Saints and martyrs
One of the great mysteries of Tea Party politics has been the place of female leaders in their pantheon, from the whole coinage of "Mama Grizzly" to the baffling enthusiasm for Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin. It's not that Tea Partiers have suddenly decided their lifelong hostility towards feminism was…
And The Dragon Arises From The Southwest Or Wherever It Lives
The Palin will be doing the bus tour of the America, stopping at symbolic sites along the way in order to collect easily falsifiable anecdotes for the next few months. This seems an obvious prelude either to a presidential run or a soon-to-be-canceled History Channel show, but I'm sincerely hoping…
Huckabee leads Republicans for president: poll
BOSTON (Reuters) – Mike Huckabee holds a small lead in the field of potential Republican presidential candidates, while Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin have slipped, according to a Gallup Poll released on Friday. Gallup’s survey of 1,000 Republicans and Republican-leaning independents taken on March 18-22 put support for former Arkansas…
Cipher Palin
Dave Weigel’s suggestion for a Palin tweet index is clever and sadly on target. It is true that the number of words exhausted on every little tweet and flutter from her has gotten out of control. I suppose you could say this post is an example. But, what I realized…
Most blog posts ever on a TV show the blogger has never watched
As someone who thinks pop culture actually matters, even I have to say that the winner on “Dancing With The Stars” has no larger importance, and like Atrios, I wouldn’t be “pissed” if Bristol Palin won. My main emotions would be that mix of amusement, contempt, and pity I feel…
Palin laments loss of privacy on first episode of reality TV show
It begins with a sweep-around view of a lake at the end of Palin’s Wasilla, Alaska home. “Where I like to do a lot of my writing and researching especially on beautiful day is outside,” she remarks, “where I get to take in the beauty of the lake.” But it…
Meghan McCain hits Bristol Palin, says Christine O’Donnell ‘is out of her frickin’ mind’
A winning election night is like Christmas in the McCain household, Meghan McCain told NBC’s Jay Leno Wednesday. And the famous Republican daughter has reason to celebrate. McCain’s father won another term in the Senate and Republicans took back the House of Representatives in Tuesday’s midterms. “It was a big…
Sarah Palin doesn’t believe in coincidences
Update, Part Two: Sarah knows way more than me about all this. Like me, she thinks there was a story inside that Vanity Fair piece that was basically ignored, and she digs in. Read the whole thing—Palin’s Pentecostal beliefs are a big influence on her thinking. Update: On Twitter, Sarah…
Explaining away eye-roll at teacher, Palin invents new use for Botox
Confronted by an especially tenacious protester in Alaska recently, former governor Sarah Palin tried to put on a good show for the lone camera present. Tried, that is, until learning the woman so adamantly criticizing her works was a teacher. Her reaction is best described as an eye roll. Naturally,…
Shocker: Bill O’Reilly hassles Palin on immigration, says he fears ‘mama grizzlies’
In a recent interview broadcast by Palin employer Fox News, opinion host Bill O’Reilly appeared flustered at the former Alaska governor’s lack of substantive response to his leading questions on immigration policy. Placing Palin in the hypothetical role of “president,” O’Reilly asked how many National Guard troops she would send…
