Sarah Palin Was Not A Terrible Horrible No-Good Veep Pick, Says Noted Pundit Bristol Palin

by Rebecca Schoenkopf

This is what mono looks like Bristol Palin’s blog ghostwriter has some important thoughts she would like to share, regarding whether Sarah Palin was a terrible horrible no-good very-bad choice for vice president and whether Mitt Romney should be as stupid as John McCain was. (No. Yes.) First, she totally links to TalkingPointsMemo, because that is a thing among all of them that Bristol Palin reads. Then Bristol Palin blows your mindby unaccountably claiming that Barack Obama did not invent the Recession even though he was president from 2000 to 2008. WHAT? Read it and weep, bitchez.

Then the economy melted down. You could feel people’s fear. You could see it in their eyes on the trail. McCain suspended his campaign to rush back to Washington to deal with the crisis. A lot of people criticized him, but he did what he thought was right. And guess what, the economy was melting down while Republicans were in charge.

Well that is a bizarrely true but off-message thing, Bristol Palin’s ghostwriter! Anything to add?

I honestly don’t think any Republican candidate could’ve beaten Obama in 2008. It was the Democrats’ moment.

But 2012 is a Republican moment. Whomever Governor Romney picks will be better qualified to run the country than our current President. And this time around, we’re not running against the hard-to-pin-down “hope and change,” we’re running against a President who can’t stop rising gas prices, much less rising oceans.

Please.

Mom answered the call to serve her country, energized the base, and inspired millions. Plus, she did it with good humor and grace. I don’t know what else she could’ve reasonably be expected to do.

The economy was collapsing, and the Democrats had nominated “The One.” My mom worked wonders, and it was such a joy watching her connect with Americans from coast to coast. But she could not work miracles.

It’s been four years now since Senator McCain selected my mom, and he made the right choice. Who will Governor Romney select as his running mate? Well, we’ve still got several months before we find out.

Whom could Romney choose that would really inspire the base in a super game-changing way? Someone beloved, revered, totally hip and au courant? We nominate Andrew Breitbart’s Ghost. [Bristol'sBlog]

Mitt Romney will stop the rising oceans with his totally unexpected VP pick, Al Gore.

YasserArraFeck April 30, 2012 at 2:43 pm

unless Al actually falls into the ocean – then I predict a catastrophic worldwide rise in sea level. The Global Bath Tub Will Spilleth Over, so to speak.

ph7 April 30, 2012 at 5:09 pm

Or he could pick Newt Gingrich, who, like the first of the five Chinese Brothers, could simply swallow the ocean.

Beowoof April 30, 2012 at 2:17 pm

In a country full of fat dopey bastards who are too ignorant to vote in their own interests, she is their leader. Nothing horrible about that at all.

Ann_ObeyMe_Money April 30, 2012 at 2:26 pm

Where "horrible" is defined as "excellent, really," sure.

NorthStarSpanx April 30, 2012 at 10:38 pm

Ironically, Bristol couldn't even be bothered to actually cast her vote for her mom. Too enraptured by her mom's performance on the trail I guess. . .

We need to take the distinction of the North Star away from this woman. She's co-opted our State's better known identifier. She's a brown dwarf at best, in that candidates for brown dwarfs too often fail to live up to their candidacy. They are substellar in nature. With the lithium (litmus) test, many turn out to be stellar objects and not true brown dwarfs. When still young (a billion years) brown dwarfs can have temperatures and luminosities similar to some stars. Stars will burn lithium in a little over 100 Myr, at most, while most brown dwarfs will never acquire high enough core temperatures to do so.

Sarah performed, kind of like a "star" at her introduction, but never acquired enough of the stuff to qualify her as a viable candidate, but who Bristol maintains, would make an awesome President.

Ann_ObeyMe_Money April 30, 2012 at 11:24 pm

I love this explanation. She spun off too much hot gas at the start, and is now just too dense and collapsed to achieve her full potential as a star.

