I was going to take the res of the day off from blogging until I happened across this exchange between Sarah Palin and Greta Van Susteren. Listen to how many times she says she was "telling the truth". You know what that means don't you?
"Did the college student hack into my e-mails?" Actually NO he did not!
"Did he disclose personal private e-mails for the world to see or not?" Yes he did but then so did MSNBC when they published Todd's e-mails for the world to see. The only difference is that Sarah could not have most of it redacted when Kernell posted it. Face it Sarah when you became the VP candidate the privacy of all of your friends and family was sacrificed to your ravenous ambitions.
By the way I think this "News show" she is referring to was Fox News. (At least that is where Bristol claims to have seen it.) Of course Palin does not want to mention Fox's name because that is the hand that helps to feed her ravenous appetite for money and fame.
Now if you listen carefully around the 5:00 mark you will hear Greta ask Palin if she feels any empathy or sympathy for the young man who did this. Listen to her response.
Did you hear her answer? She simply talks about what she perceives as his intent to derail her campaign and then clenches her manly jaw and says the punishment is up to the judge. She displays NOT THE TINIEST BIT of empathy for this kid! Not the tiniest bit!
Shocked at that response Greta tries to ask her again, and this time Sarah goes on the attack against the boys defense team! Claiming that they are not doing their job and should have offered a plea bargain. She even questions their intelligence? Un-fucking-believable!
Clearly she want this kid to fry! He dared to embarrass her, and interrupt her rise to power and she wants him to suffer for his crimes against her. If ever you gave her the benefit of the doubt about being a vindictive bitch this should put any of your doubts to rest. If she could strap him to an electric chair and pull the switch her self I doubt she would even hesitate.
I cannot watch it. I have never wanted someone to leave this planet before. Now I do. I really, really do. It is sick.

I guess it's fair. After all, Willow is still free to party, sleep around and trash empty homes without any type of punishement. But play 'are you smarter than a palin' and guess her flipping password, then your Ghinas Kahan!
ReplyDeleteE-mail exposure was "huge" disruption in the campaign, says smirking Sarah, the very same campaign that McCain disrupted by SUSPENDing it to totter away to the Senate floor.
ReplyDeleteSarah, your boring little e-mails didn't even cause a ripple.
Remember, Sarah, the campaign staffers were wondering whether you were "mentally unstable", so it's not like anyone was trusting you with valuable campaign strategy info. After all, someone not bright enough to protect a password isn't likely to be anything other than a decorative object to enhance the image of the CANDIDATE!
Gryphen, Ive been meaning to ask this. Have you met Sarah?
ReplyDeleteI find myself wondering does she hate all men and wish to punish them. She reportedly only got the girls of for the vandalism, is this a pattern???
ReplyDeleteOne thing about Sarah---it is always about Sarah, will always be about Sarah, she is always right and there is no other way. She thinks she knows more than doctors, lawyers, scientists, all other politicians, everybody.
ReplyDeleteI just read that she said she would fit in with Oregon. (every place she goes is perfect for her, real America, blah, blah blah.). I wish she would go out of the US and find another country to settle in. It looks like we have to endure years and years of her hate, obstruction and destruction---lying, lying, lying. She said don't retreat, reload in Oregon. She is just plain creepy.
sallyngarland,tx
oh Pluz! Sarah single-handed dis-railed her own campaign by showing how dumb she is..she didn't need the kid..
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 8:39, to answer your question, yes I have.
ReplyDeleteAnd by he way, THAT is quite the story. I am still waiting for permission from some of my friends to blog about it.
Trust me it will blow your mind.
Did you watch Palin babble about the AZ immigration law? It's classic WTF. I'm laughing too hard to gather thoughts about her meanness...and she was mean.
ReplyDeleteAt the end, Greta looked like she may have been trying hard not to bust her gut. Maybe it's my imagination.
I can't wait. Sounds enchanting ;o)
ReplyDeleteCome on, Gryph. Blow our minds.
