Could we please not forgive Sarah Palin? She is an unrepentant nightmare (PDS uber alles)

The Guardian ^ | February 17, 2015 | Lindy West

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Conservative pundit Sarah Palin made a cute, sporting little cameo on Saturday Night Live’s 40th anniversary show this weekend – winking at her own disastrous 2008 vice-presidential run, which was memorably skewered at the time by SNL’s Tina Fey. In the bit on Sunday night, Palin piped up during a Q&A with Jerry Seinfeld to ask, “Just curious, Jerry, how much do you think [SNL producer] Lorne Michaels would pay me if I were to run in 2016 with Donald Trump as my running mate?”

The Guardian is a real cesspool

I thought that was hilarious. Don't forget that part about Trump.

Quite a hate-spew, Lindy dear. Put some ice on it.

How was her 2008 run disastrous, except that Obama beat McCain?

[2ndDivisionVet]

Umm, since when are the vice-presidential nominees responsible for the fate of the ticket? Is anyone blaming Lloyd Bentsen, Jack Kemp, Paul Ryan or even John Edwards for the failure of their ticket? Gov. Palin was the only glimmer of hope that John McCain ever had of beating the force of nature that was the 2008 Obama campaign, but he threw it away with the pause of the campaign and not allowing Palin to go to states that were probably winnable. He took a dive.

“her own disastrous 2008 vice-presidential run...”

Rewriting history. McCain was dead-in-the-water. Palin re-ignited his foundering campaign. Only thing that kept him from losing by 30 pts.

[Fledermaus]

If not for Palin, McLame’s money would have run out and he’d have gotten beat by 10 points. Instead, a few weeks out he was ahead in the polls and BLEW IT “suspending” his campaign to “head back to DC to solve our 2008 economic crises” and looked like an insider fool doing it. (I know, repetitive)

When I watch Palin goofing around on SNL, I see teenage girls being denied abortions (after years of abstinence-only education, of course). I see women convincing themselves that it is somehow “capable and strong” to be a doormat for the status quo. I see gay Americans being denied access to their partners’ death beds. I see regression and grief. I have no interest in laughing with her – only at her.

Haters gonna hate. I could probably boil it down to Sarah being more attractive than Lindy.

Almost anything is worth it to foil another shrub going to the white house.... go Sarah...even with the Donald.

[The_Media_never_lie]

The GOPe running old, non-charismatic RINO McCain was disastrous for the country. Palin put life into McCain’s sinking candidacy.

And yet there a thread up from one far newer than I, which suggests Chicago has a secret torture room or some such thing used by cops. All posed by the ever truthful Guardian.

This screed is laughable.

Lindy West is still cheesed from the time the Palins went walrus hunting and bagged half of Lindy's immediate family...

It was disastrous for the USA because Obama won.

The left’s war on women continues.

Sarah Palin is the most powerful woman in America and she doesn’t hold an elected office!

[lee martell]

We are talking about the ‘Rahm The Godfather’ here, the same guy who stuck his fork into a plate of baked fish when speaking of defeating political opponents. He wanted them ‘dead, dead DEAD!”

We are talking about one of Rahm’s brothers; Ezekiel, who helped design the death panel aspects of Obamacare. Ezekiel has said many times that “People should die at age 75, to help make way for the productive young and better use of social service resources.”
Is a secret ‘torture room’ so out of the question? I think not.

[COBOL2Java]

"It was disastrous for the USA because [McCain and the GOPe let] Obama won win."

There, fixed your post for you.

[jazusamo]

Ah yes, Lindy from Seattle, nothing more needs saying. LOL!
