According to John Ziegler, some talk-radio-host-slash-filmmaker who is a called a “confidante” of Palin by Mediaite (so he met her once?), the term “blood libel” “unbeknownst to most Americans had been apparently legally copyrighted by the Jewish people hundreds of years ago.” Legally. Thanks to those Jew lawyers. (Christians would never say such a thing!) In fact, knowing that they were copyrighting a term that would one day be used against Sarah Palin was the only thing that got them through all the persecution, expulsions and massacres. If you think about it, the real victims of the Holocaust were not the Jews. It was Sarah Palin, because not enough of them died to relinquish the copyright.
They include: the fact she had the gall to use the ancient term “blood libel” which, unbeknownst to most Americans had been apparently legally copyrighted by the Jewish people hundreds of years ago (at least according to the “experts” the media selectively chose to interview), that she “lied” when referencing her ‘target” map and comparing it to others from the other side which were indeed similar, and mostly that she chose to defend herself at all, and that to do so was “unpresidential” and an attempt to steal the spotlight (really?).
It is this last allegation that is most maddening. I have a rule, whenever criticizing anyone, that I at least provide an alternative mode of behavior. So, in that vein, what exactly was she supposed to do?
Not make it look like she wanted to pick out some members of Congress and shoot them.
And here’s an alternate mode of behavior for all the kids out there: Don’t get mad when Jews try to claim ownership of some of the vile crap that was used as justification for murdering them. There are plenty of phrases to describe the mean things the media is doing to you! You can even invent one yourself! The English language is cool like that. [Mediaite]

Let's turn this whole goatfuck over to Stone and Parker and have them make a South Park episode out of it. Cartman does a mean Palin: "I do what I want!"
No matter where her little cut-out character goes, it needs to be followed by a guy constantly murdering turkeys behind her.
Sarah Palin. The Britney Spears of politics.
Leave Sarah alone!
Leave Britney alone!
I was gonna say the Claudine Longet of politics, but might be too obscure.
I got it. But, I am old.
Oops, he has been accidentally shot by Claudine Longet.
Spider was a friend of mine.
If she starts calling Todd "Spider, darling", I'd suggest he go dog sledding. Quick.
Is that like a cave woman name?
But Britney actually does have some (marginal) talent, is attractive, and we have all seen her vagina.
And we're all fairly certain that her children are, in fact, hers.
FAR too kind Joshua. Britney might be on intellectual par with say, a sea scallop, but she ain't pure evil!
Jews copyright "blood libel," Sara copyrights "refudiate." Seems completely appropriate to me.
You know something? I just noticed in all this silly "blood libel" hoo-haw of the last few days, she has yet to refudiate the fact that she kidnaps christian children to drink their blood.
Why has Sarah not yet refudiated this?
It would be irresponsible not to speculate.
Sarah Palin's a Secret Jew. Pass it on.
Has "High-Tech Lynching" been copyrighted yet?
"Not made it look like she wanted to pick out some members of Congress and shoot them."
Poor Sarah. All these people are trying to make her think about what words and images she uses. It's just unfair. They should all apologize publically and each write her a big fat check.
She's reading your comment right now and nodding vigorously. Or maybe shaking her head back and forth. I've heard she doesn't seem to have a good grasp of body language/speech congruence.
Either way, yes, send her a check.
A Sarah Palin who aint kinda kooky, not using gawky sounding phrases, maybe stops to think about what the heck she's actually sayin to crowds of people.
NO. That is not the Sarah Palin that [Real] America fell in love with.
“A Sarah Palin who maybe stops to think…”Oh, bwahahah (wipes tears from eyes). Thanks, I needed a good laugh.
Terror Copyright Babies.

Yes, that is correct. She is a Lizard Person.
one of my favorite novels!
I see the troll has stopped attempting to spell the word correctly.

GTFO
Josh Ziegler sounds like one of those white guys who gets pissed off that he can't use the word "nigger" in public.
