"That would actually be a rather tiny elephant" ROTFLMAO

Sarah Palin's scorched-earth plan for the GOP

by Neil MacDonald, CBC News

http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/sarah-palin-s-scorched-earth-plan-for-the-gop-1.2938402

"SNIP......................


At one point she shouted "Screw the left in Hollywood!" And she complained about how even some Republicans are buying into "this unhealthy new obsession … about this subjective income gap that we're supposed to be so obsessed about right now."

She came close to suggesting conservative Republicans rip up their cards and register as independents in order to punish the party leadership, then seemed to abandon the idea.

She referred to the "800-pound elephant in the room of the White House that the radical left won't even name."

That would actually be a rather tiny elephant, but she was happy to name it anyway
: "Any Muslim who would choose evil." And then she made a declaration so incoherent it made international news.

bad combo.

Someone put it well earlier today... brain-falling-out-of-mouth I think it was.

I think she gets all woozy (or makes her head swell) when the lights shine on her too, not a good addition to the already bad combo mentioned above.

memory issue. I am and sometimes don‘t make sense. But I‘m not running for president. And my intellect is fine. Hers is completely lacking. And she doesn‘t read.

I also found out it is tied to dysgraphia. Have learned to print, look up spelling and try to think about what I'm about to say. I have to thank a Anthropology instructor I had in college for pointing it out to me.

I, also would not run for president.

Can't be. I saw Christie attending a football game and he isn't 800-pounds, yet.

But those metaphors don't even stand for the same problem.

but I don't think he meant to be funny.

So I take it this article is "friendly fire" against Palin, so to speak.
