Count Me In: February is Palin-free Month
By: Pamela Leavey
January 21st, 2011 @ 9:13 pm

Dana Milbank at the WaPo has declared that February will be Palin-free month. I’ve thought for a longtime that everytime Palin gets a mention in the news, on the blogs, on the radio, TV, wherever… She is continuing to be empowered to do and say the inane and insulting things she does and says. That’s why I am joining Dana Milbank and pledging to be Palin-free for the month of February and perhaps beyond:

With enough support, I believe we may even be able to extend the moratorium beyond one month, but we are up against a powerful compulsion, and we must take this struggle day by day.

The logic via Milbank:

Palin clearly isn’t going away: “I am not going to sit down. I’m not going to shut up,” she told Hannity on Monday. But if we treat her a little less like a major political figure and a little more like Ann Coulter — a calculating individual who says shocking things to attract media attention — it won’t matter.

Sarah Palin has been given far more attention and far more influence than ever deserved. It’s time to turn that around… I Pledge To Be Palin-free.

1. I've always treated her like Ann Coulter

in the way I deal with her presence on the planet, so I'm good on that.

Now maybe the media will follow through too.

2. I pledge to not write about and also hide Palinesque threads...

:evilgrin:

3. Ignoring that person is the best way to remove her from our consciousness.

[patrice]

4. K&R - Yes.

[meegbear]

5. I'd rather have in January, March, May, July, August, October, or December ...

they have 31 days.

6. K & R. One good sign----

She gave a speech to the Safari Club convention in Reno Saturday night and I haven't seen ANY national coverage.

7. if this were to happen, her dresses would just get shorter. n/t.

[Arkansas Granny]

8. I'll take that pledge.

[bobburgster]

9. Oh crap!

at first read I thought you said, Pain-free Month, oh well, Palin-free should reduce my emotional pain.....can you add Bachman?

[RufusTFirefly]

10. Count me in

I've always felt that she fed on publicity and that she ultimately didn't care whether it was positive or negative.

[Raschel]

14. She makes money because she's so polarizing. The right brags her up, we tear her down.

But if the media and the right continue to treat her as a normal, viable consideration for any public office, it's my duty to point out her lack of intelligence, her dishonesty, and her hypocrisy.

As long as they don't mention her, I won't either.

11. Mixed feelings--Alot of Repugs didn't vote in 2008 cuz of her

She's the number 1 reason a lot of Repugs are independents.

Her idiocy is the gift that keeps on giving

[JustAnotherGen]

12. Rec

Let's do this at DU too! :-)

[warrior1]

[monmouth]

15. Please send this memo to Arianna. Three different articles on their homepage.

I rarely go over there anymore, disgusting.

[IDemo]

16. I've added http://*palin*.jpg to my AdBlock Plus filter list

I don't need to be reminded every hour what that grinnin' idjit looks like.

[PADemD]

17. Can we get Ed Schultz and Chris Matthews to sign up, too?

[edbermac]

18. What have you got against Monty Python?

Some people have no sense of humor.

[arbusto_baboso]

19. From your mouth to God's ear.

Somehow, though, I don't think we'll be getting that kind of reprieve.

[Broderick]

20. Wish it started today

[intheflow]

21. Unrec'd, because why wait until tomorrow?

Just stop talking about her, period.

[progressoid]

lifetime!
