This show is extra stupid today.
Here are my tweets:
The lights just flickered here in casa da Gryphen. Perhaps the Gods do not want me to watch SPA. Thanks, I appreciate the warning Gods!
1 hour ago via web
(However the Gods failed me, yet again, and I had electricity for the entire hour of Sarah Palin making my state look stupid.)
Okay WHO buys the idea that Todd is Palin's only technician on hand when she broadcasts from the fortress?
53 minutes ago via web
(Seriously the studio is filled with expensive equipment, that requires knowledgeable producers to run, and we are expected to believe that the amazing Todd Palin runs the whole thing by himself? No wonder Sarah did not want Joe McGinniss to look into her yard. Just imagine how many of these myths he could stick a pin into.)
No, not ALL Alaskan men have a mullet.
51 minutes ago via web
(The guy who they hired to take them rafting down the "treacherous" Matanuska river has a long luxurious mullet that would be the envy of every good ole boy at the Alabama state fair.)
Chuck is in the raft but Todd is not. I think Sarah is trying to kill her father. That is why he would not let her cock her own gun.
49 minutes ago via web
(He also stood well behind her when she shot on that hunting episode. Chuck is no dummy.)
Uh oh Willow snuck her boyfriend up. No he is not the one at the center of the new rumors. That is supposed to be revealed this week.
50 minutes ago via web
(It is the same Andy Almon who was so familiar with her house and the path to her bedroom. But NO he is not the "baby daddy" being named by the publication this next week.)
Those are baby rapids by most standards. So Chuck survived. This time.
46 minutes ago via web
Oops here comes Sarah's Trig centered pro-life commercial.
50 minutes ago via web
(She said that "people are jerks about her giving birth to a baby with Down syndrome," but that he is the "light of her life." I gagged a little at this obvious shot at liberals. Personally I wish she HAD been the one to give birth to Trig. That would have saved me many hours of scouring the internet and making phone calls all across the country for clues as to who his real mother is.)
Gottta earn your keep little one.
50 minutes ago via web
(Poor little guy.)
Did she really just slam Michelle Obama? Good God woman does it never stop with you?
50 minutes ago via web
(While making s'mores for her family the Grizzled Mama said "This is in honor of Michelle Obama." Can you believe that?)
Time to scare the old man.
48 minutes ago via web
Now she slammed bloggers. Hey, dummy, you're a blogger!
48 minutes ago via web
(She referred to "idiots and bloggers who do not like our family." Such a sweet disposition.)
Total setup with the hunters and clay pigeons. Are we REALLY supposed to buy that?
48 minutes ago via web
(While on her way to "Bones" cabin Sarah just "happens" across a couple of hunters out skeet shooting. She picks up their gun and hits every clay pigeon perfectly. Exactly what is the average IQ that this show is geared toward? Because Palin clearly thinks they are all idiots!)
They made the poor old guy wear "Sarah Palin Governor" hat. That is just abusive.
43 minutes ago via web
(This old guy "Bones" looks absolutely miserable that they are bothering him. I felt very sorry for him. I heard he died recently. I certainly hope this visit was not the cause.)
What? Is Chuck talking about dinosaur fossils being 250 million years old? How come Sarah's head did not explode?
41 minutes ago via web
(Chuck "finds" some fossils of seashells after breaking open some rocks and proceeds to give an impromptu science lesson where he talks about the dinosaurs having lived between 65 to 300 million years ago. My guess is that this was put in the show to put to rest Phil's claim that Palin told him the earth was only 6000 years old.)
Chuck is showing off his macabre pile of animal bones.
41 minutes ago via web
(You can see the pile of antlers and bones briefly in the clip attached to my earlier post.)
Peggy's restaurant is where my daughter's grandmother worked for years. And now Palin is ruining even that memory.
36 minutes ago via web
(True story. When my ex-wife's mother first brought her and her sister up here they spent hours in the backroom of Peggy's restaurant while my daughter's grandmother waited tables and brought back tasty pieces of pie for the girls. Margaret "Peggy" Lott died in 2006, so the woman in the show is not her.)
Now she is going to damage Martin Buser's credibility as well. He is a REAL Alaska musher, who uses dogs instead of snowmachines.
32 minutes ago via web
(Having lived around mushers several times in my life, I have mixed feelings about them. However I do hear good things about Buser and how he treats his dogs. In my opinion Susan Butcher was the Iditarod champion who treated her dogs the best.)
This episode is making me feel especially sorry for Piper.
30 minutes ago via web
(The poor kid looked miserable virtually the entire episode.)
No, he is does NOT have anything in common with Todd. Buser is the real thing!
30 minutes ago via web
(The Iron Dog covers more terrain, almost 2000 miles, but because the contestants are on snowmachines it is usually over in a handful of days. However the Iditarod is 1,150 miles long, with only dogs pulling you through the blinding snow, and it has been known to last over a month before the last musher crosses the finish line in Nome.)
How many more episodes of this moosecrap are there? This one is unbelievably bad.
23 minutes ago via web
Well you do have to admit that my state is gorgeous. I wish Palin would move and stop blocking my view of it.
19 minutes ago via web
(It seems like every time there is a panoramic shot of the mountains or some untouched wilderness they cut to Sister Sarah yapping like a maniac and mess up the whole thing.)
No Sarah it is not YOUR Alaska, it belongs to ALL of us.
14 minutes ago via web
(It always bothers me that she says "our Alaska" as if it belongs to JUST her and her family. NO IT DOESN'T!)
'Let's Try Whiskey' !!!!
ReplyDeletelove you!!!
