Oh, For Fox Sake… She’s Back.
Fox News has a brand new commentator, worthy of their rich and storied journalistic tradition.
It’s Sarah Palin!
And it’s dejà vu, all over again.
Today, Alaska’s former half-term governor once again debuted on America’s “Fair and Balanced” network. Bespangled in a ruffly pink sequined shirt and five-inch spiky heels, she shared what she’s been up to, since her ash-canning from the network in January.
In case you were worrying that her literary voice had fallen silent on the issues of the day, fear not.
“I am doing great, very busy, of course, with my two beautiful grandkids,” she said. “I’m writing a book about Christmas and pushing back on the politically correct who have tried to take Christ out of Christmas … at the same time a very festive and happy and jolly book about tradition and recipes and fun things about Christmas!”
Yay! Christmas recipes to go with your kneejerk rhetorical religious paranoia!
The Mudflats would humbly like to submit a recipe to Sarah Palin for consideration. We think it will really hit the spot.
The Mudflats’ No-Bake Peace on Earth Puddin’
Ingredient: one fluffy slipper-sock, preferably in festive Christmas colors
Directions: Insert into mouth of ex-half-governor, close mouth.
Serves: The world! Enjoy.
She also spoke about that cutting edge news story that’s been so little discussed in recent months – Benghazi. She pointed out that “Obama lied, and people died.” You may recall that this expression was first coined when a certain Republican President purposefully lied us into a war. But it wasn’t like the War on Christmas or anything book-worthy.
And anyway, that was then, and this is now, so let’s focus on Democratic hypocrisy, and chewing our Republican cud. Erp! There it comes again…
Not much separates $arah Palin from the Kardashians, Paris Hilton, Snookie and the “Octomom”. Someone should tell $arah that her 15 minutes of fame are over.
Yes she is stirring up a hornet’s nest indeed with that racket about “let Allah sort it out”…raised eyebrows…
Ok…Sarah…one you missed your meds yapping like that…two you better increase your security detail now…
three what’s up with the face work done…oh Sarah…rehab and a break from your “bubble world” is needed…

Todd Palin Is Always There to Support Sarah Palin:

The Democratic political operatives and humorous journalists everywhere are popping champagne corks. The Republicans lost the last two presidential elections largely due to Palin and folks like her scaring the mainstream electorate that a delusional idiot like Palin, Bachmann or Perry could actually get their sweaty hands on the nuclear codes.
Nickelback – Shakin Hands…
Korn – Twisted Transistor
AKPi: Spot on!
Just a minute folks – what happened to the book on healthy living (diet, exercise, etc). that Palin was supposed to be writing? Did she quit that, too? Maybe didn’t want to run into competition from Martha Stewart, who has just come out with a book on that subject. And Martha always does a first-class job on her publications!
The Daily Show weighs in:

