Sarah Palin gives interview about new faux hunting show, Fact Check.org calls her CPAC speech mooseshit, while Jimmy Fallon mocked the fact she plagiarized Dr. Seuss.

Courtesy of Access Atlanta:

 Politician turned pundit Sarah Palin says vegetarianism "is an old Indian word for poor shot" in a new interview appearing in the April issue of the magazine Guns & Ammo. 

She also shares wisdom from her father, who advocated taking children on hunting expeditions. "I'm really blessed that all my kids love a rugged outdoor lifestyle," she says. 

You know that whole "Indian word for poor shot" joke is as old and used up as Palin's lady parts.

Oh and by the way we call them Native Americans today.

For the record there is virtually nobody in Wasilla who has ever known Sarah to hunt, and seasoned hunters who have seen her hold a rifle all agree she could not hit the side of a barn if the barrel were pressed up against it. I have little doubt that his interview will be chock full of the same fake family mythology and bullshit as ever other one she has ever given.

Speaking of bullshit, here is what FactCheck.org reported about her comments about Obamacare at CPAC: 

Sarah Palin told her fellow conservatives at CPAC that “there are more uninsured today than when Obama began all of this,” referring to the Affordable Care Act. But there is no evidence of that. Annual Census surveys show the percentage of uninsured Americans in 2010, when the ACA became law, was 16.3 percent. It dropped to 15.7 percent in 2011 and 15.4 percent in 2012. Gallup surveys show the percentage of uninsured Americans hit a five-year low in the first two months of this year. 

It is too early to determine the full impact of the ACA, but the fact is that the percentage of uninsured Americans has been on the decline since the law took effect — and, conversely, the percentage of the insured has increased. Congressional budget experts project that the law will reduce the number of the uninsured by 13 million by the end of this year. 

The Census Bureau’s annual Current Population Survey shows 16.3 percent of Americans were without health insurance in 2010, when the law took effect. Since then, the rate has fallen to 15.7 percent in 2011 and 15.4 percent in 2012. (The raw numbers have gone down, too, from 50 million uninsured in 2010 to 48 million in 2012.) 

As for the state of the “uninsured today,” which was Palin’s time frame, Gallup regularly conducts a survey called the Well-Being Index of more than 28,000 Americans. On March 10, Gallup issued a press release on its latest survey that carried the headline, “U.S. Uninsured Rate Continues to Fall.” The survey, which covered Jan. 2 to Feb. 28, shows the percentage of uninsured Americans hit a new five-year low at 15.9 percent, down from 17.1 percent in the final quarter of 2013. 

By the end of 2014, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates the law will reduce the number of uninsured Americans by 13 million people. The report says there will be 25 million fewer uninsured Americans in 2024 because of the law.

In other words, piles and piles of Palin's signature brand of moose poop. 

In fact the Affordable Care Act is doing quite well, and one can only imagine how much better it would have done if the conservatives had not been pissing on it from the moment it was passed, and had actually worked to help make it more successful.

But what am I saying, that would have meant doing something good for their constituents.

Now in the comedy arena Palin provided much inspiration, especially for Jimmy Fallon.

      Vegetarian is an Indian word for poor shot.

      Today, there are many people who do choose a vegetarian life style either for health reasons or for religious reasons. Would Sarah Palin make fun of her BFF Israeli friends who are Orthodox Jews? I doubt if they can eat any of the meat that she claims to kill. It would have to be butchered by a Kosher butcher. When Palin waves around a delicious moose steak, she's insulting her religious Jewish friends who can't and won't eat that kind of meat.

      And, by the way, is Todd's free health care called Indian Health Care?

      I'm a hunter and this is a picture of a fool with zero credibility, period.

      Obviously no real gun expert/hunter puts their finger on the trigger until they are ready to fire a kill shot. You can easily see that her index finger is bent and resting on the trigger, not extended out straight, parallel to the barrel.

      Real hunters and sportsmen practice firearms safety and treat every gun with respect as though it were loaded at all times. It's unfortunate that we read about careless acts caused by idiots (like the one pictured here) every day resulting in someone being shot and sometimes killed by the gun handler's negligence.

