Palin's farewell. I can give anyone the benefit of the doubt, but OMG, this is just embarrassing.

[pinto]

As an American, I want to apologize to someone but I'm not sure to whom.

[livetohike]

1. I'm not watching, so is this worse than on July 3 when she

announced her resignation?

[pinto]

3. Much. n/t

[livetohike]

8. She just can't leave, can she? I'd hate to be her therapist n/t

[blm]

35. I'd hate to be her lover.....you just KNOW she'd be a bunny-boiler....

.

[hootinholler]

51. Bunny-Boiler?

:shrug:

-Hoot

[OnyxCollie]

Glenn Close/Fatal Attraction reference.

Had to think about that for a sec.

[Subdivisions]

36. Where are y'all watching this? n/t

[DesertFlower]

4. yes.

[DesertFlower]

2. WTF is she rambling on about?

i can't follow what she's trying to say. she's jumping from one thing to another.

[bridgit]

13. hahaha, it's like 3-4-5 player piano rolls just whirling round in there...

Some slow some fast some stuck and every one a different tune, now maybe *that's* what republicans call diversity :bounce:

[Richard Steele]

55. That's such a wonderful description. BRILLIANT!

I'm gonna hafta remember that metaphor,
and use it in the future.

[glarius]

24. Her speeches are always so terribly disjointed!

She sounds like she is picking slips of paper with stuff written on it out of a hat and reading what they say. The words never flow to communicate a complete thought. She really is wacky.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

53. It's like those refrigerator poetry kits,

those little boxes of words on magnets that you can use to write "poetry" on your refrigerator. Someone ought to put together a Palin Magnetic Poetry kit.

[OnyxCollie]

58. William S. Burroughs' & Brion Gysin's Non-Linear Adding Machine.

http://www.23degrees.net/cutup/

Combine the text of her speech with three other texts to create wacky new passages. Impress your friends, maybe even summon the dead!

"The cut-up is actually closer to the facts of perception than representational painting. Take a walk down a city street and put down what you have just seen on canvas. You have seen a person cut in two by a car, bits and pieces of street signs and advertisements, reflections from shop windows - a montage of fragments. Writing is still confined to the representational straitjacket of the novel ... consciousness is a cut up. Every time you walk down the street or look out of the window, your stream of consciousness is cut by random factors."

[glarius]

66. Anyone watching Colbert Report?...he's describing Palin's speech

just as I said in the above posting yesterday...Hahahaha!

[npk]

5. I am glad I am not watching

I am sure Chris will go over it in detail on Hardball tomorrow night.

[jefferson_dem]

12. You're missing some comedy gold.

What a clownish dolt this woman is. She's a hoot to watch... I pray she's around in 2012. :popcorn:

[npk]

38. Oh yes I know she is good for a laugh

I just can't stomach her for more than a few minutes. If I were a conservative there is no way I would vote for her or even give her the time of the day. Sad really what some conservatives find for a leader.

[tblue37]

56. Well, they have Not-Joe the Not-Plumber in to give talks at their

leadership conferences and other Republican get-togethers. They really do love their losers, don't they.

[bridgit]

6. It's the most mish-mashed eulogy I've ever seen a politician deliver over their own funeral

[malaise]

7. It's hilarious

All you need to know is that she's batshit crazy.

[DesertFlower]

11. or on drugs.

[jefferson_dem]

9. "We eat. Therefore, we hunt"...

*grunt* *snort* "Me Sarah..."

Classic Palin stupidism...

[Xicano]

33. The next StarTrek movie

Hollywood should use that line with one of the Klingons.

:)

[falcon97]

37. C'mon. Did she REALLY say that?? n/t

[Parche]

10. Garsh!!!

:rofl: :rofl::hi:

[spanone]

14. she takes batshit crazy to levels unknown

[JohnnyLib2]

15. Tina Fey, I tell ya.

The real SP is in a quiet treatment center, somewhere.

[boppers]

48. I'm thinking Tina Fey deserves an apology.

This woman will keep poor Tina going back to SNL for her "Palin" guest spots for many years, as long as she keep up the crazy.

[Ilsa]

16. On and on about being a lame duck. Geez, she'll be more of a lame

duck out on her own. Her speech makes no sense. She's all over the place.

[Blue_In_AK]

17. Just watched it.

Alternating between rolling on the floor laughing and vomiting my guts out. Please, please, PLEASE, people -- don't think that she's representative of what Alaska is all about.

This is so embarrassing.

[malaise]

19. We know better

She's really, really bad, but the North Star will lead her home.
She's leaving -she wants some of them there expensive clothes and bright lights.

add

[Cha]

26. I commend the hearty souls who

could even watch it.

That's some scary shit there.

[Blue_In_AK]

29. I can't wait to hear the bloggers' take on this.

AKMuckraker is going to have some serious fun with this one.

