Maureen Dowd: Sarah Palin as Punch Line on ‘Saturday Night Live’ Special

The New York Times First Draft ^ | February 17, 2015 | Maureen Dowd

[2ndDivisionVet]

Sarah Palin during an audience question-and-answer session at the "Saturday Night Live" 40th-anniversary special last week.

Sarah Palin in 2016?

Even she thinks that

[EveningStar]

I think they only dated. They were never married.

You know laz
I’m driving across Moodle and East Tennessee today about 300 miles of what amounts to significant ice and snow fall for us on I 40 which requires a fair amount of concentration especially for me and seeing that post made me chuckle out loud
It’s funny really the divergence on this forum over sexual mores
I’ll bet there are some freeper women that blush when They see these threads and remember perhaps some of their own debauchery when they were younger

[Apparatchik]

Apparently she knows it, too, the way she’s giving Palin the stink eye.

To Spielberg’s right is his wife, Kate Capshaw, also an actress in the Indiana Jones franchise.

[hrh40]

When and where did Ted announce he was running?

[hrh40]

Thank you for finally revealing on whose behalf you wrote that very wordy apologetic.

You’ve “moved on” from Palin to the man who said he wouldn’t be in the U.S. Senate if it weren’t for Sarah Palin?

I’m sure Ted Cruz appreciates your support whilst insulting his “very good friend.”/sarc

[Lazamataz]

Be nice to Catherine or I will do you one.

[CatherineofAragon]

I love a man who stands up for a woman.

Thank you, Laz.

[itsahoot]

The dress was maybe ok but the shoes with that dress were awful.

Those shoes are all the rage but personally I would prefer combat boots on women. The dress was made on an old flour sack pattern and looked horrible time will tell i suppose if the appearance was good or bad.

It has not made me change my tag line in any case.

55 years a republican-Now Independent. Will write in Sarah Palin, no matter who runs. $.98-$.89<$.10

"Thank you for finally revealing on whose behalf you wrote that very wordy apologetic."

Well, I wrote it on my behalf, so I'm not sure what you're talking about. Interesting, though, that you single my post out as "wordy", when your history shows that your own posts are quite wordy themselves, often overwrought, and almost without exception, about a single topic---Sarah Palin.

"You’ve “moved on” from Palin to the man who said he wouldn’t be in the U.S. Senate if it weren’t for Sarah Palin?"

Yes, I've seen you post about your disapproval of Cruz. That's your choice, of course.

And yes, I am aware of that particular statement of his. So what? I said in my earlier post that I appreciate her contributions to conservatism. What do you want---hero worship of the kind practiced by you?

Not gonna happen.

"I’m sure Ted Cruz appreciates your support whilst insulting his “very good friend.”/sarc"

I'm not privy to Cruz's inner thoughts and feelings, and neither are you. Anyway, does it matter? Ted's not my husband or my brother or my close friend. I believe he's a decent man, and he has my support.

You seem to imagine some kind of personal relationship between political candidates and yourself. Maybe you need to take a step back. I've seen you post in an accusatory manner about "not following Sarah Palin very closely", as though obsession is a positive thing. It isn't.

[Lazamataz]

Right or wrong, I got you. You’re my wife, after all.

Or at least I wish. :)

[CatherineofAragon]

*SMOOCH*

I don’t understand how somebody hasn’t snapped you up.

[2ndDivisionVet]

You don’t hire a platoon of campaign specialists, rent an office and go to Iowa three times a week if you’re not running, FRiend.

[Chauncey Uppercrust]

Love Sarah period. But Ms Dowd says of Paul McCartney that he is not a hater, because he backs up Ms Swift...as if she knows that Paul would not like Taylor Swift??? or that she assumes that he would not like Taylor Swift...what`s that about?

[Garfunkel Oates]

UPDATE:Final Midterms Tally After 3 More Of Gov.Palin’s Endorsed Candidates Win In Louisiana; 21 Winners From 23 Endorsed
Preamble:

Hillary helped 24 Dem candidates this election; 14 lost. Sarah Palin helped 22 & 20 of those won.

Brown lost for Governor despite strong support of the state’s Dem establishment & visits to Maryland by Obama, Michelle Obama, Bill &Hillary Clinton.
President Obama has lost nearly 70 seats in the House since taking office more seats in midterm elections than any president since Truman

Leftists,with their “Palin is irrelevant”meme utterly exploded as she, one by one fills up the senate especially with her endorsed candidates (Ayotte/Cruz Fischer etc etc) now try and attack the SuperPac which donates on her behalf. “Millions flood in but Palin only donates small amounts and keeps the rest for herself and other such nonsense (The mad blog “Wonkette’s staff are particularity adept at that stupidity).

What they don't advise is that the Pac is limited ot $5,000 per donation.That amount, whilst of value, pales compared to the greatest value which is the fact of Palin’s endorsement and of course her time in active support. Fischer, Ayotte, Haley, Cruz to name a few all owe their elections to Palin’s endorsement. Here below are her latest and most impressive success rate wise, endorsements.
