‘Palintology’ Quiz
OK, ready? Newsweek has the ultimate Sarah Palin quiz, based on three books – Going Rogue, The Persecution of Sarah Palin, and Going Rouge.
No, I did not get a perfect score. I got a humbling 84%. In my defense, I did not read The Persecution of Sarah Palin, nor is anything or anyone going to make me. So the two questions I missed were from that book.
Oh gosh, 37%. And I read every single one of your summaries. But not the other stuff. Still, I’ll chock it up to a deep seated aversion
… 58% here, but that is why YOU write the blog and I try to comprehend. Am sure it is because I don’t study hard enough….. I
Well, I had 26% more than halfway through, but then the quiz froze. I figured that was God openin’ a door for me, so I just charged right through and restarted from the beginning. Aced it until I got to the new material, where my average plummeted to 74%. And that’s the skeleton in MY closet.
AKM… I am just glad you stopped reading ” Going Rogue “. Reading that nonsense day after day is not healthy. It could make you sick… like S’error.
My head was spinning just from reading your summaries.
About the trivia quiz. When you go to the Newsweek page, at the bottom , there are other stories there. One was called ” France’s Sarah Palin”. Quite an interesting read. There were some similarities…. like this quote.
———————
“Stop me if you’ve heard this before: A beautiful, attention-grabbing high-profile politician is stirring up big trouble in her party. She’s got passionate supporters whose backing is partly predicated on the premise that she can overcome the party’s desperate straits. How? Through maverick political stands, an ability to relate to normal folk, a “hotness”-based charisma, and a stunning ability to grab and hold the limelight.”

Maybe we need to tell the PalinBots that S’error stole her ideas from the French. ( We know how they hate everything French) Would someone like to post THAT on her FaceBook..? This French politician was around before Her…. so S’error is NOT the Original.

I can’t even answer the first question. The right answer isn’t there.
my browser froze and crashed on my too, halfway through the quiz.
so I just quit
53% Whoa! But who knows when Sarah is lying about lies.
I am very happy to say I got a poor score – hooray!!
63% I guessed a lot.
“She glanced down at the twinkling shining silver snow.
She leaped upon her moose and rode across the mountain to find her big bus.
For a moment she pondered what it could have been if she had real government solutions to really big government problems. Then she winked and smiled knowing well enough she on had one big simple plan in mind.”
Cut that last line.
Call for edit.
“She had one (big) simple plan in mind.” (proofreading or thinking about what you say before you say it- what a concept).
I tried again and got 58%.
I only managed a 37% score which means I am still normal!
Is 74% good or bad if I haven’t actually read any of the books referred to? I guess I should purchase Rouge…
I got a Big Fat F – 42%
Oh well, I didn’t read any of the books and only AKM’s cliff notes, so, that sounds about right.
Good op-ed piece from ADN about the new Scarah:

I got a score of 37% (lower I think) but I answered with the most ridiculous
answers…why? cause she is RIDICULOUS to start with.
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la …….
Only 58% – so I’m right in there with the rest of you! ;D
i got 42%! oh well, i guess i will have to make a confession…
53% I think it said. Not that I care.
So, this means that she DID try chewing tobacco and gag on it while meeting Todd’s mother?
If they had asked any T1 or T2 questions, though, I think my score would have gone WAAAAY up.
Well, a whopping 53% but I’ve read none of the books, and only read what you wrote about Rogue….however, I got nearly all the ones on the ‘persecution’ right, so go figure. I must be one of the persecutors!!! YES!!
48% here and most were guesses – I’d rather guess than have to actually read the books!
I would argue that the lower the score that one gets on such “tests of knowledge,” the smarter they in fact are!
Got like a 47%. Didn’t read any of the books, although, I did notice that when you submit the answer, an answer shows up that wasn’t even in the multiple choice answer.
Gak! I had to stop. Yuck yuck yuck yuck yuck yuck. OK, that’s enough for now.
ok. 58%
either we’re all underachievers or too smart to let our brains retain unnecessary trivia.
i, naturally, choose the second option.
58% and two were brainfarts I should have gotten right. I knew all those free lovin peace days were gonna bite me in the butt.
It’s difficult to take a “lie test”, that’s all it is.
I started to take the quiz, but got bored and quit. Maybe there is hope for me in Alaska politics yet. How is Sean Parnell doing theses days?
this is a test to see if WE can remember s’error’s lies……..ack. the first one got me so i QUIT. there should be a fifth choice — (e) she lied.

If you continue to repeat yourself. you’re on you’re way.
hehehe
It froze on me the 1rst time around so I tried again, corrected 3 answers and got 100% Hee-hee.
problem child, I think 74% witout cheating is excellent and Molly, yeah, I think the chewing tobacco thing must be true….how romantic and cute….gag….
I got 42% & was surprised with that. I’ve read none of the books, never plan to, can’t be forced to, all because I like to chose my own fiction writers.
Apparently she can’t run for office, run a state or run a 5k, but she does quittin’ really well!

