It’s now officially confirmed. Sarah Palin is a total and complete babbling idiot.
When Sarah Palin wrote a few notes on her hand during her speech to a tea party convention last month, she was ridiculed by bloggers, comedians and White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs. This weekend, she defended the notes at an Ohio pro-life fund-raiser, saying she was in good company.
A fan, she said, had sent her a biblical passage. Isaiah 49:16 reads: “See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me.”
“Hey, if it was good enough for God, scribbling on the palm of his hand, it’s good enough for me, for us. He says, in that passage he says, I wrote your name on the palm of my hand to remember you. And I’m like OK, I’m in good company,” Palin said to laughter.

For those who didn’t get enough of Sarah Palin during the media blitz for her first book, you’re in luck!
HarperCollins announced today that Palin is penning a second book, this time a “celebration of American virtues and strengths.”
Since Palin’s Going Rogue: An American Life shot to #1 on the New York Times bestseller list, it seems only natural that Palin would try to duplicate her success, this time with a compilation of readings that inspire Palin, according to the publisher.
“She will also draw from her personal experience to amplify these timely (and timeless) themes,” HarperCollins said in a statement.
And while we’re on the subject of Palin, I thought this was funny.
Sarah Palin aligns her public image with the heartland, but it appears the former Alaska Governor has gone Hollywood. And when she leaves, she may be taking some of it with her.
On top of an appearance on the Tonight Show and rumors that she’s shopping around a TV show with reality producer Mark Burnett, Palin and her entourage were seen partaking in one of celebrity’s lushest rituals — the Oscar gifting suite.
But E! Online insists, “we can assure you she did not give up any of her swag.” They quote an unnamed vendor who claims that upwards of 20 people from the Palin camp swarmed the event. “They were like locusts,” he told the entertainment news outlet.
According to AOL’s Pop Eater, publicist Ben Russo of EMC/Bowery said, “she kind of cleaned the place out.” They list out a number of her swag-grabs, including United Hair Care products, jewels from Pascal Mouawad, Skagen watches and a whopping 40 pairs or AIAIAI earphones.
She’s never going to let go of the brass ring she lucked into. And as long as there are suckers out there to purchase her books or pay $200 to hear her babble on about nothing, why should she.

Seriously, stupid no longer begins to describe Sarah Palin.
“I studied journalism, my college degree there in communications. And now I am back there wanting to build some trust back in our media. I think the mainstream media is quite broken and I think there needs to be the fairness, the balance in there — that’s why I joined Fox. Fair and balanced, yes. You know because, Jay, those years a go that I studied journalism it was all about the who, what, when, where, and why, it was not so much the opinion interjected in hard news stories. … As long as there is not the opinion under the guise of hard news stories — I think there needs to be clear differentiation.”
Trying to decipher Palinese gives me a headache.

In a recent interview with Newsmax, [Jeb] Bush was asked whether he thought Palin was a viable candidate for president. Though he had some nice things to say about her “charisma,” it was clear that Bush thinks Palin doesn’t have the intellectual heft to occupy the oval office. He said that Palin’s success depends on her willingness to add a “depth of understanding of the complexity of life we’re living in today” to her rhetoric.
“That’s up to her,” he said. “I mean, I don’t know what her deal is, but my belief is in 2010 and 2012, public leaders need to have intellectual curiosity.”
Ok, two things. First of all, Bush is right. He recognizes Palin for what she is – an empty-headed opportunist who appeals only to weak-minded conservatives. That’s an easy one. As a thinking conservative, Jeb understands that a Sarah Palin would have zero chance of winning a presidential election against Obama…or for that matter, against Goofy.
But here’s the bigger question. What does Jeb think of brother George who he helped put into office by stealing the Florida election in 2000? By what criteria could he claim that George W. was any more intellectually curious than Palin? I’m not sure what the order would be but in any ranking of shallow, know-nothing politicians, Palin and Bush would take the top two spots.
And in any ranking of hypocritical politicians, Jeb Bush would be tied for top spot along with most members of Congress – Democrat and Republican.

