Oh good morning. Sleeping, we were? Perhaps spending time with family and friends? Those things do NOT sound like “thinking about Sarah Palin,” which means that for many of you, it has been two, even three hours since you have thought about Sarah Palin. Ha, hey look someone made a Going Rogue index and then uploaded it next to some JPGs of soldiers and cowboys! Well done. Since this same person also embedded a song terrible beyond all comprehension on the website, here are the interesting—Mick Jagger! “Issac,” the protagonist of Stephenie Meyer’s Bible series! Stapleton!—index terms, aggregated right here on your silent Wonkette.

  • Beatty, Warren 301
  • Black Eyed Peas 114
  • Ditka, Mike 301
  • Green, “Mean Joe” 177
  • Halcro, Andrew (“effete”) 116-117, 203
  • Isaac 173
  • Jagger, Mick 329
  • King, Jr., Martin Luther 86
  • Lewis, C.S. 27
  • Marx, Karl 84
  • McLeod, Andree (Falafel Lady) 107-108, 117, 353-354, 367
  • Napoleon 80
  • Plato 24
  • Sarah (Bible) 173
  • Stapleton, Meghan 116, 139, 142, 149, 150, 158, 253-254, 294, 332-333, 338, 363, 379, 383, 398-400

Oh yes… Aristotle between Susan B. Anthony and Bill Ayers. Too sweet.

John Ratzenburger?

Will he be more famous as a real Teabagger than the fake one (you know Cliff would be) he played on TV?

letmetellyou November 18, 2009 at 9:52 am

Jewel is listed on there. I wonder if Palin is a fan of “Pieces of You.”

Tundra Grifter November 18, 2009 at 9:53 am

“McLeod, Andree (Falafel Lady)” – Whiskey Tango Foxtwat ? Can someone please enlighten me here?

A light rapture would be appreciated.

You betcha!

JMP November 18, 2009 at 9:53 am

Somehow, I suspect Palin who most of the older historical figures like Aristotle and Plato really were, only her ghostwriter does; and Karl Marx is just “bad man” in her mind. Except for the biblical figures; you know, the ones who never actually existed.

I also suspect, seeing the two Baldwin brothers up there, that she’s probably the only person who prefers Stephen to Alec.

DollarStorePregnancyTest November 18, 2009 at 9:53 am

What on earth does Palin want with Mick Jagger and the Baldwins?

Terry November 18, 2009 at 9:54 am

How about a moratorum for the day on Palin stuff? Post some more info on the Latvian Iron Lady to remind us that female politicians can be, uh, qualified.

Enturbulate November 18, 2009 at 9:55 am

Was going to picket my local Barnes & Noble with a “Don’t Buy Palin’s Book, Morans!” sign but have decided to recognize the futility of such an act. Reality, for once, wins.

The deliberate omission of George Washington, the very Father of Our Country, leads me to the irrefutable conclusion that Sarah Palin is a communist plant.

germansteel November 18, 2009 at 9:56 am

What page does she mention the name of Todd’s business partner she was screwing, who happens to be St. Trig’s papa?

What Fresh Hell is This? November 18, 2009 at 9:57 am

Joe the Plumber more important than Jesus (no mention) in Sarah’s cosmology — or cosmetology?

Mr Blifil November 18, 2009 at 10:00 am

Plumber, Joe 69
Jameson, Jenna 69
Piper, Rowdy Roddy 69
Mandingo 69
Levi (penis) 69
Track 69
Trig 69
Jelly, KY 69

I definitely have to check out page 69.

bureaucrap November 18, 2009 at 10:00 am

It appears that Herman Melville’s in the index; I guess that means he was on Palin’s staff, as a consultant on the Alaskan whaling industry. In any case, it explains why he hasn’t written anything good in a few years.

snideinplainsight November 18, 2009 at 10:03 am

I can still hear my grandpa, now long passed, in front of the TV – “You know why that Mike Ditka is so tough? Because he’s a Ukey!” Please pass the pierogies!

WarAndG November 18, 2009 at 10:04 am

The spirit of the “Mustache of Understanding” (Thomas Friedman) visited me last night:

Sarah Palin is this era’s OJ Simpson!

Magazine covers with OJ were something to talk about
Magazine covers with Sarah are something for the Sarah to talk about

OJ murdered his wife
Sara murdered McBombs presidential hopes

OJ lied
Sarah lies (with virtually every utterance.)

Under-educated nitwits cheered for OJ
Under-educated nitwits cheer for Sarah

This connection illustrates the necessary imperative that we should bomb something in order to create Iran 2.0.

My father, the librarian, said that someone was waiting for the library to open yesterday with a copy of THE BOOK in her hand- to donate to the library. Because EVERYONE deserves a chance to read it, even the poors. Her words, not mine.

There’s 400 (or more) pages to this rag????????
If this book isn’t made of recycled toilet paper Sara needs to apologize to the trees that died for this homage to stupidity.

How can she prefer the lesser Baldwin brother after all those years she’s been on the TeeVees with the elder one? Must be a real big BioDome fan.

SayItWithWookies November 18, 2009 at 10:50 am

No wonder the book had no index — it’s not because she didn’t want people to look themselves up in it — it’s because she’s a freakin’ name dropper. Sarah Palin — moose-shooting, geopolitically challenged, mendacious, self-aggrandizing fundamentalist starf*cker. Not that anyone’s surprised.

superdave November 18, 2009 at 10:50 am

This is the third left-wing site I’ve seen that’s written its own index. Palin trolled the shit out of the liberal blogodome by not publishing an index.

bjkeefe November 18, 2009 at 10:56 am

This is not meant to be funny …

TNR has a full music-free index that is in any case better (via).

… but it is pretty funny to think about a bunch of Wonkette readers swarming TNR.

I set my alarm for 4:30am just so I could get a head start on thinking about Sarah.
Then I come out to my kitchen to make a pot of coffee and I see all you fuckers are already here.

Slightly OT, people, but in case y’all didn’t catch this on NPR yesterday… Even

Mr Blifil November 18, 2009 at 11:04 am

[re=461362]SayItWithWookies[/re]: More likely her supporters simply aren’t used to indexes in the back of whatever books they take up, and find their inclusion to be somehow gay/foreign. Just like they get headaches when there are discursive footnotes in smaller print at the bottom of the page. Suffice it to say that she’s no Oliver Sacks.

What’s next from the blogoshere after indexes? Addenda? Errata? Afterwords? Sequelae? Dramatic reënactment?

Palin Fatigue Syndrome. I got it, baby. At this point, I wish Obama would give her an ambassadorship to Luxemburg or something so she would just go away. She could even start her own dictatorship over there–the Luxies are probably tired of being ignored.

BeWoot November 18, 2009 at 11:08 am

I’m damned curious, but I not enough to buy that book just to find out what “Sarah Palin” has to say about Blaise Pascal. (Maybe I’ll just print out this index and take it to the inevitable Sarah shrine at Costco for some old curiosity shopping.)
