Embarrassing Yourself on Facebook Is The Palinmerican Way

[Swede]

Could've been one old surly heartbeat away from the WH.


From Willow's homophobic Facebook rant to Sarah's confusing and misspelled political "notes" to Bristol's counterattacks on Keith Olberman and Margaret Cho, the Palin family can't resist the siren song of Facebook, the preferred venue of passive aggressive jerks. Ladies: stop.

Appealing to Facebook when you have a beef with someone is just about the least direct and constructive way to advance dialogue. It's snotty and shields you from direct counterattack, and thus it's the perfect venue for Sarah Palin and her ilk to not-communicate with the people whom they feel have wronged them. Responding to adversity by posting something on Facebook is like being angry with a coworker and rather than directly discussing an issue with them, at their desk, face to face, you email the entire office. Or, like, email an entirely different department and sit back in your desk, crossing your arms across your chest, satisfied with a job well done.

And this lady was how close to the White House? Unbelievable.

3. That is so effing true. It's like my Jr. High kids used to be.

Two girls will get into it over something stupid. But instead of talking to each other, they each talk to their other friends, who then talk to each other. It gets worse and worse until the two girls' brothers get involved and have a big fistfight in the hallway. Can we all just be adults for a fucking minute?
