Palin: I'll 'Hopefully' Run for Political Office Again, To Annoy 'Haters'

[IDemo]

Source: NBC

Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin won a fresh round of headlines Tuesday for saying that she “hopefully” will run for office again soon so that she can continue to annoy “haters.”

Asked during an interview on the Fox Business Channel if “hatred” towards her from critics has driven her out of political life, the onetime Alaska governor said that opponents actually have the opposite effect on her ambitions.

“No, bless their hearts, those haters out there. They don't understand that it invigorates me, it wants me to get out there and defend the innocent. It makes me want to work so hard for justice in this country,” she said. “So hey, the more they are pouring on, the more I'm gonna bug the crap out of them by being out there with the voice, with the message, hopefully running for office in the future too.”

Palin appeared to toy with a presidential run in 2011, even launching a bus tour that was raptly followed by national media. That speculation ultimately ended without a presidential bid, with Palin telling supporters “you don’t need a title to make a difference in this country.”

1. annoy? shouldn't that be amuse? n/t

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

73. Yep

[heaven05]

2. spare me, please

you and your wacky politics.

[louis-t]

3. The comedians will be grateful.

Defend the innocent?

[sheshe2]

77. Paging Tina Fey!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. Go for it, Sparklemoose. But we won't be annoyed;

we'll be entertained. And the political cartoonists and late-night TV hosts will have such a wealth of material!

[billhicks76]

83. She's The Hater

And I can't wait for karma to catch up. She doesn't have any Black Magic spells protecting her like the Bushes do.

[Phlem]

5. Oh Mama Moose,

you don't defend the innocent, you offend the innocent.

Bazinga!

[Skittles]

6. is she still in Junior High?

gawd she's so fucking pitiful

[shenmue]

7. Exactly what I thought

She sounds like she never got out of the era of bad hair and little social cliques.

[Scairp]

80. What I was thinking

How disappointing to hear a 50 year old woman say "bug 'em" and "crap". It's all just a game for this airhead but frankly her 15 minutes was up quite a long time ago and I would like it if everyone agreed to ignore her away for good.

[Kelvin Mace]

8. Well, she certainly isn't going to run as a public service

that's for sure.

[Major Hogwash]

9. "Aw geez, not this shit again!"

[img][/img]

[muriel_volestrangler]

10. She would need some excuse to get her marks to give her money again

Since the credibility of her winning any vote has disappeared for all but the most die-hard of her fanatics, I suppose a claim that she would do it to annoy normal people might get some to open their wallets - they are the kind who would pay just for that.

[Tikki]

11. Maybe for public office...what you do up in Alaska has nothing to do with where I live.

Tikki

[Calista241]

12. People pay attention to what she says for what reason?

I mean, she's totally irrelevant. She quit her last government job before her term was up.

[Populist_Prole]

13. Same 'ole Same 'ole. More grifter bait

Stringing her fans along yet again. I don't know who is more stupid, her or her supporters.

[Grins]

24. Everybody sing!

Now it's the same old song
But with a different meaning since you been gone.

[tanyev]

14. Gotta keep the money flowing into SarahPAC somehow.

It's not like she's ever going to get a job.

[City Lights]

15. Yeah, cuz it's all just a game to you, Sarah.

[djean111]

16. Oh, my. The GOP is gonna need a much bigger ring for all those hats being flung.

On the other hand, primary debates would be Must See TV.

Palin trying to speak in complete and understandable sentences (I would be in favor of letting her wear a huge foam fan mitt, so she could write a LOT of stuff on it.

Perry assuming his glasses actually do make him more intelligent. Let's give him a foam mitt to write the names of the agencies he will cut on it, too.

Christie yelling at the other contenders to just shut the fuck up.

Rubio wearing one of those beer can hats, only with bottled water, sucking water through a straw and pretending no one can see.

Jebbie looking smug and bored, refusing to explain anything because he is a Bush.

The possibilities are endless. Funny stuff, but one of those clowns might actually be President, even though there is no presidential material there at all.

