Latest Sarah Palin idiocy: Oh noes, I have neighbors! How awful!!

I think the important thing is that’s not illegal, and therefore lil’ Bricker should STFU. After all, for eight years we got to hear that, as long as nobody could quote a specific statute that had been violated all the Librul Meanies needed to just go away and get a life.

But I’m sure that’s all different now. After all, he’s now starting lame OPs with “ignoring legal arguments”…which would break nearly a decade of shitty lawyer precedent.

She’s just a simple American. What are you suggesting, Commie?

So Our Lady Of Perpetual Victimhood has a neighbor that can see her house? Aw, poor baby. Too bad she couldn’t act like an adult and walk over and say hello, instead of whining on Facebook like some teenybopper.

How do you? That was exactly the reason I posted that.

Oh, fuck off, Firefly. I apparently function better than you do; I’m not the one who posted the snarky little message that I quoted.

Er, umm, you posted that as evidence that the neighbor writer is stalking Palin, even though McGinniss’ son is making a tongue-in-cheek statement.

Did you have your whooshawheaties this morning?

I’m lost in the whooshstrom. I thought Cloth’ got the sarcasm of the son’s response–the whoosh sound I heard was from people taking him seriously. Can this be cleared up? My sarcasm-detector is being recalibrated, so I’d hate for something like this to set the process back a notch or two.

Yes, I think Clothy was being dry and ended up whooshing some people.

I think that kind of dryness is atypical for him, so that’s why people took him seriously.

Sorry, Clothy.

How do I put this? Even though you posted that Joe McGinniss Jr. quote with your tongue in your cheek*, the result was completely indistinguishable from what you’ve already got a rep for posting in total sincerity. It’s some kind of mutant manifestation of Poe’s Law.

*That’s what I’m taking away from your protestations in post 104. And I, for one, am willing to give you the benefit of the doubt on the point.

You *really *don’t smell the whoosh in that quote? Really?

You, sir, are a special kind of crazy.

heeee…

Wasilla IS the meth capitol of Alaska. :smiley:

Anyway, I disagree with the OP’s take on the FB post, and definition of this as “idiocy”. I’m disappointed in her. She has a seeming inability to grow a thick skin and stop with the Jr. High snipes about personal stuff. That’s not “idiocy” it’s immaturity.

Having read the FB post, it is not, as you say in your OP (paraphrased) “her post is mainly about little gripes that she’d say about any neighbor”. Rather, it’s pretty specific that it’s THIS particular neighbor that is the problem. It comes across as a smartassed version of “ruh roh! Look WHO the new neighbor is,” Certainly not “oh noes we have A neighbor”.

Finally, stop worrying about what Sarah does or doesn’t do or say. Her thin skin and refusal to grow and develop sophistication in her communication has made her unelectable. She’s no threat to the left, and she’s let this behaviour go on long enough that she won’t be in 2012 either.

So what? She’s just a semi-lebrity now.

Poe’s Law . . . or unconvincing backpedal.

I say he posted it in full wonted 'humpy whackitude, had the whoosh pointed out, and is now going, “Yeah, uh, I knew that. I just wanted to see if YOU knew it . . . yeah, that’s it!”

Yeah, well that’s the occupational hazard of having Clothahump’s posting history.

Kinda like if you were to find yourself in such close agreement with a movie critique from, say MTCicero*, that you felt compelled to compliment his analysis…

…except the opposite of that, since everybody would think you were kidding.

*Just a name I pulled out of a recent thread; I have no idea if MTCicero is one of your usual bêtes noires on the subject of film. Feel free to substitute one of your own that resonates better.

I think it likely that he moved to Alaska for the book, but only took the nearby property because it was available.

Also, Palin may be stupid when it comes to world affairs, but not to publicity. She’s trying to cut off sales of the guy’s book by painting him in a bad light. Just as much as picking the house next door is his right–painting him in a bad light for doing so is her right.

Problem is, she’s the less respected one of the bunch.

Bugger me, I listened to her interview on the subject and the woman sure spits some bile and implies some pretty nasty things doesn’t she?

And now she’s building a FOURTEEN foot fence? how the hell is she allowed to build such a thing, don’t they have any sort of zoning laws in Wasilla? If I was the reporter guy, this would make a pretty interesting post script for the book - and would serve as confirmation of just how stir crazy she is.

I am thinking maybe he just moved there because he likes the view of Russia.

Dude, that doesn’t even make sense.

:eek: Is that what Sarah Palin calls her… ahem

I rather doubt the zoning in Wasilla is very tight at all. It might even be non-existent.
