Morning Joe simply cannot resist chiming in on Palin's historical/hysterical faux pas over the weekend.

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy


By the way I came across a picture which MIGHT explain why Palin was unable to learn anything during her bus tour toward ignorance.



Apparently she was distracted by the uniformed eye candy.

By the way, and to quote the Grizzled Mama herself, "have you seen Todd?" It seems he has been MIA since his appearance at the very beginning of the trip, and since he was spotted climbing into a taxi and getting the hell out of Dodge.

Which kind of makes one wonder if the Palins have finally decided to stop presenting their sham of a marriage as if it is anything but a politically expedient business deal and get that divorce which I first reported about almost two years ago, and which the Globe says is now imminent:

Republican darling Sarah Palin has hammered out a secret divorce deal with her husband Todd as she moves to Arizona without him and mulls a run for the Presidency, say sources in a blockbuster world exclusive. Find out why the former Alaska governor and her "First Dude" are said to be splitting and how it will affect her political ambitions. This is one story you won't want to miss!

So perhaps increasing her knowledge base, or even starting her faux political campaign, was NOT the focus of this bus tour. And the real purpose was in fact to find Sarah Palin a more manly substitute for the prostitute visiting, never around when she needs him, Todd Palin.

Or she could just be the DUMBEST human being on the planet, a woman so ignorant that she literally has to write a note on her hand to remind her to end her publicity tour.



Did you miss it?  Here take a closer look.


You know her Palin-bots can spend every day of their misbegotten lives trying to cover for the ignorant things this imbecile says, but ultimately it will do them not one bit of good because, as they say in the south, "You just can't fix stupid!"

    I see she is still trying to make people think that she has always written thing on her hand. Anyone with half of a brain knows otherwise.

    Sarah,

    The punchline is gone. It was cute at first but now the writing hand on the hand thing has passed it's shelf life. FYI, most "normal" people don't use their hand as a notepad on a regular basis. Adjust your meds.

    Judge Judy says, "Beauty fades, dumb is forever." The trick of writing on her hand is old. If she can't remember one word, she's in bad shape. Never one to apologize for anything, Sarah will be mentioning Paul Revere warning the British with bells and gun shots at every chance, hoping that by repeating the lie often enough, people might begin to believe her.

    What in the Hell is she writing on her hand for? She should have written "Liberty and Freedom" when she visited the Statute of Liberty, instead of telling us that the statute reminds us not to make the mistakes that other countries made.

    I love the hand scrawl. Here's why she had Shep "publicity" written, the vengeful little bitch:

    From Daily Caller--"On this weekend’s “Fox News Sunday,” the former Alaska governor took on her critics, including one of her Fox News colleagues, Shephard Smith, who had said Palin was on a publicity tour. The shot came after host Chris Wallace asked Palin what she was up to on her bus tour."

  12. I am entertaining company as we speak, relatives from my "other side of my family" who are conservative Christians/Tea Baggers. (that I love with all my heart...) Of course, as much as I announced that I WILL NOT talk politics w/them, over dinner last night and after some delicious wine the conversation took that dreaded turn.
    They LOVE Palin. I went ahead, with my Sauvignon Blanc saturated tongue, and proceeded to talk "word salad". (It WAS dinner, you know)
    I think I actually broke through! It doesn't hurt to TRY, right?
    After 1 person said to me "If it wasn't for Sarah telling me what the REAL history of Paul Revere was, I would have never known! My teachers never taught me that and that just shows you how dumb public school teachers are!" (church school rules for them)
    Well, suffice it to say, that is what set me off.
    As of this very moment, the husband has in his hand a copy of Bailey's book and the wife is already 1/3 of the way through Game Change. (I have set aside "Going Rouge" & "The Lies Of Sarah Palin" for the 2nd 1/2 of their trip) This afternoon brought some interesting observations from them and the announcement that "yes, maybe you're right about this one Toes!"
    Ah, vindication!
    I offered up a dare to them...find me ANY information on Palin's version of Paul Revere's history that was PRINTED before June 2011. Wiki does not count. :)

    You know, I don't think she does that with the conscious intention of making it seem like it's standard practice for her, and thus not worthy of any notice on our part - or the press's. She has to know that cameras are capable of actually zeroing in on the notes themselves nowadays, so content matters.

