Ahh, finally some real Sarah dish. The book actually does contain some new nuggets on dear Sarah, including this final story of how the kids learned of Palin’s cadidacy. (Recall the multiple stories she’s told- “I asked the kids,” “I didn’t blink,”)
–Telling the kids: Palin couldn’t bring herself to tell her children she had accepted McCain’s offer to be his running mate. “The governor decided not to deliver the life-changing news herself. Instead, she asked Steve Schmidt to tell her children that their worlds were about to be turned upside down.” There’s no explanation for why this happened – but Conroy and Walshe do point out that the timeline means the children weren’t asked for their permission, as Palin suggested during the campaign.
Yup. She had someone else tell her family. And how about this little gem:
“On the “Early Show” on CBS, authors Scott Conroy and Shushannah Walshe said Tuesday there was a “remarkable internal war” at the end of the campaign between Palin and McCain’s teams when the VP candidate was told she could not deliver a concession speech. “Governor Palin tried to create some confusion” so that she would be able to speak, but she ultimately failed. “It really turned into an all-out civil war,” Walshe said. On election night, Palin went back out onstage to take pictures with her family and McCain’s staff was so terrified that she would give a speech after all that they turned out the lights on her.
According to a copy of the book obtained by Huffington Post, when senior McCain aide Carla Eudy heard the news, she immediately called campaign manager Steve Schmidt, who barked, “Take the set down. Unplug it.”
The McCain staff didn’t believe Palin’s claim that she just wanted to take pictures with her family on stage – to one aide, it sounded like a “dubious cover story.”
Even as the stage crew dimmed the lights, Palin and family stood there and waved at the dwindling crowd.
Also out this week is another vast left wing conspiracy screed that pleads “poor Palin was pilloried for not being patrician enough.” This writer has a different perspective, but more on that later.
Call ‘Em Out: Sarah Palin
She’s a liar. She lies constantly and demonstrably. If you believe a word she says you are an idiot. It’s that simple.
There is good news on the horizon of planet Palin today. Won’t the former queen of Alaska, Sarah Palin, be pleased when she hears this:
Hot on the heels of the news that Sarah Palin’s upcoming memoir is already an online bestseller more than a month before its Nov. 17 release, Tina Fey dropped a buzz-worthy tidbit in a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar. “I feel like I’ve probably not worn that wig for the last time,” she said, referring to her Emmy-winning Palin impersonation. “At some point, it will come out of the closet.”
That’s right. Tina Fey may bring her back, getting Sarah even more attention as the laughing-stock she’s set herself up to be. Yeah for us.
Via Daily Dish:
“My honest view is that she would not be a winning candidate for president and if she was the results would be … catastrophic,” – McCain ‘08 manager Steve Schmidt, on Sarah Palin.
Of course, what he means is catastrophic for Republicans, so for the country, not so bad.
Sarah Mania! Sarah Palin’s Greatest Hits
No. Get outa here. What ever could have given anyone that idea? Yet, it seems like that’s what they think…
Palin’s bookers are said to be asking for $100,000 per speech, but an industry expert tells Page Six: “The big lecture buyers in the US are paralyzed with fear about booking her, basically because they think she is a blithering idiot.”
Well, now. The event we’ve all been waiting for is just about to happen. November 17 has been announced as the release date of a certain lying, thieving, dingbat’s memoirs. The book is slated to come in at 400 pages. This is great news. It means nobody edited much of anything. Fact checking certainly didn’t happen. Sarah does herself few favors when she dumps what passes for her thoughts in the public forum. Her lies are transparent. Her self-pity, pathetic. Her lack of any depth or breadth of thought, embarrassing. We all know the rumps who love you, Sarah dear, won’t care about the facts. That’s been demonstrated. But, there are a lot of people who will.
This tome will be parsed and Sarah will end up revealing more than she ever conceived of.
SARAH PALIN ( AN AMERICAN WOMEN ) FOX NEWS EXCLUSIVE / PART 4
Breepalin has some video scared up off of YouTube, bane of Stupid Sarah, as it keeps churning up evidence. Evidence of stupidity, evidence of lies, evidence of faked pregnancy… Oh, so hard to be stupid in the digital age. Check out Sarah, at about four seconds into the video. This is ten days before the birth of her fifth child. Eh… right. If you believe that one, please buy a motorcycle right away. In fact I would like to propose a new charity which will buy motorcycles for all Palin fans. All motorcycles purchased by said charity would have really big engines.
After perusing the commentary about Palin’s rambling, semi-coherent 90 minute remarks to a bunch of investors in Hong Kong, one impression stands out: she basically talked to them exactly as she would her moron base. Blah, blah, populism, blah, blah, I saw a moose, blah, blah, Reagan, blah, blah, terrorists… on and on. It was the same shit she’d blather at a rump picnic in South Carolina. Poor, stupid Sarah. She really has no clue. The funny thing about some jokes, though, is how badly they backfire on the joker. I’ll bet they thought it was going to be a lot of fun to bring in the queen of the hillbillies and have something to laugh at later over their caviar and vodka, but about 40 minutes in, they realized the joke was on them.
Read Sarah getting Fisked, for some fun insights.
They work for big insurance companies and pocket any money they don’t use to provide medical care, which is a huge disincentive for them to pay for anyone’s care. From an article out to day that explains that 45,000 people a year die from lack of access to medical care, because, for one reason or another, they don’t have medical insurance:
Research released this week in the American Journal of Public Health estimates that 45,000 deaths per year in the United States are associated with the lack of health insurance. If a person is uninsured, “it means you’re at mortal risk,” said one of the authors, Dr. David Himmelstein, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School.
Dumb Sarah’s lies about health care reform are pure evil. People die because our current system is fucked up. Take this case, for example:
For years, Paul Hannum didn’t have health insurance while he worked as a freelance cameraman in southern California.
One Sunday, Hannum complained of a stomachache which alarmed his pregnant fiancée, Sarah Percy. “He wasn’t a complainer,” she said. “He’s the type of guy who, if he got a cold, he’ll power through it. I never had known him to complain about anything.”
Hannum thought he had a stomach flu or food poisoning from bad chicken. On Monday, his brother saw him looking ashen and urged him to go to the hospital. “He had a little girl on the way,” his older brother Curtis Hannum said. “He didn’t want the added burden of an ER visit to hang on their finances. He thought ‘I’ll just wait,’ and he got worse and worse.”
By the time Hannum got to the hospital and was admitted to surgery, it was too late.
Paul Hannum, 45, died on Thursday, August 3, 2006, from a ruptured appendix. His daughter, Cameron was born two months later.
