Mother Jones: Sarah Palin, Wall Street Bailout Hypocrite

[marmar]

The GOP jockeying for the chairmanship of the powerful House financial services committee has ignited a nasty fight within House Republican circles. Rep. Spencer Bachus (R-Ala.), as the senior Republican on the panel, is in line for the spot, and Rep. Ed Royce (R-Calif.) is challenging him. This insiders' tussle has drawn Sarah Palin into the fray. Yet in her desire to add Hill powerbroker to her resume, Palin has demonstrated that she is a Wall Street bailout hypocrite.

Palin entered this brawl after Bachus, following the midterm elections, blamed her for the GOP's failure to take over the Senate. Bachus was making a familiar point: because Palin backed tea party candidates in GOP primaries (such as Christine O'Donnell in Delaware) over more conventional and presumably electable Republicans, the GOP screwed up opportunities to win Senate seats ripe for the picking. "Sarah Palin cost us control of the Senate," Bachus groused.

Palin fired back, saying that because Bachus supported "the Bachus bigger government agenda," it was "no wonder he's not thrilled with people like me." She cited Bachus' votes for the Wall Street bailout and the cash-for-clunkers program as proof he was no "commonsense conservative." Palin's attack was widely interpreted as her placing a finger—or fist—on the scale for Royce (who voted against the TARP bailout). It also was a tremendous flip-flop. Palin was for the bank bailout before she was against it. ...............(more)

1. Gotta Stick Her Nose Into Everything...

There's a word I wanted to use here that goes with the attention and sounds like door. Her thin ego just can't resist responding to anything and everything without an iota of knowing what's going on or what she's talking about. I'm sure to her sheeple, they love her "take no prisoners" attitude but almost always it displays more of her ignorance and lack of substance and alienates those inside that corrupt party.

2. she's pure-D white trash. All the fashion in the world can't cover that up

She knows about putting lipstick on a pig -- she's been doing it every morning since she was a kid.

I wouldn't use the *door* word on her. My personal favorite for her and her spawn is a four letter word that rhymes with blunt. And I'm one who reserves that word for the worst of them.

Can we shun this sow-on-crack? I'm so sick of this entire family.

3. It's Like Watching A Slow Motion Car Wreck

Eventually her 15 minutes will flame out and so will she. My wife joked that add about 10 years and 20 or so pounds on her and watch her popularity really fade. All substance...a media creature who will lose her novelty and the only question then is how bad she crashes and burns. All amusement on this end.

Also yet another good study of how inept and corrupt the corporate media is as they feed her antics that get fedback to them. She's as they say "easy copy" and as long as that's the case every little thing she tweets or gets near will attract attention. It's scary that she came close to the second highest office in the country but the more people got to know her the more they rejected her. While she didn't cost McCain the election, she sure did have a negative effect on some crucial states (Florida for one) and Bauccus got on her shitlist for speaking the obvious as to how she and her teabagger accolytes cost the GOTB the Senate.

As her ego grows so does her ability to alienate. No need to work on us, we were never there in the first place. She's disconnecting from the money and votes she needs if her ultimate fantasy is to be achieved. It's the political equivelent of a reality show now.

Cheers...
