Sarah Palin pops up to satisfy her contractual obligation to Fox News.

I have been noticing lately that Palin has started cramming two or three interviews with Fox News into one day about two or three times a month.  To me this appears to be an indication that she is really not terribly interested in doing them anymore (Except for the paycheck), and that they are not terribly interested in having her do them (No more ratings boost for them like the old days.)

So yesterday Klondike Kardashian heated up her old leftover talking points in her microwave and sat down to pull a train of Fox News interviews one after the other.

First up the feisty Megyn Kelly, newly returned from birthing a future bubble-headed Fox News commentator.


Now I was going to go through the interview and pick it apart, but there are three of these damn things and I just don't have that kind of time. (If you are absolutely determined to subject yourself to what Palin vomited forth, just click the image and it will take you to the You Tube of the interview.)

Besides I had a REALLY hard time listening to her drone on about how the President is screwing up this country, and that all we need are "common sense" solutions, because I swear that whatever that is on her head flipped its tail and hissed at me, which completely threw me off my game.

Now this interview was broadcast about 9:00 Alaska time.

Just one hour later Snowdrift Snooki shows up on Fox's "I don't know anything about business" channel with Lou Dobbs.


Do you see it too?

Yep she is still sitting in front of the same backdrop, but whatever had taken up residence on her head seems to have made its escape. (I called the Wasilla PD and told them to be on the lookout for a psychologically wounded, possibly rabid, furry creature racing through the woods screaming in agony. My advice was to shoot on sight.)

Palin also changed out of her Nancy Reagan brand red blazer from Sears, and changed into whatever the hell that outfit is. You will notice she also changed her necklace, but kept the flag pin. (Because as we know seeing Sarah Palin without a flag pin might make the Fox News viewers believe she is a Socialist.)

Now eight hours later Sarah Palin popped up again in her last interview of the day with Greta Van Susteren.

As you can see, though he she had plenty of time, Palin did not bother to change for Greta essentially giving her Lou Dobbs' sloppy seconds.

You will also notice that she is no longer sitting in front of the fake fireplace set, but is now sitting in front of the window overlooking the dead lake next to her house.  But do you want to know something odd? (Yes, I know that everything about this crazy bitch is "odd' but just bear with me.) I live less than an hour away from where Palin was giving this interview, but when I turned and looked out of MY window, though it was overcast, there was substantially more light streaming in than can be seen outside of HER Wasilla window.

In fact Greta even asked her about why it was so dark in the second half of the interview, and Palin made some halfhearted mention of fall coming and a nip in the air. However I find it hard to believe that Fall is coming faster to Wasilla than to Anchorage.

Which of course once again makes me consider whether or not she is sitting in front of a fake backdrop instead of an actual window. But who knows, perhaps her presence also sucks all of the light and heat out of the room just like it sucks all of the oxygen out.

So there you have Palin's contractual Fox News appearances crammed together in one day, each featuring the same tired old talking points and viscous attacks on the President, but each distinguished by different hair, changes in attire, or simply the movement of her chair.

Watching Palin's lazy ass approach to these interviews kind of reminds me of an old married couple where the husband finally convinces the wife to have sex with him but she stipulates that he not take very long, not mess up her hair, and not block her view of the TV.

Just imagine how thrilled Fox News is that Palin has NOT thrown her hat in the ring to run for President, and is still making them honor their part of the contract they made with her lo those many, many months ago when they actually thought she was worth a million plus dollars.

Serves them right, don't you think?

(Just a reminder that if you want to watch the interviews, just click the images to be taken to You Tube.)

    She sure has aged in three years! It's amazing. The pressure is getting to her - no longer being adored by the citizens in the lower 48.

    She's fading both physically and mentally.

    Can hardly wait to read and see the books and movie coming out in September that are not going to be kind to her.

    She deserves every bit of crud that will be coming her way....she's dished it out all these years and 'what goes around comes around'.

    "I called the Wasilla PD and told them to be on the lookout for a psychologically wounded, possibly rabid, furry creature racing through the woods screaming in agony. My advice was to shoot on sight."

    C'mon, Gryphen, are you SURE that's what you saw? I'm don't know about Alaska, but most states explicitly prohibit the "public display of living wildlife worn as clothing, wiggery or accessories". Perhaps what you saw was a trained domesticated Black-Footed Amer'kin Merkin Weasel that's bred specifically to ride atop the patchy pates of severely balding men and women.

