Nope. For the simple reason – no, fact – that you can’t sleep through it, Elyse. We need you to keep calling bullshit and gatekeeping the best and worst of it all and rallying us to make a difference this year.
On the news here in France, they showed a young guy walking out after her speech saying, “I don’t believe it! It was a gag or something!” Of course, the French loved that…
I was struggling to put an original comment here. This whole thing is overwhelming! It can’t possibly be true but it is the new reality show. Live from Washington DC!
Oh lord. I would love, love, love it if she would just shut up. I’d be happy if she’d just lose her teeth so she would at least look as dumb as she is.
Colbert is great–I loved the tasering of the part of the brain that uses coherent speech– but I do so wish his subject matter here was not in the news again. I wish I had thought to include “the original Material Girl” in the poem I wrote about her speech. 🙂 Palin and Trump–both so awful.
BTW, I understand entirely about trying to catch up with blogs. I spent some catchup time yesterday, and still didn’t get to all of them.
I shudder when I think that there are tens of millions of registered voters in this country who think that this woman is a smart and responsible leader.
I don’t have a tv and in moments like this i feel a little sad but then remember that i have blog friends who watch, post and provide their own hilarious commentary. This country is in sooo much trouble. A commenter said she is like a gift that keeps on giving…something like the STD kind of gift.
We have close to 20 inches, and dug out after 16 — so we’ll go out again later and do another round. It’s not that heavy, heart-attack inducing snow, so we are lucky. And so far, knock wood, we still have power. That is the hardest thing we face in these storms.
So our wet clothes are drying in the dryer, the dog is curled at my feet, and I am able to blog without feeling like I should be doing my regular Saturday errands. Kind of nice for the moment!
Someone posted that she must be drunk. But I think she was always like this — severely ADHD so that her mind bounces around like a superball and can’t complete a sentence.
Seriously though – I’ve seen my share of folks with substance abuse problems… their speech patterns and mannerisms are exactly like what Palin is showing.
The Sebastian the crab bit made me LOL, but the rest made me sad because it was so very much more coherent than its subject. (Hooooooow did we get here?!)
It is so scary that we have these horrible people in the running for serious government office. So terrible that people have lost their faith in smart people to work together to solve problems. Instead, folks think that these blustering fools can change the world. And of course they would — but not at all for the better.
Oh holy crap. I READ some of that word salad, but it isn’t a comparable experience in any way to hearing it. She sounds like a parody of herself, and honestly I ended up with my mouth dropped so wide open, I drooled all over my chin. I fear many of us would lose control of much… much, bodily functions, sanity, much, if we had her in a position of power. Frightening, in truth. More scary than funny.
No no no no no no no no. I can be amused by Palin once in a while. But the idea of her being a heartbeat away from the Presidency was horrible. (Of course the idea that Donald Trump may be the GOP nominee is pretty horrible in and of itself)….
But no. Sarah had her turn. Please, dear god, deliver us from evil, amen.
It’s hard to get my wife to watch much TV after she gets off work each evening. The first hour we see our favorite shows, and then if I can slip in a Colbert after that I try to do so before she fades away completely. Well, she not only watched this one but she LAUGHED even harder than me. And then the following morning it was the first thing she mentioned! Great stuff — I pray Palin saw it somehow.
Oh man your sooooooo funny gotta read all ya blogs…. Everything is awesomeeeeeeee… Lol
