Did Sarah Palin call Ellen Degeneres a man?

Did you catch that at around the 54 second mark?

"Yeah people were really, really weird about that one because, yeah Ellen Degeneres had posted the same image and she became PETA's woman of the year, or man of the year, or whatever they named her. Person of the year. And I became the devil for doing the same thing."

Hey lady if you thought you got hate mail over Trig standing on the dog, you just wait until the Ellen Degeneres fans and LGBT supporters get a load of this!

Damn this woman is stupid.

(For those who are interested here is the entire interview.)

Sarah Palin takes four minutes to tell her subscribers that she does not know what she thinks about term limits.

I was actually looking for something else when I stumbled across this episode of "Ask Me Anything" from the Sarah Palin Channel.

Essentially it demonstrates the kind of meandering, undisciplined manner in which Palin actually ponders questions that she does not understand, when there is no script in front of her to keep her focused.

You might think that she would do a little research, and have an actual response, before turning on the cameras. But nope, that is how the Leftists respond to questions, not crazy self described "constitutional conservatives."

My favorite part is that she is so disinterested in the topic that in the last moments she actually pulls out her cell phone and starts checking it while she is still talking.

And remember, people are paying her to provide this kind of content.

Now compare that to her recent appearance on Fox News yesterday when she was still pushing for John Boehner to be replaced.

Can you believe she said "balls to the walls?" So classy.

Did you see her bounce up and smile from ear to ear when Stuart Varney suggests that she won her debate against PETA?

Sickening.

Especially after she doubled down on the "At least Trig didn't eat the dog" remark.

Sarah Palin on Sean Hannity last night ratchets up her battle with PETA. Update!

The first thing I have to point out is that Palin is put together well.

She has her hair styled right, her makeup applied professionally, and she even manages to appear sane.

This may seem like a small thing, but for Palin it's quite the accomplishment these days. (However it should be pointed out that she talks incredibly fast, is at times somewhat manic, and may have partaken of some chemical assistance to help her along.)

The interview starts off with Hannity presenting Palin as the victim of liberal attacks and then asks her what she makes of it all.

"Well yeah the ridiculousness of it all Sean. Background though, PETA has been attacking me for years, and those of my ilk. They've been attacking me because they know that I eat, therefore I hunt. And you know I tell my kids that many of their meals will be..coming wrapped in fur not cellophane. And that we eat organic, you just gotta shoot it first. So you know they've never been a big fan. And then when I was governor...uh...aggressive predator control in order to allow many of our herds to thrive and see good return on our herds...uh..they didn't like that either and they were brutal back then too. But this one? I have to admit even though it seems like I've seen it all, this one kind of took me aback. "

Hannity then suggests that PETA will not like the pictures he posts of fish that he has caught, which is a fairly ridiculous statement. He then quotes PETA, including their dig at Palin (Which I enjoyed hearing on Fox News.), and suggests that PETA want animals to have constitutional rights.

Palin's response:

"Well I guess they don't know where their leather belts and leather chairs and...um...their crocodile purses, many of the elites that are part of that leftists PETA group, where those come from. No..I...I..love animals. I specifically...um...I'm in love with our dog Jill Haddassah, who is a service dog for our youngest son. Trained in Iowa at the Puppy Jake Foundation, we love her...uh...we'd never abuse her, so I think what we've done is proven the irrelevance of PETA, and many on the left, because the double standards they apply...so hypocritical. Here Ellen DeGeneres was PETA's woman of the year and she posted the same image. A child standing, using as a footstool, her dog. the little dog."

Little dog?

"And...uh..yeah there were outcries of 'oohs' and 'awws' and 'how beautiful Ellen' that was, but Sarah Palin heck no. And also their man of the year in 2014 was Mayor De Blasio who, my goodness, he killed a groundhog didn't he? (Actually he accidentally dropped it and it died a week later. Not exactly murder.) And yet still you know they...they..they praised him."

At this point Hannity tells Palin he is putting "all these pictures up" because, you know, this is totally unrehearsed.

Hannity then says that for the record this is a dog "specially trained for your son."

"Oh absolutely, and the Puppy Jake Foundation they're so good, they train these dogs to help disabled vets, that's their main purpose here. We were privileged to, having been supporters of the foundation, been able to adopt the dog that's been trained for a child with special needs. Yes there is a bond there, he's part..uh..Trig of course needing and knowing the love of this dog. Teaching him so much. And Jill yes she's a great part of our family. We're very, very happy to have her and nobody would ever hurt her."

