GQ Magazine is telling a tale of two leaders. On the one side you have Barack Obama, champion of the left, leader of the mainstream media; GQ's Leader of the Year. On the other side you have Sarah Palin, pariah of the right, dangerous and poisonous to the American way according to an interview in the very same publication.
Think I'm kidding? I couldn't make this garbage up.
I'm not sure what accomplishments helped the Conde Naste publication come up with these dubious distinctions. Perhaps it is the tripling of the nation's deficit in 10 short months, bungling the swine flu vaccine, overseeing an economy with record double digit unemployment or pitting one American against the other with unpopular proposals such as socializing health care that made them annoint President Obama. Whatever it is, none of that is apparently as terrible as Sarah Palin who the author describes as showing back up on the scene despite having been "driven her back into her hole" after last year's election.
Sarah Palin is like the mole in that addictively frustrating, ultimately futile carnival game whack-a-mole. Just when we think we've driven her back into her hole, out pops the side-swept updo and rimless Kazuo Kawasaki eyeglasses from another burrow. Katie Couric plays her the fool; she discovers Twitter. The hard right champions her as the frontrunner for 2012; she leaves office. Lawsuits threaten to sack her; she comes up with death panels.
This is just the warm up. The real Palin Derangement syndrome starts in an interview the magazine conducted with with "Sarah Palin Going Rogue, An American Nightmare" authors Betsy Reed and Richard Kim from The Nation.
GQ: Sarah Palin isn't in government anymore. Why does she continue to hold such fascination for all of us?
Betsy Reed: Sarah Palin is a microcosm of a certain part of America. She's very good at pressing all the hot buttons—aggrieved Christianity, patriotism, certain people's fears and anxieties. It's important to look at what those hot buttons are, that way you can start to understand the movement that she represents.
Richard Kim: The essays try to explain her appeal and contextualize her in a larger political movement—one that is very dangerous, and that we're very opposed to.
GQ: I'd rather just ignore her, maybe then she'll go away.
RK: I don't think you can ignore her. How do you ignore someone who routinely finishes at the top of Republican Party polls for the 2012 nomination? How do you ignore someone who manages in a month to actually shift opinion against the public option by creating this whole death panel hysteria? How do you ignore someone who has a book that is number one on the Amazon bestseller list, with 1.5 million copies in print, before it's even out?BR: Sarah Palin is a double-edged phenomenon from progressives' standpoint. She may be catastrophic to her party, but she also has such a poisonous effect on the whole political culture. Just because they're not going to win elections doesn't mean they're not going to impact the ability of Obama to govern.
That is the crux of it really. Sarah Palin, that microcosm of a "certain part of America" is impacting the ability of Barak Obama to implement his agenda. Her and others like her have come out of their holes to stop Mr. unstoppable.This makes them mad. Won't they just go away?
Let's just ignore the fact that none of this explains why a fillibuster proof Democratic majority in Congress and a Democrat President can't pass their agenda. But that's fine; we'll let them have their dementia. This is just another in a long list of excuses from the nation's professional excuse makers.
But wait, what would Palin Derangement Syndrome be without lumping her in with Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck?
Has the Republican party sown the seeds of its own demise with Palin?
BR: They're freaked out, as well they should be. They have a real problem on their hands. They thought they were going to be able to groom and manage her.
RK: What's lacking with her is a strategy for how this will actually turn into a winning electoral platform for them. Whatever you want to say about Reagan, at least he had [a winning platform], and it actually worked for an electoral coalition for a while. I put her more with Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck. I look at what they're doing, and it doesn't seem that there's anything more to it than simply torpedoing democracy, rather than trying to exert control and influence of it through democratic means.
Don't you love it when the smart guys on the left tell conservatives what is wrong with their party?
And look at their logic. Here we have an article in this month's GQ with the authors nashing their teeth over Barack Obama's inability to govern, all because of Sarah Palin. Yet next month the magazine is telling us that Barack Obama is GQ's Leader of the Year! That about sums it up in a nutshell.
At the end of the day you would be better off getting a labotomy than trying to make sense of this twisted logic. For me it's just another day, another breakdown. We shouldn't expect anything less because it can't really get much lower.

