Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) bristled during a Monday interview on NBC's "Today" show when she was pressed about her provocative comments about her son's arrest and post-traumatic stress disorder.
"You guys brought me here to talk about Iowa politics and the caucus tonight — not to talk about my kids," Palin said. "And that was a promise. But as things go in the world of media, you guys don't always keep your promises, evidently."
"It's a shame that our military personnel even have to wonder, if they have to question if they're respected anymore. It starts from the top," she said then. "The question, though, it comes from our own president, when they have to look at him and wonder, 'Do you know what we go through?'"
During her Monday "Today" interview, Palin said she wasn't blaming President Barack Obama with her comments.
"What did I say that is offensive?" she said after host Matt Lauer asked if she regretted what she said at the Trump rally.
"I don't regret any comment that I made because I didn't lay PTSD at the foot of the president," Palin added. "I did say, though — and suggested very adamantly — that there is much more that our commander in chief could do to prove that he respects our troops and let them do their job."
Palin further criticized the hosts for not having her exact quote.
"If you guys have a specific quote, it allows the media to be more credible," she said.
Matt Lauer then said that the Today Show had NEVER promised to avoid asking questions about Track's arrest or her comments on PTSD.
This was Palin's response:
Well, I was told that this interview is about the caucus tonight in Iowa. And right on, who will it be to put America back on the right track and restore constitutional government that we are lacking today and that we so need? And I said, "Right on, let me go talk about that. Sure."
Okay well let me just say that I take back all of my recent criticisms of the Today Show and Matt Lauer.
THIS is exactly the kind of interview that I was hoping for and did not expect to see.
Just watch Palin's face when they ask those questions about Track.
Update: Here is Palin on MSNBC this morning. (I guess she did not learn her lesson yet.)
"I can do and say whatever I want."
Please do, that always works out SO well for you.
Lou Sarah: Happy Cock Us Day
ReplyDeleteOr Happy Koch Us Day
DeleteLooks like Matt is serving up barbecued Palin for Koch Us Day!
DeleteGettin' hot, Sarah?
I can't WAIT to see her methed up drunking screech later today!!! Ho boy!! She will be bitching about the lamestream media puttin' words in her mouth and askin' about her family and you know they are so private-NOT!! Oh and then she will put out a screed on her shouty page and this interview has killed all the rest of any of 'em all of 'em!! Can we get a HAllalula!<--I don't know how to spell out that dumbass fucking word that she says.
DeleteWait for it. It will be EPIC, methed out vodka lace pure gold!!!
My first comment here when I heard the news of her Today Show interview was "relax"
DeleteReally, who couldn't see this coming from their back porch?
Good times. Youbetcha!
The icing on the cake will be if Trump disses Palin in Iowa and she goes rogue on him.
DeleteIf $arahSaysPayme had not inserted Track's arrest for domestic violence at a political rally during which endorsed Trump, no one in the media would have asked her that question.
DeleteSavannah Guthrie is a woman with courage. A real American patriot.
She's totally botoxed up. Face is stiff as a board.
ReplyDelete10cats.
And such greasy lips! Why? Can she not see where she is putting that stuff?
DeleteI so noticed that too - no upper lip movement. Her face look shelacked!
Deletehttp://www.today.com/video/sarah-palin-on-today-choosing-trump-and-her-comments-on-obama-and-ptsd-613319747665
ReplyDeleteDamn! Sarah Palin was promised not to ask about her kids so she flew commercial and got schlonged by Matt Lauer
ReplyDeleteSavannah Guthrie asked the big PTSD question.
DeleteBut Lauer said "we never made promises about the content of the interview" or something to that effect. Anyhoo, I'm thrilled that she got thoroughly humiliated, it showed just how she cannot think on here feet if she gets unexpected questions. It was about time the "lamestream" media really give her a hard time.
DeleteShe's an idiot if she didn't expect the question. She brought it up at her last public speech with The Donald. Oh, wait. We already knew that Lou Sarah is an idiot. And a liar. Bwahaha.
Delete6:15: Exactly
DeleteScratch is the one who brought the subject up in a public political forum
She probably talked with some low-level producer, who asked her to come talk about the Iowa caucuses. No one in a major news organization would promise not to raise other questions -- especially questions about what she'd said a week ago about how the president's disrespect of the military makes them feel so bad when they come back from battle. She said it -- it was fair game, and she should have been prepared to answer it. Or to have a quick response that would put it to rest, and then change the subject to how great Trump is.
DeleteHer brain simply can't jump from one topic to another fast enough. And her anger just overrides everything she says or does.
