Sarah Palin Blows Stephen Colbert’s Security Cover, On Twitter

Many Wonkette readers may “moonlight” as viewers of the Stephen Colbert television show, hooray. In recent weeks Colbert has made jokes about the security situation surrounding his trip to the vague “Persian Gulf” area at some point in the next few months. Thanks to Sarah Palin, we now know that this will be in Iraq, in June. Which was obvious enough (maybe?) but still… Twitter + Sarah Palin. [Videogum, Twitter]

    She’s getting herself confused with Lisa Ann. Again. Also.

    No finer example of who puts the Twit in Twitter.

    Sarah Palin gave Stephen Colbert a hummer? What ever happened to family values?

    Thanks to your link, I see that the Governess is now in a meeting to “progress new energy.” Apparently, in the early 1970’s at least One Child was Left Behind.

    holy crap her twitter page is nightmarish

  6. Crab1 says at 4:17 pm, May 29th, 2009

    How many US Americans are left that have not received a hummer from that cum dumpster? 17? 25?

  7. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 4:20 pm, May 29th, 2009

    It appears from Sarah’s Twatwaffle page that she’s reverted back to buying clothes off the racks at Wal-Mart and accessorizing them with fossilized bear shit.

  8. Real Talk says at 4:21 pm, May 29th, 2009

    Wow, Just wow…

  9. V572625694 says at 4:23 pm, May 29th, 2009

    Crab1: Not me!

  10. T. Way says at 4:24 pm, May 29th, 2009

    Jim, what makes you think we watch Colbert? I speak for everyone here when I say that Wonkette is enough. (I don’t have a TV, anyway. I hog the computer all day at the library, refreshing Wonkette.)

  11. Suds McKenzie says at 4:24 pm, May 29th, 2009

    “I personally believe that U.S.American, uh, some people out there in our nation don’t have maps, and, uh, I believe that our soldiers like such as in, uh, the Iraq everywhere like, such as and I believe that they should, our comedians over here in the US should help the US, er, should help So help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children.”

    Sara ;)

  12. Monsieur Grumpe says at 4:25 pm, May 29th, 2009

    Sarah doesn’t need to go on the Colbert Report. She’s self parodying.

  13. BobLoblawLawBlog says at 4:25 pm, May 29th, 2009

    She and Geraldo should get together and have the dumbest national security kids ever. Also.

  14. ManchuCandidate says at 4:26 pm, May 29th, 2009

    Who does she think she is? Gerry Rivers aka Geraldo Rivera?

  15. Canmon (the Inadequate) says at 4:26 pm, May 29th, 2009

    “It’s official: 13 ethics complaints against me & my office have now been dismissed by personnel board!”

  16. Come here a minute says at 4:27 pm, May 29th, 2009

    This twatting snowbilly grifter isn’t fit to wear a WRISTSTRONG bracelet. (Also probably wouldn’t contribute to the Yellow Ribbon Fund.)

  17. ManchuCandidate says at 4:27 pm, May 29th, 2009

    BobLoblawLawBlog:
    Damn you. Jinx.

  18. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 4:28 pm, May 29th, 2009

    T. Way: refreshing Wonkette.

    Stop that. Ken is sleepy.

  19. Custerwolf says at 4:28 pm, May 29th, 2009

    “awesome troops.”
    If I were in the same room as Palin and she were to say those two words, in just the way we are all familiar with how she would say those two words, she would not be finished pronouncing that last ’s’ before I’d have whipped out my leatherman, sliced every major vessel in her scrawny neck - and spun them all into a cat’s cradle for her new little bastard grandchild to play with.

  21. Hooray For Anything says at 4:29 pm, May 29th, 2009

    Maybe she’ll be there to help Colbert with security what with all her experience shooting things from helicopters.

  22. jetjaguar says at 4:33 pm, May 29th, 2009

    I bet keyboard cat is basically forced to follow Sarah around all day, every day.

