Na Na Na Na, Hey Hey Hey, Good bye! Sarah Palin Says Farewell To Alaska's Governorship
I think there should be an amendment to the old adage "There are only two things that are certain: death and taxes" to read "The only certainties in life are death, taxes and Sarah Palin will make a convoluted word salad in lieu of a lucid speech."
I admit, I can't get more than three or four minutes in to one of her speeches before my eyes glaze over because she uses so many words and takes so much time to say absolutely nothing at all. Poor CSpanJunkie did the hard work and recorded her "Goodbye, Cruel World" speech:
Part 2 is here.
Apparently, Alan Colmes has a better ability to sit through such bizarre ramblings than I do (no doubt the practice he got from years sitting next to Sean Hannity):
In her bizarre farewell speech as governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin fed red meat to the right-wing, invoking patriotism and the military in her first sentence. It was unclear to whom she was referring when she talked about those who are “tearing down our nation”, “American apologetics” and unmentioned forces “suggesting that our best days were yesterdays.” How can that be, she pleaded, when there are volunteers willing to fight for our freedoms.
Next it was on to criticizing the press, lecturing them that soldiers “are willing to die for you,” so “quit making things up!” And the new governor, Sean Parnell, has a nice family too, “so leave his kids alone!”
After what sounded like a campaign speech for re-election, it was time to defend gun rights, and warn that “You’re going to see anti-hunting, anti-Second Amendment circuses from Hollywood.” This will be done by using “delicate, tiny, very talented celebrity starlets” who will “use Alaska as a fund raising tool for their anti-Second Amendment causes.” Luckily, “patriots will protect our individual guaranteed right to bear arms.” And “Hollywood needs to know we eat, therefore we hunt.”
Can you blame me for not be able to get through the speech? My buddy Jon Perr has come up with his own personal list of Palin's greatest hits, and that--in combination with her incredible popularity amongst the GOP-- makes me doubt Darwin.
Frankly, I wish that I could say this is the last we'll hear from Sarah Palin, but given how inexplicably popular Palin remains, I don't think we'll be so lucky.
Don't let the door hit you in the arse!
Goodbye Sarah, we feel great also!
Palin really ought to dump Todd and marry that straw man she loves so much.
My great great great great uncle can breathe easy now.
Quite a feat considering there's six feet of dirt on top of him.

Darwin did not claim that evolution was progress but that those who fit the environment best survive.. Sarah fits today's political environment well enough to survive better than many politicians

Is she a graduate of the George W. Bush School of Oratory ?
3 minutes into this and I'm running around in circles. There's a video at Huffington post: Is This The Stupidest Person Ever? (VIDEO)
It is very VERY similar.

..she quit four schools on her way to getting a degree.
..she quit being the mayor of Wasilla.
..she quit being the governor of Alaska.
and thin-skinned? She quit because of allegations into ethics violations. If there was nothing to that, why did she quit? Thin-shinned perhaps?
Mickey: "It was an epiphany. Do you know what an epipany is?"
Keoni: "NOT NOW MICKEY!"
I think he was saying Hillary isn't a quitter or thin-skinned.
was not a quitter or thin skinned. That's the way I am reading the post.
"Let's talk dirty to the animals"
..I thought the "..her.." was "That bitch.." from the previous sentence. Why wouldn't I think that?
Mickey: "It was an epiphany. Do you know what an epipany is?"
Keoni: "NOT NOW MICKEY!"
That's exactly what I meant. I wouldn't defend Palin in any shape or form. Can't stand the woman.
Who are these people that would want this woman in a position of power? It was painful to watch this video and see this unprepared lightweight not answer any of these questions. Personally, I would like to have her around for 2012 to really mess up the "R's" but god, it scares me to death to think that somehow she could win. After all, I live in Florida.
Who want creationism taught in public school, that want abortion outlawed, that want to be able to carry loaded guns everywhere they go, that want blacks and whites to be segregated again, that want to shoot every illegal alien that crosses the border from Mexico...feel free to add to this list if I've left anything out.
... that we should torture suspected terrorists and be able to spy on Americans without warrants.
... that believe we should pray for pipelines and believe God is going to fix the planet.
that the earth is only 6000 years old
that jebus rode around on dinosaurs...
that women shouldn't get paid as much as men for the same work.
..the Flintstones' is a documentary.
Mickey: "It was an epiphany. Do you know what an epipany is?"
Keoni: "NOT NOW MICKEY!"
they also believe that Obama's BC is fake, and that he's really a citizen of Kenya...
also...they're one in the same with the teabaggers.
the belief system of the Palinites perfectly except that, well nobody really believes the Flinstones was a documentary unless they only saw the film and not the TV version first.

He contributed too!
GAH!
The Flinstone films are unwatchable...like the scooby-doo films...absolute dreck.
can you see the ocean from there?
And I can see Castro flippin off this great nation from my house!

i think there should be a pool for how long it takes palin to have her own show on fox....i say it is announced before the end of august, if it takes even that long. her rants will fit perfectly with beck and o'realy.
and hasn't she played the "victim" card long enough?
... NOT playing the victim card means understanding and taking responsibility for her own actions.
It's ALWAYS going to be someone else's fault. She probably went from college to college because 'everyone else' hated her.
The two would fit in together, though there might be a clash of egos.

"--in combination with her incredible popularity amongst the GOP-- makes me doubt Darwin."
This is evolution in action. When a species (in this case the GOP) can no longer adapt to its environment, its population shrinks and it eventually becomes extinct. BTW, I think Sarah Palin's nickname should be SAPPY!
The fun will be watching other Repugs caught between being nice to her and pushing her out of the way! Do they have the guts to attack the cheerleader captain who wants to be class president? (not to disparage real cheerleaders)

so maybe nominating Palin would fit that trend. I just hope that the GOP manages to go extinct without taking us all with them!

