Andrew Sullivan: Dissecting the Palin Phenomenon

[capoman1]

Palin is absent this election!

[nextacy123]

He's pretty much right on!

there's an amazing case for a debate that was held between Kennedy and Nixon.

the debate was televised, as well as broadcast on the radio...

so here was, what's described as, a 'bronzed god' on the tv... to which a poll suggested that Kennedy was the clear winner of the debate...

the radio listeners skewed to the other side of the spectrum, seeing Nixon as the winner...

mad PR!!!

Palin: Liar. Quitter. Hypocrite. Incompetent. Fraud.

[Rime247]

This guy sounds just as confused as sarah palin..

[Bigwave2003]

Who can beat Sarah Palin? Sarah Palin. Every time she opens her mouth in an unscripted situation she reveals a cartoonish nature, complete incompetence and ugly bitterness.

Maybe Palin is a gay man's idea of a beautiful woman, but straight guys knows this kind of ego-driven, self-indulgent, celebrity-seeking woman is a headache and pain to be around.

@bapyou LOL!

I don't think we want a President who knows what they're doing, because--since they DON'T know what they're doing--that way America isn't to blame for anything!... well, we are; but AS A NATION (not AS UNDERLINGS OF THE EVIL POWER-MONGERING EXECUTIVES).

Q. Sarah, what are your thoughts on the conflict in Libya?

SARAH: Dopity-dopey dopey dope, dopity-dopey-dope. Dopity dopey dopey dope, dopity dopey dope.

Q. And Sarah, what then is your take on the graduated income tax?

SARAH: Dopity-dopey dopey dope, dopity-dopey-dope. Dopity dopey dopey dope, dopity dopey dope.

Q. Finally, Sarah, would you have voted Ashley off the island?

SARAH: Oh definitely. I though she was a bitch the first time I laid eyes on her. I was like "Where's my moose gun?"

Reagan was an intellectual? A "serious person who thought about issues for a long time quite deeply?" Reagan???

[CrateofStolenDirt]

@darkmiles22 Reagan was, of course,not only a spaced out buffoon but a despicable war criminal. Sullivan is an unmitigated idiot and is not to be taken at all seriously.

[snorp73]

Obama's intellectualism has got us 5 trillion dollars in debt in 2.5 years. It's gotten us a third conflict now with Libya. We have a president beholden to Goldman Sachs and union bosses. He lied about the stimulus and unemployment. He lied about keeping our health insurance if we like it. Then we saw him give waivers to supporters in Nancy Pelosi's district as well as passes to union bosses and their accompanying Cadillac Plans.  We say no more.

[snorp73]

Andrew, you are so off the deep end. I don't particularly mind since Palin continues to stand strong through your attacks. But we in this country have a chance to form a grassroots effort to make sure we have a candidate and a president without being beholden to special interests like big oil, big corporations, or lobbyists. Palin has a history of reaching across to Democrats to take down Republicans and as such earned an 88% approval rating as Governor.

[acinodras]

@snorp73 are you prepared to support your GOP candidate Mitt Romney?

[snorp73]

@acinodras Nope, I am supporting Newt Gingrich, the actual frontrunner despite what the politicos are trying to steer.

[acinodras]

@snorp73 Just curious, are you still donating to SarahPac?

[TheIndependentView]

I think its more of the T&A part than anything else, lol! Her base is the middle age white American and then some. If you google her look at the images that comes up. She has sex appeal that for sure. She's betting on her base to think with their HEADS???
