Helen is back, but Palin has defeated her
I got halfway through Sarah’s book and quit. Quitting is not like me, but I figure if Sarah can quit pretty much everything she starts then I can quit her book. She can’t write worth a damn but she can certainly draw a crowd… then again, so can a train wreck.

Life is never difficult in her world. There is never anything to ponder. There is no thought… no debate. The world is simply black and white… oil and snow. Her approach to politics is simple. Government shouldn’t do anything. Because doing something would need thought. And thought is too much to ask from Sarah Palin. She has other things to do like getting even with anyone who has ever exposed her stupidity.
---------
So, Margaret, I am done with her book. But I fear that I am not done with Sarah. Like Harold’s gas, she has a way of sticking around despite how much you want it to go away. And I mean “it”. Really.

Welcome back, Helen, we were getting a bit worried.

7. Second to last sentence is pretty good too!
"Sarah. Like Harold’s gas, she has a way of sticking around despite how much you want it to go away."

2. There are a lot of doors in Palin's world....and all she has to do is go through them,


sort of like a modern-day Alice in Wonderland.

4. I quit reading her book before I even started.
From "Going Rogue Without a Condom" (below the linked article, same page) which pans the first chapter of Palin's book:

"And Sarah’s favorite words - patriotic, patriot and patriotism - populate her paragraphs like children conceived out of wedlock populate her family tree..."

5. Palin plays an important role in the conspiracy to insure a pro CorpAmerica
candidate wins the WH. CorpAmerica has decided that the general public isnt buying the "Vote for the Idiot", after eight years of the Idiot Son of Barbara. So CorpAmerica realizes that the public wants change. Therefor CorpAmerica is providing that change by switching from supporting Corp-Repubs to Corp-Dems. But they dont want the Repubs to run a good conservative candidate like Goldwater or Eisenhower because that would draw votes from their Corp-Dem candidate. So they have Palin, guaranteed to drive the conservatives to the Corp-Dem (otherwise known as conserva-Dems or Blue Dogs) candidate.

With this strategy the Corp-Dems dont need the left to get elected. Is any of this sounding familiar?

I know, I know, its the cheap vodka speaking.

6. As Long As Sarah Palin Does Nothing and Finishes Nothing
The world is safe to develop democracy. Again.
