[HipChick]

1. I'm lovin' this. keep up your stupid sideshow, Palin

every day you think you're a viable "player" is one more day the GOP is in the wilderness and isn't even on a track to getting out.

[gooey]

10. I may be wrong

But I seriously doubt she reads these blogs. What is it that you're hoping to accomplish?

[uppityperson]

12. This is a forum, not a blog. Fwiw.

[gooey]

13. Smarty pants.

I STILL don't think she reads it.

[ET Awful]

20. When would she have time, she's too busy reading ALL of the newspapers and magazines

[gooey]

21. Touche

But you never answered my question.

[ET Awful]

24. Okay, since you apparently want to be willfully (and arrogantly) obtuse

A statement such as "take that XXXXX" which is addressed to anyone, is, in most cases, made with the knowledge that such statement will NEVER be read by the person to whom it's addressed.

It's an editorial device used to emphasize the person and personality being discussed.

Anyone who would seriously entertain the thought that a person making such a statement actually believed that the person being discussed would read it is ignorant of the English language and one extremely common device thereof.

For instance, when someone like John Stuart says "So take that Bill O'Reilly", he knows with almost 100% certainty that Bill O'Reilly is not watching his show.

Now, did you really need someone to spell that out for you, or are you just trying to stir up shit?

[PretzelWarrior]

39. goood ansah!

[gooey]

44. Of course O'Reilly watches Jon Stuart.

I don't know what would make you think otherwise.

An "editorial device"? Come on. That's something somebody made up so they could "legitimately" bitch about someone else.

Either way, it's still mean-spirited and borderline hateful.

I'm not trying to stir up anything.

I just don't believe in fighting hate with hate.

[ET Awful]

57. I withdraw the "apparently". Replace it with "obviously".

N/T

[gooey]

58. So just answer one question then.

Do you think it's okay to hate?

[piratefish08]

25. You're probably right. Somebody has to read it TO her.

[Ignis]

45. ...

[sendero]

27. Who cares if she reads it..

... as long a a million other people do. What's your point?

[Inspired]

18. Really? You don't think she reads the DU?

Jeez...we thought she did.

[SpiralHawk]

22. Gooey not get rhetorical gambit

Not get rank Palin-Republicon perverted family values & hypocrisy.

Not get IT.

[Th1onein]

30. Yeah, you're wrong. She's a narcisstic. She can't help herself.

She's all about HER. She's reading every word she can find about herself.

(Hey Sarah! Read this: Fuck you.)

[Hepburn]

41. I seriously doubt she reads....PERIOD. n/t

[senseandsensibility]

43. No, she's way above that.

Welcome to DU.

[Eric68601]

2. It will be revealed

Trig is actually his and what's her name's first kid, Sarah adopted him for political gain. The new kid is their second. Or the first kid has a different father.

I'm sure the National Enquirer will get to the bottom of it before everyone else... not that I give 2 flyings fuggs either way about Sarah Palin's stupid ass life.

[SoCalDem]

8. Actually, I think Sarah "took him" as her own to spare Bristol

the angst of having to raise a handicapped child as a teen Mom.. She was NOT the veep candidate back then in late Feb/early Mar when that little guy was probably really born. I can see Sarah forbidding Bristol to ever see levi again, but teens being the impulsive people they are, she took right up with him and got pregnant again...maybe out of pique from Mom "stealing her baby"..

This is the only thing that makes sense.. Levi was probably happy to be off the hook for support for a handicapped child, so she probably thought he'd keep quiet

[shellgame26]

48. The fact that there are no hospital records

that she ever gave birth to him has always been curious.

[SoCalDem]

50. and nothing but the briefest "report" from her doctor/gal-pal

who received more than a couple of lucrative appointments from Guv Sarah..

