Palin Hairdresser Corrects Terrible Smear Rumors About Balding

by Sara K. Smith

The Left fears her shiny coif.God bless Twitter, aka “man’s greatest achievement,” for enabling ordinary citizens to combat MSM smear campaigns against political heroes such as Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, whose entire political reputation emanates from deep within her thick, shiny hairdo.

One week ago, the New York Times irresponsibly published the following spurious claim, which was a million times worse than that time they said “Oh yeah Saddam has these aluminum tubes which he’s pretty definitely going to use to bomb us all”:

Friends worried that [Palin] appeared anxious and underweight. Her hair had thinned to the point where she needed emergency help from her hairdresser and close friend, Jessica Steele.

(Your own Wonkette made a similar suggestion a month previous, based solely on the wiggishness of Palin’s hair and the suspicion — not yet plausibly refuted! — that she is, in fact, Rudy Giuliani in drag.)

Anyhow, now Palin’s hairdresser is speaking truth to power, via one million heavily punctuated Twitters. It’s basically like what happened in Iran last month only better because this gal is not typing in Farsi.

Then they’ll twit two friends. Then they’ll twit two friends…

Mild Midwesterner July 20, 2009 at 10:10 am

I tip more when I get a good scalp massage, but do you have to tip more if your hairdresser kicks in a Twitter on your behalf?

americanscandoanything July 20, 2009 at 10:11 am

thank god this issue has been resolved!!!

BTW Rudy Guilianni in drag IS Rudy Guilianni

Doglessliberal July 20, 2009 at 10:11 am

So her rocket-scientist hairdresser took something mentioned a week ago in the NY Times, so something most of America will not see, and put it on Twitter for a much broader audience to see. So now all of America can discuss Sara Palin’s thinning hair. Nice job there, Jessica.

Woodwards Friend July 20, 2009 at 10:12 am

Sarah Palin totally uses the Bumpits.

And here we see the origin of the phrase, “Dumber than a box of hair.”

lizard scum July 20, 2009 at 10:16 am

The “lipstick” tattoo is proof she’s not Giuliani.

mattbolt July 20, 2009 at 10:16 am

If there was ever a time when America needed Sarah Palin’s hair, it’s now.

Sarah Palin is to her hair as the Green Lantern is to his ring.

germansteel July 20, 2009 at 10:17 am

At least the lies were not about Trig this time.

JohnnyMeatworth July 20, 2009 at 10:17 am

Hopefully, this will spur Joe The Plumber to come forth and admit that she never flushed tampons either.

One Yield Regular July 20, 2009 at 10:18 am

I read about her already in that book club book, “Reading Rumi in Wasilla.”

x111e7thst July 20, 2009 at 10:21 am

Jessica Steele raped Sarah Palins hair with her twit (twat?).

lamen2 July 20, 2009 at 10:22 am

so she’s the one responsible for palin’s hairdo?

mattbolt July 20, 2009 at 10:23 am

Do any of us horrible cretins on The Left really give a fuck about whether or not she’s balding? I mean, do you think every 60 year old guy with a big, slick head full of hair in Congress is just showing his God-given wavy locks?

Crank Tango July 20, 2009 at 10:24 am

so if her hair isn’t thinning, what was the 20,000 dollar merkin for?

Bearbloke July 20, 2009 at 10:24 am

Moose jizz makes one’s hair fall out… just sayin’…

AliBabaInBA July 20, 2009 at 10:26 am

Better if she had twatted, “I AM the motherfucking HAIRDRESSER, MOTHERFUCKER!”
You know, a la Nicholson.

torera July 20, 2009 at 10:27 am

If I read the Times story correctly, it didn’t quote her hairdresser about the thinning hair, just “friends” (sources, NYT, we want sources!). So white Alaskan females again score off the charts in the hysteria department. Must be those months of darkness.

El Pinche July 20, 2009 at 10:28 am

Chris Matthews is Sarah Palin’s wingnutty hairdresser?

freakishlystrong July 20, 2009 at 10:30 am

Guano Twitters…

Darkness July 20, 2009 at 10:32 am

If her hair is thinning, they should just transplant some of that mustache that shows in the Time cover on top of her head. Problem solved!

