SARAH PALIN=MRS. PRITCHARD


DOES ANYONE ELSE AGREE THAT THE SARAH PALIN APPEARANCE OUT OF NOWHERE (I.E., ALASKA) REMINDS YOU OF THE AMAZING MRS. PRITCHARD?

reply

My first thought was he's hired Tina Fey. Then when I learned a little about her I thought we'll have Mrs. Pritchard in office.

If we're going to go British can't we borrow Michael Palin? He'll even wear a dress.

reply

I agree. I thought of Mrs. Pritchard right away and just looked up J. McTeer to recall the name.
I Iost interest in the show before the end - partly because I thought the premise was too absurd.
But drama-wise I got nervous about what horrible things might happen in the plot!
I'm too worried to laugh right now.

reply

HA!



Funny stuff...

reply

Yes she certainly does, and I liked and admired both ladies. Straight shooters.
Will there ever me any season?

reply

We could only wish. NO, A THOUSAND TIMES, NO!

The original message was posted almost two years ago, before the November 2008 election and Palin's subsequent 'career' as a Tea Party idol, so the nature of the question has naturally changed. I saw the series (episode 1) for the first time this evening, and yes, that was my reaction. She's more intelligent than Palin (it would be hard for anyone not to be), but the basic premise is the same: that an uneducated, ignorant "ordinary woman" can do a better job at leading the country than professional politicians, that all that's needed is common sense, that education and knowledgeableness are actually detrimental. So yes: the series is funny, and well-acted, but I find the idea horrifying. In that sense I've learned something from the dreadful sight of Palin's career: before her, I might have found the premise of the series quite attractive.

How did it come to this?

reply

With one obvious difference - the Mrs. Pritchard character has intelligence.

reply

peter hyde - yes, more intelligent and more understanding. Her first day is met with fear and anxiety which I think Palin would be too stupid to understand or have, as she thinks quite highly of herself. It is beyond understanding how people think that Palin would make a good president or anything else. Her lack of intellect is so annoying. I want to scream everytime I hear her speak.

reply

I have never heard of a male who wanted to “scream” upon hearing Sarah Palin’s voice.

Let’s talk about the "lack of intellect" that is so annoying (such as when a gentleman does not know how to use spell-check and pretends that “everytime” is a word.

I screamed in annoyance when OBAMA SAID HE VISITED ALL 57 STATES! (Yes, we all know there are 57 ISLAMIC STATES, and that Obama spent his formative years in Islamic schools where he memorized the 57 Islamic States (I guess he forgot he was running for president of the USA). I don't know of a single child who doesn't know that there are only 50 States. [Sarah Palin not only knows there are 50 States, she can even name them.)

I screamed in annoyance when OBAMA DID NOT KNOW THE STATES THAT BORDERED HIS OWN! (Obama was an Illinois State Senator; he was also a US Senator from the state of Illinois; HOWEVER, in neither instance did he ever (in all those years) know the names of the states that bordered Illinois. (This is a VERY important thing to know; it has to do with geography, which has to do with (a) water (b) land (c) air (d) transportation (e) communication (f) trade (g) commerce (h) criminal justice (i) courts (j) health (k) finance (l) weather (m) education (n) agriculture (o) railroads (p) tourism (q) fire (r) safety (s) licensing (t) boards and commissions.

I screamed in annoyance when OBAMA SAID “MY MUSLIM FAITH.” (No, there is nothing wrong with being a Muslim, but there is something HORRIBLY WRONG with “pretending to be Christian" while attending a "black liberation church" hat does not require its Muslim members to admit their faith. faith

I screamed in annoyance when OBAMA SAID HIS UNCLE HELPED TO LIBERATE AUSCHWITZ! (He has no uncle and it was the Russians who liberated Auschwitz, but then, what's a little lie to win an election? After all, just last week Obama admitted that it is “necessary” to lie to win.)

I screamed in annoyance when OBAMA SAID THAT THE JOINT CHIEFS RUN THE MILITARY! (Sarah Palin understands the US Military system and can even "diagram" the US Military hierarchy.) The fact that Obama doesn’t even understand the basics was PROVEN YET AGAIN, TODAY, when he “forgot” that there is a branch of the US Military known as the “Coast Guard.” (The US Military reminded him in Bagram Air Base.)

I screamed in annoyance when OBAMA SAID THAT EUROPE WAS A COUNTRY (he has such disdain for Europeans, it is no wonder he lumped them into a singular grouping.

