True Blood star responds to Sarah Palin's attack on the show. (Oh, and I might have made a teensy weensy mistake as well.)

Courtesy of Deadline: 

True Blood may be into its final season, but the HBO show wasn’t treating its likely last Comic-Con appearance with anything but a ravenous appetite and a bit of bite. Specifically it was former GOP VP candidate Sarah Palin who got chomped. “She’ll weigh in on anything,” castmember Kristin Bauer van Straten said disdainfully of Palin revealing that she turned down the attempt HBO made to get the ex-Alaska governor on the show for its most recent broadcast. Besides a bloodbath at a fictional fundraiser for real-life Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, the July 20 episode had several digs at the GOP including one character referring to herself as “a Republic**t.”

Deadline goes on to address Palin's rant about True Blood's attitude toward Conservatives which of course we covered here.

You will also note that the website discloses exactly WHEN Palin was offered the role, which as it turns out was for the episode that played last Sunday, which is something that I got wrong in my post last Friday.

In my defense it is usual to refer to episodes in numerical order which would mean that the last one would be episode 75, not five. However it was not reported that way which led to the confusion.

There were arguments for both cases. Offering it to Palin back when she was a relative unknown would have meant that she would not carry quite so much baggage as now, giving the producers the slim possibility of presenting her character as something other than a horrible bitch, but offering her the recent one with the word "Republicunt," and Pam's obvious disdain for the Republicans, does not seem like something even a person as desperate for employment as Palin would nibble at.

So we wrong, Palin was offered the opportunity to appear in the more recent episode five, and she did not take it.  Glad we have that settled.

Here is more of what Bauer van Straten had to say about our favorite Alaskan bloodsucker:

“It’s sweet many, many years later that I’ve made her angry, I had fun doing it,” said the actress who plays vampire Pam Ravenscroft of first hearing Palin’s name and the way she reacted to the cabler’s offer. Van Straten’s remark got huge applause from the thousands in Ballroom 20 of the San Diego Convention Center. 

I really love Pam's character. And since this is the final season I am going to really miss this show.

It looks like the producers of True Blood really DID offer Sarah Palin a part. Surprisingly enough it was not as an undead bloodsucker.

Courtesy of TPM:  

It turns out HBO really did try to wrangle Sarah Palin into a cameo role on the vampire drama "True Blood." 

"Sarah Palin was one of several Republican figures brought up in discussions regarding episode 5 of 'True Blood,'" HBO spokeswoman Kelley Carville said Thursday in a statement to TPM. "Casting directors for the show reached out to Ms. Palin's representative but did not receive a response."

Of course as we know Palin recently freaked out over a recent episode in which Republicans were shown in a less than  positive light. You know essentially as they actually are in real life.

She also expressed confidence that when the producers invited her to participate in the show they did so to ridicule her or make fun of conservative women.

However the spokesperson for the show says that was never the intention at all:

"Had Sarah Palin come on the show she would have been treated with the same level of dignity and respect all of the show’s actors are and would have been privy to the script in advance of filming," HBO's Carville said.

Now it is perfectly understandable that Palin would assume that the show wanted her on in order to make fun of her, after all she is a national punchline these days.

However episode five, the one that she was offered, was broadcast way back in October of 2008, well before most of the world realized just what a disgrace she was. (I mean yeah, WE were making fun of her, but we were ahead of the curve all along.)

So Palin might have actually had an enjoyable time on the show, and after her humiliating defeat in November of 2008, could have possibly pursued a career as a mediocre actor. Instead of ending up as a failed reality show, and the coauthor of some very poorly written books.

Oh what might have been.

Sarah Palin claims that she turned down a cameo in the HBO vampire hit series "True Blood."

Courtesy of, where else, Breitbart:  

"The brilliant minds of 'True Blood' were brazen enough to ask me to do a cameo on their show, apparently so they could insult a conservative woman in person instead of just all conservative women in general," Palin told Breitbart News. "Their offer wasn’t presented in any negative way, perhaps to benefit from a surprise factor after the guest appearance. I turned them down anyway." 

Palin also had some choice words for hypocritical Hollywood liberals who often gin up the phony "war on women" rhetoric. 

"To producers who throw these deceitfully 'flattering' bones that sound fun on the surface, is it really any wonder I don't accept your offers to participate in your shows?" she said. "Nice try HBO. I’d put any mama grizzly in America against a vampire any day; for only one of them actually exists. The left wants to talk about a 'war on women'? Keep engaging in your misogynist attacks on women you disagree with and we’ll see who wins your self-inflicted war in the court of decent public opinion."

You know I would usually doubt a story like this, but this time I think the world's most famous liar might be telling the truth. 

After all she already looks and dresses like one of the undead.

We've been watching her decay for years.

And who wouldn't want to see this reaction when somebody on the show referred to her as a "Republicunt?"

I know I would personally watch that over and over until my DVR had completely worn out.

We have a new word of the day, and I think most of you are going to quickly add it to your vocabulary.

WARNING! If you have not yet watched the July 10th episode of "True Blood." and don't want to hear any spoilers, then stop reading now.

Courtesy of HuffPo:

Vampires Eric and his progeny Pam attended a Ted Cruz fundraiser supposedly held at the George W. Bush Presidential Library in Dallas to search for the parents of their enemy, Sarah Newlin. 

Trying to blend in, Eric dons a Western-style suit with a bolo instead of a necktie while Pam puts on a purple dress worthy of a gala on either side of the aisle. 

 But when she catches a glimpse of herself in a mirror, Pam utters a line that would light up Twitter:

"Oh. My. God. I'm a RepubliCunt." Lmao, one of the best @BauervanStraten lines. Ever. #TrueBlood #LostCause

I'm using Republicunt in a sentence tomorrow #TrueBlood

"OMG. I'm a Republicunt." ~ Pam. OMGodric #TrueBlood I will miss you when you go.

I usually kick out comments using the "C" word but I am afraid that I cannot resist adding "Republicunt" to my repertoire. And I have a feeling that Sarah Palin will quickly find a reason to really hate "True Blood" in the next several weeks.

Personally that line made me laugh out loud, and the fact that this happened at a Ted Cruz fundraiser in the George W. Bush Library just made it all the funnier.

So good.
