Sarah Palin continues to be a major critic of President Barack Obama. Why are people giving her a platform? Why would anyone think she has any particular insight into national issues and how our federal government should operate? Wouldn’t it be cheaper just to mic up a grilled cheese sandwich and ask it questions? But at least she adds to the diversity of the medium, because unlike most people on our teevee boxes, she hates the United States of America.
Sarah Palin Monday night chided President Barack Obama for his support of the right to build the proposed mosque two blocks from Ground Zero in New York, saying the president “doesn’t get it.”
Oh, no? Good to see that Sarah Palin managed to get her doctorates in religious studies and political science. Finally, somebody who can speak with authority on this subject.
“It sounds cliched to say that the president is disconnected from the American people on this issue, but how else do you describe it,” the former Alaska GOP governor said on Fox News.
You want to know who else is disconnected from the American people? Sarah Palin! She lives in the middle of nowhere, thousands of miles from where the vast majority of Americans live. Which is fine! But it is sort of hard to be the voice of America. Not impossible! But it is impossible to be the voice of America when your idea of America doesn’t extend beyond uneducated white people who are Christians. And when you think that is the only kind of America that should exist, that is known as hate.
You want to know how to describe the president’s view on this issue? It’s the great American tradition of not giving a shit what other people do or want to believe. And yes, it’s pretty important to the fucking Constitution.
“He just doesn’t get it, that this is an insensitive move on the part of those Muslims who want to build that mosque in this location.”
Somebody is not getting it! Somebody is being insensitive! Perhaps with some education, Sarah Palin could understand that “those Muslims” are Americans. And perhaps she might understand that the mosque that is ALREADY THERE gets pretty crowded! That is one reason why it would be good to put another one in this location! And perhaps she can understand that cities are places where people are not just white and Christian! And perhaps, for a fucking second, she can try to understand how it feels when somebody hates you and associates you with terrorists because of your religion or your name or the color of your skin, even though you love your country. And then perhaps she can understand that she does not live in this fucking neighborhood and has no idea what should or should not be built there. There is probably a crazy homeless man who masturbates at the World Trade Center site every day, but she has no idea.
Meanwhile, the grilled cheese sandwich is tolerant of Americans who are not white and Christian. The grilled cheese sandwich lets people be. The grilled cheese sandwich does not hate American values that make white and Christian people less fucking special.
“It feels like a stab in the heart to, collectively, Americans who still have that lingering pain from 9/11.”
Yeah, gonna go ahead and assume it might feel more like a stab in the heart for people who simply want to be a part of their own community and practice their own mainstream religious beliefs in a simple manner, without being called the murderers of people who used to work in their community.
If it feels like a stab in the heart to Americans that Muslims are a part of our society so close to where the World Trade Center stood, not only do those Americans refuse to acknowledge the true nature of their country, they actually hate it.
“If the purpose of this mosque, as we are lead to believe, is to create this tolerant environment, to avoid anything like a 9/11 ever repeating, you have to ask why didn’t one of those 100 [existing] mosques already accomplish such a thing,” Palin said.
Yes, isn’t it fucking amazing, Sarah Palin, that no matter how much Muslims practice their religion peacefully and are decent, hard-working Americans, people like you still refuse to tolerate them? We certainly do have to fucking ask why people like you continue to not tolerate them! What do Muslims have to do for you to tolerate them? Oh, right, there is nothing they can do. You just have to stop hating them. That’s something you have to do. They can’t do it for you.
Meanwhile, the grilled cheese sandwich waits by the phone for someone to call it and let it give its opinion on how exactly we should restrict religion in the United States. [Politico]

