THE BIG RUN-UP

Sarah Palin Will Let Anyone Interview Her!

So the question is, was she being sarcastic in that parenthetical aside about “variety”?

Probably not — there is one (1) Barbara Walters in there. Otherwise, good golly, look at all of those conservatives. She’s even digging up old Edmund Burke — the “Jonah Goldberg of the 18th Century” — to yell responses to non-existent questions at his dead body. “Yes, Edmund Burke, Trig is indeed 100% awesome, thank you for asking.”

  1. Don’t forget Oprah!

  2. MLHencken says at 2:03 pm, November 4th, 2009

    We need a snappy slogan for this Republitard tour. Suggestions?

  3. shadowMark says at 2:03 pm, November 4th, 2009

    Why don’t we do it in the road?

  4. J. Robert Oppenheiner says at 2:05 pm, November 4th, 2009

    I didn’t see Katie Couric on that list.

  5. SomeNYGuy says at 2:05 pm, November 4th, 2009

    MLHencken: The Bitch to Nowhere.

  6. Well, the Walters interview should hopefully be good. It would be nice to see Barbara reducing the quitter to tears, as she’s known to love to do with her guests, and Palin couldn’t even handle softballs from Couric. The rest, though; man, her ass is going to be soaking wet from all the kisses.

  7. chascates says at 2:07 pm, November 4th, 2009

    There’s no one who asks really hard questions on that list. Is she scared of Larry King?

  8. No Dennis Prager? She’s clearly not conservative enough for the base.

  9. But she did say she’s “hoping” to interview with Barbara Walters, so if it “doesn’t work out” or “she cancels” then she didn’t quite lie to us, did she?

  10. finallyhappy says at 2:09 pm, November 4th, 2009

    How about Ghosthunters or QVC?

  11. ManchuCandidate says at 2:09 pm, November 4th, 2009

    It’s not like Sarah Palin is an intellectual lightweight who is deathly afraid of being made a fool of (for the umpteenth time) or anything.

  12. dum librul says at 2:10 pm, November 4th, 2009

    Glenn Beck interviewing Sarah Palin is like me putting my mom down as a reference on a job application, but with more crying.

  13. freakishlystrong says at 2:10 pm, November 4th, 2009

    MLHencken: Going Wingtard.

  14. FlownOver says at 2:10 pm, November 4th, 2009

    Interviewer must provide documentation of negative STD test result prior to commencement of interview.

  15. FlownOver says at 2:11 pm, November 4th, 2009

    MLHencken: If Alice Cooper doesn’t mind, I’d suggest “Billion Dollar Babies.”

  16. ManchuCandidate says at 2:12 pm, November 4th, 2009

    Where’s John Zeigler, the poor dating jackass who can’t get enough of the Snowbilly Grifter Quitter? Why has she forsaken him?

  17. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 2:12 pm, November 4th, 2009

    What? No Joy Behar? EPIC FAIL.

  18. SmutBoffin says at 2:12 pm, November 4th, 2009

    “…local Alaska personalities Bob and Mark…”? They sound like craptacular morning DJs/parody song writers. This will be the most interesting stop of the tour, however.

  19. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 2:13 pm, November 4th, 2009

    MLHencken: No we cunt!

  20. Jim89048 says at 2:14 pm, November 4th, 2009

    Eddie Burke: Fucktard, or right-wing fucktard?

  21. Paul Tardy says at 2:15 pm, November 4th, 2009

    What will she be wearing? I hope it is an out door interview and she wears a parka, I really like her in a parka.

    And remember to give generously to the The Alaska Fund Trust, the official website for the Governor Sarah Palin legal expense fund.

  22. rottenart says at 2:15 pm, November 4th, 2009

    MLHencken: Sucking into Election Night Cornering

  23. widestanceromancer says at 2:16 pm, November 4th, 2009

    A PMS-ing Maddow with Palin would be an interview worth watching.

  24. Extemporanus says at 2:17 pm, November 4th, 2009

    MLHencken: Something beat, like “On the Choad” or “The Word Whored”.

  25. rottenart says at 2:18 pm, November 4th, 2009

    ManchuCandidate: He’s busy trying to get moderate Repubs to [a href="http://crooksandliars.com/david-neiwert/when-wingnuts-attack-each-other-zieg"]punch him in the face.[/a]

  26. Suds McKenzie says at 2:18 pm, November 4th, 2009

    MLHencken: Tardapalooza

  27. magic titty says at 2:19 pm, November 4th, 2009

    (”Variety is the spice of life!)

    Hmm. Is that how she appeased poor Todd after he caught her banging his best bro?

  28. An Outhouse says at 2:20 pm, November 4th, 2009

    Barbara Walters ain’t nothing compared to Bob & Mark. Oh, and Tammy Bruce? does a vanity podcast make you a ‘radio personality’?

