Don’t Let the Door Hit You in the Mooseburgers on the Way Out

Today Sarah Palin said goodbye to her gig as Gov GILF. The multi-tasking former media star slung salmon burgers with her right hand and greeted with well wishers with her left at the annual Alaska’s Governor’s picnic. Before she practiced for a great future as a fry cook, Palin gave a two minute farewell speech described as rambling:

We slowed the rate of government growth, and I vetoed hundreds of millions of dollars of government excess,” she said, veering into a rant about Hollywood and the right to bear arms.

You’re gonna see anti-hunting, anti-Second Amendment circuses from Hollywood. They use Alaska as a fundraising tool for their anti-Second Amendment causes… Hollywood needs to know: ‘We eat, therefore we hunt….

"What I promised, we accomplished.

"We can resist enslavement to big central government. Beware of accepting big government largesse… melting into Washington’s powerful arms….. I resisted the stimulus package."

Yes, but she has her own stimulus packaged–a lucrative book deal, htough wit phrases like those last two maybe she should look to Harlequin Romances as an option.

The Anchorage Daily News reported that the band played "She’s a Brick House."  Other highlights, along with Piper getting her hair sprayed purple:

The picnic drew all ages and walks of life. Homeless lined up for free hot dogs, young couples pushed baby strollers, elderly tourists ambled in to see what was going on. It was a cultural cross section of Anchorage, with whites, blacks, Natives, Pacific Islanders and Asians on the park strip.

Cassidy Fuavai, 21, said he was there because "everybody was coming." He didn’t have an opinion on Palin.

Phoebe Maurer and LB Abbey, also in their 20s, said they live near the Park Strip and wanted to see the picnic, have some free food. Maurer said Palin can’t be expected to be taken seriously as a presidential candidate after quitting her job as governor. Abbey said he thinks Palin is a "moron" who has been kind of embarrassing for Alaska.

Palin had some strong words about free speech and for the media, as seen in the video above, including:

In honor of the American soldier, ya quit makin’ things up!

Alaska blogger and Palin critic Shannyn Moore told Achorage Daily News that she came to the farewell picnic after receiving an anonymous e-mail saying she should wear a bullet-proof vest if she planned on attending. Moore said:

Today is a great day for Alaska and Alaskans

Hard to believe it has only been 11 months since I first heard of Palin. Seems MUCH longer.


maggiesboy | Sunday July 26, 2009 07:21 pm 2

Palin who?


BargainCountertenor | Sunday July 26, 2009 07:27 pm 3

Well, I guess she really did it.

Sara Palin to US media:

In honor of the American soldier, ya quit makin’ things up!

Palin should have voiced that directly to Judy Miller during late 2002 the early months of 2003. A lot of those “American Soldiers” that she says she is honoring wouldn’t might not be dead or injured or in harms way today.

Her voice and syntax are still fingernails on a chalk board to me.

AND THE KILLIN’ GOEZ ON AND ON AND…

Citizen Lisa Derrick and the Firepup Freedom Fighters:

We haven’t heard the last of the threats of violence or the calls to arms to protect the arms…Sarah Palin and the reserve army of violent lunatic vigilantes will NOT go away and there WILL be terrorist violence directed first against citizens and then against “Obama’s government”. The corporate fascists have spent the last 28 years and literally hundreds of millions organizing a terrorist assault force to create the circumateces for a takeover of the government by the security forces and the military…there is no way they won’t use these forces.

KEEP THE FAITH AND PASS THE AMMUNITION, THERE IS NO MIDDLE GROUND, THIS WAR BELONGS TO ALL OF US!!

If Sarah follows the same formula she used in college, she only needs to be elected governor in four more states before she completes a term.


bonkers | Sunday July 26, 2009 07:34 pm 7

I’ve been really diggin Shannyn Moore the moore I see her. She takes it right to the bullies. Loved the recent press conference she gave in front of Gov Quitter’s office after they threatened her, and Shannyn says bring it on, bitchez.

I’m thinking she needs more of a national “beat.” Anyone want to bring her to DeeCee? Imagining Mike Stark, Jane Hamsher, and Shannyn Moore set loose on Capitol Hill…wow.

