She’s got you just where she wants you

Not wishing to be completely sidelined in the narrative sweep of history, Sarah Palin (R-Grifterville) has twatted a small but perfectly formed malodorous pile of timely homespun wisdom for her followers:

Presumably to shoot themselves in the other foot.

Her Facebook page backs this up with the usual boilerplate rant penned by whichever of her minions was off their meds today, but with a distinct whiff of phoning it in:

With the president signing this unwanted and “transformative” government takeover of our health care system today with promises impossible to keep, let’s not get discouraged. Don’t get demoralized. Get organized!

We’re going to reclaim the power of the people from those who disregarded the will of the people. We’re going to fire them and send them back to the private sector, which has been shrinking thanks to their destructive government-growing policies. Maybe when they join the millions of unemployed, they’ll understand why Americans wanted them to focus on job creation and an invigorated private sector. Come November, we’re going to print pink slips for members of Congress as fast as they’ve been printing money.

We’re paying particular attention to those House members who voted in favor of Obamacare and represent districts that Senator John McCain and I carried during the 2008 election. Three of these House members are retiring – from Arkansas’s 2nd district, Indiana’s 8th district, and Tennessee’s 6th district – but we’ll be working to make sure that those who replace them are Commonsense Conservatives. The others are running for re-election, and we’re going to hold them accountable for this disastrous Obamacare vote. They are: Ann Kirkpatrick (AZ-1), Harry E. Mitchell (AZ-5), Gabrielle Giffords (AZ-8), John Salazar (CO-3), Betsy Markey (CO-4). Allen Boyd (FL-2), Suzanne M. Kosmas (FL-24), Baron P. Hill (IN-9), Earl Pomeroy (ND-AL), Charlie Wilson (OH-6), John Boccieri (OH-16), Kathy Dahlkemper (PA-3), Christopher Carney (PA-10), John M. Spratt, Jr. (SC-5), Tom Perriello (VA-5), Alan B. Mollohan (WV-1), and Nick J. Rahall II (WV-3).

We’ll aim for these races and many others. This is just the first salvo in a fight to elect people across the nation who will bring common sense to Washington. Please go to sarahpac.com and join me in the fight.

Stand tall, America. Real change is coming!

- Sarah Palin

Which I think boils down to “Send money!”

In other Palinoid news, Atilla the Driller Killer from Wasilla is reported to be close to clinching that deal for the “reality” show she’s been toutin’ round:

Sources say Discovery Communications has edged out rival A&E Networks in the bidding for the project, titled “Sarah Palin’s Alaska.” An agreement could be announced in the next few days.

It’s still undecided which network in the Discovery suite would air “Alaska,” which is being produced by Mark Burnett Productions.

Although travelogues are on brand for the Discovery flagship, having Palin as a centerpiece also makes the show a fit for mom-friendly TLC. Clearly nature docs are still viable for the company—Discovery’s latest effort in genre, the miniseries “Life,” just debuted to 11.8 million viewers on Sunday night.

Given Ms. Palin’s past tendencies when in the proximity of Alaska’s wildlife, I’m not clear what sort of moms this multi-million-dollar spectacular will be friendly to, but I guess it takes all sorts.

I’m thinking Life On Earth with added gratuitous fragging.

Whoa hey, look at this:

HANNITY: If it’s a strong conservative that gets the Republican nomination and then a tea party member runs as a third party candidate, do you have any worry about that?

PALIN: I do have a little bit of worry about that but at the same time that can be part of a healthy process, though. A third party candidate can really shore-up a Republican candidate in terms of that Republican candidate having to be very strong and sharp and debate aggressively, regarding the positions that they have taken.

A third party candidate, I think, Sean, can actually help in this process. And if nothing else a third party candidate is going to help keep the Republican Party being held accountable, too.

She appears to be warming to the idea, which she criticized very recently. Maybe Rupert Murdoch told her there’s no fucking way she’s getting the GOP nomination.

PS: Palin must love appearing on Hannity. There’s absolutely no chance that drooling moron could spring a trick question like, “What newspapers do you read?” on her.

That first bit is classic wingnut.  As I noted over at RWPD recently, the wingnuts are moving into their “let’s encourage violence, while making sure that we have enough wiggle room to deny we ever did this, in case some nutcase actually takes all our talk seriously” phase.  Because, let’s be honest—for most of these assholes, this nothing more than a sad attempt to play soldiers, and the rhetoric is just them reminding themselves that yes, they are the tough, brave ones.  Right now, this is about swabbing their sad little egos.  That this little one-handed exercise could help get somebody killed—well, it’s not their fault.  When they said “fight them in the streets” they didn’t literally mean “fight them in the streets”.  We should all know that by now.
