'Washington Post' Publishes Sarah Palin OpEd
You know what? I'm not going to link to it. They shouldn't be rewarded with the clicks, which is pretty much what this is about, I figure. So here's the email we just got from the Washington Post, announcing tomorrow's piece of Palinography:
Sarah Palin WashPost Op-Ed: Obama Should Boycott Copenhagen
SARAH PALIN WRITES OP-ED FOR WASHINGTON POST and writes that without trustworthy science and with so much at stake, Americans should be wary about what comes out of the politicized climate change conference. The president should boycott Copenhagen.
Jennifer Lee
Manager, Communications
The Washington Post
Who ghostwrote it?
Christonhisthrone why am I still at work?
Bill Ayers…Wait a darn minute! He was the ghost writer for Obama's first book.
RONBO!!!!!!
Sarah Palin may have done many, many things in her life, but writing is not one of them. I doubt she can find Copenhagen on a map, name the country it's in, or even spell it.
Seriously. How is this aborted fetus of a political joke (gone moldy a year ago now!) still managing to keep herself a story? Short of literally sticking her head into her own gaping vagina and whistling Dixie out the other side, I can't think how she could be a bigger joke to her party. And to this country.
/rant
I was gonna say something serious about how she is, like it or not, a major political figure etc etc. But now I've got my head atilt, left (good) ear aimed to the wind, listening for the faint sound of a whistled Dixie.
Sarah Palin's school records are in the public record and indicate an above average student. Barack Obama's school records, like his birth recors, are guarded by a posse of Leftard lawyers.
BTW, your crude sexist remark about Palin's vagina is tantamount to drawing First Blood and allows me to make an equally crude remark about Obama's lack of a penis….or balls.
There's so much suck in your reply, I can't figure out where to start.
For example: anti-Palin does not equal pro-Obama.
Oh good, this guy's still around.
Worst. Retort. Ever.
tags: the continuing death of journalism, anything she can do I can do better, no wonder the washington post is going down the tubes
PALIN COMPARISON.
Yeah, who does she think she is, Bono?! JAMES FRANCO!?
Exactly!
At least Bono–and I have been a Bono-criticizer for a long time!–knows something. Since he's been a community organizer for 20 years and all.
And James Franco was writing in the Arts section. :)
Bono knows something? And what would that be about? Africa? Pahhhlease. 3rd World debt? The rebuttals to Bono's op-eds are legion.
Sean Penn anyone? What of Vanity Fair's whole first-person Levi Johnston preposterousness? I didn't see that many on the left complaining about that.
It's a stunt by a newspaper. Yay. So what. What's more, it's an op-ed. If anything should be upsetting it's that the op-ed pages of newspapers like the NYT and WaPo and [NAME HERE] have become the most read, most emailed, even on days without a glorious traffic-draw like Palin, Penn, Bono, etc etc.
I CANNOT BELIEVE you are going to put me in the position of defending Bono. That is a dark place to which I would not like to go!
However, I will get in bed with NEARLY everyone who lobbies for third world debt relief.
Who you calling "on the left," anyway, boy? I'm a lesbian- and freedom-loving Republican that the Republican party left behind several decades before I was born.
*HUGS*
Also I call false analogy. She's a politician and actually the dictionary definition of demagogue (see also: death panels); the examples you bring up are artists (or "artists"!) meddling in lobbying. Sometimes quite poorly!
You do realize that outs you in bed with Natalie "Meat is rape" Portman, right?
Abe–Bono's got you on one point. What does he know? Bono!?
"I'm not afraid
of anything in this world
there's nothing you can throw at me
that I haven't already heard"!
Take that!
Meanwhile, I agree, who does email those NYT op-eds? And why does Choire like Bono so much?
WHAT?! She is (currently) an author. She holds no office nor is she currently running for one any more than Alec Baldwin (who is always threatening to run for one). Are authors not artists? AND I would say that if she did qualify as a politician does she not then have MORE reason to be found in the op-ed section pontificating on political things more than, say, Mia Farrow?
But seriously, can we get Nic Cage writing some op-eds. THAT I would endorse.
As long as neither of you bad-mouths (heh) James Franco, I still love you both.
Abe: did you just call Sarah Palin an artist? I'm frightened/turned on.
The difference between Palin and Bono et al is that Palin actually has political influence over a wide swath of the American electorate. And apparently libidinal influence over HiredGoons.
Actually, it was Abe turning me on by making the analogy. I'm a card-holding same-marriager.
Ah of course, the old literary device fetish. Like the old friend of mine from school who every time he heard more than a few alliterative consonants bolted the room clutching his jock.
The next president of the United States, if some Leftard doesn't assassinate her first. Already she has been attacked by Tomato Man. The next time it may be "Gun Man."
Yeah, because nothing says anti-Republican democrat nut like "gun man."
Why is "Gun Man" in quotes and not Tomato Man?
Ronbo, do the words "New to Jezebel" mean anything to you?
Trying to come up with a Jenny 8. Lee joke & failing.
If Obama boycotts Copenhagen, does that make him a Skoalrebel? (look it up)
SCREW boycotts. You know what we should do? COMPLETELY IGNORE WHATEVER HAPPENS THERE!
You're gross, Washington Post.
I've been ignoring the Washington Post for years!
A typical member of the Lamestream Leftard Media that's going out of business and begging for a government handout.
