best of luck.
