Sarah Palin the Sound and the Fury
This is a snip from a really interesting 8 pg article in Vanity Fair about Sarah Palin behind the scenes.

"....The intensity of Palin’s temper was first described to me in such extreme terms that I couldn’t help but wonder if it might be exaggerated, until I heard corroborating tales of outbursts dating back to her days as mayor of Wasilla and before. One friend of the Palins’ remembers an argument between Sarah and Todd: “They took all the canned goods out of the pantry, then proceeded to throw them at each other. By the time they got done, the stainless-steel fridge looked like it had got shot up with a shotgun. Todd said, ‘I don’t know why I even waste my time trying to get nice things for you if you’re just going to ruin them.’ ” This friend adds, “As soon as she enters her property and the door closes, even the insects in that house cringe. She has a horrible temper, but she has gotten away with it because she is a pretty woman.” (The friend elaborated on this last point: “Once, while Sarah was preparing for a city-council meeting, she said, ‘I’m gonna put on one of my push-up bras so I can get what I want tonight.’ That’s how she rolls.”) When Palin was mayor, she made life for one low-level municipal employee so miserable that the woman quit her job, sought psychiatric counseling, and then left the state altogether to escape Palin’s sphere of influence—this according to one person with firsthand knowledge of the situation. The woman did not want to be found. When I finally tracked her down, her husband, who answered the phone, at first pretended that I had dialed the wrong number and that the word “Wasilla” had no meaning to him. Palin’s former personal assistants all refused to comment on the record for this story, some citing a fear of reprisal. Others who have worked with Palin recall that, when she feels threatened, she does not hesitate to wield some version of a signature threat: “I have the power to ruin you.”...."

1. I guess that is the beauty of having already been smeared.
Nobody can ruin you.

Things can only get better.

2. An insider needs to get some video of Palin's tantrums.
Difficult to get, maybe, but not impossible if her mood swings are so common. The public needs to see the other side of her.

3. Devastating reporting...
... Too bad the True Believers won't bother to read it. As one of my friends used to say "Even if there was video, I'd still deny it."

4. Irrelevant to me...I needed no other evidence that she is unfit to be dogcatcher.
The sad thing is that there are MILLIONS of dumb ass Americans who vote with their brain turned off and their Bibles in hand who love this intellectually challenged bitch on wheels.

If she runs for POTUS and actually wins, then it really will be the end of America and quite possibly the end of civilization when she fires off nukes ("'cause you can't blink, Charlie")...

6. Nobody is that good lookin'!
Pretty is as pretty does. She's an evil version of Forrest Gump without Sally Fields to set her straight.
