Sarah Palin Can TELL When You Have Not Been Thinking About Sarah Palin

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009


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 »

Things To Check More Often: Wolf Blitzer’s Twitter

Here Is A Post About Sarah Palin And… What Now… The Newsweek Magazine

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

It’s all Palin material out there, friends, sorry. Thousands of available Caribou Barbie blog items, swirling in the RSS feeds, looking for capture. This one: is the Newsweek cover here super sexist, as Sarah Palin claims it to be? Kind of, yes! It’s odd for Newsweek to just steal the leggiest insert photo from an old issue of Runner’s World and slap it on their cover. It doesn’t really “fit.” Eh, Newsweek just wants outraged links, we suppose. Sorry.


PARTISAN LITERARY CRITICISM

Legendary Masterworks: Matthew Continetti’s Review Of ‘Going Rogue’

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

Commenters, enjoy!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 »


BOOK TOURS YOU DON'T COME BACK FROM

Sarah Palin Probably Does Not Feel Bad For Barbara Walters, But She Should

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009


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 »

Liveblogging Sarah Palin On Oprah

Monday, November 16th, 2009

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 »


PSYCHOPATH MAD LIBS

Sarah Palin Is NOT Afraid To Discuss Levi Johnston With A Pejorative Reference To His Own Alter-Ego (?)

Monday, November 16th, 2009

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 »


AMERICA'S GREATEST NOVEL

Dirty ‘Going Rogue’ Photos: The Part Where Track Gives Up Chewin’, But Not Cussin’

Sunday, November 15th, 2009

Here is the latest strange part of Going Rogue, where Sarah Palin talks to her cussin’, chewin’, questionin’ son Track, who is fightin’ in the Wars. We think Sarah is telling Track that she has decided to not-quit her job as governor, by quitting it. Then she abruptly orders Track to fast (!), but they reach a compromise. Track is a real American.

A top secret super secret Wonkette operative has sent us photos of pages 379 and 380 from Going Rogue! Here is the part where Piper Palin kidnaps every liberal reporter in America on her boat and feeds them to the ancient Ice Goblin who lives five nauts upstream. What else is on these two particular pages of bullshit… meh.


THIS CRAP AGAIN

Sarah Palin Just Felt Sorry For Katie Couric, You Guys!

Friday, November 13th, 2009

Sick of it yet, or were you sick of it before you even knew Sarah Palin existed? Well, sorry, her book is coming out next week and we will just post one comical, reportedly true excerpt after another, until the whole book has been paraphrased by the liberal media, and denounced by the actual people who were there. Next up: “She writes that she sat down with Katie Couric in part because she felt sorry for her, after Nicolle Wallace, a McCain aide, said Ms. Couric suffered from low self-esteem.” A McCain advisor calls this “ridiculous!” MORE »
