Hi Sarah!
I thought I really ought to by send you a Valentine's Day greeting today, because I fear that next year you will be forgotten by all but your most rabid and demented fans. The more we learn about you, the less impressed (and more shocked and often nauseated) we are, the more we harden our suspicion that you really ARE an empty vessel, a vacuous, amoral small-town grifter with an eye for nothing beyond the main chance, the next pay-day and the next photo-op. Sunlight, they say, is the best disinfectant, and they're not wrong. But for you, the one most sorely in need of disinfecting, sunlight has the same effect it does on vampires. It eats away at you little by little, rotting you until nothing is left. The next time I address you it won't be in the form of a Valentine's Day greeting - it'll be an anti-panegyric preached over the coffin of your political ambitions.
I will miss you when you're gone. Your entertainment-value quotient is off the charts, especially for "over educated", cultural-elitist snobs like me. There's the maddening little sing-song delivery of your speeches, with those weird, unmotivated upticks and misplaced emphases that suggest you are literally reading "your own words" for the very first time. For anyone who appreciates real oratorical skills, like those of Churchill, MLK or Pliny the Elder (you can google all these names, sweetie), it's like having knitting-needles kicked into one's ears over and over again. There's your matchless ability to grind grammar and syntax into a non-intelligible word-pulp containing the odd sharp, indigestible fragment of John Birch ("Bomb Iran!") or Jesus-Freak ("More Divine Intervention!") insanity, the frequent cheap slurs against your political enemies - who, I can't help noticing, are sprouting up even in the madder precincts at your own end of the political spectrum - and the usual genuflections towards Boy Jesus and Saint Ronnie (who I bet wouldn't touch your ass with a forty-foot pole). And then there's your sorry history of climbing towards the top over the corpses of the people who helped get you into office in the first place. It's like a pathology you can't seem to conquer. I don't think there's a step you've taken on your long (albeit short) march to infamy that hasn't featured the wholesale betrayal of the most recent tier of your erstwhile political mentors - the corpses of the disgruntled and thrown-over now surely make up a substantial percentage of the Alaskan electorate. No wonder you quit your job.
It looks like this is on the up and up. And it is wonderful!
Just click the title to go over to Huffington Post and read the entire thing. Well worth the visit.
author is a writer for "the family guy"
ReplyDeleteSmack Down! In Hi Definition!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing piece!! I just sent her a note at Twitter. And I'll leave one at huffingon. She Really describes her accurately
ReplyDeleteWhat??? I went to the article and read it and still can't believe it.
ReplyDeleteIf it is legit, then this Faux News producer has signed her own career death warrant if Fox still deems Palin useful.
If not, then, how it should have been issued on April 1st.
Wow - I am hoping it's true.
However, a teeny, tiny part of me worries that this is all part and parcel of positioning someone such as Jeb Bush to ride in and save the day for conservatives. After all, after Sarah, the Bushes look almost palatable (okay not the George W yahoo), but I remember thinking how Georgie W made his own Dad look smart (and I never, ever thought anyone could do that).
So, maybe Sarah is finally fizzling out. We can only hope. I am so very tired of her hate, her vacuousness, and her - well just her.
"There's your matchless ability to grind grammar and syntax into a non-intelligible word-pulp containing the odd sharp, indigestible fragment of John Birch ("Bomb Iran!") or Jesus-Freak ("More Divine Intervention!") insanity,"
ReplyDelete---
This is pure poetry. Shatner, you are on deck.
Well, so it was a sham, but a good one. We so wanted to believe.
ReplyDeleteBet it won't be long, though, until someone does this for real. I wonder what kind of contracts the real producers have. How long do they have to wait to dish the behind the scenes interactions they see.
Sham or no sham, this woman knows the real Sarah. Her words to "God's ear," eh? Hey, Sarah, can you hear the whispers? They are the prayers we all (even unbelievers) are saying hoping this all will be true one day - soon!
