Sarah Palin Is Like Oprah Now

Posted on | February 2, 2010 | 41 Comments

She’s got her own magazine:

Retailing for $8.99, the 100-page glossy magazine, titled “Sarah Palin: Faith, Family, Freedom,” hit newsstands in mid-January and was jointly published by a fashion-publishing subsidiary of international marketing firm IMG and Imagine That Publishing. It will remain on sale through April 30.

The best parts of Sarah’s new magazine? Low-fat moose-meat recipes and a medical-advice column by Andrew Sullivan.

    She would do well to heed the old adage: “Muchness brings discredit”.

    I argue that Rep. Paul Ryan’s budget is great. He is one of the good Republicans. There are only about two or three last time I checked. Ryan’s budget has draconian changes and cuts to Medicare/Medicade and privatization of Social Security.

    Then I argue that becuase Bush was such a spendthrift and imposed on us that terrible Medicare perscription drug entitlement expansion–that the only thing we can do is pass the current health care reform bill and expand health care entitlements well beyond anything Bush ever did. Of course no cuts will happen to Medicare/Medicare or Social Security under that plan.

    How do you reconcile those polar opposites? If you even ask that question you must be a Right Wing Christianist bigot.

    Oh, and of course we need war crimes against Cheney, Bush, Rove, and Rumsfeld. And probably Hugh Hewitt, Charles Krauthammer, and Bill Kristol too.

    I was disappointed by the many odd lies in Sarah Palin’s magazine. I have not tried the moose recipe, as I cannot find moose meat here in D.C.

    Moose is a little gamey. Venison, in my opinion, is better but it’s very easy to overcook.

    I hope the Wardman Marriott has good food.

    The linked article specifies that this magazine “…was produced, according to its publisher, without her knowledge or participation.”

    “a medical-advice column by Andrew Sullivan”

    Unsurprisingly, he was fired after answering every query with, “More lube!”

    Wow, people profiting off of her without her permission. Just does not seem right. I recall people in line for her book signing carrying a magazine but that was back in November so there must be more than one published out there.

    Why is it that the same people continue to post on something they obviously know nothing about? The article clearly says that she had no hand in the publication of this mag. It’s a simple matter that the publisher thought money could be made on it. Oprah publishes her mag. Palin did not publish this. BFD.

    Ah, I get it now…. Because I won’t lick the fucking asshole of Little Miss “Fuckable Hockey Mom”, you won’t link to my blog entry of raising money for a Governor that might just do Michigan so good.

    You wanna play that game Stacy, fine. I can play it do. I’m removing you from the Blogroll and from the address book. You want to support a cluesless bitch who doesn’t know the first thing about running a fucking city, Much less a State, Much less the federal Government and someone who LIED about her daughter, and possibly her own child. FINE!

    But don’t looking for any linkage out of me sir. I’m done with ya. Just go back to fucking Calhoun or better yet Alabama and put on your damned white sheet and be done with it.

    Idiot…

    […] because I figured that he was just a prick about me not liking Palin. Especially after reading this posting here. Especially, after I had written this posting here. I still feel the same way, Palin endorsed a guy […]

    I believe Michigan in the early ’70s birthed the original ‘teach-ins’ or rather the art of community-organized thievery.

    I find Patrick’s lecture on leadership remarkably humorous considering the fact that Michiganders looted, pillage and plundered themselves into their own wreck and ruin.

    If you follow Patrick’s trackback from 0310 hours this morning, you will see that he attempts an apology.

    I just left him the following comment:

    Knowing the malicious calumnies that Stacy McCain has been subjected to, you wrote:…put on your damned white sheet and be done with it.

    That, sir, is unforgiveable.

    There are just some things that cannot be forgiven.

    I concur. First off getting bent out of shape because someone won’t link back to you is one thing, a silly thing but hey. Secondly, hurling insinuations of Klan membership ala Charles Johnson because your feelings are hurt is just base. Get a grip dude.

    1.Weichselbaum rejects Sarah Palin’s invitation to go Moose hunting. The former Alaska governor, Sarah Palin invited Eric Weichselbaum on a moose hunting expedition in Iliamna, Alaska, but Weichselbaum, turned down the invite. “Killing animals for sport is not for me,” Weichselbaum said. While he respectfully declined the invite, Weichselbaum told Palin that he’d be glad to take part in a helicopter tour of Alaska, as long as shotguns are not involved.