Hmmmmmm.
A grilled cheese sandwich.
I’d hit it.
I have run out of clever things to say about this woman. Just shut up, Sarah. Just shut up forever, go away. You are a cynical hack who makes a living from making things worse for everybody. You’re gross.
I don’t trust any of them Middle Easterns, to be honest. Especially that peacenik beardo that went around trying to incite rebellion against the government. What was his name? I forget now, but it was definitely something furrin.
Biden/Grilled Cheese Sandwich 2016!!!
Grilled cheese is best with meat in the middle of the slices of bread.
PalinEx: For that lingering pain from 9/11.
“Why are people giving her a platform? ”
It doesn’t matter how irrelevant someone is, if they once had a prominent political role and say that they’re thinking of maybe running for president, the media will give them a platform to campaign, even when the person quit their actual relevant position a dozen years ago the presidential run talk is just a disingenuous attempt to get air time and shill books and other attempts to profit. I call this the Gingrich principal.
The grilled cheese sandwich abides.
She’s a total dingbat, but damn! Did Sarah take a shit in your lunch today Steuf?
Just doesn’t get it = My argument is too weak
I wasn’t aware Palin, (or fucking Newt for that matter), were such cool lower Manhattan urbane types. Oh, they’re not? They don’t live there?
Then kindly shut the fuck up.
Sarah Palin is a Mullahfucker!
[re=640255]MLHencken[/re]: She took a shit in all of our lunches, every day.
Jack, you have won the afternoon.
If it’s still warm, I’d be happy to give it a call.
Yes, but can the grilled cheese sandwich see Russians from its front porch?
Advantage : Palin!!!!
Why does Sarah Palin always sound like she’s rambling after a night of hard drinking? Kind of half drunk, half hungover, half pissed and half-assed?
Thank Space Jeebus that Faux-GOP-NEWS exists, or she’d only be on CNN anually in the state of mental health industry segment as the knowledgable “disgruntled former postal worker/prom queen/ice skater customer.”
Why does Sarah Palin forget that NYC isn’t REAL US America (according to her)?
Journalists used to elevate discourse, not serve as a megaphone for partisan attacks. They should be serving as the people’s representative in Washington, not merely inciting in them the familiar cycles of rage and grievance.
Shit that $arah says is on the level of brainless bilge dished out by Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan. The publishers and editors who make their profits by pretending a titillating Tweet qualifies as news should go unwatched and unread.
Like OMG Dude!
[re=640259]freakishlystrong[/re]: Yeah. I can’t believe her statement, “It feels like a stab in the heart to, collectively, Americans who still have that lingering pain from 9/11.” Actual New Yorkers in the area overwhelmingly approved the not-ground-zero not-mosque. Someone like Palin, who was not actually affected the attacks, does not have any real lingering pain from 9/11.
The coordinators of Park51 would like to put all of this in terms that Palin and ‘real America’ can understand, but the goodwill gesture hit a roadbump when their teenage daughters refuse to get knocked up by the local handsome ne’er-do-well. Something about wanting to go to college….
It takes a nation of millions to hold her up. Unfortunately.
From the Wikipedias:
American cheese was originally only white…[and] it does not meet the legal definition of cheese in many jurisdictions, and must be labeled as “cheese analog”
Sarah Palin: The American Cheese of Politics.
I heard that the grilled-cheese sandwich is actually a secret REUBEN* and wants to raise taxes.
* You know who else like sauerkraut?
The nice thing about politics in the late 19th/early 20th century is that when politicians wanted to trash someone for not being “American” enough, they were honest enough to admit that they meant not white, anglo-saxon and protestant enough
Wouldn’t it be cheaper just to mic up a grilled cheese sandwich and ask it questions?
For a second there, I thought you were advocating the microwaving of an innocent grilled cheese sandwich (which would be torture) rather than the first-amendment-respecting act of using a microphone to listen to that grilled cheese sandwich speak its mind.
Microwaving Sarah Palin on the other hand, might not be such a bad idea.
Hey Jack, I actually do have a doctorate in Political Science so I can speak with some authority on this subject. In our discipline, Palin is what we technically refer to as a “fucking shithead.” Hope this helps.
Listening to Sarah is like trying to put the toilet paper back on the roll after using it the day after CabbageFest at Leisure World. Messy and Complicated? Yes. Thoroughly entertaining? No. Unless there are red-breasted boobies and woodland titmouses.
It is good to see that Religious Bigotry trumps the Constitution.
“Nobody argues that that freedom of religion that the Muslims have to build that mosque somewhere,” Palin told Greta Van Susteren. For the mosque to be “so adamant about this exact location just a block or two away from 9/11, again, is that knife, it feels like.
I don’t usually use a knife to eat my grilled cheese, but in her case, I’m willing to make an exception.