    Why do you feel the need to sensationalize and criticize what are simply very, very poor fashion choices by a distracted, hostile, ill-informed, failing, thin-skinned, ungracious former political wannabe whose only crime is wanting to line her pockets with the hard-earned money of her naive and dwindling corps of supporters? (ok, maybe not her ONLY crime, but work with me here, man! Work with me!!)

    How about a little compassion for the screechy wretch(tm) who stands before us a hideous, withered and decaying shadow of her former semi-attractive self?

    I remember that the first "show" idea she pitched to Fox was "Great American Stories" that she would simply provide narration for. "This is story is about Sam, blah blah blah.."

    If she were a man, it would be rather funny to see her with a rug on her head doing interview, then 2 hours later, without it. I mean, what's the point of having the extra fake hair, if one doesn't wear it all the time.

    Guess she thinks hair pieces are like hats.

    Gryph - regarding the light coming in the window..........somebody on another board mentioned that it looks like a tinting has been put on that window to keep out the light. Reason.........so that we can't see the Teleprompter reflecting in her glasses. However, it's not fool proof (of course), as when her head is in a certain spot, you can still see the Teleprompter.

    I recall last spring(?) SP was doing a Fox interview, with the usual Lake Lucille backdrop behind her, and lo and behold a dog's outline appears walking across the backdrop behind her.

    It wasn't between her and the supposed "window". It was a shadow of a dog seemingly behind some sort of screen; the shadow of a dog walked across her background. It was the strangest thing.

    Will try to find that.

    "pull a train" . . . Really?

    I have been reading your blog for several years, and I enjoy the wit and snark that you imbed in your views. But I have noticed lately that sexual innuendo or outright sexist commentary is popping up in an all too regular frequency (at least for me).

    Maybe I only notice this because I am female, but it is now so blatant that I feel obligated to comment.

    I applaud you for going after politicians, and especially Sarah Palin. And I enjoy the humor you used to use to do it.

    But the jokes (for me) have gone over the edge of good taste, or even common courtesy. I am not to the place where I have stopped reading your blog, but it is no longer the place I go to first. And it is almost to the point of no longer wanting to look at all.

    Palin and Bachman need to be held accountable for what they do and what they say. But going after them with this type of language only serves to lower the discourse.

    I think you are better than this. Let me rephrase that, I know you are better than this.

    Please think about this. The women in this country deserve to be treated better. Even the ones we despise. Every time we use this type of rhetoric about a public figure, it makes it OK for this language to be used against the general female population.

    Our mothers, sisters, aunts and daughters deserve better.

    Mrs. Palin famously quipped in 2008 that the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull is lipstick. Mr. Obama subsequently noted that a pig with lipstick “is still a pig.” Since then, Mrs. Palin has constantly pursued celebrity over credible politics in a time of national crisis. Hence, the biggest pig in the room with lipstick on it turned out to be the half-term governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin.

  30. I've noticed that, when she's using the mountain/dead lake backdrop, it's never a bright sunny day. Always overcast, very little blue sky. Now, I've seen pictures on several AK blogs that show bright sunny days. I've seen pictures over at the flats that show mountains with little to no cloud cover. I've seen pictures of bright sunny summer evenings. But, over by SP's place? Always cloudy. If it's real and not a backdrop? That is what she should take it as a sign.

  31. Anonymous10:52 AM

    First of all you should reedit your intro to this piece--SP does not CHOOSE whether she goes on or not. It is in her contract. There will be a very specific number of times that she goes on to fulfill her contract. And it's the producers who choose to put her on, not her choosing whether or not she will do it. They can ask her to do more than the minimum--which they clearly have stopped doing. But while they are paying her the big bucks, they clearly are only using her for the minimum they are required to. The producers, and possibly the presenters (Hannity, O'Reilly) will determine whether they want her on or not, and when. The fact that she did so many in one day and has been silent for weeks at a time these past few months says that Fox no longer wants to use her and is ONLY doing the minimum per the contract. And they are trying to cake it in all in one swipe. The big question is, when does her contract end and will they renew? Seems like not.

    I'm wondering if they have the same backdrops available for appearances from AZ and AK. Interchangeable.

    The fireplace was the backdrop of her 'blood libel' hateful spew which was when she was in AZ. It may have also been when she was interviewed by Greta when she was on her book tour whil Bristle was slutting herself on DWTS.