[mercuryblues]

42. that

sums it up.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

75. Gonna need a bigger clown car

[Politicalboi]

17. Yes because that's why you should run for office

But please proceed Lady Blah Blah.

[calimary]

28. OMG - Lady Blah Blah!!! I am LOVING this!!!!

I spotted this after I saw Snowshoe Snooki! OMG!!!

I guess you've gotta hand it to her - she is MOST inspirational!!!

My contribution to this, awhile ago, was Tundra Tart. But these are FAR superior!!!

[IDemo]

40. 'Tundra Tart' is pretty funny

I like 'Klondike Kardashian' and 'Moosilini' as well.

[calimary]

62. DANG! I've gotta start keeping track...

Well, I had some spare time tonight...

[niyad]

65. I think this needs to be its own thread, so we can rec and bookmark it in case of need!

[calimary]

70. Here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023299

[niyad]

100. did I miss a connection there? that thread apparently has nothing to do with palin.

[calimary]

101. Yeah, I noticed that, too. The thread suddenly disappeared.

Bummer! I was gonna settle in, this evening, and enjoy reading through it and chuckling some more. Don't know why it's not there anymore, and I haven't been alerted about it or anything.

[niyad]

102. an op of mine seems to have suffered the same fate--no idea why!

[calimary]

103. I sent a message to Elad about it.

Just wanting to know what happened to it. Curious more than anything else. Sorry to miss some of the palin jokes, though!

[niyad]

104. I asked in ATA.

[llmart]

98. Did you forget the latest...

"sparklemoose"

[calimary]

99. Regretfully I did. HOWEVER, it was added to the thread I made out of this post

at the suggestion of DUer niyad! Sparklemoose! A worthy addition for sure!

[Cirque du So-What]

18. Media talking head: 'Half-Governor Palin, what is your primary motivation for running?'

Snowshoe Snooki: 'Spite, Churrlie. Spite.'

[calimary]

27. Snowshoe Snooki?????? OMG!!!!!!

That's the best one yet!!!!!! OMG!!!!

Cirque du So-What! absolutely, positively, utterly, and outrageously!!!!

DUzy - just for this!

[Cirque du So-What]

69. Thanks, but I can't take all the credit

Here on DU I saw her referred to as'Snowboard Snooki,' but I liked the sound of mine better.

[Faygo Kid]

19. Yeah, right. To milk the fools for $$$.

But that's cool. That's all she is about.

[Grins]

20. "...I'm gonna bug the crap out of them"

"...I'm gonna bug the crap out of them", said woman-of-letters, Miss Five-Colleges, whose reading list is "all of them".

[Blue Owl]

21. Pretty hate machine

n/t

[DisgustipatedinCA]

23. Somewhere, Trent Reznor just shuddered involuntarily. nt

[Boomerproud]

22. Of course Fox Business Channel would pitch her the question about "hatred" toward her

without qualifying it with all of the hate that has spewed forth from this woman since her coming out party in '08. Jokefest, not journalism.

[calimary]

25. Maybe people should cast half-votes then?

Cuz she can probably be counted on to stick around for only half of whatever they'd have voted to give her.

[tabasco]

26. Only reason that skeez would run is money

She's a goddamn grifter through and through.

[AZ Mike]

29. A noble cause....

Say what you will about Palin, but she sure knows that when a call to public service beckons that only the brave take up that mantle. I salute you, Sarah!

[AZ Mike]

30. Oops!

[niyad]

66. gracious, you had us worried for a second there!

[Old and In the Way]

31. I see a 2016 Independent CampIgn starting.

She won't bother with a Republican primary campaign...this Princess will ride the grift-train all the way to a 2016 defeat. Everyone loses but her....

