Sarah Palin, guest: I think SNL is egotistical if they believe that it was truly an effect on maybe the public debate about who should lead the country in the next four years.
Palin: I know that they portrayed me as an idiot, and I hated that, and I wanted to come on the show and counter some of that. (Kind of hard to accuse SNL of portraying her as an idiot when the writers borrowed whole blocks of her actual answers to Katie Couric, much of it left unedited, for one of their segments.)
Palin: If I ran into Tina Fey again today, I would say: "You need to at least pay for my kids' braces or something from all the money that you made off of pretending that you're me! My goodness, you capitalized on that! Can't you contribute a little bit? Jeez!"
Yeah lady I think enough people have already contributed to help to support that family of yours.
And Tina Fey can keep her money, after all she earned it money the old fashioned way. She worked for it.
Remember that? Remember working?
The funny thing is that Tina Fey demonstrated a great deal of empathy for Palin and even tried to protect her.
Fey: I was the one pitching, "Why don't you start her backstage, you know, with Alec, so the crowd won't boo." She had just been booed at a hockey game in Philadelphia, and I thought we had to be cautious. And of course the audience was just happy to see her because she was a star, a media star. Even the New York audience was not feeling their politics at that moment.
SNL did a brilliant job with Palin (Much of which you can see by visiting the Hollywood Reporter website.), but they did NOT destroy McCain and Palin's chances in 2008. That they did all by themselves.
All SNL did was allow us all to blow off steam by laughing at what could have been a terrible tragedy for this country.
And for that we owe them, and the amazing Tina Fey, a huge debt of gratitude.
Tina Fey was very nice about Palin in her book, Bossy Pants. Once again, her issue is that there is no issue.
ReplyDeleteTexasMel
How do you make an idiot out of an idiot?
ReplyDeleteSince she, and her flying monkeys troll your blog so much, maybe you ought to challenge her intelligence. Like, I bet Sarahskank couldn't read a third grade book with full understanding of its' contents. Nah, too hard, and she would only get one of her "postage" to write a s y n o p s i s of that book. (I spelt it slowly for you, Sarahskank).
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't take that bet since it's apparent Sarah not only doesn't read but doesn't understand most of what she is forced to read. Ted Cruz didn't understand the message in Green Eggs and Ham, Palin for sure wouldn't.
DeleteTina fey is the topper most of the popper most.
ReplyDeleteI agree G that Tina Fey is a talented actress. I also think that Sarah is having money troubles. She bought into some big payments with the many homes and float planes, etc... expecting that the gravy train would last . Meg Stapeton said the world was her oyster.
ReplyDeleteHey Sarah, how is that oyster thing working for ya?
Don't forget about the hush money payments. Lotsa money every month......
DeleteMany homes? One in AZ and one in AK, right?
DeleteA cabin and a Rainbow lodge share (Todd 'hot ass' Palin, who she says she is married, you know, have you seen Todd, his ass?)
DeleteOnly her attorney's know the full extent of their secret properties and holdings. I betcha they have a lot to hide from Uncle Sam and anyone that may one day sue them.
at least 2 in AK plus 1 in AZ.
DeleteWith her PAC exposed as a one of the 5 worst PAC's, spending more money than they take in, and only spending 5% contributions to candidates, maybe Sarah isn't having such a good day.
DeleteTina fey is the topper most of the popper most. What a gal. You're so jealous sarah, it's been almost 7 years to let it go you crazy Fuck. Grow fucking up.
ReplyDeleteSister sarah thought she was being portrayed as an idiot. I wonder how long it took to figure that one out. Sarah talk to us
ReplyDeleteWe really want to meet you, let's talk.
It obviously took 6 years for Sarah to figure it out. Or, the people writing the book might have contacted her for a comment regarding Tina Fey's portrayal of her, and that's all that she could think of to say. The "joke" about Fey making so much money that she should pay for Palins' kids braces is a lame joke. What Fey got were awards and recognition for political satire-- an Emmy. The NBC videos of Tina's appearance set records for viewers. (Excuse me, Sarah, but Tina didn't get any extra money for people watching videos of SNL. And the Emmy is a statue, not a check).