Maybe, possibly....... she might have been nervous because she went home to deal with track and Drs found he had no PTSD? She certainly isn't giving much info on a subject "near and dear" to her.
DeleteLMAo
DeleteHer face looks swollen. She must have had more "work" done on it.
ReplyDeleteIs she letting Bristol inject her face?
DeleteShe may be braver than I thought.
What a liar Sarah is! She tried to say that she didn't blame the President for Track's PTSD. But Sarah, you fool: it's on camera forever!
ReplyDeleteToo bad they didn't call her out on her LIES about Obama's military budgets or how it's the Republicans who aren't funding the VA adequately.
ReplyDeleteAlso too where was the elephant in the room question: WHAT GOV. PALIN ARE YOU DOING ABOUT YOUR SON"S PTSD?!?!
(sorry for the shouting .... frustration)
Don't ask mamas grizzly about her prop! Wait ... That would have been a thoughtful question. She brought his problems to the International stage in the first place
Delete@5:44 AM -- Sorry to have to deflate your balloon -- Track does NOT have military-related PTSD. Any trauma he suffers came from the actions of Mommie Dearest, not the military. He's sub-par in the intelligence category and appears to be just an angry, mean person with substance abuse problems on top of all that.
DeleteIndeed Anon 5:44
DeleteI don't get why just shooting her a couple of facts about vet funding, then making her defend her bs would be so hard? She'd become completely incoherent---as usual.
$arah said Track had "some PTSD". Kind of like her own “something like” melanoma. "Anyway, a surgeon dug it out and everything was okay."
DeleteKind of like being "a little pregnant"?
DeleteThe problem, angela, is that Matt doesn't want to deal with a babbling, incoherent Sarah Palin in full meltdown on live national teevee while his viewers are having their breakfast.
DeleteIt's unseemly; and undoubtedly, some of the blowout would land on him. Ewww.
Sarah Palin, defender of a document that, much like the Bible, she's never bothered to read, only autograph.
ReplyDeleteHey Matt go ahead and ask Sarah about prostitute Shailey Tripp and her pimp Todd's human sex trafficking business.
ReplyDeleteI have a few other comments I will add later, but first, Who still says, "Right On"? I am about her age, and I don't think I've said that since oh, junior high or high school.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, what politician says, "Right on" when asked a question about a major political event?
I know, Sarah does, and she's not a politician, but why do they try to pretend that she is? Gah!
she's in a dyslexic bubble
DeleteI'm sure crazy uncle donnie will make it all better.
ReplyDeleteWow, she does not handle disappointment well.
ReplyDeleteSo, maybe she should stop BEING a disappointment, and then people will stop asking her about it? Just a thought.
Boo Hoo HOO, Boopsie!
ReplyDeleteGot'cha questions. Um, you brought it up in the first place. You gave public comment before anybody asked, you don't have it both ways grandmaw!
DeleteKatie Couric was in on it.
DeleteMatt ask Sarah Palin why is she in Iowa when her son is suicidal and was arrested for domestic violence in Wasilla?
ReplyDeleteNo. He let Savannah do it.
DeleteI read on Twitter that they went to a cow commercial which is not shown on the above link. Her face looks really pudgy and puffy. Not attractive in the least!
ReplyDeleteNow I wish I had paid attention after. All that clanky, sparkly jewelry was distracting. Then there was that screechy voice, the shrug of the shoulder as if to say, I don't believe what I am saying. Always entertaining.
DeleteShe really does look like a two-bit whore.
DeleteOh man, that butt-ugly capey thing she had on and bigass jewelry. She looked sooooo washed out in that beige number and with no lipstick color, just the bit of greasy sheen that she's been going for. She doesn't get that she looks like a man and has very thin lips when they don't get helped by some color. She must have thought she looked very sophisticated, but she once again looked outdated and like she was trying to hard to be fashionable. And she looked like a guy.
DeleteInterpretation of and by Herself, Scary Palin the paper thin skinned liar and embellisher,extraordinaire!
ReplyDeleteWtf! I am special ! dammit! Take me serious ,you baboon! You have finally been exposed you bitch!
I am loving to watch you burn baby burn slowly!
You earned it!
What a great way to start the day! Woohoo!!
ReplyDeleteWhy is Lou Sarah in Iowa when her son is fuc_ed up in Wasilla?
ReplyDeleteBecause her son can't afford Lou Sarah to babysit him and nurse him back to health.
Maybe he refuses to see her...
