Sarah Palin congratulates Taylor Swift for winning a Grammy, having a pro-women message, but mostly for posing with Piper six years ago.

So last night Taylor Swift won Album of the Year, which is quite an achievement.

So in response Sarah Palin called a bunch of media outlets all clamoring to hear her opinion on the big win to issue a statement.

Just kidding, she banged something out with her forehead on Facebook: 

Congrats to Taylor Swift who made grammy history and has good advice for your young women: 

“As the first woman to win Album of the Year at the Grammys twice, I want to say to all the young women out there: There are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame.” Congrats Taylor - thanks for being sweet to Piper a few years back!

Translation: "Congratulations on having talent,  I guess some people really need that as a crutch, now let me figure out some way to make this about me or my family. Wait didn't you have your picture taken with one of my kids one time?"

Oh and also with that dude who screwed up being Charlie Sheen more than Charlie Sheen did.

Is everybody in the family simply a prop at this point? Or is that a silly question.

You know Palin did not have to drag her youngest daughter into this, after all there is also a picture of HER sitting with Taylor Swift that is a little more recent.

Oh yeah you can almost feel the warmth between them in this photo from SNL's 40th Anniversary show.

By the way does Sarah Palin, who is famously anti-feminist, recognize that Swift's acceptance speech last night is being heralded as a victory for feminists?

Somehow I doubt it.

Insider co-host likens Sarah Palin to Kim Kardashian. I'm pretty sure he owes me copyright money for that.

Courtesy of Al Arabiyah News:

The Insider’s co-host Kevin Frazier on the CBC network described Palin, the former governor of Alaska, as taking the opportunity to further her fame just like “The Kardashians,” who have been lambasted by some observers for seeking fame. 

In a segment discussing her upcoming show, “Amazing America with Sarah Palin,” Frazier said: 

“The one thing I kept thinking - I have met the political Kardashian,” right-wing U.S. website Breibart reported him as saying Thursday. 

Bad news I just did a quick Google search and it turns out that just about EVERYBODY has been comparing Palin to the Kardashians for years. I KNEW I should have had Klondike Kardashian copyrighted!

I love this part of the article.

Frazier added: “She has made something out of nothing and people keep eating [it up].”

Well that may be about the truest things ever said about Sarah Palin.

Of course the one thing that separates Kim Kardashian from Palin is that HER reality shows were an actual success, and that success has now spread throughout her entire family.

Palin on the other hand has failed time and time again, and every attempt by her family to ride on her coattails ends in a complete disaster.

Personally I think we are seeing the final death throes of Palin's unnecessarily extended fifteen minutes of fame.

After this it is going to be sad little appearances on local talk radio shows, which of course she has already started doing, and old people porn that nobody will ever watch.

George Zimmerman sits for six hours at Florida gun show. Less than 20 people show up for autographs. So ends another fifteen minutes of undeserved fame.

Courtesy of the Washington Times:

George Zimmerman spent Saturday signing autographs and snapping photos with customers and fans at the New Orlando Gun Show. 

Over the course of six hours, fewer than 20 people lined up to see Mr. Zimmerman, who was acquitted last year in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. He was stationed in a rear office of The Arms Room gun store, the New York Daily Newsreported. 

The show was originally set to be held at the Majestic on John Young Parkway, but organizers said the venue canceled late Thursday after getting negative feedback about Mr. Zimmerman’s planned appearance, WESH reported. 

“They told us they canceled for community pressure,” organizer Mike Piwowarski told the station. “They were getting phone calls and backlash, and didn’t want that kind of person there.” 

Fox 35 asked Mr. Zimmerman if he felt his appearance at the gun show could be viewed as antagonistic. 

“I don’t worry about people that say it’s antagonistic,” he said. “To be honest with you, like I said, the importance was to support the people that supported me.” 

“I’m willing to talk to everyone and try and answer their concerns or questions, and [have] them realize there’s no need to be angry,” he said.

 No reason to be angry? Cannot say I agree with that.

After all he did get away with the murder of an unarmed teenager.

Here is how one couple described their meeting with Zimmerman: 

“He seemed nervous and actually a little scared to be there. He also appeared emotional, like he was really thankful and touched that people would come out to see him,” said Melissa. 

“It was pretty weird to meet him in person — and wow, he has gained a lot of weight!” 

The Washington Times also reported that Zimmerman claims to suffer from PTSD and is receiving mental health services pro-bono.

He also is in constant fear for his life and wears a bulletproof vest everywhere he goes.  

Gee I guess getting away with murder is not all it's cracked up to be.

The author of "Bush's Brain" explains Sarah Palin to the ignorant masses. He essentially does my job for me, and does it quite well.

