Glenn Beck's First Guest on Fox: Sarah Palin

By GottaLaff

Palin on Beck's show back in June 2008

For someone who openly disdains the media and blames them for her own lack of lucidity (to put it mildly), Dippy McMoosebreath sure makes use of them on a regular basis:

Glenn Beck's 5pmET Fox News program premieres on Monday, and Politico's Michael Calderone reports his first guest is already set: Gov. Sarah Palin. [...]

FNC tells us the interview will be live, and Palin will appear via satellite from Alaska.

They deserve each other.

And since it's live TV, we're in for some superb sound bites, to be used to our advantage should Dippy feel the urge to run in 2012.

Quote-O'-The-Day: Palin blames media "power brokers" edition

By GottaLaff

::In my best whiny voice:: Oh ma-a-an, it wasn't her fault! She tried to avoid Couric and limit her interviews to Fox, but... but... nobody would listennnnn! Those stoopit ideeut dum-dum poopyhead power broker-r-rs!

"I knew it didn't go well the first day and then we gave her a couple of other segments after that. And my question to the campaign was, after it didn't go well the first day, why were we going to go back for more? Because of however it works in that upper echelon of power brokering in the media and with spokespersons, it was told to me that, yeah, we are going to go back for more. And going back for more was not a wise decision either."

-- Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, in an interview by documentary filmmaker John Ziegler, on her interviews with Katie Couric during the 2008 presidential campaign.

Palin's mistakes

By GottaLaff

Newsflash! Grandma Also admits nothing:

In an interview with Human Events, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) was asked about the biggest mistake she made in the 2008 presidential campaign.

Said Palin: "The biggest mistake made was that I could have called more shots on this: the opportunities that were not seized to speak to more Americans via media. I was not allowed to do very many interviews, and the interviews that I did were not necessarily those I would have chosen... But if I would have been in charge, I would have wanted to speak to more reporters because that's how you get your message out to the electorate."

Meanwhile, Washington Whispers notes a mistake Palin made after the campaign: She didn't return two phone calls from former President H.W. Bush.

Perhaps she thought they were prank calls.

Let's break that down. When Grandma Also did speak to the media, she was an inarticulate, blundering sack of ignorance. When she attempted to get out her message, it was one big smear campaign that egged on hate speech, violence, and lies.

The reason the interviews were ones she wouldn't necessarily have chosen was that they weren't all with Fox/sympathizers. As a result, she was either stumped by the simplest of questions, or rambled until her words got so convoluted that she somehow sounded coherent to herself. Nobody else, just herself. See: Fey, Tina.

Here are a few more details about that Bush 41 call:

...Whispers hears that former President George H.W. Bush is a bit miffed that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin hasn't returned his phone calls of congrats for a good effort in the presidential election. [...] When the subject of Palin came up during their chat, Bush told of twice phoning her office but never receiving a call back. The first message was left at McCain HQ after she was picked to be Sen. John McCain's veep; the second with the governor's office after the election was over. ...[O]ur source says he was clearly perplexed. A Palin aide says the guv didn't get the message, as odd as that sounds.

She fouls up everything she touches, she just can't seem to help herself.

Now imagine her finger on that Big Red Button. That would be one mistake she should never have the opportunity to make.
