Comments on: SARAH PALIN AS JOHN GOTTI

Lady MacBeth had dignity. Sarah Palin does not.

She has fumbled and bumbled her way through politics and the media, confident that her rally runts will stay by her side, buy her books and believe everything she says. She felt she could handle the campaign (by herself). She felt she could go the first four years of the governorship. She felt she did not have to address the situations of Trig, Tripp, Johnston, GOP clothes and a pregnant, unmarried Bristol.

People are laughing at her and she knows it. It’s obvious that she doesn’t care.

But should we be laughing at her or at her followers? Laughter has the uncanny ability of silencing hypocrites. So if people had started laughing sooner (at the campaign rallies), maybe there would be no political Sarah Palin. (Sorry, but a SNL sketch does not carry the same weight as half of the country.

As to her family and the media, she dragged them around on the campaign trail and then expects them to be off limits to the media while in a custody battle? Come on.

And as to her lying: the Oprah interview proves that she lies so handily. What mother would say “Of course, we want to take him into the fold” then be part of the custody battle? When asked about her now infamous “Thanksgiving answer” Levi Johnston answered that he could see when she laughed about it, she was lying all the time.

Palin is a clueless politician: she only listens to herself. And when the Palin-mania quiets down, she’ll have to come to grips with the fact that her veneer has cracked and people took a good look at her – and found nothing inside.

Her only recourse then: to get a chronic liar’s job…at Fox News Channel.

Can we discuss things without it being left vs right broad brushes? That blog link calls Palin “one of the most powerful and easily the most famous celebrity in Alaska”; where is that wrong?

He has consistently portayed her as an utter lightweight and a
national joke. Now he wants us to believe she’s the crafty spawn
of Lady MacBeth and Machiavelli.

That’s been the left’s MO since at least Ford: all Rs are dunces except when they’re acting as the reincarnation of Machiavelli meets Mephistopheles–the only irritating thing about it nowadays, is that anyone buys it. (Which, I guess, speaks volumes about the IQ of the average Lefty.)

Sullivan makes an excellent point. Palin may not be gov. anymore but Alaska is a small (population) state and she does have too much power.
I believe that $arah is behind this 100%. If she would just stop being so vindictive and hateful, Bristol and Levi just may have worked this all out themselves. Palin has a track record of having to be in full control of everything, all the time.

God, it never fails: you post something about Sullivan, and his merry band of lunatic followers come creeping out of the woodwork. What does the guy do? Throw up a ‘bat signal’ (featuring his milky glutes, of course)?!

Palin’s current job status aside, the wealthy can use our courts to get the outcomes they want for themselves if they’re willing to pay for it.

I don’t see why these proceedings shouldn’t be entirely transparent, just as my parents divorce proceedings were.

“Sullivan has never dismissed Palin as just ‘insignificant.’�?

You’re wrong on this. But, even if this were the one opprobrious adjective he hasn’t used on her, that’s not the point.

He has consistently portayed her as an utter lightweight and a national joke. Now he wants us to believe she’s the crafty spawn of Lady MacBeth and Machiavelli.

It’s absurd.

Sullivan has never dismissed Palin as just “insignificant.” Intellectually lacking and uncurious, yes- which is why the idea that she could accumulate real political power is so creepy. Glad to see Levi is making a point of forcing her to air her dirty laundry in public if she’s so intent on picking on him!