    The fact that Palin spends mounds of money to condom wrap her bus, why wouldn't she just have fake backdrops made to -- but then, she'd charge Faux for those as they're required for her appearances on Faux and it was Faux that built the studio in AK and I'm sure installed the equipment in AZ too.

    Palin, in her small pee-brain, thinks it's a way to keep people guessing where she is.

    10:28: If you want to 'control' a blog -- write your own.

    RESP; I don't get where you see the writer trying to "control." I see the writer as perhaps trying to influence, definitely trying to share her thoughts and feelings, but I've heard nothing to suggest the writer was trying to control. Where did see that?

    10:28: Note -- this blog is not your's to control.

    Again, what did you read to suggest control?

    RESP: And it seems that Gryph is willing/content to allow you to do so I'm not sure why this is pertinent. If your point is that because you think it's okay, it should be okay, then you back up the reasoning that if another reader things something is offensive, they have a right to say that also.


    10:28 Your 'feminism' references -- grow up. You, like Palin take us back 50 years. 'Oh, we're the Victims'.

    RESP: Again, I'm not clear how you made the jump from being offended/uncomfortable with certain language, to being a victim. Is there no language that anyone should find offensive/uncomfortable? If not, what are the parameters for when people can share their discomfort with language, and when they can't.

    If Gryphen does care, he has been given information to consider, along with whatever other information he wishes to consider. I heard no demand that Gryphen change.

    The writer admitted she had a problem with some of the language, so telling her she has a problem isn't news, and doesn't advance the conversation. IN fact, it appears to be a conversation stopper, as if you don't like this thread of thought.

    I would be most curious to understand why you support the language found uncomfortable by 9:52.

  46. thank you for allowing your readers to watch the $PAYLIN interviews on fox simply by clicking the picture of her on your website. I am just not able to watch her say anything anymore. I simply cannot stand to listen to her or any of them. Although I adore reading common sense critiques of their interviews.

    I am a firm believer in "you will rise to the level of your own incompetence", I've seen it so many times before. It IS facinating to watch them try to overcome THEMSELVES.

    As for $arah, I believe she is well aware of what is coming out about her, between the books, the movie and the playboy interview. I take it the movie, Sarah Palin, You Betcha!!! is a go and there was absolutely no problem finding the $$$ the producers needed to go forward??? How long did that take once the word got out??? A couple of hours, If that? I thought so.

    Yes, her political career must be over based on certain findings which have not yet been made public. Why else would the films' producer have asked her the question "is your political career over??", during one of her sideshow public interviews. Why would the producer put it in his movie and let us see it beforehand??? I hope it is at the end of the movie...... and I can't wait to find out

    The TV station can insert ANY fake backdrop they want if she is sitting in front of a white backdrop. So she could be in Arizona and be pretending to be in Alaska.

    Supporting Gryphen by saying you aren't outraged seems pertinent. However, if you are entitled to express your opinion (not outraged), so is 9:52 entitled to express her opinion (which was not "outraged").

    I am amazed at the number of people who have responded in ways which seem to wish to clamp down on 9:52's opinion, rather than engage. Which one is entitled to do - but I'm curious as to why. But perhaps I am mistaken and there is a desire to discuss the issue.

    Remember, she signed a "multi-year" contract to be a "regular" commentator and to be the host of "Real America" or whatever the flop of a show that was that was cancelled. I wonder if she is being paid the same amount now for the minimum and without her "show." Maybe there were different tiers they use for income depending on the amount of work. They also built her house/airplane hanger/studio next to her house. I'm sure Fox put an "out" clause in there to get out of it. They are only showing her this week because of this weekend. They have to take advantage of the "buzz."

    What time did you look out of your window? Sunset was at 9:49PM last night. I have a cabin on Lake Lucille and when you are next to a lake it tends to be brighter than other places because of the complete lack of trees on the lake side of your house.

    Like some of the other commenters, I "also, too" cannot stand to listen to SP speak. Or should I say "screech." Watched a minute or so of the Greta interview, about President Obama--gasp--taking a vacation (how dare he be so arrogant, so entitled?) and the minute the Quitter started spewing her crap about how "now's not a good time" for the Pres to be taking time off, it was all I could do not to scream at my computer. Can. Not. Listen. To. Sarah Palin's shit.

    What a phony Palin is! Always bashing President Obama, while offering no REAL solutions to America's problems. Of course that's because she has no solutions! She's slick, but so many have been finally realizing what she is all about. She looks old and haggard, but at least seemed more "alert" in this interview. Guess she realized she better clean up her act more because people were noticing how far downhill she already has gone.