Delete7:16, if he refuses to see her he should get the hell out of her house
DeleteBwahahaha!!! OMG, she totally fucked up the interview! I normally turn off the volume because I can't stand her nails on chalkboard voice, but I'm glad I didn't this time. It was worth it, she was squirming like the worm she is. I bet she is totally pissed off now :-)
ReplyDeleteBet she tries to blame this cluster f--k on Nicole Wallace for not vetting her properly... all those "got-ya" questions. Sarah has a degree in "communications"? I sure would like to see that diploma...
DeleteAnd she went into shock and just started yammering and was breathless. This was too good. So glad I didn't miss it!
DeleteI say, I say ... too much botox!
ReplyDeleteHer new name can be Guv'nor bloaty face.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Extremely distracting. My mind was, "WTH has she done to herself now?"
DeleteShe was so skinny a couple months ago. Someone must have told her that if she planned on being seen in public again she had to put on some weight so she didn't look like a meth mom. Add to that the fillers and other work on her face.
DeleteShe has a smirky mouth that barely moves when she talks, but when she gets work done she actually looks like a ventriloquist.
Gawd how unprofessional. This interview showed her true colors.
ReplyDeleteSo unprofessional! Loved it.

Sarah Palin flips out on 'Today' over PTSD questions
Sarah Palin stopped by “Today” Monday to stump for her beloved Donald Trump in the Iowa caucus.
It did not end well.
The one-time vice presidential candidate flipped out on live TV as soon as the interview went off script — circling back to bizarre campaign trail comments she made about her son’s PTSD.

ReplyDeleteA dignity shawl for solemn and modest occasions?

PAC funds for new clothes are all going to Bristol's 'work' wardrobe. Sarah has to recycle.
DeleteDignity?
DeleteThat's funny right there!
Imagine a washed up former "politician" claiming that the media doesn't always keep their promises! Irony much, Sarah? She must really be angling for a position in a Trump administration! If only that PAC money can last until next year! Ha!
ReplyDeleteThe fourth estate should never make promises! That's the problem today! Obviously they didn't here and good for MSNBC in this instance...I haven't been too happy with them for the last few years.
Deleteerr, promises to hide things! and should always be able to ask for clarification.
DeleteI predict $arah and Trumps "friendship" will be over before the voting ends.
DeleteA W K W A R D
ReplyDeleteLol, per Jim Morrison, aka Mr. MoJo Rising: This is the end, my only friend, the end..
ReplyDeleteThis is your last lap, you simple-minded hag.
Someone should ask her what she means when she constantly says constitutional government
ReplyDeleteI could have sworn the first time she said "respriration" instead of the 'restoration of constitution', which she said at least 4 times!
DeleteSome of the people in the background are smirking snarkily.
ReplyDeleteI can't bear to watch it twice. I'll take your word for it. How The Fonald thinks her remark about his shaky Christianity will help him is beyond me.
DeleteI noticed that! LOL!
DeleteThat as pretty funny of her..who just published a book in her name of scripture, who supported Cruz because of his fantastic knowledge of God, to now say it's no one's place to judge another's religion? And in the next breath she wants the US military to wipe ISIS off he face of the Earth. Oh RAM, you were' great, but at least she occasionally made sense when you were writing her screeds.
Delete6:50
Delete$arah speak has always been deranged
I think my favorite part is that under her name it doesn't say, "Former Gov of Alaska" or "Former Vice President candidate". It just says "Trump Supporter". Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThanks for pointing that out.
DeleteThat's GREAT news.
It should read "Trumpeter" with a little "s" right before the T.
DeleteI think NBC is done with screech finally, Savannah couldn't close it out fast enough
ReplyDeleteNBC probably had a longer segment planned but got a cue to go to commercial.
DeleteHere was your quote, $arahBitch:
ReplyDelete“I can talk personally about this, I guess it’s kind of the elephant in the room,” Palin said. “My son like so many others, they come back a bit different, they come back hardened, they come back wondering if there is that respect for what it is that their fellow soldiers and airmen and every other member of the military so sacrificially have given to this country. And that starts from the top. It’s a shame that our military personnel even have to wonder, if they have to question, if they’re respected anymore. It starts from the top. The question though that comes from our own president where they have to look at him and wonder, do you know what we go through? Do you know what we’re trying to do to secure America and to secure the freedoms that have been bequeathed us?"
“I can certainly relate with other families who kind of feel these ramifications of some PTSD and some of the woundedness that our soldiers do return with,” Palin continued. “And it makes me realize more than ever it is now or never for the sake of Americas finest that we have that commander in chief that will respect them and honor them.”
---------------
To quote you x-tian daighter, "Go Fuck Yourself."
