Logging things that bother me about Palin's Special Comment

Logging things that bother me About Media Personality Sarah Palin’s special comment on the “terrible tragedy” ... and a one and a two and a...

00:00 Too much bronzer.

00:00 Rimless glasses. I was never aboard.

00:20 “I agree with the sentiment shared yesterday at the beautiful CATHOLIC mass” -- really punched out CATHOLIC, didn’t you? Don’t worry we know you love all good Christian people. Except gay Christians.

00:35 “Our country…so vibrant with ideas and passionate debate and exchange of ideas” -- Who wrote this speech, because I have a few ideas.

01:05 NOT IRONY.

01:33 “Like many, I spent the last few days reflecting on what happened, praying for guidance” -- and here I was, watching SARAH PALIN’S ALASKA, thinking you spent the last few days baking soda bread and birding in Seward Island with Kate Gosselin. You’re a joke.

01:45 REAGAN INVOKED

02:08 “acts of monstrous criminality stand on their own” -- This is the heart of her “argument” (I guess). But it’s also patently untrue. To separate criminality from criminology is the kind of retrograde antintellectualism that will get this total bitch elected. Not to mention what we know about psychology, sociology, and just, you know, common sense. Like, didn’t this deranged man BUY A GUN. Shouldn’t he have been on MEDICATION? Didn’t society somehow “miss” him in its efforts to identify, and help, people who are disturbed? Is all this totally irrelevant, is that actually your argument, that if someone is “evil” enough (you keep saying evil. We get the Miltonian undercurrents, sweetie) a gun will just magically appear in their hands and they will kill innocent people, and there’s nothing society or science can do to help? So we should just give up? So “criminality” just IS and we shouldn’t try to reduce this by intoning age-old “ideas” on how rhetoric can lead to actual physical violence? Are you effing serious?

02:47 “Last November, the other party won” Nader won??

03:29 “Journalists and pundits should not manufacture a ‘blood libel’ that serves only to incite the very violence they purport to condemn” Forget about the fact that ‘blood libel’ is used incorrectly here (the point every liberal commentator is now making). THIS COUNTERS THE VERY POINT YOU JUST MADE, YOU SLAG. So it’s DEFINITELY NOT the fault of Rush Limbough and Glenn Beck, because criminality begins and ends with the act right? But somehow it IS the fault of “journalists and pundits” who criticize violent rhetoric?? This a major logical problem. THAT IS WHAT PEOPLE NEED TO FOCUS ON HERE. So typical poltical bullshitting - -saying one thing and doing the exact opposite in the next breath.

03:53: “But when was [political debate] less heated? Back in those calm days when political figures literally settled their difference with dueling pistols?” First of all, I don’t appreciate your tone here, missy. Secondly: No not then. Sometime after then and before Bush. There.

04:05 in an “idyll” world?? Learn to speak.

05:17 “public discourse and debate isn’t the sign of crisis, but of our enduring strength...It is part of why America is exceptional” Classic sleight of hand. No one is arguing that DEBATE should stop. It’s the quality and content of that debate – the tone of it – that has caused such problems. You’re changing the content of the current debate right now, actually. Very tricky, media personality Sarah Palin.

05:40 “ [we will not be deterred by those who] mock its greatness by being intolerant of differing opinions and seek to muzzle dissent with shrill cries of imagined insults” WAIT WHAT? I’m seriously lost on that one. I think she combined lines on the teleprompter. Who is muzzling and who is imagining here?

06:47 9/11 INVOLKED. Took long enough, seriously man. Six minutes in??? Do you hate America, media personality SP? Do you not respect the servicemen and women who gave their lives for our continued freedom and justice and dignity and freedom and justice and ideas!!!!

06:54 GOD INVOKED.

07:40 Rimless glasses




And so, true belivers, ends another rant on my blog. Palin is a cancer on our planet, and bitch is malignant. At least the whole epidemic gave us Levi Johnston...who is probably the best thing about the Palin years in general. Possible tie going to Tina Fey's SNL impression.