DeleteIn December 2009, Entertainment Weekly put her impersonation on its end-of-the-decade "best-of" list, writing, "Fey's freakishly spot-on SNL impersonation of the wannabe VP (and her ability to strike a balance between comedy and cruelty) made for truly transcendent television. What Fey got was recognition for her comedy, which is great for her reputation but won't pay for braces.
Palin has plenty of money. Let her pay for the kids' braces.
THe "joke" about the braces is an old one; she said it before and we've even discussed it here on IM>
DeleteThe Immoral Minority: Sarah Palin talks new show, suggests ...

If anything it made her more popular for a bit. My brother actually liked Sarah Palin the way that people of my generation liked the Church Lady.
ReplyDelete(Until he went to see her at a book signing and La Palin diva-ed out and turned people away.
Did you make your brother scrub out the shower on Saturday nights after his 'private time' with his picture of Sarah?
DeleteAnonymous6:24 PM:
DeleteThat was a VERY rude question! Shame on you!
THe "Church Lady" was a fictitious character.
DeleteSarah Palin is a very real, very mean and evil person who will harm others and not even think twice.
I question your brother's intelligence.
as does anyone that read 5:29's post
Delete5:29PM that is....just noticed both posts were 5:29 but 12 hours apart. ;)
DeleteSaturday Night Live did not make Sarah Palin look stupid. Sarah Palin WAS stupid. All that SNL did was make people aware of just how stupid she was when the Republicans weren't disguising her as a qualified candidate for VP. The photo on this thread, of Tina as Sarah and Amy as Katie Couric was one of the funniest skits because both women spoke the actual words that were said by Palin and Couric. Palin gave poor responses to Couric's questions. If Sarah couldn't answer a few questions from Katie Couric, how in the world could she possible be considered as someone qualified to be a heartbeat away from a 72 year old man with a history of recurring cancer?
ReplyDeletePalin still hasn't gotten over it. She must not ever look in the mirror, watch videos of her speeches, or listen to how she sounds. She sounds like an idiot. Her most recent awful performance was the speech that she gave in Denver. People wondered if she was drunk. drugged or both. She went silent for long, painful moments. She lost her place and rambled incoherently. That's stupid.
It's even more stupid for Sarah to blame everyone else for her own failings. She does not know anything about history, politics, geography, or anything else. She doesn't even try to learn. Don't make me tell you the story of the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere. Don't make me tell you which one of the Korea's (North or South) is our friend. Don't make me tell you what Queen Elizabeth actually does. (No, she does not run the government).
Sarah proves the famous saying by Abraham Lincoln, that you can fool some of the people some of the time. She did in Alaska. Somehow she got elected as governor where she pulled all kinds of tricks to amp up her favorable ratings by gaming the system, flooding comment boxes with the glowing comments from friends (and Lou Sarah and Louise Heath, too, also). Palin is still trying to promote herself, but more people see through the ghost written comments and her lame videos. Pay per view and then post the same thing on You Tube. Screw the donors. When is the last time that we saw Sarah on Fox?
For the record, Sarah, (Hi! We know that you lurk here), for the record, SNL has been on the air for years, making fun of politicians and celebrities, using humor and satire. Tina Fey received awards and Emmys for her performance of you as the best example of political satire. And for the record, you have enough money to pay for your kids braces. Seriously, Sarah, the only kid that you would be paying for is Piper. Trig is too young for braces, and Todd's Native Health Care Program should cover what you are too cheap to pay for. Grow up and get over it. You lost 6 years ago, and all of your bitching won't make you look any smarter than you looked back then when you flunked the interview test. Please just go somewhere far away from the internet and live your life vibrantly.

Deletevery well said
Saturday Night Live did not make Sarah Palin look stupid.
DeleteAbsolutely. How pathetic that she has no clue. It goes to show how out of touch she is.
beautifully said
DeleteAnonymous 4:34, appreciate your great post.
DeleteYes we know Sarah reads most every post about her here at IM (not the other posts, it is all about her 24-7). Let's hop in the wayback machine, where where history sometimes becomes the future!
