Palin gives a lackluster speech in Wisconsin, frequently uses ‘bogus’ or ‘awesome’ to discuss weighty topics.
Palin gives a lackluster speech in Wisconsin, frequently uses ‘bogus’ or ‘awesome’ to discuss weighty topics.
During the summer’s debate over health care reform, right-wing activists and lawmakers latched onto former Alaska governor Sarah Palin’s false claim that President Obama and congressional Democrats were proposing government “death panels” that would “pull the plug on grandma.” While Republican leaders largely abandoned this myth, Palin revived it on Friday during a speech at a Wisconsin Right to Life fundraising banquet. In her remarks, Palin “repeatedly suggested that liberal social policies could lead to de facto euthanasia.” The speech was closed to the press and audience members were not allowed to bring cell phones, cameras, or any recording devices, but a few reporters still managed to sneak in. Politico reports that Friday’s speech was less than inspiring:
Palin had remarks prepared but frequently wandered off-script to make a point, offering audience members a casual “awesome” or “bogus” in discussing otherwise weighty topics.
As in: “It is so bogus that society is sending a message right now and has been for probably the last 40 years that a woman isn’t strong enough or smart enough to be able to pursue an education, a career and her rights and still let her baby live.”
Other Palin touchstones included: praise for the military, jeers for the “the liberal media” and a general manner of speaking that often veered into rhetorical culs-de-sac.
While she drew applause during her remarks, Palin’s extemporaneous and frequently discursive style was such that she never truly roused a true-believing crowd as passionate about the issue at hand as she. Not once during her address did they rise to their feet.
Palin warned on her Facebook page last night that the “death panel” provision is in the health care bill that just passed the House.

November 8th, 2009 at 5:23 pmThe fact that more than 50 million Americans voted for this ignorant, hated filled woman to be a heartbeat away from the presidency saddens me and at the same time scares the living crap out of me.
November 8th, 2009 at 5:23 pmLOL! Sarah reminds me of the ‘Valley Girls’ of the eighties. ‘Like, Gag me with a spoon!’ In fact, she seems to be just as superficial and dumb too.

November 8th, 2009 at 5:48 pmIf Palin is as smart as she claims, she would have looked at the dangers of having a baby at her age. Of course for her the baby is little more than a stage prop but she is hardly one to talk about how to be a mother. She’s just another old white guy in a dress.
November 8th, 2009 at 5:49 pmI understand the audience was warned that Linbaugh has anointed Palin a “rising star” in the Republican Party. Select your comments accordingly.
I wonder how they managed to keep a roomful of adults awake for the duration of her speech.
I wonder if it would be in bad form to ask for your money back after a Palin speech. These Republicans a touchy about their money.
The speech was held behind closed doors. The Republicans want to keep their “secret weapon” under wraps for a while.
I understand Palin went to the same public speaking school as GW Bush.
I assume the applause signs were in full use. I wonder if anyone told Palin?
I wonder if she used a teleprompter.

____________________________________________________
It’s called ‘WORD SALAD’ because her sentences [if anyone can call them that] are nothing but words that run-on with absolutely no meaning. Since salads have a variety of veggies, the only way to describe anything she says is to call it word salad.
I’ll be so happy when the MSM refuses to write anything at all about her since she is ‘dangerous’ due to her bots agreeing with everything she says despite the fact that NO ONE can make sense of her speeches. You know what people say, “if she looked Golda Meier, no one would be talking about her at all”. Her bots think libs are just envious of her looks so you can understand just how mentally challenged and uneducated they are, and they are gearing up for a revolt against Obama due to her word salads. They even state that they are locked and loaded, and one can’t help but wonder when it will begin in earnest. How pathetic!

November 8th, 2009 at 6:09 pmI like the part in reference to the Great Democratic Coin Conspiracy:
……she began her remarks with a puzzling commentary on the design of newly minted dollar coins.
Noting that there had been a lot of “change” of late, Palin recalled a recent conversation with a friend about how the phrase “In God We Trust” had been moved to the edge of the new coins.
“Who calls a shot like that?” she demanded. “Who makes a decision like that?”
She added: “It’s a disturbing trend.”
Unsaid but implied was that the new Democratic White House was behind such a move to secularize the nation’s currency.
But the new coins – concerns over which apparently stemmed from an email chain letter widely circulated among conservatives – were commissioned by the Republican-led Congress in 2005 and approved by President Bush…….
November 8th, 2009 at 6:09 pmMy favorite passage from the article:

November 8th, 2009 at 6:09 pmCan’t Sarah hire a speech writer or something? After all, she got millions for that book. Dear Lord, she is an embarassment. Using ‘Bogus’ and ‘Awesome’ is juvenile.