Sarah Palin with her "Notice me, listen to me, give me money" fake breastesess.

Courtesy of CNN:  

Sarah is selling Sarah. The former vice presidential candidate and half-term governor of Alaska is a commodity of one and a marketing machine. She has created a new politics of profit. 

Palin's reanimation on the tea party stage probably means no more than the other intentions she has floated but never executed. She spent almost a year of the last presidential election cycle teasing the far right that she was going to run for president. She never did, but lots of network TV interviews and speculative articles drove up her name recognition and brand identification. 

And she's not running again. 

Palin is re-running the same show in her home state of Alaska by hinting that she is going to be a candidate for the U.S. Senate. She will not run though. There is too much risk of failure. She's not the near-unknown who was elected governor of Alaska and then quit 2½ years into the job. She has a profile, and she intends to use it to make money, which is one commitment she knows how to keep. Running and losing is always bad for business. 

Palin is a product. Not a candidate. 

Politically, Sarah Palin is an opposite gender version of Donald Trump. She makes grandiloquent statements about candidacies and a future that she knows will never transpire. Trump and Palin lack the courage to run for president but have profitably monetized the speculation about a candidacy. Trump cannot abide the notion of losing, which he knows is inevitable, and he fears what that might do to his image and revenue stream. Palin is self-aware enough to realize that she has neither the intellect nor popular support outside the increasingly unpopular tea party. 

So why not make a buck?

Precisely!

Okay well this will in no way comes as new information to any of you who have spent even a minimum amount of time on this blog. However to others it may come as a revelation. And to certain Palin supporters (I think there a half dozen or so left.) it will be tantamount to blasphemy.

P.S. There is more Palin bashing goodness in the article over at the CNN link.

Congratulations to Bristol Palin, for making the number nine spot on Radar Online's list of "Stars Who are Famous for Doing Nothing."

Courtesy of Radar Online: 

Bristol Palin: Former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol caused a sensation when it was revealed she was a pregnant and unmarried teenager during the 2008 campaign. Bristol and her baby daddy, Levi Johnston, were supposed to wed but never did. After Sarah lost the election, Bristol decided to parlay her fame into a stint on Dancing with the Stars in 2010. Despite questionable dance skills and performing in a monkey suit, she finished 3rd! Later, the Alaska girl released a memoir, Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far. Incredibly, the reality journey continued in 2012, when she starred on Lifetime’s Bristol Palin: Life’s a Tripp, and returned to DWTS as part of the all-star cast.

Sadly they left off  Bristol's most recent foray into "things I can only do because my past name is Palin" with her appearance on "Celebrity Wife Swap" with Joan and Melissa Rivers, which you have to admit what QUITE an achievement since neither Bristol or Melissa are indeed wives.

Have you ever stopped to imagine what it must be like to be Bristol? (Try not to gag.)

You would have been paid to talk about abstinence even though you were unable and unwilling to practice it in your own life. You would be paid to appear on your mother's short lived reality show as a  mythologized version of yourself. You would have been able to place third in a dance contest even though everybody who watched could see that you sucked balls. You would have a book ghostwritten for you in which you were able to attack the father of your son for not being an involved parent, even though you tricked him into impregnating you, and were actively keeping him from seeing his son. You would then get your own short lived reality show during which you could show the world just how screwed up your kid was while continuing to blame his father for not being an active parent, while once again actively keeping him away from the boy. Then for some reason you would be invited back onto DWTS to finally be treated as you deserved and get kicked off in week four. (And even that was being charitable.) Then you would have a new blog launched in you name apparently to give you some credibility as an uber Christian political pundit. (This would be ghostwritten for you as well. Of course.) And finally you would be invited to appear on "Celebrity Wife Swap," even though you are unmarried, during which you would act like a spoiled brat and once again show your the world your complete lack of parenting skills.

You know after reading all of what I just wrote all I can ask is, how in the hell is she ONLY number nine on a list of people who are famous for doing nothing?

Having cashed the check, Bristol Palin decides to bite all over the hand that fed her. (Well at least helped her get a new pontoon boat.)

You know you would have thought that Bristol would have watched the "Celebrity Wife Swap" episode  she appeared in with Joan and Melissa Rivers a long time ago, but apparently she is just now getting around to it.

At least that's what I assume considering that THIS just showed up on Brancy's blog: 

I appreciate all the love and comments I’ve been getting about my time on Wife Swap – it seemed like many of you really enjoyed seeing Melissa Rivers and me switching lives! Through Twitter and Facebook, I’ve gotten some questions about the show. 

But by far, I was asked most of all about the moment Joan Rivers said this in an off camera interview: 

“Don’t play the victim… In my generation, Tripp would be called illegitimate. Bristol would be called the little whore down the block.” 

