Plenty of vocab for you here. This would be a difficult style to imitate.

I Hate You Sarah Palin
Judd sets the stage.
A couple of months ago, you couldn’t drive anywhere in Los Angeles without seeing giant billboards that proclaimed, “I hate you, Sarah Marshall.” Well, we’ve all since long forgotten Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Judd Apatow’s not-quite-$100-million-comedy (if you look it up on IMDB.rpo, the first keyword is “penis”), about a nebbish (inutil, don nadie) whose hot girlfriend leaves him for a drug-addled ( to addle = to rot. rather an archaic word nowadays except for eggs and one's wits, that is mind or brains) rocker and they wind up ( to wind up = to end up) at the same resort in, of all places, Hawaii, and hilarity ensues. Or, Hawai’i as we now call it, orthographically speaking.
But ever since that wrinkly old white dude with the numberless residences, John “the Senator from the Canal Zone”( He was born in this previously US terroritory in Panama) McCain, rained on Barack Hussein Obama II Barry Soetero Barack Hussein Obama Jr., a.k.a. the “Senator from Hinky Dink Kenna, ( avery corrupt Chicago politician, see link) aka the Punahou ( elite school in hawaii) Kid’s, parade with his insane, opportunistic, clueless, out-of-touch and breathtakingly audacious, game-changing pick of Sarah Marshall Palin to be his vice president, there’s another Sarah in town to hate.

Yeah, I’m talking about Sarah Barracuda, aka Hurricane Sarah. Where does she get off thinking she can be vice president of the United States? Up against the one million years in the Senate her opponent, Joe Biden, has logged in (as in log on, to log = register) between expensive rides at taxpayer expense on the Acela, what can she offer? Mayor of a town of six people and ten caribou [sneer]? Miss Congeniality [sneer, sneer]? Illegitimate-child baby-grandma [sneer, sneer, sneer]? Poster chick(=girl) for “family values” [sneer, sneer, sneer, sneer]?
Sorry, I’m running out of sneers.
But, seriously, just look at the negatives: she’s a popular first-term governor, she’s a woman, she’s happily married, she has five kids, one of them with Down’s syndrome, she’s a maverick, she’s from way beyond the Beltway, ( the circular motorway around Washington DC where a high percentage of the US intelligentsia and nomenklatura live, beyond the beltway is where "provincial unsophisticated Amercians live) she’s taken on ( to take on = entfrentarse a , encargargarse de , and a long etc) both the Republican Party and Big Oil, she shoots automatic weapons, she can kill a moose with a butter knife and fillet a sea lion with a smile, her husband’s a roustabout(= oildrilling rig worker) Eskimo snowmobile champ, she’s a hockey mom, she was Miss Wasilla, she looks like she should be playing Cecily, the saucy librarian, in Tom Stoppard’s "Travesties", and she doesn’t wear pantsuits. Heck, she hasn’t even appeared yet on Meet the Press!( The most popular USA TV talk show for celebs) I mean, who in his right mind would vote for her?
Sure, if she were one of ours, not only would we have nominated her by acclamation, since she fulfills every trope of feminism except for her unfortunate and inexplicable opposition to murdering unborn children, we would also have made at least two TV movies about her life, celebrating her choice to have her fifth child and the announcement yesterday that her 17-year-old daughter, Bristol, is pregnant and is going to marry the teenage father of her child. That’s the kind of heartwarming, inclusive, empowering story we love — she’s like Juno come to life as Juneau, set in Mystery, Alaska.
But she’s not a Democrat, which despite her va-va-va-voom ( "va voom " is intended to be the onomatapeic representation of the Anglo-saxon "wolf whistle", (wolf= ligon) which is the whistling equivalent of a "piropo") appearance, means she’s not really a woman, which is one of the reasons we’ve spent the past four days since McCain unveiled her trying to tear her limb from limb (Idiom = cut into pieces, totally destroy). Just because she’s the governor of a state sandwiched between two obscure and unimportant countries, Canada and Russia, and spent more time in her first five minutes visiting American troops in Iraq than Evita Barry did during his entire Rainbow Tour, what could she possibly know about foreign policy? It’s not like she’s John Edwards or something.