[Kalidurga]

32. Please proceed half baked Governor...

And bring Mitt in with you while you are at it. I love seeing conservatives shredded in debates.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

44. I was waiting to see if somebody would use those two words ;) nt

[xfundy]

57. Was that "Half-Baked Alaska?"

[Kalidurga]

63. LOL

Yep Her and Mittens should team up

[3catwoman3]

78. Close.

How about "Half-Baked AL-ASS-KA

[YOHABLO]

33. What she gonna run for, dog catcher? Oh, I mean moose catcher.

[Alkene]

34. Good news for Tina Fey. n/t

[frylock]

35. Fighting for Truth, Justice, and the American way.

they see me griftin'. they be hatin'.

[dballance]

36. She needs to rent "Game Changer" /nt

[IDemo]

37. Ask not what your country can do for you,

Ask how you can troll your country...

[Blue Idaho]

38. She's gonna need money...

Lots and lots of low information voter's money.

Bless her black little heart.

[Chemisse]

39. Annoy? Oh no. I'm ordering the popcorn right now before it's sold out.

Maybe the next Republican debates will be even more absurdly entertaining than the last!

[Ino]

41. Please proceed, quitter-governor! (nt)

[mercuryblues]

43. her

PAC must be low on funds after her family's front lawn brawl. I am willing to bet that a few people got paid off for their video footage out of her PAC. It's not like she's actually donating to candidates with it.

Every time she says this and doesn't run, people donate less and less. I wonder what office she could run for? If she runs for a state office the ads would be plentiful about being a quitter. There is no way she would win a national office.

[Fuddnik]

45. Stewart and Colbert will finance the ticket.

Hell, if she puts Louie Gohmert on the ticket, I'll donate my own damned self.

I'll die laughing!

[KinMd]

46. She should get her kids to sober up and get jobs

[liberal N proud]

47. So she can quit half way through again.

[douggg]

48. Please run, Sarah! Please. Please

Win the nomination and run on your own. I get goosebumps just thinking about it.
Hear beating faster. Breath quicker. Feeling a physical buildup.

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I think I need a cigarette.

And she didn't even have to pick the pennies in my front pocket for that physical contact.

[Solly Mack]

49. and if she doesn't win her family will whip your ass!

[wheniwasincongress]

50. I don't doubt her running

but only in conjuction with a book of hers. they say presidential candidate books sell well when they do that.

[drray23]

51. call me elitist

But i find it depressing that somebody that inarticulate be taken seriously by a sizable segment of the population. What does it say about the country ?

[Le Taz Hot]

52. That's her story and she's sticking to it.

Otoh, the rest of us figured out a long time ago that election season is payday for, what is DU now calling her now -- Sparklemoose (LOVE that name!). What's amazing is that there are still enough stupid people out there left that will actually donate money to her "campaign." I wonder if she'll use the big bus this time. That prop was particularly useful last time.

[JEFF9K]

53. Sounds like Palin has redefined "haters."

She follows in the tradition of Ayn Rand.

[iandhr]

54. Annoy?

Every comedian in the country is licking the chops hoping.

[toddwv]

55. The real reason:

Keep the suckers donating to her PAC.

[LiberalElite]

56. I'll never forgive McCain for foisting this freak on the lower 48 nt

[Jim Lane]

81. Please, forgive him. If he'd picked someone else, he might have won.

Some DUers might not want to think about this -- but if he had picked Lieberman he probably would have won.

[Mike Nelson]

58. I would *LOVE* to see Sarah run!

She's a great role model for the Republican party!

[AngryOldDem]

59. Yeah. That's a good reason to seek public office. To annoy "haters."

Grow the fuck up already, Sarah.

[SummerSnow]

60. same bull different shit

[Monk06]

61. What party would nominate a candidate for the President of the United States just to piss people off

Umm, http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-a_6vRU5Wt3U/UPyjlrQfvvI/AAAAAAAABS4/ab2P6orhf5g/s1600/Never+Mind.jpg

[blueknight]

64. obviously

this lady has a mental illness

[truebluegreen]

67. So. Will she run in a hopeful manner, or does she hope to run?

Or maybe both! Inquiring minds want to know.

