Quote of the Week (Honorable Mention)


"More than once in my travels in Alaska, people brought up, without prompting, the question of Palin’s extravagant self-regard. Several told me, independently of one another, that they had consulted the definition of 'narcissistic personality disorder' in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders—'a pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy'—and thought it fit her perfectly. When Trig was born, Palin wrote an e-mail letter to friends and relatives, describing the belated news of her pregnancy and detailing Trig’s condition; she wrote the e-mail not in her own name but in God’s, and signed it 'Trig’s Creator, Your Heavenly Father.'"

-- Vanity Fair National Editor Todd Purdum, from his article on Sarah Palin in the magazine's August issue

In the history of American politics, has there been anyone more 'less qualified' and extremely unpresidential? Perhaps I don't know my presidential history very well, but I would appreciate any nominees.

(Chez, PLEASE fucking rip the Ft. Worth police dept. in their "raid" on the gay bar that was open for only 14 days and where a young kid is laying in a hospital)

If you read the DSM-IV criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder and then study her behavior since she splattered onto the stage, you'll be convinced. Seen in the context of NPD, it all makes sense.

Trig.... will she have him stuffed at some point?

She should sign everything like that. "Regards, Bristol's Baby Daddy, Your Heavenly Father".

I hope no one buys the magazine because she is in it, and I am absolutely sick of hearing about her. Where is that picture where the woman is looking in the Vanity Mirror and instead it looks like a donkey? Can't we see that instead of her face?

Meanwhile, in a hushed aside to Jesus, God whispers, "Jesus Christ, I've created a monster. Next time I get the bright idea to create someone like Sarah, promise me you'll crucify me back, 'kay?"

I still think the baby is not hers.
