Since the [Elections thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=624241) on this was closed, and I probably couldn’t have said this in there anyway: fuck you, you self-righteous, moralizing, right-wing harpy. McGinniss has [exposed](http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2011/09/14/2011-09-14_sarah_palin_had_sex_with_basketball_player_snorted_cocaine_and_cheated_on_husban.html?r=news) you for what you are: a lying, grasping hypocrite.

Now, I would normally agree with **Skald’s** comment in that thread about not using this information like the right used Clinton’s peccadilloes against him. Your sex life is your own business. But Clinton wasn’t the self-proclaimed bastion of morality that Palin is, and she deserves every bit of what’s coming to her. No wonder she’s been trying to haul in as much cash as possible over the past few years and has been so coy about running for office. Once McGinniss got on her trail, it was only a matter of time before this all came to light. Fuck you, bitch.

And of course, you immediately accept it as the gospel truth?

And why can’t you leanr what the word hypocrite means?

Even assuming every word of McGinnis’ stories are true, that doesn’t make her a hypocrite.

Why can’t everyone just vilify her for being extremely mentally limited, which she is, and avoid the tmeptation to call her stuff she’s not?

She quit. that tells you all you need to know about her character and values. Who she has sex with is not an important part of the equation.

Bwuh? I came in here expecting to see conservative boobies. Not only are there no boobies here, it turns out we’ve lost a board fixture. That’s too bad.

No, we have not lost anyone. It has not happened, and I will not agree with anyone who says it has. You can all talk about me now.

(I though someone should fill in for Dio’s absence)

I know he’s not, like, _dead_ or anything. But I still feel bad for laughing at that.

All she has to do is prove that she didn’t do any of these things. You know, like with a long-form “not a coked up ho” certificate.

That should make it all go away.

To flesh that out (sorry) a bit further, Palin has trumpeted her religious beliefs, repeatedly pointed to events in her life as being part of “God’s plan” and had this to say in sneering at the “lame stream media” for supposedly viewing religious people as alien beings:

_“What is threatening about the Ten Commandments, a moral code that Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, the religions that account for 97% of all Americans believers, recognizes as the basis for living a good life?”_

from “America By Heart” by Sarah Palin, 2010, p. 215

I don’t know if McGinniss’ revelations are true. but if they are, Palin will deserve the label of “hypocrite”.

**Bricker** , this is an even bigger loser for you than attempting to deny the hypocrisy of William Bennett, who preached to us about Virtue before it was revealed that he’d lost a ton of money gambling. Hopefully you won’t go parsing off the deep end in this instance as well.
