Sarah Palin Idiocy Out Of Control

[IMG][/IMG]

Um, Sarah? Are you feeling okay?

As you may know, Sarah Palin's got a new online subscription channel, a haven for people who want to pay money to mourn the brutal murder of democracy at the hands of lib'rals led by noted radical socialist Obama and his TLC, that is Terrorism-Lovin' Care (Act). In general we all know what to expect from Palin, but I gotta say, even I did not expect this level of inarticulateness in this clip from her channel.

In the clip, she aims to dig at Elizabeth Warren, but instead gets tangled in her biblical references and general muddled disdain. Here's the text to really drive home how unintelligible the sounds issuing from her mouth are:

"We believe"? Wait, I thought fast food joints, hurh. Don't you guys think that they're like of the Devil or somethin' I was. Liberals, you want to send those evil employees who would dare work at a fast food joint then ya just don't believe in, thought you wanted to, I dunno, send them to Purgatory or somethin' so they all go VEGAN and, uh, wages and picket lines I dunno they're not often discussed in Purgatory, are they? I dunno why are you even worried about fast food wages because dha.

Well, we believe an America where minimum wage jobs they're not lifetime gigs they're stepping stone"

except poor, hypomanic Sarah, herself? Have religious right wingers have become that dumb?

50 years ago, she'd have been picked up, given a loading dose of Thorazine into her bony arse, and put into a hospital where she'd talk to men in white coats until the drugs kicked in and she realized she needed to take them when she went home or her family would sign her right back in. Now we have better drugs and her stay would be weeks rather than months. Unfortunately, the cash flow is positive so Todd won't sign her in.

Lobotomies had been reserved for the patients who did the most acting out. I took care of one woman who had been lobotomized twice in the 1940s because she remained violent. Too bad penicillin came out too late to cure her syphilis in time.

As for Farmer, her sensationalized story of a lobotomy is being seen as being made of whole cloth, not true, at all. While permission had been given by her mother and sister, her father was adamant that she not undergo such an experimental procedure. What she did undergo was insulin shock therapy, something that killed off a considerable number of her brain cells, anyway.

The studios had put her into treatment because she was an atheist and a Communist and didn't care who knew it, thus destroying her career and costing them money. They wanted a more tractable star. She sealed her fate when she flipped out at her sanity hearing.

or she could look at facts. For many, minimum or near minimum wage jobs are a lifetime gig, when they are "lucky" enough to have one.

Feel extremely sorry for her for never being diagnosed....

You see I have seen this before mostly in children since they usually get diagnosed and trained to over come as much as possible the misfire of neurons to the speech center...

This is a pretty Serious case of FTD (formal thought disorder) Probably coupled with Bi-polar and it appears she's never been diagnosed or given treatment....

I cant laugh at her anymore...i pity her terribly and wish she gets treatment.

If she had any, she'd never try to do extemporaneous, stream-of-consciousness communication. Stick to a script and teleprompter, Sarah...you really are embarrassing yourself. I suspect this will be the last, off-the-cuff remarks from Sarah on her channel. Even her most devoted fans have got to be giving her negative feedback on this incoherent, disjointed rambling. If it is drugs/alcohol...she needs help.
