Who says Sarah doesn’t learn from her mistakes?
August 15, 2011
Only a year ago, Sarah Palin touched the hearts and minds of all Californians when she said, during a speech at Cal State Stanislaus (yes, there really is a college by that name):
“This is Reagan country. And perhaps it was destiny that the man who went to California’s Eureka College would become so woven within and interlinked to the Gold State.”
Today, however, her bus driver dropped off her and Todd and Piper and Piper’s cousin, McKinley, at Eureka College in Eureka, Illinois, where Reagan actually attended college.
As you can see from the above photo, Sarah and the kids looked suitably impressed by Reagan memorabilia, even though it wasn’t from what she calls the “Gold State.”
Earlier, she dragged Piper and McKinley and Todd to Reagan’s childhood home in Dixon, Illinois.
There, she uttered yet more words that will ring out as long as there are grammarians left in this great land of ours to try to separate the ingredients of word salad:
“I think the home was absolutely beautiful and so appreciative, speaking on behalf of I think a lot of Americans, that this town has put such effort into the restoration.”
Speaking of restorations, I may be back in Wasilla this fall to do interviews from the porch of the Lake Lucille house in which I lived last summer.
September 20–publication date for THE ROGUE–is almost upon us.
I’ve been told that Todd’s cheap fence blew down in the first strong winds of last fall.
But I certainly wouldn’t want an unscrupulous cameraman from one of the networks to surreptitiously film the Palin property during an upcoming interview, notwithstanding that Sarah’s TLC cameras sneakily filmed me minding my own business (i.e. reading a book) on my own porch last summer, and she used the footage on her show
After all, two wrongs don’t make a right.
See you in September, Sarah.
I’m still waiting for that blueberry pie you promised me on Facebook last summer.

I’m a top-notch grammarian, but–speaking on behalf of myself, you understand–it would take Alan Turing to crack her linguistic code.
At least it looks like she FINALLY showered.
Joe I’m not so sure you ought to eat any pie Sarah brings over. Just saying
I think you are on to something there Joe. Sarah does learn from her mistakes. So far on this trip, Sarah is not wearing the padded bra. She is not wearing a cross or Star of David so big you can see it from outer space. I looked at the some of the photos from the Iowa State fair and it is obvious that she really tried to keep that tongue in her mouth. Her lips are pressed together tight whenever she is not speaking.
I also found it interesting that she said she would not criticize Rick Perry for running when he said he was not going to run, or something to that effect. Does this mean that Rick Perry went rogue and ran on his own without consulting the Queen? She’s not going to like that. I am sure she did not like Nicki Haley praising Rick Perry without any mention of Herself. In Sarah’s mind, Nicki Haley would not be Governor were it not for her endorsement during the primary. After all, with Rick Perry wisely leaving Iowa to announce for the nomination, Sarah was unable to steal all his thunder as she did with Mitt Romney and to a lesser extent with Michele Bachmann.
And I noticed that reporters did not follow the Queen this time after she left the State Fair (and by going to the fair, it is the Queen who went to where the reporters were known to be). This is excellent news for travelers on Interstate 80 and other nearby highways.
I hope you have something in the book as to why you were able to rent next door to the Queen. Why wouldn’t the Queen just buy the house(s) next door to her. I certainly would have if I were in her shoes, but then again, I am relatively sane and rational – I don’t think the Queen rolls that way.
They are going to be SO excited to hear you are coming back to their dead lake, Joe. Be interesting to see what they do – ie – build another fence (?)…or, be more interested in being able to see who interviews you. You be careful – they’ll probably try to bamboozlel the varied interviews in some manner. Remember, they are going to be out to make sure your book is NOT read.
I can hardly wait to receive and read your book. $100 says it will be a best seller!!!
You know what they say: “Good grammar has went.”
That was my first thought. My second thought was throwing it in her face. Then I thought I would share my favorite post about that era:

