'...Palin is an idiot.' Keith responds to right-wing blogger's accusations that criticism of Palin is really just code words for 'dang, that woman looks good.'

MSNBC Countdown w/ KEITH OLBERMANN - 21 June 2020.

Sarah Palin is not beautiful. She is ugly. Really ugly: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/08/31/palin-laughs-as-opponent_n_122776.html

You're welcome.

3. I DID remember that! I think that Palin DOES project through the screen like

"Crazy."

[KingFlorez]

2. All they have is nonsense

What a weak retort. They are the ones obsessed with Palin's looks, all we're worried about his craziness.

[oedura]

24. Projection...

...Republicans live for it.

[hyphenate]

4. I have to wonder

how long this ditz is going to be in the public eye. If she ever gets anywhere NEAR the presidency of our country, she will be the true catalyst to the pugs taking over the country, because the rest of us will find someway, even if they're living as poor as I am, to get the fuck out of the country. I've got enough relatives in Canada, and enough friends in England to find my way to either of them. I might have to sell everything I own, but I think it would be worth it to get out.

29. there is long standing rumors that if she gets close to the nom

that repugs are going to take her out with the longstanding rumors of open marriage, etc. wait for it. It will be awesome.

[herbm]

5. When I call Palin an idiot I mean she is a clueless asshole.

[Enthusiast]

7. Me too. nt

[Bitwit1234]

6. Palin could be good looking on the outside, but her inside is so

evil ugly it effects any one looking at her and that is all they see, pure evil uglyness.

[Rhiannon12866]

8. +1.

IMHO, her voice gave her away on day one... x(

[Divine Discontent]

10. yep! exactly!!! when I saw her behind McCain I was mortified that we were going to lose, because

of the Clinton factor, and how Barack had chosen Joe, and zoom - Johnny goes and chooses a governor who is female! Of course I was like, "Alaska?"

Then... All fear subsided when she said less than 1 minute of her speech!

She sounded dumb (because, it turned out, she is), and she sounded like a smarmy individual (it turned out, she reallllly is), and it was clear we would win, even if it was close (it was not).

[Rhiannon12866]

11. I knew that they'd chosen wrong from her first appearance, too.

I wasn't concerned about her gender or the fact that nobody had heard of her. Unknowns are often chosen for the second spot (and are forgotten just as quickly when the ticket loses). But as soon as she opened her mouth, my SO and I looked at each other and cringed. We had no idea, yet, that she knew less than nothing, but that awful tone of her voice gave it all away... x(

But my question remains. Why is she still here?! :crazy:

[Divine Discontent]

25. I think, to answer your question, they're trying to drive us crazy??? LOL

:crazy:

[Rhiannon12866]

26. And she gives Tina Fey a chance to do some of her best work...

;)

[Divine Discontent]

27. now, if Tina were on every week mocking what Palin did each week, it'd be okay, lol

[Rhiannon12866]

28. That would *almost* make it worth it... LOL.

"I can see Russia from my house!" :crazy:

[mfcorey1]

9. I don't know why people think this woman is beautiful.`

Beautiful is Catherine Zeta Jones, Helen MIrren, Halle Berry, Salma Hyek, Megan Fox, and the list is endless. However, Sarah is not on the list. She is still sporting that sixties bouffant hair do that is stiff. She has maintained weight well. That is all.

[SemperEadem]

15. she's had plastic surgery

no woman who's had 5 kids looks like one who's never had any. Sorry.

[hyphenate]

30. Well, you know (wink, wink, nod)

That the youngest isn't really hers--it's her oldest's baby. (I don't know if that is true, but they really made such a confusing mess over it, that I am more likely to say it's true.)

[mwb970]

19. To conservatives, that *is* beauty!

"She is still sporting that sixties bouffant hair do that is stiff."

This is what they like! Just look at the Fox "News" bimbos with their endlessly blonde hair and huge Jaggerlips. Or look at the bimbos at the NASCAR events so beloved by righties (loud noises made by fast cars driving in a circle and occasionally blowing up - whee! And look at them hooters!).

