So Palin is going to Haiti
with the fundie asshole Franklin Graham this weekend to visit a cholera clinic. Is it OK for me to openly hope that lady blah blah and her fundie host contract cholera during this visit? I hope not because I'd have a hard time keeping my glee under wraps if they did.

1. Pretty sure she won't be drinking any shit-contaminated water.

One can hope that a few microbes
stray into her always flapping maw.

7. What better place for her?

Think about it... is the Teabagger dream. I bet the tax rates are great, theres plenty of cheap labor, and theres no social safety net at all. Domestic manufacturing there is already dead... so no unions or anything like that. And Haiti is notorious for its corruption in government so I'm sure her grifting would be overlooked.

I wouldn't be surprised if she installs herself as dictator.

8. Unlike others, who serve and move on, she'll be blabbing forever about just going there.
She'll be even more unbearable if even possible. Ugh.

10. No doubt about it
she'll be tweetin' and facebookin' up a bloody storm the second she can and every one of her incessant and moronic updates will be reported as news.

She makes Miley Cyrus look like a Rhodes Scholar.

14. I'm sure she'll get some photos with those poor colored people.
It really pisses me off that she's going there. Being the bigot that she is, I can't see her thinking anything much more than that this is the lot for people who are less than her (in her mind).

I'm guessing she and her loco friend Bachmann also think that this is because of a curse due to the people of Haiti bein' involved in voodoo and all.... Never mind the fact that so many are Catholic, and sat in a field singing to God after the quake.

It is beyond criminal what is happening to the people of Haiti. There have been more than a few journalists who have remarked that they cannot believe the lack of action over there.They never got the help they needed after the quake. They had to endure unecessary death and amputations due to lack of medical and rescue help. Then the floods, now cholera.

Now after catastrophe upon catastrophe, government corruption and world apathy, they have started rioting. Bigots like Palin will be smugly satisfied that "that's all these people know how to do." Or, "they don't value life".

I only wish that she is shocked into reality and compassion when she goes there. It would be great if she decided to devote her time to helping the people. She's in a perfect position for it.

People have changed, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

12. Warning! Category 5 Hurricane of Stupidity Bearing Down on Haiti
Citizens are urged to seek shelter away from television and radio for the next few days.

A storm surge of vapid and insipid language is expected and will be accompanied by copious amounts of hot air.

16. She doesn't realize it is a country. She think's it is just a convention of people who hate.
That's just what she likes.
