John Wooden passed away yesterday, which has elicited an amazing outpouring of support and kind remembrances from sports fans, celebrities, and every day people all across the country.
And of course from one person whose category is a little difficult to ascertain, Sarah Palin. (I don't know "charlatan", "cult leader", "grifter"? Which one do you think fits best?)
Sister Sarah tweeted:
Coach John Wooden, irreplaceable in American life. God bless your soul. You shall be missed dearly, and we shall remember your lessons.
"Remember his lessons"? Coach Wooden's three key precepts were as follows:
Help others.
Drink deeply from good books.
Make friendship a fine art.
Which one of those do we think best describes Sarah Palin?
Sarah's Facebook ghostwriter posts the following:
Ever since we were kids, Todd and I have looked at Coach John Wooden as a true hero. His quotes plastered our bulletin boards, school notebooks, and locker doors. Realizing this mutual admiration of Coach Wooden when Todd and I first met about 30 years ago was a sure sign that we were on the same page.
Do you smell that kids? Yep that has the very distinctive aroma of Sarah Palin brand bullshit.
