They always come in with their seeming irreverence and their new catchphrase that is just so charming, but trust me; a full season of her in the regular cast would show that the writers are tired.<br /><br />Fucking Mary Sues.Cüneythttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09839492265797382364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461044.post-18799702464532571422010-10-14T19:59:43.453-05:002010-10-14T19:59:43.453-05:00Brian, I'm both laughing and feeling empatheti...Brian, I'm both laughing and feeling empathetic shame right now. <br /><br />To the extent you're agreeing with me I'm laughing. To the extent you're not, I'm wondering why, and feeling some empathetic shame. The shame part is conjecture as I'm not sure whether you're laughing along with me or snarking at me.<br /><br />I have a hard time seeing how worrying about Sarah Palin gets anyone anywhere if their aim is to improve the society in which they live. But if there are cogent arguments in support of that worry, I'll entertain them.<br /><br />To me it's like arguing over whether the Dallas Cowboys were better under Tom Landry or Jimmy Johnson. We're still just talking about entertainment, even if it's serious shit like pro football and America's Team.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461044.post-88074573917329238342010-10-14T15:21:48.331-05:002010-10-14T15:21:48.331-05:00Hey, Charles.

This one crosses partisan lines, and puts Wm F Buckley-ites in bed with Rachel Maddow-ites.<br /><br />Sarah Palin shocks people who want to believe there is a Stereotypical American archetype that cannot be breached or broken -- totalitarians, essentially. Many of these people who are so shocked are well-educated and consider themselves "sophisticated" (or the like) despite their obvious inability to stomach the idea of a mother who hunts and whose teenage daughter is a typical American Teenage Girl.<br /><br />Basically, those who are shocked by Sarah Palin are embarrassed that people like Sarah Palin not only exist, but have large numbers of existential analogs in the American populace.<br /><br />They are dismissed by most snotty elitist "professionals", yuppies, "progressives", liberals, and general Corporate Drone types from both parties, all of whom wish America were just a bunch of plain-jane capitalists who attend a conservative religious service Sunday mornings, play golf on Saturday afternoon, belong to a Country Club or Book Group or have Season Theatre tickets etc, believe in "growth" and "progress" as unquestionable human values -- especially when manifest materially instead of metaphysically.<br /><br />Personally, I really like the way Sarah Palin pisses off so many people. It really reveals who is a totalitarian thug, and who isn't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461044.post-85229558688359358362010-10-13T14:15:56.542-05:002010-10-13T14:15:56.542-05:00It's true.

Perhaps another "mainstream" famous Republican in the mid-90s) and his novel featuring, among other things, bears raping little girls. Weirder than an evangelical Christian pretending to have "dabbled in witchcraft" any day, but not a whisper in the mainstream press.Rachelnoreply@blogger.com
