Oh man this is what we get for not watching the sexy news show for old people, 60 Minutes. They had a JUICY SEGMENT last night about the hilariously awful McCain presidential campaign of 2008, with lots of scoopy revelations from top McCain adviser Steve Schmidt and also Washington’s reigning divas of snark, John Heilemann and Mark Halperin. After the jump: Steve Schmidt misuses “nonplussed,” Sarah Palin is a nutball, etc.
In an interview with the CBS news magazine “60 Minutes,” Steve Schmidt described Palin as “very calm — nonplussed” after McCain met with her at his Arizona ranch just before putting her on the Republican ticket. McCain had planned to name Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (I-Conn.) as his choice until word leaked, sparking what Schmidt called political blowback over selecting the 2000 Democratic vice presidential nominee.
Schmidt, McCain’s chief campaign adviser, said he asked Palin about her serenity in the face of becoming “one of the most famous people in the world.” He quoted her as saying, “It’s God’s plan.”
(For the record, “nonplussed” means “confused,” not “undisturbed.” Which maybe was his point after all?)
Anyhoo, also this:
So, basically, no real revelations, only more proof that John McCain, Sarah Palin, and all of their collective advisers should have been thrown into a sack of syphilitic rats before they had a chance to do any Harm to America.

If your natural, baseline state is confused, it’s easy to be calm.
Way to go fuckheads. You made a deal with the devil (who wears stolen clothes from Needless Markups.)
Note to Janmakane: This is the political equivalent of being shot down 100 quadrillion billion kajillion times.
Not only does it mean “confused, but specifically:”
Nonplus (v): To put at a loss as to what to think, say, or do; bewilder
Yeah, that pretty much was the problem.
Bless her heart. She thought Jesus was calling her crazy ass to her destiny.
The McCain/Lieberman ticket would have been fucking incredible. They would have lost by eleventy-billion votes.
He meant she was a double-plus-ungood choice for VP.
So, God’s plan was that Sara should suck the Throbbing Cock of FAIL? Y’know, I’m an atheist, but maybe I’ll have to reconsider in light of new information about God and his plan.
A state of perplexity, confusion, or bewilderment. Yup, that’s her. And me. Over her. Also.
For the record, the opposite of “nonplussed” is “plussed”. On the other hand, the opposite of “plussed” is “minused”, which, come to think of it, does seem like a kind of accurate description of Palin.
Damn, I feel stupid. I always thought it meant exactly what Steve Schmidt apparently thought it meant.
During the campaign, Palin was also repeatedly upseat that McCain constantly called her in drunken rages at 3 a.m., called her names, and said she should go back to working as the dogcatcher in Wasilla. McCain would laugh and then say, “You’re not even qualified to be dogcatcher! I only picked you ’cause I was in the middle of a coke-induced haze, and had a momentary breakdown! You’re the most stupid pick for vice president in the history of this country! Even worse than Dan Quayle and Geraldine Ferraro! You’re an idiot, a moron, and an asshole!”
The hubris being shown by anyone who claims that something is “God’s plan” just makes me shake with fury.
[re=492191]Chain Tattoo[/re]: If McCain had won, even Christopher Hitchens would have started every day with a prayer that the cranky old fool didn’t die and make Palin POTUS.
Here’s some more nuggets
“[S]he still didn’t really understand why there was a North Korea and a South Korea,” Heilemann told the program’s Anderson Cooper. “She was still regularly saying that Saddam Hussein had been behind 9/11.”
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0110/31335.html
Sarah Palin and W were BOTH chosen by God? Hmmm — I’m beginning to think God doesn’t love us that much after all.
[re=492189]magic titty[/re]: Word! Imagine the brain explosions as the fundies tried to wrap their heads around letting a Jew be a heartbeat from the Presidentiality. (Especially since they’re one of the two groups who have to pretend the hardest not to be sick of Israel.) (The other group are called “Democrats.”)
So, it was also God’s plan for Levi to drain a lizard into Bristol, right?
God is a silly fukker.
It was the Muslin God’s plan to make her lose.
And that’s why she’s going to pray really, really, really hard this time around to wash the Muslin away.
I wonder if the thought ever went through their pinheads that this moran could have been one heart attack away from being the leader of USA and that the dumb bitch could totally screw up the WORLD while winking and declaring it to be God’s plan. How do these guys sleep at night?
