Not that we should go out of our way to belabor this, but when she continues to throw herself into the public debate I think Democrats should take the opportunity to remind voters that THIS was the person the Republican Party told us only four short years ago was the best qualified person in the nation to succeed an ill and elderly John McCain as commander-in-chief. This arrogant, bigoted, ignorant, self-absorbed clown, this shameless grifter, this shallow quitter, this whining narcissist, this dangerously uninformed, misinformed zealot was the person the GOP decided in all its wisdom was what the country needed in the midst of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.

And after we remind them of all that, we say: If their judgement was so flawed then, what makes you think it's any better now?

Or, to paraphrase Bill Mauer, "We're supposed to believe Sarah Palin is the most ignorant idiot on earth, and that Paul Ryan is some kind of genius. And yet they agree on every single issue of substance?"

As long as half-governor Palin is willing to inject herself into the public dialogue, she's a gift that keeps on giving. But only as long as we tie her to the GOP, every chance we get.

Hell, far from having her disappear, I wish she'd run as a third party candidate. If the Obama people were as underhanded and Machiavellian as the GOP keeps saying, they would have found a way to intice her into such a ploy. Given what a narcissist she is, it wouldn't have been all that difficult.

forget about her, but I think she is a shining example of what the Republican party nominated to run the country. And an occasional reminder of that doesn't hurt.

"she's a gift that keeps on giving..."

I was thinking about the worst, most mediapathic moments in modern campaign history.

Dukakis in the tank, Nixon with the 5:00 shadow, and Sarah with the turkey were the three low points I thought of.

Until this cycle.

Thanks for posting that. I'd been thinking of it lately. It was truly a revealing juxtaposition of the airhead half-governor and harsh reality.

I would post the video, but some people would find it gruesome as Palin talks about "a moment of levity" while the turkey struggles in the background in the decapitation and blood draining jig. Earlier she pardoning a turkey, saying she loves all animals.

Palin actually said something that was right on the money. Her reaction to John Kerry's speech was, "I think he diminished himself by even mentioning my name." Ya think? LOL

I still have PTSD from the 08 election where I had to watch that narcissistic dumbass have a non-stop platform for commenting on issues that she doesn't understand and ripping people who she is so beneath.

She is trailer trash and she never stopped saying ridiculously ignorant statements--while talking down to people who actually are smart, experienced and decent.

It will never get over the freak show that is Sarah Palin--and how she was elevated the status that she did not deserve. She remains a very shameful part of our nation's history.

Lest they forget what passes for a VP Candidate in that crowd, and how they'll do anything and nominate anyone, if they think it will get them a win. Regardless of what is best for the Country.. they'd nominate a trash can, if they thought it would poll well.

And it's freakin' hilarious that she'd unwittingly insult herself.
