THE GIRL CUT FROM DEBATE CLUB RETURNS  10:19 am January 12, 2011

Sarah Palin Delivers Annual State of Hateful Charlatan Provocation Address

by Jack Stuef

The blowing-up doll.
And there she is, Sarah Palin, the president of having no real job outside of making certain Americans afraid of everything but themselves for money, walking down the aisle. She shakes hands with leaders of both sides, the one that wants to kill all Muslim Americans and the one that just wants to take away all their rights. Now she makes her way up and sits on the speakin’ fireplace, flanked by Vice President of Victimhood Trig Palin and Speaker of the What Stephen Baldwin. Let’s listen in as she delivers her address.

“NO APPLAUSE BREAKS. I GET ALL THE ATTENTION. GIVE ALL THE ATTENTION TO ME. IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL, I WILL LITERALLY PUT MY GUN SCOPE ON ANOTHER MEMBER OF CONGRESS. I WILL DO IT. SOCIALISM.”

Look, people from both political parties used her map with the crosshairs on it. It was a good map! It had like all of the U.S. states on there, so you could print it out and take it with you traveling. If you used it to locate people to murder on your road trip, well, that’s freedom, right?

“And we certainly must not be deterred by those who embrace evil and call it good.” Not at all. We must give these people reality teevee shows, shower them with book money and ravenous attention, and then get shot by a person as crazy as ourselves to put us out of this misery.

Hey guys, if you hadn’t heard, America is really great. And American flags like to hang out with Sarah Palin. Coincidence?

We must not let the random acts of a criminal turn us against ourselves, because that is Sarah Palin’s job! How else is she supposed to FEED TRIG? You are basically murdering a Down syndrome baby.

“I rest my case, fireplace. Shut off the camera, Piper. No, the other button. Did you even have a tape in? Piper.”

He would know.

Yep, the media is going to have to parse this like it’s some important text. And, surprise, it’s stupid! [Vimeo/Twitter]

I loved the anti-semitism Jewish "blood libel" reference and the mention of the service at the CATHOLIC church. Gifford is Jewish, ya know. Now all we need is Barbara Boxer to agree that meh, Gabriells's hairstyle was "so 1983" and the State of the Crazy Union speech will be complete. I give it a "9" because it was easy to dance to.

I wonder how long it took her to unfurl that flag in the background just right? I bet she forced Toad to fetch the Krazy Glue to put that one crystal back into her flag pin after he and his secession buddies pried one crystal out while dreaming of being The United States of Palin, aka Alaska.

Texan_Bulldog January 12, 2011 at 10:27 am

Not to nitpick, but it was Carly Fiorina who made the bitchy mean girl comment about Boxer's hair. Boxer isn't stupid enough to say that crap on a live mic.

Barbara_i January 12, 2011 at 10:35 am

You are absolutely correct, it was Carly. My coffee still hasn't kicked in yet.

SorosBot January 12, 2011 at 10:27 am

Speaking of which, look what the asshole Erik son of Erik had to say:
http://www.redstate.com/erick/2011/01/11/whats-mi

"Through it all though, well meaning people on both sides of the ideological and partisan divide are not talking about the one thing that should be talked about — a saving faith in Jesus Christ.

In all the discussions we’re having, let’s not forget that bad things have happened throughout history, but we are seeing more and more a pattern of violence from those who reject Christ and we are seeing the most extreme rhetoric from those who reject the only real truth while embracing every other historic fad and nonsense as variations of truth. The one true way has been shunned, ridiculed, bastardized, co-opted, and buried over in psycho-babble nonsense, “find your own spirtual self” crap, and haphazard soul damning assorted other garbage."

Real nice thing to say about the attempted assassination of a Jewish congresswoman.

DoktorZoom January 12, 2011 at 10:54 am

I think I see what you mean–he shoulda said that "those who reject Christ" will be shot through the head, too.

And of course, Dr Tiller was shot at his own church BY a good Christian, but that one's OK because No True Christian is pro-choice.

SorosBot January 12, 2011 at 11:04 am

It's rather sickening, how he inadvertently (I'll generously assume) slanders the targeted victim of the tragedy in his attempt to slander atheists. Not to mention that, while it appears Jared was an atheist or agnostic, that had nothing to do with his actions – it seems he mainly targeted Giffords specifically because she has a vagina and blew off his stupid question at an earlier event.

NorthStarSpanx January 12, 2011 at 11:16 am

When I worked on the Hill, I got a call one morning from someone A. Obviously wasted, B. Possibly Mentally Ill and/or C. Just an Asshole at what would be 4 a.m. in Alaska – he wanted me to write down word for word his rambling message to the Senator and demanded I recite it back, without giving his name, zip code or any identifier that he was a real Alaskan. He was so enraged at my message taking skills, I'm glad I wasn't on a Palin map to make it easy for him to take me out.

natoslug January 12, 2011 at 11:29 am

Can we hurry up the fucking rapture, please? I'm really getting sick of these people.

genxr January 12, 2011 at 12:09 pm

I stopped reading at "Through it all though." That's just bad writing. I assume the rest was just as bad.

indecencycmdr January 12, 2011 at 12:28 pm

yes, "embracing every other historic fad and nonsense as variations of truth"… you know, that "fad" of Judaism.

glamourdammerung January 12, 2011 at 12:50 pm

I recall this "Jesus" character having issues with selfish, serial liar pricks.

ivenson January 12, 2011 at 10:28 am

It is entirely possible that she has no idea what the term "blood libel" actually refers to and just thought it was a cool word combination. She is dumb, you know.

genxr January 12, 2011 at 12:11 pm

She used the term "blood libel" to refudiate the canard.

natoslug January 12, 2011 at 1:20 pm

Why all the hatred for ducks?

trampndirtdown January 12, 2011 at 9:08 pm

She didn't think STFU faggots would be appropriate.

undeterredbyreality January 12, 2011 at 10:36 am

Easy to dance to? How can you dance when you're trying to stuff your feet in your ears to keep out the horrible screech?

