Even Republicans Finally Tired of Sarah Palin

by Ken Layne  

Monster.Aging reality-show diva Sarah Palin is finally suffering the fate of all talentless “famous for being famous” people: Her popularity is rapidly fading, and her days as an A-lister are forever in the past. This doesn’t mean she’ll ever have to actually work for a living — there will be infomercials for adult diapers, live appearances at regional strip-mall openings and other low-rent ways to bring in enough money to keep her far more comfortable than she deserves. But even Fox News is about to drop Palin from a lucrative on-air contract, as her nails-on-chalkboard voice and jabbering nonsense have never translated into ratings for the cable channel, and her unfavorable rating with Republican voters is now at an all-time high of 37%, worse than any other Republican talking about running for president in 2012. It only took two-and-a-half years of the most venal, vulgar behavior to chop Palin down to nobody size again, but now there’s at least the hope of seeing the Wasilla Grifter pushed off the national stage forever.

TPM reports:

It’s the first time the survey has shown Palin drastically losing support within her own party.

Just 58% of self-identified Republicans said they view Palin favorably, down 12 points since last October. At the same time, the percentage of Republicans who have an unfavorable opinion of her leapt from 21% in October to 37% now.

While it’s true that there are worse people in the GOP who simply refuse to ever leave politics despite holding no office and having no chance of ever winning even a primary — we are talking about you, Newt, you amoral slug — staying “in politics” requires something that Sarah Palin hates like nothing else: hard work. Her second “book” was just excerpts from other books assembled by bored junior editors in a cubicle somewhere, nobody on Fox but Todd’s girlfriend Greta even bothers inviting Sarah to butcher basic words from her backyard webcam anymore, and an astounding 42% of Republicans don’t even like the worn-out never-was.

It’s almost as if Republican working-class people finally figured out the only person profiting from Sarah Palin’s shitty act was … Sarah Palin.

It’s always dangerous to say good-bye to someone who has no intention of leaving, but we’ll do it anyway just to join the chorus: Good-bye, you mean old idiot. Good-bye and good riddance. [Talking Points Memo/ABC News]

I'm sure she socked a lot of that sweet, sweet grifter money away for such a rainy day…

LouBristol March 16, 2011 at 12:20 pm

Run, Todd, Run!

ManchuCandidate March 16, 2011 at 12:40 pm

Hahahaha. She probably didn't. I read that dumbass blew several million dollars renovating her home. I for one would not be surprised if bankruptcy is in her future.

Barbara_i March 16, 2011 at 12:43 pm

She should have used the money childproofing her daughters.

ManchuCandidate March 16, 2011 at 12:47 pm

Naw, her daughters are her retirement fund. Shooting granbabies out for exploitation!

But she might want to rethink that though.

TrollsRUnion March 16, 2011 at 1:06 pm

Or just shooting free-range babies on her secluded property. Baby hunting: the Cutest Game of All!

horsedreamer_1 March 16, 2011 at 12:52 pm

Palin-Trump 2012.

Bringing the W(h)igs back to the White House.

Barbara_i March 16, 2011 at 1:20 pm

There was a celebrity roast of Trump on Comedy Central last night. I refuse to watch a roast of him until it's done properly on Food Network Channel.

nounverb911 March 16, 2011 at 1:48 pm

I'd rather watch him get eaten by piranhas on Animal Planet.
BTW, do piranhas puke?

OC_Iodide_Surf_Serf March 16, 2011 at 12:54 pm

Wait, she lived in the Wasilla Sports Arena??

BaldarTFlagass March 16, 2011 at 12:56 pm

In the oilfield, the redneck roughnecks used to call that "ni**er-rich;" get the big paycheck and piss it all away on cases of Bud, headache racks, mudflaps for their trucks with the chrome naked lady, and three days later they're bumming cigarettes from each other. They probably still call it that.

ManchuCandidate March 16, 2011 at 1:05 pm

I grew up in a similar place, but never heard that term used. I heard it as "White/Trailer Trash rich." After bonus time, they pissed it away fast.

To paraphrase a great Canada City dweller: "I'm rich and I'm gonna get drunk as FUCK!"

tessiee March 17, 2011 at 12:20 pm

Aw, now I'm having a flashback to Britney Spears.