I laugh for half an hour and the first comment always makes tears stream down my face.
I pity the bull that charges after your cape, Matador!
hey joe – I suspect that palin is waiting until the day that your book comes out to announce that she’s not running – all in an effort to divert media attention away from your book. she’ll have some ghostwritten facebook post put together for her that blames attacks on her family as the reason she can’t run. and of course, the fact that your book (the hit piece, according to tawd) comes out on the same day makes her gripe seem legit (even though the book is not an attack on her family, but those are the kind of details that get lost in the media wars).
yep I am not nostradamus, but I suspect that one of the reasons she is “waiting” to make her announcement is to be able to throw some water on your fire, drown out any media about your book with her big announcement. don’t let her win joe. plan for it, and consider some alternatives.
Well, it is Sunday. You know those patriotic Americans in the heartland shower once a week whether they need it or not.
Looking forward to seeing you back in Alaska. I am sure that many of us will have homemake Alaskan items to offer you because as you most likely found out during your stay, most Alaskans are polite and gracious. Counting the days until the book comes out.
She’s so over. No press following her. She must say something really far out there on facebook to get the attention back on her. Watch for it because after her hissy fit and some meds she’s gonna blast somebody. I’m picking Perry. We will see.
I think emrysa may be onto something with her theory. You should fake Palin out by having the book actually come out several days early, so she can’t respond well or get ahead of it. Is that possible in the book publishing world? To fake everyone out with the release date? But I suspect that the bombshell(s) in your book are such that no fake-outs will be necessary.
Coming to a milk carton near you: Have you seen this boy? He has been missing since 2010. He is mentally disabled and requires eye glasses and hearing aids. He goes by the name Trig. If you see him please contact Alaskan state authorities because his parents have not provided proper supervision for his needs.
chuckle
HILARIOUS!! Love how the one CBN guy showed how to manipulate the crowd.
DON’T EAT ANY FOOD FROM THE QUITTER !!!!!!!!!
either that or get it tested first…
(just a friendly Alaskan FYI)
No one “attacks” her family unless Todd gets caught wearing Sarah’s pink Joe Arpaio undies, or Bristol does something else stupid, or Willow causes a 4-car pileup out at the racetrack, or they lose Trig.
But we DO have a lot of questions to ask the Palin Mafia, because the media and the cops up there do such a bang-up job of covering for them…
Funny…you were thinking the same thing I was about that little tyke.
I think it’s more that she wants to see what’s in The Rogue before she knows whether to dare show her head again. The suspense must be killin’ her at what truths and lies Joe McG was able to ferret out of those who have dealt with her. It may just be too much to allow her to continue the charade and for that, I pray. She’s already sending small signals that her excuse is pretty firmly in place; she’s suggesting that her reluctance to commit stems from her fears of further attacks on her family. We all saw that coming but the words curdled in my ears nevertheless. A fraud coming in, a fraud going out. At least she’s consistent.
No Alaskan need offer me anything. Alaska and Alaskans have already so enriched my life.
Polite and gracious doesn’t even begin to describe it. THE ROGUE recounts many of my
wonderful experiences with real Alaskans last summer. GOING TO EXTREMES recounts how
great it was to be there in the mid-1970’s.

Not to give Ms. SP any ideas, but couldn’t the One Nation RV just be backed down the fence line and parked? Seems like the bus would provide a sufficient height barrier to avoid any ‘peepage.’ Plus, I don’t think Alaska has had the pleasure of being a part of the One Nation tour as yet, so the RV could serve multiple purposes. Not only that, it could double as the ‘school house’ for homeschooling the kids. Geography and Civics are already handled by the RV’s graphics. How great of Ms. SP for being a ‘job creator’ in choosing Country Coach and putting Oregonians back to work!
“Palin’s selection of Country Coach is emblematic of America’s indomitable spirit and ability to overcome even the toughest challenges. Junction City, Oregon-based Country Coach filed for Chapter 11 protection in February 2009. The US bankruptcy court subsequently ordered a Chapter 7 liquidation of the company’s assets which were sold at auction on February 4th and 5th, 2010.” Palin’s selection of Country Coach is emblematic of America’s indomitable spirit and ability to overcome even the toughest challenges.

I don’t think people here realize that palin has no power in the republican party.
no one consults her before they do anything and no one asks for her endorsement for anything.
she has some loons who still follow her but no organization to run anything.
no high powered team.
no prospects of ever being endorsed for the nomination.
etc. etc.
she is a joke to anyone that counts and even her photo ops are juvenile.
if you think struggling out of work americans are impressed that palin goes to ronnies (the criminal) old house you are lost in the same time warp as she is.
in fact she has absolutely no value left to the party now that the racially motivated tea bags have bachmann and perry to choose from.
These stats showed up on Immoral Minority from poster “Jennifer” and I thought they were so interesting I wanted to share. These are soft results from a demographics poll taken at the Palin Lovefest website “Conservatives 4 Palin” or C4P:
did you see the results of the C4P survey they did a few weeks ago? They surveyed their members/visitors and seem to be surprised by the demographics: http://conservatives4palin.com/2011/07/what-we-learned-about-c4p-readers-from-the-survey.html. The audience skews middle-aged and older:
“But our survey showed that 74% of our readers are older than age 47 and 42% of you are between the ages of 47-60, by far the most popular age bracket. Just over 7% of our surveyed audience is younger than age 33 and in fact, 32% of our audience is older than 61.”
And male:
“For whatever reason, vastly more men (61% compared to 39%) are hardcore readers of C4P than women.”
They seem surprised by these results.