November 8th, 2009 at 6:11 pmLet’s put this in perspective, please.
“Awesome” is a big word for her. She probably can’t spell it correctly.
The white-wing loves mental midgets. Look at the overwhelming support those dumbbells gave to one of their own, George W. Bush, a man whose rather slow grasp of things was hampered even further by his cocaine and alcohol addictions.
I want to see Levi’s nude photos.

November 8th, 2009 at 6:23 pmSo the audience wasn’t impressed, huh? Maybe Sarah is starting to wear thin. After all, a solid GOP seat is now gone because of her and Limpballs meddling. Maybe the ‘Conservatives’ are wising up.
November 8th, 2009 at 6:24 pmPoor Sarah, she knows she’s an ignorant buffoon.

November 8th, 2009 at 6:27 pmone would think she found her niche at that speaking engagement…frumpy midwestern anti-choice housewives. the fact cut n’ run palin failed to inspire them is very telling.
November 8th, 2009 at 6:27 pmKay in Maine, some how I just don’t think she’s that self-aware.
November 8th, 2009 at 6:27 pmI wonder if Sarah paraded her kids across the stage like Macy’s bags as she always did when it was time to give a speech?
November 8th, 2009 at 6:28 pmTrue, but she knows enough to keep the cameras and all recording devices away! She knows she’s an ignorant buffoon, but luckily there’s a few people in the media who take advantage of that (sneaking in something to record her!).
November 8th, 2009 at 6:29 pmI’ve always been astonished at the nutty right wing’s utter inability to recognize a light-weight.
November 8th, 2009 at 6:31 pmIMHO …The real reason why Sarah Palin has a Loyal and Enthusiastic Following is NOT because of her looks…or her Speeches…or her Political acumen…
It is because she is Pro Life. She is the Pro Life Poster Girl.
Where did she give this speech?? Wisconsin Right to Life.
The anti choice Promoters are a minority…and are frustrated with their inability to Overturn Roe v. Wade…very frustrated.
But they are not without Political Power. Just ask Bart Stupak.
November 8th, 2009 at 6:31 pmYou’d think she know enough, but I’ve not seen evidence of the fact, Kay.
November 8th, 2009 at 6:34 pmWell, thanks Sarah– all educated, career minded, female activists have now changed their minds about having an abortion. You are such a help. Your grasp of the concerns of women in this country is astounding–and awesome.
November 8th, 2009 at 6:34 pmVery true Badger at #69. Her looks of course do come into play, because she uses it like the white woman who screams, “That man raped me!” and points to the only black man among all the white men. She just loves watching men fight for her! This is why she embraces our soldiers so much. She wants to be the pretty woman tied to the tracks and have good looking guys come to her rescue! Seriously, she sets feminism back 2,000 years.
November 8th, 2009 at 6:35 pmLet’s say she has no idea and does believe she’s the smartest person in every room she’s in…..she still knows enough to keep the camera’s/cell phones away which tells me she’s not confident enough to have proof of her stupidity.
Just an observation. But! It’s very possible she doesn’t want to have cameras & cellphones anywhere near her now because she doesn’t want anyone to record a bad hair day or adult acne she may have. :-)
November 8th, 2009 at 6:38 pmSarah Palin, proof evolution works both ways.
November 8th, 2009 at 6:45 pmSo without national-level speechwriters to provide material, Sarah resorts to the language of a teen-ager to try and woo Wisconsin audience members. No wonder the crowd did not leap to its feet. Plainly Sarah is an image with no substance. She did not even think to review her book and use some passages that her ghostwriter wrote! No wonder it took her six years to get a four-year college degree.
November 8th, 2009 at 6:47 pmSo according to Sarah, “society” is encouraging women to have
abortions because we think they’re weak and stupid.
Someone should remind her which party recently voted in favor of gang rape.
November 8th, 2009 at 6:48 pmAs in: “It is so bogus that society is sending a message right now and has been for probably the last 40 years that a woman isn’t strong enough or smart enough to be able to pursue an education, a career and her rights and still let her baby live.”
WTF? We force women to have abortions? I didn’t realize we live in China.
November 8th, 2009 at 6:49 pmSarah is an air-headed idiot? Who knew?