[re=640259]freakishlystrong[/re]: Thank you, I am so fucking, fucking , fucking, cuntishly sick and tired of people ,who you know loathe NYC and its denizens , just telling me what I should feel about this city that I love. SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU ADDLED ALASKAN TWAT.
Politico will call up the grilled cheese as soon as Newt Gingrich is unavailable for comment. So, some time just before never.
How very strident of you Jack m’ boy… lighten up! This site is supposed to be funny! Those veins throbbing on your head are a good sign you’re trying too hard.
[re=640284]user-of-owls[/re]: You are a succint genius, Owls.
Sarah fails to grasp the fact that these “muslins” are also Merrikans. Muslin Merrikans, who’d a thunk it? Yes Sarah its possible to be a Merrikan who is not a born again hater, not a “real Merrikan” from some benighted shithole like you but a New York Merrikan.
So for the whole history of this fucking teabagger eruption they — with Sarah at the forefront — have been bitching and moaning about following the Constitution. Now all of a sudden the Constitution has fallen down a well or something, because you certainly don’t hear about it from them in reference to this argument. But I’m fascinated to hear that our human emotions trump the ideals of our democracy, Sarah — I just didn’t realize the rights we have included the implicit clause “until it offends a majority of idiotic white people.”
Damn Wonkette made me eat a grilled cheese sandwich.
not even that funny, just pissed. and i like that.
both of these issues will cost the Dems votes in 2010- the mosque & the gay marriage business in California.
i support both of these projects, but think about it, wonkies, -they won’t play well in the boondocks, and those religies and other rightwingers will be angry and aroused to go out and vote for the GOP (God’s Own Party).
[re=640297]Limeylizzie[/re]: Thing is, though, how do we define the jurisdictional boundaries here? It seems the greater New York area is against the mosque. Staten Island hates it. Do we just include Manhattan? Uptowners are mixed on it. Just lower Manhattan? Who is entitled to feel righteously aggrieved?
Of course, to me, it doesn’t fucking matter, because the right to build the mosque is inalienable regardless of misplaced grief. But the way emotion travels across scales is certainly something to think about here, and it’s more than an academic issue.

[re=640292]S.Luggo[/re]: “The Fat Boy has topped her,”Do you understand the disgusting and horrifying image that statement calls to mind?
Wait, so the Muslim population of New York City is roughly 600,000, and they have all of roughly 100 mosques, which means that on average, each mosque, many of which are single-room affairs, given the nature of real estate in the city, serve, on average, 6,000 people.
Yeah, why can’t they just make do with that? I can’t see any reason whatsoever why they might need any more houses of worship than they already have.
Who started the whole “insensitive” talking point anyway? Let’s all take lessons on what is or is not insensitive from Newt Fucking Gingrich and the Fox ‘n’ Friends everybody!

Thank God for Wonkette and the Wonketteers. (I’ll bet I’m not the only one you’ve talked off the ledge.)

What do Muslims have to do for you to tolerate them?
Become less convenient political punching bags.
[re=640308]Mad Brahms[/re]: Actually, funny story. About two or three weeks ago, a majority of the greater city, the white trash in Staten Island included, were fine with the idea. And now, they’re not, even though there’s been no new revelations about the project in the intervening time- none of the facts have actually changed. Now, there are possibly a few explanations:
One, random noise.
Two, some people’s simmering ambivalence somehow finally blossomed into full-on dislike, randomly, several months after the news of this project first broke.
Three, similarly, apropos of nothing, a bunch of people realized that they don’t like it after all, and changed their mind.
Or four, heavy rotation of extremely unhinged conspiracy theories about the project has led people to think negatively of it, not unlike the health care bullshit, and everything else, both because each insane conspiracy theory hooks one or two extra people, and because the saturation of negativity ends up coloring people’s perceptions of the thing, even though the facts themselves are unchanged.
I think it’s obvious which one is actually happening, and that’s a big part of why I agree that, yes, this kind of thing shouldn’t actually be subject to public opinion polls. It sure would be nice if we had people who actually cared about responsible reporting of the facts, though.
[re=640303]SayItWithWookies[/re]: They’re also fond of the saying, “There’s no right not to be offended,” but as with everything else these shit-smearing fascists vomit into the aether, it only really applies when they’re the ones offending.
Islamophobia is the new political correctness. We’ve reached a truly grotesque point in American history.
[re=640242]Neilist[/re]: Grilledcheese Sandwich/Diningroom Table 2012!
“A stab in the heart”? Give me a fucking break. Even if this venomous c-word HAD a heart, this wouldn’t stab her in it. It would tickle her in her ladybits, because it is a non-political issue that she can politicize to prey on this rapidly-decaying country’s sizeable majority of ignorant, self-centered cretins.
Who started the whole “insensitive” talking point anyway?
People who can’t bring themselves to lie and say that the Little Mosque Around the Corner is unconstitutional, people who are too sane to say that the construction of the Little Mosque Around the Corner is evidence of Islamic Triumphalism, and people who still think it’s unacceptable to wear white shoes and straw skimmers after Labor Day.
For a long time I thought right wing leaders behaved in bigoted ways because of an irrational fear of islamic extremism, but lately i’ve been thinking that it is sometimes not fear, but jealousy. When the Taliban tells an “immoral” music store to close, for example, it complies immediately, and I think there are leaders on the right that are absolutely salivating over having that kind of power. That is what this Park 51 debate is about: a test for the ability of the christian right to intimidate. My biggest fear is that once constructed, this mosque will become a target of christian militancy, possibly even the first christian suicide bomber. Is that too far-fetched? (im not making predictions, just considering a worst-case scenario).
[re=640303]SayItWithWookies[/re]: What Constitution are you talking about? This only violates the liberal constitution that actually exists; what’s important is the True Conservative Constitution that exists in the minds of wingnuts, the one which bans taxes and government regulation of the economy, the 2nd Amendment says nothing about well-regulated militias, and as is apropos here freedom of religion only applies to Christians (and only to Protestants until the 1950s or 60s).

