2008 To Conclude:

Posted by Charles Mudede on Fri, Nov 28, 2008 at 4:13 PM

With Palin, what we find is a beauty that is one with the beasts. Meaning, her beauty is not about truth or purity but about animals, often wild animals. With Palin’s arrival on the American political stage came a whole bestiary. Suddenly, everywhere around her: wolves, polar bears, pit bulls, caribous, cougars, barracudas, and moose. We only have to look at the image of Palin in her Alaska office to see her in her element—the beauty/beasts mode. With suntanned legs, Palin sits on a couch covered by the skin of a roaring grizzly. In front of her, a monstrous crab rises from the glass of a coffee table. If we were to pan to left, we’d expect to see a stuffed eagle or some other bird of prey.

To be seduced by Palin is to be seduced by something harmful to your soul. Palin is like those ghosts in Japanese ghost stories. To the eyes of those who are enchanted/seduced, she is a beautiful woman; but to those who can see the truth, she is worms, bones, and a slimy skull. If a man has the right vision of her (the inner ugliness, the animality) then there’s no way he could find her attractive. Absolutely no way! If you think she is beautiful, you are the slave of a wicked spell.

Palin's office image and her "Turkey Interview" have something to do with this image:

The origin of the image is unknown to me, but a part of its strangeness echoes with the beauty/beast code that is at the core of Palin's mode of being.

If only the "beauty queen" was half as eloquent as you Charles.

Did anyone else first read that line as "beauty and the breast"? Or was it just me?

"...plus it looks like a bear fucking a girl, which also resonates with my prurient-inability-to-accept-female-sexuality-but-able-to-spout-academic-sounding-bullshit facade which I strive so hard to keep up."

It is evident now. You could switch the population of West Virginia with that of Alaska and you wouldn't know the difference. Genocide is an abominable thought but it becomes less so when you see that picture of Palin on the couch.

Dude, Sarah Palin is not hot. She is actually an incredibly ugly lady. When foreign leaders met her and said she was SO BEAUTIFUL, I'm sure it was followed by "gSNRK*gwfHAha--um, excuse me."

What's the matter, DemoLibs?

Has Obama started to bore you to death yet?

Yawn...it could have been so interesting for 4 years instead...

Posted by John Bailo on November 28, 2008 at 4:58 PM

@6 I just vomited in my own mouth a little bit. Yes, murdering civilians is so interesting when it's 9,000 miles away, you fuck-witted jeffrey dahmer piece of shit.

john failo,

if the last 8 years have been "interesting" to you, i'll take boring ol' obama any day.

have fun in the wilderness! don't forget to troll!!!

Bailo is someone's cliche fake online persona designed to fuck with Slog commenters. Pay it no mind.

If I'm wrong, well... that's even sadder.

Sarah Palin is sitting next to a bear. The bear is sitting behind a crab. Therefore, Sarah Palin is about to get eaten by a giant crab-like monster. Q.E.D., bitches!

Watching Palin's "Turkey Interview" was so surreal, most so when she said her son's striker brigade in Iraq was safe. My husband and I both thought, "His middle name is Brigade?" Because we thought she actually had a son named that. Then we remembered that her son is really named Truckee McGee.

Barack Hussein Osama should enjoy his Marxist reign of terror to be while he can, because Sarah Barracuda will arrive in 2012 to restore America to it's proper place, and hopefully all of the Marxists will be held accountable.

Give 'em hell, Sarah!

I'm pretty sure the happy bear sodomizing the giddy tourist is in the Yosemite gift shop.

Posted by Yawn. on November 28, 2008 at 6:12 PM

Damn. Her crabs are so big she keeps them on the coffee table instead of in her pants.

Presidential material for sure.

Posted by sara's critters on November 28, 2008 at 6:18 PM

@12, America's proper place is one wherein the difference between "it's" and "its" is known, appreciated, and utilized.

I hated Palin and feared for our lives, and our country if she got in the White House. But I would still fuck her. I went out with an evangelical Christian for six months, and even went to church with her, for the sex.

The girl below is doing her impression of CC's.

I am in a foul mood with Palin today... I made some offhand comment about how if Obama's first term goes well, I'd love to se her run in 2012 and get crushed. My dad (a Democrat) said, now, maybe you should take the longer view and think about how much that would set back women in the field of politics...

Fuck that. Why is it that she is more solidly in the category of "women" than in the category of "moron"? Why isn't it that her candidacy in 2012 would set back the cause of morons in politics more than women in politics?

I refuse to believe that this person is some kind of representative for my gender. But, I'm irritated because I think there's a possibility that my dad may have a point. Stupid Palin.

lord basil! you're still with us! i had despaired that you had forsaken us for "america uber alles" or some other more palatable (to you) right wing radical blog. welcome back.

Posted by ellarosa on November 28, 2008 at 9:13 PM

Poor Sarah. Too stupid to know how stupid she is, but so invested in her own youthful beauty that she can almost make other people believe in it, too.

Posted by Calpete on November 28, 2008 at 9:16 PM

i'd hit it

Posted by anonymous on November 28, 2008 at 11:33 PM

i know what that last photo reminds me of

Sarah Palin on TV = maintaining the democrat majority.

Posted by Luke Baggins on November 29, 2008 at 1:06 AM

Is that a bear fuckin a white girl in a Hallmark?

Posted by Porn Czar (I Can See Chatsworth From My Trailer!) on November 29, 2008 at 4:30 AM

People like Sarah Palin, who view the north as something to be plundered and shot, instead of endured and occasionally enjoyed are fucktards. I can not emphasize enough how this woman is so not "Of the animals". Maybe you could stretch it to say she is "on the animals".

have you ever heard of an indian charles?

Posted by ams on November 29, 2008 at 4:42 AM

Maybe you are just not attracted to white women, Charles. That's ok.

Posted by James Watson on November 29, 2008 at 8:31 AM

It looks like the basement of the UW Bookstore on the Ave.

And I think that bear is fake.

Posted by elswinger on November 29, 2008 at 11:57 AM

if you are not fixated on the taste of her cunt - well - you just don't get it

powerrrr cuntttt, nourisheeeed on moose loin ..

Charles is half fag, or more, that is why he makes such a display here of his pinup collection - I did that when I was 13 - then discovered cock as well

Palin would fuck you raw, lame, and exhausted, dear Charles. And forget your name the next day.

Of course, your prose would improve for a few days.... basking in the glow ...

A word to the wise - bears actually have smaller "units" than you realize.

They just look bigger cause they don't grow as much.

(from a long long lifetime in the Canadian Rockies where I watched way too many nature specials cause there was only one or two channels on the tube)

Posted by Will in Seattle on November 29, 2008 at 7:32 PM

The pakage would look bigger if the bear shaved and lost some belly fat.

Posted by elswinger on November 29, 2008 at 11:46 PM

Charles,

I found that image from phun dot org (NSFW) on August 18th. I've posted on my blog and on a few message boards. Mine has the watermark and a bit more to the top of the image.

If you really want to track down the origin, you can start with the guy at phun and see what he says.
