Classless Palin Uses Thanksgiving Message to Mock Obama, Slam the Media [UPDATED]
While the Illegitimate Kenyan Usurper was encouraging Americans to “look out for one another” during these difficult times and reminding us to honor and thank the many thousands of US troops whose holidays are observed in the shadow of war, America’s Back-Seat Driver™ took to her Facebook soapbox to show us all how a Real Leader commemorates the National Day of Thanks—by peevishly lashing out at her critics over their reporting of her recent “North Korea” gaffe, and clearing the air over rumors that she’s trying to wrangle a slot for Christine O’Donnell on Dancing With The Stars. You know—the sort of Important Leader Stuff that JFK or Winston Churchill or Maggie Thatcher always talked about at moments of global economic and military crisis.
Anyone who expected her to not indulge in a bitchy snark-fest on The Day We Count Our Blessings was instantly disabused of the notion by her cheeky headline, “A Thanksgiving Message to All 57 States,” and her wacky opening compendium (Giggity!) of a dozen or so verbal slips by President Obama—complete with YouTube links, just so you know she’s not lying about them the way nasty, terrible people are always lying about her.
Then, as all Great Leaders do—and Sarah Palin more than any of them—she paints herself as the helpless victim of connivers, whisperers and the Gnomes Who Live Under the Stairs:
If the media had bothered to actually listen to all of my remarks on Glenn Beck’s radio show, they would have noticed that I refer to South Korea as our ally throughout, that I corrected myself seconds after my slip-of-the-tongue, and that I made it abundantly clear that pressure should be put on China to restrict energy exports to the North Korean regime. The media could even have done due diligence and checked my previous statements on the subject, which have always been consistent, and in fact even ahead of the curve. But why let the facts get in the way of a good story? (And for that matter, why not just make up stories out of thin air – like the totally false hard news story which has run for three days now reporting that I lobbied the producers of “Dancing with the Stars” to cast a former Senate candidate on their show. That lie is further clear proof that the media completely makes things up without doing even rudimentary fact-checking.)
Thanks, Sarah! On this day of solemn yet joyful introspection, as we reconcile the ledger of our individual hardships against the ever-renewing bounty of our Freedom and the never-failing Spirit of Generosity that infuses our families and countrymen, your Queeg-like paranoia and consuming obsession with petty slights and score-settling are an inspiration to us all!
[UPDATE]: As a half-assed afterthought—or perhaps because she’s monitoring the Twitter reactions to her dipshit tantrum—Sarah throws a bone to America’s Armed Forces, urging all of us to contribute to the USO to say “Thank you” to our troops on Thanksgiving—about 90 minutes before Thanksgiving ends in the Lower 48.
Way to slip it in under the wire, Snooki! I guess you were too busy promoting your book to post that yesterday, when it might have mattered.