Barbara_i January 12, 2011 at 6:24 pm

If I could stuff my feet in my ears my husband would have never left for work.

GOPCrusher January 12, 2011 at 1:35 pm

My first question is why does she have an American flag behind her? Wouldn't a Republic of Alaska flag be more apropos?

ManchuCandidate January 12, 2011 at 10:21 am

It's ALL ABOUT ME!!! SARAH PALIN! MEEEEEEEE!!!!

Tundra Grifter January 12, 2011 at 11:29 am

But enough about me. Let's talk about you. What do you think of me?

Cicada January 12, 2011 at 11:30 am

All right, Mr. Kristol, I'm ready for my close-up.

Not_So_Much January 12, 2011 at 11:32 am

It has been a horrible, lonely 4 days in which she was the center of exactly nobody's attention. Well, except The Gimp Glenn Beck. She's lost that magical glow and one has to wonder if Todd is threatening to 'cut a bitch' if she can't get that moneymaker churning again…

HempDogbane January 12, 2011 at 3:07 pm

Does anyone have a recording of that song they occasionally played on the (MPR) Morning Show? A woman sang it. Lyrics: "I, I, I, I, I, Me, Me, Me, Me, I, I, I, Me, Me, Me, etc."

OurHoboSenator January 12, 2011 at 10:23 am

Thanks to Sarah Palin, "Blood Libel" is now a trending topic on Twitter. I don't know who is responsible for #bootycallrules, though. Probably Newt Gingrich.

ivenson January 12, 2011 at 10:24 am

At the end, she sounds exactly like Delores Umbridge. She should have collectible kitten plates on the wall behind her.

ChessieNefercat January 12, 2011 at 10:43 am

"She should have collectible kitten plates on the wall behind her."

or maybe,

"She should have collectible kittens on the wall behind her?"

SorosBot January 12, 2011 at 10:54 am

This being Palin, they'd be kitties she'd shot and stuffed.

You know, Sarah still hasn't denied the rumor that she regularly hunts kittens.

Worthly Wokette Skum January 12, 2011 at 7:46 pm

Does Sarah have a Buddha nature?

Mew.

Terry January 12, 2011 at 10:50 am

Collectible kitten plates on which the images MOVE.

OneDollarJuana January 12, 2011 at 11:59 am

The tone and cadence actually remind me of Bobby Jindahl and his singsong kindergarten lecture of a few years ago.

SorosBot January 12, 2011 at 10:25 am

I started listening but god, that voice, the horror, I just couldn't keep going. Does anyone have a transcript so I'll know what exact terrible things the hideous famewhore said?

ChessieNefercat January 12, 2011 at 10:48 am

Shorter:

"How dare anyone criticize anyone as perfect as I? How dare you? How dare you? How dare you? This is proof that the lamestream Jewish-controlled media drink the blood of Christian children like Trig because I am a saint who didn't abort him."*

*Or give birth to him either, but that's a different story.

imissopus January 12, 2011 at 12:57 pm

Sully?

ChessieNefercat January 12, 2011 at 3:01 pm

Huh?

imissopus January 12, 2011 at 3:39 pm

Andrew Sullivan, Trig birther extraordinaire.

fuflans January 12, 2011 at 1:39 pm

you know what just sunk in – just now? i'm going to have to hear that shreiky self satisfied vapid celebutard all over the news cycle all over AGAIN.

gahhhhhh.

this country is like 'no exit' only we're stuck with dracula's harpy bride who shrieks like the nazgul.*

*sorry for all the mixed references but i'm not thinking clearly.

Texan_Bulldog January 12, 2011 at 10:25 am

Good stuff, Jack. I think her speech writer put the 'blood libel' stuff in there on purpose. After all, you wouldn't want to be thinking about honoring & talking about the victims today; NO, we must talk about Sarah Palin or the terrorists win…or something.

freakishlywrong January 12, 2011 at 10:26 am

I do not think it means what she thinks it means. Shit, SOMEBODY'S Ghost writer is going to be in deep kimchi when the tundratard gets it whispered in her ear.

Tundra Grifter January 12, 2011 at 11:30 am

"Tundratard?" Watch it – that's hitting pretty close to home…

HempDogbane January 12, 2011 at 3:17 pm

Griftard?

Tundra Grifter January 12, 2011 at 5:24 pm

Thin-skinned? Who the fuck is thin-skinned?

DeLand_DeLakes January 12, 2011 at 12:28 pm

Um, you're making the rather far-fetched assumption that Palin gives a shit about slandering Jews.

SorosBot January 12, 2011 at 1:04 pm

Sarah loves the Jews because she supports Israel – because she believes if they get rid of all the Palestinians and rebuild a temple then they'll all be killed and the end of the world will begin.

JoshuaNorton January 12, 2011 at 10:27 am

Except for something to be even remotely “blood libel”, it would have to be, ya know, “libelous”.