  29. PrairiePossum says at 2:22 pm, November 4th, 2009

    MLHencken:

    In honor of Thanksgiving - Return of the Great Turkey Massacre

  30. Convince Me DC says at 2:23 pm, November 4th, 2009

    Soon enough she and Todd will have their own VH1 or CMT reality show. Once you go couture, you never go back!

  31. Minnie Mean says at 2:23 pm, November 4th, 2009

    Oh, pick me! Me! I have questions already prepared!!! I am a variety to which you are not yet accustomed.

  32. ForTheTurnstiles says at 2:25 pm, November 4th, 2009

    Hypothetical: how would Palin do on The Kojo Nnamdi show? Would Kojo for once lose his cool?

  33. hobospacejunkie says at 2:26 pm, November 4th, 2009

    I’m hoping to have the opportunity to talk with…

    How hard can it be, Snowbilly? These slobbering clowns you mention would cut their nuts off for the chance to worship at your sleazy altar. I’m guessing the hold up, as ever, is cold hard $$$.

  34. Pleasant Days With Joe & Sam says at 2:27 pm, November 4th, 2009

    “Local Alaska personalities?” The most well-known is that Levi Johnston kid, right?

  35. MLHencken:
    The Blind Ambition Tour.

  36. Tundra Grifter says at 2:28 pm, November 4th, 2009

    J. Robert Oppenheiner: And Charlie Gibson.

  37. Extemporanus says at 2:29 pm, November 4th, 2009

    Suds McKenzie: The No Longer Ranked Dude’s tour is “Toddapalooza”.

    Also, I’ve already reserved “Tardageddon” for a Paul-calypse brought on by Palin’s whoreds. If I can get my hands on some better pain killers, I’ll finish up the promotional posters I created for the big event.

  38. Nice of her to work up a list of assholes for us.

  39. comicbookguy says at 2:32 pm, November 4th, 2009

    How about a repeat interview with the President of France and his hilarious Canadian morning radio show?

  40. progressiveinga says at 2:32 pm, November 4th, 2009

    MLHencken: Progressing to Quit. Also.

  41. comicbookguy says at 2:33 pm, November 4th, 2009

    What’s the over-under on her $19 motivational speaking gig?

  42. slavojzizek says at 2:34 pm, November 4th, 2009

    No Stephen Colbert? I thought the wingnuts swear he’s one of their own.

  43. Tundra Grifter says at 2:34 pm, November 4th, 2009

    Is Greta’s husband still handling her publicity? Is Greta still handling Todd?

    What a line-up of softball interviews! That giant sucking sound South of the Border isn’t jobs going to Mexico. It’s the right wingnut gasbags trying to help Sarah Palin peddle her book.

    Why not be interviewed by Keith Obermann? Ed Schultz? Heck - Senator Franken?

    You betcha!

  44. agentstinky says at 2:39 pm, November 4th, 2009

    Good morning Fairbanks, this is Wally and the Animal on KNUB the NOOOOOOOB! *zoink! bong!* We’re here with former Vice Presidential candidate, gubernatorial quitter and all around hottie *loud whistle* SARAH PALIN. Mrs. Palin, are you ready to play ASS OR ARMPIT

  45. SayItWithWookies says at 2:43 pm, November 4th, 2009

    A Wasilla Wanker in King Rush’s Court — what’s great is that the more she boosts herself up by staying in her own ideological corner, the further from reality she gets. The wreck at the very end will be something to tell your children about. Or someone else’s children. Or your cats.

  46. Come here a minute says at 2:46 pm, November 4th, 2009

    I hope she shows up on Letterman’s show — it would give her a chance to line up a great job for Bristol as one of Dave’s assistants.

  47. BobTheBuilder says at 2:46 pm, November 4th, 2009

    If variety is the spice of life, Sarah Palin is the saltpeter.

  48. germansteel says at 2:47 pm, November 4th, 2009

    Isn’t there a special prosecutor - or two - who would like to “interview” her?

  49. chowkster says at 2:48 pm, November 4th, 2009

    No Daily Show or Colbert Report?

  50. teebob2000 says at 2:48 pm, November 4th, 2009

    MLHencken: God, Guns and Cunt-try.

  51. El Pinche says at 2:49 pm, November 4th, 2009

    Sarah , Sarah, Sarah, a renowned quitter and proven failure. In about a month, you’ll be wearing now playgirl model Levi Johnson’s albatross cock around your neck.

    Speaking of Palin, her favorite stalker and fat head Briebart is talking shit about Sesame Street FoxNews spoofs:

    http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/sright/2009/11/03/l-is-for-leftist-thats-good-enough-for-me/

    our skoalrebel payed a visit. Let’s see how long his comment stays before Briebart stops masturbating to Palin pics and spots it.

