our quitted gubner of gaffes and spinner of saucy word salad was at it again this week:
yesterday on her pal glenn beck's show:
"This speaks to a bigger picture here that certainly scares me in terms of our national security policy," the former vice presidential candidate said on Wednesday. "But obviously we've gotta stand with our North Korean allies."
confusing north and south korea, was a mistake. fair enough we all make 'em and most of us aren't on tv having to talk about stuff we don't know anything about, and few of us feel the same visceral imperative to stay in the spotlight. she fled to the safety of her fans and facebook page and retaliated by posting links of obama's verbal gaffes. instead of just laughing it off, "oops!" kinda thing, she then wadded her panties all up in a sissy bunch and whined how whenever she makes a mistake (c'mon ms. palin it's often enough that my google alert would 'spolde, ok?)the lamestream media jumps on it and runs and blows it up and i was tired and it's not fair cuz why do you people still like barry? huh, huh, why?
earlier in the week she gave up this little bit of gobbledy-gook:
"I want to help clean up the state that is so sorry today of journalism. And I have a communications degree. I studied journalism, who, what, where, when, and why of reporting"
the first bit of syntax made my head pound the desk and the fact that she forgot the "how" as to the 6th question that should be answered in any solid bit of reporting can likely be attributed to... um... not paying attention in school? or never reading newspapers?
someone with A LOT of time on their hands created this compendium and wasilla greatest hits which is brilliant and scary at the same time:
her high school gpa was 2.2 (maybe bristol is just too dumb after all for them to bother forking out dough for college)
she dropped out of 4 never-heard-of-bumfuck colleges before finally matriculating
compared legal abortions to the tuskegee experiments
like a tiny-town version of #43, she took over a government that had no debt and left it in the hole for $19 millz.
authorized an increase in the sales tax
increased salaries and bennies by 67%
spending on office furniture and supplies went up 117%
her staff of 50 cost the town an average of $140,000 each -- $7 million
she raised property taxes and supported an increase in the sales tax to pay for a sports arena
supported allowing parents to opt their children out of curricula offensive to their privacy, religion or conscience. (which worked brilliantly for not allowing bristol to take sex ed and is working great for the new, and ever-growing, breed of amuricans --including palin- who take the bible literally)
she also admits to having smoked pot. how on earth did i not hear about that when she and her slutty stewardess hairdo were EVERYWHERE in '08? huh? c'mon, lamestream media? how unfair are you?
lots more there, but i want to give myself head-space for something less, um, noisome, tyvm.
the story that inspired my previous post was an awful read on thanksgiving eve.
so just as another side of the coin option, let's remember what might happen to other girls who are supposed to be abstinent. they get knocked up too.
but their mom is white and purty and famous (and famously polarizing) so they get to galoomph their cankles and notorious uterus all over tv. "dancing with the who-the-fuck-is-that-anyway," has brought the palins weeks and weeks of free publicity, tens of thousands of dollars into bristol's bank account, and all sorts of bizarro tea-bagger shenanigans against the "liberal elite." (newsflash to baggers: we are not watching dwts, ok? having even to hear about it is retarded. oh, wait, that's hate-speech. sorry babay trig.)
anybody else wonder why there is no plan for bristol for college? not like they can't afford it. is she too stoopid? bah. even her momz finally found a school where she could graduate but they've proven smart enough to milk the fame machine so she doesn't have to go to school or really work. by the weight she gained on this show (where everybody else drops to bones from the work-outs), i'm athinking lazeeeeee factors hard-core in there too.
white and rich sure does beat black and poor, huh?
last january, in allegheny pennsylvania, a pregnant woman died from pneumonia that she contracted while in prison. she complained for weeks to the guards that she was having trouble breathing and was coughing up mucous. they refused to allow her to see a doctor. a sick pregnant woman. IN JAIL. by the time she was sent to the hospital it had become a bacterial infection so severe it could not be cured and she died 12 days later.
she was in prison because she got pregnant on her work-release and it was a violation of her probation. her probation was for shoplifting. food. she also had a previous conviction for prostitution. without it being stated in any of the linked articles i found, i suspect this woman came from a dire economic stance. she was black and from a very depressed area of the country and her petty crimes are those borne of desperation, aren't they?
i'm flabbergasted enough that the state forbade her from getting knocked up (my body, my rights, and all that), especially since her crime had nothing to do with being a mom, fit or not. but if that is a stipulation, shouldn't they have provided her with birth control? was she in fact sentenced to abstinence?
but then, even putting aside this astounding patriarchal hysteria, how on the planet earth can putting a pregnant woman in the slammer be thought prudent and judicious? is that not cruel and unusual? and then for guards to play some sort of petty bullshit power game and deny her medical care? this noodle knows there are plenty of prisoners capable of gaming the system and just as many guards who can only function thinking their wards are pieces of shit to be scraped from the hell of their boots. but for the love of mary.
she was 18 weeks pregnant and now she's dead.
21st century amurrica.