GOPCrusher March 16, 2011 at 4:44 pm

Well, Tawd built that sweet ass fence.

WriteyWriterton March 16, 2011 at 10:40 pm

Her next book will have 13 Chapters. (Oh, look! A bankruptcy joke! I am a failure!)

donner_froh March 16, 2011 at 1:11 pm

Socking money away is counter to some of the most important tenets of the white trash creed.

Money is for spending–that's why god gave us Wal-mart.

WriteyWriterton March 16, 2011 at 10:45 pm

And meth.

Not_So_Much March 16, 2011 at 1:17 pm

She probably invested in a lot of snowmobiles and TelePrompTers, which they can sell used later.

She'll lose half of it in the divorce though.

"live appearances at regional strip-mall openings"

What is the test or threshold for a fully functioning brain?

Too soon?

KenLayIsAlive March 16, 2011 at 12:40 pm

Here is to Sarah Palin becoming the Terry Schiavo of American politics.

WIDTAP March 16, 2011 at 4:50 pm

"becoming"?

You are claiming there was brain activity before now?

Barbara_i March 16, 2011 at 12:45 pm

Bendy straws will no longer be a contract rider. They will be the payment for her appearances.

cheaphits March 16, 2011 at 1:39 pm

She can wear fake glasses, but you can't fake competence.

Well, then again, maybe you can in politics most Republicans do…she just didn't do it well enough.

tessiee March 17, 2011 at 12:22 pm

Luckily for us, she didn't descend from generations of wealth and power, like a certain crime family/dynasty who shall remain nameless, so she may actually go away eventually.

GOPCrusher March 16, 2011 at 4:46 pm

I'll bet Playboy would pay for her to do a pictorial.

Too late?

Barbara_i March 16, 2011 at 12:17 pm

Nah, she'll bounce back as soon as she comes up with something clever to thrill her fan base. She'll tweet and say that "we should fight high gas prices by making all roads downhill."
"downhill baby, downhill!"

PalinPussyPower March 16, 2011 at 1:14 pm

Unfortunately for humanity that "something clever" might be another pregnancy. Maybe Twig or Trapper Keeper will get knocked up this time and Sarah will pass it off as her own.

Barbara_i March 16, 2011 at 1:17 pm

She'd have to come up with a pretty big impediment for the baby to be impressive. Conjoined triplets?

zhubajie March 17, 2011 at 4:50 am

Don't kid yourself. It's going to take a wooden stake and holy water to put her down for good.

No. I think Bible Spice will have to take personal responsibility for her downfall.

Negropolis March 16, 2011 at 9:49 pm

She'll take personal responsibility when pigs fly. Knowing that, I've got my pig cannon handy if (read: when) it takes her too long.

Radio Iodide March 16, 2011 at 12:26 pm

I've been thinking that since August '08. But, by definition, they will NEVER admit they were wrong. See, um, WMD's for instance.

grendelg March 16, 2011 at 12:44 pm

Umm… I think Ken Layne had something to do with it. I heard Bill Kristol first got a chubby for her when he saw her on Wonkette.

That needs to be the stock Wonkette photo for her, similar to front-butt classic.

LouBristol March 16, 2011 at 12:36 pm

That reminds me, why has The Museum of Wonkette Pictures not been created yet? What the hell are all those interns doing anyway?

horsedreamer_1 March 16, 2011 at 12:55 pm

It's not a Museum, yet; it's a touring installation. I believe it will be coming next to the National Gallery of Clipart.

(Don't know which commenter, here, made that last part up, but it's gold.)

Chet Kincaid March 17, 2011 at 9:46 am

The National Gallery of Clipart is merely a front for the Church Of The SubGenius. Beware of Creeping Slack!!

It's like we are all Leonardo DiCaprio, and she's been playing Marion Cotillard, trying to convince us that we are not living in a real world and need to jump off the ledge with her.

She'd never have gotten this far if she weren't relatively attractive on the politician-adjusted scale of attractiveness. (Jeb Bush = 9, Barbara Mikulski = 0).

This is just a hunch, but I think the Todd and the hooker story set her back a bit and if that hissy fit has receded a bit she will make one more big push to build her customer base then quit and endorse someone else.

If she doesn't do it soon, Michele will grab all the goodies.

My co-worker says they should be called On-We, or On-Oui, or best yet, On-weejee.