DeleteI know Sarah loves to tell this story from 2006, well at least it is all about her anyway.
"By Andrew Halcro
On the morning of April 18, 2006, I sat in the Hotel Captain Cook coffee shop with Sarah Palin comparing campaign trail notes. Yes, there was a time when Palin and I could hold a civil conversation, long before she began calling me "dumbass" in her emails... but I digress.
While talking about the trials and tribulations of the trail, she offered up a personal thought that still rings in my ears.
"Andrew, I watch you at these debates with no notes, no papers and yet when asked questions you spout off facts, figures and policies and I'm amazed. But then I look out into the audience and I ask myself, does any of this really matter?""
http://www.anchoragepress.com/news/article_8a8cda5c-9d0f-11e0-870b-001cc4c03286.html
This anecdote illustrates that she was wrong then and is wrong today. Luckily for the world there were enough people that saw through her empty word salads and jingoistic dog whistles. Wondering out loud in September of 2008 things like "She can't really be that unprepared can she?" and "How in the world was this dolt elected Governor?", not to mention "WHAT THE HELL WAS MCCAIN THINKING? DID HE EVEN TALK TO THIS IDIOT? OMG AND HE'S HAD CANCER TOO! WTF!"
Sarah offers all she can then and now. She does it with the notes on her palm and buzzwords rehearsed with her speech writers and blog ghost writers. Whatever the RWNJ phrase of the month is, well that's what she will be offering, also, too. It's an empty unfulfilling and cheap substitute for education and knowledge and experience. Sarah actually has next to none of any of these attributes. That is one reason why she can't reason or think ahead. Whether or not it matters, she can't even if she wanted to. That is one reason why she makes some of the mistakes she does. She is so incurious and misinformed that she has no real grasp of the depths of her inadequacies.
It is no surprise that she is now exposed in another major tactical mistake. Thinking she could either intimidate SNL, or use it as a springboard to shape her image, this is yet another in her long string of her ignorant mistakes and miscalculations. She frequently underestimates her opponents, and always over estimates her own abilities and position.
Now it is August 2014, and Sarah favorite Joe Miller has lost again. She is reduced to pay per view blogging and working on her long delayed fitness and cook books. Long gone are her network interviews, and only a few of the fools still think she will ever run for any office again.
Looking back to the observation she offered Andrew Halcro (see above in this comment if you already forgot Sarah!) let me ask Sarah what she thinks now about the question she asked Andrew: "Andrew, I watch you at these debates with no notes, no papers and yet when asked questions you spout off facts, figures and policies and I'm amazed. But then I look out into the audience and I ask myself, does any of this really matter?"
What do you say Sarah? Does any of that really matter? Or are you still stuck in the muck because you can't do what really matters to progress yourself.
"Let me state my reasons in plain English without any sports analogies: I'm resigning because I feel I can be a more effective leader operating from the sidelines."
Be sure and keep us updated on how that effective leading continues to work for you. Isn't it about time for your five year resignation speech followup facebook post "Even dead fish can still float" or whatever title RAM thinks will raise more money for your children's braces or whatnot.
I remember watching the Charlie Gibson interview and my jaw dropping. I had never seen such an inarticulate, uninformed politician! It was amateur hour! All SNL did was bring her inanities to a larger audience.
DeleteI remember when Katie graciously gave her a second chance on the CBS Evening News but this time McCain was sitting next to her. Poor lil baby had to have "daddy" there in case she screwed up again! What a maroon!
Delete$arah can pipe down about being treated unfairly by Couric.Katie was MORE than fair.
Things to note:
DeleteSarah Palin ONLY knew Nicolas Sarkozy BECAUSE OF his wife, Carla Bruni -
who was on CELEBRITY and GOSSIP pages which Sarah Palin ACTUALLY read.
Now,
Sarah Palin did NOT know that the Prime Minister was "in charge", not the Queen.
This is after almost every single AMerican could tell you that TONY BLAIR was Britain's PM during the Iraq war!
Did she even know who Tony Blair was??
WHy should she?
He wasn't in the CELEBRITY MAGAZINES!!
