Psychoanalysis of Sarah Palin

Don't forget Bush also claimed I'm going too change washington dc I'm an outsider and I have yet too see anybody defending the Bush admn. with truth any where on current. The outsider Bush realy did a slam
bang job over the last 8 years. Oh there I go again looking at the past, wait a minute thats what elections are about stay the course or change.

that's probably why they chose her - she's so far out of the loop of the real world, she'll agree to or say yes to anything - so the Bushdom will continue with McCain leading the charge and Palin following along behind and dusting up crumbs and fluffing pillows. scary. and what if mc cain doesn't make it through four years? he looks like he has one foot in the grave and the other on a skateboard. Prez palin? yeeeeeeeeikes!

In 1965 a minister wrote a book about the cartoon character - Charlie Brown - in the comic strip "Peanuts."

It was called "The Gospel According To Peanuts".

Do we need a revised version?

"The Gospel According To Dilbert".

It seems like everyone reads the strip. Everyone identifies the characters with people they know and work with. Everyone recognizes the incredible dysfunctionality of the cerebral snakepit we call the corporate world.

The same world which is led by people with the same thinking deficits and attitudes of the Palins and the McCains.

headed to my company meeting, where they still use the same "lingo". I will be playing the bingo on Tuesday and wednesday!!!

John A writes,

"She looks fine to me, but I haven't given my life and soul over to Barack Obama as my Lord and saviour.

I'd really like to see a psychoanalysis of him.... When will he be given only half the scrutiny she has been put under."

Hyperbole aside, you're almost right.

People pay no attention to the intelligent - like a Harvard grad summa cum laude - except to resent them. That's about it.

Conversely people do not understand stupidity because the lack of basic thinking skills seems an absurd state to be in.

Confronted with people trapped a state of always doing the wrong thing, it makes us laugh. The deeper our understanding of how humans operate when at higher capacity, the more the behavior of say, The Three Stooges, has us rolling in the aisles. How could anybody be that DENSE!

Here's where you're right. As soon as people encounter lack of basic intelligence they look to psychoanalysis to explain its characteristics

- such as
- lying, getting caught, and lying some more, .
- leaving a town $20 million in debt and claiming that as executive experience
- abuse of office
- prejudice and abuse of others who simply don't have the same value-system as an Alaskan mayor.
- the refusal to give straight answers and then asking to be trusted.

the list goes on.

Normally we just ignore dimly-lit, aggressive and overly pushy people because

a\ we don't know them
b\ we see that they are harmless
c\ they have no control over our lives.

But when an eccentric as far into the twilight zone as Governor Palin runs for the second highest office in America it raises questions.

Why is Jane Six-Pack, [so perfectly content to be a hockey mom and everyday millionaire] running for public office? Reform? The more her record is checked the less reform there is. And the less credibility for smarts she can claim.

A Hillary Clinton could walk into a room and within seconds know who to tap, who to avoid, who to stare down, and who to schmooze by pushing the right cognitive buttons.

Governor Palin doesn't know what a Vice President does and doesn't understand page one of economic military or foreign policy. That makes her a high risk if overseeing any such policies. She has no basis for weighing let alone making such decisions.

Worse, Governor Palin already has stated she wants more power in the VP's office.

That's like a gas-jockey saying, 'I wanna build me onea them nukulaer reactor things to run my basement train set.'

That's shrink territory. Or Three Stooges.

I read the "psychoanalysis". Why doesn't this site have any kind of quality filter?

The artical was pure opinion. It had nothing to do with psychoanalysis. I guess the author considers anyone who does not speak his lingo as mental.

Actual if you read between the lines, the artical is more cridical of the author, then Sarah.

The author sounds like a term from the 60's which was a pseudo-intellectual. The term pseudo-intellectual was a term for person with a little bit of know, or enough knowledge to make him dangerious.

The pseudo-intellectual, who wrote this artical used the term like "psychoanalysis" to make his opinions sound relevent.

Then he uses a half baked observation concerning Sarah mannerisms. Claiming that her mannerisms were out of the late 80's and early 90's.

Did you ever think, that Sarah was being herself?

I read the artical our pseudo-intellectual states "is dead on" , and there was not mention of psychoanalysis. The artical stated that Sarah was character from a George Saunders story about doppelganger from another era.

George Saunders stories are about people from different era's. I guess like the sitcom "Happy Days". My responce to this is "So what?". I do not understand what is wrong with Sarah's mannerisms.

It sounds like a strange way to condemn Sarah. I guess Sarah can not be herself.

There was another person who burst on the political scene, with that same home spun style, his name was REAGAN.

I'm going live cause at the end of the day you must do your due diligence! Thanks for the excellent link Raven6! Palinspeak is born!!!!!

She looks fine to me, but I haven't given my life and soul over to Barack Obama as my Lord and saviour. I'd really like to see a psychoanalysis of him. Amazing how rabid the hatred of Sarah Palin is among Obama worshipers. When will he be given only half the scrutiny she has been put under.

Right on Raven. I read this and all I could think of was the debate last night. Palinguese takes on a whole new meaning now. Thanks!

Yep . . . no rubes in the White House. Just Washington insiders who have served us so well to this point. Yep . . . Slate nails it. U Betcha!
