Sarah Palin gives her ridiculous opinion of Bernie Sanders, but more importantly talks about her daughter's pregnancy for the first time.

"Dammit they're calling me out on this I guess I need to respond."

 Sarah Palin -- yes, that Sarah Palin -- has some nice things to say about Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. Sort of. 

The former Alaska governor and 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate told "CBS Sunday Morning" that she appreciates the Vermont senator's candor. 

"He really does remind me of one of my uncles. And you know, you hear that, that he's like the uncle who maybe lives in your attic and ... comes down once in awhile in order to entertain at a party," Palin said in the interview, which is set to air Sunday at 9 a.m. EST. "So, I get a kick out of him because he, too, is, he's candid, right?" 

Yeah Sarah Palin wants to minimize Sanders by comparing him to a crazy old uncle who lives in an attack, not exactly surprising that his well reasoned arguments leave her baffled and confused.

But the big news was that she was then asked about Bristol's newest baby bump.

"That was a bit of a climactic, 'oh doggone, what happened there' issue," Palin said. "The cool thing about putting your faith in God is, he certainly is a God of second chances, and third, and fourth and fifth chances. ... I screw up all the time." 

Wow! Only weeks before the blessed event and Palin FINALLY gets around to acknowledging it.  And when she does she refers to it as a "screw up," despite the fact that Bristol insists it was planned.

That must make Bristol feel super duper loved and supported.

And exactly what was that part about "third, and fourth, and fifth chances?"

Fox News reporter claimed that he was an eyewitness to a cop shooting a black man in the back, except he never saw anything, there was no shooting, and he damn near started another riot.

Fox's Mike Tobin

Fox News anchor Shepard Smith apologized on-air Monday afternoon after his colleague Mike Tobin erroneously claimed to have witnessed a Baltimore police officer shoot a black man in the street. 

Shortly after 2:45 p.m. ET, Tobin called into Fox News’ The Real Story and told host Gretchen Carlson that he saw police officers chasing a man, and “as he was running away, that police officer drew his weapon and fired and struck the individual who was running away.” 

Video showed the allegedly wounded man cuffed and being removed from the scene on a gurney, while an officer stood over a six-shooter on the sidewalk and colleagues secured the area with pepper spray guns.

However as it turns out there was no shooting, and the Baltimore police moved quickly to shut down the rumors before they could begin to circulate.

The reports of a man being shot at North and Pennsylvania Ave are NOT true. Officers have arrested a man for a handgun at the location

And so, on live television, about half-an-hour later, Tobin back-tracked on his story, telling Smith that he had only heard a single gunshot, and did not actually see anyone fire a weapon. There was a row of parked cars between him and the scene, he admitted. 

The final nail in this story’s coffin came when on-the-ground reporter Leland Vittert caught up with a white-shirted officer (lieutenant or above in ranking), who definitively stated that there was no actual shooting victim. Police arrested the man for possessing the aforementioned revolver, and the gunshot noise was from when the man dropped the weapon.

So in response poor Shep Smith, possibly the only reasonable on air personality still at Fox News, had to do this:

Leave it to Fox News to invent a story of the police shooting a black man in the back, right after the city of Baltimore finally calms down after rioting over the actual death of a black man at the hands of the police.

Boy that is some good journalism.
