Sarah Palin on First Amendment rights
Aug. 11th, 2010 04:37 pmFirst, let me say that I don't consider myself affiliated with any one party or philosophy, instead steering by common sense, life experience, and my questionable personal values.
That said, you know exactly why I don't like a camera-hogging, fish-trawling wannabe like Sarah Palin. Not. At. All. To me, she's still riding a wave from two years ago, spearheading what will be a terrible crash of theRepublican Tea Party this November. For all of the attention she gets from anti-incumbent voters, Palin represents precisely the opposite agenda: ride the establishment for all it's worth. Again, my opinion, so...yeah.
This video, courtesy HuffPost, so very illustrates the immense, hypocritical douchebaggery of media darlings in politics. Appeal to the voter's anger and convince them you know what you're talking about. Get a TV show, suck some head on FoxNews, and jiggle her eye-winking assets, you've got a star.
All that said, you'll understand exactly why I love moments where she can't speak with any conviction without crib notes on her palm. After toting the TLC cameras around on a faux-commercial fishing trip, she's confronted with Kathleen Gustafson unrolling a banner reading "worst governor ever". Kathleen, a local teacher and wife to a "real" fisherman, let Palin know exactly what she thought. Kathleen called like it is: "You're not a leader, you're a climber!" Facing a camera-hogging reality star playing up the pretense of actually caring about commercial fisheries, Kathleen was good and pissed. Thus, the banner. Palin, ever the idiot, decided to walk right on up and talk to her, jiggly winks and all. Notice how Todd and Co try to block the one guy getting video of the encounter. I'l note here that following this exchange, said entourage tore down Kathleen's sign. Please read the full story on HuffPost.