Perhaps Donald Trump can lend her one of his toupees…

ForTheTurnstiles July 20, 2009 at 10:48 am

So… how is it that the left is desperate to discredit Ms Palin, given that she’s done the job so competently and completely all by herselfs?

JadedDIssonance July 20, 2009 at 10:48 am

Now “jessicabeehive” (horribly apropos) has started her own twitter-war (twart? twartter? twatter?) by defining new wordz. New Troll-Cat @ 11.

[re=365968]Woodwards Friend[/re]: That is man’s lowest achievement. I saw it last night on TV- I thought it was a commercial from the 60′s. The hair styles all looked like the girl groups(as we olders called them) from that time.

heroinmule July 20, 2009 at 10:52 am

Her hairdresser reads the NYT?

JadedDIssonance July 20, 2009 at 10:52 am

“Inside Edition contacted me about an interview,I said no because the whole “story” was a lie! Sarah Palin’s hair is not thinning!”

How difficult is it to say “I refused…?” I Declined….

Not to belittle the intelligence of hair-stylists, my stylist is fabulous, and oh-so-intelligent, but this can only end in another badly-mumbled Larry King Interview.

LEVI, CAN YOU ADDRESS THIS PLZ?

SayItWithWookies July 20, 2009 at 10:52 am

I’m just glad Twitter wasn’t around when Ronald Reagan was denying that he dyed his hair. Of course, it was true that he didn’t — but only in the sense that Reagan believed it was 1958 at the time.

First:
“New term: Media Myth: when something becomes the “truth” not because it is true but because the media repeats it over & over & over”

Second:
“Example of Media Myth: I see Russia from my house was never said from Sarah Palin Tina Fey said it on SNL”

We can only reach the logical conclusion that “Real Americans” can no longer determine truth from fantasy in their media-melange.

NoWireHangers July 20, 2009 at 10:57 am

Notice that the hairdresser didn’t denounce the left wing media rumor that Sarah is a complete moran. She spoke out about thinning hair, but not moranity.

Clancy_Pants July 20, 2009 at 10:57 am

I am the Palins vetrinrian and I will not be used as a lbrul tool. Itz all lies that Tods dog had human semen in itz butt, it was just some mayonaze.

Unlearned Hand July 20, 2009 at 10:58 am

One easy way to solve this problem is to borrow a page from the Liberation of France: Drag Palin to the town square and shave her head in public.

102415 July 20, 2009 at 10:58 am

Well, the sp incorrect twitter deluge is just warming up, July 26th is near. I for one will arrange to be out of town and off the computer. Don’t expect me to look at anybodies *fancy phone* either. Also. I am afraid of sp, very afraid because I’m a liberal. Also, of wads of hair in the moose chili and that pack of no good kids running across my lawn pushing baby strollers.What the fuck has this world come to? It’s a shame!

OK, everybody. We must stop spreading rumors that Sarah Plain’s hairdresser is thin. Is that right? So hard to keep things straight on what we’re supposed to be “upset” about.

Sounds more like “someone” at the Beauty Barn was blabbing away and got caught. Now that same “someone” is using Twitter to cover their ass and protect that big $5.00 tip they get every 6 weeks.

I feel obliged to report that Palin’s gynecologist was overheard at the Wasilla Kuntry Kafe telling a friend that he had to put an extra stitch in her episiotomy because Trig’s head was the size of a cantalope and that she was asking about a badly needed labia reduction. Evidently, she has a mud-flap problem.

She hasn’t performed on stage in years. Her song is called “give me more” for a reason because all you people want is MORE! MORE-MORE, MORE: MORE!.

“Texas Sparkle”, who has a blog at the Houston Chronicle, twittered this to the hairdresser: “I absolutely LOVE that you are calling the NYT out on their lie quoting you as Palin’s hairdresser! TWITTERTRUTH! Heh. (via @RWSparkle) about 18 hours ago from Tweetie”.

Nevermind that Texas Sparkle got her Tweet all wrong, and that the “lie” and the quote wasn’t of the hairdresser at all — but of “friends” of Palins.

Can’t these idiots get ANYTHING right?