If $arah Palin, Newt Gingrich and the other smegma-snacking cocksuckers of the right want to prevent a mosque from being built near Ground Zero because it is offensive and insensitive, I
It’s insensitive for a mosque to be built in Lower Manhattan, but it’s not insensitive to shriek into the camera every waking hour that all Muslims are terrorists and want to kill all Americans?
It’s all about “states right” when passing a No-Browns Allowed Law in Arizona, but when the city and state of New York give the go ahead to build a mosque in Lower Manhattan, Wingnuts from other places lose their collective minds.
It’s bad enough that these people make no pretense to hide their racism, but they have begun to celebrate it and wear it as a badge of honor.

No!
[re=640361]102415[/re]: Thank you for reassuring me
Ooops. What I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted is that if the wingnuts think a mosque near Ground Zero is offensive and insensitive, I propose we close all gun stores in Waco, Texas, because it is offensive and insensitive to those affected by the Branch Davidian killings. Also, all gun stores in Columbine, Colo., because the proximity to the high school where those two assholes shot all those kids.

Wait, not funny: soul-crushingly depressing.
It is clear the right is just better at drumming up issues that make the public shit their pants, the democrats look like deers in the headlights, and the intelligentsia rage while defending the basic tenants of constitutional law or the scientific method. And there are times when I wonder if there is some antidote of ignoring/countering/redirecting that quells the mass idiocy.
But I really don’t care to find it right now. Let’s rage.
And Jack is one of the family now if you were still on the fence about him.
Well, she’s very obviously a huge moron. Honestly what upsets me most about this whole mess is that none of these people so fired up about this Mosque are even from New York. They don’t even like New York. The people still so sore and upset about this didn’t have to watch it from their window when it actually happened. But hey, I guess you can’t leave the preservation of Ground Zero to a city full of gays and Muslins.
[re=640316]mumblyjoe[/re]: Well, if they are like most Christians, they only go to Christmas service once every five years, Easter every tenth year, so if they are “Real Americans,” they’d only need, like, four mosques.
Well said, sir, well said indeed.
This dingbat has done the impossible – made George Bush seem intelligent.
I really think it’s more offensive to have people from nowhere states like Alaska taking smiling photos of themselves and their fat spawn in front of Ground Zero like it’s Cinderella at Disney World. Or maybe buying and wearing items decorated with meaningless slogans and images that they don’t understand are wildly inappropriate and a “stab in the heart” to most new yorkers.
I’ve been debating this shit on facebook all day, this hits the nail on the head…but they don’t like being called bigots when they’re bigoted, so I guess it wouldn’t change their minds.
I tell you, I’m going to get very upset if the Catholics try to build one of their churches anywhere near a school… after all their kiddie diddlin’ and all. I’m just sayin. It’s just another knife to the heart of those of us who like (and don’t molest) kids.

