Sarah Palin emerges from the dire mists of Lake Lucille. "By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes."

In order to play video just touch the rainbow. The pretty, pretty, angry blue rainbow.

I knew Palin would be a little testy after learning that she would have no role at the GOP convention, but even I was a little surprised by the angry visage which loomed behind my television screen last night.

She appeared sullen and bitter, with her mouth set in a permanent scowl that ONLY seemed to animate when there was an opportunity to attack the President. (That is essentially her happy place.)

To her credit she did manage to hold it together for the interview, but literally every time her mouth stopped moving she would stop and glare at the camera in obvious irritation. You could almost see the steam escape around the edges of her roadkill wig, as she listened to the next prearranged question from Greta.

However Palin being Palin she could NOT resist stirring the pot just a little, this time it took the form of suggesting (But not really of course), that President Obama replace Joe Biden with Hillary Clinton.

"Really the strategists there in the Obama campaign have got to look at a diplomatic way of replacing Joe Biden on the ticket...with Hillary! And I don't want to throw out that suggestion and have them actually accept the suggestion because then a Obama/Hillary Clinton ticket would have a darn good chance of winning. But Joe Biden really drags down that ticket." 

Oh DAMN that's nasty! As we all know Palin thinks that Obama is the worst possible President that this country could EVER have chosen ("He's not even the right color for God's sake!"), so to suggest that Joe Biden, despite a recent "gaffe." is the problem with the ticket is certainly NOT something which she actually believes. But it DOES give her the chance to screw with Romney by making a suggestion that, in her opinion, would make Obama's victory a lock, and perhaps throw a little scare into Mittens by doing so.

Of course right after this rattling of Romney's cage door, Palin turns the attention back to herself. Essentially making the case for WHY, despite that fact that she is a hateful bitch, she should be embraced by the Romney campaign.

"There are only two people who have ever had to run against Barack Obama and his MACHINE and that's John McCain and myself when we ran in '08. I know what this is about I know how dirty they can get." (In other words, "Why in the hell am I NOT invited to that damn convention!")

Next up is her patented, and always venomous, attack on the media:

Uh oh! It looks like the Palin-bots are "getting their panties in a wad" over the HBO movie "Game Change." Update!

These are some recent tweets from ABC's Michael Falcone, who apparently has been getting an earful from Palin's paid defenders.

As you may or may not know Meg Stapleton was Palin's media mouthpiece, right up until she mysteriously quit two days after my "Two Babies" post And Randy Scheunemann is Palin's so-called "foreign policy adviser." (Boy, there's somebody who's essentially just stealing money.)

So I think we can discern from this that the Grizzled Mama is all "wee wee'd" up about this movie and sending her surrogates out to "refudiate" everything that this film is about to show the American People about John McCain's horribly unfit running mate.

Damn, is it March 10th yet?  I can hardly wait for the REAL fun to start!

Update: Here's what inspired Falcone's tweets, a conference call with  Palin former staffers. (In other words people still being paid to defend their queen.):

“If the book was very misleading, the movie’s going to be far worse,” said Palin adviser Randy Scheunemann. “It gives fiction a bad name to call this fiction.” 

The Palin aides repeatedly criticized the authors of the popular book, Mark Halperin and John Heilemann, for writing about Palin when they weren’t physically there covering the things that were reported in the book. 

“It’s a false narrative cobbled together by a group of people who simply weren’t there,” said Palin aide Jason Recher. 

“There’s only one person qualified to tell that story, and it’s her,” said another, Doug McMarlin. 

But Stapleton gave the most impassioned defense, accusing the media of an “insatiable desire to beat and beat and beat” Palin. 

Stapleton also accused Steve Schmidt, a top adviser for the McCain-Palin ticket in 2008, of exacting revenge on Palin. 

“Schmidt is infamous for lining up and destroy,” Stapleton said. “He is abusive, he is abrasive, and he is nothing short of a world-class bully.” 

Scheunemann added: “I think it’s pretty clear that he’s at the heart of this.” 

In response, Schmidt said he has seen the film and that it is accurate. 

“The movie was, for me, a powerful rendering of an extremely intense experience that I went through, and I think the movie shows Sarah Palin in all of her complexities – a person of great talent and great strength on the one hand, but also a person who wasn’t prepared for the job she was nominated for,” Schmidt told The Fix. “The movie explains how that happened and why that happened.” 

None of Palin’s staff said that they had actually seen the movie, but said they were basing their reactions on the trailers for the film and what was contained in the book. 

 “Looking at the trailers alone gets my blood boiling,” Stapleton said, referring to a clip from the trailer of Palin’s character lying on the floor of a bathroom in the fetal position.

"No we haven't seen it, but we are told that we have to hate it! So we do!"

One has to wonder just how this woman is still able to exert such control over these people. It can't JUST be a monetary thing.

By the way that "false narrative comment" in the fourth paragraph, is a phrase that Palin uses ALL OF THE TIME now. Which kind of makes you wonder if these responses were not scripted for these "former advisers."

You know kind of like Brad Hanson's statement, that he and Sarah NEVER had an affair, which he had no idea that he had given.

Update 2: There is more in depth reporting here.

Palin even dug up Thomas Van Flein and dragged him into this flame war.  She is DEFINITELY pissed!
