I was cooking and had to leave the kitchen

[Mira]

Sarah's godawful voice, and her more than godawful folksy stupidity made me want to throw up before I could even eat.
I had to get away to gather my wits and calm my stomach lining. The Germans have an expression "standing like an oil slicked buddha" (herumstehen wie ein Ölgötze) and that is what the Donald reminds me of standing beside her and the smirky slick weirdness of his expression as she does her antics shows me clearly that he knows she is full of it and simply wants to make herself important again.

What have we come to? I would not have believed this scenario even a year ago.
The Republican party is on a path to not only self destruct, but to look at it's remnants and debris from the bottom up.
YUCK

[KamaAina]

1. The Germans have a word for "oil-slicked buddha"?!

[Mira]

2. I can't help it

- it's my translation - some inter-language words cannot be described - simply approximated.
But now I have found Gemütlichkeit having left the show behind, and once they get their just desserts I will have plenty of Schadenfreude.

17. Evocative translation

You translation of Ölgötze conjures up an image that works well with Donald Trump. I would have translated it more as a "lamppost" or "bump on a log", but for the Trump comparison I like your imaginative translation better.

3. You could not change the channel?

[Mira]

9. Of course. I could have

But it was more fun to leave it behind and talk to you

[Contrary1]

4. Maybe we can package her and use as a weight loss tool...

That's about the only thing she's good for.

[7wo7rees]

5. Good luck with that. Let us know pls how it works out for you.

[Dalai_1]

6. K&R n/t

[bamademo]

7. George W. Bush elicits a visceral reaction of rage.

I will go to my deathbed, cussing about him and wishing him to a Hell I don't really believe in but wish one existed for him.

[OldHippieChick]

8. I,too, could not stand to hear her voice.

It is akin to fingernails on a chalkboard and it made my spine cringe. Cannot believe MSNBC ran the entire thing. Wish I could actually email them my outrage.

[SheilaT]

10. See if your remote has a mute button.

That might help.

[Mira]

11. Aw shucks, (I say while still under Sarah's influence)

...let me ask you why you are wasting your time to tell me something this elemental.
(In truth you just wanted to talk to me for once. Am I right?)

[SheilaT]

13. My secret is out.

But you won't hold this against me, I trust.

[imanamerican63]

12. What was that sucking sound from Palin?

Not only was she sucking the air out of the room, she was sucking the air out of Trump's ego! Just another clown joining the clown train!

[dixiegrrrrl]

14. See, that is gonna be the fun part.

2 megalomaniacs vying for the same spotlight.
He just made her relevant again, about 30 minutes before her son was arrested for beating on a woman.
snowbilly delight!

[imanamerican63]

15. So true!

[MisterP]

16. presumably it's this Buddha, blasting the SCHIESSE out of Frankfurt or whatever

[Mira]

19. What a find!

I do wonder what that's all about. Don't see anything that would suggest the blasting of excrement though.

[MisterP]

21. Kaiser Bill commissioned it to justify the Boxer War

still not as loopy as the 1880 Yellow Peril story with the Golden Dragon Flag hoisted over the Capitol

[403Forbidden]

18. What were you cooking up there?

[Mira]

20. That would be "over there" to you

the Californian.
I'm all the way across the country straight to the East.
Does curried vegetable soup based on roasted cauliflower sound appealing?
I have a sister in Santa Monica - but because we don't get along I have not been in CA in a long time. If that changes I'll bring you some from my freezer.

[403Forbidden]

22. I kind of meant it like "what are you cooking up....there"

...not "what are you cooking...up there".

Bur I do like soups

[TreasonousBastard]

23. Roasted cauliflower in a curry? Sounds very interesting.

[ladyVet]

24. That sound's mighty good to me!

Does curried vegetable soup based on roasted cauliflower sound appealing?

Suddenly, I can see a beautiful friendship forming.

After the half-baked Alaskan, this race suddenly became much more interesting. It will be fun to see how to egomaniacs work together (I'm going to take the pool for "not well&quot .

[Mira]

25. I'm seeing

the half baked Alaskan in my mind ----- from the front porch at my house.
The Trump folks are taking her to Oral Roberts U today in order to capitalize on the momentum that in my opinion will bite them in the butt.
