Sarah Palin thinks you’re an asshole. Yes, you.

How do you write a book, if you can't read?

Sarah Palin has a new book out and no one wants it. (Insert shock and surprise here)

The book has not even landed in stores yet and it’s already discounted 40% off the original retail price. I don’t know much about publication, but I would consider that a 1,2 punch in the “shut the hell up Sarah Palin” gut. I suggest she pray to Jesus and demand he stop spying on gay marriages and take up a post at Harper Collins.

In her book, Palin covers a wide swath of America in her generalized disgust with anyone with a college education or mediocre belief in science. From bloggers to the “Liberal Media Elite”, Sarah Palin makes many a baseless claims about those who simply decided to call her nonsense and partisan idiocracy as they saw it. Much of this started with Tina Fey’s impersonation of her on SNL and seemed to snowball from there.

According to Palin, SNL was out to get her and maliciously transformed her , “Drill, Baby, Drill” mantra into something perverse and sexual. Apparently a sexual innuendo is worse than lacking the intellectual integrity to admit that fossil fuels will be the downfall of our country and that destroying the environment for a dirty fuel is probably not the best option. She goes on to insult SNL, claiming that she expected more of them. Obviously she hasn’t watched the show in some time.

I can see Russia from my blouse?

Sadly, I have to admit I agree with her, in some ways.

Of course SNL is rarely funny anymore and we all know who to blame for that, but it’s not that she expected SNL to be funnier in this case, simply that she was upset that she was being skewered for being an uneducated plebeian.

Palin had very little to say about bloggers, that did not sound as if it had been dipped in an ink well of poisonous envy. While the media has been ridiculous in their treatment of her from time to time (as demonstrated below), her treatment was no more intellectually dishonest than the treatment Bush and Cheney had received from an ill prepared and lazy media. She continues to claim that she was treated poorly because she was a woman and that the media had a love affair with Obama, when the truth of the matter was very simple.

America and the media had been overwhelmed with Christian theology and intellectual suicide for the previous 8 years and they didn’t want any more “good ol boy” political stupidity. Palin’s inability to accept that she lost her bid for the vice presidency, because of her personality and intelligence, is a telling sign of her fading presence in reality.

This video clearly shows that the media disliked her as this was not worth considering “news worthy”. It’s even worse when you consider that turkey murder had to be censored so that Americans wouldn’t feel bad or be forced to accept where their food comes from. This very simple act is very indicative of the medias coddling of the American psyche.

There were plenty and I mean PLENTY of other news worthy stories  they could have focused on to discredit this woman. However, making this stupid video a youtube sensation was poor journalism. Oh and who the hell pardons a turkey? I digress.

However she felt about the MSM and liberal bloggers, it was nothing compared to her disdain for Katie Couric.

“Though Katie edited out substantive answers, she dutifully kept in the moments where I wore my annoyance on my sleeve…. There was much Katie appeared not to know, or care to hear about.”

“But Katie wasn’t interested in discussing these issues. And when I did, she didn’t air them. Instead, when I tried to describe frequent Russian incursions by figuratively referring to Vladimir Putin entering our airspace, CBS researched the Russian leader’s actual flight over the United States and called my statement inaccurate. And when I referenced Alaska’s narrow maritime border to describe our close proximity to other nations, CBS reported that the Coast Guard monitored the border and not the governor.”

[snip]

“But Katie’s purpose – shared by most media types – seemed to be to frame a ‘gotcha’ moment. And it worked. Instead of my scoring points for John McCain, I knew that I had let the team down.”

[snip]

“I don’t think she really wanted to hear my answer because she interrupted me five times as I tried to give it. The badgering had begun. This is really annoying me, I thought. Then she asked me about abortion and the morning-after pill twelve times. Twelve different times.”

[snip]

“I answered as graciously and as patiently as I could. Each time, I reiterated my pro-life, pro-woman, pro-adoption position. But no matter how many ways I tried to say it, Katie responded by asking her question again in a slightly different way. I began to feel like I was in the movie Groundhog Day.”

I have watched the infamous Katie Couric interview several times and it would have taken a miracle in order for Palin to come off intelligent.  Her responses, no matter how many erroneous claims of editor bias she lobs, were poorly thought out and respective of her passion for intellectual exploration and curiosity. In Short, the woman was way out of her league and a blind, deaf immigrant would have been able to discern that. It wasn’t Katie Couric that ruined Palin’s career, it was Sarah Palin.

As horribly enjoyable as her fall has been, I do not have any misgivings about the woman. She is incredibly ambitious and she has no plans of vanishing anytime soon. I would not be surprised if we see her on the Republican ticket in 2012, even if she has to create an offshoot of the already disjointed party. As bloggers, we must keep the media on its toes and keep the conversation going.

America has a terrible memory and in 3 years they may very well forget the train wreck that was and will undoubtedly be again, Sarah Palin.
