Oh Sarah, Sarah, Sarah. You are truly the grift that keeps on giving.
If you didn’t exist, some wag would have to make you up.

Sarah Palin Slips into Self-Parody

Skipping to the end:
…
Consider, if you will, what happens to a person who suggests that Sarah Palin is anything other than saintly. Right off the bat, they are accused of disliking America or Alaska or conservatives or mothers or the working class — or even women in general — and then they are informed that their “hatred” is showing. Next, their motives are questioned and their supposedly secret “agenda” is exposed for the world to see, for no right-thinking person could dislike Palin on the merits, natch. “I hope you enjoy your elite cocktail parties,” the apologists will say, and then they will huffily tell you that they “hope signaling that you are ‘one of them’ was worth it.” And finally — as is the case when one expresses disapproval of other cult figures, such as President Obama, Ron Paul, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, and Paul Krugman — it is presumed that all animadversion must be motivated by envy or by snobbery or by secret admiration, and that it can therefore be safely ignored. “What have you done,” they will ask, “that compares to my paragon of virtue?” All told, it’s really quite pathetic.
…
Having been mercilessly and unjustly pilloried by the media throughout the 2008 campaign, Sarah Palin had a clear choice in its aftermath: She could sober up and prove the buggers wrong, or she could collapse into ignominious pasquinade. Sadly, she chose the latter. The rest of us should choose to move on.
**************
I expect to get flamed by the Palin fan club,
but this is one of the best summaries I’ve seen of why she should not be taken seriously as a candidate. It has nothing to do with her policies – it has do with how she conducts herself. I agree entirely that she was not treated fairly by the media in 2008, but she has done nothing but play into the image they’ve created for her ever since. Furthermore, quitting her term as Governor halfway through is a major red flag, and eliminates the credibility of the “executive experience” argument.

What people are failing to realize that at an event where no one particularly stood out, Palin is the one getting the press. At this point in the 2016 election cycle, there is no such thing as bad press.

Spiffy. I guess she should cop a squat in the middle of the Palmer Highway during rush hour? That would get her a LOT of not-bad press. AND be less embarrassing than that speech.
.
And probably smell better.
Well, I’ve already stumbled onto
the post of the thread!
Bear in mind that this is a statement that gets posted on Free Republic about 10 times per hour, usually when some RWNJ makes the news for embarrassing themselves…..
Also bear in mind that about
20 times per hour, someone in Freeperville posts something about the uppity negro in the White Hut.

Think that's pretty stupid?
Wait - there's more!

After reading all the criticism of Gov Palin, I saw and heard it fully. And I instantly understood why the media have got their panties in a twist. This speech was up there with the Gettysburg address. Powerful. The libs are scared out of their wits because they have never heard anything like it.
