Sarah Palin to the little people who anger her: 'I have the power to destroy you.'

[BurtWorm]

According to Vanity Fair:

http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2010/10/sarah-palin-201010?currentPage=all

...

Palin does not always treat those ordinary people well, however—it depends on who is watching. Of the many famous people who have stayed at the Hyatt in Wichita (Cher, Reba McEntire, Neil Young), Sarah Palin ranks as the all-time worst tipper: $5 for seven bags. But the bellhops had it good in Kansas, compared with the bellman at another midwestern hotel who waited up until past midnight for Palin and her entourage to check in—and then got no tip at all for 10 bags. He was stiffed again at checkout time. The same went for the maids who cleaned Palin’s rooms in both places—no tip whatsoever. The only time I heard of Palin giving a generous tip was in St. Joseph, Michigan, after the owner of Kilwin’s chocolate shop, on State Street, sent a CARE package to Palin’s suite, and Palin walked to the store to say thank you. She also wanted to buy more boxes of candy to take home. When the owner would not accept her money, Palin, encircled by the crowd that had jammed the store to get a glimpse of her, pressed a hundred-dollar bill into the woman’s hand, saying, “This is for the staff.” That Ben Franklin was the talk of State Street the whole rest of the day.

Warm and effusive in public, indifferent or angry in private: this is the pattern of Palin’s behavior toward the people who make her life possible. A onetime gubernatorial aide to Palin says, “The people who have worked for her—they’re broken, used, stepped on, down in the dust.” On the 2008 campaign trail, one close aide recalls, it was practically impossible to persuade Palin to take a moment to thank the kitchen workers at fund-raising dinners. During the campaign, Palin lashed out at the slightest provocation, sometimes screaming at staff members and throwing objects. Witnessing such behavior, one aide asked Todd Palin if it was typical of his wife. He answered, “You just got to let her go through it… Half the stuff that comes out of her mouth she doesn’t even mean.” When a campaign aide gingerly asked Todd whether Sarah should consider taking psychiatric medication to control her moods, Todd responded that she “just needed to run and work out more.” Her anger kept boiling over, however, and eventually the fits of rage came every day. Then, just as suddenly, her temper would be gone. Palin would apologize and promise to be nicer. Within hours, she would be screaming again. At the end of one long day, when Palin was mid-tirade, a campaign aide remembers thinking, “You were an angel all night. Now you’re a devil. Where did this come from?”

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.”

[Dogmudgeon]

1. Every bad cliche about women ...

... Palin took them all as a how-to guide.

I feel a little sorry for "Tawd" -- and a lot for the kids. And some, for Sarah. That's not a particularly pleasant way spend one's life.

--d!

[Nikki Stone1]

22. The uncontrollable explosive temper sounds more like a male thing

As does her desire to ruin people.

I think she's really a guy in drag. :D

[Glimmer of Hope]

40. I think she is just an asshole.

[peekaloo]

52. a bi-polar (Grizzly) Bear?

:P

[Enthusiast]

88. That's it! nt

[yella_dawg]

58. Wow!

You got the sexist pig thing down pat, don'cha.

[anachro1]

35. As a dear friend of mine used to say:

"It's an ugly little life; just be thankful that YOU don't have to live it."

[niceypoo]

62. Republicans embrace everything that is wrong and bad

Palin is no exception

[lumberjack_jeff]

64. self delete

too easily misunderstood

[joeybee12]

2. Is she manic-depressive?

Or just a b**ch?

[GreenPartyVoter]

6. Makes you wonder, doesn't it? I wondered about ** as well.

[lunatica]

20. You don't know any manic depressives do you?

Temper is not a problem with manic depression. Extremes of depression and hyper activity are. Please read up on mental illness and try not to compare it to being bitchy.

[havbrush]

30. Manic depressive

I was married to a manic depressive and frightening displays of temper is part of the reason I am divorced. Bi-polar is the term used nowadays.

