As usual, wingnuts waited in line, in the freezing cold, for several million hours at Sarah Palin’s most recent book-signing event in Noblesville, Indiana. Palin showed up, signed books for half an hour, and was quickly whisked back — along with special guest Mr. Trig! — to her monster Going Rogue bus, leaving ~300 unsigned books. Suddenly the wingnuts decided she is a “quitter” after all! Ha ha ha look at them booing a bus. [Rumproast]

That bespectacled Palin fangal, that one from the line the other day, is very taken aback at the liberal bias of facts! Recall Norah O’Donnell gently reminding this human-wearing t-shirt that, you know actually, Sarah Palin supported the bailout. “Where did you hear that?” this Jackie character demands to know, in earnest. It’s excruciating. Anyway, Jackie has some TUFF WORDS for sly Norah O’Donnell that she’s posted on her blog, “Red White and Conservative,” which actually appears to be nothing more than a poorly executed surrealist epistolary novel.

HOW COME GOD INVENTED RATIONAL THOUGHT UNLESS HE WANTED US TO SHOOT IT AND GRILL IT? “If God had not intended for us to eat animals, how come He made them out of meat?” Going Rogue, page 133. [via Slate]

How to make a Comedy Film: go to one of Sarah Palin’s book signings, walk near the front of the line (where they’ve been waiting for several hours), find the folks with the wackiest We Love Sarah-style t-shirts, preferably covered in stickers declaring even more support for Sarah Palin, introduce yourself to them, *make sure the camera is rolling,* and then ask basically any question.

ATTN: Andrew Sullivan has postponed the Internet today. MORE »

Oh good morning. Sleeping, we were? Perhaps spending time with family and friends? Those things do NOT sound like “thinking about Sarah Palin,” which means that for many of you, it has been two, even three hours since you have thought about Sarah Palin. Ha, hey look someone made a Going Rogue index and then uploaded it next to some JPGs of soldiers and cowboys! Well done. Since this same person also embedded a song terrible beyond all comprehension on the website, here are the interesting—Mick Jagger! “Issac,” the protagonist of Stephenie Meyer’s Bible series! Stapleton!—index terms, aggregated right here on your silent Wonkette. MORE »

Now that the Washington Post no longer practices journalism, it can eschew standard editorial practices, such as having its staff book critic review a new book, for wackier PR flourishes, like having one semi-famous Democrat and one semi-famous Republican each write very predictable reviews of an insanely polarizing Republican politician’s new book. Today, the Post’s “liberal” review of Going Rogue came from Ana Marie Cox, who “cannot claim to have completely read ‘Going Rogue,’” but still thought it sucked. It’s more than understandable. But the Weekly Standard’s priggish Matthew Continetti did read the book for his conservative review, which is brilliant beyond all measure. MORE »

Barbara Walters: So. You in this for the money or the Presidency?

Sarah Palin: Barbara it is impossible to say what will happen in 2012 because it’s going to happen in 2012. Ha, oh Barbara, don’t you understand? That’s the thing about the future: it’s in advance. MORE »

Anyone else feel sick to your stomach? We’re going to get this over with, and then blow up the blog. [UPDATE: It's over! The liveblog is completely incoherent, as usual. Pareene also liveblogged it at Gawker. We both quoted Andrew Sullivan at 4:39!] MORE »

Hey Mr. Levi Johnston, you better WATCH OUT because Sarah Palin as a new very hurtful nickname she will begin calling you! It is “Ricky Hollywood,” for reasons! Reports Ben Smith: “Asked by Oprah about Levi Johnston, Palin, R-Alaska, responded: ‘I don’t think a national television show is the place to discuss some of things he’d been doing and saying.’ She continued: ‘By the way, I don’t know if we call him Levi — I hear he goes by the name Ricky Hollywood now, so, if that’s the case, we don’t want to mess up this gig he’s got going…. Kind of this aspiring, aspiring porn — the things that he’s doing. It’s kind of heartbreaking.’” Smith with the etymology after the jump. MORE »
