1. That's because she didn't write it...
Those rubes who stand in the rain and the cold, waiting to buy her book have to be bone-stupid.

She never put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard). Anyone who knows the work involved in writing a book knows she had no part in that.

9. So what?
Do you think it would have sold better if she had written it herself? Lots of ghost-written celebrity memoirs sell well, or at least I guess they do, otherwise publishers wouldn't keep churning them out. Anyway, her braindead disciples don't care who wrote it, as long as it has some nice pictures of her for them to enjoy in their, ahem, special way.

2. In the gutter with those overexsposed Kardashian sisters...
Where they all belong. And hopefully, where they stay. Sarah's at 17 minutes and counting on Warhol's clock, and she damn well knows it.

3. Yes siree, the more people know about this dreadful
woman, the less they like her. What else is there to tell anyone. Guess some of the fasciation has worn off.

5. I predict a bout of Palin Fatigue.
At some point people will just be tired of hearing from her, tired of hearing about her, and just plain tired of hearing her. (That voice!)

Can anyone name a single positive vision or suggestion she has come up with in all this time? There aren't any. All she does is cry, whine, and complain. Even her supporters will gradually weary of her self-absorption and complete lack of substance.

Won't they?

10. Whereas her fans are amateurs
Edited on Thu Dec-16-10 11:11 AM by nxylas
Her genius, for want of a better word, is in channelling the anger felt by those at the bottom of the heap and directing it at the wrong target. In their minds, when Katie Couric persecutes Our Sarah by asking her gotcha questions like "what newspapers do you read?", she persecutes them also. :banghead:

6. Maybe that's why she was in Haiti ...
but then, all those people who can't afford to buy her book aren't likely to be whisked away into the fantasy world she lives in ...

12. What it really is
As many people know, the traditional method repigs use to inflate their book sales is by mass buys of said books, which are then given away as gifts when one subscribes to one of their propaganda writs. Usually facilitated by guys like DeVos, Coors, Koch etc, it is from their "petty cash" account.

What the bad sales of the book really means is that that the repig establishment is pushing Grifter down, and most likely want to eliminate her from the 2012 race before it begins. This gibes with other stories coming from the MSM, which, since it is very conservative, is a harbinger of pre-election moves in 2011 and beyond.

14. Schadenfreude
This is a wonderful german word that I have been told has no equivalent in the english language. It means, roughly, taking delight in some another's misfortunes.

I do enjoy a real good Sarah Failin'

Sarah is going to single handedly coax this word into main stream American lexicon any moment now.

15. As a native German speaker, I can't understand how English can function without "Schadenfreude"

Don't you guys feel the need for the word? LOL.

Schadenfreude. Exactly what I felt watching this video. As to the rest of the thread, I agree: Palin's 15 minutes are over.
