I see Randy Scheunemann posted another idiotic message to Sarah Palin’s facebook page, so I guess we all know what the topic of discussion will be Sunday morning.

Is that who writing her tweets now. Over at GOS they are all marveling at her ability to spell correctly.

@beltane:
Interesting that, apparently, everything she/he wrote in Facebook message is a lie. The GOS diarist forgot to mention that Sarah couldn’t cite the Exxon case as one she disagreed with when asked by Katie. Because it was oh so important to her.
I hate that woman.
beltane
It will be interesting to see how they juxtapose images of absolute horror and devastation with the dunce’s chirpy “We can still believe” tweet.
beltane
@Elisabeth: She claims she offered legal assistance to those affected by the spill. Puh-lease. That one really make giggle to myself.
Elisabeth
@beltane:
It loses most of its luster, though, when coupled with Landrieu’s “I still believe” crap.
Elisabeth
@beltane:
So, why isn’t she down on the Gulf Coast rendering aid and assistance to Gov. Jindal because, of course, she knows soooo much more than Obama and his incompetent cabinet.
demo woman
@Elisabeth: Because she is an ignorant ass who only served as Governor for 2 plus years and most of that time she was campaigning for another job. SATSQ

Sarah “Mooseburger Helper ” Palin is a malignant media carcinogen and a toxic, knuckledragging neanderthal.
Palin “restates the negativeness of the universe. The hideous, lonely emptiness of existence. Nothingness. The predicament of man forced to live in a barren, Godless eternity like a tiny flame flickering in an immense void with nothing but waste, horror and degradation forming a useless, bleak straitjacket in a black, absurd cosmos.”

@Just Some Fuckhead: So, you won’t be needing the garden hose?

@JK: If only she had disappeared into Geraldine Ferraro-like obscurity, only occasionally emerging from her lair to spout PUMA talking points.

Free markets fix everything. Think of all the wonderful companies that can be created to clean up the mess. The government should totally contract this work out to one of them and reward BP for doing their part to stimulate the economy with some tax cuts. In fact, maybe Exxon and Shell should uncap their wells and create even more companies and jobs. It might even bring the Gulf Coast out of recession.
Jesus is coming, so unless you’re an Christ hating-envirofacist, you’ll know that the Real Christians will get a brand new planet soon anyway.

The rich irony.
She was in new orleans on april 9, for the southern republican leadership conference, where she once again DEMANDED drill, baby, drill.
Mike Kay
@beltane: what are the pumas saying?
Mike Kay
this spill was the result of too much big government regulation and not enough tax cuts.
beltane
@Mike Kay: Nothing I’m aware of. I was just thinking back to Geraldine Ferraro circa 2008. It was the only time I’d heard about her in years. Palin never went away.
Elisabeth
@demo woman:
She’s an ignorant ass who insists on being in my face with her dumbass comentary every time I turn around. Someone please make her go away.

Cleaning up the Gulf Coast could be the next WPA, TVA, Hoover Dam, etc. Employ thousands of people for years.

From Sarah’s idiotic book:
The plaintiffs got a tenth of the punitive damages that a jury awarded them. What a fucking victory.
But thank God the Supreme Court discerned the original intent of the Fourteenth Amendment: making sure corporations don’t pay excessive punitive damages.

@Yutsano:
Jindal, Barbour, and Goodhair are dicks, but given a choice between sucking the Federal tit and the destruction of their states’ economies, I think they’ll make the right call. If not, those are three states that will turn blue for decades.

@beltane:
In an interview, Roger Ailes recently whined that nobody complained when he hired Geraldine Ferraro as a Fox News analyst, but that people made a big fuss when he hired Sarah Palin as a Fox News analyst. The only Democrats that Ailes likes are the ones who bash fellow Democrats as vigorously as Republicans do. Was there any other Democrat who made as disgusting a personal attack against Obama as Ferraro did?

You may be on to something, sort of. How about Goldman contributes a billion to Gulf relief in exchange for the SEC dismissing the complaint?

@burnspbesq: So far I have to say that’s working wonders for Charlie in Florida. Never mind the fact all three took stimulus funds and then lied about it to their constituents (hell they’re still lying about it), they all are playing to their crazy base hardcore right now. I’m pretty sure Piyush will take the cash but the others I’m not as sold on.
@burnspbesq: Fine by me, as long as they can’t deduct it as a charitable contribution.

Sooner or later her looks, and her novelty, are gonna wear off……and then she’ll end up like Christie Whitman, a shriveled up old has-been poster girl for republican “feminism.”

This country has 10% unemployment. I say we should start a WPA program for the oil spill. Hire a couple million people and give each one a lot of paper towels.

There is a saying that entrenched but incorrect ideas cannot be defeated, they only go away when the people who hold them die (note that this is NOT a death threat, but a statement of fact and I hope everyone dies happily and peacefully in their beds when their time comes naturally)
We may be seeing that here with this possibly, perhaps now probably, catastrophic and tragic oil spill.
The Lousiana gulf coast is one my very favorite places and I fear how bad this may turn out to be.
How many times does tribalism, rationalization, persistence of wishful thinking have to defeat obvious fact in the minds of so many people?
After Iraq, after the housing boom and bust, after the financial crisis.
We will be seeing more of it in wrong policy lessons drawn from the Greek-Portugal-Spain economic crises.

More of it in response to strong evidence that the Eastern US’s snowy winter was associated with above average rather than below average temperatures in much of the US.
I don’t think you have to be a radical lefty nut to wonder whether we will destroy ourselves by clinging to rigid, entrenched but incorrect ideas.
Maybe this is something like how the Maya went down.

@Yutsano:
Catholic high school girls are notorious for their lack of self-control. You can’t coop teenagers up in a single-sex environment all week and not expect them to go insane on the weekend. Ask any Jersey guy, and he’ll corroborate this.
Plus, Monday is a lot easier if nobody from your own school saw you make an ass of yourself on Saturday night.

@eemom:
Please let it be sooner rather than later. Andrew Sullivan had a couple of posts yesterday, I believe, that frightened me. One of them mentioned Palin as the CEO of an alternate America and that’s true. My only comfort is knowing that this alternate portion is a tiny slice of “real” America. Those people believe what she says/writes without any questioning. And, yet, Obama supporters are called sheeple.
Thank goodness for baseball and shoe shopping destined to make me feel better.

Offshore drilling doesn’t mean energy independence, which is what Palin (or her ghost-writer) implies. Perhaps we should cut down all the trees and burn them in wood stoves. Etc.

@mr. whipple:
Whoa whoa whoa, tovarisch! A government program? That’s soshulizum! No, we need the government to empower good corporate citizens, like Halliburton, to find ways to both take government money and turn a profit, just like John Galt imagined when he created America.
What? You say Halliburton is responsible for the spill? This is central to my point.

@Quiddity: I read that as Palin is the idiot for the idiots, which made perfect sense to me.
@Elisabeth: Agreed. I loathe everything she stands for as well as her very purpose in being. Talk about the ultimate Peter Pan Principle in action.
