Oh, Sarah, Sober Up
So Sarah Palin went to Iowa to run for President again.
She gave a speech that even conservatives said was “bizarro.” Honey, when you make Rick Perry look smart and coherent, you’re drunk. That’s all there is to it.
The kids on Twitter had fun. Especially with stuff like this:
“It is good that we have a deep bench and its primary competition that will surface the candidate who’s up to the task and unify and this person has to because knowing what the media will do throughout all of 2016 to all of us it’s going to take more than a village to beat Hillary,” she said.
So, the clown car just got a new driver.
Lucky us!
It’s hard to believe that English is her first language. It is easier to believe that she has devolved to the point where she speaks no language at all. She has a bad case of glossolalia.
“Glossolalia, often understood among Protestant Christians as speaking in tongues, is the fluid vocalizing of speech-like syllables that lack any readily comprehended meaning, in some cases as part of religious practice.”
1Glossolalia? No, she’s just drunk as a skunk. I’ll never understand how these idiots can rationalize paying this grifter money for a “speech”.
I hear klondike Barbie referred to President Obama as boy at Steve King’s wing nut gathering in Iowa.
2“The man”? Coming from a member of the Republican elite? Oh the irony! (I wonder if Palin understands that word?)
3I can’t bear to watch the video, but that quotation if accurate sounds like she’s had a stroke. Seriously– damage in one speech area makes the words hard to get out, but damage in the other means words come readily, they just don’t fit together and make sense.
We had a brain-damaged president a couple of Republicans ago, but it’s not a good way to start in that office.
4God help her! She’s dumber than a box of rocks!
5It’s not the GOP Clown Car; it’s the GOP Clown Bus. I cannot believe that these people actually applaud what this woman says.
6Who is the winner of the ‘open mouth and sound stupid’ award???
Dubbya or Palin? (opens envelope)
7Their both rePUKEians and it is a tie!!!!!!
Well, I have early morning coffee in hand—but when I listened to Babble Spice, my ears started bleeding.
Then all I could hear was the sound of a doctor saying “Hold her down”. Then the nurse said “Mrs. Palin’s nails are going to have to be cut”.
8Some Texas Republicans will vote for her. Some Texas Republicans will vote for anybody with and (R) behind their name, on a ballot.
I can’t listen to her. Bad enough to “read” what she says.
9Whut the whut?
“It is good that we have a deep bench and its primary competition that will surface the candidate who’s up to the task and unify and this person has to because knowing what the media will do throughout all of 2016 to all of us it’s going to take more than a village to beat Hillary,” she said.
It’s just coming on to 8 a.m. here in S. CO, but after reading that, I’m ready for a drink other then my coffee!!
10Ya know, her father was a teacher. How the heck he missed her learning disability is beyond me. I’m sure her classroom teachers noticed it, but if they informed him, I would bet he was way up the river of denial. But, then, it seems this kind of stuff is common with the R’s. Just look at 43 and his trouble with his own native language.
11“So, the clown car just got a new driver.”
OK, maybe, if you consider the “driver” came complete with its own pit crew: sugar in the gas tank, metal filings in the oil and a whole lot of st00pid wrapped around the crankshaft.
12Rhea, it must have been the late hour, as you are being way too nice.
“We had a brain-damaged president a couple of Republicans ago, but it’s not a good way to start in that office.”
‘a’ would indicate singular, when the fact is we had Reagan, Bush1 and Bush2; not to mention Ford, because he seemed like a nice guy. Oh yeah, and that other guy, Nixon.
13So it will take more than a village. Does that mean it will take a city? Isn’t she always telling us that real ‘Murkans don’t live in cities? Does this mean she’s goin’ after furriners to vote for her?
14I will never forgive John McCain for unleashing this woman on our nation. Never.
15I wouldn’t say that Sarah Palin is stupid. You must have a BRAIN to be stupid.
16Sarah Palin reminds me of the fireworks trailers that show up every holiday. There there to show off their crap, tell you how to make a lot of noise and take your money. Then, after you get home & tick off all your neighbors, you’re left with ringing ears, no friends, and empty pockets.
Palin/Perry 2016!
17Lorraine,
18That is simply a spot on analogy. Excellent writing! I may have to “borrow” that for future reference. Thank you.
Maybe she’s trying to say it takes more than a village, it takes a village plus a village idiot.
19Palin never met a run-on sentence she didn’t like.
