Apocalypse talk is catching on!
And on Monday, John Weaver, McCain’s closest political adviser for much of the past decade, said that he was nearly certain that the former governor would never be the Republican nominee and added that, if she was, “it would surely mean a political apocalypse is upon us.”
Steve Schmidt goes with the more moderate “catastrophic” in describing a possible Palin nomination.
Perhaps I’m being overly dramatic here, but a Palin presidency and the end of the world are inextricably linked in my mind.
Update. Can you think of some clever word or phrase combining “apocalypse” with the words “Sarah Palin” or words associated with Sarah Palin? You guys are good at this stuff.

yeah, I agree, if Palin were to be elected I think I’d prefer Apocalypse. Although, on reconsideration, if I really thought she was going to get in perhaps I’d go the other route and descend rapidly into sex and drugs, sort of the way the Europeans split between penitentials and ecstatic perverts at the time of the black death.

That’s the disturbing thing — a lot of Palin’s supporters say that her appeal is that she’s emblematic of the theory that anybody can be President. They really seem to forget that yes, anybody can be President, just like anybody can do any particular job…IF they have the brains and work hard to develop the skills.
You wouldn’t want some unqualified dumbass performing brain surgery on you, so why are they so damned eager to have an unqualified dumbass running their country?

I think it’s more narrowly focused than that. They’re saying if she is nominated, then that would be a clear sign that the GOP is lost as a national party. The Know-nothings in the middle of the 19th century were able to do little more than tear apart a national party, and perhaps that is what the Palinista movement will do, after a troubling time.

After eight years of Bush, I’m confident we could suffer through a term of Palin. Odds are she’d quit before the end of the year, on account’a governing being such a chore and all.
The worst of the Bush years came out of DeLay and Frist, Rumsfeld, Gonzales, Ashcroft, and Cheney. Giving those yahoos the keys to the kingdom again is what really scares me. But put Bush/Palin in office with guys like Gates and Rice and Powell at his side, and I’m betting he’d get a lot of brush cleared and that’s about it.
Keep in mind that before 9/11, people were already calling Bush a lame duck. As an administrator, Palin simply doesn’t know how to get anything done. The GOP needs everyone to jump on board the fail train with them, or they can’t get any serious bullshit out the door.
It’s worth keeping in mind that the worst sins of the Bush Administration – Iraq, tax cuts, the Patriot Act – all had Democrat co-sponsors.

My guess is that there is a significant faction in the Republican party that likes have personable, telegenic dumbasses for President because (1) they are easy to control, and (2) it makes it less likely that the people who are actually running things behind the scenes are less likely to get caught.
I think two of the last three Republican presidents were chosen by party leaders for exactly those reasons.

You wouldnât want some unqualified dumbass performing brain surgery on you, so why are they so damned eager to have an unqualified dumbass running their country?
If you’re a Repig, you think of the presidency as an unquestionable, infallible semi-diety, a magical figurehead whose primary qualification should be making you feel good about your various group identities and giving simpleton-slogan-packed speeches; being able to perform executive duties is almost irrelevant.
It reminds me of something I read about a meeting of corporate CEOs in 2004. When asked who they were voting for, three quarters put their hands up for Bush. When asked would they hire Bush as CEO of their company, not a single hand in the room was raised.

Here’s some of the relevant verses (with updates) from Revelation 16:
And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Sarahgeddon. (16)
And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the Wasilla air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. Also. (17)
And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings, and sparkles; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. And, you know, mighty. So mighty. You betcha. (18)
That’s all I got so far. Here are the last three verses of Rev. 16 if somebody wants to have at them. I’ve gotta go…
And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. (19)
And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. (20)
And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great. (21)

Lots of good suggestions! To remind people of another classic, I will add:
“Apocalypse in what respect, Charlie?”

@Drew:
Don’t think I ever heard her refer to them as snowmobiles so wouldn’t it be “The Four Snowmachinemen of the Apocalypse”?

The first thing I thought of was ” I beheld a pale moose…” but a bunch of you got there first. I’d go with that.

I always liked the palindrone as a term for her hubby, and I can see the palinocons supplanting the neocons as successors to the paleocons, but sorry – nothing apocalypse-related comes to mind.

Or, The Four Moose of the Apocalypse

@General Winfield Stuck: And for, also, the Apocalypse, too.

Geddy, Alex and I vote for Sarahpocalypse
Redshift
If it’s the end of the world we’re talking about, then I like Sarahpocalypse, but if we’re talking about Weaver’s “political apocalypse,” then I’d go with GOPocalypse.
(But I guess that one is actually a lot broader. So many signs of the GOPocalypse…)

Dammit…too busy at work today to join in. But, just for the record, I submit:
Apocalypse, Also: The Palend of Times.

@Drew:
“Alaskalypse”. Also.
General Winfield Stuck
The Front Porch of the Apocalypse (or how I stopped worrying and learned to love Russia)
fashionably lame, eh?

Got here late, was hoping no one would have gotten in ahead of me with what I thought was the obvious winner, but you nailed it. Well played, sir.

At first I thought you wrote Palindrome, which is of course a.) a type of word of which Palin has absolutely no idea; and b.) a hellish and sadistic arena where godless liberals will serve out their remaining miserable days following Sarahgeddon…

@chrome agnomen:
That’s even fun to say.
And as “a palingularity”, could be used frequently these days.
Also fun – fifth hit when I googled “singularity” and “meaning”:
http://www.aleph.se/Trans/Global/Singularity/
“A palingularity is a black hole in the reactionary worldview whose density is so intense that no light can be shed on what lies behind it.”

Seriously, you have such a wonderful ability to distill the essence of the thing into one well crafted phrase. I nominate this as the 2009 successor to “I can see the moon from my house, but that doesn’t make me a fucking astronaut.”

get aboard the you betcha cruise and aerial wolf hunt, organized by the national review online and townhall.com, parah sailin’ to the apocalypse, hitting every iceberg on the way to victory in 2012, too. also.

Sarageddon is my favorite so far, but I also like Sarah Palinopocalypse.

@dadanarchist:
No, that would be the Palin-dome.

Palinopocalypse rhymes with Stephanopolus.

Is Palin O’pocalypse an Irish name?
