Hey, I have an idea….how about a story on how the New York Times and the Washington Post are actively recruiting readers to help go through the e-mails to be released tomorrow to possibly find dirt on Palin?

My God, these people are deranged.

Yeah, I think there is already plenty of dirt on the half-term nit wit that has already been made public. I don’t think additional dirt will change anyone’s mind about her. She’s finished as a politician but has a future with her own show on Fox “News.”

PIAC

WaPo, NYT & ADN call for non-union moles, voles, gerbils, & termites to burrow & tunnel through Gov. Palin’s e-mails. WTF??!!

PDS big time.

Laugh at your remark regarding how clever it is, then you place the creativitiy on Team Palin rather than Sarah herself –can’t even hint at something kind about her.

So funny….get rid of your fear….and I agree with the others, doncha think its rather strange that both the WAPO and the NYT are calling for individuals to help them find the gotcha moments in Palin’s email?

Uneffingbelievable.

No, there are plenty of Palin gotcha moments that are already available to the public. A few more won’t make any difference She’s done as a politician.

Countless Palin supporters have taken to their computers to try and start a movement to gain adoption of “WTF” as “Winning the Future,” only to leave crayon and Sharpie scrawlings all over tens of thousands of computer screens nationwide!

In Palin-world, everything is subjective. Word meanings, whether or not past events occurred or didn’t occur, reality, and so on.

Palin’s getting close to the edge of the rainbow. Her statements and antics will get more bizarre as she tries to keep her brand alive, but it’ll die as soon as she says she’s not running. Palin never had intention of taking another political office. She’s good at holding a carrot-on-a-stick. Few (if anyone) will want her endorsement in 2012 – losing ‘baggers have been deflated, and the ones who got elected have learned they need to play by rules, and that “shrinking govt” is easier said than done (eg fixing Medicare by confiscating contributions by those 54 and under, and issuing “vouchers” to cover med costs, creates a lot of backlash). Palin may start her own party – that would almost guarantee she’ll be able to fleece her parrots well into 2016.

Will be interesting to see what happens after Bachmann declares her candidacy. The two are similar in some ways, but very different in that Michele is not afraid to face the public and Palin hides behind social media sites and Fox.

Sarah Palin will run. She is too sucked into the process at this point to decline to run, and Palin’s fans will never forgive her if she decides not to run. Their love for Sarah will turn to hate if she says no.

Obviously, you didn’t bother to read article
this is why it matters:

by Alex Alvarez

Regardless of whether or not you support Sarah Palin, it’s wildly apparent that the former governor of Alaska has contributed to pop culture in a way few other politicians ever have (save, perhaps, for Bill “I Did Not Have Sexual Relations With That Woman” Clinton and Rick “Santorum” Santorum). Palin’s influence is such that, with a single sound bite, she can send the entire nation into a tizzy over whether or not bells were involved in Paul Revere’s famed ride, with the debate even spilling over onto Wikipedia.

Now, Palin has managed to alter the definition of a commonly used online slang term. “WTF,” for those unfamiliar, is shorthand for “what the [redacted],” a phrase commonly used to indicate surprise or, in some cases, disgust. You may recall that, back in January, Palin caused many to scratch their hands when, during an interview with Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren, she described America’s “Sputnik moment” as a “WTF moment.”

I thought WTF stood for Women That Fingerpaint
I feel stupid.

Maybe that ‘ d be the mindset in Left Wing circles..
Conservatives DO NOT THINK that way, at all.

We ‘d disown her if she pulled a ” Weiner” (sry)
or gave up her NRA card and finally, if she became Atheist..
We gave this great country to Obama, because it was McCains turn….
We are loyal to a fault.

I can understand conservatives disowning Sarah if she pulled a “weiner”, or supported gun control. But being an atheist?
I thought conservatives or members of the Tea Party could be atheists. Some are in fact. “Tired” you seem rather intolerant.

You must hate Tom Paine.

DISCLAMER, I believe in a higher power and the Unitarians come the closest to my beliefs.

That’s a whole lot of assumption out of a hypothetical half joking

I was being lighthearted… Greek Orthodox, here(a few times a year) myself…lol

It is you, I think, that shows some underlining anger issue (s)?

I get that she is a serious political force and, while not a fan of hers, I respect that. Palin worked herself into a position of pretty solid influence. Anyone that denies that is a fool or a liar.

But this particular story is fluff on fluff. That was my point. It is not that I am saying she shouldn’t get coverage, but dissecting every tweet and facebook posting is getting silly. Palin says and does plenty of stuff of substance that is worthy of coverage. This – not so much.

I have to tell you, Palin fans are just as goofy as Palin haters sometimes. Y’all need to rent a sense of humor.

As a Palin supporter, I got where you were going with your initial comment, but I just thought that on Mediaite of all places it was a redundant comment. So no, Palin supporters don’t need a sense of humor. We just need to read something funny. :)

It might be redundant, but every so often, someone has to point out that Mediaite way, way overcovers all things Palin. And a lot of it is like this one. Relatively meaningless.