I was just thinking...SP was probably[pinches fingers together] this close to saying "Why, naturally, I read IM first thing every morning." when Ms. Couric asked her that question..."I read everything Gryphen writes, all of it!" was what she really, truly was thinking
ReplyDeleteWhat is tonight's drinking game? Every time she uses a political slogan/motto thingy? Every time she slams someone?
ReplyDeleteOMG, I believe she did scare that old man to death! Note the "In Memory of" at the tail end of the program!
ReplyDeleteSo disgusting how she is always accusing "bloggers" of attacking her family, and when the lovely First Lady is promoting healthy lifestyles for America's children she attacks her by accuses her of not letting us have dessert!
ReplyDeleteThanks Gryph! Looking forward to a comprehensive "review" of this crap.
ReplyDeletexoxo
The whole episode SUCKED except for the puppies.
ReplyDeleteYUP - little poopie puppies easily beat out Sarah. The puppies should have pooped on her!!
Sounds like Palin caught in another lie.
ReplyDeleteShe says that she waitressed to put herself through school - then turns around in Peggy's restaurant and asks 'How can they do this all day?'
If she 'truly' waitressed, she would have known and not needed to ask the question - therefore I say she's full of shit once again!
Gryphen,
ReplyDeleteIt's time the Town assessed 'proper realty taxes' on the second house with the studio. They've set the 'building appraisal' in 2010 at $5,500. It was $0 in 2009. It's listed under 1140.
The linking building between the two homes have not been assessed either as a 'building'. There is not change to the 1120 assessment.
A 'studio' never looks complete and therefore they could say the building is not complete for decades -- that's bullshit as it's a money making pit as you know Fox would be paying for use of the studio.
Off topic - I just watched Michelle Obama reading the night before Christmas to the children - couple of wonderful comments
ReplyDelete- Her children aren't there - because they are still in school
- When asked where was Rudolph - a wonderful explanation that he wasn't needed that year because the weather was so good.
Talk about someone who understands children, can think on her toes, speaks with joy and fun to all and is an amazing lady. And then chatting with the children - just wonderful.
The Screecher doesn't know what it's all about.
A visitor from Wasilla, Alaska logged on
ReplyDelete24 seconds ago...hi, you silly Palin!
Followed it, and what a Tweet it was. I watched a couple of shows in the "Law & Order SVU" marathon. More reality in fiction.
ReplyDeleteWho owns the 800,000 dollar RV?
ReplyDelete(It is the same Andy Almon who was so familiar with her house and the path to her bedroom. But NO he is not the "baby daddy" being named by the publication this next week.)
ReplyDelete----
Dude, Andy watched her walk the 30 feet to her room. Not exactly a maze of epic proportions there G. She has dated him since last April at least until mid Nov. I smell bullshit on alaskawtf the way I smelled it on the newest Bristol pregnancy. Bristol has been the same size since mid May. See the Orlando pics, see the July pics, see the current pics. SAME SIZE, actually shes toner and slightly slmmer now but she was the same size in May and July. erratic schedules and desk work will alter metabolism. Weight fluctuation seems to run in the family.
It's really sad that someone in that family cant have normal weight flux without someone screaming pregnancy. and that is not Sarah's doing. No celebrities deserve that kind of attention. and that is why they revolt and sometimes abuse paparazzis
OT
ReplyDeleteGryphen- I know you've said you don't want to report on the Willow-with-child story because it's another writer's story...but, will you comment once it's broken and add what you may know?
$arah Palin is jealous because unlike her, the Obamas don't have any fat kids.
ReplyDeleteThere have been 2 RVs used so far. The Palins do own an RV but I dont know what it looks like. I'd guess it's the one from this ep as well as the first ep. I dont think the salmon episode one is due to the plastic on the floor. but who knows
ReplyDeleteAre we certain she is human?
ReplyDeleteHey Sarah, the President and First Lady DO NOT THINK ABOUT YOU!!
ReplyDeleteThis is what the think about
http://mrsgrapevine.com/2010/11/president-obama-first-lady-michelle-obama-are-still-in-love/
Sarah has waitressed before in Dillingham. Most of this show is scripted. (when I ay most, I mean all except maybe some of her wailing)
ReplyDeleteWe have learned that Sarah can shoot backwards while blindfolded (almost), drive a team of huskies, catch and kill fish, shoot a caribou, teach science, interact with local people, go in a boat, look at a bear and put her family on public display while accusing people of trying to destroy her children. I can understand this attention getting stuff in the world of celebrity, but I fail to see how any of these things are qualifications to run for President. Several members of the Republican party have now suggested that instead of doing all of the above, Sarah should have been reading and studying, instead of hamming it up for the cameras.
ReplyDeleteOooh, speaking of cameras, does Sarah's studio qualify for one of the tax write offs for the film industry. Let's face it, any of the stuff being "filmed" for TV is being "video'd," not filmed. Your daughter is the expert; we'll welcome her opinion about Sarah's studio as a write off under Alaska's tax incentives for the film industry.
Sarah is really starting to scare me with all her macho displays of athletic prowess, etc. She's just butchy at this point, except when she flirts with any strange male that crosses her path.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I feel sorry for Piper.
And it was beyond pathetic when she mentioned the bloggers - Sarah, rule #1 when you wish to be a national figure - IGNORE your critics, unless it's absolutely necessary to acknowledge them. It's basic politics we're talking here.
The shots at Michelle are disgusting. She is light years above Sarah as a woman and a human being.
O/T The young child that is the son of "cousin Ina (?) does NOT appear to be afflicted with DS but, possibly FAS. His profile suggests it. Besides the obvious...seems as though that Heath/Palin gene pool is thoroughly polluted.
