Rolling Stone on Palin. Get down.

Did you read the Rolling Stone Sarah Palin yarn? Zounds!

Sarah Palin is a symbol of everything that is wrong with the modern United States. As a representative of our political system, she’s a new low in reptilian villainy, the ultimate cynical masterwork of puppeteers like Karl Rove. But more than that, she is a horrifying symbol of how little we ask for in return for the total surrender of our political power. Not only is Sarah Palin a fraud, she’s the tawdriest, most half-assed fraud imaginable, 20 floors below the lowest common denominator, a character too dumb even for daytime TV – and this country is going to eat her up, cheering her every step of the way. All because most Americans no longer have the energy to do anything but lie back and allow ourselves to be jacked off by the calculating thieves who run this grasping consumer paradise we call a nation.

    Nice indeed. My favourite paragraph:

    “Here’s what Sarah Palin represents: being a fat fucking pig who pins “Country First” buttons on his man titties and chants “U-S-A! U-S-A!” at the top of his lungs while his kids live off credit cards and Saudis buy up all the mortgages in Kansas.”

    That is the most disgraceful ad hominem attack I have ever read.

    Excuse me ‘Generic Person’? So a fair-minded hatchet job can only be the work of a ‘Trot’ ?

    Are you by any chance a Pom? Because as far as I can recall, the only people who made any widespread use of the term ‘Trot’ as a term of abuse were the wide-boy cockney barrow-boys and spivs who thought Marg. Thatcher was the greatest politician who ever lived.

    I think he/she’s an elephant. But then, I’m a frog.

    GenP – I think that, being as how Palin’s (apparently) female, that should be “ad hominam”. Without wishing to demolish the quote’s antiquity to “..feminam”, it is still necessary to conjugate the generic.
    The resentful undead tories, still in denial over Hilda Robert’s dethronement, are a perfect example of the damage done by the TINA quote, “there’s no such thing as society”. When such morally myopic venality (inevitably) falls apart they are like spoiled children, refusing to acknowledge reality.

    True story. I know a woman who is a god daughter of Maggie Thatcher. I once joked that it sounds like an urban legend (You be good or your parents will leave you and you’ll have to go live with Maggie.) That went down poorly.

    wish the article could come out with something sensational, rather than hackneyed phrases about a pit pony

    Why oh why did Obamarama pick Biden for VP? When he could have had this Mom alongside… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcy_Burner
