After Palin's appearance on Today, she quickly limped back to Fox in order to commiserate with Sean Hannity, Dana Perino, and some old guy whose name I don't have time to learn. (The pertinent portion is between 0:25 and 3:45.)
“It wasn’t just a coincidence that I was on this morning up against some competition down the plaza.” Yeah personally I had no illusions that any of this was accidental.
Palin was even MORE forthcoming with Zap2it:
"The people backstage," she writes to Zap2it, "who make the 'Today' show happen are top-notch! Todd (husband Todd Palin) said to let you know, Kate, that '...they put my home TV crew to shame' (That would be my crew of Todd and a buddy -- and sometimes the kids helping out -- in our Wasilla studio located in the back of Todd's airplane hanger).
"Really, it was a lot of fun to work with every single one of the folks at the 'Today' show. I have so much respect for the workerbees at my FOX job, and to see this network support staff working just as hard to produce their network's product reinforces my belief that it's the good people with their elbow grease and nose to the grindstone who make the world go 'round. They make the talent look good!
"And, frankly, I'm ecstatic we beat the 'perky one,' although I wouldn't have gone up against ABC's vacationing Robin Roberts, because she's such a good egg. By the way, both Robin and Matt Lauer have traveled the long journey to Alaska and dealt with unglamorous, rugged conditions to see more of our world; they've shown respect for a more unconventional Americana lifestyle, and we appreciate that."
"Workerbees?" Is that her version of "the little people?"
I don't know why Palin has to describe a trip to Alaska as rife with hardships. We are the 49th state in the union, NOT the deepest darkest jungles of Africa. (Which by the way ALL Alaskans, with one notable exception, recognize as a continent.)
So clearly Palin went on the Today show simply to beat the "perky one," as Palin so derisively calls award winning journalist Katie Couric, which is exactly the kind of ugly, mean girl comment that we have all come to expect from a woman with perhaps the longest list of enemies since Richard M. Nixon.
However what she fails to note is that the Today Show ALWAYS beats GMA, and that her appearance actually improved those ratings very little.
P.S. if you want to see Hannity's the entire interview with the Grizzled Mama you can see it by clicking here.