The Washington Post is not foolish, their readership will go up 10 fold tomorrow! Why is Obama going to Copenhagen? To donate billions so other countries can comply with what a bunch of radical dishonest scientists dictate?
No, that is not why.
Are you sure? I'm pretty sure that's why!
(Kiddings.)
Occam's (crazy) razor says it's totally why.
Well that's ONE reason why, but it's not the only reason why.
Oh those radical scientists! With their… facts, and… empirical evidence…
I'm staying up all night to see if their readership goes up 10 fold tomorrow. Also, I'm having another cocktail.
I will join in you in glass of Sake.
Are you talking about the 300 government funded Leftard POLITICAL Scientists who see Global Warming in one set of tree rings from Siberia, or the 31,000 REAL scientists who say the world is in the early stages of Global Cooling that has nothing to do with industrialization?
Global Cooling. The D&G kind?
QUIET! You making the insane Leftard majority who post here very upset! Like an orderly in a psycho ward keep repeating over and over, "It's going to be okay. Everything is going to be okay. Sarah Palin will not be signing books in the day room today!"
If all right-wingers are as staunch and intelligent as you, I do not fear for the continued existence of the Republican party.
We really have to declare a moritorium on adding -tard to the end of words.
And anyway, it's Libtard, not Leftard.
I had to wear my Boottards today because of all the Snowtard outside.
I can't stop laughtarding!
The Black Eyed Peas just called, they like their "Tard" back.
That must have been one hell of a Gridiron Dinner.
If she holds her breath long enough it will all just go away. Or she will. Either way, we all win.
I could say the same thing about Obama, but I won't. Like a good card carrying member of the Republican Party, I want Fearless Leader Zero to remain in good health for his Impeachment.
Stop it, you're exciting yourself.
Who approved her for commenting? Please Awl People, when you finally and deservedly take charge of the Worldternet, revoke her privileges.
Bill Kristol put in a good word for her.
So we're all just cool (ironically detached cool, of course) with the world going to shit, then? Snarky comments over getting involved, because OMG that's so much work and who has time when blog posts need writing?
Just checking. It's all good…I'll be over here actually trying to change shit, and getting your gay marriage thing and whatnot. No, don't get up – I got this, we cool.
Personally, I'm working on overthrowing the leadership of Uganda.
while you're up get me a beer. i'll be eating sardines and trying to eradicate polio by not coming down with it.
This is actually part one in a five part series. #'s 2-5 involve Crop Circles,2nd Shooters, Darwin and Tinky Winky giving kids subliminal messages.
how much in dollars is a pageview worth? because i'd rather just mail palin a check instead of reading her schmutz. i'd consider it a subsidy for blogging in addition to the stupid washington post – after all if nobody publishes her we won't have palin to kick around anymore. . .
kidding, i'm not sending out checks, who am i, graydon carter at fucking "spy" magazine?
You are the poster boy for government schools!
While you appear to be the poster boy for no school at all.
You are the poster boy for 1 trick pony.
Almost. I was gov't schooled all the way up until I attended a fancy private college. I'd say I'm more the poster boy for sardines w/ "Louisiana Hot Sauce" because them shits is good.
That website you got there get you laid? Or maybe more of a "don't bother dad when he's in the converted garage" type situation?
This is like the Thanksgiving dinner I avoided this year, due to "work!" And they say you can never go home again!
Is this the first Awl flamer? Or just the first one I've noticed? So proud of you The Awl! You are big enough for people to hate!
And "big enough to hate" means "too big to fail"…
Oh, who the fuck cares. When the ice caps melt she'll be the first to drown anyway.
I love you.
Or to be eaten by a Polar bear. Win-Win-Win.
The ice caps will melt the same day the hot air goes out of Algore, who is very busy turning a low I.Q. and severe personalty disorder into a pretty good living spreading the religion of Global Warming.
It's capitalism, honey. And how's that working for you?
Doesn't the Right support the right to bear tomatoes?

Ronbo, do the words “New to Jezebel†mean anything to you?"
Actually I'm new to Salt Lake City, Utah. I moved here from California last August. Actually the Democommies ran me out of California because I was the last Republican living there. Actually, I am currently the president of the "California Republicans In Exile."
Our motto is, "WE SHALL RETURN!"
Isn't the governor of California a Republican? Does he commute from Tijuana?
He's a Republican in registration only as far as the far-far-far right wing of the party is concerned – aka, the base.
Translation "I lost all my money on real estate in the Inland Empire, and I'm currently in stealing wifi from the LDS Temple, while my car is parked outside. Send fresh underwear/socks."
Actually I'd expect Intertube character of Ronbo's calibre to sniff at the idea of clean socks.
Gasp! Acknowledgment from Ronbo!!
Happy day!
I feel like my reply should contain the word "actually"… Ooh, I know! Is this actually performance art?
Dude–
While I haven't done the research–can you explain (adequately) Sarah Palin's school records to us? What "Above average" student has to attend five different colleges to get one degree?
& agree with others here that when you get in to birther territory–I tend to tune out–like when my neighbors starts talking about "chemtrails" or when one of my "above average" students starts trying to assert that the moon landing was faked–and she was above average, and she did assert that–so Palin's in good company–a whole fucking country of Rocket Scientists.
(I'm new here, above was for "Ronbo" apologies)
Chemtrails?
(google)
Oh god, that is hilarious.
Ronbo was linked to awhile back. He has a pretty, uh, interesting website. I'm kind of suspicious as to his actual identity as some of his answers are a little too pat and delicious.