    I am mystified at the attacks on 9:52 for expressing her opinion. I thought she was respectful in the way she said things. She called no one any names - not Gryphen, and not readers of the blog.

    IN response, I found most of the responses to 9:52 to be mean-spirited, full of name-calling and unwarranted assumptions.

    9:52 was clear that while she was uncomfortable, and her desire to read the blog was diminished, she still appreciated many things about Gryphen's blog and still visited.

    It seems that unpopular or critical opinions are not wanted by many people on this blog. That reminds me of other places I've heard of. Gryphen clearly accepts such posts, or else he would censor them.

    perhaps I am mistaken and more people are in support of 9:52 (at least accepting of her opinion, if not in support of her opinion).

  79. Hi Lucy.

    I'll weigh in.

    I think a lot of readers are tired of other readers jumping on the comment section to tell Gryphen that they didn't like something and he is getting: sexist, ugly, vulgar, tasteless...even misogynistic!

    All incredibly nasty things to say to someone who does an incredible amount of work for you to peruse, for FREE. F.R.E.E.

    Many, many readers feel that we sort of "know" Gryphen through his posts and profile - he is incredibly open.

    I would venture to say that we frequent this blog IN NO SMALL PART because of Gryphen, his analysis and his sense of humor.
    Most of us would probably not frequent a blog of someone we truly found distasteful.

    So, I for one continue to enjoy Gryphen's blog, every day, numerous times a day. As someone wrote during the Corndog .gif/gaffe, this blog makes me "laugh and cry. It makes me think".

    Thank you, Gryphen.

    Thank you.

    NancyDrew strikes again with her feminist outrage regarding "pulling a train". I just read a comment from her on another blog, and well, she went to Catholic school, and apparently has never gotten over it.

    I of course have no proof that the outraged commenter is the same mentioned above, but she really busted a nut over the Bachmann/Perry corndog photo, so I'll just assume it is her.

    I must honestly say though, that "pulling a train" did not take me to a nasty place. It didn't even register on my "nasty" radar. Perhaps I'm jaded, I don't know, but wow, people shouldn't read things that upset them, or stir their loins in an uncomfortable way. There's a big wide internet out there just waiting for your to find your comfort zone. Please, just stop ruining it for those more progressive, or less sensitive than yourself.

    Sarah Palin’s Pretend Presidential Campaign Releases Iowa Video

    Sarah Palin escalated her pretend presidential campaign today by releasing a video that claimed contrary to all the evidence presented via videos and polls that Iowa loves Sarah Palin.

    Of course the reaction of Sean Hannity’s instantaneous Iowa State Fair poll question, do you want Sarah Palin to get into this race tells the real story:

    ...Another key indicator of how much distaste there is for a Palin presidential run in Iowa was the We Ask America poll that asked Iowa Republicans who they least wanted to see win the GOP nomination. The person who Iowa Republicans least wanted to see win the 2012 nomination was Sarah Palin at 25%. Newt Gingrich was second with 16%. John Huntsman was third at 14%, and Ron Paul and Michele Bachmann were tied for fourth at 12%.

    The same poll also asked Iowa Republicans who they wanted to see win the nomination. Rick Perry was first at 29%. He was followed by Michele Bachmann at 17% and Mitt Romney at 15%. Sarah Palin finished third from the bottom with 7%. Only Rick Santorum (4%) and Jon Huntsman (1%) had less support.

    Despite what Sarah Palin’s propaganda video is trying to sell you, the crowd reaction and polling data suggest that Iowa Republicans want no part of a Palin 2012 campaign. Republicans may like Sarah Palin, but they don’t want to see her run for president or win the nomination. Palin’s Iowa video really wasn’t about running for president anyway. The video was made to keep the tease going. Sarah Palin is trying to milk every last dime out of her fans, because she knows that her cash cow will flee to greener pastures as soon as she doesn’t run for president.

    Sarah Palin can release all the videos she wants. It doesn’t change the fact that she still has no money, no campaign organization, and no campaign staff. Palin is still taking speaking engagements into October. Sarah Palin’s September 3rd tea party event did have to be moved to a bigger venue in Iowa, but don’t confuse people who will go see her for free with actual supporters who would vote for her.

    Sarah Palin stopped being taken seriously as a politician when she quit on Alaska, but in our celebrity obsessed culture people will often turn out to get a free eyeful of someone famous. The scam is over, Sarah. She can preen and posture all she wants, but without running a serious political campaign, Sarah Palin is nothing more than a relic of failed elections past.