So that’s why we’re having our Wellstone Funeral Moment at the moment. We mean well; we promised ourselves we wouldn’t go over the top ( aka OTT, toofar, lose control, pasarse) with our outright loathing of the Neanderthals who preach “Christian” values while practicing Wiccanism (Pre-Christian English paganism, revived today as witchcraft but usually without publicly known human, especially child sacrifices) and child sacrifice and who hate black people and gay people and want to destroy the environment just because they can, and want to amass more money than even John Kerry or Jon Corzine or Herb Kohl or Jay Rockefeller or Dianne Feinstein — the five richest senators — or Ted Kennedy or John Edwards or Nancy Pelosi have. That, usually, is the Kos Kidz (click for this very popular USA leftie political news- mega blog)’s job. Along with speculating exactly how Bush got from My Pet Goat (click for link, it was the book Bush was reading to schoolkids when he got the first news of 9/11) to planting the depth charges that blew up the levees in New Orleans.( A suprisingly widespread conspiracy theory in the USA: one of Obama's appointees believed it)
But sometimes the mask slips and you can see — whoops! — how much we hate you. Normally we’re against hate in all its forms, and embrace tolerance as one of our defining moral attributes. But when it comes to you conservatives, well, with the best will in the world, we just can’t tolerate you. You’re elitist, you’re judgmental, you’re hypocritical, and we know that deep down you hate us even more than we hate you. Therefore, by any means necessary, we will defeat you this fall. Voter fraud, “walking around” money, legions of lawyers, as many recounts as it takes — bring it on! ( show business argot: show/screen etc this act now!)
Because we need to take back our country. We need to take it back from fascists like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, and give it back to its rightful proprietors, patriots like Henry Wallace, Sidney Hillman, Norman Thomas, Gus Hall, Karl Marx, Leon Trotsky, Joseph Stalin, Saul Alinsky, William Kunstler, Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, David Dellinger, Tom Hayden, Bobby Seale, and, yes, my guy, the Talking Parrot, you know who.
And Sarah Marshall Palin stands in the way of all that. After we sent *Bill n’ Hill (=the clintons, to send packing = dismiss, )packing* with their twin gold watches(traditional retirement gift) in Denver, we thought we had a clear playing-field. The sunshine of the uplands was ours. Mother Gaia had opened wide her arms to embrace us, shunning the Orcs and the Uruk-hai of the Anti-Slavery, Anti-Segregation, Anti-Secularism, Anti-Sedition and Anti-Surrender(=Republicans) Party. We were going up against Bob Dole and Jack Kemp, Herbert Hoover and Whoever, Daddy Bush and Dan Quayle, Gerald R. Ford and, well, Bob Dole.
Piece of cake(= super easy), walk on the beach, a Renaissance Weekend in a non-denominational heaven for atheists. Until Sarah Marshall Palin showed up, bringing with her 10 million bucks for the bad guys in three days, a level of enthusiasm not seen since Ronnie(= ex President Ronald Reagan ) was a pup, and a clear shot to Republican dominance with her and Bobby Jindal and whatever seduced and corrupted minority group is coming next for eons to come.
So that’s why we hate you, Sarah Marshall Palin. We hate you because you remind the other side of their wives, their girlfriends, their daughters, and make them want to fight for you against our sneers and our smears. We hate you because you’re smart and accomplished and didn’t make your bones on the back of ( to make one's bones = to found one's carreer on . Hillarity clinton is not, unlike sarah palin, a woman politician in her own right, but rather became popular after her husband the President cuckolded her with Miss Lewinsky)Monica Lewinsky. We hate you because you’ve made us forget that our last two candidates for vice president were Joe Lieberman and John Edwards, whoever they were.
We hate you because you’re smart and beautiful and we wish we had women like you on our side.
We hate you.
