Palin on the verge...
of a making a decision on a presidential run!! (the soap opera continues)

http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/27/palin-on-the-verge-of-decision-about-presidential-run/

In the meantime, her Twitter feed and Facebook page have gone silent for the last 10 days. Her Web site has not been updated recently. And Ms. Palin has not appeared on Fox News for a week, since before the last Republican presidential debate.

In a letter to donors late last week, Tim Crawford, the chief of her political action committee, wrote that Ms. Palin was “on the verge of making her decision of whether or not to run for office.”

Mr. Crawford noted that “someone must save our nation from this road to European socialism,” and asked for money as a way of demonstrating support if she throws her hat in the ring. He gave no clue to her decision, though he added that time is “running out.”

Kind of fitting. She's running her mouth, death behind her.

3. That video of the turkey pardoning was the most perversely funny thing
I have ever seen. To this day, I think she remains clueless about the whole thing. I'd vote for a world cup-predicting octopus before I'd ever let her near the WH.

14. Unfortunately...
...Paul have left us, before the Germans made calamari of him. But I have to agree that a dead octopus would probably do less damage in the Whitehouse than Sarah, at worst all Paul could do was stink up the place.

5. She's on the verge...
...of slipping into irrelevance. She's hoping this will generate headlines and stir up the nitwits...

8. Yes, only Sarah can save us from the evils of European socialism!
Hope she gets lots of dollars in her coffers before time runs out. She's gonna need it to maintain her high-flyin' lifestyle without ever having to do a day's work. Glad I have a mute button on my remote. Even the thought of her voice makes me cringe.

Geez...

9. She has been rather quiet since the McGinness book came out...
and the story about Glen Rice, the black basketball player. I thought nothing could shut up her screeching voice but I may have been wrong?

15. She's threatening to sue McGinness and his publisher
Unfortunately, beyond vague assertions that the book is full of lies, Mrs. Palin and her cadre haven't yet explained what is a lie and what is the truth in McGinness' book. They've sort of painted themselves into a corner should they get specific, in that anything they fail to call a lie should be presumed to be the truth. And once they start down that road, they can be sure they'll be suffering the famed death by a thousand cuts.

23. "European socialism"
Like Sweden w/ a 6% poverty rate and the U.S. w/ 17% poverty rate?

or like France which is ranked # 1 in the world as per Health Care

12. She's going to drag this out as long as she can before she announces her
decision, whatever it may be. All she really wants is attention, which will likely dry up once her fans realize that she isn't running for office. IMO, if she had any plans of entering the race, she would have already done so. Until she makes an announcement, I am going to ignore her, although that can be really hard to do.

20. Well, right now Sarah's busy "Leading World Out Of Crisis",
which is the subject of her speech before the World Knowledge Forum <====== :rofl:
in Seoul, South Korea next month.

Maybe after she saves the world, she'll find the time to announce, or perhaps she'll just
stay on the verge, which pays a hell of a lot better.

22. she's not running yet, she has to milk the "controversy" over the new book
that blasts her to with an inch of it's life.

when I say milk, I mean shake it down for every media worthy free publicity dime all so she can play the victim yet again.

Then and only then will she make some sort of appearance claiming, "it's not worth it to me anymore, everyone is so mean". Then she will go on and say, "I will only run if the people want me too". That means, she will run regardless of the poll numbers wanting her to run are through the floor.

then she will make the bizarre claim of "the people have spoken and I will reluctantly will run for president".

If you ever had the "pleasure" of being around grifters, they all share one thing in common, massive ego.

and unless their ego is in a constant state of being stroked, they do all they can to turn everything, regardless of what it is, into something about them to generate ego stroking bullshit.

So what she hasn't said anything in the last few days, she's cooking up a massive plan to turn her non-presidential run in to a money making scheme via launching a non-law suit against the writer of that book.

she will take the "law suit" to the people and they will decide, much like the people decided to burn people at the stake for being a witch.

she hasn't a leg to stand on legally, because Random House being an old publishing house, always crosses their "T"'s and dot's their "I"'s before releasing a controversial book.

if she wants to get into that barb-wire, then she's a moron. But she knows better, so rather than use facts to refute the charges, she will use bullshit to dazzle her mouth breathing followers (what's left of them) to "boycott" Random House. That's really funny because I doubt many of them read.

25. I hope she runs as an Independent.
I'm sure she will have a Ross Perot effect.
