I was going to write about Sarah Palin’s editorial in The Washington Post (“Now With More Crayon!”), but after reading Steve M.‘s post I figured, why bother?

oops. also.

Now we need one of those geniuses at writing analysis to tell us who really wrote this column.  I’m guessing Bill Ayers…

This whole Palin circus is just a midget shy of a David Lynch movie.

There are days when you thank God that 65% of Alaska is owned and managed by the Federal government, rather than being subject to the administrative brilliance of Gov. Vanilla Ice (“Drill, Drill, Baby”).

Someone must have told her that the road to the White House is paved with Jack-Handy-style inspirational Twitters and ghosted campaign boilerplate disguised as “editorials” and dumbed-down for the benefit of her cave-dwelling base.

Soon, even the most ardent liberal will understand supply-side economics.

I’m assuming that says “liberal,” because whoever wrote the editorial realized that neither Palin nor her supporters would know what “Keynesian” means.

Of course, a really crafty political hack would have instinctively swapped-out “supply-side economics” for “Reaganomics,” just so there’d be no doubt whose grave she was robbing to score cheap points.

I’m assuming that says “liberal,” because whoever wrote the editorial realized that neither Palin nor her supporters would know what “Keynesian” means.

I’d love it someone slipped “Keynesian” into one of her speeches, just to see how she’d pronounce it.

The WaPoo is Palin around with idiots.

Follow up interviews will be 24k Comedy Gold. Her claims that all of the questions by people who actually read what she “wrote” were Gotcha’s by MSM partisan LIEburul meanies will be platinum.

The writer, a Republican, is governor of Alaska

I suppose 1 out of 3 ain’t bad

It took me ages to figure out why the likes of Bush and Palin pronounce “nuclear” the way they do.

I finally figured they read it as nucle plus ar. No idea why it took me so long.

On that model, I’d expect her pronunciation to be Kee-NEEZ-ian.

I’d love some economics wonk TV show to invite her on to defend her thesis. She’d be caught between flattery and being flattened. Popcorn time.

Yeah, but which one?

Fantasy interview:

“Gov. Palin, as you know, over time, many macroeconomists have returned to the IS-LM model and the Phillips Curve as a first approximation of how an economy works. New versions of the Phillips Curve, such as the ‘Triangle Model,’ allow for stagflation, since the curve can shift due to supply shocks or changes in built-in inflation. In the 1990s, the original ideas of ‘full employment’ had been modified by the NAIRU doctrine, sometimes called the ‘natural rate of unemployment.’

“On this point, would you identify your own policies more closely with the Monetarists or the Austrian School?”

Thanks, Wiki.

In what respect, Charlie?

Allan FTW!

wtf?  Sarah Palin WRITES?  What’s this world coming to?  Next she’ll be working on that whole thinkin’thing also. This is chaos!  Dogs and cats living together type chaos.

I wonder if anyone will ask her about the “hungry markets” for Alaskan natural gas that she keeps harping on.  Based on the discussion at the Mudflats site and the links that many of the commenters provide, there aren’t even “well maybe just one more slice” markets in the lower 48.  Natural gas reserves are pretty abundant down here and prices are low.  It’s questionable whether the pipeline will ever get built considering the fact that it has to go across Canada which creates a whole raft of issues, and the cost of the resulting gas would probably be very high compared to what’s being produced here.

So far, the pipeline project hasn’t moved beyond vague letters of intent, promises of public funds, a “license” and a predictable buy-in from ExxonMobil in order to make sure its Northern Slope gas reserves are the ones that get tapped by whatever the fuck this pipeline is, whenever the fuck someone gets around to building it.

Everyone’s waiting to hear the words “ginormous perpetual tax exemption” and see an at-the-spigot price-point for natural gas that makes building $26 billion dollars’ and 1700 miles’ worth of pain-in-the-ass, high-maintenance, cathodic-corrosion nightmares seem like a bottom-line-smart idea.

It’s gonna be awhile.

Sarah Palin WRITES?

Actually she thumps her pumps on the floor, and Bristol transcribes it.

AKA The Bristol Stomp.

Thank you! I’ll be here all week.

Boy, I sure can call ‘em. This, from a PJM thread:

24. t.g.:

She raised 200k after her resignation. If you think she’s dumb just read her op’ed in wapo.

I liked most the part about liberals being able to understand supply-side economics.

Yep. Palin snipes at stoopid liebruls, base gets starbursts in its pants, spurring Palin to more sniping, base gets more starbursts until a thermonuclear starburst takes out the whole rotten bunch.