  23. Texan Bulldoggette says at 4:37 pm, May 29th, 2009

    I bet she’s one of those RWers who thinks Colbert is really a conservative & doesn’t understand satire. She is either really stupid (which is a given) or really desperate to get back in the news…& it was such a nice quiet run there for 2 days with no news from Snowbilly.

  24. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 4:37 pm, May 29th, 2009

    BobLoblawLawBlog: ManchuCandidate: Look at it this way, at least we can look forward to someone smacking her in the face with a chair.

  25. Cathangover says at 4:38 pm, May 29th, 2009

    Shout-Out? Isn’t that something jazz musicians do?

  26. T. Way says at 4:44 pm, May 29th, 2009

    ManchuCandidate: Ken must be sleepy considering his output lately. What’s he down to, a post in the afternoon and then one at an odd night hour?

    T. Way: Anyway, I’m sure hard workers like Jim would tell us if there’s anything funny about politics on cable TV.

  27. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 4:45 pm, May 29th, 2009

    Also, I hope to never read the words “Sarah Palin blows Stephen Colbert” again in any context, ever. I mean, damn, y’all.

  28. Monsieur Grumpe says at 4:49 pm, May 29th, 2009

    Suds McKenzie:
    I hate the smileys.

  29. This is only interesting if she’ll be wearing a burqa on the trip.

  30. SayItWithWookies says at 4:51 pm, May 29th, 2009

    Colbert won’t be in any danger — by Iraq, Palin means Kuwait, but near the border.

  31. V572625694 says at 4:54 pm, May 29th, 2009

    T. Way: As the Ken Layne Media Empire grows to Murdochian proportions, we Wonketteers, who gave him his start, are left behind. Ken, Ken! Remember me? I knew you back in ‘04!

  32. user-of-owls says at 5:05 pm, May 29th, 2009

    Cathangover: No, it’s something you spray on stains before you put something in the washing machine. To get out the taint.

  33. taylormattd says at 5:11 pm, May 29th, 2009

    V572625694: “back in ‘04″? Isn’t that when Annamarie’s Cock was still here writing only about Anal?

  34. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 5:22 pm, May 29th, 2009

    TGY: She can just slip this on and problem solved!

  35. bonghitsforjesus says at 6:34 pm, May 29th, 2009

    Sarah, why do you hate our troops?

  36. zhubajie says at 6:50 pm, May 29th, 2009

    Take what’s her name, Bristol; our boys in Iraq need all the women they can get.

    Zhu Bajie

  37. zhubajie says at 6:53 pm, May 29th, 2009

    Crab1: Any port in a storm! You realize most soldiers are at the age of maximum horninness, and neither Bush nor Obama has seen to arrange R&R in Thailand or wherever your favorite sex tourism place is.

    Of course, the three four major forms of communication: telephone, television, teleprompter, telecunt.

  39. the problem child says at 10:38 pm, May 29th, 2009

    What’s a twit to do? Also, too, she hadn’t yet figured out what to wear,so didn’t want to actually announce an appearance that she would then back out of.

  40. Go Figure says at 1:38 am, May 30th, 2009

    Blinky Palin is all a twitter about being in the spotlight!!!

    Will she wear her Beauty Queen Bathing Suit?

    Will she field dress a Camel?

    Parade the new Ambassador of Abstinence in front of the boys???

  41. Bruno says at 6:30 pm, May 30th, 2009

    SayItWithWookies: Yes, certainly Kuwait. If you can see the country (or land there to refuel) or are generally close, it counts as foreign policy experience. Like how my stopover in Iceland made me an expert in the politics in Greenland.

  42. lulzmonger says at 12:12 am, May 31st, 2009

    In what respect, Ch … I can see Iraq from my … during my guest-spot, also, I want to bring up the way it relates to health- … say it ain’t so, Ste-.

    Fuck. I think I’ve finally come down with Palinosis. The mere idea of seeing her beaming lizard face again on my laptop makes me taste puke.

    Someone, please, make her stop.