That was hilarious. I saw it when it aired, and about fell off the couch laughing.”She has effectively quit…quitting!
Brilliant!
I can honestly say I’ve only watched ~5 minutes of Faux News.
In reality its probably less than 5 min.
Last time I listened to The Quitter, she sounded so jilted and mad. Now she’s writing a Christmas themed book about baby Jesus not being there for the birth on Dec 25th?
So, ah, I’m confused about this politically correct war on Christmas and that whole taking baby Jesus out of the manger.
Did someone steal baby Jesus and The Quitter is out to put him back in the manger?
Ah yeah… LoL
First reference to “dog in the manger”-William Bullein’s A Dialogue Against the Feuer Pestilence,1584-
Like vnto cruell Dogges liying in a Manger,Neither eating the Haye theimselves ne suffering the Horse to feed thereof hymself.
Palin is in the manger and plans to stay there to prevent the baby jeebus from returning so rethugs can accuse Libs of politicizing Christmas.. Seems to me Bill Orally at Fake Noise started this non-sense and Snookie fell for it.
FOX News must love Half-Baked Alaska, a fluffy dessert lacking in nutrition and calories.
Jason Easley’s take on it is worth a read, IMO:
http://www.politicususa.com/2013/06/13/sarah-palin-takes-pay-cut-walk-shame-fox-news.html
Snookie was paid $15.85 per word last time around,according to some uni-perfessor in Minnesota. She is too lame for lamestream media. Guffaw!
O-fer…..Fake Noise rice beer. I edited the headlines so Fauxknee Noise viewers can understand it.
Holy moley, Fox must have realized that taking down the studio they built in their backyard was costlier than a few nasty soundbites from Wasilla. This whole lead up to 2014 is just gross. I am still amazed at how much I despise this person.
“…very busy…with my two beautiful grandkids…”
Who is raising her two school-age children?
Personally, I am delighted that somewhere a formerly-starving ghostwriter is going to get to write 5,000 words about the birth of the Christ-child, add some cake-mix and-diet-7up recipes, and get paid for it.
probably her BFF on page 16 of her first book…that way they keep that “ripe tomato” secret hid well…lol…
Well. Finally.
Jeanne, you are a very erudite writer. There is no excuse, however, to have baby-bubbled the Tundra Boo Boo and ilk.
You have bigger, more meaningful things to write about. So I guess that is a legit reason why you backed off from the expose. Shailey could have used your clout.
I’m not seeing her around for a very long time at all. I hear CNN launched a new morning show today (not interested enough to find out) and I noticed that the resident F&F bimbo was absent, so what I’m seeing is a summer job for Sarah if she can last that long considering she may be expected to actually work.
Sequined bed-jackest and sequined mini-skirts with hooker heels are so appropriate for middle-aged women appearing on morning television, aren’t they? Please keep this in mind if you’re in your fiftieth year like Sarah. The contrast with the perfectly-groomed elegant one-time beauty queen Megyn Kelly was impossible to miss.
It’s hard to say what’s more embarrassing to Alaskans: Sarah’s big head full of stupid or Sarah’s big wardrobe full of p*rn movie costumes.
okay, somebody pls correct me here… but with the whoop-de-do about 40% of households with the woman the main breadwinner, and this being a detrimental event on the American Family Values, how does Scarah spin her making more $ than Todd as a good thing? Isn’t she contributing to the downfall of the Traditional American.. Family? ,,,, and didn’t Todd quit working in the oil fields? Does he qualify as a dead beat husband, or is he on the payroll at Sarah Pac?…
Oh no, belomond2, don’t you have a pair of the ever-popular (and most stylish!) Super-Duper, Ever-Timely, Handy-Dandy Blinders [patent pending, ;-)], yet?
If you didn’t already know, they’re essential wear for GOTPers …and for RWNJs in particular. And they’re *beyond* crucial for anyone attempting to make even a modicum of sense out of anything any of the “‘rill ‘muricans” espouse, do, and inevitably, convolute.
Maybe you should seriously think about getting yourself a pair; they’ve pretty much saved my sanity. I think you can order a pair of ’em from the folks over at FOX. Good luck! beth.
I’ll order a set, IF they don’t clash with my tin foil hat… 🙂
The title of this thread says it all. The words of the article simply illustrate the appropriateness and accuracy of the thread’s spot-on title. And those words, as is always the case with insight from Mudflats Central, do so magnificently well.
I’ve got the popcorn all set to go and anxiously anticipate hours and Hours and HOURS of jaw-droppingly cringe-worthy ‘entertainment’ from the crude, graceless, reality-bereft foxer featured. beth.
I can survive this time too… as long as AKM is around to guide us through.
please, please, please get us through, AKM. I promise I won’t yarf on the carpet here .
One key factor that has altered campaign coverage comes from the corporate right in the form of “conservative” media. If there has been a vacuum created by the downsizing of newsrooms, conservative media have filled it with an insistent partisanship unseen in commercial news media for nearly a century. – http://www.salon.com/2013/06/15/from_fox_news_to_rush_secrets_of_the_rights_lie_machine/
Palin fills that journalistic void, which is on par with her other assumed ‘expertise,’ in energy, parenting, parenting special needs, economics, governing, marriage, punditry, book-writin, comic sketches, speechifying, stategery and progressin Alaska and whatnot.
Palin IS a journalistic void.
Just the same word salad … Where did she learn to speak? She has the most ridiculously pompous way of attempting to look intelligent with a speaking style that is truly her own as it is impossible to map any type of rational word placement in her sentences. It is simply bizarre. Help me out here people! Where did this come from? Nobody in Alaska frames their thoughts in this manner. There is a breakdown between logical pathways in her brain and her vocal chords.
your last sentence is in error.. for a normal person, it could apply,, but “logical pathways in her brain”… no such item located within… it’s just mirrors reflecting random statements,.. bouncing them back and forth, back and forth….. until one finally escapes to be released for our entertainment….
I think if you listen to any beauty contestant reply to something that might give you a hint. 🙂