      Sarah Palin is a fraud, and real sportsmen will mock a brand or sponsor who go along with this ruse. I already know that I won't be watching this show, because the show sponsors obviously lack the ability to choose a knowledgeable spokesperson. There are many "famous" faces that are credible hunters who would be interesting to watch, but real hunters will be insulted by this network trying to pass this person off as an expert on the outdoors, or even an enthusiast.

      This is nothing but a joke.

  5. I will defer to those more accustomed to guns than I, but in the picture it looks as though her finger is awfully close to the trigger; i.e., could accidentally fire the gun.

      No experienced weapons owner that believes in safety would ever hold their finger anywhere near the trigger when holding a gun unless you are aimed and ready to take a shot. Also, if I am holding any weapon, pistol, rifle, shotgun, and even my bow I aim it at the ground unless I am preparing to shoot.
      And if you glance down she is wearing tennis shoes which is a sure sign she has never spent ANY time hunting or even out enjoying nature.

    Fallon had to introduce the Sarah Seuss clip with the disclaimer that
    " it was all true, this isn't made up ", etc.
    It.. was.. that.. bad.
    I had heard Palin was awful, but, this was probably her worst public performance in history.
    I just saw a brief clip and it was literally jaw dropping.
    Her Paul Revere comments were laugh out loud at her desperation to find a historical fact.
    But, this..the high pitched screech and the scenery chewing theatrics as she read her words are breath taking-in the shocking way .
    Fallon had a look of disbelief as would most viewers.
    The audience laughed at Palin , not with her.

    5. Anon at 10:04 AM, I'll also bet you're not exactly enticed by the PR for this show, either.

      Text from that first picture above: Sarah Palin lends her patriotic passion in hosting "Amazing America," a new show on Sportsman Channel. The show targets anyone interested in hunting, shooting and fishing and focuses on unique personalities and their activities.

      When the show was conceived, the concept was to illustrate colorful people and places previously unknown to many. The common thread linking each episode is in the show's title. The program celebrates and spotlights interesting Americans who, through their creativity or heroics, do incredible things.

      Sarah was drawn to this opportunity because it was a show about America, and she's politically incorrect, as she needs to be, when it comes to advocating for hunters and defenders of freedom. Ahead of the April 3rd premiere, she shared some time with Guns & Ammo to answer a few questions.

    Or Bristol, who'd find it hard to go moose hunting in Arizona, especially while she's studying how to give facials to the Duck Dynasty crew?
    Maybe Willow, who is learning not to smirk and be sarcastic as she labors over the perm rods on the head of a blue-haired grandma?
    Piper''s busy with basketball, shooting balloons from a stationary horse, and, maybe, doing her homework.
    So that leaves Trig, that "lucky little fella," who can't hear without the hearing aids or see without the glasses he doesn't have, to track down grizzly bears in the snow. Does he wear sneakers to hunt in, like you, his "mother"?

    I'm amazed at watching Palin and how she handles the press - promotes herself - ALWAYS emphasized prior to some special she is promoting for herself on TV.

    Look back at her history prior to the failing reality shows. Levi is ALWAYS brought back to the forefront w/the commentary about them not getting along, which always causes renewed interest.

    I think it is all pre-planned and always done to benefit her. And, the media ALWAYS falls for it. Her Sportsman Show is nearing, and even though it will probably be a huge flop, she's been getting national press over and over again on the various cable channels (for the last few days). The coverage has been non stop to include the late night comedian shows.

    She's not smart, but street savy! And, it's very obvious she could care less about the type of coverage she obtains - be it positive or negative. All she wants is the recognition and coverage. She is getting it AGAIN!

    She sneers, scoffs, denigrates, fakes outdoors huntress gun-toting child of the frontier, deceives the un-insured into thinking ACA doesn't work. Sarah's meme: "I am invincible, and soooo wonderful"/you middle class and poor folks are ON YOUR OWN". Instead of finding and working towards helping the "we the people", she searches for any job that will get guys to lust after her. Notice she never chooses a project that seeks a female audience. She's not the motherly kind. Doesn't care about special needs issues, or advocacy for children, or teens or the needy. She's all about self-promotion with a big sleazy smile and a wig. What has the woman done to make a difference?