He actually wrote a column complaining about just that because he got fired for saying it on his radio show. He's a completely vile guy.
http://www.jewishworldreview.com/0801/ziegler.n.w...
EDIT: The Jewish World Review is also reprehensible.
Man, WHO'S THE VICTIM NOW? THIS WHITE RADIO HOST, THAT'S WHO.
What is it about radio that attracts the marginal and the Asperger-y? At least Howard Stern owns up to the fact that he's useless in polite society.
They can spout to a (non) captive audience.
I know, from just my time on low-low-low-watt campus radio, that believing nobody was listening — even if I hoped everyone were — allowed me to open up like I wouldn't otherwise.
John Ziegler is such a weird, paranoid, rage-filled, unfunny, racist, misogynous right wing fuck that I'm really surprised he's not more popular.
Has anyone read the DFW thing about him in Consider the Lobster called "Host?" Other than the weird way the footnotes are formatted, it's actually a very fun read and is probably available in some pirated version on the Internet somewhere.
Probably the best thing I ever read in The Atlantic in the brief time I was a subscriber. Here's the article in question.
Someone tell Jack he and Ziegler share the same alma mater (I'm so proud he started his radio career at WGTB!).
Is there a term for using your purported victim status as a weapon? Yes, let's call it "palinating." "Cody, stop palinating about how your teacher picks on you and finish your book report!"
The relentless focus on Palin here sometimes seem like SEO click-whoring, but there's no denying that Alaskunt provides endless entertainment. Do you suppose someone actually types "Palin" into the search field when she shows already up on every site everywhere on the Internet already?
V57, you've really got something there. Palinate, palinating, palinator, … oh this should be fun!
Even a blind pig finds an acorn once in a while.Put a new solid-state drive in my home computer last night—must be making me smarter.
Would self-flagellators be palinista?
The problem with making a verb of the word Palin, is there are sooo many other reprehensible qualities she possesses that many folks will forget just which reprehensible quality is the Palinating one.
How do you pick just one?
"If you continue to palinate like that, you'll end up with no friends!"
I refudiate your suggestion to invent language — gotta celebrate it.
How very cromulent of you.
Peeing troll alert….
How can we defend ourselves against these scurrilous attacks? See, this is why people need more guns, especially Louie Gohmert, who wants congresscritters to carry them on the House floor.
Shorter Ziegler: Sarah would've gotten away with this, if it hadn't been for those meddling Jews.
Also, this:
Um, pre-emptively shutting the fuck up would have been a good start.
Sarah could have made her point in…..45 words.
You'd think of all people to get some heat from this tragedy, John McCain might be one of them, being the high-profile Senator from Arizona and Sarah Palin's Presidential running mate, but he isn't. Palin rambled on passive-aggressively using words she didn't understand, but McCain released a two-paragraph statement with small words saying basically "this is some really bad shit" and he's acquitted himself.
That's just going beyond the Pale!
Isn't "Ziegler" a Nazi name? That explains a lot — his fanboy attitude toward Twitler…er, Sarah Palin, and his defense of her appropriation of "blood libel" and her desire to be a victim…nay, a martyr!
Can he explain the part about "words don't cause violence but words used against me incite people to the very violence that they seek to condem" ? Without using the infinity symbol? Or a pretzel?
Does that even make sense in English?
No it doesn't. And this time she doesn't even have the excuse of it being an off the cuff remark. This was carefully prepared and put on a teleprompter for her to read.
Zeigler wants to know why Jews are so damned acquisitive with words.
Yeah, doesn't it piss you off that no one else can use the term "Holocaust" because the Jews have taken it over? They copyright all the best words.
And yet, judging by blogs recently, the Germans just couldn't hold on to kristallnacht.
But they have "Fahrvergnügen" locked up!
I feel certain that Ikea's poised to steal "Fahrvergnügen" for their next pressboard shelving system.
But without the umlat. Makes it a completely different word.
Paradoxically, they've given "schadenfreude" to the world!
