In the midst of one of the most precipitous political crashes in the Mountain West, Sarah Palin made a mad dash into Boise on Friday, urging the election of a man who had plagiarized his campaign speech from Barack Obama, had been rebuked by the military for misusing the Marine uniform and had called the American territory of Puerto Rico a separate country.
And why not? Vaughn Ward, the Republican congressional candidate from Idaho, has the dubious character trifecta of the Palin brand: bone-headed, defiant and willfully ignorant. When told that Puerto Rico was not a country, he said, “I don’t care what you call it.”
On Tuesday, this Palin protégé was routed in a huge upset, despite a big early lead in the polls, a 6-to-1 fundraising edge and that Friday fly-in by the former half-term governor, who has Idaho roots.

In California, Palin has endorsed Carly Fiorina for Senate. Who cares? Well, Palin should. In the 2008 presidential campaign, Palin pledged to “stop multi-million dollar payouts and golden parachutes” to C.E.O.s who run their companies into the ground.
After having steered Hewlett-Packard into a ditch, with the stock plunging 50 percent and 20,000 real Americans forced into layoffs, Fiorina walked away with about $45 million.
Between surreal appearances from Wasilla as the caged pundit of Fox News and quick, splashy landings in the lower 48 states, Palin has shown she still has the attention span of a hummingbird on a nectar jag. She does not do basic homework. Never has. The result is a string of endorsements for people whose lives are living contradictions of their stated philosophies.

It wouldn't surprise me, the Paulbots may be the dumbest cult on earth.
Well, there's still Scientology.........
Don’t forget Charlie Crist. Guess she didn’t get that memo either...LOL.
Nobody ever said the Paulbots were the brightest bulbs around...LOL.
Yeah, there are more on the list that McCain wouldn’t touch, but you can’t discuss facts with a Paulbot, they’re too busy chanting his lines to be able to think.
Thanks!
The McCain connection is the consistent, guiding thread throughout, IMHO.
Hey! I've been thinking...wouldn't it be great if there were people somewhere who investigated stuff and then reported on what they found out for everyone who didn't have time to investigate and report on stuff. We could call them...reporters!
No...it would never work...
:-) Oh, wait, you were being sarcastic... :(
McCain wanted her to endorse Rand Paul? Nikki Haley? The guy from NY 23? Y'all are in need of some serious help.
No, I'm not. Stick with me here...Where is Nikki Haley? South Carolina? Does she have any connection with Lindsey Grahamnesty? Perhaps the "guy from NY-23" was the last endorsement she made on her own...although...she ponied up $5000 to him via SarahPAC (same as to McJuan) As for Rand Paul, his opponent was backed by the GOP establishment, how "mavericky" to endorse the other guy. And, if the Kentucky Senate seat flips to a Dem, (hopefully not) that ain't going to be looking so good for your gal...y'all.
I'll leave it up to you to think about it.
Unless you're a Paulbot.......then you'll just have to pretend.
Mr. Heath said he was careful about nudging his daughter toward the things that interest him.
“I don’t want to push the wrong button with Sarah,” he said. “Besides, she doesn’t make the decisions. Let me retract that. I’m sure she thinks them over and she has a lot of say as to yes and no.”
LOL, that may be the strangest bit of attempted proof I've ever seen.
You might want to do better than that........like, how about commenting on the names I gave. Nikki has nothing to do with Graham or McCain, Rubio has nothing to do with McCain, hell, he backed Crist. Go through the list and just try thinking for yourself instead of acting like a dumb cultist.
Not only that, in SC McCain has specifically endorsed one of Nikki Haley's opponents, Henry McMaster. There is NO WAY you can square that with McCain directing Palin's endorsements. No way.
Shhhhh......don’t tell Maggie, it might make her have to think...........
You mean instead of the political propagandists that we currently have? Bite your tongue!
pissant: “But it doesn’t make sense to use this little fag’s musings as ammo.”
blind squirrel... “Even blind squirrels find nuts on rare occasions.”
We’ve all been waiting patiently. Could you ping all of FR when you find that nut?
.... oh, it’s the New York Times ...
Nuttier than Squirrel Poop.
Austrian is a language!
McCain Team only is out for one endorsement - theirs.
(McMaster was McCain’s point man in South Carolina during the presidential primary)
Ooops. Well, what a roguey-maverericky endorsement from Mrs Palin. I still say someone is pulling her strings. (And, apparently, so does her dad.)
Have a great day!
;) Have a great weekend!
LOL!
