Dahlia Lithwick: Sarah Palin's completely inscrutable resignation speech last week was only the most recent example of a lengthy political communication from her that explained nothing, clarified nothing, and expounded upon nothing, save for the fact that she speaks in riddles and koans. Watch it as many times as you like; you still come away feeling you've been treated to a cozy chat with the Mad Hatter. The media are bad. Those ethics complaints are expensive. Alaska was a great idea. She is not a dead fish. Put it all together and what do you get? A born fighter who has given us no sense whatsoever of what she's fighting for.

Gotta agree with the characterization of Saint Sarah as the poster child for "Poor me, they are victimizing me again".

She gets a varsity letter in Team self pity.

You betcha!

Too!

Also!

"Say goodbye to future of GOP

Just when I thought it wasn't safe to turn on the TV last week, lest I be transported back to a bizarro "Groundhog Day" world of morbid, nonstop, ad nauseam Michael Jackson coverage, with the same stock video footage playing over and over and over, day after day after day, on every network, Gov. Sarah Palin emerged to provide comic relief.
It's hard to imagine that Palin could outdo anything she's done before to appear ridiculous, but when she decided to bail out as governor of Alaska, and announced it by delivering a jumbled, rambling, confusing speech, that was so rampant with incoherent babble, senseless analogies, gibberish, nonsense, paranoia, and non sequiturs, I had the feeling I was watching Tina Fey doing her impersonation. I had to double-check the channel to make certain I was tuned to CNN and not to a biting satire on Comedy Central.

With this latest absurd oration, Palin sealed the deal and confirmed she's been living in territory way beyond her pay-level ever since John McCain selected her as his running mate.

After listening to her, one can only assume that most of our nation is again breathing a big sigh of relief that Palin's overreaching delusional pipe dream of becoming vice president of the United States was thwarted -- a position for which she, among all possible contenders, was, and still is, uniquely unqualified."

Goodby Dahlia Lickyourwick.

Ah...more Palin amateur (psycho)analysis. What are we going to do now that her 15 minutes of fame as come to a clumsy end??

Progressive pundits must be in a panic. Who out there will be on the receiving end of the snark attacks, snippy condescension and derision now that she has exited stage right?


Well for starters, there's Biden. OOPs, can't touch that tongue twisted buffoon...he's a liberal.

Maybe the exalted speaker whose press conferences antics depict a featherhead's featherhead. Nope. She a progressives progressive.

Whoever replace the Governor can expect their character to be systematically shredded.


Is this the weekly Palin thread where libs bash retarded children?

oh boy, eddie's head is gonna explode.

"but but but you fear her!!!!"

I don't think anyone mentioned you on this thread, Thom.


Frighteningly Witless Thom

Well, there's always Newt. And Sanford and Enisgn. Larry Craig is always availble. And that nut Bachman. Let not your heart be troubled, the GOP is full of whackjobs deserving of ridicule.

Don't forget to throw Tom Coburn into the mix as the one who advised Ensign to pay off his mistress to shut her up.

I'm all for 'fuck the system', but you have to know what the fuck you are doing.

Excellent list of potential fodder for the drooling elite opinion makers in the press like Madow and Obermann.

Now, how about Frank, Dodd or, maybe, Shella Jackson Lee? Damn, I forgot. The knucleheads are lefties and are sacrosanct.

#12 - Thom, you gotta admit, you set yourself up for that one.

I thought he set up Eddie.

there are at least two retards in the palin household

Poor sarah-the media picks on her and her family and she can't wait to invite the media to go fishing with her and her family. She hates the MSM so much she'll only do 10 minute exclusives with each network.

She's just a mediawhore who knew her 15 minutes were up and that reality in Alaska wouldn't get her on the news, so now she's creating a new reality. She's Sarah "pay attention to me" Palin. Not Governor sarah and not plumber Joe should get a TV show "Focus on Us".

seriously, isn't it her 16th minute yet?


pipe dream of becoming vice president of the United States was thwarted

I only know one person, out of the thousands of people that i know, that actually think she was a viable candidate.

And that person is a extremely religious, bush loving, closeted feminist, female. And she bought some glasses just like hers.

I can't wait to see her (she's my sister in-law) so we can chat about recent events.

Watch it as many times as you like; you still come away feeling you've been treated to a cozy chat with the Mad Hatter. The media are bad. Those ethics complaints are expensive.

...I have no idea what you're talking about so here's a picture of some pancakes on an idiot's head.

Dahlia Lithwick: Sarah Palin's completely inscrutable resignation speech last week...explained nothing, clarified nothing, and expounded upon nothing, save for the fact that she speaks in riddles and koans. Watch it as many times as you like; you still come away feeling you've been treated to a cozy chat with the Mad Hatter.

Have to admit Palin's speech was like watching a trainwreck -- but isn't that why we all like her?

I'm tired of boring, stilted political speeches. One thing you can never accuse Sarah Palin of being is "predictable" and/or having to listen to the "same old boring thing" coming out of her mouth over and over again. You never know what she (or her family for that matter) is going to say -- or do -- next.

