Palin cultists r dumm

Sarah Palin being a national laughingstock doesn't mean she doesn't have a cult of followers who are determined to make her President of the Universe. She's still one of the frontrunners for the 2012 GOP nomination, thanks to them.

Palinism is embodied by Team Sarah, a group of activists that describes itself as being "dedicated to advancing the values that Sarah Palin represents in the political process" (which I guess means censoring library books and illegally intervening to fire state troopers).

Team Sarah membership is "by approval only", and its website is full of password-protected pages. So they're pretty secretive.

Anybip, Team Sarah recently sent out an alert to members about a "phone bank blast" in which they planned to bombard the U.S. Capitol's switchboard to complain about health care reform. This event was supposed to take place from 2 to 3 PM EDT on October 12.

One problem with that, Palin peeps. October 12 was a national holiday. Nobody was working at the Capitol that day to field Team Sarah's calls.

This story showcases the wingnuts' trademark combination of babyishness and dumbness. Abusing the Capitol switchboard is a sign of their immaturity; doing it on a day when nobody was even there to take their calls is something else altogether.
