1. Done
What on earth do these people see in Palin that I don't? I think they see something they want to see, instead of what actually is. So delusional.

2. Reading the comments, I'm more than happy that these people like Palin
First of all, she will never be the Republican candidate in any year due to the fact that she shot at the RNC leadership.

They remember this stuff.

Also, nearly all the GOP candidates running in 2012 are or were governors and only a fool would not remind everyone that Palin can't hack it and is a quitter.

She has her followers, but there is no way she will win Iowa nor New Hampshire nor South Carolina. She will be entertaining to watch run if only because she will provide more fodder for comedians.

3. When you consider the competition there, it's no surprise she won
Let's see...
number two is Pigboy.

number three is a black teabagger named Kenneth Gladney.

number four is Glenn Beck.

number five is the head of the Congressional Budget Office, who according to Surber "seems to be cranking out numbers the White House does not like." Uhh...that's what they do.

number six is the man who bought The Greenbrier hotel in West Virginia and built a casino in it.

number seven are 23 actual heroes who won the Carnegie Hero Medal.

number eight are Boehner and McConnell.

number nine is Sully Sullenberger.

number ten is the female member of the team who went around "trying to get business advice from ACORN on running a whorehouse."

number eleven is one of the big names in the Climate Change Denial Business.

number twelve is Rick Santelli.

number thirteen is the cop who busted Professor Gates at the professor's own home.

number fourteen is Andrew Breitbart, right-wing webmaster

and number 15 is the man who jumped the underwear bomber.

Remove from this list the head of the CBO (who got on here for doing what CBO heads have ALWAYS done), the Carnegie heroes, Sully and Jasper Schuringa, and what are you left with? The Right Wing Do Nothing Hall of Fame. You could arguably take the guy who bought the hotel off, since he rehired a lot of people and sunk quite a bit of money into this place, but what leaves him on the list, at least to me, is the casino. So...Sarah Palin seems to be the right man to be Man of the Year on this list of worthlessies.

Let's giggle a little: "Had Obama's mansion deal received one-tenth the scrutiny that her shopping for clothes received..." << IIRC Obama saved up his book royalties and paid cash for his home. Now, if Sarah Palin's mansion deal had received one-tenth the scrutiny that her shopping for clothes received, her favorite Bible phrase would be Matthew 25:36: I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.

"Tagging Obamacare as having 'death panels' rattled the lefty cages and woke up Americans to the rationing of health care that was right around the bend." << It also earned her the Lie of the Year award. Unfortunately it didn't wake right wing America up to the rationing of health care that's already in the system. Sorry, guys, that's how it works.

"The Washington Post's book reviewer bragged that she did not read Sarah Palin's book." << No, she stuck to weightier, more substantial tomes like Spider-Man comics.

"The people who shop at Wal-Mart bought one million copies of her autobiography in just two weeks." << I didn't know Richard Mellon Scaife shopped at Walmart.

"She beat corruption in Wasilla. She beat corruption in Alaska." << She HERSELF is corrupt. Let's start with her house, which was built by the same contractors who built the Wasilla Sports Complex. And you can read more at http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122065537792905483.html, It also seems that Palin's house has the EXACT SAME WINDOWS as the Wasilla Sports Complex, which to most right-wingers wouldn't matter: "So what?" Well, "so what" is you don't put commercial windows in a residence--they're really expensive and they're made differently.

"She did this despite nearly universal adulation in the press for him and nearly universal condemnation in the press for her." << This confirms our suspicions that Fox News, MSNBC, CNN and the rest aren't actually "the press." If running down Democrats and the president counts as adulation and treating Sarah Palin as if she's the Second Coming is condemnation, I have five feet and six hands.

"She does not hide who she is." << No, she just hides.

"There is no one underneath her bus." << Well, except for all the people she threw there...

"The question anymore is not whether she is ready for the presidency..." << Only true statement here. No one asks that question because we know the answer: No. And she probably never will be,

Basically, this is teabagger whacking material. Palin will never run for president not because she doesn't want to face "hostile" press, but because the closet with her skeletons in it is large and has a poor lock.