THIS is the woman that COULD HAVE BEEN the Vice President of the United STATES!!
Sarah also proved this quote by Abraham Lincoln true:
Delete"What kills a skunk is the publicity it gives itself."
Sarah's kids all need to say a prayer of thanks that she didn't hear the phrase Dunning Kruger somewhere and think, "Gosh, that sounds like a neat name for the next baby."
ReplyDeletelol
DeleteHilarious, and oh so true!
DeleteTINA FEY, YOU ARE THE GREATEST! Thank you for your amazing talent and your bravery. (Especially as your parents are Republicans…or so I read in one of your interviews.)
ReplyDeletePalin: If I ran into Tina Fey again today, I would say: "You need to at least pay for my kids' braces
ReplyDeleteNotice how Sarah Palin didn't say Tina Fey should pay for her children's education? That would be funny and sad too. We all know that education and Sarah Palin's children don't go hand in hand.
Sarah Palin owes the US a refund for her grifting, her fake credentials, and just a general screwing over.
DeleteIt would be difficult to caluclate the tens of millions or more that Sarah Palin owes for all the fraud. She was rarely as she claimed. She needs to pay back every penny. The lives that are harmed or gone are another matter. How do you put a sum on that?
DeleteShe has no talent and she hires cheap labor that can't produce anything worth buying. Where will she earn the money for restitution after her assets are gone? Making license plates at Rikers Bay?
Imagine the number of lives she's destroyed.
DeletePalin: I know that they portrayed me as an idiot, and I hated that, and I wanted to come on the show and counter some of that.
ReplyDeleteAn idiot? An idiot? Alaskans thought they were awfully nice to you, you retarded moron.
No one remembers Sarah for being smart. No one remembers Sarah for being a good sport and taking part in the skit. What people do remember is that Amy Poehler was 9 months pregnant and had already left the show, returning at the last minute to the the hilarious Alaska rap. Palin looked silly clapping along to the skit that she was supposed to do.
DeleteI frankly think Palin is quite aware sometimes as to how truly ignorant she is about the world. She pushes hard against those things she is afraid of and in true high school mean girl fashion creates drama that in her mind deflects from her inadequacies. I also think Saturday Night Live was the pinnacle of her success. She really seemed to thrive in that environment. She knows we all know how inept she really is and she was even willing to sell that on SNL. Going back to Alaska and “playing” governor again was simply too boring after the election. Being a new mom again to a special needs child and a grandma just didn’t measure up to those few months on the campaign trail.
ReplyDeleteforget about TriG. Sarah Palin was never a new mom to him. She ignored him from the moment she purchased him.
DeleteAnon 6:07: Didn't you mean being a grandma to two kids? That special needs child was not born from her loins. Witness all the data collected on the right side of IM's blog under "Important Immoral Minority posts", and you will see incontrovertible proof.
DeleteMurkyWaters
if you count all of Bristol's kids, and Willow's kid...she's a grandmother many times over.
DeleteIf you are a 44 year old woman who is running for Vice President you had better fucking know the difference between North and South Korea, WW1 and 2 and most of US history. Mrs. Palin. stop complaining about being made to look like an idiot because your are in fact one huge fucking idiot with only the ability to flaunt a fake set of tits and talk like you're trying to seduce half the male population going for you.
ReplyDeleteYour country needs you to run, Sarah, run! You gave us so much pleasure back in 2008; we could hardly believe our luck as we laughed 'til we cried.
ReplyDeletego tina, go, do not send $$$$$ for those braces, send cheerios, apparently they can't afford to buy the kid any, cheap skate skank
ReplyDeleteThank you Tina Fey! You portrayed Sarah Palin beautifully and earned every dime you made!
ReplyDeleteThe woman is an idiot and you and Katie Couric helped bring that fact to the forefront and to the nation! Thank god she and McCain lost the race!
The important thing SNL did was put Palin's idiocy on full display for an audience of young voters who maybe weren't paying any real attention to politics, or conventional news channels. So maybe it did make a difference.