Perfect.

John Birf Society April 30, 2012 at 2:18 pm

Is this a "trial" column or are Bristol and words just doing it?

actor212 April 30, 2012 at 2:32 pm

I think they're at the "hand job" stage.

jjdaddyo April 30, 2012 at 2:35 pm

Was this her entry in a middle school essay contest or something? Why would she think anybody cares about her opinion on this (or any other) subject?

Generation[redacted] April 30, 2012 at 2:44 pm

From what I hear, she made a lot of money as a political consultant.

GOPCrusher April 30, 2012 at 3:26 pm

The people that voted for her on Dancing With The Stars.

actor212 April 30, 2012 at 2:19 pm

My mom totally would have made a good Veep choice for McCain, too. Also. Plus, she wouldn't have ripped off the RNC for $15,000 in schwag and totes my dad would have been sexier than Todd Palin.

Of course, they were both OLDER than McCain, and my dad was dead already, but hey! I'm still right!

Mom answered the call to serve her country

Totes not going here…just not.

V572 Is this him? April 30, 2012 at 2:37 pm

It was actually one order of magnitude higheron the schwag meter

actor212 April 30, 2012 at 2:42 pm

Mom had modest tastes.

sewollef April 30, 2012 at 2:19 pm

Bristol Palin can probably see her arse from the front porch of her mom's house.

No, no, I didn't mean it that way! I meant that's exactly what they mean by nearly everything they say to this President, and the hatred is so blatant and glaring, it just gives me the chills. Not your fault, no blame. It is what is.

Besides, what is snark without Teh Edgy?

JustPixelz April 30, 2012 at 3:04 pm

"Believe in America" is Romney's slogan. I am overwhelmed by its specificity.

"Country First" was McCain/Palin's. It specifically says "country", thereby excluding those urban people and "first", which is like a number.

Dubya: "Yes America Can!". Not "maybe".

Warren G. Harding: "Cox and Cocktails". That is a little too specific, if you ask me.

GOPCrusher April 30, 2012 at 3:29 pm

The President's new campaign video is entitled "Forward" and doesn't reference Mitt Rmoney at all. This can only means that he wants to continue the War on Religion, assault on the Real Americans, and fundamentally change America.

PuckStopsHere April 30, 2012 at 11:31 pm

And he's coming for your guns. Don't forget the taking of the guns.

Cuz, um, you know, unless you're going to pick someone who actually has been President for five or more years, you can't get more qualified than a guy who's done it for four…

V572 Is this him? April 30, 2012 at 2:39 pm

It's shocking to learn that the Palin ladies have such a weak understanding of the Vice President's responsibilities. In fact it was Panamanian strongman Juan McCain who said, "The vice president has two duties. One is to inquire daily as to the health of the president, and the other is to attend the funerals of third world dictators. And neither of those do I find an enjoyable exercise."

memzilla April 30, 2012 at 2:21 pm

"My mom worked wonders" = "My mom grifted as hard as she could."

actor212 April 30, 2012 at 2:53 pm

Maybe she means she took a pudgy teenager who wouldn't have amounted to warm spit on a cold Alaskan night and would've ended up married to a low-minor league hockey player/sausage factory worker, grinding out babies just like mom and turned her into a national joke celebrity and oh by the way, got the hockey player a centerfold spread?

NorthStarSpanx April 30, 2012 at 10:41 pm

You got to admit, she turned confident know-nothingness into a $12 million dollar enterprise.

el_donaldo April 30, 2012 at 2:21 pm

I guess no one's told Bristol that McCain probably might have easily won that election against the black guy if he hadn't picked a veep that was so clearly a divisive incompetent airhead.

actor212 April 30, 2012 at 2:23 pm

Nah, I cut her some slack there, he still stood a chance.

McCain completely lost the campaign when he suspended to go solve the economic crisis and did nothing.

fuflans April 30, 2012 at 2:37 pm

mccain completely lost the campaign when lehman declared bankruptcy.