Uhh don’t diss 60 minutes they and PBS are your only TV sources where (for the first couple of stories, at least) you get well-presented stories of actual import. Ohh this was the lead story? OK, just PBS, but 60 Minutes can be righteous too.
Where was Sarah’s god when her ticket lost by tens of millions of votes? She should’ve known not to trust him after he failed to take the place of a condom in stopping her daughter’s boyfriend’s semen.
When you misquote Snowbilly T. Grifter, you’re not being fair to her. She never said it was “God’s plan.” After doing a line off Schmidt’s manhood, Sarah said it was “Todd’s plan.”
God’s plan = Shit happens
Seems God’s plan was for her to lose.
I read a review of the Halperin book yesterday. Sounds like the McCain staff was so “nonplussed” about Palin that they would have arranged for her to have a fatal “accident” if McCain had won, bless their patriotic little hearts.
[re=492197]gurukalehuru[/re]: I thought the same thing, but I’m not letting myself feel too bad about it. I generally speak at above a junior-high school level (which is good, because I teach classes at the graduate school level). I know I’ve seen and/or heard that word used in the “incorrect” manner dozens of times.
At least I’m more coherent that Ms. Palin, who I assume still thinks that the word “nonplussed” means “subtracted”. As in “If ya take Six nonplussed with Two, you get Three. And Three is pallin’ around with socialists. It’s a dangerous number, and I don’t want any Three’s in charge of MY country. You betcha. Also.”
[re=492191]Chain Tattoo[/re]: “God’s plan was that Sara should suck the Throbbing Cock of FAIL?”
Yeah, that’s the best part about this. She’s so ditzy, she thinks, “I’m dogcatcher of Methville, and I might go straight to President of US if the old guy dies? God must really think I’m the best!”
But she’s too dim to take the next mental step and figure, “If we lose, and I screw up with Katie Couric on national TV, and Levi reveals to the entire world what a horrible mother I am, that will mean God really hates me.”
And after witnessing Sarah’s performance on the campaign trail and in the Alaska governor’s office, God decided Snowbilly was better off being unemployed.
[re=492191]Chain Tattoo[/re]: It’s Sarah’s attempt to reclaim Jebus as the God Of Fail, from all those Xtian athletes who’ll clutch the crucifix and their nuts while staring into heaven-space, before getting called out on strikes in the big game. On the teevee. I seen it!
[re=492201]rafflesinc[/re]: “She was still regularly saying that Saddam Hussein had been behind 9/11.”
Then again, about 2/3rds of the remnants of the Republican party think the same thing. Hard not to, when Bush kept implying that at every opportunity up to the bitter end.
Hell, Sara, what have syphilitic rats done that you should subject them to that kind of punishment?
[re=492213]CaliforniaMike[/re]: Sarah P does have a problem with equating and/or confusing “God and Todd”. Todd bless America!

Well it looks like God’s plan was to have Obama elected.
I guess the droolers can STFU now.
Did God’s plan also include Levi’s balls in Playgirl? God works in mysterious ways.
So basically, even his secret boyfriend, John McCain, could not trust Joe Lieberman.
Arguably, Lieberman might have been even worse for McCain’s ticket than Palin. It would have been worth the price of admission just to see Biden eviscerate him in a debate.
[re=492230]norbizness[/re]: Prescient. You Betcha!
For clarity, he should’ve used the synonym for ‘nonplussed’: ‘minused’.
Sarah Palin = Zule’s Plan
Arf, said the caribou, nonplussed: http://www.mwctoys.com/images/review_ghostbusters_1d.jpg
[re=492235]elburrito[/re]: Hopey McUnicorn should have eviscerated him that day he backed him against the wall in the Senate and shit on his face.
Think maybe he meant “nonchalant”? In any event, the vetting via a youtube video and one lawyer on google should still have turned up her stunning incompetence.
And then there’s this lovely phrase — book described as a “long-awaited account” … http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0110/31302.html
[re=492221]Doris Ziffel[/re]: No, no; Sarah didn’t screw up with Katie Couric, she was badgered with unfair questions (like “What newspapers do you read”) and the liberal media unfairly kept replaying her misstatements because it was biased against her.
I’m reminded of Bible stories where Jesus cast out demons.