"...some of the woundedness that our soldiers do return with."
DeletePalin should be question on live television about her routine slaughter of the English language.
"Christianly Godliest"?
ReplyDeleteGood Goddly the woman is an ass. And told two lies in 5 minutes.
Milded
Only two? More like a lie a second with that one.
Delete"made manifest, restoration, restore, our will/god's will, judge, he who has..." All dog whistles that give me the creeps since I was brought up in a very fundamental pentecostal church. Although I'm recovered I can still recognize them. She disgusts me!
DeleteAnd, coming from the woman who is one of the 'most' ungodly in America!
DeleteShe does not live her supposed faith - she lies - is a fraud - is unethical - doesn't work - doesn't like to work - takes other people's money and lives off it - said she birthed that poor child that lives with her or in Bristol's house, when she didn't - screwed around on her husband while married - brought Track into the world as Todd's child when he actually is the son of Curt Menard - lives the lie she actually has a marriage (where is Todd?), etc.
I'm sure we are going to learn more and more untruths she has pushed as time moves along!
What about the people whom she's been paying off to keep their mouths shut? She can't keep paying them forever! Did she and Todd commit murder (of the nurse)? Did Todd kill Curt Menard when his airplane crashed in Alaska? (Supposedly by putting water in his gasoline that Curt used for his plane!).
Neither Todd nor Sarah has admitted their part in running a house of prostitution in Anchorage (with Todd actually using the sexual services of Shailey Tripp as his prostitute). Shailey published a book "Boys Will be Boys" that admits to all of it - with facts and proof. The house of ill repute was also used by politicians (during the McCain run that she and he lost), the Anchorage Police and Anchorage FBI according to Shailey Tripp. None of her facts have ever been proven otherwise and the Palins never sued her as to the statements made in her book! It's a good read too!
Note too that Bristol named her son (Levi's kid), Tripp, spelled exactly the same as Shailey "Tripp"! She could have dropped one of the 'p's' and there would never have been the connection!
Sarah and Todd Palin are monsters - both individually and as a couple and whether married or not!
I love the smell of popcorn and schadenfreude in the morning...
ReplyDeleteI love the smell of a Palin Fail in the morning. Goes great with my first cuppa.

Before the interview went off the rails, Palin said she believes Trump will win the caucus.
DeleteShe also brushed off a question about Trump’s religious devotion, saying she hopes voters “aren’t trying to find the most Christian-y, godliest candidate out there, because, you know, who are we to judge one another’s levels of faith — our Christian quotient, if you will.”
Look at her face.

Because there are none, yourself included, $arah?
So Sarah Palin explained to the world that if you want Sarah Palin to appear on your show, you have to make promises not to ask about certain things that are in the news, specifically her suicidal son she abandoned in Wasilla so she can be with Trump in Iowa.
ReplyDeleteShe thinks she is still on FOX news.
DeleteNot only are her speeches recycled bumper sticker slogans, her answers in an interview are. Does she know that you can change the order of words to make whole new sentences?
ReplyDeleteMildred
What's a sentence, Mildred?
DeleteCareful, Mildred, we don't want to confuse her even more!
DeleteOh Mildred! I am so very happy! Today is a family member's birthday and I got the gift! I love it!

DeleteTrump will bring back a constitutional gov't. Meanwhile. Obama is a Constitutional scholar. What a dingbat.

ReplyDeleteI wonder if the Hotel knows she borrowed their bedspread to wear to the interview.
ReplyDeleteChuckTX
Lol! :-)
DeleteLevi's tent.
DeleteHa! She must be going for the sultry "just rolled out of bed" look.
DeleteI don't think she rolls out of bed. I think she hangs upside down in the corner.
DeleteGreat comment, Chuck!
DeleteWasn't she just complaining on her FB page about how we need more "refreshingly unscripted interviews" in this campaign season and we need to stop using "poll-tested rehearsed memes" that are so frustrating (which is rich, coming from bumper-sticker-Barbie). So she gets one unscripted question about a statement she made during a campaign endorsement speech, and she can't handle it. Instead she acts like a child and whines "you promised not to ask me about that." So, which is it, Sarah. Do you want candid, unscripted interviews or not?
ReplyDeleteBingo!
DeleteRemember - she has NEVER wanted unscripted interviews. She has always wanted the subject matter and questions prior to going in - so that she can have her answers rehearsed and memorized.
DeleteShe got caught again! This hasn't changed since she ran w/John McCain where he finally did all the answering and made her basically shut the fuck up! Is it any wonder they lost to President Obama and Joe Biden?
