Words Fail
David Benjamin might have tapped into the psychology:
Sooner or later, words fail everyone. This goes double for Sarah and her faithful. Sarah Palin is the voice - and the embodiment - of the inarticulate.When Sarah Palin says something that doesn't seem to make sense to most of us, her people - the tongue-tied and frustrated - understand perfectly, because that's exactly what they would have said, if only they could.
Of course, my view remains that a celebudoof role model doesn't equal "presidential." If a certain demographic of Americans need a role model, that's fine. Give her a reality show and let's move on.

at least when Hilton speaks, I can understand her

Benjamin nails it! When they say she's "just like us" that's exactly what they mean. She's as inarticulate and ignorant of the facts as they are. That cornpone, phony, slogan speak that arouses the small, fringe wing of the party won't get these loons very far. They're trying to use their ignorance of the facts and bumpper sticker solutions as proof of their ability to grasp what it takes to run this country. Judging by the polls it's clearly not working for the majority of us. You Betcha!

Sadly that demographic = 70% of the people I live around!
Voracious, hypocritical, downright hateful assholes! Mostly just assholes.

Speaking of "assholes," I just read on HuffPo in someone's comment that the term GOING ROGUE is British slang for heterosexual unprotected anal sex.
How perfect would THAT be.
HAHAHAHA. Karma and a half.
Fact-check, indeed.
So hope it's true.

Apparently Moosetress Palin has fooled her followers yet again. Seems she twittered some garbage about the Senate vote last night and forgot not to mention she had just gotten off a plane. The folks standing in line in the rain and cold with their little ones see her pull up in her bus never suspecting she did not travel all the way there by bus. Yeah, folks, she's just like you. Bwahahahaha

Here's the tweet:
# Just got off flt/got word of Senate's disappointing action; USA-do u realize what's up in D.C?Senators-do u realize "change" coming in 2010? about 23 hours ago from TwitterBerry
Sounds kinda like a threat to me.

In retrospect, those "Obama is a celebrity" commercials seem pretty ironic.
This has no business on CNN, MSNBC, or even Fox. She should be completely relegated to 'TMZ' status.