November 8th, 2009 at 6:57 pmWell, she didnt make it as a sportscaster either. No wonder she hates the media.
November 8th, 2009 at 7:01 pmThe right-to-lifers are every bit as uncurious, poorly educated and cliche-ridden as she is.
They tolerate no criticism of her, and they are in awe of female fertility.
Because the repiggie party has embraced this position, they go along with the repiggies on every single topic, bar none.
If the repiggies told them to eat feces in order to outlaw abortion, they would do it.
November 8th, 2009 at 7:07 pm…..“It is so bogus that society is sending a message right now and has been for probably the last 40 years that a woman isn’t strong enough or smart enough to be able to pursue an education, a career and her rights and still let her baby live.”……
Well Sarah, if I am translating your statement correctly, why in the hell did you hide your pregnancy until the 7th month? You should have been proud!
Hypocrite!
November 8th, 2009 at 7:11 pmThe fact that her speech did not bring the audience to their may signify that her 15 minutes of fame are over. We can only hope. She will stick around so long as there are rubes to listen and people stupid enough to pay her to speak.
November 8th, 2009 at 7:17 pmSister Sarah will milk all these people for all the money she can get or who ever is stupid enough to pay. Sarah like most ladies of the night know how to work it. The GOP will use her to get millions from males who think they just might get lucky. Now as for being a candidate well the GOP has moved on to Gov. McDonnell. What’s really sad is how Republican woman allow themselves to be put down and treated like less then human. I hope ONE Republican woman has the guts to stand up and demand respect from these GOP dogs. Sarah is only in this for the money and those who follow her will pay even if it cost them the food for their children.
Anybody notice Sarah’s coloring book cost more then her book.
November 8th, 2009 at 7:23 pmLook for a new TV Show with kindegardeners called “ARE YOU SMARTER THEN SARAH PALIN”. Yes you betya the kids will win by 100 per cent but Sarah will asked to be paid.
November 8th, 2009 at 7:26 pm“Bogus”?
“Awesome”?
What is she aiming for?
November 8th, 2009 at 7:36 pmA female version of Jeff Spicoli?
Why do the GOPers flock to this woman? She is a quitter, she lost her Veep bid, her family life is a mess, and she communicates with people via ‘Face Book’. Her speeches are cringe-worthy, she can’t even talk in co-herent sentences. I guess that’s the appeal. These people want to vote for someone just like them. What ever happened to SMART Conservatives?

November 8th, 2009 at 7:11 pm
Since I heard about her birth experience with her last child, water breaking before a speech in TX, airline flight back to AK, and then riding in a car to the town she lived in — all while knowing she was carrying a high risk pregnancy — I don’t think it would be far off the mark to say she was trying to interfere with the likelihood of that child’s survival.
Mere speculation, of course.
November 8th, 2009 at 7:38 pmPD: What ever happened to SMART Conservatives?
I gotta disagree with ya on that one.
November 8th, 2009 at 7:40 pmIf Sarah really wanted to sell her book, she would hire someone else to do the public speaking. Talk about a buzzkill!
But just like those other Right-wing Whack-jobs, Mann Coulter, Glenn “Gestapo” Beck and Fish-Face Malkin, Newsmax and Wal-mart will buy pallets of her books to advertise them as “best sellers”.

November 8th, 2009 at 7:43 pmKayInMaine@ 67,
I think Palin is self absorbed, basking in the celebrity status the leader Linbaugh has bestowed on her. I take expectation to the Republican token, Palin representing the American women. She is a willing player in this side show, and she deserves the treatment of the patsy.
Palin is a bad joke and it’s sad she is unaware of self. She deserves the ridicule.
November 8th, 2009 at 7:45 pm“What ever happened to SMART Conservatives?” ~ P.D.
You’re cute, P.D. *laughing hysterically at the idea of conservatives being smaht*
November 8th, 2009 at 7:45 pm#91
On that pregnacy thing: Not only did she travel to AK after water broke before she had given a speech, she had a layover in either Denver or Seattle and after the birth in some secluded hospital had to go back to a larger city once the baby was born high risk.
I have never been able to accept this story. I read some account that said the daughter had be incognito during this period as well.
November 8th, 2009 at 7:46 pmZooey, Yeah. And now the torch is passed to people like Palin and Bachman. Man, that makes me shudder.
November 8th, 2009 at 7:47 pmFlight @ #95, oh she deserves the ridicule alright! Funny that she doesn’t see what we see, but then again, she’s Queen of the Cannonball Heads of America! There are no functioning synapses in cannonballs last I checked. LOL
November 8th, 2009 at 7:50 pmKay@96, There was once a time when ‘Smart’ Conservative WERE real. The William Buckleys, and other old timers. But their days have passed. Now the future of the GOP is now in the hands of ‘Birthers’, ‘Tea-Baggers and of course the ‘912ers’. Man, that’s pretty friggin bleak ain’t it?

