My personal favorite was only a runner up, but you can read the best of the best Palinesque whimsies here.

“The minute I was on that stage in Florida with all those lights in my eyes and the smell of Alaska still on my fingertips and my family, too, all around out there, I was where I dreamed of all those years on the basketball court and in Alaskas’s God given beauty which we must cherish and use as God gave it us to use and in honor of the troops, also.”

She certainly resonates as a beat poet…

Sarah Palin, she of the frozen tundra where they appear to suffer from constant ‘foot in mouth’ disease is once again scrambling to explain she had good cause to put her foot in her mouth. Defending her claims of ‘death panels’ Palin once again posted to her Facebook page another Rube Goldberg contortion for her outrageous exploitation of her own Down syndrome son.

In her posting, Palin wrote: “With all due respect, it’s misleading for the president to describe this section as an entirely voluntary provision that simply increases the information offered to Medicare recipients,” and added, “It’s all just more evidence that the Democratic legislative proposals will lead to health care rationing.”

Oregon Rep Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) spoke out vehemently against such irresponsible rhetoric calling it ‘mind numbing’.

Blumenauer called the comments despicable and part of an orchestrated effort by Republicans to discredit the health care overhaul and scare seniors.

In nearly four decades of public life, “this is the starkest example I’ve ever seen of how, if we’re not careful, political discourse dissolves into some type of partisan cage-fighting, where there are no rules and anything goes,” said Blumenauer, 60.

Even Republicans are appalled by her perpetuation of the ‘death panel’ myth.

Georgia Sen. Johnny Isakson, a Republican who co-sponsored a similar measure in the Senate, said it was “nuts” to claim the bill encourages euthanasia.

Sarah Palin should really ‘quit making things up’.

UPDATE: There is a new verb in the political lexicon ‘Palinize’ and Republican Michelle Bachmann does some fund raising so that she will not be Palinized.

Meanwhile the democrats, not to be outdone are also using Palin to raise funds

the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is using Palin’s “death panels” claim in a fundraising plea to supporters, calling the former governor’s statement “disgusting” and “outrageous.”

Also, Michael Scherer lets Palin have it as well

The former Alaskan governor, Sarah Palin, better explains today why she is concerned about President Obama’s support for allowing doctors to offer living will consultations to patients with government funding. It is, I believe, a must read, if only as an exercise in logic. Palin is arguing in plain terms that doctors cannot be trusted to give advice to patients, a rather stunning turn.

Jon Stewart and his band of death panel elitists do a superb job of exposing the lunacy being perpetrated on behalf of the health insurance and pharmaceutical industries.

Enraged Americans use town hall meetings to voice their anger over the health care process, and Sarah Palin speaks out against Obama’s plan to kill her baby.

Politico tackles it handily as well

It doesn’t matter what you say, as long as it is over the top and beneath contempt.

“Adolf Hitler, like Barack Obama, also ruled by dictate,” Limbaugh said. “Hitler said he didn’t need to meet with his Cabinet; he represented the will of the people. He was called the messiah. He said the people spoke through him.”

Which means, I guess, if Hitler were alive today, he would be a talk show host.

This debate is hysterically funny, well worth watching

Sam Bee fights for private death panels, John Oliver believes in universal death panels, and Aasif Mandvi wants whatever scares the public most.

William Shatner performs Sarah Palin’s farewell speech to a rhythmic beat… too funny

In her final speech as governor, Sarah Palin criticizes the media, denounces Hollywood and makes veiled Ashley Judd references. Comedy Central will miss having Palin around, they don’t even have to hire writers to mock her, they just quote her verbatim.

What a piece of work this woman really is. What a whiny ass piece of fluff. Using the troops to strike up sympathy because she has been reported by the media for her own incompetence, quoted verbatim in fact, is an insult to all military families.

Real women can stand on their own, what a complete ‘pussy’.

The Daily Show and Samantha Bee cover the Sarah Palin resignation.
