Sarah Palin spends her 49th birthday attending funeral. I wonder if it is for her career? Update!

Sarah Palin in Phoenix Airport possibly on her way to funeral in Texas.

Todd and I are in Dallas today to attend Chris Kyle’s memorial and funeral service. I find it sad to see that flags aren’t flying at half staff for this American hero. (Well then lady you should call your pal Rick Perry since it is the Governor's call when the flags should be lowered or not.)We’re surrounded today by American patriots here in Texas – by Chris’ fellow veterans and active duty warriors. In honor of them, I hope our commander in chief pays his respects in some gesture of condolence for their comrade in arms who sacrificed so much to keep him and all of us safe. (Well he is busy running the country, and his wife Michelle has been busy paying her respects to the innocent victims of gun violence here in this country.)


We may never know to what extent Chris kept us free or how many lives he saved by his brave actions in the line of fire. But his fellow warriors know how important he was. My son Track couldn’t meet Chris when Todd and I first met him because Track was deployed to Iraq. Then when we got to know Chris even better, our son was deployed in Afghanistan. We’ve met a lot of people in recent years, and Track has been privileged to meet them as well. But he said about Chris, “Mom, he’s the ONE person in the entire world I would be star-struck to meet. He’s it.” 

God bless this great warrior. Let us keep his wife and children in our prayers, and may we never forget him or his sacrifice.

So Palin's son, who may or may not have actually been to Afghanistan, thinks that the "ONE person in the entire world" that he would be "star struck to meet" is a guy made famous for killing 160 people, and then writing a self aggrandizing book about it, in which he refers to the people of Iraq as "sub-human." “savages” and “cowards?"

I guess that is hardly surprising considering the fact that he was raised in a house by a man who once brutalized a fellow student because he was black, and whose mother is famous for inciting racism across the nation in response to the election of the first African American President.

So where better for a woman who spends much of her time mythologizing her life, and promoting the use and misuse of guns, than at the funeral of a man who made a name for himself by killing people from a distance, and out of harm's way, and who lost his life at the hands of a man whose mental health was virtually destroyed by his time around gun violence?

Is too much irony poisonous?

Update: By the sway it looks like once again Palin is wrong as flags ARE being flown at half mast.

Idiot!

Update 2: Of course Palin could not show up at this funeral without grabbing some attention for herself. Here is a short interview with Granny Grifter.
The word for today kids is "patriotism."