I call dibs on "Extraterrestrial Invasion and subsequent Human Annihilation"
She fucked up. The 'blood libel' phrase is not common vernacular, it's something you'd have to go looking for to end up using it. It shines a light deep into her character, where you can only assume that her background/education includes anti-Semitic references, intentional or not.
Oh, please, you think she actually writes her own stuff? I'm sure she's got some Mel Gibson acolyte on the payroll to throw in the dog whistle anti-Semitism. You can tell what isn't ghost written, because it's completely incoherent.
Lots of born-agains are Xtn Zionists and yet believe all the old stereotypes about Jews.
I think the phrase was used earlier in the week by Breitbart or someone. She was probably just cribbing from him, thinking it sounded really cool.
It was Glen "Instapundit" Reynolds who used it first in a WSJ op-ed on (I think) Monday. But yeah, I gotta agree with the "Blood libel? That sounds awesome!" hypothesis.
That's who it was, in that editorial he wrote.
It was stupid then, it's still stupid now despite the apologists that have come forward trying to justify the appalling use of a "loaded" word/symbol.
So whose blood was it Snowbilly was accused of using to bake her matzo? I know lots of people has no idea what it means- but I mean, a big reader of all there is to read like Sarah should have known, right? ?
I've heard that it has become a somewhat commonly used term recently. I certainly haven't heard or seen it. I don't have the courage to seek out sites where the term might be used, but I suspect that they might be described as "fringe" in some area or another (religion, politics, etc.).
I'm not sure it would do her any good to have a supporter say "See? Look at all the people who use the term!"
Also saying "Hey it's been appropriated and mis-used by several commentators in the last five years" seems like an inadequate defense.
Nope, it was being hijacked by right wingers who want to caste a victimization…
The fact that she fucked up by using the term is hilarious. But claiming that the term has been copyrighted by the Jewish people only adds to the hilarity.
This is a case of "When you find yourself in a hole, shut down the steam shovel."
Josh Zeigler? Such a nice Jewish name…
Sarah Palin did speak in 'presidential' terms in her statement denying culpability. I could just imagine her as MY president giving the State of the Union address pointing her fingers at all people she blamed for her failed initiatives. Using 'target', excuse me, surveyors' marks on the faces of her political rivals during the live event. Standing at the memorial services after the slaying of hundreds of national leaders admonishing the victims for their own demise.
Sarah the Palin needs to remain sequestered in Alaska, the closer to Russia the better.
If you're doing the "surveyor marks" in person, I recommend using a laser pointer. That red dot will really demonstrate your focus and it couldn't possibly be misinterpreted.
Not only would she admonish victims at their memorials but she would tell us that she had to miss her weekly manicure appointment to make it to the memorial. Her sacrifice would be irrefudiatable.
Maybe we can persuade Putin to extradite her, then send her to Siberia, perhaps to a camp within sight of Alaska!
One the other hand, Clear Channel took the Limbaugh Straight Shooter billboard down. Wait. Doesn't Clear Channel also own most the radio stations Limpballs
Radio Rwanda program runs on?
Speaking of Rush, I noticed that huge 9/11 flag at the Christina Green funeral is almost big enough for Rush to wrap himself in.
They've graduated from Holocaust Denial to Inquisition Denial? Who says our children isn't learning?
It's an auto de fe of learning!
"Auto de fe?" What's an "auto de fe?"
If it exists, it's in Wikipedia.
The correct answer was "It's what you oughtn't to do but you do anyway."
She really can't admit to doing/saying anything wrong, can she?
All it would take is one little mistake to send her pathetic little "perfect" world crashing around her and make her look a dumb idiotic stupid ignorant fool. Hint to dipshit Magoo Palin… you already are.
I've noticed that about her. She can't comprehend that most people actually earn respect by admitting that "Whoopsies, I made a mistake, I'm so sorry, don't know what I was thinking, excuse me. And by the way, my sincere apologies to those I hurt with my thoughtless mistake."
