Heh. Palin’s contribution to posterity for this phase of the election has been to gift Gingrich the slogan, “Annoy a liberal, vote for Newt.” Judging by the exit polls, we are not to be annoyed, unless we were fondly rooting for a Newt win.
On Fox a couple of weeks ago, she said: “I still think my endorsement is probably not worth a hill of beans, nor maybe is my advice.” She then proceeded to give plenty of advice, of course, but a very much belated realization is washing over locations like Ace of Spades that Snooki’s not all that, never was, and never will be:
Is Palin A Lame Duck?
Hoo boy, are some folks out of love over there. A few samples from the comments (skipping over the “I’d still hit it yadayada” stuff):
Once up on a time I was a huge Palin supporter. I told my daughters that I couldn’t wait until the day I could vote for her for president.
Now her voice is one of the rare things that can send me searching for the remote control while I’m comfortably seated on the couch.
Not sure what happened other than the fact that everything she says is somehow self promoting. Her analysis seems pretty superficial as well.
If she ain’t runnin’ for office, she’s just runnin’ her mouth.
She raised a lot of people’s hopes just to get herself a TV gig. I was a fan. No more.
It’s like she’s gone out of her way to prove true every negative thing said about her- drama whoring, dumb, diva, etc.
Every time I hear her on Fox News it’s like she’s talking to 5th grade kids, so intellectually shallow her banal “analysis” is. Santorum did well in Iowa because he appeals to the state’s evangelical demographic? Well no shit, you vapid bimbo.
After the rest of us are getting very tired of this primary cycle, she’s still pushing for this being dragged out as long as possible. No doubt so she and Fox News can continue pretending she has anything remotely insightful to say about the race, and perhaps in the vain hope that a brokered convention would allow her to generate some more bullshit attention-whoring drama.
It’s a long, long way from South Carolina (where Snooki’s endorsement won it for Newt!!!!) to Florida.
Anyhoo. Results. I believe the networks have embargoed calling the result till everyone’s had a chance to vote this time. A novel concept, and one that probably won’t stop them dripping out those exit polls through the evening.
I’ll stay up just to see how many ways Newt can embarrass himself and put the wind up the GOP “establishment” (IOW, anyone who’s not firmly in his corner) in his concession speech. Hope he doesn’t disappoint me.
