And so commences the beginning of the end of Palin...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Some Republicans were not happy with the way that the Palin press conference was conducted, complaining that it seemed intended to bolster her status as the leader of the party and that she was hogging the media attention.

According to CNN:

Some Republican governors tell CNN they were not particularly happy with the way the Republican Governors Association press conference was executed Thursday, saying that they agreed to go as a show of GOP governors' unity -- but they ended up feeling like silent Palin supporters, since it was clearly a press conference called for her.

The GOP governors spoke to CNN on condition of anonymity.

One called it awkward: "I'm sure you could see it on some of our faces."

Another Republican governor eyeing a presidential run in 2012 told CNN the event was "odd" and "weird," and said it "unfortunately sent a message that she was the de facto leader of the party."

There has been palpable tension among some GOP governors gathered in Miami that Palin has been sucking up all the media oxygen.

In an interview with CNN, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour shrugged off that suggestion.

1. I can't stand to listen to her anymore. She just goes on and on.

Totally empty words, and really fucking boring.

[Sheets of Easter]

2. She is like a broken talking points machine. She says one thing,

then contradicts herself the next.

I am pleased to hear that a number of Repubs are just as sick of her as everyone else is.

[Cosmocat]

28. This is how truly stupid and unaware that she is ...

she actually believes all the crape that was spewed about her being a "star" when McCain named her.

She REALLY believes it, she has taken the hero worship that was generated by the lunatics in the the R propoganda machine and is unable to step back and realize that for John McCain not being a complete and total moron and plucking her out of Alaska and putting her on his ticket, she would be what she really is - a third rate, back water governor.

[targetpractice]

4. Like this?

She sounds just like this...

Thanks to Andrew Sullivan for finding this.

[Wetzelbill]

13. That is creepy

[TheEuclideanOne]

20. I am dyin here!!!

I clicked on this link and watched the video at the same time that Sarah Palin's press conference was going on. It has to be the funniest thing ever and everybody around me must think that I am crazy. I would love to see a video with sarah palin talking and the dog superimposed below as a "translator". Vice versa might even be funnier

[Turborama]

24. WOAH!

Along with it being obviously upset about something, that dogs eyes are evidence it's been given a blowback from a bong or pipe containing some powerful shit...

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

35. That's pretty close...My dog came running over when that clip began to play...

...to find out what the hell was going on - searching for the "dog". LOL

[bulloney]

27. You could condense that conference to less than 5 seconds and not lose the essence of what she said.

Her speaking skills are horrible. She engages in a hodge-podge of phrases and redundancies.

She talks a lot and says very little.

And this from someone who allegedly has a journalism degree?

And she's a frontrunner for president in 2012? The Democrats should be so lucky. By then, this country will be so sick of this woman and her rambling incoherent sentences that Obama will capture at least 80% of the vote in 2012.

[polly7]

3. The man beside her looks embarrassed.

[momdogz]

5. Just went to the bathroom

in the middle of this video, and she was still making the same nonsense. She makes Miss Teen USA from South Carolina look quite bright.

[Raschel]

9. And you know, at least Miss Teen acknowledged how she sounded.

Palin impresses herself every day.

[momdogz]

10. she showed a lot of integrity

to get back on a live television talk show to describe what happened...I don't think Sarah Palin will ever be able to do that kind of inventory.

[mcg]

12. Yes, Miss Teen did allright in a follow up interview, in her case ...

I think being nervous had a lot to do with her sounding so dumb on stage. She sounded a lot better than Palin in the interview.

[George II]

31. Keith Olbermann keeps showing that video when speaking of Palin - where she says:

..."such as, the Iraq" - at least that woman is halfway attractive, but just as stupid.

[hisownpetard]

6. S H U T T U P P !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Couldn't force myself to listen to the whole thing.

Just STFU, Sarah. You talk and talk and talk
and say, perhaps, nothing. Also!

[momdogz]

7. also, and the, Alaska, the states, also,

the american people, also, bipartisan and the, 2010, also 2012, bipartisan, the states, just, also.