It's a strange thing about the wingnut world that no one can ever apologize. It's possible that she didn't know the meaning of "blood libel" and why what she said was offensive; but when you unintentionally say something offensive, you still apologize, say "I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking / didn't know, I'll try to be careful to avoid that in the future." But in wingnut world, instead, it's "I didn't intend that to be offensive, so HOW DARE YOU BE OFFENDED!!!" And of course, much of the time it probably was intentional, but there's no way of proving it.
.
"Magoo Palin"………..nice, and you earned yourself a coveted P point.
Sarah Palin sometimes reminds me of Norma Desmond, except God do I wish she was a silent star.
She's already got the sagging-jowls thing going for her. "Ready for my closeup, Mr Ailes!"
No one walks out on a star!
"We didn't need words. We had BREATHING."
I'm ready for my fuck up, Mr. DeMille…
I still can't figure why she went with "blood libel" when she could have used "high-tech lynching."
Yes! Especially since the Intertubes were involved! Excellent question!
Or "shower of criticism."
already appropriated!
Sheesh. Words and phrases mean things. Sometimes they mean very specific things and should (generally) only be used to refer to those things. If you are going to use a word or phrase for something that it doesn't mean you should be very careful because unless you are a very good writer people are going to think you are either ignorant or insensitive. Please refudiate.
The English language clearly has a liberal bias.
Her use of blood libel stabs heart.
The More You Know.™
Quick Google of this ass clown:
I also know now, with morally certitude, that the media assassination of her, her character and her family was one of the greatest public injustices of our time and I am totally justified in devoting my life to correcting the historical record in my forthcoming film “Media Malpractice…How Obama Got Elected and Palin Was Smeared”
———————————————————————————-
I'm going to save my money and not see your film, sir. I'm spending it on, The Lies of Sarah Palin: The Untold Story Behind Her Relentless Quest for Power [Hardcover]
Geoffrey Dunn. April 12th is the release date at Amazon.
"One of the greatest public injustices…." Damn, is everything about her? The new trend is a "noun", a "verb" and "Tucson" for Palin.
Until then, get your fix at http://palingates.blogspot.com/
Yes, one of the greatest injustices of our times. That's why last year she made only 15 million dollars while being unemployed.
If there truly is a Gawd, the funding of her and her brood's lifestyle will slowly dry up as the Conservatives try to put as much distance between her and them.
Assassination? Really?
There is a woman in Arizona who had a bullet go clean through her head.
There is a woman in Alaska who had her feelings hurt.
Same thing I guess.
Had things gone as Jared hoped, the woman in Arizona would be dead. The woman in Alaska has to live the rest of her life with hurt feelings. If she were self-aware, that is.
"Copyrighted the word hundreds of years ago" Interestingly the subject of copyright came up last night in final Jeopardy and according to Alex here in the US copyright extends in the most lengthy cases for a century at most. So how does a "people" copyright a word for hundreds of years and under what jurisdiction. Did they sneak that copyright into the Articles of Confederation? Is it written in lemon juice on the back of the Declaration of Independence or scratched in Hebrew along the inside rim of the Liberty Bell? Or maybe it's written in the book of the Elders of Zion where it can be both official and totally fictional.
He was attempting to be snarky. Obviously, he failed. No one snarks like a Wonketteer.
It is apparently tattooed in the crack of Palin's ass, since that is where his nose is so firmly planted.
That was two nights in a row now that I've gotten the Final Jeopardy answer correct and none of the contestants did. I gotta get my ass on that show.
That's what I thought, too. I met a fate similar to Josh Fruhlinger (came in 2nd to a 4-time returning champ who went on to win 9 total. And my categories all sucked.)
Trebek: "Mr. Caveman, we're going directly to 'Final Jeopardy!' tonight, because I've been informed that I was somehow injected with a rare, fast-acting poison backstage. The category: 'Who Killed Me?' You have 22 minutes, sir."
I dunno, guys … k-kill Alex Trebeck? He's kind of the all-time great role model for smarmy, superior bastards everwhere. My people, in other words.
Besides, I'd rather have my 15 minutes of fame be winning buttloads of money.
The incorrect responses were bizarrely off the mark.
