The Palienation Of The Teabag Right Wing

Your Neologism of the day:

pa•li•en•a•tion: (noun) The word that describes that betrayed feeling you get after waiting multiple hours in the rain and cold with two copies of a ghostwritten book by an archconservative former governor, when you discover that she's decided to swan on out of there because she's just too fabulous and divalicious to be seen with you any more.

An example of palienation:

I just spent 9 hours of my day, $40 of my hard earned money on two of your books, and took the whole day off work to watch you jump on a bus and throw a half-heated wave to the crowd you were avoiding.

I have never felt so disrespected. How can you claim that you are different? You aren’t. You are just as selfish as everyone else in Washington. It breaks my heart. I thought you might be the answer to the turmoil this country is under but you aren’t. You just slapped hundreds of Hoosiers in the face. The hard working type of people that you claim to represent.

You say in your book that you chose to sleep well over eating well. At the end of the day I know that you don’t care that you wasted the whole day of some 20 year old college student who lives on their own. I understand that all that matters is that I spent my money on two of your books. I’m sure your eating well. You certainly have no reason to be sleeping well.

Well, we tried to tell you she was a big phony. It ain't about you; it's about her, which is classic diva. And there you are all wet and cold with two books with signature stickers in 'em that are just as good as the real thing, and you're feeling like kind of a tool.

I don't know about any of you guys, but I'm torn between schadenfreude and pity here.

How's that rogue workin' out for you guys?