[BonnieJW]

86. Not necessarily so.

Some manics express their hyperactivity as anger.

[tpsbmam]

90. She could well be bipolar II

The symptoms described in the article are very much characteristic of bipolar II disorder.

[quakerboy]

93. I call BS.

Last time I saw a manic depressive Bipolar person, she was trying to bite her daughter and screaming that she was a bitch and had ruined her life. Temper is a huge problem with 2 out of the 4 Bipolar people I personally know. And the other 2 have been heavily medicated the entirety of our acquaintance, and seem to be pretty consistantly depressive.

[TheMuse]

3. This is why no matter what I have to fight for the Democrats

When presented with my choice, even though the Democrats sometimes let me down, there is no way in the world I can allow myself to stand by and watch someone like Palin gain higher office. I will campaign, I will vote, and I will hold my nose through it all.

That woman scares the bejesus out of me.

[tallahasseedem]

10. I completely agree...

ANYTHING to keep her away from public office is the way to go.

[one_voice]

17. +1000...

I completely agree!

[GTurck]

55. Here, here...

I am an active local Democrat but the national party is something else and still I would rather vote for a Democrat than any of the current Repubs. I am very afraid that those who voted in '06 and '08 will sit on their hands because of the negative things they are hearing and seeing. But not to vote for a Democrat is to vote by proxy for a Repub. That would be obscene.:dem: :dem: :dem:

[uponit7771]

80. +1

[Touchdown]

4. That is bi- polar defined.

She is in need of psychiatric care... And LOTS of Lamictal.

[lunatica]

21. bi-polar is not controllable like her manners evidently are

If she can turn her charm on and off at will, that has nothing to do with manic depression. You are insulting mentally ill people by making that sweeping assumption. There may be something wrong with her but it isn't manic depression. It's most likely an extreme version of entitlement and lack of self examination in the context of relating. She's more of a sociopath who feels great love for herself and great indifference for others.

[mrs_p]

23. perhaps personality disorder then?

i really do think that she has some kind of mental illness - i don't know what to call it, but it certainly is some sort of mental disease (and i'm not being sarcastic).

[lunatica]

24. If being a sociopath is considered a mental illness, then yes

But from what I gather Sociopathy isn't curable or considered a disease. It's barely understood except for the obvious behavior. Bush and Cheney and Rumsfeld and many others are examples of people who don't care about others. They work together, but not out of love or respect for each other. It's out of knowing they can get more of what they want personally, if they combine their effort with others of like mind. What they want is usually as much power over others as they can get. Sarah is a perfect example. There is nothing she will do if she finds it gets in her way. That's why she quit being Governor of Alaska. It was in the way of her new found goals. Once she got a taste of the national political scene Alaska must have seemed like a major drag on her ambitions.

[barbtries]

61. i vote for personality disorder

probably narcissistic. i have no professional standing for making that diagnosis but stand by it nonetheless.

[BDavinciNY]

89. Palin is the textbook definition of a narcissist

She love the attention on her, she loves the praise about her. She liked it when she was a beauty queen. Once you expose her flaws, she will hate you so much that she can and will destroy you. Yet she loves the attention whether positive or negative regardless of the situation. (See the David Letterman incident) All narcissists will to anything and everything to be adequate. According to the Wikipedia article on narcissistic personality disorder, SP is probably a compensatory narcissist meaning she wants all this attention on herself to compensate for all her shortcomings. She will make up great stories and sell herself as something great. At the same time she will destroy anyone who will block her. In all honesty the RW morons would love her as POTUS but SP won't go that route. She gave up the Alaska Governorship because at first it was nice thing for her to get all the attention, but she quit because she didn't all the negative attention on her inept ability to run a state. Once she was on the national spotlight and loved it she wanted that and left Alaska in the dust. If she was POTUS the tons and tons of negative criticisms on Palin would tremendous and she can't handle it unlike Obama and other Republican collegiate (Mark "Argentina" Sanford, "P'o lil' Bobby" Jindal,Arnold Schwarzenegger et al.) Palin will quit the first day in office. The woman may look pretty on the outside but very rancid and ugly on the inside

:think: :kick:

PS: How can Todd put up with her being like that? I would not put with a woman like her!

