Sarah the Quitter Twitter: "Abnormalities" and Policy Trends

By GottaLaff

Abnormalities in Sarah the Quitter's Tweets are the norm for someone as abnormal as she is:

A comprehensive analysis of Palin’s last two months of Twitter updates (May 26-July 26) reveals that she mentioned energy 53 times out of 400 updates, far more than any other single issue. That is nearly 4 times as many mentions than the economy, and just short of 11 times the mentions of health care. A word cloud based on her Twitter activity reinforces the fact that Palin has been focusing her efforts on leading the GOP’s opposition to clean energy reform. [...]

Moose? Does that say "moose"?

Wait. The amount of health care Tweets and moose Tweets are nearly equal. Say it ain't so, schmo.

Seriously, when I heard her last few speeches, I, too, noticed that she put the emphasis on energy. She does that a lot. Shrill, baby, shrill:

Palin continues along the same tired Republican trajectory on energy: continued dependence on fossil fuels combined with subsidies to the oil, coal, and nuclear industries.

Why anyone would consider her a spokesperson for anything, let alone "clean" energy is beyond me.

Nobody's heard from Palin on Twitter since she lost her Governor title. That would make her Sarah the Twitter Quitter.
