Comedian Rob Delaney analyzes Sarah Palin's Tweet

[FarLeftFist]

It’s not surprising that a photo of a terrorist with a bullet hole in his face would turn Sarah Palin on. The way she asks for it to be released though, is an interesting bit of dishonesty.

“Show photo as a warning to others seeking America’s destruction.”

I’m imagining a group of terrorists sitting around a computer, pulling up a photo of Osama Bin Laden’s corpse, and one saying “WHOA GUYS, if we try to ‘destroy America’ they might try put BULLETS in our FACES. We better knock this malarkey off ASAP. Return that fertilizer to the hardware store and let’s use the fuel we’ve stockpiled to power the generator at my nephew’s school for a few weeks.”

Terrorists, especially of the Jihadi variety, are frequently prepared for and SEEKING death, whether it comes in the form of a bullet, explosion, or underpants conflagration on a Detroit-bound flight.

But I presume Sarah Palin knows this. So her tweet is both “politicking” and “drama.” It’s theater, in fact.

And way to wrap it up with “That’s the mission.” Though she didn’t shoehorn the words “Islam” or “Muslim” into her clunker of a tweet, she did finish it with a word whose definitions include “a group of people sent by a religious body, esp a Christian church, to a foreign country, to do religious work.”

I’m glad she was so transparent about what her “mission” is. And let’s also salute her for sneaking the word “pussy” in there. Osama Bin Laden is killed while Barack Obama is President, and Sarah Palin’s immediate response is to explicitly link him with the word “pussy.” Would she have worked the word “cocky” in there if he released the photo?

To conclude, her tweet is bloodthirsty, purposefully dishonest, willfully ignorant, xenophobic and rude. It’s a fantastic snapshot of who she is.

3. Doesn't she need about 20 tweets to match her rambling?

5. Funny

I like this tweet:

Pot is a gateway drug. But the gateway is cluttered with gallons of ice cream & stacks of pizza, so it's hard to pass through.

7. Why does Sarah Palin hate the troops so much?

Did she stop to consider the impact those photos could have in Afghanistan? If even 1 single troop got injured because some person in Afghanistan became enraged after seeing this photo and decided to seek revenge, is it worth the cheapshot political points? She's really not too bright, is she?

10. None of this occurred to her. Bet on it, it's never crossed her mind. -nt

11. She'd have to think about someone other than herself

to consider any of that.

8. A comedian analyzing a tweet by Sarah Palin

is a tragic misallocation of resources. Sarah Palin's tweets are funny enough without explication. Stop wasting your life, man!

9. I liked Jon Stewart's take, that Palin insists the "mission" must be completed. . .

a task she believes so strongly in she had to quit her job as Alaska's governor in order to "tweet" her directions. . .

12. Freaking perfect line
