Palin’s star has crashed and burned (Again? LOL)
The Voice ^ | May 17, 2013 | Matthew Fahr, Voice Columnist

It is hard to admit that one of the most cartoonish and self-aggrandizing figures in recent political memory actually could have been a contender at one time, but I am now willing to cede that point.

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin actually could have been, at the very least, a respected political figure over the course of the last decade, but she has squandered any capital or potential she may have had by being a rudderless buffoon.

The only reason this comes to light again is because Palin is polling ahead of two other candidates for a potential open Senate seat in 2014.

Mind you this was a sample of 379 Alaska Republicans taken during the first week of this month, but the prospect of Palin being a member of the Senate for six years is enough to make one consider a move to Nova Scotia.

At one time Palin was a somewhat savvy, fairly competent Governor of Alaska. What made her stand out and got her on the political map was facing down oil and natural gas conglomerates in her home state and beating them.

In Alaska, beating that corporate duo is one step short of taking control of a city back from the mob. Oil taxes supply almost 90 percent of the general revenue in the state, so you know oil companies have what can conservatively be called a passing interest in how government is run.

The governor, who would soon become more famous for being geographically challenged and for her looks, somehow passed a tax increase on oil revenue and while other states floundered, Alaska built up a $12 billion surplus.

But 18 months before the end of her first term and only nine months after she helped torpedo John McCain’s Presidential aspirations....

I just can’t believe after all this time...all the effort we all put into this...it’s over. One article from an unknown lib and ...OVER!!!!!

Who knew it could happen so fast? I mean, I woke up this morning and Palin was still doing what she did to keep libs and GOP traitors screaming and suddenly with no warning, it’s over. OVER!!!!

I just don’t know if I can go on. Well, I AM a cultist so I suppose it’s time to drink the kool aid...

Good bye cruel world....

Her star has crashed, bored through the center of the earth, and emerged from the other side where it took out a herd of elephants, rhinos, and jackasses.

I have found that the use of the word "buffoon" is almost completely in the liberal domain.

Very rarely do you hear conservatives use it.

This was a note put on my ex-boss's car in Boston's South End when they saw a bumper sticker on his car back in 2004 and they broke both of his windshield wipers off:

I don’t do twitter or Facebook, so perhaps it is different on there. The only time I ever see it is in liberal discourse. It seems to be a favorite pejorative term of the leftists.

But, could be just me.

Homosexual males have a white hot hatred for Sarah Palin.
You see it all over , particularly on the internet.
She’s a confident,secure,feminine,powerful, attractive woman and the ultimate “breeder”.
She puckers their sphincters to a degree no woman in public life does.

OH YOU THINK MY PAIN IS FUNNY????

Oh HA Ha...Well you won’t think it’s so all fired hilarious when you go to Palin’s facebook page and it just isn’t there anymore. Or when she isn’t on twitter anymore. Or all the papers and TV shows stop breathlessly reporting everytime she speaks...because now she is gone Onyx. GONE!!!

Her star has fallen and she is GONE!!!

NEVER to be seen or heard from again.

I’m glad you still have this fantasy that it doesn’t matter and you probably think she’s still here. But you are W-R-O-N-G.

She is GONE!!!

Homo lib boy has decreed it so it is so.

I haZ such a sad....

after seeing that poof, I am invoking the FR "rules" clause regarding any thread mentioning the Guv.

Fair and balanced and all that.