But of course, words don’t have any standard meaning when you’re busy creating your own reality. Hey! maybe she actaully understood Loughner’s disjointed ramblings. She, too, has issues with that whole “seeking to control through grammar” sctick.

Death panels. Also.

weejee January 12, 2011 at 10:55 am

You're on to something there JN with Loughner & Palin being rhetorical soulmates. Do you think they may have taken the same on-line honkeybonics class?

PDX_Smart_Ass January 12, 2011 at 11:14 am

You're probably just some technical "lawyer," demanding that something be libelous in order to be called libel. Next up, you'll be trying to refudiate something else she said.

Chet Kincaid January 12, 2011 at 12:13 pm

You're so right about the Death Panels thing! That was, in fact a modern day equivalent of Blood Libel. (And the irony is that the insurance companies we already have are functionally Death Panels.)

But actually, the Blood Libel is the modern equivalent of the Blood Libel. Too many people in Arabic/Islamic countries are credulously discovering all the libels against Jews from centuries ago.

You hit a rich vein when you start talking about Blood Libel! (Go ahead, kill me now. Metaphorically. With POINTS!)

Angry_Marmot January 12, 2011 at 7:06 pm

Patti LaBelle and the Blood Libelles, I loved those guys!

fuflans January 12, 2011 at 10:27 am

how did she find 7 minutes worth of words to string together?

MarionNYNY January 12, 2011 at 10:31 am

Easy she's being handled. My guess is that Ms. Mansour is out after the "surveyor's map" debacle and she's now working directly with Glenn Reynolds and other members of Team Murdoch.

Kidneys4Sale January 12, 2011 at 10:34 am

It's possible she was reading from Faulkner. Or even Wesley Willis.

doxastic January 12, 2011 at 10:56 am

She's always empathized with Benjy Compson.

elviouslyqueer January 12, 2011 at 11:54 am

That would assume that Sarah is capable of empathy. Plus, I'd imagine that the old rat bastard Jason Compson is much more Sarah's speed, since Benjy's way too erudite.

/English major

elviouslyqueer January 12, 2011 at 11:50 am

Oh right, like old Tundra Twat has even heard of Faulkner. More likely, she's got crib notes from one of Glenn Beck's oeuvre. Or Dan Brown.

nappyduggs January 12, 2011 at 1:59 pm

Jackie Collins or GTFO.

WriteyWriterton January 12, 2011 at 3:00 pm

I'm guessing Wesley Snipes.

ChessieNefercat January 12, 2011 at 10:49 am

"how did she find 7 minutes worth of words to string together? "

She didn't.

fuflans January 12, 2011 at 11:06 am

ahhhhh. thanks for that.

like sorosbot, i couldn't get thru it.

doxastic January 12, 2011 at 10:53 am

Apparently Resistnet

Not_So_Much January 12, 2011 at 11:34 am

When you use the words 'Liberty', 'for our troops', and 'also' more than 700 times each, you don't need much actual content.

JustPixelz January 12, 2011 at 11:37 am

OMFG! That thing goes on for 7 minutes? (I didn't watch past 0:00.)

MsElla January 12, 2011 at 10:28 am

I looked up "narcissist" in the dictionary and found Palin's picture.

smokefilledroommate January 12, 2011 at 11:18 am

She can see kinda see her own face from her house–too bad her head is up her ass.

baconzgood January 12, 2011 at 11:46 am

Really? I looked up rambling idiot and saw it too. Her name was also in the thesaurus as an antonym for logic.

ChessieNefercat January 12, 2011 at 6:32 pm

Gosh! I saw her pic next to "hell's own harpy."

tiredalways January 12, 2011 at 1:35 pm

Nahhh… narcissist wouldn't have waited for four complete days to come up with this drivel. I would go with sociopath instead.

mavenmaven January 12, 2011 at 10:28 am

Note that she mourns the "innocents" and the "citizens who came to exchange ideas" which of course, can exclude Giffords and Role.

Tundra Grifter January 12, 2011 at 11:32 am

"Innocents," of course, being a dog whistle for the anti-womens' rights crowd.

Speaking of which, why are the right wing nutz opposed to gay marriage and abortion? I know several gay couples (one set is about to have a baby) and to the best of my knowledge gay couples are 100% abortion-free.

SorosBot January 12, 2011 at 11:46 am

Speaking of the anti-women's rights crowd:
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/09/us/politics/09s

"After another student read a poem about getting an abortion, Mr. Loughner compared the young woman to a “terrorist for killing the baby.” "

But he was a liberal, because he smoked pot.

mavenmaven January 12, 2011 at 11:51 am

He was a liberal because the radio fascists said he was, and that's that. Just like the Nazis were liberals.

DoktorZoom January 12, 2011 at 11:58 am

As we all know, a list of book titles on the internet is all the evidence needed to understand a person.

genxr January 12, 2011 at 12:14 pm

Now THAT's a blood libel!

DoktorZoom January 12, 2011 at 11:57 am

I saw a neo-nazi screed in the 80's that argued, in complete seriousness, that abortion must be opposed because most abortions are performed by gay Jewish doctors, assisted by lesbian Jewish nurses.

genxr January 12, 2011 at 12:14 pm

Those neo-nazis watch some seriously weird porn videos.

SorosBot January 12, 2011 at 12:33 pm

Now that actually is comparable to blood libel.

Come here a minute January 12, 2011 at 10:28 am

I have seen the liberal's liberal Al Franken draw this map from memory, without surveyor's symbols. And even Sarah knows he doesn't use children's blood in his Zionist rituals (wink, wink).