WOW!!! If this is for real, and not some 'Onion' writer, I cannot applaud her guts loud enough! I agree with the above anon that this could be the writers 'death-knell' from Faux Noise, but I believe it would well be worth it!
ReplyDeleteFINALLY SOME 'OTHERS' ARE GETTING THE 'ESSENCE'OF $$$ARAHCUDA!
Here is my comment on H.P. (don't know if it will get through):
BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO!!!! Wild applause from this side of the isle!!!
Unfortunately, $carah cannot understand ANY of your well chosen words. You are too educated (and I betcha it did not take you SIX colleges to FINALLY get one of them to give you a degree - just so they can get rid of you!
$carah only understands wordsalad, which is not being taught at any college worth its immatriculation.
Not Fox News. She is a producer for Fox Sunday Prime Time - read Family Guy, The Simpsons, American Dad, etc.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that is actually from Fox, and that it's not an April Fools Day Joke printed a little early.
ReplyDeleteSarah is going be busy with that blackberry. First, she has to scream at Roger and Rupert to Fire the Fox Gall.
Then, there are all those retard jokes about the R-word on Family Guy, Sarah Silverman, anybody. I used the word to describe the jokes, not a person. It's sarcasm!
Wow and double Wow, loved it!
ReplyDeleteAaaahhhhh. . . . this reads like Pliny the Elder.
ReplyDeleteI was waiting for this! The people who actually work at Fox have to put up with so much phoney junk I knew someone would speak up. How could they not?!!
ReplyDeleteWell, that was an excellent read. Maybe there is hope for Fox News after all....if this piece is for real, it means thay have at least have one intelligent staffer.
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredible, right on article! A gutsy piece for sure. How did we miss it yesterday?
ReplyDeleteHey Gryph,
ReplyDeleteGreat blog post as always, keep em comming.
Just one complaint that has been a little annoying lately. Some of your videos are on autoplay and it drives me nuts trying to scroll down to shut em off.
Can you believe the Freepers haven't attacked that article yet? I actually got through two pages of comments on HuffPost without hurling at the mention of Kenya or birth certificates or real 'Mericans.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the grifter granny isn't necessarily "queen bee" at Faux. LMAO!!!! Is Murdoch ready to "wash his hands" of his mistake?
ReplyDeleteIf you notice the photo of Sarah with her thumbs up - I was looking at how big and red they were (the thumbs)- Then I noticed-- absence of wedding band.
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific smack down, and all so true. Refreshing to read the truth!
I'll be the fun-spoiler. The article is not a sham; however, Kara Vallow, the writer of the article, is NOT with Fox News.
ReplyDeleteFrom her HuffPost bio: "Kara Vallow produces all of Fox's primetime Sunday night lineup except for The Simpsons"-- Family Guy, American Dad, The Cleveland Show. Again...NOT Fox News.
I thought the piece was hysterically funny and apt.
ReplyDelete--it was under HP Comedy.
I applaud this woman (FOX producer!) for speaking up. I believe it will give others the incentive to follow. The first high-powered republican to call her out (and tell the TRUTH about how stupid, vile and CRAZY the exGINO is) will gain kudos and respect from whatever number of sane republicans are left.
ReplyDeleteThe author of this wonderful smackdown is a leader - I expect many will follow.
Can't wait.
She won't be forgotten a year from now. You guys have been saying this so long now it is laughable.
ReplyDeleteMy first reaction to this letter was, Oh Meow and I loved it. But it really feels like it is created to cause controversy to increase ratings. Maybe Fox wants to start a cat fight.
ReplyDeleteThis is Fox, not Faux News. I personally have never understood how the offerings on Fox Network, and Fox Reality can be so much more liberal than the junk on Fox News channel. There's a real dichotomy in the Fox world and I feel that much of that has to do with Murdoch's love of tabloid gossip and controversy. Some of the comedic and series options on Fox Network run towards progressiveness (and beyond) and Fox Reality Channel, well that's just pop culture trash. I guess that he gets more controversy running a conservative news network than he would running a progressive one. Suffice it to say, I'll never figure out how all these channels, with such different agendas, are run from the same building; they must keep the employees in different wings of the building to maintain harmony!