    Gryphen does say things that, IMO, are hateful and hurtful, sometimes sexist and misogynistic as well. You are not alone in noticing it. I have commented on it before.

    As you can see from the comments, some people think any amount of vitriol too little in regards to Palin. Failure to go "all-in" on insulting Palin is likely to get you branded as unpatriotic as our president was for not going "all-in" with the Tea-Partier's definition of "American exceptionalism."

    Teh internets was not made for subtle discernment of ideas. It was made pwning, owning and otherwise dismissing any opinion but your own. Interestingly, the tag line to these rebuttals is often "grow up," the irony of which I have ceased to enjoy.

Were it not for that, there would be no need to change the venue, unless it was to a "cozier" location. I suspect they are making room for the large groups of national press who would want to be there for such an announcement.

    3:03 I agree, Sarah Palin is the least professional of any woman I've seen. Look at women who are professioanl in government and the private sector. She has no clue what the word even means!

    Sarah, go back to Wasilla...it is where you belong! We don't want you on the national scene, in media, in print, or wherever you think you are important. We are sick of you and your antics.

    I love this blog. Read it EVERYDAY. But could we not all jump on each other when someone expresses an opinion that sexism doesn't really advance our cause. Sarah is an idiot. Whether or not she's a "skank" is irrelevant. And smugly dismissing "feminist outrage" isn't going to help the feminists who despise everything that Scarah stands for come to this site and help keep the pressure on her. Please think twice before attacking.

    Christine O'Donnell is on the Joy Behar show tonight. Behar is on holidays and someone else is filling in.

    Another segment of BS.

    Well, I see that she STILL is using the condom-wrap (thanks, whoever named it like that! :) )for her bus. I thought there was a trademark lawsuit going on about her using the 'One Nation' slogan? Whatever became of that? Anybody know?

    I'm a woman and have no problem with Gryphen's choice of language, sense of humor, world view, writing style, personal integrity, his thurst for truth and his journlaistic style. I know some of it can be offensive, but I've honestly seen worse on other blogs.

    My take on the sudden resurgence of The Wonk Eyed (tm) bard of wasilla on Fox News is the fact that President Obama took a ten day vacation on Martha's Vinard, you know, the real kind where you don't plaster the constitution on the side of a bus and crash other people's bbq's while taking footage for a faux campaign commercial.

    What struck me most (Sorry, I can't click the photos and see and hear her voice), was while I was reading this piece, footage of Palin and Couric played on tv. The change in her appearance is just stunning (and not in a good way). She's too cheap to hire a stylist or make-up person, and it seems she's not taking care of her health at all. I don't know if it's the result of the hate in her heart, an eating disorder, or medication of some kind, but she just looks like a shadow of her former self.

    I wonder how paranoid she must be, when other commenters at fox seem to look the same on a consitant level, and even they don't seem happy with her. She even makes Beck look sane, and that says a lot!

    Can't wait for the books and movies to come out, especially Joe's. She'll really come unhinged.

    I just visited Joe McGinniss' blog. http://www.joemcginniss.net/i-just-want-to-say-you-know-can-we-all-get-along/Joe%20McGinniss#comments

    I've noticed the same thing. The internet seems to somehow support/encourage the polar extremes to talk. That's been my experience.
    The only antidotes I know are
    1. benevolent and enlightened censorship,- which has it's own set of problems.
    2. approved membership - which has it's own set of problems
    3. members speaking up and out in protection/support of unpopular ideas to be voiced
    4. members creating a culture that discourages gratuitous swipes at others (be it SP, BP, or other posters.) and encourages discussion of issues.

    Something fishy in Kansas City:
    "She wrote on her SarahPAC Facebook page — that’s her big political action committee — that she spent a “very moving day” in Kansas City, “where it’s easy to remember what really matters, because here we have the National World War I Museum.”

    Palin wrote that she stood in the rain reading many of the memorial inscriptions that proved to be a “somber and humbling reminder of the sacrifices young Americans made nearly a century ago.”

    She posted a picture of her daughter Piper and a niece with the Liberty Memorial in the background. I checked it out, and it’s clearly a photo from a room in the Westin Crown Center hotel. You can tell by the railing behind the two little girls.

    But no one at the museum saw her inside. And word would have spread like wildfire if they had, a spokesman said.

    And no one I could find at the hotel — and I talked to doormen and front-desk types — saw her.