When I first saw this, I have to be honest… it was pretty shocking. Joan has criticized me and my family before. She has called my mom a “Nazi,” “crazy,” “stupid,” and “a threat.” 

She has called me an “old horse,” “stupid,” and said things about my weight. I guess we can add “whore” to the list. But isn’t it funny how Joan suddenly goes all 1950s when it suits her? In her comedy routines, she mentions any sort of sexual thing to shock the audience. But when she wants to insult me, she suddenly has the sexual standards of a “Leave it to Beaver” episode. Anyway, I have addressed my pregnancy many times in public. I’m thankful for a God who forgives and loves. 

On Wife Swap, however, she went a step too far by attacking my son Tripp. 

It’s just wrong to call a child something like “illegitimate” on national television. Life is tough, and not everyone is born into the perfect family home life. But my son is not “illegitimate.” He’s legitimately amazing. I like to say, “just because a kid is born into a broken family doesn’t mean the child is broken.” 

All life is precious… And Tripp is a definitely a blessing from God.

Okay I read Joan's comment a few times to see if I had missed something, but I don't think I did.

All Joan did was to demonstrate frustration that somebody who has led SUCH a privileged life goes around playing the victim. And she is right, Bristol got to be the Queen of Abstinence, after the birth of Tripp, due to her mother's name and influence, whereas MOST teen mothers (ALL of them in Joan's day), would have been shamed and made to feel dirty for getting knocked up at her age. (Not to mention the first time she got knocked up, but let's not go there.)

And by the way if somebody does NOT want to be called a whore on national television it might be a good idea to stay OFF of national television.

Because as all of US well know what Joan said pales in comparison to the kinds of things that are said about Bristol on social media sites all over the internet.

Personally I applaud Joan for telling an obvious truth, and screw Bristol for acting all hurt about it almost an entire month after it was broadcast on television just to drum up sympathy and once again play the Palin victim card.

P.S. For those who want to know where Joan actually said those words it is on the very end of this segment.

Levi Johnston turned down both DWTS and "Stars Earning Stripes." So WHO is the fame whore now?

Courtesy of Rumor Fix:  

Bristol Palin’s baby daddy has been asked to follow in the footsteps of his ex-girlfriend and join the highly-rated talent competition, says Levi’s new wife, Sunny Johnston. 

Sunny tells RumorFix exclusively, Levi turned it down because, “He wants out of the media.” 

She also says he turned down an offer to join Stars Earn Stripes, the show that Jack Osbourne couldn’t get booked on. 

The 20-year-old newlywed also says Levi has rejected doing his own reality show. (Our sources say the show was shelved after Sarah Palin decided to stay out of this election.)

That last part is undoubtedly true, but  I do KNOW that the whole "Ricky Hollywood" idea was the brainchild of Tank Jones, and that Levi was very uncomfortable with the idea of being a celebrity.

In fact, though he appeared to be all for it, Levi did not really want to star in a reality show or pose for Playgirl.  Those were things that Tank talked him into and Levi trusted him implicitly back then.

I am not at all surprised that Levi does not want to continue pimping himself out for attention, and even though he could make enough money to pay off his debts, that he is not willing to give up any more of his dignity in exchange for money.

By the way though I think Levi would suck ass as a dancer on DWTS (Though not nearly as much as his baby mama), he would have kicked ass on that stupid "Stars Earning Stripes" show and made Todd look like the panty waist that we all know him to be.

Levi has spent weeks hunting in the Alaska wilderness, and from all reports is quite skilled with firearms. He surely would not even had to have all of that special editing to make HIM look like a capable combatant. If you know what I mean.

Todd and Bristol Palin pimp their new reality shows. I have a wading pool in the back yard with more depth than these two put together.

First up is Todd, sitting between two actual men, talking about his reality show "Stars Earn Stripes."

Look how uncomfortable he is throughout the entire interview and how he tries to tries to build himself up a little by talking about his Iron Dog wins, and his oilfield job. (I should just mention that we have had women up here who have won the Iditarod, a REALLY difficult race.)

I also noticed that Todd was the only one who had to have the questions repeated, apparently comprehension is not his strong suit.

This next interview was done after Todd's, and has Bristol talking about her upcoming gig on DWTS.

Bristol is clearly her mother's child, referring to God a number of times and claiming that her heart is with the pro-life community. Most of her answers are extremely vague and of course she HAS to act as if her fame is a burden while also hinting that she might pursue a career in politics.

God can you just imagine?

Update: It looks like at least ONE DWTS  participant is not staying silent about the obvious:  

But according to DWTS pro Karina Smirnoff, there’s one contestant who almost certainly will not be holding the mirror ball trophy above her head at the end of the season: Bristol Palin. 

