Because the far Right-Wing have turned Reagan into a caricature of himself. The now have some weird idealized image of Reagan that bears absolutely no resemblance to the man or his political career that they trot out to support the Republican Crazy of the Day. ---

On her recent visit to Boston, Palin schooled the locals about Paul Revere’s place in history. [Link](http://videos.mediaite.com/video/CNN-Sarah-Palin;recently_viewed) I love the look on the newsreader’s face after the story. ---

I think the big difference between Palin and Bachmann is that Bachmann is being told by God exactly what to do and when to do it whereas Palin tells God exactly what she wants to hear and then hears God repeat it back to her. ---

I have Palin’s Tourette’s, a recently-described disorder. I can’t stop saying “Fuckyoufuckyoufuckyoufuckyou.” to the computer screen when I view clips of Sarah Palin. ---

What disturbs me most about Palin and the Palinites out there, who are almost totally tea partiers or Republicans, is that they are actually in love with the concept of Sarah Palin, the promise, what she could actually be, you know, if she actually read the newspapers, took her responsibilities as an elected official seriously, and truthfully put the country first. The truth is, she’s so far from the promise it’s not even funny. But her supporters think it’s the mean, left-leaning media that’s to blame. Every candidate gets raked over the coals and viewed under a microscope. Not just Palin. I wonder if Palin supporters could even fathom working with, or for, Palin. Someone who has an exaggerated sense of self, plays the victim whenever they are called out for not having their shit together, and more importantly, cynically drops the ball on their responsibilities that they signed up for in a transparent, self-promoting act. I’m so disgusted that people with functioning brain cells, and more troubling, voter registration cards, give her the time of day. I mean, if Sarah Palin was fifty pounds heavier and looked like Golda Meir, would anyone give her the time of day? ---

It’s the natural reaction. Your guy makes some idiotic and false statement, so you search to find some plausible, obscure factoid that makes it sound like your guy wasn’t being stupid and wrong, and then go “Who’s stupid now, moron?” to your opponents. It’s even possible Palin had heard a lecture from a tourguide earlier in the day that included some of the info about trying to warn off the British, and mangled it into her statement. Or, she’s just an ill-informed idiot. Based on her record thus far, I know which option strikes me as more likely. ---

I always had a feeling that a woman president or two would soften our foreign politics, cut wars and be more caring of the poor and downtrodden. But these loons throw that out the window. . Bachmann or Palin with her finger on the button is very unsettling. I can not imagine either of them having discussion with world leaders, that would not require the US scrambling for a sufficient apology. They are not measured in their speech. They say whatever stupid thing occurs to them . Stupid things occur to them all the time. ---
