What has Palin ever accomplished?

[Hugabear]

I'm just curious, has she ever accomplished anything noteworthy? Surely, she must have at least one accomplishment that she achieved during her brief stint as governor?

I've been scratching my head over this for awhile, but I can't really come up with a single thing.

[Ardent15]

1. She stabbed her fellow Alaskan GOP'ers in the back

That's all I can think of.

[spanone]

2. failed mayor, failed governor, failed candidate....the perfect republican

[madmax]

[madmax]

3. Had a few kids.

And is now a Grandmother. :evilgrin:

[Gold Metal Flake]

11. Twice.

By my count.

[madmax]

37. Took me a while... ;)

[Gold Metal Flake]

41. LOL!

:toast:

[liberal N proud]

4. ..

:think::think::think::think::think:




:shrug:

[HughMoran]

5. AsI told my parents the other day, she better run for office soon - 'cause when her looks fade...

...she ain't got nothin' (not that she has anything now, but people like her looks for some reason.)

[Flying Dream Blues]

27. Yeah, and there was a hint of the fade in those teabagger pics...

and I thought the same thing. Better hurry, the sun's over the yardarm (or whatever that saying is). :)

[onehandle]

6. She lifted John McCain's wallet. nt

[saltpoint]

7. Her resignation from the Governor's post in Alaska confirmed that

Attention Deficit Disorder is real, and that while it affects anyone across all demographics, it may be especially acute in those who are also dangerously right-wing, and in those cases -- so far only Republicans and Tea Baggers have been clinically observed to be bearers of the affliction -- a darker, more sinister mutation has been noted in which the right-wing afflictees are observed to exhibit grandiose cruelty to animals, manifest in the impulse to slaughter wolves from helicopters, for example, as well as distinctively keen antisocial behavior which appears to take the form of community organizer-bashing.

That the new mutation pervades most Republicans is now clinically documented, although in Ex-Governor Palin's case, the symptoms are as vivid as they are incurable.

[NRaleighLiberal]

8. Her existence has created hundreds of OPs at DU

[Hugabear]

12. So have *, Glen Beck, Cheney, Limbaugh, Mittens, and countless other repubs

Like it or not, she is the face of the opposition right now. There's a good chance she'll be running for president in 2012. We can't just pretend she'll go away if we quit talking about her.

[NRaleighLiberal]

16. I know. She just makes everyone in our family physically ill.

Not that Bush* didn't have the same effect!

[Hugabear]

18. I don't know what makes me more ill - her, or her sycophant followers

:puke:

[NRaleighLiberal]

19. Let's call it a tie!

[Boojatta]

28. For example...

Sarah Palin, politics aside, is hot? Anyone agree?

[Kalun D]

36. Yeah

She's just a distraction from the business as usual in DC

the wars, the bankers, the oil companies, the health care ripoff are alive and well under Obama

[Fuzz]

9. Given basement dwelling freepers masturbatory material?

[cliffordu]

10. media star.

[Historic NY]

13. She quit.

[booksenkatz]

24. This is for Sarah--->

I love this movie, and whenever I watch it, I think of Sarah when this scene rolls around.:)

But truly, I don't see how anyone could view this person as presidential material when she QUIT. It's amazing that she doesn't even grasp how unqualified she would be as president -- what an ego. I try to wrap my brain around the damage she would do as president, and as fertile an imagination as I have, I can't begin to envision it.

[Hugabear]

29. It's all fun and games until the economy collapses and the Chinese invade

Although in reality, the Chinese won't even have to invade.

The thought of Sarah Palin trying to handle foreign diplomacy with China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, etc should be enough to scare the shit out of anyone.

[Cerridwen]

14. A brazillion threads on DU complaining about the media's obsession

with her?

Yeah. I'm a bad DUer.

[Orrex]

15. She made W look like the second dumbest person on the planet

And that's quite a feat.

