Sarah Palin's Whirlwind Arrival in New York
The right-wing heartthrob knows how to make a white trash entrance
Sarah Palin’s crashlanding into New York has started off disastrous enough to be up to her standards, drawing headlines almost immediately upon touching down. The Thrilla from Wasilla just can’t seem to do anything without making a scene.
That’s because she really has no business leaving the house, yet the far-right does occasionally splash some cold water on her face and utilize her as a prop. So instead of popping pills from the comfort of her baby-proofed couch she has again been paraded into a public forum where she will inevitably leave behind her a tornado path of misinformation and nippers taken from a mini bar she’s not footing the bill for.
Palin has been named as a plaintiff against the New York Times, which published an editorial a few years ago stating that the attempted assassination of Rep. Gabby Giffords was motivated by a graphic that Palin’s PAC was circulating which showed Giffords’ district, along with several others, being “targeted” in crosshairs.
As it turned out the shooter wasn’t aware of the image and the Times was way off base, so they wrote an apology and that should have been the end of it.
However, a consortium of right-wing attention seekers rallied behind Palin and encouraged her to sue the Times for defamation. She went along with it because she likes attention and the M&M’S World store in Times Square.
The motivation of the lawsuit appears to be a generalized effort to garner bad press for the Times, as, much like Sarah Palin naming the three branches of government, this endeavor has no chance of success.
A secondary motivating factor is likely that if the lawsuit were to prevail, freedom of the press would be significantly curtailed, and the press are the enemy of the right-wing because they report actual information and not that Donald Trump’s velvety voice can silence the howls of rabid hyenas.
Palin, who is an outspoken opponent of Covid vaccines immediately contracted Covid, as you’d imagine. Skipping the five-day quarantine protocol, she went to a restaurant two days later, which is against code, not wearing a mask, which is against code, and got hammered and breathed on a bunch of fellow patrons, soliciting many of them to take pictures with her, which they were not interested in. She also started banging an old hockey player named Ron Duguay, like the small-town hockey groupie that she is.
She probably didn’t tip the server, outside of giving her Covid, and asked for a side of ketchup for her bolognese but that’s just conjecture.
This woman is the type of person you can look at from across the room and know you don’t want to talk to her. She appears perplexed at the words coming out of her own mouth, which makes sense because they are not well thought out. Following every statement she’ll glance to the side and smirk as if to convey, “Did I just really say that?”
Yes. You did. And what you said was without fail, stupid. This is a person who crusaded against contraception while her teenaged daughter got pregnant and didn’t appear to make the connection.
Can the right really not do any better in their search for a mascot? What is the left’s equivalent of this cheesecake tundra barbie?
If Fox News were to be sued for defamation, who would the left choose to nominate as the symbolic plaintiff? A coked-out Rose McGowan? Flea? Anthony Weiner?
That would be a noteworthy, yet the left doesn’t appear to worship people like Donald Trump and Sarah Palin who are definitively loud and embarrassing, they merely tolerate them.
In celebrating an oblivious idiot like Palin the right is showing their hand, that they assume all of their supporters are degenerates who would embarrass themselves immediately upon interacting with people in a major city.
They are right.
