Palin is like the hubcap left over from an accident, it is fascinating but not very useful.
Paraphrased from Mike Murphy, Repug "Strategist" on morning JoeScar! referring to her repeated appearances all over the interview spectrum. Maybe she has finally reached the saturation point for repugs also?

1. 50/50
The 50% of the GOOPers you're hearing from are the most vocal...the Rushbos and other Palinistas who don't want her to go away. She's all they've got. If she vanishes so do they. She's their consolation toy...one of the few lights in a very dark forrest that just got even darker. If her light fades, they're completely left in the dark. But they're also the most dangerous...still like very caged animals. They're in total denial and think they can wish the country back to the 50's or the "days of Raygun" or 8 years ago. She's speaking code to them and they just can't let go.

Then there's the other 50%...those who see this grifter as both an embarassment and a threat, but they don't know which one is of more concern. They know she's toxic to the long term health of the party and is a threat to their own power and money bases. The wing of the party that always took the fundies for granted see her as a threat and they're hoping she's marginalizing herself.

2. To which Mikas's reply was....
"but sometimes the hubcap is so expensive, it's worth stopping to pick it up."
Mika's still spinning for her "girl crush".

3. I promised myself to never mention Mika again. She plays the role of a psychologically abused wife
to Joe Scarborough as the abuser husband. She looks at Palin as someone she would like to be like: brash, fearless...no matter if Palin is stupid and antiwoman.

8. She seems to have lost any identity she previously had when she hooked up with Scar
Her father must be disappointed in what's happened to her.
When he is a guest on their show, she reverts to a nervous, scared, 12 year old girl again.
She should have stayed a bit longer as a student at her father's feet.

11. A fat weekly paycheck from the Republikan Pay Korps will do that to some people...
Who is her father?

Any sane human being should be disappointed. Her father, whoever he is (if I am catching your inference correctly), would likely despise her as a disgusting weak-minded toady, if she wasn't his daughter, that is.

Just unbelievably disappointed in her, most likely, and trying not to think about WHAT IT MEANS anbout his daughter's mind and character.

Go ahead, FOX or M$NBC, offer me $1,000,000/yr. to be O'Reilly's Toady.

Now that I think about it, maybe I WOULD take the money and play-act just long enough so I could unleash my true feelings on air, before Cowardly Billo the Clown pulled my microphone.

I would keep on screaming and insulting him until the coward lost his cool and took a swing. He might be big (and me not so), but he is a Cowardly Bushie and soft as a soft-boiled egg behind his Bully's Front.

Then it would be MY TURN to practice "self-defense" on Billo the Clown's jaw and gut.

You know...maybe I WOULD take FOX's money...for a little while. :rofl:

13. Oh my yes, would he be disapppinted in her. Whatever one might think of Zbignew Brezinski
Edited on Thu Nov-13-08 08:50 AM by tom_paine
in terms of his politics or his sometimes PNAC-ian statements, he is likely a strong proud man who feels immeasureable disgust at seeing his daughter, who he also raised to be strong and proud (I am guessing) make her living by suckling at the teat of the most contemptible parts of American Society, besides the actual violent criminals, virulent racists and so forth.

That is The Loyal Bushei Faction, which is without doubt the most contemptible aspect of American Society, besides violent criminals and Nazis and so-forth.

And his daughter grovels at their feet in exchange for their filthy lucre.

Poor Zbignew. I feel for him. Must be like watching her turn tricks on Sixth Avenue.

God, I feel sorry for him. Probably avoids the topic of her shameful toadying "work" at family gathrerings.

Who could blame him?

Poor, poor man. I hope he has other children who have turned out to be good people, not paid toadies for serial liars. Otherwise, he's stuck with Mika Mouse. How can you respect a toady? You can't....unless you are another toady.

And I strongly suspect Zbignew Bresinski is NOT a toady like his daughter.

5. Weren't we promised a post-election reprieve from Meeka?
I swear I read a thread here about how Meeka was planning to take some time off after the election to focus on her family. Is she back already, or did that not happen?

10. Mika Mouse is laughably pathetic. The Alan Colmes of M$NBC's Morning Murderin' Joe..
:rofl:

How MUCH are they paying you, mousy? It would have to be a whole lot to get you to sell off your dignity, self-respect, and simple human decency.

Some of us wouldn't sell those off AT ANY PRICE, but explaining that to you, Mika Mouse, would be like trying to explainthe color "orange" to a person blind from birth.