ReplyDeleteI noticed after their trip in their mammoth f'ing bus and as they all gathered at Chuck Sr.'s house for a family dinner, Sarah said something about how Alaskan it was that they gather together as a family. WTF? Does she think the rest of us in the lower 48 don't have family get-togethers? Yes, how very Alaskan of your family to eat together!
ReplyDelete"erratic schedules and desk work will alter metabolism."
ReplyDeleteAnd steady exercise will, too. Into the weight loss side of the equation.
So which is is, is she preggers, or did she simply NOT work at all on DWTS. Or both?
IN other words - WHAT "desk work?"
Piper does not wear a seatbelt on the way to the musher. I guess it escaped this "wonderful mother's" attention? She's sitting in the middle back seat. It's a TV show, wouldn't you want people to think you're a good mother? Nice Toyota Land Cruiser, um, $70,000+ vehicle.
ReplyDelete@7:31 p.m.,
ReplyDeleteBoo-hoo...
Just seeing the First Family's interactions with children and guests at Christmas is a delight. All so warm and down-to-earth. You can tell they love each other and their children - all children in fact. I can see no phoniness there. And then, I see Sarah and family in Haiti. Total disconnect from the people there - especially the children. Petting a child's head like it's a dog does not show empathy. Clenched smiles and constant hand washing does nothing to help the suffering people. Why not send them a hefty check from your slush fund, Sarah? And fly over next time. Your trip was a waste of jet fuel.
ReplyDeleteThere is an interesting new photo of Bristol, in Haiti, on Media Insider's site. It's from the back and to the side, but it's fairly suspicious.
ReplyDeleteIf Bristol goes under the radar now, that will be suspicious in itself.
I found it interesting that SP said to Gryphen, "so you are the one trying to destroy my children", or something to that effect.
Interesting that she focused on the children part (since we all know this is an equal opportunity effort at this point). She is most worried about the kids right now, apparently...hmmmm.
None of this family should have a weight gaining problem with all the activities the family does together out in nature all the time!!
ReplyDeleteROFLMAO!!
Last time this fake family spent time doing anything together was on the campaign. They do 'Nothing' together.
To hear they spend time at her parents - BULLSHIT. It is on video many times where Chuckie has said he has not spoken with her.
Would someone please explain to Sarah that being a true Christian requires forgiving other people.
ReplyDeleteIt's AA that requires forgiving yourself. But I think even AA has a quota.
Of course in AA you are supposed to stop your obsessive destructive behavior and stop hurting others ans living in denial.
She is truly consumed with hate.
Sarah Palin’s Disgusting, Cavalier Attitude Towards Domestic Violence
ReplyDeletePalin then addresses a report released in 1993 which found that Super Bowl Sunday is the biggest day of the year for violence against women. Palin claims that the report was false and that based on her own “extensive experience” watching the Super Bowl in the presence of men, she thinks reports of heightened domestic violence incidents on Super Bowl Sunday are “a myth.” She states “These manipulations (of domestic violence statistics) do more than just serve the big-government agenda of liberal feminists; they serve the anti-woman agendas of tyrannical regimes everywhere.” Note that Palin has linked “liberal feminists” to “tyrannical regimes everywhere,” has not substantiated the claim, which is wholly lacking in documented support, and then leaves her readers to believe that the false connection between “liberal feminists” and “tyrannical regimes everywhere” exists. One wonders, who among Sarah Palin’s readership is buying this outlandish stupidity?
Here with Palin, we are deep, deep, deep into a paranoia-inflected mental illness involving persecution complexes stemming from delusional fears of “big government.” Having declaimed Super Bowl Sunday domestic violence statistics “pro-big-government propaganda,” Palin does not once talk about the facts of domestic violence and how American society might best send a strong and unwavering message that we will not tolerate such crimes. Not a word does Palin say on that subject. It is, frankly, dismaying that she attacks modern feminism on this basis, in the name of fighting “big government,” but has not one thing to say about the very real problems of domestic violence. It is as though she were denying that domestic violence occurs anywhere in the United States.
http://www.politicususa.com/en/palin-domestic-violence
Just curious is there some other significance to smores than the obvious racial one?
ReplyDeleteWe know Sarah is racist but she is usually more indirect.
Once again they go off to have fun and leave their son Trig behind.
ReplyDeleteI don't know any parents would even consider doing such a thing.
the only 'food' she ever 'prepares' is crap; all sugar crap.
ReplyDeleteshe eats tacobell the kids eat
sugar crap. every picture has sugar crap in it.
she doesnt cook, she doesnt prepare 'meals'; she offers junk and crap.
anyone ever see any of them eat REAL food? or the REAL food one would eat living in the cold dark of AK.
do they all exist on sugar?
that would esplain some things.
i know WINTER down in the lower 48 means eating meals.
actual real life meals.
not cake...
i bet NO one has ever seen this woman eat a meal.
I have to say, you're 'live blogging' of the tv-show sucks.
ReplyDeleteI do not watch the show, mainly because I cannot stand SPalin's way of talking, it drives me nuts.
Still, your 'video-blogging' sucks.
I still love your blog, I love your writing, I love your insights.
I'd love you more if you'd let go of the teases and actually put out some disturbing/actual/destructive FACTS.
You have too many teases, it makes me somewhat uneasy. Come out with the facts - and no, your (non)encounter with Palin at the Costco doesn't count. She hates you, we all know that. She hates many others.
Stop 'teasing' with facts. If you do that much longer you will lose credibility. Truly. And I'm on your side!
I don't how many times I'm going to say this, but Good Gawd That Woman is Stupid!!
ReplyDeleteWhy aren't they not hanging out at the Petersville cabin? That's where we go....