I don’t know what else she could’ve reasonably be expected to do.

Oh, I don't know…maybe she should have known that Africa is a continent, not a country? Perhaps be able to give the names of some of the news sources she consults when Katie Couric asks about them (how pissed must FOX have been about that omission BTW)?

But I agree with Bristol on one point: by losing, Saint Sarah did indeed serve her country…

Ann_ObeyMe_Money April 30, 2012 at 2:30 pm

Oh,hell to the yeah. We should be GRATEFUL to that miserable twit that we had her to kick around for, what, six years now? Also, too, if she hadn't dragged McCain down like the proverbial albatross about the neck, he might have (shudder) won. Imagine that senile, warmongering old fart in charge of the past four years of *extremely delicate* foreign policy negotiations.

That whole emerging from her cooter, raising the kids (questionable with Sarah) and biology.

Ann_ObeyMe_Money April 30, 2012 at 5:22 pm

Your mother is your first love, your giver of all things good, and your first source of heartbreak when you (like all boys/men) must turn away from her and focus your love and desire on a *permitted* love object. Girls are luckier that way, which is, I think, why their sexuality is more fluid — they never have to give up their mother's love, regardless of their sexual orientation or their relationship issues. Of course, then there's the whole "bad parenting" thing. One expects (until very recently) one's father to be distant, judgmental, strict, and punitive, so one is not hurt excessively by his conforming to the stereotype. One expects one's mother to be loving, nurturing, giving, and forgiving, and when she fails to live up to this, one is wounded both psychologically and socially.

You can believe 100% of the "World's Worst Mom" coffee cups, though.

CapnFatback April 30, 2012 at 2:29 pm

Two ways to tell that Bristol Palin did not write this:

1) Correct use of "Whomever"
2) No casual mention of her considerable experience gleaned from her Dancing with the Stars appearance

i_AM_ready April 30, 2012 at 5:18 pm

"Whomever Governor Romney picks will be better qualified to run…"

I was thinking Bristol did write this, because "whomever" is wrong. (Yeah it's the object of "picks," but that's trumped by being the subject of "will be better qualified.") Also Bristol has her mother's knack for faulty logic (McCain was already in trouble, so it doesn't matter that his VP pick turned out to be a scary joke, whoops.)

SorosBot April 30, 2012 at 2:29 pm

"much less rising oceans."

Yeah, damn that Obama and the other Democrats for filibustering attempts to reduce CO2 emissions in the Senate.

(And Bristol, isn't your mom one of those outspoken idiots who denies the proven reality of climate change?)

SheriffRoscoe April 30, 2012 at 2:30 pm

Sarah Palin was an awesome pick. That's why the campaign kept her as far away from reporters as possible for as long as possible, to keep them from seeing how awesome she was.

The ghost writer isn't even trying to disappear.

Generation[redacted] April 30, 2012 at 3:19 pm

Whomever could've reasonably be.
My mom said yes, I'll be VP

(does Dr Seuss ghost-write, literally?)

Mumbly_Joe April 30, 2012 at 2:32 pm

I don’t know what else she could’ve reasonably be expected to do.

Display a reasonably competant grasp of any facet of public policy whatsoever?

String words together into a coherent sentence?

CapnFatback April 30, 2012 at 2:35 pm

All of 'em, Katie.

edgydrifter April 30, 2012 at 2:44 pm

Well initially the "TITS" option seemed good, but as time went on the "GTFO" alternative looked increasingly desirable. Unfortunately, Palin refused to do either.

elviouslyqueer April 30, 2012 at 2:33 pm

Please.

Funny, that was exactly my response to reading Brisket's little bout of epistolary diarrhea. Only with more "bitch."

WhatTheHeck April 30, 2012 at 2:34 pm

When will we be rid of these tiresome bores?

ttommyunger April 30, 2012 at 2:34 pm

"… good humor…"? Bristle, honey, when the world is laughing AT you, that is not something one characterizes as having "good humor".