  52. She says she can’t wait to ‘hit the road.’ One can hope.

  53. snideinplainsight says at 2:52 pm, November 4th, 2009

    She left Satan out of that list.

  54. Gorillionaire says at 2:52 pm, November 4th, 2009

    dum librul: I will be laughing at this forever now

  55. the problem child says at 2:54 pm, November 4th, 2009

    MLHencken: Going Roadkill

  56. AnnieGetYourFun says at 2:55 pm, November 4th, 2009

    SayItWithWookies: Wow, weird, I was just reading Mark Twain last night. That exact book, too. I mean, the original one that your reference. Although if you do decide to write A Wasilla Wanker in King Rush’s Court, I will buy it.

  57. Bucky Katt says at 2:56 pm, November 4th, 2009

    “interview” or “fuck”?

  58. chascates says at 2:56 pm, November 4th, 2009

    SPalin should have a tie-in with these folks, who offered Down Syndrome dolls:

    http://web.archive.org/web/20070808220658/downicreations.com/doll-features.html

    A limited edition of America’s Special Baby Trig would be more popular than beanie babies.

  59. Just what we need, another Spice Girl. Would that make her Caribou Spice?

  60. rikitikitavi says at 2:59 pm, November 4th, 2009

    I don’t think Beck’s interview of Palin is going to go well, despite their political affinities. Beck is going to start crying about something, and Palin will punch him and tell him to sack up.

  61. Maybe she’ll do the Howard Stern show and he’ll have her ride the sybian.

  62. Minnie Mean says at 3:05 pm, November 4th, 2009

    Min: Bible Spice is the correct nomenclature, I believe.

  63. nbawriter says at 3:10 pm, November 4th, 2009

    Wow … Fox News bukkake!

  64. ShiningMathPath says at 3:12 pm, November 4th, 2009

    MLHencken:Sarah Does Babble-On?

  65. Humpback says at 3:18 pm, November 4th, 2009

    Howza bout my local Borders?

  66. mardam422 says at 3:19 pm, November 4th, 2009

    I’d pay top dollar to see her interviewed by Skoalrebel.

  67. Pop Socket says at 3:20 pm, November 4th, 2009

    For variety, I suggest Mike Douglas, Dinah Shore, Merv Griffin, and Donny and Marie. But not the Bradys. They’re a bunch of pinko liberals.

  68. comicbookguy says at 3:20 pm, November 4th, 2009

    I hope someone finally asks her some hard-hitting questions about what really happened to the ugly duckling that wandered onto her farm in Farmville.

  69. Chickensmack says at 3:25 pm, November 4th, 2009

    Min: Ice Spice, baby.

  70. For our brave troops also, protectin’ our rights.

  71. Crankenstank says at 3:31 pm, November 4th, 2009

    I’m sure if she were sleeping with them, she’d get a variety, but talking with them? Only in the quality of the reverb in the echo chamber.

  72. One Yield Regular says at 3:35 pm, November 4th, 2009

    For maybe the only time in my life, I actually miss William F. Buckley; or rather, I miss the lost opportunity of being able to see him forced to interview Sarah Palin.

  73. The Power of Wheat says at 3:42 pm, November 4th, 2009

    Maybe they can discuss the French Revolution, as that is Burke’s wont. Wait a minute…the reanimated corpse of Burke (how else are they going to get him to interview her) will still be able to discuss the subject more intelligently than Palin. And if Burke is a reanimated corpse, shouldn’t Palin worry about him attacking her? Where’s Jonah with the anti-zombie advice?

  74. comicbookguy: As long as the French “Secretary of State Johnny Hallyday” is part of the interview again.

  75. nerd1951 says at 3:47 pm, November 4th, 2009

    ForTheTurnstiles: OOOh OOOH - Friday Politics hour with Loose Lips (for all the wrong reasons) from the City Paper!

  76. WeHaveNun says at 3:49 pm, November 4th, 2009

    Minnie Mean: Thats right—Bible Spice or Caribou Barbie

  77. AbeServer says at 3:50 pm, November 4th, 2009

    Sorry to disrupt all the snark — but Palin IS doing interviews with Oprah and Baba.

    Meanwhile the President and all his boys and girls are running away from Fox News.

    Sure, Palin has a book to sell. But Barack has a health care policy to peddle. Right now the book is doing a lot better than the policy.

  78. gurukalehuru says at 3:51 pm, November 4th, 2009

    I think that Oprah should just do what she does best and have a nice, lady to lady talk about kids,pregnancy, motherhood, contraceptives, teen pregnancy, paternity suits, DNA analysis, just what exactly is the deal with Levi anyway, just girl talk, you know.