Thu, 11/19/2009 - 23:15 ET by AgentAmericanI bought my last copy of GQ five years ago. For the first few pages I thought I was reading a women's magazine. All this punk (the editor) did was slam Bush and pimped Michael Moore's 9/11 crap movie using Josie Moran, a model that was brain washed into believing this horsesh*t. I gladly burned the issue right afterwards.

I know, I am out of work and not collecting unemployment so I know I dropped through the cracks months ago regarding the jobs ''counting'' (which this administration is now world famous for) and I'm surely not the only one.

Thu, 11/19/2009 - 23:25 ET by Patrick MichaelOkay, I will admit it I am a Sarah Palin fan, actually a big Sarah Palin fan. I was lucky and two of my daughters went to the book signing last night (I had a hospitial appointment so I could not go) and got me signed copies of her book. I write for a blog called "Pounding the Podium" (not the greatest name I know - but you can find it at podium.foablogs.com) and some time back I promised myself to write two pro-Sarah Palin articles for every one negative that I find. I am wearing myself out!!! Not only is GQ praying for government subsidy (along with Newsweek and Time) but Huffington Post still harbors hope that they will be added to the White House Press Pool (honest, look it up). It is amazing how much our media hates patriots.

One blogger has noted that Barry has had multiple moles removed from his face since college. I wonder why he kept that one.

Bay Area not maverick enough to read Palin book
Steve Rubenstein, Special to The Chronicle
Thursday, November 19, 2009
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It might as well have cooties. Hardly anyone wants to touch the thing, or even get close to it.
The
new autobiography by moose hunter and failed vice presidential
candidate Sarah Palin is harder to find in the Bay Area than a hockey
mom. Some bookstores figure it's one of those grit-your-teeth First
Amendment deals that principled booksellers must put up with from time
to time.
But many nonchain bookstores won't handle it.
"Our
customers are thinking people," said Nathan Embretson, a bookseller at
Pendragon Books in Oakland. "They're not into reading drivel."
There's not a single copy on the shelf. Embretson said no one has asked for it except for one guy, who was kidding.
"He
said he wanted to look at it but he also said he didn't really want to
read it," Embretson said. "Anyway, he certainly didn't want to buy it.
I think he regarded looking at it as a kind of punishment."

San Francisco facing $500 million deficit
Rachel Gordon, Chronicle Staff Writer
Thursday, November 19, 2009
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The
mayor's budget chief is expected to announce today that the projected
deficit for the next fiscal year teeters near $500 million - a more
ominous outlook than had been revealed Monday.
Greg Wagner,
Mayor Gavin Newsom's budget director, would not provide an exact amount
during testimony Wednesday before the Board of Supervisors' Budget and
Finance Committee, saying the numbers were still being crunched.
"We're
looking at something well north of $400 million," is all he would offer
in his public testimony. He later confirmed, however, that he told
Supervisor John Avalos, chairman of the budget committee, that the
amount was in the $500 million range.
This means the city faces
another year of dire financial straits that - barring an unforeseen
economic turnaround - will lead to more service cuts and higher costs
for city residents, businesses and visitors.
"We're going to be
walking on thin ice with the budget," predicted Supervisor Ross
Mirkarimi, who serves on the budget committee. ..........(more)

"Our customers are thinking people," my backside. Every lib I've ever met (including myself in my woefully ignorant youth) can't think for themselves at all--they can only parrot campaign brochures and talking points. Yet they believe themselves to be the Great Enlightened. Hilarious to watch--as long as they don't have positions of power.

Photoshop!!!
Thu, 11/19/2009 - 23:37 ET by slickwillie2001Good Lord folks, that cover picture of GQ has been enormously photoshopped. They fixed his teeth, his lips, his ears, his hairline, etc. Look at the folds on his face, the naso-labial fold from the nose to the lips. Look at the wrinkles at the outside corners of his eyes.
It almost looks like they cut a picture of him in half and flipped that half over to ensure it was perfectly symmetrical. They didn't go that far, but they went to great lengths to make him as close to perfect as possible, except for the mole that everyone knows about.
That said, no one's face (ie teeth, brows, nose, ears, etc.) is perfectly symmetric. Very few people have teeth where the center of the top two incisors falls perfectly in the center of the nose. (Look at a picture of Tom Cruise sometime; his is way, way off.)
Some of you with blogs, get a real picture of him and put it side-by-side with this picture. You'll see the obvious.
Compare this to what the dirtbags at Atlantic did to McCain last October.