[barbtries]

94. i'd say todd has his own issues

they feed each other somehow.

[niceypoo]

63. She is just a bitch, period

No use trying to categorize it

[dgibby]

92. I'd vote for Narcissistic Personality Disorder. n/t

[Touchdown]

25. You insulting me, claiming that I am making sweeping assumptions.

I have BPD, Type 2. And a short fuse is one of my symptoms. The other is self appointed protectors of the downtrodden without any psychiatric educational credentials who condescend to tell me all about what I am.

So eat shit. Is that BP enough for you?

[lunatica]

27. I have relatives who are bi-polar

And I apologize, but I certainly won't eat your shit thank you. You're the example that shows bi-polarity not being controllable. Palin is not bi-polar. She's a sociopath.

[Touchdown]

49. You really shouldn't worry about it too much.

We're not fragile, and Bi-Polar is not an excuse. I should not have told you that, and having BP does not absolve me of the insult. I said it to make a point, but I'm not sure what point it was now.

Anyhow, regardless of our brain chemistry, we should be responsible for our own behavior. We are responsible for recognizing our triggers, being aware of our feelings and emotions and try to keep them in check, and to take our meds regularly. This is done with regular therapy. Being BP should not give anybody license to be an asshole, it's just that it happens sometimes. With an estimated 35% of humans that suffer from some kind of brain chemistry affliction, there is bound to me millions out there who are undiagnosed.

The tragic thing is that many don't get the help they need because of histrionic crusaders like Sarah Palin telling us we don't want Universal Health care, and make damn sure we never get it.

Also BPD runs the gamut. There are nice people who have it and jerks too. Despite having BP, some people are just hopeless. And it's not mutually exclusive with pathologies. Sociopaths, narcissists, megalomaniacs and authoritarians can also have BPD. BPD is a chemical imbalance of the brain. Sociopaths have a pathology. BPD can be helped with medications. Very few Narcissists ever change their behavior, through drugs or otherwise. Not even prison.

[Mimosa]

59. Palin's a major narcissicist

Acquisitive, petty, ambitious, conceited...but not mentally ill.

[peace frog]

85. ..and a miserable bitch into the bargain

I pity her children and anyone who must bow and scrape before her almighty majesty. **spit**

[lumberjack_jeff]

65. It's learned behavior

You can't turn bipolar on an off.

Like the push-up bra, she does it because it works.

[FirstTimeVoterAt37]

5. Sweet baby Jeezus

Dirty confession time... This is one flap-of-the-month I'm almost looking forward to seeing play out.

:popcorn:

[HughBeaumont]

7. Speaker Boehner. President Palin.

Yap all you want that threats like these just gives corproDems the excuse to be more right-leaning and corporate sucking ("I'm the only caterer in town!") . . . but SERIOUSLY. Do we really WANT this? All it's going to take is ONE more . . . ONE more Repuke admin and it's so long, goodnight Irene, over and OUT for this country.

We aren't getting a President Kucinich. Sad. Unfortunate. Shameful. But Still Not Happening.

[Count Olaf]

8. Sarah Palin for 8 years, Cheney(dick or Liz) as VP

we hit syria, iran and whoever else is in our way(or has valuable resources)...

[BurtWorm]

11. Palin sounds like she'd turn the military loose on her enemies back in Wasilla!

:patriot:

Welcome to DU, by the way.

:toast:

[uncommon]

12. Dick will be dead before the next Presidential election.

[prolesunited]

13. Yep, that's why we're seeing more and more of Liz

[Tutankhamun]

28. I think he's already dead. I think the latest story of that new rotating heart valve

contraption is just a cover-up. My theory is that he died and has somehow been re-animated and is now undead -- a zombie of some sort. The rotating heart valve story was concocted to explain why he has no pulse.