  79. Crazybroad says at 3:55 pm, November 4th, 2009

    widestanceromancer: I would pay some SERIOUS money on e-Bay to witness that.slavojzizek: Someone probably tipped them off…

  80. nerd1951 says at 3:57 pm, November 4th, 2009

    AbeServer: I wouldn’t say “running away from Fox News” more like ignoring them these days - like many of us.

  81. MLHencken says at 4:07 pm, November 4th, 2009

    For me, it’s a choice between these fine tour names:

    Tardapalooza
    Blind Ambition
    No We Cunt

  82. vladster says at 4:07 pm, November 4th, 2009

    What, no interview with Mudflats? Chicken!

  83. El Pinche says at 4:17 pm, November 4th, 2009

    El Pinche:
    “ANDREW, NEVER MIND THESE GAY ASS LIBRATS , THEY’VE ALL BEEN ALREADY INDOCTRINATED BY MUPPETS (SOCIALIST), COSBY SHOW (RACIST), AND BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY (TREE HUGGIN , CLIMATE CONSIPRATOR LOON) , OH AND THE TELLATUBBIES (GAY!!!). MY KIDS ARE ALL HOMESCHOOLED , GO TO CHURCH, AND ONLY WATCH WAR MOVIES….THINGS RONALD REAGAN SHOULD HAD DONE WITH RON GAY ASS JR. BUT I DIGRESS”
    - skoalrebel

  84. El Pinche says at 4:18 pm, November 4th, 2009

    According to Levi, she really said, “Yes, Edmund Burke, Trig is indeed 100% RETARDED, thank you for asking.”

  85. SomeNYGuy: WIN!(Unofficial. I stopped reading because that says it all)

  86. SayItWithWookies says at 4:22 pm, November 4th, 2009

    AnnieGetYourFun: I’d seriously have to melt my brain before I could write prose like Sarah Palin talks. Then again, she’s not going away anytime soon…hmmm.

    AbeServer: And when was the last time either of those two asked a tough question? Wake me up when she goes on Maddow.

  87. AbeServer: No problem. No interruption at all. Sorry, but did you say something relevant in that post? It went by so fast…Jonas Brothers..Carrie Prejean…A conservative that owns a dictionary….your supposed “rational statements” post…..whoosh like the wind!

  88. faustroll says at 4:29 pm, November 4th, 2009

    Let’s see, asshole Republican, asshole Republican, asshole Republican, asshole female Republican, two schlubs in an igloo… where’s the spice again? Or is this “spice” in the heartland sense of some pepper and maybe a little salt but still pretty bland?

  89. Flanders says at 7:01 pm, November 4th, 2009

    El Pinche: Not enuf misspellings.

  90. Flanders says at 7:02 pm, November 4th, 2009

    mardam422: That would be beautiful.

  91. rocktonsammy says at 7:18 pm, November 4th, 2009

    I hope SP brings Trig to those interviews.

    Just to take my stare away from her tits.

  92. hunter.blatherer says at 7:54 pm, November 4th, 2009

    El Pinche: El Pinche:

    also this:

    PBS IS FILLED WITH ACORN THUGS. WERE SURROWNDED BY LIBTARDS , SOCAILISTS, AND JAY-Zs. I DUNNO ABOUT YOU FRIENDOS BUT IM HUNKERIN DOWN WITH DUCT TAPE, PLAYDOH, SKOAL APPLE FLAVORRED DIP, BEER, MY GLEN BECK BOOKS, AND MY TRUSTY AR-15. *DIP*

    Do I even want to know what he does with the Play-doh?

  93. zhubajie says at 8:28 pm, November 4th, 2009

    Get Larry Flynt to interview her!

  94. — So the question is, was she being sarcastic in that parenthetical aside about “variety”? —
    No. None is quadruped.

  95. Joe Spenard says at 9:16 pm, November 4th, 2009

    The Word I Heard is that the long time Palin friend and state-paid-for babysitter, Kris Perry has been officially tossed under the bus.

    That’s just a rumor that I heard though, please don’t sue me.

  96. Tundra Grifter: In what respect?

  97. Darkness says at 9:59 pm, November 4th, 2009

    Sarah better put in place some ground rules for these interviews. Item one should be: no fapping during the interview. (We’re looking at you Beck, Limbaugh, and O’Reilly.) Item 2 should specify the brand of vibrator O’Reilly is allowed to provide in the green room.

  98. zhubajie says at 10:19 pm, November 4th, 2009

    Why isn’t she on TBN? Jan and Paul Crouch and Sarah could all speak in tongues together!

  99. zhubajie says at 10:46 pm, November 4th, 2009

    I would love to see her on Pat Robertson or Jack Van Impe talking all about the End Times and our wars.

  100. How about Jello Biafra? THAT would be FUN.

  101. Gun-toting Progressive says at 8:52 am, November 5th, 2009

    teleken: That, or Henry Rollins.