....and why she's never been and never will be on Sunday morning political shows.
DeleteI didn't think it was a great interview. Sarah got upset and they backed off. They let lies about Obama 1) not supporting the troups, 2) not going in an eradicating ISIS like we know our military can do, about 2) not funding our troops go unanswered - and even unquestioned. They didn't hold her feet to the fire. Lucy
ReplyDeleteThey never do. They're entertainers, not journalists. But the funny thing is -- Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyers, both comedians, DO ask the difficult questions, and DO follow up. Too bad they're only on late at night with diminished audiences......
DeleteDon't forget Bill Maher! He's really has gone after her again of late!
DeleteSarah Palin would never appear on the shows of Bill Maher, Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyers. Can you imagine? I'm sure they'd be professional, but the questions would be direct and well thought out beforehand. And, they would not give them to her before the show so that she could prepare her responses!
I can only wish watching someone take the woman down on some TV channel in our country!
So funny! She said something sanctimonious like, paraphrased "I don't want to talk about my FAMILY"
ReplyDeleteNo, her 'kids.' You know, the mid-twenty somethings who are making such good wholesome choices with their lives. Must be tough to have three kids old enough to have college degrees and careers behaving like trash. No wonder she can't stand to stay home.
DeleteBombastic! Comes to mind. Thanks Sarah. Good job!
ReplyDeleteWink,wink.
P.s (she doesn't know what the word means.)
wah ha ha terrible interview. What did Sarah the Salad Shooter say? She never answers any question directly and just throws made up phrases out there. Her grasping at straws because she can never answer any questions straightforward or honestly was pathetic but fun to watch her squirmmish.

Not to long ago Trump sent a private jet to Wasilla to fly Sarah Palin to Iowa to endorse Trump.
ReplyDeleteThis weekend Sarah Palin flew coach in a commercial airliner with transfers like she's riding a bus to campaign for Trump in Iowa.

Someone probably told her it doesn't look good to send out letters begging for money to travel supporting Trump, while flying on Trumps private plane.

DeleteSarah Palin Denies Blaming Obama for Son's PTSD in Heated Today Interview: 'What Did I Say That Was Offensive?'
http://www.people.com/article/sarah-palin-donald-trump-obama-ptsd-son-today-show
Well, as usual, nothing that jingle-brained nincompoop says contributes squat to the political discourse, so... about her looks.
ReplyDeleteWhat is with the large, cumbersome blankie? Everyone else, including the people in the background, looks neat and tidy.
She likes black and tan as a color combination. Why? It is a difficult look for anyone, and she is no exception. Her face looks muddy and sallow.
When she had her expensive (but in retrospect, vastly underpaid) makeup artist and stylist in 2008, her makeup and clothing colors and tones were as flattering as possible. Now, for someone as vain and ambitious as she is, she looks downright drab. Most women, given the opportunity, would have learned a great deal about how to look their best, but it all just rolled right off of her.
Also too,Tundradunce thinks she is working her way back into the big time. That ugly jutting jawed sneer was very obvious.
She will be darting around the fringes of Power Town right up until the election, presenting a more pathetic sight than any social climber trying to shimmy her way from street corner to high society.
Vivian Ward she ain't! :)
DeleteI agree. Whoever is doing her make-up palette is doing her no favors. (Thanks, whoever it is.)
DeleteI noticed her chest pumping rapidly as Savannah asked her about Track's PTSD. She can't help show her contempt when she feels victimized.
DeleteAnd that's the whole ting. Always victimized, when she could take the high road and answer honestly and intelligently. OMG what am I saying...it's Palin! hahahahaha
DeleteI enjoy watching the video. Nothing goes right for that retard
ReplyDeleteScarah wants the president to use the military so they can get more PTSD. She is the epitome of cross purposes.
ReplyDeleteShe can get it cheaper on Amazon. Free shipping, too.
DeleteThe Denali Dumbfuck should thank her lucky stars that she wasn't asked what newspapers she reads.
ReplyDeleteDenali Dumbfuck. I'm dying here.
DeleteNancy French I want you to write something on Barstool's blog about how upset Barstool is about how I got cold cocked on NBC
ReplyDeleteYOU READ IT HERE FIRST AT IMMORAL MINORITY
Ha!
DeleteOh, it's coming...
DeleteStop being mean at my mom, Savannah, you big poopy head!
DeleteDon'cha know you can't interview stupid? Sarah throws a hissy fit on the Today show because they asked her why she said (in a campaign speech) it was Obama's fault that her Alcoholic son beat the bejesus out of his girlfriend..