20English Teachers of America, smite this language pariah down!
@Mark Schlemmer You’re welcome.
And I meant “They’re”.
Sheesh. I need stronger coffee this am.
21PKM, I must rise to the bait of being accused of being “too nice.”
When I referred to “a” brain-damaged GOP president, I was comparing Reagan’s dementia with Palin’s presumed stroke– both cases of organic damage after the fact. Perhaps I should have included Ford for all the times he “played football without his helmet,” though we know now that helmets don’t help much. Papa Bush wasn’t stupid; he was just Republican. Baby Bush was… well. And so was Dan Quayle. Come to think of it, Papa Bush inflicted Quayle on us as one heartbeat away, so maybe Papa wasn’t all that bright either. (Somebody said Quayle looked like “Robert Redford’s brother that they kept up in the attic but he got out somehow.”
22I refuse to allow Avalanche Barbie the pity of the opinion that her verbal diarrhea somehow has a medical cause. Or that she just happened to be intoxicated at the same time she was scheduled to speak. Rather I think she is a low functioning adult who has by her ambition and pure chance found herself which she is. In over her head. Too needy for attention and money to return to a more quiet life and too lazy and too far below minimum intellect to serve and govern. And like Holly what’s-her-butt, I have grown weary of her.
23ok ok clobbered by autocorrect and etc again…
“Rather I think she is a low functioning adult who has by her ambition and pure chance found herself where she is.”
Jeeeeeeeeeesh!
24It’s finally beginning to dawn on me: Caribou Barbie’s fondness for “word salads” is born out of sheer laziness. As many speeches as she is paid to give, she still doesn’t bother putting in the effort to write them and polish them up before delivering them. Nope, that takes real work. She just gets up there and wings it. Too bad she isn’t smart enough to pull that off.
25Ye gods, Sarah, really?
I will never figure out how her audience understands what she is saying, let alone APPLAUD her for her ramblin’ rose speeches. My ears are bleeding just from that short video.
26I wish Google would add “Palin” to their Google Translate feature. It’s always far too long (even if it’s just a day) between Sarah’s political narratives. With Google Translate Palin, we could read entire web pages as if they were spoken by Sarah herself.
Plus, we could then take the written transcripts of her comments and translate them back into English so we had some idea what she is trying (desperately) to say.
27Rick-that would mean we actually care what she is trying desperately to say. Speaking personally,the only value I find in any thing she says is for humor to be used against her. Kike in a court of law.
28It’s fairly obvious when you see some of her videos that she has a substance abuse problem of some sort.
29The Urban Dictionary’s definitions of Palin! There are more, just scroll down!
Palin
301. An applicant lacking even basic job skills
2. Someone supremely un-self-aware or lacking any relative sense of what he/she does or doesn’t know.
Angela, nice “Streetcar” reference. I always felt sorry for Blanche though.
31TTPT: I bet McCain is also rueing the day he made that exponentially stoopid decision, but heck, thinking like a sailor ashore after 2 years of no women, it should haunt him for the rest of his life.
32Maggie:
33John McCain just HAD to choose Palin for running mate. Steve Schmidt told him that picking her would be a real “long shot” and you know what happens when a habitual gambler does when faced with a “long shot”. His game is Craps, and he’s slowly burning through his wife’s fortune.
What I would like to know is who were the advisors that foisted Palin on McCain and then into the public?
34Who were they? Whoever they are, they should be publicly scorned/shamed every time Palin appears in public!
Here’s where it started!
Damn you forever senator McCain!

35Neither I nor anyone else knows what that sentence means. One sentence of Palin is all my gag reflex will allow.

Benthic rocks at that…or meteorites (from far outer space).

38It reminds me of an old Doonesbury cartoon where the reporter is hollering at the politician who is speaking similarly, “A verb! We need a verb senator!”
39I may be in the minority, but I’m feeling a tremendous amount of pity at this point. I don’t think she was inebriated or suffering from any health condition. I just feel really sorry for her. She just doesn’t know when to walk away. She should have done it following 2008. She’s addicted to the attention and just too delusional to understand that most people are laughing at her and not because it’s a conspiracy or the big bad liberal media out to get her. You are being laughed at. She is someone to be pitied at this point.
