As expected, Sarah Palin took the microphone in Ames, Iowa Tuesday evening to deliver her endorsement of Donald Trump, who quietly stood to the side of the stage. Palin was by any measure fired up and managed to touch on just about every possible campaign issue. “Moderately conservative” Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker imagined a confounded Trump was struggling to follow along.
Trump is listening hard and trying figure out what this strange creature from Alaska is talking about. Trying to gauge damage. Oh dear.

.@kathleenparker You refer to her as a creature. Did she wrong you in some way? Or are you just an ugly, miserable person?

@kathleenparker you are so detached from the conservative base it is comical – YOU are the problem.

Palin is not only a creature, but an insane creature.
I hope John McCain is watching this train wreck. #palinisinsane

So happy I'm only watching this on Twitter because I wanted to retain one brain cell to help my kid do her math

Glad I have an errand to run so that I don’t have to watch Palin switch off the tea party’s life-support machine

Palin's deranged pep edges tantalizingly close to Dean scream territory.

There is a pickle maker somewhere watching this Palin endorsement press conference who just found a title for his memoir: Art of the Dill

Palin has been in this late-stage Amy Winehouse phase for at least three years.

Palin has been an embarrassment since she left Alaska. Trump doing us a service by exposing the frauds in our movement.

If you didn't realize Palin was a fraud just in it for herself until today, you might want to ask yourself why and who else is fooling you.