November 8th, 2009 at 7:51 pmQuite frankly, Palin is a terrible public speaker and would be terrible as president if only for that reason. Part of being a leader is the ability to inspire people with words, which is why many of our great presidents are also considered to be great speakers. Their words give the initiative to inspire positive action.
Palin doesn’t do this, and is incapable of doing this. She can’t even finish a coherent, meaningful sentence without invalidating it with a pointless comparison (”because we eat, we hunt” comes to mind…). Her own words mean nothing; she needs someone else to give her ideas as to what to say. This is why she needs ghostwriters for everything she does, and why she can’t let the press in, lest she embarrass herself and her party. Once the populace figure this out, she will go away. Give it time.
That being said:
“It is so bogus that society is sending a message right now and has been for probably the last 40 years that a woman isn’t strong enough or smart enough to be able to pursue an education, a career and her rights and still let her baby live.”
This is just an example. I can give my own sister, who recently gave birth, has a master’s degree and works a good job, as an example that this is just Palin talking out of her ass; i.e. implying that people are after her and her baby (it really smells like a response to people talking about her teenage daughter).
November 8th, 2009 at 7:52 pmKasinca @ #97, Sarah had plenty of time to fly home to Alaska from Texas to “give birth”, because her daughter Bristol was holed up at the Aunt & Uncle’s house in Wasilla (no baby born to the Governor at Mat-Su hospital. You would have thought pro-life Sarah would have wanted Trig’s birth to be announced!) giving birth to Trig at their home in one of the bedrooms. See? That fake pregnancy belly came flying off once she left the Anchorage airport and got into the awaiting family car to drive her an hour and a half away to see her first grandchild!
This is my conspiracy theory and I’m sticking to it. :-)
November 8th, 2009 at 7:54 pm“It is so bogus that society is sending a message right now and has been for probably the last 40 years that a woman isn’t strong enough or smart enough to be able to pursue an education, a career and her rights and still let her baby live.”
Like, oh my God! Doesn’t she know, like, Hillary Rodham Clinton?
November 8th, 2009 at 8:03 pmGag me with a spoon!
The speech was closed to the press [...] but a few reporters
still managed to sneak in.
Thank you.
November 8th, 2009 at 8:03 pmNew stimulus monies are helping men, women, seniors, and families; new home-buying incentives are taking economic pressures away from many, families! IMO, previous stridencies, may be replaced by calmer opinions, and on identical topics, or subjects?!
November 8th, 2009 at 8:03 pmSarah is not smart enough to teach her children to use birth control.
November 8th, 2009 at 8:05 pmKay in Maine, you made me laugh, thanks.
The Palin pregnancy story. This does keep bubbling up. You would think some sharp reporter would check this out! It would be a great story.
November 8th, 2009 at 8:06 pmWith performances like this and after NY 23, does anyone think that we’ll start to see the right back off the whole Sarah Barracuda phenomenon?
November 8th, 2009 at 8:06 pm#88 Jackie,
November 8th, 2009 at 8:10 pmI bet that a syndicated program called “Pallin’ with Palin” is in the works.
lex@109, I hope not. I hope the Righties follow Sarah right off the cliff. And I think they will. These people aren’t very bright.

November 8th, 2009 at 8:11 pmPoor, Poor Sarah…
Such a limiting life having to continually monitor the blogs and the media for people being critical of Sarah Palin, child of god. You know that phrase that Faux “news” uses?
They report. We decide.
And the jury is in on Ms. Palin.

The NY-23 was poetic justice.
It reminded me of the dog that saw his reflection in the water. He opened his mouth to grab the bone that his reflection was holding and lost them both.
Gotta love it.
November 8th, 2009 at 8:16 pmAbout Sarah travelling back to Wasilla from Texas after her water broke and she knew her baby had Downs. Exactly how many hospitals with NeoNatal Intensive Care Units(NCIU) did she go past to get to one, Mat-Su Hospital, that did not have a NCIU?
November 8th, 2009 at 8:16 pmPretty soon Sarah’s star will flame out. She holds no office, she isn’t being courted by many Repugs looking to get re-elected. She will soon be in the dust-bin with other fading freak shows. Carrie Prejean comes to mind.
November 8th, 2009 at 8:17 pm*sorry NCIU = NICU
November 8th, 2009 at 8:20 pmMy home was pushed polled in AZ this weekend. The way they worded the questions was just like Sarah’s phrasing… 1) are you in favor of Gov’t funded abortions? 2) Are you in favor of Government sanctioned rationing of Elder Health Care? They wanted to know my sex and my age…
I hate these push polls. They are so misleading.

What right do they have to ask your sex and age? Who pays for them? No doubt an ultra-Conservative group. Ironic isn’t it? They claim the ‘Governmemt’ is trying to run your life, and yet these push polls asked for your sex and age. Hypocrisy, no?

They do, indeed, blur together. I find it helpful to just envision an amorphous blob I call “stupid troll/trolls”. There are only a few distinct entities among the “regular” trolls despite the endless number of sockpuppets and screen names. Frankly, I no longer find a need to differentiate between them.

