But not in a good way --
"Palin's had a rough 2009 thus far, drawing headlines often more suitable for Britney Spears than for a serious politician and gracing the covers of more tabloids than news magazines."
The postergirl for the terminally stupid, after appearing on every talk show known to man, blames "the media" for covering her. Wehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
In a related story, poor Anderson Cooper seems ready to claw his own eyes out:
5 comments:
Motherfucker, her spokeswoman has a worst case of nonsensical oral diarrhea than Palin.
For the lazy, here are some highlights from the CNN rush transcript, which have the advantage of not simply disappearing into space upon first hearing, as would be the preference of the speaker.
STAPLETON: Oh, there are -- there are plenty of things that have been already been offered her just today alone. But there are many ideas she has.
COOPER: Like what? TV shows?
STAPLETON: What's that?
COOPER: Like what? Like a TV show? Or, I mean, what are you talking about?
STAPLETON: OH, everything under the sun that you can possibly think of.
Needless to say examples were not forthcoming, but Meg did follow soon with this badge of illiterate blogfappers everywhere, asserting a metaphor to be, well, not a metaphor:
STAPLETON: I think she has a career in whatever she wants to do... The world is literally her oyster.
Yeah, LITERALLY.
The psychotic episode continues, with Anderson desperately seeking order from chaos and finally left to stutter over the ruins:
COOPER: How -- how, though -- I mean, you say this is leadership, but how is leading not leading?
I mean, by -- she's -- you are saying she is leading by not leading. She is quitting her job as a leader to do, what -- I don't know -- speeches, a television show, whatever she chooses to do. But, I mean, you really can't call that political leadership.
STAPLETON: Sure. Well, do you say, then, that a point guard charging down a basketball court is not leading when he passes the ball or she passes the ball? I mean, she used the analogy...
COOPER: Honestly, I know nothing about basketball. All I know about is politics.
(LAUGHTER)
STAPLETON: Well, let me tell you, when someone is driving down a basketball court, which is her analogy -- and I think it speaks well to where she is -- and that is, I can't effect change because of the political climate that's there. I'm going to pass the ball. I'm going around it. And we still all have the common hoop, but I'm going around the block, and I'm passing the ball at this time, because it is best for Alaska.
COOPER: Wait. Who is -- I'm sorry. OK. I don't know who the hoop is. I don't know who the ball is or -- or -- I'm -- I'm -- I'm confused by the analogy. But I will let it go, because I'm -- I don't know anything about sports.
After that analogy, I don't think any of us do any more, brother.
Oh, and here's a link.
Thanks for the synopsis/excerpt CV. Sounds like maybe she's an advocate of that 'hippie' Zen leadership, where you lead by following, help by hindering, injure by healing, etc, etc, as you wait for the applause of one hand clapping. Of course, it's more likely that she just doesn't know WTF she's doing, that she's getting in more legal trouble, and just wants to get out of the political rat-race so she and her (mis)handler just throw out any gorp that'll stick to the wall.
Thanks, Chris!
