Sarah Palin holds up the hoop, and Fox News jumps right through it.
Fox News is right in the middle of reporting on perhaps the most amazing development to happen in a Middle Eastern country in our lifetimes, and they put the whole thing on hold to report that Sarah Palin used her thumbs to say something completely ignorant.
And yet they STILL want to be considered a legitimate outlet for REAL news.
"We have been reporting all say today on the incredible devastation being caused by what appears to be the end of the world, but wait! We have just received word that Sarah Palin has stubbed her toe, repeat Palin is in pain! We will return to the unfolding disaster just as soon as we are sure she is alright."

Poor stupid Sarah, POTUS responded when the people of Egypt made their choice.
ReplyDeleteLet the people of Iran, not the US government, decide their own fate.
If Sarah stubbed her toe, it must have been while her foot was, once again, in her own mouth!
Ugh. Just ugh.
ReplyDeleteFOX News' coverage of Tunisia has been pathetic, often racist. We missed nothing when they went away from their ignorant coverage of what is happening and did another awful segment with Palin.
ReplyDeleteMSNBC and CNN have been pretty lame too.
AJE, Democracy Now, Deutsche Welle and RU TV have been very good, particularly, AJE.
Jeez... the brilliant Alaskan sage manages, with the help of her best buds at Faux, to insert her unimportant opinion into the news of the day once again. Honestly, this is like a disorder or something. Do they have treatment programs for people like that?
ReplyDeletefox news viewers demand incessant breaking news to avoid indepth coverage that would only befuddle their weakened brains.
ReplyDeleteHey, Sarah, did you hear? Michele Bachmann from MN (you remember her, donchaya? that other "attractive, strong conservative woman you came and stumped for last year?) scored higher in a straw poll from CPAC than you did! Wow, sheer stupid beat out sheer meanness. Just thought you'd want to know.
ReplyDeleteThe Egyptian uprising was a grassroots event that caught everybody by surprise- it certainly wasn't fomented by our government or welcome by the reactionary neo-con twits at Fox.
ReplyDeleteThe grifter's neo-con advisors are just trying to jump on the bandwagon and agitate, lest we be distracted, for their pet war with Iran. Jesus! They might be in a panic because two of the most awful neo-con Senators- Lieberman and Kyl- are retiring.
With twenty two months to go before the 2012 general election one thing has become profoundly clear, Sarah Palin has a delusional belief she is owed the right to be the 2012 Republican nominee without having to work for it. Where on earth would she get that idea? One must travel back to the days leading up to her crowning by John McCain to be his Vice President in 2008. Once the darling of Alaskan politics, Palin thrusted herself into the spotlight by announcing the day after McCain locked up the delegate count that gave him his party’s nomination she was pregnant with her fifth child. In the weeks leading up to Trig Palin’s birth, Sarah Palin acted nothing like an expected mother, but rather a political groupie searching for the spotlight and wanting to get noticed. The fact of the matter is Palin was already noticed and was being groomed for the VP nomination, and her pregnancy story was the icing on the cake to lure votes to McCain - Palin.
ReplyDeleteWhile no major media outlet has had the ambition to investigate rumors that Trig Palin, Sarah Palin’s claimed 5th child was actually her natural born child, internet blogs have kept up the investigative push and have dispelled the myth Sarah Palin gave birth to Trig. The only evidence Palin has provided to the contrary is an eleventh hour letter from her personal physician, Cathy Baldwin Johnson. Evidence that Sarah Palin pulled a hoax on the American people is vast. From pictures that show Palin not pregnant two weeks prior to delivery, her actions as an expecting mother, to newly released information this week that Sarah Palin underwent a massage session just weeks before her pregnancy announcement and she verbally said she was not pregnant prior to massage services commencing. Now with the Republicans 2011 flagship convention drawing to a close, Sarah Palin didn’t think it was necessary to attend CPAC in New York. Why did she not attend? Sarah Palin is playing high stakes poker and holds 2 Aces going into 2012. She has the Republicans caught in their biggest conspiracy, which is they manufactured a hoax pregnancy, and allowed a special needs child to be used for political gain. If Palin isn’t the 2012 Republican Presidential nominee, she’ll bring them all down in the process. The GOP made a deal with the devil in 2008, and she’s ready to collect in 2012.
Fox is falling/failing as fast as $arah. And just like her, they don't see it yet.
ReplyDeleteThe reality is, President Obama and the US in general had zero influence on what happened in Egypt. We can say we will be supportive, but they weren't exactly calling us for our opinion. This could have gone either way and it looks like it turned out the best it could. That has got to be Sarah Palin (and Fox) nuts.