[George II]

you forgot to mention "the obsessive partisanship" a dozen times, but...

...she STILL goes on about Ayers even after getting her ass spanked by the American electorate last week!!

[hisownpetard]

40. "...certainly as a Washington outsider and as somebody not um not uh one ta just uh

I guess kinda play even the the campaign media game that is played in um in um just repeating perhaps memorized lines in a in a interview. That's not me uh."

And that's a verbatim quote!
(I figured nothing I could make up could be better than that.)

[bugisbug]

8. "...I won't repeat right now what I'll be saying then."

:shrug:

rift in the time/space continuum?

[Cali_Democrat]

11. Oy Vey

She's a train wreck.

:crazy:

[shadowknows69]

14. Much as I think she's our best ally in a way

I can't take it anymore either. Please shut her up and shut her down GOP.

[cooolandrew]

15. That's quite right Sarah water is wet. Urm.

[txwhitedove]

16. She makes my ears bleed. Why is anyone giving her air time????

[WhoIsNumberNone]

17. She sounds a lot more subdued these days doesn't she?

And yet- Still just as irritating. She gives the same answer to every question.

[republicansarewhores]

18. Jesus Christ

Does she ever shut up? All she said was the same thing over and over again and in doing so said NOTHING!
She is an empty skirt.

RAW

[hangman86]

19. She's Great!!!! So Beautiful!!! And what a lovely voice!!!!

Did you see on the CNN ticker that Carrie Underwood won her third consecutive Female Vocalist Award?!

:bounce: :party: :toast:

As for Sarah Palin, she still sucks.

:puke: :dunce: :boring: :freak: :thumbsdown:

[jeff30997]

25. Lol!

Thanks for the laugh.:rofl:

[Triana]

21. She needs to GET OVER herself and the lame$tream media needs to get over her too...

...:wtf:

[Career Prole]

22. Cut short? Yeah...by me, when I cut it off two minutes in.

B.S., cut short. Yet another Palin commercial on DU. :puke:

[Turborama]

23. If you didn't watch it to the end...

... how can you say that it wasn't cut short? Each to their own, I think it's really funny watching the Repugnants spontaneously combust after our historic win...

[hisownpetard]

41. Aww - I know you're upset, but don't cut it off!

There must be less drastic things you can do, in protest.


:shrug:

[Career Prole]

42. Roffle!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Okay, that did it...I'm laughin' again!

[jeff30997]

26. Wow.

They should play recordings of her speeches to terrorist to make them talk...but only on the 24 TV

show because I'm against any form of torture and this one would make the Spanish Inquisition proud.

BTW she looks more and more pathetic.:puke:

[Best_man23]

29. This video confirms

The Republican Party has included Stupidity as a plank in their national platform.

[George II]

30. Imagine being one of the 20 OTHER Republican governors at that meeting?

Wouldn't you be totally pissed off and upset that that (excuse the term) bimbo is getting all the attention? She's a flaming idiot that can't speak a single, cogent sentence - just run-on sentences over and over again. If I were Crist or Pawlenty, two people who actually have some intelligence and some good ideas (not many, but some), I would be thinking today of some way to get her out of the party.

But, from my angle, I love to see her get up there and make a fool of herself, therebys showing how ridiculous and leaderless the Republican party is today.

All I can say is, "Thank you Sarah!!!"

33. what the hell was she rabbiting on about ????

[Enrique]

34. sounds like she's trying to sound more serious

less singsongy.

Alternatively, they might have drugged her up.

[BREMPRO]

36. Apparently she has no idea that the people soundly REJECTED her ideas for helping the country.

god she's embarrassing, I'll bet the other governors were steaming over her sucking all the air out of the room.

[coolhandlulu]

37. sssss

SNAKE!

[NeMetov]

38. Hmm

Sarah...

[143tbone]

39. What's really mind-blowing is seeing a transcript of a Sarah Palin "speech." n/t

[hisownpetard]

43. It's more suited to be transcribed in heiroglyphics...