I thought this somewhat entertaining and a great insight into the mind of the Palinistas. .
.
Noteworthy is the reason Geller gives for Palin quitting her governorship of Alaska. In the wingnut’s demented mind, it’s not quitting, it’s stepping down “to lead the revolution in the lower 48.” Really?
As amusing are some of the comments at Gateway Pundit where they felt that Geller “destroyed” Reagan.
Difficult to believe that this guy is Ronald Reagan’s son – what a disgrace.
Mrs Geller, you are fantastic and thank you for standing up for Sarah. The lefties are getting very nasty and a this is good, because it will help Sarah Palin even more.
Pamela’s point about the attacks on Palin only galvanizing the conservative base was spot on!
Geller got the worst of that deal. Of course she was rational, reasonable and persuasive but she was shouted down by a pack of ignorant swine. The supercillious smirk was never smacked off Ron Reagan’s face.
And on and on. But I did come across one interesting and lucid comment by a true Tea Partier. It would be a mistake to believe that all teabaggers are ignorant and racist. While the movement has no doubt been hijacked by the crazies, there does exist a core of true believers with long held convictions that speak of their Libertarian beliefs.
Although a good defensive position against “Palin quitting”, I found the “reason” Geller provided disturbing because it reeks of opportunist revisionism being used on behalf of Palin. Once revisionism creeps in to the “record” it is obvious that corruption is afloat.
I am very wary of designating Palin as having “sacrificed” her title in order to be the “leader of the revolution” in the lower 48.
I was Palin’s staunchest defender while the media slaughtered her and her children. And I wished her all the best when she resigned her governorship, attacking those who asserted Palin’s political suicide. I hoped that she would take her “sabbatical” to earnestly seek scholarly knowledge that I and responsible citizens DO demand from our national leaders. And though her latest convention speech was a crowd-pleaser, really, it broke absolutely NO NEW GROUND and could have been given any time since Reagan’s administration. I read a critique that stuck home yesterday that summarized Palin’s address as strictly neo-conservative, and failing to address the heart of the matter that actually sparked the spontaneous Tea Party Revolution which until now, was not defined by Palin–but since her speech will forever be presented as Palin by the media. Essentially, Palin hijacked the Tea Party.
Sadly, Palin has sold out. And regarding the fruits from her “sabbatical leave” she did not fair well in her interview with Chris Wallace where she had the golden opportunity to make lucid her depth of knowledge, having taken so many months “off” to supposedly garner intellectual growth. And I am sorry that she is participating in the “dumbing down of America” by selling career politicians like McCain and Perry to the Tea Party public, and ignoring the essential points that motivated the authentic grass roots movement against the growing encroachment of government against our Constitutional Liberty in life.
I don’t for a second believe that the Tea Party phenomena could ever be referred to as an “authentic grass roots movement.” From the outset it was astroturfed by right-wing organizations like FreedomWorks and promoted heavily by Fox News. That said, I also believe that the movement has attracted many who are sincerely concerned about government and its role in people’s lives. While you may disagree with their basic political and philosophical premise, teabaggers of the sort I quote above, do lend a degree of credence to the movement.
The problem is that their numbers have been overwhelmed by uninformed dimwits, bigots, radicals and opportunists of the Sarah Palin type who see the Tea Party movement as either a vehicle to vent their hate or as a means of personal gain. It is those we hear loudest above the rancorous din of protersters and it is those who now lay claim to the movement.

Mark Halperin lists the reasons why he believes there will never be a President Palin.
One is that Republican elites behind her back think she’d be horrible for the party. Two is, she’s not appealing to anybody but a narrow slice of American life and she’s heading more and more in that direction based on her rhetoric.
And finally and I think it’s best for the country. She has no ideas. She stands for nothing specific. To go into an event like that [Tea Party Convention] with the opportunity to say “I hear you disaffected Democrats” and here’s where we need to go. Great opportunity—she wasn’t woken up and kidnapped and flown to this event.
It’s been on her schedule for a long time. To come in so ill prepared for both the event and the interview with no ideas I think forfeits any claim on being a credible national leader right now.
I’m more convinced than ever that Palin has no intention of running for the presidency. Why should she? She’s bringing in the big money by simply reading her scripted speech of talking points off the palm of her hands and giving her expert idiotic analysis on Fox to an equally idiotic audience. Why would she bother with a job where her yearly salary would be the equivalent to what she makes now for three speaking engagements?
No, Palin is going to milk this thing until the last remaining fool realizes her to be the vacuous bore she is.

The right-wing kooks are bending over backwards to defend Sarah Palin’s crib note expose. The three stooges on Fox and Friends had this lovely little dialogue.
CARLSON: I think she did it on purpose.
DOOCY: You do?
CARLSON: I think she did it on purpose. Yeah, because I think it’s an exact opposite of reading off the teleprompter. Reading off complete script written for you with every word in a sentence, and here she’s just taking crib notes on her hand. It makes it look as if she can just talk off the cuff and that she just jotted down a few couple notes before she went off to give a big, long speech.
KILMEADE: I am jealous.
DOOCY: I think she did — I think she did it because she probably does it a lot. I do that all the time.
KILMEADE: I personally am jealous, because I used to get in trouble if I wrote on my palms because my mom explained to me the ink would get through my pores and I would die. So I stopped doing that in the fifth grade.
DOOCY: Really?
KILMEADE: Why doesn’t she just — there’s nothing wrong with if she had a card. Just jot a card down — energy, taxes, hope, whatever it is. But — then no one has a problem. But to sit there and look at — do the interview and then look down at her hand, I think that is — it’s, like you said, Gretchen, before, folksy, absolutely. Down to earth. I can identify. But if you’re going to write it on your hand, why not just say, staffer, can you hand me a card? And then it would have been OK.
CARLSON: Like I say, I think it was on purpose. But anyway, we may never know.
While another Palin apologist notes…
“…like other busy moms, she sometimes writes notes on her hand.”
Really, how does anyone take these people seriously?

This is hilarious. If you missed it, Sarah Palin wrote crib notes on her hand for her $100,000 Tea Party speech and the interview she gave after. Apparently, remembering her own deep held convictions talking points requires a little help.
.

And here she is referring to her cheat sheet.
.

Can Palin be any more pathetic? And remember, she has not ruled out a run at the presidency in 2012. How much fun would that be? I can’t wait!
