Naturally, there's even an internets term of art to describe this situation: Poe's Law. Poe's Law holds that someone will always mistake a wingnut parody for the real thing, due to the often astonishing resemblence between the absurdity of the parody troll's rhetoric to that of many actual wingnuts. If you look up Poe's Law on RationalWiki you will find in-depth explanations, formulas, charts, and debates which are instructive as well as hilarious.

Stick-to-it-iveness as demonstrated by quitting mid-term first term? Stick-to-it-iveness as demonstrated by five colleges to get a degree? Integrity, family values? As demonstrated by allowing her underage daughter to sleep with her underage boyfriend in her own house? This makes as much sense as Republican legislative leadership defying the gov. to veto their bill at the last minute! Nice touch, Republitard!

She bailed the state to take another job as soon as things looked like they were going to get a little tough. Governor Palin's integrity, family values, and stick-to-it-ivness stand as an example to us all. I don’t understand you Obamacrats who continue to worship J-Nap.
