Last week, we learned that Paula Deen was launching a new online subscription “network” that would feature live cooking shows with Paula, for the really hardcore butter fans who can’t get what they want from The Food Network & the Cooking Channel. Paula’s network costs $7.99 a month to join. Which, just FYI, is still a huge rip-off even if you’re a fan. But Paula’s online network seems almost quaint compared to the insanity that Sarah Palin just dropped on the world. Yes, Palin is also going with the “online subscription” format, only she’s charging people $9.95 a month, or a “steal” at $99.95 a year. For what exactly? Well…
Something… FILTERS… something… “direct connection”… blah… gonna do something… “We’ll talk about the issues that the mainstream media won’t talk about…” Sigh. Alright. Even if you like Sarah Palin and you genuinely want to hear what she has to say (God bless you), why in the world would you PAY for that pleasure? Especially when you could hear her blathering on and on for free (depending on your cable provider)? She’s still on Fox News as a contributor or whatever. They tried to fire her and it worked for several months last year, but then they brought her back. What in the world would be so different, so UN-mainstream media about the subscription Sarah Palin Channel that you couldn’t just get on Fox News?
As if to prove my point, one of the first videos uploaded (for free!) on the Sarah Palin Channel is about “the I-word,” meaning impeachment. Meaning she wants to impeach Pres. Obama. Regardless of the politics of that subject, why did Palin need her own channel to talk about impeachment? She’s been talking about impeachment for free on several media outlets for months/years.
My conclusion: If I’m going to spend $99.95 a year for a special online subscription, there better be naked Benedict Cumberbatch and dirty-talking Clive Owen on a LOOP.

I would pay 99 dollars a year in order to never hear anything that Sarah Palin or her friends have to say, online or otherwise.
I would sign up for that as well.
However, I am willing to watch Tina Fey imitate her grating speaking style. 🙂
But if you already have HBOgo, you can endlessly watch Julianne Moore watching Tina Fey immitate her. Priceless.
So true! I laughed so many times during that movie. Anyone attempting to imitate Sarah is basically doing comedy.
Sign me up for the same! No word salads for me.
I’m right there with the rest of you chicas. When I read the thread line, my first thought was “Is this a serious question?” Hellz no, I would not even pay .99 to hear Sarah “I can see Russia from my back yard!” Palin.
I’m in line right behind you.
why anyone gives her a platform to speak is beyond me. she’s shown herself to be a happily ignorant, uninformed, intellectually incurious person who spews outright lies. oh, and she’s a quitter.
who cares what she thinks on any subject?
Aggressively ignorant!
Nobody is giving her a platform anymore. That’s why she has to try to sell her internet ramblings. What a loser. Bigger than Freddie Prinze Jr LOLLLLL.
I agree. She doesn’t have the commitment to educate herself about any one topic. She’s rather say platitudes with sass than put in the work to be educated.
I’m with you all. Her shoes are the only platform she should be allowed…and even that/those are a fashion shame!
Tiffany, that’s the best description of her in a nutshell that I’ve heard, “platitudes with sass” with no substance or education to back it up. Ugh. Count me in the camp of wishing she’d go away for good. But alas she seems determined to cling to her 15 minutes.
Great answer, Break! I’ll triple that to make sure we never hear from her again!
I cannot understand why this bloodthirsty, ignorant woman is still a “thing.” She is without shame. She has three skills: lying, ripping everyone off, and terrorizing people into staying silent about all her lies. She would never survive a media venture in which critics could actually talk back to her. This format is a way for her to spew her venom to her ardent admirers AND get them to finance her lifestyle. Hope it bombs.
“She would never survive a media venture in which critics could actually talk back to her.”
she couldn’t even survive a interview with Katie Couric without looking/sounding stupid.
Count me in!
Hear, hear!
Beat me to it!
This exactly.
You beat me to it… I was going to say I’d pay $99/year to permanently shut her the hell up.
