Crappy Hour with Spencer Ackerman, July 27, 2009
 
8:51
Spencer -  So I decided not to watch the Palin speech and instead just watch the tweets unravel. What did I miss?
8:53
Megan -  Apparently, she doesn't like Tara Reid. Or something. Also, everyone in Alaska   is fucking high as hell and God likes it that way.
8:55
Spencer -  “Some still are choosing not to hear why I’m charting a new course to advance this state,” she said, adding that “it should be so obvious to you.”

So the woman quits her job out of nowhere but you're the stupid one?
8:56
Spencer -  And if I can quote my boss, Laura McGann:

Palin ran through a laundry list of her accomplishments in office, including an ethics reform package (which, ironically, she now names as one reason for leaving office early, as “frivolous” complaints dog her)...
8:57
Megan -  See, the part about Alaska being baked brings it all into stark relief for me: I don't understand because I'm not high. I feel like if I call some stoner friends and recite the speech, they'll all nod their heads and be like, "Yeah, man, totally. Obvious."
8:57
Spencer -  This is admittedly an awesome slogan: “We eat, therefore we hunt.”
8:57
Spencer -  
8:59
Spencer -  Anyway, fuck this entire charade. I feel insulted by the idea that I have to take such a transparent maneuver concocted by a Coen Brothers' third-tier character as an actual political event. What else should we talk about.
9:00
Megan -  Wow, that is actually some of the most prescient Palin analysis I've read to date. That's another way that it all makes sense: she's living a Coen Brothers movie.
9:01
Spencer -  G'wan. So what should I know about health care reform this morning?
