I'M SPEAKING DIRECTLY TO ALASKA'S BRAIN

[neigedens]

All this "Sarah Palin resigning to save the children" shit is MAKING MY FUCKING WEEKEND. I forgot how amazingly surreal just listening to this woman speak is. It's like this one time I downloaded the wrong version of a telenovela and the dub was in Portuguese instead of Spanish, which I didn't figure out until about five confused minutes in. Sarah

Have there been any new developments since this story first broke? Because I'm still loling over that, but I need to know if there are FURTHER lolz to be had.

I haven't seen anything else, other than Palin's spokeswoman confusing the fuck out of Anderson Cooper (were you just thinking that her resignation speech didn't give you enough meaningless basketball analogies? DO NOT WORRY, THE SPOKESWOMAN HAS YOU COVERED):

But as for the ~juicy scandal~ this is all precipitating, I still have no idea! Isn't everyone saying that she's quitting because basically embezzled the entire city of Wasilla or something? My favorite theory is that she was having an affair with Governor Sandford (lol), although if it turns out to be that she quit because she's an easily butthurt nitwit, I'll still be pretty happy with that. OH SARAH.

What the hell has happened to the Republicans? Have they all gone simultaneously mad(der)?

I think so! Some of them have gone funny-crazy (Palin comes to mind, and she's especially humorous now that it's unlikely she'll ever hold public office again so we're probably safe from her) but sadly most of them have gone scary-crazy, like Glenn Beck and the rest of the culture war crowd, and those guys provide significantly fewer lolz, sadly, because they are crazy and afraid OMG THE BLACKS AND POORS AND MUSLIMS WILL TAKE ALL OUR MONEYZ AND KILL US.

(And then there's tenaciously annoying-crazy, like my erstwhile senator Norm Coleman. Norm Coleman is like the political tick that will not die on the dog that is the state of Minnesota.)
