Ok, so far this Palin woman has compared herself to:

[kestrel91316]

Margaret Thatcher
Teddy Roosevelt
Harry Truman

I have a pretty good idea of the sort of person she is now. She is a self-absorbed, arrogant braggart with delusions of grandeur. And she's incompetent.

She couldn't run Wasilla so she had to hire a city manager. She used her 18 months as "governor" to seek vengeance against her perceived enemies. She thinks her PTA experience belongs on a VP candidate resume.

1. you forgot Hillary Clinton. I may have issues with Hillary but never doubted her stature

smarts and political chops.

[progressivebydesign]

2. and those in Wasilla say she was only PTA during her firstborn's first years at school.

She's sure riding that PTA train to the hilt. What an egotistical, vindictive, SMALL, person she is!

[Hello_Kitty]

3. She's George Bush. eom

[verges]

5. I think you're actually

being unfair to Bush. I truly feel Secession Sarah is way worse.

[Rabrrrrrr]

4. I was surprised by the Truman comparison, since Republicans hate him so much.

Or at least, I had thought that Republicans hated Truman.

6. Palin also calls herself 'a pitbull with lipstick.' And, as Digby pointed out:

*The phrase "pitbull with lipstick" means only one thing. So remember: Palin compared herself to a violent bitch, not Democrats, liberals, or progressives.

7. That's right..

"a violent bitch" when it comes to firing underlings who don't agree with her. A pig with lipstick when it comes to pork.

[valerief]

8. She is sooooooo Tracy Flick, just like KO called it.

:rofl:

9. Truman

No one will probably see this as the OP was 15 minutes ago, but I can't let it pass without saying something that has bothered me for some time. There ought to a law passed that no Republican can ever, ever, ever compare themselves with Harry Truman. I grew up in MO and saw Truman twice. These people couldn't, on their best day, be anything like Truman. Couldn't come close. He knew these Republicans to be frauds and wasn't afraid to tell them so. He was gutsy, not bullshitting posers like these clowns.

The only time they invoke Truman's name is when they are in the shitter because the public finally has had enough of them like Bush. Because people now acknowledge to good a president Truman was (mainly because the Republicans worked overtime to make him look bad) they pray that one day people will also think these jerks were really good. So, Lets pass a law. No more truman comparisons until they try to act like Truman.