ReplyDeleteThere is NO QUESTION at all that Tina Fey had a HUGE impact on exposing Sarah's ignorance and stupidity to the world. And YES, Sarah, you were mocked with your own words, and mannerisms, which made it all the more priceless to those of us who saw right through you and were fortified in our viewing by SNL's treatment of you. And YES, it made a HUGE, ENORMOUS difference in determining that you were unfit for any sort of national office. Tiny and Katie practically single handedly took you OUT of the running for anyone who had a brain and some semblance of geography and history and politics. You were busted on live TV and shown for the vapid fool that you are. So no amount of throwing shade on SNL will have us believe otherwise. All we have to do is watch these two things, the real interview and the fake one and it's clear who is the stupid ass.

I can report that the You Tube videos of SNL skits of Sarah made their way around the world. A friend of ours worked as a reporter in London, and she told us that everyone passed around the videos, laughing at Palin. No, they would not have watched the debate or the interviews, but when the SNL videos went international, Sarah was an international laughing stock.
DeleteNailed it big time 7:46!! tyvm.
DeleteWe now know she reads her and I so hope she reads your comment. It won't sink in but at least she'll know WHY she's so opposed by the majority of thinking Americans who actually DO love their country.

DeleteI love this>>>."an international laughing stock"
We need to remind her of this achievement every chance we get! LOL
Tina and Katie.
DeleteTwo women.
Women took her down because she wasn't able to play the sexism card.
On the Palin article, I loved the last line...
ReplyDelete"A message left with SarahPAC asking about the endorsed candidates' struggles was not returned."
Bwahahaha!
Palin: "I know that they portrayed me as an idiot, and I hated that, and I wanted to come on the show and counter some of that."
ReplyDeleteSure $arah, after you bombed on national TV with atrocities like
"What newspapers and magazines do you read to keep informed"?
ALL OF 'EM, ANY of 'EM!
"Can you name a Supreme court decision other than Roe V Wade that you disagree with"
UH, I'LL FIND YOU SOME AND BRING'em TO YA
"Do you agree with the Bush Doctrine"
IN WHAT RESPECT CHARLIE!
-----------------------------
Palin said during her debate with Biden that she would expand her Constitutional powers without authorization.
So much for her "Constitutional conservative credibility!!!!!
In response to a question on the role of the Vice-President, Palin actually blurted out a tossed word salad that was contrary to law, and incredibly stupid, to whit:
"Of course, we know what a Vice-President does, and that's not only preside over the Senate, we'll take that position very seriously also, I'm thankful that the Constitution would allow a bit more authority given to the Vice-President also if that Vice-President so chose to exert it in working with the Senate and making sure that we are supportive of the President's policies and making sure too that our President understands what our strengths are. John McCain and I have had good conversations about where I would lead with his agenda"
---------------
Do you remember this atrocity? She hadn't even been elected, and she's was trying to one-up Cheney, by getting power and roles that are extra-constitutional!
That was just a tiny hint of the uncontrollable sociopathic vicious harpy she would have become if she ever became VP
so so scary - should have been in that Horror Film called Game Change...the scariest movie I ever saw.
DeleteIsn't she the same yapper who has been complaining so bitterly of overreach and tyranny in the Executive Branch???
DeleteWho was her "we'll". McCain or the Toad? Putting herself on the same level as her running mate was nearly as laughable as her maybe thinking she could bring hubby to work like she could back in her minnow pond.
I think that last comment of hers is even more frightening in retrospect. At the time, it was pretty humorous, but she was dead serious, and had they gotten in, she and Todd would have moved right into the White House, Bristol would have been married to Levi in the Rose Garden, and McCain would be long gone (of course, after term one, Palin might have finally been in jail, and Hillary would have been elected in 2012...ah, looking back!)
Delete"John McCain and I have had good conversations about where I would lead with his agenda"
DeleteSure, you betcha. Game Change documented that Palin and McCain hardly ever saw each other, and that McCain was afraid she would turn on him.
4:27 am Had McCain and Palin been elected - the McCains would have moved into the White House and the Palins into the VP home that is provided that position.
DeleteThe McCains would NEVER had let them in the White House!!!! Makes me laugh thinking about it.