But……maybe THAT’S her plan, lol! She knows there are enough people that are willing to pay to stop her blathering, that she and her family could all live very well for the rest of their lives. I would willingly pay $99 every year if it meant we never had to hear from her again.
Poor Sarah’s in a bind.
She’s lost her looks at this point [have you seen her lately?] so TV’s not good for her, esp. HD.
Even though she’s a female Rush Limbaugh, radio isn’t so good either, since you’d be focused on her word salad.
She can’t get hired as an “analyst” on news shows because she’s so extreme she can’t comment on anything.
And the Animal Channel won’t take her because her voice drives the dogs crazy.
NO!!!!
Not even if they paid ME $99 a year
LOL~you are correct!! Not even if she paid ME would I watch that insane windbag say anything about ANYTHING.
I don’t listen to her when she is free; why would I pay to hear her? She makes my brain hurt.
Indeed! It is almost physically painful to here her talk…about anything. Not just ignorant but the style of speech; what the hell is that? I don’t think it’s “Alaskan.” Plus she’s a quitter.
I’m embarrassed I clicked on this story.
Ditto, and why is she wearing her daughter’s shoes?!
Me, too.
I’m embarrassed I clicked too. I was hoping she’d finally be honest for once and admit she wants a breast re-do or more face work. Don’t her supporters realize how much money this fail puts into her body and face? Why People why are you paying for this dingbat to continue her plastic journey?
Not just no, but HELL NO!
Always hustling, this one.
I agree, I can’t imagine why you would pay one hundred bucks a year to listen to her bitch.
She must smell money otherwise why would she bother….you couldn’t pay me to listen to this airhead and her dumb ravings. I thought by now she would have gone away but unfortunately that doesn’t seem to be the case.
Poor Miss Grifter Quitty-pants Palin. She doesn’t want to actually work, but she wants that money to keep rolling in. They’re already betting over at Immoral Minority that she won’t have the stamina to last 6 months with this venture.
The delusion is strong with this one…
I wouldn’t even pay 1 cent.
This one is still around, eh?
Why the hell pay $99.00 to hear Palin flap her gums online, when you’re assaulted by her shrill voice on corporate controlled mainstream media for free?
I loathe this woman to no end, but I will say she does have a nice figure.
And as for that Cumberbatch fella…ugh! I cannot at all understand the attraction with this guy. He’s freaky looking. Just my opinion, of course.
THIS! Cumberbatch looks like a praying mantis. Yuk.
Yes but wouldn’t a dirty-talking Clive Owen be worth the $99 subscription? I’m thinking of his character from Closer—you guys know the scene I’m talking about.
HOT.
Clive Owen is HOT!!!! I might pool some of that money!
I got 99 bills to spend for something, but this b*tch ain’t one.
I really did LOL.
lol
Excellent, Kiddo. I like your style.
Hands Kiddo the internet. LMAO.
OMG. The delusion is so strong with this one. And just to be extra awful – what the H is that outfit? It’s like she went to Dress Barn for the clothes and then to the stripper store for the shoes. She is just the worst. An Ann Coulter wannabe – all sound byte and no substance. Blech.
She also popped by Wigs-R-Us for that pelt on her head. She got it half price in the “Getcher beachy glow” bin.
has she had a boob job since she ran for VP? she definitely looks a lot more top-heavy.
It certainly looks like it.
Those are the Belmont Twins, so named after she wore them to the Belmont races a few years ago. She wears them when she wants attention. Without them, she’s rather flat.
I’m glad someone is talking about it. I can’t get past that outfit.
She was styled so impeccablly during the mccain palin election. It’s fascinating how styling created a smart accomplished human out of, well an opportunistic bigot. I’m just shocked at the gradual de-cloaking of palin. Its no wonder the “real Americans” without internet information were bamboozled by her facade.
No. Because she’ll quit 6 months later.
Ha! Good point. Maybe that’s all part of the scam.
LOL~
You betcha!