Well, I too, also, failed with a whoppin’ 32%. I guess I’m not focused enough.
And Boodog – you need to take your fingers out of your ears!
Just noticed that the time stamp on my last comment is an hour earlier than the actual PST – maybe daylight savings time is still in effect?
AST is an hour before PST, 1smartcanerican…
I got 68%. I think I know more about her than her fans!
I got a 53% but I’m in such good company who could ask for anything more?
I felt kinda awful trying to guess what S’arah could have said but did get a couple right that way. Missed the one on chewing tobacco, thought no way a christian would admit to that one. But I was wrong! lol
I got 49%, but at first I tried to answer the questions logically, as in “what sort of IDIOT would say that?” and picked the answer that make the most sense, which of course was incorrect in Palin World. Once I got the hang of it – pick the most inane answer there – I got a lot more right.
I was doing pretty well I had 37% half way through, but I quit.
Laprofesora: that oped from ADN is beautifully written. Thank you for the link. This young reporter, Julia O’Malley, really sums it up so well.
I got a whole 37%. Of course it is because that “gotcha” liberal media made that quiz.
daisydem: you’re very welcome, glad you enjoyed it
Thanks mwThatOne – I forgot that the time stamp would be on Alaska time rather than my time. A bit egocentric eh?
Found this link at Bree’s: http://firstthings.com/blogs/evangel/2009/11/rogue-thoughts-chapter-by-chapter-on-sarah-palin/
A consevative academic fairly critiques that book. The comments are very interesting, not the usual Paylin fanatics.
I’m either paying attention or I am paying too much attention to what’s going on with S’error.
19/20.
Don’t ask me to redo it cuz I’ll prolly get less than 10/20.
That’s 10 minutes of my life I’ll never get back.
LOL 1smartcanerican! It’s just that I don’t like tests, or sp. A test ON sp would just do me in..
My test score was a zero…..since I didn’t show up to take the test. Thought it would be more fun to burn off my eyelashes with a blow torch. I was right. Lots more fun.
84% is a good solid “B”, but I would have expected better from you. Let’s face it, AKM….you are suffering from PTS. Formerly known as post-traumatic stress, a new variation has arisen: Palin Traumatic Stress syndrome.
OMG. I just took the quiz, I got 90%.
Ths is a sign that I am drunk with the Sarah syndrome Crap.
I am going to tone it down. That shows how much she scares me. I got few questions wrong.
Her quit speech. Also the question Katie Courie did not ask Sarah. I got that wrong. The dating Todd question, I got it wrong. I think 2 other.
Oh boy.
58% – I’ll sleep better tonight knowing that my score (much higher than I’d like to admit) is wayyy higher than her approval rating!
The only reason I got so many answers wrong is because the news journalists have it in for me. And that question about me and the basketball? If you had witches doing not Gods work, and you just kept em there right in ya, why I had a difficult time there for awhile, ya betcha. But I’m here ta tell ya when ya do get em out, it’s Glowin’ fer God time. Makes that basketball thing just roll right under floor board and just get away, I’m here ta tell ya!
I gave up after no being able to get the page to load three times.
Oh, Jeez… 37%. Guess I have not wasted enough of my life obsessing about Palin The Trainwreck.
#56 Motorhead,
I disagree. It is not wasting time, and it is not an obsession, it is paying attention to your current political affairs.
If our dear friend Mudflat, did not pay attention to Palin’s moves and reported everything she knew about SP, this country would have had John McCain as president and Sarah Palin as Vice President. Thanks for Mudflat, who brought out the time bomb in the open.
As much as searching, and paying attention, to what Palin the Trainwreck is doing , I agree it can be annoying and time consuming. But it will pay off oneday.
Sarah Palin is a piece of work. You can not blink on her.
This woman is very close to run for president, because of St…..d people , who are uninformed in this country. They do not research or read, they really on Fox news sound bites.
That is why you can not think paying attention to current political affairs, as an obsession.
if smart people takes her moves as a joke. You will work up …oneday with Palin as president of the United States.
My reasoning sounds silly, but make no mistakes, this woman has a crowd that is feeling her. I end there.
You will wake up oneday with SP as your president…. Mark my word
haha, question 7 listed the book as “Going Rouge” (sic).
Well, I’m happy to say I scored a whopping 53%, which likely reflects the fact that I haven’t read any of the three books. I wonder how Palin would do?
Strangelet, I got 53% too, making us partners in Palinignorance, I guess… my excuse is, “I don’t really %$#@&%$ care” was not an option. What I don’t understand about the quiz results is, why don’t all the results end in either 5 or 0? (19 of 20 = 95%, 18 of 20= 90%, & so on- so no one should have scored 84% or 53% if they completed all 20 questions.) Excuse me, need more coffee…
