Sarahmania at Iowa State Fair
August 12, 2011
Reuters reports:
Republican Sarah Palin rolled into Iowa’s state fair Friday, stealing the spotlight from the party’s presidential contenders and sparking a new round of speculation about her plans for 2012.
Palin’s visit to the cattle barn at the fair attracted a wild crush of photographers, reporters, fans and onlookers who swarmed the former Alaska governor, alarming the cows and bringing activity in the barn to a halt.
All she has to do is show up and the pretenders are thrown back into the shadows.
Love her or loathe her, you can’t write her out of the script.

You have to admit, though, it’s like watching a train wreck.
Alarming the cows, indeed. Even the cows are perceptive enough to be scared of her.
She alarms more than cows.
I’ll stick with loathing her. Everything about her from the ridiculous poorly formed sentences to her vacuous sound bites to her presentation ( look at that tacky flag bracelet) make me want to vomit. What’s with all the flag stuff. She’s so patriotic yeah right. That’s why she has so many AIP connections and constantly attacks our government and president.
She is so full of crap. See the clip at Immoral Minority. Please Joe. May your book with others make her go away!
It is like Chuck Todd said. She went where she knew there would be 700 reporters.
She knew there would be a ton of reporters that’s why she went there get her media attention fix. Did anyone see her eating fried butter on a stick?
Good job, Scarah. Rile up the livestock. And the cattle, too.
Lisabeth: totally agreed on the tacky flag bracelet. That’s a hot mess!
And that’s not stupid.

I’m really hoping the September Surprises (The Rogue, other books and exposes) will finish this inane woman politically, forever. That a person of such low intellect, such mangled speech patterns, of such narrow-minded viewpoints could rise to political prominence shows just how dumbed-down this country has become. I mean, we have tv shows titled “I didnt know I was pregnant,” “Cake boss”, “Toddlers and Tiaras”,and Fox “news.” Christ Matthews is hailing her as a “kingmaker” for Rick Perry, who is just Sarah Palin with a penis. My god, if either of these extreme rightwing nuts gets elected, then maybe the USA deserves what it gets. But not the rest of us, we don’t deserve it. I’m counting on the smart people in this country to outnumber the dumb.
You said it, Jolene!!!
Joe, would you post a link to your blog over at GoodReads.com?

Thanks!
Here’s the tease in all her glory…

Have a barf bag ready
not stupid if you need your regular fix of attention. in terms of anything else, what is the wisdom? is she promoting substantial conversation about the declared candidates? is she providing answers to any of the multiple problems plaguing our country and the world? is she doing anything other than promoting herself and promoting policies dictated to her by someone else? is she smart or desperate? she isn’t dictated her terms…….she isn’t making the media come to her in alaska or arizona or anywhere else. she knows they may not show. she is merely going where her “drug” is………..no different than a heroin addict going where he can score. is that smart?
no, “mitt romney was right. corps are people”. “michelle bachman answered from her heart. she has respect for her husband”. “yes, someone should be asking if the s& p downgrade is the fault of the president. yes it is his fault, from the top down.”
so 1. gop talking point in check. 2. michelle and i aren’t in a cat fight. check 3. something else to blame on the president. check.
maybe you are correct and she isn’t stupid to go where she can find her addiction of choice fed. the media is stupid for following her and really, am i the only one here who is starting to feel just as stupid?
peace
She’s a businesswoman and celebrity is her business.
Without fresh injections of media overkill her brand loses luster.
So, “not stupid” from her point of view, which is, of course, only about herself.

