It is however an opportunity to see Palin in the flesh (Well you know the flesh that you can see behind the caked on makeup, fake hair, and pontoon size fake tits.) And it also affords an opportunity to see briefly Todd, showing no obvious injury from his night of drunken brawling.
However, to be fair, there is really no way to determine exactly when this video was shot, so it could have been weeks before the Throwdown at the Hoedown.
Ostensibly this video is to showcase a book written by Breitbart editor Joe Pollack, entitled "Wacko Birds."
Not it is NOT a book about the Palin family, but it IS a book about the Tea Party using the term that John McCain used to label the movement after Rand Paul's self serving filibuster on the Senate floor.
Palin is shown in the kitchen preparing food, though actually it appears that most of the preparations has taken place off camera, and Palin is left to point at various dishes, and claim that each one contains some fish caught by a member of her family.
Palin also attempts to wax philosophical about politics with Pollack, but it turns out to be a really sad regurgitation of Palin talking points.
Here is her defense of the fact that the Tea Party has not defined leadership:
"That's that Catch-22 because people, like me, uh those proudly associated with the Tea party, it ticks me off that the media still gets away with characterizing it as a party though, because then they get to jab us that, 'Oh we have no leadership.' But that's the point."
This discussion happens while Palin is stuffing cheese into her hotdogs. Because, you know, screw you Michelle Obama.
Palin also shakes her pom poms for Breitbart
"I liked that Breitbart was so into that infiltration and influence on pop culture, because, and I tell people all the time, it's not going to be preaching within our four square walls of a church necessarily. It's certainly not preaching to the choir, uh not necessarily the political arena, because in my world, my people, my friends, my family, they're not political. They're just hard working, patriotic, commons sense Americans. And...um..and that just inherently leads them to conservative positions that they stand for. (Wait, so being a hard working American automatically makes you a supporter of conservative positions? Because I know some union members who would have a REALLY hard time with that statement.) But everybody is influenced by pop culture. If not the church, if not politics, then it's, I would say, pop culture."
You know I think that Palin is associating thievery NOT conservative as coming from pop culture, as if it is only a fad and will have no staying power.
The Breitbart zombie and Palin then agree that President Obama was the "Facebook candidate" and that he was essentially shaped by whatever the voters wanted him to be. Just another way to undermine his presidency and suggest that he is lacking in gravitas.
The clip is a little over fourteen minutes long, but it seems like it goes on forever, and contains very little that is coherent from Palin, making the Breitbart clone seem like a Rhodes Scholar by comparison.
Which leads one to ask just WHY did this deserve to be moved from behind the pay wall to make it accessible by the public at large, and I really believe it is a passive way to tell everybody that it is business as usual in Palin-land and that the brawl had no effect on her, her family (You also see the Heaths), or her grifting ways.
However as I said up top, there is NO way to really determine when this clip was filmed so of course it has no value in putting the controversy to rest.
It also does not feature either Bristol or Track, which allows continued speculation as to how they are recovering from their participation is Wasilla Wrestlemania.
Nice try Snowdrift Snooki, but no cigar.
