It now seems clear why the staff to former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin didn't want anyone to bring recording devices or cell phones to her speech Friday night.

Even news outlets like Politico -- which have prominently featured Dick Cheney's terror jeremiads -- would have been likely to lampoon her.

But the ban on recording devices didn't stop them. Politico says they bought three tickets to Palin's Wisconsin speech and then penned a write-up. Their review was somewhat grim, taking aim at Palin's frequent use of the words "bogus" and "awesome" and delivering a strange anecdote about dollar coins.

"Palin had remarks prepared but frequently wandered off-script to make a point, offering audience members a casual “awesome” or “bogus” in discussing otherwise weighty topics," Jonathan Martin wrote in his review.

He quotes Palin as saying, “It is so bogus that society is sending a message right now and has been for probably the last 40 years that a woman isn’t strong enough or smart enough to be able to pursue an education, a career and her rights and still let her baby live.”

***

Noting that there had been a lot of “change” of late, Palin recalled a recent conversation with a friend about how the phrase “In God We Trust” had been moved to the edge of the new coins.

“Who calls a shot like that?” she demanded. “Who makes a decision like that?”

She added: “It’s a disturbing trend.”

1. Man o man, she is the gift that keeps on giving.

A BAN on recording devices at a speech? WTF? I guess she and her handlers KNOW she is a wingnut and don't want it on the record.

2. She's finally caught up with Steve Forbes

After all, it was he who taught us about the conspiracy surrounding the new paper money with it's anti-counterfeit devices. We thought the changes were just about thwarting counterfeiters but ole Steve Forbes taught us that it was really a left wing conspiracy to invite Soviet domination into the United States. Now Sarah is no longer behind the curve in discovering left wing conspiracies.

3. K&R! So many here want to ignore her and I get that. I also like a bright shining light

on stupidity!

[EOTE]

4. I find Palin's lack of faith disturbing.

[Cirque du So-What]

5. 'Awesome?' 'Bogus?'

Is her lexicon limited to what passes for dialogue in the Bill 'n Ted movies?

Her desperation is showing, as Snopes addressed this RW e-mail two-and-a-half years ago:

Not that it matters to her cretinous fan club, however. She prepares a buffet of shit sandwiches, and her gaping sheep ask for more.

9. I'm eagerly anticipating "grody to the MAX"...

:rofl:

:toast:

13. Queen of the Valley Girls

Palin's a joke. Guess she is running for Pres. of the 8th grade student council.

19. Reminds me of the bitchy girl in Napoleon Dynamite running for class president against Pedro.

"Who wants to eat chimchangas next year? I don't!" -pronounced chimmy-CHANG-gahs, not chimmy-chahn-gahs of course.

[get the red out]

6. The shark is getting dizzy

She has jumped him so many times.

7. He quotes Palin as saying,

“It is so bogus that society is sending a message right now and has been for probably the last 40 years that a woman isn’t strong enough or smart enough to be able to pursue an education, a career and her rights and still let her baby live.”

Yes, HER RIGHTS, Sarah.. oh, like, say, the right to choose what happens in her own body?

Jeebus H. Mahoney! The cognitive dissonance inside Palin's head must make a sound akin to a runaway freight train when she says shit like this..

[Lucy Goosey]

20. Exactly. She's such an idiot.

I think you hit the nail on the head with the cognitive dissonance.

Seriously, that quote would only make sense if educated career-women were subject to mandatory abortions. Which obviously they're not, Sarah - have you taken a look around your own family lately?

[dixiegrrrrl]

22. There is no sound in a vacuum.

[closeupready]

23. LOL - We talking about Sarah Palin or Sigourney Weaver?

;) (No offense to Ms. Weaver.)

[left coaster]

24. You have a point.

:)

[KansDem]

8. "She added: “It’s a disturbing trend.” "

Yeah? Let's see how "disturbed" she gets when she's paid for her $1.25 million "book deal."

I hope she's paid with "new dollar coins." Maybe she'll sit down and examine each one and wonder "who made a decision like this...?"

[cbdo2007]

10. She should have asked Bush why he did the coins this way.

Obviously it was his decision since he was President when they were first released.

[left coaster]

11. Nutters don't let the facts get in the way of their conspiracy rants..

Their heads could explode.

[Me.]

12. “Who makes a decision like that?”

W in 2005

[Lorien]

14. I find it disturbing that "In God we trust" is anywhere on the currency of a

so called secular Nation. I'm agnostic. I DON'T trust in a God and I AM and American. The currency is making a false statement.

[Arugula Latte]

15. There's no reason to have it on the money.

Speak for yourself, U.S. Mint. Lots of us don't buy into trusting a figment of human imagination.

I hate the creeping theocracy in this country.

[pampango]

16. I hate to agree with Palin......so I won't. She is crazy. n/t

[Mari333]

17. like Malkin, Bachmann, and Coulter

all crazier than shithouse rats.

[TwilightGardener]

18. The new coins are, like, so totally BOGUS!

God save us from this brain-dead twit.

[lpbk2713]

21. Obviously Failin is O/D'ing on sedatives to ease her pain.

She has dug herself into a deep hole and now she needs help in climbing out.
She created her own demons and I don't have any pity for her. She thrives on
the adulation she receives from the beguiled and the delusional simpletons
who used to be the remnants of the rethuglican party. Now all that is left
is a disorganized mob. They look to Failin to guide them to the Promised Land.
It must really hurt to be that pathetically stupid.

[callous taoboy]

25. What a fucking loon.

[reggie the dog]

26. Here in France we do not have God on our coins

but I have to put up with seeing them on the edges of euro coins from other EU states.
