The "Wasilla Gorilla" weighs in on the "FINAL FOUR" (LOL)
March Madness battles rage! My family and I join millions of Americans enjoying college basketball’s finest through March Madness. Underdogs always get my vote as we watch intense competition bring out the best in these accomplished teams.

The Final Four is an intense, contested series (kind of like a heated, competitive primary election), so best of luck to all teams, and watch for this principle lived out: the team that wins is the team that wants it more.

To the teams that desire making it this far next year: Gear up! In the battle, set your sights on next season’s targets! From the shot across the bow – the first second’s tip-off – your leaders will be in the enemy’s cross-hairs, so you must execute strong defensive tactics. You won’t win only playing defense, so get on offense! The crossfire is intense, so penetrate through enemy territory by bombing through the press, and use your strong weapons – your Big Guns – to drive to the hole. Shoot with accuracy; aim high and remember it takes blood, sweat and tears to win.

Focus on the goal and fight for it. If the gate is closed, go over the fence. If the fence is too high, pole vault in. If that doesn’t work, parachute in. If the other side tries to push back, your attitude should be “go for it.” Get in their faces and argue with them. (Sound familiar?!) Every possession is a battle; you’ll only win the war if you’ve picked your battles wisely. No matter how tough it gets, never retreat, instead RELOAD!

- Sarah Palin


This woman is so stupid we need to enlist MIT and RPI to figure how dumb she is on a quantum level.
I'm not sure they can do it.

I never can get their damn link to post.
You know where it's at anyway.

3. That sounds like something from one of those really bad Ronald Reagan 1930s B&W movies.
SNL should use this.

4. Is this a joke? Palin is stealing and repeating exactly what Nancy Pelosi said about healthcare!
"You can always find a way," she told the skeptical columnists and pundits gathered in her office. If the election results close one door to reforming the health-care system, you go to the gate; if the gate's locked, you climb over the fence; if it's too high, you pole-vault in; and if that doesn't work, you parachute in.

16. My theory
She blatantly stole Pelosi's words and tried to make it obvious using this "(Sound familiar?!)" She knows it's Pelosi's words and wants readers to know she knows it.

She put it in the middle of her fighting and violent rhetoric to create a false equivalency between what she has said and what Pelosi said. In effect, I have said this but Pelosi said similar things as well.

BUT, it does not work because there is no equivalency between "battle ... targets... shot... crossfire... enemy territory... weapons... big guns... blood..." -- look at all of this violent imagery these words create -- and Pelosi's words "goal... fight... go for it... argue... Pelosi's words evoke an image of drive, standing your ground and perseverance.

She's trying to play rhetorical tricks but failing big time because the logic just doesn't hold up. But this allows her to continue sending out her dog whistles -- and you can bet those who are prone to violence and anger are hearing these words loud and clear -- while trying to create some cover for herself. "Who, me?"

5. Dayum, this is so freaking transparent.
No, Sarah, you don't get to claim your ongoing violent political language is acceptable by packing a March Madness blog post with a transparently absurd amount of warfare metaphors. It doesn't work that way.

9. Is this The Onion?
She really didn't write this did she? For real? No one could really be that sophomoric?

Shit that was stupid. I think my IQ dropped a few points just from reading it.

10. LOL. Could this bitch be any more transparent? Or stupid?
Use ridiculous overuse of hunting metaphores is her way of telling the media . .. . neener neener, I don't care what you say. GUNS GUNS GUNS.

She starts with baseball metaphores and then moves to shooting/hunting?

She is scary stupid. And childish.
