(See what I did there? I made a funny with “Palin” and “insanity.” Where’s my NYT column?)

But seriously:

the plurality of GOP voters (43%) say their party has been too moderate over the past eight years, and 55% think it should become more like Alaska Governor Sarah Palin in the future…

Bring it. Please, please, please bring it.

I wholeheartedly support this idea.

As I’ve said before (here and here), the quickest way to ensure a permanent Democratic majority is for the GOP to anoint a complete fucking sack of hammers like Palin as their champion.

Also…”too moderate?” Are you kidding me? How fucking far to the right do you have to be to think the George W. Bush administration is “too moderate?”

I especially liked the entries on

Keith Olbermann (even though I like him)

Joe Scarborough (“has a decent shot at being named the world’s largest toddler by Guinness”)

Jeremiah Wright (“Seriously, you don’t think the U.S. government could do a better job than AIDS?  AIDS takes years to kill, spreads relatively slowly, and kills white people all the time.”)

Ben Stein (“Stein’s brand of conservatism is as credible as a memoir on Oprah’s reading list.”)

Stephenie Meyer (“currently draining IQ points from Western Civilization”)

Antonin Scalia (“the so-called Constitutional Originalist puts the framers in the awkward position of saying that it’s wrong to beat up a convicted criminal, but it’s just dandy to kick the shit out of him before he is even charged”)

Michelle Malkin (“It’s a remarkable achievement in unconscious projection that the author of a book called Unhinged could lose her fucking marbles over a patterned scarf in a donut ad“)

Joe the Plumber (“…indeed symbolizes the true American dream—to become undeservedly rich and famous through a dizzyingly improbable stroke of luck”)

John Edwards (“But hey, it’s not so bad, because, as Edwards stressed, his wife’s cancer was in remission when he began the affair. Classy guy.”)

Rush Limbaugh (“It’s this creepily worshipful, breathtakingly infantile abdication of intellect to a blatantly dishonest hypocrite that makes Limbaugh’s audience so goddamn sad.”)

David Addington (“thinks the president is above the law in times of war, which is awful convenient if you declare an endless war on a global battlefield.”)

and finally, Sarah Palin (“Palin’s unending emissions of baffling, evasive incoherence should have disqualified her for any position that involved a desk, let alone placing her one erratic heartbeat from the presidency…In the end, Palin had the beneficial effect of splitting her party between her admirers and people who can read.”)

Read more, it’s really worth your time.

The uber-conservative Human Events Magazine has named Sarah Palin its “Conservative of the Year,” and I couldn’t agree more. Palin exemplifies the vacuous philosophy of Republican politics. Her strident anti-intellectualism, blind faith, and personal corruption are the hallmarks of her Party and stand as testimony to her worthiness for this honor.

Human Events got Ann “The Man” Coulter to write this paean to Palin, and she starts out thusly:

Palin was chosen because McCain…needed a conservative on the ticket, but he had no idea that picking her would send the left into a tailspin of wanton despair.

Not really sure what Coulter is getting at here. Like most of “the left,” my immediate reaction to the Palin pick for VP was “…who?”

Despair? Hardly.

Sure, we were a little aghast at her abhorrent politics, strident ignorance, and arrogant behavior vis-a-vis the ethics investigations against her. But as we learned more and more about Miss Moose-olini, Half-baked Alaska, Governor Avon Lady, many of us nearly stood up and cheered McCain for his selection.

Now let me say for the record that I never really thought McCain had a chance against Obama. But choosing Palin as his running mate was, in my opinion, the final nail in the coffin for his campaign (one of many, if you wanna be a stickler.) There was NO WAY a majority of American voters were gonna let that idiot into the Vice Presidency.

If I wasn’t an atheist, I would be praying for Palin to run in 2012. Could you imagine You Betcha McWinker against an incumbent Obama? The debates alone would be comedy gold!

So please Republicans, by all means, shower her with honors. Hoist her up as your champion. Make her your candidate in 2012. And when she loses, run her again in 2016. I’ll get down on my knees and beg if it’ll help. Such a Palin-centric strategy is guaranteed to secure a Democratic White House for the next decade or more. Maybe even the coveted “filibuster-proof majority” in the Senate.

So, yes.

More Palin, please.

News Corpse » Sarah Palin: Conservative Of The Year

Gov. Palin, to some extent, pushed the party more to the right, and I think she had something of a polarizing effect when she talked about how small town values are good. Well, most of us don’t live in small towns. And I was raised in the South Bronx, and there’s nothing wrong with my value system from the South Bronx.

I would LOVE to see the Republican Party try to run Sarah Palin in 2012 against an incumbent Obama. The debates would be fucking priceless.

Two words: EPIC FAIL.

Results for Guilford County, where Sarah Palin made her remarks about “real Americans” in “pro-America parts of the country”:

Obama/Biden 58.75%
McCain/Palin 40.44%

The RNC spent more on clothes in two months for Palin than the average American household spends in 80 years. (Roughly $150,000.)

But Obama’s elitist and out of touch…

Sarah Palin is the governor of a state that practices collective ownership of oil and other natural resources, and equally distributes the state’s cut of the revenues to every citizen.

Socialism!
