The dastardly duo of Sarah Palin and Sean Hannity continue their assault on President Obama. Their choice of weapons? Bill Maher, David Letterman, and Bristol Palin's ghostwritten blog.

I have to say that I find it rather fascinating that in order to hold their "poor Sarah pity party" these Fox hosts first feel it necessary to show all of the jokes about how stupid she is. It almost makes me wonder if they are not getting their OWN shots in before they have to meet their contractual agreement to defend Klondike Kardashian.

In any event I think some of those jokes are still pretty damn funny, and I like the idea that they keep being shown to Fox viewers, because you just KNOW that some of them are laughing at her too.

And it only makes it MORE humorous that, since this interview, like so many before it, is solely focused on bitching about how Palin was "treated" by the comedians, that she starts off by saying that it doesn't bother her.  Obviously it's drives her fucking crazy, THAT is why this segment exists!

After that opening Hannity, essentially frothing at the mouth (Doesn't Santorum have "frothing" copyrighted?), discusses Michelle Obama's recent appearance on the Letterman Show in a pathetic attempt to smear her by bringing up a three year old joke.

Palin's response is to take hypocrisy on a steroid binge:

"Yeah see you have a choice as to whether you will participate in that environment of the Leno's, uh not necessarily Jay Leno, he's been relatively good, but the Letterman's, and the Bill Maher's, some of the ESPN sports network teams even that have been..really ruthless against unwed teenage mothers, and those with handicaps (The entire Palin family), and women, and Christians, and Conservatives. You have a choice as to whether you will perpetuate what it is they spew by being a participant or not, and I choose not to."

Really Sarah? YOU are not a participant when somebody says horrendous things about women? Is that your claim?

Courtesy of Politico:

“I think the definition of hypocrisy is for Rush Limbaugh to have been called out, forced to apologize and retract what it is that he said in exercising his First Amendment rights and never is that the same applied to the leftist radicals who say such horrible things about the handicapped, about women, about the defenseless,” Palin told CNN in an interview from Wasilla, Alaska. 

“So I think that’s the definition of hypocrisy, and that’s my two cents for you,” she added.

Essentially the entire reason that this attack on Bill Maher, and President Obama, has been launched using the Palin family as a cudgel, has been to provide a false equivalency smoke screen to protect Rush Limbaugh. Who is currently suffering greatly for attacking Sandra Fluke, and suggesting that she was a prostitute, a whore, and asking that she post tapes of herself having sex so that Limbaugh and others could watch them.

Palin apparently had NO trouble "being a participant" in that controversy. Did she?

Hannity quickly segues into discussing the post on Bristol Palin's Nancy French's new blog, as if Bristol had actually written it. And the Grizzled Mama does her part by pretending that she was not the person behind the site and is NOT using it in order to hide behind her children while continuing her attacks on the Left and President Obama.

But in her fervor to attack President Obama, Palin unabashedly lies about yet another three year old incident: 

"Kind of the point that Bristol was trying to make in calling out the President, and the hypocrisy there on the Left, is that our own President, mocking children and adults with special needs as he referred, mockingly, on late nigh talk show about um you know, acting goofy like those in the Special Olympics. You know that was kind of a hurtful thing for the heart of our country. And I don't think the President ever apologized for that for that. He's got very selective ways of showing compassion and feeling America's pain. Bristol was just kind of pointing out some of that, and I think it was very effective the way she did it."

Of course that entire statement about the President not apologizing after making the Special Olympics joke, which by the way was on the Jay Leno show, is ridiculous. In fact the President called the Chairman of the Special Olympic board BEFORE THE JOKE EVEN AIRED to apologize.

"He expressed his disappointment and he apologized, I think, in a way that was very moving," Tim Shriver, the chairman of the Special Olympics board, told "Good Morning America" today. 

"He expressed that he did not intend to humiliate this population, certainly didn't want to embarrass or give anybody any more reason for pain or just suffering, I would say," said Shriver, who received the call from Obama as the president was flying back to Washington. 

 "He was very sincere, expressed an interest and an openness in being more engaged in the movement, and said he was a fan of the movement and I think, importantly, he said he was ready to have some of our athletes over to the White House to bowl or play basketball or help him improve his score."

Nice try you lunatic, but this President has been very consistent in taking into consideration the needs of ALL Americans when he makes policy decisions, or speaks out on an issue, or inadvertently makes a gaffe.

And speaking of apologizing, when did YOU apologize for claiming the President "Palled around with domestic terrorists?" Or when you claimed that the Affordable Care Act contained "death panels?" And where was your apology to Gabrielle Giffords when your constant hate-filled rhetoric, as well as placing gunsights on her district, resulted in her being shot in the face?

Oh that's right, never!

Update: Here is that link to Palin's Facebook post featuring multiple pictures of Trig looking very cute and happy.  And, as has been noted by others, Sarah is not in ANY of the pictures.

Go figure.