JoeMamased January 12, 2011 at 1:08 pm

"And even Sarah knows he probably doesn't use Christian children's blood in his Zionist rituals (wink, wink)."

Fixed.

DahBoner January 12, 2011 at 10:28 am

Has Palin been dipping into that Alaskan Thunderfuck?

She looks BAKED.

Personally, I think all of these Teabagger Treasonous assholes should be stuffed into a casserole and BAKED in an oven @ 350F until brown…

4tehlulz_lite January 12, 2011 at 11:06 am

You know who else was thrown in an oven….

Steverino247 January 12, 2011 at 11:16 am

And once brown, thrown on the other side of the border fence, no doubt!

crybabyboehner January 12, 2011 at 11:18 am

She probably hasn't slept since Saturday because even she realized that the crosshairs map slammed the door on even the remote chance she might ever hold office, which means her days as a marketable franchise are numbered.

Also, meth.

crybabyboehner January 12, 2011 at 11:20 am

She probably hasn't slept since Saturday because even Trig realized that the crosshairs map slammed the door on any chance she would ever hold office, which means her days as a marketable franchise are numbered.

Also, meth.

genxr January 12, 2011 at 12:16 pm

She's also wondering what she's going to do with the 5,000 campaign posters she already printed. the ones with a surveyor's symbol over Obama's face.

slowhansolo January 13, 2011 at 12:04 am

Can you imagine what it must be like in that house? I mean, when she's actually there?

BarackMyWorld January 12, 2011 at 11:27 am

+1 from me just for introducing me to the term "Alaskan Thunderfuck."

MrsBiggTime January 12, 2011 at 11:48 am

Now if I can only burn through an oz. of the aforementioned Alaskan Thunderfuck I might be able to listen to that voice without shooting up an IHOP or something.

Crank_Tango January 12, 2011 at 12:00 pm

I've got an order in. But I don't think it would help unless you rolled two blunts and shoved them in your ears, and even then prolly not.

BarackMyWorld January 12, 2011 at 4:06 pm

If I didn't like my screen name so much, I've got a good idea of what Id change it to.

MrsBiggTime January 12, 2011 at 4:22 pm

Sorry, but the handle “Alaskan Thunderfuck” is already taken, and I don't think Bristol's planning to give it up. Which will be the first thing she's refused to give up since prom.

DoktorZoom January 12, 2011 at 12:20 pm

Once again we see the hateful calls for violence coming from radical leftists! I hope that Real Americans will arm themselves so that they can protect themselves from casserole-wielding liberals. As we learned in Tucson, an armed society is a polite society.

Oblios_Cap January 12, 2011 at 2:04 pm

That throat is just begging to have something rammed down it.

SudsMcKenzie January 12, 2011 at 10:28 am

She didnt say anything about not being a witch, so I'll assume she is.

nappyduggs January 12, 2011 at 11:03 am

One mere consonant away from complete accuracy.

the_onceler January 12, 2011 at 10:28 am

I think that Palin thinks Gabby Giffords is being an uppity bitch.

jim89048 January 12, 2011 at 10:53 am

How dare she get in the way of that bullet $arah's ambitions!

hockeymom January 12, 2011 at 10:29 am

Her adoring fan base is shrinking with each appearance.
That is the only positive thing that can come of this.

In the meantime, I look forward to seeing what President Obama has to say this afternoon. I'm hopeful his words will provide some comfort and sanity.
Won't change what happened, but it will be nice to have a thoughtful grown-up speak to the country.

Tundra Grifter January 12, 2011 at 11:33 am

I agree with you. Out of this horrible tragedy will come some good – this is The Guv'Nuh's Waterloo.

MarionNYNY January 12, 2011 at 10:29 am

It's a pogrom, a virtual holocaust of hate aimed at poor, pitiful Sarah. She better hide her daughters before the Cossacks break down the door.

Maman January 12, 2011 at 11:10 am

How's that shooty, gunny thing working out for her?

MarionNYNY January 12, 2011 at 3:02 pm

Interesting on Monday when I mentioned the WSJ blood libel reference by Glen Reynolds in defense of Sarah, one person replied asking WTF "blood libel" was. Today, thanks to Sarah, we all know.

ChessieNefercat January 12, 2011 at 6:49 pm

Yes. I had never heard that exact term before (if I did, I don't remember). I was certainly aware of the horrors over the centuries up to and including the Holocaust, and felt ashamed.

I was raised in a nice vaguely flowers in your hair, birds and precious bunnies 60s-70s Catholicism, and learned that Mary was the nicest, bestest Jewish girl that ever lived, and that Jesus (her Son) was the bestest ever Jewish Guy, and that the Jewish people were especially loved by God and as such, were entitled to our respect.

I learned that it was MY sins that put Jesus on the cross, not the Jewish people, and that I had best make sure I behaved myself lest I cause Him more pain.

I can't imagine how on earth Palin could conceivably believe that "blood libel" was an appropriate term to use. How could she? How? This is so sickening in so many ways.

Monsieur_Grumpe January 12, 2011 at 10:31 am

This speech would have been much more effective if she was polishing a gun while talking although I suspect she is one of types that needs to practice chewing gum and walking.

Progressiveinga January 12, 2011 at 11:16 am

Quite right. She should watch a Skoal Rebel vid & take notes.