ElPinche April 30, 2012 at 2:34 pm

At least I can actually read it "rising oceans" and all. It taint Sarah's signature word salad.

Ann_ObeyMe_Money April 30, 2012 at 5:28 pm

In all fairness, the professional writer who keeps Bristol from sounding like a complete dunce is paid big bux for her efforts. Sarah composes her own word salads, or has that hideous pod-terran, Mansour, do it for her.

ElPinche April 30, 2012 at 6:22 pm

Ugh…i was trying to give a little credit but i forgot that Bristol's too busy having unprotected sex and pooping out future wasillan meth dealers to care.

Ann_ObeyMe_Money April 30, 2012 at 11:39 pm

Sorry to burst your bubble, hon. Reality is a harsh motherfucker.

outragedcitizen April 30, 2012 at 2:35 pm

Please, please, please let RMoney select Sarah like McCain did. Oh, please, things are so boring we need some fun!

it would be good if we had less bristol.

Jus_Wonderin April 30, 2012 at 2:56 pm

is this a tribute to e. e. cummings? which, coincidently is bristol's O sound.

actor212 April 30, 2012 at 3:07 pm

She's on a diet, if that helps

SayItWithWookies April 30, 2012 at 2:43 pm

It’s been four years now since Senator McCain selected my mom, and he made the right choice. Who will Governor Romney select as his running mate? Well, we’ve still got several months before we find out.

When you're on a sinking ship without a lifeboat and you can't swim, it's not really the "wrong choice," even if you grab hold of an anvil — because hey, why not?

In that spirit, I hope Rmoney picks Allen West — he'll do the same thing for the black vote that Palin did for women (nothing) and will elevate another toxic ignoramus to a status he's completely unqualified for.

meatlofer April 30, 2012 at 2:44 pm

Your mother made the citizens ask the question," Do we really need a Vice President?"

GOPCrusher April 30, 2012 at 3:41 pm

But who would run the Senate?

Lionel[redacted]Esq April 30, 2012 at 2:46 pm

Fox News spends the next five days destroying Bristol Palin for daring to blame Republicans in power for the economy in 5, 4, 3 …

Steverino247 April 30, 2012 at 2:47 pm

Sarah Palin did not "serve her country." She served herself. Her family and friends got the crumbs she dropped. The only positive in that is the crumbs were sometimes pretty big because she was talking with her mouth already stuffed. The Palin VP run wasn't a political campaign, it was a reality TV program.

MissTaken April 30, 2012 at 2:49 pm

Has Bristol forgotten how to tell up from down and left from right since gas prices are actually going down?

SorosBot April 30, 2012 at 3:08 pm

To have forgotten that, she would have needed to know how to do so in the first place.

And yay, you've gotten more P-ness! You deserve more for that great intelligence and humor that I love you for.

Ann_ObeyMe_Money April 30, 2012 at 5:37 pm

Some 'Bot YOU turned out to be, all gaga over MissTaken like I always knew you would be! Yay to you two! Spring is in the air and every lovebird around is loving it up. Perhaps there's hope for the MittBot yet?

Nah. Congrats, you two, on your romance. Here's hoping it all comes together, so to speak, and makes you both very happy.

Slim_Pickins April 30, 2012 at 2:50 pm

1. "good humor and grace" are not terms that readily come to mind when you think about the divine Sarah.
2. Somehow the "rising oceans" are now somehow the democrats fault?

Veritas78 April 30, 2012 at 8:40 pm

Regarding #2, yes. We were such lying libtards that we inured the Republican-Scientist Party to an actual danger.
Trolls looking up "inured."

Ann_ObeyMe_Money April 30, 2012 at 11:42 pm

Trolls looking up ^^ how to spell^^ "inured."

iburl April 30, 2012 at 2:51 pm

"Whomever Governor Romney picks will be better qualified to run the country than our current President."

Wow, Bristol really wants God to open this door for her real bad.