I Ruhe German for retard?
Touche. I will consider myself duly capped on. But just to clarify on the translation: "Ruhe" is actually Messican for "I'm your momma's anchor baby daddy."
He should have just used the old Southern trick of saying "Yankee" when you mean jew.
Or, "why don't you just go back to New York." Actually quote directed at me, a Jewish looking person.
Is that like "Canadians" in the restaurant business?
And substituting "slave" for "n****r" in Twain's books.
I'm sure Sarah will come up with a Final Solution to this problem. Soon she'll Shoah us all what she's made of. After all, it's always a gas to listen to her.
She's just standing up for Real America, where work makes you free.
I heard she has her camp concentrating on the issue.
Too soon.
Don't get on that train.
Meh, her speech writers are all pogrommed to provide the same responses every time.
Yes and Christians must have copyrighted "Crucify the bastard." You almost never hear Jews say that.
The "Wasilla Blood Libel" sounds like a physical movement to rival the Cleveland Steamer.
How do you think Palin females get preggers?
No, they know they're preggers when they miss a blood libel.
There is an astoundingly, horrifyingly disgusting and crude description I could use for the sexual act known as the Wasilla Blood Libel. But I won't because I love you all.
Good thing it can only be done a few times a year.
"Wasilla Blood Libel"
I call dibs on the band name.
Only if it's christian hard rock and you get Bristol to star in the video.
But is this good for the Jews?
"Ziegler has said that during this period of depression, he 'had a very, very, very serious plan to kill O.J. Simpson' by infiltrating the country club O.J. frequented and posing as a caddy, thus carrying out the justice that he felt the courts failed to uphold."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ziegler_(talk_show_host)
I have a rule, whenever criticizing anyone, that I at least provide an alternative mode of behavior. So, in that very, very, very serious vein, what exactly was Ziegler supposed to do? At a certain point it had to occur to him that infiltrating OJ's country club and posing as a caddy would not, in fact, kill OJ. So what was left but an obscure career in talk radio?
Eleventy jillion up-fists to you, if only I could.
But F. Lee Bailey says now that he can prove OJ innocent. Could Ziegler live with the fact that he almost caddied for an innocent man?
errrgghhhhhh! It's not even so much the term's association with a specific libel, and the moral and historical ramifications of that association, it's also that the term has a specific meaning! The libel of a group that engenders or promotes violence against it! If anything, that's what Palin is being accused of. Not what those accusations amount to.
Wait, I can "invent" my own phrases? But if I don't just repeat the clichés and talking points I hear on the radio, how will I know whether I'm right?
You're not going to try to make me "think," are you? I tried that once, and it hurt.
I know earnestness has no place at Wonkette but this has been obsessing me …
Putting aside what Ms. Palin (and others) may have meant by using this phrase, I am having trouble with what it actually means.
Does the libel refer to the sacrifice itself, or the lie that such sacrifices took (take) place?
I originally interpreted it to mean that libel in this context meant something like sully or denigrate, which is what the Jews did to the blood – That Jews engaged in blood libel. The victim of a blood libel is the Christian and the perpetrator are "the Jews"
Applying this interpretation to her metaphor would be this: Pundits (the Jews) are murdering Sarah Palin (Christians).
But in reading the etymology of the word libel, it seems to be focus solely on the act of writing or printing a lie.
So now I'm under the impression that the libel is the lie that such things took place and the victim are Jewish people and perpetrators are those who spread the lie.
Pundits (Christians, czarists etc.) lie about Sarah Palin's (The Jews') practices.
Please help, Wonkateers!
I have legally copyrighted the term "asswipe." Pay up, everybody !
John Ziegler must really the American People, to claim that most of us are such morons that we don't even know the meaning of "blood libel" even though it's a basic part of history.
Hey, at least the kid took Sarah's advice. Instead of retreating he reloaded, and that's when he was tackled and stopped.
Speaking of which, the latest talking point appears to be, "Alan Dershowitz says it's totally cool for Sarah to say Blood Libel, and he's a big ole Jew."
