I have documented the reasons Sarah Palin was appropriately given the nick-name “barracuda.” Giving Sarah a name describing a predator with sharp-edged, fang-like teeth which is voracious and opportunistic was a vivid and insightful way to describe the half-term ex-Governor.
Yesterday I learned another valuable lesson about barracudas and Sarah Palin. Both are cannibals, because they eat their own. The barracuda has the excuse that it doesn’t know if a smaller barracuda is its offspring. The barracuda is just hungry and the smaller barracuda may provide a tasty treat.
In the past, Sarah Barracuda insulted and attacked the “lame-stream” media for reporting facts. She called reporters child-molesters and puppy kickers.
Palin has also attacked President Obama for everything he has done from his Christmas card to his decision not to release the picture of a dead man with a hole in his face. She declared that the President should stop “pussy-footing around” and release the picture of Osama bin Laden’s body.
When Ginger White came forward and admitted to a 13 year sexual relationship with “Herb” Cain, apologizing to the wife and kids of Cain, Palin didn’t applaud her honesty or willingness to tell the truth. Instead she called her a “broad.”
Republican New Jersey Governor Chris Christie was elected in 2010, and has served as the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, meaning he has already served as Governor as long as Palin did before she resigned. Not only was Chris Christie a potential candidate for President, but he may be considered as a potential pick for Vice President. Christie recently gave an interview during which he referred to Newt Gingrich as an “embarrassment” to the party.
Even though Palin has not officially endorsed Gingrich, the barracuda went on the attack stating, “Well, you kind of get your panties in a wad and you may say things you regret later.” Palin’s comment towards Chris Christie was disrespectful and totally unnecessary. Christie was not commenting on Sarah Palin, and had not mentioned her in the conversation. Moreover, Palin’s attack this time was on a fellow Republican who has not quit the office his supporters elected him to fill. Christie was not attacking Palin and had not been disrespectful in his comments. He was making an observation, and telling the truth about Newt Gingrich who had embarrassed the Republican Party by being fined for violating the ethics code while Speaker of the House, and presiding over Bill Clinton’s impeachment proceedings while Newt was having an affair of his own…for the second time.
This was not the first time the barracuda has said something disrespectful.
Remember her “yo mama” outburst?
One of my favorites was her “WTF” moment.
Recently she used the word “dumbarse” ,as if her comment was more polite than simply saying “dumbass”.
Then who could forget Palin’s reference to the President’s testicles?
Karl Rove described Sarah Palin as thin skinned. Perhaps a voracious, opportunistic, cannibalistic predator would be more appropriate.

Still insulting everyone’s integrity I see. Does nothing embarass the GOP party? I mean really? Nothing? As a woman..total epic fail. I would be so mad as a GOP constituent every time they put her out their in the name of my party. Are all of their constituents really that dumb and racist & uncaring that they would vote blindly for ignorance and thereby deprive themselves of any future with such obvious ignorance? Really?

She is vulgar and common and I’m sick to death of her. I don’t like having the airwaves polluted with type of gutter talk.

Thank you for the concise wrap up of Sarah Palin’s solutions and hope for our great country. We can expect the above collective to the bullet list of her shinning moments.
Again, thank you for this piece. A factual wrap up of Palin’s behaviors towards moving our country forward.

Her comments and those of others remind me of a communist dictatorship.
There is not room for dissension in the party. The republican Congress has to vote unanimously on issues, anybody the does not is vilified.
I don’t like christie, but he has a right to his opinion. He is voicing what republicans that care about this country are afraid to voice out loud, the Newt Gingrich is a time bomb. Numerous people who have worked with him know how he operates and are afraid for this country.
He is a hypocrite both in his professional and personal life. His actions do speak louder then his rhetoric.

Palin is truly the ultimate embarrassment of the Republican Party. Gah, how can they stand her and her vulgar ways? Can you imagine if McCain had won???