November 8th, 2009 at 9:11 pmWhy does it seem that conservative women are all damaged goods in that they were either dropped at birth, improperly potty trained, or abused at an early age? Palin fits the mold.
November 8th, 2009 at 9:13 pm…and for all the wingnuts, I don’t hate Palin. I just find her stupid as hell and it amazes me that wingnuts see anything in her.
November 8th, 2009 at 9:14 pmGovernor of Alaska doesn’t generate much cash. Or camera time, so she quit. Sarah is truly stupid and she knows it. She can pull in more cash from the rubes in the few years of her infamy than she ever could in AK.
She is a lightweight and all her supporters are weak as a lukewarm cup of piss. But there are enough of these idiots that will pay to watch the freak bite the head off a turkey that I think she will be around for a bit.
And that’s a good thing from my perspective. It must really piss off any serious conservative to be associated with Bible Spice.
November 8th, 2009 at 9:15 pmThis appears to be sound advice! I don’t have a problem with differing opinions, but the incessant fact-free accusations and ignorant hatred and intolerance just gets to be too much to just let slide by.
I’ve had some very good debates with Rebpulicans that back up their opinions with some reasonable thinking. While I may still disagree with them, it’s enjoyable to talk about different ways of looking at the same issues.
But some people prove themselves to just be too ignorant to be engaging in grown-up discussions and it seems the only way to deal with them is the same way you deal with children. You have to be firm, point out the facts and remind them that they don’t know what they’re talking about.
At least with kids, you can teach them how to form a cogent opinion and present it in a respectable manner.
November 8th, 2009 at 9:16 pmPalin puts the “anal” in banal.

Face it, your last “party” was literally your last “party.” I know I’m tired of playing your dangerous games. From silly shit about flag pins to your wars, occupation, and scare tactics.
repug “party” really means a sparsely attended overly planned racist “party”, headlining ridiculous heavy hitters speakers,shouting lies and deceit.
repugs choose to act like cavemen when they don’t have a viable argument and when they don’t know the meaning of big words.
Telling and spreading lies is not a viable opposition in the people’s process.
November 8th, 2009 at 9:18 pmEven among the Evangelicons I don’t think she’ll ever get past having a witch hunter cast protective spells on her.

These ‘Evagelicals’ are a crazy bunch. Trying to scare children by claiming their candy is cursed is downright wrong. The whole thing was weird.
November 8th, 2009 at 9:22 pmjalevitator,
I try to ignore them but once in a great while one may introduce something, usually as an easily debunked falsehood, that’s worthy of study and discussion. Plus the outrageous, hateful, crap that must be condemned. Other than that there’s little reason to even engage them. When I mention them at all I try to phrase it like describing an unusual fungus found growing in a Petri-dish.
November 8th, 2009 at 9:23 pmP.D. yes… the irony here is that they wanted to know if my age was over 50 and if I was a “Male” —
I have to wonder though what the breakdown is about the male/female ratio of support for abortion.
Also, for women over 50 who might just remember what it might have been like to not have access to safe legal abortions…
I can only surmise that the poll will be used to create an ad that will target a specific demographic against the public option in the coming days/weeks/months.
November 8th, 2009 at 9:24 pmP.D.
The fear and ignorance they pass to their children is the most maddening thing about the whole movement.

