“A MUST-READ ORGAN OF CONSERVATIVE OPINION”: this is how The Corner’s #1 accurate describer of things Rich Lowry characterizes Sarah Palin’s Facebook page, with those words right over there. The ones in caps. No, no, in black. The bold ones right above right here. There are like seven of them? Just keeping looking until you find them. [The Corner via Ben Smith]

Is he talking about Palin or a character from a bad biker movie from the 50s. “See man I don’t need any of your ruuulees keeping me down.”

Hedley Lamar November 18, 2009 at 11:52 am

Heh… he said organ.

“She’s like an isotope designed to course throughout our politics and culture”

Sounds kinda scienceyy, I don’t think SP goes for that kinda eggheady/elitist empirical evidence talk, lets stick to Jesus riding dinosaurs.

A “must-read ORGAN?” Lowry’s obviously a lip-reader.

bureaucrap November 18, 2009 at 11:55 am

If they gave Sarah Palin’s boobs their own separate Facebook page, the number of followers for the one devoted to her “brain” would drop off dramatically.

Egregious November 18, 2009 at 11:56 am

And of those “one million fans,” how many are asking the Govevenor about her opinion RE truck nutz?

He must be one hell of a touch typist, what with his head so firmly implanted up between Sarahs’ Buttocks.

Did he mention something about lining up to put a good hard-on to Sarah? That’s not very Jesus-like.

Oddly enough, an anagram for “conservative” is Craven Soviet. And she can see Russia from her front porch. So I call COMSYMP-PINKO-FELLOW TRAVELLER on her “Reagan Won The Cold War” bulls*** sycophancy. Or better, psychophancy. Also.

Wait his reed is an organ, or his organ is a reed? This is important.

“She’s like an isotope designed to course throughout our politics and culture”

Wait, which one? Is deuterium or tritium? Maybe Carbon-14 – no, that one proves that human civilization is more than 6000 years old; so not that one.

Actually, from the way his analogy seems to work, the guy who’s using all these big words and trying to sound so intellectual is probably mixing up isotopes (nonstandard number of neutrons; not involved with electricity) with ions (nonstandard number of electrons; essential part of electricity).

Click November 18, 2009 at 12:16 pm

“She’s like an isotope designed to course throughout our politics and culture.”
Assuming he meant a radioactive isotope, then yeah she’s definitely unstable, I’ll give him that.

randomsausage November 18, 2009 at 12:18 pm

Meanwhile, over at The Atlantic, the limey bear-man is in full lock-down mode….suspending operations while he and his boy-cubs parse every sentence of La Palin’s book for inconsistencies or some such. Fun times!

Guppy06 November 18, 2009 at 12:19 pm

[re=461442]Suds McKenzie[/re]: In that sense, I thought Meghan McCain’s girls were the “must-see conservative organs.”

comicbookguy November 18, 2009 at 12:21 pm

She’s like an isotope coursing through the body, Plutonium-238 for example. My only question now is, what’s her half-life?

PsycGirl November 18, 2009 at 12:21 pm

[re=461462]Click[/re]: More like a free radical. Does anyone notice that by using Facebook she controls not only her message but the response to them? Why give pesky “press” interviews where they ask you hard questions when you can just blat something on your status update?

JP November 18, 2009 at 12:22 pm

I love the noncommital evasion in the next to last sentence.
“If Palin is their voice and channels their energy productively, she’s part of the Republican answer to Obama, no matter what presidential politics ultimately holds for her.”

And what is she isn’t their voice?

Monsieur Grumpe November 18, 2009 at 12:22 pm

Well after that literary masturbation Sarah only needs one thing more…
A theme song! The catchy tune should be something with a cowboy feel, singing about stringing up liberals, riding into the sunset on a white virgin horse and all kinds of mavericky stuff. Andy (I’m not dead yet) Williams can do the recording.

chaste everywhere November 18, 2009 at 12:22 pm

[re=461436]JavaJack[/re]: Only three good touch-typists remain in Warshington. All the other typists (aka “journalists”) are just hunt’n'peckers.

SmutBoffin November 18, 2009 at 12:23 pm

When Barack Obama goes on, like, 10 Sunday morning talk shows in a row or whatever, conventional wisdom (crafted by Main Stream Media dingleberries, of course) says that he risks “overexposing” himself. When Palin peddles her squidgy ass all over the airwaves and intertubes for two weeks straight, does anyone indicate that maybe this is a bad thing for her?

Trucknutz are an organ, yes?

Brendan M. November 18, 2009 at 12:28 pm

You know, if Jim Newell wrote this post, he would have explicitly and gratuitously drawn the obvious connection between all this “organ” talk and Lowry starburstin’ all over the place all the time when Sarah’s around. This is why I am very happy Juli is working at Wonkette.

Still, I’m surprised no one has made a comment along these lines in the comments yet.

While it is unspeakably shallow to address Goobernor Palin’s appearance, as opposed to her policies and ideas*, it was nonetheless evident in the Baba Wawa interview clips that Snowbilly’s developing a case of the droopy chin wattle. So her main appeal is faaaading fast, and it won’t be long now until her 15 months of fame are over, dontcha know.

*Ha ha! as if she had any!

Oh I get it. She’s like an isotope running through the body politic, which we can then look at, see the glowing bits and say there, that’s where the problem is. Call the surgeon.

Brilliant review. Nail. Head. Hit.

“SHE’S A SELFISH INCOMPETENT EMBARRASSMENT FOR HER PARTY, COUPLED WITH THE BITCH FACTOR OF HILLARY” That’s what Lowery said on “The Corner” in an alternative universe where a dunderheaded-snow-billy DEMOCRAT quit being the Governor of Alaska because…why did she quit again? Oh yeah because she is a selfish incompetent embarrassment.

[re=461527]El Pinche[/re]: That was my 12-year-old-boy synopsis of what I just read. Seriously, that article made me ill. You know deep down inside (maybe not so deep) these conservatives and GOopers are miserable and they hate Palin. They’re just too….conservative to admit it.

PickneyPinchback November 18, 2009 at 1:10 pm

Starbursts wrote: “First, Palin divided Democrats and Republicans. Then she divided the conservative commentariat. Finally, she divided the McCain campaign itself, which devolved into an ugly internal war over its vice-presidential nominee.” Then Starbursts goes on to say how she is fantastic and she is the Republican answer to Barry.

So let me get this right, she is divisive and pulls the Repub party apart, so she is our only hope and should run for anything to save the world.

Yes, please do this.

[re=461428]red sky[/re]: Well, if any “designs” isotopes, it would have to be the Creator (scientists “discover” them, not “design” them), so the statement can be read not only as SP being God’s instrument on earth, but as an implicit endorsement of “intelligent design”.