She was also Duh'vner for two & an half years (give or take).

Must like that number. Has a nice ring to it. I can imagine, in twenty years, when she's running for president — she'll still only be 66, at that point — Sean Hannity will bellow, "Two & an half years! She toiled for two & an half years to build her brand!"

The commercial for the product could be based on the Charlie Rose interview:

(A wink at the camera. Fuck it. Make it eight winks)

Super Bowl material, eh?

Bachmann's still there, though. And Cravaack is, too.

I'm stunned that Bachmann hasn't awakened to a caribou head in her bed yet.

The_Great_Gazoo March 16, 2011 at 12:36 pm

But 58% of them still like her. I will not be comfortable until 58% of them either believe that she is, or may be, the antichrist.

Ruhe March 16, 2011 at 12:45 pm

What difference does it make? Even if she gets down to 0% approval that won't mean that the morons doing the disapproving have suddenly gained a brain. It just means that they've moved on to fetishizing some new shiny gorgon.

Gopherit March 16, 2011 at 1:06 pm

Keep in mind that over half also think Obama was probably born in Kenya. In short, republicans are stupid motherfuckers.

Ducksworthy March 16, 2011 at 1:59 pm

Lets see. I think there's an important fact here. If 58% of Republicans like Palin and 27% of voters identify themselves as Republicans that gives us 15.6% percent of voters who are either in need of immediate institutionalization in a mental facility or are at least way off their meds.

WriteyWriterton March 16, 2011 at 11:03 pm

It's the 27% thing. she will never fall below that number. Bush hasn't. Nixon didn't. I think Nate Silver's written about it. Or he should, nasally.

RedneckMuslin March 16, 2011 at 12:36 pm

Just 58% of self-identified Republicans said they view Palin favorably. Just? Seems batshit crazy high to me.

tessiee March 17, 2011 at 5:58 pm

I'm thinking that if you put a wig and a pair of falsies in an empty room, 58% of this group would rate it favorably.

She's got to depressed about the news that only 58% love her, considering she considers herself the Reincarnation of The Blessed Saint Ronnie.

EatsBabyDingos March 16, 2011 at 12:40 pm

She'll be working a glory hole in Kotzebue soon. Kotzebue, a remote town in Alasaka, was identified in the offical Alaska Airlines city guide as a town that hates everyone that isn't a native Inuit. She will fit right in,as the other 299,998,264 of us are sick of her too, also.

SmutBoffin March 16, 2011 at 12:40 pm

I'll believe it when I see the snow-machine funeral procession, the erection of the pyre made of old tires and copies of her books, the ignition with a hunk of burning meth, and her eternally-loyal spokespeople throwing themselves on the blaze so they can serve her in the afterlife.

Even then, I'd demand that the ashes be thrown into the Japanese radiation death-pit.

You have to think that that contract offer from Playboy is looking pretty good right now. Palin's loyal army of fapping grandads will finally get their hearts desire and all they had to do was reject her. Irony!

Steverino247 March 16, 2011 at 1:58 pm

Not Playboy. I'm thinking one of those cheap 'zines that Larry Flynt uses for women that don't cut the mustard for Hustler. After all the shit she's put us through, we need to see some pink. (Or whatever you call that color they daub on the genitals in Flyntland…)

BklynIlluminati March 16, 2011 at 12:45 pm

She really doesn't even need them anymore, she has a whole fringe group that she can milk for a very long time. She gamed them all and when things get slow all she has to do is lob bombs to either side because all the tards that love her will do so and pay no matter what.

Jim89048 March 16, 2011 at 1:27 pm

She just blamed Obama for the high price of gas, on facebook. I imagine she'll get many "likes" out of that one.

Heh, look at the article on her rift with Fox; apparently Ailes is pissed because she didn't listen after he warned her to just keep her mouth shut after the Giffords shooting instead of making about her, but then of course she had to make things worse with the blood libel.

horsedreamer_1 March 16, 2011 at 1:07 pm

Ailes wants to fire her in person, but since he cannot walk, it's going to be a long trip.

neiltheblaze March 16, 2011 at 12:52 pm

I think her loss in popularity comes from what a thin-skinned, professional victim she is. People – even most Republicans – prefer leaders who exude confidence and determination – not pea brained, whiny-assed quitters.

tessiee March 17, 2011 at 1:02 pm

Interesting point. For all the glory she gave herself as a "mama grizzly", "pit bull", etc., she pretty much responded to everything — not even everything *directed at her*, just everything, period — with a whole lot of "they're all picking on me!" whining.

