Stupid Palin Email Dump Media Frenzy Makes Fox News Poll Kind of Fun

by Wonkette Jr.  

Lou Sarah revealed, again.Unlike everyone else furiously competing to uncover new humiliating details within Sarah Palin’s thousands of newly released emails like greedy children searching for a Wonka golden ticket, Fox News reporter Greta Van Susteren will just conduct this slanted, simplistic poll about whether the media is being annoying. The answer is still yes! Congratulations, Lame Stream Media, for the first time ever we’d rather read a Fox News poll than suffer through any more of this “Palin email liveblogging.” What vitally important national security information have we come across so far?

And that is all you will ever need to know about this, no matter what the Washington Post says.  [Guardian/NYTimes/HuffPo/WaPo]

first! I reserve the right to edit this when i think of something witty

spudgun June 10, 2011 at 6:42 pm

You are just BEGGING for a banning, aintcha? ;-)

Sue4466 June 10, 2011 at 6:43 pm

By replying, I could totally block your ability to edit. But that would make me kind of an asshole.

spudgun June 10, 2011 at 6:44 pm

Oh, CRAP…I forgot about that. Now I'm the asshole and I just HATE it when that happens!

Apologies, Mormos.

BloviateMe June 10, 2011 at 6:43 pm

Tax cut and max slut rhyme. Go from there.

You're welcome.

horsedreamer_1 June 10, 2011 at 7:03 pm

Before they let her run as Mc Cain's VP, Steve Schmidt, Bill Kristol, and Nicole Wallace got airtight with Sarah?

mormos June 10, 2011 at 6:43 pm

ahh! I can't edit this for some reason!

Serolf_Divad June 10, 2011 at 7:09 pm

As someone who typically edits his posts 5 or 6 times (and I swear, I'm not this anally retentive about everything) it would be sheer hypocrisy of me to say anything nasty here.

user-of-owls June 10, 2011 at 7:17 pm

Ok, that leaves it up to me, I guess:

HEY, ASSHOLE! Go back to some fucking AOL chat room blog tweet suckhouse with the fucking 'first' fucking shit. I hope you are ban-hammered to fucking pieces AND your fucking prick or fucking cunt is covered in fucking oozing boils when you wake up tomorrow.

[Will that work Prof. Serolf?]

mormos June 11, 2011 at 1:59 am

My apologies.

Oh god please I hope so oh god…

Yes, she said she was impressed with your ability to “reload“ so quickly.

spudgun June 10, 2011 at 6:42 pm

I love you Wonkette Jr., I really do, but…

ALT-TXT FAIL.

Sharkey June 10, 2011 at 8:15 pm

Yeah we really have another Newell on our hands. It's pretty fuckin' easy Junior, e.g.:

"This vote really doesn't count for anything anyone cares about."
"Please confirm your email address."
"Are you interested in a subscription to one of our many fine publications?"
"All your vote are belong to us."

That took me all of about 60 seconds.

HistoriCat June 12, 2011 at 10:27 pm

Careful Sharkey or you'll get a job offer.

flamingpdog June 10, 2011 at 9:06 pm

Jeeze, guys, it's after 9 PM in D.C. Junior prolly wants to be at home, drunk or high or both with some sexytime with his/her/both partner, but Ken has him/her/both tied to a board in front of a PC working overtime for a couple of extra p and a can of Pringles.

JustPixelz June 11, 2011 at 9:11 am

Alt-Text fail? "Screen shot at 2011-06-10 04.31.34 PM" I laughed my ass off. I mean "screen shot"!?!? If Anthony Weiner had tweeted that, it would be a whole segment on Fux News. "PM"!!! Can only mean Penis Message. HA HA HA …. OMFG … HA HA HA!

tessiee June 12, 2011 at 11:02 am

Your penis messages intrigue me, and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

donner_froh June 10, 2011 at 6:42 pm

Wonkette was the first blog to recognize Sarah Palin's particular brand of inelegance and how it would appeal to the Teatards–who didn't even exist yet.

That will be tough to live down.

This is the one time re-grifting is NOT tacky.

The grift that keeps on grifting.

Most obvious grifter of all time, how does she get away with it?

FraAnima June 10, 2011 at 6:43 pm

What snow grifter fans everywhere want to know: Did Sarah send any e-pics of her hooters to anyone?

horsedreamer_1 June 10, 2011 at 7:04 pm

All of us.

flamingpdog June 10, 2011 at 9:09 pm

Yeah, this is the one she sent me. http://www.freespiritart.com/snowy-owl-prints.php

How can it be a "witch hunt" if you've already found the witch?

nounverb911 June 10, 2011 at 7:00 pm

What does Christine O'Donnell have to do with this?

user-of-owls June 10, 2011 at 7:20 pm

Really, this would work well with a 'b' instead of a 'w'

mormos June 10, 2011 at 6:44 pm

So we are literally going through Palin's trash now. When did CNN become TMZ?

revmod June 10, 2011 at 7:28 pm

The O.J. Simpson trial? It's been a while.

zhubajie June 11, 2011 at 6:42 am

You can learn a lot about people from their trash!

Biel_ze_Bubba June 11, 2011 at 6:59 am

Everything she produces is trash — what choice do we have?

Hey!! These oil cans are defective!

Sue4466 June 10, 2011 at 6:46 pm

"Palin signed some bill on the day Trig was born so that she didn’t have to count it as a vacation day."

That is all you ever need to know about Sarah Palin. Reporters, you can stop now. And mercifully, we can stop reading about her.

donner_froh June 10, 2011 at 7:51 pm

I don't get it–does Alaska really not have maternal leave for its employees, so that any state worker has to use vacation time to get paid on the day she actually gives birth?

