Fox News pays Sarah Palin $1 million a year to pretend to remain relevant. That works out to something like $50,000 per blather. Good work, if you get it.
To fulfill that onerous contractual obligation, Palin recently appeared on Greta Van Susterens propaganda-fest, On the Record. To be fair, Van Susteren does a great job of keeping a straight face, which can be quite challenging when Sarah Palin is your guest.
Failin Palin wanted to rev up that old right-wing indignation machine, so this is what Palin said to Van Susteren:
Name one prominent Republican who even comes close to what the Alan Graysons, the Joe Bidens, the Harry Reids come up with and spew to the American public. I cant think of one prominent Republican who talks the way that they talk.
Frankly, we think that the term spew seems a bit harsh. Its more like a gentle flow of genuineness, a steady stream of simple truth.
Now, as for Ms. Attila from Wasilla, its tempting to compare whatever she says to a babbling brook. But in her case, spew is a better description. As well as excrete, disgorge, ooze, discharge, expel, erupt, gush, and spit up. Because as Jon Stewart quickly pointed out on The Daily Show, regarding Palins interview, people who live in glass houses should not throw grenades.
After quoting Palin, Stewart asked, Are the Republicans [like Palin] really in the moral high-ground position on the issue of divisive anger and hate vis-à-vis their opponents? . . . Are Republicans really that blind to the depths of their own vitriol?
Stewart then ran clips of these Palin verbal cow-patties, as well as others:
10/4/08 - Our opponent {Barack Obama} is someone who sees America as imperfect enough to pal around with terrorists.
3/17/10 - They [the Democrats] are like a bunch of dead fish.
8/1/11 - {Arizona Governor} Jan Brewer has the cojones that our President does not have.
6/15/12 - {In President Obamas autobiography there is} all that pot-smoking and that cocaine-snorting and what he ate: Fido.
6/29/12 - Nancy Pelosi is a dingbat.
And then, of course, there was that time when Palin came to Orlando to campaign against Alan Grayson in 2010, and the sum and substance of her critique was to call Grayson a jackwagon.
You can add to the list of Alan Graysons accomplishments this very important one: Alan Grayson seems to drive Sarah Palin crazy. Or crazier. Even more crazy.
Please show your support for Alan Grayson, the Anti-Palin. Refudiate her!

(29 posts)No Sarah, Alan Grayson speaks truth to power and encourages the rest of us to do the same. You, on the other hand, are a constant source of ever flowing moose crap.

Before Failin slithers back under the rock from which she came, I would like to see Greyson and her debate. If she is such a badass and knows better than any Progressive, I want to see her go face to face with him. She is all mouth and a coward so it would never happen.
