Sarah Palin interview with Sean Hannity Part Two: Caribou Barbie strikes back!

Hannity starts off broadcasting video of the "Leather Clad Caribou Barbie" from John McCain's re-election campaign.  (You know THAT got the male Fox News viewers attention! "Now I remember why we like her!")

Hannity reminds her that when she used war imagery it was "not a call to arms," and that she was ignored by the media.  "Does that frustrate you more?'  Uh oh!

Palin: "When we talk about being up in arms we're talking about getting to the voting booth." Very angry. You know I am pretty sure I could fry bacon on her forehead right about now.

(It appears that there is a teleprompter reflected in Palin's glasses, yet she seems to struggle often to find the right words, and frequently falls back into her habit of garbled together word salad that simply sounds like nonsense. If that is a teleprompter whoever is running it is an idiot (Todd?) or Palin is too pissed to read anything off of it.)

Palin goes on to say that the most frustrating part was the accusation that she, and others, "upon responding to false accusations of being involved in...murder. That we have interjected ourselves into this story." (Yes because releasing your highly polished professional "blood libel" video on the same day the President was speaking at the memorial for the victims was not "interjecting yourself into the story" now was it?) 

Oh my God!  Sarah wants to share "a little secret" with us.  Could this be it?  Is she going to admit what I hope she is going to admit?

Oh, it is about how the "lamestream media" actually works. Boring.

The "secret" is that the media wanted a response from Sarah after the shootings, and people started talking about her famous map which targeted Giffords among others. Is it really a "secret" if everybody would have expected that to happen?  

But according to Palin she did not respond until the appropriate time. (You know when she could try to steal the attention away from the President before he delivered the memorial speech, and invite comparisons between her video and his speech.  THAT, in Palin-land, was the appropriate time.)

"My statement of defense, it was NOT self defense, it was defending those who are innocent, talk show hosts, talk show listeners those who have nothing to do with a crazed EVIL gunman who killed innocent people."

Hannity goes on to say that multiple media outlets have used the term "Palin in the crosshairs" and suggests that they are somehow hypocritical since they are condemning her for using the images.  As he says this you can see that Palin's face is extraordinarily tense and she seems to be having difficulty biting back her anger..

"Do you receive, Governor, a lot of death threats?" And with that Hannity serves Sister Sarah the softball that she has been waiting for all evening.

"We receive a lot of death threats, my children do (Gotta inject the children for maximum sympathy), umm that's the worst part of it, as you can imagine.)

Now Hannity is going down the line of threats that have been directed at Palin.

First up the international terrorist known as "Madonna." (Wait! The "like a virgin" Madonna?)

Madonna: "I will kick her ass if she does not get off my street." (Here is video of the "threat" which Madonna even puts to music to make it especially terrifying.)

Then we have Sandra Bernhard saying that if Palin comes to New York she will be "gang raped by my black brothers".  (Another clearly viable threat.)

Now Hannity introduces a cartoon (WTF? A cartoon?) of Palin being punched in the face, and a bumper sticker that reads "Abort Sarah Palin." 

(Okay hold on a minute!  THOSE are the best examples of the "threats" that Sarah Palin receives?  Really?  Is Hannity fucking kidding me?  Does he actually have the audacity to compare THESE EXAMPLES to the very real threats that come at anybody who dares to criticize Palin the minute she points her flying monkeys in their direction?)

And now, feeling vindicated by Hannity's parade of non-threats, she calls those on the Left hypocrites?

Now she is bringing up her children and then quoting the Bible to energize her supporters, but I think this interview is another complete failure on her part to make herself appear sympathetic in any way.

Hearing Sarah Palin calling for civil discourse and condemning violence it is almost like hearing John Edwards, or even Todd Palin, talk about marital fidelity.  It just comes off as extremely hypocritical and pathetic.

Now almost immediately after Palin calls for a more civil discourse she slams the President's memorial speech in Tucson as a "pep rally" or a "campaign stop." (Wow!  I think she managed to remain civil for almost fifteen seconds!  I do believe that is a new Sarah Palin record!)

Yesterday somebody told me that NO WAY could Palin make things any worse for herself with this interview.  I respectfully disagree.

What do you think?
