My sisters called to tell me of something they heard on tv this morning:

Palin's last act in saying farewll was to look out her window and wave goodbye to Russia.

I'm sure they will miss her.:-)

                Well, thanks, Peace. I guess you're right about the con artists making it with NO money. But they continued to say amongst themselves it wasn't possible. Maybe that was the genius of the movie. In any event it was my all time favorite movie. I'll forever and always think it was a great movie.

I listened to the farewell speech. It may be the last speech she gives to a national audience, before she fades into obscurity.
She had better speechwriters when she was running for Vice President. This speech was a little loopy.
Sarah, I do think you would fit well into a job on FoxNews.

"I think the Palin drama is actually important. It's not because of her: she's a delusional, narcissistic and disturbed person who would be voted off a reality show in the first rounds. It's because of John McCain, the Republican establishment and the mainstream media. What happened last fall was a warning sign to all of us about how corrupt and cynical the GOP, McCain and the MSM are. They colluded in such a way that this unstable, erratic, know-nothing beauty queen could actually have been president of the United States. What matters is that all those in on this scam be exposed and their way of conducting themselves be reformed until they stop risking the fate of the country and the world on their own vanities and cowardice.

McCain knew full well that Palin was unqualified to be commander-in-chief at this period of time; and he knew there was no way she could ever learn enough to do the job. So his decision to pick her was pure cynicism and irresponsibility. The MSM knew full well that there were very serious questions about this unknown person's background, lies, mental stability, and secrecy - but they were so terrified of being called biased they refused to do the proper vetting.

The Republican establishment has long condescended to the pro-life, anti-gay, de facto soclialist, de iure capitalist heartland voters - and they cynically believed they had found a formula to get them to vote for McCain on ground of pure class resentment and sex appeal to older white males. Even sane decent people like Matt Scully and Mark MacKinnon signed up. Peggy Noonan was caught lying on national television. The convention was a surreal implosion. I agree with Richard Cohen this morning:

Naming Palin to the GOP ticket -- a top-down choice by McCain -- was the most reckless decision any national politician has made in the longest time, and while it certainly says something about McCain, it says even more about his party. It has lost its mind.

The reason we need to get to the truth of what happened is that these people nearly took this country off a cliff. They need to be held accountable. They need to be removed from their positions of power. We cannot move on until they are. And John McCain should retire from public life. After that decision, nothing he says can be taken seriously on the national or international stage." Andrew Sullivan, columnist

Rig, Chongo never tires of telling me shocking and hilarious anecdotes that his old friend Bonzo passed on to him about making that movie with Ronald Reagan way back when. The man couldn't act his way out of a paper bag. He made Shatner look like Olivier. Bonzo said that if Reagan had been born an ape, his momma would probably have dropped him out of a tall tree when no one was looking, and he wouldn't even have been missed.

Bobert, you will hear a whole lot from Sarah in 2011 when she and Chongo launch the Primate Party's next bid for the presidency of the USA. You betcha. Wait for it. Her problem last time was that she was saddled with that worn-out old loser, McCain. You won't see her for dust when she runs alongside Chongo Chimp.

I hear she became so enthralled with reality TV after meeting with Paul Tuttle from Orange County Choppers she has signed on for the next season of episodes on "Ice Road Truckers."   Early reports were that she would actually be driving but now it seems she will be a waitress at a truck stop in Fairbanks where she gives cheap blowjobs.

Never have so many owed so much bullshit to such drivel so poorly spoken, by Sarah Palin, that Dan Quayle's legacy is growing more scholarly by the day.


At least other politicians be they Reagan or GWB or Arnold Schwartzenegger could quote Milton Friedman as the guru of deregulation and free for all markets unincumbered by any oversight no matter how much damage or death they cause.


Believers see Sarah Palin as one of them. The WIllie and Wilma Lowman's out there know that while they may be under educated their perseverence and effervescense can open doors to the big time money machine. Nothing can pay off as much as being a celebrity for merely being famous.

For "the rest of us" we may seem outraged at the incompetence and ignorance of this woman. We needn't be. This is exactly the kind of person that too big to fail multi national corporations want to lead the herd. Whenever we fall for a charismatic, we end up paying through the nose for the right to be slaughtered financially or literally. (Unless you are a war profiteer or criminal invesment banker.


One thing I've learned in DC is that what completely outrages normal people is quite normal and completely acceptable to insiders.


But then again I have been saying this for 10 years now and things will still get a lot worse before they get better.

Thanks for the link to the farewell speech, Ebbie. Hoo boy, what a wackazoid ol' Sarah is. The text alone doesn't show just how far out-there she is; it's necessary to view clips of her delivery. Hoo boy.

Frankly, I'm disappointed in Shatner's version; he was far too subdued. I was hoping for a "Mr. Tambourine Man"-style rendition... y'know, closer to Palin's own rendition. :-)

So, was there ever a bumper sticker that said, "we don't give a darn how they do it outside"? (or even "a damn"?) I'm not seeing any hits for the phrase on Google other than in reference to Palin's speech, except for one oblique reference in a chat thread on www.pilotsofamerica.com.

"we don't give a darn how they do it outside"

I've heard reference to that phrase but it was used way before my time. I suspect it was before Alaska statehood, or not too long afterward.

There are still oldtimers around who refer to "the states" when they plan a vacation in the lower 48 and the phrase may have come from their heydey.

Wow... Clear Channel doesn't want a Sarah Palin talk-radio show? I'm amazed. Of course she could spout nonsense for 15 hours a week, and the talk would be so far out-there that it would have been a far more entertaining show than Limbaugh's or Hannity's. On the other hand, I can't see Palin interacting with others on-air (taking calls, interviewing dignitaries) without losing her temper at them and alienating them (and, eventually, her listeners?), so I guess Clear Channel made the right call for their business.

Another Palin cancellation of attendance to a Republican event - this is becoming a pattern! Quitting or canceling... probably why Clear Channel thought she would not stick it out long enough to fulfill a contract.
From CNN.com
"...Palin schedule chaos hits GOP....
Despite an earlier announcement from a California Republican women's group, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin will not be speaking to an event sponsored by the group scheduled for next weekend at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, a spokeswoman for her political action committee said Thursday night — the latest such high-profile incident of confusion over the governor's schedule over the past few months......"

Oh, yeah, that quitting-in-the-middle-of-the-contract thing. Maybe she would have considered herself a lame-duck talk-show host! :-)

I agree with Alice that Palin's quitting is becoming a pattern, and so is her denial of ever having committed herself to do the things she quits. See the article below (boldface is mine):


From cbs2.com: "SIMI VALLEY (AP) -- Former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin won't be visiting the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Southern California next week. Palin had been invited to an August 8 gala at the Simi Valley library honoring the 50th anniversary of a local Republican women's group....

Palin spokeswoman Meghan Stapleton posted a note on Palin's web site Thursday [July 30] saying Palin never promised to attend and won't because of other commitments.

Republican Women Federated spokeswoman Pat Saraceno confirmed Palin's absence and said refunds would be offered, but the event will go on."


...I love that "OTHER commitments" bit -- is it a Freudian slip on Stapleton's part that acknowledges that Palin's attendance WAS one of her commitments, despite the supposed lack of a "promise"?
