@6:  I don't think Ms Palin even considers the opinions of the GOP ops; she's got her own thing going, and they're at best a meager ally, and at worst an impediment to her ambitions.  @3 is probably a lot closer to the truth of the situation, which is pretty scary when you think about it.

"[Palin] is molested from childhood by her stepfather. As a young adult she moves from her rural village to find work in factory, where she engages in an affair with her boss. She works later as a maid, and then as a prostitute."<br />
<br />
But then, I haven't seen this 1963 movie.<br />

If Palin is an insect, then Mudede is an insect robot.

Which I hope she keeps getting.

      <![CDATA[insect woman is a famous Imamura film centered on an amoral woman who scratches and crawls though the metaphoric shitpile of human associations in order to survive as a sub-human thing in the hideousness of life in fucked-up poverty-stricken sexist mid-century japan. Insect woman is a metaphor for the overall harshness of those times; Palin is an all too flesh and blood metaphor for the ignorance, narcissism, self-serving and absurdly hypocritically righteous american right.  mudede for the win.

      <![CDATA[and there the references to animals are, once again. seems that when Mudede really needs to insult someone, he reaches for the animal metaphor. weak.<br />
<br />
Palin is an "insect" woman (btw, wtf does that mean?)<br />
and<br />
the GOP are "licking their wounds" (something that only non-human animals do)<br />
<br />
You know, some insects are really freaking cool, and fascinating, and beautiful.

<br />
really?  1) are you 12?  and 2) did you read the article? "Palin said...pressing state business made it  <em>impossible for her to leave Alaska this weekend."</em><br />
<br />
she's both a terrible liar and a bountiful font of endless gifts.  thanks once again, sarah!

      <![CDATA[Hello everybody! I am down in LA for a most unlikely mini-vacation (It's horrid, but the weather is wonderful) <br />
<br />
So this morning I found myself in the most dreadful of Sheratons: A place where the bartender had never even heard of a Belinni, with a bunch of MEN who were fixated on THE GAME (mind you, this was hours before it even started, so they weren't even drunk yet) when the NBC switched to la Palin. <br />
<br />
She was broadcasting live from a room full of pre-schoolers (or something - whatever they were, they were small and proved to be her intellectual equal)<br />
<br />
Anyway, as she prattled on, this MILF was presumably playing to her audience (my fellow middle-aged pasty white men in the Sheraton bar) but they were having none of it: it was a collective groan. They had more a response when they cut to Matt Lauer at the White House!<br />
<br />
So, hopefully, when you've lost the downtown LA Sheraton Bar Crowd, you've lost America.

      <![CDATA[She's such an idiot. If she'd just told them the truth I'm sure they would have understood. But she just threw away a whole bunch of brownie points for no good reason by lying. I think she's just a pathological liar who feels the need to conceal everything that's even slightly socially awkward or embarrassing- and maybe it worked for her in high school, but when you're a national public figure all your lies will be exposed sooner or later.