As I said, isn't that why we all "kinda like Sarah"?

And why those on "the left" can't, nor apparently do they want to, just let her go. LOL

As much as Ol' Sarah is a trainwreck, I am more afraid of Pelosi....

The first time I saw her the first words I said were "McCain has lost his fucking mind"

I stand by my assessment.

its so GOOD to see you dupes here mimick the staterun media about her...

she gives a speech without a teleprompter and does sound like the little package they all do all wrapped up in THEMSLEVES>...and she gets the business.

and lettrman is still on her case...at least this time it was worth a small chuckle and didnt go after her children..........

ah but not to worry...there should be another attack on her kids anytime now since the staterun media and other libs just cant help themselves...

Alaskan = Moron!!!

Litwick said that Palin "explained nothing, clarified nothing,and expounded upon nothing" but this is untrue because Palin's Governorship actaully explained,expounded and clarified that the Alaskans who voted her into office were a large group of extremely dim-witted Morons!!!

and the FEAR continues.....

whats it like to be so SCARED of a person like her??

and the FEAR continues.....

This is the part I really don't understand. The far right somehow believes liberals fear her.

That's kind of like fearing your little sister's witch costume on Halloween.

Everyone on the left is begging the GOP to nominate her.

The debates alone would be extraordinarily delightful.

Not to mention the wedge she would sledgehammer into the ranks of the GOP.

I don't know where you guys bought the idea that you can excommunicate half of your party and still win a national election, but you should try to get a refund.

the left fears her for JUST the reason of this thread
even with the resignation which didnt make a lot of sense to me because OF this reaction..

and her polling is still higher than the others..
people love her because she is just what 'feminists' said they wanted for a long time

a succesfull working mother...it's the abortion issue that makes them assault her kids, her family, her lifestyle...(which isnt different than most families I would venture)...

she simply isnt supposed to HAVE those things and not be for the killing of innocent life in the womb............

and just like joe the plumber...she MUST BE destroyed..........

the OTHER THREAD, I meant....where the poll results are...

and just like joe the plumber...she MUST BE destroyed..........

You mean Sam Wurglburger, the non-plumber? You righties and your love of alternate realities...
They did a pretty good job of self-destruction with anyone outside the evanjihadist wing of the GOP. Folk like you.

Sort of like Ensign and Sanford, only with pants on.
Sarush gets an assist on tanking McToast there, too. Also.

She's on her way to making millions of dollars due to comments like this! Keep talking, she will happily take that multi-zeroed check with the BIG dollar sign! She is free to earn every dime of it, cause some idiot was pressing the ethics button in Alaska (FIFTEEN plus this last one and nothing has stuck). That's one every six weeks!

Not a fucking one of you here could go thru that and still HOPE to do your job! The equivalent of one State or Federal indictment every six weeks, all submitted without proof of wrong-doing. $500,000.00 in debt, could you keep YOUR business afloat thru that?

If anything she's pragmatic!

Whether she runs or not, she will no longer be POOR!

But on a different point, this shows what Idiots some of you are, attacking a BABY! Good GOD, get a grip! Is this REALLY the best you can do? Your families should be proud of ALL of you! A HELPLESS BABY?

She's one thing, the child is something completely different!

But, what the hell you'll all here about and from her for years to come! Because of Obama and Biden's lack of intestinal fortitude the door is open in both 2010 AND 2012 for dramatic changes! We'll see what happens!

Should people who live in glass houses cast stones?

Obama, who can't formulate an extemperaneous thought, and is lost without a teleprompter. You know the Obama, "Er, ah, uh, er, ah Obama."

Biden, who is also know as "Hopper," since he always has one foot in his mouth and so is compelled to hop.

And that exquisite Nancy Pelosi, who sounds addled "all of the time" is another favorite.

We've got to give thin-voiced Harry Reid a pass, since he quietly goes his way feathering his nest. He doesn't sound psychotic or exhibit neurological problems as Obama does. And he does have a brain. Harry takes care of his own business, which is using federal money to make the Nevada desert bloom in proximity to where he and his associates per happenstance, had acquired property.

Happenstance isn't exactly the word I'd use Johnson but you do have a way of understating things in a way that bites. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Gotta keep up these Palin threads, even though she's gone. DR needs the traffic, and it's the only thing the libbies can get excited about, given Bush's third term in the White House, and the self-destruction of the Dems on Capitol Hill.

We'll have another one ready for you . . . umm . . . Sunday afternoon or so.

I don't care how much money Sarah makes.

Good on her. Making money is a good thing as long as you don't steal it.

If you want to know what I fear about her, it's the thought of her in any way making policy that affects me.

I know that's the exact same way you righties feel about the Obama crew, but "election have consequences".

So, suck it up and enjoy the ride like we did for 8 years.

Jackals will always eat what is easy and defenseless

They are just fulfilling their evolutionary position. Completely without morals
