Palin Syndrome

By Craig Crawford | September 17, 2008 6:00 AM


Call it what happens when someone gets more than their 15 minutes of fame -- and what seemed like a rising star becomes a fiery crash.

The Palin Syndrome. It sounds like a science fiction movie, the made-for-tv or direct-to-dvd variety where studio heads only pay for the cheesiest special effects.

Sarah Palin is crashing. Less than two weeks ago the Republican vice presidential nominee burst into our living rooms like the fresh breeze we enjoy once turning off the air conditioner and opening the windows on that first day of September when the heat breaks.

But now the Alaska governor is turning out to be exactly what some suspected in the beginning - a false breeze. As quickly fleeting as the rosy cheeks that will probably disappear as she has little time for the tanning booth installed in her governor's mansion.

1. Hey babylonsister!

:hi:

Long time no see!

[babylonsister]

6. Hi, skooooo!

I know; Ike got in my way, but the power has now been on for 2.5 hours. Maybe I get to keep it this time! :hi:

[Cha]

9. I was thinking about you during

Ike and the aftermath..you're the only one I "know" who lives around there.

Did you all make out okay except for the power, babylonsister?

I was in a Cat 5 on Kauai in '92 so I know about surviving Hurricanes(Iniki).

[babylonsister]

12. We're fine, thanks for asking.

Our home protected us; some plants uprooted, but the roof held. Can't say the same for the rest of the people around here... nice to have power, and I'm so glad that's over.

[Cha]

14. If you ever feel like it..look up "Iniki" online

..I was in a house like yours like held even though it sounded like a freight train was imminently going to go through it:scared::scared:

I was with my son and 12 of his surfing buddies and their girlfriends. Taped all the windows and hunkered down for 12 hours while Iniki passed one way and then the calmness of the Eye only to pass over again! We were out of power for at least 3 months..really got use to candles:)

Cyber :hug: 5 years to rebuild but as with a lot of things..it wasn't all bad.

spinning wheel...

3. Crashing and

taking McCain's campaign with her.

[closeupready]

4. Yep, hee hee.

:rofl: gotta love it

[Pattib]

5. I knew this would happen, I think the ABC interview sunk her.

[Kolesar]

7. Jet-Jockey John put another one in the drink

The Alaska Republican Party already has one engine on fire. Palin could be the last of a series of gops to auger in.

[southpaw]

8. She's out of the spotlight

Now that serious issues have forced their way into the discussion, Sarah "Bucket o' Fluff" Palin is out of the picture.

I'm gonna enjoy watching her spectacular flame-out... or her pathetic fizzle. Either way, I'm good.

10. oooh - love the tanning booth line.

:toast:

[vaberella]

11. A false breeze or a loud fart....equally uncomfortable. n/t

[BumRushDaShow]

13. Wha?

"Less than two weeks ago the Republican vice presidential nominee burst into our living rooms like the fresh breeze.."

She burst into my livingroom like a demon out of hell spewing putrid, hate-filled diatribes. :eyes:

Glad the drugs are starting to wear off of these pontificating pundits who participated in the parody that is Palin.

(I guess the alliteration just came naturally.) :evilgrin:

[babylonsister]

15. Bravo!

:applause: Take a bow; your alliteration was perfect! :D

[Zenmaster]

16. "Game over, man. Game over!!!!"

[Lochloosa]

17. Wait till the debate....

:evilgrin:

I think Biden is licking his lips.

[President Decider]

18. SNL SKIT WAS THE PUNCH IN THE STOMACH .... THE MARKET CRASH IS NOW THE KNOCK-OUT PUNCH..

The GOP is done .... Gimmickry will only take you so far.

[LonelyLRLiberal]

22. And don't forget her sudden change of mind about cooperating with Troopergate investigation.

When you refuse to cooperate all of a sudden, it sure makes you look like you have lots of stuff to hide.

[DeeDeeNY]

19. All smoke and mirrors

And most of their base continues to fall for it.

[Nikki Stone1]

20. What are her poll numbers today?

(From a reliable poll)

21. CBS is saying the same thing