No one wanted the gory details of the state of her girly-bits, but we certainly had a right to see some medical information that would have included sonagrams perhaps..or listed the dates of her pre-natal visits

[eppur_se_muova]

51. That's gonna be a big problem when he runs for POTUS. nt

[PBass]

3. They're both awful. I'm rooting for injuries on both sides. (NT)

[Lindsey]

5. I'm sorry to admit it but I'm THRILLED that Levi is doing this...

on second thought, I'm NOT sorry to admit it. She said President Obama was "pallin' around with terrorists. She paraded that little baby around on stages sometimes as late as midnight! Family values?!?!?!?!?!?! W T F!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She was so delusional that she had no idea she wasn't qualified to be V.P (and possibly President if something had happened to McCain). And of course the list goes on and on and on. She's simply pathetic beyond words. GO LEVI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[malaise]

15. +1

[goclark]

28. Was it The Clampets Family

they remind me of --The Alaska Hillbillies?

[Kahuna]

33. I am with you.

[Blue_In_AK]

38. Another member of Team Levi checking in.

I have no idea what the truth of the Trig/Tripp thing is, but I'm sure Levi has damaging info. Spill it, Levi.

[gooey]

11. Finally someone with at least a little brains.

[Cleita]

4. They really belong on the Jerry Springer Show.

It's a perfect match.

[Hubert Flottz]

23. Sarah would fit right in with Jerry's crew...

[Nothing Without Hope]

6. If he's not more careful, the crazies will make him a target

And he doesn't have Secret Service protection.

I note that there are multiple un-recommends going on with this thread. Interesting.

[Blue_In_AK]

40. He doesn't have secret service

but he has Rex Butler and Tank Jones who seem to be watching over him pretty carefully.

[cherokeeprogressive]

52. His meth dealer will probably be the one making him the target. n/t

[underseasurveyor]

7. If he's going to do it he better just do it now

Before something happens to him.

[jimlup]

9. Levi is an anogram for ...

The whole thing is an unbelievable joke.

Honestly, I don't care. People who haven't seen through Sarah Palin yet are not going to see through her now no matter what Levi says.

Though for Levi's sake... don't fly in small planes dude.

[leftynyc]

14. She used him during the election

And now he's using her to make some bucks and stay in the spotlight. Both whores who deserve eachother.

[verdalaven]

16. Meh.

Sensationalist crap. I watched the clip and didn't hear anything I hadn't heard before. Whether Trig is Sarah Palin's baby or not, who cares at this point? She has already given us enough to combat her in 2012, we don't need the baby flap at all. For instance - Sarah Palin = A Quitter. If she couldn't handle four years as the Alaska Governor, how can she handle being President of the United States. Right?

[shimmergal]

29. Baby flap either way to some...

If Trig was born the way she said, it looks like reckless endangerment of her baby-to-be. Maybe trying to force God to do a late-term abortion?

[Solomon]

32. That's what I kept saying.

[dmr]

49. that's the biggest problem of her story

Her actions say one of two things:

1. the pretense she is the mother

2. the endangerment of an unborn child

None of her actions make sense to me. Take for example, that after having multiple births, labor time usually is much, much shorter. Considering her water broke in Texas, and the hours of flight time, let alone car time - it makes no sense that any woman would risk her child's life, or even her own so recklessly. I highly doubt she could cross her legs to stop Trig's birth to accommodate her return to Alaska; bypassing the closest hospital to the airport, but going to an out-of-the-way "Palin-friendly" hospital.

Why would anyone take risks like that? Why would anyone get on a plane, flying so far from home at that point in a pregnancy anyway?

I doubt I will ever be convinced Trig is actually her son.

Why do I care? Because she keeps insinuating herself into national politics as an influential leader. Not my leader, but some others 'believe' in her - and that is a baffling & dangerous perspective.


Edit: spelling

[KharmaTrain]

17. The Reverse "Some Say" Effect

Usually it's the rushpublicans who love to play this game...and when its played on them it drives them goofy. As long as her family life is part of the nightly joke rotation on the late night talk shows, Mooselini is laughed at more than taken seriously. As long as Levi lobs bombshells at her the more the jokes roll and the deeper her hole to "respectability" becomes. It was said what really hurt both the late Edward Kennedy and Bill Clinton were the relentless pounding they took from comics and other media types about their private lives.

