This Fatal Attraction Has Boiled Her Own Bunny (Best MSM Palin Derangement Syndrome Headline)
The Globe and Mail ^ | Sunday, July 5, 2009 | Judith Timson

Posted on 07/05/2009 6:34:19 PM PDT by kristinn

As I was watching Sarah Palin these past weeks, even before her surprise announcement that she was stepping down as Governor of Alaska – to do what, exactly? – something kept nagging at me. What did she remind me of? Finally I figured it out: She's the Fatal Attraction of the Republican party.

In the movie, Glenn Close plays an attractive and seductive woman with whom the married Michael Douglas character has a vigorous fling, never dreaming she is so loopy she will end up stalking him and his family. In one horrifying scene, Ms. Close's character boils the family bunny.

As Republican presidential candidate John McCain's vice-presidential nominee and political quickie, Ms. Palin burst almost completely unknown onto the U.S. political scene, and quickly became the longed-for hope of the Republican party. But she had not been vetted or prepared thoroughly, and despite her obvious shrewdness, charm and talent, Ms. Palin faltered badly on the campaign trail, becoming a liability for Mr. McCain as she fought off charges about her ethical behaviour as a governor, mangled her words and famously revealed her astonishing ignorance of foreign issues.

SNIP

Nope. Instead she stalked the scene, flailing away at her critics, at one point carrying on an increasingly non-sensical war of words with Late Show host David Letterman about a tasteless reference to her daughter, and even boasting she could beat U.S. President Barack Obama in a long-distance run.

SNIP

Now, with an abrupt decision to abandon ship that shocked many Republican insiders, and a bizarre, semi-coherent resignation speech mangled in syntax and analogy (“only dead fish go with the flow,” she said mystifyingly at one point), I'm wondering whether Sarah Palin has boiled her own bunny.

Wow. Their hate knows no bounds. They have now reached asburdity.

C’mon, comparing Sarah Palin to ‘Fatal Attraction’, they’ve jumped off the deep end.

If I had to guess who wrote this I would have said Maureen Dowdy. What with the movie references and all.

In the same breath that they try so hard to tear her down, they’ll dismiss her as an irrelevant Right-Wing moonbat.

It’s getting positively hilarious at this point.

At least Sarah is beautiful enough to star in a movie. And a whole lot smarter and capable than any of the Hollywood and journalistic Dims.

The best thing about a Palin presence in the public arena has been that her presence clarifies the dividing lines between the oligarchy and normality.

From this column........

“.......it was revealed that her teenage daughter had become pregnant as Mom, a social conservative, preached abstinence and no formal sex education.”

Straight from Sarah........

“....I’m pro-contraception, and I think kids who may not hear about it at home should hear about it in other avenues. So I am not anti-contraception.”

(KTOO radio debate, Aug 2006)

From me........”Typical journalism.”

They hate her because she's not an academia elite, not a lawyer, not from the precious East Coast, didn't abort her Down's baby, and has a smokin' body after a pile of kids.

And she's got a hot husband.

Their reaction to her is less about her politics and more about the choices she's made in life.

"Only dead fish go with the flow,” she said mystifyingly at one point

How's that mystifying? Let's see, Alaska fish... salmon... swimming upstream. Dead ones floating with the stream. How hard is that to figure out? I retract that question. I forgot that we're dealing with brain dead propagandists.

The very worst, most insanely hateful anti-Palin pieces seem to be from, not to put too fine a point on it, barren women.

I really think Sarah’s fecundity drives them into fits of apoplectic lunacy as much as her political views do.

The Sarah Palin phenomenon makes for a captivating psychological study-—of the people who hate her.

Wow!! Sarah Palin really has the MSM alarmed. It’s hard to understand how these people bash her, especially women in the MSM. It appears their jealous of her looks. Liz Trotta was on fox this AM and she even bashed Sarah, saying she was uneducated, hasn’t accomplished anything and was responsible for the Gop loass last year.Nothing but lies. Fox, if you notice, is gravatating more and more to the left.

Unbelievable.

Oh well, let them all continue to condemn themselves with what they spew against Sarah.

Like others who posted nearby, I had no problem whatsoever understanding Sarah’s comment that “only dead fish go with the flow.” If this poor creature found that “mystifying” and considers herself a writer...well, what can you say? She must be another one of those “going with the flow.”

Ah so sad. The demise of a once fine Canadian newspaper. Always reliable for some scholarly work. True, I must confess I have not bought a copy for years. Perhaps I should. After all, Canada's main conservative newspaper was/is the National Post. Conrad Black gave it up and the respected Liberal Asper family bought it. I notice the creeping lefty aspic of it every week. Including a nasty editorial about Sarah, plus a David Frum and his "Damaged Goods" header.

Back to the Globe and Mail. I will however give the trusty little right wing blogs naming of the Globe and Mail.

The Grope and Flail.
The Groan and Wail.

Bye bye Canadian Press. Hello the Internet.

I happened to catch a few lib female talking heads over the weekend, all commenting that Sarah Palin was not treated any worse than any other politician and if she couldn’t take it, she shouldn’t be involved with politics. If so, I expect to be hearing Sasha and Malia jokes very soon.../sarc
