4. My thought exactly.
When has she ever shown her face in public without having a Macaca moment?

Her entire existence is a Macaca moment.

3. Do we know for sure that George Allen's Macaca Moment was career-ending?
I'm always concerned that they will rebound after these moments.

22. I know, I know...even the worst of the worst say "never say never"
In the short term, the guy's toast. That doesn't mean he couldn't end up on a double bill with Mark Foley in 2012.

:rofl:

:toast:

7. Unless Palin is actively running for office
any Macaca moment will be a non-event. She knows it and that's why she'll not announce her candidacy for anything until late in the game.

I'm only surmising that most serious political pundits and tacticians see her as an incompetent opportunist who is attempting to capitalize on her new found current fame.

A Tale of Two Babies by Sarah Palin.
(Keep checking back throughout the day for updates.)

“It was the best of times; it was the worst of times…”

For Sarah Palin back in March of 2008, this was especially true.

She was right in the middle of trying to convince the people of Alaska that, despite all appearances, she was indeed pregnant with her fifth child, after surprising even her own staff with the news on March 6th. (Though at first she did not seem to put a lot of effort into convincing people as you can see from this photograph taken on March 29th, at the Spouses’ Luncheon. This is a scant twenty short days prior to Trig's "birth." You will notice that she's wearing what appears to be a raincoat inside of her own house. And there's nothing under those hands but a black scarf.)

Obviously as she got closer to her due date she would have to put a little more effort into the deception. Perhaps a little padding would help.

There, that's much better. (The above picture was taken at the end of the legislative session in Juneau, on April 13, five days before Sarah supposedly gave birth, and only fifteen days after the picture from the Spouses' Luncheon was taken.)

The next twist in our storyline was Sarah's trip to give a speech at the Republican Governor's conference in Texas on April 18th. What really happened there? No one knows. But what is known for certain is that Sarah left the conference abruptly in the early afternoon of April 17th and came back to Alaska, a ten plus hour trip involving two four hour flights and a layover in Seattle. (Not only did this decision seem abrupt, but even Sarah’s security staff was not contacted and did not know she was arriving to have a baby until after the birth.)What is also known for certain is that no one has ever come forward to say that they noticed anything special or different about the Gov during this trip. In fact, she was seen reading a book in the lounge during the layover in Seattle.

Whatever the truth, by noon on April 18th the Governor's office had announced that at approximately 6:30 that morning Sarah Palin had given birth to a son.

14. The media loves her. They will hide any "macaca moment", especially during her
campaign. She survived all that stupidity in 2008 and the media and republican base still loves her.

15. It's like the wife of the cheating politician
It is like the loyal Toyota owner. It is like the bu$h supporter. It's like a FOX news channel viewer.

They will stand by their failure through anything.

17. Failin is just scraping by with the nutball fringe as it is now.



The MSM is just focusing on her because of her eccentricities. Her 15 minutes will be over soon.

21. There Is No Stopping Her "Career" Until She No Longer Gets Ratings Or Sells Papers
The media loves her BECAUSE of her penchant for stupid gaffes: they have an audience on both the left and the right for her bullshit. There is absolutely nothing she could say to end her "career", because her "career" is being a walking, talking train wreck.

The only way Sarah Palin goes away is if it's made clear that America is bored with her. Judging by the number of posts about her on DU daily, that's not happening any time soon.

23. I would hate to see Sarah Palin succeed in her quest for the White House.
I have a great deal of difficulty conceptualizing morons as public servants.

I don't care if she sells books or gives lectures. I don't have to buy the books or attend the lectures.

But were she to succeed at becoming president I would have to live in Sarah Palin's America, which would include her own brainless declarations and policies as well as the shadowy and monstrous people who would be attracted to her her candidacy and who would likely wind up in her Cabinet.

Also her husband is an automatonic droid.

24. I'm not sure what Sarah Palin's career is
If she actually does plan to run for office again, I think she has already had plenty of Macaca moments that should have ended her career a long time ago. She has said the craziest damn things so many times, but her followers seems to keep following and the media seems to keep thinking she is a big story to follow.

If her career is to be a kind of political celebrity who makes appearances and says crazy things to people who will listen to her, I think she can keep doing that until everyone just gets board with the story and Macaca moments will not matter much except to get her in the news again.

27. Her career ending moment happened like so many other washed-up Republicans...
...she was hired as a FOX commentator. That's what happens with has-been assholes like her and Santorum.