Come here a minute March 16, 2011 at 12:56 pm

Negropolis March 16, 2011 at 1:08 pm

Totally off topic, but I was just in downtown Lansing, totally having forgot there was to be a protest, today. This is quite easily the largest protest I've probably ever seen, down there, probably bigger than the anti-skinhead protest a few years back. There are literally thousands of folks on the capitol square against Snyder from all walks of life. Traffic is swamped along the main avenue.

Negropolis March 16, 2011 at 1:19 pm

Alas, not a hoveround to be found. Mostly construction workers, and students, and teachers and such. So, of course the media will say it was a few dozen hippies.

donner_froh March 16, 2011 at 1:22 pm

I wish I could have made it. The Michigan Democratic Party actually did some organizing for the demo–amazing what happens when people are angry and an organization they trust (or at least don't distrust) helps them get together.

Negropolis March 16, 2011 at 1:33 pm

Supposedly, the people that tried to occupy the capitol, last night, are back. When asked today if he'd allow them to stay, Snyder is basically saying that the MSP will take care of it. This may get a bit ugly…

horsedreamer_1 March 16, 2011 at 2:45 pm

There is already a line forming to take her place. William Kristol is interviewing (sniffing the butts) of applicants.

Rotundo_ March 16, 2011 at 7:05 pm

Kristol does have that magic touch doesn't he? It is going to be really hard to top the Palin promotion. He should go on Faux Business and become a stock guru, with his track record, it might actually have some value for shorting etc.

Is Willow pregnant yet? That should be good for some tabloid coin, unless Bristol's worn out that particular demographic. Trig's too young for her to hope he knocks up some girl in time to maintain her Kardashian style fame. (I don't actually know who or what a Kardashian is, but they seem to appear on covers of trashy mags at the checkout counter at the grocery.

Poor Trig. I'm sure she'll find another way to exploit him.

SorosBot March 16, 2011 at 2:16 pm

They can have the older son (is that one Track, or is that Bristol's bastard?) knock up a Kardashian; that would really get the tabloid coverage.

crybabyboehner March 16, 2011 at 1:57 pm

And to think she used to be your GILF-friend.

bflrtsplk March 16, 2011 at 1:58 pm

Don't worry. With Snowbilly, Xtine and Beck on the fade, there are still plenty of dead fish to shoot in that barrel. Next up, the one woman Minnesota adoption agency.

Beowoof March 16, 2011 at 2:08 pm

I was weary of her when she said she was hockey mom. Having been a hockey player in high school, I can tell you my mom was a card carrying, voting liberal democrat until the day she died. And she made me a card carrying voting liberal democrat and my kids appear to be following that path.
Sarah, your kids seem to have taken on your grifrter what can I do for cash I don't have to work for attitude and dipshit persona.

Moleman_v3 March 16, 2011 at 2:08 pm

Looking at that pic, I realized she does kinda look like Ben Kingsley with a wig.

Negropolis March 16, 2011 at 2:13 pm

Yes, Sir Ben Kingsley would be a fool not to take this Oscar opportunity. If he can play Gandhi, he can play Sarah Lou.

Have no fear — Bachmann is the new pinup girl for GOP batshit crazy. Wonkette won't have any shortage of material.

My god, look at that picture of Sarah, then look at this one of Calibos from the original 'Clash of the Titans' …then look at that picture of Sarah….and look at this one of Calibos from the original 'Clash of the Titans' …then…

ChessieNefercat March 16, 2011 at 6:09 pm

Jesus God, I opened the Titans picture separately so I could see them side by side and, it's like the lizard lady on V is getting ready to rip off her human skin!

Ken, Ken, you have a breaking news story here! The reeeal Sarah Palin underneath the Edgar suit!