After watching that HBO movie “Game Changer”…. all I can say is “Bless her Heart”. What made it worse, was I went and found the book that movie was based on. Read it. So I am not remotely convinced Palin could give you the definition of what “impeachment” means. The woman is beyond dense.
And the more Palin talks…. the more she removes all doubt how truly dense she is on facts. Simple daily facts at that!
And I thought the film was kind.
I agree. It was a very gentle approach to the subject. Because she went batsh*t crazy on them (GOP) towards the end of that election.
I actually pitied her when she curled up and cried that she missed her baby. Then I read that she and her family don’t bother enough with Trigg to put on his glasses, his hearing aid, or sometimes even a seat belt – sympathy was killed.
@Mayamae,
I’m pretty sure she was referring to “Piper the Diaper” ( as she lovingly labeled her daughter), because she was the only child not yet rebelling against her mother. There is much speculation and circumstantial photographic evidence that Trigg was Bristol’s (first) baby, not Scarah’s.
And yes, I agree they do not seem to provide the most important things to him consistently. Check out theimmoralminority.blogspot.com for a boatload of damning material.
One of my favorite quotes by Sarah Palin – there are so many – is her take on Paul Revere:
“He who warned, uh, the … the British that they weren’t gonna be takin’ away our arms, uh, by ringin’ those bells and, um, by makin’ sure that as he’s ridin’ his horse through town to send those warnin’ shots and bells that, uh, we were gonna be secure and we were gonna be free … and we were gonna be armed.”
I would contemplate paying the $99 to see her stand up act.
No way. Is this genuinely a real quote? Good lawd almighty…
@ Sooloo – and that’s one of her more intelligible quotes! She’s quite articulate, isn’t she?
All Ican imagine is this being the dumbed down version of Fox News mixed with the mad crazy conspiracy bs of Glenn Beck
So pretty much Fox News for people too stupid to watch Fox News and are afraid of being in contact with any ‘ mainstream media’ because TRUTH COOTIES!
Truth cooties! Love it!!
I see she remains style- and brain-free. Idiot.
Kaiser, you want a naked Benedict Cumberbatch? He has sad ass. The Cumberbutt is not that impressive. Now, Hiddleston’s ass, damn. He has the best booty in the biz.
A few years ago, she thought she was too good for DANCING WITH THE STARS, now I’m sure she’d jump at the chance. Her world keeps getting smaller and smaller. She can’t survive any sort of scrutiny, so she’s stuck preaching to an ever dwindling choir.
Wife Swap with Kate Gosselin coming soon…
IMO she is below Wife Swap with Kate Gosselin at this point, since she and Kate Gosselin already did some TV episodes where the Palins and the Gosselins went camping together.
Sarah seems to be neglectful but not abusive toward her kids, and they probably do mostly all like each other and have fun together. Sarah was horrified at the way Kate was abusing her kids and ruining the trip with her sulking and whining. Really, Sarah came off as mother of the year in comparison!
How is this a thing that exists outside of The Onion?
How is SHE a thing that exists outside the Onion?
i know. good god.
i lived in AK when she was governor, it was a joke. i was driving back to the lower 48 when mccain announced her as his pick. i was at a rest stop diner, just having washed my face after a night in a tent, and drinking coffee over scrambled eggs. i thought i was hallucinating from being tired. then, all the way to CA, every time i had to show my driver’s license people would make remarks about AK and this dumba$$, and i felt i had to defend the entire state, haha. how the hell is she still a thing six years later? pathetic.
Oh, you poor thing. Great story, though.
@Ag, my entire adult life, my fantasy has included moving to Alaska. Sarah Palin killed my dream, but you give me hope.
@mayamae – SP is the exception, not the rule. AK is amazing. it’s truly the most beautiful place i have ever seen. the people who live there are tough, and living there is tough, and not for everyone (it wasn’t for me long-term), but it’s an amazing, pristine, crazy place that feels like the end of the world. you should go. 🙂
I’ll be honest – I’m mildly interested in what she might say. Many people hate her with such vitriol that I find the concept of her intriguing.
there’s are plenty of videos of her, her interviews, etc on youtube, if you’re interested in what she talks about – for free.
