Sarah Palin’s big flame-out

How could someone filled with such promise plunge so far, so fast? How does one go from national icon to national laughingstock?

That’s exactly what has happened to Sarah Palin, the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee.

Once arguably the GOP’s most charismatic celebrity, Palin is now better known for “thriving in this role of right wing shock jock” as Nicolle Wallace, a former senior adviser for the John McCain-Palin campaign, now puts it.

It’s a far cry from Sept. 3, 2008, when Palin, then the largely unknown Alaska governor, confidently strode onto the stage at the Republican National Convention as McCain’s running mate and introduced herself to the world. It was a breakthrough moment – supporters saw in her a political outsider, a feisty advocate for conservative values, and a “hockey mom” with five children (including one son on his way to fight in Iraq and another born with Down syndrome).

On the campaign trail, Palin electrified voters portraying herself up as governor who stood up to special interests, lobbyists, big oil companies and the “good-ol’’ boys network.” And to the delight of the party’s base voters, she painted then-Democratic nominee Barack Obama, as an out-of-touch elitist who had nothing to offer but empty promises....

[Diogenesis]

Exactly. Which is why Romney has painted targets
on her and her family's backs.

Read the book. It’s really, really, bad. I mean BAD!

"Book deals" are how the Left pays off its loyal minions who have provided some service to The Party, like Wallace.

“And to the delight of the party’s base voters, she painted then-Democratic nominee Barack Obama, as an out-of-touch elitist who had nothing to offer but empty promises....”

hmmm.

and how was this inaccurate??

[She_is_my_ hero]

I personally called on ‘Calvary’ four decades ago, and I will be on board with the Cav-alry to stand with her and all who stand together with the same.

[kiryandil]

In September 2011, Wallace published the sequel to Eighteen Acres, It's Classified, about a fictional presidential campaign troubled by a mentally-ill vice presidential candidate.

You'd think the Obama White House would have gotten mad about the obvious slur on Joe Biden...

[Ron H.]

Another liberal fantasizing while smoking her left handed joint.

[SuziQ]

Nicole Wallace is one of the people who worked on John McCain’s campaign team, who began to undercut Sarah Palin weeks before the election in 2008. She has continued to do so, since McCain’s defeat. She’s a duplicitous snake, and I wouldn’t believe a word out of her mouth.

Don’t we have any American journalists?

Arabic journalists, telling the lies that American propagandists won’t tell.

[JaguarXKE]

She lives in their heads…you know the rest.

[sgtyork]

Very difficult to miss 2d IDs devotion to Sarah.

[Balding_Eagle]

The point of bringing Rush in was that long ago, really long ago, his show was relegated to the graveyard over and over again.

He ain’t dead, nor will she be dead.

Sarcasm.

Not well done evidently!

[Mariner]

"negative stuff"

Grist for deserved ridicule.

[Mariner]

"I do disagree with her on impeachment. "

Palin knows there will be no impeachment.

She makes the call only to drive a wedge further, deeper between Conservative and the GOP.

And I support her efforts.

[tennmountainman]

If Palin is such a laughing stock, why does the MSM spend so much
time on her?

[kiryandil]

Sie hieß “Aliyah Shahid”. Très intéressant, ce n’est pas comme ça?

MeCain's 2008 liberal advisers, no-class Nicole Wallace & Steve Schmidt, war on Sarah Palin never stops. The MSM love to have them on their shows to trash & ridicule her and those like her, namely The T.E.A. Party.

Free Republic and the Tea Party suffered similar attacks. I'm working up an analysis, because it identifies several things that the Ruling Class worries about.

[kiryandil]

Varys the Schmidt

LOL, **tittering**

[kiryandil]

The gloves would be off, then.

[kiryandil]

I do disagree with her on impeachment.

Think of Sarah as the hockey team enforcer for conservatives/former Republicans left behind by GOPe.

She's just cross-checked the Sunni punk into the boards, and she's washing his face with the rink ice.

She's making the little b*tch bleed, and Simba's loyal Palace Guard is crying in horror.