ReplyDelete"Crap! What can we say that crazy Glenn Beck hasn't already said?"
"I know, I know!" grunts Sarah Palin. "What about Iran?! Yeah it was a year ago and it could have gone either way, but hey, Ahmadinejad is still there, so let's blame Obama!"
cant get the video
ReplyDeleteThe idiots at the peepond are trying to claim that President Obama made his statement about Iran in response to Scarahs' tweet. Just how damned delusional are these people.
ReplyDeleteScorpie
Somewhat O/T: a brilliant website about narcissists is "Narcissists Suck" by Anna Valerious. Amazingly clear and to the point. I have absolutely no doubt Quittypants is a N.
ReplyDeleteOh okay, I understand what's going on. Supportive loving wife Sarah Palin needed a cover story to avoid watching her no good lying cheating dog of a husband's snow machine race and her toe is her excuse. LOL
ReplyDeleteI have a sneaking suspicion that "the Brand" is a sock-puppet for a group of neo-cons who have taken up residence in the back woods of Wasilla. She thumbs in a take on the news after one of them staggers out of the brush and drops a note at the end of the driveway with wording for her Tweets. The neo-con fires two shots and Sarah sends Piper or Willow out to pick up the note.
ReplyDeleteThe revolution in Egypt is, of course, about "the Brand." Silly me!
ReplyDeleteAccording to Palin last week, Obama didn't answer the 3am call and the message went to voicemail.
ReplyDeleteIf it had been the 'vibrator slut' in office, we would have been in a third war as she would have invaded to protect her BFF Mubarak.
Everything she spews is out her asshole as usual.
SSDD!
I hope this link comes through as it is for a story over at Media Matters that discusses how Fox just makes stuff up, literally. It is based on an interview with a former Fox employee. Definitely worth a read.
ReplyDeletehttp://mediamatters.org/blog/201102100007
Sarah, please tell us what kind of pressure are we going to put on Iran in which they will actually listen to us or even give a f%*k what we have to say just like the majority of Americans don't give a f*%k about what you have to say.
ReplyDeleteWow - pathetic. Journalism is truly dead in this country.
ReplyDeleteOf all the coverage I've watched these past two plus weeks, I've not heard one talking head think outside the box beyond the border of Egypt. Many have said Obama has had to walk a fine line as they were talking about Murbarak and the People of Egypt. Not once did I hear reference to it being delicate in choosing words knowing the association with numerous countries in the area like Jordan, Saudi, etc. It was a total juggling act trying to keep all the balls in the air.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't expect Palin to think of that, as that would require two thoughts at one time - something she is totally incapable of. When you only have one brain cell and it's engaged already...
This is my FauxNews story. Sad on so many levels, but a little funny. And not 'politically correct' so don't offend yourself reading it.
ReplyDeleteFor years we have joked that "it's so sad that grandma and grandpa have cable and the only channel that works on that huge tv is Fox." My grandpa is 94 and watches Fox all day long. Only Fox. Sits and yells at the tv, drives grandma nuts. I should also add, Caucasian, conservative, Republican, doesn't believe different races should marry, you get the picture. Anyway, the other night my brother called to tell me
"oh by the way, 'BET, change the channel' is what you need to tell grandpa if he goes off on all the blacks on tv'. Last week I was there and he was saying "since they got a black man in the white house all it is is blacks on tv. I pointed out the little symbol on the screen showing him he was on the BET and told him to change the channel. Apparently, the maintenance guy where they live has had to do the same for him. So if he's complaining to you, tell him to change the channel!"
Guess that tv gets more than one channel after all...
With no offense intended to Jesse, but there are a large number of the male gender that simply love women because they are women. Is it the mysterious vagina thing?
ReplyDeleteIf that is the case, why does't it apply to ALL women?
Or is this because these woman are so out of reach? Is the tease the thing?
Females really need to know what who this works, but we will NEVER get it from dude Jesse because he is so totally infatuated with herself that he can't see the tres for the forest
@5:02
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Phil. AJE has been the best. I did like coverage by Ron Allen and Richard Engel on MSNBC,too.

Gryphen, whats the ETA of the other icebergs?
ReplyDeleteSarah is still angry that Obama didn't call her at 3 AM to tell her who next leader in Egypt will be. In fact, he still hasn't told any of us. The fact that the Egyptians will hold democratic elections seem to have escaped Sarah's notice. And, any diplomacy that goes behind the scenes isn't shared with Sarah either.