[Marrah_G]

68. She has the mentality of a 14 year old

[6000eliot]

71. Well, at least she has a good reason.

[truthisfreedom]

72. Look at the URL for the article.

When you get to the word 'palin' the word that follows it tells all.

[Fearless]

74. Please run. I love the work you do.

Please run for President. I'd love to see us win again.

[brooklynite]

76. You how cats react when you dangle a string in front of them?

Same principle; she wouldn't put herself through the cost and effort of a campaign, but she needs to keep her fan base engaged.

[Zambero]

79. Referring to Palin as an annoyance would be too kind

One who ends up ignored and utterly inconsequential no longer has the ability to annoy.

[davidpdx]

82. Why would people elect her again?

So she could quit halfway through her term?

[truthisfreedom]

84. "defend the innocent"=guarantee the right to ignorance

Tina definitely deserves the extra income.

[bvf]

85. I think she meant

"hopelessly run for office."

[freebrew]

86. Funds getting low?...

Good. Maybe the crazies will send her some cash. I can't see a life in TVland for her future.
Doubt even if fox has a place anymore, she can't pull the ratings, I figure is why she hasn't been seen much lately.
I appreciate that.

She doesn't have to run for office to annoy people.
The sound of her voice makes me run for the mute button.

[Gothmog]

87. Jon Stewart would love to see Palin run for further office

[Adrahil]

88. Oh Please! Oh Please! Oh Please!

I promise to never be bad again if I can just have another election season of that kind of entertainment!

[Orsino]

89. Meaning she will continue grifting, based on a possible future run.

If she hasn't gotten a regular Fox gig by now, though, I think her time's up.

[Javaman]

90. she hit her high water mark when senile mcgrumpy picked her...

now she's out on a mission to grab that brass ring again.

it will be a fun side show to watch.

once upon a time, she used to really irate me. that was mostly due to the concept that she was that close to being our VP. Fortunately, our nation had an unusual bout of sanity and elected a human being rather than anger trolls.

now, she has completely devolved into cartoon. (especially in light of the recent bristol cream meltdown and beatdown, when she went all drunk crazy back in methland.)

I will truly enjoy her newest foray into the political area.

if her past deeds are any indication of her future prospects, we should all be witness to comedy gold.

[Mike Daniels]

91. The national GOP will torpedo her as soon as she actually throws her hat in the ring

Although I seriously doubt Palin has any intention of running as even her primary challengers would be lining up to remind voters that she quit half-way through her last elected office to pursue media fame.

The only way she'll run is if the GOP basically hands her the nomination and I'm not sure what race that would be. She has no chance of winning another office in Alaska and she can forget any chance at POTUS.

[yurbud]

92. Please do. She is the poster girl for the GOPs descent into madness

[GusBob]

93. "it wants me to get out there"

WTF IS THAT???

[calimary]

105. I dunno - Cousin It? Because she's getting her ravings from somewhere.

Through the invisible tinfoil hat with its one-way impermeable membrane (keeping OUT everything that might seep IN and start making a little sense in the world of reality, and allowing to flow out - all the poisons and toxins and opportunistic infections that spawn from the vestige of that itty bitty, shrunken, shriveled lizard brain in there).

At least with Cousin It, you didn't have his face in-yer-face all the time because all you saw was a full-length shroud of hair, and as I recall, he didn't say much either, so you didn't have to have your eardrums split by that squeaky scratchy squawking voice that she has - with which she noise-pollutes us on a regular basis.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

94. Cut her some slack.

At least it's a step up from "Baby Jesus told me to run"

At least she admits she is a troll.

[yellowcanine]

96. If she actually runs I suspect Baby Jesus will get plenty of credit.

Sarah doesn't do anything unless GAWD-deh tells her to do it.

[yellowcanine]

95. Seems like a good enough reason to run except I suspect most "haters" would be delighted.....

[adigal]

97. That's excellent!!! More money for the Republicans to waste!! nt

[Sunlei]

106. $$he has a whole family of violent,alcoholic, freeloaders to support now