ReplyDelete7:10:
ReplyDeleteI wondered about that hefty priced RV as well.
Up there especially, thats a 500-800k RV.
I wonder if its the book-mobile stripped of the blue addon paint job.
8:12:
smores are all she knows how to 'cook'.
NO WAY!!! Sarah at the Windbreak???
ReplyDelete"Bristol has been the same size since mid May."
ReplyDeleterolling eyes at Wasilla - couldn't resist posting right after you logged in could ya'.
Bristol grew two extra chins since May. Her abdomen grew exponentially on DWTS when she should have been toning up. It's obvious to the world that you are blind.
"We know Sarah is racist but she is usually more indirect."
ReplyDeletereferring to Obama as Sambo is real indirect.
I was visiting my parents and they were watching the show. My father said they were waiting for the sled dog section.
ReplyDeleteHaving hunted all his life and having used sled dogs to survive out on the trapline all winter, he liked watching anything pertaining to Alaska and most especially sledding.
I mentioned the caribou incident last week and he laughed about how she kept missing. No hunter would take five shots.
He then shook his head about how she kept reiterating to her father how great (good) she was at doing things. Begging for praise or fishing for praise is pathetic.
When you hunt, you shoot to kill, after the kill, someone would probably say 'good shot' and that's about it. No whooping for joy and jumping up and down. A smile of satisfaction and then get down to work taking care of the kill. Respect the animal.
Palin makes me ill that she remotely 'represents' Alaska through her stupidity, meanness and ignorant ways.
@8:12 - The "smores" reference was not racist IMO - it was a slam at Michelle Obama's advocacy for healthy eating.
ReplyDeleteSP turned it into "Michelle Obama does not want us to eat deserts," which is, of course, ludicrous.
scarah is looking/acting worse and worse with each episode. She thinks she will gain points slamming our VERY popular First Lady - Palin's snark will turn off everyone but her tiny base.
My neighbor was defending SP, saying "she can learn, I would vote for her"....until neighbor saw a couple episodes of SP's AK - now the neighbor is sick of her and thinks SP is a sicko.
"However the Gods failed me, yet again, and I had electricity for the entire hour of Sarah Palin making my state look stupid."
ReplyDeleteDude, again, be careful!
Many many Iraqis would wish for an hour of electricity....most don't get that.
The US invaded a country that had great infrastructure. Sure, dictatorship and all, but great infrastructure!
The US DECIMATED that infrastructure!
The US literally HOLDS HANDS (we all know that picture of Bush with the Saudi prince. Puke) with the dictatorial/monarchist regime/, yet Saddam Hussein had to go.
Mind you, under Saddam Hussein, women lived in freedom, were able to get university level education.
Now the US invaded. FREEDOM!!
BS, as we all know now.
Iraq has been bombed to the stone ages - as have the rights of women in Iraq.
The US presence INCREASES attacks from natives. No NOT terrorism, simply 'under ground resistance', much like the revered resistance in Spain, Italy, France, Belgium and (most closely to me) the Netherlands.
One nation's freedom fighter is another nation's terrorist.
I ask the US - who's the terrorist?
Who's the one who tortures? Who condones the torture, yet tries to prosecute those who expose???
THe US thinks, still, that it's the one and only superpower and that the rest of the world should be grateful.
Think about that...
Also, 'the rest of the world' is ultimately bigger than the US.
Sheesh.
Piper Diaper = way to humiliate your child on national television, AGAIN, Sarah Palin. No, people do not think you're clever for coming up with a rhyme for "Piper" (just as we didn't when we heard "Bristol the Pistol"). We think you're a bitch for calling your child by such a ridiculous and unflattering nickname, and in public, no less.
ReplyDeleteI think Sarah's probably a racist, too, but give her a break on the s'mores comment. She was getting in her meangirl dig at FLOTUS for her school lunch program initiative. Sarah's too ignorant to realize the benefits of better nutrition. If it weren't for the five-star restaurants she can now afford, her kids wouldn't eat anything that didn't come out of a box or can.
ReplyDeleteThis woman is so F'ing stupid on so many levels, which she knows but will not accept.
ReplyDeleteSo gee Scarah, what other clever rhyming nicknames have you come up with for all your kids?
Bristol the pistol.
Piper diaper.
or is this a scheme, to get the internet guessing so they'd look bad and you could say looky they are so mean to my children.
You are a freak.
Toad, why are you still with her? and where is your protection for the emotional health of your children. Forget what the fricken frozen queen demands.
And a heads up Toad, if you think you have to put up with and cover her crazy now, ho ho ho, Merry Christmas, wait till she is in full blown peri-menopause, lol, you won't know what has hit you and you will want a way far away hidden cave, lol, not the one next door that she has appeased you with.
just a heads up.
Rule #1 If a photo appears a week after the event, and it shows a slim profile of Bristol, maybe there was time to photoshop it.
ReplyDeleteIt is very sad that Sarah called her daughter Piper Diaper. On the other hand, poor Piper could have also been labeled the Viper, a Windshield Wiper, or a sniper. If Piper moved around alot, she could be Hyper Piper. None of is very flattering to a little kid.
Do they really give those affectionate names to each other like Todd Clod, Track Smack, and Hip Tripp? And, what do they call Trig that is kind?
I happened to pass the show when I was flipping through channels and got the the repeat of last week's show. All I can say is Sarah is so full of shit that I don't know how her family can listen to her without laughing out loud at everything she says. She says this is how they "always" camp. Hell, it was rainy, cold and full of bugs--I'd go home, too. I've been camping many times and there was nothing fun about being outside in the cold rain.