Doesn’t she understand that she does more than Al Kaida to undermine American strength, power, position of respect in the world when she addresses the President like this: “How’s that hopey-changey thing going for you?”
Oh yeahhh, that’s the Steuf…
Sarah, you need a good swift kick to the cunt. Welcome to America. Sorry if you find our freedoms to be insensitive to your delicate Canadian heart! Muslims have always been in New York. These particular ones, the ones that live and work downtown near the financial district, ran screaming as the WTC collapsed. What kind of fucking Nazi would say there is a no-Muslim zone for 10 blocks around the Ground Zero? I HATE HICKS!!! READ THE CONSTITUTION!!! STAY AWAY FROM GROUND ZERO, IT’S NOT YOURS!!
[re=640338]mumblyjoe[/re]: No, it’s true, and it’s not just FOX; it’s every other outlet as well pretending there are even legitimate grounds for debate in order to make copy and actually giving blowhards like His Newtness airtime. It’s pretty depressing, and I think you’re right on that this become Death Panels II: Electric Boogaloo.
This guy’s a bigot too-
“I cannot imagine that Muslims want a mosque on this particular site, because it will be turned into an arena for promoters of hatred, and a symbol of those who committed the crime. At the same time, there are no practicing Muslims in the district who need a place of worship, because it is indeed a commercial district. Is there a side that is committed to this mosque? The fact is that in the news reports there are names linked to this project that costs 100 million dollars!…”

Umm, yeah. I’ll get right on telling my friends who live a block away from that proposed site that they clearly don’t live there, because it’s “a commercial district”, and obviously those definitions are completely ironclad in Manhattan, where nobody ever lives above a storefront or anything, and there are never apartment complexes constructed a block or two away or anything, either. You know, like this one, right here.
While I’m at it, I’ll also have to tell my mother, who lives in an apartment in a “commerical district” in the suburbs, also inexplicably above a storefront. Everyone knows you can’t live in or near a “commericial district”, ever!
But, yeah, great job confirming that opposition is generally inversely proportional to familiarity with that actual part of Manhattan.
At this point I don’t just hope they go ahead with building the cultural center that includes the mosque: I hope they make sure it’s the BIGGEST FUCKING MOSQUE EVER, its minaret extending far into the sky, like a giant middle finger that can be seen clear over in Inbredmethfreakville, Alaska.

I wish this neverending Sarah Palin skit would just end in Monty Python style ending with a giant mosque landing on the Palin family. that would be great.
I’m a little late to this comment-party. But Jack: You’re right.
I wish Obama had quoted the First Amendment in his remarks about the right to build the mosque. I’d like to hear how the TP’ers would respond to “the plain language of the Constitution”.
I have just two questions for Ms. Palin:
1) *Exactly* how far away, measured in precise meters or yards or grizzly bear cubits, does a mosque or Islamic center have to be from Ground Zero for it to be acceptable for New York Muslims to practice their Constitutionally guaranteed freedom of religion?
2) *Exactly* how close, measured in precise meters or yards or grizzly bear cubits, do surviving 9/11 rescue personnel need to be to Ground Zero to not have their health benefits blocked by the GOP?

I believe $arah referred to 51 Park as the “9/11 Mosque”, not the Ground Zero Mosque, in a so called interview with Greedy $u$terrine.

