Salon lists the Sarah Palin "apology" as one of the "5 worst Right Wing moments of the week."

Courtesy of Salon:  

Clamoring to stay relevant, Sarah Palin hit the airwaves this week for some startlingly incisive commentary on Obama’s speech outlining his strategy to fight ISIS Wednesday night. Just kidding. She went on Hannity to bash the president some more for playing golf that one time rather than immediately declaring war. It only stands to reason that Palin would be asked to comment on geopolitics. She can, after all, see Russia from her house. But Palin had something really important to say. She feels she owes us all an apology. Great, we feel that way, too. For dumbing down every debate in America (not single-handedly, but she really helped), for using made-up words like “refudiate,” for advocating policies that decimate the earth, and for that brawl her idiot familygot involved in over the weekend. We have a list. Contact us, Sarah. 

But no, she wants to apologize because John “Bomb Them to Smithereens” McCain is not president. And, we guess, although she did not say it exactly, she blames herself for destroying his chances. “

As I watched the speech last night, Sean,” she said, “the thought going through my mind is, ‘I owe America a global apology. Because John McCain, through all of this, John McCain should be our president.’” 

A global apology. Global. Wonder what the hell she means by that.

You know with all of the coverage over the brawl, this lunacy kind of got lost in the mix.

Any other time I am pretty sure that this would have received a lot more coverage, and have been mocked more efficiently than has been the case this last week.

And speaking of videos that did not receive an adequate amount of attention, Wonkette finally took notice of Palin's two "surprise" Jewish visitors from last month.

Here was their take:

“So Todd just comes beepin’ up — be-boppin’ on up stairs, right? Um…interrupted me a little bit…and he says, ‘Hey, Sarah, there’s these two really nice guys from New Jersey, they’re in the dri–.’ C’mere, Todd!” 

And then Todd shows up, and he is rockin’ Transitions lenses and a black mock turtleneck. Todd says that he saw these two dudes out near the Palin’s fence, and it seemed like they wanted to come in.

Right about here is where Wonkette shares the video, that all of you have seen already, followed by some rather hilarious transcribin'. And then they close the post with this:

So there you have it: the First Dude let in two sorta socially awkward and completely starstruck visitors, because they showed up, and the Sarah Palin Channel filmed the whole thing and then put it up online. It was as weird as it sounds. 

Yes it is, it is exactly as weird as it sounds.

You know the great thing about the national coverage the Throwdown at the Hoedown is receiving, you know besides the fact that a giant brawl featuring almost the entire Palin clan is receiving national attention, is the fact that the increased interest means that these older videos and interviews are now receiving more attention as well.

It also means that people who did not want to talk, are now willing to talk, but more on that later.

Yes, I am the office and I will be professional to the clients, but while they are in their sessions, and I am alone in my office, it is Palin stories non-stop. I deserve it.

    1. Daisydem, what she looks like is what the kids nowadays call "cracked out", I believe.

      Nobody could look at those eyes and tell me there isn't some major pharmaceutical "enhancement" going on.

      Off topic but surely relevant:
      Gryphen, do you have any clue what's going on with Shailey? That whole "kidnapped/sexually assaulted" thing just...vanished. And it's not like people weren't asking.

      I know you two aren't as close as you once were, and I think even then you weren't THAT close, but do you have any info about her current situation? It just seems so unfair that the Palins could drive her out of Alaska, make her a pariah online so that it's hard to secure employment, etc...and now this latest thing, the kidnapping. There just was not enough said or explained after the fact. Why no arrests or suspects?

      I'm not putting the burden to produce info on you, of course. I'm just using this forum to put it out there. What the hell HAPPENED?

      (And no thank you to anyone who wants to leave a reply denigrating Shailey. Whatever you think of her possible eccentricities, Todd made a victim of her and did so for a prolonged period of time.)

  6. Shouldn't this be an excellent time to finally force journalists to consider: would this woman and her helpmates have had the tundra version of chutzpah to fake a pregnancy? Why yes. They would. The whole lot of them -- and the answer could not be more obvious. The time is right for the whole jig to be up, once and for all. Thank you once again Senator McCain for the single most reckless act in American elections history.

    Ooooweeee! Sounds good.