ReplyDeletemmud
It sure is a shame that she had all that work done on her face by a second rate surgeon. Her face looks more unbalanced and homely every time i see it.
ReplyDeleteWhy on earth would you need permission from your friends to blog about when you met the Quitter Queen?
Again!!!!! Levi knows about Track and his goings on and probably Willow too -- why doesn't he expose these people?
ReplyDeleteThey must have a thing or two on him as well....
Palin's never been in a courtroom before?
ReplyDeleteReally! Ask Levi J. if money hungry Sarah took him to court for child support & to try to squelch his parental rights.
AS for campaign e mails.... Old John McCan't did not know how to use a newfangled computer.
So maybe it was Cindy Lu's wardrobe suggestions e mails Palin was so worried about becoming public?
This woman is a psychotic. The world is seeing her for exactly what she is, a raging bitch. Her son cuts the brake lines on almost 50 school buses and there are no charges brought against him because she is the GOV. Her daughter breaks into a house and does extensive damage and no charges for her. I detected her her feeling her world is about to collapse. I knew about the rumors of the fake pregnancy within 24 hours of her being nominated,so explain to me how this boy derailed the campaign? This entire family is a one family path of destruction. I think this interview just may make some of the Old McCain officials break out some secrets to expose her. This is one bitter and angry human being that has used her children for her own personal gain. Her day will come! Wasilla wake up , this is who you are protecting, WHY? You have shamed your state.
ReplyDeleteThere was an unknown...oh yeah, cause you BLEW OFF your previous subpeonas!
ReplyDeleteShe is such a fucking hypocrite!
ReplyDeleteShe mentions 'someone breaking into your house and reading your letters' blah blah blah and it doesn't even occur to her that her OWN DAUGHTER broke into someone else's house and TRASHED the place!
Isn't THAT an 'invasion of privacy and security'?
How many times did she say 'personal, private emails' (btw: can't stand the way she pronounces 'emulls'). I bet, just to drive the point home, she said 'personal, private' a zillion times on the stand.
For god's sake! She had an UNSECURE account with an EASY 'security question' and was using that account to conduct state business (even though she drags the family into things again by saying it was a primary form of communication with the kids).
As I remember it, the kid didn't publish a thing... the news agencies did. And, as I recall, it was all quite boring stuff. Does she REALLY think that anyone was so fascinated by her email that they pursued more and more information about the 'personal, private' crap?
NO! The fascination was that she would be stupid enough to conduct state business this way. And state business is fair game.
And what about the LIES spewing forth from Bristol's mouth? Any problem with THAT, Sarah?
This woman is a fucking trainwreck. Someone. Anyone. Just make her GO AWAY!
Did she seriously just liken her email thing to Watergate? I assume that is what she meant when she mentioned offices being broken into. I could be wrong, but she does enjoy overinflating her importance.
ReplyDeleteWatch her breathing in this video. she is absolutely FURIOUS. Her body language gives it all way, even while her mouth is lying, as usual.
ReplyDelete"E-mail exposure was "huge" disruption in the campaign"
ReplyDeleteIf one kid can throw a huge monkey wrench into a presidential campaign what does that tell you she thinks about the people who ran it. She obviously thinks that she was the most important part of the whole sick mess and that her loss was due to this kid, not her insipid stupidity on display for months. Schmidt can claim she helped McCain's campaign but he is deluded. She killed him just as if she had stabbed him in the heart.
Gryphen, how long are you going to let this hateful, lying witch continue to spread her lies?? DO SOMETHING!!!
ReplyDeleteSo, according to Paylin, the Secret Service or McCain staffers (whoever) came into "Todd & Sarah's hotel room and said 'we have bad news ... and you'll have to change everything' ... it was quite disruptive". So the campaign was "disrupted" while the changes took place. Passwords, phone numbers, etc.