[re=640292]S.Luggo[/re]: There is no way I am clicking a link involving a fat boy topping Sarah Palin.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Obama rolls out the Imam behind all this, the same guy who dealt with Shrub, in late October to do press confrences and lay a sob story to get public opinion on his side, thus making the teatards look like right, unamerican bastards?
[re=640657]One Yield Regular[/re]: Excellent points! And in support of your first point…have you ever seen the size of the city blocks in NYC? If the mosque is going to be two blocks from Ground Zero, it will be at least a half-mile away! Who could even SEE the darn thing from Ground Zero?
And let me add a point of my own…if Ground Zero is so sacred, then why are the powers-that-be in NYC constructing an OFFICE BUILDING (a temple of Mammon) on the site? The worship of Allah is “insensitive”, but the worship of the almighty DOLLAR is okay?
Why can’t someone do a rant like that on a weekend round table show? Someone who’s, maybe, running for office and has a set of nads? Or even a woman who has the nads in a jar that she keeps offering around for everyone to inspect? Or even the president?
As a Muslim, I thank Allah for guiding you to write this and putting into words the frustration and annoyance I feel at the non-issue issue.
[re=640268]Urbanachiever[/re]: Any just what books and magazines does this grilled cheese sandwich read?! Also.
As a Christian, I thank God for people like Jack Steuf who say what we all are thinking.
Sarah Palin – go fuck yourself.
[re=640740]madirishman[/re]: Not just an office building, but the main offices of the New Yorker are going to be located there. And people are worried about “desecration”, etc.
[re=640432]102415[/re]: Ballin with the Uighurs is a pretty damn awesome idea! Drinks, khat, and seafood are on me and other libtards whenever we visit.
Hey dude your the Hater. Look at how many times you use the word “FUCK”
So why is it hate when she speaks her point of view and conservative values and it’s ok for jerks like you to use terms like hate to describe conservatives.
If you wana take it a step further who the hell are you to say who Americans should or should not Tolerate?
You need to have your head examined! Your Liberal Rant is just that a rant.
How can you say you repect the constitution but yet you refer to it as the “Fucking Constitution”
What the hell is wrong with you.
What makes you think that you have to have a diploma from some liberal university to a state fact? Or give an opposing opinion.
You and all your liberal zombies just want those who dont think like you to shut up, because everytime we debate you. YOU LOSE ON SUBSTANCE AND FACT!
Get your facts straight you weak little liberal!
Barrack Hussein Obama is a Communist plain and simple that’s why Conservatives dis-agree with him and all the other Democrats and Liberals like yourself!
Ratspt
A month ago Mrs. Palin was telling us that President Obama wanted to violate the constitution and boss us all around.
Today she’s bitching that he won’t.
My head hurts.
She’s a liar, phony and transparent,because of her I’ve had unpleasent reactions with fellow Seniors in my community ( How anyone could possibly give her credibility is beyond belief)Yet they do? The worst of it is her disrespect for Our President who bears the burden of another bunch of Criminals and Liars who accomplished nothing but chaos and the deaths of innocent’s.What the hell happened to Integrity (If there ever was any) in the GOP? I coined a term “The Repugnants” (At least I think I did)It’s sad that we have elected Politicians who think so little of us they have the arrogance to flaunt their disdain in our faces ! I cant remember a time when I felt fearful of the election of a Republican (Tho It did’nt make me happy)I always felt secure because they were fellow Americans,I no longer have that confidence and that feeling of security. The day has come when we must be very wary , Given a chance they will stab us in the back if we allow them to take power! They’ve shown their true colors don’t forget this past couple of years the GOP has turned it’s back on America.
Off topic but I considered for a moment registering at Politico so I could bash some wingnuts and that bald wonder Mike Allen for his always palpable conservative bias…then, meh it’s politico. So instead I decided to come here and mock this dingbat ratsp. First off, oh king of cranial capacity, it’s you’re. If a wingnut ever actually managed to use the correct version of your in a sentence I’d probably keel over and die. Most of them just hedge with the ultra intellectual Ur. Right Dr. Wingus, Jack here is disparaging the constitution by calling it the “fucking constitution”, not offering it as an emotional point of emphasis against this vapid tart you and the other inbreds masturbate to constantly; and he’s also telling people how to think, which Sarah Palin and Newt NEVER do while preaching to the choir on Fox, “How dares U Jack and you’re Steuf!, sounds french to may!”
Yep, Ratspt we’re the zombies here for dissenting against a moronic opinion that polls closer to the majority than it ever should; not the ones like you out bashing others for dissent because duh, “we hates thems muslins!” is such a logical opinion, you’re right! He does lose on substance and fact because as previously mentioned who can counter “we hates thems muslins!”? It’s perfect logic if I’ve ever seen it. Not to mention calling President Obama (that’s right oh sewer of seed in your sisters vagina, President Obama) a communist is about the most uneducated and illogical thing a person can do, hence bringing you full circle. Congratulations! You’ve just earned a BS in nonsense *BS not meaning Bachelors in Science* from Beck U and now you can brag to the other ‘baggers about “you’re degree!”
I’ll never understand the wingnut obsession with this dumb bitch, it’s like they’ve never been laid before and a wink from her is enough to hold them all forever….wait a tick, it makes sense now! All I can surmise is the wingnut male love is Sarah Palin is egotistical because as we all know deep down inside wingers like ratspt and Erik son of Erik love the cock. She is a dumb bitch, staggeringly so, even. No disrespect to the females of Wonkettia but sometimes you just have to call them what they are and if you ever need to define what a dumb bitch really is, this is the Alpha of dumb bitches. Her opinions are never rendered with even the slightest hint of policy knowledge; you’d think after being unemployed this long Sarah the baby dispenser would have read something, somewhere; and you’d be wrong for thinking so.
She’s the update to the 1990′s Jerry Springer demographic: the idiotic uneducated white trash who watched his show while sucking down beer and hurling what bon-bon’s went unconsumed at the television has grown up and somehow has regressed from her primordial state. She’s not even Bush with tits, that’s too lofty of a standard; no she’s Joe the Plumber with optional uterus. She’s the Blue Colar Comedy groupie; the chick who hangs around after has-been 80′s uber pansies Poison finishes a show so Brett Michaels can add her to his bedpost. She’s everything wrong with this country, it’s spiraling education and family torn apart by the ravages of unfettered capitalism; a world where ignorance is king and dog eat dog applies to one’s own siblings. In other words she’s a classic ‘bagger and a dumbfuck for all seasons and yes the terms are interchangeable.
[re=640803]ratspt[/re]: That was entertaining. It was also incoherent drivel, but at least it was entertaining incoherent drivel.
Fuck this shit. I’m getting my ticket for the Peace Train… & if none of the rest of the motherfuckers WHO SPEAK AMERICAN (as I do) want to join, well, fucking piss off.
[re=640807]Broken Malice Machine[/re]: ♫ Somebody doesn’t like Sarah Pay-lin! ♫
[re=640803]ratspt[/re]: I see you’re putting your diploma from the Palin School of Logik and Smart Thinkun to good use.
[re=640803]ratspt[/re]:

