Sarah Palin is an idiot.

[Archae]

To quote Keith Olbermann:
"This woman is an idiot."

Sarah Palin's still pushing hard on her "drill baby drill" mantra hard, especially in terms of the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge, which she can barely wait to open up for drilling and a new pipeline. She went on Greta Van Susteren's show on Thanksgiving Day to criticize "the extreme politicians over on the left who want to buy into those extreme environmentalists who claim that there's no way you can responsibly develop a plot of land that was set aside for oil and gas development" -- particularly President Obama:

SARAH PALIN: Well, Obama needs to get up here. If he has as much time as he has on his hands to take all these vacations, maybe he should vacation in ANWR. At least fly over it, Mr. President, or play -- you know, play golf or do what he does. This is a national security need. This is -- there's that inherent link between security and our own domestic development. I think it's inexcusable that our president won't come up here and look at it.

1. Is there a golf course at ANWR?

Wow. I had no idea.

[jaxx]

2. It's a kindness to just call her an idiot.

Her desperate attempts to engage the President are pathetic.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

20. Or redundant n/t

[PeaceNikki]

3. In other news, "water is wet"

[terrya]

8. Indeed.

I've vowed to myself that I won't waste much time on her from now on...really, time IS short, after all. :-) However, with the latest stuff from her, I'm also struck how much in temperament she reminds of another political figure...how Nixonian she sometimes seems. The resentments towards others who cross her. The mean vindictiveness. That whole thing with "we should help our North Korean allies". How she handled the response to that...really, lashing out at your critics over something like that? Is that what a President Palin would be...her constantly lashing out at criticism towards her?

4. piss off palin

[Pathwalker]

5. Sarah, get over it. Obama's just not that into you.

George and Dick never came to Alaska, why doesn't that bother you,eh?

[nmbluesky]

6. She has a serious problem

she isn't very health obsessed about Obama

[Angry Dragon]

7. He should just nationalize the oil companies

if it such a big national security issue

[ShockediSay]

9. She's more of a sellout to the secret contributors than an idiot IMHO

Why do you think she quit her responsible, accountable public service job as governor?

Was it to cash in on our super millionaires that don't want to fairly bear the financial burden of our nation?

What's her net worth now compared to just before she sold out {err, quit as governor}?

13. Stop equating mental illness with someone you believe to be politically crazy.

Mental illness is not a joke and the truly mentally ill do not deserve to held up to ridicule and called names. I highly doubt that anyone here is qualified to determine if someone is truly mentally ill.

14. If Catkiller Frist can diagnose without seeing the patient, so can we

In the spirit of Catkiller, who said Terri Schiavo was capable of being brought back to consciousness just from watching the Schindlers' heavily edited video, let's look at Palin. I believe she suffers from Narcissistic Personality Disorder, which exhibits the following characteristics:


In many cases, people with narcissistic personality disorder:

Are self-centered and boastful
Seek constant attention and admiration
Consider themselves better than others
Exaggerate their talents and achievements
Believe that they are entitled to special treatment
Are easily hurt but may not show it
Set unrealistic goals
May take advantage of others to achieve their goals
Other common traits of narcissistic personality disorder include the following:

Preoccupation with fantasies that focus on unlimited success, power, intelligence, beauty, or love
Belief that he or she is "special" and unique, and can only be understood by other special people
Expectation that others will automatically go along with what he or she wants
Inability to recognize or identify with the feelings, needs, and viewpoints of others
Envy of others or a belief that others are envious of him or her
Hypersensitivity to insults (real or imagined), criticism, or defeat, possibly reacting with rage, shame, and humiliation
Arrogant behavior and/or attitude

Let's see...I can confirm everything except "easily hurt" (it's possible, though), and since Narcissistic Personality Disorder is in the DSM-IV, we can call her at least slightly mentally ill.

12. Not true!

15. we'll put this in the "No Shit,Sherlock" category.

[GSLevel9]

19. hehehehe... +1000

[GoCubsGo]

17. And, the sky is blue.

And, water is wet...

Wanna bet this idiot has never been to ANWR, either?

[NuclearDem]

18. Isn't this the same woman with a show on Discovery toting the beauty of Alaska?

And she wants to take part of Alaska's beauty and turn it into an oil field?

Hypocritical bitch.

[gratuitous]

21. She's giving Obama shit about going on vacation? Ms. Permanent Vacation?

I also don't recall her saying jack shit about Chimpy's relentless vacation schedule. Piss off, Palin.

[Scurrilous]

22. K & R

:thumbsup:

[Orsino]

23. That's evidence of corruption, not of idiocy.

When her corruption stops paying so well, maybe we'll see how smart she really is.

[laughingliberal]

24. Was there some doubt? nt

[Terra Alta]

25. After all the hard work Obama has done for this country

he deserves a vacation or two. At least he isn't going to quit halfway through his term like Sarah the half-term half-wit.
