Sarah Palin reminds me of a flighty girl flitting about in search of her one true love.

[Writer]

She's in constant search for admiration:

As a teenager, Palin did beauty pageants, and after several colleges, she finally earned a degree in journalism and started a career as a sports reporter. Afterward, she began her journey into politics, finally getting elected as the governor of Alaska. This lead her to further pursuits for admiration as McCain's running mate. After losing that bid, and getting into a petty and libelous spat with David Letterman, she quit as governor, afterward seeking speaking gigs and finishing a ghost-written auto-biography that lead to a book-signing tour with its own specially-painted tour bus. And yet, that still wasn't good enough for Lady Sarah. Now she's back to garnering television time, working as Fox's latest news entertainer.

And all of this with very few real, tangible accomplishments.

Sarah Palin is our nation's very first political celebrity who became famous for being famous.

1. She reminds me of an Amway, Mary Kay, or Blue Green Algae salesperson

2. She reminds me of Rhoda Penmark and Suzanne Stone Maretto

Maybe she'll meet the same end as Suzanne... :P

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

3. She reminds me of a brain stem attached directly to a mouth. n/t

4. She reminds me of a woman all women have worked with

and have learned to despise with every fiber of their being.

She's the office bitch who gets ahead by schmoozing and networking and stabbing everybody else in the back and then finds herself incapable of doing any part of the job, throws it back on the people she stepped on, and hates them for it, trying to sabotage them every way she can.

It's why her numbers are so dismal among working women. We know who she is, we've met her sisters.

5. Yep. Perfect.

My wife worked in offices for twenty years. She can't stand Palin for PRECISELY the reasons you list.

[tavalon]

6. Oh, yes, we do

Pegged. Perfectly.

[jmondine]

7. Wow! Can I share this with everyone I know?

With attribution, of course.

[Warpy]

9. I don't care if you blame me for it or not

but do spread it around.

[tavalon]

8. Could you please post this as an original post

with bleeping of the B word, so that the politically correct don't get their panties in a wad?

[Warpy]

10. Sorry, Luv, sometimes there is simply no other word

but I do use it very sparingly.

[tavalon]

20. Oh, I wholeheartedly agree!

I just know that many a spot on post has been sabotaged by outraged, um, people. You know, the politically correct posse.

[Iggo]

18. "...panties in a wad..." is it?

Why, I oughta...

[tavalon]

21. Jock strap in a twist?

}( :hi:

[HipChick]

11. Amen sister...I've come across many a Sarah Palin's in my life..

[malaise]

12. Freaking perfect

:applause:

[ProfessorGAC]

14. Great Perspective!

It was a good read!

The only thing i'd add is that we've all seen men do the same things, too. I don't think that behavior is gender specific. Know-nothing jerks are know-nothing jerks.

22. Yes, but woman do it in their own special, extra vicious way

And as a woman who grew up in the south, no one, and I do mean no one does it like a southerner (well, except for Sarah).

[ProfessorGAC]

25. Well, You Got Me

I'm a guy, so what do i know. I'm just saying, guys can do the same backstappping crap that women do.

Like i said, being a jerk is not gender specific.

27. A proper Southern woman smiles to your face while stabbing you in the back. n/t

[Hoosier]

15. I'd like to agree...but...

I believe that well over 50% of the women I work with (all with at least bachelor's degrees ... many with 10-20 yrs in the work force) simply adore Sister Sarah. Either they went to her infamous book signing in Noblesville IN or wished they could've gone. They are totally excited that she'll be on Fox.
They love her.

Yes, they're nuts. But they're educated, working women (age 30-60+).

23. Perfect description.

:thumbsup:

28. Narcissists don't actually relate to anyone. What they do is manipulate

and that's as close they get to relating. They don't know the difference between a relationship and a scam.

[spanone]

13. she is her one true love

[Homer Wells]
