“Ultimate Makeover” for Sarah Palin on Friday?
April 13, 2011
Sarah’s next speech will be at a Women of Joy gathering in Oklahoma City on Friday. Women of Joy is an evangelical organization that’s part of Phil Waldrep Ministries. In its mission statement, the Phil Waldrep Evangelistic Association says it seeks “to spread the gospel to all of the world.”
Sarah spoke to a Women of Joy conference in Louisville in spring of 2010, urging her audience not to “let anyone try to convince you that God should be separated from the State.” Transcript of her speech available here.
It seems to me that Sarah has been badly wounded by her precipitous drop in popularity and relevance. Seeking solace, and trying to rebuild her self-confidence, which has always been far more fragile than her public appearances would suggest, she’s returning to her evangelical–Christian Dominionist roots.
The degree to which she’s wedded to Dominionist beliefs is something into which I delve deepy in The Rogue.
What better place for Sarah to lick her recent wounds than at a “Women of Joy” gathering in Oklahoma City? There’s no indication that Phil Waldrep will be there himself–he’s busy building his own evangelical radio network–but no doubt someone will be there, like Thomas Muthee was in Wasilla, to pray that Sarah remains impervious to infiltration by devils.
And if she’s really lucky, she might get nominated–if not by the GOP for president–at least by the Women of Joy for the “Girls Night Out Ultimate Makeover,” offered by Phil Waldrep’s organization.

“Women of Joy” is awfully close to “fille de joie.” Who names these things?
Keep up your EXCELLENT work! I kook forward to reading your blog every day!!
Palin will ask the prayer warriors to protect her going into 2012. She’ll say she needs them as a shield against all the evil directed at her.
A couple of your links don’t work for me: “Sarah’s next speech” and “speech available here.”
I always thought she would make a great Tammy Faye II and belongs on the televangelical stations begging for dollars.
Thanks Joe… oh and I nominated Sarah for the mental makeover as well, you see beauty is really from within. Although in Sarah’s case the ugly just heaves thru every pore.
I’m very glad to see that the Dominionist “stuff” will be covered in your book. Leah Burton’s been working on that angle for a long time, too (see God’s Own Party? blog).
But wow, how long is that book of yours?? Can’t wait.
Her idea is to pull in that cash money Joe. Those evangelical groups are big donor pools. Everyone knows that regardless if you agree with their religious theme or not.
Thanks for pointing that out. Still trying to get the hang of this. I think links should work now.

This is funny, from last year’s WOJ in Louisville, KY:

Those teen-aged girls weren’t fooled. : )
In light of Scharlott’s evidence that Palin staged a hoax, as well as the ongoing absence of any proof that Palin is actually Trig’s mother, one wonders if the media will now, finally, seek to determine the truth–especially because Palin is considered a candidate for president.

Thank you for the informative post. Just a little while ago, nominated inane, insipid, impervious to infiltration (by devils) Sarah for the “Girls’ Night Out Ultimate Makeover.” Clicked on your link above and was taken directly to the Women of Joy website nomination form page. What fun! I’m still chuckling. Patting myself on the back for creativity points as to how I filled out the form.
I would so much rather participate in Women of Fun!
I’ve been saying for a while now that $arah is a nothing but a tele-evangelist. This is her true career path: preaching on the TV, soliciting donations, all in the name of God and Jesus. Let’s hope she stays there.
Perhaps they took their name from “The Joy of Sex”? Oh wait – Republican women don’t “have” sex – or enjoy it.
She would only do something like that if she got a 75% cut of all the money taken in from the demented lambs.
She may be a tele-evangelist – since obviously she isn’t a Christian and in fact, she has a witch doctor of her very own.
Joe, Can I disagree please?
I don’t believe she has been badly wounded by her drop in popularity (drop = tanking) … I have believed that she entered a depressive phase shortly after the Gabby Giffords shooting when she chose to not follow Roger Ailes advice and instead inserted herself into the entire sad tragic episode and attempted to take over the dialogue.
Since that time, she has been relatively quiet (or she’s been in a straight jacket). She has clear and defined manic depressive episodes. They are visible and obvious.
Being a sociopath, she clearly didn’t care about Giffords being shot … she only cared about how she could become a part of the discussion and turn it as positive for herself. Having no filter and being unable to follow orders to SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP – she made an ass of herself on National TV after that incident.
She has clear highs and lows … she doesn’t connect with people and she appears to have no conscience.
She is paranoid about literally everything – the woman mental illness is deeply rooted – it is unfortunate her family has had to put up with her personality disintegration publicly over the last couple of years.
BANDITBASHEERT – WELL SAID! THE WOMAN IS SUFFERING FROM MENTAL ILLNESS.
UNFORTUNATE FOR THE NATION, SENATOR MCCAIN SHOWED HIS RECKLESS
SIDE OF HIS CHARACTER AND SELECTED HER AS HIS VICE PRESIDENTIAL RUNNING MATE.
I HOPE HISTORY WILL NOT BE KIND TO JOHN MCCAIN, AND SARAH WILL BE HIS LEGACY.
