Sarah Palin so dumb she looked at a cylinder of frozen orange juice for two hours because it said CONCENTRATE.

Okay, new blog hosting service: parentsbasement.com. Bloggername pj goes to the highest bidder. Embrace the epithet!

Didn't a blogger start a petition to get people to support her for VP like 2 years ago? Guess she doesn't think much of him.

Sara Palin: Conservative, Stupid, Evil, Anti-Intellectual, Anti-Feminist.

She is so out of touch...

Last night Rachel Maddow went on camera in pyjama bottoms when she covered this interview.

Really, why does a suit make you any more credible?

is she even worth the time? i would like to see her dissapear so we can focus on more important things. not to mention...her voice goes right through me.

Hey wait a minute, I thought she was on the side of all the little people who are in business for themselves. So Joe the blogger, no?

And, AND we don't all have access to the Republican Party's credit cards to furnish our closests so exuuuuuuuuuuuse me.

Part of why John McCain and Sarah Palin lost was because they were out of touch with the blogging/YouTube generation, and didn't jump on the bandwagon until it was too late. If she really does plan on running in 2012 (if ther eis a God(dess).....help us now....she will have to have said bloggers on her side.

Sarah Palin 0, Humanity 1

She sounds like an old lady who hates young people. Next she'll be making fun of our pants and our loud "so-called music". Get with it, Palin. Everyone & their momma blogs. Welcome to the 21st century. Now get away from the podium. Your 15 are up. Let someone deserving have a turn.

Nice post on Palin here.

OMG, stop blaming the media and own up to what you did.

why the fuck doesn't she fucking go away already!!!!

Wow, I actually currently AM wearing pajamas in my mother's basement!

Interesting how she insults huge demographics of people-- community organizers, Muslims, and now the large chunk of college grads who can't find a jobby-job due to our craptastic economy. Way to alienate the masses, Palin!

Dear Sarah, I know you love, love, love, to blame the evil liberal "mee-dee-uh" for any and everything that went wrong with your campaign, but it wasn't their fault. Here's what killed your chances of becoming VP:

- John McCain was proud to have voted with an incredibly unpopular president.
- John McCain couldn't run on the "family values" platform that helped Bush given his personal history which cost him some conservatives.
- John McCain seemed kind of irratic when he picked an unqualified, unvetted person to be his running mate.
- John McCain seemed kind of irratic when he "suspended his campaign" to run back to Washington and save the day during the economic meltdown, but didn't actually do anything.
- John McCain also admitted he didn't know jack about the economy earlier in his campaign.
- In interviews, you rarely seemed to know what the hell you were talking about.
- During the debate, you refused to answer questions you didn't like.
- The RNC was holding you up to be some kind of a populist, yet they spent an insane amount of money styling you and your family.
- Winking and refusing to add "g's" to the end of words is cute every now and then, but after a while it makes you look like a ditzy flirt and not VP material.
- You kept throwing mud at Obama even though it wasn't working and polls were clear that people weren't interested in dirt, but issues.
- You kept insisting that the Obama campaign was trashing your daughter and harassed poor "Joe the plumber" when it was obvious that neither was true.
- You suggested that there were "pro-America parts of the country" and "real Americans" (meaning that there would also have to be anti-America parts of the country and fake Americans, i.e. people who didn't support your politics) which alienated independent voters.
- Neither you nor John McCain had any great ideas for how to make this country a better place, while Barack Obama did.

Now, dear Sarah, please explain to me how any bit of that was the fault of the media. They didn't tell John McCain how to vote or who to run with. They didn't demand that he go to Washington to play maverick or walk around like a loon during the town hall debate. They didn't keep books, newspapers, magazines, or the Internet away from you so that you would be horribly unprepared to answer important questions. They didn't choose your platform, the divisive tone of your campaign, or your language. They didn't force you to release information about your daughter's pregnancy (you could have released your medical records instead) or mention "Joe the plumber" 20+ times in a debate. They didn't force the RNC to buy you clothes that cost as much as my house, nor did they force you to accept them. They also did not force John McCain to choose you nor did they prevent John McCain from vetting you. And they didn't make you abuse your authority as governor or allow your "First Dude" to have way too much say in an office to which he was not elected.

