While Researching Republican Sociopathy, A Strange Thing Happened to Me, Today.
Google returned a hit back to this page, as number 10 of it's top 10 hits. Although I am flattered, I still would prefer to have greater access to more academic data, instead of now being able to circumloquatiously refer back to my own self. But still, I should know better, specifically that sociopathy is not the approved clinical term, so I should tweak my search string:
republican + party + social + pathology
Ahh, that's better. But before I start even looking for valuable nuggets in the new vein, I want to just throw out the following observation, based on watching Sociopathic Succubus Sarah's videos (and reading commentary), and particularly, from watching vid of The Coultergeist from her recent book whoring tour, specifically and most recently, her nasty assed performance on the View, from yesterday. In short, she was rude to all, particularly Barbara Walters. She did noticeably pull her punches while engaging Whoppi. Coulter, as a genuine sociopath, might lack real empathy, but she does understand the need for self preservation, even while in the middle of her hateful shtick.
But I digress; back to the point. I noticed that Coulter, then (but more noticeable in that vid where Al Franken destroys her lame, but falsely self valued as witty point about what in history they would change), and as well, Succubus Sarah, (Particularly in the more disastrous interviews) have "tells." Now I should mention the difference in "performance skills" of the two sociopathic shrews. Coulter is actually much better at ad lib, off the cuff remarks. Mostly, I believe that is due to her lawyer training (study your stuff), and the fact she writes her own nonsense, and lastly, that since her nonsense is often time extreme, all she has to do is throw out something more extreme, when she runs out of, or decides to move past the prepared, over studied material. But Succubus Sarah is someone with at least if not better than average retention skills, but she does not really produce her own material in the same way that Coutler does.
In short, even if her mind is the metaphorical embodiment of the 7th circle of Hell, Coulter can think; she possess a fully functional, even if evil mind. Palin is a not a thinker. She lacks the credible and flexible ability to deviate, to devise, to adapt, to respond to changes in the plan and find a new workable solution on the spot, and implement it. That is why usually when cornered, or at least well met in the joust, Coulter reverts to greater snark, if not insult, if not excessively over the top anti social declarations. Even if it broadcasts her dysfunction loudly and clearly, as anti social thoughts and behaviours are the kernel of sociopathy, she uses it not only as a shield but as a sword, at times. It is almost as if she is daring her opponents to call her out on how sick a person she not only really is, but really obviously is. But she will crash and burn. In that exchange with Al Franken I posted a few days ago? It is clear that although she smugly thought about the smattering of approval she would get for the FDR bash, but she did not think one move ahead. And Franken adapted, and she was left with out even a sociopathic anti social retort. The look on her face says it all; fwk I am cornered. Freeze. MUST FIND WAY OUT.
Saying touché never crossed her mind, I am sure. And that is the easiest way to get out of the corner. But sociopaths don't congratulate their sparring partners for earning a point; they fantasize about jumping them from behind, or poisoning their food, on another day.
And back to Succubus Sarah. Again, she lacks the skills of the polished debater. Like my well respected Pythonian, John Cleese observes in that vid I posted back in October or so, Palin is like a pretty parrot who does not know what the words she utters mean. That is why she crashed and burned in so many of those interviews. She can deliver a prepared speech, but she can not engage in a battle of wits with anyone smarter than a toddler. But instead of how Coulter looks, when cornered, Palin panics and flails. She is so, and falsely, enamored of her own weak charms that she falsely believes that as long as she has a stream of words coming out of her mouth, she will come across as cute and/or slyly seductive. Even at this late date, and even if she herself had the presence of mind to review those tapes, she still can not see that no, she ain't that charming, or cute, or slyly seductive when she has to think on her feet like that. She comes across as a witless disaster in expensive shoes and makeup. And again, I mention lawyer skills -- it is not ego to watch your performance over and over in order to improve it; it is ego not to do that, but instead rely on your own self delusional belief that you are indeed all that and a bag of chips.
Granted, I have not gone too deep in analysis here, but at least I have drawn and shown a contrast between the two. When Coulter is cornered, she shuts up (if only then.) When Palin feels cornered, she blabbers and blubbers and will not shut up. They are total opposites as far as their tells, go. But make no mistake; both are serious sociopaths. Both are cunning ( at least in the ability to get as far as they have to day), self centered, at best superficially charming, not really interested in any other living person, non-empathetic human monsters, who are willing to go to extremes of meanness and cruelty to get what they want.
And Republicans stand up and cheer for these two.
And that is why I curse Republicans; sociopathy should not be exalted, but should be identified as the huge threat to society it truly is, and those who indulge in it should not be rewarded, or allowed to profit from it, but instead, they should be shunned.
Opps. I never got to my new vein of research. It will be there later, though.
Edit to Add:
IT'S ALL ABOUT MEEEE! SARAH!
Now way back in September or October might have been the first time I described the Palin family/world as trailer trash reality TV. Remember. That was before news was out that the (still only, since as far as we know there has been no wedding yet) baby-daddy was dropping out of school, and before his momma's arrest for multiple narcotics felonies. Now at this point I am almost willing to drop that description in favor of calling it more like some really badly written soap opera story line. But I will stick to trailer trash reality TV. Again, stoned Hollywood/Manhattan TV writers would have a hard time making this shit up. Ok not really. But this is real life, so I will stick with the reality TV theme.
Anyway, here is the latest installment in "Real Life with Sarah Palin." This is the content of an email exchange she had with the editor of the Anchorage Daily News.
I could repeat what I said a few days ago only, about trying to imagine who would be in the room with her, in order for Palin to be the smartest person in the room, or I can run with the new one.
Given the Newspaper angle, I will make the point as a Faux Headline:
ALASKA GOVERNOR PALIN
GOES HEAD TO HEAD
AGAINST NEWSPAPER EDITOR.
NO WONDER SHE HATES THE
"ELITIST" MEDIA.
Making Her Look Bad, by Making Her Make Herself Look Bad, by Being Smarter and More Honest Than Her.

Ya. I know the first bit is about Levi being described as a high school drop out. But what do you think she was more concerned about? His feelings about being seemingly accurately described as a drop out, or the fact it makes her look like Governor Trailer Trash, Reality TV Star, to not only have a bastard for a grandchild, but the bastard child of a high school drop out. Um make that two high school drop outs. Didn't the fruit of her own womb, the mommy, also drop out of school?
Honestly, these Republicans, sociopathic or otherwise afflicted, really have deep problems with the actual dictionary meanings of actual words. Maybe we should borrow a term that is more closely associated with the world of racing? DNF; did not finish. Not much better. Better clean that up some. DNFY; did not finish, yet. Or maybe WFS; will finish someday. Or maybe . . . .
(I herein invite you all to make up your own bullshit, deceptive way to describe it when someone stops going to high school before finishing the required work and earning a diploma. It's fun!)