So, you’re upset with her opinions and critical comments, while engaging in the same behavior concerning her. (ie using personal attacks and spreading unsubstantiated rumors and lies as your fuel)
I do have a different comment though. I went to middle school with Sarah and I have no idea where people are getting this barracuda name from. Sarah was the shyest person in the world. She spoke to friends and was friendly to those she didn’t know well or at all. I would love it if someone who knew her and was around then could explain the source of the nickname. I once read (I think) that her sister was the source, that she said it as a joke. But I can’t back that up.
Oh, and that puppy kicking quote was pure RAM. Re: her RAMS twitter.
And yo momma is racial slang? Uhhhh, ok. I’m pretty sure I’ve heard similar things from all politicians but whatever. That’s pretty tame and ridiculous to even mention. I enjoyed Obama’s “whos your daddy” better, though both are funny.
People need a sense of humor. It’s not healthy to always pick apart the littlest things. Ever wonder why people stereotype liberals as batshit, hippy, loons with no desire to callous their hands. Yes I made callous a verb. I do that frequently. Sue me.

Hi Laura Lee!
Besides changing word usage, you can apparently change the meanings of words too! A list of Mrs. Palin’s verbal gaffes, documented with video, somehow becomes personal attacks and unsubstantiated rumors and lies! Wow, how’d you do that? Amazing linguistic skills you have, that’s for sure.
Also, too, shyest person in the world means spoke to everyone and was friendly!
In case you’ve forgotten, Mrs. Palin made use of the barracuda theme herself during the 2008 campaign.
Then, of course, you end with an (indirect) insult list to the blog owner & readers. WE must be nicer but you will throw your insult bombs. BTW, my hands are covered with callouses (n. plural) and have been most of my life.
But lucky you, you KNOW Mrs. Palin personally!

What exactly are we’re supposed to think of your daring use of “callous” as a verb since “callous” actually can be used as a verb? Or perhaps you meant to write “callus” their hands and then toot your horn about your cleverness or quirkiness or whatever it is you’re tooting. Of course, “callus” can also be used as a verb, so basically you prove yourself neither clever nor quirky. I have a feeling you do that frequently. I won’t be suing you.

$arah is entitled to her ignorance and vapid bloviation of her bumper sticker slogans. What we are doing is exposing the vicious stupidity, and the lies that she continues to build her life on
IN 2008 she did nothing but rabble rouse, and goad crowds of “Rill Amerikans” to hatred and violence against anyone who wasn’t a white
working class Christian. Dog whistle much, she did.
Why does her house look exactly like the sports arena, including the internal railing systems and the windows?
How could she be stupid enough to think that anyone is going to accept that her water broke in Texas, and she flew back to Alaska, bypassing the NICU in Anchorage, and having a baby in the podunk hospital?
She’s quit when the going got tough, to go make money after several ethics violations. And Todd was palling around with the AIP!
Above all, she’s a serial liar, a divisive bomb thrower, and a savagely
ignorant boob.

“Yes I made callous a verb. I do that frequently.”
Stickin’ it to the liberal machine! Changin’ all those nouns to verbs and all.
Why you’re a radical, girl!! I can tell you march to a different drummer. I bet you don’t shave under your arms every day neither.

Laura Lee,
Consider that Sarah Palin is on a mainstream news channel in prime time speaking in such a way: pussy-footing, cramming down our throats, WTF?, panties in a wad. I try to imagine someone like Margaret Thatcher or Hillary Clinton speaking in such a manner. She is a disgusting, low class piece of trash and an embarrassment to her city, to her state, to her party, to her country and to her gender. She is a lying grifter loser who will lie about ANYTHING. She has a fricking company set up–Pie Spy, LLC.–so that she can make money off of using her “child” with a disability and her parents in her speeches to spread lies about our President. She is despicable. I and many others are just waiting for the day when all of her negativity, race-baiting, lying, grifting and goading ignorant people into violence (“Don’t retreat, Reload!”) catches up to her and she is humiliated, jailed or put in a padded room.
But I’m sure she was a shy girl in middle school.