    The world knows she's 'blessed' with an outdoorsy family and the great Alaskan frontier in her back yard. How many times does she think people must hear this and not, after a while, get tired ot it? Even her bots can hear about her wild natural wonderfulness only so many times without going crazy. Sarah Palin can't comprehend that she is repetitive and tiresome. It would be like she has an early set-on Alzheimer's or something.

    This is all she is. Her heart is void of understanding, love, charity, compassion, forgiveness. Her heart is full of pure hate, jealousy, revenge, haughty overbearing pride. She's a ravenous wolf, never being filled, always looking for ways to lift herself up above everyone else.

And what we bonded over was not a mutual revulsion at her politics. What we bonded over was the abject failure of the American press to say what had to be said about this preposterous, delusional maniac plucked from deserved obscurity by John McCain to be a heartbeat away from a potential presidency.

    Her candidacy was a total farce; a disgrace; an outrage to American democracy; an appalling act of cynicism. Joe saw the creation of this media figure as a continuation of the Ailes recipe for optic politics, and he was appalled as so many mainstream outlets nonetheless insisted on taking this joke seriously.

    So he went to do what others wouldn’t: to find the real truth about Palin, and he came closer than almost anyone.

    I don’t see his last book as some kind of aberration, though it was obviously not in the same league as The Selling Of The President or Fatal Vision. I saw them all as a continuing crusade for a journalism that takes a stand, that welcomes obloquy if that’s what it takes to get to the truth, and that cares about our democracy. He would never have aimed for the “view from nowhere” or the facile mantra that one leading Washington journalist gave me when asked to explain why they hadn’t sought any proof for the fantastic Trig story that Palin spun: “Why ask questions when you know you won’t get an answer?” For Joe that was pathetic. As indeed it was.
    One email I got from him that captures his tenacity and his humor:

    My shrink asked me this afternoon if I thought my book was a factor in Palin’s decision not to run. I said, “It might have been. It certainly didn’t tip her toward running. She may well have seen what one lone reporter turned up in four months and realized what teams from MSM outlets might learn in twelve, as they would have done over the next year, if she’d run.”

    She said, “In that case, the people of the United States will be eternally in your debt.”

    ...And Obama will trounce Romney in November. As he deserves to.

    And Sarah is finished. Forever.

    I’ll miss him – but not as much as we will.

      My favorite books regarding Sarah Palin which I read and still have in my library are: "The Rogue - Searching for the REAL Sarah Palin" (by Joe McGinniss); "The Lies of Sarah Palin -the Untold Story Behind Her Relentless Quest for Power" (by Geoffrey Dunn) and "Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin" (by Frank Bailey w/Ken Morris and Jeanne Devon).

      All written with many proof sources and/or hands on experience (Bailey) as backup to their words!

      Thank you, Joe, for coming to Alaska, actually living in Wasilla and interviewing folks in the Valley area (as well as others parts of Alaska) that you did concerning the Palins. Great job and most enlightening - especially to Alaskans!

      Sarah and Todd Palin are not the Alaskans they profess themselves to be!

    Watch Sarah as she amazes her poor duped followers into believing that the lazy gaggle of greedy grifters known as the Palins love the rugged lifestyle. I mean they shove the opposite in their delusional fan clubs faces and get away with it!

    Photos of Todd in his 4,000 square foot hanger full of four wheelers, snowmobiles [ that's what we call them in Mi. although snowmachine sounds tougher] a private airplane and expensive tools up the ying yang. But her cult says "I love Sarah because she is real and tells it like it is and is humble also too"

    Rugged has a whole new meaning.

    Buying a smaller motorhome The Horror!

    Flying on a commercial jet instead of a private one

    Flying to an exclusive hunting lodge that you are part owner of.

    Owning only two homes and two non rugged cabins, i mean that's really roughing it when you have to ride that snowmachine back to your nice cozy cabin in the middle of the wilderness [snark]

    Having a camera crew follow you around while you read a script and try to act like you know what your talking about in between getting your makeup and hair touched up by the little people who she has to deal with in the film crew.