Chet Kincaid April 30, 2012 at 2:52 pm

Then the economy melted down. You could feel people’s fear. You could see it in their eyes on the trail. McCain suspended his campaign to rush back to Washington to deal with the crisis. A lot of people criticized him, but he did what he thought was right. And guess what, the economy was melting down while Republicans were in charge.

Is Bristol being "Home-Colleged" now? A 6th-grade paragraph like this gets an A+ from Dean Sarah!

But 2012 is a Republican moment. Whomever Governor Romney picks will be better qualified to run the country than our current President.

How about that other Alaskan treasure, Captain Keith from "Deadliest Catch?" He'd be awesome debating Biden!

Blueb4sunrise April 30, 2012 at 2:55 pm

In the spirit of compromise, let's just say that Palin was an awful choice.

Troglodeity April 30, 2012 at 2:58 pm

"Guess what, the economy was melting down while Republicans were in charge."

Blood relative libel!

"My mom worked wonders"

Is "wonder" Alaskan dialect for "sucker"?

owhatever April 30, 2012 at 3:13 pm

CORRECTION:

Editors, please change the Brisket quote:
"Mom answered the call to serve her country, energized the base, and inspired millions" to read "Mom answered the call to serve her country, energized the base, and made millions."

Are you sure she didn't write this?

Arishii April 30, 2012 at 4:18 pm

The (sic) is so you think she actually did write it.

Well, let's be fair. Most of us would stick up for our mom, no matter how wrong she might be about a particular thing, because she's our mom….OK, not if she was Sarah Palin, but then most of us don't have moms that shoot moose out of helicopters!

True, but also would be true for a chimp writing a Chemistry textbook.

AlaskaGrrl April 30, 2012 at 3:35 pm

McCain's pick of Palin was a senior republican moment. "Huh? What? Hgnnah!, whatever."

PhilippePetain April 30, 2012 at 3:38 pm

So wait, I'm to assume Palin is actually trying to get her hat in the ring for VP again? This is nuts.

GOPCrusher April 30, 2012 at 3:45 pm

Well, she's seeing her opportunity to get the nomination because a brokered convention slip away, so she's plugging for the V.P. nomination so her and the Clan get an all expenses paid trip to Tampa this summer.

PhilippePetain April 30, 2012 at 7:02 pm

I mean, once that ship has sailed, anyone with a brain would know that grovelling for the same position again after you fail will look pathetic. You would think Plain, like all of the Mean Girls of the world would understand this principle.

Not_So_Much April 30, 2012 at 3:38 pm

We know she answered Glenn Rice's call. This one, not so sure?

anniegetyerfun April 30, 2012 at 3:40 pm

well, sure. if your hindsight is at about 150/175. or so. perhaps l'il bristle is needing some fake glasses like her mom.

ChessieNefercat April 30, 2012 at 4:29 pm

"In other words, the pundits say Senator McCain made a huge mistake. But where’s the evidence to back up this conventional wisdom?"

He lost, you brainless dolt. (Seriously, no matter what the gibbering loon who birthed you says, he lost.)

ChessieNefercat April 30, 2012 at 4:36 pm

And another thing, why are they even bothering to fake-pretend that illiterate, dumb-as-a-stump, dim-bulb Bristol is capable of writing that piece of e-ink-puke?

The title of the blog should be "Nancy French Writing Down Thoughts the Palins Would Think, if the Palins Could Think. Or Read. Or Write. " Or scrounge up two neurons to rub together.

Birdwatcher1 April 30, 2012 at 5:06 pm

The question that stumped Sarah Palin…"What newspapers or magazines do you read?"

starfanglednut May 1, 2012 at 9:14 am

we’re running against a President who can’t stop rising gas prices, much less rising oceans.

The real irony of this assinine comment is that rising gas prices are one of the few things that could realistically contribute to people getting off their asses and stopping sea level rise.

Comment makes no sense. FAIL.

PlanetWingNut May 1, 2012 at 9:47 am
