Nancy French, channeling Bristol Palin, decides to speak for all indigenous native people living in the Arctic. No, seriously! Update!

So the image up above is of Kylie Jenner, you know one of the Kardashian family members, in her Halloween costume.

She called it her "Eskimo costume" and there was some backlash on social media.

It's not really any big deal to most people, but some people just like to get upset.

However Nancy French saw this as an opportunity to use Bristol's essentially non-relevant, barely  measurable, native heritage to weigh in on the topic in the hopes of getting some attention NOT focused on trying to figure out just who knocked Bristol up most recently.

Here is what she said: 

Well, as a person born and raised in Alaska (born on Alaska Day, no less) who is also part Yup’ik, let me say this. 

I’m not offended! 

In fact, I’m flattered that you think Eskimos looks this chic.

First off to be fair NO Alaska native woman that I am aware of has ever dressed like that.  Ever!

If Jenner were really interested in authenticity she would have dressed more like this.

But of course she was looking for attention, not heat stroke. And that's fine.

What is NOT fine is for Nancy French, a woman with absolutely no native Alaskan heritage to hide behind, to instead use this vacuous simpleton as a vehicle for expressing opinions that have absolutely NO relevance.

For one thing while it might be true that Alaska natives may not find Kylie Jenner's costume offensive, that is really for THEM to decide.

As for the word "Eskimo" that is a non-Alaskan native word that native Alaskans have been saddled with for over a hundred years now. It is NOT typically considered politically correct to refer to our indigenous population using that term.

Which is something that Bristol Palin SHOULD know, but since her mother still brags about "Eskimo Bingo" probably doesn't care to acknowledge.

However once again pasty white Nancy French is NOT an Alaskan native, so she really has no dog in this fight and therefore no opinion worthy of discussion.

Which also brings up the point that even if this were a post written by Bristol Palin (In crayon most likely.) it still would not have any validity because the native people of Canada and Greenland, who have also been derisively referred to as "Eskimo," most certainly DO have a problem with the word.

In short French just decided to not take offense on behalf of not just the Alaska native population, but also the indigenous people of the entire Arctic region. 

Update: Now Nancy is linking to the article as Sarah, that she wrote as Bristol. 

I wonder if this lunatic even knows who she really is anymore?

As you have probably heard former Olympian Bruce Jenner came out with some shocking news. He's a Republican!

Yes I know that Jenner came out as a woman, but seriously after some of the pictures that have been floating around the internet lately who could be surprised by that?

However this, this I found surprising: 

The revelation came when Sawyer asked Jenner for his reaction to President Barack Obama identifying trans Americans during this year’s State of the Union address. 

“He actually was the first one to say the actual word transgender, I will certainly give him credit for that,” Jenner said of Obama. “But not to get political, I’ve just never been a big fan — I’m kind of more on the conservative side.” 

“Are you a Republican?” Sawyer asked. 

“Yeah, is that a bad thing?” Jenner replied. “I believe in the Constitution.”

First off if you really "believe in the Constitution" then why would you side with the political party that does not seem to understand it?

And secondly, are you out of your freaking mind?

Anybody who is going through something as unconventional as sexual reassignment surgery, is certainly NOT going to find any support on the conservative side of the aisle.

Your people. whether you like it or not, are standing firmly with the progressives.

After all changing your sex is just about as progressive as it gets in 2015.

However I have to admit that this revelation helps to explain why a certain half term governor has raised her family, and made choices, that closely mirror the example set by the Kardashians.

Now apparently Todd Palin will have an announcement to make in the very near future.

Are the Palin girls the next Kardashians? Yeah, not likely.

The next Kardashians? Or an episode of "To Catch a Predator?"
Courtesy of the National Enquirer:

“Sarah is getting flak from BOTH Todd and from Bristol,” said an insider. 

Todd’s proposed show about his snowmobile racing was shot down by both Discovery Communications and the A&E Network. And Bristol is strug­gling to reinvent her scrapped Bio channel reality show, this time under a Kardashian-style format featuring her boyfriend Gino Paoletti and her 17-year-old sister Willow. 

“To Sarah’s credit, she helped pitch Todd’s show,” noted the insider. 

“But he’s still furious. He thinks she didn’t work hard enough because it wasn’t centered around her. 

“And Bristol’s upset because Sarah wants to stay out of ne­gotiations for her show. Sarah isn’t thrilled with Willow being involved. But Bristol believes the show will be more marketable with Willow – that they can be the next Kardashian sisters.”

Well if this is accurate, and I have no independent confirmation that it is, it is also something that I think most of us predicted well over a year ago. If not earlier.

I have little trouble believing most of it, EXCEPT that Todd is really interested in getting his own reality show. I don't really think Sarah Palin's personal handbag carrier likes being in the spotlight.

And who can blame him? After all I have seen tree stumps with more personality then the Toad.

However  I have absolutely NO problem believing that Bristol, having given up on the adorableness of little Tripp to bring in the viewers, is now trying to prostitute her younger sister in order to attract the lecherous old men to watch their crappy reality show.

Ge Bristol I guess even after trying to convince Tripp that he is a Palin, by keeping him from his father's side of the family and embroidering "Tripp Easton Mitchell Palin" on his butt, he still refuses to cooperate with your money making schemes. Is that it?


Personally I think this is where Palin and her hillbilly crew were always determined to go in the first place. Reality television.

Let's face it, earning money for doing NOTHING except living your life while people film you, how is that NOT a Sarah Palin dream come true?

Sadly for them they are simply NOT that damn interesting. Once people were assured she no longer posed a danger to them and their children by gaining access to the White House, they simply stopped giving a shit WHAT she did.

Wow, that has to suck don't you think? So boring that you cannot even compete against such intellectually stimulating programming as  "Storage Wars," Toddlers & Tiaras," or "The Dog Whisperer."

Just when you thought the Sarah Palin's star could not sink any lower.
