Wearing a pelt she obtained during the Walt Disney World Jungle Cruise, Sarah Palin gave a rambling barely coherent speech which demonstrated that the Furries were not the only ones f**king Goofy.

Palin accused the Wall Street protesters of reaching the wrong conclusions. 

"They feel legitimate indignation about the Wall Street bailouts," she said of the protesters. "Financial institutions behaving recklessly and then we get stuck with the bill. And then three years later many of us are still quite ticked off about it all because we don't have assurance that those who caused the financial collapse in the first place, that they be held accountable, and that it won't happen again. 

"They say, 'The Wall Street fat cats got a bailout. I want one, too.' And the correct answer is, no one should get a bailout," she said. 

There is a grassroots movement that wants to end "crony capitalists receiving Wall Street bailouts, auto company bailouts, corporate welfare and the influence of big-business lobbyists, she said, "It's called the Tea Party." 

Much of Palin's address offered the view of Washington D.C. from Alaska. She concluded that Obama, Eastern elitists, leftist environmentalists, the mainstream media, "some of those socialist groups, ACORN, and the Communist party" all try to impose their views from afar.

Besides the demonstration that she simply does not understand anything about the OWS protesters, this speech was essentially the same old thing that most of us have heard a million times before it seems, and the kind of barely coherent bitching about Obama that is obviously still worth $100,000 to the Republicans in this country. (If you have the stomach you can watch a portion of it here.)

However what is more interesting to me at this point is WHO was allowed to accompany the Grizzled One, and who was forced to stay behind.

Grizzly-hunting Tea Party princess Sarah Palin took some of her family to Walt Disney World Wednesday before speaking to the Republican Party of Florida dinner Thursday night and declared that it was “heavenly.” 

“Yesterday, we decided to take a day, our first trip to Disney World. And I was so thrilled. ‘Oh, that’s what people have been talkin’ about all these years.’ It was heavenly,” she told the Republicans. “It was refreshing.” 

She brought he daughters Bristol, 21, and Piper, 10, and son Trig, 3, who has Down syndrome. 

“It was good to see good people, and a good organization at Disney, accommodating a child like Trig,” she said. 

Her husband Todd and other daughter Willow didn’t come, she said, because they were busy hauling a truck of snow blower machines from Minnesota to Alaska. (Now ask yourself WHY would a man married to a multimillionaire miss a visit to the "Happiest place on earth" to drive snow blower machines up from Minnesota when they have a wide selection in the local Fred Meyers right there in Wasilla, Alaska? Or is that the only Alaska sounding excuse that Palin could think of on the spur of the moment?)

Now let me tell you that from an Alaskan's perspective going to Disney World is a pretty big damn deal! Especially, if like Sister Sarah claims, this was the family's first visit.

So what I am saying is that it is NOT a trip which Willow would miss voluntarily, I don't care what kind of teenage "too cool for this shit"  attitude she was currently wearing as a defense mechanism against her mother's moosecrap. (I went to Disneyland for the first time when I was seventeen, and it took a month to wipe the smile off of my face.)

So there has to be a good reason why Willow was MIA.  And the same goes for Tripp, who should have been at the right age to have the time of his life. (What's wrong Sarah? Is there something about Tripp that does not fit into the script?)

As for Todd, I predicted a while ago that his appearances would be few and far between, as the happy married couple shtick became less and less necessary.

Essentially what we are witnessing is the crumbling of the Palin family facade happening in real time.  And no I do not get any pleasure from watching it happen, however I am not at all surprised by it either. The point of almost all of the books written lately is that virtually everything about Sarah Palin is a carefully crafted mythology which is becoming harder, and harder for her to maintain.

Personally I think the strain of trying to hold everything together could be heard in her voice during her speech. It kind of reminded me of her resignation speech back in 2009.

Oh well, it really could not happen to a more deserving lunatic in my opinion. You know what they say, "You reap what you sow, " and lady you have sowed more hate and ugliness than just about anybody in this country and it is about high time you harvested the fruits of that labor.
