"In what respect, Charlie?"
The Quitter is causing quite a stir with reports that she’ll be releasing a $1 million-dollar hagiography in Iowa, just in time for the caucuses. And based on early reviews, it appears that at some point, God instructed her to drive the English from Fairbanks.
It might just be Sarah Palin’s last chance to re-establish herself as a viable presidency candidate ahead of the 2012 US elections in the wake of a disastrous PR run. A new film commissioned by Palin, the former governor of Alaska, will present her as a Joan of Arc-like figure beset at every turn by vicious leftwing enemies seeking to thwart her ambition of reviving the conservative legacy of Ronald Reagan.
[...]
Rife with religious imagery, the movie will chart Palin’s rise from Alaskan “soccer mom” to vice-presidential candidate. [...] RealClearPolitics reports that the film makes “unmistakable allusions to Palin as a Joan of Arc-like figure”.
I can see that!
Consider: not only was Joan illiterate, but Katie Couric and the rest of the lamestream media totally remind one of the English army, led by Henry VI, er, President Obama.
And I guess that whole being burned at the stake thing was when Charles Gibson asked The Quitter all those mean questions and everyone pointed and laughed.

One can only hope that she is burned at the stake…speaking figuratively of course.
I thought being a martyr involved having a pre-existing condition, like being dead.
The one Obvious problem with the comparison, that i can see, is that Joan ( with about 5 other commanders and the whole French army) Did beat the English in a spectacular way. St. Sarah has yet to actually beat anyone at anything, really.
Collecting Pre-Martyrdoom points. Practicing for the real thing.
Persecution complex for a GOPer seems to involve feelings of being persecuted because they project their desires to persecute others onto other people lack of empathy makes them assume that we all if given a chance will act exactly as they do.
Maybe the Mean Girl Stick.
Real Martyrs sacrifice for others they risk themselves not enrich themselves. GOP selective Dyslexia brought about in part by Cognitive Dissonance and the desire to rationalize greed?
Watching Mean Girls the film is probably the first thing anyone must do to understand Sarah. I think watching Evita
is my next step to understand her appeal to the 30%ers that or reading about Hitler’s appeal to the masses. Emotional event rock concert Glen Beck Sarah Palin hate rally appeal.
Never forget Sarah needs scapegoats.
I wonder if the film will include these pictures of Sarah’s rather odd pregnancy?
Sully posted this earlier:
From April 8 To April 13
The amazing pregnancy of Sarah Palin – in photographs, in a major push from those still on the Trig-trail. All the photos and video-stills have been around for a while, except one new one from behind, from March 27. Laura Novak, in conversation with Brad Scharlott, whose paper on press response to the story, jumpstarted the whole debate again, is beginning to lose it:

Going out on a limb, I’ll guess that this won’t be in the competition at Sundance.
I will never forget.
I think people should be extremely careful when working with her.
Do you know anyone who such a strong need to be loved/adored/crucified?

The new boyfriend if we can believe the gossip news is African American can the Fundies support that?