    I think she has a perverse need to sabotage herself. She feels like a bad girl so she acts like one, constantly getting herself into trouble. Certainly her daughters have absorbed that way of being in the world, also. It's distinctive, and a family pattern.

    Rebellion and then invariably the ensuing negative attention.

    Who would need to write something like that on their hand? If she had a conviction that she wanted to push back on the appearance of it being a publicity-seeking tour, wouldn't she trust herself enough to bring it up without the hand prompt? Perhaps she just doesn't possess any intellectual depth, at all. Perhaps others were telling her to make sure and provide yet another disclaimer about it, so it wasn't something she had any hope of retaining, in her own mind?

    Just plain weird. I can see cheat sheets on facts and figures, perhaps - numbers maybe. But that little bitty concept?

    It's like she delights in frustrating her back room supporters with her constant missteps. I even felt like her trip back into Manhattan to visit her bosses at Fox was because she had gotten into trouble. Heaven knows she wasn't exactly acing the mission!

    I cannot imagine what it would be like living with Sarah as a wife and mother. Plus, I'll wager she is horrid in the sack too due to ALL being about Sarah! Feel for her sexual partners (she had affairs too!).

    Sarah Palin: Professional (Wealthy) "Victim"

    ...What the Times article failed to do was examine the underlying Evangelical/religious connection to Palin's clownish behavior: a "theology" of perpetual victimhood.

    In the first decade of the twenty-first century the Evangelical and conservative Roman Catholic (and Mormon) outsider victim "approach" to public policy has been perfected on a heretofore-undreamed of scale by Sarah Palin. She is the ultimate holier-than-thou Evangelical queen bee.

    To understand Palin's style of "leadership" you have to understand the Evangelical's clinging to the victim status as their excuse for their ideas about society being rejected by most Americans. Rather than admit that they might be wrong -- on everything from creationism to the "fact" that stem cell research is "murder" -- Evangelicals have concocted a myth of victimhood. I should know, I helped establish this myth back in the 1970s and early 80s when I was an anti-abortion crusader along with my Evangelical leader father, Francis Schaeffer.

    What my Evangelical-leader/author mother (Edith Schaeffer) had once represented (in her unreconstructed fundamentalist heyday in the 1970s and 80s) to a Evangelical retreat/mission full of young gullible men and women looking for Jesus, and later to tens of thousands of readers of her many books, Palin became for tens of millions of alienated angry white lower-middle class men and women convinced that an educated "elite" was out to get them.

    Palin was first inflicted on the American public by Senator John McCain, who chose her as his running mate in the 2008 presidential election for only one reason: He needed to shore up flagging support from the Evangelical Republican antiabortion base.

    McCain wanted to prove that he was fully in line with the "social issues" agenda that my late father Dr. C. Everett Koop (who would become Reagan's surgeon general), and I had helped foist on our country over thirty years before.

    Palin lost the election for McCain but "won" her war for fame and fortune and self-appointed "prophetess" status. She presented herself as called by God and thus cast in the Old Testament mold of Queen Esther, one chosen by God to save her people.

    Palin perfected the "art" of Evangelical self-banishment and then took victimhood to new levels of success by cashing in on white lower-middle-class resentment of America's elites. She might as well have run under the slogan "I'm as dumb as you are!"

    ...Another says “Every once in a while a woman comes along who is made for the times. Sarah Palin is such a woman. . . . Another woman, Esther, was brought on the scene by God at just the right time. God’s timing was perfect for he used Esther to save the Jews”—and now he is using Palin to save the Republicans.

    One problem with this view -that God sent Palin the way He sent Esther—is that the Book of Esther never mentions God. It never says God sent Esther to save His people, or even that Esther’s belief in God gave her the power to defeat her enemies. Somebody should point this out to the fundamentalists.

    If you follow the logic in the story - as another fundamentalist Christian website did - you find a “major, and creepily precise” parallel between the threats to Jews then and now. In Esther’s day the threat came from Persia - and what country is the modern successor to Persia? Iran, of course—“the same Iran that has vowed to wipe Israel off the map and is well on their way to acquiring the nuclear weaponry to do so . . . . And along comes tough, clear-eyed, plain-speaking Sarah Palin.”