ReplyDeleteIf this is what they usually do, why the hell does she have those two cabins that are so damn big? Kate wasn't so much out of her element as she was a lot more intelligent in wanting to get the hell out of that weather with 8 kids. Do you know what it's like when you actually have to take care of your kids yourself, Sarah? No, of course not. If this is such a family trip, where the hell is your youngest son????? He's hardly ever seen on the show!
I saw Kate on the show pick up a shotgun for the first time and hit a bear in the kill zone. She was polite and appreciative of the time that her children spent with Chuck Heath. She was not bitching about anything really all that unusual. I can't believe the hypocrisy when Palin talks about being uncomfortable at a red carpet event-bullshit. I also never heard about Kate demanding a specific size Learjet for travel.
There is nothing unique about your camping, Sarah. Alaskans like you are no more rugged than anyone I know who hunts or goes camping, including myself. You don't have enough intelligence to come in out of the rain.
Again, if this is a family trip, where is your youngest son? You're a rotten excuse for a mother, $arah, and your poor kids have the scars to prove it.
ok, with little on the tv tonight i caught much of the kate episode and the caribou
ReplyDeletekilling episode, up to just when "she" shot.
Someone had killed that caribou at another time, earlier, later, whatever; she did not kill it.
you dont repeatedly fire off rounds near an animal who does not flee. if it can.
something bothered me about that last week seeing a bit of the caribou running back and forth...?..what?
she may have been firing rounds but she wasnt 'hunting' that caribou. It was already down and on film.
film that was spliced in.
i caught most of the kate episode, i felt sorry for kate, as never before. knowing she was reluctant nothing was done to offer her some comfort full knowing she was doing this for her kids, not her.
Instead they made a joke of her, to the extent the sniveling shit piper wouldnt even consider walking the kids she played with out.
why wasnt toddy finding firewood: why wasnt He doing something around camp
like most sober men will actually DO.
the only thing it seems they could find to burn were sticks.
then it became green branches fully needled.
is there no one who knows how to gather firewood?
...they did cut down a tree.
not ready to burn but hey it looked good.
leaving multiple coolers sitting around is The Fastest Way to attrack bears.
idiots.
when kate left the rest left.
Are there any zoning issues with the "studio" in a "house"? Business license issues?
ReplyDeleteWhat entity is the lessee or owner of the expensive equipment?
Maybe Rupert airlifted it in for his good friend?
I feel almost guilty for letting myself be annoyed by this terrible person, but then I think she's REALLY expecting to be a presidential nominee!
ReplyDeleteThat makes my skin crawl.
Mrs.Palin has the gall to criticize Mrs.Obama's interest in children's food education programs?
Disgusting.
Mrs.Palin should be hung by her toes in a public square until her hair extensions fall out.
Dear Uncle G.,
ReplyDeleteI just watched a show called "Bully Beatdown" on MTV that is produced by Mark Burnett.
The premise of the show is that people who are bullied write into the show explaining their bully problem & then the bully fights a MMA fighter in a caged match.
Maybe if you write in that Sarah is bulling you, they will call her out & have her fight one of the MMA fighters.
Make sure Sarah knows that she can win $10,000 if she wins. She will do it in a heartbeat.
If Mark Burnett will do a show like this, how much credibility does SPA have?
Just a thought.
To the commenter discussing Women and Domestic Violence on Super Bowl Sunday. Maybe one of the reasons Twitler can't acknowledge domestic violence, is because she is the violent one in the relationship.
ReplyDeleteWhat struck me was how sad Piper throughout this episode. Even when the musher guy showed her the puppies, she had no joy, nothing. The blogger, Michelle Obama, and Trig abortion comments showed yet again, how Sarah is obsessed with the President, first lady, and petty vendettas (especially with you Gryphen).
ReplyDeleteThe other comment she made about giving her kids alot of freedom, made me choke on my beer.
Need more proof she's pregnant?
ReplyDeletehttp://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=8cbjbwlgbxx08dx&thumb=6
For some reason, I actually kind of interested in the program. Love the scenery.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, just what every child, almost adolescent, wants is for someone to tell him that his mother wrote and told him to remember to wear deodorant ON NATIONAL TV! What was the motivation behind that humiliation!
Lucy.
She ain't running
ReplyDeletehttp://www.politicsdaily.com/2010/12/18/six-out-of-10-americans-say-they-would-definitely-not-support-pa/
Wait until the kids start calling Piper, Diaper. Family counseling time.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how much Kate got for "taking one" for Sarah so that she could show, by contrast, just how rugged she is. I found that whole part of the drama so scripted.
ReplyDeleteNicole Wallace blasts Palin...again.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.calgaryherald.com/news/colleague+attacks+Palin+multiple+flaws/4002252/story.html
I think the producer of the show doesn't like Palin. I think he is letting her expose herself for the lying, idiot, who holds a grudge forever, that she is. She just doesn't realize how it comes across on the show.
ReplyDeleteI just saw a clip of her being a waitress. What does working in a diner have to do with showing people Alaska?? We have diners all over in the lower 48, does she know that? Then someone commented about what a happy, family oriented person she is. They LOVE the show and her, more each week. Gag me!!
ReplyDeleteHas anyone ever been quoted, in print or on tape, saying Sarah should have aborted Trig?
ReplyDeleteThe only people I ever hear repeating that meme are Palin fans. I have never seen or heard any actual person give voice to this idea in earnest.
So, please, C4P, let's see who said Sarah should have had an abortion. I think it's something Sarah and y'all dreamed up in your ever growing bid to feel persecuted. First sources only, please.