[krabigirl]

9. Speaking as someone with a bit of a temper, she needs to get help. She sounds unhinged.

[KamaAina]

14. Here's her new campaign song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMAGwMAXTpU

[Ramulux]

15. This should be a huge story

What I just dont understand is why the mainstream press pretends like Sarah Palin is some legitimate political figure. Obviously she has a lot of influence within the republican party I am not going to deny that, but she is a horrible human being. It the same thing with Glenn Beck, the dude has said more inflammatory insane remarks over the past year than anyone else in the media, but they still pretend like he is a legitimate reasonable figure who just has strong opinions. Sarah Palin is the same, she has buried herself with absolutely retarded comments over and over again, but no one ever addresses them.

It scares the shit out of me, because basically there is nothing they can do to make the media acknowledge that these people are mentally unstable, they have already proven it multiple times with little to no push-back from anyone. When Glenn Beck says he thinks the president is a racist his career should be over and everyone in the media should should jump on it immediately. When Sarah Palin says she supports a woman who said the n-word many times for obviously racial reasons, she should be done, the media should do their job and make her explain that indefensible position. They are crazy people and no one seems to fucking care. God I hate the media in this country.

[BurtWorm]

18. This is the part that should be emphasized: Follow Palin's money!

From the Vanity Fair piece linked to in the OP:


Palin’s belief that evil surrounds her may account for the secretive nature of her business arrangements. SarahPAC staffers and contractors have made what seem like concerted efforts to disclose an absolute minimum of information. Palin’s tours around the country are supported by a network of organizations that are not always what they claim to be. The Winning America Back conference was organized by a Missouri political-action committee called Preserving American Liberty (PAL-PAC). The group’s Web site states that “Members of Preserving American Liberty are from the Kansas City metropolitan area and are all unpaid volunteers who want to make a positive difference in the community.” Yet when I asked local politicians (including state representatives, a Senate candidate, and a congressional candidate) and local journalists about who had organized the event, I found that they knew nothing about the sponsors—“maybe because they’re Tea Partiers,” one reporter guessed, “and they’re all new to politics.”

PAL-PAC seems to have been created for a single purpose: to pay Sarah Palin to give a speech. PAL-PAC announced the Palin event at the same time that it announced its own formation. After the Palin event was over, most of the information on PAL-PAC’s Web site disappeared. In effect, PAL-PAC was a disposable entertainment company, set up to put on a one-day show that collected the contact information of thousands of people who came to see Palin in the flesh, and to give her their money. The organization has not been mentioned again anywhere online or in local newspapers. The group’s financial statements are curious. PAL-PAC was registered in Missouri last November; as of April 15, 2010, when it made its second quarterly disclosure report to the Missouri Ethics Commission, two weeks before Palin arrived in Independence, PAL-PAC had only $3,202 in the bank. This was not nearly enough money to reserve the venue, much less cover security, printing, advertising, or any of the other expenses associated with throwing an event for 4,000 people. PAL-PAC’s third disclosure report, filed on July 14, reveals large payments to Wayne Graves, a Kansas City physician, whose wife, Karladine, also a doctor, is the president of PAL-PAC. Wayne Graves performed a key service for Winning America Back: he personally paid the speakers’ fees and travel expenses. On June 23, according to the report, he was reimbursed for these outlays: $15,134.83 for “Reimburse Speak,” and $126,000, also for “Reimburse Speak.” By fronting the money for these expenses, Graves made it possible for PAL-PAC to keep details such as Palin’s precise fee under wraps. But the lion’s share of that $126,000, it seems safe to assume, went to Palin—that would tally with verified reports of what Palin has been paid elsewhere. When reached by phone, Karladine Graves refused to answer any questions about PAL-PAC: “I’m—we’re just a tiny little group, and we’re not really anything, I just, oh, no, I can’t talk about this.” (Palin is on track to earn well over $3 million in speaking fees for events this year. Washington Speakers Bureau did not respond to an interview request.)