Cindy would only do photo ops in the White House and the old man has a bordello he would prefer. The McCains would have only used it as a prop.
DeleteThe funniest part was when McMansion pulled her out of the spotlight by a babbling brook with a baseball hat on to "practice" her "smartness" on index cards. The more he kept her away, the more people expected to see of her brilliance, and all they got was "idiot"
DeleteTina Fey is an American hero (unlike Chris Kyle) who deserves the Medal of Honor.
ReplyDeleteAMEN! Saw her interviewed on "the Actor's Studio" and she blew me away! When she was a child, some madman with a knife slashed her face while she was playing in her yard. She said it changed her, she never purposely tried to hide it in school and was bullied, but stood up to them.
DeleteAnyway, she's a brilliant woman with a keen eye for business and acting. She deserves high props, a child of immigrants who made her dream happen. "Bossypants" is on my must read list.
HAPPY NATIONAL SILLY PALIN DAY!

DeleteSarah Palin should feel really lucky that Tina Fey was chosen to represent her because Tina is far more beautiful than SP could ever pretend to be. She has Class...something SP never had. She has style...something SP never had and she has brains...ditto above.

I'd be in favor of a little hand-out from Tina if it came with the promise that $arah would then write an even larger check to the President for pretending that she was more of an expert on EVERYTHING than he and used him as a foil for her pathology nearly every single frigging day of the past six long years.

We told you don't fuck with the Sarah Palin Curse.
Hey, Sarah Palin, did you call Joe Miller to congratulate him on his loss? Oh, your Prop 1 lost too? Your last minute endorsement killed his chances, BWAHAHAHAHAHA. Who is your next victim?
ReplyDeleteMost likely she called Joe to ask for her $5k back because she doesn't understand how GIVING a charitable contribution actually works.
DeleteJoe Miller losing? GOOD :-)
DeleteProp 1 losing? Bad :-(
8:26 am Do we know for sure that she actually gave him $5,000. Upon a review of her records not that long ago, it was proven she has provided very little in political donations.
DeleteShe assuredly is the kiss of the death w/her endorsements.
A note to all of the trolls and the Palin fans: When Tina Fey portrayed Sarah Palin on SNL, she did not bring in any of the kids. They were never mentioned. Sarah used Trig and the rest of the family as her props, selling herself as a family values candidate. SNL stuck to the things that Palin said-- or exaggerated them. They were famous for that "I can see Russia from my house." I'm surprised that Sarah didn't make a point of saying that wasn't what she said. What SNL did was to exaggerate what Sarah did and expand on it. If the audience didn't approve of the material, SNL would have learned it at the dress rehearsal that's done before the live show, and they would have cut the skit. The audience laughed because they thought it was funny, too. SNL got their highest ratings when Tina spoofed Sarah. The audience doesn't laugh if it isn't funny. They laughed!
ReplyDeleteEach skit had a real message in there. When Tina and Amy played Sarah and Hillary at a joint news conference, Amy snarled at the Palin character saying something about being the first woman president. "No, not THAT woman!" The other skit that caught the truth of Sarah Palin was when Tina as Sarah "went rogue," turning to the camera and selling the Palin for President 2012 t-shirts on the shopping channel (along with John and Cindy McCain). She warned people not to wear them until after the election. Her ambition, using that VP nomination as a stepping stone must have been obvious even before the election. They were right, but Sarah never did run for president. For her, it's really about the money, the attention and the celebrity without the hard work. In fact, Tina came back one last time to spoof Sarah having her own TV all Sarah all the time channel. What a surprise!
For those that haven't seen it:
DeleteTina Fey Debuts "The Sarah Palin Network" On SNL
Tina Fey reprised her impression of Sarah Palin on "Saturday Night Live" while hosting the NBC sketch comedy show Saturday night. It was Fey's first performance as the former Alaska governor since her iconic impressions during the 2008 presidential campaign when Palin was the Republican vice presidential candidate.
Fey appeared as Palin in a sketch introducing a mock "Sarah Palin Network," satirizing Palin's entry into media. Palin recently launched the program "Real American Stories" on Fox News Channel and will soon begin production on "Sarah Palin's Alaska," an eight-part series for TLC.
