Palin: I’m “Anxious” To Get Back To “Slaying Salmon”
In her rambling resignation speech, Sarah Palin promised to update us in the coming days on her reasons for quitting. Now we have the latest rationale from the Bailin’ Barracuda: She wants to get back to killing fish.
Palin’s latest Tweet refers thusly to her husband, a commercial fisherman:
Grateful Todd left fishing grnds to join me this wkend; but now he’s back slaying salmon & working the kids @ the site; anxious to join ‘em!
The most polarizing politicians tend to possess a unique talent for pissing off roughly half the country every time they open their mouths, and Palin rarely disappoints.
Incidentally, it’s also worth recalling that Palin keeps a huge stuffed bear in her office. Click to enlarge:

She may as well have said, “I think I’m really going to like this lame duck thing, even if it is only for a couple weeks.”
Greg, it fits in with your dominance theory. She can’t dominate the national press or the Alaska legislature. But she sure can dominate the wildlife.
hah, thanks, Kathleen. Love it. And Danp, maybe for Palin “lame duck” means a duck that’s slower and easier to kill?
“Slaying”. Like David and the giant Goliath. Like Saint George and the huge dragon. Like a psychological worker and Sarah’s looming pathology. (p.s. on another subject, it’s worth noting the tea bags sinking with nary a whisper)
It is said that the cruelest, harshest karmic fate of all awaits those who kill animals for sport, and those who abuse children. I think Cruella Wasilla qualifies on both counts.
Sarah Palin could be the most annoying person who ever lived.
As a fisherman, I think she may be using the term “slaying” to mean “catching.” I and most others I know practice catch and release but still use terms like that when we have good days on the water.
Could there be something a little more sordid that “slaying” creatures? She hardly seems to be the type who would quit while a small group of people are worshipping her (poor misled souls). She’s without question not only annoying, but plain ole not too bright! Could she have done something stupid and doesn’t want it to come out? I’m staying tuned …
Rash Limbaw and Sean InsHannity need to be very, very concerned right now. The confused beauty queen may very shortly appear with her own daily wingnut screech-fest on Fock Snooze, vying for the title of #1 ****-spewing, brain-dead right-wing, screaming-skull extremist. Wutsamatta, boys — afraid of a little “competition”?
Well, ding dong, the witch is dead – as dead as that bear.
BWAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
This is a silly critique. If, as I suspect, these Salmon are headed upstream, they’re going off to spawn and die. It’s not horrifying to take a handful of them as they head up.
Really, unless you’re all vegan, I think this is a glass houses moment.
Funny, I thought global warming was taking care of the overpopulation of salmon. Was she planning on helping out the “problem”?
Greg Sargent is a vegetarian?
