Sarah Palin admits that she's a bitter clinger, and Louisiana Senate hopeful Rob Maness does not demonstrate good strip club etiquette.

So Wonkette is continuing to do their Sarah Palin Fartknocker schtick, despite threats from the Sarah Palin Channel about "borrowing" from their videos.

I found the one from today kind of "meh," but the videos they posted contained some hidden gems.

First up we have a video from way back when the Koch brothers were paying anybody even remotely connected to the Republican party to stump for Pat Roberts in Kansas.

As you probably remember Palin went and pretended to like people to touch her while handing out cold pancakes with a side of wilted word salad.

You know what it’s going to take for America to be saved, and that is, that Republican Party bein’ strong there. 

He’s pro-ANWR, pro-life, pro-gun, he — you got a lot of bitter clingers and wingers around here, don’t you? I’m proud to be with ‘em! 

Yep wilted. 

As you can see the person working the camera was clearly going through some kind of withdrawals and could not hold it steady to save their life. But hell it's just going up on the Sarah Palin Channel, so who really gives a shit?
The next video is my favorite, and it is from back when Palin traveled to Louisiana to find the one creature whose flesh was colder and more abrasive than her own.

Yeah now see if Maness had spent any time researching Palin's past interactions with those she has endorsed, he would know that she does not like to have the money handed directly to her.

She either wants it sent to SarahPAC directly (After it is laundered of course.) or stuffed surreptitiously into her g-string as befits her station as a political pole dancer.

And for that it is always best to use paper money, as coins tend to come loose as she is shaking her "thang" and that could not only put out an eye but also negatively impact her income.

And if you noticed she was not terribly pleased that he reached out to hug her either. Once again that is bad etiquette as everybody knows there is no sex in the Champagne Room. And let's face it, hugging is as close to actual sex with Sarah Palin that anybody really gets these days.

Sarah Palin continues that dopey endorsee thingy.

Things are getting down to wire in this election cycle so Palin is clearly trying to make sure that she gets her name out there as often as possible before news outlets shift their focus back to actual news.

So Yesterday Palin once again started beating her worn out drumset on behalf of Pat Roberts, currently fighting to retain his Senate seat in Kansas.

Of course unlike Rob Maness in Louisiana, Roberts actually has a shot here.

Here was her ghostwritten pitch:  

So what do you call an “independent” candidate who has donated thousands to Obama, Reid, and Hillary? An “independent” candidate who is pro-amnesty and supports Obamacare? You call that candidate a liberal Democrat. And that could explain why in Kansas “independent” candidate Greg Orman has won the support of the George Soros family. Greg Orman will attend a high dollar fundraiser not in Kansas, but in New York City hosted by Jonathan Soros who has donated over $3.7 million to liberal causes over the years. 

Kansas knows better – they know Pat Roberts. I travelled to Independence, Kansas, a few weeks ago to support Senator Roberts. In Independence they know a bit about what being independent means, and they know Greg Orman is far from it. He is beholden to liberal special interests and DC politicians like Harry Reid. I’m encouraged to see Senator Roberts rising in the polls as more and more Kansans tune into this race. Kansans, Pat Roberts has fought hard for you; send him back to the Senate to keep up that fight!

Wow! George Soros has spent over 3.7 million on liberal causes over a number of years? I think that the Koch brothers have already spent more than that just in Alaska.  (By the way if you want to learn just how silly it is to compare the spending of the Koch brothers to George Soros, you can start by clicking here.)

Palin then links to a video she pulled out from the murky depths of the Sarah Palin Channel, to show her support for Roberts, though oddly enough it ends up being all about her.

The video starts with Roberts calling Palin a "courageous grassroots Republican" and from there shows video of them  hugging with a voice over from Roberts, "Have you ever seen a Mama Grizzly dressed as a wildcat?"

There is footage of the two of them handing out pancakes to that group of 250 supporters that we talked about earlier. However the remainder of the video, while it DOES show Pat Roberts a few times, is really all about Sarah Palin.

There are numerous images of her shaking hands and giving out autographs, while attendees gush about her honesty, trustworthiness, and family values. (Hang on I almost gagged there for a second.)

In the end it is yet another example of self promotion, paid for by the idiots who contribute to SarahPAC, the handful of subscribers to the Sarah Palin Channel, and of course the Koch brothers.

When Independents and Democrats join forces to oust you from your Senate seat that is when you get desperate. Even desperate enough to call Sarah Palin for help. Update!

"Oh god, what have I done?
This from The Wichita Eagle:

Jeb Bush, the former governor of Florida and a possible 2016 presidential candidate, will come to Wichita on Sept. 29 to stump for U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts in a tight Senate race that has drawn national attention. 

Bush, the son and brother of the former presidents, will join the three-term senator at a luncheon at Murfin Stables, 14525 E. 13th St. Cost for attendees ranges from $100 up to $2,600 for a seat at the head table, according to the invitation. 

On Thursday, Roberts will be joined by a special guest at the Independence Historical Museum and Art Center in Independence, Kan. A source close to the campaign said that guest is Sarah Palin, the former governor of Alaska who served as running mate in 2008 for Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. 

Okay now I might understand calling in Jeb Bush, who despite his brother's abysmal presidency still for some reason retains a certain amount of gravitas with the Republican party, but Sarah Palin?

Yes Pat Roberts, and indeed the entire Republican party, is in a blind panic after Democratic challenger,Chad Taylor, dropped out of the race in order to give the more popular Independent candidate, Greg Orman, a better shot at beating Roberts, but isn't this kind of like trying to stop a migraine by putting a loaded gun to your head?

Just in case you are wondering if Roberts was flying Palin down, because we all know that she does not use her own money to travel, I would guess that her travel arrangements have already been made by Lifechoices Heath Network, who have invited her down to lie about her experiences as the mother of a child with Down syndrome.

Well if Palin has the effect on the Roberts campaign that she usually has on campaigns then he might just as well start packing his things and preparing to move out of his Senate office now.

Update: Speaking of Palin the National Enquirer has a new piece about the brawl, that quotes our old friend Geoffrey Dunn:  

The former Alaska governor and ex-vice presidential candidate recently said in a TV interview that she wouldn’t rule out a 2016 presidential run, adding she’d “never say never” to an Oval Office bid. 

But after the Sept. 6 melee at a house party in Anchorage, political analyst Geoffrey Dunn, author of the best-selling book “The Lies of Sarah Palin,” told The ENQUIRER the fight “only confirms the national 
perception of Sarah as a trailer-trash diva! 

“In my opinion, it shatters any pretense she has of running for president or any other high office.”

Though it is nice to see Geoffrey weighing in on this, I kind of think he is screwing with the Enquirer a little here. 

I seem to remember that he and I discussed how unlikely it would be that Palin would ever seriously take a run at the White House even before Joe's book came out. And afterward we both agreed that she was done politically.

So I imagine that the Enquirer called up to ask Geoffrey's opinion on how this would affect her chances and he simply played along.

Palin's name came up again in an article discussing the firing of Eric Thompson over at the Daily Mail.

It is essentially all the same stuff we have been discussing here for two weeks now, but again it is nice to see that the media is still paying attention to this story.