Appearing as Palin in a leather jacket with an American flag pin, Fey introduced a lineup of shows like "Tea Party Wheel of Fortune" (the puzzle read "Obamar is a terrist"), "Are You Smarter than a Half-Term Governor?" and "30 Main Street," a parody of her own "30 Rock."
Other fake shows included "Hey Journalist, I Gotcha," in which Palin re-edited interviews to make it look like her interviewers — like CBS' Katie Couric — were "woefully unprepared." Also touted was a spinoff starring husband Todd Palin (played on "SNL" by cast member Jason Sudeikis) as a renegade police officer transferred from Alaska to New York.
http://videos.mediaite.com/video/Tina-Fey-As-Sarah-Palin-On-SNL
"Republican VP candidate and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin told Larry Kudlow less than two months ago that she can't answer whether or not she would accept the VP offer because she has no idea what the Vice President does."
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin if you are applying for an important job that only one person in the entire United States of America can hold and you want America to vote for you, don't cha think you need to know ahead of time what the job is? Its like dropping out of high school in your sophomore year and telling people you are qualified to be a brain surgeon. Being vice-president of the United States of America is not like being a lazy contestant on DWTS who gets fatter week after week, who doesn't put any effort into it because you feel entitled. Just putting on a gorilla costume doesn't get you through the door. America doesn't want a vice-president who wears false titties, licks her lips, rolls her tongue in and out while speaking like a baby. Being vice-president is not like being an airhead mayor or governor who depends on her husband sitting in the back of the room making decisions for her. Do you understand what America is saying? America doesn't want a vice-president whose qualifications is being Miss Wasilla and the hottest governor in the coldest state.
This is the best comment I have ever read here, including my own!
DeleteSarah Palin, you are the weakest link.

Go away you old, used-up skank.
In 2009 or so, Tina Fey did a remote interview with Oprah and said NOTHING bad about Mrs. Palin. In fact, she said that she thought that Palin was more attractive and glamorous than she was and that Palin had a star quality. I was upset by that segment which is why I remember it so well, although I believe Sarah did at one time have 'something' which she lost quickly and which was incredibly superficial.
ReplyDeleteEverything I needed to know about her I learned doing online research for nearly 3 days after her nomination, at which time I had formed a basic opinion which has not changed but been proven by her actions. Nothing has surprised me about her, but she's always been upsetting in her spewed ignorance, anger, and hatred in such a toxic mix.
I am not only surprised by her continued weight loss, drugged appearance and speech, but also her continued hair-brained, contrived understanding of practically anything that she proclaims to know but shows herself to be acutely lacking. She's a mess. Those who might care about her should stop this destruction, but I guess it will be played out in some ridiculous and awful way. Reap what you sow, Sarah.
WTF? Sarah Palin won't pay for her children's college education or for their braces
ReplyDeleteHer kids couldn't get into college, and I never saw one of them with braces. Since we met Piper and Willow at the prime ages for them, I'm assuming the one good thing Sarah and Todd did was endow them with straight teeth.
DeleteParticularly sad as wasn't Curtis Menard an orthodontist??? Once they killed him off, I guess there were no free braces....
DeleteInvisalign...
DeleteJust love the shit-eating grin on that idiotic lemur's face.
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin... speaking of not ready for prime-time! (She still isn't)
ReplyDeleteAnd you know - I keep saying it because it's TRUE:
all she had to do - and STILL all she has to do - is just figure out the difference between being strong a person and being a bitch.
She doesn't seem to know there's a difference.
Maybe she's simply not smart enough?

She must appreciate the irony that the GED is sponsored by the gubmint to help kids that didn't have the opportunity to finish school.
KEEP GUBMINT OUT OF OUR GED SCHOOLS
WHY SHOULD THE DAUGHTER OF THE GOOBERNER GO TO A FOUR YEAR HIGH SCHOOL WHEN SHE CAN GO FOR TWO YEARS, QUIT, GET HER GED AND THEN BECOME A SHAMPOO-OLOGIST?