Other stops on Palin’s road show raise questions similar to those surrounding Winning America Back. Palin spoke to a group in Dallas that claimed to be a 501(c)(3) nonprofit group but is not registered as one. That event was advertised as a fund-raiser for the Uptown Women’s Center, whose eponymous U.R.L. redirected visitors to a Web site selling tickets for the event, palin4life.com, which has since disappeared. In June, Palin was scheduled to go to Charlotte, North Carolina, for two events, a $300-per-ticket “Evening with Sarah Palin” and the free “Complete Woman Expo 2010.” Both were sponsored by a newly formed organization, the Blue Ridge Educational Resource Group. Like PAL-PAC, the Blue Ridge group had sprung up from nowhere, and also like PAL-PAC, it somehow landed one of the country’s most-sought-after female speakers to headline its very first event. Local officials eventually expressed skepticism that Blue Ridge was competent to manage the logistics for an expected crowd of 30,000, and at the last minute both events were canceled. The Blue Ridge group’s Web site, like PAL-PAC’s, was reduced to a shell.

Timothy Crawford, the treasurer of Sarah-PAC, presumably has some responsibility for the byzantine structures undergirding Palin’s travels. Before joining Palin, Crawford was the interim finance director of the Republican National Committee. He is currently being investigated by the Ohio secretary of state for his role in Let Ohio Vote, a state-referendum campaign bankrolled in its entirety by New Models, a Virginia organization Crawford owns, which calls itself a nonprofit. Earlier this year, he refused to respond to a subpoena—issued under state laws that prohibit concealment of campaign money—that sought to discover where New Models had gotten the $1.6 million to fund Let Ohio Vote. Ohio secretary of state Jennifer Brunner has called New Models “a ‘straw-person’ out of state corporation.” Also, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, New Models “was behind controversial automated calls to Pennsylvania voters made during the 2008 presidential election. The calls told voters that Barack Obama’s aunt was living in America illegally and that he accepted campaign contributions from his ‘illegal alien aunt.’ ”

56. The author of the piece was on CNN this morning, they asked him

about all the salacious stuff, but didn't bring this up at all. I agree that this is the part of the story that deserves deeper investigation. Those PACs seem like money laundering operations to me.

[Karenina]

19. NOTHING will change the tragic trajectory of America

until AMERICANS of good conscience and faith in the ideals set forth in the Constitution TAKE BACK THEIR AIRWAVES, which when I was a child growing up there, BELONGED TO THEM. They no longer do. Rwanda is the current model. It seems NO ONE is able to hold M$M accountable. I check out MSNBC's "watch the headlines" and am APPALLED. :puke: "Hi, everybody, here are your 3 top headlines..." Then comes a bear falling out of a tree. Americans are like mushrooms. Kept in the dark and fed dung.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

16. "Her knack for remembering names and faces and the details of her interactions with people—and

for seeming to be present to the person in front of her—constitute an extraordinary power of engagement."

Oh just fucking great. It's Dim Som all over agsain (but even dumber).

[KatyaR]

31. Doctor, my Doctor!

The Doctor would zap S'Error with his sonic screwdriver and send her into another galaxy...he don't put up with no crap!!!

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

34. Too bad republicans weren't part of the Time War...... I kid I kid. nt

[BurtWorm]

26. Unnamed Palin kid to (praying) Mom in 2008: 'You’re just putting on a show. You’re so fake.'

Sometimes the children rebelled. A campaign aide remembers that one of the Palin children found her mother’s public displays of piety especially grating. Though Palin prayed and read the Bible every night, aides never saw the family join her for devotionals. “You’re just putting on a show. You’re so fake,” one of the children said when Palin made a point of praying in front of other people. “This is not who you are. Why are you pretending to be something you’re not?”

[CoffeeCat]

42. The neocons have to string along the Evangelicals....

...and they know that Sarah Palin appeals to the Christian Right.