This also explains to me why they are so rabid, aggressive and violent!
Here’s that blueberry pie post, along with the trash-talk about peering into Pipers bedroom
https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=392687973434
And a screen grab – it’s funny how certain things Palin seem to just “disappear” from the web…
http://i.imgur.com/0baPp.jpg
Must have been Orly Taitz leaving that message…
well..these demos dont surprise me.
fox news who sponsers this crap has the oldest demos on tv.
and a bunch of old men caught up in the palin created (sexual) fantasy of a woman who hunts and fishes and shoots guns and is probably more physically attractive the n their wives doesnt surprise me either.
I suspect you are right. She is laying the groundwork for that excuse “Family comes first” BS. And anyway does the Leg in AK want a bigger scandal than Troopergate?
Why has she gotten off almost all the Ethics charges?
Why is she using State IT to DoS blogs? (last month)
Why is she got the Anchorage PD doing her bidding? (Shay Tripp)
Why do her kids get off scott free while others do not? (Willow vandalizing the Morlock house, Track vandalizing buses)
Why is BrisDull a “Virgin” who has had “X” many kids yet Mercede who has no kids is branded “a whore and trash” by Paylin supporters? And Paylin herself according to the latest NE.
( Did they not SEE BRISSY almost nekkid getting dry humped by Mark Ballas?)
And there is SO much more…
The Thomas case she wants the State to pay…all these things…The AK is so corrupt if she runs she will bring the SPOTLIGHT on it!
If she doesn’t run, the c4p at the urinenation will commit suicide like the Jim Jones people! Or they will turn on her.
Oh I forgot the bigBoyz in GOP~ I’m sure they LOVED her little stunt to take the steam out of Mittens running a couple of mos of go,
and loved her crashing AGAIN of another GOP institution this weekend…I’m sure that went over like a lead balloon! Or a foot long corndog, whatnot!
I am waiting for the fallout… 4,3, 2,1…. BANG!
She only wears her gigantic Star of David when she wants to pander to Jews.
It would have been absurd for her to wear it to an event that probably didn’t have a Jew within 200-300 miles of the State Fair grounds.
And yes, the tongue did slither in & out of its cave & she even did it to a woman who was speaking to her. Plus she also overdue for a pedicure cause it was plain to see her the skin was a bit rough around the egdes and that doesn’t include her cuticles.
She screwed up the whole Perry/Mitt/Obama thing.
For some very odd reason, she totally missed an opportunity to be a gushing new grandmother and didn’t even have the decency to say her new granddaughter name. What kind of grandmother would do that?
If it were either Senators Snow, Collins, Boxer, Hutchinson, Murkowski, and the 12 other female senators and our female governors on such a TV internew would have taken more then 10 seconds to speak about a new grandbaby.
And as our luck would have it, and the way she was positioned during the Hannity *cough* interview, the background behind her was a vendor stand sign that read, “Nutty Bar” which was oh so apt for her.
2 problems…
1. The Quitter built her house two inches off the legal setback limits from a property line. And 2, that RV is huge and would never fit between Sowahs house and the now blown down fence.
Perhaps the motorhome company could go beyond the mention of the Paylins use and purchase of thier fine product and relate to Sowah the hazards of traveling in one while the kids are not properly secured.
Basically one of Sowahs kids could fly thru a windshield or get propelled on to the motorhome wall..
Right. Read “The Help.”
Joe – May I suggest you load up on duct tape at Home Depot? You’ll want to have a security blind counter-measure at the ready when Todd starts drilling peepholes faster than a woodpecker. (I’m getting carried away with the hysterical visuals of that game.) ‘Also, too’, beware of mic booms disguised as swooping grebes.
We’re grinning ear to ear at the news of your plans! My husband says, “Devilishly good, old chap.”
I Love you Joe!! So, does that mean a book signing in Anchorage or Wasilla. Wishin and a hopin.
I think you should start throwing out snippets of facts from your book on the order of Gawker, Joe. You know one day “what personal hygiene challenged wannabe, has-been political star is completely bald under her ratty wigs?”
@ginny 11 has a great idea, but instead maybe the book should come out a week late. Not that I want to wait to read it, but it would be AWESOME to see her squirm an extra week wondering what to do and when it would be released… 😉
I thought the dark cloud that fell over my fair city on Saturday was just a summer storm, imagine my surprise when I flu.d out the former half term governor was in town. I hope somebody told Scarah that Reagan was probably a democrat when he attended college here in Eureka IL. It will take days for all the crazy vibes to be cleaned out of.town!
Spokane is a bellwether kind of place, so this might come as a pleasant surprise. Free admission and few takers. 🙂 From the local newspaper:

Next door in Idaho might still tell a different story. I’d be curious.