It's been a while since he was in the news for advocating torture, so it's good to see he's found another cause he can feel passionate about.
Let us not forget his role in the O.J. Simpson defense.
I am so glad Dershowitz is speaking for all of us now! It's a relief not to have to think for myself and rely on his sound judgment.
I wonder what he's going to order me for lunch. I hope it's not liver sausage again. That guy can't get enough of that fucking liver sausage.
You can even invent one yourself! The English language is cool like that.
The slandernizing shrills of the lamestream media are attempting to rappel both the First and Second Amendments of Our Sarah. This censoriosity is anasthmatic to the Founding Principals of our Republican, and is nothing but a high-hatted attempt to silence the voice of our degeneration.
So, we don't have to have principles anymore? Cool. Who's buying?
To reluctantly quote PJ O'Rourke, "What the fuck, huh? I mean, WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK?!"
Is that the original PJ or the current soul-less, dead-eyed bought and paid-for one?
Does this mean I can't call my speed metal/newgrass band, Blood Libel?
Only if you expect to specialize in playing bar mitzvahs.
Split Lip Rayfield already did that!
Falsely accused of violating ancient Jewish copyrights? If YOU'VE been injured through no fault of your own, you are a victim and DESERVE compensation! Don't sign away your legal rights! Turn to the law offices of Goldman, Goldberg, Goldstein and Goldman.
You've left out a Goldman! You've left out the main one, too. Thought you could slip one over on me, didn't you, eh? All right, leave it out and put in a windshield wiper instead. I tell you what you do, Troubledog. I tell you what. Make it, uh, make it three windshield wipers and one Goldman.
Or Archie Bunker's law firm, Rabinowitz Rabinowitz and Rabinowitz. Seven savage jews who won't leave a scrap on your bones.
It's a safe bet she will never be accused of intellectual copyright infringement.
Does he address the issue of releasing the video on the day of the memorial to the victims, paying lip service to them, then using 90% of the rest to throw herself a juvenile pity party?
Sareh – Just because I mIght release a vIdeo on the day of the MEmorIal, It does not MEan that I don't know what Is Important! You people are so laME!
He would have, but he didn't want to run afoul of the copyright holders of "skidmark famewhore twat libel"
Look, pogroms and all that, all those people would have been dead anyway by now. But what the judges did to Bristol on Dancing with the Stars, those are FRESH GAPING WOUNDS and a BLOOD LIBEL, because they attacked MY FLESH AND BLOOD. *lip smacking rush of air*
Palin is predictable. Find a general vector pointing towards 'Presidential Behavior' and she'll be the one consistently going the opposite way: an anti-bellwether president.
I think by confidante they mean "official panty sniffer"
I'm pretty sure that in Republican lingo, "Confidante" means that they did the nasty in an airport bathroom.
Holy fuck, Wonkateers! Y'all are fast! I do an innocent run to the grocery store and come back to 77 comments on a post at 10: 05 am. Color me vagazzled!
What she should of done is get on her knees in front of the camera and have the Todd piss on her….worked for one fame whore (Kim Kardashian) why not for the Polar Princess?
Explain to me how a group of people can "copyright" a phrase hundreds of years ago, and said copyright would hold up in a US court when the US is less than 300 years old. Also, wasn't "Blood Libel" coined in the wake of the holocaust which was like 60 years ago. And mediahate just posts these comments from Ziegler without any pushback?
1) That "copyright" was intended as satire.
2) The phrase blood libel is several hundred years older than the holocaust–although this classic defamation was trotted as a popular justification for the Final Solution.
I thought djshay was satire
So how many sheckels do I have to pay for using blood libel? How do I pay? Do I just walk into any deli or jewler and pay them?
Blood libel.
Ask if they accept pee points first.
She should look up the big words in the speeches that others write for her before she delivers them.
Except that in the retard solar system, the Earth's in the middle. DUH.
Ironically, Narcissistic Personality Disorder is being culled from DSM V
Is it being replaced with "Just Like Sarah Palin Personality Disorder"?
