Smith clearly does not think that Taddeo is particularly qualified, and describes her overinflated sense of self thusly:
God knows why. The Sarah Palin Syndrome, perhaps?
After Sen. John McCain and Sarah Palin lost the 2008 presidential race, Palin quit the governor's job in Alaska, wrote a book, and has been touring America whipping up her conservative fan base ever since. Those are the folks she listens to -- the only ones -- the cheering throngs who adore her. Now she has a website exploring her presidential prospects for 2016. (I would disagree with the reporter here to suggest that the
That's the gist of the Sarah Palin Syndrome: Palin came to believe her own hype from 2008 and fell in love with herself.
Okay now THAT is certainly true.
Now I don't know really anything about Annette Taddeo, and certainly not her qualifications to run for office, so I was really drawn to this story due to its use of Sarah Palin as a yardstick for somebody's overinflated ego and sense of entitlement.
We have all seen Sarah Palin used time and time again to measure a person's intelligence, their commitment to their job, their qualifications, and their seriousness as a potential politician.
In every case, except a few rare occurrences on uber Right Wing news outlets, the Palin comparison is used to indicate a negative in the person, not a positive.
If one were to be compared to Sarah Palin, in almost all circumstances, it would be cause for serious concern as it is almost certainly a slam against your character for one reason or another.
So that is the true legacy of Sarah Palin. She is the very definition of character flaws, poor judgement, and a lack of intelligence.
Yeah, that works for me.
Was Sarah Palin auditioning for the 'Gong Show'?
ReplyDeleteWith those boobs, she wouldn't need a mallet to bang the gong.

What I Learned From An Entire Day Watching The Sarah Palin Channel
ReplyDeletehttp://www.complex.com/pop-culture/2014/09/what-i-learned-from-an-entire-day-watching-the-sarah-palin-channel/palin-knows-why-the-media-is-so-liberal
I've got an idea which is I'm thinking is the same as anonymous 6:55 had. We could submit a definition for Sarah Palin Syndrome to the Urban Dictionary. Dan Savage famously did this to Frothy Mix (Rick Santorum) http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2010/08/rick-santorum-google-problem-dan-savage
ReplyDeleteWe could have a contest of sorts submitting definitions to Gryphen to nail down the best to send on the Urban Dictionary. What a XMAS present for Sarah...
They already have some entries for Pullin' a Palin!
Deletewww.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Pullin'+a+Palin
I suspect the self love goes back to infancy. It's not something 'recent'.
ReplyDeleteNarcissistic behavior is often the result of an early childhood trauma as a way for the personality to 'survive' that trauma. In Sarah's case, the rampant incest that corroded that entire family at the hands of Creepy Chucky Sr. is most likely to blame. The simmering rage that Sarah exhibits, the sexual innuendo she resorts to to 'castrate' men verbally, the pre-teen flaunting of her sexuality, her inappropriate dress and trashy antics all point to her reaction to the horrors her father visited upon her and her sisters in those early years. It's common knowledge in the Valley.
DeleteBeing that her father also had a close teacher friend that was sent to jail for molesting young girls the poor Palin girls may have been assaulted by him as well. Daddy Chuck sure went to extraordinary lengths to try to distract people from the charges knowing full well that his friend has molested over a dozen young girls.
DeleteCase in point, Dick Morris saying Joni Ernst is "Sarah Palin, but with much, much more gray matter." Faint praise if I've ever heard it, and he used to be on Palin's bandwagon back in '08.
ReplyDeleteYou just described a human. he's far more intelligent than everyone here. That is certain. All you people do is slander
ReplyDeleteAgain, you'd love nothing more than for us to turn our heads, wouldn't you, 10:02 AM? Well, toots, it's not going to happen.
Delete@10:02 You show your stupidity when you proclaim that someone is smarter than an entire group of people whom you don't know. You are at this blog more than all of us, so how obsessed are you with Gryphen? He could care less about your infantile comments. Gryphen Allows you to post here because he feels sorry for you.
DeleteSomeone who can't bother to learn the difference between slander and libel, despite being told repeatedly, has no credibility when speaking of others' intelligence.
Delete2:16 If that person also thinks their puny attempts to defend Palin will be enough to sway opinions of millions of people who have seen and heard the Palin diatribes and behavior, they are an entirely new definition of naive, foolish and simple. By the simp's definition, Palin is guilty of 'slander' every time she opens that Koch-paid mean mouth and berates and accuses the President of the very things she does and has done for six years. Palin has not one ounce of shame for her deeds and is lacking in nearly every good human quality one could list. She is not of normal intelligence, decency or reasoning while priding herself on those traits that would embarrass a reasonable, sane human being.
DeleteOh nos! Somebody hurt the widdle trollie's feelings. You big bad bullies! Stop it! Stop it right now!
DeleteHey, Bristol and Willow is that your Mom? Do you both aspire to be just like her? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
ReplyDeleteI'm so thankful my mom died 6 weeks before this bimbo came on the scene. She would have been mortified.
DeleteMine too. She and my grandmother held degrees from Wellesley and would have been so sad to see such ignorance on full display. They knew what women had endured to become educated in this country and Sarah Palin would have only depressed them.
Delete"So that is the true legacy of Sarah Palin. She is the very definition of character flaws, poor judgement, a lack of intelligence, AND GROSSLY DYSFUNCTIONAL PARENTING."
ReplyDeleteThere, I fixed it for you.
Sarah remembers when those photos of her were taken, she was so proud to think that a lot of men kept offering her money! She thought it was generous of them to offer money to SarahPac although some cheap skates were only willing to give her 10 bucks, Todd being the pimp that he is knew better but didn't tell her the real reason for these guys sudden generosity.
ReplyDeleteDid anybody see the picture of Sarah Palin at the website below? Her skin looks as thick and as old as a used up washed out catcher's mitt left out in the rain.

ReplyDeletePhoto Caption: Hooker invades Rockefeller Plaza.
ReplyDeleteThis is truly one of the most disgusting/ridiculous pictures I have ever seen of Palin. I have seen pictures of her where she was able to boast the developed chest of a skinny 12-year old lad - then she looks like this? In hooker heels no less? Does she have no comprehension of the image she portrays?
ReplyDeletePat Padrnos
Every time this site shows that pic of Palin, I think of Paulette's failed attempt at doing the "bend and snap" in the movie Legally Blond.
ReplyDeleteI think a real clinical diagnosis of Sarah Palin Syndrome is the Dunning-Kruger effect:
ReplyDeleteDunning-Kruger Effect is defined as "a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than is accurate. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability to recognize their [own] ineptitude."

I have asked this before and will ask it again, where was the media back in 2008?
ReplyDeleteHas it really taken them 6 years to figure out Palin is an unqualified, mentally ill person? Was it because they were so busy translating her word salad into English they over looked the fact that she is an IDIOT?
Many thanks to the media, we could have gotten rid of that cancer a long time ago.