ReplyDeleteSo, it looks like she feels left out of things. As for Fox interrupting their coverage of the new from Egypt to read a tweet, let alone one from the twit, shows how far away they are from real news. It might be a good idea to send them tons of tweets, from Sarkozy, from Putin, from Former Dictator of Spain, Franco (he might be really dead). Fox ought to be receiving tweets of important news stories such as "my dog just coughed up a hair ball" to "can dogs have hairballs?"
I want to say that the idiots deserve each other, but there are too many other idiots relying on them as the sole source of "news."
You should try the Stephanie Millier show. Two parts comedy, one part liberal punditry. 100% entertaining.
ReplyDeleteLove you like a brother, but 'alright' isn't a word.
ReplyDeleteHow stupid she is and how stupid FAUX is too! Give me a break! When is she going to just fade away. For that matter, when is FAUX News going to fade away too! It's primarily my age group that listens to this crap and I'm thoroughly disgusted with the whole bunch of them too! When did they become so stupid too!
ReplyDeleteGryphen, whats the ETA of the other icebergs?
ReplyDeleteWell I have found a big one.
It's waiting for the right time and the blogger interviews of Shailey mean it needs to wait for a while.
It is obvious that there is more to come on this. The confiscated items ( cell phone now confirmed as confiscated and not returned apparently)(not a rolodex!) are just some of the unexplained details.
That's ok.
I don't think any of the bloggers know about this iceberg.
Anon 6:58---
ReplyDeleteHuh? Are you on some kind of drug? Meth? Bath salts?
Dear God the woman is stupid.I can only shake my head in shame that their are Americans who consider this turnip head relevant.
ReplyDeleteI guess in her mind all Middle Eastern countries are the same.She probably thinks all African Americans look alike and all Hispanics look Asian.
Maybe she thinks Iran is an ally of ours as Egypt has been?Perhaps she has some magic viewer in which the people of Iran are "refudiating" their leaders,both political and religious,and demansing them to step down?Could it be that in her mind,she is sure that if she was President,all peoples of the world would be begging her to decide what their countries will do and who their leaders will be?
What a snarky,deranged,supercilious nothing she is!
Thanks for the laugh, G!
ReplyDeleteSame to Anon 6:37 and your grandpa!
Sarah Palin is a joke and a bad one at that. It's really getting tiresome to listen to her moronic rants.
ReplyDeleteWell, I think that fux is counting on her viewership growing when/if she confirms she is "running for president." They benefit from having her on staff and she has another reason to collect a bunch of money. This has to be the most thinly veiled grift of all. There is no way she would ever want to work hard enough to be president. As always shes in it for the Benjamins.
ReplyDeleteLOL - a tweet can only be 140 characters max, but fox news guy has to say "to shorten it down" and paraphrase Twitler's tweet! hehehe
ReplyDeleteEven in a tweet, word salad!
Can you post a link to this video? Thank you.
ReplyDeletePressure Iran the way he's pressured Egypt? Now wasn't Sarah just complaining that he wasn't doing anything about Egypt? She does like to have her cake and eat it too, doesn't she?
ReplyDeleteIgnorant bitch.
Rick
This is great!
ReplyDelete'Quitter Queen' a hit at the Ketchikan Wearable Arts show
http://www.alaskadispatch.com/blogs/palin-watch/8743-quitter-queen-a-hit-at-the-ketchikan-wearable-arts-show
My thoughts Gryph are that you should change the format of the comments. Linking to a comment should show to that comment. I mean AKM's works and Shannyn's works also. I know it's a pain in the butt. Give it a try. Not lookin like you would lose traffic.
ReplyDeleteSarah wants to be the VP - she wants to be able to go to the parties and all the important places - but not actually have to do anything. (She doesn't know what the VP does, so she thinks it is a dream job)
ReplyDeleteShe'll promise her disciples' votes to anyone who will take her on as VP - that is what she wants - the adoration and worship without any responsibility
There is nothing I can say about Palin that I haven't said many times before. While I may have at various manifestations of her stupidity, I do not laugh at her toxic influence on national discourse. My hope is that if she runs, her Republican rivals will rip her to pieces. Whether she loses the nomination or the general election, only a resounding defeat will impress upon her that she is not what America wants or needs. As much as she jams her foot in her ignorant mouth, it should have grown teeth by now.
ReplyDeleteOh...yet, more crap? It's just the Quitter's feeble mind stumbling along on its way to nowhere's ville. Kinda painful to watch her continuing disgrace. She really does have "special needs". What do you do with a twitterer that has diarrhea of the mouth?