ReplyDeleteIF the passwords, email addresses, phone numbers were changed as she told Greta in that interview, then why did all those people suffer from calls, emails, etc. "...all through the campaign..." as the Frye woman testified? Were the numbers & passwords changed or were they not changed?
According to Bristol, it was not only disruptive, it was totally beyond the abilities of Sarah, Todd, grandparents or any other adult involved to fix the situation - they couldn't even get the kid a new phone or change the number. Also, too, it was beyond McCain's staff to help them. Thank God those incompetent people aren't running our country!!
The Quitter governor has no sympathey for the Kernell kid. The message is "don't mess with Sister Sarah or you'll go to jail". Not saying Kernell didn't do the wrong thing when he was 20 years old. Lots of 20 year olds do the wrong thing. It's not like he cut the brake lines and flattened the tires of 43+ school buses or broke into a house and trashed art work, doors and floors. Also, too, not like he pulled the fire alarm in a dorm.
Incidentally and for the purpose of just telling the truth, did Mrs. Palin pick up any of the tab for Track's vandalism? Or for Willow's vandalism? Were there any other kids involved with Track? And if so, did they suffer any punishment? Did Sarah suffer any punishment when she pulled the fire alarm in her college dorm? How old was she when she did that? Was that action disruptive? Was it disruptive when she hacked into Ruedich's email account and then bragged to the newspapers about her techie prowess?
I wish some lamestream media journalist would compare contrast Sarah's kids actions with the email kids actions. And Sarah's email hacking actions.
ReplyDeleteThe whole Palin experience is surreal. More and more every day we go deeper into the rabbit hole and/or the twilight zone.
For the last few days, statements have been made on here, Mudflats, Celtic Diva,and Palingates that important info has been sent to the defense attorney. Will he be recalling any of the Palins to try to get answers to some of these questions?
ReplyDelete1. Secret Service had a small building constructed in the Palin's yard and were always available. Per Levi/Sherry/Sadie, the SS detail went everywhere with Bristol, including to the Johnston's home. Also, SS were often in a boat patrolling the lake near the Palin's house. If there were all of these agents around, how did those boys get on the property and be knocking on the door to get in to Bristol?
2. Per the Johnstons, Levi was with Bristol all of the time, he had a car and a cell phone. Sherry had also bought Bristol a cell phone, the one later used to get Sherry into deep-doo-doo.
3. It has been shown that the Palins did in fact have a land-line the entire time.
4. Maps show that the Palin compound is not way out in the boonies as Bristol tried to claim.
5. Sarah had already exposed her children to the media and there were hundreds of photos of her children, so why would that one photo of Trig on the plane cause her so much concern? Or is just because one of her daughters is playing the fool with the crossed eyes and tongue sticking out?
6. Is there no way that Sarah's invasion of Ruedrich's (sp?)computer be brought into it as an example of how that was okay but this invasion isn't?
7. Is there no way that Track's and Willow's vandalism could be brought into questioning? It would seem that the attorney could just theorize and ask her what she thinks the penalty should be if she heard of a young man that cut brake lines on school busses, without naming his name.
It just seems - SO FAR - that the defense attorney isn't asking the right questions.... but maybe I've watched too many Perry Mason shows and have too much faith in the system that the kid would get a fair shake.
GG2C
You people should quit bitchin' 'bout Palin. She's a really really good Christian.
ReplyDeleteCan't you tell?
I mean, what would Jesus do?
She was asked whether she was grilled on cross exam and she said that there was an attempt to grill her. So, the defense has cross examined the witnesses (which would be standard procedure rather than call them back later). So, does anyone know what questions were asked of Bristol or SP by the defense? No coverage of this????
ReplyDeleteLinda, from what I have been told, and this was only in fairly vague terms, the defense can call Sarah and Bristol back to cross examine them at a later date, after the defense has introduced their witnesses.
ReplyDeleteAt that time the attorneys can confront the Palins with the disinformation that they provided while on the stand the first time. And after Sarah essentially insulted them in this Greta interview I would think they would relish that opportunity.