I am convinced that TLC is trying to make her look bad, and she is stupid enough to believe them when they say; "Oh no, sarah, this is good television." The moment I was the most upset was when she scared that old man, and you might have missed it, but she was mocking him. He said something unintelligible and she mocked him like some 6 year old bully?????? I was appalled. I want to smack her and wash her mouth out. Poor old guy. Then TLC edits her astonishment when he declares that scara was like a sister?!?!?!? TLC what is that? Makes scara look shallow, which is something we all know, but TLC just confirms it and she okays the footage??? I don't believe it. Of all the tape they have, this is the best they can do to make her look good. I wonder what hits the floor. If the show is scripted, then does scara come up with the digs at Michelle or do they? Either way it's in such poor taste, especially for someone who wants to be taken seriously. I am sick of this BS. When is the MSM gonna call this nut case out. Would some one please ask her why she feels the need to attack Michelle on healthy eating and what exactly is she trying accomplish. That is a very fair question. Also loved where the camera crew showed willow and her friend deface beautiful Alaska by carving their names in fallen logs. Again, TLC is trying to make this family look bad--which is ok with me, but I don't understand why the paylins allow it. Where is the extended family asking scara and toad, "Do you realize how bad you look?" Then instead of talking about trigs gains and personality, the only footage we see is where she attacks the bloggers for having a issue with trig. Well, scara, we don't have an issue with you giving birth to a special needs child, although at 41 one would wonder why you were not taking precautions against pregnancy, but we do have issues with all the hocus pocus surrounding your stories. Get the facts straight, honey. Oh, yeah, that's right, "facts" don't belong in your dictionary of words. Scara, if your strategy is to drive us libs crazy with your stupidity, you are succeeding, but only at your own peril. We just want to live in a world where people like you are just fiction, and where we watch movies and read books about such things for fun, for you to actually exist and take money from disadvantaged people and disrupt our political process, then expect some serious backlash and stop crying about it. We are angry, crazy, wee wee up, because you do not contribute to our desire to move forward in our society, you get in the way and tear it down. PLEASE, PLEASE go away so we can move forward.
ReplyDeleteShe is obviously in peri-menopause now, and has been for awhile, judging from her behavior swings and her skin/hair changes. And EVERY DAY brings her closer to the full blown menopause hormone storm. Run everybody, get far far away while you can!
ReplyDeleteWomen who have pre-exisitng mental health issues are your worst nightmare when menopause hits them. There aren't enough drugs to make them seem normal, by any definition of the word. OMG wait until it hits.
I was hoping I misheard and there were other words between "Piper diaper" but obviously not. What a lovely mother-daughter "just us" outing of non-stop "look at me!" activities with a TLC crew. See happy Piper in the front seat, then see unhappy silent Piper in back seat after her mom makes her waitress (come on, Piper's just a kid). And how 'Bones' was treated by SP was just deplorable.
ReplyDeleteSaw this hilarious comment on Frum Forum's "We watch SPA so you don't have to":
"Thanos316 // Dec 19, 2010 at 4:12 pm
I thought ‘Flava Of Love’ took the cake for worst reality show ever but the Palins are certainly giving dirty ol’ Flav a run for his money."
Let's be thankful for this show. Look at it this way. Sometimes the universe gives us gifts.
ReplyDeleteIs Sarah someone who would take the advice of experienced pols and go back to govern Alaska well for another term, develop an area of policy cred, read and learn and prepare? But nooooooo! Sarah knows best. So she quits and defiantly, proudly ridicules poeple who do those things instead!
Will Sarah us the opportunity of a ghostwritten book or two to make herself appear to be better educated, more informed, hell even less insane? But nooooo. Sarah once again decides she knows best and gives a mind-numbingly boring tour of her vindictive, petty little psyche.
Topped only by the 8-part 30 minute TLC episodes where she actually shows herself and her family to be far worse than we imagined! She could have used this wonderful opportunity to really polish that brand, even if there was a lot of spackle and bondo involved. But noooo!
My point is that Sarah really is her own worst enemy. She is just unbelievably stupid, but it's nice to see her hubris bring her down.
And her trajectory has turned, as surely as tomorrow's winter solstice marks a turning.
Sarah used the power of the Governor's press office to insinuate to the public that pro-choice Alaskans would have insisted she abort her pretend pregnancy.
ReplyDeleteOn official stationary and web resources, she spoke as if she was God and again, kept insisting that no one wanted her to 'have' this baby. A good Down's Syndrome baby is one that is never carried to term. That just helped build up her arsenal of support of the pro-life fundies and helped build her reputation as a defender of life.
I want to know who, if given the opportunity to even know she was supposedly pregnant within the first or even second trimester, would have recommended Sister Sarah abort her baby?
I would have tsk, tsk'd that she'd been irresponsible with her sex life considering her duties to her young family, aging ovaries and eggs and a demanding big time job she campaigned hard for. . .but I never, as a pro-choice woman and a civic minded Alaskan constituent, would have ever suggested she terminate her pregnancy.
But once I realized I didn't buy her pregnancy but that she was opportunistically and shrewdly 'carrying' a special needs baby, I realized the lengths this horrible woman would go to to further her ambitions.
What a bitch.
I waitressed and clerked at an Alaskan Law firm while attending just ONE college.
ReplyDeleteI managed to do that, and also too, read books not assigned, all in four years.
That overreaching underachiever is always fighting windmills, assuming that she's defending herself and her hillbilly clan from unseen enemies and issues that will encroach on their right to get Type-II Diabetes, struggle with obesity and suffer preventable death casualties (skeet shooting, caribou hunting, private airplane travel, yee-haw ATV'ing) teenage sex/pregnancy, illiteracy and everything that Sarah tries to make a great American tradition.