I call on America (and specifically the Republican party) for some good, old-fashioned casting out of demons! George Bush and Sarah Palin and even cranky old Dick Cheney would probably be really nice folks if someone would cast out their demons.
Since Halperin is a GOP hack, I’m guessing the rethugs are feeding him every bit of Palin poop they can to try and keep her out of the race. A shame, actually.
I recommend the development of a totally doable and potentially viable third party -The Denegerate Party – they can run Palin/Edwards 2012. Those grifters deserve each other: http://nymag.com/news/politics/63045/
God wants to do everything he can to help out Tina Fey. He loves more than anyone else in his creation.
I prayed once that God would help my high school basketball team, Rushford Tigers, beat our rivals, the Scio Tigers. I’m sure it was his plan to do so. Maybe he got confused by the names?
[re=492209]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: You just described the prior administration. And they slept soundly every night.
[re=492233]El Pinche[/re]: As was “blessed little infant” Trig. Of course, God had a bit more ‘splainin to do about that one.
See, their ‘tiger’ uniforms were cranberry and black, with gold piping. Our tiger uniforms were actually orange and black. Just like real tigers.
[re=492219]boyhowdy[/re]: Sounds like the McCain staff was so “nonplussed” about Palin that they would have arranged for her to have a fatal “accident” if McCain had won
Ooooh, the possibilities. A bomb hidden in a snow machine? Gun accident while taking Dick Cheney wolf hunting in a chopper? Something involving ice fishing and a hungry grizzly/kodiak/orca. Maybe a nonplussed amorous moose?
I’d watch that movie. If it starred Tina Fey. (No I don’t want to see Tina Fey get offed, but her portrayal of the snowbilly getting offed – by Republican operatives – would have to be pretty funny.)
[re=492188]Gopherit[/re]: I’ve been out of church for a long time, and I still fear the country driving in this direction. Still afraid that we’ll have HR-oriented meetings that require us to fill out I-9 forms, accident alert forms, and insurance paperwork. Oh, and the “I have accepted Jesus as my personal savior” form, which takes the place of binding arbitration.
“Yes, I realize a sin is forgiveable,” you’re told in your exit interview, “but a sin against the company is not.”
She probably honestly thinks God gave her a retarded baby to exploit for political gain. I still empathize, but that’s how Crazy works.
[re=492213]CaliforniaMike[/re]: A distinction with no difference, In St. Sarah’s primitive christianity Todd’s plan is God’s plan. That’s how she hears about what God wants her to do, from Todd.
[re=492262]OReillysVibrator[/re]: Yeah, I wouldn’t bet against that. Seriously.
Dear Editors,
May we please mock Ross Douthat again? I feel like he’s seriously asking for it.
Sincerely,
Snide -
Papoon/Palin 2012!
Not insane/nonplussed.
It turns out that during the Vice-Presidential debate last year, Sarah asked Joe Biden “can I call you Joe?” not out of some strange political act of looking personal, but because she didn’t even know his last fucking name. Good form, Sarah.
Finally something Palin and Andrew Sullivan can agree on – the divine right of queens.
[re=492188]Gopherit[/re]: “She thought Jesus was calling her crazy ass to her destiny.”
he was. he has a wicked sense of humor. it’s an only child thing. and he comes by it honestly, his dad’s the same way.
Have you noticed how often ‘God’s Plan’ involves the use of idiots.
People always confuse “nonplussed” and “unfazed” (or “nonchalant”).
“Nonplussed” does not mean “unfazed” so those of you with quotations around “incorrect” CAN FUCKING SUCK IT.
When I worked for a state mental health agency, we called it “magical thinking”. If you think that God is going to give you a winning lottery ticket that will solve all of your problems, you are resorting to “magical thinking” and you aren’t doing anything constructive like taking your meds, bathing or earning an income, which I guess you could call plain old regular “thinking”. This “magical thinking” was typically found in really batshit crazy people that even closest family members considered dangerous and unreliable. So, yeah, that’s Palin!
[re=492246]What Fresh Hell is This?[/re]: “George Bush and Sarah Palin and even cranky old Dick Cheney would probably be really nice folks if someone would cast out their demons.”
there are not enough swine in all god’s green earth to take up the demons that would be cast out of those three.