Google her interview with Katie Couric, where she can’t answer what newspapers she reads and says her foreign policy experience is being governor of Alaska because they can see Russia from there. The light may dawn re vitriol.
@GNAD – she reads ALL OF THEM. lol
also, her accent drives me mad. no one in AK speaks like that. she just tries to sound “folksy.”
Ag, I’ve wondered about the accent. I have a friend from Alaska who sounds nothing like that. Of course, it’s a big state, but still.
Julianne Moore didn’t nail the accent, but Tina Fey did. Tina Fey contends that Palin’s accent is derived from her father, who hails from South Dakota, or near there. It’s more of a “Fargo” accent then Alaskan.
Ag, isn’t she from somewhere in the lower 48? Sorry, as a Canadian don’t care enough about her to google her!
There are people you can hate just as much who at least have a modicum of intelligence. Maybe try Bill O’Reilly.
Fair enough, just be sure to research what she says to find where it lands on the “truthfulness” scale. She talks to rile people up, not to inform in any way.
She is a grifter, and they are often “interesting”
I don’t find any politicians registering high on the truthfulness scale.
And I just looked it up…@Goodnamesalltaken – Palin never said she can see Russia from her house. That was an SNL spoof. Check out snopes and it gives the interview two days prior to SNL which it was making fun of.
I am indecisive about her, but I do think she got an unfair shake at public opinion during the election…but I know nothing of her statements since she & McCain lost.
@Inconceivable, I watched the interview. You’re right, she didn’t say, “I can see Russia from my house”, but she definitely implied living in Alaska, in Russia’s back yard, she can keep an eye on them. Meaning, that’s her foreign policy experience.
Every governor that runs for president or vice president gets questioned about lack of foreign policy experience. It’s just another example of what an imbecile she is and was.
She had a nasty falling out with the McCain people after losing the election. Part of it, in my opinion, was the McCain’s blaming the loss on her and her stupidity. While I think her ignorance is a fact, it wasn’t a secret fact and if they had bothered to vet her, they would have known. Most believe that she actually increased McCain’s votes. One of her Snafus post-loss was an absolute insistence on going on stage and making a concession speech which, by the way, has never been done by a VP candidate. Instead, she pouted and cried.
By the way, my favorite part of the original Tina Fey skit on SNL, is when “Sarah” pauses for her talent portion – playing the flute.
Inconceivable, the SNL piece was a spoof of her interview with ABC news in which she did say that she has foreign policy experience because Russia was visible from parts of Alaska. SNL just used that and made it more personal. It was the first interview she gave, before the Couric one. The questions in both were light weight and she still came off badly. Plus SNL gave her a guest host spot.
“They’re our next-door neighbors, and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska”:
It’s still pretty bad. Russia really isn’t our “neighbor”. Russia is 5,600 miles away from us.
@Inconceivable, I didn’t say she said she could see it from her house. I did see both the interview and the spoof. And she came across as an absolute idiot in both.
“but I do think she got an unfair shake at public opinion during the election”
how so? she showed us who she is, what she stands for/believes in, and what she knows (or doesn’t know, actually).
and people formed an opinion. what was “unfair” about that?
I ask for forgiveness now as I am going to defend her “we are neighbors” statement. I had to look at a map to make sure and the western most tip of Alaska is very close to the border of Russia and the Aleutian Islands also are pretty close, so I am sure that is what she meant. Many years ago, there was supposed to be a “Land bridge” connecting Russia to Alaska where many thought the people from Russia and Asia walked across to the North American Continent. So, technically, she is correct. Alaska is closer to Russia than to California. Now I have to go scream at myself for being on her side of that argument, but truth is truth.
