Oh, Sarah Palin is REALLY going to drag this supposed vindication over death panels out for days!

Palin has been tweeting her bony little fingers off today.

First she tweeted this:
Which links to an article from the Right Wing Investors.com that gleefully proclaims that Palin was right, and every one else was wrong. And I believe it signs off with "Nanny, nanny, boo boo."

Then later she tweeted this:
That linked to the Sea O'Pee where the geriatric party is in full swing. (Well full stagger anyway, but they are elderly and incontinent so what do you expect?)

Over there they are essentially using gifs to mock everybody who criticized Palin, including the Republican party, and handing out "she told you so's" to virtually everybody on Palin's old enemies list.

Which nowadays is everybody.

They ended the post with this gif.

As was pointed out here in the comments section, Palin actually has NOT right about death panels. which Media Matters also points out quite effectively:

Sarah Palin was not right. Sarah Palin was never right. And The Hill certainly shouldn't be giving the impression that Palin's "death panel" nonsense has somehow been vindicated. 

Palin's first deployment of "death panel" in August 2009 was in reference to the Advanced Care Planning provision of the House health care bill, and she said it would "decide" whether senior citizens and the disabled were "worthy of health care." This was a lie, and Palin got called out on it, earning herself Politifact's "Lie of the Year" award. 

In December of 2009, Palin switched it up and tried claiming that IPAB (which originated in the Senate's health care bill) was what she was talking about all along and that "this type of rationing" was "precisely what I meant when I used that metaphor." This was also a lie; the law does not allow for the IPAB to make "any recommendation to ration health care... or otherwise restrict benefits or modify eligibility criteria." 

Everything Sarah Palin has said about "death panels" and the health care law has been wrong. The whole "death panel" fiasco is a case study in how ignorant and inflammatory garbage can derail an important policy debate. And The Hill should know better than to treat it as anything but that.

There, that clears things up.

And hear is what News Corpse had to say as well:

If not reading the law makes you an incompetent buffoon, then Palin is at the head of her class. This is what the law actually says about the Independent Advisory Board about which Palin and Bolling were talking: 

“The proposal shall not include any recommendation to ration health care.” 

Of course Palin and her people will never read any of this, nor will anyone who wants to make hay about this in order to attack Obamacare once again. And it is just murky enough that the average GOP voter will take it as gospel that Palin was right and use that to attack all their friends and family members on Facebook and Twitter who dared to ridicule her back in 2009.

Oh joy.

At this point I think it is imperative that Politifact, the site that labeled Palin's claim as The Lie of the Year back in 2009, to once again weigh in and tell the people who are confused about this issue why Palin is still wrong and why she deserved that award, and our continued derision.

Until then these people are gong to be insufferable.

Lawrence O'Donnell takes a much deserved victory lap at the news that Fox News has kicked Sarah Palin to the curb. After all Lawrence was NEVER fooled by Sarah Palin. Never!

Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Courtesy of the Last Word:

In Monday’s Rewrite segment, O’Donnell gave one giant I-told-you-so to pundits and media organizations who took the former Alaska governor seriously as a contender to run against President Obama in the 2012 race. 

“New York Times reporters were not the only ones fooled by Sarah Palin pretending to think about running for president,” said O’Donnell. He also name-checked Dick Morris, Karl Rove, Rudy Giuliani and Game Change author Mark Halperin. 


O’Donnell played a clip reel of the many times he predicted that her flirtations with the Oval Office were a complete “joke,” and reminded viewers of “the world in which the political media hung on every Sarah Palin tweet” and “every ridiculous Facebook post.” 

“It seems now like a far off world, the world in which the political media took Sarah Palin seriously. And now she has lost even the slightest connection to political relevance since FOX News last week unceremoniously dumped her from their paid players list,” said O’Donnell. 

Wow! Lawrence is having almost TOO much fun.

But you can't blame him. He was many time just about the ONLY pundit on any network to call bullshit on Palin's phony political prick teasing about possibly running for President.

God I love the smell of vindication ins the morning. don't you?

Finally! Updated.


As  I have said there are a LOT of damaging facts coming out about Sarah Palin this year.

And literally since I first posted that statement on this blog there have been numerous others brought to my attention that I was not even aware of before! Remember I wrote that before I had ever even HEARD of Shailey Tripp.

However, though I never shared it with all of you, I began to realize that the "babygate" story may not be the one that finally finished Sarah Palin's political "Wild Ride." In fact I began to seriously wonder if I would ever get the truth out at all.

Then the phone rang on January 25th.

Somebody wanted help identifying some photographs, and to ask what WE knew about Sarah Palin's last pregnancy.  This was not just some commenter or conspiracy theorist, this was somebody who we had been waiting to hear from for a very, very long time.

Information was exchanged, dates were confirmed, and jaws dropped in unison. They were completely satisfied that they had what they needed to put the "final nail in the coffin" of Palin's faked pregnancy. (A little inside humor for those of you in the know.)

Of course as usual we were sworn to secrecy.  So we begged, "Isn't there something we can reveal to let people know what is coming?"

We were told I could post the following: "A major news outlet has received additional photos from the Spouse's Luncheon that prove Sarah Palin was not pregnant." (For those who may not be familiar with the "Spouse's Luncheon" just click here to visit Audrey's very informative site to learn more.)

Below is a picture that Audrey had showing Sarah Palin at the Spouse's Luncheon on March 31, a mere twenty days before she gave "birth" to Trig Paxson Van Palin.  Apparently as revealing as this picture is, the ones THEY have make it obvious beyond any doubt that this woman is certainly NOT almost 33 weeks pregnant!


And just for clarification, THIS is not some simple blog or website making that statement!

Think more along the lines of "lamestream media" types. In other words when THEY come out with this evidence there will be no wiggle room left for Sarah Palin.  This will receive national exposure and EVERYBODY will suddenly focus on the "pregnancy." Which also means that all the evidence that we have painstakingly gathered these last two and a half years will be re-examined until there is no doubt that Palin did something unspeakable in 2008, quite possibly for purely political reasons.

Let's see the Palin-bots, Teabaggers, and Right Wing nutcases put a positive spin on THAT!

I have said it before, but it bears repeating, 2011 is going to rock!

P.S. I am also working to get a VERY special interview.  More on that later.

Update: For those who may not get the significance of the Spouse's Luncheon photographs please go here and spend some time looking at the amazing chronology of photographs that Audrey put together. And then keep in mind that ONLY fifteen days after that above photograph was taken that Palin looked like this.

So it is not just that at certain angles during the Spouse's Luncheon she did not look at all pregnant, she CERTAINLY did not appear as pregnant as she claimed, nor did she look ANYTHING like the above photograph taken just two weeks later. 

The evidence has always been there, we just needed somebody with a bigger bullhorn to put it all together.