Chris Christie was right on with his comments concerning Newt. His speaking the “truth” is what she didn’t like. Maybe it hit a little too close to home in regard to what she, the “ultimate rookie” has done, right down to monies she’d had to pay for violations? Sure sounded like projection to me. Everything she spouted sounded like she was describing herself for those of us who pay close attention.

Malia I think more than the crass comment about Governor Christie’s panties (a remark that is as disrespectful to a man as calling him a bitch) is the fact that she said he made a “rookie’s” mistake by criticizing eric cartman…err newt getrich. She has the audacity to call Chris Christie a rookie? She, who, quit her job as governor 1/2 way through and wasn’t able to answer “What do you read?” when asked by Katie Couric. She, who, considers herself this great republican politician but didn’t know what the “Bush Doctrine” was? Really? Seriously REALLY? I am so incredibly disgusted with this piece of human fodder I have resorted to defending Chris Christie and Ann Coulter…oh my dog, won’t someone please, oh please put the nail in this harridan’s coffin…

jcinco, I’m with you, sister! (or brother, no slight intended
I just cannot wait for her to be filmed doing the perp walk on her way to a federal penitentiary for a very long time.
If it makes you feel better, Shailey Tripp has two working titles for her book, which she says will be released in the next month or so:
“The top two are:
1. In the Shadows of Men: The true story about the sex scandal between Shailey Tripp and Todd Palin
2. In The Shadows of Men: The true story of Shailey Tripp’s relationship with Todd Palin and how she was coerced into prostitution ”
So, at the very least, Sarah Palin will have to face the airing of her husband’s participation in soliciting a prostitute and running a prostitution ring and the resultant humiliation on how unassuming, candid and honest Shailey comes off as. Plus, we might get lucky: Sarah might finally sue instead of just making idle threats!

Thanks Karen. I so hope the folks in Alaska who have the dirt on her realize if they unite they can bring her down. I’m lighting candles in hopes that after Chris Christie thinks about the trash she flung at him, in essence questioning his manhood and saying he is a naive rookie, he will get angrier and angrier. I hope he gets so angry he lashes out at her. He is a rising star in the republican party, she is a has-been used up contraceptive sponge…

“The vulgar bitch of Wasilla”. Like that better than Barracuda, which was used by her handlers? Recall the song Barracuda that they used in the campaign of 2008, and the singers and writers protesting? No????
Lucky us. We don’t know her personally. A plus.
The Vulgar woman who like to call men, impotent, limp, etc. is one of the most disliked women in America, and abroad one of the most disliked of American woman.
Loudmouthed and Stupid, Sarah Palin SHY?.
Apparently you know best?
She has one of the biggest mouths in the U.S.A. Republican party, and is as much of an embarrassment as Newt.
LOL. SHY????
Christie could take her apart in 3 minutes, because he is smart and articulate. Sarah Palin is dumb and gross. And while I don’t like Christie all that much, I wish he would dismantle her fake persona, but he declined to respond.

The rock band called Heart called lawyers to prevent Sarah Palin and the McCain campaign from playing their song “Barracuda” as her anthem.
Remember
As far as Sarah Palin and her vulgarity, it is pretty much documented, down to her “dumbarrse”, etc tireades. “so Sambo beat the Bitch?” etc. Pretty tough bitch herself isn’t she now?

Sarah Palin was appropriately given the nick-name “barracuda.”
Little is known about this other trivia fact but my mom was called that name in high school for her sexual behaviors.
Just ask Glen Rice.

That must be why she is called a cougar now?

Actually, what Sarah Palin is today is what we are addressing, not someone 30 or more years ago.
I wish someone would duct tape that big , eternally yapping vulgar loons mouth. Since Faux won’t, it is up to us bloggers to say “Why don’t you shut up and sit down?” Shy, shy retiring little nobody, that you are according to the Fairy Tale troll.