[Cha]

34. I can't wait to read it, either..

they're the experts.:toast:

[charlie]

18. Lol. She has a sign language interpreter

The poor lady has to make sense out of gibberish. She oughta just go cross-eyed and flap her hands, it'd be easier.

[Z_I_Peevey]

30. Bwah!

Can't wait to see this thing. If it's worse than the lakeside duck-quackig, dead fish-floating, point guard-passing extravaganza from a few weeks ago, well, I'll be preemptive Depends-wearing.

[lunatica]

42. You mean like this?

Sign language re Sarah Palin speak =

[TheCowsCameHome]

20. I didn't watch. Washing my eyes with bleach afterward tends to ruin my evening.

She was that bad, eh?

[Marr]

21. Many US Americans don't have maps. Or Iraq and... such as.

[pinto]

22. She quit her job. As a Governor. Blames the press, Hollywood, and claims she's

done it for the greater good of Alaska.

My head hurts.

[livetohike]

23. I agree - thankfully, Alaskans won't have this nut case for a

governor anymore :-). Hopefully, the new Gov. is a little more sane.

[TheCowsCameHome]

25. Welcome to PalinLand, where reality is never on the menu.

[Blue_In_AK]

28. I think she inadvertently succeeded

on that last part. Her resignation can't help but be good for Alaska. Poor Sean Parnell (also known as "Ken doll" and "Captain Zero") is going to have his work cut out for him.

[pinto]

39. Good, local point. Congrats on no longer having her as your Gov.

:hi:

[Blue_In_AK]

45. Thank you, Pinto.

It is indeed a day of celebration. :)

[Xicano]

27. we eat, therefore we hunt!

And just think. She came somewhat close to having her hands on the nuclear button.

How scary is that?

[Ikonoklast]

31. Meth is a hell of a drug.

Look how it addled that poor women's brain. She isn't making a lick of sense.

Bless her heart, the poor dear.

[MiniMe]

32. I'm watching the Walter Cronkite tribute on Discovery Channel

It will be running all night. Much more interesting stories about a much more significant person than sister Sarah. It is something that Cronkite recorded about his life, he will be missed. Sarah, not so much.

[Cartoonist]

40. Freepers in orgasmic state

No, I won't link to the site, but they're eating this up like she has Obama beaten already. "She's Reagan with a dress." No one has ever told the media to stop making things up!" The line, "We eat, therefore we hunt" initiated multiple orgasms. They're all pulling out their wallets and credit cards.
It's unbelievable to me that anyone can see any intelligence in this woman, but there they are.

[Pool Hall Ace]

54. Well, aren't they spot-on with the "Reagan in a dress" thing?

The rest, I'm sure, is utter claptrap.

[Raschel]

59. Can you believe it? She's their hero because she's quitting!

:rofl:

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

60. Most of them dream of quitting their job at Burger King

To post full time at Freepland.

[Raschel]

62. Here I come to save the day! By quitting.......

[charlie]

41. YouTube

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

She hits her groove early, 49 seconds in. Frozen, foggy Denali, 155 degrees hotter(!!!) in the summer, too hot for Chichacos.

[Blue_In_AK]

44. Well, I think she was referring there

to the fact that Fairbanks reaches -60 in the winter and close to 90 in the summer, but, as usual, she didn't get the point across very clearly. And all that "sourdough" and "cheechako" stuff was REALLY cheesy.

[boppers]

49. Translation?

"sourdough" and "cheechako"? Whaaaat?

[Blue_In_AK]

50. A sourdough is someone who's been in Alaska a long time.

I think I might qualify now since I've been here since 1975, but originally of course it referred to the old miners and the sourdough that they carried around for making pancakes. A Cheechako is a newcomer, especially one who hasn't yet experienced an Alaskan winter.

[stevedeshazer]

43. It was quite bad, no question.

I don't really know how to respond, but it was indeed embarrassing.

[Ocracoker16]

46. how about her shout out to the media: "quit makin things up"

[nini]

61. You can't make up crap like her

That's how bad she is. If someone wrote a book about a character like her it wouldn't be believable.

[RagAss]

47. Crazier than a Shithouse Rat !

[Th1onein]

52. I like your take on things, RagAss.

lolol

[Pool Hall Ace]

57. I can't tell you how comforting it is to read the comments here.

As someone recovering from brain surgery, I thought there was something wrong with the fact that I can't understand what she is saying! :crazy:

[RagAss]

63. Get well soon !

[Pool Hall Ace]

65. Oh, thanks! I'm six months post-surgery, but I had a fist-sized tumor

pressing on the left side of my brain! It's going to take a while before my noggin gets back to normal. :hi:

[LeftishBrit]

64. Thank you all for defeating McCain/Palin!

The thought of her in ANY position to accede to the presidency!

I suppose she could still run, but it would probably be more difficult now that she quit in mid-term.