Wadisay January 12, 2011 at 11:23 am

Has she thought of having someone rip the heads off turkeys in the background? Oh yeah.

tiredalways January 12, 2011 at 1:48 pm

She wanted to do just that but 'HaveyoulookatToad' refused to tape it if she is anywhere near a gun

Neoyorquino January 12, 2011 at 3:15 pm

Polishing a gun would have led to a massive Tea Party masturbation session. (Eww).

HolyMaracas January 12, 2011 at 10:31 am

I absolutely love Sarah's new "minimum-wage Alabama waitress" hairstyle. Good to know she is going back to her roots. I also wonder why she choose Vimeo (the main choice of liburl "hipster" types) as opposed to YouTube.

Mumbletypeg January 12, 2011 at 10:37 am

Yes, whence the bumpit? I thought it was all about "The Bigger the Hair, The Closer to God." (Something also popular in the 'bama neck of the woods as I recall).

Barbara_i January 12, 2011 at 10:45 am

That would be the coiffing style of Lurleen, from the Glamorama. She also sells Avon and ephedrine in bulk.

FlyOverGirl January 12, 2011 at 12:21 pm

Or Luann from King of the Hill.

Chet Kincaid January 12, 2011 at 12:28 pm

Since she is in fact Peggy Hill, she didn't have to go far for inspiration.

GOPCrusher January 12, 2011 at 2:12 pm

+1 for the Lurleen reference.

xsluggo January 12, 2011 at 11:24 am

Going back to her “roots”? Heh, now I get it.

Not_So_Much January 12, 2011 at 11:38 am

OT, well done on the avatar. One of the best TDS bits ever.

MissTaken January 12, 2011 at 12:14 pm

Because every time she types in "You…" on her browser YouPorn with Nailin Palin clips show up, donchta know?

Monsieur_Grumpe January 12, 2011 at 10:34 am

Sarah is probably dismayed and flustered by the Jewish reference that people are deriving from her little fireplace chat. The world is getting complicated for Palin and she likes it simple.

Radiotherapy January 12, 2011 at 10:35 am

BULLSEYE!!1!
Bang, Right on Target.
You took that one down Sarah.
Today's malapropism: Lie Babble,

Allmighty_Manos January 12, 2011 at 10:35 am

The sign of any good leader during a major tragedy — it's all about me, me, me, me!!!

P.S. Sarah: Shut the F*** Up. A bunch of people are dead. Shut up and take the critics, I don't hear Obama whining about birthers. Thanks.

hockeymom January 12, 2011 at 10:48 am

Also a good sign of a leader?
One who goes in to hiding for four days, then comes out with a recorded statement written by somebody else.
THAT shows the qualities I look for in a leader.

YasserArraFeck January 12, 2011 at 10:35 am

The Inuit have more than 100 different words for snow. Interestingly, they have only one word for "asshole", and that's "selfobsessedoldfamewhorewhosefifteenminutesisrapidlyrunningout", pronounced "palin". For example, "my palin was spewing some stinky shit this morning….."

baconzgood January 12, 2011 at 10:36 am

It's like "I'm not a witch" only she's saying "seriously, I'm not a douche. I'm just like you…except a douche…Oh shit did I say that out loud?"

Buzz Feedback January 12, 2011 at 10:37 am

Lady Peggington of Noonanshire didn't write that.

Let the beatification of St. Sarah of the Old Pueblo begin.

ChessieNefercat January 12, 2011 at 6:54 pm

I believe Lady Peggington loathes Palin, unless "nincompoop" is a term of endearment.

Come to think of it, I would listen to Lady Peggington read the entire unabridged collection of the speeches of Ronald Reagan in her soothingly gin soaked voice if it meant that I would never ever again have to hear the screech from Wasilla.

trampndirtdown January 12, 2011 at 9:27 pm

Agreed at least you could fall asleep listening to Aunt Peg.

DDDintensified January 12, 2011 at 10:38 am

Is it really almost eight minutes long? Really? What is she trying to be here? Official-looking, with the flag and the suit, like a State-of-the-Union response from the other side? And what's up with that hearth…maybe they could have picked a slightly smaller stone than that big skull head on the right? Did Todd get tired and start using boulders?

I could never watch this…not even tempted. What I see is Sarah Palin all alone, all alone for eight minutes, in a private place broadcasting to the masses like a potentate. Is Mimeo the choice of the serious-minded, as opposed to YouTube? This all makes her seem isolated and—at eight minutes—unbelievably narcissistic.

MarionNYNY January 12, 2011 at 10:46 am

At least it tells us what she was doing during those lost days when we didn't hear from her. My guess is after Mansour messed up the amateur hour radio thing, Murdoch got on it, commissioning Glenn Reynolds to do the WSJ piece and dispatching a team to get the speech in order, American flag and all. He's like a crazy billionaire trying to get his thoroughbred ready for the Derby — obsessed with all he's put into her, even if she's actually lame and not that quick.

mavenmaven January 12, 2011 at 11:31 am

Her Jewish teabag supporters will say, "look, she acknowledged that there were blood libels" or some pathetic self immolating bs along those lines.

CookiE_MonstA January 12, 2011 at 10:41 am

Holly projection Sara. Is she implying that her critics are saying that she, a christian, has ritualized the blood of a Jewish woman? She condemns finger pointing while pointer her finger at the finger pointers. She suggests that individuals should take responisbility for their actions while denying that her actions have any role in the acidity of the pundits and journalists, which she is ever since she left the governors mansion. What a hypocrite.

