What a Twit.
29 05 2009
Way to spoil a surprise. More comedy gold from Sarah Palin’s Twitter account. She’s gone and blown it.
Via Lindsay at Videogum comes the news that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin bleated out a tweet on her Twitter that seems to have revealed the heavily, and comedically, guarded actual destination of Stephen Colbert’s upcoming trip to the Persian Gulf. So, SPOILER ALERT:
Getting ready to tape shout-out for our awesome US troops serving overseas! Will be on ‘Colbert Report’ next month, broadcast from Iraq…
Yes, so Colbert is going to…uhm…Iraq! Which is really great for the troops stationed there! But it still seems, well…a bit anti-climactic for the rest of us, doesn’t it? Which is probably why the show was working so hard to drag the whole thing out, for the sake of laughs.
I wonder if they would have let her have a Blackberry if she had been Vice President…

AKM — tiny point, maybe. It looks like you copied the block quote from Jason Linkins at HuffPo. I see that the link is to that article, but it might be polite to give credit in the post itself. Eh?

I thought for sure when the said she was going to be tweeting on twitter that it really wouldn’t be her but some hired publicist, heaven knows they have hired enough of them to handle her. But this is unbelieveable, I guess now Piper knows where to get a summer job.

Someone is saving alll the tweet, right? Book of compliled tweets could be called ‘tweethearts’ or twitwits.

Everyone is giving her too much credit. Who says Iraq is the correct place? It could be just some random country she knew the name of. OTOH, I wouldn’t put it past her to just spill the beans in spite (or just sheer stupidity).Night all.

My guess is that she was told “Persian Gulf”, and with Palin’s knowledge of world geography, she assumed Iraq.

I love it where Colbert tells Meredith Whatshername, “I have Twatted”!
hahahahahahahahahahaha, thanks, Stephen!

I’m confused…
Does she mean that her SHOUT OUT will be on Colbert or that SHE will be on Colbert?
Why would he invite and PAY FOR this nitwit to go ANYWHERE with him?

LOL, if you zoom Palin, meeting with her gas line team (The only picture from the meeting available is on the govs site is on the scroll) http://gov.state.ak.us/ She is sitting at the head of the table arms crossed all pissy looking. Guess they there finally realize the reign is near over and don’t have to suck up anymore….lol, Palin, must be going through withdrawals.

I think my favorite term for the twit (Bimbo) is an insult to all Bimbos. Gawd she is a blithering IDIOT !

The pee’ers are saying she should learn spanish, so she can get the latino vote—spanish??? She can’t even speak english!!! Probably doesn’t even know what a latino is!! I don’t think she’s even going to run for Pres. she’s sucking up all the money she can from her base( Sarah Pac-AFT-book deal- etc) and they don’t even realize their being scammed, if she does run, she’s a bigger bird-brained idiot than I thought!!! Some one must be writing all her articles now, no word salad….but the twit is doing her own bird-brain tweets.

What is the big to-do about the twat twitting about Colbert? We all knew about him going to visit the troops, he’s been talking about it for months. I think the real question should be, why would she even be twitting or tweeting about Colbert? Does she think he’s a real person?