[re=492255]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: Trig is the second coming of Jeebus, the retarded Jeebus, you see gawd was nonplussed and forgot that the virgin St. Sarah’s eggs were passed their sell by date.
[re=492266]El Pinche[/re]: There is more than a touch of the narcissistic in evangelical christianity, its a very childlike religion, in the way that children tend to think the world revolves around them and they define everything in the world in terms of its relation to them. Jesus is “my personal” savior, my God, he blessed Me! Listen to the public prayers of these kind and the words you hear most often are “I, me, my, mine.” Of course, snowbilly grifter Sarah is a pathological narcissist anyway.
“I can make a hamburger with my mouth!”
So who did God send Andy Rooney to annoy?
If “nonplussed” means “confused,” why didn’t they call the movie, “Dazed and Nonplussed”? Explain that to me, smart-asses!
[re=492277]slappypaddy[/re]: Good point. I’ve been praying over this, and I’ve determined that they may not be possessed by demons, but may — in fact — BE demons. Boy, that’s a theological Catch-22!
I think McCain kept just one box of “McCain Lieberman ’08″ bumper stickers for himself, which he takes out when he’s alone and cries.
[re=492280]Prommie[/re]: Christopher somebody-or-other said that narcissism is really self-hatred pretending to be self-love. Oh yeah, Christopher Lasch. Maybe Sarah hates herself just like everyone else does (i.e., hates her). Also.
[re=492188]Gopherit[/re]: It’s true. Remember when God called on Phat Robertson to run for pres and then forget to make everybody vote for him? It’s typical of aging; he’s a fierce heartless wretch in the OT but waned into the Prince of Peace for the sequel – now he spends his time setting up ridiculous bobbleheads on his trophy shelf and blasting ‘em down with his air rifle. God in retierment.
Sometimes my typos are smarter’n me.
[re=492196]WadISay[/re]: I do this reasoning, but everyone laughs when I say something that isn’t on fire is “flammable.” And when I used to clear the backlash from my open reel, I’d say I had it raveled now. And I guess if you can be convinced, you’re `placable.’

[re=492197]gurukalehuru[/re]: Like `bemused.’ That don’t mean what it says it means neither.
Am I stating the obvious but why is Anderson Cooper on 60 minutes? They must be trying to bring in some viewers under the age of 80. also too
[re=492199]proudgrampa[/re]: Well hopefully there will be a “Rapture” and God will “call her home” in a chariot of fire or something, along with her entire money-grubbing, publicity-seeking brood.
[re=492295]nightshift[/re]: why is Anderson Cooper on 60 minutes? It’s to attract the gay-o-philes.
[re=492246]What Fresh Hell is This?[/re]: They ARE the demons.
[re=492299]yellowdogdem[/re]: I hope that will include Levi. Or maybe they can throw him under the wheels.
Oh, to be a fly on the wall for that one-on-one…but then the fly would drown in all that stimulus-response ignorance spewed from Shmidt and Moose-momma.
If you stick your ear in the Grand Canyon, you can still hear the echo of Schmidtty’s forehead-palm smack that emanated from Walnut’s Anti-Terr’sm/Anti-Beaner bunker in Sedona, flattening every Goldwater Repugnican onto their ass like some sonic boom last November…
So, the band director at the Wasilla Junior High School, who is 3 credits away from getting his bachelor’s degree gets a call from the Berlin Philharmonic. Turns out they want him to come over right away and be their new Music Director! He accepts, and then calmly hangs up the phone, because surely this is God’s Plan, and all he can do now is ride the magical wave of glory. Of course, he never gives a moment’s thought to the first time he stands on the podium to lead them in Mahler 5, and what the reality of that moment would be like.
Just dream, smiling faces every where you look. Just dream.
[re=492307]Aurelio[/re]: Actually, I kind of like Levi. He’s been doing his best to throw Sarah under the wheels. Got to give him some props for that.
[re=492209]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: When she screwed up the world, no matter how which way and how badly, it would have been god’s will for the fundies.
[re=492320]yellowdogdem[/re]: OK. He can ride in the chariot and whisper, “Thou art mortal” [a twunt] in Sarah’s ear.