EatsBabyDingos January 12, 2011 at 10:43 am

Got through all 7 minutes of that bullshit without throwing up, thanks to not eating breakfast. My God, the hypocrisy and stupidity of this bitch! After spending 3 years dog whistling to the militias, crackpots and racists, she's forced by circumstances to finally think about the fact that maybe that's not a great idea, and has to make "with our votes" explicit, while lying about what people like her intended in the first place. And then to pretend that rightwingers have supported the right to unpopular speech, and that they weren't willingly giving up rights they didn't even have after 9/11, if it would protect them from the Godless Muslims! This is one long, disgusting blood libel sausage.

elviouslyqueer January 12, 2011 at 10:56 am

I made it to 2:02, right after the mention of Reagan and, presumably, right before Sarah spontaneously orgasmed.

BerkeleyBear January 12, 2011 at 11:44 am

Gotta love the Ground Zero Mosque attacker start talking about how we didn't collectively lose our shit after 9/11. You know, like how saying anything vaguely Arabic sounding was enough to get your ass kicked, particularly if you were darker than Wonder Bread. Or how criticizing any aspect of Bush's response was treason, even when he started going after countries with nothing to do with the attacks.

SorosBot January 12, 2011 at 10:47 am

That's just a lot of weaseling out of responsibility there; and like when conservatives scream "race card! Political correctness!" whenever someone points out they said something racist, she's trying to make accurately blaming people for incitement as worse than the actual incitement. And then there's this:

"Acts of monstrous criminality stand on their own. They begin and end with the criminals who commit them, not collectively with all the citizens of a state, not with those who listen to talk radio, not with maps of swing districts used by both sides of the aisle, not with law-abiding citizens who respectfully exercise their First Amendment rights at campaign rallies, not with those who proudly voted in the last election."

Yeah, conservatives always act like that; for example, they made sure to blame 9/11 only on the nineteen hijackers and not every single one of the billion Muslims in the world. Fuck, Palin herself claimed that Obama being an acquaintance of a member of the Weathermen meant he was basically a terrorists and responsible for acts committed when he was ten years old.

Fucking hypocritical shitbag.

petehammer January 12, 2011 at 11:27 am

Came here to say the exact same thing after hearing that on NPR this morning. I remember her outrage over Assange and how he'd have blood on his hands if our soldiers were killed. But what about acts of monstrous criminality standing on their own?

Also, does this mean she's now okay with the "(not located at the) Ground Zero (and also not a) Mosque"? After all, acts of criminality "begin and end with the criminals who commit them, not collectively with all the citizens of a state."

SorosBot January 12, 2011 at 11:55 am

Monstrous act of criminality begin and end with the criminals who commit them – if the criminal is a conservative or a Christian (fundamentalist variety only).

imissopus January 12, 2011 at 1:10 pm

not with law-abiding citizens who respectfully exercise their First Amendment rights at campaign rallies,

That clause alone is evidence of how clueless she still is. No one is arguing about restricting First Amendment rights, just that you are responsible for the things you say. I don't even need to watch the other 7:40, the three seconds it probably took her to say that pretty much sums it all up.

ChessieNefercat January 12, 2011 at 6:59 pm

Shrieking at your congresscritter, and yelling down everyone with a different opinion, and bringing guns to a meeting about healthcare is "respectfully" exercising First Amendment rights?

"When does Sarah 2.0 start on her desperate new image already? "
Why, I believe she thinks she just did.

Sue4466 January 12, 2011 at 11:05 am

She displays the same narcissism/sociopathic tendenceis of Bush, who thought the worst thing of his presidency was his hurt feelings when Kanye West called him racist or that he suffered more than anyone else over Iraq. She has taken a tragedy for the shooting victims and made it about her. She is saddened she's being blamed, but where is her grief for the injured, the dead, and their families? Her main concern is that she not look bad. And she's pretty fucking defensive about it too.

Ed Shultz said last night that the reason we hadn't heard from Palin in the days after the shooting was because it was not acceptable to engage in the meanspirited & toxic rhetoric that is her only skill. Without being able to go to her regular bag of tricks, she literally had nothing to say. This video proves he was right.

And of course she would do this on the day of the memorial service.

And she is probably really pleased with herself that she somehow put it all back on the liberals!

DoktorZoom January 12, 2011 at 1:54 pm

Ya know, as a Jew, I'm usually inured to anti-Semitic comments, I've heard so many, but this gets me pretty goddammed mad. It's hard to understand how you get to be 45, with a college degree, and not know what blood libel is, or have an inkling that it's a horrible thing. How stupid -ignorant?- do you have to be not to look up a phrase that you've never heard of?

We can expect some twat outta her tomorrow telling us to embrace the new usage of a horrible, horrible, horrible term. A lot of Jews died because of that term, a lot were terrorized, for hundreds of years.

Ah, sorry. This is not something I can accept with snark. This is not some minor mistake.

YasserArraFeck January 12, 2011 at 11:43 am

There might be a few gaps in that "college degree" she cobbled together during her perambulations through…..four?…five?…colleges. Anyway, why would she need all that Jew stuff? Jews are for handling the money – it's not like they're Real 'Merkins or anything.

LetUsBray January 12, 2011 at 6:36 pm

Right, according to the blog palingates, it's highly questionable whether she really has that college degree (But remember: asking about the president's birth certificate is legitimate; ask about this, though, and just see how much blood gets shat on you).

