Palin: Rooting Through the Trash

WC’s self-imposed June moratorium on all things Palin has expired. Caribou Barbie has been very busy the last thirty days. But it was quite pleasant ignoring her. WC recommends the tactic to his readers. Rather than try to find anything new in the Queen of Preen’s act, WC offers the following accumulated detritus from his in-box:

Dan Ackroyd: “JaneSarah, you ignorant slut.”
Jane Curtin: “Dan, you pompous ass.”

- “Weekend Update,” Saturday Night Live, 1977-1978

Anonymous Tweet: “Sarah Palin has outsourced her public speaking to Salad Shooter, oops, wrong link, SaladShooter. It explains the ‘word salad’ effect in all of her speeches. She reportedly outsources the rest of her mental capacities to Glenn Beck.”

Sarah Palin’s legal defense fund was busted as unethical by Tim Petumenous. That’s the same Tim Petumenous who gave her a pass on Troopergate.

Palin’s allies issued an error-riddled, ill-considered attack on Petumenous’s findings, blaming those evil Democrats. Jean Devon has an amusing markup over on Mudflats.

The fabulous Mr. Whitekeys has a nice video spoof of the Quitter that’s pretty cute. Cyndi Lauper may not be amused, but WC was.

A substantial portion of Palin’s speech at CSU Stanislaus was devoted to criticizing the students who found Palin’s partially shredded, draft contract in the university trash. Of course, if the ex-gov truly believed in the transparency she espouses, she’d simply tell the public what the contracts terms were, and no one would have to perform “investigative journalism.”

WC was especially amused by the tea baggers who came to Stanislaus to demonstrate in support of Palin, carrying placards reading, “Support Free Speech.” Children, Alaska’s Shame doesn’t do free speeches. Six figures and bendy straws, please.