November 8th, 2009 at 9:28 pmpete@152, I think that’s why the younger Evangelicals are leaving their Elders Churches in droves. Much of it has to do with the Environment, and Social Justice. Their Elders obsession over gays and abortion take full focus. Younger people have more tolerance for gays. But you are right. the Bible is these guys textbook. And it’s always the Old Testament that they use.
November 8th, 2009 at 9:37 pmP.D.
You could be right. There is also some reason too think that religious fervor tends to skip generations. The children of real fanatics are put off and tend to overreact. Then their children seem more susceptible in compensation from the disinterest and/or hostility of their parents.
History and mythology both are full of examples of whole generations rejecting some particular ideology only to see the next readopt it, or find a replacement.
November 8th, 2009 at 9:46 pmZooey says:
Since I heard about her birth experience with her last child…
– - Very late to the party, but Andrew Sullivan has been,as far as I can tell, the only blogger who has doggedly pursued this angle. His latest on it:
In the Friday Wisconsin speech, we were reminded again of how central the Trig pregnancy remains to the Palin phenomenon. McCain, in the three minutes he spent thinking about it, saw Palin as some kind of “reformer”. In fact, she was carefully marketing herself in 2008 as the uber-Christianist, and her carrying to term a Down Syndrome baby was the single most important fact about her for the base (and still is). This is what Kristol saw in her: a walking embodiment of the pro-life movement, but also usable to launch further warfare in Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan or wherever the next neoconservative adventure can be found.
So what did we learn on Friday? We learned for the first time that the Dish’s appalling interest in her odd amniocentesis was onto something. In September 2008, I asked:
Why would a pro-life woman choose the procedure that could lead to the death of her unborn child rather than the safe, less invasive procedure? I don’t know. It’s one of many mystifying weirdnesses in Palin’s own account of her pregnancy.
You’d think I’d accused her of manslaughter. But it now turns out that Palin did have an early ultrasound before the amnio – at least according to her latest version of the one-month-long public pregnancy and miraculous airplane labor across several time zones and continents. And it was the ultrasound, and not the amniocentesis, that revealed the Down Syndrome:
Palin spoke movingly of her youngest son, Trig, who has Down syndrome. She recalled that when she was pregnant, she underwent an ultrasound and the technician told her, “I see boy parts.” Later, the technician told her that the baby’s neck “is a little bit thicker,” an indication that there might be an extra chromosome. A few days later, Down syndrome was confirmed.
Presumably, the confirmation came by amniocentesis, a procedure that posed a small but real threat to the baby’s life. So the Dish wasn’t crazy to ask this obvious question. Palin might have finessed this story last year because she didn’t want to answer the question of why, as a pro-life woman, she would risk the life of her unborn child merely to confirm a diagnosis that had already been made. It could also be explained by a simple compression of the pregnancy story – but that’s a little convenient given her acute control of the message at the time. There’s one other aspect of her current story that’s a bit strange as well.
The story, as we knew it from before (from the book, “Trailblazer”, and a recent speech in Indiana), was that Palin found out she was pregnant “while out of state first, at an oil and gas conference.” (It’s unclear if she had had a pregnancy test at her doctor’s and had the results confirmed to her over the phone or if she did a test herself, or just realized she must be pregnant.) Before she knew anything about the condition of the child, she said Friday she contemplated an abortion:
While out of state, there just for a fleeting moment, wow, I knew, nobody knows me here, nobody would ever know. I thought, wow, it is easy, could be easy to think, maybe, of trying to change the circumstances. No one would know. No one would ever know.
By her account, she resisted that temptation but lapsed back into conflict after the Down Syndrome confirmation:
Then when my amniocentesis results came back, showing what they called abnormalities. Oh, dear God, I knew, I had instantly an understanding for that fleeting moment why someone would believe it could seem possible to change those circumstances. Just make it all go away and get some normalcy back in life. Just take care of it. Because at the time only my doctor knew the results, Todd didn’t even know. No one would know. But I would know.
Some remaining questions: When exactly did Todd find out about the pregnancy? And when did he discover that his son had Down Syndrome? Or were those two pieces of news delivered simultaneously? Why did the Palins make no attempt to prepare their other children for Trig’s special needs when they had so long to do so? Why on earth did Palin believe that the mere fact of her pregnancy would elicit criticism and disdain – “Oh, the criticism that I knew was coming” – when it would obviously actually redound to her credit as a working mom and governor?
Maybe her “book” will resolve these and other empirical questions about the logic and detail of her pregnancy and labor stories. Maybe someone will even ask her to clarify the chronology of the critical reason for her enduring appeal. It would, you know, be relevant, if not deferent.
November 8th, 2009 at 9:48 pmpete@155, Excellant point. My mother’s embrace of the whole ‘Born Again’ religion not only turned me and my sister off, she has lost a lot of friends too. Now she surrounds herself with people who think just like she does. In that, I mean, a bunch of elderly religous types who never stray from their community. It is kind of sad to see my mother, who was once active in all kinds of different things, now secluded with a bunch of other people who think we are all going to Hell. Sigh.
November 8th, 2009 at 9:53 pmHeh, Badmoonman – I don’t give her that much credit. I think she made most of that shit up because it made her look good.
November 8th, 2009 at 9:53 pmBad@156, Wow. You have certainly done your homework. But I think Sarah’s book will focus on trivial crap. Sarah doesn’t look the contemplating, thinking type. Thoughtfull analysis isn’t her forte’.
November 8th, 2009 at 9:58 pmLook how quick she is to play the victim there. “Oh women can;t do this women can’t do that!” Yes, most public women stink at making decisions. Know which women make the right choices? The ones at home.
November 8th, 2009 at 10:06 pmactually men make riskier decisions, which is worse. so if women want to make some choices, more power to them.
November 8th, 2009 at 10:08 pmBadmoodman,
If we just assume that Palin’s thought process about this pregnancy is true (always risky), then it’s more obvious than ever that she uses her children as props.
I feel sorry for little Trig, because Down Syndrome children need so much special care, and that takes so much of the time of both parents, and I wonder how much of that care he’s really getting.
November 8th, 2009 at 10:08 pmAaronQ of Maine,
You’re making some fairly wide sweeping generalizations, but I get your point.
November 8th, 2009 at 10:10 pmanyone who has taken more than 4 feminism class know that I’m just being silly, because there is a big difference between gender and se.x. Like many men are feminine and many women are masculine. I think Sarah is the masculine female but she exploits the fact she still has a va-jay-jay. You never see Hillary crying over the fact she doesn’t get respect just because she is a woman… Sarah is sending feminism back to the 60’s. which is why only uneducated people and horny men like her.
November 8th, 2009 at 10:13 pmZooey,
Considering some of Bible Spice’s professed Beliefs, Trig might be better off with nannies. For all the pictures of her with the family I can’t think of one that shows any particular tenderness. Usually she doesn’t even seem aware of the kids.
November 8th, 2009 at 10:14 pmZooey@162, I wonder if what Levi was saying is true. That Sarah left all the parenting to her older children. (That’s if you can believe what that skank Levi says.) Sarah travels alot, she makes appearences and she had time to ‘Write’ a book. I have a retarded older sister. The amount of time you have to spend with a special needs person is not only physically draining, but emotionally as well.
November 8th, 2009 at 10:15 pmIm sure some of the stuff Sarah is saying is out of her ghost book.
Become the ghost writer. Say weighty things!