DoktorZoom January 12, 2011 at 11:53 am

Oh, come on now, why so selfish? Don't you see that Sarah simply recognizes that the sufferings of Jews in the pogroms and the Holocaust ARE serious, very, very serious!

Almost as serious as the suffering she has experienced because some evil people have suggested that violent campaign rhetoric is not healthy.

BlueStateLibel January 12, 2011 at 11:59 am

Take comfort from the fact that she's just done herself in with this, no TLC show (cancelled before anyway), no more books, and the Repub bigwigs are all backpedalling furiously away from her…

CrankyLttlCamperette January 12, 2011 at 12:56 pm

From The Guardian:

"The blood libel refers specifically to perhaps the most notorious verse in the Bible: Matthew 27:25, which has been used by some Christians to persecute Jews for nearly 2,000 years. That it should be used by an avowedly Christian politician about a Jewish one just takes crassness and insensitivity to a new level."

We respond to inflammatory rhetoric with…inflammatory rhetoric? I'm going back to bed. Sorry, no snark today.

I heard Bill Kristol the other day say something to the effect "when has political speech not been heated"…he referenced terms that both sides might use in a campaign like "targeted" and "take aim". That was pretty annoying equivocation.

It's interesting that when Sarah tries the same rhetorical flourish, her example of heated political speech is that politicians used to duel one another WITH GUNS.

Her sense of history seems to be FOUNDING FATHERS>REAGAN>2008. Everything in between is off the map and there be dragons.

Chet Kincaid January 12, 2011 at 11:20 am

Yeah, that line about dueling was the verbal equivalent of wishing a Happy Thanksgiving while unknowingly standing in front of a guy crushing a turkey's head.

"Is there a universe where this famewhore and her minions dont exist- please send directions"

While there are infinite universes, I prefer to believe there is one where she stepped on a rake, it flipped up hitting her in the face, thereby knocking her backward where she slipped on a banana peel then tumbled on the tundra until she feel in to a deep (martian scale) crevasse…the end.

Iam_Who_Iam January 12, 2011 at 11:42 am

If I had run for political office and my campaign had put up a similar “target” map and someone cited on that map had been shot, how would I react? I imagine I’d be incredibly remorseful regardless of any innocent intent I may have had. I think any comments I made would include my deepest regret that I had ever used the map and no shortage of apologies that it may have in any way been seen as a call to violence.

But I’m just a douche liberal, so never mind.

widestanceroman January 12, 2011 at 11:58 am

After ruining the nation, all the Repubs mustered was a brushed-off "We lost our way [but never mind that. . ."]. Note how "Me" takes up half of a 4-word sentence as a response to a national near-collapse. They are incapable of fault or blame for anything ever, because they are divinely correct at all times.

tiredalways January 12, 2011 at 2:06 pm

But they again, you would have used your brain and wouldn't have used that f*ing target map in the first place, either. So, yup..never mind

donner_froh January 12, 2011 at 11:42 am

This is unbelievable. Politico has an article that actually analyzes (or has the form of an analysis) of her statement as if it was actually a political speech or anything worth commenting upon.

They run an except and then a paragraph breaking it down as if Palin was a person that anyone with more than one brain cell took seriously.

Why not transcribe and then comment on the ramblings of one of the guys living under the bridge? It would make as much sense.

Progressiveinga January 12, 2011 at 12:30 pm

As someone who works with the guys living under the bridge, believe me when I tell you they what they ramble on about is much more profound than anything ever to cross the perma-tattooed lips of Tranny Spice.

Sarah–please explain the apparent conflict between following two assertions:
Hate speech by the right cannot incite anyone to anything.
Anti-hate speech by the left incites everyone to violence.

Apparently the right is totally ineffective, so why don't you just STFU!

greypanter January 12, 2011 at 2:09 pm

But hat speech by the right resulted in massive loss of life of people who were not Palin, and anti-hate speech by the left hurt Palin's feelings, so they are equivalent.

It will be interesting to see how her minions spin this, since they have dedicated themselves since Sunday telling anyone that would listen that Congressperson Giffords was shot because of the constant stream of liberal hate speech.
And now you have Glenn Beck telling Bible Spice that she should hire protection because of the liberals hateful rhetoric will cause someone to assassinate her and bring down the Republic.

The Tucson shooting shone an unflattering light on the behavior of Sarah Palin and many others who thought it was fun to use the language of revolution to rally the angry Tea Party conservatives. Language that included cross-hairs, Second Amendment remedies, WWII analogies (including Obama/Hitler imagery).

Man up Sarah. Once the shooting started, collateral damage was inevitable.

Pragmatist2 January 12, 2011 at 11:56 am

Of course it's both sides; after all, Kos used the word "bullseye" in reference to targets in primaries which included Giffords, and a conservative blogger added an image of a bullseye; that's the exact same thing as Palin using gun sights on her district!

Angle, sugarplum, this would be the Tea Party that mistakenly targeted the brother of Rep. Tom Perriello. A Tea Party website listed Perriello's brother address as that of the Congressman and told their members to pay the Congressman a visit and "thank" him for his health care vote. Perriello's brother received threatening letters and someone cut the line to a built in gas grill; presumably to blow up the house. But hey, nothing violent in the Tea Party.