However there also exists the possibility that it will never come to that if a plea deal is worked out which does not include jail time for Kernell.
Did she seriously just liken her email thing to Watergate?
ReplyDeleteYES! The she thinks the he "derailed" a campaign meme will sell.
I don't believe they can bring in the Palin kids' misbehavior for a couple of reasons:
ReplyDelete1. It really doesn't relate
2. Neither kid was ever *convicted* of anything
3. Both kids (I think) were juveniles at the time of their respective "misbehaviors."
4 (optional - ha) This trial isn't about "justice" or Ms Quittypants would have long since been out of the political spotlight. It's about the Law. The kid broke the law (yeah, he did).
The part that worries me is thinking that "it was non-violent and a first offense so he most likely won't get the book thrown at him." Sherri Johnston was a first time offender, too. (and I'm sure that this - being related to Queen Quitter - is far more important as it impacted a *national* election also too, yeah, you betcha.
Humpf.
I won't watch this video because I don't want to ruin my weekend, so thanks for the wrap up Gryphen.
ReplyDeleteI guess Sarah has been spending her money on tacky southwest (or whatver the f that is)necklaces and legal bills. Can I just say that Sarah looks and acts more bipolar/manic each week, and I say this from personal experience with a mother who was bipolar.
Wonder how much SarahPac paid Van Flea to travel down to Tennesee when she is just a witness? Why would a prosecution witness need her own lawyer?
I this defense lawyer has even half a brain, he will villify the Palins.
When there is that much hate and vitriol in a person, they can never be pretty.
ReplyDeleteIt always shows.
Excellent post - and excellent comments all.
ReplyDeleteWhat can I add? Not a thing. This woman needs "bringing down". I hope somebody, somewhere has something up their sleeve...and soon.
So the Palins are "seeking some justice and answered the subpoena".
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't the Palins and friends answered the subpoena during Troopergate and seek justice in Alaska instead of being in contempt?
After watching what a vindictive, nasty, full of revenge, person Ms. Palin is, are we all really that surprised that no one in Alaska has come forward with the "goods" on this sorry excuse for a human? I truly believe after watching her in action for the past 2 years, that she will stop at nothing to discredit or make life miserable for anyone who crosses her or who she even thinks isn't in her corner. I think her nastiness is making her face look ugly - not the result of plastic surgery.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for the defense to call sarah and bristol back to the stand.....let the perjury begin :-)
ReplyDeleteI also agree with Gryph....the defense attorneys aren't gonna appreciate being called stupid by someone who IS stupid.
The boy deserves a couple of years probation, court costs, and no jail time. He was wrong, he broke the law. BUT. This in no way equates to Watergate. Sarah is soooo delustional.
She is the ugliest person I have ever seen, inside and out.
ReplyDeleteI can't stand her and I don't get her supporters.
Physically she is not pretty anymore. Inside she is simply a cold mean bi@$h.
I can't watch the video but I can tell you Sarah is no Christian and she's going straight to hell. Look how many of the commandments she's broken. She is also a deeply disturbed and unhappy person.
Her comments about Graham just lost her the vote of any non-Christian in America too.
I hope she ru s in 2012 so we can see Romney and others crucify her.
If I was a juror and didn't have any exposure to the real Sarah and at this point in time of the trial it wasn't mentioned that there were indeed AK gov't emails from this account, one big red flag for me would be, why would Bristol's cell phone be in any of these emails if the Yahoo account was set up exclusively for communications with family and friends and the Yahoo account was recently created what within a month prior? Wouldn't family and friends already know her cell phone number? Doesn't hold water to me.....
ReplyDeleteAnd y'all wonder why people in the know keep their mouths shut of that horrible, horrible family in Wasilla?
ReplyDeleteIf this petty little email snafu can derail a major national campaign, how did she go on from that humiliating Sarkozy spoof phone call?
