All Sizzle and No Bacon
Okay, so last year was the hottest year in recorded history.
Scientists reported Wednesday that 2015 was the hottest year in recorded history by far, breaking a record set only the year before — a burst of heat that has continued into the new year and is roiling weather patterns all over the world.
This explains a whole bunch of crazy stuff that went on last year. People get too hot, they do crazy crap.
However, it does not even come close to covering Sarah Palin’s endorsement speech for Donald Trump.
Holy Sweet Mother of Thesaurus Manuals. That was one crazy speech. I heard someone call it “word salad.” I disagree. Salads are good. This speech was not. This speech meandered over to the rejected appetizer table and selected cabbage in a beet fondue with broccoli bits scattered around.
The New York Times tried to figure it out with the The Most Mystifying Lines. ABC News called it Memorable Lines. The Guardian does it as only the British can —
The New Republic calls it a “bonkers speech,” and actually starts feeling a bit sorry for her.
My favorite part, of course, was her dress. It was pure Las Vegas, or maybe biker chick, I dunno. It definitely was not take-me-seriously wear.
This is gonna be fun so get yourself prepared for a great time.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
Of the MANY maddening things about Palin, it’s her fans’ refusal to believe that what she says makes no sense that gets to me the most. After the VP debate with Biden, every single conservative I spoke with about it thought she made perfect sense. When I sat down with a transcript of the speech and showed them how very little she said tied together, justified any conclusion, or even came to any conclusion at all, they just couldn’t believe it. One even accused me of editing the transcript so she’d look stupid, and then wouldn’t even look at the evidence. Idiots.
1$carah has resorted to nukular moose nuggets from a secret centrifuge stored under her wig.
2OMG! If he picks her as his VEEP, here we go again!
3When she was let out of her cage with McCain, the electorate took a serious look at her and the prospect of her being McCain’s successor in event of his death, and they totally rejected her. She scared a lot of people to death.
I think she is a waste of time and money, and I’m willing to bet that Trump’s campaign staff will let him know the same thing.
Alaskan White Trash.
4i went to the video….I could not make myself turn on the sound. If I never hear her voice again, I will be OK with that.
5It takes a bit of doing, at least it did for me, but now all I can do is laugh. Anyone who takes Trump or Palin in the tiniest degree as serious are truly deranged. This is getting surreal.
6Speaking of Palin,
Who could ever forget this literary gem, from Rich Lowery!
“I’m sure I’m not the only male in America who, when Palin dropped her first wink, sat up a little straighter on the couch and said, “Hey, I think she just winked at me.” And her smile. By the end, when she clearly knew she was doing well, it was so sparkling it was almost mesmerizing. It sent little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the living rooms of America. This is a quality that can’t be learned; it’s either something you have or you don’t, and man, she’s got it.”

7” . . . squirmishes . . .” is my favorite.
8But who are we talking about today? Remember anything Jeb! said yesterday? And remember that old saying, bad publicity is better than no publicity. It’s never failed for her.
9The harsh reality, though, is that she ain’t talkin’ to you and me.
I absolutely could NOT listen to her screeching and watching that stupid expression on Donald face … I think it was suppose to resemble a smile but it looked a bit pained … even from him!!
10I take it no one has seen any of the supposed $2M ads that the Donald is suppose to be running every week … He stated he’d be spending $2M a week on ads! He doesn’t have to because he’s getting all the airtime he needs thanks to MSNBC … I wonder if he is paying them to kiss his fat white ass!! I’m beginning to think they’ve made a mutual you-kiss-mine and I’ll-kiss-yours deal.
Wait until the “squirmish” begins when Palin tries to out Trump the Trump–this is why she and McCain got into their own “squirmish” when she tried to turn the cameras towards her!!
It has gotten to be so insane, I am becoming very very frightened of this reality tv show–I would rather be watching Netflix!!
11She’s worn that jacket before in one of her TV appearances. Up close, it looks like it’s got finishing nails dangling all over it.
Probably couldn’t afford anything new now that SaraPac is going broke. Too many lawyers & hush money payments to cover the family’s misdeeds.
12Too many 5 Hour Energy drinks, packed into 20 minutes.
13You go girl, preferably back to Wasilla.
My Momma used say that you could get a pretty good idea of a person’s character by the company they keep. Does der Donald understand that the people will have to make a judgement and the company he keeps will factor into it. As for Sista Sarah………… .J.J.’s Momma would wash my mouth out with a yellow bar of soap, if I said what I really think of Sarah. ( only cause my Momma has past away and can’t beat her to it.)
14Well, that’s a spoiler.
I had a super(man) theory about Trump, but it’s just been blown out of the water now that we’ve seen him and Palin together.
15Cole, I think this is relevant to your post:
‘Twas an evening in November, as I very well remember,
I was walking down the street in drunken pride.
But my knees went all a-flutter, so I rested in a gutter,
And a pig came ’round and laid down by my side.
Yes I laid there in the gutter thinking thoughts I could not utter
16When a colleen passing by did softly say:
“You can tell a man that boozes by the company he chooses”
And then the pig got up and slowly walked away!
Did you watch The Donald while Sarah was dishing up her word salad? Lust?
17Squirmishes….that was a good one, but the best, IMO, was when she referred to tRump as a self made man. So true, he started out in adult business life with only a paltry million dollars.
18Here’s what the Rude Pundit had to say,”When she gave her endorsement to Trump in Iowa, Palin went on, at length, about…well, really, it was kind of hard to tell since her “speech” would more accurately be described as an oxy-fueled, deranged, incomprehensible stream of consciousness that would make James Joyce say, “What the fuck are you talking about?” before drinking himself to a thankful death. – See more at: http://rudepundit.blogspot.com/#sthash.jDNOmOou.dpuf
19The only art of the deal that Trump has mastered is bankruptcy where his debts magically disappear over and over and over and over again.
20Dear God! I cannot bear another political campaign featuring that shrieking imbecile. One shrieking male imbecile was hard to bear. Two together is nigh on impossible. Let’s hope Trump realizes she’s using him to gain more time in the spotlight and kicks her to the curb.
21“This speech meandered over to the rejected appetizer table and selected cabbage in a beet fondue with broccoli bits scattered around.”
Made my day.
22My three best Sarah moments: First when she was introduced at the GOP convention, and I thought “I never heard of her, but she is certainly attractive”. Then she opened her mouth and I tought, “what the HELL!”. The second was an interview with a female fan who gushed, “Ah aim votin for Sarah! She’s jist laak me”. The third came the other night, and I coined the term, “GOPocalypse”.
23I loved her dress too. Not sure where I’d wear one like it but it sure sparkles. I guess some folks just like to get up in front of a crowd and make noise, even if they don’t know what they’re saying.
24I finally realized what that dress reminded me of: the hostess at a 1980’s steak house. It probably reminded all the conservative men and their wives with big hair of the best days of their lives.
25LynnN … Love that poem!!
26Has anyone checked to see if she is suffering from a permanent/ongoing severe stroke?