ReplyDeleteSarah just hired Michael Glassner to remake her and concoct new "accomplishments" since AGIA and ACES are DOA. Glassner will rake in SarahPac cash (courtesy of the stooges) but he can't make a poorly shot caribou's ear into a silk purse. We know she'll just add to her reputation as a pathetic vindictive buffoon. It's her nature and she can't change that. And, Glassner's career will eventually wind up in the outhouse hole like Meg Stapleton's and RAM's.
Someone really ought to tell Sarah that she's not actually going through God's open doors but just butting up against locked ones. It's called "rejection", not opportunity. Since her ego demands she surround herself with sycophants, no one is going to tell her this simple truth.
So....expect more stinky tweets....forever...
I think this is wonderful! The more Fox and conservatives legitimize her and Beck's insanity, the more they are tied to the crazy when they implode.
ReplyDeletePoor stupid Sarah, down and out in Beverly Hills. If her mouth is moving, then look out for a big whooper.
ReplyDeleteSarah takes her opinions to Fox, the same low lacking information that has been spoon-fed to Grifter Sarah by Bekkky.
ReplyDeleteRumor is it that Sarah has been having an affair with Murdock, that is why her word salad screeches gets on the air at Fox.
ReplyDeleteSarah and RAM sitting in a tree,
ReplyDeletek i s s i n g.
First comes a meeting
Then comes tweeting.
Next comes Fox
Full of a bunch of cocks.
She didnt even know who mubarak or his son was, including that Egypt existed until this revolution.
ReplyDeleteShe is like that squeeze head that you squeeze really hard and snot comes out of its nose.
My niece was put on restriction for behaving like a bristol.
Start using the word bristol.
We could coin the word "Bristol" like Bork.
ReplyDeleteBristol definition: slovenly, lazy, slothful, piggish, big-chinned, easy, unintelligent, poor speaker, drunken, loose morals
For example, Her bristol behavior resulted in a bad case of herpes.
or: Her past bristol behavior came back to haunt her.
Until recently she probably thought mubarek was a building, like the pyramids. If she thought.
ReplyDeleteI hope Shailly is an Alaskan Native. Its time for Todd to go back to his roots and get a foundation on life. Alaskan Natives do not behave like the Palins.
4:11am, suggest you add the "bristol" definitions to http://www.urbandictionary.com/
ReplyDeleteThat was pathetic!! But hey, what do you expect from a fake and racist news organization?
ReplyDeleteThese tweets are unprofessional, ignorant, and cowardly. Sarah's ghostwriters need their own ghostwriters. They're on life support and desperately need an injection of intelligence.
ReplyDeleteAs for Sarah, she just needs a bigger palm or smaller handwriting. Hoping she could wise up is too much to pray for.
Was she wearing the red naughty monkey's when she inserted her foot in her mouth?
ReplyDeleteI googles her tweet. Two sites had the same headline Obama honors Palin's tweet. A comment posted stayed this proves Palin can govern and is the intelligent one via a tweet. How can any adult with a brain be convinced a head of state can rule the world and international relationships etc via tweets? WTF
ReplyDeleteShe forgets that St. Ronnie and his bunch illegally sent arms to Iran AFTER the revolution in 1979.
ReplyDeleteOops.
Keep talking Sarah, everyday and in every way you show more and more of you infinite ignorance.
ReplyDeleteNot one who knows anything about the Mideast (except that the are all slavering ragheads bent on killing off the Christians,(like they haven't so far in Egypt for a couple thousand years}) could possibly do anything but laugh or short at that comment.
I have run out of superlatives to describe Sarah's infinite lack of knowledge and she continue to surpass herself.
I desperately need to expand my vocabulary to keep up with her.
Mr. Munger thanks for the DW suggestion. I picked up AJE this week. Am always looking for new voice, new points of view.
ReplyDeleteAnon 5:22
ReplyDeleteInteresting, and very probably correct largely if not completely.
Either the Republicans didn't bother to vet her or they did.
Either way they will not look good if and when MSM has this story either shoved down their throats or it blows past them on the internet.
If the latter and they remain tacit they loose all credibility as news sources. If they pitch in and start their own investigations, Sarah and if we are lucky "her" news channel will suffer greatly.
Even if not proven absolutely, if she runs this story will follow her, even into the WH and become her Watergate. (no pun intended)
It is her albatross.
@5:22
ReplyDeleteTHIS is something I did NOT condsider! That if Sarah DOESN'T get the nom,she'll blame the faked pregnancy on the Repulican's saying they made her do it, or at the very least, went right along with it. If she goes down, they go down. Brilliant.
This only works though if they Repubs really knew she faked it. By the time she got the nom, Trig was already born.