OMG, that is hilarious. Thanks for the commments.
[re=640803]ratspt[/re]: If you wana take it a step further who the hell are you to say who Americans should or should not Tolerate?
Comedy gold!
[re=640803]ratspt[/re]: I and many other commenters on this site have what is known as a college degree, not a college ‘diploma’. Diplomas are awarded to high school graduates.
Now, as college graduates and all-around intelligent people, we commenters have a fairly good idea of how to construct sentences in proper English and make a coherent argument, unlike yourself.
I suggest that instead of defending the indefensible Ms. Palin, that you return to school and learn how to spell, use correct grammar and piece together a logical statement about Ms. Palin that actually makes sense.
[re=640803]ratspt[/re]:
“How can you say you repect the constitution…”
See, that’s our problem here at Wonkette–no repect!
I’m just logging in to say this is a wonderful article that sums up exactly what I’m thinking.
Is that cheese sandwich on white bread?
And is it American cheese?
Or, even better, pasteurized, processed, American cheese-food product?
Hey “Broken Malice Machine” your a Liberal and your less than 20% of the majority. Yes President Barrack Hussein Obama is a commie just like you.
Your the Rabid Hater.
Why do you omit the middle name? Are you ashamed of it?
No I don’t hate anyone and I dis-agree with you just as much you hate what you say.
So get over it.
Over 60% of americans sill vote against all you liberal canidates in november your side wil lose many house seats and senate seats.
so just keep talking your shit.

[re=640805]TomandLou[/re]: Relax! just say “Well, all her daughters are whores.” That usually quiets them down then change the subject to pudding. Everyone likes pudding.
[re=641457]ratspt[/re]: You, bitch, are not invited to Bermuda where they have good health care and good looking rich people. Seriously. Just sit at home in your own piss and you’re not getting a dime from me!
“@Mista Eko”: It’s hard not to look like a deer in headlights when facing nitrous-oxide-breathing hyenas.
@Bordo: Gored the whole team and stamped on the harness, you. Well done.
[re=641042]Libbygirl[/re]: I just checked my pects. Maybe I need them done again. Ratspit works out, clearly, and wants to show off his repects, perhaps.
I hope the grilled cheese sandwich doesn’t have to wait too long for somebody to smarten up and call. I wouldn’t want it to get stale waiting. Look how being stale has effected Sarah. McCain should have asked the grilled cheese sandwich to be his running mate. It would have been a more interesting campaign and we wouldn’t have had to listen to that shrill squawk of hers every time she opened her mouth. A grilled cheese sandwich would have a nice smooth way about it. Not all nasty, snarky and indigestion inducing. And just think of the money the campaign would have saved on clothes.
Wow, did I notice an absence of the typically hipster ironic pose for this column, replaced by an angry red faced rant? If so, then good on you I say! More, please…
I need to do a video for youtube or something and show people all of us white freekin Muslims who are settler invader Europeans like the rest of them (Sarah Palin and the other hicks) who think they are “original” Americans. We are not Arabs, we are not foreigners and they are not going to section 8 our religion…not on MY soil!
