Sarah Palin brags about a horse that shares the same name as her daughter. Yeah THAT might not be the best idea.

Congratulations to Dance to Bristol for winning the Ballerina Stakes today! This amazing horse is on a great winning streak. It's wonderful to have something more fun to write about at a time when so many troubling things are in the news. I'll be on Greta Van Susteren's show tonight on Fox at 10pm ET to discuss the government official in charge of "hoarding" guns and the millions of rounds of ammo for DHS who happens to be the operator of a hate website advocating the murder of fellow Americans. Unflippingbelievable.

I am not sure what the name "Dance to Bristol" means exactly, and I see no articles attributing the name to Palin's useless offspring, but IF the horse is named in honor of Bristol's dancing it is a wonder the poor thing can even walk much less run. 

So Palin managed to kiss Greta's ass enough to get invited back onto her show huh?

This Homeland Security guy that Palin is talking about is apparently a lunatic who is preparing for a race war and advocating for anti-gay causes.

I assume that since the guy is black that Palin will be trying to link him to the President and inferring that he is working with him to target white people. However that may prove difficult as President Obama is listed on the guy's batshit crazy website as "a treasonous mulatto scum dweller," and lists him among the movement's enemies (also on the list? Oprah Winfrey, Whoopi Goldberg, and Condoleezza Rice, among others.)

Yeah kind of hard to connect him to the President if he refers to him in such derogatory terms, but hey leave it to Palin to try.

Here is video of Palin being interviewed during her visit to the Kentucky Derby. (In case you can't pick her out she is the bag lady wearing the bathrobe.)

Here is the interview.

 And the Huffington Post has a little more: 

On Sunday, Palin took part in a fundraiser, but not the kind the tea party celebrity has become known for. Attending a post-Derby brunch event for the Headley-Whitney Museum in Lexington, Ky. Palin said she was thrilled at the chance to take in some apolitical entertainment. 

"A weekend in Kentucky versus being entrenched in the political world, for a weekend, it's heavenly, it's wonderful," Palin said, according to WLEX.

I am not often for a loss of words when it comes to the crazy lady from the dead lake, but her appearance here is so startling that I really don't know what to say.

Feel free to cover for my lack of eloquence. 

Update: Somebody asked me to add this picture. Okay, why not?

Palin curse arrives at the Kentucky Derby. Horse she picks, Frac Daddy, finishes 16th out of field of 19.

Courtesy of Kansas City Star:

The Palins were the guests of socialite and museum supporter Marylou Whitney and her husband, John Hendrickson, at the annual Brunch and Bibelots party on the museum grounds. Hendrickson knows Palin from when he lived in Alaska in the 1990s. 

The Palins attended the Derby as guests of Whitney and Hendrickson. 

"That was a blast," Sarah Palin said. She said she and her husband had been to the Belmont Stakes with Whitney and Hendrickson, but this was their first Kentucky Derby. 

"It was a once in a lifetime experience," Sarah Palin said. "It was heavenly." 

Palin, who was known for her "Drill, baby, drill" catchphrase in support of more domestic oil-drilling during the 2008 presidential campaign, said she bet on Frac Daddy at the Derby. The horse was named for "fracking," the nickname for hydraulic fracturing, the process of drilling and injecting fluid into the ground at high pressure to fracture shale rocks and release natural gas or oil. 

"Frac Daddy, the name alone warranted a bet," Palin said. The horse finished 16th in a 19-horse field. (Well of course, after what else is one to do with all that free SarahPAC money? It's not like she would bet her OWN money or anything.)


But she said Hendrickson "was the only one who actually won out of our whole group over the weekend." 

"To have grown up watching this iconic event on TV all these years, then to actually be there and be among people who are so passionate about these amazing athletes, who have accomplished so much, it was a wonderful experience," she said. "Certainly we get a sense of this wonderful part of our nation," Palin said. 

I would not be surprised if Palin picked "Frac Daddy" because his name sounded vaguely like one of her favorite cuss words. And NOT because it had anything to do with oil development.

Of course Palin could not let an interview go by without inserting a little tired old Palin-speak.

"This area is gorgeous, aesthetically, the people are gorgeous, they're fun, they're practical, they're grounded."

What exactly does "grounded" mean to this lunatic anyhow?

Has she ever met somebody who WASN'T grounded? 

Did she receive a nasty electric shock from them or something?

Well the Kentucky Derby has been around for quite some time so I am certain that even a visit from the Queen of Irrelevance herself cannot damage it, or its reputation, in any lasting way.

Palin makes an appearance at the Kentucky Derby. You know, to class up the joint. Update!

Source
It appears that she had somebody threw her road kill wig at her head and called it good.

Somebody has already mentioned that Palin is recycling this dress from her appearance trying to steal the limelight away from Bristol while her eldest daughter was embarrassing the hell out of the rest of the clumsy cows in Wasilla.

Speaking of embarrassment, I guess the dress is at least a step up from her choice of wardrobe three three years ago when she attended another event that featured horse racing.

Palin and the twins at Belmont.
Update: Oh yeah that IS Bristol's dress isn't it?

I almost forgot.