6. Yes, it's a little pathetic IF this person is not a paid operative:
"Sarah Palin is the strongest, toughest, most determined woman I have ever seen ...She is a natural leader of all men. A great leader. I think she was born to lead this nation to greatness again. The very best America has to offer."

The foregoing is worthy of --->:puke::puke::puke::puke::puke: Rating

Let's see if we can knock down the number by 50 with some evening buzz downs. It's on the first page, #14 now. Last bump.

9. Palin Supporters Encourage Harassment of Alaska Judges?
Edited on Tue Jan-05-10 07:51 PM by Blue_In_AK
Palin v. Johnston Custody Battle Takes a Nasty Turn. http://www.themudflats.net/2010/01/05/palin-supporters-encourage-harassment-of-alaska-judges-in-palin-v-johnston-custody-case/



Just when you thought things couldn’t sink any lower, they drain the pool and start digging.

There are new developments in the recently disclosed Bristol Palin v. Levi Johnston custody case. The Palin half of Palin v. Johnston wanted to keep the identities of the parties pseudonymous – Jane and John Doe. Of course, a custody hearing in Wasilla, Alaska between Jane Doe represented by Palin’s high-profile lawyer, and John Doe represented by Johnston’s equally high-profile lawyer couldn’t have stayed off the radar for long.

Palin’s argument was that the case would be traumatic for their 12-month old son Tripp. Johnston claimed that the trial, if kept secret, would allow the Palins to operate under the radar, allowing potential bad behavior from Sarah Palin in particular to occur out of the sunlight.

<snip>

Others, outside of Alaska have created a Facebook Group with a posting as follows:



“Tripp is not a Political Football”

We want to thank everyone for their time and attention to this matter. Over the Holidays; Superior Court Judge Kari C. Kristiansen issued a ruling under the authority of Superior Court Judge Sharon Gleason. The ruling was a denial to keep the Custody dispute Between Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston over 1 year old Tripp closed.

Judge Kristiansen sited there was no reason to keep this matter private. The Palin’s trying to keep the proceedings focused on Tripp, fought for the closing of the proceedings. Levi Johnston argued for an open proceeding. The Decision raises many concerns of Political Hanky Panky; but even more, cannot be justified to be in the best interest of a 1 year old child.

Both of the Judges are appointees of Former Governor Tony Knowles–(Democrat). Both of the Judges are up for retention. Fancy for Re-Appointment in 2010. <<---Editor's pick for best sentence in Facebook post> Both have been accused of activist liberal rulings prior.

The Law in Alaska without doubt provides for the closing of a proceeding. The best interest of the child, or other mitigating circumstances is the guide. There is no question both elements are in play here.

We here believe this decision is either one of the worst in Alaskan History; or is in fact: a Politically motivated attempt to harm or perhaps payback Sarah Palin. Perhaps elements of both could also be correct. Barracuda Brigade for Our American Girl! 2012 has decided, since the Judges want a public proceeding; to give them one.

This the address for both Judges. 2004–Attn: Judge Sharon Gleason/Attn: Judge Kari C. Kristiansen

Judge Gleason’s phone: 907-***-****
Judge Kristiansen’s phone: 907-***-****

The Judicial Review Commission of Alaska is set-up in a way, that any protest to them would be handled in this situation by: Judge Sharon Gleason—yep–that is why she had Judge Kristiansen hand down the decision.

The next level up is the Governor, Sean Parnell. His phone is–907-465-3500, fax–907-465-3532. See link below; under contact: will take you to his e-mail.

The “Tripp is not a Political Football” protest will formally begin on Thursday Jan. 7th at 12pm. cst. We ask all concerned to call, fax and e-mail Governor Parnell: also to call and write both Judges and let them know: Patriots across America find your actions a disgrace to the Judicial system. That our concerns are being directed to the Governor’s Office.

The actual Court record will be available shortly, along with the list of retention.
We thank you for your time and concern—-Dave & Alicia



<snip>

What will actually happen on January 7th at noon Central Standard Time remains to be seen, but one thing in certain. Sarah Palin’s divisive influence and ability to fan the flames of anger and vitriol among her supporters continues, and enters uncharted territory. Let’s hope we see a Facebook post from her condemning this national campaign against Alaskan judges.




I wouldn't hold my breath...