The Midnight Ride of Palin’s Revere
(an homage to Henry Wadsworth Longellow’s poem, “The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere”)
Copyright, Mark Tyne, 2011 http://www.marktyne.com
6/7/11

Listen my children and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Palin’s Revere
On the second of June, in two ought one one,
Not a school child stopped giggling at Palin’s conundrum.

In a fit patriotic showing colors don’t bleed
Sara spoke of the ride of Paul’s lightning fast steed,
Said Revere warned the British by ringing those bells
And while riding his horse, through the hamlets and dells

Fired off warning shots (and bells), to make sure we’re all free
So we all can be armed as the bells ring tra-lee!
And the school kids fell silent, at this badly told tale,
Every one of them knew, Palin should be in jail

For forgetting the simplest of tales known by all
Of how Paul Revere rode to stop Concord’s great fall.
For the Brits were invading, but by land or by sea?
If the colonists knew, they could ambush them see?

No church bell was rung from the tower for a warning
It was one or two lamps in the bell tower’s adorning
‘Member “One if by land and two if by sea”?
Perhaps Sarah should have studied more diligently.

Sarah’s liberty bell trip might have caused her confusion
But her Paul Revere story was mostly illusion.
For the war was not fought for the right to bear arms.
But to free up the colonies from Britain’s great harm.

‘Twas for national independence, revolution was struck
Not for bells ever tolling, and the right to bear glocks.
The colonists were warned, not the British, by Paul.
Revolutionary colonists, don’t like England at all.

Brits invaded by sea, with a mighty dark ship
Two lights in the bell tower, set Revere on his trip.
Paul rode through the night, to warn coming invasion
And in his swift ride, held the fate of the nation

By midnight he warned colonists, in the small town of Medford
By one warned in Lexington, by two had warned Concord
And the Lexington colonists gathered with arms
And drove back the British with shots from their guns.

Revolution was on! The first battle a win!
Thanks to Paul Revere’s ride, on that midnight quite dim.
And speaking of dim, back to Palin we go.
Where the children are mocking her confused tale of woe

For every child knows Paul Revere’s famous ride
Palin’s run Presidential should now be denied.

I will say, I do not think I have ever seen this photo of Palin next to a computer screen.

This is one of the best photos I have seen of her. Palin as computer geek. Seriously, Palin’s team need to take more photos of Sarah like this. This photo makes Palin look smart and approachable, not dominatrix like and ultra conservative.

She’s a total POS, and by that I naturally mean Politican Or Something?

As long as the media keeps up it’s obsession with Palin, she will remain in the limelight. It’s a good thing because it pisses off the liberals.

At least the good thing with her emails being released is that we’ll be able to educate our kids on how not to learn to the English language.

I agree, she’s a POS. And of course I mean a Poorly Organized Sycophant.

Sarah do you remember those days, so long ago, when the “Tea Party” formed and they were all about their principles? And how they vowed to be unwavering, in their efforts to cut the National Debt. And the
“Party” staunchly vowed to back only those candidates who shared their principles, no matter what. Remember those “Good old days”? Because now the “Tea Party” is starting to sell out. They’re starting to turn on each other and eat their young. Gone are the days when the “Tea Party” thought the entire country was behind them. Now their mantra is… “we may not get who we want but we should at least vote for the candidate that best represents our views”… They have even gone as far as saying…”if we don’t get a true “Tea Party” candidate, we may even have to back Mitt, if need be”… Gone are the days of “Tea Party” ultimatums, now it’s, let’s get the best deal we can. I’m betting old reliable politics will return to the Republican Party, and Mitt Romney will be their candidate for President. The interesting story there will be…who will be his running mate? You think he will throw the “Tea Party” a bone? You betcha, he will. Romney/Bachmann in 2012. And as long as the economy remains in the tank, they will win. If I may borrow a page from Sarah’s book…Franklin Delano Roosevelt once said…”You have nothing to fear, but Medicare itself”. I’ll be rewriting Wikipedia once I leave here.

BRUCEKENNEDY,

Nicely done, well written.

In fact, you managed to write this piece without tipping your political hand, so to speak.

I like to add an allusion to history repeating itself: In 1790, the US Constitution was Ratified and America had in her possession the perfect form of Government, and all the promises of that perfection.

Then, in 1797, along came the Alien and Sedition Acts and the diminution of the very promises we had made to ourselves.

“Good old days” indeed…

Well done sir.

Are you, by chance missing a finger or two? You strike me as somebody who played, (dangerously) with fire works or used his fathers power tools, after being told not too. (Firearms?)

“Get down off there you’ll break your neck”. “Put that stick down, you’ll put someones eye out with that stick”!

Anyway, your peculiar Acronym humor is tedious, as is your political persuasion.

One more thing: Did you know that the Democratic Party is urging its members to avoid the board game “Monopoly”?

Whats next, telling us what to eat, wear seat belts, motorcycle helmets?