[greenbriar]

26. this

love it

[Lil Missy]

17. Blasphemy! She ran for president!

Or was that McSame?

Well, she could see Russia from her house! Or, .. not.

Oh! I know! She teabagged millions of wingnuts! Or, ... gave them boners.

Uhm, ... she taught abstinance only sex ed to her daughter! Yeah, that's it! Erm ... uh .. nevermind.

[Quantess]

20. Compared to average people, she did fairly well in terms of accomplishments.

She's no loser.

But, I hear your point. What makes her so important or so qualified to make any policy decisions? It's hard to escape the fact that she isn't that bright. And she quit being governor, so how does she retain any credibility?

[NRaleighLiberal]

22. Worse than a loser, a megalomaniacal quitter.

[HipChick]

23. She killed the American Dream...

just wink in place instead of getting an education..

[Quantess]

25. Her college education didn't seem to do much good, did it?

[Gregorian]

21. She managed to grow a full head of luxurious HAIR!

And...nothing else.

[HipChick]

31. It's an awful looking wig..

[Gregorian]

38. I should have known!

If ignorance is bliss, she must be extremely happy. :)

[Berry Cool]

30. Must I remind you all? Is this "DU: The Musical"?

Because if it is, let me play the role of Stubby Kaye in "Lil' Abner" and gather you all around to remember the accomplishments of this great woman:

When McCain fought Obama and annihilation was near,
Who was there to lead the charge that took him safe to the rear?
Why, it was Jubilation T. Palin,
Sank the boat he was sailin',
Jubilation T. Palin, a chick who knew no fear!

When he might've had us but the issue still was in doubt,
Which presidential running mate turned it into a rout?
Why, it was Jubilation T. Palin,
Old "Floppin' and Failin,'"
Jubilation T. Palin, she knocked McCain right out!

With their ammunition gone and faced with utter defeat,
Who was it who garbled word salad and left 'em nothing to eat?
Why, it was Jubilation T. Palin,
Old "Whinin' and Wailin',"
Jubilation T. Palin, too wordy for any tweet!

HURRAY!

When it seemed like as governor she'd keep on fighting for months,
Who took pity on Alaska and ca-pit-u-lated at once?
Why, it was Jubilation T. Palin,
On her office she's bailin',
Jubilation T. Palin, she weren't nobody's dunce!

Who said he was re-con-noiter-ing on the Appalachian Trail,
Circlin' through the piney woods, but disappeared in a fail?
Why, it was Jubilation T. Sanford,
(OK, he has nothing to do with Palin, but we couldn't resist)
Jubilation T. Sanford, the missing mountaineer!

Who became so famous with a reputation so great,
That she ran for vice president and hardly helped carry a state?
Why, it was Jubilation T. Palin,
The chief that we weren't hailin',
Jubilation T. Palin, she made the country wait!

Stonewall Jackson got his name by standing firm in the fray,
Who was known to everyone as good ol' "Papier-Mache?"
Why, it was Jubilation T. Palin,
Her resignation she's mailin',
Jubilation T. Palin, she really saved the day!

REPRISE (FINALE): (sung slowly and mournfully)

Though she's left her office now, her mighty torch is still lit.
First in war. First in peace. First to holler, "I quit!"
Why, it's Jubilation T. Palin...the one we may be jailin'...
Jubilation T. Palin...the gal so full of...
(complete the last line yourself)

[deacon]

32. A PHD in quitting. n/t

[Bitwit1234]

33. Oh now gals and guys you forgot - didn't she skin a moose.

[Incitatus]

34. A collection of wildlife heads mounted to her wall, shot from the safety of an aircraft?

[Skittles]

35. she's the #1 repuke whore

[xiamiam]

39. other than have people obsess over her and thousands of posts..not much..nt

[Mudoria]

40. I give her credit for accomplishing...

the feat of becoming a Mayor, Governor and the VP candidate while being able to fool large numbers of people into overlooking the fact she is an utter and complete moron.