ReplyDeleteThat interview was a thing of beauty. And to think Sarah flew coach (from Minnesota to Iowa anyway) because she thought they might ask her a question about SarahPac.
ReplyDeleteThe Today show is not FOX news and they don't tell you in advance what they are going to ask or what they won't ask. When you agree to appear, they ask you real questions.
Sarah is not very quick on her feet, but we all knew that already. I bet she gets on her Facebook page and screams in all CAPS how unfair the media is for asking her a question about something she said.
She flying her unaccountability flag rilly rilly high. Hateful c**t.
ReplyDeleteSeeing these comments makes me feel good about a Republican victory in November!!!
ReplyDelete7:02--just here to try to troll things up... LOL
DeleteHer comments regarding vets were intended as political in order to characterize the president as disengaged. No facts, no specifics, only general potshots based upon her personal feelings and observations. The media continues to validate her by soliciting her opinions.
ReplyDeleteDid she say "respiration of our constitution"?
ReplyDeleteWouldn't doubt it, but I am not listened to her again -- it took time off my life sitting through it once.
DeleteI haven't watched the Today show in years, I much prefer CBS & Charlie Rose, but I have some new respect for Today after this! (Although they should have had the clip ready to show her because she tried to lie her way out of it!)
ReplyDeleteToo right! But maybe Savannah popped the question unexpectedly, surprising Matt as well as SP who slithered out of owning up to the quote, for without the video who can remember what she said exactly, certainly not her peeps.
DeleteI stopped watching it myself and started again because I refuse to watch Joe Scarborough anymore. Matt Lauer has changed for the better is a big way is all I can say.
DeleteShe needs to be not only skewered, but held over the fire till she is more than done. Time for the media to actually do their jobs and expose the skank for what she is.
ReplyDeleteToo little too late? Sure, but exposing corruption for what it is must be done anyway. Any of it, all of it...
Right off the bat in the interview she commits a Palinism by referring to a "respiration of constitutional government." It kind of makes sense if you believe the constitution is on life support and needs oxygen. I think she actually meant "restoration of constitutional government." But whatever.
ReplyDeleteIt was interesting to see someone in the media, surprisingly Matt Lauer, push back against Sarah Palin’s default claim of media bias. The question was fair, and it was not a question about her kids. Accusing the media of attacking her children is Palin 101. Sarah Palin doesn’t want reality mixing in with her fantasy of All American Christiany conservative who is fighting for the Constitution and family values.
ReplyDeletePalin did blame Obama for her son’s arrest, and for PTSD. Here is what Sarah Palin said while endorsing Trump, “It starts from the top, the question though it comes from our own president when they have to look at him and wonder, do you know what we go through, do you know what we’re trying to do to secure America and to secure the freedoms that have been bequeathed us? So when my own son is going through what he goes through coming back, I can certainly relate with other families who feel these ramifications of some PTSD and some of the woundedness that our soldiers do return with.”
What happened on NBC’s Today was a classic Sarah Palin train wreck. Instead of touting her candidate on caucus day, the interview was all about Palin. Judging from Lauer’s reaction to Palin’s accusation of bias, the Alaska quitter might have torched her bridge with the Today show.
Caucus day is not off to a good start for Donald Trump as his highest profile surrogate went nutter on national television.

I knew I didn't need to watch the show this morning and boost their ratings. It was a known fact that Sarah Palin would screw it up in some manner and once again, she did!
ReplyDeleteThe woman has no common sense whatsoever! And, she has a very difficult time containing her anger!
Can you even fathom what it is like living with her? She has got to be a nightmare in the confines of her home on the dead lake in Wasilla!
Is there any wonder why her older kids have turned out so badly? And, where is Todd - did he run from the hills - are they divorced - appears he got the hell out of dodge and isn't carrying her purse any longer.
My recommendation is for her to stay in Wasilla! She's no longer a media star - a practicing Christian - a politician - a good wife - or a good mother!
Americans and Alaskans are sooooo sick and tired of her! She is an embarrassment to our country and the majority of Americans only view her as a joke!
...Palin seemed under the impression that she was allowed to dictate what the hosts asked her about. Hosts Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie weren’t having it.
ReplyDeletePalin, who often claims the media is against her by asking her questions she doesn’t know the answers to, got off to a rocky start almost immediately, when the hosts challenged her on several issues that made both Trump and Palin look like raging hypocrites. At one point, a frustrated Palin asked the hosts “Who are we to judge one another’s level of Christian faith?” – the scalding steam of irony coming from a person who once spent a great deal of time trying to suggest President Obama was a secret Muslim was hot enough to melt steel.