    The implications for Palin’s Iran policy are clear. In the Bible, after the Jews are saved from annihilation, and after the first day of Jewish revenge against their enemies, the King tells Esther the Jews have killed 500 people, and asks what she wants to do next. Esther says she wants permission for a second day of killing - so the king grants the Jews the right “to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish the entire host of every people and province that oppress them, small children and women, and to take their spoils for plunder.”

    "Palin [is the] worst in American public life... she is a study in selfishness... self-aggrandizing... [and] put bull's-eyes on Democratic congressional districts and then howled about 'blood libel.' ... The tour included signature Palin touches: manipulating the media, finding financial gain (she requested "generous donations" to SarahPAC), and lobbing rhetorical grenades (America is "going belly-up," Obama is "coddling" enemies)."
    And the greatest irony is that many women in the Evangelical "family values" movement are cheering for Palin as a defender of traditional family stay home, home school your kids -- and submit to your husband -- "values." Yet Palin is the least-"submissive" female imaginable, let alone traditional mom. She's misused her children as stage props and has reduced her husband to the role of "helpmeet"; indeed, he's become the perfect example of a "good biblical wife."

    Palin's blunder, captured on video, quickly swept through the Internet. Taking a break from her "There's-No-Way-I'm Running-For-President-But-I'm-REALLY-Digging-All-This-Attention" bus tour, she appeared on Fox News Sunday and was asked by host Chris Wallace, "You realized that you messed up about Paul Revere, don't you?" And as only Sarah Palin could do, given her outsized ego and intellectual denial, she replied in her defense:

    "You know what? I didn't mess up about Paul Revere. "Part of his ride was to warn the British that we're already there. That, hey, you're not going to succeed. You're not going to take American arms... Here is what Paul Revere did. He warned the Americans that the British were coming... and they were going to try take our arms and we got to make sure that we were protecting ourselves and shoring up all of ammunitions and our firearms so that they couldn't take it,'' Palin said yesterday. But remember that the British had already been there, many soldiers for seven years in that area. And part of Paul Revere's ride -- and it wasn't just one ride -- he was a courier, he was a messenger. Part of his ride was to warn the British that we're already there... You are not going to beat our own well-armed persons, individual, private militia that we have. He did warn the British."

    As my grandmother used to say, oy vey! Too bad the Fox-friendly Wallace let her off the hook too easily and didn't press her on the facts. Had she been on a real network, not the GOP Softball Channel, she would've earned the public embarrassment and humiliation she so rightly deserved.

    Will someone please get this poor woman a history book?! Just a week earlier she gave a convoluted explanation of the Statue of Liberty's origin and significance. I'm not sure who's more ignorant of American history, Palin or her Tea Party nemesis Rep. Michele Bachmann, who a few months ago claimed the "Shot heard round the world" was in New Hampshire, not Massachusetts. What is with these Tea Baggers? Is being dumb a requirement?

    To set the record straight for Grizzly Mama, here's what PaulRevereHouse.org has to say about the historic ride: "On the evening of April 18, 1775, Paul Revere was sent... to ride to Lexington, Massachusetts, to warn Samuel Adams and John Hancock that British troops were marching to arrest them... On the way to Lexington, Revere "alarmed" the country-side, stopping at each house, and arrived in Lexington about midnight. As he approached the house where Adams and Hancock were staying, a sentry asked that he not make so much noise. "Noise!" cried Revere, "You'll have noise enough before long. The regulars are coming out!" After delivering his message, Revere was joined by a second rider, William Dawes, who had been sent on the same errand by a different route. Deciding on their own to continue on to Concord, Massachusetts, where weapons and supplies were hidden, Revere and Dawes were joined by a third rider, Dr. Samuel Prescott. Soon after, all three were arrested by a British patrol."

    So what's next for Palin as she glides her giant PalinMobile-of-Truthiness across America? Perhaps she's preparing for her next speech entitled The Gettysburg Address: Gen. Robert E. Lee's Finest Virginia Speech.

    Her actions are a sure sign that she's going to announce her own presidential candidacy. If she wasn't, would there be any talk of Sarah Palin's movie, The Undefeated?

    Let's be clear. I'm not saying Sarah Palin wants to be President, or even that she wants to be on the campaign trail very long. Palin is ruthless and ambitious -- anyone who wants to be a major political player almost has to be these days. But her goal isn't the White House. Her plan is to say she ran for President of the United States and then milk that for another four years of fame the way she did with her accidental vice presidential run.