ReplyDeleteHmm...she won't post my comment on the HuffPo blog. I just ask her how she figured it out. It would interesting how she (and others in the media) finally saw the light about Mrs. Palin.
ReplyDeleteKara Vallow has delivered what is undoubtedly the most accurate and devastating smack down of Sarah Palin to date. It is hilarious, biting, and spot on.
ReplyDeleteThere has been some minor jabs at Palin from within FauxNews, but the folks on the entertainment side of Fox seem to feel absolutely no fear of going after Palin.
Will Murdoch make noises about such disloyalty toward his newest Sex Kitten news "analyst?"
Gasman; I see Murdoch as a Mr. Burns type, just sitting in his mansion, rubbing his hands together and loving every moment of controversy, regardless of which of his proteges bring it about.
ReplyDeleteThe potential of controversy between such a well known employee of FAUX and another lesser known employee probably has Ailes & Murdoch cackling likes hens. They love the publicity, any publicity. As Ailes said when confronted about his news program, he said, "we're all about ratings, not news. Ratings." That says it all. Sarah is not going to be able to get anyone fired or that would make her look too important. Something like that won't happen. If it wasn't real, I am sure it would have been taken down quickly, not standing two days later, drawing lots of hits for HuffPo.
ReplyDeleteSuck it up, Buttercup! Your co-workers know all about you and don't like you. Who could blame them?
My comment didn't go through either, and it wasn't anything worse than what she already said. Go figure...
ReplyDeleteThere's a great column at HuffPo by Tina Dupuy titled "Sarah Palin: The Symbol of Cynicism." While the entire column is great, I particularly like this paragraph, especially the last line:
ReplyDelete"It's her incompetence coupled with this brazen lust for power and the lack of any self-irony or doubt that sparks the press. It's certainly not her ideas, because they are not hers or ideas. They're overly-digested Republican platitudes. And candidly, fact-checking Palin is like critiquing a squirrel on his algebra.

Another good column is one by Chris Holt, titled "Alaska is the New-New Jersey." Very amusing.

Very interesting. I wonder what Murdoch is up to? There was an incident in Australia where Murdoch used his newspapers to get a candidate elected and then trashed him so much, he was unelected. It was apparently just Murdoch just showing off his power. I wonder if this is another show of power, or the Fox staff not too pleased with their latest colleague? It does appear its popcorn time.
ReplyDeleteWow - too many think the author has ties to Faux "News".
ReplyDeleteAnd broadcast Fox would be located in L.A., not NY, where Faux is.
I'd bet the farm the author has never met or even been in the same building as SP.
Awesome article tho!!!!!
Wonder how long it will be before there's an "apology" issued? Sigh . . .
ReplyDeleteI agree with AKPet and ANN NC.
ReplyDeleteShe is definitely not part of the Fox "party line". I loved it!
ReplyDeleteI have not read all the comments because I really do not have time nor the inclination but I have to ask a simple question, "where did all of this come from?". Was it something that she decided to do when she woke up in the morning? Then, she had to have a Thesaurus (something that she is not obviously friends with) to change words so us "little people", the "unwashed", the silly ones that have "no clue", the ones that do not want this country to "progress" into a third world country. You want to be a party of "Progessives" have at it, you are "progessing" this country into oblivion. At least I have another country to live in, but you sore, sad people have nothing else.
ReplyDeleteJust drinking the Kool-Aid and continue to destroy the greatest country on earth. I am sure that history will mention you (not too kindly, I might add). Progress yourselves to inadequacy since Progressives have not EVER been shown to have a solution but rather are AGAINST solutions.
