Palin on Schlessinger: Winners Never Quit, and Quitters Never Stop Making Excuses for Quitting

Sarah defends “Dr.” Laura, just long enough to rationalize her own chickenshit flight from elected office:

I, and obviously many others, have been “shackled” too by people who play games with false accusations, threats, frivolous lawsuits, misreporting, etc., in an effort to silence those with whom they disagree. That’s why I tend to defend people who call it like they see it while others stop at nothing to shut them up. I learned this valuable lesson when the partisan obstructionists in my state tried to shackle, bankrupt, and destroy my family and supporters, and my record, with endless frivolous litigation when I returned from the Vice Presidential campaign trail. In order to shake off the shackles they wanted to paralyze us with, I handed the reins to another, much like Dr. Laura is doing, so that these obstructionists who hated a Commonsense Conservative agenda wouldn’t win. I didn’t retreat; I reloaded in order to fight for what is right on a fairer battlefield. So, more power to someone with good intentions who refuses to be shackled by their detractors when they are falsely accused of being racist.

“Shackles”? Really? Is Sarah angling for an Image Award, or a singing part in the big-screen remake of Roots?

What a dip S-word.

Hear that, Alaska? Being Governor of your state was like being in a prison to this grizzled woman and her family.

The entire state should be ashamed, really.

I didn’t realize you could do violins on Twitter. Cool.

false accusations

Oh, like “palling around with terrorists” or “death panels?”

Now “Governor” Sarah and “Doctor” Laura can have a cozy time touring the country, exchanging stories of their terrible oppression by the laws of logic and decency, and bewailing their inability to throw around pejoratives about people of all races, colors, and creeds. Delightful!

This is so awesome. She really can’t StFu, can she? If “Dr.” Laura lost the last of her sponsors because she advocated sex with barnyard animals, Palin would be right there “defending” the woman (but really just taking another opportunity to talk about herself).

“People went out of their way to make fun of me for hunting animals. That’s why I tend to defend people who want to fuck them, also.”

L.O.L. Too.

Surely I am not the only one who is a bit creeped out by her now-constant use of the “reload” imagery. Thanks to her use of the term, it’s becoming mainstream and acceptable to her followers, and that leaks out to the rest of us.

I don’t know about everyone else, but making gun pron mainstream strikes me as something that (1) is well-planned, and (2) will not end well, especially for those opposed to the rightist agenda.

Sorry, not snarky; concerned mostly.

String, I share your concerns—they’re not coming out of left field (pun not intended). After all, I still remember when an unhinged right-winger opened fire on Unitarians.

She really does live in her own little Mary Sue fanfic world, doesn’t she?

I, for one, would love to see how Sarah would perform if she were to find herself on an actual battlefield. (“Screw this—I’m not gettin’ my head shot off! I surrender!”)

I am so happy that the ugly (inside and out) crazy old gym teacher reaped what she had sowed. She could have gotten her argument across by saying “N word” and not using the word and by not saying “don’t NAACP me” but like Michael Richards AKA “Cosmo Kramer”,she ends up the the trash heap of history, a history of her own making. I am so happy that the free market AKA sponsors started to pull their ads (I guess they were exercising their free speach) and she finally realized that she was just another “run of the mill gabby” and her days were numbered. She realized that she was not as smart as she thought she was, finally!

The problem with Palin is the same when she mistakenly referred to Ronald Reagan Eureka College, being in California and we all know its in Illinois, same thing, she does not fact check anything she is going to say. She is soooo Palin!