    Palin is a girl who knows how to bide her time when it comes to attention getting to further her own interests. She knew there was no sense jumping in when the field was overly-crowded with the likes of Mitch Daniels, Mike Huckabee and Haley Barbour, three uber-conservatives the political right were hoping would be in the race for a while.

    There's nothing Palin hates more than someone horning in on her political space. Just ask Michele Bachmann. She's made it clear that stealing attention away from Romney's big announcement was political fair game, and you can be sure one of the other items on her 2012 "to do" list is to pit Bachmann and Tim Pawlenty against each other as fellow Minnesotans. If she can get them out of the way, then she really just needs to worry about Jon Huntsman, who will be painted as an Obama Democrat in sheep's clothing as he's just coming off a stint as President Obama's ambassador to China.

    The problem with this potential Palin strategy for the GOP is this -- once Palin has sucked all the air out of the political back rooms and dispatched her opponents, what will the Republicans do for a real candidate when she drops out, saying that she needs to spend more time to focus on her daughter Bristol, the single mom living in Hollywood with a couple of single guys for a TV reality show, two daughters still in school and a special needs toddler? All the GOP will have left then will be anyone who has been hand-picked by Palin, who will serve to keep her in the spotlight as a presidential campaign advisor and give her access to the power influence she craves without any of the responsibility.

    Anonymous, I think you are absolutely correct. She got busted not only "cheating", but on an absurdly incompetent level, showing that she couldn't remember the basic concepts of her alleged views.

    Her pathological need to never ever, ever, ever, show the least flaw to anyone requires that she keep trying to prove to everyone, "Oh this, I do this all the time, always have, isn't it a cute little quirk? No one caught me out doing anything I should be embarrassed about, goodness no, this is just me doing something I HAVE ALWAYS done and never been embarrassed about because it DOES NOT demonstrate stupidity and incompetence, but an adorable and delightful and sexy little "thing." Oh that's Sarah's thing, everyone has ALWAYS SAID all these years, that's Sarah's thing."

    SO THERE!!!!!

    How sad. We are not impressed at seeing such a perfect person. We are aghast at watching someone make a fool of themselves trying to prove that they are something no one has ever been or ever will be. That is, perfect.

    All she had to say was, "Yep, you got me. I have been so stressed this week, I was afraid I wouldn't remember my own name." And everyone would have laughed with her and it would have been forgotten in a week. But nooooooo.

    Brian Williams covered the Paul Revere gaffe again tonight, with the wiki followup story. They basically let the whole thing speak for itself. You can tell he thinks she's a complete idiot, though I know some folks might not care as he is smack dab in the middle of the MSM.

    What really made me laugh, though, was the footage they used. They isolated her most googley-eyed moments. So funny. They did it on purpose, for sure.

    Sarah and Todd your days are numbered and your secrets will be revealed too.

    This is why I do not believe Sarah is running for POTUS. She probably has skeletons in her closet that goes back to her college days.

    It would be interesting to see Sarah run and refuse to show her IRS and State tax forms and medical records. If she can't stand the heat now, wait till she announces she is running.

    I've thought about this a lot. Not always a great help.

    I think Fox AND the MSM are perfectly willing to keep Sara out there as long as she wants and will, to their best ability, keep her immune from too many hard questions -ergo babygate.

    Why?

    Money. As long as she's not a candidate they get massive reader counts, clicks on their websites and that means they can keep the advertising revenues going. Even the idiotic Paul Revere quote, and the resultant denial and Wiki dust up could be reported in a way that doesn't require them to ask the question WTF is she doing? How can anyone take her seriously because she's NOT a candidate. IF she was then Fox would have to let her go.

    My prediction is we can expect this crap to go on as long as the MSM continues to follow her like a stud chasing a bitch in heat (judging from the eye sex she was having with that guard I'd say she's definitely ovulating after scoping him out). So, as long as no one forces her hand she'll get a mostly free pass from the media because she is money in the bank

    One could ask why not just run and get the same amount of media treatment? Because once she says she's running I think there are several candidates, Fox for sure, and maybe some other journalists who have copious evidence of her many transgressions. The candidates she's running against will fire first and the MSM will eventually join in leaving her floundering and losing ground fast. So she's nothing more than a twelve month patch in the election cycle, running her mouth and bringing people to websites and news broadcasts which support ad revenues. Once the race gets real, she'll be shoved under that bus she's traveling in as fast as she shoved her friends and work partners. The media needs her to keep voters attention and they could give a shit about the idiots who send money to SaraPAC to fund her vacations. Now if she can just find a kid who wants to go along

  73. Mark Halprin has turned into a Palin cultist, soon he'll be heading over to Wikipedia to adjust history to fit Palin's version of it.

