The Plot Against Sarah Palin

By GottaLaff

Hey kids! Red State perpetuates the Levi/Bristol/Tyra story so we don't have to! And they do that by inserting a big steaming pile of paranoia into it:

RedState.com blogger Josh Painter asks whether Levi Johnston, the father of Bristol Palin’s child, is being funded in his campaign of politically-inconvenient-to-Sarah Palin interviews by shadowy forces.

How did David Weigel of the Washington Independent get wind of that story (details to follow)?

I found out about this through a random oddball former Michigan Republican Party Chairman Saul Anuzis, who tweeted about it.

Now who am I to ignore a big fat juicy hunk of Red State? I toddled right over to their site and sliced off a choice morsel of rancid Rushpublic for you:

The Left’s media running dogs have most recently seized upon the troubles of two teenagers, playing the story of the split between Bristol Palin and her former finance Levi Johnston to the hilt and then some. An inordinate amount of attention is being given to young Levi, and the buzz from what he had to say before the cameras has dominated the gossip blogs and Leftist nutroots websites for the past week.

All of which led blogger Ron Devito to ask some very important questions:

“Why has no one asked the very basic question of how a job-less teenager drives an expensive truck and travels 4,400 miles with two adults in no better financial condition than himself to one of the most expensive cities in the world? There, he does a talk show circuit in which he engages in a crusade against a sitting Governor and her daughter with whom he was man enough to create a child but not man enough to provide for said child.”

Ask yourself what we have to do here to follow the money. As Ron points out, if we can nail down the source of the money, the motive will be apparent. We may even discover the shadowy figure who first sent down the marching orders to “Get Palin!”

Here's a question for Red Stateroony: Who's "engaging in a crusade" against a teenager now?

But that's not important now. What is important is solving the Mystery of the Century: Which evil shadowy owner of a bank vault filled with gold bullion is ordering his/her troops to march somewhere and "Get Palin!"? Could "Get Jindal!" or "Get Beck!" be far behind?

Wait! How the heck could anyone, rich or not, ever get Democrats to organize efficiently enough to march anywhere together, in a straight line, toward a mutual destination, and carry out orders in the first place?

Come to think of it, who even has the resources to fund anything any more? I have an idea! Let's engage in a new crusade. We can call it "Get Money!"

No wealth creation at all since 2001

Who was president from 2001-2008 again? Oh yeah...

The borrow and spend decade.

Paul Krugman: "Last week the Federal Reserve released the results of the latest Survey of Consumer Finances, a triennial report on the assets and liabilities of American households. The bottom line is that there has been basically no wealth creation at all since the turn of the millennium: the net worth of the average American household, adjusted for inflation, is lower now than it was in 2001."

But remember: It's the Obama Recession. Bush was just a passive observer of the events that befell him.
