When you’re famous, you have to do things like, I don’t know, wash thoroughly under the arms, wear things that match, and, when things get really crunched, maintain a schedule.
On the other hand, if you’re a disgruntled, semi-employed Indianan, you needn’t do any of those things and, judging by the crowd in Noblesville, you assume is that nobody else does, either. Here’s what Jordan Harris of the latter camp had to say about his experience waiting for Sarah Palin to sign his copy of Going Rogue at the local Barnes and Noble:
I just spent 9 hours of my day, $40 of my hard earned money on two of your books, and took the whole day off work to watch you jump on a bus and throw a half-heated wave to the crowd you were avoiding.
Well Jordan, there’s your first mistake three mistakes right there. Apparently, a lot of looney toon Repubs were vewy angwy with Ms. Palin yesterday, because she didn’t have time to sit around with them and sign books for a way, way over-capacity crowd, many of whom — like Jordan — waited hours and hours to see her. She had, you see, another stop to make. So they booed a lot, which you can watch here. Then they went online and bitched a lot.
That seems to be the formula these days, for the wingnuts. Its sort of, come to think of it, the same charicature the right wing drew of the left, before we stole all of their power and totally ruined the party. Goes something like this:
Get a big crowd.
Make lots of noise.
Become disgruntled.
Go on the internet.
Trouble is, its a little bit difficult to take seriosuly those who apply the same vitriol to, say, the health care debate as they do a missed opportunity to meet the single-handed destructor of the GOP’s national ticket. But whatever, as long as they’re having fun.
This post expresses a form of sympathy for Sarah Palin, so we got a Drudge Siren to draw attention to it.
