Sarah Palin's Small-Town Downfall Has Begun

[Swede]

Lots of great comments.

Earlier this year, Palin used her clout with Alaska State Police to get 16 year-old Willow Palin off the hook after she and some high school buddies trashed a vacant home during a bender. The other kids were hung out to dry, and Alaska's Mat-Su Valley boiled at the injustice of Willow's preferential treatment. We warned that Palin should watch her back lest small-town high school drama explode in national scandal.

There's no scandal yet. But small-town drama has indeed bled into Palin's national profile. Crack Palin-debunking journalist Joe McGinniss moved right next door to Palin on Sarah Palin Lane in Wasilla, where he's planning to write his next book—on Sarah Palin. Now Glenn Beck is threatening to boycott McGinniss' publisher and Palin is putting up a huge fence and making fun of the guy on Facebook and everything.

1. Good..Joe can put that in his book.

[David Zephyr]

2. David Lynch should make a film about Wasilla and the Palins.

Oh, I forgot, he already did: it was Blue Velvet.

AAAGGGG!! :)

3. She is known to be Cheney/Nixonlike in her paranoia

And that's not the kind of leadership that we can have in America.

4. I don't see how this is the beginning of her downfall

The media built her up, and she'll stay up until they decide to tear her down. They may not decide to do that for quite a while yet.

[scarletwoman]

6. She certainly remains a popular subject of discussion here on DU.

It seems that there are new threads about Palin daily. If DUers are that fascinated with her, why in the world would they expect the Corporate Media to stop giving her attention?

12. We talk about her

for the same reason you would talk about a 20-car pileup on the interstate or a natural disaster--you just can't look away because it's so horrible.

[DBoon]

13. yes, but we no longer concern outselves with Paris Hilton these days

natural disasters are fickle

[glitch]

9. The true beginning of her downfall resides on the left butt cheek of a soldier in Afghanistan.

Buttface Palin, you can find the details on DU's Greatest Page. Mark my words, this is where it begins.

[DavidDvorkin]

16. My eyes still hurt from that picture.

[glitch]

20. I have memory burn from it. I hope it's not permanent. :shudder: nt

[Motown_Johnny]

5. My suggestion for Mr. McGinnis

the age old past time of "Flag Pole Sitting"

[michreject]

17. Wouldn't she just buy some woodpeckers?

Or termites?

[theothersnippywshrub]

18. Shadow Fence Building Dude wouldn't like that. n/t

[KamaAina]

7. Sarah Palin Lane??

Let me guess: you can only make right turns off of it, and it's a dead-end street??

[Walk away]

8. It seems to me that it's the beginning of Willow's career on the talk show circuit as....

the poster child for sober. Maybe if she keeps sloshing it up she'll be able to out earn her abstinence loving, teenage breeder of a sister giving talks to fundie teens.

I'll bet the family is sorry that they shipped that petty criminal of a son off to Iraq. He could be raking in the bucks. I can't wait until Trig and Trip pick their deviancy. Will they be drug addicts or foot fetishists?

10. I can't believe you forgot Piper!!!!

[catzies]

21. Piper is my favorite Palin! Such a sweet child.

[troubledamerican]

14. RapePublican presidents need not be elected or legitimate or sane. Have you forgotten?

[handmade34]

15. Ma Palin, Tear Down That Wall!

[XanaDUer]

19. Joe deconstructed that sociopath Dr. Jeff MacDonald

It'll be inneresting to see what he does with the Palins.
