quitter, Sarah Palin

Winners never quit. Quitters never quit quitting:

“Less than a month after she appeared poised to shake up the Republican presidential campaign, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has once again receded from the 2012 limelight…Though Palin and her staff never announced a timeline for the remaining legs of her trip, aides had drafted preliminary itineraries that would have taken her through the Midwest and Southeast at some point this month. But those travel blueprints are now in limbo, RCP has learned, as Palin and her family have reverted to the friendly confines of summertime Alaska, where the skies are currently alight for over 19 hours a day and the Bristol Bay salmon fishing season is nearing its peak.”

Self-Contradictory Sarah

Poor Sarah. She wakes up in a new world every day. Following White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel’s remarks on ABC’s This Week on Sunday that the sentiment Joe Barton expressed when he apologized to BP was…

“…not a political gaffe,” but rather a statement based on “prepared remarks.” He linked Barton’s comments to the GOP’s “larger philosophy,” saying it “is an approach to what they see. They see the aggrieved party here is BP, not the fisherman. And remember, this is not just one person.”

Palin almost immediately responded with this Tweet:

 

 (Just as an aside, for this dingbat to call anyone shallow is like Paris Hilton calling Lindsey Lohan skanky. But I digress). That was on Sunday, however, and our girl Sarah has slept since then. She woke up today and tweeted this:

 

 (Another aside if I may. For Palin to assume her followers can read is a bit of a stretch if you ask me). So  to review, she calls Rahm Emanuel a liar for saying that Republicans agree with Joe Barton and then a few days later Mrs. Palin, still a Republican I presume………agrees with Joe Barton. (The Thomas Sowell article The Quitter references is the lunacy Sowell wrote for the Jewish World Review in which he made yet another of the right’s Obama—Hitler comparisons, and which was quoted from on the floor of the House by Screwy Louie Gohmert.)

Don’t worry, Sister Sarah. We’re not laughing near you, we’re laughing at you.

No BOP for Palin’s Mouth?

Civil Rights Act, Deepwater Horizon, Fox News Sunday, gotcha politics, John McCain, Rand Paul, Sarah Palin, Tea Party

If there is an afterlife, where the deeds done during one’s time on earth are the basis for either reward or punishment, I wouldn’t want to be one John Sidney McCain. His payment for unleashing upon an unsuspecting country the natural disaster known as Sarah Palin will surely be severe, and deservedly so.

To use a comparison to another ongoing national tragedy, Sen. McCain drilled a well in a remote area without any means of shutting off the flow if the worst-case scenario occurred. As is the case in the Gulf of Mexico, the blowout preventer on Palin’s mouth is broken and her ignorance will apparently continue to gush out and pollute our airwaves for years to come.

The latest from the egomaniacal, self-serving, self-aggrandizing, money-grubbing, ‘it’s all about me,’ funeral crashing, camera hound, that is the former half-term Governor of Alaska. The Deepwater Horizon of politics:

“Kentucky Senate candidate Rand Paul is feeling what it is like to be Sarah Palin, the former Republican vice presidential candidate said Sunday, comparing the media’s preoccupation with Paul’s recent statements about the 1964 Civil Rights Act to her own treatment in the press.

Palin said that Paul is seeing firsthand how “gotcha” politics work after the libertarian-leaning Republican spent days on defense spelling out his support for the Civil Rights Act and the government’s role in regulating how private businesses can deal with their customers.

“One thing that we can learn in this lesson that I have learned and Rand Paul is learning now is don’t assume that you can engage in a hypothetical discussion about constitutional impacts with a reporter or a media personality who has an agenda, who may be prejudiced before they even get into the interview in regards to what your answer may be — and then the opportunity that they seize to get you,” Palin told “Fox News Sunday.”

First of all Sarah, I doubt you can spell hypothetical, much less have an iota of an inkling of a clue as to what it means. Stick to simple words for simple minds please. Stuff like ‘You betcha’ and ‘drill, baby, drill.’

Moreover, Rand Paul and Sarah Palin are two of a kind. Whether it’s Paul spouting his views of a make-believe libertarian utopia to his Ayn Rand inspired followers, or Palin in her Tea Party cocoon where dim-witted crowds lap up her inane babblings, both seem to take offense, and run away, when asked to explain and defend their statements. Or in Palin’s case, when confronted with a tough, ruthless, agenda-driven, prejudiced interviewer like Katie Couric, and asked those “gotcha” questions like what newspapers do you read or name a Supreme Court decision.

Sarah Palin: A Moose In The Headlights

Bush Doctrine, Charlie Gibson, Sarah Palin

This is pitiful, and it would be hilarious if this person were not running for the second most powerful position in the world. Watch as Charlie Gibson asks Sarah Palin to explain the Bush Doctrine. She doesn’t have a clue. One phrase she has learned well, “terrorists who are hell-bent on destroying our nation.

Then the topic turned to Russia, and the possibility of Georgia and the Ukraine joining NATO.

GIBSON: Would you favor putting Georgia and Ukraine in NATO?

PALIN: Ukraine, definitely, yes. Yes, and Georgia.

GIBSON: Because Putin has said he would not tolerate NATO incursion into the Caucasus.

PALIN: Well, you know, the Rose Revolution, the Orange Revolution, those actions have showed us that those democratic nations, I believe, deserve to be in NATO.

GIBSON: And under the NATO treaty, wouldn’t we then have to go to war if Russia went into Georgia?

PALIN: Perhaps so. I mean, that is the agreement when you are a NATO ally, is if another country is attacked, you’re going to be expected to be called upon and help.

I can only assume that this is part of the “more wars” that Senator McCain has promised us will happen if he is elected President.

And speaking of war, not those in the future, but the present one, Governor Palin yesterday linked the Iraq war with 9/11 while addressing a brigade of soldiers, which included her son, who are bound for Iraq, saying that they would “defend the innocent from the enemies who planned and carried out and rejoiced in the death of thousands of Americans.”

Even President Bush doesn’t try to sell this line any more.

Finally on the subject of Iraq, General Petraeus, in an interview with the BBC, was asked about the use of the word “victory” in reference to the Iraq war.

That seems to contradict an assertion that Sen. McCain has made repeatedly–that our troops will come home with “victory and honor.” Governor Palin, in her acceptance speech at the Republican Convention, chastised Barack Obama for refusing to use the word “victory” when talking about Iraq, saying this:
“This is a man who can give an entire speech about the wars America is fighting, and never use the word `victory’ except when he’s talking about his own campaign.”

I don’t know Governor, it sounds to me like General Petraeus is in agreement with Barack Obama rather than you and Sen. McCain. But then again, who am I to correct a foreign policy expert like Mrs. Palin.
