Sarah Palin on Greta Van Susteren show, referring to herself: "Sometimes you're an old bat, sometimes you're just bald." I think I got that quote right.

You would think after all of this time that SOMEBODY would have explained to the Grizzled Mama that citizen's boycotting a business, or speaking against their hate speech, does NOT infringe on the business's First Amendment rights.

She does this yet again in discussing the Chick-Fil-A kerfuffle, and makes herself and other Right Wing idiots sound like protectors of the Constitution, instead of what they truly are, supporters of a business that spends millions of dollars to fund an anti-gay agenda. (By the way Palin defines "traditional marriage" thusly: "One boy, one girl, falling in love, getting married." Perhaps she did not stress this very well at home since we saw last night on a certain reality show that Bristol's idea of a "traditional" relationship, is "One girl, one pussywhipped boy, doing what he's told, playing the substitute father to the child she birthed out of wedlock and is spitefully keeping form seeing his biological father.")

Palin also claims that she was "approached" about attending the RNC convention in Tampa, but claims that she was waiting to find out "what they have in mind" and has not heard back since. (Big surprise.)

My guess is that what the Romney campaign "has in mind" is to keep Palin as far away from the candidate as humanly possible. Perhaps even in another state if possible.

During her explanation about why she was unconcerned about who would or would not show up at the convention (Yeah right!), Palin also brings up Dick Cheney's name which gives Greta the opening I am sure she was waiting for to ask Klondike Kardashian about the fact that Cheney said that Palin was "not a particularly good choice in 2008."(Uh oh!)

Up until then the Grizzled One had been fairly subdued, but now she bares her fangs and starts spitting venom all over the place:


 Sarah Palin:  Well, seeing as how Dick -- excuse me, Vice President Cheney never misfires, then evidently he's quite convinced that what he evidently read about me by the lame stream media having been written what I believe is a false narrative over the last four years, evidently Dick Cheney believed that stuff and that's a shame so he characterized me as being a mistake. (Yeah, why should Cheney listen to actual facts? He never allowed facts to bother him when he was lying about WMD's in Iraq, the definition of torture, or whether or not the Bush administration was wiretapping American citizens, while he was Vice President?) 

Here's where the mistake would have been, Greta. I believe, had I not answered the call -- I was honored to get to run for vice president of the United States alongside Senator John McCain. I was honored to accept the nomination from the GOP and I think that the mistake would have been me just deciding that, 'Hey, I love my 86, 87% approval rating in Alaska as the Governor. (That I worked hard faking poll numbers to achieve.) Moving and shaking and watching corrupt politicians and businessmen go to prison for crony capitalism, working on 16 to 20% of domestic energy supplies being able to be increased via Alaska's resource development. Ethics reform legislation that I was working on, that led to the 86% approval rating.' 

I could have decided, 'You know, I don't want to be bloodied up. I don't want my family to go through what we will have to go through in order to put ourselves forward in the name of service to our country,' but I did it. It would have been a mistake to have hunkered down, just lived that luxurious, if you will, comfortable lifestyle in Alaska. (Which, if I may, was far LESS comfortable than the lifestyle she now lives due to the millions she has earned since quitting the governorship. I'm just saying.)


Instead we, like so many other people across this country, decided we will do all that we can in order to defend our republic, put America back on the right track, and I believe I did the right thing in accepting that call. (I mean just look at my cool new house and my awesome assortment of wigs! Freedom!)


Greta van Susteren: I have two reflections. One, I went back and looked at the poll numbers before you were selected as the vice president, afterwards and at the time the financial cries hit and people can look on GretaWire to see the impact, or how it changed when you were named. The second thing, I might note that Vice President Cheney took a little bit of a slap at Condoleezza Rice in his book, saying she got teared up.

He has two daughters and I believe he's been a good father to them, but he's not afraid to say thing about the women but I don't know what that means. But anyway, your thoughts? (In other words do you agree that he just hates women, and his statement is NOT due to your incredible lack of ability and blatant ignorance?)


Palin: Everybody misfires once in a while. 

And you know what? In the GOP establishment, what I have found, Greta, sometimes you are the Louisville Slugger, baby, and sometimes you are the ball, and evidently in these last months, per many, many comments from those within the GOP establishment, I'm the ball. (Oh, okay well I MIGHT have slightly misquoted her in my headline.  Oh well, close enough!) That's okay. I'm out there working hard for Senate candidates, for House candidates, for those downstream positions that can help stop this failed policy that Obama has put in place.

I love how Palin always makes herself out to the this patriotic fighter for the Constitution and freedom, when clearly the ONLY thing she cares about is keeping her name in the  public consciousness and making money.

And gee, what's more American than that?
