Palin, Bachmann, and Christine O’Donnell are going to start the Milf-y Dipshit Party. ---

I don’t know why Palin sees any need to start another third party to the right of the GOP. The [America First Party](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America_First_Party_(2002)) and the [Constitution Party](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_Party_(United_States)) already exist. But perhaps Palin doesn’t know that. ---

Palin has undeniable charisma when she speaks to crowds. People practically hang on every word. She’s got some kind of Mojo. Maybe she is casting spells. 😛 It’s a shame that she hasn’t made the effort to be better informed on major issues. Her speeches lack intellectual substance. But they do get the masses excited. > [@pkbites](#): > > Of all the insults I’ve heard flung at her I understand this one the least. > > Why is she a witch?😕 > > Or did you mean bitch? ---

> [@marshmallow](#): > > Aw come on, American culture would be all the poorer if we never had Palin thrust upon us. She’s a gem. Someone who spreads that much happiness and joy is a saint. At the very least, stripper/pornstar Lisa Ann owes her a very profitable revived career. > [@pkbites](#): > > Of all the insults I’ve heard flung at her I understand this one the least. > > Why is she a witch?😕 > > Or did you mean bitch? Right – it was _O’Donnell_ we were suppose to weigh against a duck. (When you have to open a campaign spot with “I’m not a witch”, you can save yourself the rest of the funds, all hope’s lost.) ---

Like saying “freaking” instead of “fucking.” I have no idea why. It sounds kind of childish to me, but to each their own. ---

> [@Chefguy](#): > > Palin is quitting again? Color me stunned. :rolleyes: Yeah, but based on her track record, whenever Palin “quits” [she doesn’t go away](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=540952), she just makes a lateral move to a different spotlight. ☹ ---

> [@MsWhatsit](#): > > Witch is like the “safe” way to say bitch. Like saying “freaking” instead of “fucking.” I have no idea why. It sounds kind of childish to me, but to each their own. It also commonly means a cold hearted, vile, utterly nasty person. There is the Disney/Bugs Bunny version of the bubbling cauldron and there’s the woo-loving crystal-hugger’s fantasy (and a few other flavours), but in general calling someone a witch is a fairly straightforward insult. I assume **pkbites** isn’t from America and so unaware of its common meaning. ---

> [@Rhythmdvl](#): > > I assume **pkbites** isn’t from America and so unaware of its common meaning. Yes, I am from America. Like I said earlier of all the insults flung at her I hadn’t heard one as benign as “witch”. Seems kind of mild considering how much some of you hate and fear her. ---

Seems kind of mild considering how much some of you hate and fear her. Ah, my mistake–I took your comment at face value. Your “how much some of you hate and fear her” puts it in perspective. ---

Remember, both Nixon and Reagan lost elections later to come back and be successful. As the country becomes ever more stupid, year by year, Palin will look better to everyone when her hair begins to have a silver streak in it.
