Looking on the bright side for the Palinistas , if they can delude themselves into thinking that Sarah is qualified to be president to the point that they sent her their grocery money , they shouldn’t have any problem convincing themselves that the cat food they’re about to eat for dinner is really Pate Maison.

But if Elizabeth Kübler-Ross had been able to observe the Paliosphere, she’d have concieved of grief not as five stages, but as a 24-frames per second cartoon

Damn. I love the smell of snark in the morning.

“Draft Sarah” movements are now being organized, on the assumption that a petition drive will restore the fire in her belly, where 3 million Facebook fans and a bevy of dedicated Snooki4Prez blogs couldn’t.

Eventually, this will devolve into a kind of Ghost Dance Religion, the same way it did with the Hillary holdouts.

I just hope Xenu Xarah will call them all home to live on Comet Shill-Bopped as quickly as possible…

“Haka.” Where have I heard that before? Once again I am astounded at how many of the PUMA chumps seamlessly transferred their allegiance from the smart, complex and competent Democratic Secretary of State to the braying, empty-headed GOP celebritician Sarah Palin. Secretary Clinton deserved SO much better! I’m glad there’s almost zero chance that she’s aware of the phenomenon.

Regarding Tammy Bruce’s tweet—oooo suh-nap! If I were immortal and wealthy beyond measure, I’d allocate some time to listen to Bruce’s joint podcast with that Jedididuhdilia Gila Monster person to experience a level of schadenfreude I haven’t enjoyed since aught-eight. But alas, I am neither, and there are bills to pay. So adieu, PaLUMAs!

Have I mentioned lately that if I caught a Republican looking at my sister, I would shoot him? Well, here’s one more reason why:

Her body language told me months ago that it was doubtful, but like so many I held out hope.

HTP, I’ve noticed lately that “body language” is a big article of faith with nutters across the spectrum. I was reading up on the guys who were released in the West Memphis 3 fiasco (saw both Paradise Lost docs again a couple weeks ago after the Troy Davis tragedy—I honestly think I’m ready to switch careers and be a full-on prisoners’ rights and anti-death penalty activist), and on every message board, some idiot blithers about “Of course they’re guilty, look at their BODY LANGUAGE when they’re on camera!”

Because you know, the fact that there is absolutely NO DNA or other physical evidence linking them to the crime and that almost anyone with more than two brain cells who has looked at the case knows they were railroaded doesn’t mean shit compared to the fact that a guy who spent 18 years on Death Row—10 of them in solitary confinement—doesn’t seem totally relaxed and comfortable in the public glare.

And Mrs. Polly, thanks for re-directing my attention to the earlier Palin thread—otherwise, I would have missed some weapons-grade snark unleashed on poor lil “conservative teacher.”

Body language is indeed important to our brethren on the right.  See “Craig, Larry” and “Wide Stance.”

It just occurred to me that Sarah’s “I don’t need a title” line is lifted from Di’s whole “I want to be a queen of people’s hearts” spiel.

And YAFB, that Ziegler screed may be the saddest “I can’t BELIEVE I used to go out with you!” missive in recorded history.

Also, the banner ad at the top of this post is for “Depression Counseling.” Which is just made of all kinds of awesome. Too.

All praise to Jon Stewart for digging up this June 28 exchange between Brian Kilmeade and Bristol Palin on Fox News (where else?):

===
KILMEADE: Do you get the sense that your mom has not made up her mind yet, or do you think she knows and hasn’t told us?

BRISTOL: You know, she definitely knows, um, we’ve talked about it before, but, um, some things just need to stay in the family.
===

Ruh-roh…

Have pity on the body language readers.  After years of squinting and squirming, trying to understand Palin’s English, body language is all they’re capable of comprehending.

body language is all they’re capable of comprehending.

And as in all things, they suck mightly at that. Also too.

More solid gold from J.Z.:

After all, if you didn’t think you deserved extraordinary consideration, you would never have had the audacity to even float the idea of a presidential run after resigning office in a way that was clearly designed to get rich and stay famous.

Yeah, he saw through the whole time. He just kept slobbering over her because he felt sorry for her.

All the body language talk is probably the result of Falafel O’Reilly having a “body language expert” on his ninny-fest once a wk.

Winkerbelle - LOL.

Will this be the ending of The $aga of $arah or is the epilogue still to come?  Stay tooned!

Ziegler’s open letter is one of the most unintentionally hilarious things I’ve read in a long time.

Mrs. P, I apologize for not saying this sooner, but you truly outdid yourself with the Blingee here.

Palin says she says she turned to the Lord to help guide her decision, but bowed out when the machine kept picking up.

Thank God her calls kept getting dropped

HTP, I know.  I was having a brain fart and just threw that one out there ‘coz it had money in the title.

Your song moar better, HTP.

I figured you were way too smart to go this far with a blatant tease without a legitimate exit explanation.

It’s okay, li’l Ziggy.  I know you miss her, but Sarah’s gone to a better place: demagogue heaven, where sausage links grow on trees and everywhere you turn there is a new butt to sniff.  Or maybe that’s doggie heaven.  But in any case, I’m sure she’ll be fine—you can’t keep a good ‘gogue down!

Who knew there were trolls under the Rainbow Bridge?
