The American Spectator

Wow Shawn!
You really had to strain at gnats on this one. You wrote that you were a bigger fan of this rag (present tense), than you are of Sarah.
That does truly show how stupid you are. Thanks for reminding us.

Ditto Ken!!
Stupid is as stupid does.

Unfortunately, it's too easy to believe Palin satire because the woman herself is so ridiculous. One of Tina Fey's SNL skits actually quoted Palin verbatim. (The long, rambling, crazy quote about Putin rearing his head over Alaskan airspace...)

What's ridiculous is to use the lazy stupidity of US Weekly as an excuse to attack Sarah Palin. Says more about your idiocy than it does about her.

Ken, Paul: You're welcome! I strive for total transparency, but since people keep paying me for this stuff sometimes I wonder if I fully convey the full extent of my idiocy. It's good to come to the comment section of a blog post and be reassured, yes, close observers are aware I am a moron.

As for Sarah, I was blown away, like many others, by her convention speech. But in the interim, between Facebooking and quitting her job, you do know she had a crossover episode of her reality television show where her and Kate of Kate and Jon Plus Eight hung out in the woods, right?

I guess the real question isn't why do I read--indeed, subscribe!--to US Weekly, but why the fans of a overexposed ex-politician reality star who has become less coherent than the average Lindsay Lohan court appearance don't as well.

Gosh, Shawn,
Thanks again. Why don't you tell us how you really think about Sarah. Heh.

PS: I certainly do not think you are "moron". A moron cannot help his limitations. Isuggested that you are "stupid". The definition of stupid is "knowing better and doing or saying something anyway".
Sir, in the above article, and even more so in your rebuttal, you have written stupidly.

I of course have no idea of your age, but you 'write' very young, if I may mis-use an adjective.
You, a piss-ant columnist, sit and write the talking points of the lunatic leftist about a woman who has accomplished more in her short life than you will ever accomplish should you live to be eighty.

I have accomplished quite a lot, starting with an education at Baylor University, two fortune CEO stints, and a number one world wide bestseller.

Honestly, I stand in awe of the woman. With literally millions of yappy dogs, like you here, nipping at her ankles, she has kept her composure.

I am certainly not a Sarah groupie. I simply admire hell out of her forthright honesty and insight....and courage...
and...her ability to earn money for her kids, cleaning fish, or shooting travelogues.

Best comment so far on Christine Aguilera that I've read: "Johnny Winter in drag".

A news article falsely imputes quotes to Sarah Palin. Shawn MaComber points this out and suggests that the left's willingness to accept the quotes as legitmate is an example of confirmation bias, that is they see what they expect, not what actually is. How is this an attack on Sarah Palin, exactly?

Ken (Old Texican)| 2.10.11 @ 1:07PM

Ken,
Read Shawn's rebuttal to me. Read how he describes Sarah. How did you do in reading comprehension class anyway?

Patriot| 2.10.11 @ 1:11PM

It's irritating to see Macomber use the obvious idiocy of a US Weekly hitpiece as a roundabout way to attack Sarah Palin. It's chickensh!t.

I couldn't care less if you dislike Palin, Shawn, just be a man about it.

Patriot| 2.10.11 @ 1:13PM

I've read and liked Macomber for a long time, but his post makes him sound like a punk.

Shawn Macomber| 2.10.11 @ 1:50PM

You've all got me wrong. This isn't a diss on Palin, it's an explanation of what a fantastic magazine I believe US Weekly to be.

Nevertheless, a critique by an international best selling author in the comments section of a Thursday a.m. blog post is as priceless as it is unexpected, so I appreciate the efforts of all involved and will explain this moron/stupid thing to my wife this evening on your behalf...

Also, I'd be a man about IT, but that would defeat the purpose of blogging.

Have a super day all!

Patriot| 2.10.11 @ 2:50PM

You punk you!

Ken (Old Texican)| 2.10.11 @ 2:16PM

Shawn, If you have kids at home, send me an e-mail at sales@texassaidno.com

I will send you a complimentary copy of my bestseller on child-rearing....IF you will keep my name in confidence.
I also wrote "Texas Said NO!" (to sharia law) which will put terrorists on my front porch.
