Sarah Palin has blasted the Politico for running a story quoting anoymous GOP establishment figures trashing her chances as a presidential candidate. In an email to the Daily Caller mocking the Politico's reporting practices, Palin wrote:

“I suppose I could play their immature, unprofessional, waste-of-time game, too, by claiming these reporters and politicos are homophobe, child molesting, tax evading, anti-dentite, puppy-kicking, chain smoking porn producers…really, they are… I’ve seen it myself…but I’ll only give you the information off-the-record, on deep, deep background; attribute these ‘facts’ to an ‘anonymous source’ and I’ll give you more.”

After reading this, I was reminded of Woody Allen in the role of a fictional Richard Nixon aide, who once said of the New York Times, "It's a New York, Jewish, Communist, left-wing, homosexual newspaper. And that's just the sports section.''

"Palin Channeling Woody Allen?" No, just Palin showing us that outside of Jim DeMint & Mike Pence she is the only member of The GOP with cajones to call the state-run media exactly what they are. The GOP "leadership" would wet their pants at just the thought of having to defend themselves against any false accusations made against them. Isn't that right Chairman Clouseau?

Palin's remarks were pretty funny-- alot better than some sitcums on teevee.

Snappy Sammy Foont:
"don't weewee on yer teevee"

We Tea Party Rebels are urging Our Kingmaker Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina to run for The Presidency in 2012.
We would welcome A Primary Showdown against Sarah Palin & resent any Ruling Class Elite GOP Bastards, who dare to attempt to back door her .

I love Sarah Palin, but she needs to get stealing from my posts.

Cordially,

Booger

Agreed. And may I stipulate that the title to this post is the most tooth grinding I have happened upon in recent memory. If shock value is what the author wanted... they got it.

Rove it right--Smilin' Sarah Palin is nothing but trouble for the GOP in '12. And that's a third generation Republican (me) saying it.

CalMark| 11.1.10 @ 8:39PM

You mean Rove, the "Genius" who orchestrated the near-loss of the 2004 election in a good economy to a brain-dead gigolo elitist?

Only an Establishment Ruling Class Blue Blood Country Clubber says things like "third generation Republican." And the credibility people like you have is...shall we say...not very high with the voters right now.

The day we have long awaited is at hand, all our forces are in place and ready. We attack at dawn. We will be victorious.

LOL, anti-dentite. Palin cuts the coasters some slack and provides them an historical reference they will recognize.

I LOVE THIS WOMAN!

Alice Moore| 11.2.10 @ 9:07AM

The GOP establishment has found that Sarah Palin is friends with a long time Veterinarian and engages in constant social intercourse with Thespians. The shame and the scandal!

This just in from Politico.

Peppermint Tea| 11.2.10 @ 10:22AM

Love the anti-dentite schtick.

Ken (Old Texican)| 11.2.10 @ 11:58AM

I have a sneaky suspicion that Sarah wrote that herself.
Regardless...hilarious!

There is just a heck of a lot more to this woman than a lot of people realize.

I'm awaiting my publisher's early copy of her new book from Amazon.com, and I will probably bust a gut keeping my thoughts on it to myself until you proles buy a copy yourselves. (grin)

I would love to see her and Demint 0n the same ticket. They would work well together.