But yes, Parnell is a pretty bad piece of business; at least he was when I was living up there.
Honestly, the talking heads have to be able to string their thoughts (such as they are) together. Palin can't do that.
And “Hollywood needs to know we eat, therefore we hunt.”
They eat the wolves they shoot from helicopters? Really?

..our soldiers are willing to die but that doesn't mean ordering them into Meat Grinders so that wealthy Americans can get wealthier! It requires that Politicians have a RESPONSIBILITy to protect our nation and only use force when force is necessary. You can be admired for having a son who is in the military. You will be remembered as the politician who QUITS and I can't imagine anything better than having you outside of the political arena where your rants will do little other than to prove to America just how unfit for office you are! Please, whatever happens, don't let the door hit you on the ass as you leave! Maybe give a card to the State Attorney General so he knows where to reach you for the next round of ethics hearings.
Mickey: "It was an epiphany. Do you know what an epipany is?"
Keoni: "NOT NOW MICKEY!"
We may be able to criticize everything else in her speech, but golly how can we not cheer every time she mentions them?
And who wrote this speech? It's awful. Who would pay to see performances like this one?
That is always the ultimate shield for the accused, hide behind the soldiers who are fighting for all the wrong reasons and dying for all the wrong reasons and show your feigned support by:
1) Using them as your prop
2) Saying repeatedly you "support them" while sending them into harms way without a second thought
3) Try and twist that those who accuse you of various violations are somehow disrespectful to our troops.
That bitch is neocon lite, that was the George W. Bush way of doing things. Listen to Naomi Wolf from when Sarah was on the campaign: The similarities between her and Dubya are eerie
AlterNet
Radix Omnium Malorum Avaritia
would like the option to take Palin's way out:
Soldier: Sorry Colonel, but I can't continue to be a lame duck. It wouldn't be good for America.
Colonel: That would be quitting, soldier.
Soldier: No, sir, you're wrong. Plodding along and keeping my head down would be the worthless and easy path. That's a quitters way out. I will support others who seek to serve. But I won't do it from a soldier's uniform. I do not want to disappoint anyone with my decision; all I can ask is that you TRUST me with this decision.
Colonel: Nice try, soldier, but "Section 8's" only work on MASH. Now get your butt back to your unit before I call the MPs!
Palin will use anything as a human-shield to hide behind while she attacks. Anyone she opposes is found to be:
o attacking her children
o not supporting the troops
o elitists attacking the common folk
They say that patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel, but it seems to be Palin's first choice. I don't remember her wrapping herself in the flag (outside of photoshopped fantasies) but it would be right in keeping with her Sarah-centric approach.
From NeoCon to Me-o-CON; conning the American idiots into sending her $. I'm still astonished that this crap happens in this country, just like I couldn't believe Falwell et al could bottom feed so efficiently.
She's an idiot.
I can't stand listening to her.
Yeah those interns at Media Matters should be getting free counseling.
"Someday somebody related to some of these sufferers, these victims, these collaterally damaged souls, may try to kill you. And I have to tell you, I think you’ll have it coming." - Christopher Cooper
Palin Talking Stupidly Disorder?
she has an undiagnosed neurological disorder. She is completely incapable of forming coherent sentences when she tries to be extemporaneous. Most schoolchildren can do this.
Now what the rest of America gets to see along with us is in this last frontier there is hope and opportunity and there is country pride and it is our men and women in uniform securing it and we are facing tough challenges in America with some seeming to just be hell bent maybe on tearing down our nation perpetuating some pessimism and suggesting American apologetics suggesting perhaps that our best days were yesterdays but as other people have asked how can that pessimism be when proof of our greatness and our pride today is that we produce the great proud volunteers who sacrifice everything for country.

If you spend all of you treasure and manpower on defense over the long term, you necessarily neglect the society that is needed to support it. Maybe that's why the war-mongers also seem to be deadset against population control: we're going to need lots of canon fodder when our technology and means are no longer first-world.
"Sarah Barracuda" is not used to having people stand up to or against her. She quit because she couldn't wrap her brain around the fact that not everyone in the world is afraid of her or afraid to oppose her. She couldn't take the heat.
Please, God, let this woman fade away from the national consciousness so that the morons don't put her in national office in 2012.

Sarah is saying that it is irresponsible for a governor to NOT QUIT at least ONE year before the end of the term they were elected to fulfil. Gee, look at all these irresponsible politicians in the USA not quitting. Just being lame ducks. How about George Bush, Sarah ?? Shouldn't he have done the responsible thing like you and quit was he reached "Lame Duck" status. Wow, I just realized the world is filled with irresponsible people who fulfil their obligations. No wonder the world is such a mess. We'd probably have world peace if everyone just did whatever they felt like it whenever they felt like it. Palin in 2012 !!!!! Actions don't matter !! Only words and swagger and winking and pointing and smiling matter!! Palin for President of the One Wolrd Govermant !!!!

That has got to be the worst reasoning that she gave for quitting. She was in her first term. Why didn't she run for re-election? Certainly, with all the great things she cited that she's done for AK she would have won re-election. My understanding was that "lame duck" was a term used for the last year of a second term. What gives?
Niwrad, she's an idiot and this is what passes for reasoning at least in her mind. You know what's even more pathetic is that no one in the mainstream media will asked the question you just posed.

George Carlin
... refers to the current office-holder AFTER the election has been held to determine their successor. Thus, an American president becomes a 'lame duck' from early November through January (unless they've won a second term).
I'm not sure if the term is related to the old saw of 'looks like a duck, walks like a duck, it must be a duck' - but since it's lame, it's not really a duck ... or if it's just because a lame duck doesn't really do much but waddle around and never gets anywhere.
