    #19 Palin explained exactly what she would be doing, weeks ago…the elites refused to believe her because politicians (the ones they like) are not forthright, ever.

    Palin is refreshing that way…she says what she means…she is not triangulating etc.

    Dammit, Bones! That was reminiscent of this, but not nearly as funny:

    William Shatner – “Rocket Man”

    #3 I was surprised how short he is…didn’t expect that…

    The idea he is a god is odd…

    But I did like Star Trek…still do.

    I’m not trolling here, but I honestly do not understand what she means about being a lame duck. I thought she could run for re-election.

    qb: it’s code for “I’m bored.”

    Shatner = Awesome.

    Palin = A person about as smart & independent as an average high school cheerleader.

    She is in NO WAY qualified to even pick up milk at the corner store for me, let alone lead anything or anyone.

    & before you right wing supporter/nutjobs start, know that I’m a recovering civilian who has found out that BOTH parties, the Demo-cants & the Repugnicunts = two wings of the same rotten bird. When will YOU learn this?

    I cannot fathom how anyone could think she could be an intellectual or political threat of any kind unless we have a majority of stupid people in our,.. well perhaps I won’t finish that thought.

    But if anything her foes would cheer her on & keep her in the spotlight so that opposition from her, once offered, would be steamrolled out of relevancy immediately.

    I mean, really? You betcha!

    That was awesome on several levels.

    First of all, it actually works as a pretty-good poem! Not great, but better than many I’ve heard at poetry-slams.

    Second, Shatner is great! He sucks and he knows he sucks but he’s taken sucking to a high art. His sucking only works if he takes his sucking seriously, and he does.

    Thirdly, it’s great to see a funny O’Brien bit. I quit watching him up because he doesn’t make me laugh. I know he’s supposed to be ironic-cool or something but he’s just lame to me.

    I do like his musical guests but that’s not enough for me to watch the whole show.

    I’ll admit to a touch of Palin obsession.

    I find her physically attractive but her politics are repulsive and her stupidity is pathetic. Her groupies are laughable.

    That’s a formula for obsession, if there ever was one.

    >As Limbaugh said on Gretta, the Elites tell us who they fear most…
    >they don’t talk about Hukabee…and they hardly mention
    >Romney…but Sarah Palin they are continually trying
    >to destroy…
    No the its not the Elites (not sure what Elites a euphemism for) it’s the media who will go on and on about any thing that is easy cheap to produce and get people to watch. $arah is a gift to them and Rush knows it.

    >Palin’s strategic move out of Alaska lame duck target status, to
    >begin campaigning in the lower 48, is genius…
    Ya genius like most of what you post here. This word “genius” I don’t think it means what you think it means.
    >I really enjoyed her “small government/pioneer spirit of self
    >reliance against soft tyranny speech…
    Yup she would plagiarize more failed Reagan stuff but she just cant get the lines straight.
    >She, unlike Obama, excites on substance…unlike him, its not a
    >cult following.
    What she’s a Fundamentalist Christian they practically invented Cult.
    Your grip on the world cult is no better than your grip on the word genius.

    I have net Sarah several times I’m sure she is doing what she thinks is best for her, her family Alaska and the USA (please god save us from her)

    Alfred, I see you are still off your meds. No health insurance?

    It would be interesting to see what if any correlation there is with the media’s negative obsession towards Palin versus the President’s poll numbers.

    I agree with #1. The level of spleen some people are showing toward Palin suggests they are fixated to a degree that suggests mental illness. They are so filled with malice they have become unhinged.

    This person is out of office and doesn’t seem as yet to be running for office if ever. Sane people should be largely uninterested and looking at other issues.

    So why are so many so called liberals and so called progressives acting like they took lessons from the KKK, Aryan Nation, and the SS when ever her name comes up?

    The GOP power and idea vacuum is why IT”S ALIVE
    What is keeping her alive is the media and the web when those flames finally die down Palin will do something to stoke the them. Narcissism plus national camera equals love. Sarah has a lot of love.

    As far as she is concerned I’m not a “Real American” and most Americans are not “Real Americans” tough to win a national election on that idea.

    Off topic but more interesting. I didn’t know the health care package was this bad. I thought they’d at least let you pay for better treatment but not according to this. Listen and make your own call.

    First: #14 Alfred. Would you share some of that adult beverage? You are clearly high. Difference between a pitbull and a soccer mom? The soccer mom goes home at the end of the second period.

    Second #23 Shatner isn’t THAT short (5 9), but Conan is tall (6 4). And I’m watching Star trek right now :)

    If incoherent gibberish was currency, Palin would be the richest woman alive.
