Perot had some interesting ideas.
He had interesting ears too. And your point? 
I’m working on parsing what “interesting” means to gonzomax.
Seriously, give Perot credit for rubbing both “real” parties’ noses, and the voters’, in the deficit problem that neither was addressing. Without his pressure, and the resulting proof that the people really did want the problem addressed, I doubt you’d have seen Clinton put eliminating it nearly as high on his list.
Which is all a far different thing from saying there was much feeling among the voters that Perot himself should have been the one to do it. And it’s even farther from saying Palin similarly has a serious, or even coherent, agenda item, even as an “outsider”, to push forward.
Grab your Popcorn–the new Palin movie is coming!

The upcoming Sarah Palin movie is called The Undefeated?
Does Palin think she’s the Vice President? Has she noticed that John McCain isn’t hanging out with her anymore? Or that Barack Obama is on the news all the time?
Okay, scratch that last one. I’m pretty sure Palin doesn’t know what’s on the news.
Stephen K. Bannon, the guy responsible for the movie, sounds like a wingnut version of Leni Riefenstahl.
And calling it The Undefeated - that’s pretty cheeky, re-using the title of a John Wayne movie.
I’m putting my money on “so bad, it makes Atlas Shrugged look good.”
Atlas cried.
If it made sense, it wouldn’t be the Gingrich Scale.
Maybe that can be her campaign slogan, “I was never defeated. I just quit.”
From Balloon Juice, a bunch of alternative titles for Palin’s flick:
It seems there is a chance that the Cunt from Wasilla may run for president, after all. This is a quote from the Drudgereport:
."
There’s also a *Washington Examiner * that claims she is currently the second choice for the Republicans. http://washingtonexaminer.com/blogs/beltway-confidential/2011/05/poll-palin-near-top-re-shaped-gop-field
Looks like the GOP is hell-bent on committing political suicide.
That’s fine with me. At this point, they deserve no less.
Well, anything is better than the Cocksucker from Kenya. :rolleyes:
And that would be Mercedes N’gatal’uuu’taa who starred in such classics as, “Haley’s Sal-Assey”, “Blowing for Rice”, and “Behind the Green Tent Flap.” Classics, one and all.
Is this a great country or what?
That we can even be having this discussion is remarkable. Truly, anyone can grow up and think they can run for President, and be taken seriously by some segment of the population.
Palin is the best candidate the Republicans could offer. She is bright, heavily experienced and shows great diplomacy. She is dignified . When she quit as Governor ,it was not her fault. The press was not nice to her. Palin would be great at running the economy. She has a deep understanding of it and would be just peachy.
If Palin enters, it’ll be damn hard for anyone but her and Romney to get any media attention. If that’s the case, I strongly predict that either she or Romney will end up the nominee. Romney will have to campaign pretty far to the right to get the nomination, which is probably bad for everybody.
This woman’s trying to have it both ways: She ‘hates’ the media (or at least the “lamestream media”) but loves all the attention! Why else would she say so many ridiculous things?? Surely a person who was governor of Alaska knew what the hell a blood libel was before we explained it to her? I’m not religious at all (have no Jewish relatives, either), and even I know wtf a blood libel is.
And now she’s coming out with some really absurd documentary or movie about her life? Oh, god… Shoot me now
Ironically, it’s entitled Undefeated. Undefeated, about a woman who was defeated in 2008 and quit her job halfway through! Undefeated at what, Wasilla beauty pageants? She certainly was ‘defeated’ by 5 colleges before finally graduating at her 6th.
I didn’t. Then again, I also didn’t try using it in an attack on someone, either…
You…you…masticating thespian!