    Has anyone been talking about Sarah's run in with the National Guard chaplain in Kosovo? (You know, about a week before she quit.) Someone said something they shouldn't have. At least that was what Sarah thought. That's all been fairly well documented, and she practically had the AK Guard Command (Gov. Sean Parnell's future Lt. Governor?) kissing her feet about it.

    I've been wondered what that was all about for quite a while. The recent new reports about the Guard and the investigations reminded me that there are still some questions about who knew what when.

    RIP Army National Guard Sgt. James Bearup

      Chris Kyle, like Track type PTSD helper, was to take damaged vets to a luxury shooting range.

      Track Palin takes them out to get shitfaced drunk, hit on married women and engage in bloody violence.

      Maybe one day Track will have a movie made about his life like Chris Kyle. It is soon to be released about what a hero he is.

  13. The global thing is really scary! Can you imagine Sarah Palin involved in international politics -- she'll get everyone on the planet killed!!!

    I was surprised to come across coverage by the UK branch of the International Business Times. I don't really know anything about IBT but it did make me pause for a minute when the "global" thing was noted. Why an international business news organization would cover this brawl story is beyond me. And to make matters worse all they did was regurgitate the Palin "spin" story from Real Clear Politics -- the one where a "family friend" reveals that Willow's ex-boyfriend started the fight, Bristol is left-handed, and Sarah actually said "Don't you know my son is a vet".

    Its really comforting to know that Sarah and her brood are lying and embarrassing us on a world stage -- just
    what we need right now.

    I think Sarah thinks that her very old habit of changing the subject will work once again. No dice Sarah. No politico and their family to my knowledge ever got into a drunken brawl. This story is not going away no matter how much you try to change the subject.

    And because you and your family got into a drunken brawl, you better hope that 'channel' of your does well because the speaking fees, the traveling to stump for candidates and the SarahPac dollars are now toast.

    I remember when you quit on the people of Alaska and your spokeswomen Meg Stapleton said the world was your oyster. How's that oyster thing working out for ya Sarah?

    Hope and change are working out well for a lot of us. Especially the hope that things will change and you will become a mere footnote in history. I look forward to the day when they run a 'whatever happened to Sarah Palin' segment on your dumb ass.

    If one person -- just one -- will start talking it will snowball into an avalanche the size of that house on Dead Lake Lucille. Palin and her minions will be flattened -- forever.

    Now is the time, folks. Just step up to the plate and tell what you know, any one or more of you. If you are the first, you could also stand to make a small fortune if you talk to the right media about the right subject(s). Just remember though, your story has to be factual.

    A few days back, Palin jokingly apologized on FOX’s “Hannity” Show for costing John McCain the 2008 election, when in reality McCain would have probably lost by a larger margin to Barack Obama, if not for Palin.

    Norville: She should be so grateful to John McCain, nobody would know who she is, there would be no reality show for Bristol, there would be no moose hunting show on the Sportsman’s channel.

    So, should Palin be “so grateful” to John “I love Amnesty” McCain for putting her on the map?

    - should get lives, grow up, shut up, go away...

    "Gryphen"

    - doesnt live in reality, doesnt know her, doesnt know any of the people who actually KNOW her, tries to ruin people, is criminal, not a great father, a lying putz, judgmental, just ignorant, revels in ignorance, knows nothing

    IM blog

      Anita, the protagonist is named Stretch Hummer and he's a private investigator/undercover agent traveling the world's high stakes professional dogsled racing circuit with his faithful lead dog, Paddlefoot and his faithful Inuit companion Nanook. Of the North.

      Each episode will feature a different exotic racing location, a different exotic beautiful young woman and a different challenging mystery to solve, many of which will undoubtedly hold the future of the Free World in the balance.

      Stretch is a world-weary Grenada invasion combat vet with curable PTSD and incurable athlete's foot. He carries a Walther PPK .32 caliber plaid finish pistol in a thigh holster and his favorite drink is called a Seedless Grape: 1 part Gatorade, 1 part rubbing alcohol, 1 part wet vermouth and 2 drops of Zippo(tm) brand lighter fluid.

      He rides a 3 engined motorcycle modeled after Russ Collin's "Atchison, Topeka and Sante Fe" 70's era dragster. Just like his women, the bike is fast as hell, smokes badly and almost kills him every time he tries to ride her.
