Wonkette
Sarah Palin’s in the news, everyone! For, let’s see here, lying. While most of her recent lies have been about covering up how that young man, Levi, this one is about how she told the media that she thought Sen. Mark Begich should resign so there can be a “fair” election between him and the very innocent Ted Stevens. The lie she’s telling, of course, is that she NEVER SAID THIS.
From the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, the only decent journalistic establishment in this godforsaken country:
At a press conference Friday morning in her Capitol office, Palin claimed she never said Begich should step down.
Alaska Republican Party Chairman Randy Ruedrich issued a press release calling for Begich to step down and for a new election shortly after the news broke that Stevens’ charges may be dropped.
In an e-mail response to the News-Miner, Palin said “I absolutely agree.”
She clarified she agreed with Ruedrich’s call for a new election and for Begich to step aside until that happens.
A question on her call for a new election was among many posed at the Friday press conference.
“I didn’t call for Begich to step down, either,” Palin said. “I said I absolutely agree that Alaskans deserve a fair, untainted election for the United States senate seat. I’m not splitting hairs on how that happens. I’m saying wonderful, good. I want to see an election that is fair, that isn’t influenced unduly by some announcement that the sitting senator was facing a multi-felony count conviction. That’s what we were told. Now, come to find out, that wasn’t the case.”
[...]
By state law, Begich, a Democrat and former Anchorage mayor, would have to step down in order for a new election to take place.
Uhhh time to fly to Indiana, bye!
Palin says she never asked Begich to resign [News-Miner]
Oh hell, I guess it’s better than having her daughter’s
babydaddy all but say she practically served Bristol’s
little teenage coochie up like so much caviar.
God, that trash-pot is such a terrible liar, also.
“I absolutely agree that Alaskans deserve a fair, untainted election for the United States senate seat. I’m not splitting hairs on how that happens.”
So if Begich should wait until his term is over in six years, you’re good with that too? I hope so, ’cause it sorta sounded like you didn’t care whether he stepped down or somebody cut his brake lines — which I’m sure you certainly didn’t mean, ’cause that would be terrorism, which you can’t stand.
I do not split hairs. That is why my coif is so big. Also.
correction! not caviar — moose burgers.
Sarah’s too busy readin’ alla them rilly great newspapers and magazines to go quotin’ herself accurately, also.
There is an element of truthyness here.
Also, there is more intrigue, here! http://www.shortsshortsshorts.com/?p=1836 Palin just can’t do anything right!
You cannot “untaint” anything. Trusssst me.
InsidiousTuna: Are you pimping that blog of falsehood and error?
“While most of her recent lies have been about covering up how that young man, Levi, this one is about how she told the. . . ”
wait - “how that young man, Levi” - what?
what did “that young man Levi” do?
you don’t say in this sentence what her recent lies are about.
did this guy do something?
This is getting to be a meme with the Republicans. Lose an an election, then immediatly ask that another election be held because the first one didn’t realy reflect the will of the people… because they lost.
Is anyone else getting Support Sarah PAC ads along the sidebar there?
Is it wrong to want to hate-fuck someone so much?
SayItWithWookies: “I’m not splitting hairs…” In this instance the sobriquet “cunt hair” is entirely appropriate.
Wait, Snowbilly actually had a press conference where she talked to the librul media eleetes? I thought she was only allowed to converse with God, the first dewd, Greta & Hannity/Limbaugh–in that order?
Sarah Palin has the judgment of am ill-informed wildebeest. Alaska is probably better off waking up as a collective State every morning to place hot irons on manly-bits and liquid nitrogen on lady-bits. Somebody sent us a wonderful article detailing her choice of KKK endorsing, wife beating advocate Attorney General pick, W.A.R. InsidiousTuna: Yes that is the one.
doggone gotcha journalism; always using elitist facts and what-have-yous, also.
Before I used to think she was just ignorant and stupid. Now I realize she has the memory of a goldfish, and for this I have a mild amount of pity. In a similar sort of way to when I feed a hamster to a python.
I can’t wait for when she gets politically defeated and ends up with a show on Fox News.
Cute…Sarah’s wearing her Bo suit.
Ha! Old Denby’s on the local NPR affiliate defending his book! NPR is featuring a comment thread from a local blog that is not really “snark” but “name calling.”
Damn! I almost got on the air. The screener was about to put me on. Sorry guys, I tried.
Is that picture taken at the spot Todd threw his magic crystal into the tundra and then Sarah went to visit him when he was all depressed about not being able to stop Richard Pryor’s super computer or something?
Are all White House Press Conferences this bad?
I think she stores all of her lies in that humongous jawbone of hers.
I really do.
Unless she had a fuck room set up for Begich in her house like Levi, I don’t care what she says or does.
arclight: Maybe we’ll get a CAMPBELL BROWN size sidebar!! Please!! She could wear mukluks and a furry parka!
She also said that STEVENS should step down back in October. Remember? What a fraudulent piece of gutter slush.
AnnieGetYourFun: Oh yeah!! I love how the sun reflects off the Alaska snows (or maybe Russian snows across the water) to bathe her face in an ethereal light.
Oh wait… maybe that’s a banner ad for the Hustler parody porn vid.
Nope - SarahPAC!! Clicky-clicky.
Kev-O-Tron: He’s back? Jesus Christ. Oh, on The Conversation. I think he was on Weekday a few weeks ago. I waited on hold for, like, a half hour.
V572625694: Pretty sure that tundra has been drilled to numbness by many before you.
Cape Clod: It’s funny how much Republican tactics are informed by Soviet era Russian politics. Late Soviet era, when they stopped openly murdering dissidents, that is.
After reading this, I think I finally really get the syntactic message of “also”…also.
