My Sarah Palin Article

Not to come off so explicit in the first few keystrokes but can a motherfucker get one day without some right-wing doofus writing an obligatory Palin article? Scratch that, can a motherfucker get one month? It’s sadly getting to the point where the editorials about Palin are becoming jokes unto themselves. A couple of months back Dana Milbank wrote an editorial about how he wasn’t writing an article about Sarah Palin and all that entailed. I dunno Dana, maybe I think you’re missing the irony boat here when you essentially correct a supposed wrong with an entire article chronicling your lack of writing about Palin for a month? Friend of The Town of Haterville® Kathleen Parker last week writes (paraphrasing): “Is this the end of the Palin media behemoth? Gee, Ms. Parker I don’t know either. Perhaps if you’d stop shining a light in to that dark, winking abscess of darkness for one fucking minute, maybe we would find out?

It’s about on par with Ms. Parker's “Voters need to take names of people who had a hand in the debt ceiling debacle” editorial. Wherein, she “named” pretty much NO ONE of import (or that could be voted out of office), oh and a couple of TEA Party leaders. Great job Ms. Parker, I’ll make sure to cast a vote for the other guy once I figure out those names you named!

Am I so wrong for expecting editorials to provide some sort of information, instead of the pushing one pile of bullshit and nonsense from one side of the page to the other and yelling “Taa-Daa!”?

Is there some sort of quarterly quota that each right-wing writer must adhere to that includes mentioning Palin? It’s bad enough that she’s riding around the country, Clampett-esque, in a ego-fueled arrogance wagon, mocking the media to it’s face and keeping Palinmania alive. Can we just toss her in the politico dust bin where Newt Gingrich, Howard Dean, Ron Paul and other has-beens reside? The only attention is of the sleepily yawing “Oh you again?” variety of unimportance afforded these people when they appear on television or in the paper?

I sincerely think she’s leaning perilously over the lip of that dust bin, but right-wingers keep tugging her back for one more go at the ol’ girl.

I do understand the allure that she still must have. Before our country started nose-diving, she was a breath of fresh air and stiff boners for the right wing males. But times are different now, and cartoon characters need to stay the fuck away from the big kids table that is presidential politics. And not even that it’s necessarily because of a mature tone, it’s that Palin has no ideas. It’s why I’m not necessarily looking forward to Rick Perry’s run. He knows that his brand of yee-haw, bible thumping, boots wearing, brush clearing cowboy bullshit works because we let that shit slide for eight years previously. We as a society cannot afford this nonsense right now. Come back when we’re on steadier economic footing.

Maybe I shouldn’t expect too much of those that have the license to fill our daily newspapers with nonsense. After watching mostly everyone avoid writing about the debt ceiling debacle, then come right out and basically pull the thesis “everyone caused it”, I guess I should be relieved that we’re returning to some normalcy writing about a perennial political nonstarter and her black hole pull on our media in general. Perhaps the Palin article is to shore up some much needed finances so that right-wingers can weather more of this recession. Seeing that it isn’t going to end, and probably worsen with the current climate in D.C.

This bologna of a non-Palin centric, sharp focus Palin article is fast getting old, and shows a deficit of writing and character from these ideologues who could actually write something informative, or at the very least a decent take on the news at hand. It’s sad to see on the top of a newspaper page “Opinion” and find nothing of the sort in the editorials below. What are you afraid of right-wingers? That Sarah Palin won't bless you with some sort of access?

I'm still confused why newspapers won't just add community writers to their opinion section and have far less of these syndicated press boobs. Wouldn't it be far nicer to have more editorials about the happenings of your tiny hamlet and things that matter on a more local level than a paint by the numbers ideologically redundant rehash? Certainly in these times of newspapers going the way of the dodo, wouldn't it be at least more cost effective?