[re=492189]magic titty[/re]: Yes, but just imagine the simultaneous orgasm emitted by half the pundits in DC upon the announcement. Years later, people would have looked back upon the announcement as DC’s “Summer of Love”
[re=492289]Bowdoin[/re]: I’m sure you know that something that can catch on fire can be referred to either as “flammable” or “inflammable.” People are usually surprised when you use “inflammable” because they think it means it won’t catch on fire. Alas (I love the word “alas”), I don’t think “placable” is a legit form for the opposite of implacable. But we could start using it like crazy and hope that it gets into the dictionary.
[re=492199]proudgrampa[/re]: There is hubris (Achilles), there is weirdness (Jesus but at least he had great PR) and then there is the insanity of saying that being picked as second banana on a sure to lose ticket is god’s will.
Fox is raising its journalistic standards:
http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/01/11/sarah-palin-to-contribute-to-fox-news/
[re=492314]RoscoePColtraine[/re]: Not a terrible analogy, except when the Jr High band director conducts the Berlin Phil you just get a sub-par musical performance; the world doesn’t get destroyed.
[re=492335]S.Luggo[/re]: Well, of course she is. It’s God’s will. Also. Too.
[re=492338]Lascauxcaveman[/re]: If they start playing the 1812 Overture, duck.
To paraphrase MiniTru and Mr. Schmidt, having Sarah anywhere within a thousand miles of the Presidency would’ve been doublenonplussedungood.
God’s plan? Why do wingnuts always think God has nothing better to do?
Michele Bachmann was similarly called by God to run for public office. The Old Guy has a lot bigger sense of humor than is reported in the Old Testament.
I think a good strategy for Palin would be to start her own Party. Let’s call it the, The Patriotic Screaming Eagle Red, White and Blue America the Best No Homos Party of God Party.
This way she doesn’t have to be a part of any of the Republican Debates.
All she has to to is watch the Debates and attack opponent’s answers from Facebook or Twitter the next day.
She can run her entire campaign from Facebook or Twitter.
“HuckB a liar. Mitt a Mormn freak liar. We need Jobs! Kill Terrists!

[re=492322]donner_froh[/re]: Remember, the fundies are praying for the end of the world to begin as soon as possible; from that point of view, wanting Palin in the White House makes perfect sense.
[re=492338]Lascauxcaveman[/re]: Yeah, but what do you think of the psychopathic egotism of the band director? Pretty spot on, huh? Psycho. Pathic.
[re=492199]proudgrampa[/re]: It doesn’t bother me, as long as they’re saying it when they’ve just had something incredibly bad happen to them.
[re=492204]bored with gravity[/re]: Who knew Old Testament God was so passive aggressive?
[re=492335]S.Luggo[/re]: I guess she’s not running for prez. FoxNews is the retirement home for conservatard/republicunt has-beens for more than a decade.
[re=492335]S.Luggo[/re]: Wait. Did that article say she RETIRED from the governorship? Seriously?
[re=492299]yellowdogdem[/re]: I think the Rapture has already occurred and the best I can tell, Steve Guttenburg was the only one taken.
[re=492288]Bowdoin[/re]: Could it be that God has the same opinion of Pat Robertson as we do and his plan really was for him (and Snowbilly) to fail and embarrass themselves?
[re=492199]proudgrampa[/re]: Everything is Gods plan.
Where you make the mistake is assuming since he/she is a benevolent God, every step of the plan must therefor be benevolent. You gotta break some eggs if you want to make a McMuffin, babe.
He/She also has a kinda twisted sense of humor, one might say somewhat pythonesque. In reference to sister Sara, the argument might go “God didn’t make her crazy and important…he just made her crazy. We made her important.”
If you try to look at the larger picture, what’s happening is her followers, the people who like to Kill for Jesus are getting pushed so far out on the wing of the American body politic that a majority of the population won’t vote for the candidates they espouse because those people are batshit crazy.
See…benevolent plan…disturbing but benevolent.
[re=492218]Socialist hip replacement[/re]: …and yet people still don’t believe in divine intervention.
If it was God’s plan to have her run for Vice-President and she didn’t win, then she must have done something to fuck up God’s plan. Doesn’t that follow? What’s the punishment for fucking up the plans of the Supreme Deity? Boils?
[re=492335]S.Luggo[/re]: Timing is everything. Murdoch’s way to get the focus off the book and interview with Schmidt letting the world know the Grifter Granny is a complete dumbass whacko. Just like it never happened.