    C'mon people being rugged is hard.

      We have been wondering since 2008, where did all the money come from to purchase all those "toys", plane, boat, etc. since no one works and the governor's salary couldn't have been much.

      Then Sarah "gave it away" when she said Toad isn't in a prostitution ring, when no one even mentioned a prostitution ring. Money laundering and grifting is their idea of work ethic.

  32. Is Palin going to field-dress a moose on her stupid-ass show? Because that line smelled like bullshit from day one years ago. The smell only grew stronger with her idiotically incompetent "Let's Kill a Caribou! Where? There! Where? There!" fiasco on the mercifully short-lived Alaska's Own Tundradunce.

    4. You know how that "field dress a moose" story came about? Apparently Sarah told her posse of friends that she could, because when 4 of the 5 were interviewed shortly after she was named McCain's VP choice, one of them mentioned to the interviewer that Palin could do this.

      (they called their group "the elite 6" which included Sarah Palin and the gal missing from the interview, Tilly Ketchum, the one Sarah recently referred to as her gay friend -- I wonder if Tilly was told to or volunteered to stay away from an interview in 2008 so that anti-gay Republicans didn't get "the wrong idea" about Sarah)

    Nice that Fallon called out Palin for the 'cut and paste' on her former-favorite late night show.

    For a brief moment during her speech, I thought she was going to have an honest moment with that h/t to the internet for the parody. But she stayed true to character--she had to lie, was compelled to lie that she'd authored most of the parody.

    And didn't it seem strange the way she turned the reading of the into a comparison between herself and Ted Cruz?

    Ted Cruz READ the book.
    Sarah has MEMORIZED it.

    Ted read it via Skype to stay in touch with his 2 kids.
    Sarah had 5 kids. She reads a bedtime story to Trig every night.

    Ted read the classic children's book.
    Sarah 'created' her own version to educate [brainwash] her child in 'conservatism'.

    Ted's reading was dramatic.
    Sarah's was more dramatic.

    She can't help herself. She must lie. She must co-opt attention. She must be the best.

    Poll: Only Republicans and conservatives say Obamacare is ‘too liberal’

    CNN polls on Obamacare take the added step of asking why people disapprove of the law. Result: CNN polls offer a more nuanced view of public opinion on health care than some others do.

    Today’s CNN poll finds that 39 percent of Americans favor Obamacare, while 57 percent oppose it. That’s awful, right? But it turns out only 39 percent oppose the law because it’s “too liberal,” while 12 percent say it “isn’t liberal enough.” That’s a total of 51 percent who favor the law or don’t think it goes far enough.

    And if you peek into the internals, it turns out that Republicans and conservatives are the only groups who oppose Obamacare as too liberal. A breakdown:

    * 67 percent of Republicans, and 60 percent of conservatives, say the law is too liberal. By contrast…

    * Among moderates, only 38 percent say it’s too liberal, while 43 percent favor it and another 9 percent say it’s not liberal enough — a total of 52 percent. Breakdown: 38 say it’s too liberal; 52 percent favor it or say it’s not liberal enough.

    * Among independents, only 43 percent say it’s too liberal, while 30 percent favor it and another 14 percent say it’s not liberal enough — a total of 44 percent. Breakdown: 43-44.

    * Older people are said to fear or dislike Obamacare, but among people who are 50 and up, only 39 percent say it’s too liberal, while 39 percent favor it and another 11 percent say it’s not liberal enough — a total of 50 percent. Breakdown: 39-50.

    * Whites are said to lean Republican, but among them, 46 percent say Obamacare is too liberal, while 34 percent favor it and another12 percent say it’s not liberal enough — a total of 46. Breakdown: 46-46.

    This may help explain why repeal remains unpopular. This is admittedly speculative, but it seems plausible that those who say the law isn’t liberal enough are saying they want the health system reformed but are not convinced, for a variety of reasons, among them the daily barrage of negative attacks on the law, that Obamacare will get the job done.
