RSN: The Princess (Sarah Palin) in Excelsis, CIA Investigates Itself for Spying on Senate, Brains Lost in Mail, et al

Charles Pierce nailed the Air Head Palin performance!
While her performances are at times amusing, it's time for the Freak Show to end.

When will Republicans of ANY leaning find reputable candidates?


A friend bailed on the speech, making the very plausible case that Palin is simply another political celebrity freakshow, like Donald Trump. I can see the point there but, with Palin, and watching the hysterical reception her puerile screed received, there is something more serious going on. She is the living representation of the infantilization of American politics, a poisonous Grimm Sister telling toxic fairy tales to audiences drunk on fear, and hate and nonsense. She respects no standards but her own. She is in perpetual tantrum, railing against her betters, which is practically everyone, and volunteering for the job of avatar to the country's reckless vandal of a political Id. It was the address of a malignant child delivered to an audience of malignant children. If you applauded, you're an idiot and I feel sorry for you.