Sounds like Scott Walker/Koch Brothers heaven.

Sue4466 June 10, 2011 at 8:06 pm

Some employers handle maternal leave the way they do disability and require that the employee use up her vacation leave before the disability leave kicks in. Since Palin wanted to charge rape victims for their evidence collecting rape kits, I have no sympathy for her if that was the case.

berkeleyfarm June 10, 2011 at 10:56 pm

You know, that gives the Trig Truthers some ammo there. If she'd really given birth to a baby, medical leave wouldn't have been a problem.

Plus, high risk induced birth, she may not have been in much shape to do so.

hooray4anything June 11, 2011 at 1:32 pm

Somewhere, Andrew Sullivan is furiously writing a blog post on the issue

tessiee June 12, 2011 at 11:06 am

Since I suspect that she's at best not in favor of family leave for others, and at worst, responsible for eliminating family leave, this just puts the cherry on the shit sundae.

Sue4466 June 12, 2011 at 11:37 am

But, wait, she's "pro life," so why wouldn't she (and other pro-lifers) support things like family leave & health care & living wages that make birthing those precious precious fetuses easier? That makes no sense.

Oh yeah, right, forgot myself for a sec there. Pro-lifers & sense don't belong in the same sentence.

memzilla June 10, 2011 at 6:46 pm

I weep for all the trees killed to print out the Palindreck.

And the brand of the 250 pounds of paper which was used? Georgia-Pacific, a proud subsidiary of Koch Industries.

Sharkey June 10, 2011 at 8:19 pm

And yet the radio was saying Republicans are aghast at the wastefulness of the process. Go figure.

BaldarTFlagass June 11, 2011 at 9:51 am

Two words: Ken Starr.

tessiee June 12, 2011 at 11:16 am

Ken Starr? Isn't he the guy in Hell, taking it up the keister from Joe McCarthy?

He is, right?
Please?

JustPixelz June 11, 2011 at 9:16 am

They're going to name another meadow after Sarah Palin™, similar to the "Going Rogue Grasslands".

Geminisunmars June 11, 2011 at 1:24 pm

What, the Lou Sarah Wastelands?

tessiee June 12, 2011 at 11:12 am

"all the trees killed to print out the Palindreck … 250 pounds of paper"

"Why didn't I listen to my mother and go to tree college? I could have been *nice* paper, and had a fulfilling career wiping shit off of asses, but NOOOOO!"

WhatTheHeck June 10, 2011 at 6:46 pm

I wonder what Margaret Thatcher’s people have to say about these “idiotic” e-mails?

"What's an e-mail?"

Sue4466 June 10, 2011 at 8:03 pm

They're nuts? just like their drafter.

zhubajie June 11, 2011 at 6:43 am

That Sarah is too nutty to meet with the rather senile Baronness when Sarah visits London.

tessiee June 12, 2011 at 11:19 am

We should ask Limeylizzie. They probably called her up and told her all about it, since she knows everybody in England.

KeepFnThatChicken June 10, 2011 at 6:51 pm

If:

she never really was a candidate,
and only half a governor,
and it didn't take us long to hone in on her modus operandi
and she is from Alaska, after all,
then her emails are going to be slightly anti-climactic.

flamingpdog June 10, 2011 at 9:14 pm

Please, don't put "climactic" or any variation of the word "climax" in a post about Sarah Palin.
/shudder

Biel_ze_Bubba June 11, 2011 at 7:02 am

She doesn't believe in global warming, so how about anti-climatic?

gullywompr June 10, 2011 at 6:54 pm

In her defense, all those emails were composed in haste in response to gotcha Alaska legislators and constituents, so give her a break, willya?

DangerHelvetica June 10, 2011 at 8:46 pm

For the troops.

nounverb911 June 10, 2011 at 6:57 pm

"Palin signed some bill on the day Trig was born so that she didn’t have to count it as a vacation day."
Isn't that sweet she wanted to be at the hospital when her grandson was born.

Callyson June 10, 2011 at 7:03 pm

Todd may have enough animal cunning not to sext.

tessiee June 12, 2011 at 11:22 am

I sure hope so. I would pay good money NOT to see his pecker, in or out of his drawers.

Callyson June 10, 2011 at 7:01 pm

"all journalists' emails and all politicians' emails should be made public on the internet"
OK, Greta, you first…and don't try to tell me your personal emails should be exempt.
Oh, and while we're at it, Greta, what newspapers and magazines do you read? What shows do you watch or listen to? When is the last time you asked a question that was actually important?

RavenRant June 10, 2011 at 8:45 pm

Actually, she asked Preibus why Vitter didn't have to resign, if Weiner had to? Of course, she let him off without answering, but she asked. More than anyone else at Fox would have.

Except Shep. But he's looking more and more out of place over there.

flamingpdog June 10, 2011 at 9:20 pm

Questions with "yes" and "no" and "true" and "false" as possible answers? Multiple choice questions like this require too much thinking for the teatards.

fuflans June 11, 2011 at 12:51 am

this was fun.

berkeleyfarm June 10, 2011 at 7:11 pm

The "We should go through everyone's emails" seems to be one of the primary MOs suggested to the Palinbots, along with "we should be concentrating on JERBS (etc.) instead of focusing on Sarah". Of course they weren't saying the latter when Palin is getting the type of attention she *wants*.

BarackMyWorld June 10, 2011 at 7:27 pm

Was she hounded for three-years to release the most obscure version of her birth certificate? No? Ok, then. Victimhood rejected.

berkeleyfarm June 10, 2011 at 10:57 pm

Sorry for the accidental downfist. I upfisted some of your other comments in penance.