But I don’t forgive McCain and his advisors for thinking angry female “Hilary Clinton “voters were so dumb that they would vote for their ticket because she is female and attractive. The whole thing was massively offensive. He knew from the beginning the type of person she was and he pushed her on us anyway and now she won’t ever go away.
Ok maybe that’s true but based on that distance, then I guess Bostonians can say that Morocco is our neighbor..hell, so is Greenland and even Portugal.
The truth is that it’s pretty dumb to call any country that is separated from a large body of water our “neighbor”. Canada? Ok sure, that makes sense, but Russia? Eh…
@doofus: What was unfair was the media attacks on her before she even opened her mouth in 2008. She was vilified as a woman, as a mother, as a politician, as a person. You name it, they bashed her for it. And this was way before Katie Couric, or even her convention speech. I distinctly remember Andrea Mitchell being one of the worst. The dripping disdain in her voice after Palin was announced as the nominee was astounding. Andrew Sullivan started the crap about the youngest son being the daughter’s baby. Unbelievably offensive — and, why did it matter? If you don’t think misogyny is alive and well in the US, think again because the treatment of Sarah Palin is Exhibit A (Actually it might be Exhibit B, because the treatment of Hillary in the 2008 primary was Exhibit A; she was bashed left and right because the media fell in love with the Obama narrative — check out some of Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews’ clips during that time. Geez).
Now Palin showed herself to be incompetent with time, and I want her to go away as much as anyone, but that woman never got a fair shake from the media.
I again, ask for forgiveness, but I am a geography nerd and own maps and a globe, and I love to look things up. The distance is pretty small (at least by map standards), so Alaska is a “neighbor” to Russia. Yes, Russia is not a neighbor to the lower forty-eight, it is separated by the Pacific Ocean, but Alaska is very close to Russia, which is why the US always wanted Alaska as it was so strategic to the defense of the United States, especially in the cold war. They were easy to monitor from Alaska, the old Early Warning Radar system used to be along the Alaska border, until we upgraded to satellites. Again, kind of what she said. I feel dirty.
http://www.geographicguide.com/pictures/maps/north-america-3.gif
Palin is still an idiot in my eyes. She is like a broken clock, who can right twice a day, but totally wrong the rest of the time.
“What was unfair was the media attacks on her before she even opened her mouth in 2008. She was vilified as a woman, as a mother, as a politician, as a person. You name it, they bashed her for it.”
while I agree misogyny is alive and well (not just) in politics, and I think that the implication that Trig is actually her grandson is pretty ugly, I don’t recall the media attacking her unjustly about her qualifications. maybe “before she opened her mouth” but not before they did some investigating on her background (5 colleges in 6 years, employment history, “trooper-gate”, etc.).
I guess I just don’t agree that she didn’t get a fair shake from the media. I think she was given a fair chance to prove herself as worthy of the VP position and she blew it, royally. That is, I think people may have had their doubts about her from the get go but gave her a chance to prove them wrong and she didn’t.
@Inconceivable et al
I remember when she said that part about “seeing Russia from land in Alaska” and, as a Canadian, thought: “Umm… Alaska borders Canada a lot more closely than Russia. ” Alas, Canada is forgotten again haha.
Jen2, even if she was technically correct about the proximity of parts of Alaska to Russia, it was still a mindblowingly shallow and weak example of what she thought might pass for foreign policy expertise.
@doofus – I shoukd have explained myself further. I was speaking in regards to how an SNL parody becomes viewed as truth. – like the example of her statement about seeing Russia from her house. Sometimes the skits and parodies are so powerful they overtake the real details which might alter how someone is viewed.
I agree she was not (and still is not) qualified as a VP candidate. But if she is just interested in speaking at rallies and talking politics, I cannot fault her for that. I think I just find all the hatred of her interesting.
@inconceivable
The point is not whether or not Alaska is geographically near Russia. The point is she said that she had foreign policy experience because she was governor of a state that was near Russia. That’s utterly ridiculous.
