Notice from the article that he is calling her current positions clownish, not necessarily her entire career and VP run.

Apparently there is a bitter dispute over her support of Trump and his hatred of the man as not a true conservative.

Personally, Palin interests me for her Conservative principals. Not only that but she hunts and fishes! How many of you could gut a moose? LMAO!

One thing is for sure, she'd be a hell of a lot better as President than this clown Obozo. For one she wouldn't alter defense intelligence reports and actually listen to her CIA briefings in the morning.

I wonder if she plays golf? :hmm:

PS. It's telling that after all these years she still manages to get under Liberal's skin. HAHAHAHAHAHA!

It's a bit more telling that Glen Beck champion of the radical right thinks she's a retard. And that you don't.

Blessed is the Donald, for he hath brought light to the benighted, the ignorant and severely brain defective, Glen Beck. All Hail the mighty Trump. A clown that reveals a clown to a clown is definitely clown approved. Make it so, Moonbeam.

What Glen Beck says, what anyone else says -- never defined my views about Sarah Palin.

I think I watched her emergence closely running up to the 2008 election. I collected several simple facts in my thoughts, including her earlier flirtation with politics in Wasilla City Council. Wasilla had a population of about 5,500 in the year 2000. The population of Alaska is about equal to the population of my own county in California.

One of my university professors from 1972 resettled in Alaska, and I corresponded with him briefly about Palin. His family had come out of an Idaho community, like Palin. He noted that (in his view) Palin was not one of the better Alaska governors.

Now I add to this the babble I've heard from her mouth ever since her debut on the national political stage.

And I add to that the fact that it took her 5 years to graduate through accumulating credits at some 5 universities and community colleges in "Communications" or "journalism."

Whether this offered substance to her role as a propagandist to a half-wit fringe, I can't say. But with the Gabbie Giffords shooting, it left me with a sense that she is nearly clueless in such a role.

Let's add some other things. Alaska is an oil state, and every Alaskan gets an annual stipend drawn from oil revenues. The woman seems clueless that the "God-given" supply of prehistoric muck that fuels our civilization has a limited, finite supply: a Cal-Tech scientist suggests that it may run out in decades --- not centuries. Does she put the cart before the horse in her choice to "disbelieve" global climate change? I can't say. She wants to eliminate the Department of Energy (among other agencies), offering to be Donald Trump's DoE Cabinet secretary. That's a worse prospect than Bush's appointment of a horse-show manager to FEMA.

If I added that she seems dumber than a sack of hammers and nuttier than a bag of squirrel shit, it is obscured by the size of her following. That following seems to correspond with what one writer had called the "paranoid streak" in American politics, with numbers that have been estimated at between 20 and 25% of the voting public.

Damn you OP, damn you straight to hell. You just had to freaking make me agree with Glenn Beck. I really hope Glenn Beck donates his body to science when he dies so that we can figure out what wires get twisted to make that kind of crazy.

If "she still manages to get under Liberal's [sic] skin" means they (and everyone else) laugh uproariously whenever she opens her mouth to spew one of her word salads, you're probably correct.

This is pure comedy gold

"Man, the middle-class everyday Americans are really gettin’ taken for a ride.’ That's status quo, and GOP leaders, by the way, y'know the man can only ride ya when your back is bent. So strengthen it. Then the man can't ride ya, America won't be taken for a ride, because so much is at stake and we can't afford politicians playing games like nothing more is at stake than, oh, maybe just the next standing of theirs in the next election."

is she drunk?

Apparently all the time?

"He who warned, uh, the British that they weren't gonna be takin' away our arms, uh, by ringing those bells, and um, makin' sure as he's riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be sure and we were going to be free, and we were going to be armed." --Sarah Palin, on Paul Revere's midnight ride, June 3, 2011

"Because of that one episode, that one episode, that would turn an issue into what it has become over the last two years. I think that's ridiculous. That's one of those things, where that issue...that I don't read, or that I'm not informed, it's one of those questions where I like to turn that around and ask the reporters, 'Why would it be that there is that perception that I don't read?'" --Sarah Palin, ABC interview with Barbara Walters, Dec. 9, 2010

Sarah Palin, on writing notes on her hand during her Tea Party convention speech: "I didn't really had a good answer, as so often -- is me. But then somebody sent me the other day, Isaiah 49:16, and you need to go home and look it up. Before you look it up, I'll tell you what it says though. It says, hey, if it was good enough for God, scribbling on the palm of his hand, it's good enough for me, for us. He says, in that passage, 'I wrote your name on the palm of my hand to remember you,' and I'm like, 'Okay, I'm in good company.'" (March 5, 2010)

It's like the 1850s and the Whigs, only in modern times.

Thanks, Obama!

Has Glenn been admitted to a mental hospital yet? He isn't right.

Sarah Palin was the reason I voted for Obama. I dislike Obama but it was the lesser of two evils. Had it been McCain with a halfway decent running partner I would have voted for McCain, but I'd be damned if I let that idiot tart into the white house. Although McCain has some questionable acting brain cells as well at least he isn't as completely mentally dysfunctional as Palin is.

Listening to her speak is brutal. I feel like I'm listening to a interview by Peg Bundy.
