Sarah Palin turns Obama's 'Win the future' into 'WTF'
Asked what she would do differently to lower the unemployment level, Palin did not offer any specific proposals, but insisted that the president's plan was wrong and said Obama had failed to realize the country was already buried under crippling debt. Palin also called for the elimination of National Public Radio and the National Endowment for the Arts, calling them "fluffery."
Palin was also asked to react to Rep. Michele Bachmann's (R-Minn.) tea party response to the president's State of the Union, in light of Rep. Paul Ryan's (R-Wisc.) formal Republican response. "I love it when anybody goes rogue for the right reasons," said Palin, making a reference to the title of her best-selling book.
"I've been accused of dividing within that establishment of the Republican Party too for some years now," she continued, "and I don't see it as division. This is one thing that I love about the Republican Party -- we believe in competition even within our own party, you know, and we don't have the fighting instincts of a bunch of sheep like I think a lot of Democrats do."

The operative clause in the Palin comment is that “Palin did not offer any specific proposals.” This is, of course, nothing new. Palin and her Clones either offer no solutions or they offer solutions so inappropriate that they have no grounding in reality. Unless it benefits the wealthy and costs the once-middle class, it has no appeal to the teavangelists.
Palin is foolishly unmasking her true nature. It is surfacing in the petty little comments that she makes with the intent of keeping her name in exposure by the very media she claims to despise. The lack of education that has always been evident to those who look past her clothing, makeup, and pageant personae, is causing her to be caught in an endless loop of verbal fuck-ups that she is not going to be able to escape.
The cure for Palin, Bachman, Huckabee, and other poorly educated demagogue\candidates is available but the GOPers who have used them to reel in the even more poorly educated and the religious fanatics who are hoping for theocracy need to stand their ground and force them into the limelight. None of them can stand well in a real debate – one not controlled by Fox, one not using pre-loaded, pre-approved questions. It is time for the GOP to demand that Palin and clones leave the world of Facebook and twitter for the big leagues. If they can’t stand the heat of a real interview, a genuine panel discussion, and perhaps a trip onto Bill Maher’s panel, they can’t stand the heat of a real campaign. And they certainly can’t stand the stress of the job they all claim to be qualified to hold.
It’s time for the GOP to be truly transparent in its dealings with the American public. They need to put these idiots and the other unqualified into the spotlights and make them deal with the real media. If Palin can’t recall what books or newspapers she reads, it isn’t the media’s fault that she comes off like a fool. If she can’t understand that her actions have consequences that may result in harm to real politicians, then it is her fault, not Giffords or the others who paid the price for her call to violence. If her family is always on stage, she set it up that way from the first encounter and used them all as props until it began to backfire.
It’s time to open the gates to the asylum and let the reporters in.
And by the way, Ms. Palin, that acronym can also be used for "Way Too Fat!"
