Sarah Palin on Fox News: Same shit, different wig.

Click the roadkill covering her head to play video.

The interview starts off with Palin patting herself on the back over the recent Ted Cruz win in Texas. She also gets a chance at a little payback by claiming that Cruz's opponent, David Dewhurst, employed a consultant that worked for one of her opponents during the 2006 Governor's race in Alaska:  

"And Dewhurst's campaign was full of these expert consultants who, by the way, have lost race, after race, after race recently. In fact one of them I know well, through reputation, because he worked for an opponent of mine as I ran for governor. And I beat him back then too." 

So apparently the Grizzled Mama believes that Cruz's victory is HER victory as well. Gee I wonder if all of the other folks who endorsed him are taking credit for his win? Don't you love how Palin can NEVER let an old foe get away without twisting the knife a little if the opportunity arises?

After Palin finishes congratulating herself for Cruz's victory Bolling asks her about a possible invite to the GOP convention in Tampa.

Palin, referring to Romney says the following:

"You know some of his people have talked to some of my people, quote unquote, the staff that I still have at the political action committee. I just want to help. And my PAC, we just ant to help and sometimes helping means you step aside and you don't, certainly you don't invite yourself into a leadership, or speaker-ship type role in a convention like this. You try to work with a strategy that the campaign has in place. And evidently Romney's campaign has a strategy that they will implement. And whether I'm there or not as a speaker I'm comfortable either way."

Okay if ANYBODY believes this, I have an Alaskan bridge to nowhere to sell you. I love the part where she says "all I want to do is help." Apparently this kind of help involves spending thousands of dollars of her PAC money on "postage" (ie plastic surgery), and screeching at crowds that it is time to replace almost ALL of the current Republican Senators and Congress members with her hand picked Constitutionally ignorant Tea Party candidates. Oh yeah, SHE has been a lot of help so far!

Bolling then goes on to mention that, in his words, Obama had "buried the hatchet" with Bill Clinton and had given HIM a huge speaking role in the Dems convention. And Elizabeth Warren as well. Going on to ask why Romney would not give her a "high profile spot."

This is her reply:

"Well, I know speaking personally there is no hatchet to bury, or olive branch that needs to be passed between Mitt Romney and myself. We have a good relationship, and I have great respect for Mitt, and I am so thankful that the GOP has a strong candidate who understands the private sector, and what it takes to get the economy roaring again. That he will be our candidate. So I can’t speak though for their strategy and who it is that they will choose to be participants in the convention. 

I will tell you though. It’s crackin’ me up watching what the Democrats totally, this idiotic strategy of theirs to have Elizabeth Warren who has almost confessed to her Marxist views. These views that replicate failed European countries about redistribution of wealth and all these failed policies, and she is going to be the face of that message in the convention. I think it is very risky of the Democrats, because there are a lot of good Reagan Democrats, a lot of blue collar, hardworking, working class Democrats, Blue Dogs, who don’t want to see that type of message being reflective of their entire platform, because it is a ridiculous and failed plank in a platform. These Marxist views."

"Marxist views?" Who the hell does she think she is, Joe McCarthy? It is one thing to believe the other side has their priorities wrong, but quite another to claim they are Communists.

Apparently the shit in THIS bat has reached critical mass!

After this exchange the Newsweek cover, declaring Mitt Romney a wimp, is brought up allowing Palin to slip back into her regular attack on the "lamestream media." Though she does make a funny when she claims, after that huge helping of word salad she just tossed on the air,  that the conservative side does a better job at getting their message out because they are more "articulate" and use "commons sense." (Oh the irony.)

Like I said most of this is nothing new, however Palin's increased frustration at NOT being given a speaking role at the convention is clearly pissing her off, despite her claims to the contrary. If Mitt does not throw her some kind of bone she may end up hiring a bus and driving it around the convention honking her horn and inviting the people inside to come to the REAL convention at her strip mall location.

Or perhaps she well just knock Lisa Ann off the stage to do her OWN political pole dance again. (After all THAT is where most of the movers and shakers of the Republican party will be hanging out, don'tcha know?)
