She Who Must Not Be Discussed (According to Paul)...

Sarah Palin has become the Zsa Zsa Gabor of politics.

Joe Szilagyi on January 18, 2011 at 8:54 AM

Gaahhhh, I am so done with Palin. If I never see her face or hear her voice or hear her name again I will be a happy camper.

despicable me on January 18, 2011 at 9:01 AM

I'm thinking we've reached the point where it will be newsworthy if Sarah Palin says something right...

Canuck on January 18, 2011 at 9:03 AM

Can she stop getting press? Newt Gingrich is a better politician and he runs an award scam.

svensken on January 18, 2011 at 9:04 AM

that woman is such an asshole.

Adrian Ryan on January 18, 2011 at 9:12 AM

This woman is so on the defensive that she can't even say 'I didn't know what the term meant. My bad.' Which is what she should say.

Hell, I consider myself to be a relatively well educated liberal, and I didn't know what it meant before this whole kerfluffle.

Her inability to admit even the simplest, most forgivable mistakes reminds me of W. Ugh.

disintegrator on January 18, 2011 at 9:13 AM

I've been saying we should stop talking about Palin for a while now. Stop giving her so much of your mental bandwidth and instead fill that with something that actually matters and will make the world a better place.

I'll make cookies for the entire staff of The Stranger if you can go a week without mentioning her on SLOG.

If you keep paying attention to trolls and giving them feedback, they will keep coming back.

bconnolly on January 18, 2011 at 9:15 AM

Refudiated!

Urgutha Forka on January 18, 2011 at 9:23 AM

I think we liberals are her base. Meaning, her role is to trivially inflame us while the Republican leaders work their mischief outside our notice. Ann Coulter's old job.

Superfrankenstein on January 18, 2011 at 9:23 AM

@5 an asshole and an idiot. She believes she cannot be wrong. (what 6 said, obviously).

STJA on January 18, 2011 at 9:24 AM

She's not clever enough to be an asshole. Newt Gingrich is an asshole. Sarah Palin is an idiot in the original sense of the word. She's also a problem of epic proportions for the Republicans and this should make me happy except she is also a problem for the rest of us. She Who Must Not Be Discussed: oh, how I wish that could be true. If we could turn back time to when we said "Sarah---who?" Ah, just one more thing to blame John McCain, what a legacy he is leaving, hmm?

Bugnroolet on January 18, 2011 at 9:25 AM

@canuck: We reached that point about a minute after learning who she was.

fallen angel on January 18, 2011 at 9:28 AM

#7: I think I'm going to do that. A half-dozen cookies or cupcakes or a homemade loaf of Portuguese sweet bread will be awarded to an employee of The Stranger who makes 35 posts per week on SLOG (Line Out does not count) without any mention of a certain sociopathic greedy attention-whore, delivered the following Monday.

@14 OMG, we might CHANGE THE WORLD with COOKIES

NaFun on January 18, 2011 at 9:41 AM

Whose words are in the box ("actually, it's much more than that…")?

AppleCapital on January 18, 2011 at 9:47 AM

I just hope that the Democratic Party doesn't make the mistake of taking for granted that she will be their main opponent in the next Presidential race. In some ways, that's what the Republicans did when they clearly assumed that Clinton was the only real candidate and prepared their whole campaign in reaction to her candidacy - including, I think, Palin (to defuse the "woman" issue - "See, we have a woman, too, vote for us!")

Take the threat of a Palin candidacy seriously, but in addition gear up for the very real possibility of someone else, especially an overtly and believably religious male Republican candidate like Huckabee.

Lymis on January 18, 2011 at 9:56 AM

How many times do I have to tell you people? "Blood libel" means being accused of having sex on your period.

OuterCow on January 18, 2011 at 10:03 AM

@18- Now *that's* a stoneable offence! Stone her, stone her now!

OutInBumF on January 18, 2011 at 10:18 AM

@1: Oh please, don't insult Zsa Zsa!

Phoebe on NE 79th on January 18, 2011 at 10:19 AM

@Canuck, yes, exactly!

Jamie in Pittsburgh on January 18, 2011 at 10:23 AM

My eyes are suing Palin for shit libel

Cynic Romantic on January 18, 2011 at 11:27 AM

@1 . is they fidna cut off her legs ?

reverend dr dj riz on January 18, 2011 at 11:30 AM

I can't wait to hear her definition of "final solution."

Nofo on January 18, 2011 at 12:11 PM

@ 7, @14, and @ 15 -- I agree! I'll be more than happy to provide cookies or even a couple of Cheese Onion Bread Braids for the entire Stranger Staff if SLOG can avoid posting anything about "She who cannot be named" for one entire week. Starting now!

WildwoodGuy on January 18, 2011 at 12:25 PM

@25, I think you're onto something with your delicious food bribe. Maybe only better eating can coax the lamprey of Slog off the shark that is Palin, Inc.

gloomy gus on January 18, 2011 at 1:09 PM

@7,14,15,25 & 26 - I make one hell of a homemade cheesecake and I'm willing to get in on some of that action.

on January 18, 2011 at 1:33 PM

@26: THAT'S A FUCKING REMORA. SEE THE FINS? SEE THE JAW STRUCTURE? THAT'S A BONY FISH, NOT A LAMPREY.
*nerdrage*

venomlash on January 18, 2011 at 1:55 PM

Love you, venomlash.

OuterCow on January 18, 2011 at 2:01 PM

@28: Agree, and I think the remora is a better analogy anyway, as a lamprey would be draining fluids from its host to sustain itself instead of just hitching a ride without significantly impacting the host (and I don't think SLOG is harming Palin in any significant fashion, if at all). The remora in the photo also appears to be somewhat confused, attaching upside-down as it did.

John Horstman on January 18, 2011 at 2:47 PM

Am I the only one who doesn't think that her speech writer knew the meaning of "blood libel?" I think they knew "blood" and they knew "libel" but not the two together.

Lilliable on January 18, 2011 at 3:02 PM

Remora, remora. That spanking seared it into my memory. Thank you.

gloomy gus on January 18, 2011 at 3:15 PM

@30: Nah, remoras have a sucker on the top of their head, so they'll be upside down if they latch on to the top of a shark, and right side up if they latch on to the bottom. They don't really care which way they're oriented, though; up and down aren't as crucial underwater.

venomlash on January 18, 2011 at 5:48 PM

For all of the right wingnuts out there who say claim no responsibility for the tragedy that took place in Arizona...

choctalian on January 18, 2011 at 6:09 PM

But it *does* mean being falsely accused of having blood on your hands. It also means that your opponents are, effectively, Hitler. However the American right wing seems to accuse their opponents of being Hitler all the time. So I'm not sure why this particular 'you are Hitler' has gotten a different reaction to the others.