Okay so to be clear Palin is saying that this dog was specially trained to work with special needs children even though the Puppy Jake Foundation trains dogs for injured vets, not children.  And that the people of PETA are hypocrites because they chose Ellen DeGeneres as their "Woman of the Year" even though she posted a similar picture featuring a small child on a large dog, and Mayor De Blasio once accidentally dropped a groundhog.

Is that about right?

Man she just cannot stop digging this hole can she?

Later in this same interview Palin also endorsed Louis Gohmert to take over Boehner's position as House Speaker. 

Thank you for the support @SarahPalinUSA! http://t.co/LBBhrQUVDu

Well why wouldn't she? After all there are not many politicians out there that make her feel smart by comparison.

Update: Holy crap, she was on the Today Show this morning as well and more unhinged than ever:  

"I thought, absolutely hypocritical double standard, as usual, applied to, I don't know, perhaps a constitutional conservative,'' Palin told Savannah Guthrie on Tuesday. 

In an initial statement to NBC News on Monday, Palin referred to President Barack Obama, who admitted he tried dog meat as a 10-year-old in Indonesia, when she wrote that "at least Trig didn't eat the dog." She stood by those comments on Tuesday. 

 "Oh heck no, that was the best line in the post that I wrote,'' she said after Savannah asked if it was a cheap shot. "It was the kickoff line."

And the hole gets deeper.

PETA responds to Sarah Palin attacking them after they admonished her for allowing Trig to use the family dog for a step stool.

This is actually at the end of a Politico story covering Palin's Facebook rant, but definitely deserving of its own post:

PETA President Ingrid Newkirk responded on Saturday saying, “PETA simply believes that people shouldn’t step on dogs.” 

“Palin’s Facebook response shows us that she knows PETA about as well as she knows geography.” 

That's awesome. 

As of now Palin's temper tantrum is receiving quite a bit of coverage, from news sites and blogs like the Daily Mail, New York Daily News, Washington Examiner,  the Washington Post, as well as others.

Most of the coverage is pretty straightforward with nobody either condoning or condemning her statements, but the comments are brutal.

I have to say however that I have not seen the pro-Palin people as amped up and working hard to cover for Granny the Gaffe Machine like this in quite some time.

She might even get a few extra pennies in SarahPAC over this.

Of course everybody else hates her more than ever, but seriously why would that bother her?

Sarah Palin finally responds to the criticism for letting Trig stand on a dog. Gee, took long enough.

Courtesy of the PESTA's (Pathetic Ethically Stunted Teabagger Agitator) Facebook page:  

Dear PETA, 

Chill. At least Trig didn’t eat the dog. 

Hey, by the way, remember your “Woman of the Year”, Ellen DeGeneres? Did you get all wee-wee’d up when she posted this sweet picture? (Warning, takes you to the Sea O' Pee.)Hypocritical, much? 

Did you go as crazy when your heroic Man-of-Your-Lifetime, Barack Obama, revealed he actually enjoyed eating dead dog meat? (The exact quote appearing in "Dreams from my Father" was, "With Lolo, I learned how to eat small green chili peppers raw with dinner (plenty of rice), and, away from the dinner table, I was introduced to dog meat (tough), snake meat (tougher), and roasted grasshopper (crunchy)." Doesn't really sound like he enjoyed it.)

Aren’t you the double-standard radicals always opposing Alaska’s Iditarod – the Last Great Race honoring dogs who are born to run in wide open spaces, while some of your pets “thrive” in a concrete jungle where they’re allowed outdoors to breathe and pee maybe once a day? (http://iditarod.com/ http://www.irondog.org/) 

(Actually 142 dogs have perished in the Iditarod since the beginning of the race. But thanks to the intervention of PETA and other animal rights groups the dogs are cared for much better and the death rate is almost nonexistent now.)

Aren’t you the same herd that opposes our commercial fishing jobs, claiming I encourage slaying and consuming wild, organic healthy protein sources called “fish”? (I do.) 

