Conservative of the Year: Sarah Palin
Human Events, that wingnuttiest of magazines, has named Sarah Palin “Conservative of the Year.” In a year where the Republicans have brought themselves failed candidates and losses in the House and Senate, where they have brought us economic calamity on a global scale, this award seems oddly appropriate.
Those numbnuts over at Human Events have given the big award to Sarah Palin. I suppose it was these peabrains who made the decision, led at least in part by Ann Coulter. But maybe the decision to name Sarah Palin “Comservative of the Year” is a bit appropriate. After all, this is the year conservatives lost the White house, lost seats in both the house and the Senate, and also the year conservative policies came home to roost with the biggest economic crisis since the great depression. Conservatives have tasted disaster this year, and now they’ve got a nitwit for “Conservative of the Year.”
Oh, this is rich. It is so ironic is ceases to be funny. Ann Coulter wrote the column giving Palin the honor of “Conservative of the Year.” (Why would anyone want to be honored by skeletor?) The column is the usual mean-spirited drivel, and I don’t suggest you read it. And Editor John Gizzi interviewed Palin about being named “Conservative of the Year.” It is the kindest of interviews, where Palin shows her desire for pork and turns on John McCain. What a beauty she is — Coulter certainly thinks Palin is a looker, that’s for sure.
I’m not going to provide any excerpts from the articles on Human Events extolling Sarah Palin’s virtues. I will merely note that this is the strongest indication that the conservative movement and the Republicans are in deep, deep trouble, both ideologically and electorally. If they scrounged high and low and can only find Sarah Palin to honor as “Conservative of the Year,” a woman who killed their chances at the Presidency, who has a pregnant daughter by the son of a drug dealer, then they are truly sunk for a long, long time.
A salute, then, to Sarah Palin. May she keep Tina Fey in employment for years and years.
I’d posit that this woman has a lot more problems than an unwed pregnant daughter.
When Alaska established the state budget it was based on, I believe, around $75/bbl for oil. Since that price is now hovering around $40/bbl it appears that Gov. Sarah and the Republican led legislature face some serious retrenchment.
Since the party of old white guys has been driven into regional status, I suppose they’ll be grasping at whatever straws are available.
And, btw, where is that baby?
I was wondering about the baby today as well.
Palin is a looker. She is very pretty.
But we weren’t electing the freaking head cheerleader here and the election wasn’t “Am I hot or not”. Being pretty doesn’t make you a good leader or a good candidate to be a leader. Sarah Palin was and is neither. So Mann Coulter can give her all the awards she wants - she’s still a vapid pool of corruption.
“Conservative of the Year”? More like Last Conservative Standing.
“Hillary Watch, another exclusive service, keeps you fully informed of the ongoing schemes, intrigues and Clintonian machinations hatched in the name of the woman (and loving hubby) who want to return to the White House in 2008.”
Um…someone might want to tell the wingnuts over at Humane Events For Rabid Right Wingers that Hillary Clinton is back in the White House as of 20 Jan 09. Just not in the job she originally wanted.