Well, Levi as a source is rather squishy, but frankly, I’d almost give his word more weight than hers.
You’re right about the time it takes to raise a child with a disability. My eldest has autism, and all through his childhood I had to take jobs that didn’t pay as well as some others, because (as a single parent) I had to be able to run out of the office at a moment’s notice if the school called. It takes an incredible amount of time, and as parents we have to make the hard choices.
And pete’s right, all things being equal, having a nanny raising that baby is probably the best thing. *sigh*

Yup, that is good for one of those WTF moments, isn’t it? Actually, it looks like an inversion of the old super-hypocritical Phyllis Schlafly message, where-in the girls are supposed to do what the girls have always done, and never mind that Phyllis herself would rip you a new one if you told her to get in the kitchen. It’s the anti-feminist right wing feminist schtick.
Of course, as both Sarahcuda and Phyllis are on the same side of the Republipimp-Cornservative divide, Sarah probably thinks of Phyllis as something of a mentor and wise woman. Ah, check that; Sarah doesn’t think of anyone but Sarah, but she may have a factotum that thinks that for her.
Hell, maybe it’s just stream-of-unconsciouness…

Thanks for the list, but a lot of them are dead, all of them are white. And I doubt they would be in the repug club of today.
That’s a pitiful little list.

November 8th, 2009 at 11:26 pmIt is so bogus that Palin thinks bureaucrats in Washington should make the most intimate decisions about women’s health rather than allowing women to make those decisions themselves.
November 8th, 2009 at 11:31 pmIf people were paid a decent wage, and minimum wage actually went somewhere, one of the parents could stay home and raise the kid lady.
Who saw to it that we had to have both parents going to work?
What happened to the days when dad could work as head wiper at the car wash and support his family?
Repugs don’t seem to get it their policies have made it too difficult for many women to afford to have the child.
These Repugs want it both ways.

… but no ‘List of Hollywood Democrats’…
… huh.
November 8th, 2009 at 11:33 pmLike so many republicans, Palin is irrelevant, out of touch, self-serving and not worthy of anyone’s time.
November 8th, 2009 at 11:57 pmWhen we have our own jerks like Joe Lieberman (and a few others immediately come to mind, like Baucus, Nelson, Conrad, Landrieu, Bayh, Lincoln), we don’t need to spend energy on what the ideologues, demagogues and jackasses of the republican party do; we need to get our own people to fall in line or get the hell out of the way.

anyone who has taken more than 4 feminism class know that I’m just being silly, because there is a big difference between gender and se.x. Like many men are feminine and many women are masculine. I think Sarah is the masculine female but she exploits the fact she still has a va-jay-jay. You never see Hillary crying over the fact she doesn’t get respect just because she is a woman… Sarah is sending feminism back to the 60’s. which is why only uneducated people and horny men like her.
This woman gets a lot of welfare from the “bad” government and a FREE million dollar home from building contractors. The first dude (nasty) is a bum. She is buds with oldest crook in the Senate.
She is up to her throat in bs, crime, drugs, racist, cheating and lies and is accused of an assortment of abuse.
skank! opportunist! self-absorbed! witch! stupid! silly! racist! whacko! weird! skanky! And it come so easily for her.
repugs are pathetic
mcwar: What about that Sarah?
November 8th, 2009 at 11:59 pmHave those Insurance Companies that “profit from abortions” given money to her or any of her campaigns?

“Reasonable,” bluesunflower. :D
I think Sarah Michelle Gellar’s pretty reasonable. And excluding that one stint after her husband had that affair with her best friend, Heather Locklear is in general pretty reasonable too.
November 9th, 2009 at 12:17 am(from the book, “Trailblazer”
UGH! The title. UGH!
Self-absorbed.
Sounds like one of her children’s name.