You people should be ashamed of yourselves … Sarah is going to make Million$ on wingnut welfare for as long as she can before she resurfaces at the next Repug convention … to save us from ourselves ! /s

That was actually synthetic moose urine. The Palins were going out to bag some vittles after the quittin’ ceremony. Mooses ain’t so good at spottin’ colors but they smells REAL good.

Before she practiced for a great future as a fry cook, Palin gave a two minute farewell speech described as rambling:

As a former fry cook Lisa I am insulted given how Sarah Tweets just what fry cook could understand her when she rung up an order?
Fry Cooks past and Present everywhere demand an apology!
Or we will Swine Flu sneeze on your food since we have no healthcare!/s
Comparing US to Sarah! %$^&*!


Splicer | Sunday July 26, 2009 07:49 pm 16

I’m so sorry that she’s as stupid as she seems. It’s sad.

Who buys these books corporations with bulk orders? I have never talked to a wingnut who quoted from one of their books.
We need an investigation of just who buys these books. It seems to me an under the table way to give a GOPer cash.

Palin is basically a lottery winner. Like the majority of them, I predict she’ll be back to broke and a nobody within a couple years, probably about halfway through 2012.

The uberreichwingnut organizations buy them in bulk then give them out as “gifts” when the suckers supporters send in donations, just like PBS. Apparently Coulter’s last screed went nowhere, even with bulk sales, hence her announcement she’d write no more books. Prolly had to give back part of the advance. That’d be too funny.

Alaska blogger and Palin critic Shannyn Moore told Achorage Daily News that she came to the farewell picnic after receiving an anonymous e-mail saying she should wear a bullet-proof vest if she planned on attending. Moore said:

The right is reduced to using death threats to get coverage. Whats next Sarah painting a Nazi sign on your face and saying the Left did it?

In 1989, as fascination with Downey’s TV show began to wane, he was involved in an incident in a San Francisco International Airport restroom in which he claimed to have been attacked by neo-Nazis who painted a swastika on his face and attempted to shave his head. Some inconsistencies in Downey’s account (e.g., the swastika was painted in reverse, suggesting that Downey had drawn it himself in a mirror), and the failure of the police to find supportive evidence, led many to suspect that the incident was a hoax and a plea for attention.[9] A few months later, the show was canceled.[9]

The Steam was running out of the Reagan Revolution sure it took a few years to wind down, but when the Hate Clowns need death threats the tide has turned.
So I’m wondering who is next to say they got Death Threats.

You know, I’m wondering how delusional Sarah is. She’s talking about keepin’ it free, and there are a few hundred million out there like her.

Do you think she’s knows there are only about 300 million in the country?

True but details how much do bulk orders make up a WingNut book was it enough to put them on the New York times list? Shareholders in the corporations that buy these books might be interested to see just where their money went.
Plus a post on that would be a must read maybe even…a book?
I would buy it and be at the FDL book Salon for that. In fact I would beg Jane to give the author more time.

No. It’s as if her brain misfires and she starts to ramble. I’m serious – she doesn’t seem to know what she is saying or what she means. No wonder she went to 6 colleges. It’s kind of sad to watch if she were not so vicious.

The bulk purchases by PACs and other orgs is for the express purpose of putting the book on the NYT bestseller list. Individual sales would never elevate them to the list. Corporations may give a lot of money to the wingnut orgs but they don’t buy the books themselves. If they’re on the list the author gets the time on teevee to sell their shit. Using Coulter as an example again, every time she came out with one of her screeds she was on every teevee talk show on the circuit. After the new book appearances she only appeared now and then on the wingnutiest of the cable shows.

It must be possible to derive that somehow. The truth about Dianetics got out.

But would Regnery allow anyone to audit their records?

Which is doubly bad since her degree was in communications and she was a sports newscaster for a while.

She reminds me of what people in fanfiction circles call a “fanbrat”. Writes (or in this case, speaks) the most awful dreck, and then when they get constructive criticism go off on how they’re being “slammed” by “haters”.