...As usual, Palin uses her own victim-complex serve as a security blanket she can hide under when questions get to tough. Palin has repeatedly blamed President Obama for hurting the troops. That’s a serious accusation and a fair one for reporters to question. The criticisms themselves may be pathetic, but her refusal to tolerate any pushback on them is even more embarrassing.
If Trump had hoped Palin would be a big asset to his campaign, so far it hasn’t appeared that way. At almost every appearance, Palin’s performance has been a trainwreck. On the TODAY show, she was at least able to string two sentences together without devolving into a hopeless word salad, but it’s pretty sad that this is considered a victory for her. She still came across looking angry, bitter, and clueless.

Wow, just saw it. You guys promised not to bring that subject up... I never said anything about... Show me a quote because you're the journalists... and so on
ReplyDeleteShe just went on and on. Matt and Savannah just ad to sit there and wait it out as Sarah went on and on and lost all ability to sort of think straight.
I'd love to know what Trump REALLY thought when he watched "the rogue" being interviewed?
ReplyDeleteI've thought the same. I can't for the life of me see how he would be pleased.
DeleteThe first time she mentioned the constitution it sounded like she said 'resperation' and towards the end made sure to say 'restoration'. She definitely gave herself away when she said she was *promised* not to talk about her kids. This means she tries to control the content of an interview. They should have asked what kind of help is Track getting.
ReplyDeleteAccording to Sarah, the reason McCain lost in 2008 is because she was being shackled by the GOP:
ReplyDeleteLater on "Today," Palin told Willie Geist she's happy to be back in presidential politics without the "shackles" she apparently had while running with John McCain.
"You've never really had shackles though, have you, governor?" Geist asked.
"Well, they tried eight years ago," she said, referring to her own party.
"And that was kind of part of the problem, why things didn't end up going so well."
Trump has said he wouldn't rule out Palin as his VP.

"Respiration of constitutional..." She also blames Obama for cutting budgets, seeming not to realize that the Congress has the purse strings. Guess she missed the sequester policy that the Tparty has blessed us with. She was offensive to veterans.
ReplyDeleteThe real Sarah Palin hit the Today Show this morning.
ReplyDeleteAint she lovely?
Her face is bloated. Wow, what a great interview! I bet Katie Couric is re-watching this with a big bag of popcorn and laughing heartily.
ReplyDeleteHow he HELL did she ever get elected as Governor of Alaska ???????
ReplyDeleteAs much as I dislike Palin and have no use for politically, I’m terribly uncomfortable about questions concerning her son. Her daughter made herself a public person by going on Dancing with the Stars so she’s fair game but I can’t find anywhere her son has done the same. So as much as I hate to agree with Palin on anything, gotta take her side with this one. Kids should be off limits no matter what, even when it comes to questioning the parents credibility.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, kids???? They're fucked up adults. Second, Sarah makes them part of the conversation. Are you that blind that you don't see that?
DeleteNothing has been off limits for sarah so nothing should be off limits about screech. What goes around,has now come around.
Delete7:35 did you miss the fact that she made the issue fair game when she basically blamed Obama for it during her Trump endorsement speech. And to be clear, she wasn't asked about Track so much as what she herself implied during said speech.
Delete735-You posted this same crap word-for-word on Gawker and were told to go away. Once Track decided to beat up his girlfriend he became fair game. Go away.
DeleteShe is the one who brought her son into the political conversation. She is the one who pointed out her son and ascribed the cause of his actions to the President. So, yes, that is a valid topic of discussion.
DeleteAlso, "kid"? He is closer to 30 than 20 (26). He is not a fresh-faced young lad just trying to make his way to adulthood. He is a grown man and his latest activities were not private, but are part of the public record.
He personally might not be seeking publicity, but he needs to tell his mother to leave him out of her attacks on the President.
He also, himself, should probably not choose to (apparently) commit criminal acts which are in fact public records. That responsibility is his and his alone.
It was Palin herself who first mentioned Track.
DeleteThey were asking her about public comments she made about her son, comments about an issue that went beyond him and his case. I feel bad for Track (not because of the domestic violence, but because his mother can't keep her big mouth shut).
DeleteTrack Palin committed a crime and that's public record. Sarah Palin should have said "no comment, please give my son and my family privacy" in the first place. Then none of this would have happened and she would be in her rights to tell the Today show to go to hell.