Srsly, who agrees to do a sex tape? And Prejean is supposed to be such a good “christian”
Talk about a contradiction in terms. Idiots, every one of them. Palin is an extreme example.
November 9th, 2009 at 12:26 amPalin was making a ridiculous attempt to rewrite history in the reverse,
as is the republican trend these days.
She can’t possibly believe that rights of women have diminished
in the past forty years.
But then, as with all things Sarah,
true progress is far beyond her comprehension.
1966: In response to EEOC inaction on employment discrimination complaints, the National Organization for Women was founded
1968: New York Radical Women garner media attention to the women’s movement when they protest the Miss America Pagent in Atlantic City
1968: The first national women’s liberation conference is held in Chicago
1968: The National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL) is founded
1968: Shirley Chilsom (D-NY) is the first black woman elected to Congress
1970: The Equal Rights Amendment is reintroduced into Congress
1973: The first battered womens shelters open in the U.S.,
in Tucson, Arizona and St. Paul, Minnesota
1973: In Roe v Wade, the Supreme Court establishes a women’s right to abortion, effectively canceling the anti-abortion laws of 46 states
November 9th, 2009 at 12:32 am1970: The Equal Rights Amendment is reintroduced into Congress
AHHHH, there you go. 40 years from that attempt to right the many wrongs of the Constitution. It is time to bundle ALL who seek the rights the constitution supposed provides, but have local governments trampling their rights. I mean the LGBT community.
It is time to resubmit the ERA.
November 9th, 2009 at 12:52 amActually,
November 9th, 2009 at 1:11 amI will be rubbing the religious reference off of the new coins when I get them. Dremels are great for that. The word god should not be on anything having to do with the government PERIOD!
I can see the appeal of a politician using language that the common voter uses because then they can relate to the politician, but we tried that…twice with Bush, and look where it got us.
For me, I want my elected officials to be able communicate with everyone, not just with Joe Six-pack.
November 9th, 2009 at 4:42 amHow can people who never read books do so much talking?
Hating ACORN
November 9th, 2009 at 5:22 amA lot of Republicans will be upset at Palin when as she continues her assault on GOP pocketbooks and doesn’t run for President. She is only in it for the cash, if she were not just in it for the pay she would be happy to have the press attend these events. The reason press is excluded is that if they were allowed everyone would soon find out how clueless and shallow she is and her opportunities to gather big speaker fees would disappear. “Awesome” is the word the radical right applies to Palin, as for me “bogus”.
November 9th, 2009 at 6:17 amI think what Sarah was really saying is she has knocked herself backwards over the last 40 years because she’s a republican. Goes hand in hand. She’s letting us know that republican women are stupid and can’t make choices for themselves. This is why they’re pro-life because making choices is scary without a man telling them what to do. See? Sarah is backwards and still going in that direction.

I agree with you.
This is a like going to a job interview and talking slang.
November 9th, 2009 at 7:38 amWow. One jab at Palin being better looking than liberal women? Pretty weak performance by tonight’s troll bunch.
F-minus-minus.
November 9th, 2009 at 7:45 amMy understanding is she uses words like these in her $4.95 book someone wrote for her.
November 9th, 2009 at 8:05 amImagining Palin lacking luster is like a dim light bulb lacking a lamp.
November 9th, 2009 at 8:18 amOnly one troll in tbe whole thread. And from his little mind comes an idiotic statement about Palin and her man-jaw being more aesthetically pleasing that liberal women.
That says it all Conservative guy. It’s official. You are certified wacko!
November 9th, 2009 at 9:12 amAhhhhh is the sparkle wearing off the princess? Gee didn’t see that coming.
November 9th, 2009 at 9:58 amstoopid white trash kunt
November 9th, 2009 at 10:36 amFunny, I thought McCain’s choice of Palin as VP was bogus but thought it was awesome when she made a complete fool of herself on the national stage.
November 9th, 2009 at 10:56 amPalin: It is so bogus that society is sending a message right now and has been for probably the last 40 years that a woman isn’t strong enough or smart enough to be able to pursue an education, a career and her rights and still let her baby live.
Wow, I know Alaska is way up there in the sticks but didn’t a thing called the Woman’s movement start like back in the 70’s? Haven’t millions of women gone on to college, seek professional careers while still having children? Didn’t Sarah Palin herself go to numerous colleges, seek a career and have children?
November 9th, 2009 at 11:02 amSomeone should tell Palin that there is a eugenics program to kill off stupid people so that she can shout it from the mountain tops as she refutes it with her presence.
November 9th, 2009 at 1:36 pmHow can the Republicans cut taxes and cut spending without death panels?