[Ichingcarpenter]

19. The thing I love about Palinmooseburger is that she will always respond

with something rhetorical at a junior high school slutty cheerleader's level.

Its delicious!!!! And so presidential ,if you were running for
a grade school election.

[liberalla]

26. Agreed! She absolutely will not get out of her own way.

boggles the mind...

But delicious, as you say!

[rucky]

31. It's Fargin War!

[Jester Messiah]

34. Ugh...

Feels like I'm reading a supermarket tabloid. That woman and her tawdry crew need to just disappear.

[chrisa]

35. We already know Palin is a nitwit.

Can we forget she ever existed now? Levi Johnston will do anything for attention, like the balloon boy's parents, or octomom.

Join in next week when he starts spouting UFO theories, or becomes a 9/11 truther.

[Old and In the Way]

36. She never released her medical records.

How's she gonna avoid this the next time?

[HipChick]

37. there will not be a next time..

She'll never run...she'll just keep the hope of running out there...it will keep the money rolling in..she's not interested in the hard lift of politics..she likes the fame,the lights etc..

[badgerpup]

42. Let's do this thing properly, OK people?

Everybody knows that if you're gonna have a soap opera...
that along with the mandatory 9 billion articles of designer clothing that apparently every character possesses (no matter what their supposed income or social status), stilted dialogue, poor/ambiguous communication skills (immaturity/self-centeredness optional on this one), almost aggressive cluelessness, and penchant for making really STUPID decisions that always seem to involve fortnorkin' somebody they really shouldn'ta oughta...
There's a cheesy, schmaltzy, gloriously overdone theme music...usually performed by either piano or strings.

You hear the music, and you KNOW you're in for your daily dose of angst, thud, and blunder.

We really, really need a theme music for this.

As a bona fide, tree-hugging liberal

I hereby invoke the Power of the Democratic Underground to come up with an original Theme for the ongoing Johnston/Palin feud!



If we're gonna do this, then by all the gods there may yet be, let's do it RIGHT!

[Manifestor_of_Light]

55. I'm so old I remember when ALL soaps on TV had organ music.

And that zombie Macdonald Carey announcing.......tick tick tick

[UTUSN]

46. It is THE TRUTH. That is all. n/t

[earth mom]

47. So are Levi and Bristol the parents of Trig or what???!!!

That's what I really want to know.

[cherokeeprogressive]

53. Bully on us for making a hero out of a high school dropout who probably couldn't write his way out

of a paper bag.

Anyone who doesn't understand that he's got "handlers" feeding him lines, hoping he'll remember something someday that actually has value in the context of putting an end to Sarah Palin's fifteen minutes of fame is incredibly naive.

I think he's coached every hour that he's awake.

If he HAD anything approaching a smoking gun about Palin and her performance as Governor of Alaska, he'd have given it up already. And who here believes in their heart that he was privy to her everyday performance as Governor? What is he, something like Al Capone's accountant? Ready to spill beans about keeping double sets of books concerning her daily doings?

He's a fucking punk, and I put his fame clock at about 14:45, and ticking.

You guys go ahead though, and keep wishing/wanting to believe that he's all that and a bag o' chips. He ain't.

What he is, is a popcorn fart in a gale force wind; only noticeable by those who actually heard the sound it made.

[troubledamerican]

54. I like Levi. He's one of the good guys.

If he ain't against us, he might as well be with us.

A lot of DUers don't get it. They demand purity. They need to feel good about themselves by looking down on an ordinary guy. And pissing on an ordinary kid.

Levi ain't on Palin's team. That's good enough for me.

[upi402]

59. Yep, an enemy of Palin is a pal of mine

She is a freak and it needs to be checked. Good on the guy for letting a bit of sunlight hit that soft white slimy underbelly.

[JBoris]

56. ... is the title of a really gross porno movie. nt
