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”.

Yeah shut up Sarah, you have no right to call attention to the Fu**head destroying our country.

Cheri DelBrocco sounds like she’s a real hater. Help stamp out PDS because ink is a terrible thing to waste.

it reminds me of when AOL chat rooms came out, and you would offend someone, so they would tell everyone how they put you on ignore.

which really meant... you weren’t on ignore

those who really wanted to ignore you, did so quietly, those looking for a fight shouted it to the whole chat room

It is obvious that the “Bush Derangement Syndrome” (BDS) has morphed into PDS as the semi-Intelligensia of the progressive-left now look for the next boogyman to blame all of their hatred of the non-left America upon. Surely there is an entry in the Physician’s Reference for PDS or Palin Phobia because it certainly is a virulent mental disease!

The only thing that’s being crammed down our throats are these constant attacks on Sarah Palin. The attacks say very little of substance or merit.

As for me I am taking the month off from intense Palin Blogging to watch the Christmas stories on TV.
Sarah Palin’s Alaska episodes are good story lines for future Chraistmas stories. Snow Snow and more Snow remind me of Alaska and Christmas.
Imagine Bristol Palin in an original Hallmark Chrsitmas story.
Hope they show the Palin's home for Christmas. Much better than seeing Chairman Mao Christmas tree ornaments at the White House.

“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.”

Guess the writer forgot to mention “the former half-term senator of Illinois” who crammed down our throats the greatest amount of happy horsesh!t in political history. How convenient that so many people forget that he, also, quit mid-term to seek higher office.

She looks like Wilma Flintstone. Of course, Wilma wasn’t real but did you ever notice that Wilma and Barney Rubble didn’t have pupils (in their eyes)? They looked like sharks or Raggedy Ann dolls. Fred and Betty Rubble did have eyes.

OK so my point is, I think Wilma Flintstone had an affair with Barney, left Fred, magically came to life, changed her name to Cheri Delbrocco and started writing stupid stuff.
Like this.

My, my, isn’t this interesting. They just over played their hand and let slip that they’re all following the playbook. What are the odds that two articles by different journalists banning the mention of Palin come out within hours of each other?

Right. Using all the media outlets she owns.

Actually, the press monkeys have learned that all they have to do to attract attention is include Palin's name in the headline. They are the ones who won't give it up.

They are the ones who are obsessed with her.

Her supporters like her. They aren't obsessed with her.

Sarah Palin is nothing more than a walking media contrivance

Really? Then stop writing about her. Just stop.

Can't do it, can you?

The Left is in a full panic, they see "us" coming, and they have focused their fear and hatred on her. But its us, that is, normal people they hate. She happens to be a handy target, and the one that has captured their attention right now. If someone else stands up, they'll get the same treatment.

Say what? Only one of the four qualifies as a beltway hack, and its the barking moonbat leftist.

Why? She's no worse than any other celebrity out there.

And no, she wasn't "crammed down" anyone's throat. She's made use of her fame by appearing in the usual places celebrities appear, and hasn't embarrassed herself any more than they have. She's no more obstreperous than anybody else on television.

Now if she does president, that's when a lot of people will turn her off. They'll have reason to if she doesn't do her homework. But for now, I don't have a problem with her.

Think of it all -- a political figure doing the celebrity circuit -- as payback for years of actors meddling in politics and hanging out with politicians.