(And, finally, an explanation for her pterodactyl-like screeching voice.)

mercianomad March 17, 2011 at 6:40 am

If only I had photoshop skills. I would put bangs and ridiculous square glasses on the movie mythical creature and line the pictures up next to each other into one comparative pic. Maybe David Icke is on to something with his lizard creatures from Draco bit taking over our planet.

sportshort March 16, 2011 at 2:36 pm

Don't worry, the Grift will rise again! This penile implant will continue to dog us for years. Never count out the nuts. They are like zombies.

SorosBot March 16, 2011 at 2:37 pm

No

Fox n Fiends March 16, 2011 at 2:46 pm

Not so fast. There's no "I" in Palin.

randcoolcatdaddy March 16, 2011 at 2:56 pm

Don't count her out of the game just yet – even that scumbag Richard Hatch has managed to get on yet another reality tv show, "Celebrity Apprentice".

Z-list celebrities never really go away.

proudgrampa March 16, 2011 at 2:56 pm

With 58% approval, tales of her demise may be like Mark Twain's: a tad premature. Just sayin'.

BTWBFDIMHO March 16, 2011 at 2:57 pm

Don'tcha luv your free fallings?

Negropolis March 16, 2011 at 3:00 pm

Hey Sarah, how's that bitchy, grifty thing workin' for ya'?

Sarah, It Gets Better…except for you, thank space jeebus.

Sassomatic March 16, 2011 at 3:13 pm

. . . that is until the radiation plume reaches Alaska and she rampages across Japan

MiniMencken March 16, 2011 at 3:17 pm

Perhaps we can help Sister Sarah by enrolling her in that Twelve Step program called "Onandonanon."

MarionNYNY March 16, 2011 at 3:18 pm

Let's give credit where it's due: Thank you Dana Milbank!

教授 Zoom March 16, 2011 at 3:50 pm

You're thinking of O'Donnell. Sarah will need at least an exorcism, a turkey-head-chopper-offer, and maybe a band saw.

Lost_Teabaggers March 16, 2011 at 4:12 pm

This is keeping with my 25% doctrine…which is that 25% of Republicans aren't crazy. Let's cross check the numbers, the 38% who finds Palin repellant is probably the core of the 42% of Republicans who think Obama was born in the Ole' US of A. Then you have the 28% who viewed Bush unfavorably as he was leaving office. I'm thinking between those three groups exists a heavy amount of overlap…not to mention Obama got about 10-15% support from Republicans in 2008. So, what I'm guessing is while 60% are indeed crazy (Palin has 58% support, coincidence?) 25% are not…and 15% aren't sure if they're lunatics or if they aren't. So, I'll be willing to clap for that small group of conservatives (and probably Paultards…Ron Paultards, mind you) who don't go in for the authortiarian insanity of the modern right and it is possibly within them that we may find an end to the Snowbilly, Beckerhead and the Bachmann, Turner Psychopath. What do you guys think? Am I too optimistic?

AlaskaGrrl March 16, 2011 at 4:48 pm

Two and a half years…. too bad she won't quit like she did the governorship.

Beetagger March 16, 2011 at 5:04 pm

She'll move to Phoenix so she can make meth with Bristol and bang Joe Arpaio on the sly.

lulzmonger March 16, 2011 at 5:13 pm

Republicans tired of her = me sincerely hoping she keeps her fangs sunk into them for many years to come.

She easily gave Obama at least 2-4% of his mandate in 2008 – maybe she can do it again in 2012! Too greedy & narcissistic to care that she's a human footbullet for her own party? YOU BETCHA!

RUN SARAH RUN!

June_Cleaver2.0 March 16, 2011 at 5:15 pm

That face so expresses what is in her heart.

June_Cleaver2.0 March 16, 2011 at 5:26 pm

Ha ha, how many guys on this site would hit that now?

Negropolis March 17, 2011 at 12:41 am

Not even on the rebound, my dear; not even on the rebound.

genxr March 16, 2011 at 5:28 pm

Yes

(even if I have to wait another 20 years for that Hustler spread)

GortRay March 16, 2011 at 5:28 pm

That screeching sow is a complete waste of carbon and isn't worth the space she takes up, but I don't think she will ever go away. There is nothing she won't do for fame and cash (well… she won't read a book of course)
I loathe her like a cancerous colon, but her legion of drooling Neandertahls will love her 4evah.

ChessieNefercat March 16, 2011 at 5:55 pm

Noooooooo!!! Eeeeeew!!!

That is the first time I have laughed today.