I screamed in annoyance when OBAMA COULDN’T TELL THE DIFFERNCE BETWEEN ELIZABETH SANFORD AND WEEZIE JEFFERSON! (Even my (white) nieces and nephews know the difference (of course, they were raised in the USA).

I screamed in annoyance when OBAMA COULDN’T TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEMORIAL DAY AND VETERANS DAY.

I screamed in annoyance when OBAMA SAID “THE TIME HAS CHANGED FOR COME.” (That sounds a bit tawdry; in the least.)

I screamed in annoyance when OBAMA SAID CORPSE-MEN. (For someone supposedly “intelligent” he certainly has a hard time with speaking English.
Is he not aware that he is the ONLY person in the world who pronounces “corps “ as though it was a dead body? He is a FOOL!)

I screamed in annoyance when OBAMA SAID OUR COUNTRYI WAS FOUNDED MORE THAN 20 CENTURIES AGO. (Sarah Palin understands that Jesus was born 2,010 years ago and that Obama was claiming that our forefathers formed our nation 18,0000 years before Christ was born. That sounds pretty nutty.)

I screamed in annoyance when OBAMA SAID THE FBI WAS 100 DAYS OLD (THAT’S THREE MONTHS, WAS HE THINKING OF HIMSELF?)

I screamed in annoyance when OBAMA SAID "BREATHALYZER, OR INHALATOR" (WHEN HE WAS TRYING TO THINK OF A CHILD WHO HAD ASTHMA).

I screamed in annoyance when OBAMA SAID “I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE TERM IS IN AUSTRIAN FOR THAT!” (Sarah Palin knows that Austrians speak German. She knows there is no such language as “Austrian.”)

I screamed in annoyance when OBAMA SAID THAT WE WANT TO HALT THE RISE OF PRIVACY. (Was that yet another Freudian slip?)

I screamed in annoyance when OBAMA SAID THE REFORMS WILL BRING GREATER INEFFICIENCY IN HEALTHCARE. (And, was that yet another Freudian slip?)

I screamed in annoyance when OBAMA SAID THAT “ISRAEL IS A GREAT FRIEND OF ISRAEL.” (If that does not show his absolute disdain for Israel, I don’t know what does.)

I screamed in annoyance when OBAMA TOOK HIS TELEPROMPTER TO A RODEO IN COLORADO.

I screamed in annoyance when OBAMA TOOK HIS TELEPROMTER TO EVERY SINGLE GRADE SCHOOL WHERE HE TRIES TO SPEAK.

I screamed in annoyance when OBAMA TOOK HIS TELEPROMPTER TO EVERY SINGLE PRESS CONFERENCE.

I screamed in annoyance when OBAMA TOOK HIS TELEPROMPTER TO SPEAK TO EUROPEAN LEGISLATURES. (EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN PRESIDENT has been able to give speeches and press conferences without a TelePrompTer. WHY is this so-called "intellectual" not able to do what every other American president has been done (including Bush 41 and Bush 43)? Why can Obama not give a single speech without a TelePrompTer? What is wrong with him? Has he burned out his memory with drugs? There has to be something absolutely seriously wrong with him. I can give a 10 - 20 minute speech without notes. I can give a 30 – 60 minute speech with note cards. Why can’t he? On the few times that he has TRIED to speak without the TelePrompTer, he has “messed up.” Such as claiming there are 57 States (which not even a 5 year old would do).

I was FURIOUS when OBAMA BOWED TO THE KING OF THE MUSLIMS (something NEVER done by an American president.)

WHO financed Obama those years he was supposedly in school? He never had a job.
Why did no one ever see him all of those years when he claimed to be at Columbia? Who financed Obama’s world travel? His expenses were well over $100,000 a year; where did the money come from?

There are THREE plausible excuses. (1) Obama sold drugs; he was a drug dealer, or (2) Obama had a MALE “sugar-daddy” who took care of him, or (3) Obama had a Soros-type sponsor who would collect later, which makes him a “Manchurian candidate.” So, which is it?

Why can’t Obama quit smoking? He is TOO OLD to be smoking! He is a weakling with zero self-control.

If he is such an "intellectual master politician" WHY is his party in such disarray?
And, if he is such a "intellectual master politician" WHY is he not able to read the American people?
If he is such a "intellectual master politician" WHY has the American Left given up on him after LESS than two years? He is a disaster! A freakin' loser!

Yes, exactly. Both shallow soap opera characters---implausible, simplistic and would be laughable if the situation wasn't so serious.

Mrs. Palin reminds me more of another fictional female British P.M. Harriet Jones.