The taste exhibited by republicans is just as questionable as their poor judgment and obvious lack of standards in general. These are not thinking people. These are conservatives.

[spicegal]

12. My repulsion to Palin has nothing to do with her looks,

although I'm quite sure her "beauty" (that would be external beauty only) explains how she's managed to get ahead all these years. I think Hawkins has it somewhat backwards. It is ONLY because of her looks that the Republican/conservative know nothings worship the ground she walks on. While idiot may not quite be the right adjective, the woman is seriously lacking in many areas. She is destructive and clearly not fit to lead anything.

[florida08]

13. pray the oil away

because it worked so well after the Exxon catastrophe. Sarah is such an opportunist. She doesn't give a tinker's damn about what the people of the Gulf are going through. It's simply a platform she uses to draw attention to herself. This would be her response as president to what BP did. How comforting to the fisheries and families who now have no income.

[Hubert Flottz]

14. What kind of guy wants an asshole winking at him.

Sarah could mop up a lot of that BP product in the Gulf with that sponge between her ears.

I guess guys who prefer sheep could go for a brainless baaaaaaaaaaaaad girl like Sarah.

[SemperEadem]

16. the kind who can't get a real one and spends his time in fantasy land

[tanyev]

17. RW projection, again.

EVERYTHNG they say about Palin means, "Dang, that woman looks good."

[mwb970]

18. This "AWR Hawkins" cretin has summarized every wackaloon post about $arah.

Imagine having the kind of mind that can believe, and say, "the liberals are terrified of $arah because she is beautiful". Ponder for a moment the sheer depth of inanity and idiocy displayed in this and the following comments from this poor lost soul. Then ponder the fact that this is how conservatives "think" - in scripted talking points instead of thoughts, ultimately reaching their own predetermined conclusions rather than coming up with anything new.

Gee, this isn't really a fair fight. Our side has thought, truth, logic, experience, and wisdom. Their side has fear and hate, spewed as talking points by the likes of "AWR Hawkins". Um, we win.

[kjackson227]

20. Okay, let's compromise... Palin is a beautiful idiot. Case closed :)

[Ishoutandscream2]

21. She is not beautiful - both inside and out

I don't understand people who think she's pretty. She isn't. Not at all. Never was - even as a so-called beauty queen.

[silenttigersong]

22. Help I need a Palinoscopy

Just imagine if Palin were Prez and the red phone rang at 3 am,she would roll over and say Todd you get it. If she had a situation similar to the Cuban missile crisis,where every second counts she would say let"s take a moment to pray. Moose would be on the menu for the State house dinner. Just imagine the tea party's....women with tea -bags hanging of their luncheon hats eating cucumber sandwich's. Help,I need a Palinoscopy..if Sarah Palin were Prez ,she would have square dances in the WH ballroom,after a robust session of Bingo for all tea baggers.One of the first official acts, would be, to have Todd, and his buddies erect a 30 foot tall wooden fence around the White house Help,If Sarah Palin were Prez .If Sarah Palin were Prez the first Family's pet would be a pit Bull with lipstick....If Sarah Palin were Prez she would ask her senior white house aid if Bill Clinton was in charge of the Dept of Government and Foreign affairs.........The state of the union address ,would be done via Twitter.The white house staff would consist of special readers whose sole purpose, would be to read the vast,array of mags and newspapers,that she told the perky one(Katy Couric )about.The White House Press corp,would consist of Bill Oriely,Shawn Hannity and Glen Beck..................none else. Drum roll,every morning she would take binoculars from the oval office desk drawer,look out the window to see if she could spot Russia.......... Don't blame Sarah Palin ,she really is a compassionate Conservative. She thinks water boarding is something Al Gore created to replace snow boarding,because of his get rich quick schemes concerning global warming. Sarah Palins 2012 campaign slogan..kinda drill, baby,kinda drill.Comedians would have more material then the Bush era.......:hide:

23. The kingmakers in the smoke filled rooms-

love having beautiful idiots in charge. Their stupidity makes them easy to manipulate, and people are easily distracted by the beautiful person's charisma and therefore are less inclined to turn against them.
