Sarah Palin’s Egyptian Verbal Diarrhea

She’s STILL talking!

A couple days ago I tried to make sense of Sarah Palin’s verbally craptastic criticism of Obama’s handling of the situation in Egypt.

Well today, the Internet Lords have blessed us with more bullshit from Our Lady of Lock and Load, and it’s even more funny, gastrically distressing, mind-numbing blisteringly stupid than I could have imagined.  Once more unto the breach, dear friends:

“Remember, President Reagan lived that mantra trust but verify. We want to be able to trust those who are screaming for democracy there in Egypt, that it is a true sincere desire for freedoms. And the challenge that we have though, is how do we verify what it is that we are being told, what it is that the American public is being fed via media, via the protestors, via the government there in Egypt in order for us to really have some sound information to make wise decisions on what our position is. Trust but verify, and try to understand is what I would hope our leaders are engaged in right now. Who’s going to fill the void? Mubarak, he’s gone, one way or the other. He is not going to be the leader of Egypt. That’s a given. So now the information needs to be gathered and understood as to who it will be that fills now the void in the government. Is it going to be the Muslim Brotherhood? We should not stand for that, or with that or by that. Any radical Islamists, no that is not who we should be supporting and standing by. So we need to find out who was behind all of the turmoil and the revolt and the protests so that good decisions can be made in terms of who we will stand by and support.”

“Remember, President Reagan lived that mantra trust but verify. [Will the Reagan-fellating ever end?  Besides, I thought he lived the mantra "make shit up; remember nothing."] We want to be able to trust those who are screaming for democracy there in Egypt ["We"? Who is "we"?  In fact, who the fuck are you, exactly?], that it is a true sincere desire for freedoms [right, because they are risking their lives right now in the hopes that they will be further repressed]. And the challenge that we have though, is how do we verify what it is that we are being told [I would suggest reading and resear-- never mind], what it is that the American public is being fed via media [This concern makes sense; you work for Fox News after all and nothing you and your cronies feed the American public is anything close to the truth], via the protestors [only a person who deals in propaganda and lies would be concerned about whether the protestors themselves are, at best, a bunch of ignorant dipshits and, at worst, an army of liars and charlatans intent on overthrowing the government for no good fucking reason -- wait, are we talking about Egypt?], via the government there in Egypt [only a government official -- pardon me -- an ex-government official known for lying, ethical breaches, and shady underhanded dealings would be concerned about a public being fed lies] in order for us to really have some sound information to make wise decisions on what our position is [um, what is this "us" shit? "our position"? Listen up Sarah: YOU ARE NOBODY.  You're a half-term, half-witted, quitter, bereft of any intelligence or common sense. Every decision you make is unwise, so do us all a favor: sit down and STFU.] Trust but verify, and try to understand is what I would hope our leaders are engaged in right now [::blank stare::]. Who’s going to fill the void?  [In your head? I'm afraid that's a lost cause.] Mubarak, he’s gone, one way or the other. He is not going to be the leader of Egypt. That’s a given. [Oh is it? Now you're an expert in foreign policy?  I'll tell you what's a given: you don't have a fucking clue what you are talking about.  I'll give you a dollar if you can locate Egypt on a map.  Can't do it?  Didn't think so.] So now the information needs to be gathered and understood as to who it will be that fills now the void in the government. Is it going to be the Muslim Brotherhood? [Here we go... any organization that has the world "Muslim" in it must be Al Qaeda -- except not really.***] We should not stand for that, or with that or by that. [or on that, or around that, or between that, or next to that.] Any radical Islamists, no that is not who we should be supporting and standing by [or supporting and standing around].  So we need to find out who was behind all of the turmoil and the revolt and the protests [um... how about 83 million Egyptian people?!] so that good decisions can be made in terms of who we will stand by and support. [::stabs self in neck::]“

As with Palin’s earlier statement about Egypt, this statement contains another delicious Freudian slip: “So we need to find out who was behind all of the turmoil and the revolt and the protests” -- because you see, the morons who are pretending they are going to affix anti-aircraft gunners to their electric scooters in order to take their country back were purposefully riled up by a bunch of rich assholes ::cough cough Koch brothers cough cough::; and Sarah, therefore believes that those who are protesting in Egypt may be doing so based upon false information since that’s how it works in these united states.

Looky here, y’all — Tea Party populism is a lie. It’s fake. It’s a distraction. The Tea Partiers are pawns in a chess game being played out by powerful people at the expense of these dimwitted fools. The Teabaggers continue to support economic policies that actively are destroying their lives; they continue to rail against a healthcare bill that will inure to their benefit; they continue to believe that Obama has raised their taxes; they continue to believe that somehow if they keep allowing the rich to stomp on their heads, maybe someday they will be lucky enough to be rich and they can stomp with glee on some other poor sucker’s head.

Palin’s statement is amazing, not because it has any meaning (it doesn’t) or makes any sense (it doesn’t) but because it confirms that (at least in her mind) the Tea Party Express is nothing more than a propaganda engine.

Behold!  The power of Stupid:

***In responding the ZOMG! MOOSLIMZ!! fear tactics, it is so much easier to defer to people who know about these things, like Dr. Samer Shehata, a professor at Georgetown University, who appeared on The Colbert Report last week:

So, in conclusion, Sarah Palin?  SHUT UP!