They're bankrolling her. They know she's an idiot. They know that she doesn't
know Putin's head from a pork chop. But she gets the Republicans to the polls.

They'll never allow her to ascend to the Presidency or the Vice Presidency. However,
they will pay handsomely for her to give speeches, most of which contain deplorable
stupid, easily refutable lies about Obama that will rile up the crazy Republican base.

They'll use her to help win elections, but they'll never let her have any power because
they know she's batshit crazy and dumber than a stick.

[Beartracks]

29. Weird. What was her childhood like? n/t

[The Wizard]

32. She's the face and voice

of a party of crackpots.

[barbtries]

36. Todd should just give

the bitch a lobotomy.

[KansDem]

37. Palin was in Wichita?

I wondered what that foul odor was wafting up from southeast Kansas. I thought that coal-fired power plant nobody wanted finally got built in Holcomb...

[Cheap_Trick]

79. The day she was here

I posted on Facebook as my status.."What's that smell? Oh, never mind. Palin is in Wichita."

Mooselini couldn't even fill the lower section of Intrust Arena in a red state.

[RainDog]

38. T O X I C

"That's how she rolls."

[Jade Fox]

39. $20,000.00 for cloths for Todd!!!!

That's how much Palin bilked the GOP during the election just to clothe her husband.

Isn't she on record as denying the whole clothing-gate scandal? She defines the word 'grifter'.

[Anakin Skywalker]

41. Palin only turns on the charm when there are crowds and/or cameras around

That's a "beauty queen" m.o. for ya!

[Cleita]

45. She has charm?

All I ever saw from the beginning was an ego driven moron with a very annoying voice.

[NewJeffCT]

68. she makes Republican men swoon, though

Wasn't there one writer who seemed to almost be typing with one hand as he wrote his op-ed piece (something about how his heart jumped when she was winking during the debate...)

[Cleita]

74. Goes to show how pathetic the pickings are among

Republican women. I mean would your heart go pitter patter over Carly Fiorini, NutMeg Whitman or Jan Brewer?

[NewJeffCT]

76. Palin is different than Whitman, Fiorina & Brewer, though

While her politics are awful and she has an evil soul, she is a physically attractive woman in a demonic temptress sort of way. Those debate tracking meters had her scoring much higher among men than she did with women when she was debating Biden... and, I'm sure her appearance helped her popularity in Alaska, which is a state that has a male majority in population.

[BobTheSubgenius]

43. Arrrggghhhh.

Dupe.

[BobTheSubgenius]

44. Is anyone surprised? At all.....even a little?

I thought not.

[HipChick]

46. RAM exposure and the money laundering

[BurtWorm]

50. I hope so.

And I hope it makes them make a lot of stupid mistakes.

[RandomThoughts]

47. I think it is funny when people try to do that.

It requires a perception of the other persons thoughts on what is destruction.


Much of what I have learned has come from people trying to destroy me.

although other things are still owed to me.

just zig zag a bit ;) LOL


A story A story.

You see when you have rezzers, or are saved. Then you can be kicked around over and over, and it has no effect, but those without those things, every once in awhile are helped up, or knocked down and without rezzers or saves, if knocked down they don't get back up.

So it is an attrition thing.

Was going to write a story on that.

[nilram]

48. I'd say it sounds like she's still a 2 year old...but that would be insulting to 2-year olds.

[peekaloo]

51. "even the insects in that house cringe"

:rofl:

[Ganja Ninja]

53. Sounds like a spoiled little rich girl with an overblown sense of entitlement.

Or George W Bush in a skirt.

[Swamp Rat]

54. She's inhuman

as in, not human.

[Mimosa]

57. Hotels ought to pay their help instead of making them depend on tips.

I don't like Palin, so I'm not defending her.

My point is that it costs plenty to stay in good hotels. The hotels ought to pay their help enough instead of counting on customers to supplement the incomes of their help.

[SOS]

60. A fond wish: Palin snaps in public

Just one nasty meltdown to end this travesty.