AnnieGetYourFun: Yep, the conversation. I think we have him afraid, he didn’t mention Wonkette once. The screener asked me my name and neighborhood and then asked “do you flame?” I was kind of stumped for a minute. If “flame” is an acceptable term for what we’re doing here than count me out.
Two highlights: a woman caller was banned from commenting on Seattle Times’ website for using a racist word and her defense was that comments using homophobic language are allowed to stand. Hmm.
They read a comment thread from Slog where two people call each other “wussies” about twenty times.
High snark, that.
Kev-O-Tron: AnnieGetYourFun: Does not KUOW know that we are a War Blog and will not be toyed with?
InsidiousTuna: tunamelt: Battle of the Tunas!
Texan Bulldoggette: This is the Alaska media. As became pretty obvious when confronted with the librul media eleetes, a different standard is required to excel up there
Does this have anything to do with who really gave birth to Trig? If not, I don’t care.
Kev-O-Tron: Are you sure that the call screener was not hitting on you? Or maybe Denby asked for him to screen for dates?
Palin just can’t do anything right!
Palin = Bush with tits!
PALIN, TEABAGGERS, FREEDUMBS, ALL DIE
Jesus was a terrible liar.
jokahmon: her daughter, repeatedly in a little teenage hump-den that Palin set up in her house.
AnnieGetYourFun: I think so, but I can’t see through the starbursts on my monitor.
El Pinche: Jesus was placed on earth by Satan to deceive us.
You know, bloggers could reduce their number of Palin posts by a factor of 10 if they just reported on when she told the truth or did something competently. Posting about Palin as a liar or a failure is the political epitome of “dog bites man.”
prophet1195:
Palin =
BushReagan with tits!/corrected
Kev-O-Tron: Which word would you have called him 3 times before they cut you off?
Perhaps someone told her that “do overs” isn’t a US America tradition and that she better play nice nice with Senator B or she won’t be getting as much of that sweet sweet US America Fed lower 48 cash as she did under Uncle Teddy especially since the other senator really hates Snowbunny’s guts for taking down her daddy.
tunamelt: hey, be nice to iTuna. You have your man now…..let him find the few pleasures he can now that spawning with you is off limits.
I’m sure she’ll find a way to blame Katie Couric
Kev-O-Tron: “Do you flame?” As in, “are you a bigger homo than Rick Warren?” I think the KUOW listening range is the dead-zone of snark. That’s why we hang out on a DC Gossip site.
I’m a lying twat in what respect, Charlie?
Is she being birthed out of a moose vagina? (Not that she had glasses on in utero or anything)
WadISay: you never said, “I’m a lying twat in what respect, Charlie?”
Palin = Bush Reagan with tits!
Palin = Rush with tits
Oh, wait. Rush already has some pretty hefty man-boobs. Sorry for the confusion.
AnnieGetYourFun: Yes. Disturbing. also.
shortsshortsshorts: And brown people are indecisive :

“i never said that that dog should shit. i only stated that the dog and the shit should become physically separate, however that should come about.”
If that photo is accurate, and Palin has discovered the Fortress of Solitude, then we are truly and goodly fucked. Kneel before Zod!
Kev-O-Tron: HA! YOUR THE WUSSY!1!!
(You’re right, it just doesn’t have any ‘kick,’ does it? My daughter could call me that, and it wouldn’t bother me. Especially if I was acting like a wussy.)
Lionel Hutz Esq.: KUOW has gotten pretty wussified since I was a regular listener back in the 80’s.
ProfessorJukes: The SarahPac should give out the video as a “free-gift” to
peoplemen who donate. Yes, I AM a marketing professional!NunnaTheSOBs: Sarah eats caviar. Russians lob the little jars onto her porch and she puts it on her mooseburgers with the ketchup.
Lascauxcaveman: They have their moments, and I listen to them on the weekend more than KPLU, but it is a shame that most of their midday programming is pretty boring. But, hey, at least we have Too Beautiful To Live in the evenings. First decent thing on radio after drive time around here in a long time.
Clickity click on Sarah PAC so that Wonkette can pay the bills.
She’s just where she needs to be. Alaska needs her in Alaska. We all need for her to be in Alaska.
Now I know why she keeps standing so close to that block of ice. Her pants are on fire.
Bruno: Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.
PerhapsSo: I need proof, otherwise I will be made to feel quite foolish.
AnnieGetYourFun: Yes, and clicking through makes Ken Layne rich! Rich, I tell you, $$$RICH$$$!!!
Oh yummy! More Sarah Pain. The noninvasive cure for erectile disfunction.
AnnieGetYourFun: YES I’m getting it….but not convinced to click on it over and over and over again. What the Fuck? I’m hitting the military special v. right NOW.
Kev-O-Tron: I think that “do you flame” meant that they were asking if you are flamboyantly gay.
LFC: Yeah, but what fun would that be?
Great quote on Olberman tonight. ‘Matching Governor Palin’s political ambition to her intelligence is like hooking up a jet engine to a golf cart.’
Spiderfrommars: I’ve moved on. I wantsta teabag Sara!
i’d have an eentsy tiny wheeentsy little tiny little bit of respect for her if she was an accomplished liar. i’m an american, as such i appreciate a really convincing lie and expect my government to deceive me with style. this was the last administrations greatest failing.
“Untainted” she really said that? fucking priceless.
Lets see Sara and Rush 2012, no , Sara and Joe the Plumber 2012. I like it.
I hope she tells Joe what the Vices role is. Wander if she’s found out yet what a Vices role is? Couldn’t beleive Biden let that slide, but he is a true Gentleman, RIGHT!!!!
V572625694: Is it wrong to want to hate-fuck someone so much?
Not if that someone is Michele Bachmann.
I wonder if she’s there to find her power animal. And I wonder if it’s a disemboweled moose.