Come on..SHE inserted him into the conversation when she was on stage wallowing in the Trump endorsement. And he is no 'kid.' He's 27. They only asked her about what she had said..they never asked her about how he is doing; about the beating up of his girlfriend, about his threat to kill himself. When Bush's girls were out drinking it was reported on. Are we supposed to pretend that Sarah's kids are all stable, working and educated, instead of the divorced, children out of wedlock, barely literate, drunks that they are? Because she was Governor for two years? Please.
DeleteThe question wasn't about her son, it was about her reference to the President and PTSD.
DeleteTrack is no child.
DeleteShe opened the door once she defensively attacked ! She was using her usual MO to attempt a deflection due to her Son's abusive behavior!
DeleteHer son is fair game for his criminal behavior, same as the rest of us.
But she mentioned Track as the "elephant in the room" during her Trump endorsement. She could have let that alone, but she didn't. So it's perfectly fair to ask her, one week later, what her comments meant. She couldn't defend them, and clearly couldn't remember what she herself had actually said.
DeleteBristol has put herself out there numerous times, and is fair game. Track is fair game because he was arrested for being drunk, punching his girlfriend in the face, and having a firearm while drunk. That's the public record -- completely valid to ask about.
Since there is nothing politically relevant in that word salad screed, I'd like to say that my bathrobe is much nicer than the Motel 6 shower curtain she was wearing.
ReplyDeleteEnglish is not my native language. Is there some subtle nuance to the word 'unscripted' that I am not aware of? So that when Mrs. Palin says 'refreshingly unscripted' it can mean 'I get to know the questions beforehand'?
ReplyDeleteEnglish isn't Mrs. Palin's native language either, apparently.
DeleteIndeed. Black is white. Crimes are not crimes 'until the lawyer says I can't do it.' Wrong is right. Religion is convenient. Booze and drugs and kids are 'vibrant living.' War is hell, but only for the Palin spawn; the rest of the kids should be bombing ISIS to smithereens.
DeleteIn her mind, I think it means "refreshingly easy and undemanding."
DeleteI wonder what she said to them after the interview? She may have made it worse and they might report it.....
ReplyDeleteI hope she said, "I'm never doing another interview with you, EVER!"
DeleteAnd then they said, "Great! See ya."
I hope there was a camera running.
DeleteShe brought discussion of her son's charges into public discussion when SHE mentioned it publicly in a speech when she was brought to Iowa to endorse Trump.
ReplyDeleteI love that already there are a # of reports online about how she so screwed up.
ReplyDeleteI despise that woman and the way she talks about the President! He doesn't respect our military?? Really!! Fuck you Sarah!!
ReplyDeleteAnd notice how she really takes credit for Cruz's win in Texas! He was just "a little blip" before she arrived to support him. She is nauseating.
Can you imagine this scenario: Trump pays Palin to endorse him, pulling the rug out from under Ted Cruz? I can. We already know that Palin will do pretty much anything for fame or fortune. And Trump is a genius when it comes to manipulation. Think about it. Trump knows he has to woo the religious right, but commits a major faux pas during his Liberty University address yesterday, exposing his ignorance of the Bible by referring to “Two Corinthians.” The media was all over his bullshit like flies to dung, and it becomes headline news.
ReplyDeleteHe doesn’t want this story to get legs, so he has to do something to shift the narrative—quickly. In comes Sarah Palin, stage left. The darling of Christian conservatives is written into the script STAT. Without missing a beat, he manipulated the storyline to one that is all about him and his pal Palin who likes to pray. A lot. His pathetically shallow grasp of religion is all but forgotten the very next day. Now that religious base that he so desperately needs is starry eyed again. And lets not forget what Trump has to say about about the Bible, which he likes to compare to other books. He expounds: “The Bible blows them away. There’s nothing like it, the Bible.” So profound. Spoken like a true bullshitter. I mean 'believer'.

Who dresses her? Obi wan Kenobi?
ReplyDeleteAt least we know Sarah Palin won't be appearing on the Today Show anytime soon.
ReplyDeletePlus she's getting hammered in the comments section on the sites I look at: Raw Story, Mediate, Media Matters, Wonkette. Teach her nasty ass. And yes, she did blame the president for his treatment of Track! Ha. What a beeotch.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why she got so upset. It's not like they asked her "What magazines do you like to read?".
ReplyDeleteI wonder how Ted Cruz will react to being referred to as a tiny speck in Texas, until AIP Palin rushed in and made him a household name?
ReplyDeleteI LOVED Matt's very first question to Palin, "Did you hitch yourself to the right candidate?" Priceless.
ReplyDeleteCheck out the Daily Mail! 'Palin's fury on display!'