That was you, Sarah.
That was John McCain.
That is why you lost.

I don't understand this whole idea of anyone with an opinion on the internet is some socially-challenged under-achiever living in their parents' basement and subsisting off Pepsi while spending 30 hours a day playing D&D and video games.

That is so ten years ago!

Sorry to disappoint her, but I was living in my son's basement and blogging (until I got married at the ripe old age of 53). The pajamas part, well, yeah, since I usually only had time to be on the computer after I got home from work in the wee hours of the morning or when I got up in the afternoon before work (and comfort is paramount when blogging, Ms Palin, you should try it sometime).

Please - They weren't elected because they had no actual ideas to run on. And by the way, I'm still dressed after a day at work and taking care of my kids by the time I get to start blogging at night. So Sarah, is it okay if I call you Sarah, here's my blog http://aftercancernowwhat.wordpress.com
I'm fully clothed while writing it. I'd love to read your blog so when it's up let me know!

You just know that Joe the Plumber has been giving her lessons on how to spread 15 mins of fame. The silly thing is this woman is also bashing all of the bloggers that defended her. Even though I cannot stand her, I know I wrote about the sexist attacks. I am sure that the more she keeps talking she will justify to the world why McCain had her on such a short leash.

Right after the election, for about a minute and a half there, I was feeling bad for her and thought we could all give her a break. But it really does seem like she is seeking out all this attention, and I can go back to despising her and her anti-feminist hate-filled politics.

The average blogger is 38 years old.

She is obviously totally clueless about the world of social media.

Maybe she should do some of that research she was talking about...

Sarah, I'm very proud of my blog, and these pajamas cost $150,000, thank you very much.

off-topic, but I'll never understand the hate for people who still live with their parents. I guess I just don't get the whole "judge and belittle people who live prefer a different lifestyle than you" thing. Personally, I'm moving out the second I have enough money saved. But not everyone is like that.

Anyway, I agree with Jenn Astle--she should really be trying to connect with the crowds who blog (via youtube, blogger, etc. or elsewhere). Because a lot of younger people read/watch blogs for news or political opinion, so the last people you want to piss off are the authors who're shaping many of today's youth.

The election's over. Can't this woman just go back to Alaska and stop whining?

I do, in fact, live with my mother (and my apartment is even in the daylight-basement). She and I are pretty much best friends and have been for a long time, and she has a house payment to make.

Riddle me this, Sarah Palin: What could be more compassionate, more fiscally conservative, and generally, more intelligent, than living with my mother and paying rent to her, rather than to a relatively anonymous landlord? Right now, my rent effectively goes into my inheritance, or at least making sure my mother will have a place to live when she's 75, even if no equity survives my mother. Isn't that family values?

Since Sarah Palin doesn't want the government to make sure that my mother will have a place to live, I'm doing it now. I'll move out when I get married next summer, but I've never been in a big hurry to move out. I have freedom, privacy, and the companionship of people - my mother and my sister - who are the best friends I will ever have besides my fiancee. A lonely apartment enriching someone who isn't related to me is better how?

But then, I don't really blog; I don't have anything that interesting to say, so I guess I'm the okay sort of basement lodger. I also haven't worn pajamas since college. I might be blogging in a bathrobe, if I was a blogger.

Well, Palin was pretty much spot on. Has anyone heard of Martin Eisenstadt?

Jessica,

Did you really listen to the interview? Palin wasn't talking about ALL bloggers. She was talking about the ones who were spreading rumors about her after the election. And yes, the media should have investigated further before being so quick to report on it.

I understand that you don't like Palin's policies. Personally, I disagree with some of them as well. But I find it really disappointing that Feministing would intentionally distort what she is saying.

she does not have a lot of wise choices in what she says. why does it matter about her because she is not worth listening to anymore the election is over.

"The pajamas are another story... (I like to be comfortable!)"

So she was half-right? A new record for Sarah Palin!

