The Daily Throat Chop: Sarah Palin

Spread it!

I’ve decided that I’m going to write a book. It’s going to be brilliant and I’ll call it, “Shyt I wish I would have done but didn’t, so now I’m writing this book.” It’s kind of like a how to guide by a person who did not. Yeah, kind of like Sarah Palin’s book. And for that, she gets the Daily Throat Chop (with an honorable mention throat chop to the book’s publisher).

There has been a lot of buzz surrounding this Sarah Palin’s book, Going Rouge. The book hasn’t even been released yet and is already a top seller, with Palin taking the act on the road with a media tour to promote it. Please, someone STOP THIS MADNESS!

What type of world gives fools reality television shows and the others book deals? Oh, perhaps the same world that gives people like me a blog [lol].

I remember when I first heard about Palin. I had just gotten off a plane and there was the text, “ALASKA GOVERNOR SARAH PALIN TO BE MCCAIN’S RUNNING MATE”. What?! I wasn’t buying the soccer mom-lipstick-pitbull metaphor or whatever that was. I wasn’t buying the Fargo down home folksy thing either. But folks just gobbled it up. They couldn’t get enough. I was even confused by her children’s names. I guess in white communities, Track, Bristol, Willow, Piper and Trig are common (well, maybe just in Alaska). I suppose black crazy folks name their kids after athletes, singers and alcohol (allegedly) and white crazy folks name their kids after characters in Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia. Interesting.

Disclaimer: Sarah Palin being a woman has nothing to do with my opposition. No sexism over her, thanks. My opposition of her is based on the fact that she’s just another morale crusader, who doesn’t have her house in order either and at the end of the day, she’s a quitter. Yeah, I said a quitter. Remember when she left her job as Governor because she wasn’t going to seek reelection? What type of nonsense is that? Yeah, it didn’t make much sense to me either. I remember reading her decision to leave office was “in part to protect her family, which has faced withering criticism and occasional mockery, and to escape ethics probes that have drained her family’s finances and hampered her ability to govern” (according to The Washington Post). Blah, blah, blah … quitter! Criticism and occasional mockery sounds like the life of a politician and stretches to reach your family. Sarah, if you can’t stand the heat stay out of the kitchen. Furthermore, you put yourself and family in the spotlight and continue to do so. Sarah, what does quitting say about your character and ability to complete a job? Does it say you were bitter about losing the vice presidency and wanted to move on to bigger and better things? And you may want to run for President in 2012? Gtfoh! What have you really done? Please.

Let me put this in the simplest terms possible, if you buy Going Rouge, I hope your autobiography will be called “Going Stupid” or perhaps “Gone Stupid”. And if you buy this book I hope you also know that you will share a throat chop with the former Governor of Alaska! Hey, maybe that’s your dream. I don’t need to read this book to know that it will be a complete waste of the pages that it was printed on. No thanks. I’m straight.

So, Sarah Palin, former Governor, 2012 Presidential hopeful, soccer pitbull mom with lipstick (or whatever) … you betcha this the daily throat chop goes to you!

About image above: The Nation is placing copies of a very similar looking title called Going Rouge: Sarah Palin, An American Nightmare on the same shelves in hopes that some clueless buyer will pick up the wrong book. The unofficial book from The Nation is filled with essays bashing the former Alaska Governor and also pictures Sarah Palin on the cover.