To Inconceivable!: The thing about the SNL skit is that it WASN’T so over the top that it wasn’t believable, and it was based on an actual statement. that is, it was an exaggeration of something she actually said. I think everyone knows that she didn’t ACTUALLY say “I can see Russia from my house” but it may as well have been verbatim because what she DID say was also just as ridiculous. seriously, you claim to have foreign policy experience because you can see parts of Russia from Alaska? that’s why the SNL skit has the staying power it does, because it was SO CLOSE to reality.
“Sometimes the skits and parodies are so powerful they overtake the real details which might alter how someone is viewed.”
And in this case, as I pointed out, the parody was thisclose to reality…the actual statement made her look just as ridiculous, which is why it was parodied on SNL. and she was ridiculed in the media for her actual statement well before it was parodied on SNL.
“The concept of her” is a very interesting phrase to use and very insightful in regards to Palin.
She is ALL about general ideas and abstract thoughts, platitudes. She can’t talk about specifics to save her life. What this means is that when it comes to politics, she is useless because she doesn’t know or understand how to take a concept and enact it through legislation or policy. Government works through legislation and policy. If you aren’t going to make specific, legitimate suggestions for how to create the vision you are talking about, it is all just useless hot air. Like when she talks about “real Americans”…sounds catchy by means nothing.
ITA with your assessment although I disagree that her “real Americans” comment means nothing. I think it speaks volumes about her fear, hatred and ignorance of any culture that isn’t straight up WASP. But I do agree that much of what she says is indeed short on substance.
Good point, Esmom! Completely agree.
No. Never. I would however pay $99 for her to shut up and have no access to the public.
That is what I was going to say too.
I would contemplate cashing in my 401K if she and the rest of the Teabaggers would disappear.
I wouldn’t pay $99 a year , but I am sure there are others that would .
I honestly thought at first someone was offering to pay me to listen to her.
No bloody way
The Whore of Babble On.
THIS! you made my day Honebee.
you win.
Perfect!
Hahaha!
Super comment.
OMG. Spot on.
Hahahahahaha. Kiddo’s comment up thread near killed me. This one finished me off.
If (rather, when) this venture fails, who will she blame?
It amazes me that her 1980s degree is in broadcast news journalism.
and it only took 5 schools in 6 years to earn that degree.
Well, she WAS in beauty pageants, lol! You know that she had to spend some time away from school to practice for that.
My sister-in-law in Florida, a die-hard Republican, Fox News addict and Bush sycophant, absolutely LOVES Sarah Palin – bought her book, reads it like it’s the bible and forces it down everyone’s throats. So I think she’ll be the only person on the planet who ponies up $99 so bathe in the golden light of Sarah’s wisdom.
Um, I will pay a hundred bucks a year to listen to my man Liam TALK. Or just stare at the camera. Oooh, or do some pushups…I love watching a guy work out.
Who would pay to listen to Sarah Palin? good Lord, she’s an idiot. And that’s being kind.
Her and Jenny Mccarthy need to do a reality show together – stick Jenny in the woods with a cellphone – and Sarah Palin in those same woods with a super loaded super soaker. Jenny would have to not answer her phone nor text while hiding from Sarah and her super loaded super soaker.
But what does Jenny get to do to Sarah?
Be stuck in the woods with her, lol!
So if she quits halfway through the first year, does the suscriber’s get their money back??
In a word NO.
So, is the consensus is that this is a blackmail scheme To get us all to sign up to some “No Sarah Palin dont Need to Speak” fund with proceeds directly to her Just so we dont suffer her anymore?? Cause it seems we’d Pay for THAT
I wouldn’t but if you look at the red/blue election map of the states (doesn’t matter what year), you’ll see there are more than plenty people who would and their friends would too.
I don’t think it can be assumed that just because someone lives in a red state, or votes Republican, that they are a fan of Sarah Palin. I have to give the GOP voters a little bit more credit than that!