Never saw her certificate, but I think they split it. Willow's stuck in poo and Sarah's stuck on Sham.
DeleteIs there any way to find out the date of this bio? Someone needs to archive this pretty fast. We know $arah reads this, we know they're going to have this updated fast. We need to keep proof of this 4 kids listing.
ReplyDeleteI looove Tina Fey. Smart and funny. Plus she comes from the town near me where MY kids are getting their braces: Upper Darby PA!
ReplyDeleteGo Tina!!!
Hometown Hero!!
looks current.
ReplyDeleteprint it
ReplyDeleteYep saw that. You know it's coming.
ReplyDelete8:19 Track is the oldest child and then Bristol. Track is supposedly not Todd's son - but, that of Curt Menard, deceased long ago.
ReplyDeleteI'm really surprised she still has a 30%+ approval rating in Alaska. Those poll folks didn't call me!!! Everyone I know up here cannot abide the fraud!
ReplyDeleteIt's already up. 1/2 wits like sarah are so effin' predictable. You know she'll be screeching like a cat with its tail caught in the garbage disposal over this. Like she's done so much with poor Trig, he's finally getting therapy after what being on this earth for six fucking years?? She's such a crappy mother.
ReplyDeleteBristol is the SECOND of FOUR......
ReplyDeleteThey are counting Track, not TriGger.
How long did it take for someone to get through that thick head that 'I know that they portrayed me as an idiot'? Which is not what occurred, but the damage control her silly people thought up for her.
ReplyDeleteA very long time, no doubt. NPD Queen and dim bulb that she is, she was no doubt giddy for a long time to get so much attention on such a popular show
DeleteThis is perfect for Sarah's date in Missouri. She won't have to rehash much detail of Trig's wild-ride-birth by Dr. Baldwin-Johnson. Dr. gets a break, thanks Dawson. Sarah can rile the crowd just focusing on him. It is how she likes to use her prop because she can really milk it. Heaven forbid she has to speak about the birth stories or any supposed facts. Like when he was born in Wasilla... when he was born in Anchorage. Justifying the wild ride, justifying the delivery and Dr. Baldwin-Johnson. Justifying why it took all these years to come up with the idea of theraphy. Jeeeze... she really needed these remarks by Dawson.
ReplyDeleteWTF was Dawson telling someone what is moral for them in England or anywhere else? He has a right to his opinion I suppose, but seems preachy. I know a very conservative Republican who thinks like Dawson when it comes to any disabled fetus or full grown child. But they would never say it in public.
6:41, Otto, first line says daughter of 2008 vp candidate, Trig was born by the time she was announced as the vp candidate...
ReplyDeleteWhere did Dawson post this? This is a good opportunity to go and juxtapose how poorly Tri-G is treated and how it night have been better were he not ever born and given to our Sarah!
ReplyDeleteAnswered my own question. Go over to mediate and help out people!!
ReplyDeletegeez,she wants Tina Fey to pay for her kid's braces? Isn't that socialism, Sarah? Oh, we forgot how brilliant you were, are, and always will be. Geez, isn't that short for Geezus, you know,the guy hanging on your neck next to the star of david air freshner?
ReplyDeleteSNL didn't portray you as a stupid bitch who single handedly sunk any chance McCain ever had at becoming President. They copied off of you. Maybe YOU should pay Tina for scaring the living daylights out of Alice.
You owe Tina Fey and Amy Poehler a debt of gratitude. While you're at it, thank Julienne Moore for not shredding you to pieces and going easy on you. But, like most ungrateful bitches, you'll never do it and wallow in lazy self pity. Oh dear, how time flies, isn't it time to wax Todd's balls?
No, Tina Fey owes her nothing. If that were a justifiable argument then Rich Little and Frank Gorshin would never have made any money; they'd just be passing it on to those they impersonated.
ReplyDeleteYes, Palin and McCain have only themselves to blame. Rather than pointing fingers at SNL, I'd say both of them pissing off David Letterman had a much more negative effect. He was relentless in his brand of criticism and has a much larger audience.
He didn't make stuff up either. Just pointed out their own petards and helped us laugh at them.