Gryphen, did you know you were a security risk to Sarah?

Afternoon all. I see one of the pathetic ‘usual suspects’ got booted from the Anchorage book signing. What on earth was this imbecile hoping to acheive? Brain the size of a shrivelled pea not to mention a security risk. h/t JP at T4P
Alaska Pride reports that a couple of the usual suspects were among the crowd:
“No significant disturbances broke out, although security ejected at least two people. One was a woman wearing a “Worst Governor Ever” shirt, and the other was a known anti-Palin blogger spotted by Todd Palin. Alaska Dispatch confirmed the blogger to be Jesse Lee Griffin, who edits The Immoral Minority. Griffin posted about the encounter, and said things were going well until he told Todd his name. Then Todd’s face darkened, he whispered something in Sarah’s ear, and Sarah allegedly told Griffin “Oh, you are the one who is trying to destroy my children!” Griffin was then escorted out of the place, sans autograph”.
Dear Sarah Palin,
ReplyDeleteYou know, it actually doesn't bother Michelle Obama if you willingly decide to feed your children crap. I'm sorry you went to all that trouble because you thought it would make her feel bad, but, you see, she really doesn't think about you at all.
Sincerely,
Aunt Snow
So, please, C4P, let's see who said Sarah should have had an abortion. I think it's something Sarah and y'all dreamed up in your ever growing bid to feel persecuted.
ReplyDeleteShe keeps returning to that idea - that someone, somewhere was "angry" that she carried Trig; that someone, somewhere told her it would be better to abort him.
I'm thinking she's reliving in her mind some internal family drama or conflict that occurred. Something very personal and private. And she's projecting it by proxy onto her political opponents.
Anon @ 8:18 p.m. - well isn't Trig so lucky to be considered by Palin a "Joy" and a blessing to Sarah's day. She chose to bring him into this world just so that he can always be 'left behind' when the Family gets to go live a Rich Wild Life in Alasssska!
ReplyDeleteNicole Wallace, the latest Republican speaking out about Palin:
ReplyDeleteFormer colleague attacks Palin's 'multiple flaws'
"She has very obvious deficiencies that will reveal themselves as the nominating contest gets closer,"

I've never read or heard of anyone saying $arah should have had an abortion. Right to Choose is exactly that; people who believe in the Right to Choose want women to be able to choose, which is what $arah did (maybe!). Frankly, I think she, her show and everything else about her are fake.
ReplyDeleteAunt Snow, I believe you are right about the abortion projection. If I had to bet money on it, I'd say it has to do with the Track Menard pregnancy.
ReplyDeleteI suspect Sarah's father Chuck is the only one to tell her to abort again.
ReplyDelete"Is Chuck talking about dinosaur fossils being 250 million years old?"
ReplyDeleteGood for Chuck. It was Sally that took the kids to church, first Catholic (who don't teach Biblical creation literally), then Pentacostal. Perhaps she switched to the non-denominational "scare gays straight" church when Sarah did.
Anon 8:12 pm
ReplyDeleteI think that the S'mores comment was a slam at Michelle Obama's anti-obesity campaign. Silly Sarah has to take the position that her making S'mores and giving her children fatty, sugary snacks is actually going to hurt or offend Michelle Obama, or undermine her very intelligent effort. It only hurts her own children. News flash! The Obamas pay no attention to you, Sarah.
Just who are these people who told Palin to abort Trig? Does she not remember her own story? She told no one - not even her children that she was "pregnant." Then, she suddenly popped after McCain sealed the nomination and "gave birth" after the wild plane ride. The only person who questioned whether to continue the pregnancy was Sarah herself, as she admits in her book. Since Sarah does not read and retain information, she is hoping that everyone else is like her and will believe her latest version. To be a good liar, one must have a good memory. Fail.

Nah, it's just Sarah using children as shields again. We even tried to destroy Trig in utero! (Whose utero I'm not sure but definitely not hers.) Melly
dmoreno56 @ 4:50 am
ReplyDeleteActually, when Sarah was "allegedly" pregnant with Trig in 2008, she would have been 44. Not too responsible was she, at that age?
Now I will say that I have heard in more traditional areas that Sarah should've had an abortion - half because of the downs aspect and half because of her age and occupation
ReplyDeleteBoth reasons horrified me
4:52: "Women who have pre-exisitng mental health issues are your worst nightmare when menopause hits them. There aren't enough drugs to make them seem normal, by any definition of the word. OMG wait until it hits."
ReplyDeleteIs this a fact? You make menopause out to be a major health problem that has to be treated (look where that got us--higher risks with hormone replacement) It's a completely natural part of life that doesn't turn women into Banshees. Palin is the major health problem. Not Trig, not her other kids, not the press, not elites, not menopause. Palin.
She practically brags about poor parenting "We like to give our children freedom, we trust them, they make mistakes sometimes, unfortunately for them sometimes they get reported in the National Enquirer". So she is saying the tabloid reporting is correct?
ReplyDeleteDid Sarah actually say or suggest that she had worked at Peggy's to save money for college?
ReplyDeleteA blog is commending her for showing Piper where she used to work.
Another day of getting herself out there, another day of liking her less. Hey, Sarah, how's that "Hope I changey" stuff workin'?
ReplyDeleteSarah, I'm offended at the way you KEEP going on and on about aborting Trig. Like me, many people would consider any child a blessing. Many people, including pro-choice women, have chosen to give birth to DS babies and have not regretted their choice, despite the difficulties and challenges. I have read moving testimonies from pro-choice mothers of DS children. Big difference between their narratives and yours: Their stories don't remain static, don't end with the decision not to abort. They talk about their children as real people, with unique needs and talents. They talk about daily achievements and struggles. They talk about LIFE with a DS child. You just talk, ad nauseum, about how noble you are for not aborting Trig (and come on, we all know you never had to actually make that decision because you weren't even pregnant). If you really value his LIFE, why don't you talk about his LIFE and not just his existence in utero? Until you're prepared to do that, in the words of your own daughter, "STFU."
