My all-purpose response to anyone voicing support for for Sarah Palin:

[Atticus]

"How disappointing. She is dangerously ignorant and unprepared. Bin Laden and his friends would rejoice if she was elected!

Why do you hate America?"

[lunasun]

1. i can never respond becuz i am always in shock at how someone would support an idiot 4 POTUS

[monktonman]

2. I always say...

"oh how nice... you deserve her"

[Jester Messiah]

3. There's no point in talking to such people.

Just hand them a pair of scissors and tell them to go for a run.

[sueh]

4. Great response. You have created one hell of a talking point.

[Zax2me]

5. Cool...

but even that seems a little long.
Could go with your last sentence and be done!

[Pholus]

6. Good one. I just work in a reference to the "Half-term governor from Alaska"

and a joke about the bumper sticker I plan to show: "Palin 2012-2013.5"

[EC]

7. I just say

"Great, a woman will never get elected again, if she gets in the White House..." People will just use her as the reason for women not being ready or able to handle it...

[Gabi Hayes]

8. remember this, from the nomination speech?

She totally reminds me of my cousin!" the delegate screeched. "She's a real woman! The real thing!"

I stared at her open-mouthed. In that moment, the rank cynicism of the whole sorry deal was laid bare. Here's the thing about Americans. You can send their kids off by the thousands to get their balls blown off in foreign lands for no reason at all, saddle them with billions in debt year after congressional year while they spend their winters cheerfully watching game shows and football, pull the rug out from under their mortgages, and leave them living off their credit cards and their Wal-Mart salaries while you move their jobs to China and Bangalore.

And none of it matters, so long as you remember a few months before Election Day to offer them a two-bit caricature culled from some cutting-room-floor episode of Roseanne as part of your presidential ticket. And if she's a good enough likeness of a loudmouthed middle-American archetype, as Sarah Palin is, John Q. Public will drop his giant-size bag of Doritos in gratitude, wipe the Sizzlin' Picante dust from his lips and rush to the booth to vote for her. Not because it makes sense, or because it has a chance of improving his life or anyone else's, but simply because it appeals to the low-humming narcissism that substitutes for his personality, because the image on TV reminds him of the mean, brainless slob he sees in the mirror every morning.

Sarah Palin is a symbol of everything that is wrong with the modern United States. As a representative of our political system, she's a new low in reptilian villainy, the ultimate cynical masterwork of puppeteers like Karl Rove. But more than that, she is a horrifying symbol of how little we ask for in return for the total surrender of our political power.

Not only is Sarah Palin a fraud, she's the tawdriest, most half-assed fraud imaginable, 20 floors below the lowest common denominator, a character too dumb even for daytime TV -and this country is going to eat her up, cheering her every step of the way.