Man if a UPer doesn't wanna see you naked…

ChessieNefercat March 17, 2011 at 8:07 am

Well, our standards up here in the snowy north woods may evolve (devolve?) over the course of our long dark winters, but by golly, we still have some! Alaska can keep their nasty skanky tramp.

doloras March 16, 2011 at 6:48 pm

Me too.

LetUsBray March 16, 2011 at 9:31 pm

Is that pic of her listening to a recording of her voice?

ttommyunger March 16, 2011 at 10:21 pm

Not so sure about that leaving stuff. Barry's love of bipartisanship has me a little worried. Vacancy coming up for Ambassador to China; well known Utah Rightard already put in that slot a couple of years ago. Hils is leaving State, she says. Both high level positions requiring the utmost in tact and diplomacy. She HAS spent a lot of time checking Russia out from her porch, admit it. She READS everything, by her own account, so is obviously quite knowledgeable. Either appointment would knock her out of the running until she quit and ran anyway. How badly do you want to please the Right, Barry? That bad? I'm not sure I'd be that surprised.

WriteyWriterton March 16, 2011 at 10:50 pm

Hey, it has its uses. It's one way to put the "bop" in horizontal bop.

WriteyWriterton March 16, 2011 at 10:51 pm

I like it when PL is ironically indirect like this.

chascates March 16, 2011 at 11:29 pm

Lamestream Blue Blood Republicans can't dictate the votes of honest, God-fearing Americans who have shit for brains!

GeneralLerong March 17, 2011 at 12:00 am

Holee cowee – the LA Times exposes Palin's mouthpiece, and it's The Penguin!

tessiee March 17, 2011 at 1:21 pm

Are you referring to the Batman villain, or an actual penguin?

chascates March 17, 2011 at 12:49 am

I'll be all around in the dark – I'll be everywhere. Wherever you can look – wherever there's a fight, so grifters can make money, I'll be there. Wherever there's a rightwinger beatin' up a union guy, I'll be there. I'll be in the way guys yell when their wife thinks she's a genius. I'll be in the way kids groan when they're hungry and they know it's gonna be moose chili again, and when the people are eatin' the stuff they got someone else to pay for and livin' in the houses they stole – I'll be there, too.

Lascauxcaveman March 17, 2011 at 1:08 am

Using your criteria, I'd be Punkin Hoare.

jus_wonderin March 17, 2011 at 7:41 am

Thumbs up!!!

MadBrahms March 17, 2011 at 2:03 am

But where will she run?

*Which seat will she take?*

NadePaulKuciGravMcKi March 17, 2011 at 3:47 am

used abused dumped by the neocons
dreams unwind love's a state of mind

zhubajie March 17, 2011 at 6:14 am

I don't think I'd pay money for a porn CD with her in it. Maybe a hentai involving Reptilians, Octopoids, Hitler and Satan….

tessiee March 17, 2011 at 5:55 pm

Silly Sarah having a threesome with Newt and Rush?

RowdyRacer March 17, 2011 at 8:54 pm

What's the over/under on how long 'til she "accidentally" releases a sex tape???

SaucyJAK March 25, 2011 at 2:31 am

Now listen to a story 'bout a girl named Sare,
Flyin in her Piper Cub shootin' wolves and bears
Then one day while watchin Russia from her deck
Up from the ground come a bubblin' Beck
Glenn that is. Cry baby, Faux news star.
Well the next thing you know ol' Sares a millionaire
Kinsfolk told er' Sare move away from there!
Sed Pennsylvania Avenue’s the place you aughtta be
So she put her "Bump it" in a bag and moved to big D.C.
Beltway that is…Bought and paid for. Blind leadin' the blind
Lame Stream media, Ya'all drop dead now, ya hear? The Big Lake Hillbillies!

Barbara_i March 16, 2011 at 1:19 pm

She could make extra income by selling pictures of bears, laying on baby skin rugs.

Negropolis March 16, 2011 at 2:57 pm

They just reported on MSNBC that this rally is actually multiple rallies where they hold one about every hour on the capitol steps, and then that group enters the capitol. I guess that keeps its more orderly than bumrushing the rotunda. Whoever organized this should be commended.

WriteyWriterton March 16, 2011 at 10:44 pm

Seriously, can I joke-marry you?