It's amazing someone has not sat down with Palin and intelligently, intellectually and seriously discussed with her how much of a regal, royal embarrassement, disappointment and outrage she really is to this country, to government, to politics and to basic, normal, rational common sense. Everything this woman says is moronic, idiotic, irrational and just plain embarrassing. Her continued attacks on the media continue to display just how wayward, psychotic, idiotic and uneducated she really is. She is wrong about the media, of course. The real issues that need to be discussed and addressed here are mental illness, the proper treatment of the mentally ill, the issue of the mentally ill and guns, gun control in general, and related public health, gun, weapons and health care issues. Those are the real issues here, and these are the real issues that need to be discussed–not the media, and not journalists. In fact, the media and journalists are non-factors here.

Palin is a poseur, she is incredibly ignorant about basic government and politics, and she should stick to popular culture, not government and politics, as her vocation.

And of course she released it before Obama speaks at the memorial in Tucson today, so now all the fucking pundits will be comparing the two speeches and wondering if he knocked it out of the park and made himself look like the bigger person and yadda yadda yadda. When of course it should be about the victims, not about which politician scored more leadership points.

God I think I'm going back to bed.

DDDintensified January 12, 2011 at 12:49 pm

Well, I guess there's no escape…MSNBC just ran the whole thing. It's clear she hasn't brought in anyone of political skill to advise her in these matters. Not because the content is inflammatory, but because the whole thing is so overlong and relentlessly banal. If you have something to say, make it worthwhile. Someone needed to edit this thing into about a third of its length. It is BORING, and she just can't keep up a tone of grief or gravitas for eight minutes. If it weren't so unfocused, we might be talking about more than just the incendiary "blood libel" comment…now it's all that stands out.

Sue4466 January 12, 2011 at 1:36 pm

This is nothing more than a campaign commercial. She’s trying awfully hard to look “presidential.” She really did set the stage as an alternative presidential address, with the flag, the fireplace, the "May God bless America" ending. And she's doing it the same day as the real President is speaking to the memorial service. I don't think any of that is an accident. She's all about image, nothing about substance.

It's like the snuff film she did of the caribou on TLC. She's willing to step on the bodies of anyone for the sake of her campaign and her ego.

I would hope that it would backfire as people realize that her bitterness doesn't match the "presidential" set she's sitting in. But my guess is her fans will continue to think she's just super. And she’s managed to get the attention on herself, the goal of all media whores.

Her lapel pin is larger than her brain.

Calm down everyone.

Palin is merely stating that persecution of her is like the Holocaust, i.e. fictional. She has not read the memo the lunatic fringe got 1-20-2009 about how the Holocaust actually happened (i.e. Obama murdered all the white folks).

Can't watch her. I'll just take your word about what she says for gospel…

Beetagger January 12, 2011 at 6:54 pm

She's anti-semantic.

At this point, when $arah's mouth is open, there is only one thing it should be doing.

And then she attacked the wrong Korea, bringing an end to the sleek and stylish, yet affordable Hyundai Sonata.

She did it fer the troops tho.

Too evil, didn't watch.

BLOOD LIBEL

Did she make you cry
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love

Is it over now
Do you know how
Pick up the pieces and go home

Ok I couldn't hear anything except Blood Libel because I was hypnotized by the flag that is frozen in a wave. Was this filmed in a Sears portrait studio?

Bless her little stupid heart. Even when she's trying to be hateful/victimized/offensive about one group, she incidentally goes and pisses off another group, instead (or in addition to).

She can't even get petty defensiveness right. Sarah, how does it feel to so thoroughly suck at life? How does it feel to suck so hard with being human?

Nail this woman to a historically accurate cross. Martyr Sarah, Queen of the Jews.

Yeesh. So much for "better late than never."

From the obvious TelePrompter reflected in her spex to the overpriced call-girl make-up to the logic fail of "crimes like this are only the criminals' fault … but teh lamestream media is programming hateful lefties to attack ME-ME-ME-ME-ME!" this is one big glorious curare-tipped footbullet. Somewhere Alvin Greene is sitting in a full lotus position, trying really hard not to laugh his ass off, because even a perma-baked loony-tune like him looks like Bertrand Russell next to this blithering dipshit.

It's really quite difficult to make everyone despise you on sight – folks have an astonishing capacity for giving the benefit of the doubt (& some are, er, well, less than perceptive) – but catastrophically misplaced butthurt like this can take her a long way down to there. She may actually wind up less popular by 2012 than Bush was by 2008. So c'mon, GOP, just do it …

PALIN/SOME OTHER SOCIOPATHIC FUCKHEAD 2012!!!

Even with a TELEprompter she still gives us the word salad. I hope she takes a few of the AEI whore diamonds she gets for each of these speeches and hires a new speech writer.

jeansaisrien1965 January 17, 2011 at 12:39 am

Poor Sarah!
She's the target of every "not-far-right" person in the US..

Bouhoo, boohoo…

Great post Jack.

It's the Alaskan way to use every part of the kitten but the "mew."

Blood libel vinaigrette?

ChessieNefercat January 12, 2011 at 6:30 pm

Oh, I just think it's pretty obvious she covered for Bristol, but I don't think it was some grand intentional scheme or anything like that.

Of all the actively repulsive, illegal, unethical, unpatriotic, cowardly, vicious, etc., etc., things she's done, it's way, way down the list.

natoslug January 12, 2011 at 10:18 pm

Homosexuality is wrong, no matter what your alma mater. (sorry, channeling Sarah there for a moment)

Failure_Artist January 13, 2011 at 5:52 pm

How is it obvious? She seemed perfectly fine with letting Bristol give birth to her own baby when more eyes were on her.
