Sarah Palin’s Latest Gobbledegook

WTF?

BLITZER: Does that mean you want to come up with a new Sarah Palin initiative that you want to release right now.

PALIN: Gah! Nothing specific right now. Sitting here in these chairs that I’m going to be proposing but in working with these governors who again on the front lines are forced to and it’s our privileged obligation to find solutions to the challenges facing our own states every day being held accountable, not being just one of many just casting votes or voting present every once in a while, we don’t get away with that. We have to balance budgets and we’re dealing with multibillion dollar budgets and tens of thousands of employees in our organizations.

Yes, I’m looking for the video (or I’ll upload it myself).  In the meantime, enjoy Michelle Malkin defending this dull-eyed dimwit on Fox.  Palin/Malkin 2012! [via Balloon Juice, now with extra venality!]

UPDATE: Here’s the video.  The lead-in to the above quote starts at about the 3:40 mark…

Anyone else using Firefox 3? Not sure if it’s a problem on my side or if CNN’s video page doesn’t work with Firefox 3.

Is she using the Royal We or is she aware that there is a Bad Sarah, a Worse Sarah and a Fucking Godawful Sarah?

Won’t someone please, OH PLEASE, let Barbie know that the election is over and SHE LOST. Dear, you didn’t even get Miss Congeniality this time—you just flat out lost!

I am running Firefox version 3.0.3 on Vista, the CNN video works perfectly for me.  So it’s most probably a problem on your side.

Is it just me, or does anybody also not get what Palin said in the excerpt above?  More specifically the really long sentence that sounded more like a patch work of punchlines than a coherent thought.

Can we be dispensing with the ostentatious use of the goddamned gerunds already? Sitting here in our Cheeto-dusted jammies, we are blogging about the media’s taking an unfair stance, shitting as they are all over poor Governor Palin, working hard and braying like a jackass balking at an unfair caricat… at being depicted as a knowing nothing who is indiscriminately engaging in the slaying of caribou, who are really enjoying the thermal effects that are emanating from the pipelines...AW, FUCK IT!

One of the things I was SO looking forward to after last weeks election was getting a break from all things Sarah for awhile. After 8 tortuous weeks of listening to her annoying voice and mendacious bleatings , I figured that she would slink off to Alaska to steal some more taxpayer dollars , hunt a few witches , and get the fuck out of our news cycle.
But NOOOO ! Since the election , I’ve seen her hideous maw more than I’ve seen the President Elect,and it looks like she has no intention of going away anytime soon Worse still , the “liberal media” is showing every sign of keeping her in our faces 24/7 for the next 4 years.
Fuck it , kill me now!

Gee, guess Palin has reconciled herself to the evil of the “media filter.”

I say this with all due respect to Hillary Clinton … but when I hear a statement like that coming from a woman candidate with any kind of perceived whine about that excess criticism or you know maybe a sharper microscope put on her, I think you know that doesn’t do us any good – women in politics, women in general wanting to progress this country.

Sarah, could you please finish a mother fucking sentence for once? 
I have no idea what she was trying to say.  I tried putting her crazy speak through Babel Fish but it doesn’t translate from the stupid apparently.

Press Conferences, bitches!

Err…

Oh.Dear.Gawd.

Please,make it stop. I’m sick to death of seeing John McCain’s Hot Girlfriend everywhere. Enough! I felt like their whole campaign was about the quarterback and the cheerleader and how all the guys want to be him and all the girls want to be her,and..fuck it,just kill me. I left high school in the 70’s and have a kid in high school now. Enough. Gah!indeed.

We have an actual Vice President Elect now,couldn’t someone talk to him sometimes on the teevee? Just for a little while,now and then? That would be like,totally awesome. 

And for the love of what-the-fuck-ever can we hold this nonsense up as a key reason that our public schools need to be teaching civics again? Sarah Palin wouldn’t have made it past the PTA or the Homeownder’s Association or the church Mom’s group in a sane country. This isn’t a fucking pageant or “reality"teevee. People’s lives get fucked over when evil nitwits start steering the ship of government. I want some excellence with my government, damn it.

"It’s just so refreshing to hear a politician say “Gah!” - it means they’re real, just like us. Democrats might say “Gah!” but they don’t mean it, it’s phony. But Sarah means it; she gets what “Gah” is all about, and millions of real Americans get that, too.”

-Some gasbag soon to be on Fox

I think we’re all missing the link here to Cut ups/Burroughs/Gysin...she’s using their cut up text method in her every day speech!! Maybe she’s that big creepy monster/bug thing from “Naked Lunch”...I think we’re seriously underestimating the avant-garde nature of all things Palin…

Or maybe she’s just an idiot.