Thank God! NO!
Sorry for the double post; I tried to delete one but obviously I failed!
I think Sarah is over if this rumor proves out her racist base can’t handle this that means Michelle is the new queen of Hate unless Sarah can kill another of her daughters relationships.
Crap Mom’s can always do that even if politics and cash are not involved. poor Bristol
Rutroh.
Not true, in 1984, Palin won the Miss Wasilla beauty pageant.
Sarah compares herself to a French saint? Sarah’s interaction with real, living French persons would make a more interesting film, maybe a documentary of Sarah at Cannes pimping her film . . .
Kinda’ like “Talladega Nights”, but real.
Sarah the Quitter as Joan of Arc? Hmm. Perhaps she, too, will be betrayed and sold to her political enemies, with the usual consequences. Or perhaps Ms. Palin imagines that sainthood is acquired through lies and ambition, not the distinctly unRandian exercise of leadership, courage, self-abnegation and self-sacrifice on behalf of the common man.
Sarah I think is the scariest GOPer out there not because she can win but because after Hitler we can’t dismiss nut jobs no matter how crazy.
But she unlike Hitler is not a good speaker but after Bush is being a good speaker necessary? Pericles the great Speaker led Athens to war with Sparta, Hitler another good speaker led Germany into war.
We in our degenerate state our sadly led by morons of increasing stupidity.
They’re going to show this on the internet – - for a small fee of course, I would think.
I rolled on the floor reading that and hoped the couple the best:)
OOOw this is getting interesting.
Madame St. Abandonne Patron saint of those who surrender or quit
http://www.reelviews.net/movies/f/from_journals.html
From the Journals of Jean Seberg is another film I now must watch:) She was great in Joan of Arc
Palin comparing herself to a French, Catholic saint should play well with her born-again crowd.
Tell wanna be Scalia that Frackin Catholic Uncle Tom
Heh. Nice.
Christianists like Medieval Catholics.
Oh, the water-boarding thingy!
You know… I’ve been amazed the GOP has been able to allow Southern Baptists and Scalia’s Euro-Fascist Catholics in the same room at the GOP Convention without them coming to blows and killing each other.
Burned at the stake . . . metaphorically.
Well, I just hope she is toast . . . metaphorically. (sorry couldn’t help it)
Seriously, people at her book signings said she was not collecting email addresses or other client info. Weird for one ‘running for President’.
And the book burning, Crusading, etc.
color me totally unaware…that St.Joan
WAS A QUITTER
and left her army several times to WHORE FOR MONEY
and send her kids out to do the same
im shocked i tell you
Or modern Fundies the Nietzsche Priestly Morality rise to power by removing sex from the human equation has only one predictable ending death instead of orgasm. With death you don’t have to worry about kids and that means why worry about the future. These ideas explain a bunch about the GOP life now is the only struggle.
Life eternal is a ruse to get psychos to care about the future when we know they won’t care about the future for their kids.
TBogg calls her new movie Triumph of the Shrill! That sounds about right.

hahahhhhahaahhhaa
I still think she is out for the money and to build her following which can be counted on to support her every whim. But who knows???
gives her too much credit
i would call her and Todd
DUMB and DUMBER
there is no THERE there
The Catholics are just so happy to belong Scalia as Ordo Dei is used to flogging why the Southern baptists meet with Catholics well I can’t answer that. Its sad Catholic power is based on being on the knees before Southern Baptists.
No wonder we leave the church Catholic nuns facing Death in South America defending poor people from Right Wing Reagan/McCain death squads are the only reason I kind of stay.
let us not forget her speaking in tongues,as well as forked ones
Watertiger dubbed it Birth of an Abomination. But that may be too obscure; the fundie wingnut racists may not recognize that they’re being mocked.
Sarah Palin is a grifter and the media are her willing

Isn’t writing or even commenting (as I am here) on Sarah Palin akin to feeding a troll? I mean why encourage what should have been only 15 minutes of fame if America wasn’t mentally challenged as a whole ?
Because she is dangerous
Sarita! Sarita! Sarita!
“Don’t cry for me, wingnut blowhards…”
The Unbearable Lightness Of Quitting
She reminds me of Harry Truman a lot, and he was the last POTUS who wore glasses in public.
Politics is a joke. These people are clowns.
Uh, Joan of Arc? She was Noah’s wife, right?
That was then I expect Death Metal to be Sarah’s musical choice. Her Che will be fracking Grover ?
Yes, Sarah Palin is Joan of Arc!
Just like Sarah Palin, Joan of Arc pretended to be a leader, played the common people for her own gain, and spun the success of the “lamestream media” to reveal just how inadequate she was as proof that she was a bona fide martyr.
What can I say? Palin impresses me. Mostly, I’m impressed by her ability to stroke and stroke and stroke the wallets of her followers so long after everyone else realized that she’s a total moron.
Harsh words. Now she’ll never agree to be on Lisa Derrick’s FDL Movie Night.
she has good legs…………..the end
im amazed she navigated life without any major accidents
hahhhhahahahaha
and piss on McLame for bringing her to media attention
In fairness to McCain, I think he seriously regrets it.
As if she’d ever agree to make an appearance here without being paid a ridiculous amount of money for gracing us with her lame presence…
Come to think of it, after she quit on them, didn’t Joan of Arc also charge her supporters lots and lots of money to make appearances in their villages?
From King Kong: “It wasn’t the airplanes, it was beauty that killed the beast”. Shortly after being sworn in as governor, Wonkette brought her out to society as a GILF.
Burning Sarah Palin at the stake would violate the Clean Air Act because she is so toxic.
Maybe she doesn’t know St. Joan is a Catholic? LOL
Joan of Arc heard voices and may well have been schizophrenic. ‘Nuff said.
I piss on McCain just on general principles . . .
My bet is she won’t run because she is making too much money.