Aren’t you the same anti-beef screamers blogging hate from your comfy leather office chairs, wrapped in your fashionable leather belts above your kickin’ new leather pumps you bought because your celebrity idols (who sport fur and crocodile purses) grinned in a tabloid wearing the exact same Louboutins exiting sleek cowhide covered limo seats on their way to some liberal fundraiser shindig at some sushi bar that features poor dead smelly roe (that I used to strip from our Bristol Bay-caught fish, and in a Dillingham cannery I packed those castoff fish eggs for you while laughing with co-workers about the suckers paying absurdly high prices to party with the throw away parts of our wild seafood)? I believe you call those discarded funky eggs “caviar”.  (You know I may be reading too much into this, but I don't think she likes PETA very much.)


Yeah, you’re real credible on this, PETA. A shame, because I’ll bet we agree on what I hope is the true meaning of your mission – respecting God’s creation and critters. 

Our pets, including Trig’s best buddy Jill Hadassah, are loved, spoiled and cared for more than some people care for their fellow man whose politics may not mesh with nonsensical liberally failed ways or don’t fit your flighty standards. (WTF?)

Jill is a precious part of our world. So is Trig.

Precious Trig, preciously choking the crap out of another precious Palin family pet.

- Sarah Palin

Oooh, somebody's in a snit.

You know perhaps Palin missed the part where a whole shit ton (My daughter's phrase.) of her fan base called her out for animal cruelty as well.

I deem this her Puppy-Libel response.

And I kind of think it will have a similar result.

We are not the only ones who believe that the story of Seamus Romney's ordeal is very damaging to Mitt Romney's electability. So does Newt.

Clearly Gingrich realizes that if he can give this story legs he might actually have a chance to snatch the nomination out of Romney s' grasp. I don't know if that is accurate, but I certainly hope that if he does he remembers to give Palin that VP slot.

Trust me Newt, she will do for your campaign EXACTLY what she did for McCain's campaign, and he says it was the best decision he EVER made! Would I steer you wrong?

You can read here that there are now THREE versions of this story circulating out there. (Four if you count believe that the original had Romney going through a car wash with Seamus trapped in his shit stained dog kennel.)

Mitt Romney shrugs off questions about cruel and inhumane treatment of his dog Seamus during a 12 hour family trip in 1983.

That is one of the most disingenuous laughs I have ever heard. And horribly inappropriate in this context.

So Romney is now claiming that the dog carrier was "completely airtight?" How in the hell does a dog breathe in an "airtight" kennel?

And he left the poor animal in there for twelve hours?

I also call bullshit on the idea that the dog climbed up onto the roof of the car in order to get into the kennel on his own. How would he even manage that?

I could not help notice that Romney seemed relatively unconcerned that he had also broken the law by doing this. You know regular human laws are for the little people, and do not pertain to Romney.

By the way I also learned that Romney's story may in fact be MUCH worse than previously thought.

Check this out.

The original story claimed that Mitt Romney strapped his dog to the roof of the car in a crate and drove the family 12-hours to Canada. Along the way, the poor, scared dog (Seamus) had a bad case of diarrhea (some say in fear) that ran down the side of the car. Romney stopped the car at a gas station, the story went, and hosed down the poor beast and car before getting back on the road. 

But is that what REALLY happened? 

In today's article, Swidey reveals that in the first version of the story he'd heard from a Romney "family friend," Mitt Romney did not hose down the dog but instead "drove the station wagon right through a car wash" with poor Seamus strapped atop! 

Knowing he had a remarkable story in his hands, Swidey says, he worked diligently to ensure he had every detail correct. He spoke to Tagg Romney, one of the Romney children who was in the car at the time. "Far from being tone-deaf, Tagg realized as I dug deeper that the story could cause his father grief," Swidey wrote. 

And the story changed.

Is it really possible that he drove his dog though a car wash? An animal that he claims was "a good friend of the family?"

Just when you thought Mitt Romney could not appear less compassionate.

I would not let this guy water my houseplants, much less run my country.

Mitt Romney on Peta, "Not happy with me because my dog likes fresh air." Did he really say that?

Like I mentioned before this might just turn out to be the story that actually causes Mitt Romeny the most difficulty moving forward.

Politicians are expected to change their positions based on whose vote they are trying to win. But EVERYBODY, both conservatives and liberals, love animals.

So strapping your beloved family pet to the top of a car, driving him 12 hours down a freeway while he craps in fear all over your car, and then claiming that the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals dislikes you because your dog likes fresh air, comes off as being just this side of inhuman.

And for a man who is comes off as wooden and lacking in compassion even on a good day, THIS paints a rather unfortunate portrait of who you are as a human being.

Not to mention what kind of President you would make if you were to win this election.

I shudder at the very thought.