Many, many people presently sitting around in their parents' basements are there thanks to the sub-prime crisis that kicked them out of homes they were responsibly busting their asses trying to pay for. They consider themselves extremely lucky that they have roofs over their heads AT ALL, given the alarming rise of homeless rates in many cities, thanks also to the sub-prime crisis. Palin is so "brainwashed" by her Pentecostal faith she'll never get a clue. She'll just spend the rest of her life insulting people who do not understand her world, a world most sane, intelligent people really don't want to be in. Thankfully, there are many caring families left in this country that are doing all they can to remind their family members living in basements that there is, at least, some COMPASSION left in this world. Sadly, Palin will continue denying the existence of COMPASSION at all.

I think her politics are wrong, wrong, wrong. And she isn't too bright.

Other than that, I don't have a beef with Sarah Palin. I'm starting to feel sorry for her, and I don't believe she deserves all the shit she's been getting. It seems to me that she was minding her own business in Alaska, shooting moose on her snowmobile, when this incredibly powerful brigade (known as the GOP) knocked on her door and said, "We think you would be a GREAT vice president, and here's why." In addition, they probably told her she was their only hope at winning the election, flattered her, promised her many rewards, not to mention the very exciting and prestigious opportunity to be VP.

If Sarah Palin were indeed the evil, manipulating person we make her out to be, I can understand how the blame should naturally be placed on her for accepting the position in the first place. But I honestly think she's a victim of the GOP in this situation. They used her and then dumped her. And I'm not victimizing her because she's a woman...she is CLEARLY not the evil mastermind here. Unfortunately for the people who want to make her something more, she is simply a small-town governor with conservative values who 6 months ago would never have dreamed of something this major happening to her.

And honestly...how many of you would turn down the opportunity to be VP of the United States? We all think we're right, we all think we're pretty clever, and we all think we could do a better job than Cheney. Coupled with your actual party COMING TO YOU and begging you to join them...I have little doubt that even the dumbest among you would say, YES PLZ SIGN ME UP!

What she's doing right now looks like damage-control. I'd want to clean up my reputation a bit too after going through what she did.

There is NOTHING to feel sorry about when it comes to this sorry excuse of a "woman." She used hate and fear-mongering, racism, and downright gynophobia to propel herself to the top of the tent-revival, right-wingnut lunatic fringe.

Besides being grossly unqualified, opportunistic, unintelligent, and just plain WRONG, Sarah Palin forgot the basic law of the universe: What goes around, comes around.

She never hesitated to throw the most outrageous accusations at her opponent, even if it made her and her running mate look bad. She never hesitated to use her parodic sexuality to garner the "Joe Six Pack" vote, even if it gave every self-respecting woman a bad name.

Now she's complaining that all her tactics backfired? BULLSHIT. What a whiny little brat. She's only FURTHER proving her disqualification.

The only way we as women can expect equality is if we are held to the same high standard as our male counterparts -- if we are judged on the value of our merits rather than the color of our skin or the winking of our eyes.

Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton were BOTH excoriated in the press -- liberal, conservative, international, anarchic, whatever. Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton were BOTH held to the same standard as their male counterparts.

The difference? Hillary Clinton actually has CREDENTIALS. Hillary Clinton has the grist to back it up. Sarah Palin has NOTHING but a questionable background, a failed governing policy, and a backwards way of thinking.

Can't blame others for what's clearly lacking in yourself, Sarah. Bottom line: YOU LOST. GET OVER IT.

Okay, a lot of people I know at school (age range maybe thirteen to sixteen?), though we don't even have the citizenship to vote, were outspoken about support for Obama. And in a country traditionally associated with political apathy, in a demographic traditionally associated with political apathy, politics suddenly became a really hot discussion topic.

Most of us don't wear pyjamas and don't have basements, ROFL. (Socio-cultural thing.) But we sure used the power of the internets, and we're kids.

I think Palin's being really dismissive of her next electorate... The more politically aware kids there are, blogging in their pyjamas in their parents' basements, the more hope there is for democracy everywhere! She's not thinking ahead, and it shows.

(Of course, this isn't meant to downplay all the serious political bloggers with their average age of 38 years! :P)