In Steviebaby’s defense:
nonplus |nänˈpləs|
verb ( -plussed, -plussing) [ trans. ] (usu. be nonplussed)
surprise and confuse (someone) so much that they are unsure how to react : Diane was nonplussed by such an odd question.
noun
a state of being surprised and confused in this way.
ORIGIN late 16th cent.: from Latin non plus ‘not more.’ The noun originally meant [a state in which no more can be said or done.]
nonplussed |nänˈpləst| |nɑnˈpləst| (also nonplused)
adjective
1 (of a person) surprised and confused so much that they are unsure how to react : he would be completely nonplussed and embarrassed at the idea.
2 informal (of a person) not disconcerted; unperturbed.
USAGE In standard use, nonplussed means ‘surprised and confused’: : the hostility of the new neighbor’s refusal left Mrs. Walker nonplussed. In North American English, a new use has developed in recent years, meaning ‘unperturbed’—more or less the opposite of its traditional meaning: : hoping to disguise his confusion, he tried to appear nonplussed . This new use probably arose on the assumption that non- was the normal negative prefix and must therefore have a negative meaning. Although the use is common, it is not yet considered standard. The preferred spelling is nonplussed.
[re=492466]Cape Clod[/re]: No. Doing occasional co-hosting gigs on Faux News. God’s plan. I think God’s plan will eventually include something even more humiliating, so let’s all pay attention.
I always believe that woman is only here to make money….she is not running for shit….good riddance.
[re=492198]thefrontpage[/re]: Like McCain has spoken that coherently in the last 25-30 years.
[re=492332]yellowdogdem[/re]: Yes, and `unravel’ and `ravel’ also mean the same, which is sort of the reason I used ‘em. And I’d be happy if we could just stop folks from using `irregardless.’
[re=492414]doloras[/re]: Yes! I acquaint everything to The office, like when Pam and Jim induce the fascist dork Dwight to buy and wear a purse from the hottie selling ‘em in the conference room as a means of hitting on her. Dwight is so suggestible, just like all dumb fundies. Remember when Jim plugged a long cable to Dwight’s computer and ran it outside and up a light pole just to watch the dweeb climb up after it? This is the campaign trail in the eighties, our boy Pat buoyed by straw polls in Florida.
[re=492210]OReillysVibrator[/re]: As I said yesterday, I love listening to 60 Minutes (live on Monday morn, my time) – it’s sometimes an interesting look into American elite society… and yesterday’s 60 Minutes was brilliant, with the story of what a desperate cluster-fuck the Palin selection was for McWALNUTS… how their doomed love was a mistake from the very beginning, from when the leader of McFail’s selection team found BibleSpice on Utube whilst cruising for porn, to her selection as VP since Senator Juan’s first love, the loverly and coquettish Joe LIEberman, discovered by the GOOPer-volkto be an unrepentant jew, to the Sisyphian efforts to cram Sarahcudda’s otherwise empty head with knowledge familiar to literate adults, and her Retardilicious inability to tell Obama and Biden apart (her’s a hint, Sarah – Biden is a bit older) thus addressing Biden as “O’Biden” during the debate… GO Palin 2012!!!1!!
Which God are we talking about here? Amaguq, Inuit trickster god? Loki? Baron Samedi? Brer Rabbit?

[re=492267]snideinplainsight[/re]: The best (“worst”) thing about Douthat is he looks like a one-time GOPer Eagle Scout turned electronics grifting neo-Depression-pop upright bassist. In fact, they might well be the same person.
The Steve Schmidt interview proved to me that based on the desperation in the last few days before Palin was selected, just about anyone who looked good on Google could have been the VP running mate of McCain, which is much scarier than anything Palin could think up.
I find the Facebook group, “It’s not okay to pick your VP from a Google search” to be timely and accurate in its sentiment. It isn’t a personal attack on Palin, but rather a group of people that really are frightened by the desperation and strategy of political campaigns in this country.
Fine the group here: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=250295736015&ref=nf
“nonplussed” = “gobsmacked”
I read a review of the Halperin book yesterday. Sounds like the McCain staff was so “nonplussed” about Palin that they would have arranged for her to have a fatal “accident” if McCain had won, bless their patriotic little hearts.