If we own the copyright to "Blood Libel" where are my royalties?
The right are the true free speech advocates and civil rights advocates. Glenn Beck fought for the right to own Martin Luther King Jr. Laura Schlesinger would have made Lenny Bruce proud in her repetition of the word nigger and admonition not to be "NAACPed" by a caller. Now the new catch phrase (defended by the usual court Jews) is "don't blood libel me!" Where is Dr. Laura on this btw? She must be in need of an attention fix.
Are there any pictures of Ziegler slipping Sarah the "hot beef injection?" If not, photoshop anyone?
1. "Cold pimento loaf"
2. DO NOT WANT
From what pool does the right draw its radioheads? How do they come up with such a consistent quality of dickishness from such disparate backgrounds? Convicted Felons, would-be assassins, failed sports commentators, trans, bi's, Nazis, Zionists, preachers. Brings to mind Harvey Korman's call to arms in "Blazing Saddles".
"Now, WATCH! ME! FAGGOTS!"
Exactly, Dom.
Next, Apple will sue her for patent infringement. "Waste of time" is legally as part of the iPad feature set. See the landmark case Angry Birds v Pigs.
I don't think you really need to read the book, Barb. It'll just be reruns for a Wonketteer such as yourself.
Excellent point!
Palin doesn't believe in copyrights. She doesn't believe in anything she, personally, cannot spell.
Confidante? Does Todd know this guys is boning her?
BTW, making fun of Snowbilly's family is brood libel.
Shylock Palin: If you prick me, do I not bleed?
Jews. Always with their historical persecution.
You can even invent one yourself! The English language is cool like that.
I beg to differ. William Shakespeare invented a lot of words/terms and he couldn't get elected dogcatcher in Stratford-on-Avon these days.
Someone upthread has the link to the awesome profile in the Atlantic that David Foster Wallace wrote several years ago, which was also in Consider the Lobster. I would also remind the Wonketeers that John Ziegler is this guy.
Christ, what an asshole.*
————————————————————
*Mention of Wallace**, of course, requires a footnote, as well.
**which is not to say Wallace was an asshole. Though I do resent his stealing all his future writing away from us.
Ziegler is so pussy-whipped for Palin it isn't funny. Probably the starburstiest of the whole fan club.
"Knock knock"
"Who's there?"
"RETARD."
You didn't say good joke.
But then again, she is a terrible joke, also.
Ya know, if she'd have just used the term "blood slander" there wouldn't have been any controversy at all. And it's more accurate too, also.
It is this last allegation that is most maddening. I have a rule, whenever criticizing anyone, that I at least provide an alternative mode of behavior. So, in that vein, what exactly was she supposed to do?
I do not know. Maybe "I am sorry this guy was a nut, but yes, some of the comments made by me and my PAC were out of line." Oh wait, I am thinking conservatives actually believe that spiel they give about personal responsibility.
Who Else But The Jews!
(Who Else But The Jews is filmed before a live studio audience)
Shakespeare copyrighted phrases too. Got to celebrate it!
Former Israeli Foreign Secretary Abba Eban said, "There's no business like Shoah business." If only Sarah Palin had even a tiny fraction of that wit.
Coming soon in a public toilet near you, as back-up for Waffle House Napkins.
Today, we are all blood libels.
I'll bet a box of Bristol's favorite doughnuts that not one member of the Palin clan can find Israel on a map.
"So, in that vein, what exactly was she supposed to do?"
Don't make death threats.
What was she supposed to do? Exactly?
How about not yanking the questionable graphic within hours of the shooting? Or saying the same reasonable/obvious things everyone else was saying in the aftermath, instead of being conspicuously dead-quiet for days on end (for the first time since 2008)? Or not playing victim/attention-whore over a brutal mass-killing? Or having a soul?
Also, Ziegler is a scat-muncher.
Self-hating Jews says what? What a disgrace. You use whatever influence you have to defend Sarah fuckin' Palin? Really? You are not a serious person.
Triple word score!
And don't call me Fay.
