Putting the goober in gubernatorial -

Purgatory Will Turn You Vegan. Apparently.

And now this, from the Palin Channel, which clearly has not raised enough money for speech writers. Or teleprompters. Or some guy making cue cards with a Sharpie.

Luckily, they’ve been able to scrape up enough for a fake tree, and a pile of leather-bound books which were put in front of her so maybe now she has to read them, a lacquered photograph of a flag, and a ring of keys for a house belonging to a race of giants. Gravitas. That’s what that is.

The ex-half-governor must have been feeling confident this day, because she decided to take on Elizabeth Warren over the issue of minimum wage.

“‘We believe?’ Wait… I thought fast food joints, hrmh. Don’t you guys think that they’re like of the Devil or somethin’? That’s what… liberals, you want to send those evil employees who would dare work at a fast food joint that ya just don’t believe in… thought you wanted to, I dunno, send them to Purgatory or somethin’ so they all go vegan and uh… wages and picket lines – I dunno they’re not often discussed in Purgatory, are they? I dunno why are you even worried about fast food wages because mhu.

“Well, we believe an America where minimum wage jobs they’re not lifetime gigs, they’re stepping stones.”

So, whaddya think?

Booze? Ambien? Too much Diet Redbull and phen phen? Or simply a mind being slowly crushed before our eyes under the weight of its own irrelevance?

    She thinks mockery will get her an audience that will float her channel. Doubt it!

    Typical Republican: mock, and destroy the other side. Don’t offer any rational reasons for your point of view because you don’t have any.
    She is a sad caricature of their way of thinking.

  3. No Name says:

    Sarah – leave Todd and get into Rehab before it all blows up and you end up in pink in Arizona instead…

  4. Bigtoe says:

    I’m going to go with “a mind being slowly crushed before our eyes under the weight of its own irrelevance” because it’s as close to the truth as anything else.

    • Moles says:

      I think the men in white coats with their butterfly nets are hot on her heels…

    Describes SP perfectly:
    The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias manifesting in unskilled individuals suffering from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than is accurate. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their ineptitude. from Wikipedia

  6. bonefish (aka Nancy Wood) says:

    After some reflection (not much, true, but some), it isn’t at all clear to me that she actually knows she’s irrelevant. Maybe, like a bacterium vaguely sensing a macrophage, there is a little wobble in the aether of her alternative universe, but I don’t think she really “gets” it.
    But then, I have been accused of thinking too much.

  7. mike from iowa says:

    Oh,Sarah. You are so hot. Get into the back seat,babe.
    No! I don’t want to get into the back seat!
    Why the hell not?
    I wanna stay up here with you,duh.
    Doh!!!

  8. mike from iowa says:

    Down in Arizlaska
    Where tea-publi haters grow no brains
    There lives a woman that I swear to the world
    Makes bat-shit craziness appear sane

    diet Red Bull Sarah
    imitating Yogi Berra
    Everybody says its such a shame
    She couldn’t give her children ordinary names

    Every day around red bull slurpy time
    She’d head down to the stupidio
    And spew her a mess of word salad
    Cuz it keeps her bank accounts full of dough

    diet Red Bull Sarah
    And all of her mascara
    She don’t be getting by based upon her looks
    She’s got suckers out there buying all her books

    Once she run for vice president
    To be kind let’s say she didn’t have a clue
    I can’t do the vice presidents job
    Until someone explains what the vice president do

    Arizlaska Sarah
    Mama Grizzly terror
    Best part of all about being Me
    Sheeple sending monies inexplicably.

    My deepest and humblest apologies to Tony Joe White for slaughtering his masterpiece Poke Salad Annie. 🙂

    ah jeez.
    poor ole whatzername .
    she’s starting to remind me of the mess you get on a bobbin when the tension is all wrong on your machine… lots of loopy, loose thread

  10. Wugmump says:

    It’s time for her to be irrelevated.

  11. Zyxomma says:

    I’ll go with all of the above. The comedy stylings of Mrs. Palin are as embarrassing as her attempts at relevance.

  12. RipleyInCT says:

    That last thing. Not the whole sentence, just the last word of it 😉
    “Irrelevance”.

  13. tallimat says:

    That chick is nuts.

  14. It’s kinda sad to see Sarah attempt satire. All she manages to do with it is underscore her own complete failure to understand the issues, much less the views of her opponents.

  15. mike from iowa says:

    If you crossed Palin with a rowboat it would be a real dinghy and for a quarter more it could be supersized.

  16. mike from iowa says:

    If you crossed Snowgrift Snoozy with the town drunk you’d be arrested for town drunk abuse.

  17. slipstream says:

    Such an inspiring leader!

    Arizona, you must be so pleased to have her!

  18. Buffalogal says:

    To me, she seemed sober enough, but it struck me that she was having some sort of adrenaline fueled narcissism attack. My guess is that she thought the whole darned video thing was going along so well and she was tickled with her own self about dressing to mock Elizabeth Warren, and how funny / insightful it will be to share this with her new “tv channel” , that I think she took whatever notes there might have been for the minimum wage point and ran off on what she imagined would be a comedic riff. It probably sounded funny in her head but she stumbled after the first few “jokes” and then couldn’t deliver, causing her inner Seinfeld to flee the building. Ironically, it did end up being the funniest segment of that video and has brought forth much laughter throughout the land.

    • RipleyInCT says:

      Heya, Buff!

      I’d love to see Tina Fey do this particular sequence… and have the TPs say it’s all made up again. Then play them back to back.

      • Buffalogal says:

        Hey Ripley !- was just thinking about you yesterday. And yes – agreed .
        Tina Fey would do a fine job and it would drive the nutters…, well – nuts!

      • Rebecca says:

        I think she thinks she is Tina Fey…she’s like the snake that eats its own tail.

    • Irishgirl says:

      Yes, it was her attempt at comedy. It went terribly wrong. 🙂
