Can An Idiot Hide Her Stupidity? Caribou Barbie Says, Youbetcha!
Caribou Barbie wa’ah-wa’ahs about the press all the time.
She cries about their stories on her children (except when she’s whoring her children out to them for her own purposes,) she whines about their scrutiny of her actions as an executive (except when they write some puff piece about her “maverick” Alaskan tenure, which never happened,) and of course, she complains constantly about the press misconstruing everything she says (like that mean old Katie Couric having the audacity to ask her the names of newspapers she reads, and policy questions. Imagine!)
The truth is, the dumb bimbo can’t hide the fact that she’s a dumb bimbo if the press actually hear what she says and then report it. Unsurprisingly, this has caused Caribou Barbie a lot of consternation and hurt feelings. But Caribou Barbie isn’t just dumb as a rock; she’s also arrogant to the point of Napoleonic. That kind of a combination makes for some rather interesting decisions, as you can see.
It’s hard to imagine that anyone would believe that she could (1.) forbid the press from ever hearing anything she has to say, and (2.) still expect people to take her seriously, but that’s Caribou Barbie for ya. She’s America’s never-ending punch line.
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is set to deliver remarks at a Wisconsin Right to Life event Friday evening, one of the few speeches the former Republican presidential nominee will have given since she resigned the governorship last summer.
But Palin appears to be doing her best to keep a low profile on this trip: no press will be allowed into the Milwaukee auditorium where she will speak and those who have paid the $30 admittance fee are unable to carry in cell phones, cameras, laptops, or recording devices of any kind.
Wisconsin Democratic Party Chairman Mike Tate told the Wisconsin Radio Network he finds all these restrictions “bizarre.”
“You know, for someone who claims to be a rogue and isn’t afraid of what other people think it really is sort of hypocritical to not let the media, the press cover your event.”
Meanwhile Wisconsin Republican Party Chairman Reince Priebus said he’s excited Palin is coming to his state, but stressed the party has nothing to do with this event or its limitations.
I don’t blame Priebus. I wouldn’t want anyone associating any group I was a part of with this clown either. Clowns are supposed to be funny, not run a major political party.
Clearly, Caribou Barbie STILL doesn’t understand this. Maybe we could have the girl at the Sak’s perfume counter let her know.

I work with a group of teabaggers,my boss among them.They believe all the crap about the “liberal media” out to get palin,chief villains still being Couric and Letterman.
They won’t admit she’s a dumbfuck.They just cannot be reasoned with.Sometimes I’ll say “look,don’t insult my intelligence.If palin was a democrat you’d trash her for being an idiot.you KNOW you would.Just admit it” but they won’t.
True story.When she first hit the national scene and the Right were already bitching about the liberal media intentionally trying to trip her up,my coworkers were discussing the phenomena. I heard one say to the group “That’s like asking her ‘Who’s the president of Uzbekistan’.Like anybody would know that?”
I said very loudly Islam Karimov. The speaker glanced at me, and I repeated Islam Karimov. He said “what’s that?”. I walked over to the group and said Islam Karimov’s the president of Uzbekistan.
They were silent for a moment then one of them piped up “Yeah, how could anyone know that?” to a chorus of agreement.
You can’t make this stuff up man.

Caribou Barbie is appealing to the same bunch who still insist that Chimpy is the second coming of Jesus. There is no reasoning with them, because they simply do not know anything.

I’m surprised audience members don’t have to sign a loyalty oath before they’re allowed into the auditorium.

Oso, that’s a great anecdote. I love it.
Let’s all keep in mind that a big reason those on the right were so enthusiastic about Bush, and why they flock to witness Sarahbellum share what passes for wit and wisdom, is that the rest of us find Bush and Palin so completely incompetent, wrong and all-around unacceptable. The more Bush and Palin types make us crazy, the more the right values Bush and Palin types. There’s a strong spite thing at work here.

We can be certain of two things:
1) Mooseolini will make a fool of herself.
2) The GOP Reich will refuse to admit that she did.

S.W.Anderson,
Thanks. And good point,about the spite.It never quite clicked with me but makes sense,that the immature types of the Right would react like children. Like if you criticize your child’s friends you drive them closer together.Kind of an endearing trait in a 10-year old but not so cute in a teabagger.

SW – isn’t it amazing how far they will go to cut off half a continent’s noses to spite our faces?
OSO – crikey, do we work in the same place? After the first VP debate, when Palin refused to answer questions, my co-workers thought she was the coolest thing since sliced bread, and I’ve got another who refers to Ann Coulter as her “BFF”. Feel free to vomit now, I just did, a little, in my mouth.