ReplyDeleteThis poor kid is the iconic image of her national failure as a candidate and she is hell bent on makin him pay.
If this petty little email SNAFU could derail her national campaign, how on earth did she recover and go on past that humiliating Sarkozy phone call prank?
ReplyDeleteThis poor kid is an iconic image of her failed national Hail-Mary candidacy, she is hell bent on makin him pay.
If this petty little email SNAFU could derail her national campaign....
ReplyDeletehow on earth did she recover and go on past that humiliating idiotic Wasilla Ice Rink being built on someone elses property and leaving that town milllllliiiooonnnsss of dollars in debt?
Which one is Greta and which one is Sarah? Both look like skanks.
ReplyDeleteThe Swag-Hag (S) strike again!!! What miserable excuses these two are for humans...
ReplyDeletePalin's never been in a courtroom before? Really! Ask Levi J.
ReplyDelete.................................
Bristol took Levi to court, not Sarah.
If this petty little email snafu can derail a major national campaign
ReplyDelete=========================
She didn't claim that Kernell derailed her campaign, only that he wanted to and that was his motive for breaking into the email account.
Kernell has already admitted this and his defense so far, "Yeah, so what?"
Greta should have asked Palin what would Jesus do.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to hear Palin say, "F**k Jesus!", in public. I'm sure she's said it at home lots of times.

Is Jesus staying out of this because he does not want the Wrath of Sarah to come down on him?
Wow, does she have the victim role down to an art. She has elevated what really amounts to a prank to a crime of trying to derail a presidential campaign and discredit a candidate.
ReplyDeleteWhat most of us would see as bad judgement by a kid (who was enabled in his "crime" by SP's stupidity in using a yahoo email acct secured by a password that most of the country could have guessed correctly) she sees as an attack on her candidacy. The equivalent of Watergate.
Knowing that she believes her daughter doesn't need to be held responsible for her "illegal" activities, which were very disruptive to the home owners, just makes my blood boil.
Justice = "just us" to the Palin family.
I can't believe she's trying to deflect her vindictiveness to this kid's defense attorneys. She is calling them incompetent and saying it's their fault that the kid faces so much prison time.
If this kid had accessed John Q. Public's yahoo acct. a federal trial would not be the outcome. There's no way that taxpayer dollars would go to a case like that. This kid is being made an example of solely because Sarah Palin is demanding justice for her victimhood.

ReplyDeleteThe "big unknown" of this speaking gig was speaking under oath!
ReplyDeleteThat Sarah is a ruthless dog, Kernell looks at her email and she wants him to get 50 years!
ReplyDeleteTodd gets Sarah pregnant and she punishes him with a life sentence!
Now Levi has a life sentence... stay away from those Palin girls!
On Greta's site, they asked the viewers if this "hacking of Palin's email" was comparable to Watergate and an idiotic 85% of the people replied that it was. That tells you just how looney $arah's followers are if they compare what this kid did to an action that brought down a Presidency. Is Palin really trying to say they would have won if it hadn't been for this? We know she never takes the blame for doing anything wrong. That little fact came across loud and clear in her book. It's amazing to see how she deflects all wrongdoing that she commits onto everyone else. She is so delusional that there is not a doubt in my mind that she is mentally ill.
ReplyDeletefirst time in court???
ReplyDeleteummm...didn't a judge threaten her with contempt during her sister's child custody trial if she and the rest of the family didn't shut up with the OTT nasty comments?
Sarah needs to get a grip on her paranoia. She seems to think that everybody except her friends on Fox is out to get her.
ReplyDeleteSarah derailed the campaign by simply being herself. She didn't need any help.
I totally agree with you, Sarah. It's clear this young man doesn't deserve a second chance. After all, did Track, Bristol or Willow get second chances?
ReplyDelete(What a whack job!)
Wasilla is off the phone grid? REALLY? When did that happen?
ReplyDelete