    He actually complained to Joe that it was a "gotcha question"

    Halprin is suddenly buying what Palin is selling...­.hook line and sinker.

    He went so far as to repeat her lie, on the Lawrence O'Donnell Show, that she had to quit as Governor of Alaska because ..."she would have gone broke defending herself from ethics charges!!"

    It has been well documented­, even by the Anchorage Daily News in part, that this could not be further from the truth!

    Here is what Halprin considers a "gotcha" question;

    "What have you seen so far today, and what are you going to take away from your visit?"

    To which Palin answered;

    "He who warned, uh, the British that they were going to be taking away our arms uh by ringing those bells and making sure as he riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be secure and we were going to be free and we were going to be armed.'

    Palin could not even remember Paul Revere's NAME!



    Halprin has turned in his degree in journalism­, for a certificat­e in "talking head", where facts just get in the way of a good story, and Palin pays off huge, when it comes to storytelling!

Sarah can say what she wants but the reality is that everyone has noticed that she just looks more foolish every time she can't admit that she got it wrong. And she can't do that without admitting that she really had know idea what she was talking about with a story that the rest of us have known since childhood. She's an idiot.

    A Poem: The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere - by Sarah Shutup




    Saracudda Rewrites History

    by Anne Sweeney



    Listen my children and you shall hear

    Of political crises so severe

    Our nation is threatened as never before

    By the specter of Ignorance at our door



    It isn't al Qaeda that poses a threat

    Not Korea or Iran nor China and Nyet,

    There's little from Russia that we have to fear

    Our liberty's foes are located here.



    The danger is coming - a terrible blight

    It's the Princess of Darkness, the Queen of the Right

    Sarah Palin is loose and it's more than her views

    Or her spreading her lies all over Faux News



    We thought her stupidity couldn't be more

    The election debacle, the media whore

    The PACS and the clothes, the untalented daughter

    And Levi, the First Dude and wildlife to slaughter



    There's drilling and shilling her book and her state

    Sarah Palin's Alaska - Oh give me a break!

    The endorsements of candidates ready to run

    They were all to the right of Attila the Hun



    She doesn't let anything stand in her way

    Mamma Grizzly will vanquish that (b)witch Tina Fey

    And Katy, and Rachel and Sawyer who dare

    To suggest she's got nothing 'neath that pile of hair



    She's immune to ridicule, truth or good sense

    She's got her supporters all equally dense

    The Tea Party loves her, what else does she need

    They will back her whatever her word or her deed



    How far she has gone to me is a mystery

    How can you explain this reversal of history?

    So Revere warned the British, my goodness who knew?

    We will rewrite the textbooks, the word will get through!



    Paul Revere was a traitor, Tea Baggers will claim

    They will join stupid Sarah in trashing his name

    And if liberals in Boston should start to protest,

    We have ways of dealing - Saracudda knows best



    And what of the Minutemen swooping like eagles?

    They were from Arizona and hunting illegals

    And Samuel Adams, we must make it clear

    He did go to Harvard, so don't drink his beer



    Bunker Hill was a victory, The Redcoats were routed

    The truth of that statement can never be doubted

    And the Boston Tea Party - oh here's to our cause!

    It was all about taxes, and Obama's laws



    Founding Fathers were Christians so put on your blinkers

    And ignore all the guys who were really freethinkers

    For thinking's not part of Sarah's new quest

    Rousing rabble and lying is what she does best



    And as the Know Nothings do flock to her flag

    Abandon all hope, for this ignorant hag

    Will be quick to throw us right under the bus

    We have met the enemy - you betcha. She's us.

    Unless it's burned or shredded, a scrap of paper can easily be pulled out of the trash and saved. Writing incriminating little notes on your palm ensures that there will be no evidence to use against you, just in case. Just wash your hands and poof--it's gone.