ReplyDelete"Piper Diaper" ? ? ? Tell me you made that up? She did not call her that in front of the nation? Why the passive aggression toward Piper? She is nine or ten? What has Piper done? You can see by her demeanor that she is sensitive and taking things in without any healthy outlet.
ReplyDeleteI thought when Piper's face was smashed into the cake, that was as low as they would show? What a pitiful scene for the sake of family fun or what it was they meant to portray. Wasn't Tripp there to learn who is family target? Piper is abused no matter how they want to play it off and it is a spectacle all the producers have decided to showcase. There is nothing anyone can do to help her? We are to enable this behavior along with the TLC corporation?
I totally have a hard time swallowing what Sarah Palin said to Gryphen? Quick someone defog her mirrors. The projection is astounding.
Where are the child experts and psychologists that care about the leadership Sarah Palin is demonstrating to the nation in Mark Burnett's Palin political commercial? They are selling the whole family. We know that Sarah aims to lead and she is doing this show in part to roll with the qualities she puts out. It's her way or the high way. Her role model style with children is a large part of what she has to give the world. In regards to children, food is the number one item she wants to take on, since it's all she has "against" the popular First Lady. I don't see how even 10 of her rabid followers aren't appalled by Sarah's support of childhood obesity and diabetes. Also she flaunts her cuteness with the nick names. GW was famous for his nick names, I am not aware if he humiliated or tagged young children. Tagging is subtle, yet very important at Piper's age for her self esteem. Piper is the butt of bad family gamesters. It is worse for Piper because she is tagged in front of the whole world as "Piper Diaper." We see how she went along with the face in the cake. The child will do anything to be accepted and liked in that family. It is all she knows. She is trapped and may love having the limelight at any cost. We have seen how Bristol is continually attracted to public humiliation and she appears to be clueless about her choices. What we are seeing with Piper may explain why Bristol is a world class masochist.
ReplyDeleteWhy are there no experts, psychologists, true Christians, psychiatrists, Dr. Laura types that will stand up for children when it comes to the brand that Sarah is trying to sell? She is giving a teachable moment to those that care. She is bringing attention to the subjects of diet, use/abuse and public humiliation of young children.
Lucy, What better way does Sarah P. know to say you stink? That is Sarah P. when she is plays diplomat.
ReplyDeleteShe's sitting in the middle back seat. It's a TV show, wouldn't you want people to think you're a good mother? 7:44 PM
ReplyDeleteOnly Britney Spears can't get by with that.
I'm not sure what the Willow preggo rumors are about, but this is what I know as fact. About a month ago, Willow was pulled out of school and does NOT attend Colony anymore. I also know that she was at a party on Friday night (an innocent one w/ parents in attendance and no drinking- at least that the parents knew of) and according to someone very close to me who was in attendance, it did not appear to them that she was with child. Andy was also at this party with her.
ReplyDeleteSo, where is she going to school now? The famous Palin "homeschool"? Why was she taken out of school to begin with? Can you give us any hints as to what YOU know Gryph?
@ 6:29-
ReplyDeleteYou are exactly right. I DID waitress for several years and I say, once a waitress, always a waitress- at heart anyway! I know EXACTLY how they can do this all day,I often help bus my own table andI always overtip! Old habits die hard to be sure.
'I want to know who, if given the opportunity to even know she was supposedly pregnant within the first or even second trimester, would have recommended Sister Sarah abort her baby?'
ReplyDeleteUpchuck Heath...and it's not the first time either.
If Levi speaks the truth, Sarah called Trig the "retard." Willow shoves Piper's head into the food they will be eating and that is acceptable in the Palin house. IMO these are generational behaviors that they are passing on. The family members all know their positions and now they want to teach the nation.
ReplyDeletePalin said this was their first time to raft down the Matanuska River. Good grief! That such a rugged, outdoorsy family has never rafted a river just 35 miles from their home (and especially one with such an incredible glacier!) is really telling. Palin is constantly blowing her cover. Then, less than 5 minutes later, when they first get into the raft, she asks the guide something like, "can I hold on here?" And this is right after she talks about memories growing up rafting with family. Shouldn't she know where to hold on when on a raft???
ReplyDeleteSeriously, has she even gone rafting once?? She gives herself away all the time!!!
My Evangelical Christian friend in Mississippi watched SPA for the first time. She decided Sarah was a fool and said she would never watch the show again. LOL!
ReplyDelete"Uh oh Willow snuck her boyfriend up. No he is not the one at the center of the new rumors. "
ReplyDeleteMaybe Willow isn't pregnant at all, but gee, have they got some sort of policy of changing boyfriends AFTER they get pregnant?
Down Syndrome Prevalence In The United States
ReplyDeleteArticle Date: 01 Dec 2009
American Academy of Pediatrics
http://www.healthychildren.org/English/news/pages/Down-Syndrome-Prevalence-in-the-United-States.aspx?nfstatus=401&nftoken=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000&nfstatusdescription=ERROR%3a+No+local+token
Down Syndrome affects an estimated 1 in 800 births or 5,400 infants in the United States each year.
-----
This means that 10,800 children were born with Down Syndrome in the two years since Trig was born.
Does Sarahh Palin believe that Trig is the ONLY child alive who has Down Syndrome?
Keep these stats in mind.
