MAD AS HELL: On Saying Bye-Bye to Sarah Palin
The Memphis Flyer ^ | December 2, 2010 | Cheri DelBrocco

Posted on 12/04/2010 8:02:14 AM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

For the past two years, the former half-term governor of Alaska has been crammed down our throats via the most cunning PR campaign in political history. Let the sheeple in medialand and the blogospheres stay on top of their mountaintops bleating “We Can’t Quit You Sarah!”—— I’m coming down. It is time to put Grizzly Mama in hibernation during the holiday season by pledging to “Keep December Free of All Things Palin.”

Now that Baby Mama Bristol has failed in her hope to (exact quote)“give a big middle finger to everyone in America that hates my mother and hates me” by winning Dancing with the Stars, the Quitter from Wasilla has fallen back on an expedient.

Big Mama Sarah has, of all things, signed off for her daughter to do an abstinence Public Service Announcement with Mike“The Situation” Sorrentino of MTV’s Jersey Shore and DWTS. That oughta keep the Palin name in the public spotlight!

A new book, a stint as a Fox News contributor, and a “reality” show on TLC: None of that can provide enough exposure for Dame Sarah. What's next? A Potty Training video for Patriot Babies? A Freedom Fighter app for iPad?

Most likely, Sarah will resort to one of her tried and true tactics: hurling a venomous tweet at the President, submitting some snarky Facebook rant about her valiant fight to restore our freedom, or merely (fallback scenario) repeating — and often mangling — hand-me-down GOP talking points in a TV interview.

Above all, she will monopolize as many news cycles as she can to transform her own gaffes into cases of being attacked and maligned by those nasty Liberals. The guilt-trip media will take the bait and allow her to manufacture yet another controversy that can keep her in the public eye for another day.

While all of her self-promotion tactics have been masterful, Palin’s real accomplishment has been to manipulate the Beltway hacks on cable news and talk radio——Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glen Beck, Chris Matthews and others — into a daily discussion of every bit of minutiae stemming from her manufactured controversies. Before we know it, the country has had yet another conversation about what’s up with Sarah foisted on it.

Although she craves to be taken seriously, Sarah Palin is nothing more than a walking media contrivance — the Paris Hilton of politics, famous for being famous. Is she a contendah or a pretendah? Or merely America’s biggest teasah?

Until and unless she gets dead serious about seeking the nomination for President (gulp!), we should tune her out or turn her off.

You, too, can join the effort to ignore Sarah Palin this month. It's easy! Just go to facebook.com and sign on to this premise: “Let’s Keep the Month of December Free of All Things Palin”.

Writing an article about not writing about Governor Sarah Palin? Guess she doesn't see the irony.

The only PR campaign has been the rapid campaign by the left to demonize her.

Do I detect the typical liberal media hatred for anything America, anything pro-conservative and constitution?

Obama’s total failure to do anything positive for America is really getting to these hacks....

Seems the writer is a bit unhinged.

Wow, PMS+PDS= this stupid childish rant.

These people are nuts, writing stories about not writing stories about her. They are just hanging on her popularity coat tails.

Honestly, the Sarah-Palin-derangement syndrome — the pharmas need to develop a new vaccine.

Looks like Ms. Delbrocco never quite got past her glory days as a member of the pep rally squad...

It's easy copy though. Doesn't take any thought or research to fill a few column inches for the week with all Sarah all the time. Liberal scribblers should be grateful, she makes their job easy..

Female PDS, I don’t know what it is about Palin; jealousy I suppose, but it makes a lot of women bare their claws and start shrieking like harpies at the site of her.

This is actually pretty funny, it’s a story written by someone about Sarah Palin that is tired of hearing about Sarah Palin. Wouldn’t everyone talk about her if they were tired of her? lol!

Let the sheeple in medialand and the blogospheres ...

Sheeple was funny the first time it was used a decade ago, now, it just screams "hey, I'm a douchebag who doesn't like it that everyone doesn't think like me"... He just wants his own 'sheep'.