and if hilary clinton or barack obama or michelle obama or joe biden or in the other direction, kim kardashian or charlie sheen or even a recognized and award winning author such as you joe mcginniss would show up at a local fair in middle america would the cameras be following palin?
The woman is a CRACKHEAD looking for her next FIX! The media is her FIX! She can’t go cold turkey because it will probably kill her! Is FOX news her METHADONE??
i can only hope that your book “the rogue” brings her celebrity to a screeching and violent halt. not a whimpering and soft disappearance into the wilderness, i want her to be exposed for all she is and for all she isn’t including being the COWARD she is. does it not just irritate the hell out of you that she is “celebrated”?
i want her to have the same life as o.j. simpson. i want her to be inconsequential. i want her to walk into restaurants and be asked to leave. i want her drug taken from her. i want to be shown we are our own better angels and are not a society ruled by the lowest common denominator.
peace
I will never get the attraction. Granny quitter and Rick perry are sleazy carnival barkers to me. Why are people so gullable?
It’s truly sickening the way the media still fawns all over this silly grifter. Wolf Blitzer today was gushing about how polite and open she’d been to reporters at the Iowa fair, actually answering all their questions like that was some kind of great accomplishment. I, too, pray that The Rogue and other exposes, including the new film, “Sarah Palin–you betcha” put a screeching halt to the Grifter’s celebrity. I’m really looking forward to reading Joe’s book!
Notice the t-shirt all about love. Can’t read the front but there’s a stick figure with the big red heart, and the writing on the back is about love being something you become, not something you look for. Such profundity, Sarah! Especially from someone who typically demonstrates love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, and the other Christian “fruits of the spirit” (Gal. 5) by lying, inciting hatred and putting political opponents in crosshairs.
Since your wardrobe choice was most certainly strategic, did you pick this shirt out to help further craft your down-home image? Or, to be charitable, it is possible you’ve realized how hard you’ve become and your t-shirt shows something you’re aspiring to? Or might this be a statement about how you’ve just had to give up expecting any love from all the mean critics?
she has man-hands.
She does have man hands and features, I think she is a transvestite.
Eating disorder much? That’s why she hardly has any hair left on her empty head. And what she does have looks like straw.
I hope she hasn’t started frightening the horses.
FRAU BLÜCHER!!
“neeiigghhh hhee heeh he heeeeeee!”
I think she has one of those BigBrother ‘secret alliances’ with Perry and they plan to ‘backdoor’ Romney. She knows lil Ricky will always have a little tag team job here and there for her if she endorses him which will keep her name in play to continue her SarahPac grifting. She doesn’t want VP and she knows she couldn’t get or keep the top ticket but the fund-raising tease can go on forever without her doing much more than her specialty, fire breathing. I just hope she endorses him before Joe’s books and the Bloomberg video come out in Sept. Hopefully he will end up forever tainted by her presence and support.
That picture says it all – an old cow, past her prime, patting but coveting what the young heifer has.
Hard to believe that karma has anything ghastly enough planned for her….
her bus has been renamed to…
SNAKE OIL EXPRESS…
I guess there was no Reptile Barn for her to peddle her Snake Oil…
So she went to the Bullshit Barn instead.
No way would this narcissist hook up with Romney. She is her own best friend.
She’s a “con” woman.
The Big Sting comes to mind.
The little calf’s speech bubble says:
“Get this crazy lady’s hand OFF OF ME!!! PLEASE!!!”
Just look at the poor thing’s eye ball.
where’s the big boobage she was sporting last year at the belmont?
I KNEW she would pull a stunt like this!! $he just can’t help herself!! $he has to feel like the most important & smartest person around.
$he is a back-stabbing snake.
I wish I were a fly on the wall and could hear what the other GOPer’s were saying about her!! THAT would be worth having to hear that whiny voice.
I really think she is going to try and run. $he honestly believes (in HER mind) that she can pull off a run for POTUS and avoid all the hard work & most especially, the Debates.
Should make for a very interesting campaign season!! Which Dominionist will get the nod to run??
We all know, also too, that she would be the Headliner on the Ticket, she pretty much tried that mid campaign with ole Johnny boy!!
I bet she gets off on this crap. Sexually.
$arah (Mongo) just might need a “Candygram”! When she entered the fairgrounds, I wonder if she was extended a “laurel and hearty handshake”. As for speculation from the press corps if she intends to run, maybe she replied “Gentlemen, rest your sphincters”!
Animal torture! That poor thing probably had to hear her VOICE! Can you imagine what that would do to delicate ears?
Where’s PETA when you need them?
The heifer’s hair is cleaner than Palin’s hair. Todd dresses more professional than Sarah.
V V,
Thanks for the link. I went there and encouraged all of Saint Sarah’s fans to give $$ to SarahPac.

In the belly of the plane.