Smirnoff told People, “I’d be very, very surprised if [Bristol Palin] won. Bristol was not known as the best dancer of her season.” 

Based on the above statement, Karina Smirnoff definitely wins the award for understatement of the year. She continued, “there was so much controversy when she was on.”

You know I would not be surprised that the free pass is over for Bristol, and that this time she can REALLY get a taste of what it is like to be criticized honestly for her dancing. Not to mention her personality.

People are simply fed up with the Palins, and their grifting bullshit.

It looks as if the Palin family is not yet finished inflicting themselves on America. Bristol returns to DWTS. Update!

The giant black moth of no rhythm returns!

Courtesy of The Washington Post:

 The Palin family reality TV dynasty has grown by one, as Bristol Palin is indeed returning for ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars: All-Stars.” 

Disney actor Kyle Massey, who finished Season 11 in a higher spot than Bristol (she finished third) is among the former celebs on the list of candidates waiting to find if they’ve made it to the all-star edition — viewers get to decide whether, Carson Kressley or Sabrina Bryan will be the final celeb dancers on the show this fall. 

Once upon a time, Bristol Palin and Kyle were supposed to team up and live together for a BIO channel reality series. But when that show fell apart, it got turned into “Bristol Palin: Life’s a Tripp” without Kyle or his brother, and wound up on Lifetime (where it’s performing so poorly in the ratings that Lifetime moved it to late night). Last month, Kyle and his family sued the producers of “Life’s a Tripp,” saying they got shut out at the last minute. 

With Friday’s announcement, the Palin family now has five reality series under its belt, including “DWTS” twice, Lifetime’s “Bristol Palin: Life’s a Tripp,” Todd Palin’s new NBC reality series, “Stars Earn Stripes,” and TLC’s “Sarah Palin’s Alaska.”

So much for that whole "Bristol is finished with Hollywood and just wants to live a quiet life in Alaska" mooseshit. Not that any of us believed it in the first place.

Clearly the Grizzled Mama has got this whole family focused on miking their last few sad drops of fame out of the television teat before it finally dries up and leaves them alone, poor, and destitute in their crazy little compound by the dead lake. At which time I have little doubt they will take turns showing up on Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew.

Okay somebody remind me, just how long does it usually take for a slow motion train wreck to finally reach completion?

Update: I swear there is no delusion like a Palin delusion.

Like death and taxes, it looks like Bristol Palin's new reality show is inevitable.

I know a lot of people had predicted (And even more had hoped) that this show would never get the opportunity to kill even more of this nation's brain cells, but it seems to me that if the producers are willing to put Bristol on the talk show circuit, and shows are willing to book her, that it is definitely a go.

So like it or not, on June 19, Bristol will FINALLY get the chance to prove to America that the lack of intelligence and talent in the Palin family is hereditary. (Not that most of us did not figure that out back in 2010 during her painful stint of waddling around the set of DWTS.)

Somebody will need to check for me, but IS this a sign of the Apocalypse?

Oh well on the plus side, now at least Sherry and Sadie will get a chance to see Tripp. Not to mention the incredible metamorphosis that Bristol's body and face go through during the filming of the show.

You know I don't know whey these people don't believe in Evolution. It appears to me that both Bristol and her mother are evolving into plastic caricatures of themselves right before our eyes!

I think this might be the very definition of "has been."

Jesus what does it say when people are not even willing to pay a $1.99 to wipe poop on your face?

I'm wondering if, considering that the description for being a has been is that you have "hit bottom," what it means if you are such a has been that you cannot even get near anybody's bottom?

First the Japanese attacked the Aleutian Islands, then a huge earthquake hit in 1964, now we have the premiere of Sarah Palin's new reality show. Hasn't Alaska suffered enough?

(Here Sarah demonstrates how her family has learned to commune with nature.)

From CNN Entertainment:

But if you think you already see plenty of Palin, get ready for November 14, when “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” will premiere on TLC, according to THR.

TLC President Eileen O’Neill said that at the Television Critics Association press tour that the show is going “extremely well.” She added that “it’s become clear that it takes a special individual to thrive in Alaska.”

Yeah and do you know what? Most of us thrive in Alaska without pimping out our families to reality shows and supermarket tabloids.

I am simply horrified that this woman is going to, once again, represent Alaska to people all around the world.  She is a complete embarrassment to our beautiful state and she just will not go away!

I cannot imagine how Alaska could be made to look any worse!

It seems Kate Gosselin also fits into that “special” category, as she will reportedly appear on the show with all 8 of her kids for a camping session.

I stand corrected.