@Tiffany
I don’t. I live in a red state, Texas. They’ve elected Rick Perry in 2002, 2006, and 2010, probably would have elected him again this year if he had ran.
Don’t think for a minute that only the poor, undereducated and ill-informed loved her. The rich, well-educated and informed loved her too.
Even after the 2008 debacle, my neighborhood was filled with $65,000 SUV’s with Romney/Palin bumper stickers in 2012 before Romney chose Ryan.
So no, I don’t give them credit.
Good points, allheavens. I am probably being too generous!
I used to live in a red state, so I think about when I lived there with my like-minded friends and try to remember that not everyone follows the same thinking even if they live in the same state…but you are right. Voting history shows that some states do contain a large number of people that agree with Palin, if not specifically, at least in basic ideals.
But would they pay $9.95 a month for her? I know people who like her, but wouldn’t pay 100 bucks a year for exclusive access to her.
$9.95 a month is steep. Netflix, Hulu Plus and Amazon Prime are cheaper with much better content.
Palin is doing the same thing Glenn Beck does/did with Blaze TV. It’s unbelievably successful too. Now he has his own cable channel. I’m praying that she doesn’t end up with her own cable channel.
I peacefully protested her back in 2008, so what do you think? 😛
Why is there a market for someone like this? Sigh.
As to SP, in a word: Never. But as to all the “you can watch her for free on cable” commentary, this is not true. Cable costs far more than $99 a year–where I am, you are lucky to get that price for a month, and then it’s going to double in six months. Lots of people are cutting the cable cord and turning to subscription programming (re: Netflix, Hulu, etc.) that suits their specific tastes, so I do think there is a market for SP’s and PD’s subscription networks.
99 to experience her special brand of stupid? Of course not, I have enough relatives who love her “folksy” persona, and I barely want to be around them, much less listen to this nitwit.
99 to fund her relocation to the sun? Don’t have to ask me twice!
Can we make sure she’s one of the first colonists of Mars? That’s going to be a one-way ticket. (Although I’m confused how they can’t get people back here if they could take them up there.)
Yes! It IS the red planet, after all! 😉
Someone get this woman a stylist. Even an outfit with some assistance from a sales clerk at Nordstrom would be an improvement from that get up!
I seen Sarah was doing boozy stand-up in Denver a couple of weeks ago….pay her? No way.
And this is why McCain and his people will never be forgiven.
I guess she needs the money to pay for her and her daughter’s plastic surgeries. Seems like these reality-show people don’t want to admit their 15 minutes are up.
You couldn’t pay ME to listen to Palin’s opinions.
I’m curious about the one commenter who doesn’t absolutely detest Palin.
What do you tell yourself when others on a site you frequent all agree? Does it make you wonder if you’re missing something? Maybe there’s a book or some news you could read?
Or do you rationalize it somehow?
Well, there are two of us who don’t absolutely detest her. What difference does it make if everybody else feels otherwise on an issue? Free discussion means people can disagree without being bullied into silence. The US Bill of Rights is all about protecting the minority from the majority for that reason. Mainstream isn’t necessarily right.
Now, I wouldn’t vote for her if she were the only one on the ballot and am aggravated with the Republicans for putting her in the VP spot because Presidents DIE sometimes. The VP has to be competent. I don’t think she is. But I don’t hate her. I don’t even hate McCain even though I think he’s another intellectually lazy person who is also manipulative and a liar… But at least McCain managed to learn a few things about the world in the Senate, so we probably would have survived his Presidency.
Honestly, if they just wanted a woman on the ticket- there are plenty of intelligent, articulate, and knowledgeable Republican women they could have (and should have) chosen.