66. Frank Zappa - Broken hearts are for assholes

Hey! Do you know what you are?
You're an asshole! An ASSHOLE!

Some of you might not agree
'Cause you probably likes a lot of misery
But think a while and you will see...
Broken hearts are for assholes
Broken hearts are for assholes
Are you an asshole?
Broken hearts are for assholes
Are you an asshole too?
Whatcha gonna do, 'cause you're an asshole...

Maybe you think you're a lonely guy
Maybe you think you're too tough to cry
So you went to The Grape,
Just to give it a try

Without a doubt, the ugliest sonofabitch I ever saw in my life
Was his name...

And yet he was a beautiful lady
Nearly drove you insane
Let's talk about Leather: LEATHERRRRRR
And so you kissed a little sailor

I'm gonna ram it, ram it, ram it
Ram it up yer poop chute
Corn hole
Ram it, ram it, ram it
Ram it up yer poop chute
Fist fuck
Ram it, ram it, ram it
Ram it up yer poop chute
Wrist-watch; Crisco
Ram it, ram it, ram it
Ram it up yer poop chute
Pud!

Don't fool yerself, girl
It's goin' right up yer poop chute
Don't fool yerself, girl
It's goin' right up yer poop chute
(etc., repeats)

Aw, I knew you'd be surprised...

67. As the conservative magazine "The Economist" said about Palin

She was brought on to the McCain campaign as "Boob bait for Bubba"

[Moonwalk]

69. Actually, all this would be fine if....

...she was a genius. I'm quite sure we can find some brilliant political minds whose awful personality and temperament can be forgiven as they saved the world. Alas (or thankfully?) the combo is rare. We've got a bitch-tempered, selfish and conniving brat who is also dumb as a post. That's not only a bad combo, it's annoying. All you end up with is a bully, and the last thing anyone should do is reward bullies.

If she wasn't pretty no one would be putting up with this. It's not like she that charming when she's in a good mood.

And, man, does she make me love Obama for all his faults. He would never stiff the bellhop and you know he'll always take time to thank the kitchen staff. I don't even care if he means it or not. I just appreciate that he's smart enough to know it ought to be done.

70. Here's the CNN interview of the author.

71. Hard to say, but either Sarah has "Leona Helmsley Syndrome,"...

...or Leona had "Sarah Palin Syndrome." :shrug:

[Kingofalldems]

72. Someone posted we should like her and attend her fundraisers

Hmmm, who was that? I can't remember.------> :shrug:

[kentuck]

73. K & R

I posted a video on this elsewhere on the page.

75. I thought conservatism was all about class and manners, right?

But instead, its most prominent representatives would rather do "I've got mine, eff everybody else!" Stay classy, Sarah!

The "little people" line reminds me of this lyric from Eminem's "The Real Slim Shady": "I'm sick of you little girl and boy groups, all you do is annoy me / so I have been sent here to destroy you"

77. "Mirror Mirror on the Wall

whose the fairest of them all?" :evilgrin:

78. Speaker Boehner should send her roses when he is sworn in.

And pray that she does not come after him.

[bdamomma]

81. she is one sick beetch.

[uponit7771]

82. "..but she has gotten away with it because she is a pretty woman." Stupid is very ugly

[Plucketeer]

83. I was married to a gal like this!

for 14 years I lived a lie. Making excuses and trying to hide evidence of what I lived with all the time. It was SO DAMNED LIBERATING when I finally got up the nerve to walk away from that relationship!!! She's still miserable, some 30 years later. At least she crashes by herself now. I don't have to ride the right seat of those meltdowns any more. :woohoo:

[Ganja Ninja]

84. Must be a typo.

She probably said "annoy you" not "destroy you".

[missheidi]

87. Why is she worth a Vanity Fair article?

Just lost all respect for the magazine.

[bluesmail]

91. Nazi B*tch. Her and Adolph would have made a perfect couple,

a couple of sociopaths.