Thu, 11/19/2009 - 23:38 ET by fitzfongYeah, but that distinction is hollow since he didn't win "Sexiest Man Alive".

Leftist Palin Bashing
Fri, 11/20/2009 - 02:45 ET by DoktorFrankenThis Palin bashing from all of the Left is like one of those Super Volcanoes - just like the one in Yellowstone. It's going to come to a point where it becomes nuclear and all of the fallout will destroy The Left and everything that they have worked for (Socialist/Communist takeover of our country). All of that evil bile will splatter back into their own faces. Some media outlets will be taken down at the same time.
Although we are winning the battle of ideas we cannot let up one one second. We have to confront these stupid, baseless, morally corrupt, soulless, Anti-American enemies of our way of life. This IS a war. We MUST win. Keep the pressure on the Left - ALWAYS!

Have you looked at a GQ
Fri, 11/20/2009 - 02:57 ET by mostlymoderateHave you looked at a GQ lately? It's more like "Gay-Mens Quarterly". The magazine is full of 15 year old boys wearing $300 briefs, usually sitting together in a room and usually with no girls. This magazine has nothing to do with being a "gentleman" and has everything to do with being a conceited, gay-snob. We all know the type. The artsy-fartsy Perez-Hilton type. Ohwwwwww.

Why Liberals Fear Sarah Palin
Fri, 11/20/2009 - 03:07 ET by Retired GeekLiberals are saying Comrades, er uh I mean fellow Democrats, "Palin has zero experience as a Community Organizer". How could she possibly be ready to lead America?
Why she has never even taught ACORN how to 'Steal Elections'.
Democrats say Sarah Palin has NO plagiarism experience, like Joe Biden.
One World Government supporters are afraid, Sarah Palin will NOT appease Iran and Syria, not to mention Ayers, Wright, Farrakhan and The Nation of Islam.
Democrat Elitists scream, how many articles has she written for Harvard Law Review?
Democrat leaders scream we have not heard her say "um", "uh" or "er" once, how could she possibly communicate with Obama followers?
Affirmative Action advocates complain, Sarah Palin has NEVER even fulfilled any kind of quota.
Obama Cultists state, Our Obama-Messiah has created a whole new class of Americans, 'Bitterclingers' who might see this 'SarahCudda' as relating to them.
Quoting 'Messiah Obama' about Sarah Palin, "this is NOT acceptable".
Pro-Choice feminists scream, this woman doesn't represent 'The American Woman', she didn't even allow her young to die in a dirty hospital utility room alone.
Code Pink supporters screech, Sarah Palin was pictured with a gun and a soldier. Need we say more about her lack of Patriotism?
Metrosexuals recoil and hiss, Horrors of Horrors - she doesn't seem to know her place in the 'Collective'.
Radical Educators say, how will we explain to the children that the Palin family doesn't have two mommies or two daddies.
All Liberals agree, what Sarah Palin represents destroys all that they hold dear.

Along with pushing gay marriage to the point where they were saying anyone not going along with the gay agenda was a braindead Neanderthal. They kept shipping me their rag for over two years trying to get me to send more money to them, along with monthly threats that it wouldn't be coming to my home anymore...For two years..
What I always found hysterically funny was this magazine publication backed Obama and his socialist/communist agenda. This magazine makes its living off of trying to sell luxury items that are often extremely expensive. Say a wool coat for $4,000...I don't think they've figured out yet that once communism levels everyone there won't be luxury items to buy anymore as no one will have the money for them or the excrementitious magazine that promotes a luxurious, "gay" way of life. Stick your magazine with its communist writers where the sun don't shine. Then again they might enjoy that. Idiots......

If you have Democracy, Sarah Palin might cause a violent outburst! Sarah Palin is a politician with governmental aspirations, and for them to be spreading fear about people involved in running for government is a travesty.