“… there are plenty of intelligent, articulate,and knowledgeable Republican women they could (and should have) chosen.” And that is what angered me. All those intelligent, accomplished women were shoved aside and into the background because McCain, whom the party told couldn’t have his first choice of Lieberman, allowed himself to be talked into agreeing to Limbaugh’s choice because, in the party’s view, Clinton supporters would be angry about her loss and would flock to support a woman, any woman, so let’s have one who espouses the views of the extremist in the party to keep them happy too because they might not show if there is a a woman who thinks for herself on the ticket. And all those competent women have pretty much disappeared in the party. They were nowhere to be seen in the last national election. McCain could have had Olympia Snow, instead he gave a national platform to Sarah Palin and helped drive Snow out of the Senate.
I am tired of the media for giving this moron a platform to spew her hate and ignorance. I’ll to pay to never hear about her again.
Grifters gotta grift…..
Shocking lohan hasn’t thought to do the same yet, or maybe Kris asking for Kredit Kards for Kardashian Knick-knacks
I have no sympathy for this woman and I will never forgive McCain for giving her a platform to spew hate and ignorance.
No one with ANY intelligence takes her seriously. The only ones who thinks she is irrelevant are the ones who would pay $99.95 to hear her spew her “dumb as a dirt fence” venom.
She cannot fade into oblivion fast enough for me.
I don’t think I’d pay $99 a year for a subscription for a direct line to God… But if I had to choose between Sarah and Paula with a gun at my cat’s head, I’d cheerfully choose Paula.
Sarah isn’t congenitally stupid, but she is intellectually lazy and that seems lifelong. Another poster thought the idea that Trig is her grandson (Bristols’s first child) is ugly. I don’t think it’s ugly, but all the evidence does point to it being true. I read her doctor’s strange last-minute statement before the election and it raised red flags galore. She always showed early in previous pregnancies but on that one, she surprised her staff with it at 7 months, experts said she was wearing a prosthetic (obvious at first, a better one later), and then in her alleged 8th month with an allegedly known high risk pregnancy she flew out of state to give a talk and then her alleged water allegedly broke and she flew back to Alaska, bypassing fully equipped neonatal units for her high risk baby with Down’s both in that state and in Alaska for a wild ride to allegedly give birth in an ill-equipped clinic. Then we see the baby a couple of weeks later looking much more developed than his age and Sarah seeming oddly disengaged with him. There’s more, but it’s pretty preposterous to believe that baby came out of her womb. Downs can happen for mothers at any age and very young mothers are less likely to be tested. My bet is that the plan was to have Bristol’s baby quietly adopted but then he was born with Downs and the adoption fell through (prospective parents didn’t think they could deal with the expense etc). So Sarah probably concocted the scheme on the spot (the baby would be covered by Native insurance through her husband), presented herself as pregnant for a few weeks and then “delivered” early. That’s amazingly convoluted for this day and age (and she didn’t try it again when Bristol gave birth again), but women have done that before for their young daughters and I really don’t fault her for it. Yes, she did it for political expediency, which is a new wrinkle. But once you start lying about such a thing, you have to keep lying so it gets messy and more improbable every day… especially with all the pictorial and video evidence today.
I do fault her for using the little guy as a political prop later in situations especially stressful for babies with Downs, and for apparently not taking the early interventions needed for Trig to be all he can be. This may be due to ignorance, though. Her other kids pretty much raised themselves with a lot of help from Sarah’s mom. So Sarah probably didn’t know what to do with Trig, who needed so much more attention. But her husband seemed to delight in the little guy and he obviously was well loved by the other kids, at least by Piper and Bristol.
One random thought: is it possible this is a way to get political donations with no limits?
Pretty much.
AGH! No!
Do any of this woman’s adult children have actual jobs? Did any of them attend college?
To answer the question . . . YES . . . but ONLY if Sarah was TOTALLY NAKED in front of the camera – much like the NAKED NEWS . . . that way I could and would turn the volume to ZERO and simply enjoy looking at her NAKED BODY since I would have NO INTEREST in what she was saying . . . and then I would CANCEL my MEMBERSHIP!

BOTOX! Whoa. Did you see her face?
She looks terrible. She’s exactly the kind of person who will go nuts with the tox and surgery and it will just get worse and worse.
